Transcript:

James Siebert: They got this sheet unwrapped off the head, there was a big gaping hole in the right rear of the head back here by the cowlick part. And he said in, apparent surgery of the head, in the head area. So, we made notes of this. Gerald Ford had the description of the wound to the back, which actually had entered five and a half inches below the collar, changed to describe it as having entered at the base of the back of the neck. He, he admitted this when the, uh, AARB (sic) people contact him by phone, he admitted that he had made this change. Specter said “Siebert said he didn’t make any notes.” And he said, “O’Neil made just a few and destroyed them.” And when I read that, I could feel the heat coming up on the back of my neck. And I made this statement, and it’s in the record, in the archives: “That’s a false statement.”

THANKS!

Sorry to hear this. I have uploaded a whole bunch of videos from the 1980's-1990's and it is alarming just how many witnesses and authors have left us. Nothing unusual, per se (after all, that is the scheme of life and death), but still eye-opening just how much time is not a friend.

HOST: Let’s go to our final caller with you Alex, first time caller. Hi there.

VELMA: Hello?

HOST: Yeah, go ahead please.

VELMA: Uh, I am, uh, Velma, and I live a hundred miles from Dallas, I was living in Dallas at the time, and I had my car parked behind that Texas Depository book building.

HOST: Yes, Velma.

VELMA: I saw the shooter came out, and he had a very high powered rifle, it was no bolt action. And uh, that…

HOST: Now let me ask you please, because that rifle that they said Oswald used to kill Kennedy was apparently left upstairs...

VELMA: It was.

HOST: And you’re saying, you’re saying you saw someone else...

VELMA: Yes sir.

HOST: ...come out with a high-powered rifle. Okay, tell me what happened then.

VELMA: Okay, I’m sitting in my car, and there’s a grey dove-colored old one-seated Plymouth car sitting there, and there’s a man with a felt hat on with a wide band, and he had on a suit, and he had black hair and real heavy eyebrows, and he had looked at me kinda dirty.  Well about that time a police car come and told this man to move, and he w-, he didn’t move right away. And the police got out of his car, and I know later it was Tippit. And he told him, he said, “I said move that car!” Well then, this man, that’s in this old grey car, he went straight on around and went round this big building that was across the street from me. Tippit went the other way, so they must have made it back there. Anyway, this man…

HOST 2: There were, there were dozens of witnesses that saw…

HOST: Let me, let me ask you this, uh, Alex, because we’re ready to, uh, hit the hour here. Did you say this to the Warren Commission, ma’am, or anybody else?

VELMA: I haven’t told anybody because, uh, I didn’t want...  I had four children, I was havin’, course (unintelligible), and I didn’t want to get shot. And I saw the man, and uh, I could tell you how he’s dressed...

thanks a lot!

Mr. Palamara, thank you for posting  this. For me, this was new information and really educational. Thanks, again.

My pleasure!

The Third Decade conference from 6/28-6/30/91 (my first conference and also my first presentation), in the lead up to the Stone film, was an exciting and amazing event. Authors George Michael Evica and Harry Livingstone get into it here. Harry was a lightning rod for controversy during the whole conference. Other prominent people there were John Davis, Jerry Rose, Peter Whitmey, Bob Cutler, Tony Marsh, Martin Shackelford, etc.

Same here. Was it the same person who chose the motorcade route? 

As I explored in depth in my first book, the Secret Service was ultimately responsible for all of the changes made.

Simply put, this is an instant classic. Truly, this is a superb book in every respect. Frankly, I am surprised no one is discussing it unless I missed the thread.

Baughman's book SECRET SERVICE CHIEF is quite good. I read it when

it came out (it was published in January 1962). It is rather prophetic. The

fact that I had read it was one reason I was not entirely surprised when

Kennedy was shot and saw through some of the lies that were quickly

spewed out that day about what happened. I wrote my short story about

the Kennedy assassination, "The Plot Against a Country," even before

that, in October 1961, for my freshman English class at Marquette

University High School in Milwaukee. I believe I was concerned because of the lack of security

around Kennedy and my concern about the vulnerability I witnessed in him when I met him twice during the

Wisconsin primary campaign in March and April 1960 while working as a volunteer on his campaign and was in close

proximity to him, talking with him on both occasions. And I was a student of the Lincoln

assassination and had visited Ford's Theater in May 1962 but was surprised

to find it closed and gutted at the time, before its restoration. On that visit

I went around the Capitol, including the floor of the House while it was in session and the cloakroom,

with a page boy, who showed me something he said he wasn't supposed to show

people, the catafalque on which Lincoln's coffin had rested. It was in a locked, secluded

room in the Capitol covered with a dusty black sheet. Kennedy's coffin later rested

in state on that same catafalque. Also in May 1962, when I was in the honor guard at a speech

he gave in the Milwaukee Arena, I impulsively said "Hi, Jack!" to him afterward when I pulled

back a curtain behind the presidential podium five feet away from him, and he nodded and smile, then turned and walked

down a ramp into the Lincoln limousine in which he would be killed the following year. My father

at a reception before that event had time to ask Kennedy one question. He asked, "Do you ever

worry about being assassinated?" Kennedy replied that of course he realized that was possible

but that if he thought about it all the time, he couldn't do his job.

Very interesting!!

Wow! 

Great and important post VP.

So much documentation to totally refute any proclamations or excuses that high building open window and roof top placement of security personnel wasn't one of the highest priority security measures during a presidential motorcade and should have been in Dallas on 11,22,1963.

I recall SS agent Clint Hill ( in response to audience questions ) stating in at least two of his filmed interviews in his later days that they ( the SS ) couldn't check every open window along the Dallas parade route through high rise downtown simply because they didn't have the manpower. Next question?

How about ordering every building owner or manager to make sure none of these windows are opened while JFK passed underneath?

At the end of your article montage posted link Vince we see a quote from agent Gerald Blaine stating they ( the SS ) had to "beg" for more security manpower help during the downtown Dallas motorcade trip.

The former Minnesota Supreme Court justice ( who once had words with John Connally) told his friend that JFK's security in Dallas was "lax."

Chief Curry stated before JFK's arrival that the security plans for JFK's trip through Dallas were the most thorough in their history!

Most thorough? 

Countless higher building open windows above the route? No one on rooftops? No one on the ground with binoculars and radios scanning the higher floor open windows as JFK was being driven underneath them? No one stationed behind the 200+foot long, perfect shooting angle and hiding place tree lined picket fence and the pergola structure right above the grassy knoll?

What about the sewer entrance just passed the railroad overpass? Or covering up the sewer connected drain opening along the curb just to the right of JFK's limo on Elm street?

Dallas Sheriff Roger Craig testified that his boss James Eric "Bill" Decker told his men not to participate in the motorcade security in any way.  WHAT? !!!

Did SS pleas for more security manpower help never reach the Dallas Sheriff?

He had enough personnel to significant help the open window, high building roof top security need. And it seemed the DPD had many,many reserve officers available, who were brought in "after" JFK was killed.

There could have been security on every parade route building rooftop.

And who in the advance security planning of JFK's Dallas motorcade team could not notice the Texas School Book Depository building with it unbelievably obvious turkey shoot sniper location situation with all of it's dozens of upper floor windows and roof directly facing JFK's open limo as it came straight toward them down Houston, then with a limo slowing 180 degree turn right below and then a back side vulnerable turkey shoot opportunity for another 400 feet!?

In the least, TXSBD super Roy Truly should have issued an order that no one should be on those upper floors during the passing of the JFK limo and FOR SURE...no open windows! 

It's just seems so simple and obvious to consider these most basic security measures.

And Roy Truly bringing in his latest rifle or rifle acquisitions to the TXSBD to show off to his underling employee buddies just days before 11,22,1963 is just another weird thing, but maybe not in that part of the country?

And never forget the TXSBD building was owned by D.H. Byrd. Texas oil magnate. JFK hater. Close friend of LBJ and responsible for setting up "and funding" the LBJ library at the University of Texas.

The building that allegedly provided Oswald with the perfect and protected sniper's perch location right above a SS regulation violating hairpin turning and slowed JFK limo just happens to be owned by one the richest, most powerful and LBJ promoting, and rabid JFK hating men in the country?

Ah...but the stunning and stark lack of JFK motorcade security ( in a state and city known as one of the most rabid JFK hating in the country" is all just clueless inexperienced unsophisticated good-ole-boy town negligence ... or coincidence?

Just like Lee Harvey Oswald having his guts blown apart from a shot just inches away right inside the DPD building with 70 armed security all around and Oswald being handcuffed to two officers at his side...by a sleasy small time strip club owner who was driven to murderous insanity by his grief for Jackie Kennedy and his need to show that "Jews had guts." And who simply scampered past entrance security and down to within feet of Oswald, all on an incredibly lucky timed spontaneous whim!

Great document linking post VP.

One which exposes the too often accepted lack of JFK Dallas motorcade security excuse given to downplay the truth that it was horrendously ( and rationally suspicious!) negligent.

Oh, and don't forget FBI agent James Hosty ( Assignment Oswald) case officer, blithely, perversely deciding to take his lunch break in a downtown Dallas diner right during JFK's motorcade ride through his highest JFK security primed responsibility turf?

How crazily illogical was that action?

And well known Russia defector and Castro promoting activity background Oswald wasn't once considered as a threat person worth watching while JFK was to pass right under his place of employment? By an agent whose job it was to check the list of such threats?

 

thanks!

The first day accounts, especially first few hours accounts are SO important in a case like this where "outside" influences manipulate not only the evidence and the narrative but also manipulates the recollections of the people giving these accounts that they are so sure about at the time, yet after the "outside" manipulation they begin to doubt what they saw and heard. They see a supposedly unaltered camera original Zapruder film that contradicts what they observed and say to themselves that the camera doesn't lie and they must have just imaged or exaggerated some of the events in their minds due to trauma and stress or something. They see "official" autopsy pics showing no massive wound to the rear of the head and doubt what they saw or try to rationalize it somehow like maybe the pieced the head back together from fragments or something, not wanting to believe their own government would present outright forgeries as fact! Yet SO many firsthand accounts that were ridiculed at the time have been proven as fact in the years since. Just going by memory, Jean Hill I think it was that was saying something about a little dog being in between the President and Jackie and people tried to discredit her every statement from her lying (or embellishing) that fact. How can you believe anything she says? She thought she saw a dog in the limo! But sure enough many years later it was discovered that Jackie was given a stuffed Lamb Chop puppet that she had between them and it looked like a little dog. That's just one instance. There are many more! To me the first day and first few hours accounts need to be considered above all others!

Correct! I never thought that discredited Jean Hill in any event. She may have even mistaken the (non-rose) flowers as a little dog, as celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor and others travelled with a little dog beside them while travelling.
