How do conspiracy theorists interpret the Zapruder film?
For many years, conspiracy theorists believed that the Zapruder film showed that President Kennedy was shot from the front, based on the assumption that the head would move in the direction of the bullet. There are more recent claims that the Zapruder film has been edited to suppress the truth.
The Zapgruder film also indicates that more than one shooter was involved. It's rare that one individual was in the 1960's be able to assassinate a US President without "help" . By using the term "conspiracy theorists" it infers to many that such people are "out of touch" with the Warren Commission's one shooter theory.
The Zepgruder film led to other aspects of the crime. This includes:
A. The best FBI sharpshooters were unable to duplicate the assassination. It is good to point out that these snipers were in no danger of feeling the pressure of killing a US President, yet none could come close, using that ancient bolt action carbine;
B. How lucky can an assassin get? Supposedly Oswald was bent on killing JFK. Well what a coincidence that JFK's motorcade was going to pass right by Oswald's workplace on a weekday.
And as its done in organized crime, dupes like Oswald are killed because they know too much;
C. And, the good citizen, underworld patriot Jack Ruby felt the need to spend life in jail or receive the death penalty by murdering Oswald before anytime passed; and
D. There is no doubt that Oswald was involved in the assassination, but there had to be others involved. Shooting a President in the 1960's is/was a one man job. The chances of Oswald not hitting a thing with his old rifle was a "shot in the dark". There had to be more than one shooter.
What disease did John F. Kennedy contract when he was 3?
I am reading a book about him by Chris Mathews and when JFK got sick they didn't know what he had. It took until he was an adult to figure out it was Addison's disease . This is a form of leukemia . He also had a bad back and off and on through his life he was never well. They thought he would die 3 times. As he began his organizing for his 1960 run for president he is quoted as saying that if he was 80-85% well that was all he could expect. Considering his health problems it is possible he could have died in his second term.
Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963 while being transfered from the Dallas city jail to another prison facility.
Were there four shots when JFK was shot?
According to the Warren Commission, there were three shots fired by the lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. But my thoughts differ. I say there were 4, which more than 30 of those interviewed have heard 4.

Why was rose Kennedy lobotomized?
She was lobotomized in 1941, at the age of 23, because she had severe mood swings and behavioral problems. At the time, lobotomies were still controversial procedures and it rendered her catatonic and institutionalized for the rest of her life. She died in 2005.
Likely the one thing that helped the most in getting John F. Kennedy elected was television. His debates with Richard Nixon showed the sharp contrast between the two candidates.
