Welcome to Why Is It So. I'm Paul, and today I have a guest with me to discuss
00:00:09.717 --> 00:00:11.997
what happened 65 years ago.
00:00:13.077 --> 00:00:16.937
In 1963, John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
00:00:17.317 --> 00:00:22.737
There have been a number of assassinations in the US, and even more attempts.
00:00:23.057 --> 00:00:26.917
But the Kennedy one still stands out more than any other.
00:00:27.817 --> 00:00:34.137
My guest is a man by the name of Jack Moore, who has been fascinated with the
00:00:34.137 --> 00:00:37.377
Kennedy assassination for over 40 years.
00:00:37.737 --> 00:00:42.837
And now that the Warren Commission report, which has been archived for 60 years,
00:00:42.997 --> 00:00:48.297
has been released to the public, he has read most of what has been released.
00:00:48.597 --> 00:00:53.517
Not all of the reports, some sections remained in lockup.
00:00:54.117 --> 00:00:59.697
Jack Moore is a retired professor at college level who has been to Dealey Plaza
00:00:59.697 --> 00:01:04.817
in Texas, the scene of the assassination, uncountable times over the years.
00:01:05.117 --> 00:01:08.657
But not only that, he did his thesis on the subject.
00:01:09.157 --> 00:01:15.537
You can find him on podcasts as Moore to Consider, website by the same name,
00:01:15.717 --> 00:01:17.997
and on YouTube and ex-social media.
00:01:18.357 --> 00:01:23.657
He certainly has the qualifications to tell us who killed John F.K.
00:01:24.017 --> 00:01:29.297
So let me introduce you to Jack now. Good morning, Jack. Thank you for giving us your time.
00:01:29.857 --> 00:01:35.777
Yes, sir. And we're back here to see you. You're going to tell us a story about who really killed JFK.
00:01:35.957 --> 00:01:40.517
I believe you're quite an expert at it. You've been working on it pretty hard for a long time.
00:01:40.997 --> 00:01:47.737
Yes, I grew up in Virginia, and I was a year and a half when it happened. I was born in 1962.
00:01:48.877 --> 00:01:51.617
So my earliest memories of having
00:01:51.617 --> 00:01:57.177
any concern about it or interest was my mother voted for Nixon in 1960.
00:01:57.637 --> 00:02:02.897
And she read a lot of history. My dad, I wouldn't say was so much into politics,
00:02:03.077 --> 00:02:04.377
but he was into history as well.
00:02:04.977 --> 00:02:10.157
But my mother cut out all the newspaper clippings and she bought all the books
00:02:10.157 --> 00:02:11.877
that came out during the assassination.
00:02:12.417 --> 00:02:16.717
So as a kid, I'm looking through all this i mean five six years old i'm into
00:02:16.717 --> 00:02:23.257
this and as the years went on i pretty much as a teenager in high school.
00:02:24.066 --> 00:02:28.886
Influenced by Mark Lane, and most of the assassination limits to that were conspiracy
00:02:28.886 --> 00:02:32.006
oriented, believed it was clearly a conspiracy.
00:02:32.306 --> 00:02:39.946
I bought that the single bullet theory didn't make sense because it was that same mantra always.
00:02:40.346 --> 00:02:43.846
Bullets don't do that. Bullets don't pass through human beings.
00:02:44.006 --> 00:02:46.806
And as the years went on, and I
00:02:46.806 --> 00:02:49.766
started with help that brought out what
00:02:49.766 --> 00:02:53.046
a lot of the conspiracy people left out but
00:02:53.046 --> 00:02:56.146
the one citizen may have gotten correct i was
00:02:56.146 --> 00:02:58.866
convinced that's a period of time that it's
00:02:58.866 --> 00:03:04.326
more likely that oswald did do the shooting it was a single shooter a big part
00:03:04.326 --> 00:03:10.386
of that for me was the first time i went to dealy plaza i was 28 1990 and i
00:03:10.386 --> 00:03:15.186
go down there and i remember coming down houston and boom there's there's elm
00:03:15.186 --> 00:03:16.966
street and there's School Book Depository,
00:03:16.966 --> 00:03:19.366
and I see it. So I go into the parking area.
00:03:19.526 --> 00:03:26.486
They had just opened the sixth floor museum there, and I got a chance to go onto the sixth floor.
00:03:26.726 --> 00:03:32.386
So if anybody doesn't know this, the Texas School Book Depository was a building
00:03:32.386 --> 00:03:36.946
that originally burned in 19... I'm sorry, I think it was 1899,
00:03:36.946 --> 00:03:40.986
and then in 1903, they rebuilt the building on that site.
00:03:41.584 --> 00:03:47.164
It was a seven-story building, and it was the school book depository.
00:03:47.324 --> 00:03:52.444
So some of the publishers of school books were in-house at this facility,
00:03:52.504 --> 00:03:56.724
and many of the books just came in, and they were shipped out to Texas schools.
00:03:56.884 --> 00:04:01.584
So it was a warehouse-slash-type-of-business-type-of-building.
00:04:01.804 --> 00:04:07.524
So after the assassination, it remained the Texas school book depository for a few years.
00:04:07.524 --> 00:04:10.424
Then it kind of fell on hard times as a building
00:04:10.424 --> 00:04:13.164
and there was a movement to take it
00:04:13.164 --> 00:04:16.164
down in dallas and a lot of people just wanted to erase
00:04:16.164 --> 00:04:21.504
the memory of the assassination a group of people came in and said from the
00:04:21.504 --> 00:04:26.344
doubt from the dallas historical society you can't get rid of this building
00:04:26.344 --> 00:04:30.864
it's too much historical impact so the agreement that we came they came up with
00:04:30.864 --> 00:04:36.124
was They would put a museum on the sixth floor and also have control of the seventh floor.
00:04:36.284 --> 00:04:41.724
And the bottom five floors, as sort of a trade-off with the city of Dallas and
00:04:41.724 --> 00:04:45.584
the county of Dallas, was to use that for government office space.
00:04:45.964 --> 00:04:52.644
So if you entered the old entrance on Elm Street, the main entrance on Elm Street,
00:04:52.804 --> 00:04:55.364
you would go into the city control part of it.
00:04:55.364 --> 00:05:01.364
And what they did was put a bookstore and a reception area, basically.
00:05:01.804 --> 00:05:05.064
On the back side of what was the original back side of the building.
00:05:05.364 --> 00:05:09.284
Then they constructed an elevator on the back side of the building.
00:05:09.284 --> 00:05:13.364
So when you came in and got your ticket, you could move around there in the
00:05:13.364 --> 00:05:14.704
bookstore if you wanted to.
00:05:14.924 --> 00:05:18.384
But when you bought your ticket and you were in another group going up.
00:05:18.884 --> 00:05:23.904
You were basically going into an elevator and riding on what originally was
00:05:23.904 --> 00:05:25.004
where the building stood.
00:05:25.364 --> 00:05:29.264
You're riding up the backside of the building and in through what would have
00:05:29.264 --> 00:05:33.324
been a back window to the sixth floor on the backside of the building. All right.
00:05:33.504 --> 00:05:37.264
And then you, you entered there and that's where you entered and came into the
00:05:37.264 --> 00:05:40.204
sixth floor museum. So I go up there for the first time.
00:05:40.864 --> 00:05:46.004
My dad passed away four years ago, age of 92. He was military law enforcement.
00:05:46.544 --> 00:05:51.064
He had 2010 eyesight. He had been quite the marksman with the .45,
00:05:51.144 --> 00:05:55.364
the 1911 .45 caliber pistol that was an Army issue.
00:05:55.604 --> 00:06:00.124
Well, really it's a military grade or military issue weapon for officers.
00:06:00.464 --> 00:06:04.884
He fired that one. He fired every type of rifle that he had in his era as well.
00:06:04.964 --> 00:06:06.124
He was drafted during Korea.
00:06:06.364 --> 00:06:09.484
So we grew up on the sixth floor together. and for
00:06:09.484 --> 00:06:12.324
my I mean the impact of this for me for the first time I'm
00:06:12.324 --> 00:06:15.144
not a marksman I have great eyesight or at least I did but
00:06:15.144 --> 00:06:18.224
I you know I wasn't a marksman I've handled some firearms
00:06:18.224 --> 00:06:23.064
but not many and not at any type of level but I'm in the window and I'm like
00:06:23.064 --> 00:06:28.284
man that's the shot because as I watch cars enter Elm Street and move towards
00:06:28.284 --> 00:06:32.764
the triple underpass I felt like I could have thrown a rock and killed it so
00:06:32.764 --> 00:06:37.344
there was a there was a lot of distortion I had a Marine on months ago sweet guy, nice guy.
00:06:37.884 --> 00:06:41.604
And he was talking about how it was impossible to pull off the shooting.
00:06:41.844 --> 00:06:45.064
And I said, well, sir, what do you think was the distance at the headshot?
00:06:45.184 --> 00:06:47.284
He goes, oh, I don't know, 150, 200 yards.
00:06:47.844 --> 00:06:51.904
Like, no, it was 88 yards at the headshot. It was 51 at the body shot.
00:06:52.004 --> 00:06:57.924
If you agree with or by the single bullet theory, the distance was 150 odd feet.
00:06:58.144 --> 00:07:00.744
He goes, are you kidding? And I'm like, no.
00:07:01.064 --> 00:07:06.384
So it's 51 yards at the body shot and 88 yards at the head shots.
00:07:06.504 --> 00:07:09.624
So when I was in that window, so I looked at my dad and I said,
00:07:09.704 --> 00:07:11.344
given your military background training.
00:07:12.003 --> 00:07:15.103
What do you think he goes that guy's pretty subtle shot that that's
00:07:15.103 --> 00:07:18.003
not anything any really you know and
00:07:18.003 --> 00:07:20.823
it is a bolt action rifle we can get into the timing because there's
00:07:20.823 --> 00:07:23.843
a lot of that too yeah but at that point in my
00:07:23.843 --> 00:07:28.123
late 20s into the time i wrote my thesis which i completed at the age of 31
00:07:28.123 --> 00:07:34.403
i was more and more convinced that oswald did it but as i wrote in my thesis
00:07:34.403 --> 00:07:38.523
one of my thesis advisors is still alive he's 100 years old he's a world war
00:07:38.523 --> 00:07:41.023
ii veteran william whitehurst Loved the man.
00:07:41.183 --> 00:07:44.803
He was 18 years in Congress, and he was at Old Dominion University in Norfolk,
00:07:44.903 --> 00:07:45.983
Virginia, where I finished.
00:07:46.483 --> 00:07:50.383
And he was like establishment guy. And he said, you know, Jack,
00:07:50.503 --> 00:07:54.483
I really love where your thesis was going, but man, you hit it to your bets at the end.
00:07:54.563 --> 00:07:56.883
You didn't seem to really follow through on Oswald.
00:07:57.423 --> 00:08:01.563
And I said, yeah, because I'm not sure he didn't do it for someone else.
00:08:01.703 --> 00:08:06.203
I'm not sure he wasn't government dirty, some type of agency dirty,
00:08:06.203 --> 00:08:09.183
sylvia dirty something doesn't seem
00:08:09.183 --> 00:08:12.243
right about how he entered in this position
00:08:12.243 --> 00:08:17.883
but i do believe he did it oswald wasn't really a sharp shooting type by the
00:08:17.883 --> 00:08:21.903
look of him he didn't look like a a sharp shooter he sort of looked like a guy
00:08:21.903 --> 00:08:27.383
just off the well here's a here's a problem with a lot of that i work in professional
00:08:27.383 --> 00:08:29.623
baseball a lot i work with a lot of baseball players.
00:08:30.543 --> 00:08:33.403
And in doing that i'm using this analogy or
00:08:33.403 --> 00:08:36.163
this comparison a lot of people have played
00:08:36.163 --> 00:08:39.003
baseball so they can go to a game at a major
00:08:39.003 --> 00:08:41.863
league or triple a level or professional level and they see a fly
00:08:41.863 --> 00:08:46.143
ball get caught like hell i did that with a leg and i did this and all and they
00:08:46.143 --> 00:08:50.823
look at people throwing an average major league fastball now and the majors
00:08:50.823 --> 00:08:56.383
is picked up to about 94 miles per hour if i set you at the plate and you saw
00:08:56.383 --> 00:08:59.983
that you'd go like whoa i i I have no idea it looked like that up here.
00:09:00.103 --> 00:09:05.803
My point is the number of people who can throw a baseball 90 miles per hour.
00:09:05.943 --> 00:09:11.983
If I put my fingers from here to here on the screen, it's that many can do that, can do that.
00:09:12.343 --> 00:09:18.783
So, and by the same token, Oswald fired for qualification twice in the Marine Corps.
00:09:19.203 --> 00:09:23.923
So expert is top. And then it's marksman and sharpshooter. He qualified the
00:09:23.923 --> 00:09:25.023
first time as a marksman.
00:09:25.323 --> 00:09:29.643
He missed expert. And the last time when he's on his way out and doesn't particularly
00:09:29.643 --> 00:09:34.743
care, he scores a 191, which puts him in the lowest grade of qualification.
00:09:35.003 --> 00:09:38.823
But he qualifies with a 212 and later a 191.
00:09:39.063 --> 00:09:45.283
There was a sergeant in the Marine Corps who was a sergeant in charge of training
00:09:45.283 --> 00:09:47.823
of marksmen on the ranges.
00:09:48.823 --> 00:09:51.863
But in front of the warning commission, like, sir, what does that mean?
00:09:52.541 --> 00:09:57.101
And he goes, that means kind of the same analogy. He may not be the hardest
00:09:57.101 --> 00:10:00.461
thrower in the major leagues, but he's a major leaguer.
00:10:00.601 --> 00:10:06.321
He's a guy who is trained to the degree that he qualifies as a Marine on the
00:10:06.321 --> 00:10:10.141
range, firing from 200 to 400 to 600 yards.
00:10:10.341 --> 00:10:14.661
They're hitting targets up to 600 yards. So while he may not have been the best
00:10:14.661 --> 00:10:19.461
Marine, if I take a guy off the street that doesn't have his training,
00:10:19.741 --> 00:10:22.101
he's much better than that guy. Yeah.
00:10:22.361 --> 00:10:26.181
So he gets poo-pooed a lot. I mean, a lot of people that take shots now,
00:10:26.401 --> 00:10:28.441
hey, wasn't that great a marksman as a Marine?
00:10:29.021 --> 00:10:33.841
Well, that's not what the score indicated. The score indicated he was at least
00:10:33.841 --> 00:10:36.241
an average marksman in the Marine Corps.
00:10:36.621 --> 00:10:40.701
Yeah. And so you're hitting targets at great distances within,
00:10:40.701 --> 00:10:44.981
you know, eight to 10 inches hitting targets at that kind of range.
00:10:45.221 --> 00:10:49.961
And then the headshot was 88 yards, well within that distance.
00:10:50.161 --> 00:10:52.421
And let me say something else about that.
00:10:52.901 --> 00:10:56.661
Until you're in Dealey Plaza, you don't realize how small it is.
00:10:56.841 --> 00:11:00.321
The number one thing everyone's saying, like, oh my gosh, I didn't realize it's
00:11:00.321 --> 00:11:04.101
this tiny little area that makes up Dealey Plaza.
00:11:04.621 --> 00:11:09.201
Down the street, Main Street, Commerce, and all the area leading down to the triple underpass.
00:11:09.621 --> 00:11:14.801
The other thing about when you get in that window, you recognize when you stand
00:11:14.801 --> 00:11:20.701
up on Houston Street and look at the triple underpass, it looks almost level to you.
00:11:20.921 --> 00:11:26.641
If you look at the railroad bridge above the highway, it looks almost to level
00:11:26.641 --> 00:11:33.521
because the street goes down at a three-degree declination. It declines at three degrees.
00:11:33.741 --> 00:11:39.261
So when you get in the window and you watch cars get into the center lane,
00:11:39.581 --> 00:11:43.601
going out of Dealey Plaza on Elm into the triple underpass.
00:11:44.214 --> 00:11:48.834
If you were trying to train a rifle on a target within that vehicle,
00:11:49.094 --> 00:11:53.354
you can imagine if the vehicle went away from you on level ground,
00:11:53.574 --> 00:11:57.914
you would have to be training the rifle as it went away from you.
00:11:58.054 --> 00:12:00.434
You'd have to be pulling the rifle up with it.
00:12:00.594 --> 00:12:09.034
But if a car goes out away from you and down, it seems to level, almost becomes still.
00:12:09.034 --> 00:12:14.234
So when I was in that window and I was watching cars get into that lane and
00:12:14.234 --> 00:12:18.434
move away, they seem to sit standing. They are almost standing still.
00:12:19.094 --> 00:12:26.534
So now he also had a four power scope, 88 yards through a four power scope becomes 22 yards.
00:12:26.734 --> 00:12:32.054
If you stand 22 yards from something, you're like, I don't see how I could possibly miss that target.
00:12:32.334 --> 00:12:36.554
Now, whether he, whether he used the scope or the iron sights, we'll never know.
00:12:36.554 --> 00:12:39.254
But i think it was achievable through the
00:12:39.254 --> 00:12:42.034
iron sights alone but clearly the
00:12:42.034 --> 00:12:45.354
scope would have aided now the scope was misaligned
00:12:45.354 --> 00:12:49.914
upon discovery and i was teaching a college class several years ago and i had
00:12:49.914 --> 00:12:55.054
a lot of kids in there that would hunt and i asked them if you dropped a rifle
00:12:55.054 --> 00:12:59.794
with a scope on it would that misalign the scope and they're like almost certainly
00:12:59.794 --> 00:13:02.934
so when on Wall's leaving the shooting scene,
00:13:03.134 --> 00:13:09.074
he throws or places or somehow puts the rifles in between boxes.
00:13:09.434 --> 00:13:14.094
I think in this case, to get out there, it is very likely that he dropped it
00:13:14.094 --> 00:13:18.954
in between the boxes. If he did, when it was discovered, the scope very well
00:13:18.954 --> 00:13:20.094
could have been misaligned.
00:13:20.414 --> 00:13:25.534
Do I know with certainty that it was aligned at the time of the shooting? No, I don't.
00:13:25.994 --> 00:13:29.634
Do I know that it was misaligned when he tossed the rifle? No, I don't.
00:13:29.774 --> 00:13:33.114
But I think it's a reasonable explanation because many people looked at the
00:13:33.114 --> 00:13:37.974
rifle and said, oh, the scope is misaligned. How can he possibly have pulled off the shooting?
00:13:38.570 --> 00:13:41.530
I don't know that that's not a reasonable explanation. There's haste to get
00:13:41.530 --> 00:13:44.710
out of there. He didn't toss the rifle on the way out. But who knows? Yeah.
00:13:45.290 --> 00:13:50.630
You sound like you're sort of a believer that Oswald actually was the shooter.
00:13:51.170 --> 00:13:54.950
Absolutely. Weren't there three shots fired? It was reported.
00:13:55.570 --> 00:14:00.030
There were fired, you know, two others. Now, where was that? Listen, listen.
00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:05.070
Well, I'll tell you something else, too. In teaching the class, I made this point.
00:14:05.170 --> 00:14:09.790
And I run it out there in front of a lot of people. but it's not for shock value
00:14:09.790 --> 00:14:12.670
and I'm no tough guy at all. And I'll explain that in this.
00:14:12.870 --> 00:14:17.070
I'll ask a lot of my students when I teach, have you ever witnessed a shooting?
00:14:17.190 --> 00:14:21.110
And I'll get one in 50 that maybe has witnessed an actual shooting.
00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:25.490
It happened to me one night in Richmond, Virginia. I was waiting on a young
00:14:25.490 --> 00:14:27.130
lady to come to a movie theater.
00:14:27.390 --> 00:14:30.370
She worked in a place. I was leaving a place. I said, Hey, I'll meet you to
00:14:30.370 --> 00:14:32.110
the theater, get a ticket. We'll go watch a movie.
00:14:32.510 --> 00:14:38.230
So I'm standing out. There's eight glass doors, four double doors of glass in
00:14:38.230 --> 00:14:39.230
the front of this building.
00:14:39.450 --> 00:14:44.550
And it's like eight theater or eight screens in this theater house.
00:14:44.690 --> 00:14:47.850
And I'm standing out front waiting for her. And I hear pop.
00:14:48.090 --> 00:14:52.730
And I'm like, that's a pistol. I know that's a pistol shot. It's coming from the lobby.
00:14:52.910 --> 00:14:56.490
So I turned to the right and this kid runs right by me.
00:14:56.810 --> 00:15:00.890
And I went, huh, son of a gun. There goes a kid running by. And then as I trained
00:15:00.890 --> 00:15:05.290
my eyes on him, leaving to my left, from right to left, I heard pop.
00:15:05.550 --> 00:15:09.330
And I went, wow, now I know why the kid's running. Because the kid behind him
00:15:09.330 --> 00:15:10.770
has a gun and he's firing at it.
00:15:10.970 --> 00:15:15.930
Now this passed by me and I will swear, in all likelihood, he didn't even see
00:15:15.930 --> 00:15:18.150
me. He passed by me four feet tops.
00:15:18.450 --> 00:15:23.130
And he ended up in the parking lot. Next thing I know, 10 police cars,
00:15:23.330 --> 00:15:27.450
blue lights are going, sirens are wailing, and they catch the kid at the end of the lot.
00:15:28.046 --> 00:15:31.146
So I stand there for a minute thinking, maybe the cops are going to come up
00:15:31.146 --> 00:15:34.226
and ask me what I saw. But I would make this point to the student.
00:15:34.586 --> 00:15:38.626
If you ask me to this day, I still have a vivid memory of parts of it.
00:15:38.866 --> 00:15:41.486
How many shots were fired? I'm like, at least two.
00:15:42.066 --> 00:15:47.406
The one in the lobby and the one outside. Did he fire a third shot? I don't know. Maybe.
00:15:47.866 --> 00:15:52.526
Could I have picked a shooter out of a lineup? Hell no. Could I have picked a guy running? No.
00:15:52.786 --> 00:15:56.986
I just know they were both young. Turned out it was a 16-year-old kid that came
00:15:56.986 --> 00:15:59.246
to the theater and thought the other kid was with his girlfriend.
00:15:59.406 --> 00:16:00.686
He brought a gun. That's what happened.
00:16:00.906 --> 00:16:04.766
But if you had told me what were the sequence of shots, no idea.
00:16:05.106 --> 00:16:10.086
And if people are honest with themselves, they have no idea what the timing sequence is.
00:16:10.366 --> 00:16:13.146
They rarely, really know where the shots are coming from.
00:16:13.766 --> 00:16:17.106
They're in a state of confusion. Now, you think of 1963.
00:16:17.766 --> 00:16:21.606
Other than Oswald, probably no one else, or maybe someone else,
00:16:21.606 --> 00:16:25.046
we'll never know, was there that knew the shooting was going to start.
00:16:25.226 --> 00:16:29.626
So Yellow Pop, the vast majority of witnesses said they thought it was a firecracker.
00:16:29.946 --> 00:16:33.186
Then when Kennedy began to show distress or his head explode,
00:16:33.346 --> 00:16:36.566
they're like, oh shit, that's a shooting. And they didn't know at first what it was.
00:16:36.886 --> 00:16:41.246
But for people to come back, and I've listened to some of their accounts,
00:16:41.506 --> 00:16:45.766
it's anywhere from five to 20 seconds to three seconds.
00:16:46.146 --> 00:16:50.246
They don't know. But people with military training, it was interesting.
00:16:50.246 --> 00:16:52.206
There was a lot, but it's 1963.
00:16:52.746 --> 00:16:57.186
The vast majority of, I would say the majority of men had served in World War
00:16:57.186 --> 00:17:00.066
II Korea or were on their way to Vietnam at the time.
00:17:00.446 --> 00:17:03.866
So most every young man at that point had military training.
00:17:04.026 --> 00:17:07.766
So they had some training of listening to weapons, knowing where weapons were
00:17:07.766 --> 00:17:09.246
coming from, that type of thing.
00:17:09.646 --> 00:17:14.026
And the people that I would put the most stock in, now you could say they were
00:17:14.026 --> 00:17:20.546
government stooges, But the guy in the limousine behind Kennedy that was driving
00:17:20.546 --> 00:17:24.346
Johnson and Senator Ralph Yalberl behind Kennedy,
00:17:24.506 --> 00:17:29.666
he was on a 60-minute CBS or CBS reports in the late 60s.
00:17:29.766 --> 00:17:32.106
I mean, the video's on YouTube. You can watch it.
00:17:32.286 --> 00:17:37.386
And Dan Rather said, you were in an open limousine when the shooting started.
00:17:37.466 --> 00:17:42.466
What do you remember? And he said, well, given the fact I am a combat veteran,
00:17:42.706 --> 00:17:48.266
I heard a report above my right shoulder behind me, meaning the school book depository.
00:17:48.466 --> 00:17:51.266
And then rather said, what followed?
00:17:51.486 --> 00:17:54.826
Two other shots, sir. So you know that it was three. Yes, sir.
00:17:54.946 --> 00:17:57.646
I've been kind of trained to detect gunfire.
00:17:57.846 --> 00:18:01.246
So many people with certain levels of training heard three shots.
00:18:01.751 --> 00:18:05.331
There were witnesses that heard four, five, some thought Brassie Knoll,
00:18:05.431 --> 00:18:08.111
some thought School Book Depository. I get all that.
00:18:08.451 --> 00:18:13.271
But again, unless the government's lying, and I can't say with certainty it's
00:18:13.271 --> 00:18:19.911
not, there were bullet fragments that were taken from the inside of the limousine from the headshot.
00:18:20.331 --> 00:18:26.511
Fragments that were found, it was the jacket of a metal jacket and 6.5 millimeter
00:18:26.511 --> 00:18:32.371
round that was fired to the exclusion of all other weapons by Oddwall's rifle
00:18:32.371 --> 00:18:36.331
found in the vehicle that had shattered Kennedy's head.
00:18:36.771 --> 00:18:40.591
Now, I don't know, maybe that was a proclamant, but I don't think it was.
00:18:40.591 --> 00:18:46.431
And if that's true, then you have to account for how did Carcano rifle bullet
00:18:46.431 --> 00:18:54.071
end up in the vehicle in a fragmented fashion that would fit the assassination or Kennedy's wound.
00:18:54.071 --> 00:18:58.571
Yeah, that means that the guy in the limo behind him, Kennedy.
00:18:59.031 --> 00:19:02.751
Someone there must have known, surely, I mean, if you're in a car or even running
00:19:02.751 --> 00:19:06.291
beside it, you'd think that you'd know exactly where it is if you're only a
00:19:06.291 --> 00:19:09.531
few feet away, wouldn't you? Well, that's one person's testimony.
00:19:09.691 --> 00:19:14.851
Another person's testimony that gave a lot of weight to me was Marilyn Sitzman
00:19:14.851 --> 00:19:18.331
was the receptionist that worked with Abraham Zapruder.
00:19:18.611 --> 00:19:24.011
And they worked right across Houston from the School Book Depository in what's
00:19:24.011 --> 00:19:25.551
called the Dow Tech's building.
00:19:25.551 --> 00:19:31.611
And Zapruder and his partner ran a shop where they basically designed and manufactured
00:19:31.611 --> 00:19:33.751
young women's dresses and clothing.
00:19:34.131 --> 00:19:39.471
And Marilyn Sitzman knew that Abraham Zapruder loved to film things with his
00:19:39.471 --> 00:19:40.911
new motion picture camera.
00:19:41.151 --> 00:19:44.451
He had a Bell and Hal camera, top of the line, state of the art,
00:19:44.531 --> 00:19:48.231
newest camera. And he shows up for work on the morning of the assassination.
00:19:48.511 --> 00:19:50.471
And she's like, Mr. Z, where's your camera?
00:19:51.031 --> 00:19:54.251
Ah, honey, I forgot I left at home. She goes, you're going to not be happy.
00:19:54.251 --> 00:19:57.871
You're going to regret it if you don't film the president.
00:19:57.991 --> 00:20:01.871
Yeah, you're right. So he runs home and he gets the camera. He comes back and gets the camera.
00:20:02.111 --> 00:20:06.231
He says to Marilyn Sitzman, who he appears to me, she's 31 at the time,
00:20:06.651 --> 00:20:08.531
fairly close to, she's an employee.
00:20:09.031 --> 00:20:12.811
You want to go down to Dealey Plaza with me? I'm going to look for a place to film.
00:20:13.071 --> 00:20:18.191
He gets down there and he finds the famous pedestal from which he did the filming.
00:20:18.391 --> 00:20:23.091
And he says, you know, I have a touch of vertigo. I might struggle up here on the pedestal.
00:20:23.211 --> 00:20:26.791
Will you come and hold me? She said, yes, sir. I absolutely will.
00:20:27.111 --> 00:20:34.211
So she stands behind him and holds him up. He died tragically of cancer in her 60s, in the early 90s.
00:20:34.331 --> 00:20:37.811
And she did a last interview, which is on YouTube as well, you can find.
00:20:37.971 --> 00:20:40.491
And the interviewer said, what do you remember?
00:20:41.011 --> 00:20:44.831
Ha! I heard a sound. I thought it was a firecracker. Same thing.
00:20:45.131 --> 00:20:49.651
Where was it? I just know it was behind me. Well, the schoolbook depository
00:20:49.651 --> 00:20:52.051
from that angle, it's behind and to the left.
00:20:52.371 --> 00:20:55.611
But she said, then it started to register as I held Mrs.
00:20:55.891 --> 00:21:00.951
Zapruder. I think something's going on in the car. Then when his head exploded on the last shot.
00:21:01.472 --> 00:21:04.432
She recognized, oh my God, they've shot the president.
00:21:04.952 --> 00:21:08.372
Somebody asked me, because I've been to Dealey Plaza like 20 times.
00:21:08.492 --> 00:21:11.392
I don't know how many times. I love Texas. I go to Dallas and drop the hat.
00:21:11.472 --> 00:21:12.272
I've been there many times.
00:21:12.472 --> 00:21:15.672
So somebody asked him one time, like, Jack, next time you're there,
00:21:15.832 --> 00:21:18.972
stand on Zapruder's pedestal. I'm like, okay, just look to your right.
00:21:19.312 --> 00:21:23.272
I'm like, okay, seriously, just look to your right. And the next time I knew
00:21:23.272 --> 00:21:24.212
what they were talking about.
00:21:24.352 --> 00:21:29.912
If you stand on Zapruder's pedestal and you look to the right towards the picket
00:21:29.912 --> 00:21:32.872
fence, the famous fence on the top of the grassy knoll.
00:21:33.232 --> 00:21:37.692
It looks like it's 50 feet away. I mean, it's like, whoa, it's that close.
00:21:37.892 --> 00:21:41.812
So Marilyn Sisman was asked, how many shots did you hear? She goes, three.
00:21:42.312 --> 00:21:45.132
Three. Yes, I'm positive it was three. And when the headshot was fired,
00:21:45.192 --> 00:21:49.852
I realized it was an assassination. And Mr. Zapruder and I just froze. He kept filming.
00:21:50.472 --> 00:21:54.512
I was shocked that he didn't drop the camera and run, but he keeps filming.
00:21:54.692 --> 00:21:59.152
And I hold on to him. And then they said, then you heard another loud sound. She goes, yes.
00:21:59.452 --> 00:22:04.372
Someone knocked a Coke bottle off of this pedestal beside us and it hit the
00:22:04.372 --> 00:22:06.072
concrete and that kind of woke me up.
00:22:06.332 --> 00:22:11.952
Then the guy said, were there any shots fired from behind you four o'clock to
00:22:11.952 --> 00:22:14.252
the right and behind you? He goes, absolutely not.
00:22:14.572 --> 00:22:18.892
Unless it was a silencer. Well, people that know firearms know that suppressors
00:22:18.892 --> 00:22:24.312
don't really silence bullets to zero or firearms to zero.
00:22:24.532 --> 00:22:28.732
And she said, I never heard a shot from behind me to the right,
00:22:28.872 --> 00:22:32.572
which would have been the grassy knoll. I don't believe there's a grassy knoll shot.
00:22:32.832 --> 00:22:37.332
Even Sarah Wex, who just passed away here a few years ago, who was the one pathologist
00:22:37.332 --> 00:22:41.312
when the House selected many on assassinations, he was the one out of eight
00:22:41.312 --> 00:22:45.492
that didn't like the single bullet fair and a lot, but he conceded what the
00:22:45.492 --> 00:22:47.012
wounds to Kennedy's head were.
00:22:47.192 --> 00:22:52.212
And he said Kennedy had no damage to the left hemisphere of his head.
00:22:52.372 --> 00:22:57.072
So if that bullet had struck Kennedy in the fashion that people want to believe
00:22:57.072 --> 00:23:00.172
from the grassy knoll, it's coming in at two o'clock.
00:23:00.653 --> 00:23:03.313
So when one imagines looking straight ahead, it's 12 o'clock,
00:23:03.473 --> 00:23:04.733
3 o'clock out of the right ear.
00:23:04.993 --> 00:23:08.773
That bullet has to be coming in at 2 o'clock. And for the bullet to come in
00:23:08.773 --> 00:23:12.513
at 2 o'clock and do no damage to the left side of his brain,
00:23:12.653 --> 00:23:13.973
to me, is difficult to imagine.
00:23:14.313 --> 00:23:17.873
A bullet entering in the back of his head, just right of the center line,
00:23:18.013 --> 00:23:23.853
and exiting through the top right portion of the head, or this part of the head, is consistent to me.
00:23:23.973 --> 00:23:28.553
But all the doctors and all the autopsy reports said there was absolutely no
00:23:28.553 --> 00:23:30.333
damage to the left hemisphere of the brain.
00:23:30.653 --> 00:23:34.033
And I can't imagine an incoming shot from 2 o'clock who would not have done
00:23:34.033 --> 00:23:36.233
some entry into that force that they had.
00:23:37.953 --> 00:23:43.533
I hear what you say, but there's been a lot of talk about, was it Oswald alone?
00:23:43.973 --> 00:23:47.953
Was it Castro thinking it was revenge? Was it LBJ?
00:23:48.393 --> 00:23:53.733
All these people that you could put, they had a reason to do it, if you like.
00:23:53.933 --> 00:23:56.693
Well, who would have put Oswald there? What was the connection?
00:23:57.053 --> 00:23:59.553
All right, let me tell you a story. I knew I was going to come to this because
00:23:59.553 --> 00:24:00.773
it's the best story I can tell.
00:24:01.293 --> 00:24:06.393
So in 1990, I go to Dilly Plaza. I go back in 92. And in 94,
00:24:06.453 --> 00:24:09.013
I go down with a friend. We decided to go down to Dallas.
00:24:09.573 --> 00:24:13.613
And this friend of mine is tied up at a convention. So I drive a friend off
00:24:13.613 --> 00:24:15.833
at convention, and I ride to Dilly Plaza.
00:24:16.073 --> 00:24:18.993
I've got all this time in Dallas. I'm just going to run around Dilly Plaza,
00:24:19.133 --> 00:24:20.833
argue with people, see stuff, whatever.
00:24:21.253 --> 00:24:25.893
And I get out there the first day, and a guy in a suit, he's in a suit and tie,
00:24:25.893 --> 00:24:28.553
kind of comes running down the grass and knowing goes, hey, dude,
00:24:29.110 --> 00:24:31.350
Who do you think did it? I'm like, hey, I'm one of those crazy.
00:24:31.470 --> 00:24:35.430
This is one year after my thesis. I wrote a master's thesis I just completed.
00:24:35.850 --> 00:24:41.390
And I'm like, yeah, you too. What's your story? And his response, at the time, I'm 32.
00:24:41.730 --> 00:24:45.950
And this guy's like 35, 36. He's about three, four years older than I am.
00:24:45.990 --> 00:24:51.050
And he said, I grew up in northern Virginia, near D.C., Washington, D.C.
00:24:51.150 --> 00:24:53.390
And my daddy is somebody.
00:24:53.710 --> 00:25:00.030
And I went, okay. And he said, so in 1978, in the midst of the House Select
00:25:00.030 --> 00:25:05.290
Committee on Assassination, my daddy made some phone call and he got me in as
00:25:05.290 --> 00:25:07.750
a page to the House Select Committee on Assassination.
00:25:08.530 --> 00:25:11.930
It is, what are you doing tomorrow? That day in 94, I'm like, nothing.
00:25:12.330 --> 00:25:14.990
So the next day, we go to where Oswald
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:18.390
was killed at the downtown Dallas headquarters, police headquarters.
00:25:18.650 --> 00:25:23.930
We go out to 1026 North Beckley Avenue where Oswald room. We went out to the
00:25:23.930 --> 00:25:28.290
214 Neely Street address where the backyard photograph was taken. We do it all.
00:25:28.710 --> 00:25:31.730
So at the end of the night, we go out with my friend. We go to dinner.
00:25:31.930 --> 00:25:36.330
At the end of dinner, same guy says, hey, I'm a pilot for American Airlines.
00:25:36.530 --> 00:25:40.070
When I fly into Dallas, I like to come out here and hang out in Dealey Plaza
00:25:40.070 --> 00:25:41.930
because I know so much about the assassination.
00:25:42.510 --> 00:25:47.570
And he said, he said, can you do me a favor tomorrow and take me to the airport
00:25:47.570 --> 00:25:49.610
so I can save a taxi? I'm like, sure.
00:25:49.830 --> 00:25:53.970
So I go to the hotel where he's staying. And I go to pick him up and I pick
00:25:53.970 --> 00:25:56.470
him up and I drive him to the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.
00:25:56.950 --> 00:26:01.910
He's got an American Airlines garment bag and he pulls up to the front right
00:26:01.910 --> 00:26:04.070
here. There's a door, says American Airlines personnel.
00:26:04.795 --> 00:26:07.995
So he grabs the bag and he's getting out of the car and it strikes me.
00:26:08.915 --> 00:26:12.095
And this turned out to be true. I leaned over the seat and I said,
00:26:12.155 --> 00:26:16.295
hey, dude, I may not ever see you again. And I haven't. I mean, I never hear.
00:26:16.435 --> 00:26:19.115
It was pre-cell phone. It's not like we exchanged numbers.
00:26:19.375 --> 00:26:23.415
And I said, hey, tell me something. If you saw all this that you saw,
00:26:23.715 --> 00:26:25.935
tell me what I'm not going to learn for 50 years.
00:26:26.115 --> 00:26:31.575
And he leans back in the car and he goes, dude, Oswald did it. I saw everything.
00:26:31.955 --> 00:26:34.655
And I'm like, okay. he goes to promise who he
00:26:34.655 --> 00:26:37.595
did it for and i went oh and then he said
00:26:37.595 --> 00:26:40.435
he was government dirty from hand to toe
00:26:40.435 --> 00:26:43.955
going to the soviet union there were eight other soldiers
00:26:43.955 --> 00:26:50.235
and sailors and marines that went to the soviet union as defectors it was like
00:26:50.235 --> 00:26:56.675
a program now who he was programmed for who he did all he said and then as years
00:26:56.675 --> 00:27:03.115
went by and i saw all these presidents pull out at the end to not release the rest of the documents.
00:27:03.455 --> 00:27:06.575
Bush, I mean, Trump was supposed to do it first, Trump didn't.
00:27:06.755 --> 00:27:08.615
Biden kicked the can down the road.
00:27:09.095 --> 00:27:13.475
Now Trump says again, it's open. You know, we're going to release it all as
00:27:13.475 --> 00:27:20.295
per the 1993 congressional directive that by 19, I'm sorry, 1993,
00:27:20.295 --> 00:27:23.355
that by 2017, everything would be released.
00:27:23.675 --> 00:27:28.915
So every time it got kicked down the road, I kept thinking it could be,
00:27:28.915 --> 00:27:31.255
and this is what I think has come out recently,
00:27:31.615 --> 00:27:36.415
it could be egged on the face of the agencies that should have known better
00:27:36.415 --> 00:27:43.275
and known what a threat Oswald was up to those same agencies were behind him doing it.
00:27:43.335 --> 00:27:45.675
I think it's any one of those possibilities.
00:27:45.955 --> 00:27:49.655
Are you all speaking? The way the government knew what was going to happen,
00:27:50.135 --> 00:27:51.375
but did nothing about it.
00:27:52.175 --> 00:27:55.535
Well, they knew about Oswald because what's come out, one of the things that
00:27:55.535 --> 00:27:58.775
recently came out is James Jesus Angleton.
00:27:58.915 --> 00:28:02.115
Anybody that saw the movie The Good Shepherd, played by Matt Damon,
00:28:02.555 --> 00:28:08.795
it was based upon the life of James Jesus Angleton, who was known as the mole hunter.
00:28:08.995 --> 00:28:13.435
It was the CIA's vellet, bigotry to the CIA. He was a CIA member,
00:28:13.935 --> 00:28:16.795
Yale graduate, skull of bone, secret society type.
00:28:17.135 --> 00:28:21.815
He had Oswald's mail surveilled in 1959.
00:28:22.435 --> 00:28:29.615
They knew who Oswald was. Now, one great example, though, of is it government inefficiency?
00:28:29.955 --> 00:28:34.715
Is it, you know, keystone cops? Is it bad actors?
00:28:35.115 --> 00:28:40.355
Is what happened with the threat to James Hosting, which came out in the 1970s?
00:28:40.455 --> 00:28:41.915
I think it was known even earlier than that.
00:28:42.415 --> 00:28:45.495
But that has been famously portrayed in some of the movies.
00:28:45.655 --> 00:28:49.975
I think it was Parkland when they showed this scene. What happened was when
00:28:49.975 --> 00:28:56.275
Oswald comes back to Dallas from the Soviet Union in the summer of 62, he's not debriefed.
00:28:56.415 --> 00:29:00.215
Nobody really gets hot and bothered about it. He just kind of comes back and
00:29:00.215 --> 00:29:01.535
after like nothing's ever happened.
00:29:01.935 --> 00:29:06.815
But agencies are following him around. And we already know this since 59,
00:29:07.315 --> 00:29:08.915
they're going through his mail.
00:29:08.915 --> 00:29:15.135
So Hostey gets put in position to check on Oswald for the FBI at the Dallas
00:29:15.135 --> 00:29:17.695
headquarter, to the Dallas field office of the FBI.
00:29:17.935 --> 00:29:22.155
And when he goes out and tries to make contact with Oswald on more than one
00:29:22.155 --> 00:29:24.075
occasion, he runs into Marina.
00:29:24.615 --> 00:29:29.375
Then Marina, at one point, gets a business card and gives it to Lee and said,
00:29:29.455 --> 00:29:33.215
yeah, this Hostey guy keeps coming by in her broken English and or Russian.
00:29:33.215 --> 00:29:40.575
And Oswald is supposed to have gone to that field office in Dallas on or about November 8th.
00:29:40.675 --> 00:29:43.375
Comes up into the office, receptionist says, can I help you?
00:29:43.415 --> 00:29:47.255
Yeah, yeah, I want to talk to that host you got. Now, well, he's out in the field.
00:29:47.515 --> 00:29:50.955
Well, give me a notepad and he writes something and leaves.
00:29:51.315 --> 00:29:55.295
So then the shooting happens and the way it's depicted in one of the movies, I think it was Parkland.
00:29:55.735 --> 00:30:00.315
Gordon Shanklin, who runs that office, comes out into the pit where all these
00:30:00.315 --> 00:30:02.395
people are out there with typewriters and deaths.
00:30:02.655 --> 00:30:06.755
They said, hey, Hostie, come to my attention. You got a threatening note from Oswald?
00:30:06.955 --> 00:30:10.735
He goes, well, yeah, sir, but why did I make a big deal? People threaten all
00:30:10.735 --> 00:30:13.695
the time. He goes, well, this guy shot the president, you dumbass.
00:30:13.915 --> 00:30:15.895
Bring me the note. So he looks at the note.
00:30:16.235 --> 00:30:22.515
Now, when Oswald's killed 48 hours after Kennedy, pronounced dead on Sunday
00:30:22.515 --> 00:30:27.935
the 24th at 1P107VM, the story goes, Shanklin calls Hostie into his office.
00:30:28.075 --> 00:30:29.875
He goes, hey, all that Oswald stuff.
00:30:30.407 --> 00:30:34.567
Get rid of it. Hostey has brought in the file. He goes, no, no,
00:30:34.847 --> 00:30:36.227
get the hell out of my office.
00:30:36.447 --> 00:30:42.807
Get it out now and get rid of it. So Hostey, testifying in the mid-70s before
00:30:42.807 --> 00:30:46.727
one of those, it was either Rockefeller Committee or Rockefeller or Frank Church.
00:30:46.967 --> 00:30:52.207
He says, when called in by my boss, Superior, to destroy the note,
00:30:52.507 --> 00:30:55.607
I was tearing it up, lighting it on fire and flushing it down the toilet.
00:30:55.747 --> 00:31:00.787
I just got rid of it. But that has been used by conspiracy people to say what
00:31:00.787 --> 00:31:04.667
they would have done with that if they wanted to paint Oswald as a lone nut
00:31:04.667 --> 00:31:08.007
shooter and say, look, he's a violent guy. He threatened FBI personnel.
00:31:08.307 --> 00:31:12.807
Why did they hide it? The response to that is, what if J.
00:31:12.947 --> 00:31:19.227
Edgar Hoover in Washington finds out his boys in Dallas knew Oswald was a threat
00:31:19.227 --> 00:31:20.787
and didn't do anything about it?
00:31:20.907 --> 00:31:24.847
And that's what Shanklin was upset about. Now, when you got this note,
00:31:25.107 --> 00:31:28.547
why didn't you go right out and find Oswald, sink him down, bring him in for
00:31:28.547 --> 00:31:32.007
questioning, apprehend him, whatever, but he didn't do anything?
00:31:32.327 --> 00:31:34.867
He may not have done anything because he's simply lazy.
00:31:35.227 --> 00:31:38.167
He makes as much money sitting around the office as he does going out there
00:31:38.167 --> 00:31:39.167
and doing anything about it.
00:31:39.387 --> 00:31:45.187
Now, another discrepancy is Hostey said that the note said something like,
00:31:45.347 --> 00:31:50.487
if you guys don't stop bothering my wife, I'm going to take this before the proper authorities.
00:31:50.487 --> 00:31:56.027
The receptionist said it was more like, if you don't come out or if you don't
00:31:56.027 --> 00:31:59.087
stop coming out to bother my wife, I'm going to blow up this building,
00:31:59.327 --> 00:32:00.567
which is a lot different.
00:32:00.787 --> 00:32:06.667
But the point is, I can see it through the lens of it could have very well been
00:32:06.667 --> 00:32:09.847
FBI personnel covering their ass. That's all it was.
00:32:10.007 --> 00:32:14.427
And I can also say this. I do believe the federal government without question
00:32:14.427 --> 00:32:17.767
covered up the assassination from the American public.
00:32:17.927 --> 00:32:20.287
But it could have been to avert World War III.
00:32:20.487 --> 00:32:25.447
So when people, when you just mentioned, is it Cuba? Is it the Soviet Union? Is it the mob?
00:32:25.747 --> 00:32:29.607
It could have been any one of those things where they had an inkling it was.
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.820
And they could have been thinking, hey, if we're going to be American people
00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:36.220
and think it's Castro, they're going to want an invasion of Cuba and Amar,
00:32:36.260 --> 00:32:38.260
which is going to trigger a war with the Soviet Union.
00:32:38.540 --> 00:32:43.640
And I don't think any of them thought that World War III and 50 million deaths
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:48.300
was worth it. It wasn't worth Kennedy's life. And I think that's a fair assessment.
00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:54.060
But do I also think the government probably knew about Oswald?
00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:58.060
So, again, that's a line that's strong. And, you know, when you bring up LBJ,
00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:01.180
LBJ had every reason to want Kennedy did.
00:33:01.360 --> 00:33:03.420
First of all, he wanted to be president.
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:09.560
He saw no other way in than to be vice president. And it does happen in Texas.
00:33:09.980 --> 00:33:15.640
There's supposed to be a major argument the night before about the seating in the motorcade.
00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:21.920
Lyndon Johnson apparently has a hustling fit with JFK about not wanting Conley
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:23.740
in the car. And Kennedy's like,
00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:28.600
no, protocol is the chief executives of federal and state sit together.
00:33:28.840 --> 00:33:31.720
You sit back there with Ralph Yarbrough, who he can't stand.
00:33:32.260 --> 00:33:39.540
Yarbrough is the very liberal U.S. senator from Texas. He can't stand Conley nor LBJ.
00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:46.080
And then Kennedy famously said, Yarbrough was going to have to ride with LBJ,
00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:47.500
Lyndon Johnson, or walk.
00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:51.740
So they're pissing and voting and fighting among the Democrats, the Texas Democrats.
00:33:52.060 --> 00:33:56.200
But it is interesting that Kennedy gets killed in Dallas in the exit.
00:33:56.500 --> 00:34:02.140
And all control of the investigation after Oswald's death reverts to LBJ.
00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:07.200
There were quite a number of people who wanted a piece of John F.K.
00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:12.460
Well, Jack, it has been an eye-opener. And as you said, I don't think anyone
00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:18.320
will ever know the who or why about probably the most controversial assassination in his history.
00:34:19.700 --> 00:34:24.180
Thank you very much. Thanks for your time. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye.
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.520
Thank you for listening to Why Is It So? Make sure you tune in to our next episode.
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:33.000
Remember, it's your last defence for common sense.
