It now appears that Naval Intelligence, the FBI, and the CIA had their people.....former military.....planted in police departments all over the country. The hatred for JFK in Texas was severe....especially by KKK members and right wing military vets. DeMohrenschildt talked, was filmed in Holland, asked George H.W. Bush for help, and got his head blown apart with a shotgun ! JFK Jr. once said : " Bobby knew EVERYTHING!"

LBJ would not in a million years have accepted the vice presidency position if it wasn't going to lead to the big job. When he was given that position in 1961 Kennedy's days were numbered. Many organizations benefited from Kennedy being taken out. LBJ, mafia, CIA, FBI, Texan oiil barons, contracts for Vietnam (particularly Texan companies), Federal Banks, it just seemed the policies of Kennedy ruffled far too many feathers. The moment LBJ was sworn in all those issues with all those organisations disappeared overnight. RFK was probably taken out by the same people as the Kennedy clan were never going to get into the whitehouse again as the establishment knew they would immediately look into his brothers assassination.

From the perspective of the government pecking order, the veep seat was a huge demotion for LBJ. He absolutely took it for the proximity to the big seat.

One thing I have never heard mentioned in any interview, is why did the presidents vehicle travel so slowly on Elm Street? When the shots ran out the vehicle slowed, and at the time of the head-shot was almost stopped. With gun-shots running out most drivers would accelerate away. Very strange how that driver slowed down.

[@JohnJohnson-pq4qz]

Not only slowed down, but several witnesses claim they came to a complete stop and kept looking at JFK until he was hit in the head...then sped away. Since the time of the Roman Emperors, if you wanted to assassinate the ruler you had to first remove or compromise the body guards.

[@brianjanderson6361]

The driver, Bill Greer (CIA) turned around and shot JFK with an electric 45 calibre revolver. That’s why.

[@georgeschaut2178]

The driver (Greer) more than likely deliberately brought the limousine to a stop in order to give the shooters a better aim for the head shot (since it's easier to aim at a stationary target). Once the head shot was completed, the driver then accelerated out of the stop. Because this stoppage would look very bad for the secret service, the stoppage would then need to be removed from the three home movies. For this reason, the slowing down/stoppage is not apparent in any of the films, even though it was seen by numerous witnesses that day (& reported by CBS & ABC news in their live coverage that day). This would also explain why the three home movies have discrepancies between them in their content (& why films disagree with photos). I highly doubt that a professional limousine driver would get confused as to the difference between the brakes & the accelerator. George, Canada...

I've always found it interesting that the book, "Farewell America", was kept out of the U.S. until the 80's. The author, James Hepburn, is widely considered a pseudonym for the various intelligence agencies (outside of the U.S.) that felt the official story was false. Though the book is believed to have originated with the French, the heavy lifting of that investigation was done by the then, K.G.B. That particular agency had already penetrated the Manhattan Project, which at the time, was no small feat. They were understandably concerned that they were being made out as the scapegoat. Any incoming U.S. President is shown the same "evidence" to this day: Oswald was a defector. He was turned by the Soviets and Cuba, and The Warren Commision had to cover that up, and did. It seems as though Kennedy would've been much better protected by his adversaries.

33:28 - They could have had a "rendezvous". Oswald apparently asked the cab driver to take him to the 500 block on North Beckley. If Oswald had been set up, he might have realized that the "rendezvous" near Jack Ruby's apartment was a "setup", where he would be killed. As he didn't have his handgun with him, he could have decided he needed it at the "rendezvous". If Tippit was his designated driver, Oswald could easily have called Ruby from the Greyhound Station to tell him he was getting a cab to arrive in 15 minutes. That would also explain why Oswald "gallantly" let a woman take the first cab at the rank. If Oswald didn't arrive at the "rendezvous" point on time, Tippit might have driven towards Oswald's rooming house to intercept him. Ruby could have been at the scene, which would explain why the "botched" killing of Oswald left him no option but to shoot Oswald himself.

One has to credit Ms Clemons' account of the Tippitt death IMO - and of course calibre is wrong. Plus now e know from Doug Horne, techs say the photo paper is wrong - Dr Mantik shows (to me) the x ray at rear of head is whited out IE more reflective than would be intact human bone.

I think this is what really happened Tippit was "Badgeman" in the Mary Moorman photo. Because right after the shooting, Velma came forward in 2006 & told a radio talk show host she saw a man with a high powered rifle exit the back of the TSBD. (Sounds like Malcolm Wallace) she said Tippit was there & she saw Tippit telling him to move his car in the parking lot in back. If you notice in the Mary Moorman photo "Badgeman" looked like a policeman so it was easy for Tippit to pull it off because he was a policeman. It had to be a shooter that could easily get away with it & also Tippit was a crackshot. Who would ever suspect a policeman to shoot JFK ?? Nobody. After the shooting Tippit leaves dealey plaza & drives to an area not his normal beat & was at Gloco Gas station by the trinity river & goes to Top 10 Records to use the phone he was acting very strange & he was looking for Oswald to drive him to Redbird Airfield. Tippit arrived at Gloco gas station from 12:45pm to 1pm so Tippit had plenty of time after leaving dealey plaza. And the 2 cops Earlene Roberts saw before LHO left the rooming house, I think it was Captain Westbrook & officer Kenneth Croy they came to pick up Oswald to drive him to the cinema at 1:07pm. Then Westbrook & Croy drove to the crime scene & enroute the 2nd Oswald Rodger Craig saw get into a Rambler on Elm got in the 2nd patrol car. Virginia Davis saw several policeman after the Tippit shooting & Doris Holan saw a 2nd patrol car hidden in the alley by Tippit's car. Tippit got out & walked towards the 2nd patrol car & a shooter got out & shot him. The 2nd Oswald ?? Westbrook & Croy were in the 2nd patrol car. He was the one seen by witnesses & Johnny Brewer & after the police swarmed in Johnny Brewer fingered the real Oswald by mistake. Butch Burroughs saw the arrest of "Harvey & Lee" the patsy LHO was led out the front entrance & the 2nd LHO was led out the back exit seen by Bernard J.Haire of Bernie's Hobby House. The 2nd Oswald was escorted by 2 policemen & I bet it was Westbrook & Croy. Other witnesses saw the 2nd Oswald it's in "JFK & the Unspeakable" by Jim Douglass. Tippit, Westbrook & Croy were in on it. It all makes sense & ties together. Any case the grassy knoll shooter was not Charles Harrelsen he later denied it & forget James Files he's not credible. Tippit shot JFK & the 2nd Oswald shot Tippit....now case closed.

Here's a part that I question, that I've never heard anyone else question before for some reason. It involves the supposition that Oswald was out there running around in the streets, in order to end up in a situation where he supposedly shot Tippet. Suppose you are a nut job that's going to go out and assassinate a high profile person. Imagine the planning that would have to go into pulling that off. If you're a guy that could get that done, you're a guy that is very good at making a plan. I mean that premise is obvious. So what's in your plan for the first couple of hours after you pull it off? There's no way you don't have a plan. But this guy, he left his jacket and his sidearm in the room he was renting and had to go back and get it. He went to watch a movie. Nothing in his planning involved a straight line to get him out of town as fast as humanly possible, after shooting the president of the United States. That just doesn't jive. That afternoon, this guy was in a situation that he had absolutely no premonition he would be in that morning. And if he didn't know that there would be a need to get the hell out of town at 1:00 p.m. CST, then he had no idea at 8:00 that morning that he would be shooting the president that day. And if he didn't know that morning when he was planning his day that he would be doing that, he didn't do that.

[@anonymike8280]

You make a significant point. In all this time, I have never thought of that in so direct a way. I have considered the idea that Oswald had some role, perhaps simply the role of turning his rifle over to someone else, but did not know that he was going to be in the position of being the accused in the assassination of the president. If he knew he was going to shoot the president, he would have had some escape plan other than racing out of the building not know where he was going. That's unless he was such a head case that he didn't think beyond the act. His statement about not being willing to be the "patsy" can be taken as a concession that he had some role in some murky events that he perhaps did not understand the purpose of at first. Maybe he was promised something, for example a visa to Cuba, in return for whatever he did. For another thing, I don't know that there was sufficient evidence to convict Oswald of firing the fatal head shot that killed Kennedy. You can prove that the shot that wounded Kennedy and Connelly came from his rifle and that he was in the building when the shot was fired. How do you prove he fired the fatal shot? With the failed autopsy, you can't.

[@kevinkeller6569]

You make an extremely valid point!! If Oswald had shot JFK, alone, nobody else involved, he absolutely would not have been lolly gagging around Oakcliff, stopping at his rooming house, and hanging out at a damn movie theater!!!!! He would've had his puckered ass getting thee HELL outta Dodge, or should I say Dallas, and getting as far away from the whole chaotic scene as fast as humanly possible!! He did not shoot anyone and he didn't realize he was the patsy til it was much too late. If you haven't read the book Me & Lee (or Lee Harvey Oswald And Me) both by his summer of 1963 mistress Judyth Vary Baker, I highly recommend you read both!!

[@marksesl]

You just don't get this. Oswald didn't have an escape plan because he hadn't expected to escape. He just found that he was luckily able to get out, and then just decided to get his gun to make a last stand somewhere. He didn't go to see a movie. He snuck in to avoid the cops. He was just running a mock aimlessly.

[@anonymike8280]

​@@marksesl With the facts we have, all things are possible. You would But think that someone, if they intended to commit a premeditated crime, would make their escape part of the plan. But maybe not. Maybe the person's focus was such that they would fail to consider what to do after the event. If the lone assassin theory of the crime is correct, may there was no long period of premeditation. Maybe Oswald simply saw the opportunity and took it. Or maybe he was, as he said, a dupe in a plot. It is even possible that his rifle was stolen and used in the plot. Many of the theories seem far-fetched, except for the fact that there were many parties with considerable resources who might have wanted to eliminate Kennedy. It has been widely reported that two earlier plots ijn 1963 were thwarted - one in Chicago and one in Miami. Here are some of the parties who might have had it in for Kennedy. Fidel Castro and anti-Castro Cubans both. The Mafia. French and Vietnamese nationalist seeking revenge for the murder of the Diem brothers. Right-wing Sunbelt corporate interests. Elements in the CIA. The Soviet Union. Some suspect Lyndon Johnson. I don't consider that plausible, but it is not impossible. Then there were possible local conspiracies of the kind Jim Garrison claimed to have discovered involving players with no major connection or influence. All of these things remain possible in the context of the evidence we have. None are proven. Not all are equally likely. I don't think anything about the case can proven beyond beyond doubt except that the shot that wounded Kennedy and Gov. Connally came from Oswald's rifle and that Oswald was in the building.

[@kevinkeller6569]

@anonymike8280 Yes, you touched on most of the groups who wanted Kennedy dead. He royally pissed off some of the big Texas oil men as well but I believe the one's who did the job were some of the higher ups in the CIA, and people like Ferrie and some of the members of the mob who really hated the Kennedys, and were working with the CIA. If Oswald had done it all alone, there wouldn't have been any need to cover up the crime. The powers that be HAD to make America believe that Kennedy was killed by a lone nut to get the spotlight off of them. They were able to do this except for the fact that there was a TON of evidence of what really happened, and researchers have uncovered a lot of it. Most of America believes there was a conspiracy, including the HSCA with the gunshot sound evidence from the motorcycle cops mic left on and recorded the shots on a dictabelt machine. Sound experts proved beyond all doubt that there was more than one shooter. Many many witnesses like Lee Bowers said the last 2 shots were almost on top of each other. Boom..........booboom. Like that. Oswald was in the 2nd floor lunch room at the time of the shooting. They originally found a german mauser, which is a highly accurate, high-powered rifle, and then switched guns to Oswalds manlicher carcano, a highly inaccurate rifle with a defective scope. Paraffin tests showed no nitrates on Oswalds face or hands, proving he did not fire a weapon that day! Rush to Judgment by Mark Lane is a MUST read! Also read Ambush in Dealy Plaza by Robert J. Murdoch! Oswald is an innocent man and a true American patriot and hero! He stopped one assassination attempt in Chicago and tried to stop the one in Dallas, and it cost him his life.

[@pedrofernandez506]

McBride spent 30 years writing the book. He admitted John Armstrong haD proven there were two Oswald's and more. Armstrong's work is the key to understanding all of this. Go back to the late 1940s and two boys with the same name, Lee Harvey Oswald. Legendary researcher Jack White told me to put my money on John Armstrong. This was in the 90s. Jack's passing was in 2012 I believe.

He also detailed how this relates to the 1964 murder of a cancer researcher, Dr. Mary Sherman, the contamination of the polio vaccine and our current cancer epidemic.

Tippit was shot in the head because he was to be the body double for JFK. The fool who shot him shot from the front, ignoring or forgetting his directions, so it was another in a chain of screwups that day. Apparently, Tippits nickname was JFK, because he looked so much like him. When Bobby and Jackie were looking at the body at the naval hospital, Bobby said "it doesn't look anything like him." It might have been Tippit he was looking at.

Quite a few years ago , on the annual JFK conspiracy anniversary show ( on Coast to Coast AM ) a brother and sister contacted the shows producer and told them their mother's deathbed story . Their mother was in back of the school book depository building and saw 2 suspicious men with a package that could be a rifle leaving the back of the building . She also saw a uniformed officer follow them . A year later the show producers lost their correspondence. I wondered if the brother and sister had mysterious deaths . And I also wondered if the policeman was Tippett

he got a ride, because Tippit was murdered at 1:06 like Helen Markham said, Benevides described him as skin tone muddier that Belil black wavy hair that hadn’t been cut in weeks. His brother Eddy was murdered for no reason in a case of mistaken identity then he changed it to Oswald. Couldn’t ID Oswald day of. TW Bowley arrived at 1:10 after picking daughter up from school and saw Tippit “beyond help” Benevides was having trouble with radio so he got on. Callahan arrived several minutes after that police radio says it was @1:16 when Bowley finally got on the radio and Bowley affidavit talks about him putting Tippit gun in car and Callahan getting in cab (who called for a cab??) and taking Tippit’s gun and said “lets get him” Oswald time in movies is because he sat in theatre moved seats a couple times looking to meet someone. they weren’t there and got popcorn from attendant at little before 1:15 No way he walked to either site in time he got a ride. Land lady said police car honked outside woth 2 men in it and pulled forward. He probably got in a little passed his front door. Roscoe White likely shot Tippit after dropping Oswald off at the rendezvous spot, something went wrong with the pickup, but automatic .38’ws stamped on casings at scene before evidence was planted per police radio

[@foryourhealth4481]

Maybe there were two Oswald's, the real Oswald and the Patsy. It could probably explain why he was seen at both locations.

[@georgeschaut2178]

Belzer has argued that there were two very close lookalikes, which he says might also explain why Oswald is seen in Dallas and New Orleans around the same time. Some have suggested that when one Oswald is being led out of the front of the theatre by officers, a lookalike is being led by officers out the back! Very confusing. There's even a similar-looking guy named Robert Webster who goes into Russia around the same time as Lee Harvey goes there...

At 37:44, a thought crossed my mind. Because Ruby was on Team Mob, it is quite possible that he was on a need-to-know basis from his handlers. His insistence on going to Washington to tell HIS side of the story - forget the stupid movie! - would tell me that Ruby had no earthly idea how far up this went; as far as he was concerned, this was a mob hit. If Ruby would have even had two pieces of information about the FBI/CIA nexus, he would have known better than to insist on an audience in D.C. Hell, it would be like a chicken leaving the relative safety of the coop (jail) for the inevitable killing fields of the wolves; staying in jail would have made him a mob hero akin to someone who doesn't rat out the org in a court of law. Just a thought - given Ruby's propensity for bombast and possessing a grandiose, self-serving charisma, he would not have been allowed too much vertical access above his current place in the conspiracy's informational food chain. Unless I am missing something, which is quite possible.

[@markgardner4426]

One question that’s never been answered is Oswald was seen waiting at the bus stop by his rooming house at 1:04 and he is seen buying popcorn at the theater at about 1:10 he had to have been driven there by the cop car that honked earlier. The report says car 206 so what two cops were driving?

[@carljensen5730]

We have a pretty good idea of who shot Tippit. It was Jimmy Files' friend who was ordered by David Phillips to kill Lee Oswald, but ran into Tippit who tried to detain him as a suspicious person. The proof is in the disparity between the shells of the gun used and Lee Oswald's gun. The "official" lie is that Oswald dumped the shells from his revolver near the scene. In what Universe does it make sense that a killer would pause near the scene and dump out the shells from his revolver?
