More Questions about the Kennedy Assassination

July 29, 2024 By Richard C. Young

Sen. John F. Kennedy visting Oak Ridge National Lab. 2-24-1959.

In light of the recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, renewed scrutiny is being given to past assassinations and assassination attempts of American presidents. At LewRockwell.com, John Leo Keenan discusses the possibility that President John F. Kennedy was shot by additional assassins who used silenced rifles after the signal of Lee Harvey Oswald’s unsilenced rifle had rung out. He writes:

I wrote last year an article on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. I described in detail how the silenced rifles were used.  All the shots that didn’t miss their victims are shown by the Zapruder film.  It’s one-hundred percent certain that silenced rifles were used in the assassination of the president on 11/22/63, together with regular rifles.

In the film, we see the governor’s body being shaken by an impact right after the traffic sign, by what we think is a bullet shot.  However, he described being hit on the back just as we see in the film, more than two seconds after this moment, so we need to understand why his body was shaken like that right after the traffic sign.  Listening to Connally’s testimony before the House Select Committee (1978), it seemed to me that he had confused memories of when he was shot.  It was perhaps just a momentary confusion, but it made me decide I should not postpone any longer finding out why his body was shaken in that way (in the 227-244 frames range).

I looked at these frames, and I noticed that in frame 225 his right hand was down, but that in frame 226 his right fist suddenly surfaced.  He had heard the first shot and was reacting to it.  He was hit on the wrist in that second (frame 227).  Only a silenced shot could have caused this wound, a shot whose effect is seen in frame 227.  It’s how I learned not only why his body was shaken in that way, but that he had been hit on his wrist by a silenced shot.

I identified later the precise moment of the first rifle shot, and it may be another contribution of that article; I think so.  What led me to identify the precise moment of the first shot, a shot we can also notice in the Zapruder film (all the shots that struck both men are visible in the film), was reading Jacqueline Kennedy’s Warren Commission testimony.  She described a headshot before the final headshot seen in frame 313.

As I read her description of a headshot effect occurring several seconds prior to the moment all know as the last shot fired against the president, I thought that, indeed, the first shot must have been aimed at the head and not the upper back and, due to what she described, I looked for it in the Zapruder film.  It did not take long to notice exactly when the president was hit by the first rifle shot on the head.  It happened right before he disappeared behind the traffic sign.

I refer the reader to the aforesaid article for a more detailed description of her testimony and the first rifle shot.  The correct identification of the moment the first shot was fired is very important because it then facilitates the understanding of how the silenced weapons were used.  The governor was hit on his wrist slightly less than two seconds after the president was first hit (and we know that the last two loud shots came only about a second apart).

The second loud shot hit the governor in the back (close to the right armpit) and his left thigh.  The third and last loud shot proves by itself that Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy, because it was an explosive bullet which certainly the first bullet wasn’t.  The effects of both were as different as anyone can tell.  President Johnson and Senator Yarborough also described the rifle sounds as sounding like small bombs and explosions.  We know the last rifle shot was like that.

We don’t know exactly how many silenced shots were fired, just like we don’t know exactly how many shooters there were but, from what we see happened right after the traffic sign, we know that there were no less than two or three silenced shots, so no less than two silenced rifle shooters; I think that three silenced shots struck them: I see the president being hit twice by the assassins then, and the governor hit on his wrist almost simultaneously and in-between the two times I see the president being hit by silenced shots.  All shots right after the traffic sign were silenced shots.

It is clear that the silenced rifle shooters had the order to shoot at the sound of the first loud shot to fire under its cover and not be detected.  They were detected thanks to the Zapruder film.  We can and should be sure that none of the assassins in Dealey Plaza knew their crime was being filmed by Abraham Zapruder.  It’s important to know this not just to understand, but also to judge all.

Kennedy was struck by the first rifle shot at frame 199 in the video below.His right hand did not move much from the height in which it was when he was struck by the first rifle shot.  We had lost him then.  He emerges from the sign with the same lost expression.  The silent shots happened in frames 224-245, and the last two loud shots in frames 294-313.
