204. So, tell me how the nearly pristine Magic Bullet was connected forensically to JFK's killing....

Mon Jan 14, 2013, 02:37 PM

Jan 2013

....especially when no human matter or clothing fibers of any kind were found on the bullet. Tell me how the bullet was found on a stretcher in the hospital. In fact, the Magic Bullet looks suspiciously like one that has been fired into a water-filled ballistics testing tank.

What do you know about the Warren Commission testimony indicating that the wound in the front of the President's throat was one of entrance, not exit?

Tell me about the hole in the windshield of the Presidential limo that a Secret Service agent identified as one caused by a bullet. While you're at it, tell me about the circular bullet dent or hole in the window frame to the right of the rear-view mirror. Tell me also why LBJ ordered the limo returned to Detroit to be completely rebuilt which destroyed evidence in the process.

And finally, tell me why so many witnesses and police officers ran to the fence on the so-called grassy knoll immediately following the shooting.

The names of the shooters aren't important....what's important is who gave the orders and who was involved in the cover-up. Sorry that doesn't seem to be enough for you and the 19% who still believe Oswald acted alone.
