FBI marksmen attempting to duplicate Oswald's alleged feats were unable to do so because the rifle scope was not properly sighted. Could this have been because the scope was removed from one weapon and placed on another? Although a good scope mount may hold a zero when removed from a rifle and replaced, if placed on another rifle, it would be very unlikely to be properly aligned for the second weapon and would have to be re-zeroed. Kennedy's brain was spattered across the car's trunk to his left rear. Mrs. Kennedy actually crawled out of her seat and can be seen trying to gather some of this material. A MC officer to the left rear of the car was also sprayed with blood and brain matter. This is consistent with being struck from the right front, not from the rear or right rear. Anyone who has ever recovered a bullet from a deer, especially one that has struck bone, can attest to the impossibility of a "magic bullet" traversing two bodies, striking bone, and remaining almost pristine. The timing of the bullet strikes as shown by the Zapruder film dispenses absolutely with theories that have Kennedy and Connally struck by a single bullet. The trajectory of the original shot, as alleged by investigators, also precludes such an occurrence.

Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy. This was the final, official word on the Kenneday assasination. Anti-conspiracy buffs ("nuts," as some may call them) conveniently overlook this fact. Oddly, although they concluded there was a conspiracy, they also concluded that that none of the "usual suspects" were involved, and did not venture to say who they thought was behind the conspiracy.

The military industrial complex was against him... The intelligence community was against him... The Cubans in Miami were against him... And the mob was against him... Somewhere in there, in some combination of some or all of the above, the truth can be found..... All I said was that Oswald couldn’t possibly have been acting alone…

Assume that in fact a crazed commie did it, and he was alone. But the post suggests that Media Matters suggests the Right Wing was responsible . No. Media Matters merely said, and accurately, that the right in Dallas was very anti-JFK. I seem to recall that it was so anti-JFK that the president was warned not to go there. Alas, he did.
