See the whole article. It includes the original story.

Several years after the day, Look or Post Mag. ran some "never before released" pics. It was very clear that many of the crowd were pointing toward the knoll. Cops were hurrying in it's direction.

A recent ABC News poll indicates 70 percent of Americans believe JKF's assassination was a plot.

I wonder how many of them those 70% base that belief on the facts or the myths that have entered into the assassination over the last 40 years.

Here's the original article about the incident.

MINUTES BEFORE TRAGEDY COUNTY CALLER PREDICTS DEATH

A whispered warning from an Oxnard area telephone predicted President John F. Kennedy would be killed only moments before he was shot in downtown Dallas yesterday.

A woman’s voice whispered to two General Telephone Co. operator supervisors about 10:05 a.m.: "The President will be killed at 10 minutes after 10."

Moments later the same voice told the supervisors, "It won’t be 10 after 10, it will be 10:30."

Then word came to the Oxnard telephone office that the president had been shot.

Ray Sheehan, Oxnard division manager for the company said today the call came to the office switchboard like a regular toll call. One of the supervisors could not make out what the woman was saying and called the other supervisor onto the line to try to help.

Sheehan said the woman spoke aloud only once when one of the supervisors said she was the operator and asked if she could help place the cell. The woman said aloud, "I’m using the line" and then began whispering again.

Sheehan, who declined to identify the supervisors who received the call, said there was no undue concern about the warning because the company operators receive numerous abnormal calls similar to this one.

"We get many more calls like this than most people would recognize; the misuse of the telephone is scarey (sic) sometimes," Sheehan said.

Sheehan said when the call first came in the whispering was so faint the operator couldn’t make out what was being said. "We thought someone was in trouble and kept pumping her," he explained.

The call had to come from Oxnard, Port Hueneme or Point Mugu, the general service area of the Oxnard office, Sheehan said.

I used to be
into the whole lone killer/conspiracy theory thing. Then one day I realized something; if there was a lone assassin he's dead, killed by Jack Ruby. If there was an elaborate plot to assassinate Kennedy almost all of the people who would have had the power and/or ability to act on such a plot are dead (or Castro).
Most likely, we'll never know. And in the grander scheme of things, it doesn't matter whether Oswald did it or not.

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?....

Bump for later
