  1. Saw this recent thread on the reopenkennedycase forum, never heard of this: https://reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net/t2491-lamar-waldron-interview-with-new-info-from-rfk-aide-on-jfks-autopsy

    Sorry I can’t post a link because I’m new, but please see interview with Lamar Waldron dated 22 November 2021 on Thom Hartmann’s Youtube channel.

    Waldron describes an interview he did with John Nolan (former RFK aide) who died 2 years ago.

    Key points:
    - JFK and RFK had put in place a contingency plan for any assassinations of US Government Officials and Diplomats, because of the toxic relationship with Cuba, and the JCS hawks were desperate for an excuse to invade Cuba and nuke Russia. The contingency plan was - whoever was assassinated, fly the body back to D.C. for a phoney autopsy, and put out a cover story to prevent the JCS and the public from demanding WW3.
    - this is why JFK’s autopsy couldn’t happen in Texas.
    - at Bethesda they did a quicky pre-autopsy for National Security. This is where the caskets were switched, they found another bullet in the casket from the back wound, and this is when the throat wound was enlarged (rooting around to find where the bullet went).
    - RFK directed the real autopsy by telephone from another room in Bethesda, to make sure they didn’t find any gun shots from the front etc.

    This all does give a much simpler Occam’s razor (pardon the pun) explanation for the botched autopsy, the massive cover-up, and why they quickly decided on the lone nut narrative.

    Also mentioned is that Dave Powers told Waldron and Hartmann (back in the 90’s) that he saw 2 shots from the grassy knoll. Powers was in the follow-up limo so he had a good view.

    Yep. There are a lot of myths about the difficulty of the shooting. Yet another one is the contention the shots were made easier due to the sniper's sitting on a box and using another box to support the rifle. This is phony baloney. For one, the Marines did not train people to shoot while sitting on a box. It's doubtful Oswald would have even attempted such a thing. And for two, the use of a cardboard box for support is a bozo no-no according to the Marine Guidebook. You might use a support to steady your arm but not to steady the rifle itself, which is not supposed to touch anything. So... the "scar" on Box A supposedly caused by the rifle during the shooting is not evidence for Oswald's guilt at all. It actually suggests his innocence. 

    No gunshot residue known to be on the boxes, right? And the boxes nearest the window no longer exist, right? And BTW should there have been the smell of gunpowder in the Sniper's nest?

    Exactly. As I recall, the "half dollar bills" derived from some unidentified evidence photo in the Dallas Police Department archives, no evidence it was related to the Tippit/Oswald case, but that identification was invented, probably first as a conjecture ("could be!") and then became repeated as if it was a viable near-fact. When there was just no basis for it other than invention of possibility. Apart from lack of evidence for it, it would seem the police officers who searched Oswald, if they had found something as odd as torn dollar bills, etc., would have documented that and spoken of it but, as I recall, there was none of that. It is entirely something someone found in the Dallas Police archives of a multi-year period and attached a photo caption in publication saying it was related to Oswald.

    Micah the undelivered envelope is real and a mystery, but the part about a brown paper bag in the envelope that was undelivered is total invention, not known, no evidence or basis. There was a mystery of what was mailed to Lee that was undeliverable, and the envelope was empty meaning whatever was in it had been removed by someone. But there is no evidence whatsoever that someone was mailing Lee a paper bag inside of a paper envelope. That was made up by someone who said "could be!" and that was then transmitted by someone else as "it was a paper bag!" It was invented out of thin air.

    Ah, kind of like the "half dollar bill" thing John Armstrong was talking about, narratively with Oswald recieving the half bills.

    From that link:

    "When the bus turned left, Tippit would follow the bus to Jefferson Blvd., probably to make sure that Oswald boarded a 2nd bus and arrived at the Texas Theater. But two things happened—#1) Oswald got off of the Marsalis bus on Elm St. when it was stalled in traffic, before the two police officers boarded the bus. I believe that Westbrook and Croy were the two police officers who boarded the Marsalis Ave bus (stopped near Elm and Houston) intending to locate and perhaps murder HARVEY Oswald."

    Why would Tippit follow the bus to make sure Oswald made it to the theater if Westbrook was boarding the bus to kill Oswald?

    Also, the times posted in this article regarding when Tippit's murder was reported to the dispatcher are wildly incorrect.

    There is bunch of other speculative fiction as well. Pretty much impossible for me to take this article seriously.

    I mean, yeah, but what's this about a second paper bag? Where did this information come from? Sounds like gold if Armstrong's summary is correct.

    The day before the assassination, on Thursday evening, November 21, HARVEY Oswald went to Ruth Paine's home in Irving, TX  allegedly to visit his wife and children. However, the real purpose of his visit was probably to pick up and open a package that the conspirators mailed to him at the Paine's home. But this package was not delivered to the Paine's because of insufficient postage. The package was held at the Irving post office and, after the assassination, was opened by US Postal Inspectors.

     

    The contained a long brown paper bag, similar in size and appearance to the paper bag allegedly used to carry the rifle into the TSBD. If Oswald had received and opened this package, he would have followed instructions and probably put his lunch in this long bag. He would then have carried this long bag into the Book Depository on the morning of November 22. This bag, with Oswald’s fingerprints, would then have been placed on the 6th floor of the Book Depository and identified as the long bag that Oswald used to carry the rifle into the building.

     

    WHAT? Is this real? Is there something I'm missing, but how is this not a holy grail smoking gun.

    Effing Max Boot. This guy has been on the Pentagon payroll, and for 20 years advised staying the course in Afghanistan. 

    "More (JFK) documents remain to be released, but what has come out so far has done nothing to shake the conclusion reached by all credible investigators that Oswald was the lone gunman."---Max Boot

    Yes, except the ultra-cautious HSCA in 1979 concluded the JFKA had likely been a conspiracy--and that was before even more evidence emerged thanks to Stone's film.  

    Boot is also author of the stupendously awful  “The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam.”

    Yes, we would-a, could-a, should-a won in Vietnam. Max Boot knows. He knows about crawling around in jungles and Operation Phoenix success stories---from his armchair in the Council of Foreign Relations. 

    Then also, 

    COMMENTARY

    "In Afghanistan, the world is crumbling"

    By Max Boot, Washington Post

     Aug 11, 2021 Updated Aug 12, 2021

    Gee, the Afghan nation of 40 million did not fire one shot against the 70,000-man Taliban army. After 20 years if US tutelage and listening to Max Boot.  We just needed better counter-insurgency! 

    If ever there was a reverse weather vane to watch, it is Max Boot. The globalist vision, financed by US taxpayers, for the benefit of multinationalist elites. 

    Stay in Afghanistan! Vietnam! Run South America! Change Cuba! Africa needs intervention! More fleets for the Indo-Pacific! 

    If the Dulles brothers have a successor....it is Max Boot. 

    And did Boot ever spend even a few weeks looking into JFKA evidence for himself? 

    But the WaPo will give him a platform.

    I would welcome some trenchant questioning of JFK: Revisited. I think it would easily stand up to scrutiny, and if an issue or two emerged, so be it. 

    But what we get is below-the-belt hit pieces---in the WaPo.

    Okay, this is officially the worst article ever written about this film.

    Thank you so much for your answer and new ideas. The tubes were reportedly administered by Drs. Ronald Jones, Charles Baxter, and Paul Peters. Nurses Margaret Hinchliffe and Diana Bowron said they helped the doctors in the task. Nurse Patricia Hutton said that afterwards, she helped remove the tubes from the body. Do we have a suspect list here? Maybe with one or two of them just using their hands to "hold" the tubes up to the chest incisions but not into them?

  9. Does anybody find it possible that some of the Parkland staff intentionally lied about the chest tubes in an effort to show that they tried everything they could try, and maybe so nobody would try blaming them for letting the President die?

    Why can't Jim also go on another time? They both have different ways of discussing. Rogan has all kinds of guests, famous and not so famous. The more the better.

    Joe Rogan is so famous that, if he wanted to, he could spend a few thousand to commission a Dale-Myers-esque study of the photographic evidence in Dealey Plaza to determine whether or not the Single Bullet Theory is true. I bet he could not put his money where his mouth is. Who knows, maybe whoever comes out with a perfect photographic study will be internationally recognized as having debunked the official story.

     

    Of all the money being spent on promoting JFK conspiracy theories, most of it should be spent on first studying the Dealey Plaza evidence to see whether or not it's a waste of time to question the Single Bullet theory.

    Are they sharp looking edges around the circular opening (bottom left) actually soft, like tape? It looks like the top left edge is bent back or flopping back. 

    Ah, that's probably the real answer. But from Googling trach tube models, I had a hard time finding information on this kind of tip. From the images I've seen so far, none of them have that "star-shaped tape". Maybe it's just a soft colored part of plastic that was originally supposed to be overlaying a transparent tracheal balloon, but the balloon part was ripped off.

    This is what the films says:

    Burkley signed the autopsy descriptive sheet with a bullet in the back at the level of T-3. And he also signed Kennedy's death certificate, which also placed that wound in the back. That death certificate is not in the Warren Commission volumes, and the descriptive sheet in the Commission volumes does not have Burkley's signature. 

    cleardot.gif

    Burkley had custody of the autopsy face sheet on 11/24/1963-11/26/1963 when copies of the documents were being made for sharing with the Secret Service. He could have written that on the face sheet after he made the first copies.
