A picture speaks a thousand words, doesn't it? The Warren Commission thought they had an open-and-shut case. Three bullets, one a**a**in. But two unpredictable things happened that day that made it virtually impossible. One, the eight-millimeter home movie taken by Abraham Zapruder while standing near the gra**y knoll. And two, the third wounded man, James Tague, who was knicked by a fragment while standing near the triple underpa**. The time frame, 5.6 seconds, established by the Zapruder film, left no possibility of a fourth shot. So the shot or fragment that left a superficial wound on Tague's cheek had to come from one of the three bullets fired from the sixth floor of the Depository. That leaves just two bullets. And we know one of them was the fatal head shot that k**ed Kennedy. So now a single bullet remains. A single bullet now has to account for the remaining seven wounds in Kennedy and Connally.
But rather than admit to a conspiracy or investigate further, the Warren Commission chose to endorse the theory put forth by an ambitious junior counselor, Arlen Spector, one of the grossest lies ever forced on the American people. We've come to know it as the 'Magic Bullet Theory.' The magic bullet enters the President's back, headed downward at an angle of 17 degrees. It then moves upwards in order to leave Kennedy's body from the front of his neck -- wound number two -- where it waits 1.6 seconds, presumably in mid-air, where it turns right, then left, right, then left, and continues into Connally's body at the rear of his right armpit -- wound number three. The bullet then heads downward at an angle of 27 degrees, shattering Connally's fifth rib and exiting from the right side of his chest -- wound number four. The bullet then turns right and re-enters Connally's body at his right wrist -- wound number five. Shattering the radius bone, the bullet then exits Connally's wrist -- wound number six -- makes a dramatic U-turn and buries itself into Connally's left thigh -- wound number seven -- from which it later falls out and is found in almost 'pristine' condition on a stretcher in a corridor of Parkland Hospital. (He held up a bullet) That's some bullet. Anyone who's been in combat will tell you never in the history of gunfire has there been a bullet this ridiculous. Yet the government says it can prove it, with some fancy physics in a nuclear laboratory. Of course they can't. Theoretical physics can prove that an elephant can hang from a cliff with its tail tied to a daisy (laughter) but use your eyes -- your common sense. The Army Wound Ballistics experts at Edgewood Arsenal fired some comparison bullets and not one of them looked anything like this. Take a look at CE 856, an identical bullet fired through the wrist of a human cadaver. Just one of the bones smashed by the magic bullet. Seven wounds, gentlemen. Tough skin, dense bones.
This single bullet explanation is the foundation of the Warren Commission's claim of a lone a**a**in. And once you conclude the magic bullet could not create all seven of those wounds, you have to conclude that there was a fourth shot and a second rifleman. And if there was a second rifleman, then by definition, there had to be a conspiracy, which we believe involves the accused Clay Shaw. Fifty-one witnesses, gentlemen of the jury, thought they heard shots coming from the Gra**y Knoll, which is to the right and front of the President...
