You seem to be confusing me and flippyshark in this post, I have not recently offered any book as vital. However, I did a couple weeks ago ask if among the couple dozen books (I believe) you said you've read on the Kennedy assassination any were defending the case of Oswald as a lone shooter? I also then suggested Vincent Bugliosi's recent Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Not because it is vital (I've only read small parts of it) but because it is an extremely detailed anti-conspiracy case that lays it out in a single source.

That said, no I don't see any proof of a conspiracy when watching the Zapruder film. I feel I've seen adequate explanation of everything shown in that film without relying on complex (and frequently simply irrational) conspiracies.

And I feel bad for flippyshark. Apparently he can simultaneously be confused with JWBear and me.

I've been confused with worse.

And I have Bugliosi's book, but I haven't jumped into it yet.

I've sat down with people and watched the Zapruder film over and over, and marveled at how we all saw what our predispositions led us to see. We all pointed fingers at specific spots on the screen shouting "Look! How can you not see that?!" and we all went away mad.

Which I now find really interesting.
