New Kennedy Assassination Tapes Revealed
abcnews.go.com ^ | 15 Nov 2011 | Jack Cloherty

Nearly 48 years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fresh audio evidence from that fateful day has surfaced. The evidence comes in the form of the original reel-to-reel Air Force One radio recording, containing conversations between officials on the plane, the White House situation room, and others. The original tape was long thought to be lost or destroyed.

The tape contains never-before-heard conversations between the presidential aircraft and the White House and immediately after the assassination of President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.

It was held privately for years by President Kennedy’s military aide at the time, Chester Clifton. Clifton was in the Dallas motorcade when Kennedy was shot and killed, and on Air Force One and involved in the radio discussions. The tape was obtained by the Raab Collection of Philadelphia.

According to Nathan Raab, the Vice President of the collection, the tape is the raw, unedited version of the edited audio tape from Air Force One that is in the National Archive. The Raab Collection says the raw tape “is about 30 minutes longer than the edited version, predates it by years, and contains incidents and code names never before heard by the American public.”

“That this tape even exists will change the way we view this great event in history,” said Raab. “It took decades to analyze the shorter, newer version and it will take years to do the same here. This provides a concise ‘tale of the tapes’ and offers great insight into ongoing research.”

The tape contains a dramatic first-hand report of the President’s assassination, and the wounding of then-Texas Governor John Connolly. ..

I have read Rush to Judgment, Best Evidence, Conspiracy of One, Case Closed, Crossfire, Six Seconds in Dallas, The Killing of a President, High Treason, Legend: The Secret World of Lee Harvey Oswald, and who knows how many more I've forgotten over the years. I've attended lectures and watched the Men Who Killed Kennedy, Executive Action, and other films and videos.

You shouldn't have to read 271 books to realize that all the conspiracy books are all rehashing the same old lies, rumors, and misrepresentations.

I repeat, there is ZERO evidence that anyone other than Oswald did the deed.

Sad, so very sad that in all the exposure to the truth, you fail to see it.

From Wiki:
Oswald was born in New Orleans on October 18, 1939,[1] to Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Sr. (New Orleans, Louisiana, March 4, 1896 – New Orleans, August 19, 1939) and Marguerite Frances Claverie (New Orleans, Louisiana, July 19, 1907 – Fort Worth, Texas, January 17, 1981). Oswald had two older siblings – brother Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Jr. and half-brother John Edward Pic.

Only in Texas can a United States President be killed, followed by the murder of the assassin, while in police custody.

...There is zero, and I mean zero, evidence

...Really? I've been to Dallas and seen the "Snipers Nest" and it's really accurate because Oswald's not in it.

Yeah I’ve been there too. Of course JFK wasn’t in the Plaza either, so he never got shot!

I gave up long ago arguing with those that have read “several” books on the JFK assassination. I have read over 273 books on the subject and my conclusion is that Oswald was not the shooter. Just my educated opinion.

Yet you cannot list a single fact that leads you to that conclusion.

The forward motion of the projectile was forceful enough to cause the President's head to bounce back, giving the impression the shot came from in front of the motorcade. Impact on the Governor was nearly simultaneous, but with less force.

Fact one: Kennedy was hit in the lower posterior neck with a round from Oswalds weapon. His arms involuntarily raising from the nerve damage and muscle spasm. He was also moving foreward from the impact and energy transfer from Oswalts bullet. (Shot from behind)

Fact two: Kennedy was hit in the right front forehead over the right eye by another shot from his right front (a second shooter) and fell back into Jackies lap (Shot from the front) You can see the blood spray from the hit in his forehead. Bullets do not make u turns. This can be clearly seen on the Zebruder (sp) film.
