  • Chapter 7 the Assassination
    Chapter 7: November 22, 1963 Chapter 7 The assassination 1 Introduction Our interest in reviewing the information that is today available to us regarding the events of November 22, 1963, quite naturally focuses on the question as to whether President Kennedy was killed by a lone assassin or by a conspiracy. Other questions pale by comparison to this first and most important question. As we review the eyewitness testimony, we see that the conclusion is not difficult to reach -- that indeed, the President was shot both from the front and the rear. This conclusion can be reached by a consideration of several kinds of evidence: v where the eyewitnesses heard the shots coming from; v eyewitness accounts of the spacing of the shots, which came too close together for the lone assassin hypothesis to be maintained; v the total number of shots was too large for the lone assassin hypothesis to be maintained; v the early shot hitting the President was not the same as the shot hitting Governor Connally, invalidating the lone assassin hypothesis. 1 The route through Dallas The final decision for the President's route in Dallas was determined by Secret Service agent Winston Lawson, on Thursday, November 14.1 The WCR states that "Lawson was not specifi- cally instructed [on Nov. 8] to select the parade route, but he understood that this was one of his functions. Even before the Trade Mart had been definitely selected, Lawson and Sorrels began to consider the best motorcade route from Love Field to the Trade Mart. On November 14, Law- son and Sorrels attended a meeting at Love Field and on their return to Dallas drove over the route which Sorrels believed best suited for the proposed motorcade."2 The route was reviewed and approved by Chief of Police Jesse Curry, Asst.

    CBS NEWS INQUIRY "The Warren Report" Part IV as broadcast over the CBS TELEVISION NETWORK Wednesday, June 28, 1967 10:00-11:00 PM, EDT With CBS NEWS Correspondents Walter Cronkite Dan Rather Eric Sevareid and KRLD-TV News Director Eddie Barker EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Leslie Midgley 1967. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. All rights reserved. WALTER CRONKITE: Good evening. For the past three nights we have been examining the circumstances of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On Sunday, we returned to Dealey Plaza to recreate that fatal motorcade ride beneath the windows of the Texas School Book Depository. Believing that rifle tests conducted by the Warren Commission were less than adequate, we conducted new tests, more closely simulating the conditions of the actual murder. We found hitherto undiscovered evidence in film of the murder itself, that the killer had more time than the minimal 5.6 seconds indicated in the Warren Report to get the shots off. And we concluded that beyond reasonable doubt, Oswald was indeed at least one of the killers. But was there more than one? On Monday night, we interviewed eyewitnesses who said all the shots came from the School Book Depository. And others equally insistent that there were shots from the grassy knoll overlooking the motorcade itself. We tested more exhaustively than did the Warren Commission the extremely controversial single bullet theory, found that one bullet could, indeed, have wounded both the President and Governor Connally. We heard autopsy surgeon, James Humes, break three and a half years of silence to report that he has re-examined the X-rays and photographs of the President's body, and still has no doubt that all the shots struck from behind.

    1 THE ZAPRUDER FILM CONTROVERSY By David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. The Mantik View [Editor’s note: In this essay, David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D., who has undertaken the most extensive and detailed studies of its internal content and other properties, including comparisons of the film to other copies, of the film to other photographs and films, and of the film to eyewitness reports, in the history of the study of the assassination of JFK, provides a framework for understanding and exploring the questions raised by the lack of authenticity of the film, which has been extensively edited using highly sophisticated techniques. Those who wish to pursue this issue in greater detail should see the studies on this topic in Assassination Science (1998), including Mantik's transformational work.] It is misleading to claim that scientific advances and scholarly experiments can cause all photo fakes to be unmasked. Questions about authenticity remain. Many photos that once were considered genuine have ‘recently been determined to be faked. The authenticity of some is still being debated… -Dino Brugioni. 2 CONTENTS A VISIT TO THE SOUTH: DOES HISTORY REPEAT? 4 DOES HISTORY REPEAT?

  • The Kennedy Solution
    THE KENNEDY SOLUTION On the 27th, April, 1961. The President of the United States of America. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (29/5/1917----22/11/1963.) Gave an address at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City. To the American Newspaper Publishers Association. Entitled “ The President and the Press.” Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen; I appreciate very much your generous invitation to be here tonight. You bear heavy responsibilities these days and an article I read some time ago reminded me of how particularly heavily the burdens of present day events bear upon your profession. You may remember that in 1851 The New York Herald Tribune under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley employed as its London correspondent an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx. We are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 per installment, a salary which he and Engles ungratefully labeled as the “lousiest petty bourgeois cheating.” But when all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause that would bequeath the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution and the cold war… I have selected as the title of my remarks tonight “The President and the Press.” Some may suggest that this would be more naturally worded “The President Verses the Press.” But those are not my sentiments tonight… I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of common danger.
