The Truth: The Kennedy
Assassination
Paul Roberts, OpEdNews, 28.10.2017
J. Edgar Hoover, along with LBJ, Earl Warren and the members of
the Warren Commission understood that it was impossible to tell the
American people that their president has been assassinated by the US
military and US security agencies. At a dicey time of the Cold War,
clearly it would have been reckless to destroy Americans' trust in
their own government.
Some are pushing me to continue with the Las Vegas shooting story
while others are asking to know what to make of the release of files
pertaining to President Kennedy's assassination. I appreciate that you
are interested and are unsatisfied with official explanations.
My answer is that we already know, thanks to exhaustively
researched books such as James W. Douglass' JFK and the
Unspeakable (Simon & Schuster, 2008), far more than is
in the released files.
My answer is also that it doesn't matter what we know or what the
facts are, the official story will never be changed. For example, we
know as an absolute indisputable fact that Israel intentionally
attacked the USS Liberty inflicting enormous casualties on US Navy
personnel, and the US government continues the coverup that it was all
a mistake despite unequivocal statements to the contrary by the Moorer
Commission, led by Admiral Tom Moorer, former Chief of Naval
Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
My answer also is that time is better spent in trying to prevent
conspiracies in the making, such as the endless stream of lies and
accusations against Russia that are turning a friendly country into an
enemy and renewing the risk of nuclear armageddon. Indeed, the biggest
conspiracy theory of the present time is the one issuing from the
military/security complex, the Democratic National Committee, and the
presstitute media that Russia, in collusion with Donald Trump, hacked
the US presidential election.
The Russian government knows that this is a lie, and when they
see a lie repeated endlessly now for one year without a shred of
evidence to support it, the Russian government naturally concludes
that Washington is preparing the American people for war. I cannot
imagine a more reckless and irresponsible policy than destroying
Russia's trust in Washington's intentions. As Putin said, the main
lesson life has taught him is that "if a fight is unavoidable,
strike first."
If you really want to know who killed President Kennedy and why,
read JFK and the Unspeakable. Yes, there are other carefully
researched books that you can read.
Douglass concludes that Kennedy was murdered because he turned
to peace. He was going to work with Khrushchev to end the Cold
War. He refused the CIA US air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion. He
rejected the Joint Chiefs' Operation Northwoods, a plan to conduct
false flag attacks on Americans that would be blamed on Castro to
justify regime change. He refused to reappoint General Lyman Lemnitzer
as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He told US Marine commandant General
David Shoup that he was taking the US out of Vietnam. He said after
his reelection he was going to "break the CIA into 1,000 pieces."
All of this threatened the power and profit of the military/security
complex and convinced military/security elements that he was soft on
communism and a threat to US national security.
The film of the motorcade taken by Zapruder shows that the bullet
that killed Kennedy hit him from the front, blowing out the back of
his head. You can see Kennedy's wife Jackie reaching from the back
seat onto the trunk of the limo to recover the back of his head. Other
tourist films show moments before the shot the Secret Service agents
being ordered off of the presidential limo so that a clear shot at
Kennedy is possible. The film shows one Secret Service agent
protesting the order.
The Medical "Evidence"
The medical "evidence" that Kennedy was hit from behind
was falsified by medical doctors under orders. Navy medical corpsmen
who helped the Navy doctors with the autopsy testified that they were
dismayed by orders from Admiral Calvin Galloway to ignore entry wounds
from the front. One of the corpsmen testified "all at once I
understood that my country was not much better than a third world
country. From that point on in time, I have had no trust, no respect
for the government."
Dr Charles Crenshaw, one of the doctors forced to lie, later
broke his silence with a book and was rewarded with a fierce media
campaign to discredit him.
Lt. Commander William Pitzer, director of the Audio-Visual
Department of the Bethesda Naval Hospital, filmed the autopsy. The
film clearly showed the entry wound from the front. Pitzer was found
shot to death on the floor of the production studio of the National
Naval Medical Center. It was ruled a suicide, as always.
J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI knew that Oswald, who Douglass
believes was on the payroll of both the CIA and FBI, was sent to Cuba
by the CIA in order to establish the story for the patsy role Oswald
was unaware was being prepared for him. However, Hoover, along with
LBJ, Earl Warren and the members of the Warren Commission understood
that it was impossible to tell the American people that their
president has been assassinated by the US military and US security
agencies. At a dicey time of the Cold War, clearly it would have been
reckless to destroy Americans' trust in their own government.
I am not an expert. I have not spent 30 years or longer, as has
Douglass, investigating, interviewing witnesses, tracking down
unexplained deaths of witnesses, and piecing together the available
voluminous information. if you want to know what happened, put down
your smartphones, close your video screens, and read Douglass' -- or a
similar -- book.
