Who Killed JFK

For many Americans, the Kennedy Assassination was a turning point in the American way of life. It was an American tragedy that so deeply affected everyone, the moment you heard the news, where you were and what you were doing, was etched into your memory.

I, however, do not remember where I was. I am told I was in my crib which seemed to make sense since I was only a few months old at the time. Years later, I do remember my mother describing how it seemed as though everything simply stopped for a few days. No one went out, everything was quiet and somber. People simply stayed inside waiting to hear more news about this horrible event.

Then, 2 days later, on November 24th, America was shocked again when Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered on national television, by Jack Ruby, in the basement of the Dallas Police Department, while being transferred from the city to the county jail.

The mood was of total disbelief. How could anything like this possibly happen here in America. The world suddenly became a very scary place, where if the President could be killed, who was protecting the rest of us?

From what my parents tell me, they were genuinely afraid in the days following the assassination. In a way I'm glad I was too young to remember it.

Immediately after the Assassination of President Kennedy, several investigations were started by various Federal and local agencies. In order to control the investigations and insure that only one conclusion was reached, President Lyndon Johnson established the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission consisted of:

Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States, former Governor and attorney general of California, Chair;
Richard B. Russell, Democratic Senator from Georgia and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, former Governor of Georgia, and county attorney in that State;
John Sherman Cooper, Republican Senator from Kentucky, former county and circuit judge in Kentucky, and United States Ambassador to India;
Hale Boggs, Democratic Representative from Louisiana and majority whip in the House of Representatives;
Gerald R. Ford, Republican Representative from Michigan and chairman of the House Republican Conference;
Allen W. Dulles, lawyer and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency;
John J. McCloy, lawyer, former President of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and former United States High Commissioner for Germany.

The conclusion of the Commission's report was that Oswald acted alone.

The 'evidence' supporting this conclusion is haphazardly spread over 888 pages plus 26 volumes of supporting documents. In many cases testimony of eyewitnesses is separated into different volumes, important questions are not asked, and key information and evidence is not pursued. As originally made available to the public, the Commission's report had no index, making it even more difficult to read and understand.

For the official account of the crime also states that:

Lee Harvey Oswald fired 3 shots from a 6th floor window of Schoolbook Depoistory building using a high-powered rifle

One shot missed and injured bystander James Tague, under the triple bypass

One shot was the fatal head wound

One shot casued all other injuries to President Kennedy and Governer Connally

The problem with the Commissions finding is that in order to account for all of the non fatal injuries to Kennedy and all of those to Connally, it only had one bullet to work with. This became known as the 'magc bullet' theory. This name is appropriate for 2 reasons. The alleged bullet was found virtually intact on a stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital, and the path it needed to take to inflict all of the wounds.

Head Shot: The Science Behind the JFK Assassination, seeks to correct all of the bad science and misinformation that has been circulated about the JFK Assassination to provide clear and compelling evidence that the Warren Comission's single gunman theory is not only incorrect, but imipossible.

Not another theory by a conspiracy advocate, the author, physicist and ballistics expert G Paul Chambers is uniquely qualified to apply the laws of physics and motion to accurately recreate the events of November 22, 1963. Using the two most valuable pieces of evidence, the Zapruder film and the acoustic evidence recorded on open police radios, and eyewitness information he confirms:

1. The presence of a second gunman in Dealy Plaza
2. The location of the assassins, and
3. The JFK Assassination was, without a doubt, murder

This rigorously researched book dismantles previously published bad science to reveal a solid body of scientific evidence that is consistent, self-authenticating, verifiable and definitive. For anyone looking for a fresh understanding of one of the tumultous events in American history, Head Shot is a must read.

There are many conspiracy theories regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy on 22 November, 1963 that arose soon after his death and continue to be promoted today. Most put forth a criminal conspiracy involving parties as varied as the CIA, the KGB, the American Mafia, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, former Vice President Richard Nixon, sitting Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, anti-Castro Cuban exile groups, far right extremists, the Federal Reserve, the military-industrial complex, representatives of Big Business, or some combination of those entities and individuals.
