Comments by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Comments by Michel Chossudovsky

Below are excerpts (scroll down) from the article in the NYT regarding Secret Service Agent Paul Landis‘ Revelation 60 years later on the assassination of JFK. This is a political bombshell. 

After 60 years of silence, Secret Service agent Paul Landis’ revelation confirms that on November 22, 1963 there was a Second Shooter besides the late Lee Harvey Oswald, who was assassinated two days later on November 24th, 1963. 
 .
Paul Landis now confirms that the bullet that hit JFK, did not hit Texas Governor John B. Connally who was seriously wounded during the shootings:
.

“Landis told the Times that after Kennedy was shot, he was the one who retrieved the so-called “magic bullet” and explained the chaotic scene that gave him the opportunity.

There was nobody there to secure the scene, and that was a big, big bother to me. All the agents that were there were focused on the president.

 A crowd was gathering. This was all going on so quickly. And I was just afraid that — it was a piece of evidence, that I realized right away. Very important. And I didn’t want it to disappear or get lost. So it was, “Paul, you’ve got to make a decision,” and I grabbed it.”  (NYT, emphasis added)
.
What this means is that the central thesis of the Warren Commission cover up—i.e. that one “magic bullet” hit both JFK and Connally—is an outright lie. 
 .
The lie has now been exposed. Will the truth pertaining to the death of John F. Kennedy prevail? Or will Peter Landis’ revelation be challenged and “refuted”.
.
This revelation has opened a Pandora’s Box, which potentially threatens the legitimacy of  the “NeoCon agenda”. 
.
What will be the response of the corporate media? The legal and political implications of this revelation are far-reaching. It affects our understanding of American history.
.
How will U.S. politicians and the broader public respond? Or will Paul Landis’ revelation be “swept under the rug”. No questions asked.
.

Of significance, the lie pertaining to the “magic bullet” was revealed in the NYT by Paul Landis two days prior to September 11, 2023 –i.e. on the day people in America and around the World are commemorating the 9/11 attacks, which ALSO constitute a Big Lie and a crime against humanity. Is there a historical continuum? Should we not be “connecting the dots”?

J.F.K. Assassination Witness Breaks His Silence and Raises New Questions

by Peter Baker

“The account of Paul Landis, one of the Secret Service agents just feet away from John F. Kennedy when he was struck down, could change the understanding of what happened in Dallas in 1963.”

New York Times, September 9, 2023

Excerpts. Click here to read the full NYT article.

He still remembers the first gunshot. For an instant, standing on the running board of the motorcade car, he entertained the vain hope that maybe it was just a firecracker or a blown tire. But he knew guns and he knew better. Then came another shot. And another. And the president slumped down.

For so many nights afterward, he relived that grisly moment in his dreams. Now, 60 years later, Paul Landis, one of the Secret Service agents just feet away from President John F. Kennedy on that fateful day in Dallas, is telling his story in full for the first time. And in at least one key respect, his account differs from the official version in a way that may change the understanding of what happened in Dealey Plaza.

… As it turns out, if his recollections are correct, the much-discussed “magic bullet” may not have been so magic after all.

His memory challenges the theory advanced by the Warren Commission that has been the subject of so much speculation and debate over the years — that one of the bullets fired at the president’s limousine hit not only Kennedy but Gov. John B. Connally Jr. of Texas, who was riding with him, in multiple places.

Mr. Landis’s account, included in a forthcoming memoir, would rewrite the narrative of one of modern American history’s most earth-shattering days in an important way. It may not mean any more than that. But it could also encourage those who have long suspected that there was more than one gunman in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, adding new grist to one of the nation’s enduring mysteries.

…. But he was there, a firsthand witness, and it is rare for new testimony to emerge six decades after the fact. He has never subscribed to the conspiracy theories and stresses that he is not promoting one now. At age 88, he said, all he wants is to tell what he saw and what he did. He will leave it to everyone else to draw conclusions.

“There’s no goal at this point,” he said in an interview last month in Cleveland, the first time he has talked about this with a reporter in advance of his book, “The Final Witness,” which will be published by Chicago Review Press on Oct. 10. “I just think it had been long enough that I needed to tell my story.” (NYT, emphasis added)
