This documentary is trash. It lectures the "conspiracy theorists" for extrapolating conclusions from a small event or insight, yet the only focus of the author is the book depository. A bit of the kettle calling the pot black if you ask me. The Grassy Knoll was identified by just as many witnesses if not more as the source of gun shots. Moreover, if Oswald is solely to blame, why does the government not declassify all the JFK files once and for all? Finally, the simple physics of his head getting slammed to the rear upon impact is another glaring oversight of "documentaries" that speak with such "authority" on what should or should not be considered conjecture. What an absolute waste of time.
This is maybe a case of @conquerordie seeing what he wants to see. (Conquer or die has got to be a he, I guess!) 1. "This documentary is trash." Well, let's see. 2. "It lectures the "conspiracy theorists" for extrapolating conclusions from a small event or insight, yet the only focus of the author is the book depository. A bit of the kettle calling the pot black if you ask me." No. The documentary explicitly agrees with what you say here. 36:06 - “Now, the scope of this video is not nearly exhaustive enough for me to attempt any conclusions regarding a second gunman.” - LEMMiNO. 1:37:54 - “The point being that there are countless ways to interpret the evidence in a case as vast as this one. I am not exaggerating when I say that you could easily make dozens of these videos and still have plenty left to talk about. After all, the Texas School Book Depository has been one piece of a much larger puzzle.” - LEMMiNO. Surely, it lectures both sides, not just the conspiracy theorists, for extrapolating conclusions from a small event or insight. Here's just one example... 52:38 - “I don’t know what to make of all this. The conspiracy crowd will, of course, amplify the more suspicious elements, while those who support the official narrative will focus on that which discredits Adams. But ultimately, we don’t know the exact timeline of events. It’s difficult enough to pin down the minute-by-minute chronology. Once you get down to seconds, there’s a lot of guesswork at play." - LEMMiNO 3. "The Grassy Knoll was identified by just as many witnesses if not more as the source of gun shots." Well. here again, LEMMiNO explicitly agrees with you. The precise numbers of how many witnesses identified the grassy knoll and how many identified the book depository in 5 different attempts to collate the evidence are shown on screen in the pie-charts at 35:07. As you can see, the results vary considerably, according to who is doing the collating, but these charts show exactly what you say - "The Grassy Knoll was identified by just as many witnesses if not more as the source of gun shots." The far more valuable statistic is given by LEMMiNO at 36:22. No matter which direction witnesses thought the shots came from , over 95% of witnesses thought that all the shots came from the same direction. That's fascinating and it points to a conclusion that LEMMiNO doesn't even state. He is not the first to point that out, but it is beautifully represented here. 4. "Moreover, if Oswald is solely to blame, why does the government not declassify all the JFK files once and for all?" Well, we are outside the scope of the video here, but here has been a general statutory obligation to release all the documents since the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act on 1992. The Trump administration helped the release program gain momentum. For example... On October 26th 2017, 2,891 documents were released. In November 2017, 24,633 documents were released. In December 2017, 3,539 more documents were released. In April 2018, 19,045 documents were released. President Biden’s “Memorandum for the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on the Temporary Certification Regarding Disclosure of Information in Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F Kennedy”, (snappy title) of Oct 22nd 2021 helped the process along. In December 2021, 1,491 documents were released. In December 2022, 13,263 more were released. In 2023, 2,695 were released. All are easily viewable on the website of the National Archive, but hey are not very interesting. There are thought to be roughly 4,000 documents which remain classified, less than 1% of the total in 1994, when the review began. These remaining 4,000 documents will be released. The reporting on this subject usually gives the reason for them not being released yet as being the safety of long-term informants if foreign governments and domestic crime families and the locations of safe houses, which are still in use. None of this still-sensitive information is thought to relate directly to the JFK assassination. 5. "Finally, the simple physics of his head getting slammed to the rear upon impact is another glaring oversight of "documentaries" that speak with such "authority" on what should or should not be considered conjecture." We are off the topics covered by the video again here, but this is simply not true. JFK's head jerks forward after the bullet hits. You have to look at the individual frames to see it clearly but, once you see it, it's as clear as day. Look at frames 312 to 314. The bullet hits Kennedy's head in frame 312. at that moment, the crown of his head is clearly above the level of the black line behind him formed by the top of the side of the limo. Now look at frame 313. This is the famous frame in which you can see the President's head explode. Now look at the crown of his head. See that it is now level with that black line formed by the top of the side of the limo. Notice also that the blood and brain tissue is being thrown up and forward, as a result of the bullet hitting. Now look at frame 314. The crown of Kennedy's head is now below the line of the top of the side of the limo. His head has jerked forward sharply. That movement has occurred in a tenth of a second. No one else in the car shows any sign of a similar movement. The backwards movement of JFK's head and torso doesn't start until from 316, long after the bullet has gone. 6. "What an absolute waste of time." Your time must be very precious. People who disagree with your assessment of this video would point to the beautifully realized graphics, the clarity of the arguments and the exhaustive sourcing and referencing - now over 53,000 words! Thank you for wasting more of your time reading this reply.
A few days back I had a dream where I was searching up your channel on youtube to see if you have any new videos (which is my irl routine). And here I am...
Why/How am i just now finding this gem of a RU-vid channel. This is great. I swear finding a new content creator is one of the best feelings in the world
The real cryptic thing is how LEMMiNO made a 47 minute video about random numbers and letters and made it so interesting that we all watched what we find very boring to the end.
i love this story. its almost certainly a huge one time pad that has been lost or destroyed and is literally impossible to decode. with padding, the original message could be as short as something like "FARTS." without the original pad, it is meaningless noise
its odd that in a q+a you said you didn’t like this video. The intro is pretty cringe but the facts are good and the ultimate message at the end is great, it shows you really care. few of your top 10 videos have a finally summary of thoughts like this, but this is an important one.
I took a cryptology class last semester, and while it wasn’t the most useful class for my career path, it was definitely one of the most interesting ones. I was gonna say it might be some super complex rsa cipher, but then you mentioned the whole not very mathy part, and that theory was killed. It might similar to the rotating key, where he performed physical actions on the key to creat the cipher.
Maybe you forgot to add the "CLOCK" back in the end of the video. Apart form that awesome video :) Thanks for making me happy whenever your video comes out. Cheers!
I find it interesting that the CIA allowed the statue without knowing the code. Imagine it had been something rude, or insulting to the CIA, or insulting to some foreign government or something.
I have a solution, hear me out... What if... We, as a community of dedicated fans of LEMMiNO, raise a substantial amount of money, hand them to LEMMiNO as the most trustworthy party and give them to Jim Sanborn in exchange for the solution to K4? Who says "no" to money?
I don't have the brainpower to ever properly solve something like this, but as someone who knows very little about cryptography here's a way to scramble the letters even more that I though of (though someone has probably thought of it before me): take a string of letters, for instance T H I S I S A S E C R E T C O D E now, split them in two by taking every other letter, as shown: T I I A E R T O E H S S S C E C D each half of the text can now be encoded with a different keystream, and then put back together one after the other like this: T I I A E R T O E H S S S C E C D Again, I'm no cryptographer, but this seems like a relatively simple way to massively complicate the decoding process, and in theory you can do it with any amount of different keystreams by splitting it into more parts, for example: T S A C T D H I S R C E I S E E O The person receiving the message then only needs to receive the different keystreams, (which could be disguised as a simple phrase of their own), and based on the number of words they received as keystreams would then know how many times to split the ciphertext up. I have no idea how this would relate to the kryptos puzzle, it certainly didn't seem like this was alluded to in any of his clues, but I still thought it was interesting.
