Railroad Worker James Leon Simmons - Witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy

[@richardwhitfill5253]

He tells the same story Mr Holland told. I believe both men are telling the truth.

Mr Holland changed his story. Read his sworn testimony to the Warren Commission, given with his own lawyer present. Holland also lied about seeing Kennedy's foot over the side of the limo.

[@Ckom-Tunes]

Except, smokeless powder for bullets were invented in the 1880s. Wouldn’t the conspirators have known enough NOT to use black powder shells which, apparently, all the men standing on the overpass said they saw! Mr. Lane seems emphatic to point this out in every interview with these guys. Perhaps that’s why they weren’t questioned by the Warren Commission-if you’re lying or mistaken in one area of testimony you might be the same way in others…

[@franclin0]

They're telling the truth but they're misinterpreting what they saw. A guy standing next to them, Nolan Potter, saw a puff of smoke that he claims was in front of the depository. Keep in mind that where these guys were standing, the fence was directly between them and the depository. Any shots from Oswald in the 6th floor window would've sounded to them like it came from the fence area.

[@rsykesjr]

He’s right. That is the way they “did business“.

[@j.dunlop8295]

President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, commonly called the Warren Commission, by Executive Order (E.O. 11130) on November 29, 1963. LBJs people changed the route of caravan, by changing the destination! Both LBJs girl friend and wife said, LBJ told them he'd be done with the, Kennedys after Dallas. LBJ hated them so much, he refused to allow pictures of Kennedy at his ranch. Kennedy had criminal investigation(s) on LBJ on going, till he was killed!

This guy was standing on the overpass looking down at Elm street. That is a perfect view to see everything. I was there a few years ago standing right where he was at. In back of me was the railroad tracks and the entrance to the Stemmons Freeway ramp. He not only saw the smoke coming from behind the picket fence, most likely, he saw the limousine with the President getting shot directly below him. My God, that man must have so much sorrow and pain. I can see it in his eyes to witness something that horrific. I feel bad that he had to witness that.

[@9Ballr]

There was no one behind the picket fence, and Simmons said he saw smoke in front of the fence.

[@nightowl5475]

Lee Bowers was the train switch man that saw 2 cars drive behind the picket fence. He noticed men standing in 2 separate areas behind there. 2 of them were dressed I police uniforms. They had walkie talkies and were coordinating the big event. Bowers saw a flash of smoke behind there. Also there were other witnesses that saw men behind there. A deaf mute who witnessed them from above the bridge along with railroad men. Also there was a young fellow WI a camera taking pics. The cop from behind the fence confiscated his film. He wanted to take the camera too. But the young military aged guy told him, it was his mother's camera. There were lots of witnesses that saw action behind that fence. None were called on, for their testimony by the WC. Many of the eye witnesses tragically died from strange deaths right after the assassination. Many were afraid to come forward. Many were forced to change their testimony. The Parkland Hospital doctors observed different gunshot wounds on Kennedy's head and an entrance wound on his throat. There was a conspiracy and it was orchestrated from higher up. They wanted Kennedy out of the way, permanently!!!!

[@9Ballr]

@@nightowl5475 The two men that Bowers said he saw were on the south side of the fence, not the north side, and he literally said that there was no there at the wooden fence the moment the shots were fired. He described the two men he saw--on the south side of the fence--as "...Ah - one of them, as I recall, was a middle-aged man, fairly heavy-set with - what looked like a white shirt. Uh - he remained in sight practically all of the time. The other individual was uh - slighter build and had either a plaid jacket or a plaid shirt..."

[@nightowl5475]

​@@9BallrI'm sure they were just back there doing nothing. Right?

[@9Ballr]

@@nightowl5475 There was no "they," there was literally no one behind the picket fence according to Bowers. The south side of the fence is where the grass is, in front of the fence, where Zapruder and others were. So yes, they were doing nothing, because there was no one there. It would be absolutely impossible for someone to stand there with a gun and shoot Kennedy and not have everyone right in that area see them, and not be caught immediately by the police and others who ran up there. No one was seen behind the fence when the police and others ran up there because there was no one behind the fence. That is completely in line with the forensic and ballistics evidence as well, which has shown that the injuries to Kennedy and his head movements are consistent only with a shot from behind. See "Gunshot-wound dynamics model for John F. Kennedy assassination" online, for example.

You should know, Bowers never mentioned a puff of smoke or a flash of light to anyone before Mark Lane. Also, he had the best view of the area in question and DID NOT see a shooter. Yes, he does make a great witness to the fact that there was not a grassy knoll assassin.

[@ulicadluga]

@@franclin0 What is your problem? Clearly, Lee Bowers talks of a "flash" or a "puff of smoke". He also confirms that the Warren Commission stopped him from giving the more precise testimony. Lee Bowers at the WC: "At the time of the shooting there seemed to be some commotion (...)" on the high ground above Elm Street . . . I just am unable to describe rather than it was something out of the ordinary, a sort of milling around, but something occurred in this particular spot which was out of the ordinary, which attracted my eye for some reason, which I could not identify." So, you are claiming that Lee Bowers further clarifications of what he witnessed - as filmed by Mark Lane only two years after the assassination - are "lies"? Don't be so ridiculous!

[@franclin0]

@@ulicadluga He never mentioned either of them before. Why all of a sudden after numerous questioning does he (for Mark Lane) remember a flash of light or a puff of smoke? His story, like many others' became embellished and better sounding to conspiracy believers, but bottom line is he did not see a shooter. And for the record, in broad daylight a rifle is not going to emit a flash of light that would be visible to the naked eye from behind.

[@ulicadluga]

@@franclin0 "Numerous questioning"? Mark Lane did his series or interviews only two years after the assassination. Never mind a "conspiracy to kill JFK", there was immediately a "conspiracy" to control the narrative, be it over concerns of a "nuclear war" or to protect LBJ. There was an atmosphere of repression and intimidation after the assassination. An absurd number of people were frightened, even killed in the wake of November 22. What Mark Lane did was "refined journalism". He let the witnesses speak for themselves and in an atmosphere of security - although many of them were in grave danger. The witnesses in the vicinity of the rail yard, Lee Bowers, Sam Holland, James Simmons and Richard Dodd were all professional men and seasoned railway men. They give clear and unemotional testimony. They are not tainted by any political agenda. You have no evidence to undermine these courageous testimonies. What is your agenda?

[@ulicadluga]

@@franclin0 Interesting. I think it is now clear that there was no Grassy knoll assassin. But that does not dismiss Lee Bowers testimony. In fact, because Bowers does not mention guns, rifles and assassins, his truthful testimony points to the "grassy knoll diversion". The testimony of Bowers, Holland and others accords with the use of an ordinary firecracker to draw attention to the Grassy Knoll - and away from the professional sharpshooter with a suppressed automatic weapon concealed in the Commerce Street pedestrian underpass.

Justice Warren did not want to head up or be in the investigation. He was bullied into it by LBJ and probably blackmailed by Hoover as well. I don't know your ages but there was a great deal of animosity at JFK over the Bay of Pigs by all the agencies including the Pentagon. Warren was aware and knew the consequences of anything coming out that resembled any semblance of the truth. There were several very important men involved. One of them has finally died who was a player and I was hoping that with his death the truth would finally come out but his son sealed GHWBs docs for 25? 50? years. Very few make mention of this fact, but there were three future POTUSs in Dallas that day: RMN, LBJ & GHWB. Bush, a charter member of the CIA, was the only one who manufactured an alibi and is reputed to have misdirected the FBI's investigation with an anonymous phone call. All three were complicit then or after the fact, but I believe the actions of Bush put him in as the agent in charge of the op.

[@ronaldharding3927]

I don't believe Oswald was a shooter at all. Garrison testified he saw two men in the 6th floor window and there was a credible witness who put Oswald on the 2nd floor at the time of the shooting. When they did the paraffin test on Oswald he had NO powder residue on his cheek which would necessarily been pres ent if he'd fired a rifle. The nitrates on his hands were nearly always present on the hands of those who warehoused books. Oswald was staged by his past work for the CIA to take the fall for the assassination from the Bay of Pigs on. When Jack fired Dulles for that fiasco, Dulles set it in motion. Maybe when all the players have died the truth will come out, but it's doubtful, since even Bobby destroyed evidence. It has always bothered me that they claimed Oswald put 3 shots out (there are witnesses who claim there were as many as six shots fired) with two kill shots placed on a target moving away from him through a tube sight. Shooters like myself will tell you that a tube sight is difficult enough to place one kill shot on target with the target static. I've killed squirrels running through the trees with a .22 rifle, but only with iron sights. A moving target is very difficult through a tube sight to pick up--I know because I've hunted them both ways. When a kid stood up between me and my target one day I could not determine what he was through the scope. Lowering my weapon, I saw what I was about to shoot. It was enough for me. I took that scope off my rifle and never mounted another on any of my rifles ever again. Jack Kennedy was taken in a kill box by a team of assassins.

If there was a puff of smoke, what does that prove? Witnesses have variously described it as being like a firecracker, exhaust fumes, or cigarette smoke.

He described just one shot, apparently the last final headshot. But what about the first two (or more) shots fired. He and others on the overpass mention nothing about the initial shots. That seems strange to me.

[@fiachramaccana280]

Because the first two shots came from the TSBD and he heard but didn't see them. Hence his sensory perception of the first two shots would have been limited to auditory only. Other than acknowledging the noise of the shots he cant add much. While a third shot came from the picket fence and he both heard it and saw it. When I say he saw it...I mean he saw some commotion/light/smoke from that area. In other words he had visual and auditory around the third shot. That would explain his testimony and that of his colleagues.

[@WO2Royalengineersretired]

Now I’m no expert on the assassination of Kennedy I’m 71 now and in service I was a pretty good shot , but you would have to be a bloody good sniper to allow for all the factors of wind , distance, bullet drop , and vehicle movement to nail those two shots at that distance … even with a scope ! I believe the weapon was bolt action so after the first shot these parameters would have to be calculated again into the second or third shot ! .. my conclusion is it’s not only Oswald who if at all fired those shots but some damn good well trained sniper! Front and rear of the motorcade ?

[@dab.]

He missed the kill shot twice.

[@GhostRanger5060]

You are so correct. I was in the Army and a good shooter. This was allegedly a bolt action rifle aimed at a moving target approx. 200-300 feet away and moving away. A nearly impossible shot. And it would have been impossible to fire more than one round with a bolt action rifle. When I hear people nay-say this logic I know I am dealing with a person with no knowledge of target shooting, no knowledge of rifles, and no understanding of the physics of shooting. That or else they are people in pure denial. Because Americans do not want to think their government is capable of such conspiracy. Well they should read more history. Especially post-WWII history. After COVID and the likes of the CDC and Dr. Fauci, only a truly oblivious, deluded or passive participant in the conspiracy could ever deny the possibilities. #blessings

@@GhostRanger5060 I fatally agree with you. Even on the ranges taking my time firing a personal weapon with iron sights self loading rifle (SLR) my grouping would be the size of a dinner tray if I was lucky ! And that was at 300 Mtrs .

Modern guns don't emit much smoke. He couldn't have seen gun smoke at that distance. He didn't see a gunman. No one saw a gunman on the grassy knoll, even though many people looked over there and rushed over there, as he did.. His comments tend to rule out an assassin on the grassy knoll.

[@arcanondrum6543]

The DID find people there. People who claimed to be with the Secret Service, for instance.... A deaf mute that Mark Lane interviewed claimed that the rifle was immediately stowed away. Perhaps that's true or perhaps "Secret Service holding a rifle" was "good enough" for police with an Assassination on their watch and a nightclub owner giving out free police passes that "no one has ever heard of" successfully sneaking into the police station basement for Oswald's transfer.

[@xlucim]

gunpowder has been smokeless since the late 1800's. The puff of smoke is irrelevant, it could be from a car exhaust or something else.

"Smokeless" powder is the name given to modern gunpowder.....to differentiate it from the much-more-dirty black powder used earlier. Although called "smokeless", it is not totally so and can be confirmed with any real and honest shooter today.

The puff of smoke that so many people saw behind the fence most likely didn't come from any gun. Smokeless gun powder was standard for ammunition by the late 1800's. Perhaps it was some incendiary device to direct attention away from other areas.

[@stddisclaimer8020]

Some who claimed they saw a puff of smoke also admitted they didn't think it had anything to do with the shooting. In fact, there was a steam pipe running near the triple underpass. The "smoke" might have been from a vehicle exhaust, or steam from the steam pipe. Maybe it was somebody puffing a cigarette.
