Livermore Scientists Reignite JFK Assassination Debate POSTED: 9:04 am PDT August 21, 2006 UPDATED: 9:29 am PDT August 21, 2006 LIVERMORE -- It's been the subject of numerous arguments, books and a major Hollywood movie and now scientists at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory have turned up the heat again on just who assassinated President John F. Kennedy. The researchers say metallurgical chemical "fingerprints" on the bullets that killed the president and wounded then Texas Governor John Connally may have been misinterpreted and that the government's crucial "single gunman theory" has been thrown into doubt. "It basically shatters what some people call the best physical evidence around," chemist Pat Grant, director of the lab's highly respected Forensic Science Center told the San Jose Mercury News. Grant and Lab metallurgist Erik Randich found that the chemical "fingerprints" used to identify which bullets the fragments came from were not quite the "smoking gun" as thought pointing to Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman. The FBI used five bullet fragments recovered from the limousine, Connally's body, the president's brain and from a stretcher for its initial tests using what is known as "neutron activation" analysis. Those tests proved inconclusive, but later tests by chemist Vincent Guinn -- a renowned specialist in neutron activation -- on the bullet lead pointed directly at Oswald. Guinn said the fragments came from just two bullets -- both of which came from Oswald's Russian-manufactured rifle. Randich said the Lawrence Livermore tests came to a different result. "We don't know if there were two bullets," said Randich. "There could have been two bullets, but the lead composition data shows there could be anywhere from one to five bullets."

Someday, somehow, the truth will be exposed by snatching Arlen Specter or George H.W. Bush and shooting them up with TRUTH SERUM and making them spill their murdering, lying guts ... Maybe we'll get a death bed confession soon from Gerald Ford ... The same scum that did the Bay of Pigs did Kennedy !
"nemo me impune lacessit" no one provokes me with impunity
You know what? I don't care who killed Kennedy. He wasn't some sort of American royalty; he was a POS. Anyone who's investigated his life will quickly find that out. Certain people just can't stand the fact that their "hero" was killed by some lowlife. But the truth is that one lowlife killed another. It's been going on 45 years, and the nuts are still all OC over this. The belief in these conspiracies is pure poison. Even the Bible warns against believing in them. Kennedy was killed by the CIA...no, wait, it was Castro...no, it was the first Bush....no, it was the Mafia....no, it was Johnson...no, it was the bankers! No, it was Oswald, and no one else.
"Benjamin Franklin was shown the new American constitution, and he said, 'I don't like it, but I will vote for it because we need something right now. But this constitution in time will fail, as all such efforts do. And it will fail because of the corruption of the people, in a general sense.' And that is what it has come to now, exactly as Franklin predicted." -- Gore Vidal
LBJ said that Ford played football too long without a helmet. He was probably the only member of the Warren Commission dumb enoughy to believe Specter's signle bullet theory.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
Spoken like a true lemming.

Maybe the whole nation should've worn a helmet ... How in the hell can the President of the U.S. get his head blown off at high-noon, in downtown America ... without any real investigation by the State authorities where he was murdered ... kinda like 9-11 ... {{{{{yawn}}}}} let's all take a nap !

If they were willing to make J. Edgar Hoover their bitch because he closed those Cuban refugee training camps, they wouldn't have hesitated to already let Ford know that if he talks living relatives could suffer. The bastard pardoned Nixon, he has no damn real balls.
