Le jour de son arrestation, Lee Oswald fut soumis à un test de recherche de dérivés nitrés, lequel montra qu'il n'avait pas tiré de coup de fusil au cours des dernières vingt-quatre heures. Ce fait fut gardé secret pendant dix mois, à la fois par le gouvernement et la police de Dallas.
Pendant plus de cinq ans, le film amateur du témoin Abraham Zapruder fut dissimulé au public dans un coffre par le magazine Life. Cette vidéo montre Kennedy propulsé en arrière - ce qui prouve clairement qu'il a été touché de face.
Environ une heure avant l'arrivée du cortège de Kennedy, Jack Ruby, l'homme qui tuera ensuite Lee Oswald, a été aperçu le long de la butte, recevant d'un homme un fusil dans un étui. La déclaration de Julia Ann Mercer, le témoin de ce fait, fut modifiée par le F.B.I. de manière à ce qu'il en ressorte qu'elle avait été incapable d'indentifier Ruby. Cette frauduleuse modification n'a jamais été expliquée ni même déniée par le gouvernement.
Après l'autopsie du corps du Président par les services militaires le cerveau a disparu. Durci par le formol, il aurait pu montrer de quelle direction la balle était venue. Les photographies et les radios de l'autopsie qui auraient pu aussi résoudre ce problème, ne furent jamais examinées par la commission Warren. Le médecin légiste chargé de l'autopsie à l'hôpital naval de Bethesda brûla dans sa propre cheminée le rapport original de l'autopsie.

Oswald"s assgnement at Japan's Atsugi Air Base in 1957, before he came to El Toro was consistent with the possibility that he had been working in military intelligence. Atsugy, I discovered, was the base for all the daily super-secret U-2 intelligence lights over China.Oswald's anti-arcraft unit, wich required a highly classified security clearance, had the duty of guarding a U-2 hangar. It was surrounded by a high, heavily wired fence.[...] I thought Oswald's possible intelligence role at Asugi might be confirmed by two Central Intelligeence Agency document mentioned in the Waren Commission

On effectua sur Oswald, le soir de l’assassinat, le test au nitrate. Ce test révèle les traces de poudre sur les joues d’un individu quand il a fait usage d’un fusil. Le test révéla qu’Oswald n’avait pas tiré avec une arme à feu durant la journée du 22 novembre 1963. Quoi qu’il en soit, pour des raisons que seul le gouvernement et ses enquêteurs connaissent ce fait fut gardé secret pendant 10 mois.

On the day of his arrest, Lee Oswald was given a nitrate test, the results of wich showed that he had not fired a rifle in the previous 24 hours. This facct was kept secret by both the federal governement and the Dallas police for ten months.

Billy Lovelady, an employee of the Book Depository who was having lunch on tis front steps, recollected the shots as having come from "right there around that concrete little deal on that knoll... between the indergrass and the building right on that knoll."
Abraham Zapruder, who became famous for the home movie he took of the shooting, was standing on a cement slab by the grassy knoll with his back to the picker fence. He describe the police officers running past him, headed behind the knoll area. As to where the shootig came from, he added; "Ialso thought it came from back of me."

However, according to the Waren Commission report, all of the Secret Service agents assigned to the parade had gone along with it en route to the hospital. The Secret Service was on record that not a single one of its agents was at the scene of the assassination, other than those passing through in the motorcade-and all of them were gone in minutes. This meant either that the Secret Service was lying or mistaken or than the man Officer Smith encountered was nor really a Secret Service agent.

Then one day that autumn I had a chance conversation with Russell Long, th United State senator from Lousiana. The subject of Kennedy's assassination arose. To this day, I recall his words : "Those felllows on the Warren Commission were dead wrong." he said in his blunt fashion. "There's no way that man could have shot up Jack Kennedy that way."
I was suprised to hear this from one of the most intelligent members of the U.S. seante, a man I Knew personnally and deeply respected.

First of all, given what was known about Oswalds movements, it was hightly improbable that he could have been psysically present at the time of Tipit's muder.

Five days before the assassination the New Orleans F.B.I. office received a telexed warning that an attempt would be made to assassinate the President in Dallas at the end of the week. The Bureau did not pass on the warning to the secret Service or other authorities. Shortly after the assassination, the telex message was removed from the file drawer of the New Orleans office of the Bureau.

Arnold glanced up at the Book Depository, and at the easternmost end of the sixt floor (where the alleged "assassin's lair" was located) he noticed a dark-skinned man [Oswald est blanc] whom he descrbed at "an eldery Negro". However, at the westernmost end of the sixt floor (the opposie of the building) he saw a man stnding just back from the winddow, with a rifle in his hands.
