Dad Knew Who Killed JFK

On April 7, 1964, a 26-year-old detective in the New Orleans Police Department skipped up the steps into the Old Civil Courts building in New Orleans and presented himself to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy.

I’d always known my father had been acquainted with Oswald. They had not only grown up half a block away from each other, but had shared homerooms at school. Sitting alphabetically, my old man Fred sat in front of Oswald for years. O’Sullivan next to Oswald.

Sifting through my Dad’s papers I came upon a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy thanking my father for appearing before the commission. It wasn’t something he spoke of often — just a tidbit of information in a life that went on to greater adventures. ...

Post 88 is a good example of what the last shot would have been like. Entry wounds also create jetting to the rear as well as the front with heavier matter going forward and lighter matter falling further away.

Hunt around. IIRC, a legitimate unlocked version is available.

And why does JFK's head violently lurch to the rear if he was shot from behind? The documentary "experts" say this is possible but I've never been able to understand why.

Two reasons. One is the "jet effect," where the material ejected from the exit wound forces the target toward the shot; the other is that in cases of violent head trauma, the spine goes rigid, forcing the head back.

[Sans-Culotte]

Here she says Jackie says Kennedy’s brains are in her lap.

Now this says nothing about going after parts on the trunk lid but that she thought she was going for help. In an extreme situation, an irrational panic would not be unreasonable.

So she went out on the trunk but perhaps not for body parts.

If you look closely at those frame blow-ups of the Zapruder film, where their faces are touching, or almost touching, imagine the shock and horror at seeing his head explode like that as you are looking him in the eyes! She almost certainly had bits of brain, bone and tissue in her lap. As his dead body slumps, his head is practically in her lap. This is why i think she panicked, tried to get the hell out of there, didn't know what to do, etc. Complete and total shock.

The whole tying it all to certain songs is Bugliosi’s fabrication.

I need to rent FMJ again. I am probably cancelling cable and TV. He is a good actor though. His character was annoying at first in Law & Order but he is very good.

[weegee]

Not going to defend his charge that President Bush is also a murderer?

[The KG9 Kid]

Nooooo... You PRESUME that Jackie was going to retrieve Jack's skull frqagment and use it as evidence that shots came from the front.

Where does the testimony come from to support what Mrs. Kennedy was doing? Who had the crass to ask her? Conspiracists just made it up.

[ReignOfError]

One of the most amazing things about D’Onofrio as an actor is the way he disappears into the character — it’s difficult to recognize him from one role to another. He was also “Edgar,” the bug wearing a human skin, in “Men in Black.”

[Perfesser]

I was in the USAF during the cold war (’59-’63) learning Russian. That’s where the similarities end.

The whole tying it all to certain songs is Bugliosi’s fabrication.

So it was Bugliosi who wrote "Helter Skelter" in blood at the Tate house?

[Pistolshot]

OH, forgot about the route situation.

The planners of the vist to Dallas wanted to go through downtown without the turn by the TSBD. In fact, the turn was put in AFTER they landed as it would be easier to get to the Stemmons Freeway from Elm rather than through Main Street to get to the Convention Center where Kennedy was to deliver a speech. This was totally against SS protocol for no turns at less than 30 mph or greater than 90 degrees.

If you look at the Zapruder film you see people running across the grass to see the motorcade. They were lined up on Main waiting and ran to the other side.

[Polynikes]

One thing I could never figure out about Oswald. He is always touted as an “expert marksman”, could have made the shots from his perch at the schoolbook depository etc. How come he didn't take the shot/shots when the motorcade turned onto N Houston? It would have been a direct “fish in a barrel” shot as Kennedy rolled towards him.

He also worked with a security clearance in the Marines and subscribed to the Communist Party newspaper, The Worker and never was removed or discharged?

Do I think he pulled the trigger? No
Was he part of a larger plot/operation? Probably
I believe he was a unstable loose cannon that was used as a cut-out or fall guy something like Tim Mcvey altho Mcvey was more directly involved in OKC.

[ReignOfError]

Not going to defend his charge that President Bush is also a murderer?

Here's the column. He doesn't come out and call Bush a murderer, but lays out a possible legal rationale for the charge. It's a loopy legal theory, but not a fabrication of events.

[mockingbyrd]

I don’t for a minute believe the conspiracy theory nonsense. I just enjoy the movie JFK for the conspiracy story. To me, it’s a fictional story, that’s told well.

[Pistolshot]

You forgot to mention this.

Kennedy wore this back brace constantly, and had it on in Dallas that day. It made it difficult to sit for prolonged periods, and certainly the stiffness of the metal stays would have made it like a corset. It would have held him upright. He would have slumped forward in the vehicle, not stiffened backwards, except for the brace.

Of course she went back on the trunk. Everyone saw that. She retreived a fragment from her husband’s skull. She still had it in her hand when they arrived at Parkland Hospital.
