The JFK Assassination: Debunking the Myth of Multiple Snipers

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, is one of the most closely examined and controversial events in American history. The official report from the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, was the sole shooter. However, numerous theories and evidence challenge this narrative, suggesting the presence of multiple snipers. This article explores the various perspectives and evidence that support or dispute the idea of multiple snipers.

Official Warrent Commission Report vs. Conspiracy Theories

The official report from the Warren Commission, supported by the FBI and CIA, concluded that only one sniper fired the shots that killed President Kennedy. According to the report, there were 16 synchronized shots fired, with the last shot coming from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. This conclusion has been widely accepted and taught in history books.

Despite this official narrative, a significant portion of the population believes that the true story is more complex. Many conspiracy theorists argue that there were multiple snipers involved in the assassination. They believe that the presence of additional snipers could explain the series of shots and the trajectory of the bullets.

What the Evidence Suggests

The belief in multiple snipers is supported by several pieces of evidence and theories. For example, some argue that the structure of Dealey Plaza, particularly the grassy knoll and the Dal-Tex building, provided multiple vantage points. These locations could have been used by multiple snipers, making it difficult for officials to identify the true shooter(s).

There are also suggestions that two or more shots were fired from the Texas School Book Depository, but they missed the target. This could explain why there were no additional bodies found in the depository building.

Government Officials and Testimonies

One of the most compelling pieces of evidence supporting the idea of additional snipers comes from government officials. According to a relative of the author, who is a high-ranking intelligence member, they have access to four enhanced 8mm movies that show three additional shooters, besides Lee Harvey Oswald. These movies, created by the government, have not been widely circulated, leading many to speculate about their existence and authenticity.

The official reports dismiss the testimonies of two witnesses who claimed to see Lee Harvey Oswald in the lunchroom, drinking a Coke, during the time the shooting occurred. These witnesses were dismissed due to the official narrative, but the existence of enhanced movies suggests they might have been telling the truth.

The CIA and the JFK Assassination

Another critical aspect of the conspiracy theories involves the role of the CIA in the assassination and the broader context of American politics. It has been alleged that the CIA trained two hit teams for months, specifically targeting President Kennedy. The belief is that Kennedy’s actions, such as withdrawing troops from Vietnam and reducing subsidies to major oil companies, upset powerful interests within the government and business sectors.

The movie utive Action (1973) provides a chilling account of the events leading up to and immediately following the assassination. The film features testimony from numerous eye-witnesses, many of whom presented evidence of multiple shooters, including photos and 8mm camera footage. This documentary, while controversial, offers a perspective that challenges the official narrative.

Many also point out that the FBI and the CIA have a long history of corruption, which casts doubt on their versions of events. The current administration, according to some, is even more corrupt than previous ones, as evidenced by the way they control information and suppress critical documentaries.

Conclusion

The JFK assassination remains a subject of intense debate and speculation. While the official narrative of a lone gunman holds sway, the existence of multiple shooters remains a possibility, driven by evidence and testimonies that challenge this narrative. As we continue to explore and question the events of that tragic day, it is essential to consider all the perspectives and evidence available to form our own conclusions.
