WikiProject JFK Assassination Files (Wikisource)

There is a new WikiProject over Wikipedia's sister-project Wikisource for the JFK Assassination Files release/being released by the U.S. government.

The goal of the project is to transcribe the documents released related to the assassination, so the information present in them is readable and easily accessible to everyone. If you are interested in joining or checking it out, please see WikiProject JFK Assassination Files. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:04, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2nd shooter and FA

It’s no longer a conspiracy theory, APL confirmed it’s very likely that there were 2 shooters, we should remove this possibility from the “conspiracy theory” section. Due to the great changes that will come to this article in the future, I also think the featured article status should be put in to question too.

If 'great changes' are made to this article, they'll occur in the context of including more credible refutations of these conspiracy theories. No new evidence or information has come to light -it's the same magic bullet myths and grassy knoll narratives that have been endlessly repeated for decades and discredited by various ballistics experts, computational analysts, intelligence professionals etc. The allegations against the CIA and US government are groundless, and the mafia speculation's based on little more than a hunch. It's clear to me that a significant number of Americans will continue to live in these rabbit holes, despite all the science, evidence and logic telling them they're wrong.[1] Jonathan f1 (talk) 06:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I guess we will have to wait until 2027 to see. V.B.Speranza (talk) 23:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell Luna has said that she believes that there were likely two shooters, but that's just her personal opinion and if it's based on newly discovered evidence the relevant files have not yet been released. The scholarly consensus has not yet changed. Possibly when the new records are declassified and released the scholarly consensus will change, but as of this moment it hasn't. It's also worth remembering that Luna is a politician, not a scholar and not an expert on the Kennedy assassination – our article on her even says She faced scrutiny when she suggested bringing in members of the Warren Commission for questioning about the investigation of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as all members of the Warren Commission are dead which doesn't suggest to me that we should be blindly trusting her statements!

The ability of such people to mouth off, without embarassment, about something they obviously know nothing about never ceases to amaze. EEng 19:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I assume you're referring to V.B. Speranza, who naively believes Luna is an authority in this area. Jonathan f1 (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
She clearly reviewed the documents and made those exact remarks, something you and I didnt, so it’s hardly surprising that she now carries herself as an authority on the matter. Of course, Jonathan, I’m sure your understanding of the topic is far more extensive. V.B.Speranza (talk) 01:41, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The audio of the Dallas PD radio traffic in this video has been scientifically analyzed and it is highly compelling. I invite any and all to examine this audio and science behind the discovery (can be found here https://presidentkennedyassassination.blogspot.com/)

Key points: - The Morse code conclusions are wrong but I now know what the beeps mean, I have not released that information as of yet. - Discoveries made after I published the video -- Whistling right before the first shot -- and Beethoven's 5th right after the President was shot was transmitted (V for victory) -- A flurry of radio traffic right after the President was shot -- Chief Jessie Curry smuggled this unedited audio out of the Dallas Police Dept (the provenance of the audio cannot be disputed) -- The Congressional Hearing audio experts in the 1970's did not decompress the Gray Audiograph machine recording medium and thus got the timeline completely wrong.

Amateur analysis isn't admissible on Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 00:16, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This person isn't isn't an amateur, audio and music professional with one film credit, published book and one released album. He also works with complex mathematical algorithms. Certainly not an amateur. What's your qualifications? Rtshawnee (talk) 11:42, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being a musician doesn't make someone a professional forensic acoustic analyst. Wikipedia uses reliable academic and scholarly sources, it does not source from blogs. Acroterion (talk) 14:08, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
