Interesting Men's Witness Accounts Further Prove Conspiracy Theory

I thought all of these witness' accounts were very interesting. Mostly because I couldn't even fathom how I would feel at the moment my President was shot and killed. I'd be completely and utterly devastated, despite whether or not I favored him. My two key witnesses were Richard Carr, and Roger Craig. Both witness' accounts stated that there had somehow been more people involved with Kennedy's assassination than just Lee Harvey Oswald. The two said they saw a man hurriedly exit the Texas Schoolbook Depository and get into car with a dark skinned driver 15 minutes after the assassination. After the two had shared with journalists and others what they had seen that day, they'd been shot at or gotten into suspicious "accidents." Obviously, whatever knowledge they had, someone didn't want them to have, proving there were more people involved with the Kennedy Assassination than just Lee Harvey Oswald. Voila! I suppose I'm slightly more sure of my opinion now.

A single bullet? Gracie K. says, "Probably not."

In the YouTube video titled "Beyond Conspiracy: Kennedy Assassination," Dale Myers explains everything to prove President John F. Kennedy and John Connally had been shot by a single bullet. Myers begins his explanation by going through an animated simulation of the Zapruder film. Meyers pinpointed every single bloody detail of the Kennedy assassination, including the exact setting of the incident, and the positioning of the shot men's bodies. He demonstrated that the two men had indeed been shot by a single bullet, because when the second out of three shots were fired, the two men had reacted from wounds simultaneously. The bullet had passed through kennedy's back, through and out his throat, and then entered Connally's back, and out his chest. I assume after that it had passed through his wrist and lodged itself in his thigh, because he had been examined and had bullet wounds in those places.
Honestly, I don't know who to believe. There's been evidence supporting both sides: the single bullet "fact," and the conspiracy theory. The third and INSANTLY fatal shot fired coudn't possibly have come from the Texas Schoolbook Depository, but probably from the fence by the grassy knoll to the right of the limousine. However, I'm not as thoroughly educated as those who have dedicated their lives to research on the Kennedy assassination, so I feel like I don't have the right to talk. Most theories are plausible, and incredibly probable. I'm pretty convinced there was no way however that the third shot that blasted the President's brain into several chunks could have come from Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle. It's unfortunate they're all too dead to share the truth with curious students like me.

October 20, 1954




I asked Marilyn Monroe to sit down with me for a few moments after catching her on her way to rehearsing for her latest film, The Seven Year Itch, to discuss her recent divorce with her newly (ex) husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio. Surprisingly, she agreed, and proceeded to say a few words.

Me (Grace McConnell): Being America's favorite sex symbol, how do you feel about your divorce with your ex husband, Joe?
Marilyn Monroe: "Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt, and bewildered." *
Me: What was your daily life like with DiMaggio?
Marilyn Monroe: "I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy." * 
Me: Do you believe your public sensual attention stunts had a lot to do with your separation?
Marilyn Monroe: "If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have gotten anywhere. Men are so willing to respect whatever bores them." *
Me: This photograph was instantly infamous after being taken of you. It's a very scandalous shot. I mean, if you wear that short a dress in public, what do you wear to bed?
Marilyn Monroe: "What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5 of course." *

* Denotes an actual quote of Marilyn Monroe. I tried to work my favorites into this post.
