That was a sad day in 1963

Governor and Mrs. Connally invited our UT fraternity for a reception at the Governor's Mansion in 1965. John, Jr. was a fraternity brother. Governor and Mrs. Connally were warm and delightful.

Seems to be a calm, respectful interview. A man to be respected. I'm glad he survived the shooting.

Hell how could you ever forget.

The angle of his wound was not indicative of a 6th floor shot respective of the angle of the window. An Enfield rifle was found on roof of building on the NE corner. This angle is more representative of Connelly’s wound.

Very interesting interview. I wish the agent in the front ride seat could have responded in stead of ducking his head for cover like the driver. The training is much better now. The agent would have had to jump over the Governor to protect the President, but hearing an unusual noise, in this case a rifle report, an instant response to cover and protect was warranted, and not even attempted. R.IP. President Kennedy.

The government should be able to exhume and examine his body to recover possible evidence of a bullet in his leg. Just that action under transparent circumstances, could go a long way to indicate the number and location of shots in the plaza.

Shots 2 and 3 came too close together to be from the same gun. There is abundant testimony to this fact.

Johnson should have been in the car instead of Connally

I bet it scared him to death. He was our governor. He must have known, afterwards what there was to know. Dang. We have NEVER recovered from this brazen act.

He did say THE SECOND SHOT hit him! That is also what Hoover and LBJ discussed on Tape, thus underlining the Magic Bullet Lie.

You never hear the shot that hits you

Every credible witness (Connally, UPI reporter Merriman Smith, NBC's Robert McNeil) say they heard three shots.

Big business dictates politics and government.

Love him and Nellie. Good gracious, he is not an expert on what happened, though, what bullets did what.

He was a thoughtful man. As for many of the people leaving comments, they are animals plain and simple.

The reason he felt such a strong impact was because the bullet was sideways.

A very interesting combination of real soul searching and "time to move on, nothing to see here."

Connally did not mention the first shot which missed the motorcade completely.

4:33

Five shots two missed two gunman dressed as cops

Just the Look on LBJ's face Says it All....And he Should Have been in the Limousine with Kennedy...😠

John conlee was very loyal to the Saudi Arabian oil interests. He delivered the money to the Iranians in the Iran-Contra affair.

Since you never hear the shot that hits you. Connally heard the first shot that missed and the third shot that hit JFK.

Almost every answer was sarcastic with a sarcastic tone. He said he didn't want to do the interview and it was evident.

Sounds the way I imagineAbe Lincoln would've sounded like.

This 🇮🇹🗽poor guy got caught cross hair🇮🇹

12:46 I think he spoke too soon. I don't think America ever fully recovered from it. I think It damaged the country extensively.

A crime is crime historical 'today'tomorrow'to pursue a truth'that's true.

True they were hit in different parts of the anatomy, but why was he driven forward after being shot in the back, while JFK was driven backward after being shot in the back of the head? The easy answers are 1) the neuromuscular response is different, & 2 JFK was shot in the front of the head.

The answer has been there since the shooting. Listen to every interview JBC gave; "I heard a shot over my right shoulder. I turned to my right to try to see the President. I couldn't see him out of the corner of my eye, so I started to turn to my left and when I was half way turned, looking forward, I was hit, and it doubled me over..." Watch the Z film, he doubled over at the head shot. Been there in plain site.

He proves Oswald was framed. 3 distinct shots in so short a time = at least 2 shooters. Plus a shot hit the curb, the grass, James Tague (debris) and the windshield and the chrome of the car. As many as 8 shots. 4 shots at an absolute minimum = CONSPIRACY to kill

He still had PTSD from being shot. No wonder he was reluctant to revisit the event. And no, LBJ was not involved in the assassination. People are so ignorant these days.

I believe this man. He was in that car. I think Oswald did it. And I’ve read and listened to all the books. I believe whatjohm connely says.

Wasn't LBJ supposed to be in the car but managed to get Connally to go instead?

U were up to your neck in it. Money Money Money. That is were it was. Correct Mr Connally.

Listen to him very intently he heard a rifle shot he turned to his right he was not able to see the president out of the corner of his eye.He was in the process of turning back to his left when he felt something hit him in the back that felt like something hit him like a bladed up fist.He said I did not feel a great pain no sensation I was hit by a bullet.Now common sense says if he was hit by his own separate bullet he would not have described it this way.He surely would have had great pain and probably would not have survived. Common sense folks.

I don't believe the official findings, I wish I did but God gave me enough sense to look at as much evidence as possible and to draw my own conclusions and after doing so I believe there was at least 4 shots and possibly as many as 6 shots fired. I do not believe the single bullet or magic bullet theory. There was another shot that missed and threw concrete into a spectator's face. Though Oswald was a marksman with the M1 rifle there is no way he could have fired 4 or 6 shots in that short of a period of time. If the shot that struck Kennedy's head had come from behind why didn't the large pieces of flesh and brain go forward into the car? I know some did but you can still see very clearly in the Z film the pieces going backwards across the trunk and Jackie even went after some of it. YES i know the car was moving, but it was barley moving. The secret service agent was able to run and catch up with the car. To me it would seem that that wasn't fast enough to project that much brain matter backwards. There is also evidence that the CIA had already prepared for the assassination when they were contacted by the agents in Mexico City and they asked if HQ had any knowledge of who oswald was and they lied. Why lie about Oswald before the assassination unless you already knew waht was coming. Oswald was definitely involved somehow, but i don't believe he fired the fatal bullet, the head shot came from either the overpass or the Picket fence on the grassy knoll. I also know that LBJ had the most to gain, not only in power but also in money, Ladybird Johnson Owned a large portion of Bell Helicopter who would make most of the helicopters used during the Vietnam War which Johnson escalated. I also know Johnson was desperate because he and many believed that Kennedy was going to drop him from the ticket, Johnson was also jealous of the love that Kennedy received from the public. Johnson and the Government wanted Oswald to appear to have just enough connection to the USSR that he could convince the Warren Commission that it was essential for Oswald to be named the lone gunman or otherwise prepare for WWIII because there would be no avoiding WWIII if the public believed Oswald was a Soviet Agent. I just wish I knew beyond any doubt, why was our president murdered, was it really all about money, What part if any did officer JD Tippett play in any of this, and why make it such a public and brutal murder, was this the military industrial complex that Eisenhower had warned the nation about?

From the "LA Times" by author J. Reston, author of "The Accidental Victim," which claims that Lee Harvey Oswald's target was NOT JFK but Texas Governor John Connally: "In the hours after the Kennedy assassination, after Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit and was identified as the president's assassin, a Secret Service officer named Mike Howard was dispatched to Oswald's apartment. Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading "I WILL KILL" Oswald listed four men: an FBI agent named James Hosty; a right-wing general, Edwin Walker; and Vice President Richard Nixon. At the top of the list was the governor of Texas, John Connally. Through Connally's name, Oswald had drawn a dagger, with blood drops dripping downward. Special Agent Howard turned the address book over to the FBI and, ultimately, to the Warren Commission. Only some time later did he learn that the list with its hugely important insight into the killer's motive had been torn out of the book. I didn't hear about Howard until after I published my book "The Accidental Victim" three years ago on the 50th anniversary of the assassination. In it I argue a circumstantial case that it was Connally, not John F. Kennedy, who was Oswald's target in Dallas. It is the story of a smoldering grudge in which Oswald came to associate Connally with all the setbacks in his disastrous, hopeless life. In her testimony to the Warren Commission, Oswald’s wife, Marina, definitively named Connally and not Kennedy as her husband’s target. This grudge got started in January 1962. Oswald was in the Soviet Union, where he'd gone after being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. When the Marines learned he wanted to defect, Oswald's discharge was summarily downgraded to undesirable. (The defection was never consummated.) Oswald was angry and for good reason; his actions after his discharge had nothing to do with his three years as a Marine. By early 1962, Oswald was disenchanted with Soviet life and wanted to return home. He was now saddled with a wife, Marina, and a child, and he knew that someone with a ninth-grade education, who had spent time in Russia and had an undesirable discharge on his record, would have few prospects in America. Oswald wrote a heartfelt plea to Connally, a fellow Texan and the head of the Navy Department, the civilian overseer of the Marines. In poignant terms Oswald asked Connally to redress what was a transparent miscarriage of justice. What he got back a month later, in February 1962, was a classic bureaucratic brushoff. The dismissive letter arrived in an envelope with Connally's smiling face on the front, bursting from a Texas star and announcing his bid for the Texas governorship. In the months after Oswald's return to America, his worst fears were realized. He did, indeed, have serious trouble finding and holding jobs in Texas. According to the testimony of Russian emigres in Dallas who knew him during this period, every time his discharge came up in a job interview, Oswald froze, and his blame of Connally deepened. In her testimony to the Warren Commission, Oswald's wife, Marina, definitively named Connally and not Kennedy as her husband's target. She repeated this belief in testimony to the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978. Dallas emigres also testified to Oswald's obsession with Connally. Moreover, there was ample testimony that Oswald bore no animus toward Kennedy. Indeed, he admired JFK's important initiatives like the president's efforts at detente with Russia." ........IF Special Agent Howard passes a polygraph exam concerning the missing page from Oswald's diary, Mr. Reston's theory explains why Oswald was angry at FBI Agent Hosty, why he shot at and barely missed retired General Edwin Walker, a right-wing firebrand, why he told his concerned wife Marina he had gone to "have a look" at Richard Nixon, and why he shot former Secretary of the Navy and Texas Governor John Connally, who was sitting next to President John F. Kennedy in the motorcade. After the assassination, Oswald fatally Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit---whose police car #10 was allegedly observed near the grassy knoll and in front of Oswald's apartment---- after Oswald left his place of employment at the Dallas School Book Depository, after picking up his pistol and a jacket at his apartment, but before he reached the Texas Theater, where he was arrested. There still remains the possibility that Oswald's "handlers" and contacts knew he planned to shoot Governor Connally, and placed a professional "hit man" in another location to fire the kill shot at JFK, using Oswald as a diversion, as a "Patsy." I interviewed Madeline Brown several times on my talk radio show on WFIR AM 960....she seemed honest and sincere to me. Her account (as told in "The Plot to Kill King" by Mr. Pepper, the King family attorney) of an "intimate gathering" at the home of Texas oil billionaire Clint Murchison, attended by key people, including Richard Nixon, Madeline's lover and father of her son, LBJ, John J. McCloy of the Rockefeller oil empire's Chase Bank, and George Brown of Brown and Root, LBJ's main financial "angel," on the evening of November 21, 1963 is quite interesting. The guest of honor at this little soiree? FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover! That dinner party sounds like a private coronation of Lyndon B. Johnson, who became President the next day. I read the entire "Warren Report," including the footnotes and the transcript of the FBI polygraph exam of Jacob Rubinstein, aka "Jack Ruby." Ruby passed the lie detector test, except for the question about his NAME, which he changed to "fit in" to conservative WASP Dallas society. Was Jack Ruby asked or pressured into silencing Lee Harvey Oswald? Ruby had Chicago mob connections and owned the Carousel Strip Club. He had a notoriously hot temper, got into fights with unruly customers, and was known to use his gun. Ruby also took medication which made him irrational and disoriented at times. While in prison for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, Ruby hinted that persons "at the highest levels" of government had the most to gain from JFK's murder, but never directly accused anyone of conspiring to kill JFK. An account of the October 30-November 2, 1963 Chicago plot to kill JFK alleges that both former US Marines Thomas Arthur Vallee and Lee Harvey Oswald were set up as "Patsies" or diversions from the true "hitters" and had received training from U.S. intelligence agencies. Oswald was a paid but low-level informant of at least one government agency. Vallee, who was mentally ill, had criticized JFK publicly, was a member of the right-wing John Birch Society, and possessed weapons and large amounts of ammunition. Vallee was arrested and imprisoned the day after the Secret Service and Chicago PD located four participants in the Chicago plot---which was eerily similar to the events in Dallas three weeks later. At least one of the four plotters was an anti-Castro Cuban. Based on a phone tip to the FBI from an informant named "Lee," (who may have been Lee Harvey Oswald), two of the four-man hit squad were briefly detained; the other two escaped. One of the Chicago Police Dept. officers who arrested Vallee received specialized intelligence training, likely by the CIA, and was the Chicago PD Sergeant commanding the squad which killed Black Panthers Fred Hampton, Mark Clark and others in Chicago several years later.

Connally wanted his own bullet so bad. Mr. Governor, you shared the President's bullet, i.e. collateral damage. Not that the President wanted that bullet in the first place.

No Richard. Most likely you are delusional.

LBJ Criminal Partner

Connally is the guy that essentially lured JFK to Dallas. Remember also that he fought against riding with JFK that day like his life depended on it. Even when JFK insisted he still objected... what a little weasel. A lousy liar too.

My theory Nellie Connally his wife was never there

You can tell when Connolly begins to lie. It’s when his lips started moving. His story changed over time based on what “they” ordered him to say.

Bottom Line Here...beyond all doubts...there was a second shooter. End of Story.

He is full of it he was in on the murder .
