JFK: A Sitting Duck in Dallas

In the puzzle about the magnicide of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, there is a piece that seems to be clearly guessed within that ocean of conspiracy theories that have been surrounding the tragic event since that fateful November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza in Dallas: the incomprehensible lack of protection that accompanied the presidential vehicle during its journey from the airport to the heart of the Texan city, turning its occupants, and specifically the President, into a sitting duck -easy target-. Read More
