By Jim Fetzer and Larry RiveraLarry Rivera has discovered that those assigned to clean up the Zapruder film missed frame 343, where Jackie’s glove provides a background against which the defect’s outline becomes visible. Who had it right: Parkland (1963), Bethesda (1964) or the HSCA (1979)? Among the controversial aspects of the assassination of JFK has been the character and dimensions of the wound he sustained at the back (the back/top or the top) of his head. Physician after physician at Parkland Hospital, where his body was taken, reported that he had…
The JFK War: The Challenging Case of Robert Groden
by Jim Fetzer “The most productive mindset you can have is simply this: always, always, always have a belief system that doesn’t resist change. Go wherever the information leads you, without fear, because surely the truth is never something to dread.” – Darryl Sloan, Reality Check Air Force One landing at Love Field, Dallas, TX On the eve of the 50th observance of the death of JFK, it would appear to be timely to make an assessment, not only of what we know now that we didn’t know then, but of the contributions…
The JFK War: The Empire Strikes Back
by Jim Fetzer It did not take long for The Empire to strike back. In “The JFK War: An Insider’s Guide to Assassination Research”, I observed that other forums were less subtle in dealing with our new findings. On the “Deep Politics Forum”, for example, when I introduced a new thread, “JFK believe it or not: Oswald wasn’t even a shooter”, Charles Drago, who was a founding member and who dominates that forum, embedded it within an older thread, “TSBD Doorway man – Oswald or Lovelady?”, even boasting on the thread that he had…
The JFK War: An Insider’s Guide to Assassination Research III
by Jim Fetzer Josiah Thompson represents an especially stunning example of disinformation dissemination within the JFK research community, which appears to date from the publication of Six Seconds in Dallas (1967), for which he was lionized and even received coverage in the then-prominent Saturday Evening Post (2 December 1967), with a cover story about three assassins having fired four shots, one from the top of the County Records Building, two from the alleged “sniper’s nest” in the Book Depository, and one from the grassy knoll. On his account, the first shot (from the Book Depository)…
The JFK War: An Insider’s Guide to Assassination Research II
by Jim Fetzer Perhaps the most important trait of the human mind turns out to be the capacity to adjust your beliefs to the available evidence. When the available evidence changes, then our own subjective beliefs should follow suit, assuming that we are rational with respect to our beliefs. Rationality of belief, however, is not the only form of human rationality, which also concerns adopting actions that are appropriate, effective or reliable to accomplish our objectives, aims or goals. When we intend to deceive, mislead or otherwise misrepresent, we may pretend, feign…
The JFK War: An Insider’s Guide to Assassination Research
by Jim Fetzer As we approach the 50th observance of the death of our 35th president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the disinformation campaign is reaching a fever pitch. The ops appear to believe that, if they can only manage public opinion past that historical landmark, then it will be “all downhill” because no one is going to care about a 50-year old crime! Some involve key figures and websites are familiar to those of us who have been engaged in serious research on the assassination, as I have been since 1992, when…
JFK at 50: The Assassination of America
by Jim Fetzer The evidence substantiating the scenario of the assassination as a national security event is extensive and compelling. It has generated enormous resistance even within the JFK community, where several of those who presented their findings in Santa Barbara were banned in a massive effort to suppress the truth and preserve the illusion that it was an event of a different kind. The view that “the Mafia did it” or “the Cubans did it” or “the KGB did it” are frequently advanced, but none of them could possibly have affected the cover-up that…
Jim Garrison, The Warren Report and the End of the “Magic Bullet” Absurdity
by Jim Fetzerwith Larry Rivera The crux of The Warren Commission Report (1964) is the claim that the same bullet that hit JFK in the back also hit Gov. John Connally, which the report itself downplays the “magic bullet” theory as “not necessary to any essential findings of the Commission”. That is complete rubbish, however, since if the same bullet did not both exit JFK’s throat and enter John Connally’s back, then those wounds have to be accounted for on the basis of separate shots and separate shooters, which implies a conspiracy to…
The Missing Bullet chicanery of Joseph Ball, Attorney at Law
by Larry Rivera with Jim Fetzer “As with Watergate, numerous lawyers were involved with the Warren Commission; in neither case did these lawyers act as lawyers. Rather, they participated in a cover-up and acted as accessories in serious crimes.”–Howard Roffman, Presumed Guilty (1976) “If it is not an act of God, it is a conspiracy.” Jim Marrs (“The Real Deal”, 5/28/13) Joseph Ball spanned most of the 20th century as one of the top lawyers in the country. He cut his teeth in the oil and gas industry in the 1920’s and was…
JFK, the CIA and The New York Times
by Jim Fetzer “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” — William Colby, former CIA Director In 1977, Carl Bernstein, who would subsequently co-author All the President’s Men (1994) with Bob Woodward, one of the most celebrated books in American political history, published “The CIA and the Media”, Rolling Stone (October 20, 1977), reporting that, with respect to its infiltration of the American media, “By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.” Those who lent their cooperation…
