DC 'Big Event' Boosts Pressure To Disclose Suppressed JFK Records

Nearly a score of conference speakers here last weekend presented powerful evidence of a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and to maintain a cover-up that exists to the present.

Speakers documented again and again how a massive cover-up that began immediately after the president’s death has continued to the present despite a unanimous congressional vote in 1992 on the so-called “JFK Act” that required release of all relevant documents by a deadline of last October.

Co-keynoter Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, M.D., J.D., drew on six decades of medical training and practice to denounce yet again what he described as scientifically impossible official findings of the 1964 Warren Commission.

The Commission and its supporters claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin who killed Kennedy by shooting three shots from the president’s rear during a motorcade through downtown Dallas.

Wecht, an eminent forensic pathologist, author and former coroner portrayed in a file photo by Noel St. John above right, showed that extensive scientific evidence as well as common sense indicate that Oswald (shown in a passport photo below left) could not have fired the fatal shot — and so there must have been a conspiracy.

“What the hell is the problem?” he said of efforts by the CIA and other federal officials to suppress relevant records in violation of the 1992 law. “Just put the goddamn stuff out there!”

Concurring in that view was co-keynoter Roger Stone, the noted political operative and best-selling author of a book arguing that Kennedy’s successor Lyndon Johnson orchestrated the murder and a cover-up.
