I published this article on my JFK site a few weeks ago. It has proved to be one of the most popular articles on my site. The article presents 20 key facts about JFK's murder that can be read in 8 minutes. References for each fact are presented after the list of facts. Here are a few of the facts:
More popular than the article that explains that the Confederate states seceded because of the high tariff? Even though when the 7 original Confederate states seceded, the tariff was at its lowest level since 1816. And the four states which published their “Declarations of Causes”, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia, (following the example of the 1776 Declaration of Independence) did not mention the word ‘Tariff’ once. Lots of mentions about the Northern threat to the institution of slavery. Lots of complains about Northern states passing state laws which conflict with the Federal Fugitive Slave Law, something that strong proponents of ‘State Rights’ would never do. Because, under the principle of ‘State Rights’, Vermont has every right to pass a law on how it should be determined if a man is really an escaped slave or not, within the state of Vermont. But the Confederates did not think so. But no mention of the word ‘Tariff’. This was an argument that was developed after 1861, to disguise the true motives for Secession.
1. The ammunition that struck JFK in the head did not behave like the type of ammunition that the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, supposedly used. Also, Oswald allegedly used 6.5 mm bullets, but the rear entrance wound on the skull was only 6.0 mm wide, so it could not have been made by a 6.5 mm bullet.
No ballistic expert, who conducts real world experiments, whose testimony would be accepted in a court of law, believes this assersion. Ballistic experts like Larry Sturdivan, Luke Haag and Michael Haag. No ballistic expert in this country, or any other country.
The entrance wound was measured to be 6.0 mm wide? Not 6.1 mm? Or 6.2 mm? How was this measurement made so precisely?
Was this measurement taken of the skin or the skull?
2. One of the three bullet shells that were reportedly found near the window from which Oswald allegedly fired could not have been used to fire a bullet during the shooting because it had a sizable dent in it. This means Oswald could have only fired two shots, but at least three shots were fired during the assassination.
The shell was made by firing the bullet and ejecting the shell from a rifle. So, this not only could be done but was done.
What alternative explanation do you have for making such a shell with a dent in it? Taking the bullet from the factory before it is joined with the rest of the bullet, and putting a dent in it?
19. Eyewitness accounts, photos, declassified files, and the Zapruder film indicate that six shots were fired at JFK’s limousine. The lone-gunman theory only allows for three shots.
The Zapruder film? If so:
What frames numbers show when the shot was fired?
What direction was each of the six bullets fired from?
Exactly what did each of the six bullets strike? I like to see something like:
Bullet 1: At z148, fired from the rear, struck the street on the right side of the limousine.
Bullet 2: At z186-z190, fired from the front, struck the throat of JFK. etc.
I like to see some claim that can be evaluated.
I hope you’re not going to claim that the Zapruder film shows 6 clear bullet strikes, but you can’t tell approximately when they struck. Maybe they struck at z148, z155, z175, z230, z275 and z313. Or maybe they struck at z160, z180, z200, z220, z315 and z330. Can’t really tell when they struck. But it does clearly show 6 strikes.
