When was the Kennedy assassination actually planned? The Kennedy Center won't tell us the real reason for the Kennedy assassination conspiracy. What is the only Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory that eliminates the impossible to find the probable? Who is Bobby Hargis and how did he know that Kennedy was shot from the front? Kennedy and Oswald were pulled together by Kennedy's fame and Oswald's obscurity. So, who did Kennedy so enrage and so threaten that they would determine to kill him? Who failed Kennedy so badly that he removed them from their positions of power? Why did these people insist that it was Kennedy that failed the country so badly that he deserved to die? Didn't anybody even try to come to his rescue? Is this what they mean when they say Kennedy was fragged? What does fragged mean, anyway? In Kennedy Was Fragged, we tell the story from the point of view of someone who knows enough about combat shooting to demonstrate the physical and logical impossibility of the Warren Commission account. We reveal how the Warren Commission was formed to protect the individuals and institutions that, in those days, ruled America. The work compares the assassination to the phenomenon of "fragging" in Vietnam with which the author is also knowledgeable. The book is based upon a lifetime of research and experience with intelligence work and combat shooting. Here's the first paragraph of Kennedy Was Fragged. "On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, President of the United States John F. Kennedy was fragged. I say this because, unfortunately, I became very familiar with the concept of fragging in the war in Vietnam, a war in which I unambivalently served, but about which President Kennedy was very ambivalent. He was very ambivalent about a lot of things that 'hawks' wanted him to do and so a hawk coalition formed to take him out. The fraggers didn't want him to harm the country with his supposed weakness and wrong headedness. Also, looking at the physical facts quite literally on the ground, observation with experience or even just logic shows that Lee Harvey Oswald could not possibly have made those shots. If that is impossible, then my 'fragging' thesis becomes inevitable. I shall explain." This is from our conclusion. "In 2004, on my way home from the War in Iraq, I went to the Sixth Floor Museum in the Texas Book Depository Building. You can't stand where Oswald stood. His perch is glassed off, the boxes still in place. You can stand in the next window down, however. I did that and imagined Oswald trying for that shot, out that window, with that rifle, down that street, through that tree, at that man in that car. I knew from my own experience with shooting that it could not be done. "I went to the grassy knoll. I got behind the arbor on the parking lot side with railroad tracks and box cars still there beyond the lot (everything in and around Dealey Plaza is preserved exactly as it was on that day). I took up a supported firing position and saw the X on the street right in front of me. Even before I plunged into my research I knew what had happened." Come with us into the true story of the clash of youthful, romantic, idealistic morality and ethics held by beautiful children like John Kennedy or at least by the people who loved the idea of John Kennedy against hate-filled, vengeful, arrogant, self righteous power mongers." Author Tip Boxell writes, "If we today understand the Kennedy assassination and take away from it the truth that is of value, then maybe, in some strange way, as if I were there in Dealey Plaza, on November 22, 1963, I will have returned fire."
