A somewhat unexpected twist has emerged in the JFK assassination saga, which blows a hole in a critical government narrative surrounding his death.
On Saturday, 88-year-old Paul Landis gave an exclusive interview with The New York Times where he shared he shared his revelations regarding what happened November 22, 1963, in Dallas — the day JFK was allegedly assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. Landis that year was a Secret Service agent assigned to First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s protective detail, as the Daily Mail notes.
Landis’s revelations regarding what happened 60 years ago lay waste to one critical claim by the Warren Commission and raises questions regarding whether there was a second shooter besides Oswald.
The narrative advanced by the Warren Commission is that one of the bullets fired at the president’s limousine struck not only Kennedy in the back but also Texas Governor John B. Connally Jr. in the back, chest, wrist, and thigh. Connally was riding next to Kennedy at the time.
This has been called the “magic bullet” theory to millions of skeptics because it seemingly defies the law of common sense and physics.
Landis told the Times that after Kennedy was shot, he was the one who retrieved the so-called “magic bullet” and explained the chaotic scene that gave him the opportunity.

The magic bullet theory is now dead. This preposterous construction has served as the mainstay of the theory that a single shooter murdered President Kennedy since the Warren Commission advanced it 60 years ago under the direction of the former CIA Director Allen Dulles whom my…— Robert F.

I have been to the site and to the museum in the TSBD, for Oswald to shoot, as JFK was approaching him, he would have to place himself on the right side of the window, exposing himself fully. By being on the left side the wall would obscure him from view.
The most interesting aspects of his comments was he was never interviewed about that day. Seems to me like that would be an almost first step in any shooting investigation: ask the key witnesses.
Didn’t know that there had been a blame Russia angle to this. They are quite the scapegoat for the political classes in this country.
LBJ felt the need to duck bc he was in the third car behind JFK and he expected some shooting shortly. There is no doubt in my mind of his connection to what happened in Dallas, either through advance notice or active involvement.
A lot of eyewitnesses were never interviewed by the Warren Commission, including a lady who was at home across the street from where JD Tippitt was murdered. She adamantly stood by her claim that two men shot Tippitt, neither of whom was Oswald and one of whom looked an awful lot like Jack Ruby.
The entire debate here is whether or not Oswald acted alone. If he did not act alone, then it opens up a universe of potential conspiracy scenarios.
Oswald being a "patsy" AND it being a conspiracy are not at all mutually exclusive. Indeed, Oswald claiming he was a patsy AND the fact he was killed and silenced immediately only provides more circumstantial evidence that there was some range of assistance and coordination.
As to the shooting position. Houston Street went directly towards his perch regardless of which side he chose to shoot from. If the goal/mission was to kill the President, you will choose the highest probability shot. Shooting at JFK on Houston St. was by FAR the highest probability shot. Shooting at him while he was turning left, and speeding up to get on an expressway is NOT even close.
Jack Ruby died January 3, 1967. Nearly four years
after the Kennedy assassination.
The truth has been out for years. Zapruder film doctored by Kodak to remove 1.5 second limousine stop. Fourth shot caught on police audio recording. Train yard tower witness several dress alike characters on overpass. Explains the kill shot from the front. “The people” lost control of America that day.
The FIRST shot hit the pavement to the side of the limo. A total miss. A piece of the pavement hit a person standing on the overpass.
“His entire body falls backward and to the left.”
Keep in mind he was wearing his back brace that day too. So, the back brace kept him somewhat upright.
Booth on the tv show Bones managed it. :)
This is another problem in the huge pile of JFK assassination lies. It's been shown that LBJ started ducking BEFORE the first shot was fired!
Of course that alone doesn't PROVE that LBJ was one of the conspirators but it suggests he was. LBJ and corrupt FBI Dir J Edgar Hoover were the two needed to pull off this scam called the JFK assassination.
LBJ got ALL of the Dallas evidence pulled and given to the FBI where they forged, made up, destroyed.... evidence as necessary to tell any lie that needed to be told.
It's obvious using other evidence that LBJ and Hoover were the two key players in the assassination and especially the cover up.
Or it could be that at age 88 he's not as scared of shooting himself in the back of the head with a shotgun 3 times as he was 60 years ago.
If Oswald was a patsy, that then confirms a conspiracy in fact existed.
Personally, I have gone from being a believer that Oswald was in fact a patsy, to being 95% convinced he did in fact act alone.
I have never believed LBJ was responsible.
The most likely group, in my mind, was CIA agents or contract agents acting outside of the agency and doing so for revenge over the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
The cover up, orchestrated by the CIA, was done because they knew that if the guys who did it were in fact caught, the CIA would be assumed to be guilty. I doubt it if anyone in the CIA shed any tears over the assassination, but they may not have actively participated, as an organization (as opposed to individuals within the agency).
What many folks don’t know about the “magic bullet” theory was recently released in JFK file declassification.
One member of the Warren Commission moved the location of the “magic bullet” in their own handwriting.
The member of the Warren Commission was later rewarded for his treason by being named President of the United States.
His name....
Gerald Ford.
If Oswald acted alone, how could the CIA be involved?
>> Ballistics experts and marksmen replayed the exact scenario of the assassination including a tower for height and angles using a vehicle moving at the exact speed of the Kennedy limo all done off-site, using a bolt-action Mannlicher-Carcano M-38 rifle, the exact rifle found in the Texas School Book Depository. Sharpshooters were repeatedly UNABLE to fire three shots in the allotted time sequence which occurred in Dealey Plaza that day. Conclusion: It was impossible for Oswald to have made all three shots by himself. Sorry to bust your bubble. <<
Because they were all basing their shooting on communist-invented data. They were trying to take three shots in the space of one shot and two echoes, based on the Zapruder film’s reversed frames.
One thing we know for sure is that Lee Harvey Oswald was in repeated contact with the KGB. How this gets “meh” from all the conspiracy theorists is astonishing to me. Was LBJ tipped off by the KGB? Well, I need more proof than the claims of a lost internet article, but it’s easier to believe than the notion that the KGB didn’t do it.
“Watching Biden makes me skeptical of these stories people come up with in their last years.”
Joe is a charitable person to use as an example, because he is now it has always been a pathological liar, probably to the point where he doesn’t know which of his stories are true and which are false. On the other hand, many texts regarding changes people undergo as they age indicate that sometimes, as a person enters his last years and senility, his clearest recollections are of particularly notable things that happened in his childhood, and they are the ones on which he is most accurate. I am partly an example, at age 80 I particularly remembered a physiology text I read in my freshman year of college, which pointed out that detail.
