The Kennedy Assassination (November 22, 1963) 50 Years Later
http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/34768/Paul-Craig-Roberts-The-Kennedy-Assassination-November-2 ^ | November 22, 2013 | Paul Craig Roberts

Posted on 11/22/2013 3:56:56 PM PST by B4Ranch

November 22, 2013, is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The true story of JFK's murder has never been officially admitted, although the conclusion that JFK was murdered by a plot involving the Secret Service, the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been well established by years of research, such as that provided by James W. Douglass in his book, JFK And The Unspeakable, published by Simon & Schuster in 2008. Ignore Douglass's interest in the Trappist monk Thomas Merton and Merton's prediction and focus on the heavily documented research that Douglass provides.

Or just turn to the contemporary films, taken by tourists watching JFK's motorcade that are available on YouTube, which show clearly the Secret Service pulled from President Kennedy's limo just prior to his assassination, and the Zapruder film that shows the killing shot to have come from President Kennedy's right front, blowing off the back of his head, not from the rear as postulated in the Warren Commission Report, which would have pushed his head forward, not rearward.

I am not going to write about the assassination to the extent that the massive information permits. Those who want to know already know. Those who cannot face the music will never be able to confront the facts regardless of what I or anyone else writes or reveals.

To briefly review, the facts are conclusive that JFK was on terrible terms with the CIA and the Joint Chiefs. He had refused to support the CIA organized Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. He had rejected the Joint Chiefs' "Operation Northwoods," a plan to commit real and faked acts of violence against Americans, blame Castro and use the false-flag events to bring regime change to Cuba. He had rejected the Joint Chiefs case that the Soviet Union should be attacked while the US held the advantage and before the Soviets could develop delivery systems for nuclear weapons. He had indicated that after his reelection he was going to pull US troops out of Vietnam and that he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces. He had aroused suspicion by working behind the scenes with Khrushchev to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis, leading to claims that he was "soft on communism." The CIA and Joint Chiefs' belief that JFK was an unreliable ally in the war against communism spread into the Secret Service.

It has been established that the original autopsy of JFK's fatal head wound was discarded and a faked one substituted in order to support the official story that Oswald shot JFK from behind. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and President Johnson knew that Oswald was the CIA's patsy, but they also understood, as did members of the Warren Commission, that to let the true story out would cause Americans to lose confidence in their own government at the height of the Cold War.

Robert Kennedy knew what had happened. He was on his way to being elected president and to holding the plotters accountable for the murder of his brother when the CIA assassinated him. A distinguished journalist, who was standing behind Robert Kennedy at the time of his assassination, told me that the killing shots came from behind past his ear. He submitted his report to the FBI and was never contacted.

Acoustic experts have conclusively demonstrated that more shots were fired than can be accounted for by Sirhan Sirhan's pistol and that the sounds indicate two different calibers of firearms.

I never cease to be amazed by the gullibility of Americans, who know nothing about either event, but who confidently dismiss the factual evidence provided by experts and historians on the basis of their naive belief that "the government wouldn't lie about such important events" or "someone would have talked." What good would it do if someone talked when the gullible won't believe hard evidence?

In other words, "I have no facts, just my opinion . . . that trumps them all."

Could have been but I wonder about that AR-15’s round that was fired....where did the spent shell casing eject to? Did anyone pick it up? Did any of the 11 witnesses smelling gun smoke see any kind of muzzle blast/flash from the AR-15 when it was fired? Then there are the now well known and researched failed/foiled motorcade JFK assassination plots in Chicago on 11/2/63 or Tampa Florida on 11/18/63. (nobody speaks much of those 2 for some reason). Neither one of those 2 obviously made it to the shooting stage as they were disrupted ahead of time but No. 3, Dallas on 11/22/63 of course, ‘worked’. Who knows if the truth will ever come out.

I am from Earth. The comment means that even those who believe the US government was involved use evidence provided by the US government to attempt to determine "TRUTH."

For example, Oliver Stone in "JFK" used the Zapruder film and autopsy photos provided by the government, sometimes without question. To solve the case, you have to use information the US government could not have forged. (I do use some of their information to solve the mystery BUT it is information the scoundrels did not change, they didn't know they needed to back in 1964).

So how do you solve the shooting mystery? This video shows how. For anyone to believe that there is a way to prove anything, you have to verify it yourself. For what I show, that should take less than an hour for a reasonably intelligent person. Then if you look at probabilities involved with this information, it goes from unbelievable to oh my gosh very quickly.

A way to PROVE what happened during the shooting

Well, it is complicated so I will have to go over it some more.

If your hypothesis is true, who fired the second shot that hit JFK? It's a wonder they never hit Jackie. She was the true heroine that day even though she was obviously acting on instinct.

Disgusting that she had to stand next to LBJ. Who can ever forget that blood-soaked pink dress? I don't know why she didn't change her clothes.

I don't know. Now there are things that can't be talked about so maybe that's why there are holes in the official story.

Go to the post three up from this one. It is about Ramesh Raskar and femto photography. It shows in the video a picture of a bullet that has just through an apple, taken at a speed of 1/1,000,000 of a second. See how much blow back of apple matter there is. Explains how part of Kennedy’s head was blown backwards by the bullet from Oswald’s gun.

Who knows if the truth will ever come out.

IF the government was involved in the assassination, don't you think that there is likely forged evidence and lies to hide the truth? Many people who have carefully looked at the assassination evidence see signs of forgery. SO if you wanted to SOLVE this murder mystery, it would obviously be reasonable to treat everything the US government held as evidence as suspect.

As you probably know, the US government (FBI) confiscated all of the Dallas evidence and took it to Washington, therefore, only they could have forged information to hide the truth. So what is available to solve the case?

This video shows there are TWO INDEPENDENT ways to determine the time between shots. It shows that the timing using both ways is the same for the last three shots. That PROVES that both are valid which shows a conspiracy killed JFK. Because evidence was obviously forged to hide the truth, it means the US federal government had a powerful conspiracy that killed JFK.

Connally made two of the fastest movements seen in the Zapruder film. One was 4.8 seconds BEFORE and one was 0.7 seconds AFTER JFK was shot in the head. Everyone knows about the movement 4.8 seconds before but the movement 0.7 seconds after JFK was shot in the head is one of the biggest secrets in the assassination.

TWO INDEPENDENT WAYS TO TIME THE SHOTS, INFORMATION THE US GOV'T COULDN'T HIDE/

The average American has been convinced this is a mystery that no one can solve. It has never been a mystery to the insiders, it has always been a lie. Yes, you can know the truth, simply think instead of listening to the lies. This "unsolved" mystery is due to psychological reasons anchored in disbelief, not technical reasons which easily solve the shooting mystery. Once you know what happened during the shooting, you can know who was behind the assassination. The conspirators fingerprints are all over the lies the US government provides as truth.

Look at the news today, the US government learned how to tell huge lies a half century ago. Why should they stop? The press couldn't figure out what color the sky is unless the Ministry of TRUTH tells them the answer. Fool the press and you fool America.

I have seen at least 15 head wounds where the impact of the shrapnel or bullet entered and exited the skull. The entry wound was always the smaller wound and in no case was brain matter blown backwards (towards the initiating line of fire). The skin of an apple is not comparable to the skin on a human head.

Was an empty shell casing that would have been ejected out into the street or into the crowd on the sidewalk from the Secret Service Agent’s AR-15 upon him firing it, either on purpose or accident, ever been produced?

If you agree with this theory, any idea that after the AR-15 was fired, who picked up the fired round’s ejected empty shell casing off of the street or sidewalk or what became of it?

I can only show you what happened if you are willing to spend some time thinking and verifying what should make perfect sense IF you can grasp that you have been lied to. All of your questions about what happened can be answered if you start at the end. When that makes sense, you can fill in the other pieces of the puzzle. Be patient and you can be one of the few people who know what happened when JFK was shot.

Texas Governor John Connally sat almost directly in front of JFK. He made a dramatic reaction 4.8 seconds BEFORE JFK was shot in the head. That is the point the US government (and press) contend he was shot in the back. Consider the possibility that Connally was NOT shot in the back but received another wound at that point.

If you look at frame 266 from the Zapruder film which is a few seconds AFTER his first reaction to a shot, you see Governor Connally turned to look over his right shoulder several seconds AFTER the gov't says he was shot in the back. That hardly looks like a man who was shot in the back seconds earlier.

At frame 313, JFK was shot in the head, no one disputes that.

A split second after JFK was shot in the head, Connally makes another very rapid movement. Frame 324 is right before frame 327 which is right AFTER Connally is bent over.

Frame 324 and 327 are just (327 - 324)/ 18.3 frames per second or about 1/6th of a second apart How did Connally's head move so quickly? If he was shot in the back about 5.5 seconds earlier, how did his head snap downward so rapidly? The OBVIOUS answer is that Connally was shot in the back a split seconds after JFK was shot in the head.

From what we have seen, it looks like there was a shot fired at frame 224. That is (313 - 224)/ 18.3 frames per second. That means a shot looks like it was fired 4.8 seconds BEFORE JFK was shot in the head.

Connally's head moves rapidly (325 - 313)/18.3 frames per second or 0.7 seconds AFTER JFK is shot in the head.

SUMMARY: IT can be argued that the last three shots look like they were fired 4.8 seconds and 0.7 seconds apart when looking at the Zapruder film.

Consider the second way that can be used to determine the timing of the shots. This is a screen capture from a TV "documentary", I changed nothing.

You obviously notice that the last three shots are separated 4.8 seconds and 0.7 seconds apart!

If you understand this to this point, you know sevearal things:

1. The US Gubermint lied to hide the truth, they couldn't have been so incompetent to miss that the last two shots were fired BANG-BANG. I can show you MANY witnesses that said that is what they heard BUT the US Gubermint said those were echoes, not separate shots. The first (of the last two shots) was fired from the right front. It drove JFK's head directly away from the gunman on the grassy knoll. The last shot fired from behind (TSBD shot #3) missed JFK's head and hit Connally in the back, driving him forward directly away from the gunman.

2. The audio analysis correlation allows not only the timing of the shots to be identified, it allows a method to determine the location of each of the shots that were fired. The HSCA audio experts made mistakes but they were not allowed to do more testing. If they would have, you would have known decades ago who the conspirators were in the US government.

3. Vince Bugliosi's book RECLAIMING HISTORY contains a large amount of useful information as he is an excellent researcher. Unfortunately for him, his technical skills reveal he had no idea what he was looking at. Bugliosi calls the audio evidence "a bill of goods" when in fact using it and the Zapruder film together allows the JFK assassination to be solved.

4. Once you know what actually happened during the shooting and compare it to the gubermint's lone shooter lies, it leads to a couple of big names in the US gubermint. Yes, you can know who was behind the JFK assassination.

5. The US gubermint discovered a half century ago how easy it was to lie to Americans. Fool the presstitutes and you fool America. You cannot understand US history since the JFK assassination unless you understand how they lied to hide the truth. When Hussein Obama lied about Benghazi, he knew how easeily it is to fool the presstitutes. As long as the presstitutes are confused, America flounders.

Of course this does NOT pass the smell test because if what I showed you is correct, then there are over a thousand books on the JFK assassination that are WRONG. If you followed the story this far, you get to decide if you can still reason and think without the gubermint and the lapdog presstitutes telling you the answers.

If you watch this video, it may make more sense.

One of the BIGGEST lies in the JFK assassination
