  1. Who was Bob Clark? Magnificent work? They failed to protect the President in the absolute worst case scenario way - his death. Then, less than 48 hours later, they failed in their security of the most important criminal suspect in their history ( Lee Harvey Oswald ) and probably the entire country's. Again in the worst case scenario way - his death. Oswald's murder while in their handcuffed to two guards custody is surely one of the most epically shameful episodes of police security responsibility failure ever.
  2. Rapheal Cruz Jr and other Republicans are saying in Trump's defense that every Senator (Democrat or Republican) has told their voting base at one time or another to "fight" in their campaign rally speeches. That Trump wasn't doing anything different with his shouted 20X repeated fight exhortation to his already worked up war party crowd on January 6th before they charged off in a fired up frenzy, whooping and hollering fight ( and even kill ) slogans on their way to their Trump directed "Stop The Steal" battlefield destination. Then Trump retreated to his safe confines to watch the raging wild insurrection melee himself live on TV and didn't order any national guard police help for the next 2 and 1/2 hours? Here's the outrageous criminal difference between other Senators using the word "fight" in their campaign rally speeches and Trump using it to rile up and direct his armed and enraged MAGA mob: No senator has ever directed their rally supporters ( if he or she knew or even thought they were raging angry and armed in many different ways ) to go to a specific and highest security importance government location in the middle of a highest importance session of highest importance vote certification to "Stop The Steal," " don't be weak," "let Pence know to do the right thing," "we can't lose the country," "fight, fight like hell? etc., etc.. And no Senator could watch his war attack rally crowd storming the most sacred American Democracy landmark building during such a hightened security important vote time and watch the super violent, injurious, property smashing traumatic terror being unleashed which was being broadcast live to the entire country on national TV and do or say "nothing" to stop the mob attack ... for 2 and 1/2 hours !!! ??? No Senator could even imagine or would ever condone their rally crowds going smashing, injury and even murder minded crazy like this after they happened to say to them "fight" in a campaign rally speech. And imagine anyone ( especially an officer of the law of which the President in fact is ) standing by and watching thugs beating and traumatizing innocent victims and even their fellow overwhelmed police officers and smashing government property and doing this for 2 and 1/2 hours before they finally radio in a call for back up help to stop it? That's mind boggling criminally negligent. And that's what Trump did! This Republican "Fight Like Hell" mob incitement and dereliction of help providing Presidential duty Trump defense ( all Senators tell their bases to "fight") is so illogically weak and irresponsibly wrong in down playing Trump's unprecedented outrageous constitutional oath and duty violating actions it's another "aiding and abetting" crime imo. And when Senator Raphael Cruz runs into the Trump attorney's private room during a break in their trial presentation...isn't this an outrageous breach of the "impartial jury" edicts of the impeachment rules? Imagine a jury member running into a prosecution or defense legal team's private meeting room during a break in a criminal or civil trial proceeding? What the heck reason could Raphael Cruz give for doing this crazy non-impartial stunt? Offering them some breath mints?
  3. Dennis David stated JFK's casket was delivered in a "black Hearse." Commander James Humes stated in his ARRB testimony that JFK's casket was delivered in a "grey ambulance." The AF1 Tapes and Subsequent Events at Andrews AFB on November 22, 1963 by Douglas Horne July 8, 2013 At my request, a friend of mine, psychologist Steven Kossor of Pennsylvania, recently used the sophisticated audio equipment he employs in his hobby as an audiophile to create an enhanced excerpt for me of the key passages in the Clifton version of the “Air Force One Tapes” (the GPO/NARA version released to the public in 2012, based on the Clifton version of the AF1 conversations, which is about 27 minutes longer than the version previously released by the LBJ Library), pertaining to the selection of JFK’s autopsy site (Walter Reed Hospital vs. Bethesda Naval Hospital); and the mode of transportation to be used to move JFK’s body from Andrews Air Force Base to the autopsy site (a mortuary style ambulance vs. helicopter). Those portions of the AF1 tapes have always haunted me, since a tug-of-war was clearly going on between major actors onboard Air Force One, and major actors at the White House Situation Room (“Crown”), regarding where JFK’s autopsy would be performed, and how the body would be transported there. Many people who have studied these conversations have undoubtedly wondered the same things: “What was being planned — and why — and how did those plans change after AF1 landed at Andrews AFB — and why?” This rather lengthy and detailed essay will share with its readers my considered opinions after ruminating about this subject off and on for 32 years, since 1981 — when I first became aware of the LBJ Library version of the AF1 tapes by reading David Lifton’s forensic thriller about the JFK assassination, Best Evidence. Context is everything Everything in this essay is grounded around one basic, undeniable fact: that the heavy, bronze, reddish-brown ceremonial casket from Dallas, in which JFK’s body was taken aboard AF1 at Love Field in Dallas, was empty when the public saw it unloaded from Air Force One on live television shortly after 6:04 PM on November 22, 1963, and placed into a light gray Navy ambulance. We know this is so because President Kennedy’s body arrived at the Bethesda morgue twenty minutes BEFORE the motorcade from Andrews AFB, transporting the Dallas casket in a light gray Navy Pontiac ambulance, arrived at the front of the Navy hospital. If the timeline that supports the above conclusion can be trusted, then the only conclusion possible is that JFK’s body had been removed from the Dallas casket onboard the airplane, prior to the arrival of Air Force One at Andrews, and somehow spirited to Bethesda Naval Hospital before the Andrews motorcade arrived. It is essential that the reader review the basic facts proving that the body’s chain-of-custody was broken enroute the autopsy, before we move on to the principal topic of this essay, which is “What do the AF1 tapes reveal about what was intended that night; what actually transpired; and how did those events deviate from what had been planned, and why?” The timeline can indeed be trusted, and I shall demonstrate why. Two Navy enlisted men, Dennis David and Donald Rebentisch, were part of the working party that unloaded JFK’s body at 6:35 PM at the Bethesda Naval Hospital loading dock that evening. Mr. David was a First Class Navy Corpsman serving as “Chief of the Day” at Bethesda, and was instructed by the Secret Service detail (which had literally taken over Bethesda that afternoon) to assemble a working party of sailors, so that the President’s casket could be unloaded, and taken into the morgue, when it arrived in a vehicle at the Bethesda morgue’s loading dock. HM1 Dennis David was the supervisor of the working party, and Donald Rebentisch was a member of this working party. As reported in Best Evidence, both men, in the early 1980s, had independent and identical recollections of offloading a cheap aluminum shipping casket from a Hearse (a black Cadillac mortuary-style ambulance built specifically for the funeral trade) at the morgue’s loading dock, and of taking the casket into the morgue, and setting it down, before being dismissed. Dennis David’s best recollection when interviewed by the ARRB staff in 1997 was that this event occurred at about 6:45 PM; the precise time of the event was fixed with precision in 1997 when the ARRB staff acquired the November 26th, 1963 typed after-action report of USMC Sergeant Roger Boyajian, whose Marine Barracks security detail had provided physical security during the autopsy. (Mr. Boyajian still had an onionskin carbon copy of the report in 1997, and sent the ARRB a high-quality photocopy, which he authenticated by letter.) In his after-action report, which pertained only to the physical security provided for President Kennedy’s autopsy, Boyajian wrote: “At approximately 1835 the casket was received at the morgue entrance and taken inside.” This pins down much more accurately Dennis David’s estimate to the ARRB staff that the shipping casket event had taken place at about 6:45 PM. The military time of 1835 hours (6:35 PM civilian time) in Boyajian’s report, which was a contemporaneous document typed four days after the autopsy, trumps Dennis David’s estimate in 1997 (very accurate, as it turns out) of 6:45 PM, and can be authoritatively considered the true arrival time of the shipping casket. Later on, during the night of the autopsy, after the autopsy had been concluded, in response to a question from HM1 Dennis David, Dr. J Thornton Boswell, one of the three pathologists who had conducted JFK’s autopsy, confirmed to David that JFK had indeed been in the shipping casket his working party had unloaded from the Hearse at the morgue loading dock hours earlier. [David told Lifton in 1979 that both Dr. Humes and Dr. Boswell (the two Navy pathologists who participated in the autopsy) had been present on the loading dock, along with their commanding officer, Captain Stover, and what he believed to be the Surgeons General of the Army and Air Force.] In contrast, both the local newspapers, and a Secret Service report, reported that the light gray Navy ambulance containing the Dallas casket, Jackie Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, had arrived at 6:55 PM in front of Bethesda Naval Hospital, and newspapers the next day reported it had sat there for twelve minutes, before being driven away to the back of the building (its destination at that time — about 7:07 PM — per the two FBI agents who led the way in their own vehicle, was the morgue loading dock). We have a high degree of certainty, therefore, in both key aspects of this timeline — that is, in the arrival time of both caskets at Bethesda. The shipping casket (which Boswell confirmed to Dennis David had contained JFK’s body) arrived twenty minutes prior to the Andrews motorcade and the light gray Navy ambulance, and furthermore, the Navy ambulance had then (according to newspaper reports the next day) sat out in front of the hospital for an additional 12 minutes before even moving. Dennis David also recalled clearly — in 1979, long before he ever knew about the Boyajian report — that after his working party unloaded the shipping casket from the Hearse, he went to the forward part of the hospital and subsequently watched the Andrews motorcade arrive, about 20 or 30 minutes minutes later, from a second floor office window. As it turns out, his sense of time was quite accurate even many years later in 1979, for the Andrews motorcade arrived exactly 20 minutes after the casket arrival mentioned in the Boyajian report. This speaks highly to Dennis David’s reliability as a witness. It gets even worse, as far as the body’s chain-of-custody goes. The staff of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) learned in the late 1970s that the two FBI agents sent to Bethesda to obtain any bullets removed from the body, James Sibert and Francis O’Neill, helped two Secret Service agents (Roy Kellerman and William Greer) offload the Dallas casket (which had to be empty) from the light gray Navy ambulance that had just arrived at the morgue loading dock, using a wheeled conveyance (almost certainly what was known as a “church truck”). This was reconfirmed by the ARRB in 1997 when these two men were deposed; and former FBI agent James Sibert clarified for the ARRB that they set it down in the morgue anteroom. So this second casket entry was quite distinctive from the first one, in that: (1) it was a different casket than Dennis David’s working party offloaded [a heavy bronze ceremonial coffin, as opposed to a cheap, unadorned, lightweight gray aluminum shipping casket]; (2) it was delivered by a different vehicle [by a light gray Navy Pontiac ambulance, as opposed to a Hearse, which was a black Cadillac mortuary-style ambulance]; and (3) different people, or “actors,” unloaded the casket from the vehicle which delivered it [namely, the second casket delivery was offloaded by four Federal agents wearing suits, whereas the first casket delivery was offloaded by Navy sailors in working uniforms]. Based on inferences in an internal FBI interview report, this second casket entry by the four Federal agents occurred at approximately 7:17 PM. Unknown by the two FBI agents at the time, the Dallas casket was empty when they moved it into the morgue anteroom. (The two Secret Service agents had to know otherwise, for they had been onboard Air Force One during the flight back to Washington from Dallas.) The “French Farce” continued that evening, for there was a second entry of the Dallas casket at 8:00 PM. The Honor Guard, or Joint Service Casket Team, after chasing a “decoy ambulance” into the darkness and getting lost, finally found the Dallas casket sitting out front in a light gray Navy ambulance (which one of the two present that night is unclear), and performed their intended ceremonial function by following it to the back of the hospital, manhandling the heavy bronze casket up the narrow steps leading to the morgue loading dock platform, and by then taking it into the morgue proper. The time of this third casket entry (and the second entry for the Dallas casket that night) was recorded in the after-action report of the Military District of Washington (MDW). So the time of this final casket entry — 8:00 PM — is also unassailable. And its actors are startlingly different from the other two casket entries that preceded it: the Joint Service Casket Team, hastily assembled at Andrews AFB, consisted of members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard — all wearing the dress uniform of their respective services, and white gloves. [Unlike the Marine Barracks security detail supervised by USMC Sergeant Boyajian, they carried no weapons.] Furthermore, after setting the heavy bronze casket down next to one of the morgue examining tables, they witnessed the casket being opened, and saw JFK’s body removed from the heavy, reddish-brown ceremonial coffin. Those who were playing a “shell game” with President Kennedy’s body that night understood that the mortified and embarrassed Casket Team had to be allowed to perform its ceremonial function — that is, to “find” the casket that they had lost in the darkness; to take it into the morgue; and to see it opened and to be reassured that all was well, and that the slain Commander-in-Chief’s body was inside. The illusion of an intact chain-of-custody had to be created for this most important audience, and for those supervising its performance, General Phillip Wehle (Commandant, MDW), and his aide, Lt. Richard Lipsey. The first two casket entries that night — the shipping casket at 6:35 PM and the first Dallas casket entry at about 7:17 PM — remained unknown to the Joint Service Casket Team, and to Wehle and Lipsey. [Lipsey later freely admitted knowledge of a “decoy ambulance” to the HSCA staff in an interview in the late 1970s, but seemed completely unaware of its implications; presumably, he and General Wehle were given a benign explanation for the “wild goose chase” conducted in the dark by both of them, and by their honor guard that night. Many of the enlisted Navy personnel on duty the night of the autopsy at Bethesda were aware of a “decoy” Navy ambulance, and its existence was even admitted to them by some of the Secret Service agents at the Naval Hospital.] In view of the fact that many autopsy photos known to have been taken are now missing; in view of the fact that the three surviving skull x-rays (at least two are missing) are not originals, but are altered copy films; in view of the fact that some autopsy notes were burned and other notes are missing, that the first draft of the autopsy report was burned, that one signed copy is now missing, and the extant copy in the National Archives is the third written version of the autopsy protocol; in view of the fact that the brain photos in the JFK autopsy collection at the National Archives cannot be photos of JFK’s brain; and in view of the fact that President Kennedy’s brain is now missing—in view of all these facts, all Americans who want to know what really happened to President Kennedy in 1963 surely wish that an honest and honorable professional like Dr. Rose had been allowed to do his job and perform an honest and competent autopsy on John F. Kennedy’s body. If Dr. Rose had been allowed to do his job, I do not think we would now be faced with the massive cover-up that surrounds the medical evidence in JFK’s assassination.
  4. James Jenkins hardly mentions Paul O'Conner's presence during the autopsy. From the account above you'd think Jenkins was the only medical tech next to Humes and Boswell during the autopsy. Did O'Conner "make up" his account of also being right there next to the upper part of JFK's body all during the autopsy from 8:00 pm to early the next morning? O'Conner describes more aspects of the entire autopsy scene, especially the make up and actions of the amphitheater audience. If O'Conner made most of his account up and/or highly exaggerated this, he sure was creative and had to be a pathological xxxx. O'Conner had much more experience in the Bethesda morgue and autopsy room and with autopsies than Jenkins who I believe had only been in this apparently student learning role for what...two months? So why would Jenkins portray himself as kind of a "main medical tech" on the scene during the autopsy and barely mention O'Conner, the much more experienced autopsy medical tech? We know that Jenkins isn't a talker and only focused on his orders and duties that night, but his account without mentioning O'Conner begs some questions such as his memory being less than full capacity. If O'Conner wasn't as close to JFK's body as Jenkins during the entire evening he sure bamboozled me and I am sure many others in claiming he was. Jenkins story and description of JFK's brain seems contradictory to me. He says he was handed the brain by Boswell, yet also says he thinks the brain might have been cut from the spinal cord and removed earlier? He says he felt the brain he saw was smaller than a normal brain? He states that Humes said JFK's brain just fell out of JFK's cranium into his hands? Jenkins describes a brain turning "mushy" upon traumatic bullet caused internal injury? JFK's obliterated brain must have been an extreme example of this if the entering bullet tore right through it...no? Jenkins and Boswell weighed each major organ of JFK? Yet, no one weighed the brain? Humes testified he didn't weigh JFK's brain. Jenkins described the procedure for opening up a skull for brain removal which including some saw cutting and as brain removal experienced O'Conner told us, you have to then pull the frontal skull all the way down and over the face ( the back skull goes the other way) and then you have to pull or cut the duramatter which covers the brain to then make other cuts to free the brain. Jenkins wasn't clear about the JFK brain removal procedure being done like that or not. Of course JFK's skull was blown apart into so many irregular pieces how would you saw it or be able to peel it back in one or two pieces to get to the brain? Sounds like most of JFK's severely mascerated mushy brain just fell out of the skull cavity on it's own. I watched Jenkins being interviewed by Patrick Bet-David. In this interview Jenkins holds up a model human brain and uses this to describe what he saw of JFK's brain when he handled it. He said it didn't look too much different than the model brain except for a good sized chunk ( less than a third ) missing from the right back side of JFK's brain. I don't think Jenkins mentioned Humes saying JFK's brain just fell out and into his hands or mentioned the brain being mushy. I think Jenkins is an honest good man, but there just seems to be too many gaps and/or less than sure incongruities in his recollection account, imo. At the end of the Patrick Bet-David interview Jenkins did infer that he felt LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover had something to do with JFK's murder.
  5. I always have to grapple with either believing or disbelieving Bethesda Navy Medical corpsman Paul O,Conner's sworn oath testimony and interview statements regards the removal of JFK's brain on 11,22,1963. If he is telling the truth...the entire brain part of the JFK autopsy report is false. James Jenkins stated in one interview that while he was assisting Humes and Boswell in the morgue he was handed a brain ( he wasn't sure if it was Humes or Boswell who handed him the brain ) and told to put this in some sort of "sling?" but he qualified this recollection by also stating he couldn't be sure it was JFK's! He also described JFK's brain as being pretty much intact except for a chunk gone from the back right area that he estimated was less than a third of the entire brain. However Humes himself said under sworn testimony that JFK's brain was incredibly torn and mascerated inside from back to front ( like mush) and we know from the Zapruder film that a lot of JFK's brain was exploded out along with skull bone and fluid and blood into a wide area coverage spray. Clint Hill ( who was within inches of JFK after jumping on the limo and back seat area to cover him and Jackie ) often described a massive hole in the back of JFK's head where the brain was "gone." O'Conner ( who everyone acknowledges was within inches from JFK's head and upper body almost the entire autopsy and whose specialty was autopsy brain removal - 50 to 60 times ) stated he never saw any skull cutting done on JFK and inferred there was no brain removal that he saw because...there was so little brain matter to remove! Humes was confronted in his ARRB appearance with questions about not listing JFK's brain weight in Hume's first summary notes about the autopsy. Humes akwardly, admitted he didn't put this always done and recorded information in his initial summary and ... well ... he just simply could not explain why. Hmmm ... ??? The final official autopsy finding listed JFK's brain weight as 1,400 grams. Heavier even than a "fully intact" average male brain weight? What happened to Jenkin's missing one third and obvious weight loss of JFK's brain claim? Then, JFK's brain disappears completely not long after the autopsy? The JFK brain story is all over the map with versions completely different from each other. Toss a dart. Whose version do you choose to believe? If you believe O'Conner then you must believe Humes is lying about JFK's brain findings. For many reason's I believe Navy corpsman Paul O'Conner over Humes.
  6. This is a fascinating new character story. I will post more questions later, but she sounds like a meaner, more ruthless version of Dorothy Kilgallen.
  7. Sentimentalizing guys like Giancanna, Capone, Marcello, Trafficante etc. just doesn't fit. Years ago, while working at a small but somewhat well known celebrity owned hotel in Carmel, CA I interacted with a group staying there for a brief family get together vacation. Every morning I would get the guest name sheet as I had to know which rooms I had to go to if called to perform any personal service for them during their stay. Most of our small staff performed multi-tasked duties that large hotels had specific departments and staff for. I was kind of the main hotel concierge but I also did bellman, front desk, bar back, minor maintenance ( TV, fireplace, room heater fix it stuff ) room service, blanket and sheet delivery, car parking ... heck I even did dog sitting, walking and room mess accident clean up duties! Never asked to perform any "special" personal favors though. Too old, fat and ugly I guess. However, this particular group family name I noticed on my hotel guest list one day was "Capone!" I met two of the family in helping them with various needs during their stay. By the way...all of these family members staying with us were women. I happened to ask one of these Capone women where she was from. "Florida" she responded. I later brought up this notorious family name to my immediate boss and joked about it as anyone would. He looked at me with a "I got news for you fella" smug smile. Turned out these women were the real Capone family McCoys! 3rd generation of course. They were very nice the entire time I waited on them. And I must say that the one Capone lady I dealt with mostly was extremely attractive. Maybe in her mid-to-late 40's? A real Claudia Cardinale look-alike! Born on April 15, 1938, in Tunisia from Sicilian parents, Claudia Cardinale.
  8. Pete, it doesn't sound like there was already a busy and buzzing room filled crowd of non-medical personnel all around Humes and Boswell in the immediate 6:45 pm arrival of the JFK's casket and body to the morgue and their lifting of it up and onto an exam table. Were all these generals and admirals and agents and who knows whos already there waiting for the casket arrival in the morgue/autopsy amphitheater when it was first brought in and laid down on the floor there? I have always assumed that Humes and Boswell had some preliminary time to examine and maybe even work with JFK's body ( JFK's brain wasn't removed in front of the amphitheater crowd was it? ) before the 8:00 PM start of the amphitheater viewed autopsy.
  9. Could Lisa Murkowski change her mind about not voting to impeach the "Inciter in Chief?" In the Capital Building hallway interview video below, she seemed very shaken by the Democratic manager's Trump charging presentation. She described the presentation with it's very thorough and well thought out "all the pieces put together" time line layout as very "damning" and "disturbing." She sounded and even looked much more upset and disturbed about the riot event and Trump's culpability in this than previously. Murkowski was in the Capital Building hearing chamber when it was attacked. She personally felt the great fear her fellow congressmembers felt. I think the highly emotional sharing of the true traumatizing power of the Trump crazies attack by her bonded-by-fear colleagues and their much more informative and revealing "factual" presentation of Trump's inciting culpability (which it's well thought out "time line" facts greatly bolstered ) touched Murkowski's sense of greater outrage over the entire event and Trump's part in it. Murkowski has expressed bi-partisan non-Trump blind loyalty sentiments before but in the end she went the Trump way, so I don't really expect her to vote for impeachment. Yet, in this interview she sure "sounded" like she was more outraged about Trump's inciting culpability in the Capital Building attack affair than she was before the trial. Who knows, maybe the impeachment vote will be 57/43 in the end? With Murkowski switching sides?

  10. Fascinating. Regards the following excerpt from McKnight's book, what was "the real operational purpose behind Oswald's staged pro-Castro activities in New Orleans and his carefully scripted contacts with the DRE during the month of August 1963, just weeks before he left for Mexico City." ? As developed earlier, in 1962 Helms had assigned George E. Joannides, a young, well-educated, and experienced junior officer on a fast track inside the agency, to take over as the DRE's contact officer." Helms picked Joannides because the contact officer he replaced, Ross Crozier, had failed to earn the respect of the DRE and therefore had little control over these CIA assets. When Joannides took over, all of this changed. Joannides was the chief of the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Miami station for more than a year before Kennedy's assassination. He was the directorate's paymaster, keeping the exile group in funds to the tune of $25,000 a month. More than any other CIA officer, Joannides (code name "Howard") knew about the real operational purpose behind Oswald's staged pro-Castro activities in New Orleans and his carefully scripted contacts with the DRE during the month of August 1963, just weeks before he left for Mexico City.
  11. Watching the Impeachment hearing. The Trump incitement evidence is rock solid. Trump will always be acknowledged in truth as guilty of this crime. But he won't be convicted. Simply because his biased Senate members will vote against impeachment, even though they know he's guilty of this offense. Sad that justice will not be done and can be subverted by biased jurors.
  12. Looking back the last year it is starkly obvious and even cringing how opposite of "winning" Trump and his doings have been. This guy is the essence of a loser. At every turn. The Capital building insurrection is the crowning glory capstone of Trump's epic loser streak legacy. You have to stop and really look at and add up all the failures to see this. There are so many losing Trump actions and efforts, they tend to overshadow one another. You can't keep up with them all. Just off the top of my head and in the last year...he has completely blown the Covid crisis. Dozens of crazy, unfounded and trust destroying claims,words and decisions. A miracle will stop it. It'll be over by Easter. Maybe we can somehow get bleach in our systems. It's a hoax and masks don't make that much difference. Obama's Flu response was as bad or worse. Kids are immune. The numbers are being manipulated. And on and on. Trump and his daughter fly to Georgia to help their two Republican senate candidates. They both lose. Trump's WALL wasn't even half finished. 1/4th? His Borat film joke and hair dye running down his face buddy Rudy Giuliani has been widely embarrassed into obscurity. Over half his staff Caine Mutiny jumped off their Captain Queeg's ship before it went completely under. Trump has been kicked totally off Twitter! He has lost the election and every court fight to over turn it. He refused to do a White House sit down with the newly elected President or even attend his inauguration looking extremely and immaturely vindictive, petty and childish. Trump's name was removed from an upscale residence community. His business licenses for Central Park were revoked. His long term personal fixer attorney has turned on him and had a huge NY Times best seller book exposing Trump's worst character traits and actions. Trump's own niece exposed him and his worst traits even more through her own huge smash best seller book. Both Michael Cohen and Mary Trump are regular national TV covered figures now. Trump's huge tax troubles are not going away. E. Jean Carrol's rape charge case was allowed to proceed. Trump's maskless Amy Comey Barrett's rally turned into a Covid super spreader event. The White House became a desperate deserted Covid hot bed with Trump and his blindly obeying staff refusing to wear masks there. Trump raged over wife Melania's tacky Mar A Lago renovation fail. Trump's impeachment legal defense team made fools of themselves in the Senate chamber yesterday. There's probably 25 more Trump losing episodes for sure. Ha! What more can one see in this never ending circus of epic losing blunders, one after another, after another before finally calling "a spade a spade"...or in Trump's case calling "a loser a loser?"
  13. Looks like the Louisiana GOP got the attack the "RAT" call to go after their Senator Bill Cassidy because he turned on their Godfather DT.
  14. Was this the same machine Sean Connery and Robert Shaw fought to the death over on the train from Istanbul in the James Bond film "From Russia With Love?" "Red wine with fish. Well that should have told me something." "You may know the right wines, but you're the one on his knees." "How does it feel...old man?"
  15. If the above conversation actually took place and FBI agent "Joe" was telling the truth, the question of JFK's body being removed from the Dallas ornate casket between Dallas and D.C. is answered. Commander James Humes in his sworn ARRB testimony says the first time he saw JFK's arriving body, it was while lifting him out of the heavy and large ornate bronze casket in the morgue. A few questions here: When JFK's body first arrived to the morgue and was lifted out of "any" casket, was it placed on an exam table other than the one in the official autopsy amphitheater room? Was the morgue and student accommodating amphitheater all the same room? With but "one" exam/autopsy procedure table? It sounds to me like there was a preliminary exam of JFK's body ( and on a different table ) before the actual official with witnesses autopsy. Humes said JFK's body first arrived "to the morgue " around 6:30 to 6:45 pm. Did he immediately start the official autopsy at that time and on the first exam table he and Boswell and one or two medical techs lifted JFK's body onto? Or was JFK's body placed on another amphitheater room autopsy table later than when it first arrived? Was the table JFK was first placed on one with wheels that could be rolled into another room? Others have stated the official autopsy started around 8:pm. Naval Tech Paul O'Conner's stated this time table account of first seeing JFK's body and the start of the official autopsy. Commander Humes stated JFK's body was first brought to the morgue around 6:30 to 6:45 pm. If both are correct...what were Humes and Boswell doing with JFK's body from 6:45 to 8:00 pm? Was O'Conner not present at the Humes stated 6:45 pm JFK body arrival time and place? What was the official documented record stated time that the "amphitheater with witnesses" autopsy first began? 6:45 pm? 7:30 pm? 8:00 pm?
  16. He knew. Roger Stone knew. Trump knew. They all knew. Why isn't Trump being impeached as much for his mind boggling dereliction of constitution, public and government defending presidential duty with his purposely delayed response of over 2 HOURS while watching the death and destruction riot that had clearly overwhelmed the hugely outnumbered Capital police and Senate and Congress security? Trump surely had 100X more "real time" information access to the insurrection event than all us average Joes and Nancys. And what "we little people" were able to see just on CNN was shocking and shaking us to the core well before Trump finally acted! Where's the back up help?! Trump knew his own vice president and his family had to be frantically rushed out and to a safe location because of the real threat to their lives. And this was long before he made any inquiries and decisions to send needed help to the riot scene? And after all the traumatizing terror, physical property destruction and theft and even murderous death...Trump goes on national TV the very same day to say to the Capital Building invading terrorists who carried this out ... "I know how you feel", "You are very special people" and "WE LOVE YOU" !!!! "We love you" ??? ... "We love you" ??? And nothing as concernedly consoling at all to the traumatized victims of this "terrorist attack" - the Senators, Congressmen and women, their aides, and all the Capital police and security? Isn't there some law on the books about aiding and abetting terrorism and terrorists? Aiding and abetting - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Aiding_and_abetting Aiding and abetting is a legal doctrine related to the guilt of someone who aids or abets >>> (encourages, incites) <<< another person in the commission of a crime (or in ... And Trump's defenders are crowing that he doesn't deserve to be held accountable for "anything" regards this unprecedented incredibly violent and injurious democracy threatening insurrection? His months of stolen election rage rhetoric fueling of it, his outrageous dereliction of presidential duty in waiting so long in taking protection helping action while it was occurring and finally the ultimate impeachment deserving coup de grace ... consoling and coddling the Capital Building invading hord with these sickening words of bonding sympathy ( and none for their victims ) ... "I know how you feel" " You are very special people"...and "WE LOVE YOU!" My Gad! What more can rational American Democracy loving, respecting and defending people need to know to see how negligent and even criminally complicit Trump was in this insurrection affair? Think about this almost unbelievable Presidential responsibility neglect reality. It's truly impeachment conviction worthy... and we all know it.
  17. I would think either Navy medical tech Paul O'Conner or James Jenkins, who were both present in the morgue with Humes and who both claimed to have helped lift JFK's body out of a coffin, would have clearly noticed and remembered lifting JFK's body out of such a huge, heavy and ornate shiny bronze coffin. Just to get a coffin of that size and weight into the morgue and set on the floor there would have taken a half dozen men or more. And once JFK's body was removed from it, it would have taken an equal number of men to come in and remove the still super heavy coffin as well. One would also reasonably assume they wouldn't leave this huge coffin on the floor next to any morgue examining table simply because it would be a free movement restriction causing obstacle. O'Conner's explanation as to why he didn't say anything publicly about what he witnessed in the autopsy room up close within inches from JFK's body for years until he was out of the service makes absolute, credible sense. He was majorly threatened by his superiors and took their threats very seriously. O'Conner sounds more credible, direct and honest in recounting his observations during JFK's autopsy than Navy Commander Humes imo. Humes ARRB testimony regards many important areas of the entire JFK arrival and examination is filled with contradictory statements. Humes would often make simple and firm claims of denial. "No, that person was not present" and immediately refute and weaken that statement by saying "Well, not that I was aware of" or, "couldn't say for sure" or "I was too focused on my responsibilities to notice" etc. etc. ARRB question to Humes: Q. "Would you have recognized Joint Chiefs of Staff as of 1963?" <<<< >>>> A. "No." <<<< Q. "For example, Curtis LeMay, would you have recognized him?" A. "Oh, I'd recognize him if he was there, but he was not." What? Wait a minute. You wouldn't have recognized these Chiefs...but you then would? Read Humes's account regards the completely contradictory JFK brain weight mix up. Final autopsy report listed JFK's hugely blown away brain weight at 1400 grams? More than an average male full weight brain? No brain weight listed on Humes first filed summary report? Humes says he simply can't explain this most important missing info.? JFK's removed brain that was supposedly placed in a bucket of formaldhyde goes "completely missing" not long after? Sorry, but the credibility factor as far as this JFK brain finding report issue is concerned is totally suspect imo. O'Conner's description of the total damage to JFK's entire skull and brain is the most clear, honest and detailed of any other eyewitness imo. Of how it was much more totally obliterated than Humes relates. And which, as O'Conner states, is indicative of a much higher caliber bullet causing this much damage versus a smaller Carcano 30 to 33 caliber one. O'Conner had more physical hands and visual eyes on experience in observing bullet body wounds and especially skull and brain injury than Humes ever did. We know this as fact bolstered by Hume's own admission of not being a bullet wound expert therefore his need to call in wound expert Marine Dr. Pierre Finck to help him in this regards for the autopsy. JFK's skull was so powerfully and completely obliterated (as in exploded from the inside out) good size pieces of his skull literally blew off, up and out onto the street and limo trunk and enough brain matter, blood and other fluid was ejected to cover the limo occupants, the limo interior and the motorcycle police escorts feet behind the limo with this. JFK's entire skull was shattered into many multiple cracked pieces like a dropped hard boiled egg shell as O'Conner related. All from a 30 to 33 caliber fired Carcano bullet? Bullet and head wound experienced Paul O'Conner says ...no way.
  18. Commander Humes in his ARRB testimony described the casket with JFK's body inside when it first arrived in his morgue. He said it was a large wooden casket. With long wooden handrails on the sides, one of which was broken. "Q. Dr. Humes, when did you first see the body of President Kennedy? A. I didn't look at my watch, if I even had a watch on, but I would guess it was 6:45 or 7 o'clock, something like that, approximately. Q. Was the body in the casket when you first saw it? A. Yes, it was in a casket. Q. Could you describe the casket in just very general terms? A. Yes. It was a wooden casket with long Page 67 handles on both sides like you usually see for the use of pallbearers and so forth. One of the handles was broken. I forget which side it was on. But it was a handsome--the standard of those things. It was a good-looking casket." In the following video clip of this supposed same casket being off-loaded from Air Force One at Andrews Air Force base the evening of 11,22,1963 into the elevated mechanical lift and then out of the lowered lift to the ambulance parked in front, my eyes see men on "both" sides of the casket clearly holding onto "something" ( handrails? ) in carrying the casket out of the lift and especially into the back of the ambulance. If one of the caskets long side handles was broken as Humes testified to, what the heck were these side located casket lifters hanging onto? The casket containing John Fitzgerald Kennedy's body is carried to an ambulance f...HD Stock Footage In this clip notice also the extreme ambulance body drop in the back compared to the front as it pulls away. The back is just inches higher than road scraping level versus the front which is much higher. Looked like a 1970's L.A. low rider special. That coffin in back must have weighed a ton!
  19. Some of Commander James Humes actual ARRB testimony. Q. Approximately how many people were in the autopsy room at the time President Kennedy was-- A. Geez, that's a good question. That's one of my--I should have thrown them all out. That was one of my biggest problems. There were, I guess--there was an Air Force aide, the Naval aide, an Army aide to the President. They were the most shook-up people you ever saw in your life. And I guess it was around Page 60 15 people there off and on, maybe 20. Q. During the autopsy, was the room quiet and hushed or noisy and bustling? How would you describe the scene? A. It varied. We were there for a long time. We were there from about 6:00 or 6:30 in the evening until 5 o'clock the next morning. It was very hushed around 5 o'clock in the morning. But in the early evening, it was--I mean, we had X-ray technicians coming in and photographers and photographers' assistants there, the kind of thing that you would expect under any circumstances, plus these other people, the Secret Service and the FBI, who wouldn't normally be present. But I had to concentrate on what I was doing. I mean, I really couldn't get too worried about these other people, as long as they didn't get in my way, which they didn't. Q. In the JAMA article, if they quoted you correctly, you said that the scene in the autopsy room was somewhat like trying to do delicate neurosurgery in a three-ring circus. Page 61 A. At times it was. Not always, but at times when there was a lot of people around. You had to stage stuff. I mean, you couldn't be taking X-rays of the whole body and photographs simultaneously. You know, somebody had to decide who was going to do what when, and I had to do that. George Burkley sure as hell didn't, you know. Q. Did anyone make suggestions to you other than Drs. Boswell and Finck, regarding any procedures-- A. No. Q. --during the autopsy? A. No. Q. None whatsoever? A. None. I don't know who it would have been or who would have the... Q. Was your commanding officer there? A. I had a separate commanding officer, and he was there, it seems to me, part of the time. John Stover was his name. Everybody called him Smoky Stover. At that time, we had a separate command called the Naval Medical School. The Naval Page 62 Hospital did not have any laboratories. The Naval Medical School had laboratories, and we provided the laboratory service to the hospital. So the guy that was really my commanding officer by rules and regulations was John Stover. But he had--we had a very cordial, pleasant relationship, but he never commanded me to do anything in my life, period. He was off in a different area. We conducted training courses for technologists and technicians and occupational thera--all kind of training courses, and that was his main role, to run the training aspects of the, quote-unquote, medical school. At one time, when my uncle was a Navy doctor, every new doctor coming into the Navy first was assigned to this Naval Medical School for, I think, six or nine months, and they taught some tropical medicine and they taught shipboard sanitation--you know, the kind of things that you'd need to know in the Navy. But if Smoky was there-- and I think he was for part of the time--we had no dialogue at all. He would never have presumed to tell me anything, I don't believe. He was a Page 63 general practitioner, is what he was. He was a field--he spent a lot of time in the Marine Corps. He was a field medical officer, and a very good one, very much respected. Q. Who was Captain Stover's commanding officer? A. Admiral Galloway. Q. Was he present at the autopsy? A. I don't think so. I don't think Cal came down there at all. I mean, I can't swear that he was or wasn't there. But if he was, he played no role in it whatever. Really, other than more than look in the room, I don't think Admiral Galloway was there at all. Q. Was the Surgeon General of the Navy present-- A. No. Q. --during the autopsy? That's Rear Admiral Kenny? A. Kenny. Q. And he was not present at all in the Page 64 autopsy room? A. I can't recall that he was. You know, he might have, again, looked in, stuck his head in the door or something. But I don't recall him being in the room. If he was, it was very fleetingly. Q. Previously, you made reference to the President's Air Force aide. Was that reference to General McHugh? A. I didn't know who they were, to tell you the truth. Still don't know who they were. And they didn't stay long. They came about the time the body was delivered, and they didn't--I mean, I didn't concentrate on what these people were doing. It really didn't interest me. I was empathetic with their concern, but as far as otherwise, I didn't have anything to do with them, or they with me. Q. Previously, you made reference to the commanding general for the military district of Washington. A. Yes. Q. Was that General Wehle? Page 65 A. You got me. You know, he told me, he said he was in charge, and I heard later that that was his role. I said to somebody else, "Who's that guy?" And that's what they said; he's the CO of the military district of Washington. I never saw him before or since, didn't know who he was then. Q. Was he present at all during the autopsy? A. No, he was not. Or if he was, I didn't know he was there. Let's put it that way. I don't think he was at all. >>>> Q. Would you have recognized Joint Chiefs of Staff as of 1963? <<<< >>>> A. No. <<<< Q. For example, Curtis LeMay, would you have recognized him? A. Oh, I'd recognize him if he was there, but he was not. >>>> HUMES JUST SAID HE WOULD NOT HAVE RECOGNIZED JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF ! <<<< Q. Did you ever hear any speculation about whether any members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were present at the autopsy? A. No, never heard, but if they were, it was unknown to me totally. I doubt very seriously that Page 66 they were. You asked me, would I recognize them? Sure, you know, from newspapers and television, one thing or another. I probably knew them all by sight. But they weren't there. MR. GUNN: Let's take a short break, a couple minutes to get a drink of water. [Recess.] MR. GUNN: We're back on the record following the first recess. BY MR. GUNN: Q. Dr. Humes, when did you first see the body of President Kennedy? A. I didn't look at my watch, if I even had a watch on, but I would guess it was 6:45 or 7 o'clock, something like that, approximately. Q. Was the body in the casket when you first saw it? A. Yes, it was in a casket. Q. Could you describe the casket in just very general terms? A. Yes. It was a wooden casket with long Page 67 handles on both sides like you usually see for the use of pallbearers and so forth. One of the handles was broken. I forget which side it was on. But it was a handsome--the standard of those things. It was a good-looking casket. Q. Where did you first see the casket? A. As the people--I think they were sailors that were--it was a Navy ambulance, a Navy ambulance crew who had picked up the body at the airport, and they brought it into the morgue and promptly left. Q. Do you remember what color the ambulance was? >>>> A. No--oh, gray. I saw it on television later. <<<< And all our ambulances were gray in those days. Q. Were you with the casket from the time it was unloaded from the gray ambulance until you opened the lid of the casket? A. I didn't go out on the loading dock. I was there from the time it came through the door of the morgue until the President left the next Page 68 morning. Q. How many rooms or hallways are there between the loading dock and the morgue where you first saw-- A. Just a very brief hallway. I guess maybe 15, 20 feet, something like that. No rooms. Q. And was the casket opened in the morgue? A. Yes. Q. Who else was in the room when the casket was opened? A. Oh, I can't tell you that. Dr. Boswell and I removed the body from the casket, and I--I don't know who. There were some enlisted helpers, technicians from our department there, and I don't know who else was there. I can't tell you. I was too intent on what I was doing and too, to tell you the truth, a little bit shook by the whole procedure, initially at least. It was disturbing to have a deceased President there in your arms, you know. It's not an unemotional experience. But I was not worrying about who was around or whatever. It was the least of my worries. Page 69 Q. Who else in addition to Dr. Boswell, if anyone, helped you remove the body from the casket? A. I don't recall that anyone did, but I don't gainsay the possibility that one of the enlisted men may have helped. But nobody else. Q. How was the President's body wrapped? A. It was wrapped in white sheets and the head was--head wound, massive head wound, was covered with gauze sponges and gauze dressing. Q. Was there any plastic or rubber sheeting at all near the President's head? A. No. Well, I'm not sure what finally tied down the gauze bandage over the skull wound. It might have been plastic or something, but, you know, I don't know. Adhesive tape or God knows what. It was easily removed. It wasn't tight at all. Q. Was there any plastic sheeting or rubber sheeting of any kind that you saw in the casket-- A. No. Q. --with the exception of possibly with the head? Page 70 A. No. Now, here is a different recollection as stated by Bethesda Naval Medical Tech Paul O'Conner who was in the morgue with Humes and Boswell: I'll post the Humes testimony contradicting description of JFK's body when it arrived to the morgue by Paul O'Conner paragraph first and alone. If you want to read the entire O'Conner interview transcript below this it is also very exposing of many other Humes testimony contradictions. O'Connor: Aubrey Rike. He was an ambulance driver for the O'Neal Funeral Home. They were at Parkland at the time the body was brought in and they were told to call Mr. O'Neal at the Funeral Home and have him bring his best, most expensive, casket to Parkland Hospital, post haste. When they got it there, Aubrey Rike told me they put him in a bed liner. Now a bed liner is something that goes over a bed-it's a plastic covering that keeps bodily fluids from bleeding into the mattress. It's not a body bag. A body bag is a bag that a body is put into and zipped from the head to the toe. He was wrapped in sheets around his chest and his torso, and when we received him he was not in a bed liner. He was in a body bag, but nothing wrapped around his torso. It was an unclothed body The only thing on his body was a bloody sheet around his head. So that was another thing that was extremely disturbing to hear about. Law: How did that make you feel? O'Connor: That somebody somewhere high up in government - it had to be the government - was concealing evidence, vital evidence, from the American public about what actually transpired between Parkland and Bethesda.
