John F Kennedy Conspiracies - Cia

JFK Speech

Since November 22, 1963, there have been over 2,000 books, dozens of television programs and countless movies filled with theory, conjecture and myth as to why John F Kennedy was gunned down in broad daylight on a downtown Dallas street. And still to this day, our questions on who killed JFK are still only answered with conspiracies.

Among the conspiracies, one was put forward that there was more then one gunman. This then argues that ‘The Lone Gunman Theory’ is inaccurate consequently the Warren Commission is unreliable. The lone Gunman Theory outlines that Lee Harvey Oswald had killed Kennedy using the 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and that he was a lone gunman.

Based on the film of the assassination by Abraham Zapruder, known as the Zapruder film, the three shots that were allegedly fired by Oswald were fired within 8.4 seconds of each other. This time frame assumes that the first shot was the one that missed the limousine completely. Not only have tests shown that the first shot made is almost invariably the most accurate one, but this was also the closest shot from Oswald’s alleged position. Supposedly, after this remarkable miss from less than 140 feet from the limousine moving at just over seventeen kilometers per hour, he managed to fire his next two shots in approximately 5.6 seconds, hitting Kennedy with both of the shots. This was made even more far-fetched as it was established that the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle apparently used in the murder, could not be fired faster than 2.3 seconds per shot.

Tests that were attempted, proved that only an outstanding marksman could make those 3 shots. In the first, carried out by the Warren Commission, master-rated riflemen shot at stationary objects from a thirty-foot tower, using the alleged murder weapon. They missed the head and neck areas almost 95% of the time, and reported that the rifle had an odd trigger pull, and the bolt was so difficult to operate that it distorted their aim. A scene was recreated as realistically as possible and Carlos Hathcock, a great sniper in American military history claimed, ‘I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did.’ This was from the man who was credited with a confirmed 93 kills in Vietnam. According to the Warren Commission it states that Lee Harvey Oswald was a “emotionally disturbed” man. As to their conclusion on Oswald, it makes it seem even more improbable that a “emotionally disturbed” man is able to carry out a job that only a remarkable marksman is capable of doing.

One strong piece of evidence of conspiracy is the fact that Kennedy’s head moved back and to the left as he was struck by the fatal bullet. This strongly indicates the bullet came from in front of him, from the grassy knoll,
