#SecretService #JFK #Assassination
source
The same evil lying corrupt regime we are dealing with today
Landis broke his silence not just once, he broke it 5 times. Unfortunately for conspiracy believers, for the first 4 he says he only found a small bullet fragment, not a pristine bullet. A little research actually goes a long way.😊
I believe him. He disclosed this once before but it did not get picked up in the media.
It makes more sense than the magic bullet theory.
But it's strange that he wouldn't say anything about it to his colleagues.
All doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, who were well used to dealing with gunshot wounds, viewed Kennedy's head wound as an entrance wound – coming from the front!! Conspiracy..case closed in my book!!
This makes no sense..he would have been trained to report evidence where found …US Secret Service is very strict in their training and was even then…
60 years later he speaks up……YEA, OK.
THIS AUTHOR IS A JABORONE!!!!
This bullet explains the shallow back wound . There was no S.B.T. through JFK’s neck that Arlen Spector falsely tried to sell to the public while a member of the Warren Commission to explain all the wounds in JFK and Governor Connolly.
This bullet caused the shallow back wound that in the autopsy was stated had no exit . The S.B.T. is 100% false . Do the research yourself . This is no longer a conspiracy , it’s fact. It’s hard to believe but it makes so much sense . The autopsy photos are all false to support the lone gunman theory. All the Doctors and Nurses at Parkland saw a hole in the back of JFK’s head in the right posterior of the head about the size of a baseball or clinched fist . The throat wound was an entrance wound which Dr Perry the emergency trama room doctor found as an entrance wound . He was forced to change his findings by the Warren Commission. Do the research yourself and you’ll find the same results . This was not done by a single assassin.
I wonder if Landis would care to speculate what sort of calibre round would be fired at a distance of 60-100 yards and yet would only have the power or force to penetrate about an inch of flesh in Kennedy’s back and then fall in to the back seat in a pristine condition. This man is mistaken.
Has anybody even bothered to read Paul Landis' statement from November 27, 1963, taken five days after the assassination? In it, Landis says that he picked up a cigarette lighter from the back seat of Kennedy's limo. I think it's possible that he's mis-remembering the incident, and that the cigarette lighter (which would have been made of gold or silver) was the "bullet" that he remembers picking up from the back seat. Why would he wait 60 YEARS to suddenly come out NOW and say, "Oh, by the way, I found a bullet in JFK's car!"-???
Ignoring the fact that it has long been proven through forensics that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter, I have to wonder – why does ANYONE bother with it NOW? The Kennedy assassination happened 6O YEARS AGO! Even if there WAS a conspiracy, no one will ever uncover it. least of all YOU, reader! Because even if it were proven that there was a conspiracy, NO ONE WOULD EVER BELIEVE IT! If someone found any actual evidence that the CIA was behind it, someone else would say, "No, it was the Mafia!" "No, it was the Cubans!" "No, it was the government of Lichtenstein that killed JFK!"
The actual truth is there. It's been proven through forensics that Oswald acted alone. But no one wants to accept the truth, because the conspiracy theories are more FUN!
GET A LIFE, PEOPLE!
Do you know how dumb this is? Okay so the first bullet missed. Bullet two hits Kennedy in the back and just falls out of his back. Bullet 3 hits Kennedy in the throat. Bullet 4 hits Connaly. And bullet 5 hits Kennedy in the head but there were only 3 shots and Oswald did it lol.
I never felt Oswald acted alone.The Kennedys were after the mafia and I personally think the FBI Director covered things to protect himself. I do not believe the same bullet hit President JFK and then lodged in Gov. Connelly. These are my personal thoughts.
It's simple math–one bullet, plus one bullet, plus one bullet, plus one bullet equals three bullets, ergo Oswald is a lone nut.
I bet if Landis had told you, Robenalt, that he voted for Trump, you wouldn't have written his book for him.
B.S.. Even if he's not fabricating a story I would not trust his or anyone else's 60 year old memories of anything. Especially something that has had so much coverage.
everybody knows that ted cruz' daddy killed kennedy
Our government lied to us about Kennedy's assassination, they lied to us about 911, they lied to us about the Hunter laptop, they are lying to us about the Ukraine war (Russia dominating), there was a peace agreement in place back in March/April 2023 which the Biden team went in an blew up, Biden didn't want peace in Ukraine.
"Rampant conspiracies" only because the government refuses to level with the people, and covers-up its evil deeds! That's why there are "rampant conspiracies!" Think of: Pearl Harbor (government knew it would be there, cracked their code months before), Kennedy's murder, Vietnam War lying, MLKs murder, Robert Kennedy's murder, Kent State (OH) murders, Watergate cover-up, Iran-Contra lie and cover-up, 9/11 lies and cover-up, Iraq War (2 of them), Afghanistan, etc., etc., etc. One big lie should have been enough, but the people keep making excuses, refusing to face the facts uncovered by courageous amateurs and professional reporting on mountains of evidence. How many lies does it take to STOP the naive, childlike view of the federal government? How many?
The mob could not find a more ideal location for a hit. With 3 or 4 shooters, it couldn't fail. Then a government cover-up to shield the public from the truth of their long-term involvement with the mob to assassinate heads of state.
Well, that old man is a real big liar.
If you're actually seeking the truth of what happened 'JFK and the Unspeakable' by Douglass and 'Last Word' by Lane are two great books on the topic.
I am hard pressed to imagine how a bullet fired from a gun could possibly come to a stop without deformation. I have enough familiarity with ballistics to realize that really cannot happen. A bullet hitting a down ski jacket will deform. The velocity is just so great and the bullet is designed to deform. Thats why its made of lead. (The guy said brass but he was mistaken – bullets are lead with copper jackets)
I don’t bring this up to cast doubt on this guys story but rather to just clarify the fact that bullets don’t just stop without deforming. And they deform a lot. So assuming this story is truthful – what could that tell us?
The fact that this guy is rung up the NBC flagpole tells you all the (lies) you need to know. Not worth your attention
Ive researched JFK and his assassination for over 35 years. I read many things on S.S agent Paul Landis and i believe his words, the last words before he passes. Thankyou Paul Landis who loved JFK and Jackie.
He just wants to sell his BOOK. It’s all about MONEY!
Who buys this story an reasons for waiting so long. A Secret Service Agent removing evidence from a crime scene? Especially one of this magnitude? He's selling a fuc**** book. Even the condition of the bullet is likewise unbelievable.
Why hasn't the president's body been exhumed and his wounds reexamined? Who put Oswald up to shooting JFK? All this "confession" amounts to in my opinion is a distraction.
That’s wild. He just killed the magic bullet theory but he still thinks Oswald acted alone???? How?
He's selling a book, and Iike a lot of people who sold books based on JFK. The truth doesn't matter. IF there is any truth to what he is saying. He found the bullet on the jump seat and he's mistaken. He basically is admitting to tampering with evidence and staying quiet about it for about 60 years. More than likely he's just making it all up. The only real question is, Does he believe it?
Too bad you didn't explain what significance this extra bullet has. I guess you have to be immersed in the Kennedy assassination to understand.
5 minutes and 47 seconds before we get to hear the guy talk. NBC, it's OK to tighten up the intro.
Mr. Landis's account, if it is accurate, would not necessarily weaken the lone gunman and magic bullet theories. So, his remark at the end of the NBC interview, that he still thinks Oswald was the lone gunman, is reasonable. Two bullets caused injury/death: 1) Several ballistics and medical experts concluded that the so-called magic bullet that hit the President in the back and exited his neck still could have hit Gov. Connally. 2) The bullet that ultimately killed the President entered the back right side of his head. The bullet that somehow ended up on Gov. Connally's stretcher was nearly pristine. It was likely the first bullet that Oswald's rifle fired, the shot that missed. This conclusion is backed up by documents and findings in the National Archives. I also recommend that people who would like to read more of a scholarly assessment of the evidence read Larry Sabato's book, The Kennedy Half Century.
Yall are lyimg slaves
So the magic bullet aint so magic we have us a conspiracy, Warren commission is part of the conspiracy. That meens the government is part of the conspiracy
The magic bullet, did not pass through any people (no damage, no blood or tissue traces) so what does it matter where it was planted..oh i mean found? It sounds like another disinformation scheme to get people to chase their tails and ultimately will be "debunked" leading to a stronger assertion that there "was no conspiracy" BS.
He never thought about it? Sounds strange to me.
If Lee Harvey Oswald isn't the shooter than it's just a coincidence that he deleted a Dallas police officer soon after the incident and then fled to the theater in which he was detained at. These are facts people
Garbage
So the CIA killed him?
What makes it ironic is that I found a life magazine from December 1963 at my thrift store today… And JFK and Jackie 70th wedding anniversary is today…
ALL of the doctors who tended to President Kennedy, first at Parkland Hospital all new he was shot from the front and had the back of his occipital parietal blown out. Pieces of his cerebellum fell out on the table.
I am currently reading Reclaiming History by Vincent Buglosi. Amazing book. Especially the chapter on Oswald. Oswald acted alone. There's a preponderance of evidence that implicates him. Why he did it no one will really know. My guess is he did it to "be somebody"
In the research documentary JFK: The Smoking Gun 2013 (based on the book: Mortal Error The Shot That Killed JFK by Bonar Menninger), a very interesting possibility is suggested, based on forensic, ballistic and recovered evidence of what the Secret Service agents assigned that day were doing. It suggests that they were involved in a plot to cover up their on errors on the day of the assassination, and protect an agent that discharged an ArmaLite AR-15 that was being carried in the Secret Service "follow" car that was directly behind the president's car. I think that this "new" evidence only proves that the agents assigned were willing to distract and redirect the investigation away from their own lethal goof up on that day. I recommend checking this well made documentary. It is a lot more convincing than the nonsense reported here. There were indeed two shooters on Nov 22, 1963 – Lee Harvey Oswald and Secret Service agent Goof-up named George Hickey. And there indeed was a conspiracy to cover up the Secret Service's deadly blunder.
"Seeming to ricochet inside his body". What a ridiculous statement.
He sound like Kefe D
