This video was greatly informed by the book “The Death of a President" by the late William Manchester. Since new information has come to light in the past decades, a huge thank you to Stephen Fagin from The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza for your assistance and insight into many of the details in this story.

The host of this channel is a mortician by trade and while I'm not subscribed to her channel, it does pop up in my feed occasionally. Most of the time her videos answer viewer's questions about death and what happens to a body after a person dies.
This one is seriously freaky.
I was 3 years old when JFK was shot, so I don't remember anything at all about it. If nothing else, this video illustrates just how badly the government can fuck shit up, even when it comes to handling a President's body.
I was ten years old and wildly in love with our president. Watched every speech they televised. Believed his every word and admired his every word. Still, at the very first glimpse of LHO, I exclaimed, "He didn't do it!" I was shushed by my mother. Intensive investigations over the ensuing decades showed beyond a reasonable doubt that JFK had been shot from the front; that LHO had been standing on the front steps of the book depository, UNARMED, watching the president pass by when the shots rang out; and was nowhere near Officer Tibbets when he was murdered. All these PROVED with solid evidence and witnesses. Makes me sick that this kind of twaddle gets millions of views. The twaddle will live on while the truth dies with everyone who bothered to find the facts. --nines
ReplyDeleteI was in grade school...small country school. Teachers were crying and they called the bus driver. He sat with the bus at the school the rest of the afternoon incase it was a prelude to a war or other crisis.
ReplyDeleteI was back in a hunting camp. I was fourteen. I was the only one that knew the way out so I led a bunch a men out still hunting along the way. I got to what we called Coffee Pot Corner and a man I knew walked up to me and said," The President was assonated three days ago."
ReplyDeleteThe handling of JFK’s coffin was a comedy of errors. A funeral director was there, but none of Kennedy’s men listened to him. They had to man handle the casket up the long steps and into the plane. And so on. If it wasn’t so sad it would be laughable.
ReplyDeleteJFK's casket was closed because the left half of the top of his head was on the inside of the windshield of the limo.
ReplyDeleteI watched a digitally enhanced version of the Zapruder film a few years ago. It was plainly apparent that the left half of JFK's head was gone when he was struck. This became apparent as the limo proceeded forward and the film angle changed from the side to the back of the limo. I saw a reverse L shaped space where the left side of the top of his head should have been. Despite the reported "heroic effort" to save JFK, he was as good as dead as soon as the bullet struck.
There are several versions of the enhanced Zapruder film on utube. All require logging in to utube to view because "age restricted".

I got to see him drive by my Late grandmothers house the summer of 1963. I don't remember much else. the County Jail I worked at had the podium he spoke at in the attic. We got to watch the funeral in school (It was the first time I watched a color tv).I was 7 at the time.
ReplyDeleteHere. Almost everything is fake. Try to prove him wrong. He wants you to. I have, and he is right.

Thanks for the Mathis link. Great stuff.
DeleteShould not comment while high. Commented about this post on a different post
ReplyDeleteSorry...my bad. Feel free to moderate the shit out of me.
My dad was a junior at Texas A&M. My mom, working in the admissions office. When dad told her the President had been shot, she asked "Why would someone shoot General Rudder?"
Earl Rudder was the President of A&M at the time.
Oswald was a patsy, this was CIA all the way including top-notch snipers. I was 10 and remember it well. I was part of the school "safety patrol" which was dedicated to helping the younger kids not get run over when we lined up for the bus. We were having our monthly meeting in the Cafeteria along with the school principal having ice cream. The radio was playing softly from the kitchen area where they were cleaning up from lunch.
ReplyDeleteAll the sudden the principal loudly said HUSH and we heard the news. It was all funeral al the time on all the tv and radio stations. Rock Stations that I listened to were all playing funeral music.
And here's something else that makes this bizarre...gotta put into perspective that we had just dodged nuclear war with the Russians the year before. So it was a kind of double-whammy. School was canceled for the rest of the day and the buses were called back. I think I rode my bike that day.
I haven't watched the video but anyone who has viewed the available autopsy photos would understand why the casket remained closed. A 6.5mm FMJ traveling at about 2000 f/s did massive damage.
ReplyDeleteBeen there.
ReplyDeleteIt was a deer shot.
Ya didnt need to be a marksman.
Just competent with a rifle.
The book “Case Closed” by Posner is convincing that Oswald did it by himself with a mail ordered $20 rifle with a $5 scope.
ReplyDeleteA good book is “Mortal Error” by Bonar Menninger.
DeleteThe author claims that it was a ND from an AR the secret service had in the follow car. Driver hit the gas, sympathic squeeze by the guy on top of the left rear seat.
(Testimony by one of the agents in the car was he went for the carbine but the guy on top of the seat already had it in hand)
The Carcano had zinc in the bullet jacket, the AR had 100% copper jacket.
He couldn’t prove that the fatal head shot came from the AR because the bullet jacket fragments got “lost” somehow.
In my own opinion, the reason behind the various conspiracy theories is there are those who just cannot wrap their heads around a simple fact a loser, a punk cut down POTUS. Do not remember where or when I saw this one, but someone with more spending discretion that the rest of us, allegedly located the original JFK coffin, rest deep at the bottom of the Atlantic.
ReplyDeleteI was employed for years with a security company in DC founded by a former Secret Service guy (Charles "Chuck" Vance). We provided high end services. We had business in Dallas one year and at the end of the day we all (8 of us) went down and walked the plaza and of course "they" spoke unreservedly. They didn't buy the lone wolf, but believed it was perfect storm kinda thing with mob, mic, and internal & foreign Intel elements being involved. This was in the mid 90s. I was born in 63. Closed casket? A literal no brainer, his head exploded.
ReplyDeleteThe book "High Treason" showed a difference between the autopsy photo of Kennedy's face and head, (no facial damage and skull damage at the rear of the head, whereas the skull x-rays showed significant damage at the right front of the skull. Can't have people seeing the Real McCoy in the casket and then seeing the x-rays without questions being asked.
DeleteThis brought some memories back. I was 14, attending a small catholic High school in Detroit. We were called into assembly and were informed that Kennedy had been shot. Back in the class room there was a lot of crying, then I heard some kids laughing and looked out the window, it was some kids from the public school 2 blocks away, they were laughing about the President being killed. By the time I got to the station to pick up the newspapers for my route, a special edition had been printed and I knocked on the doors of all my customers to hand deliver their paper that day. I can still remember vividly, sitting on the bleachers in the gym as the principal announced The presidents assasination, I still remember my thoughts, I still remember going door to door on my route telling people. When more info came out and we were told Oswald had shot a policeman, I remember thinking no one would remember the name of the cop so I took it upon myself to remember him; JD Tippit.
