To believe Oswald acted alone, you have to believe that:
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm appalled so many people accept this nonsense. LBJ told Chief Justice Warren he was saving the world from nuclear war with Russia, and this rationale for doctoring the truth makes at least some sense in the context of the Cold War. But 50 years later?
The nuts in the country are those who still believe the "official line." The problem is not that folks can't accept a loner doing such a thing, it's that folks can't accept a coup d'etat right here in the City on a Hill.
- a large number of doctors and staff at Parkland hospital are incompetent and/or liars. There were no frontal wounds.
- over 50 eye witnesses who believed shots came from the grassy knoll (front), many smelling gun powder and/or seeing smoke, were wrong and it is an oversight that the Warren Commission never called them to testify.
- Oswald, a poor shot in the Army, was able to get off 3 shots in less than 10 seconds on a bolt action rifle called junk by experts, when excellent professional marksmen later could not duplicate the feat on the same model rifle, and that he could hit something without an accurate telescope mounted ... and that it was an accident that a Mauser was identified as the found weapon before it was changed to the Italian model.
- that the laws of physics were temporarily put on hold so the "magic bullet" could do its wondrous trajectory and damage.
- that Oswald, after his miraculous shooting, raced down six flights of stairs (unseen or noticed by two women on the stairs), bought a coke and went to the lunch room, all in 90 seconds, where a policeman found him calm, not breathing heavily, quite relaxed.
- that the clear backward thrust of JFK's exploding head in the Zapruder film is not caused by a shot from the front but by a rear shot interacting with JFK's back brace, causing the rear movement. (Not only a magic bullet but a magic back brace.)
