Single Bullet Theory/ Magic Bullet? ► The single bullet theory (also known as the magic bullet theory by the majority of critics and conspiracy theorists) is the crucial element of the Warren Commission theory that only one assassin was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy The “pristine” bullet Warren Commission ► The President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as The Warren Commission, was established on November 29, 1963, by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy. The Commission's findings have since proved extremely controversial and have frequently been challenged. Warren Commission continued… ► The commission's determination was that: ► it was likely that all injuries inside the limousine were caused by only two bullets, and thus one shot likely missed the motorcade, but it could not determine which of the three. (The 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations agreed that two shots caused all the injuries.) ► the first shot to hit anyone struck President Kennedy in the upper back, exited out his throat, and likely continued on to cause all of Governor John Connally's injuries, ► the second shot to hit anyone fatally struck Kennedy in the head 4.8 to 5.6 seconds later.

Sophistic Synthesis in JFK Assassination Rhetoric. 24P
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 400 532 CS 215 483 AUTHOR Gilles, Roger TITLE Sophistic Synthesis in JFK Assassination Rhetoric. PUB DATE Apr 93 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (44th, San Diego, CA, April 1-3, 1993). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Higher Education; Historiography; Popular Culture; *Presidents of the United States; *Rhetorical Criticism; *Rhetorical Theory; *United States History IDENTIFIERS 1960s; *Assassinations; Classical Rhetoric; Garrison (Jim); *Kennedy (John F); Rhetorical Stance; Social Needs ABSTRACT The rhetoric surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy offers a unique testing ground for theories about the construction of knowledge in society. One dilemma, however, is the lack of academic theorizing about the assassination. The Kennedy assassination has been left almost exclusively in the hands of "nonhistorians," i.e., politicians, filmmakers, and novelists. Their struggle to reach consensus is an opportunity to consider recent issues in rhetorical theory, issues of knowledge and belief, argument and narrative, history and myth. In "Rereading the Sophists: Classical Rhetoric Refigured," Susan C. Jarratt uses the sophists and their focus on "nomos" to propose "an alternative analytic to the mythos/logos antithesis" characteristic of more Aristotelian forms of rhetorical analysis. Two basic features of sophistic historiography interest Jarratt: (1) the use of narrative structures along with or opposed to argumentative structures; and (2) the rhetorical focus on history to creative broad cultural meaning in the present rather than irrefutable fact,about the past. Jarratt's book lends itself to a 2-part reading of Jim Garrison's "On the Trail of the Assassins"--a rational or Aristotelian reading and a nomos-driven or myth-making reading.

Session: May 2015 Candidate name: Hellen Wu Candidate number: 001127 - 0040 Essay subject: History Supervisor: Ruth Clarke Word count: Main investigation 3915 (excluding references and subtitles) Abstract 300 "1 Abstract This essay investigated the question “to what extent was the Warren Commission report on the assassination of John F. Kennedy accurate in establishing the number and location of shots, proposing that both Connally and Kennedy were struck by the same bullet, and identifying Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator?”. In order to reach a comprehensive conclusion to this question, it was necessary to conduct some simple preliminary research on the social context during Kennedy’s time (i.e. the 1960s), before proceeding to research the chronology of events on the day of his assassination. This enabled a more accurate understanding of the conclusions reached by the The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (i.e. the Warren Commission) as to the nature of the assassination. Because the report by the Warren Commission comprised of numerous conclusions, it was not possible to analyze all of these, and only those most pertinent to the assassination of Kennedy were investigated, specifically the details of the shooting, the “Magic Bullet Theory”, and the identity of the assassin.

Lee Harvey Oswald's Last Lover? the Warren Commission Missed A
Lee Harvey Oswald’s Last Lover? The Warren Commission Missed A Significant JFK Assassination Connection It is reasonable to be suspicious of claims that challenge our understanding of history. But it is unreasonable to ignore evidence because it might change one’s mind or challenge the positions that one has taken in public. History shows us that new information is rarely welcome.–Edward T. Haslam Lee Harvey Oswald was an innocent man who was a government intelligence agent. He faithfully carried out assignments such as entering the USSR and pretending to be pro-Castro. Lee Harvey Oswald was a brave, good man, a patriot and a true American hero . .–Judyth Vary Baker If Judyth Vary Baker is telling the truth, it will change the way we think about the Kennedy assassination.–John McAdams Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson famously remarked that Lee Harvey Oswald “was quite a mysterious fellow.” One of the most enigmatic episodes in Oswald’s adventure-filled 24-year life was his 1963 sojourn in his birthplace, New Orleans, where he arrived by bus on Apr. 25 and from which he departed by bus on Sept. 25, less than two months before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Warren Report The Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination and concluded that Oswald, acting alone, was the assassin, found nothing of significance in Oswald’s 1963 stay in New Orleans. The picture painted by the 1964 Warren Report is of a lowly, lonely and disgruntled leftist and pro-Castroite who occasionally pretended to be an anti-Castro rightist.

RIP, Conspiracy Gerald Posner Says Oswald Alone Killed JFK
R.I.P., conspiracy Gerald Posner says Oswald alone killed JFK, and "the facts are incontrovertible." He is confident he has cloip d the case. But, in fact, he has dot — and nobody could. CASE CLOSED Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK By Gerald Posner r, I I_ 40-eL ok Random House. 607 pp. $25 O Reviewed by Mary Perot Nichols erald Posner, a former Wall Street lawyer, is an author with the most as- tounding hubris. He con- elx_ctfr)-3 tends that his new book, GCase Closed, will do what its title says: close the case on the assassina- tion of President John F. Kennedy. Posner's thesis is that Lee Harvey Oswald did it all by himself. "Well, good luck, Mr. Posner," I said to myself as I sat down to 'read Case Closed. My own opinion is that neither God nor whatever higher power one might subscribe to could achieve Posner's goal. Kennedy hagi- ographer Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. once described the welter of facts, factoids and inconsistencies that make the Kennedy assassination the most fascinating murder mystery of our time as "a quagmire for histori- ans." It is, in fact, a quagmire for almost anybody. Let's see if Gerald Posner sinks in it. Posner is confident that he is on solid ground. "Lee Harvey Oswald, driven by his own twisted and impenetrable fur- ies, was the only assassin at Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963," he mission was right. (The subsequent Lee Harvey Oswald posed in writes. "To say otherwise, in light of the overwhelming evidence, is to ab- shot that killed Kelinedy hit the back April 1963 with the rifle he solve a man with blood on his hands, of his head.) used to kill Kennedy.

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy Nov. 22, 1963
THE ASSASSINATION OF JOHN F. KENNEDY NOV. 22, 1963 The murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, sent shock through out this Nation. Ever since November 22,1963, the American People . have lost faith in the Government of the United States and every day that goes by, that lost faith grows. Why? I read the Warren Commission Report on the death of JFK and soon put it away, but as time went along, questions began to enter my mind. Having spent over 25 years in lawenforcement, I began to see things that were over looked by the Warren Commission (WC), or just did not want to have more material that would take time and cause more questions to be asked. To find out if there was a conspiracy, I would have to come up with how many shots were fired and where they came from. I also wanted to know why no mention of a second fingerprint was never mentioned, since it was found on the rifle. I also wanted to know why two shots were not on the recording made at the Dallas Police Dept. Only four were heard, or recorded. The Zapruder film with the gun fire imposed, gives the viewer a good idea of what happened, except the two shots were missing-accident or? I have gone over each shot and where it came from. I have tried to disprove each and have not been able to find any other answer. As far as I am concerned, fact is fact. What we have is a conspiracy to commit treason.
