As anyone who has read any of my postings to
this point has likely gathered, I believe there was a conspiracy
involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. However,
that does not make me a “conspiracy buff”. Unfortunately we are finding
out more and more every day that many of the national incidences our
country has experience in which the potential for conspiratorial
activity have been applied are more than likely true. I simply believe
in a conspiracy when the weight of the evidence points to such being the
case. And in the case of JFK there is ample, overwhelming evidence to
point to a conspiracy.
I personally don’t believe Lee Harvey Oswald even fired a weapon that day. And in order to prove that you need to prove much of the physical evidence against him to be inaccurate in their representation. You have to explain away the rifle found on the sixth floor of the building he worked at. Beyond that you have to explain away the three spent rifle shells found on the sixth floor as well. The fact that only three shells were found on the sixth floor forced the Presidential Commission put together by new President Lyndon Johnson to work from the perspective that only three shots were fired in Dealey Plaza the day the President died. This was necessary considering the fact that the Commission wanted to do their best to prove Oswald’s guilt without considering the possibility that anyone else was involved. It’s interesting that the Commission held the stance that they established and believed in their single bullet theory (a.k.a. ‘The Magic Bullet Theory’) from the very beginning. However, the truth is that they maintained the simple conclusion that one shot hit Governor John Connally, accounting for all of his wounds, and then two shots hit the President, one through the back and out his throat and one to the right side of his head. However, it soon came to the Commission’s attention that one bullet struck the curb ahead of the President’s motorcade, chipping away a piece of concrete that struck bystander James Tague in the face. This was a situation the Commission could not explain away, and thus they were relegated to only two bullets to account for all of the President’s and Governor Connally’s wounds. Thus they were forced to establish the single bullet theory, which claims that the President’s back/throat would was caused by the same bullet that caused all of Governor Connally’s wounds (which totaled seven in all and were spread all over his body from his back, through his chest, and then his wrist, and the final wound to his thigh). This became necessary when it was clear that there was a time gap between all of these wounds and then when the President was struck in the head. The head shot had to account for one bullet all by itself. That, coupled with the misfired bullet, makes for two of the three shots leaving only one bullet to account for everything else.
This is all critical to keep in mind as I go into the crux of this brief analytical point. There were five bullet fragments discovered after the assassination in the Presidential limousine, only two of which were of any significant size (Commission’s Exhibits 567 and 569). By all accounts these fragments would have had to be from the bullet that struck the President in the head and not from any other bullets involved. Again, one shot missed the vehicle all together, by at least 20 feet, and thus there’s no way these fragments found could have been from that bullet. And, if we follows the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the bullet that caused the remainder of the President’s and the Governor’s wounds was found with practically no metal missing from it all and in one piece. Analysis of a metal fragment in Governor Connally’s leg alone was found to weigh more that all the metal lost from this bullet (Commission’s Exhibit 399); itself disproving the single bullet theory by itself. But even if the Warren Commission is given the benefit of the doubt in that matter, the fact of the matter is, of three shots, we have one missing the car all together and another with practically no metal missing from it. This leaves only one bullet to account for these fragments, and that being the final shot that struck Kennedy’s head.
Now, on the outset, these fragments appear to bolster the Warren Commission’s conclusions at least that the head shot came from behind (along with every other shot) seeing as these fragments were found near the front of the limousine, suggesting the President to have been hit from behind, knocking him forward and sending bullet fragments forward to the head of the car. However, this is very suspicious, especially since every film of the assassination and every eyewitness account of the assassination shows that the President was not thrust forward. There has already been suspicion about these conveniently discovered fragments that were conveniently tied to the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (and purportedly was purchased by Oswald through the mail, having purchased it with an alias and having it sent to a mailbox wherein only mail sent to his real name could be obtained). However, if there were more shots fired there could have been a shot that struck the President from behind as well as a shot from the front (accounting for Kennedy’s backward falling motion after being struck in the head). There is ample evidence that two shots may have struck him simultaneously, more than anything, bolstered by the fact that so many witnesses said around the time of the head shot that they heard two shots practically on top of each other (one almost sounding like the echo of another). So other shots may account for this oddity, but then one must admit there was a conspiracy in the assassination. After all, if it’s that easy to prove there was a second assassin then why couldn’t a government-formed Commission figure that out (outside of the fact that they didn’t want to). With the way the Secret Service swarmed around the Presidential limousine after the assassination it would not be a far stretch to even suggest these fragments had been planted. Some would argue such is nonsense, that no one would do such a thing unless they knew for certain these fragments would match and that there’d be an opportunity to put them in place. They want to argue that such ideas are too outlandish to believe, and yet there was no problem in doing this with the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, or the three spent shells, or the backyard photographs supposedly depicting Oswald with the rifle he used to kill the President (all pieces of evidence which have extensive problems with them and of which are believed by many to have been placed where they were to frame up Oswald as the assassin).
There are many instances in the assassination wherein discovered pieces of evidence were found in bizarre ways. Dallas Officer Roger Craig, one of the two officers who discovered the spent shells on the sixth floor said they were all lined up side by side (an absurd likelihood considering Carcano rifles eject their shells violently to the right). Commission’s Exhibit 399 (the magic bullet) is quite possibly the most far-fetched of them all, having been discovered on a stretcher that was likely never used by President Kennedy or Governor Connally wedged between the stretcher itself and the padding on top of it. We are led to believe then that the bullet slipped out of Connally’s final wound, (again, assuming the unlikely possibility that the stretcher where the bullet found was even used by him) the one to his thigh, fell out of his pants and somehow defied gravity so as to roll off the stretcher’s pad and not simply fall to the ground, but to wrap around with the padding and somehow wedge itself between that pad and the stretcher itself. Maybe on the moon such defying possibilities are not overly absurd, but here on Earth they are laughable to say the least. I mention this because one of the fragments, Commission’s Exhibit 567 was found in an equally unlikely place: on the front driver’s seat. This means that somehow a small bullet fragment managed to either go through the driver’s body to land on the seat or floated around somewhere unknown before magically falling right into place several hours later when the fragment was found. Being found between the front seats (like Commission’s Exhibit 569 was) or being found on the floor makes sense, but not somewhere in which the fragment could not possibly have landed. And finally, to end this venture into theories that the fragments may have been planted, as with so many aspects of the Kennedy assassination, upon being discovered, this evidence was not photographed upon discovery in their original locations. We just have the Secret Service and the FBI’s word to believe, which, if you’ve examined the Kennedy assassination as much as I have, provides little to no consolation.
And finally, as I have only recently discovered today and I will use as my finishing point in this discussion of an area of the Kennedy assassination that I don’t often go into, there is the examination of these bullet fragments by UC Irvine chemist Vincent P. Guinn. Mr. Guinn examined these fragments for the House Select Committee on Assassinations and came to the conclusion that all of these fragments came from at least two different bullets. However, following the Warren Commission’s story as to what happened, and delving back into what I discussed earlier, this is impossible since only one bullet (again, the head shot bullet) could have accounted for all of these fragments. Unless you want to believe that pieces of a bullet can magically break off into fragments that are unaccounted for with the bullet itself (like with CE 399) or you want to believe that the bullet that missed the car entirely magically struck the ground and then threw fragments backwards (which in and of itself is an anomaly) that conveniently landed right in the Presidential limousine you do not have a leg to stand on if you are a lone assassin theorist who buys into the conclusions of the Warren Commission. If this examination, by a nationally renowned chemist selected to conduct experimentation for a governmental committee, reached the conclusion that there were two different bullets that accounted for these fragments then, everything else disregarded, you have to admit that there were at least four shots fired. And once you make that leap it proves the Warren Commission’s story inaccurate. And from there you have to accept the fact of a conspiracy with regards to the assassination of President Kennedy. And this is only one example out of many that I have studied in which such a conclusion not only can, but must be reached on the weight of the evidence.
