For decades, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been shrouded in mystery.
Now, a former Secret Service agent who was on duty when JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963 has come forward to speak…and puts into question the accepted narrative of events.
88-year-old Paul Landis insists he has no ulterior motives and only wants the American public to draw their own conclusions.
His upcoming memoir is expected to challenge the “magic bullet theory” established by the Warren Commission following its investigation into the assassination.

The Warren Commission concluded that one of the bullets fired at Kennedy’s motorcade struck him from behind, exited his throat and then proceeded to wound Texas Governor John Connally in multiple places – chest, back, wrist and thigh – all from one single bullet.
It was due to this bizarre occurrence that gave rise to the term “magic bullet” being used in reference to it.
The Commission stated that this bullet had been recovered from a stretcher believed to have held Connally at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
Landis disputes this claim however, according to him he found said magic bullet not in Parkland Hospital but inside President Kennedy’s limousine itself.
In his own words: “There was nobody there to secure the scene…all the agents that were there were focused on President Kennedy.” He then continued “I realized right away it [the magic bullet was]…very important…I didn’t want it to disappear or get lost.”
As for what happened after that Landis believes these two stretchers containing JFK and Connally were pushed together resulting in this same bullet falling onto Connally’s stretcher instead of JFK’s where he first placed it.
Despite still believing Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone throughout all this time Landis has recently begun questioning himself saying “Now I begin to wonder”.
While his new account may bring forth some doubt as far as how many people were actually involved or how much evidence supports any claims made about who did what during those tragic days we will never truly know without more hard evidence coming forth.
