Why Were There No Whistleblowers in the JFK Assassination?

[@philipdubuque9596]

I was a 14 year old junior high school student in Massachusetts on 11/22/1963. This year, 2024, will make 45 years since I began researching this case. Over the years since (100 books, time lines, index cards, marginal notes and organization flow charts) I came to understand that if the name Ted Yacucci appears on any comments, literature or presentations, it's best to sit up and take notice. Your contribution to this enquiry has consistantly been among the most accurate and well considered expositions of the facts surrounding the JFK assassination. Excellent work! Keep it coming.

I am pretty confident that someone out there with an uncut Zapruder copy could digitize it to the extent that a zoom shot could possibly show fragmentation imagery of the front windshield. SOOO many lose threads to pull upon. Thank you IMMENSELY, Ted!

[@randybrandenburg7033]

We now know from the records review board of 1995 the CIA had the film that same night in their labs in New York

[@tvted12345]

Thanks Jorge...I would love to see an original uncut Zapruder copy...no doubt the folks at Life Magazine intentionally destroyed frames (in my opinion)

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

You have to understand that one frame of Super 8mm film represnts, ballistically, a very long interval of time, WAY too long to resolve anything like bullet fragments, which can travel quite a distance in that span of time! There is no way they could be resolved on a frame of Super 8 film.

to me, the only CIA chief who had somewhat of a conscious was, William Colby. and we KNOW what happened to him back in 1996.

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

No, I don't believe he had one, but I do believe his murder was directly related to the assassination. He certainly never exhibited any conscience about Vietnam and the murderous CIA station in Saigon.

I have been following the assassination since 1978 to the point of even flying to Dallas and going into the TBD and seeing for myself. Being a benchrest shooter and used to shooting five bullets to the same hole at 100 meters I had to satisfy my curiosity. If there is a way that I can speak to you directly I would really enjoy the opportunity to do so please let me know. Thank you.

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

when they shimmed the scope on the Carcano it wasn't to align the scope but to compensate for the veering ? the last 4 inchs of the rifling was worn out and it veered 9 inches to the upper left at 50 yards . P.S. was not the murder weapon !

There was Lt. Bruce Pitzer, with the A.V. lab who was also found to have committed a right-handed suicide even though he was left-handed. A special forces captain, Ted (I think) Vanek was tabbed to commit the hit. The method of the JFK assassination was discussed in detail at Fort Bragg.

[@MatewanMassacre]

Yes, Commander Pitzer was the photographic documentarian at Bethesda Naval Hospital, during the JFK autopsy. In early 1964, Colonel Dan Marvin, a Special Forces Agent with US Army Intelligence, was approached and asked to undertake a mission to assassinate someone who, he was told, was 'giving secrets to the enemy.' According to Colonel Marvin, when he found out the hit was to be carried out at Bethesda Naval Hospital, he turned it down. But his squad team member, the aforementioned Vanek, was also approached, as Marvin tells it; and after learning of the death of Commander Pitzer, years later, he attempted to locate Vanek, but was unable to. It's as if Vanek became a non-person. Colonel Marvin told of this experience on Dave Emory's "For The Record" radio show, in 1996 ... I believe.

[@tvted12345]

Yes, I have a whole video on Lt. Pitzer...I have always felt very badly for his family...thanks for viewing!

[@gordondahle7844]

If you look at those old photos of the JFK assassination you see JFK and Jackie waving and smiling, but Governor Connelly didn’t smile and looked very serious. Connelly was in on the assassination plot and he knew that some bullets were going to be headed his way. That’s why he looked so serious. Johnson wanted Senator Ralph Yarbrough (whom he hated) to be in the car with JFK. He pitched quite a fit about it, but Kennedy stood firm with his decision to have Connelly in the car.

[@tvted12345]

Thanks Gordon...The Governor Connelly angle is one area that I have not researched much...thanks for the info!

[@realistictruckcamping2779]

I agree. Every picture of Connelly from that day he looks serious and angry. He scowls a lot. He knew and was scared deep down inside.

[@jimmycricket5366]

Good point and maybe that's what may have given jfk somewhat of a false sense of safety and security. At that point he had very little confidence in lbj and must've been wary.

[@davegaetano7118]

There are two ways to regard the Kennedy assassination. One is that the weight of evidence just does not add up to the single shooter theory. The second is that the implications of there being a conspiracy are really too terrible to contemplate, so people don't contemplate them.

[@tvted12345]

Great point Dave...and I think that is why no President will actually release what is really known!

[@jimmycricket5366]

That's the issue... You have to have the courage to cross that threshold. Comfortable ignorance is a terrible thing.

It is a gloomy thought .. that this Dulles / CIA gone wild era .. was parallel to the rise of television news. The nostalgia for the good old days of Walter Cronkite working at CBS under Bill Paley, an OSS / CIA heavyweight is sad. Decent as a gentleman, Cronkite's patriotism was used to lipstick up every pig in the sty... or bay. The Pentagon Papers had few revelations that Cronkite didn't already know and had good reasons to reject the cover stories.

Regarding Congo prime minister Lamumba, it was under incessant pressure upon the CIA to ‘get rid of him’ from President Eisenhower in 1960. So, this time the CIA did the president’s bidding. Pathetic.

[@tvted12345]

Yes, great point. American business interests were really the driving force behind the CIA and many political agendas....

[@liability69]

It is instructive to note that the Secret Service (Federal Protective Services), is one of at least three secret police forces controlled not by the President, but by the Secretary of the Treasury- who at the time of President Kennedy's murder was C.Douglas Dillon. Dillon was a notorious European-connected fascist who was very closely associated with the Rockefellers and a key member of the Rockefeller-led Council on Foreign Relations. The other two secret police forces that we know about that were controlled by the US Treasury, are the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Internal Revenue Service.

You should investigate the evidence that there were two 'Oswald's'. Review film and photos; notice that the man accused of the assassination has a receding hairline and prominent square jaw. Also, notice that the man known as 'Oswald' is at least 8 years older than the 23-year-old 'Oswald'. There is a book titled Harvey and Lee; it has all the evidence needed to prove there were two 'Oswald's'.

[@robertperry4439]

@@tvted12345 "JFK researcher John Armstrong has shown how the Federal Bureau of Investigation handed the Warren Commission a fable for public consumption about the Central Intelligence Agency's "Oswald Project." The fictional portrait of "Lee Harvey Oswald" that finally appeared in the Warren Commission Report combined the biographies of two young people, Russian-speaking HARVEY Oswald and American-born LEE Oswald. The Russian speaking youth, possibly of Hungarian parents, was brought to the U.S. following World War II and given the name HARVEY Oswald. HARVEY was of small stature, quiet, slightly malnourished, and lived with a short, heavy-set Marguerite Oswald impostor who never smiled. New Orleans born LEE Oswald was tall, husky, and athletic. As a youth LEE lived with half-brother John Pic, brother Robert Oswald, and his tall, nice-looking mother, Marguerite Claverie Oswald. A program created by US intelligence merged the identities of Russian-speaking HARVEY and American-born LEE Oswald. The result, ten years later, was that young Russian-speaking HARVEY had an American background and birth certificate. HARVEY was an ideal candidate to “defect” to the Soviet Union and work as an undercover agent who secretly understood Russian. HARVEY “defected” and two years later returned to America with a Russian wife and child. A year later this former “defector” was handing out literature in support of Castro and Cuba. Unknown to HARVEY, he had become the ideal candidate to frame for the assassination of President Kennedy. And also unknown to HARVEY were the activities of LEE Oswald in the summer and fall of 1963, when LEE was impersonating HARVEY and helping to set up HARVEY as the accused assassin of President Kennedy." In 1978 former CIA accountant James B. Wilcott swore under oath before the House Select Committee on Assassinations that Lee Harvey Oswald was a "regular employee" of the Central Intelligence Agency, and that Oswald received "a full-time salary for agent work for doing CIA operational work." He testified that he was told by other CIA employees that money he (Wilcott) had personally disbursed to an encrypted account was for "The Oswald Project” or for Oswald." Wilcott's testimony was kept secret for decades, but can now be read in full: harveyandlee.net/Wilcott/Wil_full.htm

I've wondered about the Mafia angle and whether they'd have picked Dallas, of all the places, to pull something off. Exactly, how prevalent and powerful were the Mob in that part of America? Wouldn't they have been far more likely to plan and carry out an attack in a city where they owned so many crooked cops, had so many safehouses, where they had real power and could excert some influence? I'm primarily thinking of New York, or Chicago (where a plot was discovered/foiled?). Was the reason it wasn't because they didn't want it to be in a Mob stronghold for fear of the consequences? I am, of course, posing these questions with full awareness that the Mafia could not, or would not, have moved against a president at all - or not without it being on behalf of other, more powerful groups. I just don't believe they'd dare expose themselves like that and potentially face the full weight of a rage filled federal government. Their only involvement would have been at a very low level - unless they knew that them taking a leading role would not be revealed and would be covered up by those in high office.
