Sen. Arlen Specter Confronted on Magic Bullet Theory

Aaron Dykes / JonesReport.com April 8, 2008

Senator Arlen Specter answered queries from We Are Change reporters regarding the magic (single) bullet theory he authored in light of former CIA agent E. Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession admitting knowledge and involvement in the plot to assassinate JFK.

Specter acknowledged he’d heard about the confession, but didn’t know the details. Nevertheless, he stood by the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Oswald had acted alone (as he was indeed involved in the commission’s findings).

“I believe the Warren Commission was correct,” Specter told the audience, noting the abundance of ‘rumors’ claiming otherwise.

“But in America, and the world, nothing stays secret. I think if there had been a conspiracy, we’d have found out about it a long time ago,” said Specter.

The defense of his single-bullet theory, though expected, is ridiculous not only due to its absurdity under the laws of physics, or Hunt’s confession and the numerous witnesses and other evidence pointing towards a second shooter, but because the House Select Committee on Assassinations determined that the JFK assassination was a “probable conspiracy.”

That finding was based on careful acoustical analysis of the shooting as well as the testimony of a number of witnesses and suspects, including CIA agent E. Howard Hunt (who vehemently denied his involvement at the time).

Further, David Morales, a CIA agent whom Hunt named as a co-conspirator in the JFK plot, previously told both his lawyer and his brother that he was involved in both the JFK and RFK murders:

“I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch, and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard.”

Morales died only weeks before he was scheduled to testify before the House Committee, prompting a number of suspicions about his death.

Former President LBJ, who was also named as a co-conspirator by Hunt, met with FBI head J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon and a number of oil men the night before JFK’s assassination in the Dallas area.

LBJ’s mistress, Madeline Duncan Brown, attended the meeting and says that LBJ told her afterwards “after tomorrow, those SOBs will never embarrass me again - that’s no threat - that’s a promise.”

President Gerald Ford, who was also a member of the Warren Commission, himself cast doubt on the report’s validity in a book he wrote shortly before his death about his experiences in the Warren Commission in which he reports that the FBI destroyed documents and that other evidence was covered up.

Nevertheless, Specter says he stands by his unlikely ballistics theory as well as the Warren Commission’s conclusions.

“I may be wrong, but I’m honest,” he told We Are Change reporters after defending their right to videotape when a member of security tried to stop them. “I’m in the public domain,” Specter quipped. “You’re allowed to film me. I’ve been recorded a lot and I stand by what I say.”
