JFK’s Death – What Really Happened

JFK could only have been killed in one of three ways: by Lee Harvey Oswald, by a conspiracy, or by friendly fire:

Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock is skeptical of Oswald’s alleged shooting feat. Hathcock was a former senior instructor at the U. S. Marine Corps Sniper Instruction School at Quantico, Virginia. He has been described as the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills.

Craig Roberts asked Hathcock about the marksmanship feat attributed to Oswald by the Warren Commission. Hathcock answered that he did not believe Oswald could have done what the Commission said he did. Added Hathcock:

“Let me tell you what we did at Quantico. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did.”

If a conspiracy killed JFK, Bobby Kennedy would have gone after the killers of his brother with the full powers of the federal government. He had a reputation as a ruthless and relentless investigator. There is absolutely no evidence that Bobby Kennedy pursued an investigation for any alleged conspirators.

The regular presidential detail, already exhausted, had decided to drink and party the night of November 21, 1963 rather then sleep. Some of the agents were even drinking Everclear, which is 190 proof. Some agents stayed up until 5 am. One of the drunk agents lost his Secret Service ID. The next morning, hungover agents recruited George Hickey, a non-drinker, who was normally assigned to the motor pool as a driver, to be be part of the protective team in the follow-up car behind Kennedy’s limo. Hickey was given the job of commanding the AR-15, a weapon he had never qualified on.

On November 22, 1963, as the presidential motorcade drove slowly through Dealey Plaza, something caused a loud noise, amplified by the surrounding buildings. Most bystanders said it sounded like a firecracker. Veteran agents thought it was a backfire. Secret Service agent George Hickey, riding in the left rear seat of the Secret Service follow-up car thought it was a gunshot. He picked up an AR-15, prepared to fire, and stood on the rear seat cushion.

The bullet produces tissue damage in three ways:

Laceration and crushing – Tissue damage through laceration and crushing occurs along the path through the body that a projectile, or its fragments, may produce. The diameter of the crush injury in tissue is the diameter of the bullet or fragment, up to the long axis.

Cavitation – A “permanent” cavity is caused by the path of the bullet itself with crushing of tissue, whereas a “temporary” cavity is formed by radial stretching around the bullet track from continued acceleration of the medium (air or tissue) in the wake of the bullet, causing the wound cavity to be stretched outward. At high velocity and with bullet yaw, the temporary cavity becomes larger.

Shock waves – At high velocity, shock waves can reach up to 200 atmospheres of pressure. Shock waves compress the air or tissue and travel ahead of the bullet, as well as to the sides.

The next day, all AR-15’s were removed from the Secret Service armory.

Bobby Kennedy was the fixer. He ordered the cover-up. He was the only one who had the authority to order the arrest and execution of an innocent Lee Harvey Oswald to deflect the blame and protect the government from world-wide shame. (Oswald was actually standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, watching the motorcade). All videos taken by bystanders were confiscated. The videos released to the public were edited by having the origin of the fatal shots removed from the film. The government has manufactured massive amounts of propaganda to confuse and deceive the public, and bury the truth as deeply as possible.

“The Echo from Dealey Plaza” by Abraham Bolden, the only black agent in the Secret Service, described the legendary partying of JFK’s Secret Service detail, and how he was railroaded to prison on trumped up charges by his fellow agents for telling the Warren Commission the truth about the Secret Service’s role in the “assassination.”

Today, Bolden, a 79-year-old retiree in Chicago, thinks that drinking definitely had something to do with the lackadaisical Secret Service performance during the Kennedy motorcade. “The biggest problem I ran into with the Secret Service when I was an agent was their constant drinking,” he told me. “When we would get to a place, one of the first things they would do was stock up with liquor. They would drink and then we would go to work.” On November 22, Bolden says, “their reflexes were definitely affected by, number one, the loss of sleep and, number two, the fact that [some may have] consumed that amount of alcohol.”

Quotes from the Vanity Fair article, “Could the Secret Service Have Saved JFK?” “Long work shifts and a tolerance for partying, drinking, and sometimes showing up for work with a hangover had become entrenched during J.F.K.’s years in office.” “Overworked and undermanned, the agency, under President Kennedy, had begun to skirt the department’s strictures. He was a risk-taker and a womanizer, who set a bad example.” “Agents acknowledged that the Secret Service’s socializing intensified each year of the Kennedy administration, to a point where, by late 1963, a few members of the presidential detail were regularly remaining in bars until the early morning hours,” investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh would note in his book The Dark Side of Camelot.” “From the beginning, the macho pride of the armed men of the service has made it a culture that has masked its weaknesses. Pride is not flexible and it does not ask for help. And since tough guys don’t complain, problems are often downplayed. Sleep and careful eating are for sissies. Training is for beginners.” “Even today, this old-school mindset has bedeviled the agency. It is still a culture of disaster — with changes made after problems — rather than a culture of prevention.”

You can buy an FBI map of Dealey Plaza on Ebay for about $15.00. You can draw a straight line from the Secret Service follow-up vehicle, to JFK’s limo, to where bystander James Tague was standing when he suffered a minor wound from the gunfire. It all lines up.

(Personal note: A journalist friend of mine knew JFK when he was a senator and used to go drinking with him. I asked him who really killed Kennedy. He said, “The goddamned Secret Service shot him right in the fucking head.”).?
