Do you believe the HSCA and the Warren Commission or your Lying Eyes/Ears?
In 1977, just two years after the first public showing of the Zapruder film, with the Warren Commission coverup crumbling like a house of cards, the American people screamed for a real investigation. Along with the Zapruder evidence, newly discovered Dallas PD dictabelt recordings from Dealey Plaza were released. The HSCA was forced to have this acoustic evidence analyzed by scientific experts as to the number, origin, timing and direction of the shots. Sure enough, the experts concluded that FOUR shots were fired, not three. The visual and acoustic evidence was synchronized and the HSCA was forced to conclude that there had to be a second gunman.
But wait. The HSCA would still dare not question the Warren Magic Bullet Theory that Oswald did the firing. The coverup had to continue.What to do? The solution to this conundrum: admit there must have been a second gunman and at the same time conclude that there "probably" was a conspiracy.
Now, how could the Government fool the American people again? Conclude that the second gunman at the grassy knoll must have MISSED. That Oswald made all the shots. This way the bogus Warren Commission conclusions . based on the magic bullet was perpetuated..
The HSCA was literally forced at the last minute to admit that it probably was a conspiracy, due to the overwhelming acoustical evidence. But it dared not question the Magic Bullet Theory and all the other Warren Commission myths -in fact, it supported them.
In other words, the HSCA continued to perpetuate the coverup through a "limited hangout". Yes, it was probably a conspiracy, but Oswald still was the only shooter who hit JFK. What crap! Oswald shot at nobody that day.
Acoustic evidence confirmed at least a 95% probability that a shot was fired from the Grassy Knoll area. Thus, the HSCA official conclusion was that JFK murder was probably a conspiracy. Three shots were the maximum number for the 1964 Warren Commission "magic bullet theory", which also required that JFK and Connally must have been hit by a single bullet. Of course, some of the Warren Commission never even saw the Zapruder film.
The HSCA were forced to admit a conspiracy at virtually the last minute, when the acoustic evidence was admitted. HSCA INTENDED TO COVER UP, JUST AS THE WARREN COMMISSION HAD 15 YEARS EARLIER. IN FACT, CHIEF INVESTIGATOR RICHARD SPRAUGE WAS FIRED EARLY ON WHEN HE INSISTED ON A FULLY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
OF COURSE, THE MEDIA HAS AVOIDED MENTIONING THIS CONCLUSION OF THE HSCA INVESTIGATION EVER SINCE.LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
From the Report, here is how the HSCA ultimately failed the American people:
"Accordingly, if the shot from the grassy knoll occurred at frame 312, no shot fired from the Texas School Book Depository would have struck the President in the head at any time. Such a finding is contrary to the weight of the scientific evidence. The committee concluded, therefore, that the shot fired from the grassy knoll was not the shot visually represented at Zapruder frame 312: that the shot from the grassy knoll missed President Kennedy; It was determined by medical, ballistics and neutron activation evidence that the President was struck in the head by a bullet fired from a rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Accordingly, if the shot from the grassy knoll occurred at frame 312, no shot fired from the Texas School Book Depository would have struck the President in the head at any time. Such a finding is contrary to the weight of the scientific evidence. The committee concluded, therefore, that the shot fired from the grassy knoll was not the shot visually represented at Zapruder frame 312: that the shot from the grassy knoll missed President Kennedy.."
…. "Where it was available, the committee extensively employed scientific analysis to assist it in the resolution of numerous issues. The committee considered all the other evidence available to evaluate the scientific analysis. In conclusion, the committee found that the scientific acoustical evidence established a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John f. Kennedy. Other scientific evidence did not preclude the possibility of two gunmen firing at the President, but it did negate some specific conspiracy allegations".
B. SCIENTIFIC ACOUSTICAL EVIDENCE ESTABLISHES A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT TWO GUNMAN FIRED AT PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY; OTHER SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF TWO GUNMEN FIRING AT THE PRESIDENT; SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE NEGATES SOME SPECIFIC CONSPIRACY ALLEGATIONS
The committee tried to take optimum advantage of scientific analysis in exploring issues concerning the assassination. In many cases, it was believed that scientific information would be the most reliable information available, since some witnesses had died and the passage of time had caused the memories of remaining witnesses to fail and caused other problems affecting the trustworthiness of their testimony.
The tape and acoustical analysis indicated that, in addition to the shot from the knoll, there were three shots fired at President Kennedy from the Texas School Book Depository. This aspect of the analysis was corroborated or independently substantiated by three cartridge cases found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963, cartridge cases that had been fired in Oswald's rifle,(97) along with other evidence related to the number of shots fired from Oswald's rifle. This corroboration was considered significant by the committee, since it tended to prove that the tape did indeed record the sounds of shots during the assassination.

Since the medical, ballistics and neutron activation analysis evidence, taken together, established that the President was struck by two bullets fired from Oswald's rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, the committee sought to determine if such shots could have struck the President, given the known position of his body, even the grassy knoll shot struck him st Zapruder frame 312. The results correlating the acoustical tape to the film, assuming the shot from the knoll was at Zapruder frame 312, are as follows(107):
Zapruder frame Acoustical determination of origin
Impulse pattern I 173-177 TSBD Impulse pattern II 205-298 TSBD Impulse pattern III 312 Grassy knoll Impulse pattern IV 328-329 TSBD
