I'm not sure if the following "FAQ" section at www.jfkfiles.com (the Dale Myers' website) has been there lo these many months since the November 2003 airing of the ABC Peter Jennings' JFK documentary -- but I just noticed it today.

Movielib: Take notice of the first item on the FAQ -- re. "When will the DVD be available?". ............

http://jfkfiles.com/jfk/html/faq.htm

........ It indicates a release date (tentatively) of: 4th Quarter 2004.

Thanks much, David. I have looked at the site periodically but not for awhile. I'm quite certain those FAQs were not there the last time I looked (probably a couple months ago). The attempts by the conspiracists to invalidate Myers' work are interesting. It appears that many of their openings for criticism are the result of ABC taking shortcuts with the material and not the material itself. The entire page is informative and fascinating.

Great news that the DVD should be available in the fourth quarter of 2004 (maybe around November 22?). I can't wait.

people people!!!!!!!!

Twikoff did it, he also killed Nicole Simpson, hid Jimmy Hoffa's body and also knows that Elvis lives.


I don't believe LHO acted alone. I think LBJ could've been in it as well but then again that's JMHO

Although I think the conspiracy stuff is a lot of wishful thinking, why did Ruby shoot Oswald?

Ruby had a deep feeling of affection toward John Kennedy. Anyone who knew him well would tell you that. He was distraught to the point of tears on many occasions during the weekend when JFK was murdered.

He knew his way around the police department; he knew many of the officers by sight and by name. They knew him. It wasn't entirely surprising for them to see Ruby in the basement on Nov. 24th. Ruby always wanted to be where the action was.

Ruby obviously did not go downtown on Nov. 24th with the intent of killing Oswald. Because if he had, the following things certainly wouldn't have transpired ............

1.) He wouldn't have timed his arrival in the basement so close to the time Oswald was being led out of the building. He surely would have been "in position" much earlier. In fact, if Ruby had pre-meditated Oswald's murder (or if he had been a "hit man"), he SHOULD have been "in position" by no later than 10 AM that Sunday morning. (Because it was at that time (10 AM) that Oswald was supposed to originally be moved -- his departure was delayed by further interrogation by authorities AND by Oswald's wanting to change clothes just before departing).

2.) Ruby wouldn't have taken his beloved dog to the site of the killing, and just left the dog in the car.

3.) He wouldn't have gone to the Western Union office to send one of his night-club strippers a $25 money order -- which occurred a mere four minutes before he plugged Oswald. How could Ruby possibly have known his Western Union visit WOULDN'T take up even more time? If it had taken just ONE additional minute, Oswald would have been gone from the basement, and Ruby would have missed his chance at killing him.

4.) Ruby wouldn't have passed up numerous other opportunities during the weekend of November 22-24 to kill his prey. If he had been a hit man for some plotters, Ruby certainly would have (or at least he SHOULD have at any rate) killed Oswald coming right out of the Texas School Book Depository at 12:33 PM on Nov. 22, just minutes after Oswald assassinated JFK.

WHY, if they truly wanted Oswald eliminated after the assassination, would the Mob (or whoever) want Oswald to live for even two minutes afterward? Oswald could have easily been killed right at or very near where the assassination of Kennedy took place. But he wasn't.

Instead -- these professional conspirators (who are apparently smart enough to plan an elaborate and ultra-complicated "hit" on a U.S. President in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses and dozens of rolling cameras and succeed in covering up said actions) are evidently too stupid to eliminate their "patsy" in a timely fashion, even though this could EASILY have been done by just "planting" Ruby in Dealey Plaza to silence Oswald immediately. Sounds silly, doesn't it?

Plus -- Even if he missed killing Oswald at noon on 11/22, Ruby could still have killed Oswald earlier than when he did at 11:21 AM on Nov. 24 by shooting him in the police station the night of November 22nd (at the press conference conducted by D.A. Henry Wade). Ruby was photographed in the crowd (posing as a reporter) that night, and even spoke to Wade re. Oswald's 'Fair Play For Cuba Committee' at the conference.

So we KNOW he could have silenced the patsy days earlier than he did. Why didn't he? Answer: because at the time, Ruby didn't want to kill Oswald. He killed him on an impulse and because of a massive amount of luck of being in the right place at the exact right moment in time.

He later said he did it to spare Mrs. Kennedy the grief of a trial. And he truly thought he'd be considered a hero for killing the man who shot the President.

Interestingly, right after Ruby shot Oswald, a huge cheer was heard from the many spectators on the street outside the police station. They, too, were glad the bastard had been rubbed out. I imagine half the nation felt the same way at that exact instant.

That's not to say it's the "right" feeling to have toward anyone who (at that time) hadn't been convicted of any crime. But from a purely emotional standpoint -- I can't blame any of those that cheered Oswald's passing that afternoon.

New DVD coming July 20, 2004.
Was previously aired on National Geographic Channel.

hmm, looks kinda boring...
