When I read Best Evidence I was convinced there was a conspiracy. So don’t think I’m politically correct.
Jim Garrison was the worst of the worst. His entire conspiracy case was built on a single witness who told seven different versions of his story. He failed to win a conviction of course.
There’s much more money to be made selling false conspiracy stories than the plain truth. So almost everything everyone “knows” about the assassination is wrong:
No one saw anyone in the sixth floor “sniper’s nest.” Not true. Witnesses below Oswald heard the shots, the working of a bolt action rifle, and shell casing hitting the floor. Also, a young boy saw a rifle barrel protruding from the window and then withdraw after the killing.
JFK’s head moves backward. It doesn’t, until after it moves forward. A world renowned physicist explained “the jet effect” that caused the misinterpreted movement. Most of the blood and brain matter landed toward the front of the car, not the rear. Furthermore, those who’ve witnessed shootings know that bodies don’t always move in the direction the bullet travels.
Emergency room doctors claimed the wounds were consistent with shots from the front. One doctor, who did not actually attend to JFK in 1963, made that claim years after the fact. Those actually working on the dying president stated that autopsy records showing entry wounds in back and exit wounds in front were consistant with what they observed at the time.
The “Magic Bullet” was pristine. It wasn’t, it was deformed. Connelley’s wound showed the shot came from the rear, and the oblong shape showed it was tumbling when it struck him, consistantwith both men being hit.
No one has ever been able to duplicate Oswald’s marksmanship. Wrong, multiple tests have recreated the events.
The rifle was no good. Actually, the rifle’s muzzle velocity exceeded the M1 Garand, with the scope leading up and slightly to the right, the direction the motorcade was moving. Because of the geometry of the situation, the target remained almost stationary relative to Oswald, only moving away and ever so slightly to the right.
Shall I go on?
“Shall I go on?’
No.
I have heard all of that. As I said, we can pick our authorities.
You are wrong about Garrison having only one witness. That is laughable. Did you happen to read his book? However, he was required by law not to mention Clay Shaw or anything connected with him in the book. I suppose that was what made it fascinating. After Clay Shaw died (?), the coroner said, “Gosh, I didn’t mean to let him be buried without an autopsy!! It won’t happen again.”
E. Howard Hunt made a death bed confession about his involvement, but of course it has been maligned.
And, of course, there is LBJ’s mistress, and there is that woman who was stopped/arrested in Lafayette, Louisiana on Nov. 22, ‘63 who told the police that JFK was to be murdered that day. This happened prior to the fact.That was duly noted, and people say, “Isn’t that a coincidence!!”
