The document details how Oswald obtained the crucial informationneeded to plan the murder of JFK. Yet the Warren Commission chose not to act on this knowledge. Not to imestigatc further.

The Warren Commission even chose not to include this most startling revelation in its official report to the American people. Why not? Perhaps because the information would have pointed directly to a conspiracy in the murder — a conspiracy involving elements high within the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service and Ameri- ca's business-industrial community. This is what Mae Brussel!, one of the country's leading assassination experts, believes. And there is abundant evidence still around after nearly 14 years to back her up. But before one can fully compre- hend the importance of the evi- dence. it's necessary to examine the "curious" employment record of Lee Harvey Oswald. a record that culminated with his strategic place- ment at the Texas School Book Depository.

Wilkes, Jr. - November 14, 2018 Fifty-five years ago, at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by hidden sniper fire in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, TX. This terrible event is still enveloped in mystery. The alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, stridently denied committing the crime, never received legal representation, and was suspiciously murdered while in police custody two days after the assassination. Inept pathologists botched President Kennedy’s autopsy, to put it mildly. Witnesses and persons of interest soon began dying violent or suspicious deaths. The first official investigation of the assassination, undertaken by the Warren Commission, was hurried, inadequate and stacked in favor of the theory that Oswald was the lone assassin. The second official investigation,12 years later, by a select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, was hamstrung by political bickering, time and money limitations, unavailability of or failures of memory by witnesses, loss of evidence (including intentional destruction of documents), and the CIA’s refusal to meaningfully cooperate with the committee.

  • A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317)
    A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317) Hany Farid Department of Computer Science 6211 Sudikoff Lab Dartmouth College Hanover NH 03755 603.646.2761 (tel) 603.646.1672 (fax) [email protected] Abstract Claims of a broader conspiracy behind U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination have persisted for the past nearly five decades. The Zapruder film is considered to be the most complete recording of JFK's assassination. Many have claimed that this 8mm film was manipulated to conceal evidence of a second shooter, which would invalidate the claim that a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for JFK's assassination. Here we con- sider the viability of one specific claim of postproduction tampering in the Zapruder film. 1. Introduction United States President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 while his procession was driving through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Shortly afterwards, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the crime. Because he was killed before his trial, and the conclusions of the Warren Commission[1] have been challenged, many questions surrounding the assassination remained unanswered. Since this time, numerous theories have circulated suggesting that Oswald acted as part of a larger criminal con- spiracy involving a variety of government, international, or criminal groups. Abraham Zapruder captured the most complete documentation of the events of November 22nd with his Bell & Howell 8mm roll film camera. After Figure 1: Frame 317 of the Zapruder film (left), and a magnified view of JFK { the authenticity of the shadow on the back of JFK's head has been called into question.

  • November 22 1963 the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A
    November 22 1963 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A Lincoln City Libraries Booklist compiled on the 50th Anniversary of the Historic Events At 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, while traveling in an open-air motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America, was assassinated by gunfire from the Texas School Book Depository, alongside the presidential motorcade route. Arrested later that day was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the U.S. in 1962. Arraigned for the murder of Kennedy and Dallas police office J.D. Tippit, Oswald himself was killed by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby while he was being transferred between jails. An official governmental investigation into the assassination – the President’s Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, chaired by Earl Warren (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States) – concluded in an 889-page report, released in September 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, as did Ruby in later killing Oswald. Conspiracy theories have abounded in the decades following the Warren Commission’s findings, and numerous other investigations of the assassination have resulted in a variety of other “official” opinions. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, formed in 1976, released a report in 1979 that concluded that although Oswald was, indeed the “lone shooter”, there may very well have been a conspiracy behind his actions to assassinate Kennedy.

  • Lamar Waldron, the Hidden History of the JFK Assassination
    Review of The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination by Daesia Nisbett Published in 2013, The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination, written by Lamar Waldron, details one of the most controversial crimes of the twentieth century. The book goes on to debunk the public’s belief that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered JFK. Lamar Waldron draws on exclusive interviews and incorporates information never published before to solve the notorious murder case. Chronologically, throughout the book Waldron vividly exposes the deceit hidden in the information released to the public about the assassination, while uncovering the faithful motive of the assassination in order to prove that Carlos Marcello was the true murderer of President John F. Kennedy. Waldron’s first act of exposing JFK’s true murderer comes when he demolishes the single bullet theory. According to the Warren Report, Oswald was a “communist who fired the only shots at JFK’s motorcade, all from the sixth floor of his workplace, the Texas School Book Depository.”1 The Warren Commission further reported that only 3 shots were fired at JFK’s motorcade. One of the shots fired supposedly entered Kennedy’s back, “exited his throat just below his Adam’s apple, and then dived down to hit Governor Connally, who was sitting in front of JFK.”2 Although it was reported that the same bullet that struck Kennedy’s back struck Governor Connally, Governor John Connally always stated that he was struck by the first shot and that a separate shot struck JFK, and Nellie Connally agreed in her testimony.”3 Waldron

  • The Rambler Man
    THE RAMBLER MAN One wouldn't consider it much of an obituary. A life reduced to eleven paragraphs in The Dallas Morning News. The commentary is not remarkable for a person of the prominence of ex-deputy sheriff Roger Craig. Not for the employee the Dallas County sheriff's office proclaimed "Man of the Year" in 1960. Roger Craig's popularity grew among Kennedy assassination investigators when he maintained he witnessed an event involving a Nash Rambler station wagon in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. He spoke freely about the incident, disputed details of the assassination with superior officers, lost his job, aided in Jim Garrison's probe of Clay Shaw, became the friend of several researchers' and died by his own hand on May 15, 1975. Sadly, Craig's father discovered the body in a back bedroom of the small house on Luna Road in Dallas, this a few minutes after the old man had returned from mowing his lawn. There was a note. The physical and mental anguish resulting from a car wreck in 1973 and a shotgun wound to the shoulder sustained in 1974 was too much. Roger was sorry for what he had to do but he just "couldn't stand the pain." In the quiet of the Dallas Public Library I reviewed the eighteen year old obituary. I remembered the story of Craig's sighting of the Nash Rambler station wagon in front of the Texas School Book Depository on November 22nd. His account became important when a claim arose that Marina Oswald's friend and confidant, Ruth Paine, owned a similar vehicle.

  • Jack Ruby Just Before Shooting Lee Harvey Oswald
    Jack Ruby Just Before Shooting Lee Harvey Oswald Ike Pappas was doing a live radio broadcast for CBS’s New York station (WNEW), in the basement of the Dallas Municipal Building, when Lee Harvey Oswald appeared with local officers. It was the 24th of November, 1963 (the day before President Kennedy’s funeral). Oswald, accused of killing Officer J.D. Tippit and President Kennedy, was being transferred from one jail to another. Pappas—who'd run down four flights of stairs to be in place when Oswald arrived—had a good vantage point as the police arrived with the suspect. Known as “the man in the white raincoat,” Pappas asked Oswald a question: Do you have anything to say in your defense? Simultaneously with that question, Jack Ruby—a man known to local officials—moved past Ike, gun in hand. During live radio and television broadcasts, Ruby aimed his gun and fired a single shot into Oswald’s stomach. As Oswald crumpled, mortally wounded, radio listeners could hear the sound of a gunshot. Pappas—with a microphone in his right hand and a tape recorder in his left—continued to broadcast: There's a shot! Oswald has been shot! Oswald has been shot! Shocked, in the same way as Herb Morrison had been shocked during his live broadcast of the Hindenberg’s stunning explosion, Pappas continued: A shot rang out. Mass confusion here, all the doors have been locked. Holy mackerel! Taking a couple of seconds to keep composed, Ike then observed the whole event was: One of the wildest scenes I've ever seen.
