Mr. HUGH WILLIAM BETZNER, JR. stated in detail in his very earliest, first statement (that he voluntarily provided to the Dallas police),
specifically time stamping for us that he, first, captured his photo with his camera (that was captured simultaneous with ZAPRUDER frame Z-186). . . .
wwwv . . . . after . . . .
.... an instant of time during which Mr. BETZNER had already reached for, then, already taken ahold of, then, he had already started to locate then take hold of his camera's manual film advance mechanism, then, he had already also manually started to advance the film inside his camera....
wvvwwwwwwwwwv . . . . that it was . . . .
that the1 first
audible muzzle blast or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-wave crack sound
Mr. BETZNER remembered hearing (or, that he could hear) was fired, distinctly,
after 1 his1 Z-186 1 photo
(while gunfire battles experienced JFK was still smiling and waving, and, importantly, that shot was fired while the President was1 still hidden underneath the large tree, out of the targeting view of anyone in the commission-apologists, supposed, “lone-nut” “snipers lair”)
Mr. BETZNER’s very detailed, and, very specific time stamping of an audible shot blast or "silenced" bullet shock N-wave crack sound that was fired after his Z-186 photo also exactly matches with, by far, the significantly largest jiggles and blurs episode imparted by ABRAHAM ZAPRUDER’s hands onto his camera and into his film during the volleys of shots......…

.....… Mr. BETZNER captured his Z-186-simultaneous photo while JFK was still hidden under the large oak tree, and was not able to be seen in the targeting-view to anyone in the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, “lone-nut” “snipers lair,” and, Mr. BETZNER captured his Z-186-simultaneous photo when Mr. ZAPRUDER is documented that he also transferred to his movie camera and therefore also transferred to his film the largest continuous, longest-lasting episode of pre-Z-313 jiggles and blurs impulsive hand responses that were possibly, and most likely probably, in simultaneous, direct response to Mr. ZAPRUDER’s suddenly startled reaction to his hearing a loud, audible muzzle blast or a mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-wave crack sound (as clearly seen in this documentary, Warren Commission-apologist-bias CBS News also confirmed that in every recreated shots tests it performed in 1967 that caused the startled movie filmer to record blurs and jiggles into their test film)

Slide photo # 5 captured simultaneously with ZAPRUDER film frame Z-202 by
PHILLIP LaFRANCE WILLIS, a very close, very key assassination
witness who was also a WWII veteran
NOTE In the WILLIS # 5 photo that there was visible a still-unknown
person’s dark outline aligned on a line-of-sight to the grassy knoll, near
the cement “retaining wall,” who was located specifically between that
same “retaining wall” and the picket fence. (and, at this instant, this
still-unknown person had a clear line-of-sight at JFK) The House Select
Committee on Assassinations scientifically determined in its 1979
report that this person was a Caucasian. Researcher’s call this person
the “black dog man” due to his/her outlined posture at that
instant resembling a sitting dog)
With his military experienced precision, Mr. WILLIS clearly detailed for us within
his 11-22-63 volunteered, earliest, very first affidavit statements about the
“shots” that he remembered hearing (or that he could hear) ....
" Willis says he knows from his war experience
the sound a rifle shot makes when it finds its mark
and he says he is sure all three shots fired found
their mark. "
. . . . and . . . .
" Willis advised that at just about the time that
the limousine carrying President Kennedy was
opposite the Stemmons freeway road sign he
heard a loud report and knew immediately it
was a rifle shot and knew also the shot ‘had hit.’ ”
(Warren Commission-commissars document, WCD-1245 . . . . PHILLIP LaFRANCE WILLIS very close witness and WWII battles and gunshots experienced veteran, in his written statement to the Warren Commission, specifically detailing President KENNEDY being impacted by the first of 3 audible muzzle blasts or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-waves crack sounds that WILLIS remembered hearing (or could hear), and that 1st bullet impact occurred, from Mr. WILLIS’s exact location during the attack, when President KENNEDY was within WILLIS’s line-of-sight that was precisely aligned with the “Stemmons” freeway sign north vertical edge at ZAPRUDER frame equivalent Z-190 to 191, until, Mr. WILLIS’s line-of-sight to the “Stemmons” freeway sign south vertical edge at ZAPRUDER frame equivalent Z-196 to 197 . . . . and very importantly, this was also while the President was still hidden by the large tree, and therefore, still hidden from the view and targeting by anyone in the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, lone-nut “snipers lair.” Mr. WILLIS's testimony also solidly confirms HUGH BETZNER’s nearly 1-second earlier photo time stamping, with Mr. WILLIS also describing that the 1st of the 3 audible muzzle blasts or mechanically suppressed-fired, "silenced" bullet bow shock N-waves crack sounds that Mr. WILLIS remembered hearing (or could hear) startled WILLIS, so much, that it also caused him a micro-second later to involuntarily press the shutter button on his “Argus” 35mm camera .... then .... he captured his #5 photo simultaneously with ZAPRUDER film frame Z-202
.... At the again-revised Warren Commission-apologists theory of its time stamping of a first shot around Z-150,
(a micro-second before JFK’s ultrafast head snap that started at Z-155 to 156) the 12 miles-per-hour
moving President KENNEDY was located exactly 50’ and 2.84 seconds before his location
seen in the WILLIS # 5 photo (indicating that at Z-150 the President was
located in a location much more to the WILLIS # 5’s photo right)
.... Very Importantly, at Z-150,
when President KENNEDY had been
located that 50’ and 2.84 seconds before
the WILLIS # 5 photo, the President was also
located at nearly exactly his very closest to Mr. WILLIS,
then only 19’ away, who at the same Z-150 instant, we
can clearly see that Mr. WILLIS had his arms and his camera still
lowered downward ---- totally away from his face, and, WILLIS was still
getting ready to raise his lowered hands back upwards and towards his face to....
. . . . then . . . .
.... snap his Z-202 photo that he impulsively snapped because it was his response
to a loud audible muzzle blast and/or "silenced" bullet bow shock N-wave crack sound
stimulus that then impulsively startled him into snapping his Z-202 photo.
“We were looking back up the street to see if
the motorcade was coming and the first two
shots were fired, and of course the first shot,
boom, the President threw his arms up like
that, spun around sort of, and then it look[ed]
like he was looking in the crowd, you know,
like he was looking for something, just kind
of a wild expression.”
.... “It seemed we were in the direct path of
fire.”
.... “I thought the shot had come from the
garden directly behind me, that was on an
elevation from where I was.” **
.... “I do not recall looking toward the Texas
School Book Depository. I looked back in the
vicinity of the garden.”
(BILL NEWMAN, the very closest standing assassination witness to when President KENNEDY’s head initially exploded at Z-313, quoted in 1966 in the book “Six Seconds in Dallas.” (neither Mr. NEWMAN nor his wife were called to provide their testimony and shots time stampings to the Warren Commission) . . . . Mr. NEWMAN specifically detailing President KENNEDY was impacted by the 1st audible muzzle blast or the 1st mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-wave crack sound that NEWMAN remembered hearing (or could hear), and the President also instantaneously reacting to his being 1st blast/shock N-wave bullet impacted, accompanied with NEWMAN's very detailed description and time stamping that President KENNEDY “spun around” with a “wild expression” is a perfect description (also supported by several, additional, very close witnesses) of the President’s Z-203 to 206 documented, very quick 87 degrees head snap, “spun around” reaction to his being bullet impacted, accompanied with JFK’s bullet impacted shocked realization time needed for his Z-206 closed mouth to then move his mouth to displaying it already widely open (possibly/probably also as he gasped for his hyper-adrenalized try for his next breath) within only 1-second by Z-225 in his sudden, “wild expression” look, accompanied with another “spun around” head spin turn, head-shaking side-to-side towards the Elm Street north sidewalk witnesses that President KENNEDY took to physically, already, exhibit, at the latest, by Z-225....
** Mrs. NEWMAN also described the shot(s) as originating from “directly behind me”
. . . . Importantly, at the attack start the Depository was in front of Mr. NEWMAN's facing direction, and because we can see his posture and facing direction in several thoroughly documented photos and films, Mr. NEWMAN had consistently rotated his body and head to keep facing at the President as the President approached Mr. NEWMAN’s location. With this stated action, and the fact that several photos and films are all in complete agreement that Mr. NEWMAN also rotated his body and head to always keep facing at the President, we can also understand that all the way up until Zapruder frame 331, the geographical location “behind” NEWMAN before Z-331 was always the long suspected, grassy knoll and its HSCA scientifically determined picket fence gunshot location, also confirmed in the scaled Dealey Plaza map, here.
" Hudson was looking directly at President Kennedy
and saw his head slump to one side simultaneously
with the loud report made by the first shot. "

(Warren Commission Document 5 . . . . EMMETT JOSEPH HUDSON, another very close witness, in his very first statement when, like many of his fellow co-witnesses, he also detailed President KENNEDY immediately, instantaneously, reacting to JFK being impacted by the 1st of the 3 audible muzzle blasts and/or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-waves crack sounds that HUDSON remembered hearing, or, that Mr. HUDSON could hear....)

" then the second shot came, well then I looked back just in time to see the president struck in the face by the second shot. "
(JAMES M. CHANEY, Dallas Police motorcycle man and Presidential Limousine Escort, who was riding only 12' from President KENNEDY during the attack, in his very first, and earliest, 11-22-63 police station hallway interviews - one of which was with ABC TV reporter, BILL LORD - describing that it was the 2nd of 3 shots CHANEY remembered hearing (or could hear) that hit President KENNEDY in the head (several key and close witnesses who also remembered hearing or could hear at least 3 audible muzzle blasts and/or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-waves crack sounds also described hearing another distinctly separate “shot” after President KENNEDY’s head exploded). CHANEY also said that when he heard the 1st shot that CHANEY remembered hearing (or could hear), it sounded like a motorcycle backfiring, and attracted CHANEY to look to his left and he immediately did see that President KENNEDY at that instant was obviously reacting to that 1st shot bullet that impacted, and President KENNEDY, in CHANEY’s words, "looked back over his left shoulder" . . . . an exact description of President KENNEDY's first bullet impact reaction documented approximately Z-203 to 235 . . . . Importantly, in the vital IKE ALTGENS #6 photo…(link opens to reveal an extremely large clear ALTGENS # 6) captured concurrent with ZAPRUDER frame 255, CHANEY has already heard the 1st audible muzzle blast or "silenced" shock N-wave crack sound that CHANEY remembered hearing, and CHANEY is clearly documented as facing President KENNEDY, exactly as CHANEY described he did . . . . Not surprisingly - and just as it was "overlooked" like many other key close witnesses and considerations - even though Officer CHANEY was absolutely THE closest witness to JFK located outside of the limousine-----as CHANEY was riding and looking at President KENNEDY from a very close 10' to 12' during the attack shots-----the Warren Commission chose to never call CHANEY [and ---- just as it did with several additional very key and/or very close witnesses---- it never wanted to call him!, imho] so he could provide us his sworn testimony))
"Yes. I heard one. Then there was a little bit of time, and then there were two real fast bullets together. When the first one hit, well the President turned from waving to the people, and he grabbed his throat, and he kind of slumped forward, and then, I couldn't tell where the second shot went."
(LINDA WILLIS, another very close attack witness, in her testimony to the Warren Commission lone-nut-commissars, also describing President KENNEDY immediately, instantaneously reacting to being impacted by the first shot volley that WILLIS remembered hearing (or could hear))

and cameraman, who rode in murder-cade camera car # 3, during his very first
11-22-63 news report that was nationally broadcast 17 minutes after
the attack at 12:47 PM CDT)
“The first two were pretty evenly spaced, and the last was a little bit closer.”
(Dallas Police Motorcycle Officer & Presidential escort man MARRION LEWIS BAKER, “No More Silence" 1998)
at the crowd on this side of the street.... at this point I
heard what sounded like one shot.”
(The first affidavit to the Dallas police on 11-22-63 provided by Mr. JOHN ARTHUR CHISM =
who is hidden by the “Stemmons” freeway sign in the ZAPRUDER film =
and he was another kill zone, very close witness, describing in great
detail that President KENNEDY had already first started his last hand wave
(a hand wave that started at Z-170 to 171 while the President was hidden
by a large oak tree and out of the view and targeting view of anyone in the
“Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, lone-nut “snipers lair”)
.... THEN....
the first shot Mr. CHISM remembered hearing (or could hear) occurred of the 3 blasts and/or shock N-waves crack sounds that he could hear. . . . Many additional close witnesses who spoke of the timing of the 1st shot that they also remembered hearing (or could hear) also time stamped it as happening
AFTER the President had already started that same Z-170 to 171 wave, and
AFTER, the President was already hidden out of the view and out of the targeting by anyone in the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, lone-nut “snipers lair”)
“ By Zapruder frame 207, when President Kennedy is seen going behind a sign that obstructed Zapruder’s view, he appears to be reacting to a severe external stimulus. This reaction is first indicated in the vicinity of frame 200 of the Zapruder film. The President’s right hand freezes in the midst of a waving motion, followed by a rapid leftward movement of his head. There is, therefore, photographic evidence of a shot striking the President by this time. ”
(HSCA Report and HSCA volume 6, page 17 .... Also, see my
Visual Report entitled "The First Bullet Impact Into President
Kennedy: While JFK was Still Hidden Under the 'magic-
limbed-ricochet-tree' " also available for you, here.
that the lone-nut first, and closest, shot occurred at approximately frames Z-150 to Z-160
.... but ....
the Warren Commission's current "theory" is that bullet was fired at 2165 feet-per-second into the branches and thick foliages of a large, very close by oak tree . . . .
(even though the Warren Commission, itself determined in recreations that the President
was not hidden by the large oak tree branches and leaves until Z-166, and the
Warren Commission determined that all the lone-nut had to do was wait about 2 seconds
until President KENNEDY cleared the tree branches after Z-210 into open targetability,
and, even though President KENNEDY had already exhibited in the
ZAPRUDER film an extremely fast rightward head snap reaction starting at Z-155
and ending at Z-158, closely followed by JOHN CONNALLY, who had also already exhibited
a rapid rightward head snap starting at Z-162, closely followed by Mrs. KENNEDY‘s
rightward head turn starting at Z-169)
When the Warren Commission’s lone-nut, supposedly, fired his first bullet into the very close, large oak tree (that is still growing there), the Warren Commission bullet traveled approximately 87’ downward,
. . . . then . . . . the Warren Commission bullet, supposedly, hit a branch of that oak tree,
. . . . then . . . . the branch, supposedly, deflected the lone-nut bullet into an altered trajectory that was now 28 to 30 degrees more upward than its original 1476 miles-per-hour downward trajectory,
. . . . and simultaneously, supposedly, deflected the Warren Commission bullet 19 to 21 degrees more rightward than its original trajectory (the branch-deflected angles causing the bullet to miss everyone in the limousine and miss the entire limousine),
. . . . and, the Warren Commission bullet’s copper-hardened outer casing surrounding its softer lead core was, supposedly, also simultaneously stripped-off by a tree branch (no evidence of a sheared-off bullet outer copper-hardened casing was ever found in the tree, nor on Elm Street, nor anywhere within Dealey Plaza),
. . . . then . . . . the deflected-now-slowed lead-only Warren Commission bullet core traveled another almost 600 feet as it was arcing substantially more upward than its original downward trajectory, then, slowing some and arcing downward (losing height and speed due to gravity),
. . . . then. . . . it struck the Main Street south cement curb with still enough speed and force to cause a scared impact (a.k.a. the “Tague curb impact”)....That Warren Commission bullet scared curb impact contained no copper traces from a hardened outer bullet shell, but the scar did contain metal traces of lead and antimony that are found inside of bullets (the copperless curb scar implies one of two things; either that Warren Commission bullet’s copper-hardened outer shell completely stripped-off during an impact with something between its firing and it impacting the Main Street curb, or, a second assassin’s fired bullet impacted the curb, and that second assassin's bullet never had a copper-hardened outer shell when it was fired),
. . . . then . . . . a lead-core-only bullet fragment, or, a chipped-off curb fragment flew approximately 17’ then hit witness JAMES THOMAS TAGUE with enough force to cause a facial wound scratch that drew his blood.
snipers lair was thoroughly searched....
.... but . . . .
No bullet metal traces were ever found anywhere on or in any part of the large tree,
No bullet deflection scar was ever found anywhere on any part of the large tree,
No bullet metal traces were ever found anywhere on any part of Elm Street. (Despite
multiple witnesses repeatedly detailing that they each did see the same bright
spark, or, different, additional multiple bright sparks and/or asphalt
debris suddenly appear atop Elm Street during the attack shots)
Mr. TAGUE, himself, commission-testified that he was wounded with the 2nd or 3rd shot that he remembered hearing (or could hear), and when the Warren Commission lone-nut-lawyer pressed him further, Mr. TAGUE testified that it was the 2nd* shot that wounded him, NOT the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, "lone-nut," currently-revised, theorized 1st shot, supposedly, fired into the branches and leaf foliages of the closeby, large “magic-limb-ricochet-tree,” that blocked targeting JFK, = that anyone in the "lone-nut" "snipers lair" most likely/surely would have known about simply looking around ahead of time.
(* the warrenatti-apologist, current, "theory" mandates that the 2nd shot was the hospital-found, nearly-pristine, bloodless, skinless, whole, intact "single-bullet-'theory' "magic"-bullet that never shed a broken-off fragment, and therefore that never hit Mr. TAGUE)

was made much more public and the commission was forced to

Close-up details of the Tague curb impact damage
as documented the weekend of 11-22-63
the Tague curb impact damage as seen while sitting in
the United States National Archives
At Zapruder frame 313 witness and soon to be slightly wounded victim, James Tague (commission-testimony), was standing 271' to the front and left of the limousine’s facing direction (and Mr. Tague’s standing location was also slightly to the right of President Kennedy's head facing direction at Z-313 when the President's head, initially, exploded).
Mr. Tague commission-testified that during the assassination shots he was struck by something nearly simultaneous with the second shot he remembered hearing. He testified that something had slightly cut him and drew some drops of blood on the right side of his face. (in his commission-testimony Mr. Tague initially stated he was wounded with the second or third shot, and when the Warren Commission lawyer pressed him, Mr. Tague stated he was wounded with the second shot)
Importantly, at Z-313 the Tague curb impact damage was located 17.9’ LOWER THAN the highest point of the limousine’s pushed-upwards, undamaged sun visors that were directly between President Kennedy’s head wound, and the bullet/bullet-fragment caused curb impact damage.
Of the shots source he could hear, Mr. Tague commission-testified the shots were fired from his left, from “up by the, whatever you call the monument, or whatever it was----” but when Mr. Tague testified to this, then, the Warren Commission lawyer quickly cut-off Tague’s testimony, and rapidly substituted another followup question that was totally un-related . . . .
. . . . The "monument" that Mr. Tague testified to that was a shot(s) source is the “North Pergola” cement structure (a.k.a. the “Bryan’s Pergola”) that sits on the north grassy knoll, adjacent to the grassy knoll picket fence....This pergola is located a distance of over 100’ west of the Texas School Book Depository, and over 200’ away from the Warren Commission-apologists, supposed, lone-nut “snipers lair.”
Minutes after the attack Mr. Tague reported to Dallas Deputy Sheriff Walthers that he had been stung by something on the right side of his face during the shots. Walthers confirmed that Mr. Tague had 3 or 4 drops of blood on his right facial cheek. (Tague also had an already healing scratch on his left facial cheek that is seen in a photo captured in Dealey Plaza minutes later. Mr. Tague stated to me that his left facial cheek scratch had been caused during the week before the assassination) Then Tague and Walthers closely examined the immediate surrounding area to near where Mr. Tague had stood during the attack. They soon discovered what Mr. Tague has described as "a fresh mark - a very fresh mark" located on the upper rounded part of the curbstone of the south curb of Main Street that had been caused by the impact of a whole bullet, or, caused by a bullet fragment shed from a previously whole bullet that had hit something and broke apart before hitting the curb.
Then, when Tague and Walthers looked back northeastward, toward the Houston-Elm Streets intersection, Deputy Sheriff Walthers stated to Mr. Tague that one shot that had hit the curb may have come from the buildings bordering the Houston and Elm intersection. Walthers then alerted the Dallas police via radio.
Mr. Tague voluntarily provided authorities with his affidavit the afternoon of 11-22-63 detailing his experiences and his salient, critically important observations and experiences during the attack.
Thereafter, during the following many months of the “investigation”, Mr. Tague never once heard again from any investigationofficials, nor did he read nor hear anything in the news about his being caused to be actually wounded by a bullet or bullet fragment during the attack.
----When the commission was already in the process of finalizing their Warren Commission lone-nut-report-canard, just as the nearing-closer U.S. Presidential election season was heating-up for Lyndon Johnson ---- and even though after he was wounded Mr. Tague had provided an immediate 11-22-63 statement to authorities, it was, only, AFTER Tague, himself, re-approached the investigationofficials, and only AFTER newspaper articles were written 7 months after the assassination, and only AFTER a United States Federal Attorney in Dallas, Martha J. Stroud, had also notified and reminded the Warren Commission investigators in the Summer of 1964 about the bullet impact mark on the curb, was the street curb bullet or bullet fragment caused scar, finally, decided by the Warren Commission that it needed to be removed by Hoover's F.B.I. for its inspection, spectrographic examinations for forensic trace evidence, etc. (after the F.B.I.'s examinations the removed “Tague curb” section has always been stored by the U.S. National Archives)
The wounding of Mr. Tague actually forced the Warren Commission to admit to his wounding being assassination shot-related.
Mr. Tague's wounding, further, forced the commission to completely change its shots scenario and invent its most controversial theory -- the so-called, “magic bullet,” “single-bullet” theory -- theorizing that Kennedy and Connally were struck with the same nearly-pristine, minorly-damaged, found with no skin, no muscle, no bone, nor any blood debris, anywhere, on the bullet.
The F.B.I. documented in its report that embedded into the “Tague curb” impact scar there was also trace elements of lead and antimony, but there was absolutely zero copper alloy residue.
This clearly indicates that, in the instant the curb was struck, that bullet, or, a fragment of what was left of that bullet, had no copper outer-casing on it-----yet, the Warren Commission, supposed, lone-nut 6.5mm bullets each were manufactured to military specifications, and each bullet lead core was completely enclosed on its front nose and sides by a copper casing.
Very Interestingly, 4,000,000 bullets manufactured by the “Western Case Cartridge Company” for 6.5mm, copper jacketed, non-frangible bullets were purchased by, and, delivered to, the U.S. Marine Corps between 3-29-54 and 9-2-54, even though, officially, none of the United States entire military services ever utilized any weapon that fired 6.5 millimeter bullets. (some researchers promote that these purchases by the Marine Corps were actually fronted for the bullets final destination ~ to the C.I.A. and/or its para-military groups it sponsored and armed with 6.5 millimeter bullets weapons))
Sometime after being spectrographically examined by the F.B.I. in 1964, the F.B.I. slides containing the critical trace physical and forensic elements of the bullet strike that created the curbstone scar chip completely vanished out of the, known, Warren Commission lone-nut evidence.
The F.B.I. later admitted (only after author, researcher, and former U.S. Senate investigator Harold Weisberg had, first, filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, and the F.B.I. was forced to admit) that the F.B.I., itself, had internally decided (which begs the simple and revealing questions, “Who decided, and, when?) to completely destroy all of these same, very key, forensic Kennedy assassination evidence spectrographic slides of the curb bullet-impact scar, and, the F.B.I. claimed it "must have done it to ‘save’ space" within the F.B.I. storage archives ----even though the F.B.I. had one of the largest and most expansive storage archives in the entire world.**
A 1983 documented study of the “Tague curb impact” scar by an engineering firm hired by the Reader's Digest concluded that the curb scar had been deliberately patched over ------covered-up------ with a foreign-substance material.
(Covered-up by whom?; acting on which persons orders from what organization(s)?; and when was it covered-up?)
A photograph of the curb taken by a F.B.I. agent just before the curb stone was cut out of the street in August 1964 shows the "Tague curb impact" scar had been patched-over/covered-up before it was cut from the street.
Here is a short VIDEO of James Tague's interview in 1988's, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy."Mr. Tague, in his 2003 book, "Truth Withheld", provides pictures of the scar taken right after the assassination, before it was cut from the street by the Warren Commission in August 1964, compared to as the curbstone sat in the National Archives in 1997.
In 1997 Mr. Tague visited the U.S. National Archives and he personally examined the curbstone scar chip. He was also accompanied by the U.S. National Archivist.
They both immediately agreed that the scar chip was covered-up with a foreign-material patch over the original scar chip.
(No documented record, nor documented authorization has been found, yet, of precisely who or what government agency, or what exact date the scar chip that was held within the U.S. government's evidence chain-of-possession was covered-up)
** NOTE: Several other crucial physical evidences and files in the case have also "disappeared" or were "routinely destroyed"....a portion of these key pieces of evidence that are still missing include:
**** The brain of President Kennedy that probably also contained the forensically traceable bullet(s) trajectory(ies) and/or additional, forensically testable bullet fragments not found during the Bethesda military autopsy
**** Several of President Kennedy's 11-22-63 autopsy X-Rays and photos
**** Bullet fragments recovered from the Presidential limousine
**** Bullet fragments recovered from within Governor Connally’s body
**** The hat that Connally held close to his smashed rib bone, his blown out chest, and his smashed wrist bone
**** The gold cuff link on Connally’s shirt right cuff that his wife stated she was told had been shot off
**** Bullet fragments recovered from within President Kennedy's body
**** Several key witnesses statements have vanished or were altered (according to the witnesses who gave the statements)
**** Lee Oswald's U.S. Marine Corps military records

"The Wounding of James Tague; Evidence
of a Second Gunman"
“ After a very short distance I heard a loud report which sounded like a firecracker. It appeared to come from the right and rear and seemed to me to be at ground level. I stood up and looked to my right and rear in an attempt to identify it. Nothing caught my attention except people shouting and cheering. A disturbance in 679X caused me to look forward toward the President's car. Perhaps 2 or 3 seconds elapsed from the time I looked to the rear and then looked at the President. He was slumped forward and to his left, and was straightening up to an almost erect sitting position as I turned and looked. At the moment he was almost sitting erect I heard two reports which I thought were shots and that appeared to me completely different in sound than the first report and were in such rapid succession that there seemed to be practically no time element between them. It looked to me as if the President was struck in the right upper rear of his head. The first shot of the second two seemed as if it missed because the hair on the right side of his head flew forward and there didn't seem to be any impact against his head. The last shot seemed to hit his head and cause a noise at the point of impact which made him fall forward and to his left again. Possibly four or five seconds elapsed from the time of the first report and the last. ”
witness riding in the Secret Service follow-up car right behind the President, in his 11-30-63 report....
**** HICKEY stated that he was looking to his left, and while he was looking left he, then, heard
the first audible muzzle gun blast or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" shock N-wave crack sound that
he remembered hearing (or could hear). He said he then turned to his right, partially stood
up looking while towards JFK, then, he looked directly to the rear. In the BETZNER # 3 photo
captured concurrently with ZAPRUDER frame # 186 HICKEY is seen facing to the left. In the
ZAPRUDER film we can see HICKEY makes a rapid head turn forward, towards President
KENNEDY, from Z-196 to 199. In the WILLIS # 5 photo captured concurrently with ZAPRUDER
frame # 202 HICKEY is seen facing forward. HICKEY detailed that after hearing a
blast/shock N-wave, then rapidly looking rightward towards President KENNEDY that he then

frontward again, just in time to hear 2 more very closely bunched shots . . . . But in the
very clear ALTGENS # 6 photo captured simultaneously with ZAPRUDER frame # 255,
we can clearly see that HICKEY is still turned to his right, still fully facing behind himself,
so, HICKEY has not, yet, turned frontward to again look at the President, and, right in
line with the many dozens of Dealey Plaza witnesses, he still has not heard the
last 2 very closely bunched blasts and/or "silenced" shock N-waves crack sounds that were fired....

be practically no time element between them. "

" In 1978, in testimony before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, an Army scientist [LARRY STURDIVAN, my insertion] at the Edgewood Laboratory of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds revealed the results of a test he had performed for the Warren Commission back in 1964. In an attempt to simulate the fatal wound, ten skulls had been shot with the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. All ten skulls, instead of moving back toward the rifle, ‘moved in the direction of the bullet.’ "

(ROBERT H. WEST testimony on 2-13-69 during the trial of the C.I.A. Domestic Contact Agent and international/national businessman CLAY SHAW)
Mr. WEST was an attack witness who was located close to the southeast corner of the Main and Houston intersection.
Prior to the JFK-elimination Mr. WEST had worked as the Dallas County Surveyor for decades, working in the "Old Red Court House" building at the southeast corner at the Main and Houston intersection, with his decades of opportunities and experience to directly observe and be very familiar with the Dealey Plaza grounds and audible characteristics.
Mr. WEST testified that he heard 4 distinctly separate loud noises, and he thought the first 2 loud noises were motorcycle backfires, and that he was sure the last 2 loud noises were each fired by a rifle.
Of the rifle fired audible muzzle blasts and/or mechanically suppressed-fired "silenced" bullet bow shock N-waves crack sounds, he specifically localized them as coming from the grassy knoll, and, that was the same location that he first went to (exactly as also dozens of his co-witnesses go towards the grassy knoll) upon hearing the 2 backfires and 2 rifle blasts and/or "silenced" shock N-waves crack sounds.
When Mr. WEST was questioned under oath about the 6 buildings located at the outside perimeter half of Dealey Plaza, and if “the effect of a valley which is very susceptible to echoes and in which it is very difficult to determine the direction from which sound is coming?," Mr. WEST (whose Dallas County Surveyor work office was also in the Red Courthouse within the Dealey Plaza he was completely familiar with, and where he had worked since 1944) testified....
what I knew was an echo. As to which way sound is coming
from, I don't know that I ever had any trouble. ”
. . . . In 1964 the Warren Commission (deliberately ?) chose to never call Mr. WEST to testify, even though the commission's investigating F.B.I. had managed Mr. WEST when the F.B.I employed him several times to produce many surveyed maps of Dealey Plaza.

also stated they heard a shot after JFK's head had already exploded; which
if true, totally invalidates the Warren Commission's theory of the
sequence of shots) ....

DECKER was also very soon documented being heard on the Dallas police-recorded radio in his very first post-attack orders when he chose to first, immediately, also order his Dallas deputy sheriff's to support the Dallas policemen and move into the railroad yard and parking lot areas that were located right next to the picket fence on the grassy knoll that DECKER and CURRY were right next to during the attack shots (even though the Depository was many hundreds of feet directly behind DECKER and CURRY's car)

GUNN: If we could now look at the sixth view, which is described as the 'wound of entrance in right posterior occipital region.' Photograph No. 42. Mr. Sibert, does that photograph correspond to your recollection of the back of President Kennedy's head?
SIBERT: Well, I don't have a recollection of it being that intact, as compared with these other pictures. I don't remember seeing anything that was like this photo. . . That's why his head is raised here. It's been elevated; hasn't it? But still, that--that wound was back here. The hair looks like it's been straightened out and cleaned up more than what it was when we left the autopsy. [The picture was taken before the Presidential autopsy began]
GUNN: Do you remember earlier in the deposition when I asked you if--when you observed the body immediately after the photography--photographs had been taken, if the hair had been cleaned or combed in any way? And as I recall, you said, no; that it still seemed pretty messy.
SIBERT: During the rest of the autopsy, it did.
GUNN: So, does that photograph correspond to what you recall from the autopsy of President Kennedy?
SIBERT: From what I can recall, I didn't really see anything that was this 'neat'--I guess, is the best word to use--as compared with what I observed that night.
GUNN: I'm going to show you again the drawing that you made, No. 188--where you have drawn a wound, which just a moment ago you said was even larger than here.
SIBERT: That's true, I'd like to redraw that. That's not large enough.
GUNN: But do you see anything that corresponds in Photograph No. 42 to what you observed during the night of the autopsy?
SIBERT: No. I don't recall anything like this at all during the autopsy. There was much--Well, the wound was more pronounced. And it looks like it could have been reconstructed or something, as compared with what my recollection was and those other photographs.
GUNN: Steve (Tilley), if we could look at No. 43, which is a very similar view. Again, this is a somewhat different exposure but a view of the same thing.
SIBERT: I'd make the same statements relative to this photograph as I did for the other.
GUNN: . . . So, in conclusion, would it be fair to say that the photographs that we have been looking at from the sixth view do not correspond with what you observed on the night of the autopsy?
SIBERT: Right. These four. Again, I say, I was in error there. That was a much larger wound than that.
GUNN: Now you're referring to your exhibit No. 188.
SIBERT: Right.
GUNN: And you think that the wound should have been much larger than the one that you drew.
SIBERT: Yes.

SIBERT and O’NEILL then wrote this F.B.I. report that, significantly, included the very important detail that during the autopsy SIBERT heard the autopsy doctors stating that before President KENNEDY's body had reached Bethesda Hospital prior to the autopsy, surgery had been performed on President KENNEDY's head . . . . .
"Shortly thereafter the first shot went off and it sounded to me as if it were a firecracker. I noticed then that the President moved quite far to his left, after the shot, from the extreme right hand side where he had been sitting. There was a second shot and Governor Connally disappeared from sight and then there was a third shot which took off the top of the President's head and had the sickening sound of a grapefruit splattering against the side of a wall. The total time between the first and third shots was about 5 or 6 seconds. My first impression was that the shots came from the right and overhead, but I also had a fleeting impression that the noise appeared to come from the front in the area of the triple overpass."

nut-apologists theory mandates

shot was fired at 2165 feet per second (equals 1476 miles per
hour) into a tree branch, and even though the same type “Western
Case Cartridge Company” made bullets fired at the same velocity can
penetrate through 46”+ of soft wood, this Warren Commission lone-nut-
apologists theory first shot bullet was, instead, deflected by a branch or twig
at of that tree’s foliage just as JFK passed under that edge of the tree, and then,
the bullet missed hitting anyone in the limousine, only, 126' away, and, the bullet
also completely missed the very large limousine (even though a shot was fired
several frames before Z-155, then, JFK reacts in a very, very fast head snap
at Z-155, which was well BEFORE he ever even passed under the tree
foliage edge at the Warren Commission-measured Z-166)
.... Their theory is the Warren Commission’s
2nd shot was the minorly-damaged,
nearly-pristine, found with no skin,
no brain, no bone, nor any blood
debris on it, “magic bullet”
that lost a little bit
over 1 % of its
pristine, un-
fired weight,
that,
supposedly,
hit JFK and
Connally....
then, the third Warren
Commission-apologists, supposed,
lone-nut shot struck President KENNEDY’s head, doing much more explosive
damage to the president's head and skull, even though his skull bone was much thinner than the harder,
multiple rib and wrist bones in Connally that a nearly pristine “magic bullet” had, all, pulverized into many large and very small pieces.

O'NEILL: . . . . That night we went to Jimmy's for supper. Kenny O'Donnell and his wife, Dave Powers, and his wife, my Millie, Leo Deal, and his wife and Joe Maloney and his wife, and in the conversation we started to talk about what happened down there in Dallas, and Kenny said, “I was in the sixth car with Dave," and he said, “I'll always remember --” he says, “-- there was a bullet came over the fence. A bullet came over the fence," and Dave says, “I'm absolutely agreeing with it.”
I said, “You didn't say that in the Warren Report. You didn't say that in the Warren Report.” I said, “You denied it -- that you said there was only one bullet. He said, “So the F.B.I. came to us, they asked us to tell that story. They didn't want to disrupt the family.” I said. . . .
KING: Now wait a minute; if that's true. . . .
O'NEILL: No, let me tell you the rest of the story…
So Dave said, “Absolutely, a bullet came over the fence. The F.B.I. said to us, ‘No, you heard echoes, there was only one bullet and don't upset the family.’” So he said, “I went and testified.”
I said, “I wouldn't have testified that way in 1 million years! I would have told them what I thought I saw or what I thought I heard.”
Anyway, it gets back -- I'm writing the book again -- and I call Dave on the telephone. I said, “Dave, I'm going to put in my book on the chapter of Kennedy our conversation with Kenny and you, how do you feel about it?”
He said, “Tip, I say the same thing today I said that night that's in polar opposition to what I said to the F.B.I.; no question I heard a bullet shot from the fence…”
KING: Then why don't. . . .
O'NEILL: So from that time on, I always believed that there was a conspiracy. . . .
(CROSSTALK)
O'NEILL: . . . . that there was somebody else, and, as a matter of fact, Congressman Stokes did a pretty good job.
KING: You appointed that committee, right? Stokes headed it. Stokes now has said, “Let's release all the materials…”
O'NEILL: Oh, I'm for that; I'm for that.
KING: Why don't you go see the movie?
O'NEILL: I just -- you know, every time I see on television the President getting hit, I get sick. I had a love and an affection for the man. . . .
KING: So you can't go, emotionally?
O'NEILL: I just -- really, I can't go emotionally.
KING: You believe there was a plot?
O'NEILL: Oh, there's no question that he didn't do it by himself, in my opinion.

And then, I didn't even remember how I got down from that abutment there, but there I was, I guess, and I was walking toward--back toward my office and screaming, "They killed him, they killed him," and the people that I met on the way didn't even know what happened and they kept yelling, "What happened, what happened, what happened?" It seemed that they had heard a shot but they didn't know exactly what had happened as the car sped away, and I kept on just yelling, "They killed him, they killed him, they killed him," and finally got to my office and my secretary--I told her to call the police or the Secret Service--I don't know what she was doing, and that's about all. I was very much upset. Naturally, I couldn't imagine such a thing being done. I just went to my desk and stopped there until the police came and then we were required to get a place to develop the films. I knew I had something, I figured it might be of some help--I didn't know what.
As to what happened--I remember the police were running behind me. There were police running right behind me. Of course, they didn't realize yet, I guess, where the shot came from--that it came from that height.
Mr. LIEBELER: As you were standing on this abutment facing Elm Street, you say the police ran over behind the concrete structure behind you and down the railroad track behind that, is that right?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: After the shots?
Mr. LIEBELER: Yes.
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Yes--after the shots--yes, some of them were motorcycle cops--I guess they left their motorcycles running and they were running right behind me, of course, in the line of the shooting. I guess they thought it came from right behind me.
Mr. LIEBELER: Did you have any impression as to the direction from which these shots came?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: No, I also thought it came from back of me. Of course, you can't tell when something is in line it could come from anywhere, but being I was here and he was hit on this line and he was hit right in the head--I saw it right around here, so it looked like it came from here and it could come from there.
Mr. LIEBELER: All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Well, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER: From the direction behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Yes, actually--I couldn't say what I thought at the moment, where they came from--after the impact of the tragedy was really what I saw and I started and I said--yelling, "They've killed him"--I assumed that they came from there, because as the police started running back of me, it looked like it came from the back of me.

" Based on the statements of these witnesses, if the smoke
they reported was in fact the result of gunfire, it would have
originated in the area of the top of the grassy knoll. There
is no way of determining what type of ammunition was used
in that gunfire, so that is can be stated conclusively whether
the smoke seen by the witnesses is consistent with smoke
produced by the type of ammunition used in any gunfire
from the knoll. Nevertheless, a firearms expert engaged by
the committee explained that irrespective of the exact type
of ammunition used, it would be possible for witnesses to
have seen smoke if a gun had been fired from that area.
According to the expert, both "smokeless" and smoke-
producing ammunition may leave a trace of smoke that
would be visible to the eye in sunlight. That is because
even with smokeless ammunition, when the weapon was fired,
nitrocellulose bases in the powder which are impregnated
with nitroglycerin may give off smoke, albeit less smoke
than black or smoke-producing ammunition. In addition,
residue remaining in the weapon from previous firings, as
well as cleaning solution which might have been used on the
weapon, could cause even more smoke to be discharged in
subsequent firings of the weapon."

Still, just as true, today,
as it was, then . . . .
… despite
what some of the few, fringe,
far-hyper-hate-filled-politico’s, media-philes,
celeb-u-tards, and edu-tard-elitists attempt to spin out as their words-salad,
with our nation and the world at war against fanatically murderous terrorists …
“ We dare not forget today . . . .
that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
Let the word go forth from this time and place,
to friend and foe alike,
that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans,
born in this century,
tempered by war,
disciplined by a hard and bitter peace,
proud of our ancient heritage,
and unwilling to witness, or permit, the slow undoing of
those human rights to which
this nation has always been committed,
and to which we are committed today
at home
and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that
we shall pay any price,
bear any burden,
meet any hardship,
support any friend,
oppose any foe
to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge--and more.”

"Why England Slept" . . . . Search inside President KENNEDY's first published book, published in 1940 when he was still in college. This book is an appraisal of the tragic events and failed appeasements of the thirties that led directly to World War II. It is an account of England's failed appeasements and its un-preparedness for the war thrust upon England by the insane, government-controls-everything, far-left fascist ADOLF HITLER. ....JOHN KENNEDY‘s book is a study of democracy when it is confronted by the murderous, fanatical menaces of far-leftist fascism and government-totalitarianism, exactly the same as many threats that free countries of our world face today from far-leftist radical Muslim Islamo-terrorrists.

On November 24, 1963, Johnson said, "the battle against communism... must be joined... with strength and determination."
(“Vietnam: A History” 1983, p. 339. Before a small group, including Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., the new president also said, "We should stop playing cops and robbers [a reference to Diem's failed leadership] and get back to... winning the war... tell the generals in Saigon that Lyndon Johnson intends to stand by our word...[to] win the contest against the externally directed and supported Communist conspiracy.")
Just one day after President Kennedy is buried, Kennedy's goal via his National Security Action Memorandum # 263 (NSAM 263 on Oct. 11, 1963) of United States disengagement from Vietnam by the end of 1965 was reversed, when Johnson issued his very first via NSAM 273 (Nov. 26, 1963) that, instead, escalated and led to a greatly expanded war.

(QUOTE)
By 1963 Kennedy had become increasingly concerned that Johnson was unfit to assume the only vice-presidential duty that mattered: assuming the presidency. He had made him chairman of the Presidential Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity only to have its members gripe that he showed little leadership. “That man can’t run this committee,” he complained to Bobby. “Can you think of anything more deplorable than him trying to run the United States?” His uneasiness about a Johnson presidency may have also prompted him to ask Charlie Bartlett in September 1963, “How do you think Lyndon would be if I got killed?”
Evelyn Lincoln noticed Johnson’s name appearing less and less often on the lists of invitees to crucial policy meetings in 1963, and her record of the private conferences between him and Kennedy showed them meeting alone for over ten hours in 1961 but only for seventy-five minutes in 1963. By the fall of 1963 their relationship had reached a nadir. An evolving scandal involving the notorious Capitol Hill fixer Bobby Baker threatened to tarnish Johnson, and in the fall of 1963 Johnson had vehemently opposed Kennedy’s decision to sell surplus wheat to the Soviet Union, telling Kennedy aide Ken O’Donnell that it was the worst political mistake Kennedy had made since becoming president, and then adding “Tell him I said that.”
Johnson was noticeably absent when Kennedy convened the first formal meeting of his reelection team on Tuesday November 12. Sorensen thought he had been excluded because he was “not part of the inner circle and did not have the warmest relations with—or full confidence of—everyone in that room.” The next day Kennedy stopped at Lincoln’s desk to chat as she was reading the memorandums from the meeting. She remarked that staging a convention as electrifying as the one in 1960 had been might be difficult because everyone knew what was going to happen. “Oh, I don’t know,” he replied. “There might be a change in the ticket.”

PRESS RELEASE
On November 21, 2015, in Washington DC, a federal lawsuit was filed by Gayle Nix Jackson
against the US Government for the return of a historical film of the John F. Kennedy
Assassination filmed by her grandfather, Dallas native, Orville Nix, on November 22, 1963. The
original Orville Nix film that was last in the possession of the House Select Committee on
Assassinations headed by G. Robert Blakey in 1976 through 1978. According to Mr. Blakey, the
National Archives Regulation Administration should have the film and an index of its chain of
custody. However, in 2015 the NARA denies it received any “original” Nix film from the HSCA
nor does it have a chain of custody of the film. The NARA continues to deny it has it or that it
had anything to do with its disappearance says Ms. Jackson. The NARA believes it is with the
UPI who owned the film for sometime but had given the original film to the HSCA in 1978 for
its investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy. “The cat and mouse game regarding
the whereabouts of the Orville Nix film must come to an end” says attorney Athan Tsimpedes of
Washington, DC. The US Government must return the original film or pay for it. The Warren
Commission stated that the Nix film is almost as important as the famous Zapruder film which
the Government paid 16 Million Dollars for seizing it but has yet to return or pay for the Nix
film says Tsimpedes.
If I can be of further assistance or provide any further information on this matter, I can be
reached on my mobile number at 202-345-4318.

Assassination Cover-Up,

Why the last of the JFK files could embarrass the C.I.A.,
by BRYAN BENDER, 5-25-15
Oswald visited Mexico City in the weeks before the assassination
seeking visas to travel to Cuba and the Soviet Union, which he
was denied. Previous government disclosures have revealed that
while initially the C.I.A. denied any knowledge of Oswald’s
activities, at the time it was monitoring him closely and created
several cover stories to hide what it knew.
Meanwhile, as PBS reported in 2013, “intelligence documents
released in 1999 establish that, after Oswald failed to get the
visas, C.I.A. intercepts showed that someone impersonated Oswald
in phone calls made to the Soviet Embassy and the Cuban
consulate and linked Oswald to a known KGB assassin — Valery
Kostikov — whom the C.I.A. and F.B.I. had been following for over
a year."
A member of the panel that investigated
JFK’s death now worries he was a victim of
a massive cover-up,
by PHILIP SHENON, 2-2-15
"Half a century after the Warren Commission concluded there was no conspiracy in John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the commission’s chief conspiracy hunter believes the investigation was the victim of a 'massive cover-up' to hide evidence that might have shown that Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact part of a conspiracy. In new, exclusive material published today in the paperback edition of a bestselling history of the investigation, retired law professor David Slawson tells how he came to the conclusion, on the basis of long-secret documents and witness statements, that the commission might have gotten it wrong."
. . . . and . . . .
“ ' I now know that Oswald was almost certainlyi not ia lone wolf, ' Slawson says. ”
"The Warren Commission Skeleton" by JOHN HUNT, 12-12-14.... "Whatever else can be said about this most interesting series of photographs, someone at some point after the assassination was allowing for the possibility that the path through JFK’s neck was anatomically upward. This, of course, means conspiracy.” ....
"The Dirty Secret of the Secret Service: President Kennedy Should Have Lived" .... "You see, Blaine, Hill, and their brethren have adopted the blame-the-victim mantra for quite some time, even before their books were even passing thoughts in their long-retired brains. As Mr. Palamara deftly details in his book, this was an institutional cover-up of agency malfeasance and gross negligence (or perhaps worse) that actually has its genesis through the direct actions of one specific agent: Floyd Boring, second in command of the White House Detail and the planner of the Texas trip (from the agency’s perspective, at least). There is no doubt that Mr. Boring told Clint Hill (later LBJ’s #1 agent) and others not to ride on the rear of the presidential limousine right before the start of JFK’s ill-fated Texas tour…and there is also no doubt that the substance of these remarks was, at best, an exaggerated relay of presidential kindness (what Boring conveyed to the ARRB in 1996), or, at worst, a total fabrication with sinister connotations (what Palamara greatly alludes to in his book from many documented sources and former agent statements. Ironically, included in that mountain of evidence are the statements of Mr. Boring himself, who categorically denied that there was ANY truth to the allegation that JFK ever ordered the agents off his limousine!). If that wasn’t enough, President Kennedy was also blamed for the depletion of the motorcycle formation in Dallas (quantity and quality of outriders) that the HSCA deemed was 'uniquely insecure'”. ....
"Was RFK a JFK Conspiracy Theorist? What did the attorney general know, and when did he know it?" What else did Bobby Kennedy know? Last year, the son and namesake of the late Attorney General Robert Kennedy revealed publicly that his father had considered the Warren Commission’s final report, which largely ruled out the possibility of a conspiracy in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, to be a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship.” Robert Jr. said his father suspected that the president had been killed in a conspiracy involving Cuba, the Mafia or even rogue agents of the C.I.A. Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a close friend of the Kennedy family, would disclose years later that he was told by Robert Kennedy in December 1963, a month after the president’s murder, that the former attorney general worried that the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was “part of a larger plot, whether organized by Castro or by gangsters.” Schlesinger said that in 1966, two years after the Warren Commission report, Kennedy was still so suspicious about a conspiracy that he wondered aloud “how long he could continue to avoid comment on the report—it is evident that he believes it is was poor job.”
Newly disclosed documents from the commission, made public on the 50th anniversary of its final report, suggest that the panel missed a chance to get Robert Kennedy to acknowledge publicly what he would later confess to his closest family and friends: that he believed the commission had overlooked evidence that might have pointed to a conspiracy.
"C.I.A. admits undercover officer lived in New Orleans" (9-25-14) "In a court motion filed last week, the C.I.A. acknowledged for the first time that deceased C.I.A. officer George Joannides lived in New Orleans while handling contacts with an anti-Castro student organization whose members had a series of encounters with accused presidential assassin Lee Oswald in August 1963."

audio available for you here concerning the presidential limousine’s Secret Service follow-up car driver, SAMUEL KINNEY, admitting that during the volley’s of Dealey Plaza shots he remembered hearing (or, *could* hear) a shot that was fired from the frontal direction of the grassy knoll and he was then also attracted to first look towards the grassy knoll to see its gun smoke. (as did also a large percentage of close witnesses and weapons-experienced close witnesses remember/could hear at least one shot fired from a location that was separate from the Depository) .... Then, a short time later while Mr. KINNEY was at Parkland Hospital and he was actually cleaning-up the limousine (even though the limousine was a crime scene), he found in the limousine the minorly-deformed, nearly-pristine “magic”-bullet, then, he planted that bullet inside the hospital on a stretcher ....Additional article is available for you here
Author, journalist, JFK assassination researcher, + My Friend JEFFERSON MORLEY, writing about the public program put-on in 2013 by Dallas in Dealey Plaza on the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s elimination, “JFK at 50: a ceremony not sad enough,”........
.... “All of which raised the question, why have this ceremony here?
Why now?
We do not honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King on the
balcony of a Memphis motel on April 4?
We do not celebrate Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theater on April 15?
We celebrate their birthdays, not their place of violent death, and
we celebrate them everywhere.
It was hard to avoid the conclusion that the purpose of the ceremony
was to prevent others from using the place and the occasion to express
disbelief about the official theory of what happened here.
The ceremony’s blandness was born in the contradiction between the
reality of JFK’s death in this spot and the denial of that reality 50 years
later.
The event was neither inspiring nor cathartic, and that was the saddest
