Title: Historians Claim New Research Shows Oswald Acted Alone in JFK Assassination

Few historical events have received more attention or been more carefully reenacted than the assassination of President Kennedy.

Yet as the country approaches the 48th anniversary of that tragic day in Dallas, a team of historians and retired Secret Service officers claims to have used new technology on old evidence to solidify the judgment that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

The NatGeo channel will air the new tests as part of a one-hour documentary this Sunday night called "JFK: The Lost Bullet."

Historian Max Holland led the team that applied digital technology to a number of home movies taken on Nov. 22, 1963, including the famous Zapruder film.

Holland told Fox News this marks the first time these disparate amateur films, some of which have not been seen in years, have been brought together, digitally enhanced and presented in a coherent way.

"I'd say a main thrust of it is to break the stranglehold that the Zapruder film has on our perception of what happened. In a sense, we've all been 'Zaprudered,'" he said. "The film was so graphic, disturbing, mesmerizing, that it became more of our perspective on the assassination than even the perspective of the assassin, which should never have happened."

Another startling claim of the NatGeo team is that the new digital upgrades allow the public to see, in the amateur footage taken that day by Robert Hughes, a shadowy figure moving about inside the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building -- a figure believed to be Oswald.

"And our conclusion is that he fired three shots in about 11 seconds, which is almost double, you know, the six seconds in Dallas meme that most people know when they think about the assassination: six seconds, three shots in six seconds. We say three shots in 11 seconds, which is a much easier -- for I'd say, someone of Oswald's skill -- effortless task," Holland said.

When asked if there are any "holy grails" of JFK assassination research still out there -- pieces of evidence known by researchers to exist but which have not yet seen the light of day -- Holland cited Oswald's tax returns. Those returns have never been released.

Holland said it's easier to pry documents from the CIA than from the IRS.

The JFK special airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET. NatGeo is partly owned by the same parent company as Fox News.

Just as the 911 story has morphed over time from burning jet fuel to collapse gremlins or whatever preposterous line is being sold this week the Shadow Government keeps trying to come up with some means of proving that Lee Harvey Oswald had a majick rifle. Since a number of expert shooters have time and again pointed out that it was impossible to do what was claimed with a bolt action Carcano, which magically replaced the Mauser that was reported by one of the first Detectives to visit the sniper's nest in the Book Depository (who was a WWII Vet who had served in Europe and knew the difference between a Mauser and a Carcano).

Also the story line of three shots has to be reinforced (when there were at least 5 based on both eyewitness accounts and acoustic analysis of the available audio).

I think this is just another attempt sell a load of horse sh!t and polish it up real pretty like.

After several phone chats with Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock I finally felt comfy enough to pop the question:

"Gunny, did Oswald fire three shots in six seconds at the Kennedy motorcade?"

"The FBI asked me the same question.", he replied. "I set up the simulation and fired Oswald's rifle, and it couldn't be done!", he said.

Hathcock won the Wimbledon 1,000 yd championship in 1965, and his official count in Vietnam was 93 enemy killed. (his actual score was over 300)

I respectfully submit that if Gny Hathcock couldn't do it then Oswald couldn't do it.

The US Marine Corps took the unprecedented step of naming an award after a living person, and in each graduating scout sniper class at Quantico one outstanding marine receives The Carlos Hathcock Award.

Carlos is gone now but he told me (on the phone) that his one wish was to make the presentation to a marine before he died (he was ravaged by MS) but regrettably the corps never invited him to do so. I and many others sent letters to the Commandant Of The Marine Corps on Carlos' behalf but Hathcock's wish was not to be. Which of course confirmed my belief that with the exception of "mustang marines" (officers who came up through the non commissioned ranks) Pentagon brass suck.

I was a long range rifle shooter in the CA-AZ deserts back then, and my rifle, a .243 WIN caliber (a necked down .308 case to shoot 6 mm instead of 7.62 mm bullets) was a Remington Varmint Special, a civilian version of the M-40A1.

Hatchcock achieved his fame with pre-'64 Model 70 Winchester rifles in .30-06 caliber. And he said that in his opinion the best long range rifle is the .300 Winchester Magnum, which is the caliber he used to claim victory at Wimbledon.

My old man was a Scout-Sniper in South Pacific - and the best shot I've ever known. If your friend the Gunny couldn't do it, then it can't be done. That is why they are now going to try prove that Oswald had "11 seconds" because too many experts are on record saying that 3 rounds off of that Carcano in six seconds and actually hit a moving target is preposterous. I believe it was Covert Action Quarterly that tied National Geo to the CIA years ago. Every few years the PTB seem to try another angle to prove that a square peg fits in a round hole.
