Rating:
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.

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...
