Listen "DDH - The "Magic" Bullet"
Episode Synopsis
Sixty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson announced the formation of the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination of John Kennedy. The Nation was deep in shock and needed some reassurance.
One year and eight hundred and eighty-eight pages later, the commission announced its findings. Those can be boiled down to this: Lee Harvey Oswald fired the Magic Bullet that killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connelly.
Sure, there’s a whole bunch of other stuff, including some commonsense recommendations about Presidential security going forward. But for the past sixty years, there has been almost no single page of the report that hasn’t found its detractors somewhere.
And it all seemingly comes back to that single, magical bullet that somehow defied logic and physics and did it all…. or… did it?
Cue the Black helicopter…
