Finally, who pulled the trigger to kill J. F. Kennedy?

Lee Harvey Oswald was photographed outside the building when JFK drove by and he was buying a coke when the police came to the building. So it is not him, but I think it was his rifle in the TSBD building, and then I though that there is enough information to guess who were the shooters.

Recently Ron Unz wrote two posts of the JFK case and there was a long discussion which I followed with great interest. Many of the commentators seemed really knowledgeable and I learned a number of facts that I had not known. I will list the main items which support the conspiracy theory, some known to me before, some that I recently learned.

1. The Secret Service men were usually standing in the back of the car, but for some strange reason they were pulled off. There is a film where one SS man is waving his hands as if he was confused by the order to pull back.
2. There is a video where the doctor in Parkland hospital, the second doctor to see JFK after the assassination, explains that in his opinion the head shot came from the front and the exit would was in the back. He also explains how the Secret Service took JFK’s body my some force to the Navy hospital, where they made the autopsy.
3. The umbrella man was giving signs.
4. There is a testimony that there was a bullet hole in the window screen, and a photo also.
5. A long list of witnesses for JFK hearings died an unnatural death.
6. Lastly, there is the Dictabelt, of which I trust my own analysis. It showed that Audiograph has been tampered proving the cover-up.

Let us start from my Dictabelt analysis. There are three louder gun shot noises at 52.5s, 55.6s and 58.8s and two less loud ones at 53.2s and 53.8s. The one at 58.8s must be matched with the Zapruder frame 313. Now I match 52.5s with the frame 194. The rest goes linearly and the results are interesting; the less loud noises at 53.2s and 53.8s happen when the limousine is behind the traffic sign. I assume that is when JFK was hit to the back (53.2s) and when Connally was hit (53.8s), but it is not the same gun as with the three louder noises. JFK got a bounced bullet of some fragment to the neck in 55.6s and his hand goes to the neck in the frame 254. This bullet must have been shot from the back to bounce to the neck from the car. I think it is a bounced bullet, since a direct shot to the neck from the back or from the front would go straight through and there would be holes on both sides. It is not the exit would from the shot at the back, since that shot was too low and not deep enough: the bullet stopped to a bone. And then there was a miss at 52.5s. The shooter in the TSBD with a bolt action rifle fired three times: 52.5s, 55.6s and 58.8s. The missed two and made a bulls eye to the head in the last. That made me wonder what happened.

What I think happened is the following. As Oswald was not the lone shooter, it was a conspiracy and this conspiracy had so extensive cover-up that whoever did it was not going to use Oswald as the marksman. Oswald was not a top level sniper. To kill a president you can afford to pay for a professional. There was one top sniper in that area at that time: Lucien Sarti from Corsican mafia. His name has often been given as the man who shot JFK. But there is another candidate, Jean Souetre, who was around that area. Both have a surname starting with S, so let the shooter be S.

Let us assume S. was the shooter in the TSBD. He came to the shooting place and there was a rifle and three bullets ready for him. So, he aimed at JFK but missed. That is odd, as a top sniper would not miss from that distance, but we can be sure that the first shot was a miss. So it is also in the official story.

S. would not miss if the gun was fine, but the gun was not fine. After the assassination a rifle and three casings were found from TSBD. The rifle had incorrectly adjusted sight. Let us assume S. was assured that the sight is correctly adjusted and that he only got the rifle to his hands when he came to the building. It was Oswald’s rifle, naturally, as Oswald was planned as the patsy. Oswald bought the rifle and brought it to the building, but for some reason or another, he did not adjust the sight correctly. I even suspect that he damaged the gun to the extent that the sight could not be adjusted correctly. I think he did so because he guessed that he will be the patsy if JFK is shot dead, and he wanted to make sure that S., or whoever will be the shooter, Oswald probably did not know, will miss all three shots. He must have been disappointed to hear that JFK was killed, not implying that he was a supporter of JFK. He simply did not want to be charged for a murder. That is why he tried to arrange for himself an alibi by buying a coke downstairs.

Sarti missed the first shot. Meanwhile Abraham Zapruder was filming the event. He had placed himself intentionally to a place where the limousine would be hidden behind the traffic sign for the critical frames when the second shooter would try to kill JFK if S. would fail in his first shot. Assuming that S. had succeeded in the first shot or that the second shooter would have succeeded, Zapruder’s film would have been the best evidence against the patsy, Oswald. As we know, JFK was still alive when appearing from behind the traffic sign. He had been shot at the back and Connally had been shot, but both were very much alive. The umbrella man had to make signs, or the dark complexion man next to him. S. tried his second shot at 55.6s, again he missed, though JFK got a bounced bullet or fragment to his neck. But he did not miss the third shot at 58.8s. Zapruder filmed it all, but unfortunately the third shooter put a bullet to JFK’s head immediately after S. fired. This last bullet, at the time 58.9s, caused JFK to fall back and to the side. Then Zapruder’s film had to be buried for a long time since it showed that there was another shooter, firing from the Grassy Knoll.

How do I know that the shooter in the TSBD was S.? It is just that his name has been given often and he was in the area. What is clear is that whoever was the shooter, he made three aimed shots in 6.3s with Oswald’s rifle: 3.1s between the first two and 3.2s between the last two shots. That is very fast for that rifle, possible only for expert shooters. Yet there were two misses. That means that the rifle was Oswald’s rifle and the sight was incorrectly adjusted. It explains why the umbrella man had to make signs: the shooter could not see where he hit as he was looking through a sight and the gun jumps after the shot, but he could see the signs and adjust his aim (not the sight) for the next shot.

I suggest that the second shooter was E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA agent, whom the CIA tried to present as one of the three shooters of JFK and who in his death bead made a confession that he was involved in the JFK assassination. In this confession Hunt said that he was a bench warmer. What is a bench warmer in an assassination? It may mean the warm-up band: if he was the second shooter, he was the first to hit JFK, but he did not kill anybody. The limousine apparently stopped when it was behind the traffic sign. Hunt was not so sure a shooter as S. and the car had to slow down to a stop or almost a stop. The second shooter had an automatic rifle and could fire two shots in 0.6s, but the second one hit Connally. In his confession Hunt named S. as one of the conspirators. S.’s role would have been that of a shooter as he was a hit man. Jean Souetre also used the name Michel Mertz. I take no position to whether S. was Sarti or Souetre.

The candidate for the third shooter is James Files, who confessed having been the shooter at the Grassy Knoll. The told, that he bit the casing and put it standing on the fence. A casing was found later from the ground and it was bitten. The stamp in the casing has been used as a proof that Files’ story is false, as according to drawings of the factory producing the ammunition, such a stamp was approved first in drawings produced after 1963. This can be so, but there is a simple explanation. The factory was moved from one place to another and at that time the production line was inspected. A drawing of the casing with the stamp was changed, but the modification does not have any motivation. It may well be so that the machine produced the same stamp all the time, but in the review it was found that the machine and the drawings did not quite match. Then the drawing was changed to match what the machine produced. That would be the cheapest and most logical fix. Therefore, I do not buy this counterargument. Files may have been the shooter at the Grassy Knoll, or he knew the real shooter and heard the story of biting the casing. The gun was supposed to be Remington Fireball with an explosive mercury bullet. Unfortunately JFKs brain has disappeared, so the possible existence of traces of mercury cannot be verified. One problem in the confession of James Files is that Hunt did not mention him. Possibly Files had simply heard the story of the JFK assassination. Hunt named CIA’s David Moralis as one of the two killers.

This is my scenario. Lucien Sarti died in 1972. E. Howard Hunt died in 2004. James Files is currently 76 years old and alive. The FBI has investigated his confession and found it not credible, so he has nothing to fear about. That means that neither do I have by publishing this post. Fortunately it is an old case by now. But it was a conspiracy and there was a cover-up, a very long time cover-up. Just from the cover-up you can easily figure out who gave the command to assassinate JFK. We talk about vital interests and a critical time. Something was going critical at that time and JFK did not like it.
