Problem is, the possible hidden truths about the assassination are not going to be reached by popular consensus. Have you ever seen a murder case in which all the forensic info is released to the public and the public finds out who did it, how, why, and produces a legal ruling and appropriate sentence? Do you really think that more information is not going to be weaved into even wilder conspiracy theories?

And now, we have had hate, racism, and greed grow to a new level. God bless us, everyone!

@@rubystone6736 not true. the mind is screwed up man, it can also create false memory. you remember the event, but with different people or other incorrect details because your mind is blocking out the trauma and filling in the blanks with surrogates. a good example of this from fiction is from the tv show "M * A * S * H *" series finale. during the course of the finale, hawkeye is checked into a psych hospital, during his stay, he and the shrink discuss a specific incident in which hawkeye was riding on an ambulance bus at night. but each time hawkeye retells the story it's incomplete, as the psychiatrist picks at the details, the story changes, and as it changes hawkeye continues to explain the events. the first version we hear we only get the beginning, the bus is full of soldiers drunkenly celebrating and hawkeye is asking them to pass a bottle of whiskey back to them for one of the soldiers he's talking with, the bus picks up a group of korean villagers including a woman with a chicken. in the second version we find out the truth was that the bus was filled with wounded soldiers and hawkeye was down to his last blood transfusion bottle and they were passing it from patient to patient. he was demanding the bottle of blood for the wounded soldier in the back of the bus dying of blood loss. this version then continues to tell us that the bus came upon a north korean patrol and pulled off the road to hide in the bushes, where hawkeye yelled at the villager woman because her chicken wouldn't stop clucking and was going to give their position away. In the final version of the story, hawkeye tells us that after he yelled at the villager woman he turned to go back to the front of the bus, when he noticed the chicken had gone quiet, and he turned around to see that she had killed the chicken. Hawkeye then breaks down crying hysterically, to which the shrink asks "so, what's the big deal? it was just a chicken." to which Hawkeye screams "IT WAS A BABY! she smothered her own baby...oh god, i just wanted it to be quiet, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR HER TO *KILL IT!* ....why did you make me remember that, you son of a bitch..."

Are you kidding me. This guy is a dud. The head of the secret service was in on it as was the driver of the president's limo who took no evasive action but rather slowed the limo down at a specific point so that the shooter could deliver the kill shot to the head with an exploding bullet. Even Gerald Ford, Justice Warren, the FBI were involved in the cover up. and, of course, LBJ were involved with the cover up. And there is no doubt that LBJ and his oil buddies were involved in the coup d'etat. And Americans just take it.

Also, the intact bullet had striations and it was for some reason pocketed and placed on a table who cares if it was a gurney and if it was moved, oooooh. What is more important that is how they definitely placed Oswald there and in the "snipers nest" and being the shooter. But, again how the heck does the second bullet get waved over like a magic wand, nothing to see here, these are not the droids you are looking for, ITS A SECOND BULLET !

He reviews what the witnesses said on that day. What people did in response. Uncovers the evidence that will point to what is the most likely sequence based on everything he finds. An awesome display of the ability to see things many do not want to see.

I am writing this from memory, without referring to any books on the assassination. It has long been thought that the pristine bullet either worked its way out of the president's back when the doctors in the trauma room were trying to save the president's life, or else it was placed on the stretcher by somebody (which led to theories that the bullet was planted in order to frame Oswald). My recollection is that witnesses said it was found on Kennedy's stretcher and not Connally's stretcher, which has always been one of the difficulties with the single bullet theory, the other being, of course, that a nearly pristine bullet could not have done all that damage to two bodies. One of the doctors at Parkland Hospital probed with his finger the wound in Kennedy's back and found it to be only three inches deep, which suggests that the bullet struck him at a low velocity. If I recall correctly, this was a not uncommon defect with a Mannlicher Carcano rifle. Given the Secret Service agent's account of where he found the bullet, this all makes sense. And it is consistent with the long standing criticism that Kennedy's throat wound could not have been caused by the same bullet that entered his back because: (1) the throat wound was several inches higher than the back wound; (2) the president was sitting upright when he was struck in the throat as the Zapruder film clearly shows; and (3) the back wound was not a through wound. The conclusion is almost inescapable that the throat wound was caused by a bullet fired from the front. Its dimensions have never been described because it was obliterated by the tracheotomy, so it was never identified as an entrance wound or an exit wound. This leaves us with five bullets: one that missed the limousine altogether, one that struck Kennedy in the back, one that struck Kennedy in the throat, one that did all the damage to Connally, and one that hit Kennedy in the head. Some of the witnesses said they heard three shots, others said they heard four or five. Given the rapid sequence of the shots, the echoes in Dealey Plaza, and the differing locations of the witnesses, it is no wonder that accounts differ. In defense of the Secret Service agent, he was wise to protect the evidence without turning it over to the Dallas police. Granted, it would have been better if the bullet could have remained where it was found until the car was photographed as a crime scene, but it was not in his power to make that happen. His concern about souvenir hunters was not unreasonable. If he is telling the truth, I thank him for coming forward. -- Richard Hayes Phillips

So how close were souvenir hunters likely to get to the president after he'd just been shot - that excuse can be dismissed outright - Considering he was well aware of what would happen if said anything he simply kept quite I have read Mark lanes book " Plausible Denial " front to back and a book I think he wrote about the Bay Of Pigs and know about E Howard Hunt who was the architect of it all you realise how grubby the world of politics is

In fact, the back wound was a "through wound." The autopsy doctors traced the bullet's path over the top of the scapula and lung and through the lower throat, damaging the trachea and exciting at the front collar of the neck. The front collar of JFK's shirt had two overlapping holes when buttoned, with shirt fibers pointing out, away from the body, further confirming that the throat wound was an exit wound. A decade later, the HSCA again confirmed this bullet's path. I likely don't need to add that this bullet went on to hit Gov Connally in the lower back, causing all of his wounds, and later was ballistically traced to Oswald's rifle found on the sixth floor of the TSBD.

I was in 2nd grade. They sent the kids in every grade , 1 thru 6 home. Very similar story but my parents both worked & it was my grand mother crying watching Walter Cronkite in the basement when I got home. My memory was etched from that time. Always wanted to find out what happened. Read many books / saw all the documentaries. Still the many questions were unanswered. Then there was an under the Radar documentary I watched on DVD - JFK The Smoking Gun. It had me writing down facts / evidence / stopping & restarting because they were coming so fast. A detective goes to Dealey Plaza & does a cold case on the JFK assassination. I guarantee it will have answers to many questions you thought would NEVER be answered. I had 2 pages of notes written down after watching it. You will understand why 60 years later the Government refuses to release all documents on this event ! I guarantee it.

People just dont know the facts of what happened that day and dont care enough to research it. Watch the movie JFK. Oliver stone does a great job of laying out all of the facts. Witnesses were killed, oswald was conveniently killed by jack ruby who was tied to the people who killed JFK. Oh and RFK just happened to be murdered soon after! All coincidences of course.

He said "It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people-whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth-is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure." and it is essentially 50%, more than Roosevelt could possibly imagine.

True today. A lot of reforms came out of this incident and others in that era. Forensic science was not a fully developed field, and many court decisions from around that era rewrote the book on a lot of police procedures. Since his job was to protect the first lady, no way should he have been collecting evidence at the scene, but no one was designated for that role. They could not even agree on who' investigation it was. Secret Service illegally removed the body from the jurisdiction against the Medical Examiner's authority. It was the state's crime to investigate and prosecute. I don't think crime scene tape had been invented yet. Those agents may not have even been trained on forensic procedures.@@-roejogan- There is still a shocking amount of ignorance among police administrators today, the kind who play politics to get the white shirt and plastic shoes without ever having trained on forensics or other special fields. I witnessed a swat shooting once, and the new swat commander called all of the perimeter and entry units up to the scene in the dark, had them all standing on top of blood and body parts to conduct his post op briefing. Once a Captain ordered me to attend a briefing with SS in which I would be informed of motorcade route and secondary emergency evacuation routes, on of which I would escort. The captain wanted me to return to other duties while awaiting the arrival. I informed the lead agent of this, acknowledging the idiocy and requesting what to tell the Captain. He said tell the Captain that if you leave this room with the information you have received, I will personally shoot you in the back on the way out the door. I was pleased immensely with that answer. So you see, even today it does not always go smoothly with the local yokels interacting with SS.

This account just does not make sense. He is a highly skilled and trained professional agent, not an ordinary person. He was trained to function properly during a crisis. If he was concerned that no one had taken charge of the vehicle, then he could have taken charge of the vehicle, or at least see to it that another agent did so. He should never have touched, let alone removed the critical bullet, which is incredibly important evidence in a crime scene. He should have stayed to guard the bullet in the car, until the proper forensics team arrived. He should be disciplined for interfering with a crime scene that he had an obligation to preserve. It makes no sense to think that putting it on the table/gurney, without notifying his superiors, was the right thing to do. Having ruined the crime scene, he should have kept the bullet so that the chain of custody could be validated. Again, this was a highly skilled and trained professional agent, and he completely fell apart during the most important crisis that he would ever have to deal with.

I realize what you're saying sounds correct, but remember this was a ridiculously traumatic event & he was in his late 20s. That's the part I find so odd, hiring guys in their mid-late 20s seems crazy. I'd think you'd rather have some people who've seen combat or have a history in policing & security... not a fresh faced kid right outta college with no real experience

I really hope he makes a lot of money off this book. I don’t think it will have any new information other than his personal connection to the event - which was traumatic. I would easily believe over the years the government never offered him a dime in compensation for PTSD after witnessing close up the event that traumatized the whole nation. I wish him all the love and peace possible during these later years of his life.

Anyone who still believes Oswald killed JFK by himself from the 6th floor school depository, firing 3 shots, one which missed so only 2 shots from a bolt action rifle which is very inaccurate, while the target was moving away from him, with trees in his way that caused 7 bullet holes in JFKs and Governor Connelly body including a headshot which clearly came from the front of JFK....is an ignorant idiot! People just dont know the facts of what happened that day and dont care enough to research it. Watch the movie JFK. Oliver stone does a great job of laying out all of the facts. Witnesses were killed, oswald was conveniently killed by jack ruby who was tied to the people who killed JFK. Oh and RFK just happened to be murdered soon after! All coincidences of course. People are so ignorant. They all say they dont trust the government yet believe what the government tells them. 💯

I was a bit older like 1st grade at school. It was such a shock and all the teachers were crying and we were told a little later. It was like the world stopped. Besides all the crying it became very quiet. Well, there was no way most of the teachers could work after that. We had an extra long recess period. The playground was quieter too. We talked and cried too. It took us all about a week to get back to normal and start learning again..

Tough, he managed to make himself invisible while not collapsing, keeping himself and the Corp away from embarrassment (even if barely).
