Going through BEST EVIDENCE, I was surprised to not see any reference to the well-remembered joke from the 1967 issue of The Realist about LBJ putting his penis inside of JFK's tracheotomy wound. I did not know that joke was so old. This joke seems to have influenced the zeitgeist beyond just concerns about the JFK assassination. The writer even claimed rumors of the story being mistaken for truth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Realist https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.28043511?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents

Could Hugh Aynesworth just be a glorified Hugh Huggins?

Thank you. I am trying to gather as much information as possible so I can make a full list of information relevant to the case for an altered throat wound.

Dr. Lito Porto is still alive, right? And also what about Dr. Donald Curtis, Dr. Gene Akin AKA Solomon Ben-Israel, Dr. Phillip Williams, and Nurse Phyllis Hall?

Doug Horne and David Mantik both agree that the white spot looks like some brain matter coming out of a small hole underneith it. The HSCA said it just looked like a piece of brain matter lying on top of the hair, no mention of anything that looks like a hole.

Hope the website business gets sorted out.

Sounds like it would be referenced everywhere that talks about the medical evidence, but this is apparently a rare piece of media that we don't know if we have any record of. Where is Rick Russo?

Why are there so many interesting HSCA medical interviews that we still have no digital copies of? One day I can go to DC to scan all of these things but I would need to gather resources first.

From JFK and the Unspeakable: Dr. Perry's retraction was not only manipulated but given under stress. He had been threatened beforehand by "the men in suits," specifically the Secret Service. As Dallas Secret Service agent Elmer Moore would admit to a friend years later, he "had been ordered to tell Dr. Perry to change his testimony. " Moore said that in threatening Perry, he acted " on orders from Washington and Mr. Kelly of the Secret Service Headquarters. "555 Moore confessed his intimidation of Dr. Perry to a University of Washington graduate student, Jim Gochenaur, with whom he became friendly in Seattle in 1970. Moore told Gochenaur he "had badgered Dr. Perry" into "making a flat statement that there was no entry wound in the neck."556 Moore admitted, " I regret what I had to do with Dr. Perry. "557 However, with his fellow agents, he had been given "marching orders from Washington. " He felt he had no choice: "I did everything I was told, we all did everything we were told, or we'd get our heads cut off. "558 In the cover-up, the men in suits were both the intimidators and the intimidated. [...Notes] 555 .

He frequently references one book “of the 32,000 out there” on the event – JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters, by James W. Douglass, which argues that military and intelligence agencies in the U.S. are responsible for President Kennedy’s assassination and the subsequent cover-up. According to Douglass, those organizations were upset by JFK’s evolving stance on the Cold War and, desperate to win, they plotted Kennedy’s death because he was “getting in the way” of their plans for a nuclear strike. For McClelland, that book seems to offer answers to the questions he’s been grappling with over the last fifty years – in particular, why his colleague, Dr. Perry, who also treated the President that day, would never speak of the assassination (“If you ever even mentioned the assassination [to Dr. Perry], he would cloud up and say, ‘I don’t talk about that,’ period.”) If you take Douglass at his word, a Secret Service agent approached Perry shortly after he’d given a description of JFK’s wounds to the media – when he’d pointed to his neck and seemed to imply that the entrance wound was there. That agent supposedly threatened Perry, ordering him never to talk about the assassination again…”or else,” Dr. McClelland emphasizes.

Let's see, we have how many instances of medical witnesses being coerced against talking... 1. The story of Dr. Perry being stopped after his first press conference by a man in black who said "don't ever say that about, about that being an entrance wound" 2. Dr. Charles Baxter threatening to ruin the medical careers of anybody at Parkland who made a dime talking about the assassination 3. The autopsy pathologists being influenced by members of the military and the Kennedy family 4. The Navy gag order 5. Arlen Specter telling Dr. Ronald Jones about the unidentified "non-credible witnesses" to a gunman shooting from the front 6. Humes, Boswell, Stringer and Ebersole signing the document that said "Humes, Boswell, and Stringer signed a report stating "The X-rays and photographs described and listed above include all the X-rays and photographs taken by us during the autopsy, and we have no reason to believe that any other photographs or X-rays were made during the autopsy" despite claiming to remember other pictures being taken. Ramsey Clark claimed that he started re-investigating the assassination to "get ri of some of the trash" in Josiah Thompson's Six Seconds in Dallas 7. The HSCA's Dr. Charles Petty calling Humes a "god-damned jackass" for not agreeing with their theory of a higher location for the small head wound 8. Gary Cornwell trying to coerce Humes to agree with the same thing Any more?

No such video. Sounds like you might be thinking of... PBS, Nova, 1988, Who Shot President Kennedy? [link 2] KRON, 11/18/1988, JFK: An Unsolved Murder [link 2] [link 3] 4/6/1991 Dallas conference [video, part 1] [video, part 2]

The JFK Lancer website is hardly working. Can't buy any DVDs.

On here and in the signet edition of Best Evidence, you mention a 1988 interview of Dr. Perry by PBS Nova. But Dr. Perry does not appear anywhere on that program, and I can't find any reference to such a Perry interview. Is this a garbled reference to Perry's 1992 JAMA interview?

We need an ebook version of the 5 volumes of Inside the Assassination Records Review Board that adds all of the updates Doug has talked about before.

Is there any chance McClelland is referring to something from Beyond The Fence Line? I have heard him mention that book before. I've never heard of any book that contains this story of Perry being warned.

Do you know of any special source for this information?

I just found a 2014 McClelland interview where he says the following, 24:06 in: https://www.parklandsurgical.com/home/2014/7/25/a-conversation-with-dr-robert-mcclelland Audience member: I read that Mac Perry originally had said that he characterized the neck wound as a quote 'wound of entrance'. And I also know that subsequent to that, to his dying day, he never spoke about it again. McClelland: He would not say anything to anybody, me or any other- anybody at all, he was just completely- said nothing. Recently I read a book out of all of the some three thousand books that are written about this, and apparently, according to the author of this book, someone had come up to Dr. Perry after he gave his initial testimony- or, not testimony, but initial interview to the many newsmen that were gathered in the grand rounds room at Parkland right after this event happened. And Dr. Perry had made a comment about this being possibly an entrance wound in his neck. And according to this book, and this again is, you know, maybe [inaudible], maybe not. Someone with an American flag in his lapel, you know, you know, you know, Secret Service man, maybe not, came up to him and he said 'Dr. Perry', he said, 'whatever you do, do not ever say that that was an entrance wound again if you know what's good for you'. Other than that, Not only did Dr. Perry never say that was an entrance wound, he never said anything, period, at all about it to me or to anybody else. And he left town right after this event and went down to South Texas where his mother-in-law lived.

Yeah, Sibert and O'Neill couldn't have stayed any later than 12:00 AM, and we know the restoration of the body lasted until around 3:30 AM. O'Neill couldn't be telling the truth when he described seeing Kennedy laying in his casket fixed up to look like he was sleeping.

O'Neill was almost certainly lying when he described staying at the autopsy long enough to see the restoration https://www.rareddit.com/r/JFKsubmissions/comments/drvi5r/discussing_jfks_torso_wounds_part_24_oneills/

The government itself has acknowledged that the autopsy was grossly inadequate. Forensic science then and now requires a higher standard for the autopsy of a President. There was also the law broken in Texas. The only question is whether this inadequacy was by design to help the lone gunman narrative. We also have solid evidence that members of the Kennedy family were at fault for their disregard towards those gathering forensic evidence. There is enough sworn testimony to present this case, and there is also a lot of juicy information contained in unsworn statements through the past years. It wouldn't actually matter if a new autopsy uncovered no new information, because it isn't really a choice whether or not a new autopsy needs to be done. This problem is similar to how 9/11 truthers can legally prove, citing stuff like the NFPA standards, that the WTC did not receive a proper arson investigation.

What is the most legally feasible way an exhumation of JFK could occur? Also, would it ever be possible for an Oswald to legally demand the official rifle be given to them? You can use the government's evidence against them, to claim that Oswald owned the rifle, but use forensic evidence to establish the lack of basis for calling it a murder weapon. Imagine how much that'd sell for.

From the draft of High Treason 2: Since he was my partner, I know that his M.O. is denial. Now you see it, now you don't. He has for a long time played a shell game with this evidence. At times I was shown different views of the back of the had. In one of them, there is clearly a line of small black crescents, a half an inch long and a half an inch apart all the way around where he says there is a matte line--just as though a can opener had been operating there. I ask him what that is--"I don't know" he responds. Sometime later he hauls out a picture of the back of the head again, and I can't find the crescents. "Where are the crescents?" "I don't know. You imagined that. There aren't any." Well, Mark Crouch saw them too.

Interesting. What about the claim that Groden would play charades with his own personally-altered photos of JFK?
