John C. Dean | History

After years of trial and error in matching suspected shooter sites with hit points on 22 Nov '63, I got a perfect match for a 16-20 shot conspiracy that killed JFK and made forensic ballistic analysis out of it plus show re-processed photos to show what was covered up by the government when they absconded with all photos on day one.

Among the nations of the earth there exists no more striking contrast than that between the people of Paris and the people of France. While the capital is a political furnace, where all sorts of conflicting ideas and opinions are continually boiling with such a rage of effervescence that the inhabitants, unaccustomed to the sense of calm and...
