Time	Text
	As we approach the 58th observance of the assassination of our 35th president, I want to dedicate this to Oliver Stone.
	What happened to JFK?
	Did Oliver Stone get it right?
	We all know the official account, three shots fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
	Initially, the FBI and the Secret Service concluded there'd been three shots with three hits.
	That Jack was hit in the back about five and a half inches down below the collar to the right of the spinal column.
	Shallow shot only went in about as far as the second knuckle on your little finger.
	That John Connolly had been hit in the back.
	A bullet that transited his chest, shattered a rib, exited Hit his right wrist and wound up in his left thigh, and a third shot that hit JFK in the back of the head, killing him.
	Notice some important structures here.
	The County Records Building, the Dow Text Building, the Book Depository, of course, the Grassy Knoll, the Wooden Fence, and the Triple Underpass, all of whom will be significant as we proceed.
	Newsweek, interestingly, on the 22nd of November 1963, located the fatal hit further down
	Elm Street, which actually appears to be where he was hit in the right temple by a shot that
	had been fired from the intersection of the Triple Underpass and the Pickett Fence.
	Aller Stone's 1991 masterpiece, JFK, has taken hits from those who are less knowledgeable about the assassination.
	He basically got it right with three significant caveats, which I attribute to his advisor at the time, namely Robert Groton, who concealed from Oliver that JFK That Lee Oswald had been in the doorway of the Book Depository when the motorcade passed by, which meant that he not only could not have been the lone demented gunman, but could not have been one of the multiple shooters of which we have now identified eight.
	He also believed mistakenly that the Zapruder film was authentic, where Robert Grodin has been in the forefront with Josiah Thompson of seeking to insist that the film is the closest thing we have to absolute truth, when in fact it's been massively edited, removing more frames, approximately 500, than remain in the excellent version of the film, 487, and While all of our positive three-hit teams, we now, as I've already mentioned in passing, have identified eight.
	Here we have Malcolm Kilduff, the Acting Press Secretary, pointing to his right temple as the location from which the fatal shot was fired and attributing that finding to Admiral George Berkeley, the President's personal physician.
	If you were watching television that day, NBC for example, you can go back and watch it on See It Now.
	They were reporting two shots as the information came in.
	One, a small clean puncture wound to the throat.
	Which Malcolm Perry, M.D., reported during the Parkland press conference held a half an hour after the announcement of the president's death had been a shot of entry that the bullet was coming at him and the shot to the right temple, which blew out the back of his brains, both of which significantly were fired from in front.
	So I believe when the Warren Commission released its report claiming only shots had been fired from above and behind, that everyone who'd been clued to their television that day subconsciously, if not consciously, thought something was wrong.
	If you put together those two hits with those that the Warren Commission claimed had taken place, Where, when it turned out that one of the shots had missed and injured a distant bystander by the name of James Tague, they had to reconstruct their sequence, move the wound to the back from the location where it had actually entered, as confirmed by the shirt and the jacket Jack was wearing at the time, first to his uppermost back, which was already an exaggeration, but then to the base of the back of the neck, as we shall review.
	So there were only two shots from behind, and keeping the other, hit him in the back of the neck, you'd have four shots to JFK, where today the leading expert on the medical evidence in the assassination, David W. Mantic, MD, PhD, believes there may have been yet a third shot to the head, to the left temple, as I shall explain.
	The Secret Service set him up for the hit.
	I've discovered 15 indications of Secret Service complicity.
	Two agents who would have accompanied the limousine were left behind at Love Field by Emery Rogers, the agent in charge of the presidential protection detail.
	Here, one of them, Henry Rybka, expresses dismay at being called off.
	They would have run alongside the limousine or rid on the back.
	They were the most important agents accompanying the president.
	The motorcycle escort was reduced to four who were instructed not to ride forward of the rear wheels.
	One observed it was the damnedest formation he'd ever seen, but this was to make sure they didn't interfere with a field of fire.
	JFK's military aide, who normally sat between the driver and the agent in charge, whose name was Roy Kellerman, was moved to the last vehicle along with the president's personal physician.
	There are more than 15 indications of Secret Service complicity in setting him up for the hit.
	In addition to the agents left behind in Love Field, the manhole covers were not welded shut.
	Open windows were not covered.
	The crowd was allowed to spill out into the street.
	Look at those open windows.
	Here's a stunning photograph of the crowd spilling into the street in a bus, where an assassin with a handgun could have taken out JFK without any effort whatsoever.
	This was outrageous.
	It occurred in part because 110th Military Intelligence Unit, which ought to have been distributed through the city for crowd control, was ordered to stand down over the adamant opposition of its commanding officer.
	Governor Connally was instrumental in making a change to the motor cab right on November 18th, just four days before the event.
	Normally, a motorcade route once fixed is never changed, so the Secret Service can check every building and occupant.
	The change brought the president past the Texas School Book Depository building.
	In other words, they brought him into the kill zone.
	Most tellingly, the vehicles were in an improper sequence.
	The presidential limousine was placed first.
	More ranking dignitaries, such as the mayor and the vice president, should have preceded him.
	Reporters were moved to the rear, and the president's personal physician to the last car, which put him in the worst location should his patient require emergency medical treatment.
	At Parkland, where the Moribund President was taken, a Secret Service agent took a bucket and sponge and began cleaning up the blood and brains from the limousine.
	Notice, this is the destruction of evidence in the assassination of the President of the United States.
	When onlookers noticed a through-and-through hole in the windshield, the vehicle was moved.
	Here's the interior of the limousine.
	Very, very striking where there were jump seats.
	So he had Jackie with a bouquet of red roses.
	Interestingly, everywhere else she'd been given bouquets of yellow.
	This is significant because red represents stop.
	Jackie was not to be harmed in this event, and it also, of course, located where the president could be found.
	Then in the jump seat, you had Nellie in front of Jackie, and you had John Connolly, the governor, in front of Jack.
	William Greer was driving the limousine, and Roy Kellerman in the passenger seat.
	Here we have a Zapruder film as an indication of, which some insist is the nearest thing we have to absolute truth, but it's far from it.
	As I mentioned already, we have more frames missing.
	Notice that jump from coming up on Elm Street on Houston to turn onto Elm, and all of a sudden, boom, it's there by the Stemmons Freeway sign.
	Notice, too, how the vehicle tends to disappear.
	That's not something that would be normal if it were being panned by a human being, but is consistent with portions of this footage having been taken from a tripod located in the pergola.
	Notice, too, the motionless spectators, one of multiple signs we have that this is not authentic footage, but has been massively edited and revised using the sophisticated techniques of optical printing and special effects.
	The violent back and to the left, by the way, was not observed by any witness in Dealey Plaza, but was an artifact of editing out too many frames, as I shall explain.
	There was what Edgar Hoover would dismiss as a trivial misprinting in the sequence of the frames, which had been noticed by David Lifton, and the blood spray appears to have been painted in.
	If you measure the limousine speed there on Elm Street from Mormon and Hillcliff, it turns out to have been far slower than Secret Service protocol required, which would be a steady 30 miles an hour.
	Here it was actually 10 or less.
	Lift and notice that the frames are out of sequence.
	They should be, of course, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, and 3.16, where every frame of the Zapruder film is numbered.
	but in the supporting volumes for the Warren Commission, they went from 313 to 315 to 314 and
	316, where Lifton had his then-girlfriend at the time write to J. Edgar Hoover with
	the observation they appear to have been in the wrong sequence.
	And Hoover, somewhat surprisingly, wrote back and confirmed that it had been a trivial mistake in printing.
	But of course, it couldn't have been a trivial mistake in printing.
	It was clearly designed to lessen or mitigate the effect of the back and to the left violent motion.
	Which resulted from too many frames having been edited.
	Indeed, what is taking place here is the merging of two different hits.
	Jack was actually hit in the back of the head and slumped forward.
	Jack eased him back up, and it was looking him right in the face when he was hit in the right temple by a bullet that blew his brains out the back of his head.
	In Josiah Thompson's six seconds in Dallas, the best, most scientific, and important part concerns the merging of these two frames.
	When it turns out there's forward motion between 312 and 313, The only part that remains of his slumping forward.
	And then we have the violent back into the left, as you can see here.
	So up into 312, the president's head is steady, but then it moves forward and then dramatically back into the left, which, as I remark, was not in fact observed by anyone, nor even those who have seen what appeared to be the unedited film.
	The first frames, which were Most were unremarkable, but this one frame, 313, posed special problems.
	The plate was broken twice to revise Description 6, which appears to be unique in the history of publishing.
	Issue.
	Every copy of Life Magazine would be printed from the same set of plates.
	Breaking a plate to revise it is rare.
	Breaking a plate twice, I believe, has never happened before or since.
	There are many indications this and other films have been editing, including the all but motionless spectators, the driver's head turns twice as fast as humanly possible, and the blood and blob and blood spray, which appear to have been painted in.
	Blood and brains across the trunk and the driver pulling to the left and bringing the vehicle to a halt had to be removed because it was such an obvious indication of Secret Service complicity in setting up JFK for the hit.
	Every color can be broken down into red, green, and blue lines.
	You can even see them sometimes watching your TV.
	They can be measured by a computer and put onto a graph.
	The graphs show that the spray, the blood spray, disappears within three frames or one sixth of a second.
	Given the camera was alleged to be operating at 18.3 frames per second, that was actually not a setting on the Zapruder camera, which could take single frames like an ordinary still camera, or at 24 frames per second, or at 48 for slow motion.
	The reduction to 18.3 appears to have occurred by virtue of removing so many frames during the editing process.
	It cannot be the case that had this been bona fide blood spray, and had the film been legitimate, the spray would have disappeared in a sixth of a second.
	Even if you dropped a lead weight from JFK's temple, it would not hit the floor of the car that fast.
	Scientists were also able to show the spray could not have been moving so fast that it shot out of view before frame 3 of 14.
	Even if the blood could have, where would it have ended up?
	It would have gone all over the conleys, the windows, the interior of the limousine, assuming it had occurred by a shot fired from behind.
	But a frame published only weeks after the assassination in color showed no blood at all.
	If this were not bad enough, when the U.S.
	government report was published, the Warren report in 1964, another frame, 323, was published, again showing no blood, just a huge bloodless wound in the president's head.
	There you can see actually the hole in the back of the head has been blacked out and you have here what's written in the painted in the blob which moves around from frame to frame.
	Meanwhile, there are internal inconsistencies in the film.
	John P. Costello did brilliant work on the film, where John has a PhD in electromagnetism.
	He's an expert on the properties of light and images of moving objects.
	His tutorial can be found on my website, AssassinationScience.com, and on AssassinationResearch.com, which John and I co-edit.
	A head wound.
	It cannot be observed in early frames, but it seemed to me they might have focused so much attention on blacking it out that it might be visible in later, and I found it in frame 374.
	Larry Rivera discovered, remarkably enough, that it's actually the defect in the back of Jack's head is outlined by Jackie's white gloves, which serve as a background.
	So here you see 312 before the shot to the head occurs.
	Then we have 313 with blood spray that's not bona fide, but painted in.
	Then you see that blob, one of the more clear examples.
	The blob moves around again, but notice you do not see a hole in the back of the head.
	Again, the blob moves, back of the head painted out.
	Once again, the blob moves, the back of the head is painted out.
	In fact, there's a group of film restoration experts in Hollywood who've studied a superior version of the film, known as a forensic copy, and they've been just dumbfounded at the amateurish way in which the back wound to the back of the head was blacked out.
	They appear to have blown up the frames, actually painted it out, And then, you know, re-photographed the frames and shrunk them back down to perform this very amateurish feat.
	It occurred to me, however, looking later, we might find it in frame 374, 375, when Jackie is climbing out the back of the trunk after a chunk of Jack's skull and brains, which he held in her hand all the way to Parkland.
	You can actually see the blowout at the back of the head.
	Notice here.
	Remember, brains refer to as gray matter.
	Well, it's the bluish gray.
	The pink there is a skull flap that was blown open because there was a frangible exploding bullet used here, which may have been that third shot to the head that David now believes was fired and entered the left temple, whereas the other shot fired from the triple underpass and the picket fence entered the right.
	Notice there, then, the gray matter.
	If you look more closely, it was my suspicion that those who were involved in reconstructing the home movies, including the Zuberger, might have overlooked frames past 313 through 316 that display the wound at the back of the head, and I found this image in frame 374.
	Now, there you have Jack in 312, and then 314 or so, and before and after, where we first see the blob, which of course reflects that the wound was painted out.
	David Vanti, MD, PhD, entered the National Archives originally in late 1992 with a permission of the Burke Marshall, a Kennedy family attorney, a professor of law emeritus at the Yale Law School, telling me before he entered the archives that he suspected he discovered both evidence of a second shot to the head and that the autopsy x-rays had been altered.
	I told him that would be great because we who were scrutinizing the evidence looking for you know testing it for possible falsification We're expecting to find evidence like this if it existed.
	On the left you see the original x-ray, which David said had too much contrast between dark and white, versus Area P, which he identified using a technique from physics known as optical densitometry.
	Whereby measuring the amount of light that passes through the x-ray, you can reconstruct the relative density of the objects whose exposure to the x-ray created the image here, identified as area P for patch, which is far too dense to be human bones, so that unless JFK's entire back of his skull was solid bone, unless JFK was a bonehead, this was not a naturally occurring phenomenon.
	And when you put together Area P with what I found in frame 374, you can see a very close correspondence.
	It's like a cashew on the side.
	Notice, of course, what you don't see on the x-ray is the hair that partially overlaps into the wound in the frame from the Zapruder.
	Here you have Jackie now where the defect in Jack's skull is highlighted by her glove.
	Larry Rivero was simply incredibly perceptive to recognize this.
	Here you have Jackie's right hand and her left.
	You can begin to get a sense of the enormity of the defect.
	Check it out here.
	It's identified.
	All of that ought to have been the back of JFK's head were at present.
	Meanwhile, using Blender, Larry's also been able to enhance the enormity of the gap, the defect in the back of the head of the president.
	Meanwhile, John Costello discovered that the stem and sign had been removed and replaced, but done so improperly, evidently because there was one or more gunshot holes in the stem and sign that were inconsistent with the official scenario of three and only three shots having been fired.
	Comparison of photos of the location and dimensions of the freeway sign reveal it was replaced by misplaced images.
	It demonstrates the sign was placed into the revised film without taking into consideration the optical distortion of the camera's lens.
	So here you see where all those lines ought to be parallel, they're clearly not.
	Notice on the right.
	More significantly, here we have, you can see the difference between where the sign was originally in the black and white and where it was emplaced in the video in color.
	And here, indeed, you can see a GIF where you see the extent to which it was misplaced.
	Now, Because this is not a particularly important element of the film, or so one would ordinarily suppose it's all the more powerful as proof, how the film was re-edited and revised in a clearly uncontroversial, indisputable fashion.
	John's tutorial will repay much insight where he concluded that while the film had been reconstructed 98% technically perfectly, the other 2% revealed that it was indeed a fabrication made out of original footage.
	The all but motionless spectators are another sign.
	Everywhere else on the motorcade, spectators were waving and cheering.
	During this portion of the motorcade, however, they were virtually motionless.
	The explanation appears to be that the foreground was taken when the pilot car passed, and then introduced into the revised footage because they wanted to conceal something in the foreground, perhaps in a reflection of the limousine, that they did not want the public to know.
	So here you see, you know, some of the waving, cheering.
	Obviously, it was enormous.
	Look at any of the footage of the motorcade on Main Street.
	Everyone was thrilled, ecstatic.
	This was, by the way, Jackie's first political trip with her husband and, of course, would also be the last.
	Here you see the footage again, just the Zuber film, to look at emotionless spectators.
	Just notice, they're not waving, cheering, thrilled.
	No, no, no.
	And that appears to be because, as I've observed, this particular foreground was taken from earlier footage when the pilot car passed.
	So they're not waving and cheering in response to the presence of Jack and Jackie, because Jack and Jackie were not present.
	So that this technique enables you to combine elements any way you might like.
	Meanwhile, there are also external inconsistencies.
	Here we have in the Zapruder film how far Jackie goes back in relation to Clint Hill.
	Notice they don't actually make contact.
	But in another film by Orville Dix from the opposite side, notice how much closer they are in proximity.
	Now, These are supposed to be two films of the same event happening at the same time, and yet they're clearly inconsistent.
	Notice the top is Zapruder, the bottom the Nix film.
	This shows something is terribly wrong.
	They appear to have revised Zapruder and then used it as a guideline to revise the Nix, but they did so in an inconsistent fashion.
	Here we have Horrible Nix himself talking about his own footage.
	When the shots were fired, did you look at the Book Depository building?
	No.
	Did you think at that time that the shots came from the Book Depository building?
	No, I thought it came from a fence between the Book Depository and the railroad track.
	Does anyone else who you know or have spoken with also believe the shots came from there?
	Most everyone thought it came from the Notice, by the way, oh, there is more here worth watching.
	Did you have occasion to speak with Forrest Sorrells, who was of course a friend of yours
	and the Secret Service agent in charge of Dallas that day?
	Yes, I did.
	Did he tell you where he thought the shots came from?
	He thought they were coming from the same place.
	Which is?
	Behind the fence.
	Notice by the way, oh, there is more here worth watching.
	Hang on a second.
	Now, just in case a sound didn't come through, I'm gonna repeat that part and keep it on
	because we'll have the chance here to see the next, which most Americans don't even know exists.
	So here we go with Horrible Knicks.
	When the shots were fired, did you look at the Book Depository building?
	No.
	Did you think at that time that the shots came from the Book Depository building?
	No, I thought it came from a fence.
	Between the boat depository and the railroad track.
	Did anyone else who you know or have spoken with also believe that the shots came from there?
	Most everyone thought it came from the fence behind the boat depository.
	Did you have occasion to speak with Forrest Sorrells, who was, of course, a friend of yours and the Secret Service agent in charge of Dallas that day?
	Yes, I did.
	Did he tell you where he thought the shots came from?
	He thought they were coming from the same place.
	Which is?
	Behind the fence.
	So here is the next film.
	I'm going to play it.
	Though it turns out that when the House Select Committee reinvestigated the case in 1976-77, they brought in Grodin as a special consultant to determine whether or not the reports that Lee had been in the doorway were accurate and true.
	And he came back to report, no, they were not, which was a blatant violation of any obligation to tell the truth.
	He even gave a false report about comparing the pixels on the sleeve, as we'll discuss it, with Oswald's sleeve when he was arrested, claiming they did not match.
	When the opposite was the case.
	So my opinion of Grodin is very mixed.
	But where his impact, in my opinion, has been that of a pied piper, alas.
	And where, I'm sorry to say, it appears to me, he, in a very important way, misled Oliver in the construction of JFK.
	Meanwhile, we have witness inconsistencies about the head wound at Dealey Plaza at Parkland and at Bethesda.
	Look at witness after witness of the blowout at the back of the head.
	Beverly Oliver, Phil Willis and his wife, Ed Hoffman, who was on the triple underpass.
	Physician after physician at Parkland, where they, of course, were examining the body.
	In Trauma Room No.
	1, Robert McClellan, Paul Peters, Kenneth Salyer, Charles Carrico, Richard Delaney, Charles Crenshaw, Ronald Jones, Nurse Aubrey Bell, all positioned abroad at the back of the head.
	They're on war, justice, and peace.
	Aubrey Reich, the ambulance driver.
	Frank O'Neill, then, at Bethesda, who was an FBI agent present during the autopsy.
	Three of the medical techs, Gerald Custer, Paul O'Connor, Floyd Reby, all witnessed a blowout to the back of the head.
	Even Clint Hill, who'd rushed up to protect Jackie, During a period, by the way, when the limousine was at a halt, and if you stop and think about it, even if it had been going 10 miles an hour, it would have been tough for Clint to sprint from the Cadillac to the Lincoln limousine, but it was easily done because the limousine had actually been brought to a halt, as I shall elaborate.
	He was reporting here at Warwick's in San Diego about the Kennedy Detail Book, Even if that he had observed this fist-sized blowout to the back of the head.
	Get this.
	Even if Clint actually touched Jackie, the films do not show him pushing her into the seat, which is what he has maintained for 47 years.
	This was a few years back.
	In his formal report dated 30 November 1963 about the events of 22 November, he reports, as I lay over the top of the back seat, I noticed a portion of the president's head on the right rear side was missing and he was bleeding profusely.
	Part of his brain was gone.
	I saw part of his skull with hair on it.
	Consistent with frame 374, but not with frames 313 through 316.
	Indeed, since this record was Warren Commission Exhibit CE 1024, at least some of its members and staff had to have been aware of observations by the first person to observe the head wound, apart from Jackie herself.
	But even the Kennedy detail about the role of the Secret Service in Dealey Plaza, published in 2010, includes this sentence.
	In slumped across the street, President Kennedy lay unmoving, a bloody gaping fist-sized hole clearly visible in the back of his head on page 217.
	Now, here's a diagram authorized by Dr. Robert McClellan.
	in relation to the autopsy photographs and x-rays, as well as to the authenticity of the Zabruder film,
	and of course by itself, refutes a Warren Commission report.
	Now here's a diagram authorized by Dr. Robert McClellan.
	This was a ghastly wound.
	Here are diagrams done by Chuck Prenshaw, who was the last physician to observe JFK
	when he was wrapped in sheets and put into the bronze ceremonial casket,
	which he drew for me in relation to my publication of my first collection of expert studies,
	Assassination Science, published in 1998.
	So here you have the drawing from the back and also from the side.
	Notice that Jackie's hand has in fact defined that wound as being even more substantial than represented here.
	Meanwhile, we have further confirmation from Thomas Evan Robinson, who was the mortician who prepared the body for funeral, told an investigator, Joe West, in May of 1992, that in addition to a large gaping hole in the back of the head, There was a small wound in the right temple and a wound to the back five to six inches below the shoulder to the right of the spinal column.
	Obviously, that was the back wound corresponding to the shirt and the jacket, but inconsistent with the way in which Gerald Ford actually, as a junior member of the commission, raised the wound to the base of the back of the neck to sustain the magic bullet theory once they learned that a single shot had missed and injured the distant bystander James Tate.
	So look at the notes here.
	Large gaping hole in back of head patch, stretching piece of rubber over it, Thinks the skull was filled with plaster of Paris.
	A smaller wound in the right temple, crescent-shaped, plapped down three inches.
	That's a pink skull flap I spoke of.
	Approximately two small shrapnel wounds in the face he packed with wax.
	These emerged when embalming fluid began to leak from his face.
	They're really quite significant in relation to the shot to the throat, which passed through the windshield, where David Mantic, I think, quite astutely observed that they appear to have been caused by small particles of glass that were released when the bullet passed through the windshield, en route to his throat.
	Wounded back, five to six inches below the shoulder to the right of the backbone, exactly corresponding with a shirt and jacket.
	Adrenaline gland and brain removed.
	Other organs removed and put back.
	No swelling or discoloration to the face, meaning he died instantly.
	So Jack was already dead in Dealey Plaza.
	Now, this is quite stunning.
	When the House Select Committee on Assassinations reinvestigated the case in 1970-78, its medical panel concluded that the entry wound was actually four inches above the entry location previously specified Which was in the vicinity of the external occipital protuberance, that bump on the back of your head where you'd rest if you were lying in a bathtub.
	They moved it four inches upward to the crown, the top of the head.
	You can see the wound in the diagrams on the ride, but you cannot see it in the photographs because this was imaginary.
	Notice how the whole back of the head has been reconstituted.
	That's quite astonishing, given the enormous hole in the back of the head that was observed by so many.
	And there on the left, you can see clearly the skull flap, which was pink in that earlier frame, 374-375.
	So, David Lifton really was the first to observe that the wound as described in the autopsy report from Bethesda was enormous in relation to the observation by the physicians at Parkland.
	So they described a fist-sized wound, well portrayed here, but at Bethesda it was simply gigantic, virtually the entire back of the head, Evidently enlarged in order to create a wound that would look more like something that could have been caused by a shot fired from behind had the president been leaning well forward.
	And then, of course, on the right, we have the third depiction from the HSCA.
	So here we have three completely different depictions.
	Now, David Lifton picked up on an observation that Commander Humes, who was in charge of the autopsy of Bethesda, made about there appearing to have been surgery to the skull.
	It would take the Assassination Records Review Board and Douglas Horne, who is a senior analyst for military records, to track down how this had occurred, where Thomas Evans Robinson, the mortician, And Bethesda radiologists were sitting in the vicinity of the body when Commander Humes took a cranial saw to the skull of JFK and enlarged the wound.
	Astonishing!
	You'd think he would not do that with witnesses present, but that's how it actually played out.
	So that when Thomas Evans Robinson was shown a diagram that J. Thornton Boswell, who was assisting Humes, had prepared with dotted lines, he said, oh no, the doctors did that because he'd witnessed the increase in the size of the wound using the saw.
	Lifton, when he discovered this, actually read the description of the wound, which, mind you, is given with mathematical precision in the Bethesda autopsy report, to a physician without identifying the patient and asking what he thought had happened.
	And he said it sounded as though he'd been hit in the back of the head with an axe.
	Meanwhile, the fact is that the HSCA report is inconsistent in every possible way.
	It's simply absurd, especially with extruding cerebellar as well as cerebral tissue, where the cerebellum is a compact part of the brain at the very base.
	It's impossible you could have had cerebellar tissue extruding from the wound had it been as the HSCA described it.
	So here you got Jenkins, that he had cerebellum protruding from the wound.
	Carrico, fragmented and bleeding cerebral and cerebellar tissue.
	Perry, there was visible brain and some cerebellum.
	McClellan, brain tissue, posterior cerebellar.
	Some of the cerebellar tissue had been blasted out.
	Baxter, cerebellum was present in a large quantity of the brain on the cart.
	Kemp Clark, particularly in part because he was a director of neurology, testified cerebral and cerebellar tissue being damaged and exposed.
	Here, just so you understand, look at the left.
	Lifton included a diagram.
	You can see that cerebellum, that compact part of the brain in relation to the cerebral tissue.
	The cerebellum is situated at the base of the skull.
	The cerebrum is a larger mass that comprises the upper portions of the brain.
	Blown out tissues of these kinds would look very different in their appearance.
	Even first year medical students would not confuse that.
	So here we have a report about the brain shown in diagrams and photographs in the National Archives, where the brain is virtually completely intact.
	It's actually an abnormally large brain, where the average adult runs 1350 grams.
	This was around 1500.
	Robert B. Livingston, MD, a world authority on the human brain and an expert on wound ballistics, studied reports of cerebral and cerebellar damage from Parkland.
	He concluded that the brain in diagrams and photographs at the National Archives cannot be that of JFK.
	It simply cannot be true that cerebellum could have been seen extruding from the occipital parietal wound by several experienced and thoroughly competent physicians, and for the same brain to be seen in superior and lateral photographs and depicted in a drawing superior view, showing the cerebellum as being apparently intact.
	A conclusion is obligatorily forced that the photographs and drawings of the brain in the National Archives are those of some brain other than that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
	Now you or I might have drawn that inference, but how significant it comes from a world authority on the human brain.
	Meanwhile, we've long suspected that autopsy photographs, allegedly from the autopsy, according to Robert Grodin, were in fact Fake.
	Thanks to the brilliant research of Larry Rivera, we now prove that JFK autopsy photos are not of the body of JFK, that Lee Oswald was framed, and that the Warren Commission report 1964 was a sham.
	We can now also prove that the backyard photographs were fake by pasting Lee Oswald's face on someone else's, he claimed, and have identified the body double as Dallas Police Officer Roscoe Wynne.
	These autopsy photographs published by Robert Grodin are not even of JFK.
	Notice here, the color, very impressive.
	But notice here, the eyes are open.
	Charles Crenshaw explained to me how the last thing he did before assisting in lifting him into the bronze ceremonial casket was to close his eyes.
	So what are the eyes doing?
	Here you see, in comparison with a profile of JFK, it does not appear to be the same person.
	Indeed, Dennis David, who is a non-commissioned officer responsible for tracking who came in and went out of the autopsy room, the board, during the autopsy, Reported that he was instructed not to log in a body that was identified as that of a major, contrary to Bethesda protocol.
	It appears to me that the major was the subject of these autopsy photographs.
	When you have the entire American military to choose between, it's not too tough to find other persons who resemble a subject, in this case, JFK.
	Here you see another.
	We also know from the Bethesda Techs that that aluminum stirrup was not present in the morgue at Bethesda.
	Though it appears it was present in a different building on the Bethesda campus.
	But here again from the side, this does not appear to be the profile of JFK.
	And indeed, when you superimpose them, it's pretty obvious Bobby and Jackie looked at the body in order to decide whether to have an open or a closed casket, and they concluded that it didn't even look like Jack Kennedy.
	And the reason we now know is because it was not Jack Kennedy.
	What about the throat wound?
	It passed through the windshield.
	At Parkland, they moved the limo.
	At Bethesda, they enlarged the wound.
	Here we have Malcolm Perry on the right, Kemp Clark on the left with his arm folded, where Malcolm Perry had performed a simple tracheostomy incision through the small, clean puncture wound.
	Charles Crenshaw diagrammed it for me as well for assassination science.
	You can see in the original wound on the left, you can see after the tracheostomy incision, all very clean, neat, tidy.
	Obviously a wound of entry.
	However, autopsy photographs surfaced in the late 1980s showing his face to be completely intact.
	They seem to have some sort of black tape over the vicinity where the bullet entered, except this is not even the body of JFK.
	Remember, again, the eyes are open, but notice the throat wound.
	Even skeptics had to agree, either the Zapruder film or the autopsy photos, or both, have to be forgeries.
	From the 1970s, Lifton argued the bright reddish-white wound which seemed to appear and snake up the side of the president's head, which he called the blob, completely disagreed with the description of the head wound given by the doctors and nurses at Parkland.
	But notice now the throat wound, Bob Livingston was a scientific director of two of the National Institutes of Health for Neurological Diseases and for Blindness located across the street from Bethesda Naval Hospital.
	When he heard reports on the radio, widely broadcast at the time of the small clean puncture wound to the throat, He recognized it as having been a wound of entry, having served as supervisor at Emergency Medical Hospital for injured Okinawans and Japanese prisoners of war during the Battle of Okinawa.
	He debated doing so, but eventually called over to Bethesda to speak to the physician who would be conducting the autopsy, and the Secret Service put him through.
	He was known to them.
	The operator put him through.
	He was known to them.
	And he spoke to Commander Humes, who said he wasn't paying attention to radio or television reports in preparing for the autopsy.
	Bob told him, and this is so ironic in retrospect, that since it was this clear, clean puncture wound from a bullet fired from in front, He must dissect the neck very carefully because if there were any evidence of shots having been fired from behind, then there would have to have been at least two shooters and therefore a conspiracy.
	Commander Humes was thanking him for that when their phone call was interrupted by a Secret Service and Bob was flabbergasted that two physicians discussing the autopsy of the President of the United States Would be disconnected.
	Now here's a most famous photograph of the assassination taken by AP photographer James I. Galchin.
	You see the presidential limo in the foreground.
	There's a figure in the background there in the book depository.
	A doorway that has been thought to have been Lee Oswald.
	There's a window by the fire escape in the Dow tax, which is actually for a broom closet for a uranium mining company that was a CIA asset, notice.
	Well, you look closely where Jack's left ear would be if his left ear were visible and you can see a small white spiral nebula with a dark hole in the center indicative of a through and through shot through the windshield.
	On the right, however, is an alternative windshield the Secret Service would subsequently produce with a spiderweb-like crack caused by a fragment or bullet fired from behind.
	Bob Livingston reported that he had learned the Secret Service had obtained 20 different copies of the windshield Purportedly for target practice, and I believe to ensure a shot fired through the windshield would be capable of hitting its target, but also to provide a substitute should it become necessary, as indeed it did in the course of events.
	You can even see where the bullet went through the windshield in frame 225.
	Meanwhile, remember the mortician talked about those small shrapnel wounds in the face.
	I've anticipated by explaining that David Mante confirmed they were caused by tiny shards of glass that hit his face after the bullet passed through the windshield.
	Now, when they discovered that, a bullet had missed.
	They had to reconstruct and invent the magic bullet theory.
	Well, David, who's board certified in radiation oncology, which is a treatment of cancer using x-ray therapy, took a CAT scan of a patient with similar chest and neck dimensions to JFK.
	When he plotted the official trajectory, it turned out to be anatomically impossible because cervical vertebrae intervened.
	Notice, the magic bullet theory is not even anatomically possible.
	When you see these reconstructions, they have a molded figure or whatnot.
	It is absent a spinal column.
	And that's quite ironic, because the reason JFK was killed was because he had a backbone.
	So this is all quite ironic.
	It explains why Arlen Specter, when he questioned Malcolm Perry, Who had three times described the wound to the throat as a wound of entry.
	He asked him a hypothetical question.
	He said, if we assume the wound entered here at the back of the base of the neck, traverse the neck without hitting any bony structures that exited here at the front of the neck, would that be consistent with describing the wound at the front of the neck as a wound of exit?
	And of course, given those assumptions, it's impossible that it not.
	Malcolm Perry responded by saying yes, but he was not in a position to vouch for or verify the assumptions he'd been asked to make, which included, of course, now we know why he introduced hitting no bony structures per impossible.
	This is one of the great frauds on the American people.
	David, as I mentioned, also discovered evidence of a second shot to the head with a distribution of metallic particles from a frangible or exploding bullet, which I believe now he may believe was fired into the left temple rather than the right.
	Just thus, JFK appears to have been hit four times, once in the throat from in front, once in the back from behind, and twice in the head, once from behind and once from in front.
	The shots to the throat in his right temple appear to have been fired from above ground level sewer openings.
	Actually, we now believe the shot to the throat was fired from inside the triple underpass based on further research conducted by Larry Rivera, Gary King, and myself on a trip to Dallas, where Larry discovered there was a circuit breaker box there where it would be perfect to hide a weapon that appears to have been used, which was only manufactured in a small number And appears to have been used for this purpose.
	Some 60 witnesses to the limo stop.
	Some saw it slow dramatically, others saw it come to a complete stop.
	The limo slowed dramatically as it came to a complete stop.
	This was such an obvious indication of Secret Service complicity that it had to be removed.
	John's collation, this is Costella, of eyewitness reports, which you can find archived at AssassinationResearch.com, about the assassination, includes dozens and dozens about the limo stop.
	Some reported seeing it slow dramatically, others that it came to a complete stop, which makes sense since, from different positions, different witnesses would have seen it slow dramatically as it came to a complete stop.
	Among them is Tony Foster, who was interviewed by Deborah Conway in 2000.
	As Daniel Gallup has observed, Foster seems to have no idea that her recollections contradict the official record.
	Tony told Deborah, for some reason, the car stopped.
	It did stop for seconds.
	I don't even know why it stopped.
	And all of a sudden, it sped up and they went under the underpass.
	I could never figure out why the car stopped.
	The way she delivers these lines, Gallop observed, I doubt Tony had ever seen the X-Men Z film and had no idea her recollections contradict that film.
	He said he was reminded of David Lifton's early 1971 interviews with the Newmans, who also said the limousine had stopped.
	They had no way of knowing at the time that the Z film showed no such stop.
	All of this is to say, the earliest recollections of individuals are likely to be the most significant, especially if there's evidence of a lack of exposure to contrary viewpoints that might influence memory.
	For a few more, Billy Lovelady, a co-worker of Lee Oswald, who was on the steps of the Texas School Book Depository.
	I recall that following the shooting, I ran toward the spot where President Kennedy's car had stopped.
	Roy Truly, who was our supervisor, the car.
	I saw the President's car swerve to the left and stop somewhere down in this area.
	Mr. Belling, When you saw the President's car seem to stop, how long did it appear to stop?
	Mr. Truly, it would be hard to say, over a second or two, something like that.
	I didn't see, I just saw it stop.
	I don't know, I didn't see it start up.
	Mrs. Earl Campbell, not so easily played.
	Four cars behind the President's limousine.
	I was aware that the motorcade stopped dead still.
	There was no question about that.
	Later, as I told you, the motorcade was stopped.
	Mr. Hubert questioning her.
	That was when your car at least had come to a standstill, Mrs. Campbell.
	Every car in the motorcade had come to a standstill.
	We were dead still for a matter of some seconds.
	Meanwhile, Gene Hill and Mary Borman.
	They saw it come to a complete stop.
	They were in the street at the time, but in the excellent version of the film, they're shown still on the grass.
	Noel Twyman, who published a brilliant book, Bloody Treason, in 1997, which gives an astute analysis of how the assassination was put together and constituted by the key elements.
	Also address aspects about the film.
	He asked Roderick Ryan, who had won an Academy Award in 2000 for his contributions to cinematography, why the background was blurred in frame 302, but not in frame 303.
	And Ryan explained that the camera was panning the limo in 302, but not in 303, where it was stationary.
	On page 159, he added he had shown it to his son, who is also in the film industry, and that he agreed it was moving in 302, but standing still in 303.
	So here you have Mary and Gene, Mary in black, using a Polaroid to take photographs, Gene in a red coat.
	Mary would take the photographs and hand them to Gene, who had to put a preservative coating over the photographs, as was the case in those days, early days of Polaroid photography.
	Here's a study by Jack White confirming what Gene and Mary have always said, namely that they stepped into the street before Mary took her famous photograph.
	Gene called out, Hey, Mr. President, look over here.
	We want to take your photograph.
	They were both in the street.
	Here's Jack's analysis where you can see the top of Gene's head and the top of Mary's head, where Mary is about 5'2", Gene about 5'7".
	The distance in their height here is obviously more than five inches.
	Although this next frame is blurry, when enlarged to this size, it's clear enough to show that Mary's head, the lower circle, is so far below Jean's upper circle that Mary had stepped off the curb before Jean did.
	Also note, she seems hunched over to take the photo instead of being upright, as in Zebruder.
	Here's Mary's photograph, which appears to have been taken right after the shot created a blowout in the back of the head.
	If you look carefully, you see there appears to be a chunk of JFK's skull and hair on his right shoulder.
	Jack observed in the bottom center here that there's a cross intersection that defines a line of sight.
	So that the camera had to be from where it was taken in this line of sight where David Mantic and I went to Dealey Plaza.
	Using surveyor's equipment and confirm that Jack was right, using the line of sight, Mary's photograph was taken from in the street.
	Meanwhile, there were witnesses to the other film.
	This appears to be the original Zapruder before it was edited.
	They include Irwin Schwartz, William Raymond, Rich De La Rosa, Gregory Burnham, where I had personal contact with the latter three, though not with Schwartz.
	He was an associate of Abraham Zapruder and billed the film in what appears to have been its original state at Eastman Kodak, where it was developed.
	Nearly 60 witnesses have reported the limousine slowed dramatically or came to a complete halt, as Vince Palomar explained in a chapter of Murder in Dealey Plaza, my second collection of expert studies published in 2000.
	When Noel asked him about the limo stop, he was vague and could not recall.
	But when Noel asked him about the effects of the fatal headshot, Swartz was quite specific and very graphic.
	He said he'd seen Kennedy's head suddenly whip around to the left, that he'd seen an explosion of blood and brains from the head and then blown out to the left and rear.
	This is from viewing the limousine from behind, to the left and rear.
	Twyman pressed him on this crucial point, but Schwartz was emphatic.
	His account may be found in Bloody Trees in 1997.
	Now, this is particularly important in refuting the claim that often has surfaced William Greer, the driver, turned and shot JFK.
	Because given the location of Greer to the left front of JFK, had he shot him, his brains would have blown out to the right and rear, viewing from behind.
	But in fact, they were blown out to the left and rear.
	It follows that Greer did not shoot JFK.
	They make four important observations.
	The other film shows a turn from Houston onto Elm.
	It shows Greer bringing the limousine to an abrupt halt.
	So abrupt that it jostled the passengers forward.
	During the limousine stop, JFK is hit twice in the head.
	Once from behind and he slumps forward.
	Once from in front and he slumps to the side.
	Greer watches the whole time, then hits the accelerator.
	Further confirmation of the blowout to the left rear comes from Secret Service agents such as Sam Kinney and Vince Gullo Jr.
	Vince Palomara, the leading assassination expert on the Secret Service, wrote to Gullo to explain that Kinney had told him of his discovery of a piece of the right rear of the President's skull in the limousine During the flight back to Washington, D.C., and another member of the detail had become nauseated from observing the blood and gore on the limousine trunk.
	Gula confirmed Kinney's statements to Palomaro, saying he was totally familiar with the facts, as Palomaro had outlined them.
	Meanwhile, the motorcycle escort officers During the limo stop, he was hit at least twice in the head.
	Officer Baker dismounted his bike and ran in between the cars to the grassy knoll.
	Officer Jackson rode his bike up the grassy knoll.
	Five Secret Service agents surrounded the presidential limousine.
	Now, Larry Rivera has done the most brilliant work by transcribing interviews that were conducted by Fred Newcomb with the four motorcycle officers and their supervisor, Stavis Ellis, in 1971.
	It was painstaking to transcribe them, but they offered a bazanza of information about what had happened, including that Officer Baker, during the limo stop, had dismounted his bike and run in between the limousines to the Grassy Knoll That Officer Jackson had motorcycled up on the grassy knoll in pursuit of the assassin.
	And when it fell over, he proceeded on foot.
	And that five of the agents had dismounted from the Queen Mary, as they called the Cadillac, and surrounded the JFK limo.
	You can actually see tracks here in a frame from the Bell film, showing what appear to be tire marks running up the embankment.
	They're very distinct.
	Meanwhile, here's Hargis returning to his bike after the motorcade has rushed forward.
	Rushed onward, you can see Beverly Oliver standing there with a blonde hair and beige coat, and Gene and Mary sitting on the grass.
	Here we have in the Oklahoma City Times even a report about it.
	Three shots, it was horrible.
	The first tip off of tragedy was when several spectators jumped over a stone wall and started running what apparently was a scene of the shooting.
	A motorcycle patrolman rode pell-mell up a railroad embankment, apparently in pursuit of the assassin.
	Meanwhile, we have Abraham Zapruder up there on this low colonnade with his secretary, Marilyn Seitzman, where it's not exactly clear how Zapruder could have taken the footage attributed to him, because as Jack observes, Maryland appeared to be blocking his access, which raises serious questions, which may be explained by the fact that the limousine all but disappears at the bottom, which would not have taken place had he been panning the limo.
	It would have remained roughly in the center.
	Meanwhile, Larry's brilliant work can be found, if it hasn't already been removed from YouTube, the JFK Horseman Part 1 and JFK Horseman Part 2, best version, slightly tweaked.
	We now have a book by Larry Rivera entitled the JFK Horseman available at moonrockbooks.com.
	Don't miss it.
	Meanwhile, how the switch was done.
	The 8mm Ulrey split film developed in Dallas was taken to the National Photographic Interpretation Center on Saturday, 23 November 1963, where they had to have a shop owner open his store to buy an 8mm projector.
	16 millimeter unsplit film was developed in Rochester at Hawkeye Works and brought to the NPIC on Sunday, 24 November, to replace the original.
	Hawkeye Works, first identified by David Lifton, was a secret CIA lab adjacent to Kodak headquarters in Washington, in Rochester, New York.
	A virtually definitive account of how this transformation, the switch of one film to another, can be found in Douglas Horme's Inside the Assassination Review Boards, published in five volumes, in particular in volume four.
	Just an absolute amazing compilation of research related to this specific issue.
	Here you see the optical printing and special effects machine.
	Modern special effect houses rely on a variety of optical printers in order to handle large volumes of work.
	The printer consists essentially of a camera and a projector.
	It re-photographs separately filmed elements and then combines them into a single scene.
	Thus did they revise the film and then re-photograph it and combine it into a single scene.
	Here's the actual camera.
	It uses a 16 millimeter film, shoots down one side, then you have to take it out, flip it over and shoot down the other side.
	So there's a side A and a side B. If you want to watch the whole thing, therefore, you have to split the film and splice it together.
	Obviously, the physical differences between the 8mm film brought from Dallas and the 16mm unsplit film brought from Rochester were so gross, no one could confound that.
	Meanwhile, I have a whole third book, published in 2003, The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, Deceit and Deception and the Death of JFK, about how all of this was done.
	Where Jack White and David Lifton and David Mantic and John Costella and David Healy, who was in communications at the time, who was familiar with what techniques were available for these sorts of operations, and myself, all presented talks at a conference.
	On the Duluth campus of the University of Minnesota in 2003, which were the basis for this, my third book in the trilogy that blew apart the cover up and exposed who is responsible and why.
	Meanwhile, framing the Patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald, Lee was in the doorway when the JFK motorcade passed by.
	They made him remove his overshirt before doing mug shots because otherwise it would have been too obvious.
	He told Fritz his face had been pasted on someone else's body when shown one of the backyard photographs.
	Indeed, everything Oswald told Fritz has turned out to be true.
	Now here you have that same photograph.
	Notice you can see circle number one around the white spiral nebula visible where JFK's left ear would be if it were visible.
	You see the man in the doorway number two.
	Number three you see.
	The window to the broom closet of the Uranium Monument Company from which three shots were fired with a Mandelker Carcano, the only unsilenced shots that were fired to create the acoustical impression of only three shots having been fired and forth.
	Now, LBJ's security detail was responding already, even when Jack still appeared to be baffled about what was going on.
	Here is the area of great interest, therefore, in the doorway area.
	Now, some, such as Robert Groton and even Josiah Thompson, insist that this photograph has never been altered.
	But look at the absurd refutation of those claims.
	The figure known as the man in the doorway leaning out is missing his left shoulder.
	Notice the figure beside him with his hands raised to protect his eyes from the sun has had his face blacked out.
	Notice his shirt has been completely obfuscated.
	These are such obvious proofs of alteration that it dumbfounds me that anyone who wants to retain a modicum of credibility could make such an insistence in the face of such decisive evidence.
	So here we have a man in the doorway on the left.
	Notice black tie man, as he's known, is both in front of him and behind him at the same time.
	Obviously an optical impossibility.
	Proof positive the film has been altered.
	Notice, too, you have the image of a black man lower down.
	I believe that was to conceal the fact that the shirt was tattered and torn.
	As you can see, Lee's shirt in the middle when he was arrested.
	It was a long sleeve, richly textured shirt.
	We know the man in the doorway was Lee Oswald, based upon the height, the weight, the build, the shirt, and the t-shirt he was wearing at the time he was arrested.
	Indeed, the Dallas Police Department was so aware of this problem that they had him remove his over shirt in order to take his mud shot only in his t-shirt, as you see on the right.
	Larry Rivera also confirmed the finding, based upon the height, the weight, the build, the shirt, and the t-shirt, observations that came from Ralph Sinque, who is a chiropractor and used to dealing with people who want their clothing to fit better.
	By finding photographs that were suitable for Lee Oswald and the man the government claims was the man in the doorway, Billy Lovelady, who it turns out was in the doorway, but was not the man leaning out.
	Indeed, Billy said he thought it was strange that they would ever be confused because it was two to three inches shorter and 15 to 20 pounds heavier.
	I think, in fact, more than that.
	But look at the left.
	If you put the images together and make the distance between the pupils the same, then if it is two photographs of the same person taken from the same point of view, all their other features will align.
	Notice the nose, the ears, the chin, the eyes, they all fall into place.
	With Billie Lovelady, however, not so fast.
	The nose is wrong, the ears are wrong, the eyes don't align, the jaw is wrong.
	Chloe, the man in the doorway was Lee Oswald, not Billie Lovelady.
	And here you have a further confirmation of Lee having been the figure, which created consternation.
	In fact, Harold Weisberg, in his Whitewash series, in the second volume entitled Photographic Whitewash, in the last few pages, explains how the Warren Commission staff were having a terrible time trying to conceal the fact that Lee Oswald had been captured in this famous photograph standing in the doorway.
	Meanwhile, the man with his raised hands actually turns out to have been Billy Lovelady.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Billy, by the way, was called in by the FBI on the 29th of February 1964, asked to wear the same shirt he'd worn on that occasion.
	And when he came in, he was wearing a red and white, vertically striped, short-sleeved shirt that looked nothing like the long-sleeved, richly textured shirt that Lee had been wearing that day.
	So, what do we have?
	Larry's reconstructed what it actually would have looked like before alteration took place.
	It's not exactly right, but it certainly gives you the general idea of what an authentic photograph in color would have resembled.
	Meanwhile, just to show how far the CI is willing to go to obfuscate the truth, they even printed up special editions of some obscure newspapers, in this case the News Palladium, to include the Alton's photograph To reinforce the argument that there hadn't been enough time to alter the photograph before it appeared in print.
	But in fact, it didn't appear in print until the following day.
	Here we have, you know, the one original extra.
	Here the second extra president is slain.
	This was the result of research by Ralph Sinque once again.
	Very good.
	Meanwhile, Life Magazine published one of the backyard photographs on its cover in order to implicate Lee Oswald as the assassin in the minds of the public.
	He's holding the Mannlicher Carcano with which he's alleged to have shot the president in his left hand.
	He is wearing a pistol belt and a revolver with which he's alleged to have shot police officer J.D.
	Tippett and holding two communist newspapers, The Worker and The Militant.
	Seemingly combining motive with means, where everyone knew he was working at the Books Depository and therefore had the opportunity.
	Well, Jack White used the newspapers as an internal yardstick and found out the figure who had posed for the backyard photograph was either too short to be Lee, since he was only 5'6 by that yardstick, where Lee we knew to be about 5'10, or when they created, when they faked the photographs, they put in the newspapers too large, which is exactly what appears to have been the case.
	Now, Jim Mars and I co-authored an article about the backyard photograph where we concluded that the person who posed in the backyard is Lee Oswald, the body double, where when shown one of these photographs, Lee Oswald had told Will Fritz, that's my face pasted on somebody else's body.
	I know something about photography and with time I'll be able to prove it.
	Lee didn't live long enough to do it.
	But here you have Larry's confirmation of the conclusion of Jim Mars and myself, Roscoe White, that Dallas cop, played the role, the body double.
	And you'll notice Roscoe's a very husky guy across the shoulders and the chest, much more so than Lee Oswald.
	So that the figure in the backyard photograph even has a physique that differs from that of Lee Oswald, as you can see here.
	Lee is much more diminutive.
	He cannot have been the figure in the backyard photograph.
	Where indeed it turns out to have been Roscoe White.
	Here's one of the clues that led Jim Mars and me to conclude that it was actually Roscoe White.
	Namely, he had a bone that hadn't healed properly and therefore had this unusual bump in the vicinity of his wrist, which you can see both in the backyard photograph and in another photograph taken, as I recall, near Lake Pontchartrain.
	Where they were running anti-Castro operations.
	To get a grip on the assassination, it's best to draw distinctions between the sponsors, the facilitators, and the mechanics.
	The sponsors were the individuals and groups who wanted JFK out, principally for reasons of policy, though in the case of anti-Castro Cubans, For revenge in the belief that he had betrayed them at the Bay of Pigs.
	The CIA were concerned because Jack had had Maxwell Taylor and Bobby investigate in the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs and discovered that the agency itself had learned the Soviets knew the date of the invasion and had warned Fidel Castro.
	So Fidel knew we were coming, the Soviets knew we were coming, The CIA knew we were coming.
	Only the commander-in-chief was left in ignorance.
	For this, he was threatening to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces.
	The Joint Chiefs were upset with Jack and threw in on the assassination.
	Because he had not followed their advice.
	He'd not invaded Cuba, contrary to the unanimous recommendation.
	He'd gone ahead and signed an above-ground nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union, contrary to their unanimous opposition.
	And now he was going to pull our forces out of Vietnam by the end of 1964, where they felt a stand had to be taken against international godless communism.
	This was largely rooted in the fictional domino theory that if China took Vietnam, then it would take Laos, Cambodia, the rest of Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and extend its reach to New Zealand, Australia.
	It was all poppycock from the beginning.
	The Vietnamese are fiercely nationalistic and would have not tolerated any intervention by China.
	Meanwhile, I've explained the anti-Castro-Cubans motivation.
	The mafia was upset.
	It appears because they thought they had an agreement with Joe Kennedy that if they assisted Jack in winning the election by insuring Chicago, and therefore Illinois, What for the Democrat nominee that the administration would lay off.
	But Bobby or Jack would never have agreed to any such arrangement.
	And indeed, Jack appointed Bobby Attorney General.
	And he went aggressively after the mafia, bringing about more indictments and convictions than ever before in history.
	Even Edgar himself had been unable to identify or acknowledge the existence of organized crime, because just as he had sex dossiers on the members of Congress, the mob had a sex dossier on Edward, who is well known, liked to wear women's clothing, but who also was captured in compromising photographs with his close aide, Clyde Tolson.
	So that until the Joe Veloce hearings, where the structure of the mob was laid out with such precision, it was no longer politically possible to deny it, Edgar remained silent.
	Then we had the Eastern establishment surrounding the Fed, where Jack had very appropriately directed the Department of Treasury to publish Hundreds of millions of United States notes on the ground that it was absurd for the government to be paying interest to a consortium of private banks for printing the currency of the United States when it could be done for no interest at all by the Department of the Treasury.
	These notes had a red embossed imprint.
	They said United States note rather than green embossed Federal Reserve note and indeed his point was impeccable.
	Most of the national debt we hear about is compound interest on interest for printing the currency of the United States, which should never have been permitted in the first place.
	Texas oilmen were concerned because Jack was threatening to cut off the oil depletion allowance.
	Which was a humongous, like around 28% tax write-off they got on auspicious ground by pumping oil out of the ground.
	Since it was a finite resource, they were putting themselves out of business.
	We know today that oil is produced naturally by the earth, and that it's virtually boundless in its availability.
	You may recall the catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico.
	That was a deep drill that tapped into this vast reservoir that had caused the flooding of the Gulf, where they put Corexid, a very toxic substance, on the water in order to conceal the oil, which was making matters worse.
	Israel was also upset with Jack because he was at loggerheads with David Ben-Gurion, the founder and first Prime Minister of Israel, who wanted his nation to develop nuclear weapons, which Jack opposed in the belief it would lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
	Ben-Gurion appears to have resigned in frustration after assigning the Mossad to partake in the assassination of JFK.
	The mechanics were the shooters, their supervisors, and coordinators.
	It may come as a surprise to some, but they included George Herbert Walker Bush and Edward Lansdale, who was an Air Force general responsible for assassinations around the world, especially in Vietnam, during what was known as Operation Phoenix, taking out leaders of villages in Vietnam.
	He appears to have been the person who designated the location of the shooters and the sequence in which the shots would be taken.
	George H.W.
	Bush, when he was appointed director of the CIA, was said to be the first civilian to assume that office.
	But in fact, he had a long history with the agency, including supervising the Bay of Pigs operation, which was codenamed Operation Zapata, which was the name of the Bush family oil drinking A company where I believe had it been successful Zapata would have had concessions that drill for oil all over the Caribbean basin.
	The facilities and the key players were Lyndon Johnson of the assassination and J Edgar Hoover of the cover-up.
	Indeed, because Lyndon was going to become president, he could guarantee that no one would ever face a penalty for participating in the assassination of his predecessor.
	He and Hoover were very tight.
	They were neighbors in Washington, D.C.
	Edgar was godfather to one of Lyndon's daughters, and both of them despised JFK.
	Here are the shooters that have been identified.
	Harry Weatherford was a deputy sheriff on top of the county records building, described as a crack shot.
	He was asked if he'd shot JFK, and he replied, you little son of a bit.
	I shoot lots of people.
	He also wrote that a custom-made silencer for a rifle had been delivered to Weatherford a few weeks before the assassination.
	Now, Jim Mars and I both agree this shot was taken with a .30-06 to implant a Mannlicher Carcano bullet, a smaller caliber, in JFK to tie it to the weapon Oswald was alleged to have used, using a plastic collar known as a sabot, And it may well be that because it was fired in that fashion, it had such shallow penetration, only about to the second knuckle of your little finger.
	It appears to have passed through the upholstery of the limousine en route, as Roy Schaefer pointed out to me.
	And Jack, of course, was wearing his back brace, which was necessary to alleviate pain he acquired during The World War II when his boat PT-109 was sunk and he helped to save one of his fellow sailors.
	Here's another Jack Lawrence who was an expert in the Air Force firing from inside the Triple Underpass with his new weapon.
	It turns out that only a small number were produced and one of those who was a recipient was Curtis LeMay who at the time was the head of the Air Force.
	I believe that Lawrence Who went to work for the downtown Lincoln-Mercury car dealership that provided the vehicles for the motorcade, which were of all different makes and colors and models, unlike any other presidential motorcade, which is virtually invariably uniform black Cadillac limousines, so that the plotters would know who was where everywhere in the motorcade.
	He went to work just a few days in advance.
	After the assassination, he showed up all muddy, sweating, vomiting.
	He appears to have made his escape through the sewer system in Dallas.
	The weapon he used, I believe, was actually given to him by Curtis LeMay, and it was a collapsible weapon.
	You could carry it under your coat jacket and no one would know you possessed it.
	Which appears to have been put in the circuit box right there inside the triple underpass.
	That was a shot that passed through the windshield and hit Jack in the throat.
	Meanwhile, we have been fired from that second floor window in the Dow Text building framed by the bookcase.
	Nestor Tony Escadro, an anti-Castro Cuban, for whom there's a statue in Little Havana.
	Now, the only other statue is to the man who emancipated Cuba from Spanish domination, so it's quite remarkable you have the only other statue to this rather obscure figure.
	But if you were asked someone in the know why that statue was there, they would reply, he took care of business.
	Here you can see the statue and its dedication.
	Tony Escadro.
	Really a fascinating story.
	Indeed, it appears that he was even being supervised in the building by George H.W.
	Bush, as I shall explain.
	Meanwhile, a Dallas police officer, none other than Roscoe White, with ties to the CIA, was on the grassy knoll.
	He fired with a pistol.
	But it appears that he pulled his shot because had he fired, Jackie would have been hurt and they were under strict instructions that should not happen.
	So while he had what might have been the easiest shot, the bullet wound up in the grass, was picked up by a Dallas police lieutenant and never seen again.
	Roscoe's son, Ricky White, discovered his diary and actually shared it with the FBI.
	Now, many do not know, but CIA operatives have to maintain a diary, so if any question arises where they might have been suspected to have been involved in a crime, they can fabricate evidence that serves as an alibi.
	They need to have the diary to make sure they don't make a mistake and relocate him, for example, where he actually was committing the crime.
	After sharing it with the FBI, the diary completely disappeared.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Firing that shot from the intersection of the triple underpass and the picket fence was Frank Sturges, who is a bit of a soldier of fortune, but whom I regard as having been the CIA shooter, he may have been the best marksman in the world at the time.
	Subsequently, he would go to New York City in an attempt to murder Marita Lawrence, who'd been a mistress of Fidel and who knew a lot about the assassination, to ensure she did not testify before the House Select Committee.
	When he came into her apartment, Jim Rothstein, a New York City gold shield detective of my acquaintance, put his gun in Sturgis' mouth.
	His partner put it up to his heart and they took him into custody.
	During their conversation, Rothstein gave him the throwaway line, nice shooting.
	And Sturgis admitted he'd shot JFK because he betrayed the Bay of Pigs, the brigade at the Bay of Pigs, which was false, but a convenient belief for the CIA allowed them to continue to entertain, and because he'd comported with an East German spy, which, sad to say, was true.
	Meanwhile, Malcolm McWallace was Lyndon Johnson's personal hitman.
	He murdered a dozen people on behalf of Lyndon, including one of his own sisters.
	During conversations I had with Madeleine Duncan Brown, who was a mistress of Lyndon, they began an affair in 1948.
	She bore him a son, Stephen, in 1950.
	She explained that she was also a shooter at the local Skeeton Trap Club.
	Mack Wallace was there the two weeks before the assassination, and according to Madeline, he never missed.
	Well, he was in the book depository, but on the opposite side, firing at John Connolly in the mistaken belief that it was Ralph Yarborough who is a liberal Texas Senator that Lyndon despised.
	Indeed, there was a huge argument that morning between Lyndon and JFK trying to get him out and Yarborough in, which Jack overrode on the ground that the chief executive of the state ought to ride with a chief executive of the United States.
	There wasn't enough time to notify the assassins.
	of that change, which is a reason why you see John Conley with a bit of a grim visage just prior to
	the motorcade. So he put the elements together and what it actually looks like is something like this.
	The first shot, the green from the top of the county records building by Harry Weatherford.
	He appears to have taken a second shot much later that left a mark by a sewer opening, but completely missed.
	The second shot is this bottom orange, which now would be moved to inside the triple underpass, fired by Jack Lawrence.
	This is a shot that passed through the windshield.
	There were three shots shown in yellow, fired by Nestor Tony Escadro from the Daltex.
	Two of which missed, one hitting the curb and injuring the distant bystander, James Tagg, who is standing here at the lower left.
	Another missed and hit a chrome strip over the windshield, but after Grimm pulled the limousine to the left and to a halt, he managed to hit JFK in the back of the head, causing him to slump forward.
	And the orange shots from the book depository were being fired by Mack Wallace, two or even three by my guess, one of which went through Conley's back, another hit his wrist, a third entered into his thigh, some combination thereof.
	No shots were fired from the alleged assassin's lair.
	Meanwhile, you have Roscoe White, the darker orange, firing from the grassy knoll the shot that he pulled and missed.
	We now have then Frank Sturgis at the upper left, the intersection of the triple underpass and the picket fence, firing the shot that interjects Wright Temple.
	Remember where Newsweek had the location for that fatal shot?
	Now I don't show it here, but there then appears to be yet another shooter who was on the South Knoll here where there's a single tree.
	You wouldn't think there was sufficient coverage for a shooter there, but I've seen photographs in the possession of two different experts.
	Two different photographs showing him standing holding a rifle, where David now believes that virtually simultaneously with the entry to the right temple was an entry to the left.
	That was, I take it, a frangible bullet that distributed that series of particles throughout the brain.
	Putting the pieces together, George H.W.
	Bush and Edward Lansing were on the ground.
	Exposing the cover-up narrows the range of possible suspects.
	Noel Twyman was first to lay out the dimensions of the plot.
	It was hatched in Los Angeles in 1960 at the DNC convention.
	Let me explain.
	Here's a photograph that appeared in Jesse Curry's FBI JFK assassination files, where Jesse had been the chief of police at the time.
	But after he retired, he became the head of security for 7-Eleven stores, and they published a paperback book Including photographs that were not otherwise available, where I may have been the first to recognize this was George Herbert Walker Bush standing in front of the Book Depository.
	Here you have other photographs of him.
	I think there's no doubt that's who this was.
	Here you see that height, the weight, the build, the clothing, the stance, the hands in the pocket, the tilt of the head.
	George Herbert Walker Bush.
	In the upper right on one of his Zapata oil platforms.
	Here we have some brilliant work by Richard Hooke, who identified that there's a figure behind S. Scudero in the Dow Tax, whom he believes, and I agree, was actually George Herbert Walker Bush.
	He was arrested coming out of the Dow Tax.
	He identified himself as an independent Houston oil man, which was his cover for the CIA.
	A deputy sheriff had access to the report about this.
	He wasn't booked, but he was arrested temporarily, which left W, whom he brought to the scene at loose ends, wondering what had become of his father.
	Thus we see, as Richard Hook has explained, In my opinion, that is him, George W. Bush.
	He was bewildered because dad was taken to the sheriff's office looking around for his father.
	The height, the weight, the build, the nose, ear, age, jaw, walk, minutes.
	Walking toward the building his dad was arrested at would be the Dow tax, the preppy loafers with white socks.
	What are the odds that this could all be, you know, anyone but him?
	I think Richard got it right.
	Meanwhile, a number of officials of the CIA were paying their last respects at the intersection of Maine and Houston, including Greystone Lich, Eddie Baio.
	David Morales was deeply involved in the assassination, but he was not there.
	This is a guy named Pushpenny who simply looked a lot like him.
	Ted Shackley, Rip Robertson, Tracy Barnes.
	Indeed, here we have the three tramps who might believe were backup Patsy's.
	The third of the three, the older guy, is Chauncey Marvin Holt.
	He has a fascinating story.
	He was an artist, a painter, a counterfeiter, a forager.
	He was working for the CIA as a contract when he was assigned the responsibility to prepare 15 sets of Ford Secret Service credentials to be used in and around Dealey Plaza.
	At the time, he was working at the Los Angeles Stationery Store, where he explained to me, the CIA has all of these proprietories, all these assets with innocuous sounding names.
	It was a five story building.
	The first three floors were a legitimate business.
	The top two where the CI ran its ID operation, including that for Alec Heidel, which Lee had in his possession when he was arrested in Dallas.
	The bottom three, the legit business interest, namely was manufacturing and providing sheriff and police shields and badges, so that if they needed a shield and badge, they couldn't just fake one, they could get the real deal.
	Chauncey explained to me he was worried that he might not get information on the color-coded pens the Secret Service wear that changed from assignment to assignment, but he got them in time.
	He'd been instructed to leave the Secret Service IDs in a red pickup truck that would be parked behind the pickup fence.
	Most of the public do not know that was a parking lot used by the Dallas Police Department.
	He went and it wasn't there, so he wandered around Dealey Plaza and told me he saw more hitmen assassination and, you know, mercenaries than you'd find at a soldiers of fortune convention.
	He went back and it was there.
	He'd been instructed after leaving to head down to the railroad yard where there'd be a boxcar that appeared to be locked but would not.
	He headed down and Company of the first figure here he knew as Richard Montoya, but his actual name is Charles Rogers.
	The second, the tallest of the three, Charles Harrelson, the father of the actor Woody.
	They found the car was indeed unlocked, climbed in, and found it was loaded with explosives, weapons, and ammunition.
	They thought they were getting away when the train started to pull out, but the supervisor of the railroad yard thought something was wrong and called the police who apprehended them and walked them through Dealey Plaza.
	Even the police, by the way, appeared to be fake.
	Here's another photograph of special interest, because you have an individual civilian walking past.
	He has been identified on the basis of his gait and his other physical features But also his hand and a distinctive ring as having been Edward Lansdale, the Air Force General, whom I have suggested was in fact organizing the assassination in terms of positioning the shooters and the sequence of the shots they would take.
	Identified by no less a few authorities than Al Fletcher Prouty who was his subordinate at the Pentagon and where Lansdale had sent Prouty on a ceremonial mission to the South Pole to get him out of the way because he knew Prouty was upright and would never have stood.
	For all the changes in security that would have been telling signs that this was a setup, and Victor Kulak, a celebrated Marine Corps General.
	So we have very, very authentic reports on his identity.
	Meanwhile, Lansdale would subsequently be waiting to speak to George H.W.
	Bush, no doubt to congratulate one another on the success of their operation in assassinating the President.
	There are many who have insisted that you couldn't have a conspiracy involving any number of people where nobody talked.
	But as Noel Twyman points out on a single page of his magnificent book, that's just not true.
	Many talk.
	Carlos Marcello bragged that Kennedy would be killed.
	Santo Trofigante Said he would be killed.
	Joseph Miltier, a right-wing nut, bragged he'd be killed by a rifle from a tall building.
	Johnny Rosselli told Jack Anderson Ruby was their man in order to silence Oswald.
	David Atlee Phillips, who was the head of the CIA for Western Hemisphere, said before he died, fringe elements of U.S.
	intelligence may have been involved.
	He was among them.
	Madeline Brown, Lyndon's mistress, said Johnson implied before the assassination it was going to happen.
	He actually confessed to her on New Year's Eve afterwards when she confronted him with rumors rampant in Dallas at the time that he'd been involved.
	He blew up and told her the CIA and the oil boys had decided that Jack had to be taken out.
	Which is as close to a confession as we will ever have.
	Marita Lawrence stated that Frank Sturgis told her a group of anti-Castro Cubans had been involved, that Sam Giancana's brother Chuck published a book called Double Cross, that Sam had confessed to the entire crime.
	But that's just part of the attempt to make The mob responsible for the assassination to deflect attention from the government and the role of the CIA.
	Others, Chauncey Holt, Charles Harrelson, Jim Hicks, who was a communication coordinator, Jack Ruby, even Billy Solestas, they all have confirmed their belief that Lyndon was at the heart of the matter.
	Meanwhile, if you start to appreciate how the cover-up was executed, if you realize that the KGB could not have extended its reach into Bethesda Naval Hospital to alter x-rays under control of medical naval officers and the Secret Service, or pro-Castro Cubans could not have substituted another brain for the brain of JFK, that The mob couldn't have got its hands on the Zapruder film to alter.
	You realize the number of suspects becomes very slight, that it could have been a black off of the CIA or a coup d'etat involving Lyndon, the Joint Chiefs, the intelligence community, the military, Israel and the like, which indeed is exactly what happened.
	Now in his brilliant book, Bloody Treason, Noel Twyman laid out the elements required for a perfect combination.
	The CIA military, the Secret Service, the Mafia, LBJ, and Hoover.
	With LBJ, Hoover could have been relied upon.
	Perhaps the risk would be acceptable once they had LBJ become his president.
	He could ensure that no one would ever be punished.
	So he talks about the ways it could have happened where the second All LBJ had to do was recruit the CIA, who'd use the mafias needed in the Secret Service, and he had perfect conspiracy, because Hoover was his buddy.
	Meanwhile, therefore, we have the key players involved here.
	It all began in Los Angeles in the 1960 convention, when JFK beat out Lyndon Johnson for the nomination for President of the United States.
	Jack invited Stuart Symington of Missouri to be his running mate, but gave him overnight to think about it.
	Meanwhile, Bobby went by the Johnson suite and made a pro forma gesture, never imagining the Senate Majority Leader, a very powerful position, would have the least interest.
	He was astonished When Lyndon jumped on it, threatened to expose that JFK had Addison's disease and wasn't expected to live a long healthy life, that among his paramours had been a spy for East Germany, both of which of course were true, the latter of which he'd learned from Edgar, and
	That if he were not on the ticket, then any legislative proposal set down by the White House would be dead on arrival, because in his position as a powerful majority leader of the Senate, he'd bottle them up.
	Bobby and Jack were dismayed, tried to figure out a way around it, but knew Lyndon had them boxed in.
	They acceded to his demand.
	When one of Lyndon's wealthy backers learned that he was going to be on the ticket with Jackie, burst into the Johnson suite cursing and swearing, because now Lyndon would help JFK to become president.
	Bobby Baker took him into a bedroom and explained what they had in mind.
	He came out all smiles, saying he thought that was an excellent plan.
	Bobby Baker would later declare in public that JFK would not live out his first term and that he would die a violent death.
	Lyndon Johnson would subsequently send his chief administrative assistant, Cliff Carter, down to Dallas to make sure all the arrangements were in place for the assassination.
	Meanwhile, if you want more, my fourth book on JFK, who, how, and why, is available at moonrockbooks.com.
	Let me just say how much I admire Oliver Stone, and he was most certainly on the right track with JFK, but compromised because Robert Grodin was withholding important information he needed to have.
	I'm apprehensive that in the case of this second sequel, which will be released on the 22nd, that Jim DiEugenio may have played a similar role here.
	DiEugenio published a hit piece on me a couple years back that I thought was bizarre because he was talking about areas of my research with which DiEugenio had no acquaintance whatsoever.
	I now believe It was a group effort to take me out of the picture because Oliver, based on my earlier work, may have been contemplating tying in with my research group, which consisted of the best experts to ever study the case.
	So I'm apprehensive that just as Robert Grodin Played a managing role in relation to the production of JFK that Jim DiEugenio may have played a similar role in relation to the sequel which will be available on the 22nd of November.
	I look to it, forward to it, I think Oliver Stone has been marvelous in placing himself on the line in defense of the truth about the assassination of JFK.
	I wish him well.
