This is actually from a 2023 article from the Daily Mail entitled: "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." Paul 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.

The bullet, which had been fired but was nearly fully intact, was positively matched to Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano through ballistics analysis.
But if Landis' claim is true, that suggests the bullet tagged as FBI evidence item 'C1' was not responsible for the injuries to Connolly, and there was no so-called 'magic bullet'.
The article goes on to explain that there wasn't enough time for Oswald to get off four shots from his rifle in the time he had, so if there was a fourth bullet, as Landis is saying, there must necessarily have been another shooter--someone that shot Connolly.
One wonders if any of this matters anymore. The event was 63 years ago and pretty much anyone involved on either side of it is long gone. The Secret Service Agent himself is now 88 years old. Kennedy was shot and killed...and the outcome was the same regardless of one, two or three or more shooters. If any of the assassins are even still alive, they're most likely sitting in a nursing home. Can't hold anyone accountable if there is no one still around.
ReplyDeleteThe Kennedy assassination matters a great deal to this country, meaning the United States, for reasons other than the loss of a charismatic young president. That day in November 1963 is an inflection point for when the nation ceased being a republic governed by the consent of its people ~ and instead became something else, something darker and more sinister.
ReplyDeleteSome JFK theorists claim that we have been living under a de facto military dictatorship since then. Presidents and Congresses come and go, but the national security arm of the deep state really runs things. Those claims may or may not be true, but what is inarguable is that the United States government has changed a great deal since then, and not in ways that any heritage American ought to like.
Good point...
DeleteBallistics prove it's BS,read Robert Fraziers testimony,it's all there.....The AMU had to fabricate 2-020 shims for scope(missing 2 screws)to get it on paper at 50yds...........
ReplyDeleteThe autopsy of President Kennedy was faked by U.S. Navy surgeons and pathologists to hide the fact that the young president had been killed by three shots, two from the front and one from the rear. To disguise an exit wound on Kennedy's throat, he was given a tracheostomy postmortem. David Mantik, M.D. Ph.D. and Dr. Jerome Corsi - in their book, "The Final Analysis," also prove that the X-rays of his skull later used in the Warren Commission Report were fraudulently created to buttress the "lone wolf" Oswald theory, and hide the fact that there were multiple shooters. A Navy Corpsman saw the president's body before it was altered, but was ordered to remain silent upon the threat of imprisonment.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the precise facts of the case were/are, it is now clearly apparent that some sort of conspiracy was responsible for the death of John F. Kennedy, and that the U.S. government has been covering it up for more than sixty years.
Wonder why they still haven't released all the files. Hmmm?
