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. ...

Oh, so David Mantik, MD, PhD (physics) is a “proven crackpot”? And just where is the proof, genius? Or did you just make that up to avoid confronting reality? Reality can be tough to deal with, eh?
I’ve wasted more than enough time here with people like you.
"How is it that you come to believe the old canard that Jackie crawled over the trunk in order to retrieve Jack's brain matter?"
"It's not the case."
The bubble-top for the limousine wasn’t bulletproof. It was weatherproof only. I was only used in inclement weather.
They are more comfortable in Alice's Wonderland rather than believing their Camelot President could have been killed by such a nobody.
Before the car turned on to Elm -- the windshield -- bullet resistant glass -- and other 'targets' in the way.
If he had done it when the car was directly below, (fishbowl) he would have had to lean out the window making him a visible target and in a very awkward position.
From his little snipers nest built of boxes of books he had a perfect stand to rest his weapon on and make totally unobstructed shots after the car past.
Go stand in that window some time and you will realize how damn easy those shots were.
Watch the video.
Penn & Teller do forensics. OMG. That is simply insulting.
Interesting theory but the films show the throat shot before the fatal head shot. Kennedy reaches up towards his throat, and then the fatal head shot happens.
That's how history works.
Ruby's actions are even more serendipitous.
It had been well publicized that Oswald was to be transferred to from the police station to the jail at 10:00 AM.
Ruby was home at that time but received a phone call at 10:19 from one of his strippers who needed $25.
So he picks up his little dog and they drive down to the Western Union station to wire the cash. The police station is across the street.
As luck (there you go) would have it, the interrogation etc. of Oswald took way too long and Ruby noticed a crowd outside the entrance.
He is curious...knows the cops....and walks right in.
Being a wannabe wiseguy (who is laughed at be the true wiseguys) he always carries a pistol.
Opportunity knocked....he answered.
No intent....just horrible opportunity.
Penn & Teller do forensics. OMG. That is simply insulting.

Ridiculous answer, did you listen to what they said? Are they claiming to be physicists? Physicists don’t have their own shows, so other people show you what physicists conclusions are about the JFK head shot. See how that works?
Your response is ridiculous, dispute the results, which are indisputable, so you attack the messenger.
Ignoring the information and acting like an a$$ is insulting.
If he knows ANYTHING about physics he would know that from Kennedy’s wounds and head reaction that the shot had to come from behind, or he’s just a profiteer. You use Jim Marrs as a source? LOLOLOL, you’ve got a couple other crackpots on the David Litton, or whatever his name is and some other conspiracy theorist.
Again, what’s your opinion of 9/11, RFK, and MLK?
It seems to me that as the years go by, more and more folks are willing to dismiss the notion that this murder was accomplished by anyone other than Oswald being involved.
That is simply not sensible to me. It does not compute!
The assassination of Oswald which was so transparently a product of more than 1 person and that it is quite infrequently ever delved into should draw attention.
I think that is where one can start an evaluation and work backwards concerning the events of that week end (which I can recall) that so many of us witnessed partially on the TV.
Just before Oswald was being moved in the garage the lights on the station wagon flashed on simultaneously with the second horn beep of same vehicle. The shot that killed Ruby in front of a live camera was almost simultaneous with those go ahead signals. All this while Oswald was in custody at Dallas Police headquarters.
It seems rather simplistic a reason to conclude anything, yet, it is so obvious when one pays attention to it.
JFK was killed, it was a conspiracy, the Zapruder film alone demonstrates it.
Oswald was murdered to cover up the fact that he was indeed just a “patsy” for the masterminds of this American coup.
The sickest part of the entire thing is the cover up by the Warren Commission including Gerald Ford and that POS Arlen Spector with a compliant media.
Here’s my opinion on 9/11, RFK, and MLK: anyone who thinks they have any connection with the JFK assassination is clueless. Really now, please tell me how they are relevant to this discussion, genius. Are you suggesting that, because 9/11 conspiracy “theorists” are wrong, then those who reject the lone-gunman theory must be wrong too? Now, there’s some profound logic, genius.
For the record, I am an engineer and I know that 9/11 “truthers” are every bit as confused as people like you.
Penn & Teller make a living telling and selling jokes.
This video is not a deviation from their regular business.
The insult lays in the fact that for them rebutting conspiracy (in particular the JFK murder) theories is simply just another day at the office for them.
I actually read that entire book, which IIRC was even longer than 675 pages. I didn't think the book was conclusive and now I do not believe in any of the conspiracy theories. But Lifton got one thing right. After using the well-known medical examiner Cyril Wecht as a consultant to examine the Kennedy autopsy X-rays, he correctly questioned Wecht's motivation and skills.
Some of the medical data and procedures discussed by Lifton were also very interesting, even if he drew some wrong conclusions from them.
Yeah....it is a shame. What a trial that would have been!
I made peace with unlikely happenstances (as yes...they happen) many years ago.
I'll give you an example that really drove it home to me.
A few years ago a small airplane got into to trouble here (Atlanta) and had to make an emergency landing. He sees Ga. 400 below him.
Anyone familiar with Ga. 400 knows it is a major artery (many lanes wide) that is ALWAYS heavily trafficked.
The plane has nowhere to go and lands.....right on top of an SUV....killing all within.
Now think about that.
What are the odds?
There you are.... just driving your commute.... and you are killed when a plane drops down on your car!
The odds are astronomical....and yet it happened to these poor souls.
