The "magic" bullet
I was born on the day John F Kennedy's second
son, Patrick, died - 9th August 1963. I have become interested in this subject
because JFK was of Irish descent and he died the year I was born. On 12th July
2000 I finally visited Dealey Plaza, Dallas.
Visit to Dallas, July 2000
On Friday 22 November 1963, at approximately 12.30 (CST) in the
afternoon in Dallas, Texas, the 35th President of the United States of America,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK), was shot by unknown assassin(s).
The questions generations have been asking is "who did it
and why?" Was it the CIA, the Russians, the Chinese, the Mob, Cubans or
a lone nut?
For there to be a conspiracy more than one person would have to be
involved. For it to be a government conspiracy thousands of people would have
to be involved. Is this possible?
It is generally regarded that the original report, The Warren
Report, was a whitewash. Enthusiasts throughout the world are fascinated by
this subject - many have their own, weird, unsubstantiated theory. Many make
the pilgrimage to Dallas, Texas.
Some say there are too many unanswered questions so it must be a
conspiracy. If there was a conspiracy, would someone not have slipped up and
blurted out the "secret".
Many in the world would sleep happier in knowledge of knowing who
did it.

I believe the following...
The assassins are flown in - the security for the President
reduced and the parade route is changed. Oswald is told to be at the Book
Depository that day but is not told the reason. Before the shooting, the
assassins take their places. Three teams - each with a shooter and spotter. One
shooter is behind the grassy knoll, dressed in a policeman's uniform. Men
disguised as Secret Service agents keep other people off of the knoll, away
from where the shooting will take place. One team is on the sixth floor of the
Book Depository - another in a low floor of the Dal-Tex building.

Kennedy's motorcade turns onto Elm Street - within 5.6 seconds, a
total of six shots are fired:
the first shot fired from behind misses
completely
the second shot, fired from the front, hits Kennedy in
the neck. Kennedy raises his arms to his throat
the third shot hits JFK in the back
the fourth shot fired from behind hits Connally
the fifth shot misses the car completely, striking the
curb where James Teague is wounded by a fragment
A bullet hits the windscreen
the sixth shot hits Kennedy in the head,
fired from the front and right

As the shooters disassemble their weapons and plant the one on
the sixth floor to frame Oswald, Oswald realizes what has happened. During the
assassination, Oswald was on the second floor of the Depository - he shot no
one. He knows what happened and that he is probably the fall guy for the
assassination. So he leaves the Depository - meanwhile, the assassins have
easily left Dealey Plaza while Lyndon B Johnson is safely shuttled away and
told that one man had performed the assassination and there was no need to
worry about an international conspiracy. The cover-up begins, but doesn't work
completely.
The conspirators didn't have to worry about making sure the
cover-up worked - Johnson was close enough to those bullets to know what they
meant - four days later, he escalates the war in Vietnam and continues it
throughout his entire Presidency. The Warren Commission provides a nice tidy
explanation for a grieving American public, and the media cements the story in
the minds of the public.
No real investigation is undertaken, because the conspirators,
because of their power, don't allow one to happen. Relevant witnesses die in
mysterious accidents - people like Jim Garrison and Oliver Stone who try to
bring the truth to light are portrayed as lunatics in the press.
In this photo, taken by Mary Moorman, one can supposedly "see" a figure in a policeman's uniform. In the small photo below you appear to see a man with a white flash (centre of pic) in front of him, which looks like he has just fired a rifle (raised to his eye).
