If you read and understand every word of Oswald’s Marine Corps Score Book, you’ll realize he was a crack shot and very familiar with the nuances of marksmanship, including zeroing the windage and elevation screws even on the fly during Rapid Fire.  (It’s why his first shot at JFK ‘missed.’)

The Three Shots, a Brief Synopsis

The first shot, the shot that “missed,” was fired at the south curb of Main Street for the indispensable requirement of zeroing the scope. FBI firearms experts knew this from the beginning.  It created the “bullet mark and freshly made” seen by Walthers, Sweatt, Tague, Underwood and others.  Curb or bullet fragments from this shot struck James Tague on his cheek.  Governor Connally initially believed that this shot struck President Kennedy but after viewing the Zapruder film, recanted, stating only that he heard the first shot and that it did not hit him.

With a properly zeroed scope, the second shot hit JFK in the upper back, exited below his Adam’s Apple, and tumbling, continued in a direct line, hitting Governor Connally in the back, causing an elongated entrance wound.  It exited his right chest, passed through his right wrist and came to rest upon entering his left thigh. Attending surgeons knew this from the beginning.  

The third shot hit the President in the back of his head, causing a small entrance hole in the back of the skull with cracks radiating outward.   The right front top of the skull exploded outward, sending cranial debris forward.  This mist briefly hovered in the air until driven through by escorting motorcycle officers.  

These were the only three shots.  Dozens of witnesses knew this from the beginning.

More results of my research…

Realizing how critically important bus transportation was in Oswald’s life, I paid a very modest sum to download better quality but still barely legible copies of the same bus schedules he spent hours studying.  I purchased several 1963-era Dallas street maps, scanned them and meticulously re-created all the bus routes, street by street, deciphering every blurry word.

Many things clearly became apparent: why Oswald wanted the bus transfer and where he was headed, why he needed to catch that exact 12:40pm 30-Marsalis bus, why he didn’t take the 22-Beckley bus back to his rooming house and much more.

To this day, the only place on earth where these revealing maps can be found is in my book, The Final Truth.

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.
