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…

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…
Did George H.W. Bush coordinate a JFK hit team?
by Richard Hooke George H.W. Bush, a Houston oil man, at the Texas School Book Depository, 22 November 1963 George H.W. Bush was working for the CIA at least as early as 1961; more than likely he was recruited in his college days, at Yale, when he was in the Skull and Bones Society. He and his wife Barbara moved to Houston where he ran an offshore oil drilling business, Zapata Offshore Co., which was a CIA front company with rigs located all over the world, making it very convenient…
JFK Conspiracy: The Bullet Hole in the Windshield
by Jim Fetzer Among the most controversial issues in JFK research has been the existence or not of a through-and-through hole in the windshield of the Lincoln limousine in which JFK was riding when he was assassinated in Dallas on 22 November 1963. As a long-time student of this question, I published an exceptional study by Douglas Weldon, “The Kennedy Limousine: Dallas 1963”, in Murder in Dealey Plaza (2000), in which he made the case for a shot from the above-ground sewer opening half-way between the roadway and the top of the…
What happened to JFK’s body? A cover-up “on the fly”
by Jim Fetzer with Douglas Horne EDITOR’S NOTE: For this study, I interviewed Douglas Horne , who served as the Chief Analyst for Military Records for theAssassination Records Review Board (ARRB), a five-member civilian panel established by Congress to declassify documents and records held by the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, and other agencies related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Its creation was motivated by the resurgence of interest in the case that was brought about by Oliver Stone’s “JFK”. George H.W. Bush, who was president at the time, adamantly opposed this legislation and, when it passed…
Reason and Rationality in Public Debate: The Case of JFK
by Jim Fetzer and Douglas Horne Photo published in LIFE incriminating Oswald As an illustration of the depravity of the main stream media in this country today, I have been struck by the astute observations of Douglas Horne, who was the Chief Analyst for Military Records for the Assassination Records Review Board, a five-member civilian board entrusted with the responsibility for declassifying documents and records held by the CIA, the NSA, the FBI and the Secret Service, among other agencies of the government, created by an act of Congress in the wake…

The second JFK limo stop / Holding back the Altgens6
by Larry Rivera and Ralph Cinque with Jim Fetzer “Ironically, Billy Lovelady really was in the doorway, but he was standing to the left of a far more interesting figure, the alleged assassin of our 35th president”–Jim Fetzer The Saturday Evening Post (14 December 1963) As we approach the 51st observance of the death of JFK, more and more mysteries surrounding the assassination are succumbing to the research efforts of a new generation of students and scholars.
