Guns of the JFK Assassination. Yes Guns!
Jul 30, 2020 12:28:40 #
You think Lee Harvey Oswald fired 3 shots and k**led JFK, well I wager he never fired one.
12 shots were needed to take out JFK. Most from non-traceable, firearms suppressors
called Whispering Death! No sound. Watch out the CIA is watching.
That said!
This article will focus exclusively on the firearms aspect of the assassination, including the direct, physical evidence of shots fired, shell casings and bullets recovered, weapons recovered, ricochet marks on the pavement, and the testimony of alleged participants, in a detailed effort to reconstruct what really happened on that fateful day in Dallas, Texas, 57 years ago. Fortunately, Dallas dressmaker Abraham Zapruder filmed the entire, gruesome assassination sequence from nearby with an 8mm Bell and Howell movie camera at 18.3 frames per second, in full color, and that film still exists.
Shot #1: Between Zapruder Frames Z152 and Z155, a shot misses and ricochets off the street behind the p**********l limousine, causing sparks. Kennedy hears it and turns his head about 65 to 90 degrees to the right, directly toward the Grassy Knoll area ahead, by Frame Z160.
Shot #2: JFK is apparently hit in the throat at Frame Z189 from a frontal direction, and his hands move up to the front of his throat as if he is choking. Emergency room doctors at Parkland Hospital, including Doctor Charles Crenshaw, later observe a clean, 3mm-to-5mm, puckered, entry wound. The president stiffens, he cannot talk, and can barely move, as if suddenly paralyzed, and his wife, Jackie, seated beside him to the left, said that there was “No blood or anything.” There was also no gunfire sound, and no rearward movement of his body consistent with a frontal, bullet impact, so this was extremely unusual. Doctor Crenshaw later wrote, “It was a bullet entry wound. There was no doubt in my mind.”
Shot #3: At Frame Z225, JFK is hit in the upper back from behind, and his body visibly lurches forward on the Zapruder film. Directly in front of him, Governor John Connally reacts to the impact behind him, and he flips his hat at Frames Z228-Z230. This was likely a defective round, or “dud” bullet, because it only penetrated the president’s back finger-deep, doing very little damage, and it was never recovered.
Shot #4: From the western end of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) at Frame Z237, Governor Connally is hit in the back, near his right arm. His shoulder suddenly drops on film, and he turns to look behind him.
Shot #5: At Frame Z312, from the direction of the Dal-Tex Building directly behind him, JFK is hit in the upper back of the head at a low angle by a grazing shot that apparently does not penetrate his skull, causing his head to momentarily snap forward about two and half inches. The bullet continued straight ahead, tumbled 180 degrees, and badly dented the top of the inner windshield frame of the limousine base-first, preserving the bullet tip. The smashed fragments of this bullet were recovered inside the vehicle as Commission Exhibit 567, clearly showing a pointed nose, like a .30-06 bullet, and not a rounded nose, like a 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano bullet. Some later photos of CE 567 do not show the pointed tip, but it’s quite evident in the early photos.
Shot #6: From the Grassy Knoll at Frame Z313, a mere 1/18th of a second later, the president is hit in the right temple by a very-high-velocity shot, causing his head to snap violently toward the left rear, away from the Grassy Knoll, as his brain literally explodes in what is clearly the fatal shot. Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction,” and the president’s head was flung roughly backward at the rate of 100 feet per second, or 68 miles per hour, in that split-second. Motorcycle policeman Bobby Hargis, riding behind the limousine to the left rear, is sprayed so hard with JFK’s blood and brain tissue that he thinks that he himself has been hit, and stops his motorcycle.
Shot #7: Later, FBI Agent Robert Barrett, policeman J.W. Foster, and Detective Edward “Buddy” Walthers together recover a fired, .45 ACP pistol bullet near a manhole cover on Dealey Plaza, right beside the motorcade route.
Shot #8: Another shot misses the limousine, hits a curb near the underpass ahead, and ricochets fragments onto the cheek of bystander James T. Tague.
Shot #9: Yet another shot gouges a four-inch-long mark in the sidewalk on Elm Street, from the western end of the TSBD. Five eyewitnesses saw this strike occur. That section of curb was hastily repaired by the FBI, who said that it could not have come from the alleged, Lee Harvey Oswald window at the eastern end of the TSBD.
Shot #10: One witness saw a bullet hole in the Stemmons Freeway sign directly beside the shooting zone. This sign was hastily removed afterward and was never replaced. Richard Bothun Photo #4, in black and white, shows what could possibly be a bullet hole in the lower corner of the sign, nearest to the street.
Shot #11: Another shot cracked and penetrated the windshield of the limousine left of center, making a hole “large enough to put a pencil through it,” according to Dallas police Sergeant Stavis Ellis. A typical pencil measures .303-caliber in diameter.
Shot #12: Another shot struck the concrete casing around the south manhole cover on Elm Street, and the gouge aims directly toward the roof of the County Records Building nearby.
While all of this direct, physical and photographic evidence of potentially 12 shots fired is alarming enough, that’s certainly not the end of it. There are still the seven “specimens” to be accounted for:
The Barbee Specimen: This was a .30-caliber, M1 Carbine bullet found imbedded in a rooftop near the Stemmons Freeway in 1966, only a quarter-mile from the TSBD, and examined by the FBI in 1967. They showed little interest at the time, due to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, and closed this case.
The Haythorne Specimen: This was a .30-06, jacketed soft point bullet found on the roof of the Massey Building, eight blocks from the TSBD, in 1967, and examined by the HSCA in 1978, probably manufactured by Remington.
The Lester Specimen: This was a 52.7-grain, rear bullet fragment found in Dealey Plaza, just 500 yards from the TSBD, in 1974, and examined by the FBI in 1976-77. It was a four-groove, jacketed soft point or hollowpoint, possibly in 6.5mm, but definitely nota Carcano bullet, as Oswald was suspected to have fired. Amazingly, the FBI showed no interest whatsoever in this specimen.
The Dal-Tex Specimen: This was a rusted, shell casing found on the roof of the Dal-Tex Building at the assassination site in 1977, with crimped edges, suggesting either a handload or a sabot round.
The Walder Bullet: This was a separate bullet listed as “Submitted for testing” to the HSCA, but it does not appear in any of the evidence listings. It simply disappeared.
The Belmont Bullet: FBI administrator Alan Belmont reported to FBI Deputy Director Clyde Tolson on November 22, 1963 that, “a bullet has been found lodged behind the president’s ear.” But, there was no further mention of it afterward.
The Luster Cartridge: The Dallas Morning News reported on November 23, 1978, that Hal Luster had found a fully-intact, unfired, .45 ACP pistol cartridge in 1976 beside the concrete retaining wall on the Grassy Knoll.
This is mind-boggling evidence, considering that the Warren Commission wanted us to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did all of this damage totally on his own, with a beat-up, World War Two-vintage, 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle with a cheap, badly-misaligned, plastic scope that consistently hit 14 inches high and to the right at 25 yards during actual testing, a rusted-out action, and a faulty firing pin. The rifle was entirely too defective to be fired safely until it was reworked by an expert gunsmith, and even then, the FBI’s top marksmen could not possibly fire three shots in just 5.6 seconds, as the Warren Commission alleged that Oswald did.
Then, there was the obvious problem that the “Oswald Rifles” recovered by the Dallas Police, National Archives, and Warren Commission/FBI were actually three separate and distinct rifles, with different features on the butt, bolt, scope alignment, and forend. One had bottom sling swivels, another had side swivels, and the list goes on and on. At least two of them even had the same serial numbers. How on Earth does thathappen by sheer coincidence, and who can make that happen?! While the Warren Commission said that Oswald fired three shots that day, the FBI’s evidence list and photos from FBI Exhibit 10-12B both show only two fired shell casings and one unfired cartridge, so their own, FBI evidence directly contradicts the Warren Report!
But it gets worse from there, much, much worse: The Warren Commission’s alleged, pristine, “Magic Bullet” (Commission Exhibit 399) that supposedly passed through both Kennedy and Connally virtually undamaged, bore the distinctive marks of six lands and grooves. The problem here is that all Mannlicher-Carcano rifles had only four lands and grooves in their barrels.
Magically, however, (after all, it was the “Magic Bullet”), by the time this bullet was examined by the HSCA in 1978, it had mysteriously been replaced by an actual, 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano bullet bearing just four lands and grooves. Fortunately for posterity, photos and exacting measurements of both bullets still exist, so the swap is easily proven. The new bullet is also .125 inch shorter.
An official, FBI memorandum dated December 2, 1963, with the subject line, “JFK Assassination,” described, “6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano ammunition used in the assassination...Western Cartridge Corporation...manufactured four million rounds of this ammunition for the United States Marine Corps during 1954...ammunition which does not fit and cannot be fired in any of the USMC weapons.
“This gives rise to the obvious speculation that it is a contract for ammunition placed by the CIA with Western under a USMC contract for concealment purposes.” All of the 6.5mm ammo and cartridge casings in the JFK case came from this particular batch in 1954, and here was the FBI officially pointing a finger at the CIA, since the alleged, “Oswald” ammunition was supplied from this apparent, CIA batch.
Furthermore, during the HSCA investigations in 1977 to 1979, CIA officials testified that they had acquired a dozen 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifles (which they apparently never used, except perhaps on the JFK operation) and a further one million rounds of ammo for Agency use through the U.S. Marine Corps, confirming the FBI’s 1963 suspicions. This was a very interesting development, indeed, shedding more light on Lee Oswald’s’ probable, true identity.
So, if it wasn’t a Mannlicher-Carcano that k**led JFK (or was even fired at him at all), what were the weapons involved, and how many shooters were there? Were there really as many as 12 shots fired, and why didn’t we hear them? And if Oswald wasn’t shooting, who was?
Actually, three rifles were found inside the TSBD: the alleged, “Oswald” Carcano, a 7.65mm Mauser recovered by Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig, and a British .303 Enfield rifle. Craig specifically said that, “Stamped right on the barrel of the rifle was ‘7.65 Mauser,’” with Police Officer Seymour Weitzman signing a statement that said, “This rifle was a 7.65 Mauser bolt-action.” Walter Cronkite of CBS News reported on “the German-built Mauser with the sniper scope that was used to k**l President Kennedy,” and a CIA report dated November 25, 1963 bluntly stated, “It was a Mauser.”
But then, newsman Tom Whelan of WBAP-TV reported that, “Police have recovered a British .303 rifle with a telescopic sight...found on the sixth floor...Texas School (Book) Depository...found three empty .303 cartridge cases.”
At that time, there was a very close, working relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and organized crime, because the CIA had utilized organized crime figures to help train Cuban exiles for the failed, Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, and the CIA blamed Kennedy, because he withdrew air support for the invasion at the last possible moment, leaving the CIA-trained rebels floundering on the Cuban beaches, where they were easily overwhelmed and captured. These strange and shady alliances continued through 1963, resulting in a sordid cast of characters with ties to both organizations.
Sam Giancana, the head of organized crime in Chicago, and really, for the whole nation then, apparently dispatched noted hitman Marshall J. “Shoes” Caifano and mobster Richard Cain (half-brother of actor Michael Cain) from Chicago to participate in the joint assassination effort, according to various underworld sources, and these were likely the two men with the Mauser and the Enfield in the TSBD.
There were three more men advising and assisting them, including a senior, CIA officer from Miami, who later smugly and chillingly bragged to his friends that, “I was in Dallas when we got the son of a b***h (JFK), and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bas***d” (Bobby Kennedy, in 1968),” but naming them all at this point would require lengthy, detailed explanations well beyond the limited scope of this article.
This brings us to the fascinating story of James Earl Files (also known as Jimmy Sutton), who is still alive, and has confessed several times to being the Grassy Knoll shooter who fired the fatal shot at JFK. The really interesting thing about Files is that he knew things that no one else knew, things that have since been corroborated by other sources, and despite numerous attempts to discredit him (why?), no one has everproven any part of his story to be wrong. He has been entirely consistent with the details, never claiming to know more about the assassination than he was told by his late, underworld boss.
In 1963, James Files was a young (age 21), organized-crime hitman, working as a driver for Chicago mafia figure Charles “Chuckie” (“The Typewriter”) Nicoletti. Files said that he and Nicoletti were sent to Dallas in November to participate in the JFK assassination on behalf of the Chicago mafia, and that Nicoletti was armed with a “semi-automatic, Marlin, .30-06 rifle.” His detractors angrily point out that Marlin never made a .30-06 rifle, or a semi-automatic rifle, for that matter, but they are completely wrong.

I do believe it is a 22 swift, the fasted rifle in the world, over 4000 feet per second.
The fireball uses the same bullet and is a bolt action. There is a video of the guy who claims
he did the k**l shot and bit down on the casing. He is in jail. I got the impression watching the interview
that LBJ was the funder and mastermind. The FBI hid the whole thing from Americans.
Jackie who had lots of relatives in France and she moved there had the Franch government look into JFK
k*****g and they came back about a year later and said LBJ did it.
