This wasn't a street crime to ho solved by the DalL-w
polies,. This was a political cmime with political
consequences. Even in the sphere of foroiEn polities
where welve been told that there was no shift of policy
between Kennedy- end Johteon, In some areas that just
wasn't true. President Kennedy in the last 6 months of
163 was moving towards detente both in Cuba in Vietnam
and in both areas his peace initiatives were frustrated
by his aesassin4tios. In the ease of ViAnam he hk,d acconneed
publicly on NomveMbor 20, 1961 just two days before his death
that there vauld be a with drawal of US troops from Vietnam.
A thousand troops as the first stage of a mjor withdrawal
and I was horrified to learn that 2 days after his death on
November 24th this first step towards disengagement in Vietnvm.
was secretely cancelled by the new Johnson administrLtion.

(AUTHOR OF "SIX SECONDS IN DALLAS")
There's not a single witness in Denley Plaza tho said that
the assassination as the Warren Commission believed it hcpponsd.
Not a single witness saw both nen hit by the sena shot. Governor
Connally, who was hit, denies to this day that he was hit by
the same shot that hit Kennedy;
Jchn Connolly: Uh I had time to turn. Uh to try to see what had happened.
I was in the process of turning again. flat why, I felt to
impact of a bullet.
Josiah Thompson: Uh now as you notice the uh limousine is behing the Stemmone

BULLET THERE HAD TO HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ONE RIFLFMAN.
.....Upraised, elbows splayed upward. Now hero were
stopping at Zapruder frame 230. In this frame we can see
the President obviously reacting to a bullet hit. Look
closely at Governor Connally sitting directly in front of the
President. You notice bow composed he looked. Uh notice too
that h6ls holding his hat in his right hand. According to
the Warren Commission that wrist has already been shattered

hit at this point and I think that's obviously the crso. Now
we're moving ahead. It is the immediate impact effects of a
hit. I asked Dr. Gregrory his surgeon at ono point why his
cheeks would puff and Gregory exelqinod that tLe impact, of the
hullit F:inetrating the chest would have driven air upward through
the we throughtths trap door in the throat which would invo-
lutnarily open and it would puff the cheeks. All these are
consistent than the llullit hit at this point. Seems to me that
we've seen here then is the' photographic disproef of tIle single
bullit theory, Now moving ahead in the film we're now nearing
the point where Presil3cnt Kennedy is killed. There it is. Frs.=

According to the Warren Commission ht was shot directly

which broke both a rib and the radiuc in John Connolly is in

is virginal in its condition. These two bullets were fired into
cotton wadding, striking nothing cuming to relit. This bullet,

bullet went through the wrist of a human cadaver, breaking the
distal end of the radius in the same fashion that that hone

The single bullet theory says that one bullet struck the

Curry: Well it would appear to be no uhmm.
Scott: And at thu same, we also have Dr. Malcolm Perry at Parkland
Hospital saying that ho o;Tamiu,-Jd Lhe wound in the Pronients
throat and it was an =trace wound.
Curry: Yes uh uh.
Scott: Which would also suggest that the shot had come from the front.
Curry: Itni not saying that the shot was not fired from here.
Ism sayina we nover Pound anybody that we could conneet with it
Scott: But it, it does suggeot that the evidence...
Curry: Right.
Scott: That we have, in both cases rather strong evidence, that there
was another assassin involved.
Burry: That's right.
JOSIAH THOMPSON, AUTHOR" SIX SECONDS IN DALLAS"
This was an enormously effective and officicnt politien1 etecation.
The Prosidant was shot twice and Governor Connolly van shot onso
all within five seconds. According to the cormission this was
done by a poor porksvan, by a lone individual who was half crazy
apparently. And this was profoundly implausible. A much more
plausible view ie that uh a very efficient execution was
9rranged l.y arranginc a crossfire, in Daly.

SHOTS CA1,2 FRO... ME HARVEY OSWLLU AND HIS RIFLE. THIS
PICTURE WAS USED TO alLF CONVICT =AID IN THE MINDS OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPIE. WHEN OSWALD WAS SHOWN THE PHOTO HE
'SAID INMEMIATELY THAT HIS HEAD HAD EE! PASTED ON SEMSONE'S
ELSE'S BODY. SO WE CONSULTED PHOTOTECHNOLOGISTS AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE IN OTTAWA. THEY TOLD US
THAT THIS PHOTO AND ANOTHER SHOT AT THE SANE TIME BEAT{ THE
EARMARKS, OF HAVING Emu FAKED. THEY NOTED THAT THE SH1D.OdS
FALL IN OCUELICTING DIRECTIOTIS. THE SHADN OF HIS NOSE PALL,
IN ONE LaihGTIOA AND THAT UF HIS BODY IN ANUTHER. THEY
OBSERVED THE PHOTOS WERE MOT FROM A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ANGLE,
A DIWERENT DISTANCE WITH THE GUN IN A DIFFERENT HAND. SO IF
ONE PHOTO IS LAID ON TOP OF TEE OTHER, NOTHING SHOULD MATCH
EXACTLY. YET IMPOSSIBLY WHILE ONE BODY IS RIGGER THAN THE
OTHER, THE HEADS MATCH PERFECTLY, BEARING OUT OSWALD'S CHARGE
THAT HIS HEAD WAS PAETFD ON AN DOMINATING PHOTOGRAPH.

with a rifle....
FEM. DALE SCOTT SHOWED TEE PHOTOS TO CHIEF CURRY WHO HAD
AD4AYS REGARDED THEM AS EVIDENCE OF OSWALD'S GUILT.
Scott: This of course is slightly changed. These are the these
aro the pictures that uh the Dallas police brought in rju,ht?
Curry: Right. Uhmm
Scott: Ilia the reason that we have them hero on trunsparences is so
that we can put the two heads over and well notice that the

Scott.: Put one on top of the other.
Curry:
Yeah.
Scott: You would say that they,the heada are, have you notiocd the
feet here. In one case the feet are still in the photeErnO.
and yet in the other picture the man is auch longer. Tha
feet go out of the photograph.
Curry; I (Janet have any explanation for it myself.
Scott: But supposing this was still a live investigation and you saw.,
Curry: Well, I would be....

whore was a difference here. Yeah.

an unusual man,
CIA Contract Man Gaud t: And uh he didn't have the courago to to follow through on
something as incrediblo as the assassination of Mr. Kennedy.
I think Oswald was nothing more or lens than just a patu
in my hook. That's ;r opinion of Oswald: I think he was a,)ed.
Peter Dale Scott: Do you think he was perhaps being used when ha was in New
Orleana as well?
Gaudet: Oh I'm no question he was being used there.
Scott,: This act of handing out literature was not something that
he wanted to do but something he was told to do. Is that
what you're thinking?

I would assume so. I think it was a bread and butter. I

persrns involved in a conspiracy fcr Kenneay. Leuy
