JFK assassination witness speaks up after 60 years, denies crucial allegation.
A Witness to History: JFK Assassination
In a stunning revelation, Paul Landis, an 88-year-old former Secret Service agent, has broken his silence after 60 years regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Landis, who was assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy at the time, was just a few feet away when the tragic incident occurred in Dallas, Texas.
“I’m beginning to doubt myself,” Landis confessed in a recent interview with the New York Times. He cast doubt on the government-backed Warren Commission’s finding that a “magic bullet” struck and exited the president before hitting then-Texas Gov. John Connally Jr. This theory has been heavily criticized and has fueled alternative theories about the assassination.
Landis recalled the chaotic scene at Dealy Plaza, where he heard multiple gunshots and witnessed President Kennedy being shot in the head. He vividly remembered seeing the president still moving forward after the fatal shot. In a shocking twist, Landis revealed that he personally recovered a near-perfect bullet from the back seat of the president’s limousine.
Concerned that the bullet might be lost or tampered with, Landis took it to the hospital where President Kennedy was taken. He placed the bullet on a stretcher to ensure its preservation. This crucial piece of evidence, discovered by Landis, later became the basis for the controversial “magic bullet” theory.
“It was a piece of evidence that I realized right away [was] very important,” Landis emphasized. ”And I didn’t want it to disappear or get lost. So it was, ‘Paul, you’ve got to make a decision’—and I grabbed it.”
However, Landis admitted that he did not believe the bullet had penetrated deeply into President Kennedy’s back before exiting. He described it as “popping back out” before the president was removed from the limousine.
Reflecting on the aftermath of the assassination, Landis expressed his frustration with the lack of scene security. He felt that all the agents present were solely focused on protecting the president, leaving the area vulnerable. It wasn’t until 2014 that Landis discovered discrepancies between his account and the Warren Commission’s report.
According to Landis, he filed two separate reports with the Commission, but neither mentioned the recovery of the bullet or its placement on a stretcher. In a state of shock and sleep-deprived, he only reported hearing gunshots. This revelation has raised questions about the credibility of the Commission’s findings.
For six decades, Landis chose to remain silent about the events he witnessed. When asked why, he admitted, “I didn’t want to talk about it.” The weight of the tragedy and the fear of potential wrongdoing haunted him. Landis left the Secret Service shortly after the assassination, seeking solace from the painful memories.
The testimony of Paul Landis adds a new layer of complexity to the JFK assassination, challenging the official narrative and reigniting public interest in the case. As the truth continues to elude us, the search for answers persists.
