Douglas Horne’s Remarkable New Achievement in JFK Assassination Research
The Future of Freedom Foundation ^ | July 23, 2025 | Jacob G. Hornberger

Posted on 07/25/2025 9:55:28 PM PDT by AJFavish

After I saw Oliver Stone’s movie JFK in 1991, I began reading books on the JFK assassination. As the years went on, I gradually became persuaded that the assassination was actually a highly sophisticated regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, i.e., the Pentagon and the CIA. But I never felt that the evidence was sufficient to persuade me beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard of proof in a criminal case.

Then I read Douglas Horne’s five-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. By the time I finished reading that book, I knew beyond any reasonable doubt that the national-security establishment had orchestrated and carried out the assassination of President Kennedy.

Why was that? Because Horne proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the autopsy that the U.S. military conducted on Kennedy’s body on the very evening of the assassination was fraudulent. Once one comes to that realization, it’s “case closed” on the assassination itself. There is no way around it. That’s because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. It necessarily equates to a cover-up. And the only entity that the U.S. military, which conducted that fraudulent autopsy, would be covering up for would be itself.

There is also the matter of illegally transporting JFK’s body out of Texas to do the fraudulent autopsy. The law at the time made no provision for the autopsy of a former president. Once JFK was dead, he was no longer POTUS, and legally his body couldn’t have been removed from TX unless an autopsy had been done. No federal law provided to the contrary, so TX law prevailed. They ignored the law in TX to get him to the selected autopsy team.

Except RFK also participated in this cover-up via George Burkley and Robert McNamara and other Kennedy insiders present at the autopsy, and he ended up with custody of his brother’s brain. The Kennedy family was in charge of how the autopsy was handled, allegedly following orders JFK had issued in the event of the assassination of a U.S. high public official.

It was JFK who started shipping troops to Vietnam by the many 1000s, why didn’t the military assassinate Truman or Eisenhower who only had some advisors there?

“They ignored the law in TX to get him to the selected autopsy team”

Six years later in Massachusetts the body of a dead young woman would be found in the underwater automobile of Senator Edward Kennedy, the powerful brother of John F Kennedy.

Kennedy escaped the automobile and did not report the underwater car to authorities. He spent the rest of the night on the phone with attorneys and close advisors, none of whom reported the incident. Instead of an autopsy being performed, when the body was discovered, local and state authorities quickly transported the body out of state where the dead woman’s parents refused to have an autopsy performed.

Kennedy continued to serve as a power broker in the Senate until his death, decades later.

Because the military wasn't behind killing JFK. All the evidence since the assassination points to one entity: CIA, CIA, CIA.

You get at a significant point, that Jack Kennedy as a noble martyr was far better for his family's political standing than having his reputation sullied by a comprehensive autopsy that proved various health and conduct issues. This calculation by RFK helped compromise the autopsy and the larger investigation into the assassination.

RFK nevertheless expected to vindicate his brother by winning the Presidency in 1968 and then directing a reinvestigation of the assassination that nailed the conspirators but kept JFK's secrets of Addison's Disease, chronic VD, and illegal amphetamine use.

I was always convinced that the CIA was a rogue agency that was trained to change governments, which they started in South America and then perfected in the US.

So, killing a President in 1963 was NOT a federal crime?

Kennedy was a federal employee.

Kennedy was not a resident of Texas.

Kennedy was being actively protected and assisted by several dozen other federal employees.

Kennedy was actively engaged in meeting and speaking to Texas residents about his federal job when he was murdered.

The motive of the murderer was to remove Kennedy from his federal job.

Why would Texas state law take precedence?

The sources I read said no. The statute was subsequently changed. Check the revisions. JFK, riding down the street in Dallas, was not performing any official duty of the office of POTUS. He was basically a tourist in Dallas.

Why would Texas state law take precedence?

What federal law provides that the body of a dead federal officer should be removed from the place where he died to prevent local officials from conducting an autopsy as required by law? Texas also had a strong legal interest to investigate the crime of murder in that state. What federal law preempts that? What prevented the feds from conducting the autopsy in Texas? When JFK, Jr. died the U.S. military also conducted an autopsy, and he had never been in the U.S. military.

The autopsy isn’t the only clue of Government guilt. That “doctored” Zapruder film is an even bigger telltale sign.

They went through wwii and were spending a lot to develop an arsenal of nuclear weapons against the soviets, plus funding the newely created intel agencies, and in the 50s the soviets took over/helped take over the satellite easter european countries. Further they were involved in Korea so there was war occurring. There was no need to convince them to fund anything, but Eisenhower did warn of the mi complex at the end of his presidency.

All that was happening because it had to, Stalin and Mao, all the European countries Russia had taken during WWII, and Communism ascending, it doesn’t mean they liked JFK getting us into the Vietnam War, besides, since he wanted the war, why kill him instead of the presidents keeping us out of it, Truman and Eisenhower?

JFK had an incredibly long list of enemies—right here at home.

The main problem with the case is there are too many suspects.

Communism was attractive to places like Vietnam trying escape post-war colonialism. JFK understood that. JFK was killed by the elites because they knew LBJ would escalate the war, and he had been positioned as VP to do just that. By November 1983, only JFK stood in the way of the plot to escalate the war. The war was planned, and JFK was in the way of it happening.

There is no way around it. That’s because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy.

First of all, Kennedys body should have stayed in Dallas where the autopsy legally should have been conducted. But Jackie would not leave his body behind and so LBJ ordered the Secret Service to put the body on Air Force 1 and fly it back to Washington. Once there, they took the body to Walter Reed military hospital where a couple of doctors not familiar with forensic procedures preformed the post mortim.

As to what they would “ cover up” I have no idea. The cause of death was pretty obvious.

BTW. I worked with a lawyer who was fresh out of Tulane Law School and working in the New Orleans DAs office when Stones hero, Jim Garrison began his show trial on the JFK assignation. He laughed like hell at that movie and Stone for portraying Garrison as some kind of hero. He said Garrison was a fat, corrupt as hell New Orleans politician who didn’t give a crap about getting to the truth of anything.
