  1. All this ends with the statement of one still living person who was on the TSBD front steps facing Elm Street before, during and after the assassination....

    What has Buell Wesley Frazier told us over the past 60 years about who was 4 feet away from him in these films????

    Has or can anyone prove he has lied? 

    Has anyone asked Buell if he has left a statement/recording/video with any attorney to be read out/shown to the public upon his passing?

  2. Yeh, I'm a little uncertain as to what would happen in the situation you propose above Robert.... i kind of agree that nothing much would drastically take place in the first 72 hours...people calling for investigations and show us the evidence for a week or so.....but then people would just trudge forward with their lives.

    All of the participants would be dead, so no way to take action against them personally for JFK's assassination and the cover up that was performed. Maybe we could tar n feather Gerald Posner and DVP and march them down streets in every US City while we ring a bell and cry out "Shame, Shame".

    Perhaps if the current joint chiefs of staff or the overall current military brass thought all politicians were idiots and they knew best, maybe just maybe if they had the mindset of JFK's 61-63 military leaders, we could see the possibility of a military coup in modern day USofA...but since i couldn't  even name one of the current joint chief's,  i dont think they are that upset with their lot in life.

    Would the CIA be defunded and shut down...No. Would it be repackaged-Yes.  Could ChatGPI be installed as the next President? Where is SkyNet? Has it been formed Yet?

    I'm just glad i live on an island a long way away....

    Thanks Tom... the more in this the better I think.  I am leaving this to @Keyvan Shahrdar  

    @Steve Thomas

    Is this the result of the API search?

    FYI - 
    { "total": 1, "results": [ { "objectFilename": "Warren Commission Document 2094", "description": "Transcript of an interview with Fletcher Prouty", "content": { "text": "Fletcher Prouty was interviewed by the Warren Commission on December 13, 1963. Prouty stated that he was a former Air Force colonel who had worked in the Office of Special Operations. Prouty stated that he had knowledge of the assassination plot against President Kennedy." }, "source": "Warren Commission", "dateCreated": "1963-12-13", "dateModified": "1963-12-13" } ] }

    Folks i have serious problem with this AI tracking of statements......point above the prouty information......it says Prouty was interviewed on December 13th 1963.....but:

    "On December 13, 1963, Congress passed Senate Joint Resolution 137 (Public Law 88-202) authorizing the Commission to subpoena witnesses and obtain evidence concerning any matter relating to the investigation. The resolution also gave the Commission the power to compel the testimony of witnesses by granting immunity from prosecution to witnesses testifying under compulsion. The Commission, however, did not grant immunity to any witness during the investigation.

    The Commission acted promptly to obtain a staff to meet its needs. J. Lee Rankin, former Solicitor General of the United States, was sworn in as general counsel for the Commission on December 16, 1963."

    So prior to being given subpoena power or having a general council, Prouty was contact and asked to appear and give testimony? How would they get to prouty so quickly.....when was the commission members selected even finalised...whatvdate was their first meeting?

    All this info coming from AI searches seems like a huge jumble of facts/dates and who said what....most of it seems debatable to me from what im seeing poted.

    It's complicated, Adam.

    Many of us would prefer to see a younger, qualified liberal Democratic torch bearer, like California Governor Gavin Newsom, emerge in 2024.

    That said, it's critically important for American liberals to prevent a further regression toward reactionary, plutocratic, right wing governance in the U.S.-- the GOP suppression of voting, of women's rights, LGBT rights, environmental protection, and their "trickle down" tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

    The right wing propaganda focus on Biden's age has been relentless, and it obscures Biden's effective record of governance since January of 2021.  His knowledge of policy issues dwarfs Trump's abysmal ignorance and ineptitude.

    As for RFK, Jr., he has had no experience in governance, and he has exhibited a series of flawed judgments, especially in matters of science and public health.  He's not our guy, and has mainly been promoted by the right wing Aussie propaganda mogul Rupert Murdoch.

    What is especially off-putting about RFK,Jr., to date, is his reluctance to criticize Donald Trump and his destructive, white supremacist MAGA cult.

    These are the guys who attacked the U.S. Congress on January 6, 2021, to block the certification of Biden's election-- an unprecedented crime against American democracy.

     

    Hi W.

    Mate i think RFK Jr has avoided statements or attacks on former President Trump and his MAGA followers because that's not his current fight....he has to get the Democratic party nomination away from President Biden....no need to waste media coverage and support $$$ attacking trump when he has to get his party behind him and not a sitting president. 

    That's a tough ask...but how can you honestly say that in 2,3 or 4 years from now Joe Biden's physical and mental health will be strong enough to govern anything more then a pudding cup......(pop-tart...yes i know those suckers can be hard to open).

    You know what might be on the cards here is a Biden/Kennedy Jr ticket V The Donald/?  

    Would that ticket bring democrats out in massive numbers....president Joe to show a Kennedy how to get things done and step in if Joe fells its all to hard in 18 months 24 months after the election is won and trump sent packing....???

    Do you always make up random lies about people that you know nothing about? Seems like a bizarre way to live your life...

    Hi Matt, no making up lies here.... I've spent the last 7 years of my life working as a qualified degree level disability support worker, dealing with Dementia and Alzheimer's patients daily...so from what i see on TV news reports, youtube/twitter/facebook/instagram posts your current president certainly displays symptoms of both.....how much time have you spent with people suffering from these shitty afflictions so your medical opinion of giving president Biden a pass has any weight????

    So, when every other Presidential candidate goes through the microscope of press coverage it's perfectly normal, but with RFK Jr. it's Mockingbird?

    Bold analysis there, fella. .....

    Thanks Matt now why dont you go read the NY Times reporter Mr Weissman's previous 7 articles like i did and tell me if you can guess his political affiliations....you could just read the articles headlines if your pressed for time...they are all available on the times webpage....

    See, we don't coronate people here in the U.S. because of their name. We hold elections. If RFK Jr. does or says something stupid, he will get called out on it. That's the kind of job the U.S. Presidency is.  Prime Minister's are also elected in Britain, Australia and Canada....only Kings and Queens get coronations.....re:RFK Jr statements: Thats fine if he gets quoted correctly and the situation he made any statements in is quantified when they are written about!!!! Thats just responsible journalism. 

    Anyone that can't handle something that basic, is perhaps too thin-skinned for the job.       Dont see RFK Jr running away Matt...pretty safe to say he has more courage than 99% of other US politicians and you and me put together Matt.

    Goodluck to you buddy.

     

  6. Good lord, lets re-elect the 80 year old who displays signs of early on set Dementia and Alzheimer's disease to run your country for another 4 years.

    Oh, and since your current president is a medical miracle operating at full mental capacity without the assistance of any drug...

    Whom do you the american voter believe is actually making the decisions behind the scenes for your incapacitated figurehead and really running the United States of America....because from every other country in the western world not many of us think it's Joe Biden.

    God bless America....you have a chance at change, progress and a new future with RFK Jr and the intellectual people he would bring together to lead your country but i fear you will squander that chance on an 80 plus year old vegetable and blame the rest of the world for your troubles for the next 25 years or 60 years(1963-2023).

    "Opportunity comes once in a lifetime,Yo! So dont lose yourself in the music and flow, you only get one shot." said Aristotle or Shakespeare or Chaucer or Dylan or some ancient deep thinker.

    Good luck, the world and your allies are watching.

  7. Hi Mark, thats the intriguing nature of the question...what would each of us here as members/guests/readers of this forum do? You would expect most of us here, if dropped into this situation could remember a great deal of facts regarding the assassination...possibly a dozen or so names of key players around the Kennedy white house and a dozen or so suspected people who may have been involved in the assassination...

    So the tough decision is....do you want to be a fly on the wall and watch history happen in front of you (perhaps take a few clandestine photographs at key locations at key times just for your own curiosity OR do you use your knowledge of events before/during/after the assassination and try and prevent it from taking place).

    I just thought the Question " what would i do given that 48 hours prior opportunity " was an interesting challenge for all of us that visit this forum.....no doubt we would get many different pathways followed by many different people....i wish David Lifton was still with us, i would of loved to have read his reply to such a Question. 

    AJ.

  8. After some thoughts on what i could personally do to physically stop the assassination,  my thoughts turned to who are my allies to protect JFK...i couldnt trust DPD or Sherriffs department,  local FBI and Secret Service would be a risk also trying to explain what i knew was going to happen. So my thoughts went to JFK's immediate friends/staff/colleagues. 

    My decision was to spend the first 24 hours trying to reach Kenny O Donnell or Dave Powers... they would be in Houston Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, then onto Fort Worth Thursday night...maybe get a letter or note to them disclosing some events or names nobody outside their circle would know to peak their interest/gain some credibility and arrange a meeting. 

    If that failed I'd still have some time to take matters into my own hands...

  9. So i was having dinner with a group of friends a few nights ago, some of who knew i have enjoyed researching the JFK assassination for a long time now. I have been asked many times what i think happened,  who did it, etc etc many times. However on this night i got a Question that has floored me for the past few days...

    One of my friends wives said  "Its the morning 48 hours before the assassination takes place and your in Dallas Texas, what would i do to change the world". She completely threw me...I'd never considered such a Question...what would i do, knowing what i know today in 2023, if by some miracle i found myself standing in the lobby of the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas at noon Wednesday November 20th, 1963.

    I've given it some thought now...i had to decide a couple of things regarding what my actions would be, who would believe me, who would i be able to trust if i told them what i know today regarding what was going to happen. Could i trust people not to just have me locked up....would it be better to take matters into my own hands and try and eliminate several players by myself in that 48 hours.

    Its a great Question....so what would you do? You've got 48 hours to change the world...

  10. Kilduff:  " it was a simple case of a bullet right thru the brain " points with one finger to his own right forehead above the right eye near his hairline.....this 30 minutes after JFK has been declared dead in trauma room 1. 

    No cover story out yet, just truths yet to be concealed or retracted. But hey, what does he know, its not like he was in the room and near JFK.

    Just to be clear, I have no idea if Prouty was a plant, an infiltrator, etc., and I am not saying he was. I believe it is possible that he was, but that's as far as I would go. It's a possibility. However, I think it's more likely that he was simply a fraud, an oddball, and a publicity seeker. 

    If the plotters had wanted to plant an infiltrator in the research community who would do enormous damage to the case for conspiracy, they could not have found anyone who could have done a better job than Prouty did (and is still doing through those who continue to defend him and who use him as a source). 

    Hi Michael, 

    Perhaps you've never heard of the late Gary Mack....

    Gary Mack, curator of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and an authority on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Wednesday. He was 68.

    He had been suffering a “rare and aggressive” form of cancer, according to his wife, Karin Strohbeck, with whom he lived in Arlington.

    Mack, who once influenced a congressional inquiry on the JFK assassination, joined the museum in 1994 after a career in radio and television. He had long professed a belief, or at least a suspicion, that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in killing the president.

    “As conspiracy theorists like to say, you’re either a lone-nutter or a CT — conspiracy theorist,” Mack once said.

    Despite Mack’s “CT” leanings, those who believe Oswald acted alone were among Mack’s staunchest admirers. They respected his open-mindedness and the fact that he embarked, often aggressively, on detailed missions to debunk conspiracy theories as the best way of reaching the truth.

    "I doubt if anybody anywhere knew more details about all aspects of the JFK assassination and aftermath than Gary," said Hugh Aynesworth, author of November 22, 1963: Witness to History. Aynesworth is among those who believe Oswald acted alone.

    Mack helped unravel “some of the more ridiculous offerings,” Aynesworth said. “His work at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza was beyond exemplary and will be sorely missed. Within hours of his death, I had three phone calls from European newsmen who were stunned and planning coverage.”

    Gerald Posner, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in writing perhaps the definitive book on the assassination, Case Closed, said he had known Mack for 23 years.

    “He was always a remarkable source of information about the case and a wise guide who helped me avoid the many investigative pitfalls and black holes of JFK’s murder,” Posner said. “That we did not agree on the role and sole culpability of Oswald did not prevent him from always finding the time in his otherwise busy schedule to answer my many queries. His top priority was simply searching for the truth in the case.”

    Dave Perry, a former insurance adjuster and one of Mack’s closest friends, collaborated often in debunking theories.

    With Perry’s help, Mack proved in the early 1990s that a story naming a deceased Dallas police officer as the grassy knoll gunman was bogus. A young man named Ricky White said he could prove that his late father, Roscoe White, had fired the final, fatal shot as part of a conspiracy. Aynesworth later credited Mack and Perry with one of the more important put-downs in the history of assassination research, saying, “Dave and Gary disemboweled the Ricky White story.”

    Many credited Mack with knowing more basic facts about Kennedy’s death than anyone.

    “It’s not that he’s academically, archivally trained,” the late Jeff West, then the Sixth Floor director, said in 1999. “It’s just that his expertise is amazing. Somebody can bring in a shoe box of old photographs, and just by looking at them, he can tell you the time, the location and who the people are in the pictures. He has so much in his head, I’d like to figure out a way to download his head. Gary’s knowledge of the subject is nothing short of encyclopedic.”

    Mack’s reputation extended well beyond Dallas.

    G. Robert Blakey, chief counsel and staff director of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, credited Mack with playing a key role in putting together evidence that, in 1979, prompted the committee to conclude with a “95 percent or greater” degree of probability that a conspiracy existed. The finding had to do with recordings found in old Dallas police files. Mack came up with the theory that the assassination might have been recorded by Dallas police and brought it to Blakey’s attention.

    Although it remains controversial and was later rebutted by the National Academy of Sciences, Mack’s idea led to this: A recording taken from a microphone strapped to an officer’s motorcycle in Dealey Plaza and transferred to a Dictabelt machine at police headquarters indicated there were four shots fired at the president, according to the acoustic sound study conducted by the House committee.

    That prompted the committee to conclude that, of the four shots fired, three came from behind and one from the grassy knoll — which missed. If four shots were fired, the committee reasoned, there had to have been two gunmen.

    The Warren Commission concluded that only three shots were fired and that all came from the $12.95 Mannlicher-Carcano mail-order rifle owned by Oswald and found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.

    The best lesson he ever learned about the assassination, Mack said, “is not to get locked into anything. … There’s a lot of nonsense out there. Part of our job is to clear away some of that stuff and get some straight answers.”

    Born in Oak Park, Ill., Mack was given the name Lawrence Alan Dunkel. During his days as a disc jockey, he changed his name to Gary Mack at the request of a radio station program manager, who felt it would be catchier.

    Mack is survived by his wife; a sister, Susan Coleman of Las Vegas; a son, Stephen Dunkel of Arlington, Va.; and his grandchildren, Nolan and Violet Dunkel. Details on services are pending.
