The above pictures were taken less than a minute after the last shot. A group of excited people are seen running up the grassy knoll to an area from which they obviously felt something had happened. There is no way to get from that corner to the parkinglot behind it without climbing the fence, so this is clear evidence they were sure a shot had been fire from there.

Malcolm Wallace fingerprint (Wallace link with LBJ)
The fingerprint, that is ONE single fingerprint, of a known criminal with the name Malcolm “Mac” Wallace was found on a box in the 'sniper’s nest'. The problem with this fingerprint evidence is that it suggests that Malcolm Wallace was at least one of the gunmen involved in the assassination. This evidence has been used to suggest that Lyndon Johnson was involved in the conspiracy to kill JFK.
It has been pointed out that on 22nd October, 1951, Wallace shot John Kinser dead, the owner of a golf course in Austin, Tx.
Wallace and Kinser were both having an affair with LBJ's sister, Josefa Johnson.
According to author Barr McClellan, Kinser was blackmailing LBJ. McClellan claims the killing was organized by Ed Clark on behalf of LBJ.
Billie Sol Estes, friend of LBJ, has also claimed that LBJ was involved in the death of Kinser.
At his trial in February, 1952, Wallace was found guilty of murder. Eleven of the jurors were for the death penalty.
The twelfth argued for life imprisonment. The judge overruled the jury and announced a sentence of five years imprisonment.
He suspended the sentence and Wallace was freed. Someone with lots of clout was obviously helping Wallace.
It is indeed possible that LBJ was the one putting pressure on the judge to release Wallace.
According to McClellan, LBJ arranged for Wallace to obtain a job with the Luscombe Aircraft Corp.
This became part of Ling-Tempco-Vought ( LTV ), a conglomerate funded by Clark's clients in the oil industry. The problem with this is that if LBJ wanted to organize the assassination of JFK, the last person he would have recruited would have been Mac Wallace.
Here was a convicted killer who already had close links with LBJ.
Therefore, I believe that the Wallace fingerprint might have been planted at the scene in order to blackmail LBJ into covering up the assassination. BUT, Wallace's fingerprint WAS found there, and there is no way Oswald would have had access to it in order to plant it, with the intention of clearing himself.
Also think of this: if LBJ was behind the assassination, the political motive would have been too strong to have stayed unnoticed.
Oliver Stone's movie suggested that Kennedy’s death was a coup d’etat, and the direct result of it was that the war in Vietnam escalating to a new level under the new president. Former Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who was also a former CIA black operator, apparently told this to New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison in a series of letters. (this is the famous scene between Garrison and Col. X at the Lincoln monument)
He suggested the assassination showed all the characteristics of a well planned 'black-op', only this one was on domestic soil.
This time it was their own president, and not someone else’s. But how does one hide such a plot? How do you know who to trust?
The more people are involved, the more chance you have of a leak. Was it a political assassination? I doubt it.
But someone with access to police records planted Wallace’s print. And that wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald.
​
​
No prints found on the rifle until AFTER Oswald's death!
Every expert assassin who leaves the murder weapon behind at the scene of the crime, would have either had time to wipe down the weapon, or would have handled it with gloves in order not to leave any prints in the first place. Oswald wearing gloves when he normally doesn’t, would have looked suspicious. Therefore if he HAD fired any shots with that rifle that day, he would have left fresh prints on it.
But … if this was really his rifle to begin with, it would have had plenty of prints on it anyway. Instead NO prints were found on it.
Not of Oswald, not of anyone else. Not one. Not until after Oswald’s death. That’s when forensic detectives discovered a partial palm print on the barrel, which was covered by the stock. This print couldn’t be found until the rifle was disassembled for closer inspection by the FBI in Washington on the 29th of November. Yeah, but only after Oswald was dead and someone had the time to transfer the print from Oswald to the rifle. Paul Groody, Oswald's mortician, explains:
Oswald's constant denial of involvement - (but some say he said "but now people will know who I am")
He wanted his name to be known. He wanted to be someone.
So presumably he was so proud of killing the President of the United States that he shouted out loud “I did it! I killed the President!!”.
But he didn't. He said no such thing.
If he was so proud of killing JFK, why deny it?? And that's the thing: he constantly denied doing it.
He constantly denied firing any gun that day. But he never fully denied knowing about the plan to assassinate Kennedy.
He sort of clammed up about it. “I don’t know anything about that.”, he’d just say. Or “I emphatically deny these charges.”
And then of course his most famous words of all “I’m just a patsy!”. Now I’m not an American, and I have no complete knowledge of Southern sayings, but to me when someone says “I’m just a patsy!”, it means “I’m being framed for something I didn’t do.”
This of course means either someone has reason to set you up, which links you to the real perpetrator, or you were involved with the whole thing, on whatever scale, and were chosen to take the fall so the rest could get away.
In any case, what Mr. Oswald did with his exclamation “I’m just a patsy”, is give a clear indication that he was part of it and there were others involved. He basically told everyone who heard him say it that there was a conspiracy behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
But it still doesn't mean he pulled the trigger.
Single bullet theory (Connally states he was hit by a separate bullet - and it was still in his leg)
On the day of the assassination, Dr. Robert R. Shaw told the press that Gov. John Connally had undergone surgery and looked to come out of it well. He stated, when being asked by a reporter, that the bullet was still in the Governor’s thigh.
He didn’t say a fragment. He said bullet. What this means is plain and simple: CE-399 is a fraud. It has always been a fraud, and the Warren Commission's Report is based on that fraud. This also means that if CE-399 is a fraud, so is the single bullet theory, and thus the lone gunman theory, as defended by Arlen Specter. This is very important evidence, and it was known on that fateful day!
Did the press not put two and two together, or were they told to not interfere with the investigation?
Because all the reporters who were present at the interview of Dr. Shaw in Parkland Hospital that day, had heard him say the bullet was still in the leg, and as soon as the single bullet theory was explained in the Warren Report when it was released in late September of 1964, with the bullet (CE-399) as evidence of that, they could have very easily exposed the truth in their respective forms of newscasting.
Connally even got buried with that bullet still in him, and the FBI asked the Connally family permission to exhume the body to retrieve the fragments. That permission was denied. They really wanted that last bit of evidence!
Even in 1993, the year Connally passed away.
​
Warren Commission statement of Dr. Robert Shaw (611-612-613 – Vol. 4, page 101 + Vol. 6 page 83)
[ he was never sure that all of Connally’s wounds were created by one bullet, but he is on record stating that it could have been possible ]
​
Dr. SHAW - “All right. As far as the wounds of the chest are concerned, I feel that this bullet could have inflicted those wounds. But the examination of the wrist both by X-ray and at the time of surgery showed some fragments of metal that make it difficult to believe that the same missile could have caused these two wounds. There seems to be more than three grains of metal missing as far as the I mean in the wrist.”
. . .
Mr. SPECTER - “What is your opinion as to whether bullet 399 could have inflicted all of the wounds on the Governor, then, without respect at this point to the wound of the President's neck?”
Dr. SHAW - “I feel that there would be some difficulty in explaining all of the wounds as being inflicted by bullet Exhibit 399 without causing more in the way of loss of substance to the bullet or deformation of the bullet.”
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. DULLES - “Did you hear at that time or have any knowledge, of a bullet which had been found on the stretcher?”
Dr. SHAW - “No; this was later knowledge.”
Mr. DULLES - “When did you first hear that?”
(At this point Senator Russell entered the hearing room.)
Dr. SHAW - “This information was first given to me by a man from the Secret Service who interviewed me in my office several weeks later. It is the first time I knew about any bullet being recovered.”
From what I read in an earlier paragraph, the bullet (CE-399) was lodged in the soft tissue in Connally’s thigh, from where it might have fallen while Dr. Shaw was giving his famous interview.
John McCloy got Dr. Shaw to say on record that Gov. Connally could have been mistaken when he said he felt he was hit by a separate bullet, because a delay in sensory reaction is quite common, and this would cause a person to think he was shot later than he or she in fact was.
Then came the testimony of Dr. Charles Gregory:
Mr. SPECTER - “Do you know what the color was of the fragments in the wrist of the Governor, Dr. Gregory?”
Dr. GREGORY - “As I recall them they were lead colored, silvery, of that color. I did not recall them as being either brass or copper.”
. . .
Mr. SPECTER - “Would the wound that you observed in the soft tissue of the left thigh be consistent with having been made by a bullet such as that identified as Commission Exhibit 399?”
Dr. GREGORY - “I think again that bullet, Exhibit 399, could very well have struck the thigh in a reverse fashion and have shed a bit of its lead core into the fascia immediately beneath the skin, yet never have penetrated the thigh sufficiently so that it eventually was dislodged and was found in the clothing. I would like to add to that we were disconcerted by not finding a missile at all. Here was our patient with three discernible wounds, and no missile within him of sufficient magnitude to account for them, and we suggested that someone ought to search his belongings and other areas where he had been to see if it could be identified or found, rather.”
. . .
Mr. SPECTER - “Assume, if you will, another set of hypothetical circumstances: That the 6.5 millimeter bullet traveling at the same muzzle velocity, to wit, 2,000 feet per second, at approximately 165 feet between the weapon and the victim, struck the President in the back of the neck passing through the large strap muscles, going through a fascia channel, missing the pleural cavity, striking no bones and emerging from the lower anterior third of the neck, after striking the trachea. Could such a projectile have then passed into the Governor's back and inflicted all three or all of the wounds which have been described here today?”
Dr. GREGORY - “I believe one would have to concede the possibility, but I believe firmly that the probability is much diminished.”
Mr. SPECTER - “Why do you say that, sir?”
Dr. GREGORY - “I think that to pass through the soft tissues of the President would certainly have decelerated the missile to some extent. Having then struck the Governor and shattered a rib, it is further decelerated, yet it has presumably retained sufficient energy to smash a radius. Moreover, it escaped the forearm to penetrate at least the skin and fascia of the thigh, and I am not persuaded that this is very probable. I would have to yield to possibility. I am sure that those who deal with ballistics can do better for you than I can in this regard.”
Mr. SPECTER - “What would your assessment of the likelihood be for a bullet under those hypothetical circumstances to have passed through the neck of the President and to have passed through only the chest of the Governor without having gone through either the wrist or into the thigh?”
Dr. GREGORY - “I think that is a much more plausible possibility or probability.”
Mr. SPECTER - “How about the likelihood of passing through the President and through the Governor's chest, but missing his wrist and passing into his thigh?”
Dr. GREGORY - “That, too, is plausible, I believe.”
So in short: Dr. Gregory finds it very difficult to believe, given his years of experience with gunshot wounds, that all those wounds in Connally were created by the same bullet that came out of Kennedy. The loss of velocity would have increased to such a degree that the wrist would have never been shattered to THAT degree and still allow the bullet to travel on to the thigh. It’s also noteworthy to mention that he noticed the fragments he saw to have been lead or silvery colored, as opposed to the copper-jacketed bullets Oswald/Hidell might have received with his Mannlicher-Carcano.

Gun Shot Residue (GSR) never found on Oswald's cheek
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/factoid2.htm
Rifle tests had been done with several individuals, all of Oswald's height and build.
On these individuals GSR was found on their hands and right cheek (or left cheek, if the individual was firing left handed).
The traces of GSR were made up of barium and antimony, which are also components in ink. Paraffin tests done on Oswald's hands and cheek showed there were traces of barium and antimony on his hands (he did handle books for a living), but none on his cheek.
The ballistic matches of bullet fragments and CE-399 to C-2766 showed that they all came from the 'Oswald rifle', but say nothing about whether he actually fired it. And the paraffin tests seemingly absolved him of that. BUT ... since CE-399 could not have come from Connally, and ballistics tests prove CE-399 was fired from the weapon found in the TSBD, we come to the conclusion that there was some very careful staging going on and Oswald couldn't have been involved in that because he was nowhere near Parkland Memorial Hospital when CE-399 was discovered. CE-399 was most likely fired from that rifle before the assassination, carefully preserved, and planted on the stretcher in Parkland by someone with the IQ of a pickle, because apparently Connally hadn't even been ON that particular stretcher!
​
The complete dismissal of Secret Service security around the plaza
Standard procedure is to check all buildings, close all windows, and post agents along such a route where they think it would be possible to attempt shots from. This didn't happen. HOWEVER - some people who ran up the grassy knoll, wanting to look behind the picket fence, one being motorcycle Patrolman Clyde Haygood, were stopped up there by a man showing Secret Service credentials.
Patrolman Haygood was told by this man that the area was secured and under control.
Haygood was said to have also smelled gunpowder when he arrived up there, but this statement was never verified.
Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrells, until the discovery of the rifle in the TSBD, was adamant two shots came from the grassy knoll, and this area was one of the areas of concern during the planning of the route. Despite it being an 'area of concern', no agents were posted there.
He was riding in the first car, directly in front of the Presidential limousine. In his testimony to the Warren Commission on May 7, 1964 he told Samuel Stern:
​
Mr. SORRELS – “I was riding in what we call the lead car [right rear seat], which is the one immediately in front of the President's car.”
Mr. STERN – “What was your function in the lead car?”
Mr. SORRELS – “To be there with the special agent who had made the survey, and with the Chief of Police, and to observe the people and buildings as we drove along in the motorcade.”
Mr. STERN – “One of your responsibilities was to observe the buildings and the windows of the buildings?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes, sir.”
...
Mr. SORRELS – “The Book Depository, as we turned to the right on Houston Street, of course, was right directly in front of us, and just to the left side of the street. I saw that building, saw that there were some windows open, and that there were some people looking from the windows. I remember distinctly there were a couple of colored men that were in windows almost not quite to the center of the building, probably two floors down from the top. There may have been one or two other persons that I may have seen there. I don't recall any specific instance. But I did not see any activity--no one moving around or anything like that.”
Mr. STERN – “Do you think you had an opportunity to view all the windows of the building?”
Mr. SORRELS – “I did, yes; because it was right in front.”
Mr. STERN – “Do you recall seeing anything on the side of the building to your right, any of the windows on that side of the building--the far right side of the building?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes. There was at least one or two windows that were open in that section over there. I do not recall seeing anyone in any of those windows. I do not, of course, remember seeing any object or anything like that in the windows such as a rifle or anything pointing out the windows. There was no activity, no one moving around that I saw at all.”
[ when being asked about the first shot he heard ]
Mr. STERN – “Now, did you recognize it at the time as a shot?”
Mr. SORRELS – “I felt it was, because it was too sharp for a backfire of an automobile. And, to me, it appeared a little bit too loud for a firecracker. I just said, "What's that?" And turned around to look up on this terrace part there, because the sound sounded like it came from the back and up in that direction.”
[ upon being asked about his talk with Howard Brennan - keep in mind that later on Mr. Brennan changed his story ]
Mr. SORRELS – “Mr. Brennan said that he was standing across the street, watching the parade, and that he, of course, was looking in the direction where the President was, and he heard a sound which he thought at first was a backfire of an automobile. And that shortly afterwards there was another sound, and that he thought that somebody might be throwing firecrackers out of the building. And he glanced up to the building, and that he saw a man at the window on the right-hand side, the second floor from the top. And he said, "I could see the man taking deliberate aim and saw him fire the third shot," and said then he just pulled the rifle back in and moved back from the window, just as unconcerned as could be.”
[ regarding his questioning of Mr. & Mrs. Arnold Rowland - their last name was misspelled in the Warren Report as "Roland" ]
​
Mr. STERN – “Are you certain about the name of this couple? I believe you said Arnold.”
Mr. SORRELS – “Well----“
Mr. STERN – “Could that have been his first name?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes, that could have been his first name.”
Mr. STERN – “Can you recall his second name?”
Mr. SORRELS – “I would know it if I heard it.”
Mr. STERN – “Could it have been Roland?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes, Roland is right.”
Mr. STERN – “What did they tell you?”
Mr. SORRELS – “He said that they were standing there waiting for the President to come by, and they were talking about security. And he said that right after that, that he looked up at this building over there, which is the Book Depository, and that there were a couple of windows open towards the west side, and that he saw a man standing in there with what appeared to be a rifle with a telescopic sight.”
Mr. STERN – “Towards the west side?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes--two windows towards the west side. And that he remarked to his wife, "I guess that is a Secret Service man." And I asked her if she saw it, and she said, no, that she had left her glasses home, and she is nearsighted, and she could not see him. And, of course, I asked him the description of the man. I asked him "How could you determine what made you think it had a telescopic sight on it?" He said, "Well, it seemed like it was wider on the light background." I said, "How was he holding it?" He said, port arms--he was standing several feet back away from the window. And I asked him, "Could you identify that man?" He said, "No, I could not."
...
Mr. STERN – “Now, as to the apparent source of these reports, did you feel that all three reports came from the same direction?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes. Definitely so.”
...
Mr. SORRELS – “All buildings are a problem, as far as we are concerned. That, insofar as I have been concerned--and I am sure that every member of the Service, especially the Detail--that is always of concern to us. We always consider it a hazard. During the time that we were making this survey with the police, I made the remark that if someone wanted to get the President of the United States, he could do it with a high-powered rifle and a telescopic sight from some building or some hillside, because that has always been a concern to us, about the buildings.”
...
Mr. STERN – “Had you requested any local Federal agency, for example FBI or Internal Revenue, to participate in any way in the actual protection measures for the day of the President's visit?”
Mr. SORRELS – “I had offers from some of the other agencies, offering their services in case there was anything they could assist in. The usual reply to that is that we are working with the local officials, police department, sheriff's department, Department of Public Safety, and we feel that we have sufficient manpower to take care of the program as we have in the past, and we have always suggested, in not only this instance but in other instances, that if any member of their department should hear of anything, or see anything unusual, that they felt we should know about, to please get in touch with us immediately, along those lines. And this means the Secret Service did NOT have anyone assigned to that grassy knoll / picket fence / rail road yard area.”
​
And there we have it. There were NO members of the Secret Service up there where motorcyle Patrolman Haygood went for a look.
The Secret Service man he encountered up there was an imposter.
Another very clear indication there was someone up there who might be part of the assassination.
Yet the Warren Commission still went ahead with the single shooter theory, and dismissed the possibility of a conspiracy.
This is why so many people feel the Warren Commission was a fake show to please the public, and that they were really just trying to make sure the blame kept getting shifted to Lee Harvey Oswald.
​
[ when talking with Oswald ]
​
Mr. SORRELS – “I asked him, as I recall it, what his duties were at this Book Depository, and he said filling orders. I asked him if he had occasion to be on more than one floor, and he said, yes. I asked him if he had occasion to be on the sixth floor of the building. He said, yes, because they fill orders from all the floors. But he said most of his activity was down on the first floor.”
​
​
The last shot being the best
This is probably the strangest thing of all.
Sure, the view was unobstructed by that time, but the target was also much further away.
A closer target is always easier to hit, especially for someone with Oswald's marksman qualifications, and despite the short distance between JFK and the 'sniper's nest'. The last shot would come after a quick recycling of the round to the barrel, with a rusty bolt, and then aiming, with a faulty scope. This is not easy at all. It would have been blind luck with that particular type of rifle, which had a reputation for jamming when the next bullet was loaded from the clip into the barrel. Yet they say Oswald pulled it off.
​
​
Mayor Earle Cabell - LINK ===> Gen. Charles Cabell, Allen Dulles, Richard Bissel
As outrageous as this theory is, it's not impossible. But it IS a lot to ask for.
This theory came to be when someone, at one time, launched the rumour that the parade route had been purposely altered to bring the motorcade into a kill zone. And Oliver Stone fueled this theory even more in his famous movie.
So people began to speculate who could have done this. Well it just so happened that Earle Cabell was mayor of Dallas at the time of the assassination, and in the motorcade with his wife Elizabeth.
Mayor Cabell just happened to be the brother of Gen. Charles Cabell, one of the three 'sacred cows in the US intelligence machine' fired by Kennedy due to the whole ‘Bay of Pigs’ fiasco. The other two 'sacred cows' were Richard Bissell, who was head of the Spyplane Project, and Allen Dulles. Yes, that’s right … THE Allen Dulles. Of the infamous Warren Commission.
So suddenly the Kennedy assassination was all about revenge by these three important men, and Gen. Cabell had his brother come up with an alternative route, which was conveyed through one of Kennedy’s advisers.
Unfortunately this theory is blown out of the water when one reads the Warren Commission testimony of Forrest Sorrels:
​
Mr. STERN – “Why didn't you route the motorcade on Main Street under the triple overpass and on to Stemmons Freeway that way, instead of going to Houston and Elm?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Well, because you cannot get to the entrance to Stemmons Expressway on Main Street. The traffic is not routed that way. It is impractical. On the other side of the first underpass there is a section built up to prevent cars from cutting in from Main Street to get over to Elm Street there. And if a person would go from--try to go from Main Street over to Stemmons Expressway, they would have to either hurdle this built-up place there, island, you might call it, or an extension of an island----“
Mr. STERN – “Do you know what this built-up place is constructed of?”
Mr. SORRELS – “It is, I am sure, asphalt, or concrete--probably concrete. You would have to go down on Main Street, pass where you would ordinarily turn off, and then come back against traffic, which would be one way that way, and make a hairpin turn, and come back and get on there. It just is not done.”
Mr. STERN – “Could that reverse-S turn which you have described have been done conveniently with a car the size of the Presidential limousine?”
Mr. SORRELS – “No, it would not be convenient with an ordinary car, because it would be a very sharp hairpin turn, and the place that is built there is there specifically to prevent anyone from getting over on the wrong way there.”
Mr. STERN – “When you laid out the motorcade route and drove over it--and I take it you drove over it several times----“
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes, sir.”
Mr. STERN – “Did you consider or discuss with Mr. Lawson the possibility of any danger to the President from the buildings along the route?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Well----“
Mr. STERN – “Did you think about any of the buildings as presenting any particular problem?”
Mr. SORRELS – “All buildings are a problem, as far as we are concerned. That, insofar as I have been concerned--and I am sure that every member of the Service, especially the Detail--that is always of concern to us. We always consider it a hazard. During the time that we were making this survey with the police, I made the remark that if someone wanted to get the President of the United States, he could do it with a high-powered rifle and a telescopic sight from some building or some hillside, because that has always been a concern to us, about the buildings.”
Mr. STERN – “Do you recall any further conversation, any further remarks in that conversation? Did anybody respond to that remark? Only if you recall.”
Mr. SORRELS – “I don't recall any particular response. Probably there was confirmation of that fact, because I think that anyone that has had any experience in security measures would have the same opinion. I don't recall anyone specifically making any comment like that.”
Mr. STERN – “But there was no suggestion that anything might be done to minimize that risk?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Nothing more than what we always do----try to scan the windows, and if we see something suspicious, take proper action.”
Mr. STERN – “When you went over the parade route with the police officials, did they confirm your view that this was the proper route to use?”
Mr. SORRELS – “Yes, they did.”
Mr. STERN – “And there was no concern expressed by them that some other route might be better for some reason?”
Mr. SORRELS – “No, sir; no, sir.”
So as Forrest Sorrels explains above, the only way to get on to the Stemmons Expressway, which they needed to take to get to the Trade Mart, from Main street, was to go through Houston and Elm. And maps of the area, even modern Google Earth streetview, confirm this. Those “build ups”, as Sorrels calls them, still exist there today.
​​
Even Buell Wesley Frazier, the man who drove Oswald to work that morning, stated something similar in his testimony in the famous trial against Clay L. Shaw, Feb. 13, 1969:
Mr. ALCOCK - "Did you know the President of the United States was going to pass in front of the Book Depository the following day?"
Mr. FRAZIER - "I would say a couple of days before the parade he was scheduled to come through Dallas, several of the newspapers had various routes showing he would be coming down the downtown area. You have to come right by the School Book Depository to go out the Freeway there."
Mr. ALCOCK - "Is that the Stemmons Freeway?"
Mr. FRAZIER - "Yes."
​
Some considered Frazier's testimony to be important, because it ties Oswald with a long package (the curtain rods) that might have been a disassembled rifle (despite it having proved impossible to be so), but the reason Stone never used any of Frazier's statements given at the Shaw trial in his movie is because it destroys the parade route theory.
Had Stone used one part of the testimony and not the other, he would have had to explain himself
​
​
And now I will present to you the evidence against Oswald’s innocence:
​
He left the scene without notifying anyone - that immediately makes you guilty
At the very first opportunity, when he realized no one would be working the rest of the day, he left the building.
And he seems to have told no one. He didn’t ask for permission to go home. He just left.
And when most people don't leave, and you do, just minutes after several shots have been fired at the Presidential motorcade from the very building you work in, you’re making yourself look exceptionally guilty.
Marine Scout Sniper training
Despite Lee Oswald not being the best marksman in his class, it doesn't take a super-skilled sniper to shoot anything in an area as small as Dealey Plaza. You sure don’t need to be an excellent marksman.
Oswald was sufficiently trained to fire his rifle within the distances presented in Dealey Plaza.
Especially from the building where he worked. The furthest shot was around 265 feet.
That's 88 yards, which in golf terms comes to a simple 'pitch shot'.
"I'm just a patsy"
This basically means he didn't do it, but he knows who did and they set him up to take the fall.
You don't pick a random person to be your fallguy.
The fallguy needs to have a motive or some kind of connection in the background that can be linked to the target.
His shady Russian adventure
If the assassination was indeed a CIA 'black-op', like some like to speculate, and Oswald was indeed a CIA assett, he may well have been planted at that book depository to give him close access to the scene.
His homecoming from Russia was an indication that someone wanted him back in the States for some reason, and his mother sure didn’t have that kind of clout. His ties to the CIA are impossible to ignore, but is it enough to legally tie him to the assassination?
​
​
Civil Air Patrol recruits
The owner of the Texas School Book Depository was Mr. D.H. Byrd, who also just happened to be the co-founder of the Civil Air Patrol where Oswald was first stationed as a young soldier, along with David W. Ferrie and John Liggett, who were also members of that specific unit.
Ferrie’s associates, according to Oliver Stone’s movie, are correct; Guy Bannister (ex-FBI), Clay Shaw (founder of the Trade Mart), and several Cubans, and apparently he did some flying for covert CIA operations. Whether or not Ferrie was involved with the covert CIA hit team 'Operation 40' or 'Operation Mongoose', the plan to kill Castro, has never been fully proven.
John Liggett was a top notch embalmer and reconstructive surgeon at a mortuary called "Restland".
He received a telephone call on the evening of the assassination, and left his home without explaining why.
It’s suggested he was charged with reconstructing John Kennedy’s head, and creating a whole new wound in the front.
The photo taken at Bethesda clearly shows the back of his head blasted open, and the front to have a small entry wound.
Then a sketch was made in the autopsy room, which was then 'perfected' after the autopsy by an illustrator, and this sketch was, in later years, given to another illustrator (Ida G. Dox) as a means of defense during the HSCA hearing of 1978-1979.
This sketch shows the back of his head intact, and the front portion of his head open (we can see a flap of skin folded back).
It was reported, however never factually proven, that Liggett suddenly came into a lot of money a few days after the assassination.
His wife and stepdaughter remember his late night poker parties with his dear friend, David Ferrie.
In any case, this doesn’t make Oswald’s old buddies look like a bunch of choir boys, and it makes the Civil Air Patrol look more and more like a CIA training school.

Kennedy photographed at Bethesda Official illustration made by Ida G. Dox for the HSCA
​
Unfortunately I'm not making this up.
The picture on the right is the HSCA's idea of Kennedy’s head wound, which proves just how serious we can take the HSCA report.
And Robert Groden, for that matter, since he didn't seem to contest it.
Hold on, because I have even more:

​
Oh look! Is that a small entry wound? Why yes it is!
​
No, Dr. Malcolm Perry didn’t make that tracheal incision to purposely cover up that entry wound.
As silly as it seems, he was actually trying to save his life, despite seeing that enormous head wound and such a large portion of the brain missing. Apparently Kennedy seemed to be breathing very lightly on his own.
And whenever there is a chance to save a life, you use that chance. And that’s what he did.
But what else do you see on these last two pictures? Look closely at the top left of his forehead (his right): an entry wound.
Very consistent with a shot from the front!
The picture on the left is possibly the only picture that was taken at Parkland Hospital.
Does it look like the front of his head is blown open like the Warren Commission tried to get us to believe? Not one tiny bit.
Just a tiny bullet hole. It is also very inconsistent with the images in the Zapruder film. But I will get back to that later on.
But that was the list of evidence against Lee Harvey Oswald.
Not a very extensive list, is it?

Eye/ear witness shots overview
​
Emmet J. Hudson - 3 shots from the direction of the TSBD, only police officers with rifles by the picket fence area
Amos Euins - 3 shots from the TSBD, 6th floor window
Bill Newman - 2 shots from behind them in the garden area (pergola)
Arnold Rowland - 3 shots from the “rail road yards”, despite seeing a shooter on the 6th floor of the TSBD
Mary Moorman - 3 or 4 shots, but couldn’t say where from
Jean Hill - 4 to 6 shots, the assassin did first three from the TSBD and the rest from SS shooting back from the grassy knoll
Lee E. Bowers - 3 shots, unsure of source due to reverberation
Sam M. Holland - 4 shots; 3 from the TSBD, one from the grassy knoll
Richard C. Dodd - 4 shots; 3 from the TSBD, one from the grassy knoll
Robert Hill Jackson - 3 shots coming from the TSBD
Tom Dillard - 3 shots coming from the TSBD
Victoria Adams - 3 shots from below and to the right (she was hanging out the 4th floor window of the TSBD!)
John Connally - 3 shots from behind them
Charles Brehm - 3 shots from somewhere near the corner of Houston and Elm streets
Abraham Zapruder - 2 or 3 shots from the direction of the TSBD
Marilyn Sitzman - 3 shots from TSBD, but thought there might have been someone behind the fence with a silencer
James Tague - 3 shots from his left (pergola or grassy knoll), but fairly sure the second shot hit him
Mary Muchmore - 3 shots, but couldn’t say from where they were fired
Tina Towner - 3 shots, but couldn’t say from where they were fired
Mark Bell - 2 shots from between the TSBD and the fence by the rail road tracks
James Altgens - 2 shots for certain (30 seconds apart), maybe a third, but all from TSBD
Orville Nix - 3 shots; first he said they came from the grassy knoll area, then he said they came from the TSBD
Charles Hester - 2 shots from the TSBD, despite thinking something had happened behind the pergola
Forrest Sorrels - 2 or 3 shots from the top of the terrace (grassy knoll area)
​
Buell Wesley Frazier - 3 shots from down towards the triple underpass
​
What we have in the above overview are some conflicts, but also some clear numbers.
Where the majority claims all shots were fired from either the TSBD or its general direction, some also clearly state that they came from the grassy knoll, the general railroad area, or the pergola area between the tracks and the TSBD.
Some said from both the TSBD and the grassy knoll.
There are, however, also four witnesses who couldn’t determine at all from where the shots had been fired.
What comes from this is something interesting, and possibly a well estimated guess on behalf of the shooter(s); this location could have been picked because of its density, its small size, and its possibility of reverberation which causes confusion.
And that’s exactly what happened. Because of this confusion, this crime remains a cold case, and therefore still open to much debate by conspiracy researchers and lone-nutters alike. Looking back we can say it’s too bad there were no blind people (ie. 100% ear witnesses) present at Dealey Plaza during JFK’s assassination.
In my opinion, even just one of them would have been a more reliable witness than the above names.
Think of the famous words by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first Star Wars movie “Your eyes can deceive you, don’t trust them.” And this is true.
Those who heard the shots, also had sight. And because of this, their pinpointing of the origin of the shots was disrupted and corrupted. Someone who doesn’t have the depth of sight, is confined to using their hearing.
Close your eyes next time you’re out in a busy city, or in a park, and find out just how much you can identify when one sense is taken out of the equation, and you have only another to rely on.
But, shockingly, Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrels, was adamant the shots came from the grassy knoll area! Or the “terrace”, as he called it.
Only once a rifle was found on the 6th floor of the book depository, did he decide the shots must have come from there.
He let his training, his gut instinct, be pushed aside by evidence.
And he never questioned it.
The assassination might not have been a success if he had.​
