SUMMARY:Who Killed JFK – Historian Presents a Modern Analysis
DESCRIPTION: Who Killed JFK?\n I’ll Tell You! \n \nThe murder of John F. Kennedy on November 22\, 1963\, shocked the nation. A suspect was quickly arrested and subsequently murdered. President Lyndon Johnson appointed a blue ribbon committee – the Warren Commission – to answer the question: who killed JFK? \nTheir conclusion was that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. Immediately\, the public was skeptical. Stephen King described Oswald as “a semi-educated hillbilly with delusions of grandeur.” How could such an insignificant loser pull off such a dastardly crime? And why did Jack Ruby\, accused of being a Mob member\, kill Oswald? \nWe have been through with whispered knowledge of conspiracies and confessions and coverups. And so the public has asked for an explanation of the “magic bullet.” \nAnd the contradictory witness statements. \nAnd Oswald’s shadowy past. \nAnd all of the “secret files.” \nAnd all of the conspiracy theories. \nAnd all of the “mysterious deaths” associated with the assassination? \nBooks and articles\, movies and documentaries have raised in innumerable questions about who killed JFK. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis\nSo who killed JFK? I will attempt to answer as many of these questions as possible. First I will attempt to separate historical fact from theory & speculation. Second\, I will show what the historical record actually indicates happened. We have access to much more information today then the Warren Commission had in 1963/4 or the House of Representatives had in 1977. Third\, we will examine what modern computer forensics can tell us about the crime. For instance\, the Warren Commission had access to the “Zapruder Film.”  Today\, we can use computers to enhance and analyze the film. We can use modern technology to analyze the path of each of the bullets that were fired. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis \nAnd we can use computers to isolate the mysterious sounds captured by a Dallas motorcycle patrolman.  In 1977\, the House of Representatives believed that the recording showed four shots fired in Dealy Plaza.  The National Academy of Science\, among many other groups\, have taken the same sound recordings and used state-of-the-art technology to analyze them. What do we know now? \nYou may not agree with my conclusions\, but you will definitely learn a lot and come away with a new perspective about the historical record of who killed JFK. \nBONUS!

SUMMARY:The Crime of the Century – The Supermodel\, The Architect\, And the Insane Millionaire
DESCRIPTION:Click here to read more about this amazing story! \nAt the dawn of the 20th century\, America was riveted by the first celebrity murder case in America. Every element of this story is fascinating! \nThe murderer was already famous and so was the victim and so was the murderer’s wife. The venue was famous and so were the lawyers involved. The only thing missing was wall-to-wall cable news coverage! As I often say when I am speaking to audiences: “You can’t make this stuff up!” \nThe Crime of the Century – The Supermodel\, The Architect\, And the Insane Millionaire\nThe Crime: Stanford White\, the most famous architect in America was murdered on the rooftop of Madison Square Garden (a building he designed) by Harry K. Thaw of Pittsburgh\, the insane millionaire heir to one of America’s great fortunes.  With some justification\, Thaw obsessively believed that Stanford White had drugged and raped Thaw’s teenage wife – the very glamorous and very young showgirl\, Evelyn Nesbitt. And just to make the story even more tabloid-ready\, Ms. Nesbitt was the first supermodel in American history. You cannot make this stuff up! \nIf this amazing true crime story sounds just a little bit familiar\, it’s because the story of the murder of Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw and the involvement of glamorous Evelyn Nesbit was the basis of “Ragtime\,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning E. L. Doctorow novel\, an Oscar Award-winning movie\, and a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical\, both also named  “Ragtime” and the 1950s potboiler film “The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing.” \nThis fascinating\, one-of-a-kind multimedia presentation will bring to life the vivid celebrities\, lurid crime\, and amazing history of the first crime of the century. \nTHIS ZOOM PRESENTATION IS FREE!

SUMMARY:Jack Ruby - Hothead\, Hitman or Patriot?
DESCRIPTION:Jack Ruby – Hothead\, Hitman\, or Patriot?\nHere is what we know for sure.  Jack Ruby was an erratic\, violent man who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald. \n \nThe most hotly debated question related to this infamous crime is WHY Jack Ruby chose to murder Lee Harvey Oswald.  Some conspiracy theorists focus on Ruby’s ties to Chicago’s organized crime Outfit and claim that he shot Oswald on orders from the Mafia in order to protect the Mob leaders who ordered JFK’s assassination.  Other theorists jump on his ties to the Dallas Police and say he was a hitman working for THEM! (The statements would seem contradictory unless you assume that the Mafia and the Dallas Police conspired to murder Oswald!) \nThis very unique\, in-depth multi-media presentation explores Jack Ruby’s dark past\, his countless acts of spontaneous violence\, and his twisted relationships with women\, colleagues\, employers\, and mobsters.  We will look at all of the major theories that attempt to explain Jack Ruby’s strange behavior. Using the documented details from his odd life and his painful death\, we will eventually see which theory best explains Jack Ruby’s decision to murder Lee Harvey Oswald. \n  \n
