New JFK Assassination Revelation Could Upend the Long-Held “Lone Gunman” Theory

I never really understood the logic because it is deeply oxymoronic. People that generally wanted him dead (ultra right) think that he was killed by the secret service (presumably left) and Yigal Amir (ultra right) was framed.

But it is something about putting blank bullets in order to gather support with a fake assassination and then he was really killed by the Shabak on order of Shimon Peres (but can’t say that’s verbatim)

It always seemed even less internally consistent than most JFK theories

I mean, that would be like a secret service sniper shooting JFK when Oswald missed, or something. Surely is is reasonable to believe that the risk of a secrete service assassination increases during a assassination attempt. But, there is not really anything that would indicate that.

During the 1WW the death rate of officers was about twice that of privates for a sample.

I believe that there is a risk of opportunity murder when bullets are flying. Using the confusion as cover. But, as I said, only speculative.

It’s similar to holocaust denial, it doesn’t make sense and the people who support the assassination also support the conspiracy
