Before I was assigned to Homicide, I had a lot more faith in eye and ear witnesses. Reliance on the Zapruder film reminds me of the Sunday School Teacher who showed us a picture of a large snow-covered mountain and told us you could see a picture of Jesus if you looked carefully enough. Since I'd never seen a picture of Jesus how would I recognize him? Even most cops would not correctly id the location of a shot. John Connolly was actually the best witness there. He was a hunter AND he knew he shot prior to JFK. Perhaps it we could shelve our left or right leaning bias's and leave our egos home might actually come to a resolution to this. My partner and I were considered radicals at Homicide because if our preconceived notions did not pan out. We would start over and approach from a different angle AND sometimes we discovered the truth.

We have to be careful that we don't become victims of our own experience. I attended several hundred autopsies between CSI and two tours in Homicide. I never saw a rifle wound where the exit was smaller than the entrance wound AND the only homicide, I saw with multiple rifle wounds to the head where the features were still recognizable was with a .30 caliber M-1 Carbine which was a much smaller and weaker round than the .30-06 round which was used in the M-1 Garand. But again, a lot is not the same as all.

no, he did not. Our dinner started at 4AM Detroit time and once he found out I was a former Detroit Homicide copper he became a lot more open. He did recognize Johnny Roseli and hinted that Ruby was an untapped gold mine. I had been up for 24 hours + and had a number of meetings at the SHOT Show the next day and I finally apologized and went to bed.

I spent the first 22 years of my life worrying about if people liked me or not. Once I ended that concern, I accomplished much more. Maybe if it was required to check your Ego's at the door, we could finally solve this mystery.

Frankly, I think we need more Salsa and less ego!

calling people silly names often reveals more about the accuser than the accused!

Focusing on personal beliefs that have little or no relevance the subject we should be focused on will just muddy the water. I was born in Salt Lake City, but I promise I'll never send the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to harass you.

When you dismiss information out of hand because you don't like the source you are often are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Let's not forget David Ferry or the alcoholic that worked at 544 Camp Street. I worked a number of informants over my 20 yrs with Detroit and I would have NEVER brought one to my home to meet my family.

They're successfully buried most this for the last 59 years and expecting the govt do anything but launder money thru Ukraine perhaps good nap would help.

So if some ones expresses a view different that your he is "imposing" it on you? I happen to agree with him on this issue but I'm not about to discard it or any other of my beliefs because someone else doesn't like it.

Those with the greatest influence were men like Rather and Conkrite and they were hardly Birchers and where is the Klan and Minute Men today?

When undocumented claims are made against Trump folks are anxious to accept them and no, I do not like Trump. Probably 99.99% of the folks here had never had to protect a source. Twice in Detroit Homicide we sat in a luxury hotel with shotguns and submachine guns guarding someone actually willing to testify against a drug gang. Don't dismiss Tucker Carlson's sources just you don't like him. I never watch him so I don't care if you like him or not, but often in the real world the people with the most valuable info are some of God's most troubling creations!

What member of the right wing had the clout and influence of Walter Cronkite?

None of that inferred with my views. The president of a large plumbing firm will not show up to unplug your toilet. Going up the food chain goes in all sorts of direction. A retired Green Beret Master Breecher told me that was more than one team in Dallas, and they got paid and never fired a shot. All sorts of folks can grab a seat. Hiller Helicopter and Colt firearms made a bazillion dollars off a war that JFK planned to stop. Had dinner with the owner of the Horseshoe Casino in Vegas. His dad, Benny Binion, was a well-known mob guy. He told me his pop told him a number of names of folks he said was involved. I'm convinced from my LE experience that the team on the ground was small and they had learned to depend on each other during ant-Castro events. I especially learned from two separate tours in Detroit Homicide that conspiracies are real and that the benefices are often those who joined up AFTER the murder. Having written three books on wound ballistics I'm working on a couple of others that have nothing to do with JFK. I have satisfied all my questions about this event and simply share what is obvious to me. Others Can and Will disagree and that's fine

That conversation took place shortly after Che' was shot. My CIA friend was in charge of that operation but could not get there in time. He mentioned ONI as covering him in some hot spots in Europe, but I didn't pursue it. He also mentioned the Dept of Agriculture on Guam. Sorry, I did not pursue it though he showed up at lecture I was giving at The US Secret headquarters with Dept of Agriculture id!

anybody know when it will published in the Kindle format? I turned 80 last October and am getting old to lug heavy books around.🤪

money-gobs of money

as a retired Detroit Homicide Sgt, I'm sure I'm right wing BUT just as SOME of the left wander in their own fantasy land I don't label "The Left Wingers" as guilty of anything. We simply ought to treat others as we would like to be treated. JFK was murdered because his continue presidency would have cost others billions!

My only interest in the actual shooters in Dealy Plaza was their background not their names and was told they were Anti-Castro Cubans

No, but I had long conversations with two different Mafia hitman and the owner of the Horseshoe Casino in Vegas.

i did two tours as a Detective Sgt in Detroit Homicide that were interrupted by a year assigned as the firearms instructor for Detroit SWAT. I found at Homicide that knowing who committed the murder was often not a major problem. Finding witnesses was often impossible. RE: JFK I had a conversation with a Vietnam veteran where he served as a Green Beret sniper. He led me to JM Wave and although I've been a published writer since the mid 70's I have no plan to do a JFK. I've satisfied my curiosity and that is enough for me!

Looking too high in the food chain will leave us bewildered. I'm convinced that the plotters were covered by JM Wave.

The shooters have probably all died of natural causes by now. Killing co-conspirators cannot be kept quiet and will certainly discourage likeminded folks in the future. I've been told by a bud who was a Vietnam Green Beret and was in charge of the folks who caught Che' that ONI "hid" a lot of folks.

Larry Hancock's "Tipping Point" included some Bay of Pigs survivors who were not especially concerned about getting away with it. I still sure Oswald was pretty much the patsy he claimed to be AND was silenced because he knew just enough to open doors important and guilty people wanted nailed shut! Larry described a group of folks known as "The Black Crows". I had met a Vietnam era sniper who spoke of a group called "The Black Rose". Close enough for me.

Some of the Agency's Hanger On's thought a stop sign was an indicator of too much government interference. I met and did some training for an outfit run by a retired Green Beret master breacher and his opinion was that JFK was not shot soon enough! There is a whole other world out there! We were doing a class on hostage rescue on school buses with a couple of buds from 22SAS.
