JFK Assassination Conspiracy Theory #2 Quiz

Answer: Jackie Kennedy

The famous Zapruder home movie of the assassination shows Jackie Kennedy climbing out on to the trunk of the limousine in the seconds following the fatal head shot. At first it appears that Agent Hill, who has run from the Secret Service follow-up car, is pushing her back in - but in reality she is fetching a piece of skull and returns to the back seat on her own.

Answer: 11 mph

Analysis of the Zapruder film shows that the limousine traveled at a consistent 11 mph during the whole shooting sequence - in fact the brake lights can be seen to come on in some films. Driver Will Greer was perhaps confused by the echoes in Dealey Plaza and either thought the shots were coming from the front (therefore he slowed) or the shots were actually coming from the front (although no hard evidence can substantiate this).

Answer: Buell Wesley Frazier

Oswald was reported to have identified himself as Leon Oswald to the Odio sisters, which is controversial because he was supposed to have been in Mexico City at the time. He used O.H. Lee as the registered name at Earlene Roberts rooming house, and his picture was found on a card in his possession at the time of his arrest with the name Alek Hidell on it. Frazier is a real person who gave Oswald a lift to work that fateful morning.

Answer: Four

He came to work in Buell Wesley Frazier's car, after the assassination walked east on Elm Street, then boarded a bus westbound back to Dealey Plaza (!), walked to the bus depot, took a cab to Earlene Robert's rooming house, walked to the Texas Theatre, then had a police car ride from there to police headquarters.

Answer: Victor Mature

Photos of the arrest show that neither Victor Mature nor his name were anywhere near the theatre!

Answer: Abortion

Henry Wade is the 'Wade' of 'Roe v. Wade', which was the case the US Supreme Court heard to make a landmark ruling that resulted in the legalization of abortion in the United States.

Answer: Governor of California

He was governor of California and in return for seeing to Dwight Eisenhower's nomination as Republican candidate for president in 1952, he was appointed by Eisenhower to the federal court.

Answer: Bubble roof for the limousine

After a rainy morning in Ft. Worth, and after Air Force One touched down after the short hop to Love Field, Gov. Connally remarked, 'Our luck is holding, it looks like we'll get sunshine.' The Secret Service therefore did not put up the limousine's bubble top which may have obscured a target from any shooter. BTW - there *WERE* Secret Service agents in the limousine, one driving and one in the passenger seat in the front.

Answer: theater

Answer: Nellie Connally

Nellie Connally's remark was well intentioned, as there had been worries that Dallasites would create some ugly scenes. Police Chief Curry had even gone on TV in the days previous to warn that bad behaviour would not be tolerated. Unfortunately, this remark was perhaps the last thing said to John Kennedy.

Answer: Aubrey 'Al' Rike

Perry performed the tracheotomy, Clark signed the death certificate, and Crenshaw wrote a book saying that Kennedy had been hit from the front. Aubrey Rike worked for the funeral home and it was he who loaded Kennedy's body into a casket at the hospital.

Answer: Interfering with an autopsy

Dr. Earl Rose was the Dallas County medical examiner and attempted to prevent the Secret Service from taking Kennedy's body to Love Field, in preparation for the flight back to Washington. Under Texas law, and with no federal legislation at the time covering the homicide of a president, Rose had legal authority to hold an autopsy. If he had, then most likely no one would be arguing about conspiracy or no conspiracy this day.

While stupid, drinking was not a violation of Texas law.

Answer: Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania

Simply put - not Single Bullet Theory, then there's a conspiracy of some kind, whether large or small is the only question. Three bullets, one wounds James Tague, a bystander, another is the fatal head shot at Zapruder frame 313. The third bullet, then, needs to make 7 wounds in two men, smashing bone in the process, and lodges in John Connally's leg, only to fall out on a hospital stretcher five miles away in pristine condition. Arlen Specter was then a staff lawyer for the Warren Commission and came up with this, even though both the FBI and the Secret Service doubted it could have happened that way.

But Specter's logic demanded it - or else, there was a conspiracy. Strangely enough, both Governor and Nellie Connally's consistent testimony over the years about the timing of the shots shreds the logic, even though they both still believed there was no conspiracy.

Answer: He boarded the plane at Andrews moments earlier

People who remember seeing Air Force One's landing at Andrews on live T.V. (rare in those days) at first were confused at seeing Bobby on the truck lift. But then it occurred to many, 'How'd he get on that plane?' He'd run up the stairs at the front and bolted through the interior of the jet to get to the back where his brother's body was being unloaded. BTW - it was a non-stop flight from Dallas to Washington that sad day.

Answer: John McCormack

John W. McCormack was the 88th Speaker of the House of Representatives and by the Constitution of the US, was the 2nd in line after the Vice-President to the presidency. He served from Jan 1963 until Jan 1969.
