THE FBI was passed information suggesting a US cop was JFK’s real assassin, according to recently released files, feeding fears of further conspiracy theories. The internal document dated five months after the US president’s death details intelligence received from an informant. JFK was shot as he was driven through the streets of Dallas, Texas. It claims officer JD Tippit – who was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald around 45 minutes after Kennedy’s assassination – was the real trigger man, not Oswald. Oswald was fingered for the killing but was himself shot dead by mafia-linked nightclub owner Jack Ruby while in police custody.

In the olden days in Africa, K. Bell killed an obscene number of elephants using nothing more than a 6.5 X 54 Mannlicher and a 7mm Mauser, both with long, heavy full metal jacketed bullets at moderate velocity. Very deep penetration!
There are several witnesses to JD Tippitt’s murder.
This is the only believable witness https://youtu.be/zTjq7jz8b5g
The other “witnesses” are obviously lying.
Combine that with the gas station attendant (who corroborated Clemson’s observations) and you have proof. The gas station attendant subsequently changed his tune after he was shot (but survived).
If you are a hunter, and have directed large game after shooting it, and seen the results, this is not right. NOTHING strikes bone and has a pristine nose.
plus..Tippet had a B.O.T.L ....hence, when he saw Oswald, immediately stopped him.
Not if the bullet was tumbling when it struck bone, which would deform the bullet as shown in the photo.
Get a copy of Lincoln and Kennedy by Dr John Lattimer.
This is not the skull shot. Not sure if it hit bone along the way, but it hit the fleshy part of the upper back-neck first.
And people don’t generally hunt with FMJ.
Later spitzer fmj, like modern 5.56 and 7.62, will typically yaw when it hits at short range, and come apart at the cannelure, causing devastating wounds.
Old school round nose FMJ, like the Carcano round, and 30-03 (precursor to the spitzer 30-06), and old Mauser rounds, were noted for just plowing straight through.
Americans hit by old-style 7mm round nose Mauser in the Spanish American war typically would recover quickly from lung shots because the bullets left a small hole in, and a small hole out.
I don’t care about what you have read in books - i KNOW that when a projective FMJ or not hits bone, bone shatters and bullet is deformed. Now if you believe the Warren Commission, the unmarred (but squishy) bullet had to do a lot of work, given the accounting for the others, and it dropped out on a stretcher. RIIIIIGHHHHT
If Carlos Marcello was behind the assassination, this would align perfectly with his motto: “Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” LHO, you’re next.
There will never be an end to the conspiracy theories. The kinda proves it. Oswald shot Kennedy period.
B$. They fired cases of bullets into sheep, hogs and cadavers, none came out like that.
Take a look at some YouTube gell block videos and see how many slugs come out like that, answer none. They needed that slug for two things, ballistics and single bullet theory. The fact it was there proves conspiracy.
You might want to compare rounds fired for ballistics test to this round and you will see exactly the same deformation of the base.
1) bullet nose, no deformation
2) bullet conveniently rolled on to stretcher
3) FBI Vegas Fake Story: lone shooter, but died
To believe Oswald murderer makes one foolish and incredibly stupid.
Tippet was eating lunch at Austin’s BBQ in Oak Cliff (where he had moonlighted for 3 years), about 5 miles from downtown Dallas. He was contacted by DPD and told to go patrol the Jefferson Ave. area, as it was thought that Oswald had taken a cab to that area of Oak Cliff.
He stopped at the Top Ten Records store on Jefferson and called to indicate he had arrived, then rushed out to his car.
He spotted Oswald on Tenth St., one block N of Jefferson and began asking him questions. That’s when he was shot.
Tippet could not possibly have been JFK’s shooter.
I worked in Law Enforcement for 15 years, and I get it. Especially after a high profile event.
