Just another persons experience, to throw into the hopper.

[cgbg]

There is a book written about this guy:

https://www.amazon.com/David-Ferrie-Participant-Anti-Castro-Assassination/dp/1937584542

He was heavily involved with many of the key participants in the assassination.

So bizarre, all the things that were going on down in Florida and the other Gulf states, back at that time. Imagine all the goings-on back in those swamps, in the wee hours of the morning back then.

[Deo volente]

I was convinced Kennedy was shot in the head from the front after listening to Dr. Robert McClelland describe in detail the entrance bullet hole at the top of his forehead near the hairline, and the large exit wound in the right rear skull. He was convinced of this fact and said he would be for the rest of his days.
Dr. McClelland examined the head wound in detail as the other doctors were frantically trying to maintain the president’s heartbeat and respiration.

Was that the character — Ferrie — played by Tommy Lee Jones in Oliver Stone’s movie?

That the media never tells us that Oswald was a communist, lived in Russia, married a Russian wife, that his Communist widow lived in the US until she died just a few years ago, that his children are still alive, that Oswald traveled back and forth between socialist Mexico and communist Cuba, that he was the prime suspect in the failed 1963 assassination attempt against General Edwin Walker who like Trump survived because he unexpectedly (to Oswald) moved his head just as the Carcano fired and that while the bullet fired at Gen. Walker was too badly damaged for ballistics test, it was determined to have been made by the Western Ammunition Company... the same ammo used to kill JFK should be enough to reasonably suspect JFK was killed by a Communist acting independently, or on orders from Havana and/or Moscow.

The character Ferrie was in the movie—I do not recall who played him.

The movie gave a good idea of what a bizarre individual Ferrie was.

Absolutely. Also the ambulance driver, Aubrey Rike, who described what he felt when he put his hand under JFK's head to do the standard lift to transfer a body from one stretcher to another.

The idea that the President's head would have flown backward from a shot that impacted the back of his head is preposterous.

I'm by no means a gunshot expert, but the impact of the bullet to the front of JFK's head is so violent, with brain matter exploding backward and upward, that to my semi-trained eye (I'm an engineer who started out as a physics major, and I do image analysis every day for my work) looks like it could have been an explosive projectile, just as the associate of Lucien Sarti stated.

Wrong.

Thanks for that link.

[fso301]

Wrong.

No. It is perfectly normal that the CIA would be tailing Oswald and even be in direct contact trying to turn him into a double agent.

[Chode]

Joe Peshi...

[Steely Tom]

True. But as I understand it, New Orleans was full of "bizarre individuals" at that time, and probably today too.

John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces is built around that observation. He wrote it during the early sixties (it contains references to a recently-released movie of the Beach Blanket Bingo genre, for example), even though it was published in 1980.

Oswald was an agent recruited and maintained by James Jesus Angleton, the CIA’s Chief of Counterintelligence.

The CIA taught Oswald Russian and then sent him into Russia (along with several other Americans btw) as a spy.

The notion that Oswald was a Communist was the cover story.

I don’t think the Russians bought it—kinda surprising any Americans were fooled either.

One amusing “clue” was that after Oswald was arrested in Dallas he asked for an attorney named Abt.

(Background: Oswald had tried to get his “Fair Play for Cuba” operation approved by the HQ of the Communist Party USA. They laughed at him—Oswald was an obvious agent provocateur.)

Nobody had ever heard of that attorney.

Abt was the in-house attorney for the Communist Party of the USA at the time—and of course would want nothing to do with Oswald.

It was Oswald trying to assure the CIA that he was still on the undercover “team”.

Oswald was not certain he had been set up and betrayed until Ruby’s bullet was heading straight at him.

If you want to read about Oswald from someone who actually knew him well (his mistress) this is the book to read:

WHO had the MOST to GAIN?? LBJ and LADY BIRD!!

[Az Joe]

Hmmmm, maybe the deep state was planning on killing Kennedy, but Oswald got him first totally unrelated/unconnected to their plans.

[Thank You Rush]

That name rings a bell...

There was also a Russian prominent in the stories circulating after the assassination. Can’t remember the name...he lived in Dallas, I believe. Somewhat tied to Oswald’s wife?

[cgbg]

This guy—also a CIA contact:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_de_Mohrenschildt

[Steely Tom]

That's who I was thinking of too, but his name isn't Russian-sounding. He was Russian, however.

[cgbg]

Note that Wikipedia claimed that the Russian guy may have been a double agent.

That would be a classic James Jesus Angleton chess move. If Angleton knew the Russian guy was a double agent then stick him close to Oswald so there is a nice trail leading straight to Moscow if Oswald became a patsy down the road for any future mission.

Angleton was both brilliant and crazy—made schemes that were ridiculously complex because he liked doing it.
