WHO K

Allen Dulles, long-time director of the CIA who had been fired by Kennedy for the Agency’s part in the ill-fated 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion. Dulles’s mentor, Chase Bank iLLED JFK?

President John J. McCloy, was another influential member of the commission. Both were prominent members of the Eastern establishment centered within the Council on Foreign Relations.

By selectively choosing evidence and ignoring contradicting testimony, the Warren Commission in 1964 concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin and that they could find no evidence of conspiracy. Contrary to the notion that suspicions over the Kennedy assassination is a recent development, polls conducted in late 1964

indicated that a substantial number of Americans (more than a third) declined to accept this official conclusion but remained largely quiet in the wake of media support for the commission’s work.

In later years, three commission members—Rep. Hale Boggs and Senators John Cooper and Richard Russell—all voiced their own skepticism regarding the commission’s conclusions. The most vocal of the three, Boggs, took a plane flight in Alaska and was never seen again.

Many crucial pieces of evidence, including the fact that Oswald had neither the weapon nor the marksmanship to commit the assassination, were never reported to the public. The Warren Commission Report did admit that three metal shims had to be placed under the rifle’s telescopic sight to make it accurate enough to test and that Oswald’s Marine records showed in his last shooting examination he qualified as

“Marksman” by only two points. Marksman is the lowest of the three military shooting categories—marksman, sharpshooter, and expert. Fellow Marines stated Oswald on the firing range often could not even hit his target, much less the bull’s-eye.

Although the law demanded an inquest be conducted in Dallas before Kennedy’s body could be removed, federal agents forcibly whisked his corpse from Park-land Hospital at gunpoint. The body was returned to Air Force One at Love Field where takeoff was delayed while Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the thirty-sixth president, an unnecessary action as the U.S. Constitution makes clear the line of succession. Johnson later claimed that Kennedy’s brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy told him to conduct the swearing-in ceremony. However, Robert Kennedy denied this.
