Second JFK assassin 'likely'
Herald Sun ^ | 18 May 2007

Posted on 05/18/2007 3:02:33 AM PDT by Aussie Dasher

A NEW analysis of remaining bullet fragments from the 1963 assassination of US president John F Kennedy suggests a second shooter may have been involved.

The findings suggest the prevailing theory that a sole gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, killed Kennedy is wrong, according to a research team that published its findings yesterday.

The researchers "show that evidence used to rule out a second assassin is fundamentally flawed," wrote William Tobin, the main author of the report, published in the latest issue of the Annals of Applied Statistics.

Mr Tobin, a former FBI agent and forensic scientist, teamed with bullet lead analysis expert Cliff Spiegelman of Texas A & M University to re-examine the five bullet fragments recovered after Kennedy's assassination, using new scientific advances.

The findings countered testimony to the House Select Committee on Assassinations hearing in 1978 in which Dr Vincent Guinn said the bullet fragments recovered signalled that two bullets of an unusual kind of ammunition were used.

The Texas Book Depository in the only building that stands in the plaza. On its left is the freeway. On its right, the beginning of downtown Dallas. The US security guards want us to believe they didn't check the ONLY building that looks suspect in the area. No security service would miss it. Except those which are ordered to.

Maybe it was two groups of people who were unaware of each other. Some communist nut working from the book depository and and a group of organized crime members working from the train yards. That’s why it might not make any sense.

I just played the theme song backwards on my record player. Call me crazy, but here's what I heard:

Someone just called my phone and asked me if I knew your street address.

I'm not trying to be alarmist, but the crazy television suggests you dickybird the cracker weasels.

...Yet then I have to believe that in an incredibly short time (7 seconds) Oswald missed his 1st two shots, but scored on the last very hurried one. It does smell.

The last one was the MAGIC bullet!

The Mannlicher-Carcano was such a fine weapon that, at the time, it could be purchased in a Burlington, VT Woolworth’s for under $20.

Hey look the frame of the video. 1/3 of the right part of the face is butchered by the final bullet. CHECK OUT IN THE MOVIE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-cri43ttTo When JFK was brought to Parkland hospital, he had no right eyes anymore, and the hole in his head went from the neck to forehead, including the cheek. The autopsy photograph has no match with the actual frames of the Zapruder's film. The autopsy photographs have actually no match BETWEEN THEM : For example : a close view of JFK's head And a close view of JFK head : Supposedly same head. Different wounds.

See, my wife said that I was going overboard when I bought the lead-reinforced Brinks truck and moved our family into a heavily fortified bunker, sixty floors below ground level, and stocked with 17 years of food and water. I'm going into our titanium vault (bedroom) to wake her up and see is she still thinks I'm "paranoid".

Hey I’m a support of Bush. But I didn’t purchase a subscription to the US government.

LBJ and the US establishment did erase JFK from earth because of his foreign policy that endangered the US.

If you go to Dallas and you study the case, you will by yourself.

BTW, explain me this strange behavior of Secret servoice bodyguards :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFpPjjKdUds

Have you ever seen bodyguards abandonning their client in the middle of a public appearance ?

****Take the rifle Oswald used, and try to reproduce the shots in the time frame,****

I saw Oswald's brother ov tv once and he got off 4 or 5 shots in the alloted time with a similar rifle. He believes that his brother was the only assassin.

I remember department stores that used to sell good surplus rifles at very fair prices. But with all of the gun control laws that have been passed, I think most of them have given up the trade. (For that matter, I think most of them have given up all trade, having gone out of business long ago.)

Actually, I seem to remember that the price on the M-C was under $10, but this was 40+yrs. ago and my memory ain’t what it used to be. I used the $20 figure to CMA in the cause of accuracy. I do, however, remember that the rifles were placed butt down in a wire mesh cylinder on the floor,(like the ones they use for kid’s plastic balls) at the end of the toy counter.

That would be 2013. Unfortunately, the Mayan calendar shows the world ending in 2012, so I guess we'll never find out.

So the Mayans are in on it, too.
