FBI agent James Sibert talks about JFK's wounds and the autopsy - YouTube

Vince, I am coming across video presentations you have recently posted on You Tube that are incredibly interesting, provocative and revealing and which are centered on witnesses and researchers of great credibility.

Hence, my reposting of two of them, one being the KRON TV investigative piece with the Bethesda Navy veterans who were "hands on " eye witnesses to JFK's body and casket upon it's arrival to Bethesda the early evening of November 22nd, 1963.

I just came upon another You Tube submission of yours on the 2003 JFK conference at your home town Catholic Duquesne University in 2003.

Just fascinating content and sharing. Had never seen or heard JFK film co-writer Zachary Sclar speak before. 

What really shocked me is the incredibly low number of views of these great You Tube videos. 38 for the Duquesne University JFK conference one? 38!?

A few hundred for the KRON TV Bethesda witness interview one?

Could you provide a link to this new Duquesne JFK conference one here in this thread?

Thanks for these. JB

Watch the following video of 4 eyewitness Bethesda duty Navy veterans recounting their recollections of JFK's casket and body arriving at Bethesda Naval facility the evening of 11,22,1963.

They all say the same thing regards JFK's body arriving sooner than Jackie Kennedy's arrival in the grey or white hearse  which supposedly contained JFK's body in the large, heavy and ornate bronze casket.

It's very compelling to hear them all recounting hugely contradicting observations of the arrival, the vehicle, the casket, JFK's body and X-rays and photos of such and the only argument one could make in dismissing their claims is that they are all lying. All of them, greatly.

X-Ray ( or photo?) tech Custer says he took pictures of JFK's head area up to "twenty minutes" before Jackie Kennedy arrived.

Dennis David says he saw a "black hearse" type vehicle arrive in the back of the morgue to unload a casket, again earlier than Jackie Kennedy's arrival in the grey vehicle at the front entrance.

Commander Humes himself testified to the ARRB that JFK's body arrived at the morgue 6:30 pm to maybe 6:45 pm that evening. He gave a weak claim that the casket was brought to the loading area in a grey navy vehicle, bolstered by his recollection of seeing a similar grey one later on TV? Probably the footage of the AF 1 landing and casket removing scene at Andrews? Humes needed to convince himself of the grey ambulance ID because he saw one later on TV?

These four verified 11,22,1963 "hands on" Bethesda duty navy veteran eyewitnesses ( navy medical tech Jim Jenkins was another but not in this video ) and Parkland JFK body handling Aubrey Rike contradict the official Bethesda casket arriving and body photo findings so greatly and uniformally, to dismiss them completely or even parse them into insignificance is an exercise of  extremely weak illogical lameness.

Has anyone ever fixed the "exact time" of Jackie Kennedy's arrival to Bethesda?

Worshipping the golden jackass': CPAC mocked for displaying giant gold Trump statue

by Brad Reed February 26, 2021

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-cpac-2650809338/

“The Conservative Political Action Conference is set to begin this weekend, and early indications are that much of it will be dedicated to worshipping former President Donald Trump.

In fact, as a video posted by Bloomberg News' William Turton shows, CPAC will even feature a literal gold statue of the former twice-impeached one-term president, who will also be a keynote speaker at the event.”

 

I think I'm going to be ill.

Steve Thomas

A golden statue of Trump?

Among millions of Trump Catholic, Evangelical and who knows what other religious groups, isn't one of their basic foundational tenents not to worship false idols?

A golden statue of Trump?

One of the most morally corrupt, money and greed obsessed men ever to occupy our highest elective office?

A golden statue of Trump?

Placed in a prominent display location at this CPAC get together? 

Of course it would be purposely "gold" colored. The color of greed.

Looks like Trump cultists will never escape their mass false idol following delusion.

No one can get through to them anymore. They think the Capital Building insurrection and Trump inciting this was...okay!

Wonder where he will lead them from here?

Benjamin Cole:

" I see David Phillips putting LOH up to a long-planned, false-flag but unsuccessful JFK assassination, and then a couple CIA assets, probably Cubans, piggybacking on the operation. Phillips wrote a near-confessional novel in this regard. "

BC, what book was that? When did Phillips write this? Could you give a brief summary?

"Well, speculation...if it were not for the horrendous gravity of the act, the JFKA would be the greatest detective novel ever written...."

It IS the greatest detective novel ever written!  When you combine all 2000 JFK assassination tomes together.

With half their physical weight being Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History" book alone!

Yes, we also have many outages due to fallen trees and limbs during windy winter rain storms. If they go on for two full days or more we lose all the food in our refrigerator.

I am not sure but are our water systems totally computerized and electric? And same with our sewage systems?

My guess is 100% of urban residents are totally dependent on their city water systems. No hand pump water wells for them. Even in our rural areas their wells are almost always equipped with electric pumping systems.

Nature regularly rears up and brings millions of people's lives to a standstill all over the world.

The great Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004, Fukushima Daiichi Tsunami in 2011,  great flooding in Europe just a few years ago, our own natural disasters the last 25 years.

High Richter Scale Earthquakes. Out of control deadly virus pandemics. Record extremes in temperature and rainfall.

One of the possible disasters I have imagined every now and then is a major earthquake ( 8 point or higher ) devastating the Los Angeles area.

20 million people live in that metro-area!

Can you imagine water lines severed, electricity cut off, freeways collapsed, no fire and police protection, hospitals unable to treat the injured, stores stripped or robbed of food, looting, assaults, jail unrest within days after?

Talk about a true life apocalyptic nightmare!

New Orleans collapsed like that with Katrina. Police abandoned their stations and duties. Rest home workers abandoned their patients. Certain areas of town blocking others from entering with guns drawn. Law and order and health and social services collapsed.

Paul and Ann Erhlich's book "Population Bomb" laid out the over-population /dwindling natural resources/natural disaster math equation. It's playing out as they predicted although on a more drawn out time line.

Too many people, not enough resources, Earth climate and natural disaster stresses on hundreds of millions of people resulting in massive political and social upheaval.

Probably wars, revolutions. The poor masses demanding equal access to what resources there are.

Doug, I agree regards your asssessment of Biden to some important degrees.

No President yet has proposed such immediate, all out, full steam ahead measures of change in regards to our energy consumption and choices. 

I have said before though that I sense Biden is a Bloomberg Wall Street Corporate type and far from a working class progressive advocate.

Hence his recent appointment of Wall Street cozy ( $7 million in Wall Street "speaking fees?" - please ) Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary.

And if Biden truly wanted to make a hugely needed and effecting positive change in tens of millions of stressed Americans lives he would forgive most of their slave chains student debt, instead of a measly $10,000 worth. Biden's protecting the interests of the holders of that debt over the needs of their crushing burdened slaves?

Hang on to your seats. The 2020's are going to be a harrowing roller coaster ride for the U.S. and the entire world! Tremendous upheaval and change.

Living in Houston I survived the once in a century storm that hit Texas although nobody in Texas believes that it won't happen again and soon. Was without electricity for two days and without landline phone and Internet service for five days.  Still don't have water. No interior or exterior damage to my apartment. Major corporations will now rethink moving to Texas as they realize the state government is controlled by Republicans who don't believe in government. Gov. Abbott claimed all the damage was done by the progressives' Green New Deal. There is a Green Deal in Texas but if is found in the ma$$ive corruption of the GOP that has controlled the Lone Star State for decades.

 

 

 

Doug, good to hear you are safe even though you are seriously inconvenienced.

No water?  Can you not flush your toilets? No internet? Wow.

Really hard to believe how almost the entire state of Texas was brought to a life stopping stand still and with millions still without power and water and in such a short and sudden time frame way.

Really shows how vulnerable we all really are and how fragile our most important infrastructure foundations truly are in this day and age of dependency on electricity and computerized control systems.

About 5 years ago a transmission line exploded just outside of our local power plant in Moss Landing, CA. Electrical power was gone from Moss Landing to all of our Monterey Peninsula for 2 to 3 days.

I was living out of my car at the time which I would park in shopping center or gas station/convenience store parking lots, moving every 5 hours or so to avoid anyone calling the cops to report someone basically living out of their car which is legally not allowed in most areas, especially here in this high income area.

With that said, however, I got a first hand look how frantic average people got in just the course of one day when all the electric gas pumps quit working, grocery stores and convenience stores closed because their electric cash register machines quit working as well as their indoor and outside lights, their refrigeration, security cameras etc.

I watched soccer moms turn into angry mob banshees pounding on the doors of these businesses screaming for somebody to let them in to buy food, diapers, water, you name it. I saw one lady with her van filled with kids crying at the closed door of a gas station, pounding on this and wailing she didn't have enough gas to even get home!

Traffic was a slowed down disaster as all the traffic lights converted to flashing red so each car had to stop in every intersection before moving again. Angry car honking was everywhere.

I was shocked into facing a reality of how dependent we truly are on our energy infrastructure to the point that "in just one day" of this being cut off people everywhere become frantic and desperate to screaming and cursing extremes!

Kind of the same thing with the covid monster hitting us.

My wife and I are conditioned now to keeping a one or two months stock of basic need items in our home now.  Bottled water, paper towels, toilet paper, food items, bags of peanut M & Ms, chocolate covered raisins, shampoo and other toiletries, Comet, you name it.

We are SO DEPENDENT on our energy infrastructure that a one to three day loss of this and water seems to send us back into a stone age survival crisis.

Here in California it is earthquakes we fear the most to create this kind of desperate chaos scenario.

But, nature seems to be hammering us much harder in the last 25 years. Hurricanes, extreme weather temps, flooding, major area fires, tsunamis, viral pandemics!

And on top of that we are at war with each other regards politics, social values, moral values, rules, laws, growing economic divide disparities, racial fears and bias's.

Throw in traffic and too much dependency on oil. Corruption of our officials and corporate power.

Great video.

I've always loved Beverly Oliver.

I think Mark Oakes has proven with much documentary evidence how much many of the agency people have lied throughout the years regards their actions, knowledge and roles in the event.

So many examples of this.

James Hosty in his initial Warren Commission testimony withheld the 11,25,1963 incident of his destruction of his office's Oswald file papers per his boss's instructions to "get rid of it" and that file on Oswald was never made public as far as my knowledge.

Hosty took a "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God" sworn oath before his WC testimony.

Withholding an incredibly important part of the Oswald FBI truth in that WC testimony deposition is a ridiculously blatant violation of the "whole and nothing but the truth" part of that sworn testimony before the WC.

That withholding of important truths from the WC by Hosty forces a rational person to validly suspect this was not a rare occurrence.

According to journalist Seth Kantor who wrote the book "Who Was Jack Ruby" the FBI also had reams of information regards Jack Ruby. 

Information Hosty and his agency never released to anyone, especially the WC.

Years later under questioning again Hosty came clean about withholding his and his agency's actions in destroying crucial Oswald related evidence and when asked why he chose to violate the full and clear intent of his WC sworn oath in doing so he blithely and smugly states "they didn't ask." !!!

"they didn't ask?"

They did ask!

They asked Hosty clearly to "tell the truth, the WHOLE truth and NOTHING BUT the truth." So help him God!

Catholic Hosty later justified his "withholding the WHOLE truth" from the WC by inferring (if not stating) that his loyalty to his agency employer and protecting "their" interests was more important than his loyalty to his oath to the Warren Commision in perhaps the most important criminal investigation in American history and whose mission it was to find the truth about the JFK assassination and give this to the entire American society.

Those other agents who were present or even aware of the order and actions of Hosty destroying crucial Oswald evidence and never reported this were guilty of the same truth withholding.

Oakes video above just highlights this higher loyalty lying with other officials.

Al Maddox. What a character.

He was present in the immediate Dealey Plaza scene. He was present throughout at least a few Ruby related legal events during Ruby's incarceration.

He was credible and respected enough to be interviewed in the JFK memorial history venues where many people who had intimate contact with Ruby and others who were involved in the JFK event in other ways such as Parkland hospital employees also have been called to talk in these events.

This is the same man we see in the fairly well known You Tube video, making the BLOCKBUSTER claim that Jack Ruby himself pressed a personally written note into Maddox's hand while shaking it. A note that Maddox claimed contained Ruby's admission that it ( Ruby's actions in killing Oswald? ) was a conspiracy! 

It doesn't appear that retired Dallas Sheriff Al Maddox was some mentally deranged or fringe person who would make up such a mind blowing Ruby claim story.

I've always wondered why Maddox wasn't inundated with interview requests by researchers or news persons right after this incredible Ruby confession story video was released.

Ritz Carlton Raphael Cruz Jr's constant downplaying and avoidance of blame excuse making in nationally broadcast interviews is sickening in so many ways.

Here Cruz is jetting off to the playground for the rich Cancun to stay in the luxury Ritz Carlton ( which he has done many times ) in the middle of the worst and most injurious and traumatic ( by far ) disaster to ever hit his entire state of Texas with 99.9 % of 13 million of his constituents unable to even imagine such a royal lifestyle indulgence ... and only cutting it short because he got caught and exposed in his elitist escape from the pain, suffering, stress and worry his fellow Texans were induring. 

This guy has been promoting himself as a "populist" pol who really relates to and cares about all his constituents and their needs regardless of their economic standing.

What an outrageously disgusting phony.

It brings to mind the "Queen Of Mean Leona Helmsley" who famously said to one of her abused servants "only the little people pay taxes."

In Cruz's case it is obviously "only the little people" have to suffer through the most traumatic natural disaster in their history.

Ted "Ritz Carlton" Cruz.

So much to discuss regards contradictions in Robinson's ARRB testimony versus so many other eyewitnesses to JFK's autopsy.

Navy Commander James Humes sworn testimony to the ARRB on Feb. 13th, 1996.

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.

Did anyone, any person ever identified with being close to or actually carrying the casket Humes is referring to in his ARRB testimony above, ever mention seeing a broken handle on either side of it besides just him?

Of course, most everyone who handled the casket ( dozens of people - SS in Dallas, later military personnel and lastly funeral home employees from Dallas to Bethesda to the funeral home) was to some degree probably in some state of extraordinary shock and hyper focused on just their ordered duty in touching the casket and one could imagine them not thinking about or remembering a broken handle.

However Humes ( who never held the handles himself ) certainly noticed a broken one.

And if one of the "long" wooden side handles was broken enough for hyper-responsibility focused Humes to notice this just by sight and not actually touching it, then it must have been a more than minor and a hard to see break.

And one that a carrying person next to or right at the break would certainly have noticed, and that probably made his handling chore more difficult?

Also, Humes never listing a JFK brain weight on his original autopsy report and when asked why saying he just doesn't know how or why?  Please.

JFK's brain removal, handling, measuring, assessed damaged, the surgical incision made before the autopsy,  storing and then missing altogether and time lines for all these aspects of sworn testimony is so starkly contradictory with widely different takes by each person present during the JFK body arrival and autopsy... forces huge reasonable doubt about the final official JFK brain study findings.

The entire JFK brain story is a solid smoking gun affair imo.

Nikki Haley "now" publicly proclaiming supporting Trump was wrong?

Talk about "closing the barn door after the horses have already left" ...

Haley's newly strong Trump support regret comes so long after all those horses not only ran out...but breeded and had a second generation to boot!

Sorry, but talk about lost credibility disingenuousness.

The Democrats controlled the process. There was never a witness called in either of these impeachment hearings. They could admit as many witnesses as they want to and deny witnesses to the Republicans if they chose to. But of course they have to be seen as approaching some modicum of fairness. So they didn't.

As I said, I think they should have just waited and let the evidence against Trump accrue.  But they chose to have the trial.

So the Democrats caved, There's no doubt that even having Beutler by Zoom would have had a strong effect but having her testify in person would have had a stirring effect. But the reality is, ...

The reality is that even if Beutler testified as to her knowledge of Trump's unbelievable dereliction of Presidential duty to protect the victim's of his wild eyed, death threat screaming, window smashing "Brown Shirt" MAGA mob attack on the Capital building coversation with McCarthy and even if Kevin McCarthy himself publicly acknowledged the conversation in that context, the impeachment charge did not specfically include one of addressing the later non-action of Trump in letting the murderous attack go on so long without needed back up security help.

Trump's later holding back needed security help is as criminal as his months long effort ( and January 6th one ) to incite his looney base to violently storm the Capital Building and both combined would have had him convicted of the impeachement charge easily by a truly inbiased jury.

Keep in mind Trump's base never had a political agenda and was never expecting any sort of tangible political performance by Trump, he's just there to express their personal and cultural frustrations and grievances.

Absolutely true.

The best thing the Democrats can do now is just not talk about Trump, but talk about the future,talk about administering relief from the covid pandemic and it's economic displacement, and an infrastructure bill, and do their best to pull it off.

Again true.

Ted Lieu did say it right, the Democrats don't need to worry about Trump winning an election in 2024, but the Republic has to worry about Trump losing in 2024. 

I don't know anything about Cannes France except what I just read on Wiki.

Interesting history. Very high end.

From what Jim Di has occasionally shared about his real everyday life in L.A., I get the impression he is much more a working class income and budget type person and nothing close to a wealthy celebrity lifestyle one who regularly dines at Spagos, The Polo Lounge, Gucci Osteria, Melisse, etc.

A local sandwich and coffee house kind of guy? 

My guess is however, that you can probably find some affordable sandwich/coffee house shops in Cannes - no? Hope so. 

As far as a Tux, could you rent one here and take it with you?

And if at some point you are going to be swarmed by paparazzi while standing next to world famous and French adored Oliver Stone, maybe to stand out and generate your own "who's that guy standing next to the great director" buzz, you could grow a Frenchy artiste goatee and do the eccentric chic Johnny Depp fashion thing with floppy fedora, Native American medicine man bling jewelry and don a single hanging gold Christian Cross earring?

Well, whatever how you prepare for your own "Big Event" film debut just know that your loyal home boys and gals back here in Mayberry JFK forum land will be cheering one of their own with sincere best wishes.

I ( we ) hope it is all an incredibly fulfilling adventure and the beginning of continued success and exposure for not just your incredible lifetime JFK research work effort but the overall JFK truth revealing mission cause.

Ha Ha Ha ... hilarious!

Watching the Trump defense closing argument.

Compared to the all star Democratic impeachment manager's dynamic and passion energerized closing argument presentations this Republican one is 3rd string weak and rest home tired.

It's literally verbal and visual Ambien.

Watching golf on TV is more engaging and inspiring.

Kirk Galloway's quote:

"This certainly is the stuff JFK wrote about. Is this the "Profiles in courage" moment for Kevin Mc Carthy from Bakersfield? Will he do the right thing?   Ha ha ha ...joke!"

If McCarthy were to be honest about his "Who the F### do you think you are talking to" screaming match with Trump while he, his staff and office were under Trump mob attack, and admit this publicly, his political career would be completely ruined, over and he would surely become another fearful target of threatening Trump nut case followers. So, he won't.

And by the way, people hearing of McCarthy representing a district in California and probably wondering why he isn't a pink feather boa swinging, bikini and high heel shoe wearing San Francisco gay pride participant liberal should know that California is as divided geographically in political ideology and sentiment as Mississippi and Alabama are from Massachusettes and Connecticut.

It's a really weird reality. Much of California's inner state rural area cities like McCarthy's Bakersfield have always been as good ole boy "Cowboy right" as any Texas or other deep south one. Just 100 or more miles from the super liberal cities on our California Coast. 

And this KG quote gem:

"The GOP counsel Michael van der Veen was understandably upset at the prospect of calling witnesses because he was expecting to wrap this all up today. When he argues rather constipatedly, as he did today, he looks kind of like Jack Klugman!"

HA!   

Or a worried eyed, jaw dropped shocked District Attorney Hamilton Burger when Perry Mason receives a bombshell note from Paul Drake in the last minutes of a sure thing Burger sought guilty verdict trial with Mason then looking up ominously at the trial judge and saying ..."Your Honor, I have just received irrefutible evidence that will prove the innocence of my client, and expose the real guilty party in this case and ask for permission to include this into evidence"...and the Judge says " It will be so allowed ."
