Secret Service agent who was with JFK on day of his assassination breaks silence with claim that blows up the 'magic bullet' theory and suggests there WAS more than one shooter

A former Secret Service agent who was present at President John F. Kennedy's assassination has come forward with a new claim that would debunk the 'magic bullet' theory and raises questions about whether there was a second shooter.

Paul Landis, 88, broke his silence on Saturday, nearly 60 years after Kennedy was shot dead in a motorcade passing through Dallas, to share his bombshell recollection with the New York Times.

Landis, who in 1963 was a young Secret Service agent assigned to protect First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy, said that in the chaos following the shooting, he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on the top of the back seat of the open limousine.

It was just behind where Kennedy was sitting when he was killed, he says. Landis says he took the projectile and placed it on the president's hospital stretcher to preserve it for the autopsy investigators.

That bullet, the first piece of evidence logged in the murder investigation, has for six decades been said to have been found on the stretcher of Texas Governor John Connally, and was hypothesized to have fallen free from a wound to his thigh.

Landis thinks the bullet may have rolled onto Connally's stretcher from Kennedy's while they were next to each other.

It has long been known as the 'magic bullet' -- the bullet that supposedly passed through Kennedy's neck from the rear, then entered Connally's right shoulder, struck his rib, exited under his right nipple, passed through his right wrist and hit his left thigh.

But Landis' assertion that it had actually exited Kennedy in his Cadillac could lay waste to the magic bullet theory - and bolster the claim that Lee Harvey Oswald did not operate alone on the day of the murder.

We saw a documentary last week that said the CIA embedded one of their own as a member of the Warren Commission. (The guy’s name was given, but I don’t recall it now.) They had to make sure things didn’t get out of hand and wanted to ensure misdirection away from the truth.

I’d suggest a third of the nation see conspiracy theory news daily, and generally don’t believe the story told (lot different than 1963).

Give me a daily newspaper and a red marker....I will circle at least three stories daily of local, state or national interest where the ‘story’ doesn’t truly fit, or has problems. We’ve all gotten use to fraudulent stories and fake characters.

Did she say that or was it said on her behalf?
The people that killed JFK would not have been above telling her in the middle of the night that she really had no protection from them.

JFK had taken on the Deep State and had threatened to break up the CIA after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Ironic that Dulles, who he fired as head of the CIA was on the Warren Commission.

The final straw was that JFK reamed out the CIA for assinating Diem, the president of Vietnam and issued orders to withdraw our troops. 21 days later he was assassinated, and the withdrawal orders destroyed.

I fully expect they will try to JFK Trump.

What I read was that she (understandably) freaked out and exclaimed that she was retrieving his brains 🧠 (parts of it).

You notice she doesn’t embrace him or go for aid but immediately attempts to crawl out on the trunk lid.

The first question of a crime investigation is;

Who benefits?

When we thought the alphabet agencies were upright and lawful, we believed that explanation. Now, nothing about the alphabet agencies can be believed.

Maybe she was trying to retrieve brain matter. Maybe she was trying to escape one of JFK’s killers.
Who knows anymore?

We wait for a time when everything will be revealed and nothing will be hidden from us.

Allen Dulles was formerly head of the CIA, fired by JFK after the Bay of Pigs, and was on the Warren Commission. They were skilled at diverting the truth; thus, LBJ always told them to be careful of the Russian connection (where have we heard that before?) bc it might start a nuclear war. The real connection was to LBJ and his cohorts in the Deep State, period.

I believe next to nothing anymore

COVID-19(84) among other things, almost totally destroyed my trust.

Including 2008.

“Ironic that Dulles, who he fired as head of the CIA was on the Warren Commission.”

Not ironic at all. As an infiltrator, he had a purpose.

There were two named “Dulles” at high levels when all of this was going on. Brothers, I think. They were making decisions and taking actions without JFK’s knowledge — running things behind his back. IIRC, JFK fired both of them.

I dunno. Half the country bought the RussiaGate story and most still believe it.

It was a Lincoln that was the vehicle JFK was riding in when assassinated.

And the coach that took Lincoln to the theater was driven by a Kennedy.

Nah, I just made that up, but there is a list that someone compiled of all the JFK/Lincoln coincidences floating around the inter web.

I thought that Jackie was trying to help the SS Agent who was climbing over the trunk, into the car, presumably to help with JFK.
