This is a segment form the movie: Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy.
It aims to debunk the "magic bullet" theory, but does not cover the headshot from the front.

>The theory, generally credited to Warren Commission staffer Arlen Specter[1] (later a United States Senator from Pennsylvania), posits that a single bullet, known as "Warren Commission Exhibit 399" (also known as "CE 399"), caused all the wounds to the governor and the non-fatal wounds to the president (seven entry/exit wounds in total).[2]
>Arlen Specter (February 12, 1930 – October 14, 2012) was an American lawyer and politician who served as United States Senator from Pennsylvania. Specter was a Democrat from 1951 to 1965,[1][2][3] then a Republican from 1965 until 2009, when he switched back to the Democratic Party. First elected in 1980, he represented his state in the Senate for 30 years.
>Specter was born in Wichita, Kansas, to emigrant Russian Jewish parents.
>On February 16, 2011, Specter wrote a letter to President Obama. He stated that as Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jonathan Pollard should be pardoned. He stated, "Unfortunately, spying is not an uncommon practice even between allies and friendly nations."[92]

Damn good job of debunking the "official story".

JFK was killed by one of his body guards in the car behind him. It was an accident.
Adam Davis
>In the 1960 presidential election, John Kennedy received better than 80 percent of the Jewish vote. “I went to this party,” Kennedy said. "It was given by a group of people who were big money contributors and also Zionists and they said to me, ‘We know that your campaign is in terrible financial shape.’ The deal they offered me was that they would finance the rest of this campaign if I would agree to let them run the Middle Eastern policy of the United States for the next four years.”
>Kennedy would later court Egyptian President Gabdel Nasser, seeking to strengthen the US' position in the Middle East against the Soviets by allying with the fierce nationalist. “Only a few years ago,” said Undersecretary of State Chester Bowles in 1961, “all thoughtful observers were clearly concerned about Soviet penetration into the Middle East. Many thought that Egypt…was on the road to Soviet control. Yet today Nasser’s nationalism fiercely combats internal Communism and his relations with the U.S.S.R. grow increasingly cool.”
>As part of his all-out effort to win Nasser’s affection, Kennedy pushed hard for large increases in aid to Egypt, and in early 1962, following an Israeli retaliatory strike in Syria, instructed his UN ambassador to vote to condemn Israel in the Security Council. This would anger Israeli president Ben Gurion and further sour US-Israeli relations.
Henry Watson
>The HSCA (United States House Select Committee on Assassinations) concluded that John F. Kennedy was probably a victim of a conspiracy based off gunshots recorded in Dealey Plaza on police radio. Six impulses were recorded but due to budget restrictions the HSCA could only have four of them analyzed. The Analysis concluded that the four impulses analyzed were gunshots and that shots three and four occurred within seven tenths of a second of each other. The HSCA also concluded the fourth shot came from the grassy knoll adding there was a second shooter.
Gabriel Jones
Other issues of contention would arise between the Israelis and the Kennedy Administration- Secretary of State Rusk wanted Israel to agree to take back at least ten percent of the total number of Arabs who had left Israel since the creation of the state, something Ben Gurion would not agree to.
>Further issues would arise with Kennedy opposing Israeli and French stances on the independence of Algeria.
>The undoubtedly final straw that caused the Israeli assassination of JFK came with the discovery of the Israeli nuclear facility at Dimona. Initially the Israeli government denied it's existence, but after Ben Gurion publicly announced, on December 21, 1960, that Israel had indeed received a nuclear reactor from France, and vowed that it would not be used for military ends.
>fearing a regional nuclear arms race, Kennedy wrote a letter to Ben Gurion, admonishing his government to cease any manufacture and development of nuclear weaponry, while hinting at a thinly veiled threat of removing any US support.
>As Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman wrote in Friends in Deed: Inside the U.S.-Israel Alliance, “Abba Eban recall[ed] that when a team of American inspectors arrived at Dimona, ‘it cost us…a lot of money to arrange it so their inspectors wouldn’t find out what was going on.’ False walls were erected, doorways and elevators hidden, and dummy installations were built to show the Americans, who found no evidence of the weapons program secreted underground.”
Isaiah Brown
>In 1963, JFK's primary interest in Dallas was raising money from the Dallas elite, and that meant the wealthy pro-Israel Jewish Democrats who were major financial angels for the ruling Democratic Party there. And since JFK was still in contention with Israel over its nuclear arms program, it is critical to recognize how JFK was lured to Dallas and who was in charge of the arrangements that actually facilitated his assassination. And while it is well known that the Dallas leg of JFK's Texas trip was sponsored by the Citizens Council (CC), the elite business group that ruled Dallas, the little-noticed evidence shows that two of the three key figures who dominated the CC were Jewish —not "WASPs," as the legend of Dallas would have it. These were the folks who really ran Dallas, not the conservatives affiliated with the John Birch Society, as the old myth suggests. In 1963, one of those Jewish power brokers was an outspokenly pro-Israel liquor wholesaler, Julius Schepps, who held the distribution rights in Dallas for the Bronfman family's Seagram's products (both of which are Jewish)
>The means by which the Dallas elite gained control of JFK's Dallas trip agenda is interesting. Since JFK's Dallas trip was officially designated as "non political" —in contrast to other Texas stops such as Houston and Austin which were designated as "political" —the private entities paying for the Dallas trip gained control of the planning (taking it out of the hands of the JFK -controlled Democratic National Committee). The
CC designated a "host committee." The chairman was Dallas Jewish leader and public relations man, Sam Bloom, the CC's longtime executive director, and —in retrospect —one of the least known but most pivotal figures in world history.
Jaxson Rodriguez
>Although the Secret Service objected (for security reasons) to the publication of JFK's motorcade route, Bloom (the point man for the Dallas elite) nonetheless made sure a map of the route was repeatedly published in Dallas papers. Thus, later, when the "patsy" was in custody, there was a plausible explanation as to how he knew JFK would pass by his workplace. That an assassin quite probably fired on JFK from the Dal-Tex Building is most relevant in the context of an Israeli connection. Co-owned by David Weisblat, a major financial backer of the Israeli lobby's Anti-Defamation League, Dal-Tex housed, on different floors, a number of firms that utilized the telephone number of Morty Freedman, an attorney, garment manufacturer, and activist in Jewish affairs. Since JFK was working to stop Israel's nuclear arms program—which received smuggled uranium from U.S. sources—it is notable that one Dal-Tex firm linked to Freedman was the Dallas Uranium & Oil Company. It is also intriguing that one of Freedman's Dal-Tex business partners was Abe Zapruder, the Jewish dress manufacturer who filmed the assassination and profited immensely. Today there are some who now believe Zapruder had advance knowledge of the assassination.
>Once the accused assassin was in custody, it was----you guessed it —Sam Bloom, who had earlier maneuvered JFK into the kill zone, who pressured Elgin Crull, the city manager, to in turn pressure Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry into making Oswald accessible to the press and to move him publicly from the Dallas police station to the city jail. Thus, the situation was in place for Jack Ruby to move in for the kill. There are several sources, including Dallas FBI agent James Hosty, who stated Bloom and his backers were the forces behind this. When the police searched Ruby's home, they found a slip of paper with Bloom's name, address and telephone number on it.
Tyler Martin
>There was an immediate confrontation between Bloom, representing the Dallas elite, and Jerry Bruno, JFK's veteran advance man. Bruno wanted the president to speak at the Women's Building, but the rulers of Dallas insisted JFK speak at the Trade Mart. Although Bruno fought long and hard, after much pressure, the Dallas elite prevailed, causing the JFK loyalist to comment that "this was one of the few fights like this that I had lost. On things like this my judgment was usually taken. This time it wasn't." By forcing JFK to speak at the Trade Mart, the Dallas elite positioned the JFK motorcade to take the now infamous "dog -leg" turn into what was a classically sniper-friendly "kill zone" on Elm Street just below the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD), from where it later was claimed the alleged assassin, TSBD employee Lee Harvey Oswald, red the fatal shots. The spot was also in easy range of the "grassy knoll" and the nearby Dal-Tex Building, where assassination researchers believe snipers were located. Had JFK's advance man prevailed —as he usually did —JFK (on his way to the preferred location) would have traveled two blocks fart her away from the TSBD —out of the kill zone—at a greater speed.

Are you quoting passages from the book "The Final Judgement" ?
Cooper Howard
>Immediately after JFK's assassination LBJ came into power- and the US-Israeli relationship shifted dramatically. First off the table was the nuclear issue. In The Bomb in the Basement, his history of Israel’s procurement of nuclear weapons, Israeli author Michael Karpin wrote that “as soon as [Johnson] entered the White House the pressure on Israel on the Dimona issue ceased.”
>And while Kennedy’s final budget, for fiscal year 1964, allocated $40 million in aid to Israel, Johnson’s first budget, for fiscal year 1965, set aside $71 million – an extraordinary increase of 75 percent. The amount nearly doubled in 1966, to $130 million.
>As a result of the new arrangement allowing the Israelis to purchase US weaponry with aid money, the percentage of American aid to Israel earmarked for military expenditures rose dramatically, more than tripling between 1965 and 1967. By the middle of 1966, the Israelis were purchasing military hardware the type of which would have been unthinkable under prior administrations, including four-dozen Skyhawk bomber attack planes and more than 200 M-48 tanks which undoubtedly helped the Israelis win the 1967 War.

Some yes. Surprised someone here knows it. This is also discussed in Matrix for Assassination.

>assassination of the president of the United States
>no budget to analyse all the evidence
What the fuck?
Blake Perez
>Mountains of evidence suggests that the Warren Commission was set up to fail and that elements within the US government have ever since been involved in a determined, ongoing cover up of what really happened. Many witnesses, reporters, and others connected to the Kennedy assassination have turned up dead. Over 100 murders, suicides, and mysterious deaths reported. [10]
Governor John Connally (who was in the car with JFK and got shot):
"I do not for one second believe the conclusions of the Warren Commission"
Robert F. Kennedy:
"The Warren Commission was a shoddy piece of craftsmanship"
Robert F. Kennedy JR:
"The evidence at this point i think is very, very convincing that it was not a lone gunman"
Christian Fisher
Just like the 9/11 investigation.

Who really cares about this faggot. I wish people would just get over it. Fuck JFK.
