Five questions answered only by The Final Truth.

1. Oswald fired the first shot for the INDISPENSABLE requirement of zeroing.  It missed because it wasn’t aimed at the limousine in the first place.  Learn rifle marksmanship then read and understand every word of Oswald’s Marine Corps Score Book.  

2. There are several clues, starting with the bus transfer, that reveal where Oswald was headed when confronted by Officer Tippit.

3. Oswald was safe on the 30-Marsalis bus and would not have left it due to heavy traffic, which he knew would clear in a minute or two.  He fled from the bus because he ran into Mary Bledsoe.

4. FBI firearms experts knew the fresh bullet mark was caused by the required zeroing shot.  See #1 above.

5. The same four frames were spliced out of two different first-day versions of the Zapruder film.  Eight frames were removed from the Tina Towner film to cover up her camera jiggle reaction to the first shot.  These were not accidents.  Professionals do not make mistakes like that.

Conventional wisdom, both CT and LN, only perpetuates arguments.  Read The Final Truth.  As one reviewer said, “Bauer is not intimidated by conventional wisdom.”

There was complete silence in the elevator.  Captain Will Fritz had just hung up the phone.  The call from the basement gave word that Jack was in place and ready if not entirely willing.   Fritz and detectives L.C. Graves and Jim Leavelle knew what would happen in mere seconds.  The prisoner alone was oblivious.

Ruby spent a sleepless night, desperately searching for a way out of this DPD-ordered killing yet still keep his clubs open.   He called FBI headquarters in Washington and tipped them about what would soon go down, frantically hoping that his attempt would be thwarted. 

In the basement the elevator doors slid open but the group hesitated, pointing fingers toward where they obviously needed to go.  With Graves on the suspect’s left and Leavelle on his right, the group proceeded cautiously down the hall and through the double doors.  Fritz was to provide protection from the front but suspiciously was a good six to eight feet forward and off to the right.

Rather than requesting an attorney, Oswald would have been better served seeking the advice of street criminals who knew the ropes.  They all knew that to kill a cop meant you’ve seen your last sunrise.  In 1963 Dallas, as in nearly all large urban areas, this was the most effective way of protecting officers’ lives, extralegal though it may have been.

DPD had Jack Ruby in its back pocket.  His clubs were on the edge of the law and everybody played the game.  They convinced him he’d be a hero.  He may have been wise to them but to protect his livelihood he had no choice   Within minutes of Jack’s pistol shot, City Hall issued misleading red herring leaks to WFAA that Ruby and Oswald may have known each other and Jack needed to “shut him up.” 

Because J.D. Tippit’s fellow officers sent a message to those who needed to understand it, his ultimate sacrifice nor only helped capture the presidential assassin but ensured that Oswald suffered his just punishment and likely saved the lives of untold brave officers for years to come.

Impoverished Lee Oswald’s only means of transportation were walking and the bus.   According to Marina he spent hours studying bus schedules.  These crucial bus routes, particularly the 22-Beckley, the 30Marsalis and the 55-Lancaster, unlock the door to solving this case.  The only place on earth you can see maps and descriptions of all these crucial routes is in The Final Truth: Solving the Mystery of the JFK Assassination.

A JFK assassination fanatic for years, Roy Researcher has become quite knowledgeable and loves to discuss it.  Yet Roy has never fired a rifle or spliced a frame of film.  He is confident when engaging those with a similar lack of experience but eventually he encounters Red Rawlings with a lifetime of real-world hands-on practice in those disciplines.  Red doesn’t need to theorize.

How does Roy react?  Does he learn from that lifetime of experience or does he argue with it?  Does he want this case solved or does he enjoy perpetuating arguments?

If you want it solved, read The Final Truth: Solving the Mystery of the JFK Assassination by Edward Bauer.  Otherwise, feel free to spend the rest of your life arguing.
