"He used a single magic bullet."

No, actually, he didn't.

There were three verified shots fired. One that missed, one that hit the president in the back and exited through his throat, and one that hit the president in the head.


The only thing I am trying to do with this thread is demonstrate the truth about the fatal head shot clearly for those whose minds are open to the truth.
I do not argue for or against any conspiracy theory — only that those who believe a conspiracy existed should at least not twist the truth about the fatal head shot.

It came from the rear and took out pretty much all of the upper right side of the president's head.
A well-meant conspiracy theory will try to make the theory fit the facts, not the other way around.

The single "magic" bullet theory is key to the controversy, not the direction of the head shot, which may never be proven.


You insist there were three "verified" shots fired. One that missed, one that hit the president in the back and exited through his throat, and one that hit the president in the head.



Thus you contradict yourself claiming the "only thing I am trying to do with this thread is demonstrate the truth about the fatal head shot clearly for those whose minds are open to the truth."

You are arguing for the Reports theory & against any conspiracy theory.

— That the fatal head shot came from the rear and took out pretty much all of the upper right side of the president's head is not really an issue, as another shooter from the rear is entirely possible.

The timing of the previous shots, the wounds they made, when compared to the Z film, make it almost impossible for Osawald to have to have been the lone assassin.

Certainly, "a well-meant conspiracy theory will try to make the theory fit the facts, not the other way around." -- And this is exactly what the Commission did back in '64 with their single bullet bull.

--They made themselves into the whackos, and most of us never believed their lone gunman fantasy.

No, actually, I am not. All I've done is state what is known on the record. There are three shots on the record, per photographs, witness testimony, wounds, and the marks of the bullet known to have missed. One missed. One hit the president in the back/neck. One hit him in the head. Notice I have avoided the claim that the bullet that hit Kennedy in the back/neck also hit Connolly. I'll let others argue the point.

The single "magic" bullet theory is key to the controversy, not the direction of the head shot, which may never be proven.

The number and direction of all the shots is key to the whole issue of whether or not there was a conspiracy. How can you say the direction of the head shot "may never be proven" when the proof is right in front of you? I don't argue against a conspiracy, only against basing the argument for a conspiracy on a distortion of the known facts.
