Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm Joe Marr's the author of Crossfire, the Plot.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
To Kill Kennedy, uh, and I'm here today to tell
you everything you need to know about the JFK assassination.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Over the years, I've been asked by many.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
People, will we ever know the truth about the Kennedy assassination?
I mean, I'm here to tell you, yes, you know
it now, It's just that most people do not want
to deal with it. All Right, What am I talking about.
I'm talking about the coups de'tas of nineteen sixty three. Now,
if you think that's some kind of wild conspiracy theory,
follow me as we go through the factual evidence, much
(01:19):
of which has not been presented to the public, and
let's follow the tracks of this conspiracy. Dallas, Texas in
(01:52):
nineteen sixty three was just an entirely different time and place.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There were still white and colored.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Ressrooms and public buildings and and drinking fountains. It was
very conservative arts conservative. The Adelai Stevenson, ambassador to the
United Nations, had actually been attacked and spit on by
angry crowd in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
They were upset over the United Nations.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It was a hotbed of right wing activity and there
wasn't much going on at night times except for the
two after hours club abes Collie Club and Jack Ruby's
Carousel Club.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Here we see a picture of Jack Ruby's.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Club and a snipe shot made by the club photographer
of a very suspicious looking character dancing with one of
Jack Ruby's strippers, Kathy Kay, on the stage of Jack
Ruby's Club. That was me as a twenty one year
old college student, and it was the place to go,
and it was not like the strip joints of today.
(02:54):
There were strippers, but there were also musicians, live musicians, comics,
ventriloquist It was kind of a last vestige of vaudeville
and it was the place to go after hours. Just
down Commer Street from the Kersel Club was d Lee Plaza,
a triangular shaped park area on the west end of
(03:17):
downtown Dallas where the three main road intersections Main, Commerce,
and Elm come together under a concrete railroad bridge known
as the Triple Underpass, and this, of course was the
scene of the assassination. This photograph made by an Associated
Press photographer James Algans, we can see the motorcade at
(03:37):
the time the shots were being fired looking through the
window of the presidential limousine.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You can see Jackie's white gloved.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Hand on Kennedy's arm as he clutched towards his throat
after being struck by at least one bullet. You notice
his secret service agents on the car back of him.
Only one, Clint Hill, was actually looking at the president.
And Clint Hill was not even supposed to be there originally.
He was added to the secret Service team at the
(04:04):
last minute at the request of Jackie Kennedy, who he
was assigned to. He also noticing while Kennedy's secret servicemen
don't seem to be showing any shock surprise there looking
around like kind of wondering what was that. And yet
on the white car in the background we see the
doors open, and this was the car carrying the secret
(04:25):
servicemen for Lynda Johnson.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
They're already reacting.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You'd also noticed in the doorway of the Texas School
Book Depository the figure of a man wearing a kind
of a dark model shirt with a open to the
navel with a white T shirt on underneath it. Here
we've got a close up of that figure and Lee Harvey.
Oswall's mother always claimed that was Lee Harvey Oswal. Today
(04:50):
there are others who support that claim. However, the official
government investigations have concluded it was actually another depository employee
by the name of Billy Loved Lady. And here we
see a picture of Badley Loved Lady in his broad
checked shirt, and we also see Oswald with his dark
model shirt open to the nable with a white T
shirt on. So it's kind of up to individual interpretations
(05:14):
as to who that might be. Of course, if it
could ever be proven that this was Lee Harvey Oswald,
then he couldn't have been on the sixth floor shooting rifle.
So this is actually kind of an important issue. This
is a photograph taken of the front of the Texas
school Book Depository at the time of the shooting by
James Powell, an Army intelligence agent. And we know he
(05:37):
was there because he made the mistake of going into
the depository building and was caught there when the police
sealed the building off and he had to show his
identification to get out. Now you may be asking yourself
what is an Army intelligence agent doing taking pictures of
the schoolbook Depository before it became prominent in the news.
And it's a very good question, and it's never been answered.
(06:00):
The color photograph Here is a photograph that I made
from the sixth floor of the Scuba Depository, that southeast
corner window before the sixth floor museum was put into place,
so you could actually get to the window. If you
notice it's only about a foot off the floor, you know,
the window is only about half open, and there's two
two inch pipes to the left side of the window,
(06:21):
creating a problem for someone who needs to either kneel
or lay flat and try to aim a rifle off
down the street. But the key problem here is you'll
notice if you can barely see, an overhead highway sign
which is new, is at the location of where the
first shots reached the presidential limousine, And as you can see,
(06:43):
there's a tree intervening in the line of sight. A
tree is an evergreen tree, an oak tree, live oak tree.
It stays evergreen year round, and it was in full
length leaf that day and stays leafing pretty much all year.
Not get a line of sight into the center lane
from that sixth floor window. In nineteen sixty three, to
(07:07):
the right of this picture are two photographs, one of
the WARN Commission showing what they said was the sniper's nest,
how the boxes were arranged, and yet a Dallas News
photograph taken that same day shows a whole different configuration.
All of the evidence is in total disarray. The three
shell cases that were found, according to a news photographer,
(07:31):
one of the police officials took them in his hand,
showed them to the camera, and then just tossed them
back on the floor, So their position being used as
evidence is irrevlent. The same thing with the boxes they
were moved around. In fact, the official photographer for the government,
man by the name of Studebaker, testified that as late
as Monday following the Friday assassination, he was still moving
(07:55):
boxes around and taking different shots up on the sixth floor,
So the physical evidence is already was already in disarray.
In this photograph we see the arras pointing to the
various witnesses to the assassination, and we were more on
them later, but you can see there was not very
many people in the western end of Daley Plaza. This
(08:16):
is kind of interesting, particularly where we see people in
the forest ground moving along the grassy area in the
median of the park. There they were kept away from
this area for some time by a police that said
no one was allowed in that area. And it was
only after the motorcade began to arrive that people filtered
down from Main Street and Commer Street and moved into
(08:39):
that area. And I've often wondered why is it that
they didn't want people standing in that area, because the
whole purpose of the visit was to see and the
President and to welcome him to Dalis. And the only
possible reason I can think of of keeping people off
the south curb of Elm Street was that where someone
(09:00):
knew that bullets might be impacting there, and they didn't
want a Sevillian to be hit by a stray bullet,
which would then cause a more detailed investigation there in Dallas.
Here we see Kennedy approaching the Stevens Freeway sign and
he's waving and everything seems to be okay. As he
passes from view of the camera of Abraham's and Pruder,
(09:22):
he is struck. And this photograph is he emerges from
the sign, you can see he's already clutching towards his throat.
He's been struck by a bullet. He also noticed the circles.
There's a man with an umbrella who begins pumping an umbrella,
and a dark complexed fellow who raises his arm. These
men were perpendicular to the car, and we feel like
(09:44):
that they were.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Signalman.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It was a visual signal to shooters that they could
not tell that the president was dead, and more shots
were called for. In the upper left you can see
the two men with the umbrella at the bottom of
the sign which begins to pump up and down as
Kennedy gets opposite In then these two men, who apparently
were not associated with each other, nevertheless going set down
(10:11):
beside each other on the curb. And in the picture
in the bottom, it certainly appears like the dark complected
man has something under his jacket.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Perhaps a weapon, perhaps something else.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The something else might be a radio because in these pictures,
and keep in mind these are blurry because they're just
in the background of photographs nobody thought to actually take
their pictures. But we see the dark complected man holding
something up to his face and an antenna sticking out
from behind his head, apparently talking on a radio. They
(10:49):
In the bottom left we see him get up and
stick the radio back into his pocket and saunder off
towards the Triple Underpass, while the rest of the crowd
are rushing up the grassy Knoll, where all the people
in that end of the plaza said the shots came from.
Not shown here as the umbrella man who takes one
look at everybody rushing up the knoll and then turns
and walks the other way. Here's a shot about the
(11:31):
time of the fatal headshot. In the red coat is
Gene Hill, a witness, and next to hers Mary Mormon,
who was taking a very crucial photograph right at this moment.
Across the way on the steps of the grassy knoll,
we see Emmett Hudson, the groundskeepers for that area, who
said the shots came from behind him where the police
patrols were, although there were no policemen officially stationed in
(11:56):
that area. Also noticed that the only Secret Service age
and to respond to the shooting was Clint Hill, who
was assigned to Jackie Kennedy and not even supposed to
be on this trip, and he rushes up to get
on the back of the car. This is a frame
from the famous Subpruder film that shows Jackie Kennedy crawling
(12:16):
out on the rear deck of the car.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
There's been a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Misinformation about this action. It's been said she was trying
to escape the shooting and said she was trying to
help Clint Hill.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Get on the car, and none of this is true.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
The truth is based on her testimony as well as
the testimony of a doctor and nurse at Parkland, was
that she crawled on the red deck of the car
under her own volition, reached out and picked up a
piece of the President's head. She still and crawled back
into the car under her own power. Clint Hill was
doing all he could do to hang on to the
car that was beginning to accelerate. She still had this
(12:50):
piece of skull in her hand at Parkland Hospital and
when a doctor approached her, quite pathetically said here will
this help, and offered it to the doctor. Why the
misinformation about this because if she picked up a piece
of his head on the rear deck of the car,
that indicates a shot from the front the Grassy Knoll.
(13:22):
Various people in the motorcade, including John Connley's wife and
Central Ralph Yarborough others, have told me they smell gunpowder
as they pass through the lower end of Daley Plaza
and into the Triple Underpass. Others reported seeing a puff
of white smoke drifting off the grassy knoll behind the
(13:42):
picked fence. The debunkers say, no, that couldn't happen. Modern
rifles don't smoke well they do, especially if they're freshly oiled,
and that there couldn't have been any smoke that day.
And yet here we see a frame from a news
for phographer that clearly shows the puff of smoke drifting
(14:02):
off the grassy knoll. Again, more evidence of a shot
from that direction. At the bottom you see from a
film the number of people that are rushed to the
grassy knoll. Everyone in that end of the plaza said
they believe that's where the shots came from, behind the
picket fence and the grassy knoll. Everything was just chaotic.
(14:23):
People poured back in there and they were all looking around.
Jeane Hill, who was one of the first ones sorted
lead the rush up the grassy Knowles, said she was
looking for someone running with a gun. Instead, she said
all she saw was some policemen and railroad workers, although
there were no policemen officially stationed in that area at
that time. But this crowd of people rushing up to
(14:46):
the back end of the knowle obliterated any potential evidence.
The railroad workers on the bridge said they thought a
shot came from behind the picket fence, and they rushed
around there, said but and they found footprints the fence
with cigarette butts, as though somebody had stood there for
some period of time. But yet most of this got
obliterated when the crowd showed up, and the Warrant Commission,
(15:09):
the government investigations have all just ignored it. Not only
were policemen seen on the grassy knoll, but also men
were encountered in suits and ties who showed Secret Service
identification and identified themselves as Secret Service agents, although there
were none officially stationed. All of the Secret Service agents
(15:30):
were either already at the trademark where Kennedy was to
make a new speech, or traveling in the motorcade. So
who were these men with Secret Service identification that were
good enough to fuel dias police officers. That question has
never been adequately answered. Today we're beginning to see documentaries
(16:12):
that present computer analysis of the Kennedy assassination, and oh
they can prove this, They can prove that thing proved that.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oswald could have been the only loan government.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But let's face it, computer analysis is only as good
as the information that goes into it. It's the old
garbage in garbage out axiom, and unfortunately we've had garbage
in and what am I talking about?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
To have an adequate computer analysis of the Kennedy assassination
would require absolutely correct data from dv plaza, the topography,
the elevations, the distances, and this was done on the
Monday following the Friday assassination. Life Magazine hired Alice survey
(17:00):
or Robert West and his associate Chester Brenneman to take
still frames of each frame of the Bruiter film and
then do survey work in dv plaza measuring all the distances, elevations, etc.
This was done. Both of these men told me they
did not feel like the assassination could have been done
(17:21):
by one man. Later, in the spring of nineteen sixty four,
both men again performed survey work for the Warren Commission,
the government's official investigation, and what they found was pretty amazing.
This is a copy of their original plat map for
dv plaza that was done for the Warren Commission in
the spring of nineteen sixty four, and Chester Brenneman gave
(17:45):
me a copy of it. As you can see, they've
marked a yellow mark on the curb. There were two
yellows swashes on the curb of the suside of Elm Street,
which doesn't make any sense. If it was there to
say no part marking, then the whole curb should have
been painted yellow instead. There were just two little brief
stripes and what happened right in between them the fatal headshot.
(18:09):
Some of the researchers believed these were visual markers to
aid snipers in targeting the president inside of this kill zone.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It was marked on this map.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Further up, we have a something marked that says the.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Area of where a bullet struck the curb.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
They marked this extraneous bullet. They also marked where the
first shots took place and made a note that said
this area hid behind tree for any shot from depository
as of this date, May nineteen sixty four. So the
surveyors clearly showed that the assassination could not have happened
as the government claims with Lee Harvey Oswall three shots
(18:50):
from the school book depository. And yet when the Warren
Commission published this version of the survey map, they had
deleted all of these references suppression of evidence. Worse than that,
we see here that the Warren Commission altered their numbers
of the frame numbers from the Zupruder film. Well, this
throws the whole survey into question. This means that any
(19:13):
computer analysis made from the data presented by the Warren
Commission is not correct, which means it doesn't prove anything.
Lieutenant Jack Rebel was the intelligence officer for the Dallas
Police and according to his testimony, he left the Texas
school Book Depository rode back to the Dallas Police station
(19:36):
with a military intelligence agent, a man from the Office
of Naval According to his testimony, he left the Texas
school Book Depository rode back to the Dallas Police station
with a military intelligence agent, a man from the Office
of Naval Intelligence, and arriving at the police station, he
met with FBI agent James Hosty, who had been in
(19:57):
charge of Oswald's case, telling what he learned from both
these men. But what we do know is he then
went and immediately made out this report, which is a
list of the employees of the Texas school Book Depository.
Heading his list is a Harvey Lee Oswall of six
oh five Elsbeth, now Lee Harvey Oswalll had only lived
(20:19):
at six oh two Elsbeth, and this address could not
be found anywhere on his employment records at the Texas
school Book Depository. He had lived there in the fall
of nineteen sixty two. So where did Jack Revel get
this information? At the time of the House LEC Committee
on Assassinations, they interviewed a Colonel Robert Jones of the
(20:42):
fourth Army Command out of Santonio, and he told that
on the day of the assassination, he got word from
Dallas that they had arrested a suspect and his name
was Alex James Hydell. And he said he went to
the Army military intelligence files and found a Alex James
Dell who crossed reference to a Harvey Lee.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Oswall of six five Elsbeth.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So this was a mistake that had been made in
military intelligence files. And what it tells us is that
it was the US military who tipped off the Dallas
police as to the identity of their suspect. So, about
(21:48):
an hour and a half after the twelve thirty pm
shooting on Friday, November the twenty second, the police got
a call that someone had sneaked into the Texas Theater
out Dallas, and they rushed out there with squad cars,
Assistant District Attorney, FBI people, and even men who identified
themselves as CIA. And we see our first picture of
(22:11):
the key, suspect, Lee Harvey Oswell. So the slightly built
Lee Harvey Oswall was taken into custody and taken to
the Dallas police station. When he arrived at the police station,
he had two sets of identification on him. One said
he was Lee Harvey Oswall, the other said he was
Alex James Haddell, as we can see from this selective
(22:31):
service card, which apparently is some sort of phony document,
because the selective service cards at that time did not
have photographs on them, so this is something that would
put together. The police were saying, well, you know, who
are you, and Oswald was being uncooperative. He said, essentially,
you're the cops, figure it out. But we now know
(22:54):
that at that exact time, less than two hours after
the shooting, FBI Director Jaegger Hoover's on the telephone to
Attorney General Robert Kennedy saying, we have our man in Dallas,
it's Lee Harvey Oswall.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
He's an ex marine, he defected to Russia.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
He's a mean spirited individual in the category of a nut.
So Hoover already had the lone nut scenario worked out
less than two hours after the shooting, at a time
when the Dallas authorities weren't even certain of who they
had in custody. Circumstances can't lie. Circumstances are the circumstances.
(23:29):
And although this is circumstantial evidence, I think it's clear
that somebody in position authority knew more about what was
happening than the Dallas authorities, or the media or the
public at that time. When it comes the idea of
(24:06):
more than one oswaal, you really get.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Into a morass.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And yet there is clear evidence that at the very
least someone was impersonating Lee Harvey Oswall leading up to
the time of the assassination.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
In this document dated June.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Nineteen sixty, this is three years before the assassination, FBI
Director Jagger Hoover was personally aware of Lee Harvey Oswal
and sent this memo to the Security Division of the
State Department, warning that an impostor might be using Oswell's
birth certificate. In other words, someone had substituted themselves for Oswal.
(24:45):
This is very very important. Here we see a compositive
photographs of Oswal. The top four or the first two
or pictures of Oswald about the time he entered the Marines,
the second to p A pictures supposed to be taken
of Oswald and Russia, and the bottom four pictures are
all of the Oswald who returned to the United States.
(25:07):
Two of them are his passport photographs, one his arrest
photograph from New Orleans, and finally the lower right is
his arrest photograph taken in the Dallas police headquarters. As
we can see the bottom four pictures, this fell all
pretty much looks like but the guy on the top
doesn't quite look right. The Warrant Commission published this photograph
(25:31):
of Oswald, and they said taken about the time of
his attempted defection to Russia. As we see, it's really
an odd looking photograph because we see the light source
coming from his right with heavy shadow on the left
side of his face, and yet look behind him on
the wall. His shadow goes to the right, as if
(25:53):
there was a light source from the left. One shoulder
seems broad and the other shoulder is very slopey, and
there's an odd notch in his hairline. The eyebrow, and
the side of his mouth on his right side appears
to be retouched or painted in, and when you draw
a line down through picture, it seems like it's a
(26:17):
composite picture of two separate individuals, Lee Oswall on the right.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And Harvey Oswall on the left.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
This was a common practice among the intelligence operatives to
combine photographs like this so that someone who's impersonating someone
can pass through customs and surveillance and they look pretty
close to the original person. Here again we see evidence
that these photos have been faked of two different people.
(26:47):
We see the Moscow photograph on the right, and on
the left we see the Men's photograph, and we see
the same problem. They seem to be of two separate people,
and yet we can combined we have a person that
looks what likely Oswal at the bottom center. We have
two of the photographs, one when he was in the
Marines and one later in Russia. And when you match
(27:10):
up the eyes and nose and mouth to the proper proportions,
you find one of them is shorter than the other.
And this was confirmed by his medical records in the Marines,
which showed Oswald to be five eleven, and yet at
the autopsy it showed him to be five to nine.
Even his own mother in nineteen sixty seven asked to
have the grave exhumed, questioning marks and scars on the
(27:34):
body and questioning the identity of the person in the grave.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
And she was not the only one. Paul Grudy, who
was the funeral.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Home director who buried Oswald, told me that about a
week after they buried Oswald, the Secret Service representative showed up,
was asking him questions about scars, marks on the body,
and one of them finally commented that we don't know
who we have buried in that grave, so there's considerable
out over the identity of the man identified.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
As Lee Harvey Oswald.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
A cover up of this crime began almost immediately, even
before the echoes of the shots died away. Here we
see the limousine at Parkland Hospital. The top has been
placed back onto the limousine. You see a bucket of
water there They were washing off the seats. They destroyed
this as evidence. It should have been left alone. The
(28:46):
car then was sent on orders of Lyndon Johnson off
to be rebuilt before there was any forensic study made
of the car. It was bulletproof glasses put in and
it was painted black and it is now display in Dearborn, Michigan.
But ironically enough, the new president, Linda Johnson refused to
write in it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
What I consider a smoking gun.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Is the testimony of an FBI fingerprint expert named James C.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Caddigan.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Someone altered this official statement and testimony, and it's interesting
to see why. It also explains why so much of
the evidence is in controversy. In his testimony, James Cadigan
was asked why a exhibit eight twenty was not d silvered.
(29:38):
It's a process for bringing out fingerprints on various things,
and he replied, I could only speculate, and they said yes.
And he went on to say that there all of
the evidence was taken from the Dallas Police the night
of the assassination against the wishes of the Dallas Please.
(30:02):
Captain Fritz, who was in charge of the investigation, said well,
I need to get people to identify the weapons. I
need to talk to people about this evidence, and how
can I do that when you take it away from me?
But they sent it all to Washington, and according to Cadogan,
there was a huge number of higher echelon FBI officials
(30:22):
and security people pouring over this evidence that whole weekend.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Police Chief Curry.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Said that they wanted the evidence up in Washington the laboratory,
and Captain Fritz said, oh, I need to get some
people to try to identify the gun, to try to
identify the pistol on these things.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
If in some Washington how can I do that?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And he said, he said, but somebody in high authority
was requesting this, and we finally agreed as a matter
of trying to cooperate with the federals. Then Chief Curry
said to the Warrant Commission, he says, as far as
I know, we have never received any of that evidence back.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Is still in Washington, I guess. J.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Lee Rankin, the Chief Council of the Warrant Commission, said, yes,
the Commission is still working with it. So the government
kept all the evidence begin with, totally illegally, totally against
all the procedures at that time because there were no
laws of federal laws about assassinating the president. On November
(31:24):
the twenty six, several days after the assassination. There was
a meeting held with the Dallas Police, Dallas County Sheriff's office,
and the FBI, and it was announced that they had
asked the FBI to come into the case. And on
this day, this is when it became the official government evidence.
So what am I saying. I'm saying that the FBI
(31:44):
had all the evidence beginning the night of the assassination
and for three full days before it became the official evidence.
They could have taken anything out. They could have put
any fabricated evidence in. There was no oversight and no
legal chain of of evidence and custody. This is the
(32:04):
cause for the controversy that still rages over the evidence
in the Kenney assassination, and it can all be laid
at the feet of federal officials. All of the evidence
(32:35):
was in the hands of the FBI, with no public oversight,
no chain of evidence. Is only one example of evidence
that was skewed, changed, altered, fabricated. Here we see on
the right the Commission Exhibit two thousand and three of
(32:58):
the Warren Commission, which is the Dial Police evidence sheet.
This is a sheet that listed all the evidence that
they had in the assassination and you'll notice that the
era that they only that it shows three spent rounds
were found. Okay, three shots, three spent rounds, and at
the bottom it's blank there except for the page number.
On the left is the Dillas police evidence sheet as
(33:22):
recovered in Texas, and it shows spent.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Rounds found two.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
They only had two rounds and at the bottom it
says paraffin test made on Oswall was positive on both hands,
negative on the face. As soon as as Oswald arrived
at the police station, they put paraffin on his hands
in face to see if they could detect nitrates or gunpowder.
I have copies of that report and it states that
(33:48):
there were no gunpowder on his hands or face, and
only traces of nitrates on his hands, but none on
his face. This is pretty good evidence that he had
not fired a rifle to that day, because if he
had fired that loose bolt manliquor carcano in five point
six seconds, he would have had to have done it
(34:09):
from a rifle position like this. He couldn't lower. It
had be like this, and he had the cock it
like that to stay within the timeframe, and when he
pulled the bolt back he would have been hit with gases, nitrates,
and gunpowder from that rifle, and yet just less than
two hours after the shooting there was no trace of
that on his cheeks. But again we see in the
(34:33):
evidence sheet presented to the public to the Warrant Commission,
instead of explaining this or explaining why there was no
gunpowder on his face or hands, they simply delete that.
They hide the evidence away from you. Here we see
what appears to be two identical FBI reports. They're both
have the same FOUL number and dated the same date
(34:55):
and signed by the same agent, Vincent Drayne. One says
that the wrapping paper found at the book depository matches
the same paper that they said was used as a
gun case to bring the rifle into the depository by Oswald.
Since Oswald worked at the depository and had access to
(35:15):
the wrapping paper there, this is incriminating evidence to show
that Oswald may have gotten the paper from the depository
is place of work and used it to bring in
the rifle. However, the other document says that the paper
does not match the paper bag that they said contain
the rifle. So now which one of these documents is correct?
(35:37):
Did they say the exact opposite thing. When FBI was
questioned about this back in the nineteen eighties, a spokesman said, well,
the one that says the paper did not match is
a phony document, which leads me to wonder how many
other phony documents are in FBI files. Again, another clear
example of chicanery taking place over the evidence in the
(36:00):
Kennedy assassination. Here we have the evidences presented in the
National Archives of to day, and we find that now
there are three empty shell cases. Dallas police said one
of the police official carried a third cartridge around in
his pocket for a few days, didn't think to turn
in his evidence, and it suddenly turned up days later
after they had decided that the scenario call for three shots.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
You noticed that three of the.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Cartridges here, two empties and one live round have a
dent on the shoulder of the cartridge. This, they said,
was a peculiarity of Oswald's Manukuer carcano rifle. The third
shellcasing that turned up belatedly has no such crimp, indicating
it was never loaded into the Oswal rifle. So we
just see more and more strange inconsistencies in the evidence.
(36:50):
A Ronald Simmons of the Army Ballistic Test Center told
the Warren Commission that they could not sight in the
Oswal rifle using the telescopic sight because it was missile
line and they had to add three metal shims under
the telescopic site to make it accurate enough to test.
The Warrant Commission even graciously showed us photographs of the
(37:12):
three metal shims they had to put in under the
telescopic site to make the Oswald rifle accurate enough to test.
Couldn't have hit anybody with it. This is a photograph
of the of the evidence they had against Oswal, including
up here in a black circle, his Mennox spy camera,
which carried a five digit serial number, which meant it
(37:34):
was not commercially available in the United States. So the
question remains is what intelligence service issued him a small
Minox camera commonly known as a spy camera. In the
lower left hand corner, you notice a photograph of the
back of General Walker's house, who the government says Oswald
(37:55):
took a shot at in the spring of nineteen sixty three.
And you'll know notice that there was a car park
there and although you cannot read it it's very small,
you can see that there was no hold or destruction
to this photograph.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yet when the Warrant Commission.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Published this photograph, somebody had punched a hole in the
license plate so that you couldn't read the license plate
and find out whose car this actually belonged to. And
this hole was punched while this photograph was in official custody.
This is destruction of evidence, and under our legal system
is considered a crime. Probably the strongest piece of evidence
(38:35):
that convicted Oswald in the minds of the public was
the fact that on Monday night after the Friday assassination,
Henry Wade, the District Attorney of Dallas, mentioned to the
news media says, have I said, we found his fingerprints
on the rifle. Well, fingerprints on the rifle. That's pretty
well sensed it in the public's mind. But let's take
(38:56):
a close look at this serious piece of evidence again.
All all of the evidence, including the rifle, was taken
from Dallas the night of the assassination and sent to
Washington and to the FBI the next day. Under this document,
signed by Jagger Hoover himself, it clearly states no latent
prints of value were developed on Oswald's revolver. The cartridge
(39:17):
cases the unfired cartridge, the clip of the rifle, or
the inner parts of the rifle. So, in other words, Saturday,
following the Friday assassination, there were no fingerprints available on
that rifle. On Sunday, the rifle was shipped back to Dallas.
On Monday morning, it was taken by two FBI agents
to the Miller Funeral Home in Fort Worth, where they
(39:38):
were preparing Oswald for burial.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
According to the.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Funeral home director Paul Grudy, who has publicly stated this,
he was there in present when the FBI put Oswald's
dead hand on the rifle. In fact, he told me
he had a hard time getting the fingerprint ink off
of Oswald's dead hand in time for the burial, and
that evening, Henry Wade says, have I mentioned We've got
(40:04):
his fingerprints on the rifle. Again, serious question about so
called hard evidence. Even when it came to the official result,
the government investigation was also skewing the evidence, shading the testimony.
And according to this memorandum from an attorney Albert Jenner
(40:28):
to the chief counsel Jay Lee Rankin, he says, our
depositions and examination of records and other data disclosed that
there are details and mister Eli's memorandum which will require
material alteration and in some instances omission. So they're admitting
(40:49):
here that they're changing, altering things, and that they're leaving
out facts and data about Oswald's background. So much for
a competent, in depth investigation. So with so much evidence missing, altered, changed,
(41:26):
no telling what. Nevertheless, the Warrant Commission concluded that one
shot struck Kennedy in the back of the neck, passed through,
did not strike any bone, went on to strike Governor Connolly,
causing seven wounds. Of these two men removed, the slug
was recovered intact from a stretcher in Parkland Hospital. The
(41:46):
second shot missed, and the third shot struck Kennedy in
the right side of the head, killing him. That was
the official version and actually remains the official version, although
the House Committee in nineteen eighty concluded that there was
at least one shot from the as you know, but
it probably missed. So you can see the confusion now
over what's happening, And this confusion can all be laid
(42:08):
at the feet of federal officials. Kennedy was never shot
in the neck. How can I say that? Well, here
is the official autopsy report, which clearly states a second
wound occurred in the posterior back at about the level
of the third thoracic vertebrate. Well that's below your shoulder blades,
to the right of the baseline. And by the way,
(42:31):
that's signed by doctor George Berkeley, Kennedy's personal physician. Here
on the autopsy face sheet on the left, we see
the bullet mark in the back to the right of
the backbone, below the shoulder blades. But you notice the
bottom left hand portion of this diagram is blank, and
(42:54):
that has allowed them to argue that this is just
a sketch and it's not to scale, and it's not
in proper proportion, and actually the wound was much higher
up on the neck. And yet if to the right
you see the original document and it was marked verified
by his personal physician, doctor George Berkeley. Again more cover
up of important and critical information. The two things they
(43:19):
could not alter or the bullet holes in his jacket
and the bullet hole in his shirt, which are now
still available in the National Archives. And they locate the
woond exactly where the autopsy said third thoracic vertebra below
the shoulder blades to the right of the backbone. Now
I was arguing that, well, he was waving and the
shirt in his coat jacket rolled up, and therefore the
(43:40):
bullet hole was actually much higher than it shows on
the jacket. But hey, the same bullet hole is on
the shirt, and your shirt doesn't rise up no matter
how much you want to raise. So these are all
species arguments trying to explain why there was a bullet
hole in the neck and not in the back. But
(44:02):
to simply go back to some of the testimony of
people who were there, we find that the autopsy doctor
doctor Humes, said a bullethole located below the shoulders, two
inches the right of the midline of the backbone. We
also see from Secret Service agents. Clint Hill said, I
saw an opening of the back about six inches below
(44:22):
the neckline, to the right hand side.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Of the spinal column.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Glenn Bennett, another Secret Service agent, testified, I saw the
shot hit the president about four inches down from the
right shoulder.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
So they all.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Located the wound at the same location as the autopsy
in the back. So please understand Kennedy was never shot
through the neck, and that of course destroys the single
bullet theory, and if the single bullet theory does not
hold up, then the lone assassin theory does not hold up.
So in this diagram, if we take the actual point
(44:58):
of the back wound, third rising vertebra and connected to
the throat room at the Adams Appling front, we've got
an upward trajectory, which makes no sense because supposedly the
assassin was sixty feet in the air shooting downward. Perhaps
this is a new conspiracy theory, the hidden assassin in
(45:21):
the trunk of the car, but I don't think so.
But it just shows the disarray of the evidence in
this case and the fact that none of this is
ever adequately presented to the public. Where did the idea
come from that Kenny was shot through the neck and
on the back. It came from Gerald R. Ford, our
only unelected president. He was appointed vice president by Nixon,
(45:42):
and then when Spuau Agnew resigned under threat of prosecution,
and then when with the promise that when Nixon was
about to be impeached he pardoned of all crimes, Ford,
who was member of the Warren Commission, ordered the authors
(46:05):
of the Warren Commission report to change the wording from
Kennedy was shot in the back to Kennedy was shot
through the neck. This allowed them to argue that Kakamami's
single bullet theory, the foundation of the single bullet theory
(46:31):
is this slug right here Commission Exhibit three ninety nine.
They said this was a slug found on a stretcher
at Parkland Hospital, although they never could nail down whose
stretcher it was. They tried to say it was Governor
Connolly's stretcher, and yet there's evidence to indicate that's not true.
The hospital technician Daryl Tomlinson said, I'm not going to
(46:54):
say it came from that stretcher. In fact, he said
quite the opposite. It seems actually it was planted there.
And who could have planted this slug in Parkland Hospital. Well,
Jack Ruby was seen at Parkland Hospital about one o'clock
that afternoon of the shooting and going into the hospital
carrying television equipment. So it's entirely possible that Jack Ruby
(47:16):
played a role in all of this, even before he
shot Oswald. In this news clipping, we see that John
Connolly's doctor clearly stated that he was not struck by
the same bullet that hit President Kennedy. But the real
proof came in this X ray of Governor Connolly's wrist.
And as you can see, there's more bright bits of
(47:36):
metal that stayed in Connolly's wrist than are missing from
the bullet that the government says caused the wound. That's
how ridiculous some of this so called evidence is. So.
What we have here, then, is the theory that one shot,
coming from sixty feet in the air, struck Kennedy in
(47:56):
the back third thrasic Berberg didn't hit a bone, but
somehow coursed upwards through his body, exited out his throat,
somehow twisted around in mid air, came back down, struck
Conley near the right armpit, shattered his fifth rib, came
out the front of his chest, shattered his right wrist,
and lended up in his left legs. Impossible, it didn't happen,
(48:23):
but you're expected to believe it happened. And they've got
experts who will tell you how many angels dance on
the head of it. I mean, how many shots could
actually do this. This is a transcription of the Warren
Commission meeting for January the twenty seventh, nineteen sixty four,
there were just beginning their investigation, and yet even at
(48:45):
this early date they knew that this single bullet theory
did not work. Here we see that their own Chief Council,
Jay Lee Rankin, as he ruminates and says, well, it
seems quite apparent now since we have a picture of
where the bullet in the back, that the bullet entered
below the shoulder blade to the right of the backbone,
which is below the place where the picture shows the
(49:06):
bullet came out the neck band the shirt in front,
and that bullet, according to the autopsy, didn't strike any
bone at all, that particular bullet and go through. So
how it could turn And he suddenly realizes, he's saying,
how could turn him tot there and go strike Conley?
And he realized it doesn't work, so he stops, and
that's the end of that. They knew better, but still
(49:27):
they came out and lied to the American people and
told them that this one bullet passed through Kennedy's neck
caused all the wounds. It's a fairy tale. Here we
see former Senator Arlen Spector, who in nineteen sixty four
was a young attorney for the Warrant Commission and came
up with this single bullet theory. And here he is
(49:50):
demonstrating how the bullet went through Kennedy's neck and struck
Conley in front. It seems fairly reasonable until you actually
look closely. You'll see in the red circle marked with
chalk on the back of this fellow, and you'll see
that he has to hold his straight edge about six
inches above the shoulder to make it line up with Conley.
(50:12):
It just didn't work. It didn't work the end, It
doesn't work now, But nevertheless they say, well that's what happened.
Further evidence of manipulation and obfuscation of the evidence comes
in the medical evidence. Here we see testimony from all
the medical people in Dallas, all said Kennedy suffered a
(50:35):
gaping wound in the right rear portion of his head.
This would indicate a shot from the front and blowing
out the right rear portion of his head. At the
time of the House let Committee on Assassinations, they showed
us a drawing, reportedly of the autopsy photograph, and we
see that the back of his head seems to be
perfectly intact, but we do see as small what appears
(50:58):
to be a hole up there, and they said this
was the entrance wound, coming from the rear of his head.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
And yet a few years later.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
When the autopsy photographs themselves became publicly available, we find
that there is no hole back there, only what appears
perhaps to be a little splotch of dried blood, and
there's even hairs growing through it. So again there was
lies in the seat. With the medical evidence. Again, the
(51:28):
drawings that the House Committee showed us shows this bullet hole.
Now it's not in the neck, and it's not in
the back, it's kind of on the shoulder, and it
is not consistent at all with the bullet hole in
the jacket.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
So it's nothing but lies in the seat.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Most telling of all is this story, which got very
little play in the mass media. Here we see Gerald Custer,
who was the X ray technician who took the X
rays of Kennedy at the autopsy.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
So at this same news conference was Floyd.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Reebe, the photographer who took the autopsy photographs.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
And both of these men.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Today say that the X rays and the photographs being
shown to the public and being kept in the National
Archives are not the ones they took. So we have
again manipulation obfuscation of the evidence at the federal level.
Here we see what purports to be an X ray
of Kennedy's skull, and it's as you can see, the
(52:29):
whole front right portion of his head seems to be missing,
and yet in this autopsy photograph we plainly see that
his forward is perfectly intact. Joel Custer, the man who
took the original X rays, said that there was no
damage to his face, no part of his skull was missing.
These are fake X rays. So we've got fake X
(52:50):
rays and fake photographs now resting in the government archives.
Does this explain why there is so much controversy over
the Kennedy assassination? But there was not very much controversy
in nineteen sixty four, particularly after this February, the twenty
first edition of Life magazine, which everybody in the country saw.
(53:11):
And we've got a backyard photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald
holding a communist newspaper and a rifle pistol on his belt,
and the headline says Lee Oswald with the weapons he
used to kill President Kennedy. Officer Tivot. Now, this was
published months before the Warren Commission came out from behind
closed doors and concluded that Oswald was probably the lone assassin.
(53:36):
This is convicting someone even before they get a fair hearing.
But it certainly seemented the idea that Oswald was the
killer in the minds of the American public. But was
the backyard photograph legitimate? Right there in the Warren Report,
Captain Fritz tells that Oswald was shown a picture of
(54:00):
him holding a rifle and wearing a pistol, and he
says this picture had been a large by our crime
lab from a fixture found in the garage at missus
Payne's house. He, meaning Oswald, said the picture was not his,
that the face was his face, but this picture was
made by someone superimposing his face. The other part of
the picture was not him at all, and he had
never seen the picture before.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
A phony picture, a composite picture.
Speaker 2 (54:25):
Could this be true? Well, we take the two known
examples of the backyard photograph and we turn them into
a color transparency, one red and one blue. And these
are supposedly two separate photographs made with a handheld camera.
Nothing should match. And yet when you blow him up
(54:48):
to the same proportion, lay one on top of the other,
you can see that Oswald's face is an exact match
on both photographs. This is an impossibility unless exactly as
he said, it's a composite photograph with one picture of
his face pasted over someone else's body.
Speaker 1 (55:07):
Is there even more evidence of this?
Speaker 2 (55:09):
Yes, Here we see on either side the backyard photograph,
which is essentially the same picture of Oswald's face, only
done to a different, slightly different angle, and someone has
retouched the mouth slightly. But you can see that there
is a line running from the one corner of his
(55:29):
neck to the other corner of his neck, and we
see a broad, flat chin. And yet in the center
we have Oswald's police mugshot, which shows that Oswald had
a little pointy cliff chin.
Speaker 1 (55:42):
More evidence that this.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
Was a fabricated photograph intended to implicate Oswald. But did
the federal authorities at that time realize that this photograph
there was something funny going on here? And I submit
to you yes they did.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (55:59):
The extreme right is a third backyard photograph that turned
up fifteen years after the assassination in the hands of
a Dallas policeman's widow, and she said her husband the
policeman said, hang on to this, it'll be worth something someday.
And we see that this pose is holding a rifle
in the left hand, holding the paper up in the
right hand. And yet the Warrant Commission Exhibit three seventy
(56:22):
thirty seven shows a fellow officer posing in the pose
of the third photograph, the one that was never accounted
for and never explained and never seen for fifteen years.
This is suppression of evidence, again a criminal offense. I
make mention of these stills from the Supruter film for
(56:46):
a couple of reasons. Number one, on frame two fifty seven,
we can see what the back of Kennedy's head should
look like with normal shadowing. And then on frame three
seventeen we find what eleven Hollywood XPS birds have said
was a painted on black spotch on the back of
his head. This is to cover up the massive exit
(57:07):
wound on the rear of his head, indicating a shot
from the right front. This is tampering with the evidence
and with the basic evidence. With the Zapruter film, which
has been called probably the best piece of evidence in
the case. The lower center, we have a blow up
of three fourteen the frame three fourteen, which clearly shows
(57:29):
the driver Grier, turning to look back over his right shoulder,
but his hand remains on the steering wheel. What some
people have said is a gun is actually just the
sunlight reflecting off of Kellerman's greased hair, because in the
nineteen sixties men were still wearing hair grease, all right,
And so I would like to put the rest the
(57:50):
story that the driver shot Kennedy simply didn't happen, although
there is some question as to the activities of the
Secret Service, because we've seen they were very slow to react,
having stayed up drinking the night before at the Cellar
Club in fort Worth, and the driver, Greer, who was
the oldest man on the Secret Service detail, testified that
(58:12):
he never looked around, didn't even know the assassination had
taken place until Roy Kellerman, next to him said we're hit.
Get us out of here, and he stepped on the
gas and accelerated out of DV plaza. But this can
be seen plainly he did turn and looked back at
Kennedy at the time of the fatal headshot. The brake
lights come on, the car slowed down, Kenny was shot
in the head and then the car accelerated forward. Here
(58:37):
we see a polaroid snapshot made by bystander Mary Mormon,
right about the time of the fatal headshot. In the
upper right hand corner we can see Abraham Supruter and
his receptionist Marilyn Sisman making his famous film. And then
we can see Kennedy slumped in the car with Jackie
kind of bending over him. But in the back, behind
(59:00):
the picket fence, behind the concrete wall, we see this
figure of a man and has not been doctored, has
not been photoshopped, has not been tampered with. This is
strictly a blow up of the image in the background,
and a similar polaroid camera has been tested and it
is found that they do have sharp enough detail and
focus to get a picture like this. And what we
(59:23):
see is this blow up which clearly shows a man.
You can see his two eyes, his hairline.
Speaker 1 (59:32):
Right his left ear.
Speaker 2 (59:35):
You can see a white flash in front of his face,
either smoke or flash from or gun, and his arms
are in the classic rifle holding position. And he's wearing
a dark shirt with a similar semicircular patch on the
left shoulder and a bright object on his chest which
by computer analysis has shown to be muddle. Here on
(59:58):
the right is the blow up the figure that has
come to be known as the Badgeman. Next to that
we can see a Dallas police uniform with a semicircular
patch on the left arm and the badge on the
right chest. And then we at the extreme left you
can see an artist representation of what you're seeing here,
the Badgeman photograph. So now we have a photograph of
(01:00:22):
man firing a weapon from behind the fence on the
grassy knoll. The HOUSELEC Committee assassinations finally concluded that there
was a conspiracy because at least one shot came from
behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll, and based
on two separate sets of acoustical scientists who used sound
signatures to identify the grassy knoll as a place for
(01:00:45):
one of the shots. Now, if this was any other
case other than the Kennedy assassination, and I tried to
tell you that we have a photograph of man firing
from behind the fence on the Grassynle. We have the
majority of witnesses in that area saying a shot came
from behind the fence on the grassy noll. We got
a picture of smoke drifting out from behind the fence
on the grassy knoll, and we got acoustical studies pinpointing
(01:01:09):
behind the fence on the grassy knoll as a source
for the at least one shot. Then if I try
to tell you there was nobody there, you would think
I was an absolute fool. And yet this is the
Kenny assassination, and there are still people who seriously argue
there was nobody behind the pig of fence on the
Grassy knoll. So what we see is that there has
(01:01:52):
been a tremendous cover up at the level of the federal.
Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
Government of the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
And cover up this suppression of evidence, destruction of evidence,
fabrication of evidence, alteration of evidence, intimidation of witnesses. These
are all crimes in connection with the capital murder, and
they all were committed at the level of the federal government.
This is what transforms what at that time was nothing
but another Texas homicide to a national coup d'etis. Now,
(01:02:24):
why would they want to get rid of the chief
executive because John F. Kennedy was shaking up the status quo.
Let's go back and look at some of the things
that he was doing. To begin with, he forced the
steel manufacturers to roll back their price increases that they
promised they were not going to do, and they did anyway,
(01:02:46):
And he went on television and said this is not right,
and the public got with him and they forced the
steel manufacturers rolled back their prices. His brother, Attorney General
Robert Kennedy, was prosecuting organized crime is never before since.
In fact, on the morning of the assassination, he met
with his Organized Crime task Force, and then about noontime,
(01:03:07):
of course, his brother was killed and the task force
never met again. President Kennedy also was trying to put
a stop to the CIA and the military making raids
on Cuba. After the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, they
will continued to push for another invasion of Cuba. In fact,
in the spring of nineteen sixty two, the Joint Chiefs
(01:03:31):
of Staff approved a plan called Operation Northwoods, and this
horrendous plan called for assassinating American citizens in some of
our cities, setting off bombs in major American cities, hijacking
planes and ships, and blaming it all on Castro so
they could stir up support for another invasion of Cuba.
(01:03:54):
They probably the ranking officials of the CIA, the military.
They did not realize that there had been secret agreements made.
At the time of the Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy and
Khrushchef worked out a deal where Khrushchef agreed to withdraw
the offensive missiles from Cuba. In exchange, we agreed to
withdraw our offensive missiles from Turkey and pledged that we
(01:04:18):
would not invade or support a military invasion of Cuba,
which we have not. But a lot of the lower
echelon people were not aware of these agreements, and so
they were still pushing for an invasion of Cuba. Kennedy
and Khrushchef were also reaching agreements on above a ban
(01:04:40):
on above ground nuclear testing they put in the hotline
to Moscow. They were actually working to try to end
the Cold War, which did not set well with the
military bases in either country. Kennedy may have also sealed
his fate when he talked about doing away with the
old depletion allowance, which was a the bedrock of Texas
(01:05:01):
oil money. Got all the oil and gas people mad
at him. The mafia is mad at him, the military's
mad adding and then in the summer of nineteen sixty three,
he ordered four point two billion dollars of interest free
money issued through the Treasury Department, not the interest bearing
(01:05:22):
Federal Reserve System, thus becoming the second president in American
history to try to issue money that was free of
interest from the international bankers, the first president being Abraham Lincoln,
who printed his own greenbacks to finance the war between
the States, and I, for one, do not feel like
(01:05:43):
that it was just sheer coincidence that both of those
presidents were shot in the head in public. This is
a five dollar bill series nineteen sixty three, and you
notice it says United States note and has red ink
on it. This was part of the money that Kennedy
issued that was interest free because it was issued to
the Treasury Department, not the Federal Reserve System. One thing
(01:06:06):
that definitely changed with the death of John F. Kennedy
was our involvement in Vietnam. Here we see National Security
Action Memorandum number two sixty three, issued on October the eleventh,
nineteen sixty three, just about a week after the DM
brothers were killed and the Vietnam struggle was beginning to
reach a turning point. In This document says the President
(01:06:30):
approved the military recommendations contained in the report of McNamara
and Maxwell Taylor, who had gone to report on the
situation Vietnam, and they reported that they thought we had
a handle on the situation and that we might be
able to withdraw all troops by the end of nineteen
sixty five. President approved this, and then, according to this
(01:06:53):
directed no formal announcement be made but to withdraw one
thousand US military personnel by the end of nineteen sixty three.
So Kennedy was going to disengage US from Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
No Vietnam War with the attendant.
Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Raping of our budget, the conflict between the generations, the
fifty eight thousand deaths, the people who were Maine, the
families that were toned apart. None of that would have
happened if Kennedy had lived, but there were people who
wanted that war. Just three days after his assassination, then
(01:07:31):
President Lyndon Johnson issued this National Security Action Memorandum number
two seventy three, And although it starts off saying the
objectives of the United States with respect to the withdrawal
of US military personnel remain as stated in the White
House statement of October. The second says it's everything's going
(01:07:52):
to stay the same. Here, under item six, we find
programs of military and economic assistance should be maintained at
such levels that their magnitude and effectiveness in the eyes
of the Vietnam government do not fall below the levels
sustained by the United States at the time of the
DM government. Well, this is a convoluted way of saying,
(01:08:13):
we're not going to drop the financial of the military
aid to South Vietnam. So, in other words, this stopped
these pullout orders. The thousand men that Kennedy said he
was going to withdraw did not withdraw. The document goes
on to state the plausibility of denial that they could
deny what was really going on damage to North Vietnam.
(01:08:33):
We're going to start bombing the North. We're going to
widen the war and even spread to drawing up plans
against layoffs. Okay, it's really fascinating. But the most fascinating
thing appears here in this document, which was taken from
the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas. This is the draft
(01:08:56):
of Johnson's National Security Action Memorandum to seventy three, which
blocked Kennedy's pullout order and set us on a course
for full time involvement in Vietnam. And what you notice
is is that this draft was written on November the
twenty first, nineteen sixty three, the day before Kennedy went
(01:09:18):
to Dallas and was assassinated. Somebody knew the day before
that he wasn't going to be there to implement his
pullout orders in Vietnam, and instead we were going to
be launching a full bore effort for war in Southeast Asia.
(01:09:53):
One final piece of evidence has to do with President
Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln. She was at his elbow
almost day and night. If there was anyone who knew
what his real thoughts were, what was really going on
within the government, it was probably Evelyn Lincoln. And yet
I doubt any of us have ever seen an interview
(01:10:16):
with Evelyn Lincoln. Why not was that? Was she not
talk to anyone? No, here's a letter from nineteen ninety
four where Evelyn Lincoln states, as far as the assassination
is concerned, it's my belief that there was a conspiracy
because there were those who disliked him and felt the
only way to get rid of him was to assassinate him.
(01:10:37):
These five conspirators, in my opinion, were Lended B. Johnson,
Jegger Hoover, the MAFI, the CIA, and the Cubans in Florida.
Very good guess, Evelyn, she knew what was happening, and
it's time the American public knew.
Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
John J.
Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
McCloy was former CEO of National City Bank which is
now City Corp. During the nineteen thirties, presided over a
lot of loans to the Nazis in Germany. At the
end of the war, he was made High Commissioner of
Germany and shipped a lot of Unrepentan Nazis over to
this country where his protege, Alan Dulles was head of CIA,
(01:11:16):
and whitewashed their Nazi backgrounds. And then John J. McCloy
ended up sitting on the Warren Commission to determine what
happened to President Kennedy. While serving on that commission, he
stated it was of paramount importance to show the world
that America is not a banana republic where a government
can be changed by conspiracy, and that was their objective
(01:11:40):
is to try to scotch any talk of conspiracy and
that's been going on to this very day. And there
are still those in the status quo establishment who do
not want to mention the coup of nineteen sixty three.
But unfortunately, my fellow Americans, America is just another banana
republic because in November nineteen sixty three, our nation and
(01:12:04):
our future was altered by a murderous conspiracy accomplished at
the highest levels of the federal government of the United States.
And that's all you need to know about the Kennedy assassination.
As you can see, the evidence for a conspiracy at
(01:12:26):
the highest levels of the federal government of the United
States is quite compelling, if not overwhelming. In fact, if
you want to name two people who could be considered guilty,
it would be Lyndon Johnson and his next door neighbor
and old buddy jaed Go Hoover, head of the FBI.
How can I say that, Can I prove that they
ordered the assassination? No, But what I can prove beyond
(01:12:48):
any reasonable shadow of a doubt is that these two
men took steps to confuse, confound and block any legitimate
investigation into Kennedy's death. Our legal system that makes them
accessories after the fact, and there have been people executed
for murder who, the facts of the K Show, did
(01:13:09):
not pull the trigger, were not the killers, but they
were there, They had knowledge of the crime, and they
didn't report it. They didn't turn in the true culprits,
and therefore they were assessories after the fact and are
considered under our legal system as guilty as the person
who pulls the trigger. And under that criteria, Lyndon Johnson
and Jagger Hoover are guilty.
Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
But they didn't act alone. There was a whole raft.
Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Of Americans who had no direct connection to the assassination.
But the end result the elimination of John F. Kennedy
and his policies to curtail the power of the banks
and the corporations and the military industrial complex and to
try to bring the United States into a more peaceful
and progressive country. They couldn't stand the idea, and they
(01:14:00):
felt like the only right way they could protect the
country was to get rid of the leader. And therefore,
as we see, and much to the chagrin of John J. McCloy,
America is simply another banana republic.
