I guess that depends on what time zone you're in...#8-)
Dear Jerry: Warren Report is an all-time historic documentation of big brother govt sickness. And you are truly a jackass for the ages.
Do you have any idea why the Government refuses to declassify vast amounts of information on American POWs from WWII who were "liberated" by the Red Army from German POW camps? During the '90's, I and others had many FOIA requests concerning sightings of Americans in the Soviet GULAG turned down on National Security Grounds. We got a few reports released, but many, many thousands of pages of information remains classified. These were all specific documents we requested. It is said that many documents in the Eisenhower Library, concerning the POWs, will not be declassified during the life-time of anyone now alive. Is this the kind of thing you support?
Watching the real news accounts of those days made me realize what a different world we live in now. We were so naive, so trusting then.
The entire thing was so unbelievable to the viewer of it in the future mode when we know more, and are not so blindly trusting of the media and some politicans.
Oswalds murder was a joke! I was just amazed watching it as it was 25 years later, complete with an ambulance that just happened to be right outside! The obvious Ruby coming out of the crowd with that gun while the police just watch and do nothing to stop him!
I wish they would show all of this again, I am sure there is more we could see through different eyes now!
Did anyone else see this besides me? If so, did you experience the same amazement I did that the public bought this at the time?
The emergency room doctor who treated JFK died about a week ago.--No, it wasn't under suspicious circumstances. He just got old and died.
But he never changed his mind about one thing. The gunshots came from the front. You would think that an emergency room doctor at Parkland Hospital would know gunshot wounds--they see several each and every day.
When Specter interviews him the first time, Dr. Mac says that the neck wound was an entrance wound. The tracheostomy that was done in the ER, of course, obliterated the wound on the front of the neck, so it is only those who where there, Dr. Mac, Dr. Jones, Dr. Clark, Dr. Perry and others who were in a position to know what the neck wound was like. In particular the autopsy would provide no information. When Specter returns about a month later, he tells Dr. Mac something like "considering that we think JFK was shot from the back, with a round travelling at such and such a speed etc. etc. do you think the wound on the front was consistent with an exit wound?" Dr. Mac replies something to the effect of "with all the assumptions you stated, I guess it could be consistent". With that Specter thanks him and packs up and goes back to DC, mission accomplished. Parkland was and is a very busy trauma center and Dr. Mac would have seen hundreds if not thousands of such wounds and would have known the difference between and exit and entrance wounds, and never would have said it was one or the other if he were not sure.
For my money it's Dr. Mac's word against Arlen Specter's, and knowing Dr. Mac personally and knowing all that Arlen Specter has done since, I'll put my money with Dr. Mac and say that the neck wound was an entrance wound.
Also, if you believe the Warren Commission and the magic bullet theory, you have to believe that this most magical of all bullets, goes through JFK, hits Connolly's wrist, then his thigh, and then magically falls out and is found in pristine condition on a stretcher in the Parkland ER. I have spent many, many nights in the Parkland ER taking care of all sorts of gunshot wounds and I can assure one and all that I have never seen a bullet appear on a stretcher, pristine or otherwise after passing through folks. Things just don't work that way.
PART V. CONCLUSIONS
(148) Despite these efforts, the committee was not able to determine precisely what happened to the missing materials. The evidence indicates that the materials were not buried with the body at reinterment. It seems apparent that Angela Novello did remove the footlocker containing to the materials from the office of Mrs. Lincoln at the direction of Robert Kennedy, and that Herman Kahn had knowledge of this transaction. After the removal from Lincoln's office, Robert Kennedy most likely acquired possession of or at least personal control over these materials. Burke Marshall's opinion that Robert Kennedy obtained and disposed of these items himself to prevent any future public display supports this theory.
(149) There are least two possible reasons why Robert Kennedy would not have retained the autopsy photographs and X-rays. First, the only materials retained were physical specimens from the body of his brother: Tissue sections, blood smear slides, and the container of gross material. He may have understandably felt more strongly about preventing the misuse of these physical materials than the photographs and X-rays. Second, the Justice Department under Ramsey Clark pushed hard to acquire the photographs and X-rays but did not request the physical materials. Even if Robert Kennedy had wished to prevent the release of all the autopsy materials, he was not in a position to do so when confronted with Justice Department demands.
(150) Consequently, although the committee has not been able to uncover any direct evidence of the fate of the missing materials, circumstantial evidence tends to show that Robert Kennedy either destroyed these materials or otherwise rendered them inaccessible.
