JFK: the magic bullet theory, John Connally and simple logic
If we reject the magic bullet theory what do we make of John Connally's injuries?
Single-bullet theory (Wikipedia)
The single-bullet theory, also known as the magic-bullet theory,[1] was introduced by the Warren Commission in its investigation of the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy to explain what happened to the bullet that struck Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat. Given the lack of damage to the presidential limousine consistent with it having been struck by a high-velocity bullet, and the fact that Texas Governor John Connally was wounded and was seated on a jumper seat 1+1⁄2 feet (0.5 meters) in front of and slightly to the left of the president, the Commission concluded they were likely struck by the same bullet.
Generally credited to Warren Commission staffer Arlen Specter[2] (later a United States Senator from Pennsylvania), this theory posits that a single bullet, known as "Warren Commission Exhibit 399" or "CE 399", caused all the wounds to the governor and the non-fatal wounds to the president, which totals up to seven entry/exit wounds in both men.[3]
The theory says that a three-centimeter-long (1.2") copper-jacketed lead-core bullet from a 6.5×52mm Mannlicher–Carcano rifle fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository passed through President Kennedy's neck into Governor Connally's chest, went through his right wrist, and embedded itself in Connally's left thigh. If so, this bullet traversed a back brace, 15 layers of clothing, seven layers of skin, and approximately 15 inches (38 cm) of muscle tissue, and pulverized 4 inches (10 cm) of Connally's rib, and shattered his radius bone. The bullet was found on a gurney in the corridor at Parkland Memorial Hospital after the assassination. The Warren Commission found that this gurney was the one that had carried Governor Connally.[4]
Unsurprisingly, the Warren Commission only speaks of the “magic bullet” explanation as a theory because no sensible person would accept it as a real possibility, would they? And we can see that even Wikipedia expresses incredulity in, “If so, this bullet traversed a back brace, 15 layers of clothing, seven layers of skin, and approximately 15 inches of muscle tissue, and pulverized 4 inches of Connally’s rib, and shattered his radius bone.”

Governor Connally sustained multiple injuries as a result of the gunfire. The most significant injuries were to his chest, right wrist, and left thigh. The second bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald struck Connally, causing a comminuted fracture of the right fifth rib, a punctured right lung, and a wound in his right wrist. The bullet then exited through his inner thigh, causing a superficial wound. Connally's injuries were serious, but he ultimately survived the attack after receiving medical treatment.
The thing is though if we reject the theory, the question is raised of what to make of John Connally’s injuries. Do we believe those occurred … but not in accordance with the magic bullet theory? It’s a little like Shylock’s pound of flesh. He can’t have the pound of flesh because he’ll take blood as well - can we at the same time reject the magic bullet theory but accept John Connally’s injuries or do we have to reject both?

John Connally’s injuries simply make no sense regardless of what theory you apply and no serious ballistics explanation for whichever bullet theory you care to name has ever been provided. Where are the experts explaining how this strange combination of injuries came to occur?
We are told (Wikipedia):
… the Connallys never accepted the theory. While they agreed with the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald acted alone, they insisted that all three shots struck occupants of the limousine.[45]
However, the Connallys in no way deny the injuries allegedly suffered by John Connally. If we must infer that John Connally wasn’t injured as stated then we can also only infer that he was “in on” the event and if he were in on the event we would not have expected him to be asked to nor agree to sit in front of a person who he knew was going to be assassinated.
The impossibility of John Connally’s injuries are just one of various avenues that direct us to the conclusion that the assassination was staged. They always tell us the truth, don’t they, underneath the magic propaganda dust?
The purpose of propaganda is not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponds to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.
Edited quote from Theodore Dalrymple, aka Anthony Daniels, British psychiatrist (emphasis added)
The propaganda strategy for the staged JFK assassination is the same one used for 9/11 and other psyops, namely, the False Dilemma. For JFK, we are given two options:
Story A: Lone gunman
Story B: Cabal
when the reality is C: Cabal but assassination was staged.
The False Dilemma is an extremely effective strategy because if disbelievers only have a half-truth - half-truths making great lies - then they are in no position to advise others of the truth because they don’t have it themselves! (See Catte Black’s The Function of the Fake Binary.)

Also see how no still from the alleged “live” shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald matches the famous photograph … even remotely. As it is said, they always let us know the truth underneath the propaganda.
It was a movie set, the whole thing was a scripted ritual, like most his-story; just theatre for the masses
Yes, a theater and they were all in on it because they all agreed to get into an unprotected car in the middle of a jungle.
