Recreating Oswald's Shot

  • 🎯 An experiment was conducted to recreate Lee Harvey Oswald's shot at JFK using an exact copy of his rifle and ammunition.
  • πŸ’‘ The goal was to determine the actual difficulty of the shot, considering the rifle's known issues and the ammunition's origins.

Ammunition and Rifle Analysis

  • πŸ’₯ The ammunition used was originally ordered by the CIA for Greek fighters in World War I and later returned, raising questions about its availability to Oswald.
  • βš™οΈ The rifle itself is described as a crappy gun with a very rare and equally crappy scope ($10 value today), with everything working against a difficult shot.
  • ⚠️ The experiment encountered issues, including the firing pin going out and the gun jamming, highlighting the unreliability of the weapon.

The Difficulty of the Shot

  • πŸ“ˆ The recreation involved shooting from stationary and moving positions, at various angles and heights up to six stories.
  • 🀯 A professional marksman described the shot as difficult, and the recreation took an 8-hour day instead of the expected 20 minutes.
  • πŸš— The vehicle's movement was simulated by dragging a truck with the car in the back through a bumpy field, attempting to replicate the instability of the original moving target.

Unforeseen Findings and Conspiracy Theories

  • πŸ” Two unexpected findings emerged from the experiment, which will be revealed in a future show.
  • πŸ—£οΈ The discussion touches upon potential involvement of Lyndon B. Johnson and the CIA's unchecked actions, referencing newly confirmed information from JFK files.
  • πŸ“Ί The content is tied to an upcoming show on Blaze TV featuring a tape of a conversation about Johnson's involvement and an interview with Roger Stone.
