Program Title: Living History: Dealey Plaza 1st person eyewitness James Tague.
Description: Tonight living history. The Warren Commission was put together by the American Government to investigate the assassination and was about to release its findings to the press. There were three empty bullet shells found in the snipers nest of purported assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Three bullets, three shots and three wounds all originating from the sniper's nest in the Texas School Book depository and all fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. According to the Warren Commission’s first report (there would soon be two) the first shot hit Kennedy low in the back between the shoulder blades. As Kennedy leaned to the side he exposed Gov. Connolly sitting on the limousine's jump seat in front of him, the second shot hit Connolly. The third and final shot hit Kennedy in the head killing him. A nice, neat, tidy package except James Tague courageously stepped forward to ask where his wound, the fourth wound, came from. Now the Warren Commission had a major problem: how could they possibly explain only three empty shell casings from Oswald's gun but now four bullets? Stop the presses. Hence the Warren Commission virtually went back to the drawing board and came up with what we now know as "the Magic Bullet theory".

The Commission decided that there were still only three bullets but now they caused four wounds. The first now had missed the car completely and had hit a curb where it ricochet and hit James Teague standing by the over pass watching the motorcade. The second hit Kennedy in the back but now, Gerald Ford who was a Commission member in 1964 before he became President a decade later, decided that in order to present the evidence to coincide with the theory virtually moved the wound up from Kennedy’s back to Kennedy’s neck in the Report. I’m not making this up this is historical fact, but wait there’s more. This bullet went on to go through Kennedy’s back of his neck exit Kennedy’s throat go through Connolly , break a rib, break a wrist and then lodge itself in Connelly’s leg having caused 7 wounds in Connolly alone. But when the bullet was found conveniently laying on a gurney at Parkland Hospital it was not distorted at all and there was no blood or tissue found on it. Uh-huh. Not kidding, check the report out for yourself. Now you know why it's called the “Magic Bullet�. The third and last bullet apparently hit Kennedy in the back of the head where, instead of exiting from the front of the head, it blew the back of his head off and caused Kennedy to thrust backward, not forward, and to the left. Hands up all who have been hunting and have seen wounds and bullets act like the ones described above.

Tonight the true, courageous, story of a Dealey Plaza 1st person eyewitness James Tague. Tonight living history of a young 27 year old man who's beliefs and innocence were shattered that day in Dealey Plaza. Tonight we present that true life testament by none other than James tague himself. Folks it doesn't get any more real than this. Strap in and hang on here we go.
