- The Alma and Joseph Gildenhorn Book Series features best-selling author James Reston Jr. discussing his book "The Accidental Victim: JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Real Target in Dallas." Terence Smith of PBS NewsHour interviews him
I really want to finish this discussion but I’m having a hard time not letting it drive me to madness. It’s just ridiculous, and it always makes me laugh when Warren Commission supporters start by saying something like “ all crazy conspiracy theories aside” and “ I’ve never come across a shred of evidence supporting any notion of conspiracy”.
Anyone who says this has either never truly researched this incredibly complex murder, or they’re minds were already made up on the subject so when faced with any information that goes in another direction they immediately disregard it.
The Warren Commission was a joke from its inception and their conclusions were exactly what they set out to prove and accomplished exactly what LBJ, Hoover and others wanted them to prove. Any other result was not acceptable whatsoever.
One of our greatest Presidents was killed that day and for so many of us, we will never stop working to drag those involved out into the harsh light no matter how staked the deck may be against us. Those men may be gone now but I’d be satisfied to take down their legacies if we can no longer take them down personally.
Very good post, keep in mind that the Warren Commission’s only task was to calm a rattled American populace. It was to calm the Americans fear that something far more sinister occurred, the Warren Report had the opposite effect for the Report became part of them.
The Warren Report is just a conspiracy theory, and a very poor one at that.
Hi crazy.
Anyone who believes the Warren Commisions findings on the vicious murder of our beloved president either does not know the facts. the true facts of the case or they have an IQ of about...40 ...
The Killer Queen is available on Kindle, 2022 updated edition. The evidence and explanation is compelling. A huge conspiracy with many government agencies involved. It will make you want to cry and feel afraid of the corruption in our government.
The audacity of these people never ceases to amaze.
The Killer Queen is a Kindle book, 2022 updated edition offers compelling evidence. Jackie was in on it with her Derringer. There is even a photo of Lee Harvey Oswald outside the entrance to the TSBD as the Limosine passed by. As Oswald said, I’m just a patsy. There was a huge conspiracy with many government agencies involved. The government bullied many witnesses to change their story. Those who stuck to telling the truth, the government murdered, such as Lee Harvey Oswald, police officer Roger Dean Craig.
Tell me about it.
So he’s saying Oswald hated Connelly so much but he couldn’t be bothered to track him down in a different situation!! That’s laughable.
CIA/Mossad did it.
As he said. Oswald didn’t have the means to track him down. He went from job to job. He had a undesirable discharge from the Marines, which is as bad as a BCD. So he couldn’t get a government job. He didn’t have a car.
Oswald did not need to track him down. Once he discovered that the parade route in Dallas went right by his place of work, the opportunity was served up to him. That's obvious here.
It’s beyond your comprehension that someone commit a crime of opportunity? How would you feel if you found out that your arch enemy (at least in your mind) would be driving right under your window? And in this scenario you’re a troubled young man with nothing to lose.
The part where the story falls apart for me is where they claim that Oswald was some kind of big fan of JFK. No way does someone who worships the USSR and Cuba feel any kind of love for the man responsible for the Cuban missile crisis.
@@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness I think Oswald was an anarchist in every way, and his path to feeling powerful himself lay in taking out powerful people.
He lost me at, "No compelling evidence of a conspiracy."
Well then you're a gaslit fool to not hear it out. Howard Donehue figured this out in 1977 and in his book mortal error and Colin McLaren in JFK Smoking Gun documentary

Since the magic Bullet Theory is a bad joke and the fatal shot obviously came from the right front. I'd put all my money on that over a Lone Nut with no motive, a misaligned scope, a poor shot that was actually shooting at Connally and somehow hit JFK with two Bull's Eyes.
"He lost me at, "No compelling evidence of a conspiracy.": oh that's easy, it means there's no real believable evidence; there's just a lot of silly stories that get recycled over and over and get believed as though they are true.
"He lost me at, "No compelling evidence of a conspiracy.": Stories and rumours are not evidence, he means.
Absolutely. He forgot there was also absolutely no compelling evidence whatsoever that Oswald even fired a single shot from the Book Depository. Maximum ignorance.
At that point in time no one knew for certain that Oswald killed Kennedy...According to our system, Oswald was innocent UNTIL he was PROVEN guilty. So, really Oswald died an innocent man because he didn't live long enough to even get a trial. So, anyone who thinks it was o.k. to kill Oswald is appointing themselves Judge, jury, and executioner. Oswald was shot and killed for one reason and one reason only,---to silence him. Ruby wasn't looking to do a favor for Jackie Kennedy or the American people. Ruby was ORDERED to take Oswald out at any cost. Again, believe your own eyes in this. There's film of Jack Ruby at the press conference with Oswald at the Dallas Police station. He's seen briefly , but he looks a bit antsy...Ruby was stalking Oswald waiting for the right moment to do what he knew he HAD to do...That moment came when they were transferring Oswald. They really want us to believe that Jack Ruby just happened to be in the area at the precise moment of the transfer , AND that he had unobstructed access to the Dallas police basement. Sorry,I can't believe that and I never will thanks to my common sense...What does YOUR common sense tell you?
The Dallas detectives and the Postal inspector did a fantastic job of connecting the dots in the hours following the assination of JFK. Oswald and Marina were going through a trial separation whereby he would catch a ride to Irving and spend the weekend at the house where Marina was staying (and where Lee was known by the home owner to keep his rifle) after work every Friday. On this occasion he caught a ride on a Thursday, wrapped up his rifle, and before he left for work in the morning left most of his money and his wedding band in a dish for Marina. When his co-worker and car pool guy asked him what he had that was wrapped up, Oswald replied "curtain rods". I would really beg of you to read either RECLAIMING HISTORY by Vincent Bougliosi or CASE CLOSED by Gerald Pozner both are excellent with the Bougliosi book being far superior but at over fifteen hundred pages takes a bit of a commitment to read but it is a great historical accounting.
OSWALD DID NOT KILL ANYONE.
@@laneannmcrae1594 as long as you leave out Officer J.D. Tippit and President John F. Kennedy, you are absolutely correct.
Trump/JFK Jr 2020
Who do you think is REALLY running the show?
We have John Jr. No one can stop Trump. RU Ready?: Trump drops Kennedy. Carolyn is first introduced. That's how this rolls. Trump is going down as folklore.
And... Allan Dulles was just fired by JFK and then magically was included in the Warren Commission, lucky him. And ok, spontaneous!? So Oswald took his rifle to work with him that day and just later spontaneously decided to shoot Connelly... right.
What a bunch of malarkey. I like to challenge him to lock me in the bathroom. I've never seen one with the lock on the outside. He says he supports the Warren Commission and yet he says there were only two shots?
@@thomasrozoff1128 Crazy, still even after all these years they stick to that unbelievable story :(
You mind if I ask you a question how come so many people at like the Abraham's a beautiful don't exist. How could you write a book on the assassination of John F Kennedy and not knowledge the Abraham Zapruder film. I look forward to your response thank you so much.
@@thomasrozoff1128 Thomas,, I think I know a better word to describe his theory than malarkey!! But I don't want to talk ugly on social media. Might offend some thin-skinned liberals.
@@azahrmalik2259 You're right, if it wasn't for the Zapruder film we never would have had proof of his head flying backward!
I lasted 2.51 secs before I paused and went to the comments..and glad I did...just saved me an hour and a quarter..I'm not new to the assassination and all the attendant theories and conspiracies and I dont believe LHO fired a gun that day at any time ,at anyone. But,you have to admit that whoever did the shooting,one person or many,were excellent shots...6 people in the car..one gets his brains blown out,one gets hit by pure chance and 4 are untouched even though there was evidence of front shots as well as the head shot and shots from the rear..a moving target that started to speed up with 6 people in close proximity to each other...these were no fair ground shooters. The 2nd and 3rd shots in quick succession precludes any single shooter but at least 2.
Absolute tripe. No evidence for that whatsoever.
Shot circa Z155 misses
Shot 2 Z223 hits JFK in the back + 4 seconds
Shot 3 Z313 hits JFK in the head + 5 seconds
Total approx 9 seconds.
The second and third shots were not in quick succession, just read the ear witness statements.......the vast majority stated evenly spaced over some 8 to 10 seconds.
The shooting was good, it was doable, but it was not as difficult as you imply.
There were ZERO **eye** witness reports on that day of a frontal shooter. Only a shooter in the TSBD.....nowhere else.
Haha. "You lost me at....2.51"
I hung in longer because I couldn't believe the audacity of this guy!
You've wasted a lot of time believing bullshit.
I'de say you are right my friend . I 9 times out of 10 have that gut feeling and my gut is just all over exactly what you are saying
Same here, but for me it was the uninspired opener, asking people in the audience where they were when Kennedy was shot? OMFG. These old establishment fluffers have too much time on their hands.
Connelly wouldn’t normally carry nearly as much security as JFK. If Connelly was the target, why would you choose a time when he’s with the most guarded man in the country if not the world? There would have been much better opportunities. I think this is a weak argument.
Clearly Kennedy and Kennedy alone was the target ...John Connally was just collateral damage. Nobody attempted to shoot Jackie Kennedy and she was only inches away from her husband . Connally got it too, because he was in the line of fire with the first two or three shots. The final head shot came from the left front and was expertly placed. GAME OVER !
And the idea that Oswald was trying to shoot Connolly by shooting thru Kennedy beggars belief too.
Totally
Oswald did not drive presidents and governors had to come to him or be within walking distance!!!!
and , by the way, that final shot that blew JFK's head off , that was meant for John Connally , too . Absolute claptrap .
I had to speed it up to 1.25 so I could keep up with him lol…. I can’t stay focused when someone drags on and keeps stopping and starting 😵
The judge in that case was the brother of the police chief of Dallas Texas and he helped organize the motorcade to go down through there they had a newspaper article and they broadcast it over the radio his exact location step by step minute by minute
"The judge in that case was the brother of the police chief of Dallas Texas and he helped organize the motorcade to go down through there they had a newspaper article and they broadcast it over the radio": I've never heard anything about Oswald having a radio with him, so I'm not sure what your point is.
It takes a conspiracy theorist to believe the official story. Unbelievable.
Amen!
💯%. The only people who can possibly believe the official story have to be people who have never heard any interviews of the doctors in Dallas or witnesses that were actually there in Dallas. Not to mention the team of people who developed the “Z” film who say 100% that the film that is shown now is not the one they developed and had the stills of the critical moment on boards that were made for the CIA!!
You don't really understand the so-called 'official story', you only know what's been spoon fed to you by CT people like Mark Lane and the conspiracy people. .
I'm with ya on this. I wanna add, ..... I wanna replace the word 'conspiracy' with the word 'coverup.' Often the word 'conspiracy' is associated with 'nut cases.' "Coverup' is associated with criminals.
"It is harder to convince someone they have been fooled than it is to make fools of them in the first place"
"It is harder to convince someone they have been fooled than it is to make fools of them in the first place": And that's why people have been deceived by the grandfather of CTs, Mark Lane, in his truth-breaking novel, Rush to Judgement.
@TestKanal Then you mean the JFK assassination is the hoax, you time-wasting jackass
I watched 11 minutes, then looked up his book, found out what his thesis is, and then realized I had lost 20 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
But he does a very good job of showing that Oswald was the lone assassin.
@@patrickcollins7407 Not really.
@@pauldavies5611 I could a better job I must admit Paul. But then I know more than Jim Reston about the case. He's a bit flakey.
The evidence is overwhelming that Oswald was the lone assassin, most people have just been bamboozled by a cottage industry of myth and fable surrounding this very simple case., I should know as I've worked on it as an academic and for media. Most authors and film makers are not in it for historical truth. I know that from experience.
Try reading Peter Knight's book The Kennedy Assassination 2007. A gem. I own over 400 books on the case, I'd put that one at the top of the pile.
@@patrickcollins7407 Sorry. I don’t buy it. Good luck to you.
I think Reston is wrong, he can't be ruled out.
This case was very simple and should have long been put to rest. Had Oswald lived longer, we may well have had answers.
Nothing that occurred in Dealey Plaza on 22 November 1963 was an accident. Furthermore, what occurred at Bethesda Naval Hospital on 22 November 1963 was no accident. Shame on you Reston.
You're right that it was no accident Kennedy got shot; Oswald obviously was trying to shoot him. He got lucky with Connolly.
Not impressed with this gent's theory at all
What got my attention was his absolute confidence that only 2 shots were fired. (Time mark 21:53). I was hoping someone was going to ask a question regarding that stance, but no one in the audience did. Also, the comment regarding Richard Helms was interesting. (Time mark 1:05:35)
It goes against a torrent of sworn testimony that 3 shots were _heard_ . And closest earwitness described it innumerable times in later interviews after the WC the shots and the bolt action that he heard. You cannot whittle that down to 2. Yes, why didn't anyone ask? The three shots are among the dozen most salient points of the very commission that Reston asseverates as one of the greatest and most admirable commissions he has known.
Sadly, this belief of his consigns the man among the theorists, right or left, that one can classify as outliers in the body of assassination books: people who must needs discount brutal disconfirmatory and _established_ facts for their Rube Goldberg contraption to work.
I believe Clint Hill also said there were 3 shots.
Mrs. Newman says 3 shots
@@brettsfav4 Hill did say there were 3 although he said he only heard 2. The first one and then the head shot. He said he was told later that while he was running towards the car there had been a second shot. He said he didn’t hear it because of the car motor and motorcycle he was running past.
@@-danR theres quite a few important witness who disagree with that of course amos eunis heard 4 shots, brennan heard one shot , but thinks there were two possibly , he is a terrible witness, folks like jean hill heard at least 4 ...there is no great consensus.
A very low percentage of people who disdain the Warren Report have actually read it. The idea that Oswald was gunning for Connoly, not Kennedy, is beyond absurd.
What the Warren Report probably got wrong was the sequence of shots. Governor Connolly and the Secret Service Agents on the scene will swear that the first shot hit Kennedy, the second hit the Governor and the third was the Fatal shot to Kennedy. How the Commission came up with the sequence that they did I wouldn't know other than it was made up of the idiots that we elect to public office.
Interesting that Bugliosi had to defend that report theory of the second shot missing entirely before the Secret Service Agents came out public with their testimony. Incredibly the Warren Report never interviewed the agents.
I've always thought Oswald was the only shooter, almost certainly acting alone and it's a simple case with overwhelming evidence all pointing to Oswald.
Listening to this video while writing leaves me ignoring the remainder. .
Some other jack ass had a theory that Oswald was gunning for Jackie, and got Kennedy by mistake. It's just as absurd.
its pretty poorly written trying to read the eye witness report of ONE witness often means switching between volumes to get to different parts of the story. the memos that the lead investigator wrote about which witnesses were terrible or how to bury difficult passages give a far more interesting picture.
And after you've read the Warren Report, you disdain it even more.
@@icewaterslim7260over whelming evidence that Oswald acted alone? Few people that disagree with the WCR have read it ?
Sir I’ve read the 27 volumes, in fact I own a set. I’ve studied this assassination for the last 35 years and unless you’re totally blinded by the lies that the WC published as fact, I feel sorry for you.
The WC belongs in the Fiction Section in the library because that’s all it is. They had one objective and that was to convince the American people that Oswald acted alone with no help. And the same with Jack Ruby.
I recently held a presentation at my library and referred to it as CONSPIRACY AND COVER UP. Numerous people came up to me and said that they never knew the things that I presented to them. They just believed the WC and moved on.
I’ll tell you one cold hard fact.
There magic bullet is totally impossible.
It never went through two men. Causing seven wounds.
The bullet that hit him in the back was later found inside the presidents body by Dr Humes and Paul O’Conner.
That there was two simultaneous shots that hit the president in the head. One from the back and one from the front. The one from the front struck him just in front of his temple and then blew the right rear of his head out. So much so that doctors at Parkland saw pieces of his cerebrum fa out and land on the table. This could not have been from a rear shot. Please explain to me how a shot from the rear could cause a large exit wound to the right rear of his head.
The throat wound was from the front.
The room lighting in his study clearly outlined the intended victim. He had been sitting at his desk writing a speech.
Suddenly the glass in the window be behind him exploded and the bullet slammed into the wall paneling causing him to instinctively duck. A foot lower and General Walker would have been before his maker.
75 yards away the shooter quickly fled the scene thinking Walker was dead but like the story of his life, the shooter missed, he had failed once again to accomplish his goal.
But wait a minute!! Seven months later the shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald would fire three bullets in seven seconds from 150 yards away hitting a moving target hitting the victim at least twice one of which was a killing head shot.
What a transformational shooter.
The bullet for Walker was deflected by the screen in the window. He actually hit his hair. If not for the screen he would have killed General Walker.
@@NunyaDammeBiznis The bullet deflected by the screen, no way was the bullet deflected by the screen.
The question is not does the Walker shooting show Oswald was a good or poor shot ~ he certainly had improved a fair amount from his Marine Corps days, Marina tells us he'd been practicing with his rifle, both improving his shooting and becoming adept at working the clunky Carcano ~ the question is was it a real attempt or was Oswald an anti-government activist working *with* Walker's Bircher/NeoNazis toward garnering sympathy for Walker. I think the latter is quite possible, and that Oswald was in many ways the original Timothy McVeigh. Doesn't mean he shot JFK, but it does mean he was far from either a communist sympathizer or an agent of the US government.
@@davidmarshall7752 Interesting. I haven't heard that suggestion before. I've gone back and forth about whether LHO was right or left since he posed as both. Maybe the reason is he was neither, just a naive kid with daddy issues; another reason he could have been the perfect patsy.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 Oswald was a naive but sophisticated political actor who wanted a global revolution, and he'd take it any way he could. He came to believe in a kind of Socialist/Fascist approach that would replace the Communist/Capitalist system, which explains why he hung out with Extreme Rightists like DeMohrenschildt & Bannister but also Leftist Unitarians such as Michael & Ruth Paine. We also know beyond question Oswald was involved in the assassination because he fled the Depository, went home and armed himself, and snuck into a theater without paying. That is not the behavior of an innocent man.
Just makes you wonder how many people out there who write a book are completely off base.
Yes and most of them a pro conspiracy, I have around 320 CT books on the JFK case and all but a few are dreadful. This case was hijacked and is so poorly understood...you only have to read the comments here.
As long as there's people out there buying it? I'm guessing a lot of authors
Obama wrote one too.
Just makes you wonder how many people out there who write a book are completely off base." Yes, like the SS agent shot him theory.
Accidental Author : James Reston is either intentionally playing dumb or is dumb.
"You can't awaken a person who is pretending to be asleep".
Marina's command of the English language, back then, was limited.
She was afraid of being deported
back to Russia.
Her testimony was compromised.
Today, she is sure Oswald was innocent.
so what? (sew buttons).
"Marina's command of the English language, back then, was limited.
She was afraid of being deported
back to Russia". That's why she didn't tell the po po after Oswald tried to shoot Walker.
According to the FBI report, Oswald waited until the car turned the corner and then shot through an oak tree to hit JFK in the back with the first shot, and then hit Connolly, and then shot JFK in the head. All by a person that barely qualified in the Corps, using a mil surplus Italian rifle and mil surplus ammo. It could happen, but I wouldn't bet on those odds. The theory that he was actually trying to shoot Connolly is interesting though.
Osawald was rated as a sharp shooter by the Marines you fucktard.
I doubt you got your facts straight about the FBI report. Anyway, the WR said one shot missed, one hit both guys, and one hit K in the head. That was true, wasn't it? So they didn't seem to think it mattered which shot missed. I can see why someone would say that, but still, I reckon it does matter. Nobody said he was shooting thru a tree. Let's not twist things. They speculated that the missed shot ricochet off a tree branch. More like the metal arm of the traffic light.
In his initial test at the Corps shooting range Oswald came quite close to shooting expert. He was given a second test when he was trying to get himself drummed out of the Corps so that he could travel to the U.S.S.R. He did a half ass job and barely shot either marksman or sharpshooter, which ever is lower. Also, remember when he shot JFK He used a 4power scope in a small area with the limo being in his direct line of sight.
Chris Tame, founder of the Libertarian Alliance, sagaciously said, "I am not interested in conspiracy theories. I am interested in the facts of conspiracies."
I was alive when it happened (I'm 63)...and I can't believe the doddering, elderly presentation from these men. Enough to put you to sleep.
They’re trying to not sensationalize it as it’s been sensationalized many times before. Perhaps I can point you to a Hollywood movie that exploits the tragedy instead?
First and last time I want to hear from this, so called, "best selling author"!!
" Never interested in Jack Ruby"? You lost me at that point.....
I find it odd that no tape recorder was available to record the interviews of Oswald.
Very interesting to listen to questions from an auditorium that has no microphones, James. Talk to your publishing agency. I bet more people may buy your books if they can hear what's going on. If your books are as boring as your speech here - hmm... - I doubt it.
I'm sorry I can't finish and listen to the rest of this BS. But I have to go throw up right now. I can't believe that they're still trotting these guys out selling the same old lies
If you "shove aside the conspiracies" you are left with the official WR which is not supported by its own 26 volumes.
you made no point whatsoever. You haven't got a clue what the WR says any way, though.
Total BS
Why is there hardly ever any discussion on the fact that it is simply impossible to establish that Oswald was the shooter.
Watch the video shot from the other side of the limo coming around the corner and passing the Book Depository and in the doorway ....OSWALD is standing next to a Black woman he worked with....if you can slow it down, if not pause it and there is Oswald. People mentioned it to the FBI but they said later it was someone who looked like Oswald but if you stop it at that frame and look ...you can see it was doctored. BTW the testimony by the woman that day was she saw Lee in the lunchroom and asked if was going down to catch the Pres. go by ...he said yes as soon as he got something to drink...then you see the picture and there he is , standing next to her. She was never used to give testimony in front of the Warren Commission...I wonder if she was one of the many witnesses who came forth to testify about what they saw who ACCIDENTLY DIED ! BTW....when you look at the video...why did everyone look and run up to the GRASSY KNOLL???? The KILL shot either came from the GRASSY KNOLL or the OVERPASS . That day a lot of us saw the undoctored version of the Zapruder film before it was DOCTORED ....That stays in my memory to this day...I was only 19!
@@eileenjones3918 Oswald was not out there on the street. Nobody who was there ever said he was and I assume you are referring to Billie Lovelady, who firmly stated he was the man seen there. This was all established many decades ago.
The bystanders did not start looking at the knoll and begin running up it until a couple of minutes after the shooting. Officer Haygood, as his own words and reports firmly establish, pulled his bike up at the base of the hill and ran up it to help secure the area. Once at the top he found nobody. The crowd began assuming he was chasing someone when he ran up the hill and began following him, creating an ensuing wave as more people saw this happen. Once at the top they were all filmed milling aimlessly around an empty lot.
And.... *what* witnesses "came forth to testify about what they saw" and were rubbed out?
@@aaronz7056 I guess you and I didn't see the same video.....Most of us alive today saw the video before the FBI got their hands on it...even I noticed the difference in it when they showed the world that video days later. Oswald was the Patsy and you can believe what you want....but the original video was the truth and that TRUTH CAN'T BE WIPED FROM MEMORIES UNTIL WE ARE ALL DEAD. BTW As soon as the shots were fired . people hit the ground looking up at the Grassy Knoll ...long before the Officer made a move toward it. JFK was set up and SLAUGHTERED like an animal and one of them is burning in Hell as we speak...G.H.W.Bush ! Also ....look at the photo shot from the other side...THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AS THE KILL SHOT IS FIRED FROM THE GRASSY KNOLL.The S.S. dirty little hands were involved in it too. There was also the dent of a bullet hitting the chrome around the front windshield of JFK's car coming from the front. The evidence is there to see......I was 19 at the time but that first video has stuck with me all these years and will til I go to my grave. As far as the witnesses ...seek and ye shall find......a lot of accidental car deaths and some murders.
@@eileenjones3918 Well, I'm glad you're not sounding hysterical and paranoid.
because it is not true - it just means that you are totally clueless as to what the evidence against him is. Plus he was literally seen shooting. Get at least a tiny bit acquainted with the facts.
Connally always said that he was hit by a different shot from the one that hit JFK - he never believed the single bullet theory
Well the Zapruder film proves he was wrong because Connally reacts to the sound of a shot, turns to his right, turns back and is then hit at Z223.........a full 4 seconds after the first missed shot and yet during that time from Z155 to Z200 you can see JFK waving and smiling until he goes behind the sign from view for 0.9 second
Clearly Connally was wrong which he later admitted. His wife thought JFK was hit first, she was wrong, she never saw him.
JC stuck by his wife.
He did accept the SBT. So he should, it is a proven fact. One bullet went through both men.
You can see the jacket lapel flip at Z224. His wound was ovoid and had no bullet wipe (residue) on the wound which basically proves he was hit by a bullet that passed through something else.
JC's arm pit was NOT visible from the rear high locations because JFK was in the way.
@@patrickcollins7407 Z film proves JC was hit long after the throat shot
@@nolslifegren Nonsense.

Do you know about the lapel flip at Z224....?
I take it you do not have the digital Z frames .....otherwise you would not make such a silly comment.
@@patrickcollins7407 Bollocks - watch the film properly
@@nolslifegren
I've watched the film thousands of times. I have also seen the canister in the Archives.
Define "properly"......
Connally is struck by Z224 latest and JFK is smiling and waving until he emerges at Z224, clearly reacting.
The Z film does NOT prove JC was shot "long after" the JFK throat shot.
I suggest a trip to the opticians..?
What you think does not matter, 4 investigations concluded the two victims were hit by the same bullet - which makes logical sense, it fits the evidence, it also supports JC's view that he was hit by the second shot.
This is not difficult.
This is another attempt to sanitize this whole issue. Before the $19 Carcano they found a different rifle I believe was an M-1 then it was replaced by the Carcano allegedly because it tied Oswald to the crime. The other rifle allegedly found was more common but Carcanos were rare. Why would Oswald say he was a patsy? A patsy is one who gets the blame for a crime he did not commit. As far as Jack Rubinstein was concerned why do they leave out Dorothy Kilgallen who tied Ruby to the crime? In any Conspiracy there is a cleanup afterward where a whole lot of people are mysteriously murdered. I think there is a long line of mysterious deaths. The cleanups began with Oswald slain by Ruby then many others including the Zapruders themselves. Sorry but to me this looks like another attempt to sanitize the whole event. The politicians all belong to the Bohemian Grove the Masons the Builderbergs the Jesuits and the Talmudein & the Skull & Bones & the CIA involvement with the Mafia. How many involved with this ended up becoming President including Johnson and Bush. There is the question of motive and am I just to sit by and think this whole damn thing was nothing more than a "fortunate" accident to so many that hated JFK for many reasons? Then there is the question of how the head of JFK moved and how the corpse was doctored. He does not mention the car windshield the glass Cyril Wecht the doctoring of the corpse, the two sightings of Oswald on different sides of town @ the same time. The mysterious resemblance of Officer Tippet to JFK, and the connection of Ruby to Oswald. & Oh MY GOD do not mention how JFK turned down Operation Northwoods.false flag action to get Cuba back or how JFK wanted to dismantle the CIA. Dont mention JFK wanting to restore a more conservative monetary system to the gold standard. Dont mention JFK's dads connection to the Mafia & how they got him elected or Bobby's crackdown of the Mafia. Dont mention the DEATHBED CONFESSION of E. Howard Hunt that Hunt was a Bench Warmer in the assassination plot against JFK. Dont mention the grassy noll or the storm drain. Of course you still need the magic bullet.
No.. the whole scenario is magic!
The word "patsy" was not commonly
understood amongst the public in those days.
His message was for his handlers.
His saviours either laid low,
or were prevented from helping him.
Oswald was an intelligent, well read young man who got in too deep.
(A) The story of the extra rifle is a myth started when one of the cops saw Oswald's rifle and in the heat of the moment misidentified it, later corrected.
(B) In the full clip Oswald is clearly saying he was a patsy in regards to being hassled by the Man because he lived in Russia, not because he thought he was being framed by a sinister coup for assassinating the President of the United States.
(C) Mr. Kilgallen had one over-the-railing exchange with Ruby during a break in the courtroom during his trial, where he said absolutely nothing explosive or dangerous to a conspiracy. Her research was only going to be one chapter of a larger book on famous trials she covered that she wasn't planning on publishing for many months, hardly an urgent expose and she blew no plots in her weekly news column. She didn't die until *twenty months* after her talk with Ruby.
(D) I must have missed the news of the Zapruders being whacked.
(E) The direction a person's head moves after being shot (and it would likely only move a couple of inches anyway) is irrelevant to what direction the bullet came from
(F) The corpse was not doctored. The only reason to do that would be to cover up that there were two shooters. Why would a conspiracy worry about that at all? So what if it's clear there were two shooters? Just say Oswald must have had an unexpected accomplice who got away. How does that foil their plan or threaten them at all? How is doing that more dangerous and risky than messing around with ballistics (requiring approaching and recruiting the ballitics boys on the police department to risk their careers becoming accessories), making a huge spectacle of "stealing" Kennedy's body out of Dallas (requiring approaching and recruiting JFK's own secret service agents to risk their careers becoming accessories) and screwing with the body and the autopsy later (requiring approaching and recruiting the military personnel and doctors at Bethesda to risk their careers becoming accessories)? And, no, neither cops, agents or military people are under any obligation to obey illegal orders to obey crimes.
(G) The "mysterious resemblance" between Tippit and JFK .... are you for real?
(H) Hunt was a cook without credibility.
(I) If the stretcher bullet was planted, first of all it's amazing multiple computer analysis tests over the years have plausibly lined up the victims' injuries on a direct trajectory with Oswald's window, but I await the conspiracy theorist who can explain how these plotters knew, before anybody outside the limo could possibly have known the nature of anybody's injuries, that they had to be hanging around Parkland with a bullet that could be matched to Oswald's rifle, missing the right amount of lead, get in and out of the secured emergency ward without anyone ever seeing them do it, know in advance Connally has been shot at all and that the bullet is not still firmly lodged in his body, know where to plant it where it can be plausibly tied to Connally's stretcher, and know that it won't simply prove to be one bullet too many in evidence that will just blow the whole plot anyway.

Oswald did act alone and there is no evidence of anything otherwise. Read Bugliosi.
yes, and Reston and that other guy should get a room.
Can someone explain to me how Oswald shot President Kennedy with a fatal shot to the President's right side of his head? It is clear in the Zapruder film that President Kennedy received a fatal shot to the right of his head and therefore the shooter must have been to the President's right - on this basis the fatal shot could not have been Oswald. i actually don't think that Oswald was even in the building for the first or second shots - there is a photograph of him on the pavement outside and I believe that Oswald was innocent of this tragic event.
Come on, get serious. look at the Z Film; Kennedy's head is turned a bit to the left. "a photograph of him on the pavement outside": that's someone else named Billy lovelady and your comments are uninformed, lazy and really lame.
My goodness what an incredibly unbelievable story. Surely he has not bothered to listen to the evidence readily available nowadays on line. The idea that Oswald was the only person involved is laughable, leave aside the idea he was the only shooter!

What's the summary, these two are too tedious to listen to.
Bang.............bang .. bang. Almost all witnesses reported at least 3 shots , with hardly a pause between the 2nd and 3rd
Oswald shot JFK in the neck, but the secret service accidentally made the kill shot with a new weapon named the m16 semiautomatic rifle
...with .223 exploding ammunition. No wonder his head was thrown back as this lethal projectile exited through the side of his head.
Look at records on file, LHO facial paraffin test "negative " i.e. fired no rifle 11/22/63, entrance hole in windshield and a dent in it's frame? 2 shots from front?
Get real, LHO proposed shot from rear, couldn't have resulted in brain chunk Mrs. Kennedy retrieved from lid of trunk and gave to Parkland Emergency room Dr.
The whole incident is an unexplained mess, important? records sealed by then President Johnson until 2039? There's a coverup of sorts, needs to be exposed with guilty parties.
@@johnbell6114 you haven't seen the evidence so you don't know
This is a great theory, ballistics never lie, military ammo that Oswald used was designed to go in and out, Kennedy’s head was blown apart which was ammo used by a M16 which was what the secret service agent in the trail car had, apparently when the first shots were fired the agent took off the safety and as the car sped off he accidentally fired his weapon and shot Kennedy.
I have never heard any agency investigation into this theory.
But in that case the gun SS agent Hickey had contained a bullet that had been fired by Oswald's rifle. No, it doesn't seem to make sense.
HAHA Sorry, but this guy is naive and he just called politely called 97 % of the population of earth "stupid"

"James Files" what a joke.
He lauds the Warren Commission's report, but says they ignored marina Oswald's testimony that Connolly was the real target. He says Oswald didn't have the money to travel around Texas to shoot the governor, but Oswald had recently traveled to Mexico City. Very weak presentation.
Important to note that Ruby's case was on appeal at the time of his death - wasn't it? And gee... weren't there a lot of coincidences?
They have a patsy so there is no investigation/court case - where the story will fall apart under examination !
VERY important for the patsy to plead guilty.
A accident my ass. He was about to take their playhouse down so they had to take them out.
Was this recorded in a Secure-Facility for the wealthy deranged?
James Reston jnr has written a book saying that Oswald was aiming for Connally, not JFK.
The lead fragments in the back of JFK's head do not support Reston's theory.
The hole in the floor of the limo does not support Reston's theory.
Oswald's shot-1 ricocheted off the western side of the signal arm supporting the overhead signals, & the remnant slug made a hole in the floor of the limo tween Connally's seat & Mrs Connally's seat (hole seen in photo)(Dec1963), & some lead fragments hit JFK in the back of the head (seen in Xrays).
If Oswald was aiming for JFK's body then the above geometry makes sense.
If Oswald was aiming for Connally's body, & (1) if the ricochet was off the eastern side of the signal arm, then the ricochet would have angled back to the east & .....
(1a) the fragments of lead would have hit JFK on the top of the head (but the Xrays show fragments in the back of the head, not the top).
(1b) In addition the hole in the floor would have been tween JFK & Connally (but the hole in the floor was tween Connally & Mrs Connally).
If Oswald was aiming for Connally's body, & (2) if the ricochet was off the western side of the signal arm, then the ricochet would have angled to the west & .....
(2a) the fragments of lead might have hit Kellerman, in the passenger seat.
(2b) In addition the hole in the floor would have been tween Connally & Kellerman.
Hence, Oswald was aiming for JFK.
As all this was happening, Oswald
was on the first floor, right behind
the crowd on the steps.
Geraldine Reid was talking to him
as the shots were fired.
Caroline Arnold passed Oswald on the
way out the door at 12.25pm.
It's time we moved on to the real killers.

@@atheistaetherist2747"he decided not to fire his last remaining shot in the whole woild (why not?)": Because he had just hit Kennedy in the head and no longer had a target to shoot at. Duh.
They were two motorcades playing before the Dallas Texas one and they were both called off by the secret service because the threat of assassination Miami Florida and Chicago Illinois
"They were two motorcades": I thought you were saying there were 2 motorcades in Dallas that day; like '2 rifles found', '2 Oswalds', '2 shooters'. It's a good thing you clarified that, you might've sounded crazy.
What a waste of time. Good to see that there are less than 1K views as of 9/2019, because this is nonsense. I'm not even going to waste any more time on this.
the hands of kennedy reach the throat cause the entrance comes from the front, the 1st signal of pain that the brain receice is from the entrance, if the entrance would be in the back, he would open is hands backward that show the 1st signal of pain the brain received comes from the back, and would not have reach is throat
the reaction indicate where the brain receive the 1st signal of pain, the entrance
just think a bit
you have zero science.
New American rule no one should be allowed to write a book on JFK if they don't mention the Abraham Zapruder it's clear as day. I guess in order to publish it you cannot put it in the books. 10000 different JFK books twenty thousand of them don't even mention the Abraham Zapruder film.
There were definitely 3 shots. MOST of the witnesses heard 3 shots. There were 3 casings. And it wasn't 5 seconds between the 2nd shot (neck/Connolly) and 3rd (brain.)
a lot of witnesses heard 4 shots, some heard 2 shots some heard 1 shot. and when you look at what witness said they heard what it all gets to be a lot less clear. "most" heard 3 shots isnt proof of anything.
Up to a later interrogation, Oswald hadn't known Gov. Connelly had also been shot
An interview I watched said that Ruby's lawyer Bella had got him a psychologist by the name of dr. West. And doctor West was part of the MC Ultra studies being done by CIA on acid. And I'm Doctor West first visit he said Ruby had a psychotic episode while he was in there with him. This guy he had the evidence in the paperwork to prove it. That's when Ruby started hearing voices and begin to say he could hear the Jews being slaughtered in the jail. I'm sure you can find it on RUclips. But I took the man has a serious person with this facts together
Yes, "Jolly" West.. He was involved with the manipulation of Charles Manson.
@@1953childstar thanks, I checked that out and it looks to be definitely true. I did not know this , you hear a lot of things some not so , but I found that was a eye opening moment.

If you've got any more insight especially on that level I'm all ears or eyes in this case. Well appreciated
Why doesn't this guy just be honest with himself and admit that the idea of making the Kennedy assassination an accidental event just came to him out of the blue , and he thought it might sell books just because it was a different take on the assassintion? By the way, just about everyone that was there that day said there was THREE shots...Were YOU there that day , sir? NO, YOU WERE NOT! ..also, anyone who can miss their target using a telescopic sight should have never been a marine , and shouldn't even own a water pistol.
Some thing I have never understood if Lee Oswald was so eel educated how did he do a job in the army as a radio operator. To me you need to be well educated to do that job.
He was well spoken
Buell Frazier said he was quiet, intelligent,
and learned quick.
Hardly two thirds crazy.
operating a radio is not rocket science.
"Hardly two thirds crazy.": so you can be quiet, intelligent and have serious deep-seated issues and violent tendencies.
Wow. what a waste of time. Oswald wants to kill the governor, so he takes a potshot at a presidential motorcade and hopes to get lucky? then scurries off to a theater because he realizes he took the head off the president by mistake? i gotta write a book covering how the japanese sailed their navy to pearl so they could take out that japanese cook on one of the destroyers. spoiler: they accidentally sunk the US fleet. lmao
Sorry You cannot shoot in just 7 seconds landing 3 shots with a bolt action and by the way JFK was wondering why LBJ wanted to come to so bad .
Your missing point.LBJ had it bad for Jackie and wanted to be wherever she was.He got what he wanted until LHO wrecked it.
I don't think he were an accidental target. I don't think they were aiming at the guy working the hot dog cart.
Hickey's Colt Armalite AR15 01 we now know didn’t have a BURST mode, it had an AUTO mode.
And we can be fairly certain that agent Hickey accidentally fired an auto burst of at least 4 shots, probably 5, possibly 6. Here is my 6-shot scenario & timeline. The AR15 01 probly fired at 400 rpm.
Shot-6 is the last shot, the JFK headshot (at Zapruder frame Z313). The remnant slug exits & cracks the windshield just left of the mirror. Anyhow, whether JFK was hit by Shot-6 or Shot-5 or Shot-4, it was the last shot that hit him - as the AR15 was falling - ie as agent Hickey was falling forward. Hickey was in the process of standing up to turn around to find a target near the TSBD, when the Queen Mary (the followup limo) braked, Hickey falling forward onto O'Donnell sitting in the jumpseat.
Shot-5 puts a dent in the chrome trim above & right of the mirror. Fragments dent the back of the mirror.
Shot-4 goes over the windshield & hits the tarmac of Elm St.
Shot-3 goes over the windshield & hits the concrete curb.
Shot-2 goes over the windshield & hits grass.
Shot-1 goes over the windshield & hits the tarmac of Main St & ricochets onto the curb 23'4" from the pier, near Tague. Tague's left cheek is stung & bloodied by a fragment of lead from Shot-1.
The 52 grain deformed remnant of what is probly the 55 grain slug from shot-1 or one of the later shots is found buried on top of the triple underpass by Lester using a detector in 1974.
@William Murray Did a Secret Service Agent Accidentally Shoot JFK?
By Bonar Menninger
In early 1989, I was working as a business reporter in Washington, D.C., and interviewing a private investigator for a story about his company. At the end of our conversation, he casually mentioned he’d done some research into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Mack wasn’t the only one who volunteered new information about the assassination after Mortal Error was published. Once more, Donahue received a fascinating, if unverified, anecdote that supported his thesis, the details of which were recovered from his papers by screenwriter and researcher Doug Stone in 2015. According to the notes, an enlisted man from the Dallas area named Jason Little called Donahue in 1993 to say his grandfather had witnessed the shooting. Little reported that Donahue’s understanding of the event was correct, save one important detail: The unintentional discharge occurred when Hickey fell forward in the follow-up car, not backward, as Donahue had long believed.
Little said his grandfather claimed he “saw the agent on the back rear seat between the agents on the running board start to stand up. The gun went off as he fell forward. I saw Kennedy’s head explode.”
The grandfather, who had apparently moved to the West Coast, was in ill-health at the time Little made contact and Donahue’s subsequent attempts to connect with him were unsuccessful. Donahue likewise lost contact with Little due to the young man’s active-duty status; ensuing efforts to track him down have proven fruitless. Nonetheless, if true, Little’s report- beyond providing additional confirmation of Donahue’s theory - cast new light on a major question that has long surrounded the assassination. One of the enduring mysteries about the shooting was that literally dozens of witnesses claimed the presidential limo slowed to a dead crawl and perhaps even stopped as shots rang out. Yet the Zapruder film appears to show the motorcade rolling at a constant speed of 11 mph on the fateful journey down Elm Street.
With the advent of the Internet, however, another home movie of the assassination became available for scrutiny and seemed to confirm what many witnesses had reported. In the film taken by Marie Muchmore, the right brake light on the presidential limousine can be seen coming on as the car comes nearly to a full stop the instant before the fatal shot. Because the Secret Service car was following less than five feet behind the limo, driver Sam Kinney would have had to jump hard on the brakes to avoid a collision. This logically would have caused Hickey to pitch forward, not backward, with the rifle in his hands.

@William Murray I havent seen Sherry Feister's stuff. But i believe that there was a 6.0 mm entry hole -- high up on the back right of the head.
Oswald fired 2 shots -- Hickey fired 4 or 5 or 6.
@William Murray In the Nix footage we see Agent Ready on the right front running board pitch forward & actually put his right hand on the bonnet to stop him swinging around & kissing the windshield. I can give u a shortcut to the giff if u want.
Hickey wasnt on a running board -- he was half sitting half standing, on a leather case which was on a larger leather case, on the back left seat.
@William Murray Yes. Probly more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1. But it happened.
@William Murray If 3200 ft/s & 18.3 frames/s then the hollowpoint traveled 170 ft during each frame.
And traveled say over 300 ft tween the end of frame 312 & the start of frame 314.
The hollowpoint went say 6 inches in jfk's skull -- ie it would pass throo 340 skulls in 1 frame.
The small scale violent part of the explosion would of course still be happening when the remnant slug had already exited by some distance.
And if bits of jfk fell say 20 ft away then these bits might potentially be in the air for many frames -- but would probly be invisible in the grainy blurred out of focus frames.
If a bit went up say 6 ft then it would be in the air for 1.2 sec -- which is say 22 frames.
I can see a stream going up at say 80 deg ahead, at Z313 (41 mm), 314 (85 mm), 315 (70 mm). JFK's head is 9 mm dia in these pix on my screen.
I can see a cloud of steam etc at Z313 (16 mm dia), 314 (25 mm up), 315 (30 mm up), 316 (30 mm up), 317 (cloud mostly gone), 318 (gone).
I can see that frames Z313 to Z333 were mostly blurred & out of focus -- by 2 mm in the best, 3 mm & 4 mm & 5 mm & 6 mm of blurring in the worst.
So, the vizible explosion occupied Z313 to say Z317 which is 5 frames.
And i can see that there is no part of the back of the head that explodes in any way at all.
The explosion involves the right-top of the head -- zero back -- & zero front.
I can see a large red peeled back portion of skull hanging from the right-top-front of the head.
All as per the autopsy photos & xrays.
I looked at the youtube -- Target round, Hollow point, full metal jacket V.S Watermelons
283 viewsSep 14, 2020 9517 films 233 subscribers.
The hollow point made a similar sized explosion to Z313.
And it was all over in the blink of an eye.
I was sitting in History Class. Someone tapped on the door. Our History Teacher opened the door. For a few quick minutes, she was talking with the Janitor. She re-entered the room saying"No, no,no. The Janitor must be drunk again!" A very few minutes later a radio broadcast come over the room's speaker. "History" happened that afternoon. (Unforgettable History)
JFK died on my 5th birthday.
I got a plastic dumper truck as well.
I have been saying this for years before this man wrote his book. To me it is so obvious -- John Connolly was the one who signed Oswald's dishonorable discharge.
It is simply not possible to determine if there were only 2 shots and not 3.
The weight of evidence supports 3 shots.
We know shots struck at Z223 and Z313 some 5 seconds apart from the Zapruder film. (18.2 frames per second)
The film shows reactions from a number of people who show concern circa Z155.....Connally especially and also he and Jackie in the Croft photo circa Z160....
However, it is true that more people stated only 2 shots that day than on record now. They changed their minds as the media reported 3 shots.
There is no evidence for more than 3 shots.
Reston could be right, but I doubt it........
The speed of the limo or approx 10mph required a lead of some 2 inches and the bullet would have dropped approx 2 inches due to gravity at 90 yards.....so the head shot would have required a lead of 4 inches above the head.
Connally was partially obstructed from view by JFK during the shooting.
The echo from the location gave off the affect of a third and fourth shot
There was only 2
Anything more than two shots and someone would have identified the shooter
One shot is enough to get attention, more than that will get you noticed!
think there were several shots some of them had silencers they only heard 3 or 4, hole in the windshield of Limo one in the chrome strip at the top of the windshield frame , one shot hit the curb, one bullet Burrowed in grass, Kennedy hit in the back the neck and the head the Gov, shot several places.
No compelling evidence for a conspiracy.... HAHAHA....I'll listen just for the chuckle factor i suppose
All hangs with this question:
- when could Oswald have known if, in what car, where Connolly would be seated.
Still possible, Oswald was aware of an assassination plot and fired warning shots at objects in such fashion, that he assumed, security would immediately secure JFK from shooters nearby
It was once said, Oswald had saved JFK's life, as he had briefed to secret service about a murder plot in Chicago
There could thus be double anger, never having received a letter from JFK or CIA.
In that case, Oswald would not have hesitated in order to get Connolly, to fire right through JFK if a first shot had failed to strike Connolly
Compliments to this vantage point having been elaborated though.
Real pros use indeed mothers finest, meaning, silencers and special amo
The Tippit murder makes no sense, unless there was a conspiracy
Tippit should have stopped and killed the passenger of a certain type of vehicle - it seemed.
But somejow another car was used and Tippit had failed.
However, Tippit should have been killed by the shooter in the car.
That car was some sort of jeep according to a passenger in a CIA- or unmarked plane, that was diverted to Dallas, to pick up two people from that jeep.
One of them looked like Oswald, but much taller, possebly then the other Lee Oswald
Tippit having failed, so still needed to be eliminated.
If Oswald was that good a shooter, Gen Walker had certainly been fatally struck. It must therefore have been a hired job to only frighten Walker, to lay off specific plans.
This shoot but miss job may have been a reward. So when Oswald learned through the same kind of contacts of a possible Dallas plot against JFK, he sort of improvised the same toutine: warning shots
And thus claim a reward, should security have done its job on the first sound of a misfire motor cycle - which did not happen, so he fired 2 more
One young security member was inexperienced and and happened to unintentionally fire while trying to turn in the direction of the sounds made by the warning shots of Oswald
He, the agent, accidentally fired the magic, not yet fatal bullet.
Shortly followed by the maffia hired hitman fired the fatal shot with a silencer and special amo
Meanwhile also Oswald had fired his last bullet aimed at the middle of the windshield
Proud of what he had done and unaware of what really had happened as he was in a different mindset, he made no effort to flee, but takes a coke
As he figures out JFK was hit, he went to his room to get his gun and hide in a public place, knowing they will now suspect him as part of the plot that he intended to warn for
@William Murray Thanks for your great piece of helpful expertise. Pls continue in sharing.
@Sheri Daggett It has already been convincingky established Chicago-Nevado mob organised the gross plannings, Toni Arcado transport hijacking racket with then young James " Files" Sutton.
Google for James Files, Remmington, Grassy and Wim Dankbaar who managed to make Files speak out, or late Peter R de Vries. It fits sublimely with all Gianni Russo (google Russo JFK Oswald Valuetainment / Patrick David) as messenger/money envelopes boy of Frank Costello has told about a meeting where he accidentally happened to run into Oswald as he entered the bathing room (toilet) and was send over on a cruise ship to Europe.
Files used a Remmington XL from behind the picket fence at the Grassy Knowls to release the head shot.
The main reason of us living is to crack codes of what the experienced world is constituted from. For that matter it is useful how things have evilved around this assassination.
The other shooter was Nicoletti assisted by Roselli, from the Texas Building 2nd Floor under renovation.
The same is the case with the gospels (Jesus) puzzle, that was solved in 1976 by Pierre Krijbolder. The same goes withcracking the truths behind bio labs and vaccine research. Oswald was involved as a CIA undercover asset, with the New Orleans bio lab, to develop a cancer pathogen from monkey kidneys.
so stupid. jesus.
if Oswald knew there'd be a plot he might be set up for he could have just gone outside with lots of people around and no one could say he was the shooter. Instead, Oswald was the guy up there shooting. Yes, Oswald knew there was an assassination plot against Kennedy; it was his.
@William Murray There was one rifle found; the Manlicher-Carcano - it was incorrectly identified as a German Mauser. There was ONE rifle. The two rifle story is just more silly foolishness.

Etienne Ah I see 👍🏼
@@Modelo118 Armalite with .223 ammo.
Why does no one ever connect the dots of how LHO could afford financially to take off weeks at a time to go to Mexico City, New Orleans, Russia We are told over and over how destitute Oswald was and could not keep a job then how could he afford to do these things?
He couldn't afford it and kept running out of money. His return ticket from Russia had to be paid by others.
Spoken like a Warren Commission Book Salesman. With the immobilizing shellfish toxin from Umbrellaman's 2 darts, I don't think the back brace would have made much difference. Ask yourself WHY 33rd Degree Mason, Abraham Zapruder's family got millions for the Z film while Orville Nix's family never got one dime.
I always thought that myself that Abraham zapruder was in on it if they're going to kill the president why not make a movie of it so they can sit and watch it with there whiskey and cigars, and bring David ferry and the boys around to get up to whatever hahaha dirt bags. Also Abraham zapruder had vertigo how on earth was he standing up filming where he was always puzzled me
A whole lot of events surrounding Dallas doesn't make sense
@@anthonyreidy8230 Zapruder's secretary Marilyn Sitzman, who talked him into doing the filming, stood next to him and held him steady. While Sitzman stood behind Zapruder and held his coat to steady him, he began filming the presidential motorcade as it turned from Houston Street onto Elm Street in front of the Book Depository.
@@tvfun32 what's your point
Dallas police found a 7.65 Mauser rifle on the 6th floor of the TBD, not a carcano. Less than a minute after the shooting, a policeman found LHO sitting calmly in the cafeteria of the TBD. They found a 45 slug in the grass on elm street, back, left of where the motorcade had passed. The author said the Warren Commission did a great job yet they didn't interview any eye witnesses who contradicted their predetermined conclusion and ignored and/or lied about evidence that contacted their predetermined conclusion. The author did the same.
Noooooo Way...JFK was the Primary Target.....All the Way!
How do you explain the head shot on kennedy? This is a complete waste of time.
Decent chance someone told Connolly don't worry about riding in the same car, these guys don't miss.
Just recently learned that Jackie said LBJ and JFK had a heated, hour-long shouting match the night before at the Ft. Worth hotel about Connally riding in the same car. LBJ did not want his long-time, best friend riding in the car. JFK insisted.
I watched an interview the Connollys gave at their home. When talking about the event, Nelly Connolly repeats what she said to her husband as the shooting was taking place . . “they’re going to kill us all”. I noticed the expression on her face when she realised what she had said, it spoke volumes.
@@FUNKINETIK yeah, it’s telling, but someone could always say he meant they in general. Still, whole official story is garbage.
Sorry, this is one conspiracy I can't go along with. Just the testimony of Jim Tague to the WC, backed up by a policeman who stood next to him, blows it apart. He is right that Oswald had nothing against Kennedy and told that to Captain Fritz. If Oswald wanted to kill Connally and knowing that Kennedy was straight in the firing line, then Oswald picked the wrong moment to start shooting. He could have shot Connally much better before the car turned to the left. It does not add up. Yes, there are stupid conspiracies, but that does not exclude that there was a conspiracy. The KGB decided it was a conspiracy and professional assassins, their report emerged after the fall of the USSR. They did not believe Oswald did it. And later Marina admitted she would have said anything to stay in the US and not get deported - when the dust settled she did not believe Lee did it.
Today, even if we found the truth about what happened, would it even be believed?
Why do you wanna go along with other conspiracies?
@@peterfraser9070 - What does that question mean? I need some context. Do you mean that you are an anti-conspiracist?
This guy described himself as a storyteller, he also mentioned that he spent 10 years teaching ‘creative writing’, says it all really.
He laughs when saying that Ruby failed a lie detector test multiple times, I wonder how he himself would fare being tested during this discussion.
does anyone else find his credibility completely lacking???
All of us, yes
Columbo: There are a couple of loose ends I'd like to tie up, sir. Nothing important you understand. Actually, so far, sir, we don’t have a thing.
Hickey: Well, that’s heartening.
Columbo: Officially, that is.
Hickey: And unofficially?
Columbo: Unofficially, we don’t have anything either.
Hickey: So, when did you first suspect me?
Columbo: As it happens, sir… the first time i read the report.
Hickey: That can’t be possible.
Columbo: Well sir, little things bother me. Like when i was looking for the tests done on your AR15, & the bullets. Especially your sworn witness testimony, sir.
Hickey: There were no tests, & i wasn’t called as a witness.
Columbo: Yes, that's what i mean sir. It's just one of those things that got in my head and kept rolling around in there like a marble
Columbo: My wife was a great fan of JFK sir.
Hickey: Well, tell her it was just rotten luck.
Columbo: Yes sir, u were just doing your job.
Hickey accidentally fires off some rounds and no one sees or hears this? The bullets all disappear??
@@peterfraser9070 U have already read my postings where i explain every slug -- 4 or 5 or 6 ovem.
Re witnesses -- buy Mortal Error & JFK The Smoking Gun.
The only mystery was the spent casings -- but Hickey had deep pockets.
President John F Kennedy was killed when he was struck by a bullet in the right temple fired across the wooden fence on the grassy knoll by James Files. That bullet was fired from a Remington XP-100 chambered in ,221 Fireball. JFK was also struck by a .308 caliber bullet fired by Charles Nicoletti from a mafia owned .30-06 Mauser from a second story office in the Dal-Tex building. Oswald was not one of the shooters; he never fired a shot. No shots were fired from the school book depository. Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit was killed by a member of the CIA/Mafia hit team named Gary (The Raven) Marlowe. Gary knew Tippit from their time on the Bay of Pigs Operation. Gary and J.D. were actually friends, but nobody was supposed to know that Gary and the hit team was in Dallas. So, Gary Marlowe killed his good friend Officer J. D. Tippit. Gary was very disturbed by it and left the team to attend college and live a normal family life. The same group killed Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Mary Jo Kopechne. That's the absolute truth....JOHN 8:32.
There’s having your head in the sand and then there’s this guy.
There’s having your head in the sand and then there’s this guy. who has his head up his as#.
I made it to his second sentence. What a joke!
He said that Oswald took a taxi home to get his side arm.. did anyone take a statement from that driver?
Of course they did, and he was extensively interviewed on television
You really need at least a tiny bit of knowledge about this subject.
Glad I read the comments before wasting my time.
WC offered a variety of motives for Oswald but made no determination. From their report...
"Many factors were undoubtedly involved in Oswald's motivation for the assassination, and the Commission does not believe that it can ascribe to him any one motive or group of motives."
Kennedy was not soft on Cuba either. But I doubt Oswald had any particular love of Kennedy and saw him as a target of opportunity rather than any real deep political motivation. He bought the weapons to use to murder rather thsn any self defence or hunting.
Yarbrough was lamenting the brace contributed to Kennedy’s death rather than protecting Connally.
you buy into oswald did it.no he didnt
@@randallanthony1794 but you have nothing to back that up except a lot of ignorant and silly stories
This guy is fulll of it he must of wrote a book
So he couldn't afford to drive around Texas? He had just came from Mexico City and Russia....he makes a few legitimate points...a very few but mostly ridiculous.
Agree with you.
Upward trajectory shot from the sewer opening by Jack Allen Lawrence.
James Reston is the last person to expect an objective answer from.
Do we really know he was shooting at jfk? Turns out he may have been actually shooting at Jackie. He was in love with jfk and felt if Jackie was out of the way they could be together. Unfortunately he was a bad shot.
It makes sense due to the crowd he hung out with in Shaw and Ferrie.
Nonsense
They should call it the Muddy Waters Institute.
of course, he is speaking at aspen, the think tank for continuity of gov types. what a load of crap.
Makes sense. He shot at the Governor, he used a crappy rifle and was only a marksman. The lowest marksmanship rating. It’s what you get when you barely qualify with your rifle. So he missed and hit the president. But what isn’t here is that they bullet hole in Kennedy’s skull was made by a 22 caliber. The final shot may not have come from Oswald but from the M16 used by Secret Service Agent George Hickey fumbled the weapon or it accidentally fired when he charged it. The M16 at the time had a problem with accidental discharge due to a heavy firing pin. That has been since fixed. It fired and hit Kennedy. Or that’s the theory. Not my theory but it fits. The whole thing was a fiasco.
At the end of the day..a number of people benefited from his death, and made off with a buck or two why would Connally go any di
This man should be called Stretch Armstrong
He is such a great example of everything that became wrong with journalism. He started off as a legitimate journalist, and then got corrupted by the system. By the end of his career the guy was parroting disinformation given to him directly from the CIA. He had no interest in truth. Granted it got him a lot of awards because those are the sort of people that control who gets the awards. But he must’ve felt really dirty.
