Dear Readership:

As we come up to the 60th anniversary of the shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it is a time to reflect on the charisma of this dedicated American who is generally revered by the majority of both political parties and historians from my readings.

This analysis contains two factual observations which cannot be challenged by the conspiracy theorists and the scientific/forensic communities. 

First, my personal memory of the event was that it was a shock to the nation, totally unexpected.  I was only a senior in high school walking from Spanish to English class about 11:00 AM (Pacific) when a student came running up to me and with the widest of eyes shouted, “President Kennedy has been shot.”  While I was mulling the statement he ran off to inform others. Our school assembly was cancelled and the rest of our classes that day were pretty much discussion groups. The entire weekend the USA seemed to be shut down or at the very least at a standstill, and television was focused on one issue.  As stated in many forums, “Everyone remembers where they were when Kennedy was shot.”

Along with contemporaries, journalists, academics, the Warren Commission and most of the public, the questioners, scheme investigators, and truth-seekers abounded.  I found most of them were guessers without substantiation.

So here’s my take.  When I visited friends in Dallas I went to the museum at the Texas School Book Depository at Dealey Plaza.  I am not claiming to be an expert in ballistics, but in my time in the US Air Force I was the Range Officer (OIC) at Edwards AFB, CA and purport to have been schooled in weaponry more than the average American.  The following evidences cannot be ignored.  A look at the “Oswald acted alone” supporters is warranted and examined below.

  1. Lee Oswald was a right-handed shooter.
  2. The last window to the left facing the street (southeast) was at a 60-70% angle, where it would have been extremely difficult for a right-handed shooter to twist his body and make an accurate shot.
  3. According to the Warren Report, whose authors interviewed Oswald’s Drill Instructor in the US Marines, Oswald was a lousy marksman. 
  4. From that angle Oswald was purported by the Warren Report to have fired three shots, two hitting President Kennedy and one hitting Governor Connelly. These conclusions were based upon scientific evidence (trajectory analysis) and photographic evidence (the Zapruder frame 312 that determined the “downward” slope of the fatal head shot), eyewitness testimony, and firearms expert testimony.

The conclusion was that the President was shot in the back and the back of the head by Oswald.  A search of the National Archives can give the reader more detail.  But this alone does not dispel the assertion that Oswald acted single-handedly. 

Then there is the following testimony by Dr. Robert Nelson McClelland (November 20, 1929 – September 10, 2019). “In 1963, he worked unsuccessfully to save the life of U.S. President John F. Kennedy after he was fatally shot.” (Wikipedia)  What follows is a YouTube presentation of Dr. McClelland’s uncut interview of what he witnessed in the Emergency Room at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, that day.  I am including the entire interview so the reader cannot be led astray by any suggestion of editing; however, the film is an absolute proof that there was a shot in Kennedy’s forehead, which would have been from a direction Oswald could not have possibly accomplished.  This alone from the attending Professor of Surgery destroys any argument that Oswald acted without an accomplice. 

The testimony is 33 minutes and 41 seconds long.  For those who would rather scroll to the main point, I invite you to proceed to the 24-minute point and watch to the end. 

The National Archives record states: “Findings: The Committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The Committee is unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy.”

Truth.

Regards,

James M. Hoover, CACM

Cap, if your evidence is correct, nobody would doubt it. (PARAGRAPH)

you state two shots hit Kennedy and a third hit Connolly. this is not correct. the first shot deflected off a branch, flew across the square, hit a curb sending a small piece of concrete upwards, striking a man in the cheek, making him bleed. (PARAGRAPH)

several black workers were on the floor below Oswald, separated by temporary plywood flooring. at the three click click BOOMS above their heads that scared the hell out of them, white plaster dust snowed down into their large afro haircuts. want to doubt Oswald was there and shooting? (PARAGRAPH)

Oswald was a ‘poor shot’? this seems like more BS. I’ve been to Dealy. I believe I could take his rifle by the barrel and fling it out of the window and hit the painted X on the street. with a scope he couldn’t miss. (PARAGRAPH)

I was in the fifth grade, and I’ve always been curious. from Caro’s four massive volumes of LBJ bio and Posner’s CASE CLOSED, I am satisfied that the information we have is correct. (PARAGRAPH)

on the 50 year anniversary we were treated to a BS documentary claiming a Secret Service agent shot Jack with an AK 47. (PARAGRAPH)

and now you claim it’s time to reopen the tired topic again. Oswald acted alone. all evidence says so; no concocted theory can stand being reverse engineered and placed in the mind of conspirators, it’s all so complex it’s nonsense.

……..and furthermore, Marilyn Monroe acted alone in her final moments on Earth.

Anyone who has knowledge about firearms and their effects on the subject being shot, along with how that subject reacts to the shot, knows Kennedy was not shot from the rear/right side.

If the ‘magic bullet’ was found 100% intact, why was the headshot bullet never found, it should have been found in the front of the limo.

I agree, sir. I read a book in the early 90’s called “High Treason” that had clear autopsy photographs of a bullet hole in his forehead with the back of his head blown off; Jackie was shown to pick up his brain matter on the trunk in the Zapruder film.

We have all ‘six ways from Sunday re the JFK assassination…
Here’s one. JFK told Israel “NO NUKES!” They would have to get over it.
Well, that did it! And they got some French legionnaire’s, some compartmentals from the “company”, a patsy, a body double from Mexico, throw in Nixon and Rubenstein, voila!
AND, they own all the banking out of eastern Europe too, soooo…..

You should check out the old A&E 5 part series “The Men Who Killed Kennedy “

The CIA was one crucial part of the conspiracy. Just like they were in 2008-09 when their Communist and Islamist mentored, Arab American sympathizing and physically appearing (while pretending to be Black), dope-smoking, sexually perverted, criminally disposed, UNDOCUMENTED (forgeries do no not count!), MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE was groomed by them ( CIA) for American and New World Order leadership and/or the presidency (despite being constitutionally INELIGIBLE, refer to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5, and having the previously noted character flaws also rendering him TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED IF NOT EVIL). But, try telling that to US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and recently the 51 Intel officials who signed onto a letter to weaponize politics and influence the 2020 general election in favor of the SECOND worst president in our country’s entire history (I’m talking you, “Big Guy!”). One question before I go (I’m already pretty much deciding to give up!): WHO IF ANYONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HOLD THE CIA (a civilian not government agency) ACCOUNTABLE? WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY ARE THE ROGUE BODY WHICH IS “IN CHARGE OF” OUR SUPPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. If you doubt it, may I recommend that you ask JOHN O BRENNAN, The Muslim Brotherhood member/sympathizer who, to make matters worse, once voted for a COMMUNIST and was Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s advisor, fix-it man (no, I didn’t say “hit-man,” but…), and was appointed CIA DIRECTOR by Obama after Obama unlawfully became president. Just so you will understand how bad the CIA is, they actually make the FBI look like CHOIR BOYS! And, that’s really a sad accomplishment! I sincerely believe that everything that I have just told you (and a lot more) is TRUE and that I have the 1st Amendment RIGHT to say so (at least for a little longer!). AMEN.

It’s BECAUSE Roberts is on the epstein/mossad fight logs to the island.
