Tomorrow a lot of us who were around 50 years ago will remember this event as though it was yesterday. A history changing moment when the President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas Texas. It was a shocking moment, and the World changed.
We remember him, probably not exactly the "King Arthur" that the Americans, and others elsewhere at the time thought, but if only his Presidency had been allowed to go full term.........................................................history will never know, and only counter factual history that some consider interesting will ever suggest what could have been.
Last week I watched a very well researched and highly plausible documentary on the exact sequence that took place in Dallas..............no massive conspiracy as such...............no political "Hidden Game" to kill JFK. No, just the simple explanation, fully backed up by evidence; statements by witnesses; research by an Austraian detective; medical facts backed by doctors reports.
It is that after Lee Harvey Oswald fired one shot that missed, another that hit Kennedy, a FBI agent, Hickson, rose to his feet in a following FBI open top car to return fire on Oswald, reached down to lift up a pre-prepared high powered rifle firing fragmenting bullets (not the type used in Oswald's gun), as he did so the car lurched forward to race up to JFK's car and Hickson accidentally pulled the trigger and fired a bullet that went forward over the car in front and straight into the back of JFK's head, blowing a large piece of skull out as the bullet exploded in his head and fragmented.
There then followed up a rapid, major , and understandable cover up by the FBI as can you imagine them having to admit to killing the President of the United States?
This version of what really happened explains the 'third shot', the angle of the bullet entered JFK's head, how his skull was smashed, and the strong smell of gun powder at ground level, alongside the cavalcade, that a number of witnesses commented on.
After 50 years of wondering this is, for me, a conclusive explanation that allows it all to go into history without further talk of major conspiracies. Just blood on an unfortunate FBI agents hand, and a natural cover up by that secretive organisation!
RIP John F. Kennedy. God Bless America.
