The report found that one of the shots missed the motorcade, another was the “magic bullet,” and the final
shot fatally struck Kennedy in the head. Video
Landis placed the bullet on Kennedy’s stretcher at the hospital, but now believes at some point the bullet
shuffled from the president’s to the governor’s stretchers while they were pushed together, he told The
Times.

The Warren Commission ruled out the bullet coming from the president’s stretcher.

“There was nobody there to secure the scene, and that was a big, big bother to me,” Landis said. “All the
agents that were there were focused on the president.”

“This was all going on so quickly,” he continued, “And I was just afraid
that — it was a piece of evidence, that I realized right away. Very see also
important. And I didn’t want it to disappear or get lost. So it was, ‘Paul,
you’ve got to make a decision,’ and I grabbed it.’”

Landis, who was never interviewed by the Warren Commission,

believes that the bullet hit Kennedy but was undercharged and did not
penetrate deeply into the president’s body and popped out before he
was removed from the vehicle. RFK Jr. repeats claim
that the CIA killed his
He told The Times he always had believed that Oswald was the lone uncle John F. Kennedy
gunman, but six decades later, he questions that conclusion.

“At this point, I’m beginning to doubt myself,” he said. “Now I begin to wonder.”

The bullet, found fully intact, was positively matched to Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano through ballistics
analysis, The Warren Commission said in its report.

The aging former agent made the bombshell revelations in his upcoming book “The Final Witness,” which
will be published by Chicago Review Press on Oct. 10.

James Robenalt, an Ohio-based lawyer and author of several books of history, has intensely researched
the assassination and helped Landis work out his memories of that day. He believes Landis’ book will
raise new questions about Kennedy’s death.

“Ifwhat he says is true, which I tend to believe, it is likely to reopen the question of a second shooter, if not
even more,” Robenalt told The Times. “If the bullet we know as the magic or pristine bullet stopped in
President Kennedy’s back, it means that the central thesis of the Warren Report, the single-bullet theory,
is wrong.”

Which, he added, could mean that Connally was shot by a separate bullet and not by Oswald, whom he
believes could not have reloaded fast enough.

Speculation about multiple shooters has been a popular theory since the immediate moments after
Kennedy’s assassination.

“Others will have to analyze the evidence in full to see where it now leads,” Robenalt told Vanity Fair.

The only question that matters:Who gave the order?
I submit that the people who had the most to lose are the most likely suspects.

If you had control of a country's currency but the incumbent President was beginning to take
that control,wouldn't you give the order?

as a youngster in high school I still remember JFK was always talking about peace. He wanted
o pull the troops out of Vietnam. I guess this all didn’t work for the Warhawks in Washington,
the CIA got rid of him. This is exactly what the CIA does, worldwide, and Kennedy wanted to

Kennedy wanted to cease operations in VietNam; Johnson, CIA and others wanted to go full
and seriously escalate (which was done).
