CAIRNS Information has aired various theories across the assassination of President John F. Kennedy however not till now the testimony of a jailed felony who says he fired the one shot from the notorious “grassy knoll” that killed the president.
James E. Information’ confession was recorded in the course of the Nineteen Nineties and launched with little to no fanfare final yr as a movie by the YouTube channel Documentary Central aka DocCentral. For no matter causes, in all probability the sheer quantity of fabric on YouTube and the flexibility of YouTube algorithms to funnel or censor preferences, we’ve got solely simply been made conscious of this documentary.
Information first made his confession 1992 to Houston non-public investigator, the late Joe West, whereas serving his 50-year sentence for the 1991 tried murders of two law enforcement officials. Information was launched on parole in 2016.
Wikipedia cites the LA prosecutor Vincent Bufliosi as saying that of “those that consider in such a conspiracy only a few consider Information’s claims warrant severe consideration”. “Nevertheless, conspiracy writer Jerome Kroth described Information as “surprisingly credible” and mentioned his story “is essentially the most plausible and persuasive” in regards to the assassination.
In the meantime, the silly Related Press claimed final yr that newly launched paperwork associated to Kennedy’s assassination “gave curious readers extra particulars Wednesday into Chilly Warfare-era covert U.S. operations in different nations however didn’t initially lend credence to long-circulating conspiracy theories about who killed JFK.”
“An preliminary Related Press assessment of greater than 63,000 pages of data launched this week reveals that some weren’t instantly associated to the assassination however quite handled covert CIA operations, significantly in Cuba. And nothing within the first paperwork examined undercut the conclusion that Kennedy murderer Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.”
AP’s article quotes at size Philip Shenon, who wrote a 2013 e book in regards to the assassination. “I haven’t seen any large blockbusters that rewrite the important historical past of the assassination, however it is extremely early.” It it clear that “very early” is an excuse to place apart essentially the most related info.
We be aware that AP mentioned its “preliminary assessment” of 63,000 pages didn’t undercut the lone-gunman story. And that’s the place they depart it. Is the AP doing an additional assessment? We don’t know, however right here we see an instance of mainstream media weaseling its manner round info that would depart large quantities of egg on their faces.
In the meantime the Information’ confession aligns with the assassination idea that the CIA co-opted members of the Mob to do the killling. Information named organized crime figures Charles Nicoletti, Johnny Roselli, and Sam Giancana, as being intimately concerned within the crime of the century.
The one obvious hole in Information’ testimony is the position of nightclub proprietor Jacob Rubenstein, aka Jack Ruby, who handed a planning map and ID badges to one in all Information’ colleagues within the operation. Who Ruby represented isn’t said, though the Jewish arm of the mob and the Israeli Mossad is likely to be a superb beginning place.
Information named his CIA handler as David Atlee Phillips, a CIA officer of 25 years and a recipient of the Profession Intelligence Medal, who rose to turn into the CIA’s chief of operations for the Western Hemisphere. Phillips is a real image of CIA evil.
Information’ says his “shock helper” was none apart from the notorious self-proclaimed patsy, the late Lee Harvey Oswald. who remains to be named in Wikipedia as “a U.S. Marine veteran who assassinated John F. Kennedy”. Organised historical past doesn’t die simply. “All over I had Lee Harvey Oswald with me,” Information instructed his interviewer.
Information’ extremely detailed testimony has the ring of reality about it. Both that or he’s a superb liar. A photograph of Information taken by Oswald reveals him to be in all probability in his late teenagers or early 20s in 1963. He had obtained army coaching.
Information says he knew Phillips and Oswald from a earlier operation through which they ran semi-automatic, 45-calibre sub-machine weapons to Clinton Alabama, the place he was launched to Oswald by Phillips, who mentioned Oswald may very well be trusted and that he was his controller.
Oswald, in fact, realized together with his life that whereas he may very well be trusted, these above him couldn’t, and he was sacrificed for comfort’s sake by the pistol weilding “Jack Ruby”.
One other one in all Information’ accomplices was Johnny Roselli, who was concerned within the CIA’s Cuban operations from Florida. Information was taken by Roselli to a gathering at Fort Value with Ruby, who was apparently not trusted by Roselli, who requested Information to cowl him within the room the place they met.
Ruby, nonetheless, was clearly concerned within the operation. He handed Roselli an envelope containing what seemed like law-enforcement-style ID wallets with badges and a map of the president’s motorcade route by Dealey Plaza.
Earlier Rosetti had instructed Information that the CIA wished to abort the operation, and once they returned to Dallas, Charles Nicoletti, took over the operation and took Information to Dealey Plaza to surveil the placement.
Nicoletti mentioned Rosetti didn’t need to go in opposition to CIA orders and was flown in particularly to abort the operation. Nicoletti, nonetheless, mentioned it was “nonetheless on” and the one one that may abort the mission so far as he was involved was the mob No. 2 man Sam Giancano, who operated underneath Tony Accardo, the Chicago mob boss.
Nicoletti requested Information to be the back-up shooter, and Information agreed, saying he can be honoured to do no matter he was requested. He mentioned he beforehand thought he can be merely supporting the operation in weapons transport and so forth.
The video options the Zapruder movie and information reviews on the day of the assassination that we’ve got seen and coronary heart many instances. Information describes intimately his preparation to take the shot with a scope, which introduced his goal very shut.
2025 was additionally the yr {that a} US Home of Congress Oversight Committee held hearings, one in all which included Douglas Horne (Ex-Govt Worker Tells Congress JFK X-Rays ‘Truly Reveal A Whole Of three Headshots,’ Data Lacking) a former member of the John F. Kennedy Assassination Data Evaluate Board (ARRB) for the ultimate three years of its four-year lifespan from August of 1995 by September of 1998.
Horne was employed as a senior analyst on the army data crew and was promoted early in 1997 to go the army data crew, serving as chief analyst for army data till the ARRB shutdown on September thirtieth, 1998.
Throughout his time on the workers, along with securing the declassification and public launch of army data associated to Cuba and Vietnam coverage, he labored extensively within the medical proof area and to function the assessment board’s level man on points associated to the Zaprruder movie of Kennedy’s assassination.
“Though the assessment board was not empowered to reinvestigate the assassination or generate conclusions or findings of reality, the board did select to aim to make clear the file of sure features of the assassination by taking the depositions of 10 individuals who participated in or who have been current on the post-mortem on President John F. Kennedy and by later taking one further joint deposition of 5 of the Dallas treating physicians,” Horne instructed the committee.
“I served because the principal analysis assistant to the assessment board’s common counsel, Jeremy Gun, in making ready for and conducting our 10 depositions of the members and witnesses to JFK’s post-mortem, and was current in any respect 10 of these depositions.
“The sworn testimony of our 10 deponents, in addition to quite a few written interview reviews of further unsworn medical witnesses, have been all deposited within the Nationwide Archives within the JFK data assortment with out remark or endorsement.”
In subsequent years, Horne wrote a five-volume memoir about his personal private conclusions concerning the medical proof and defined the substantial methods through which the work of the ARRB workers “considerably enhanced the totality of the medical proof and our understanding of how President Kennedy was killed”.
“Some excellent questions have been resolved, however many different questions have been raised by the knowledge we gathered – questions that stay unresolved at present. And that is the center of my oral testimony right here.”
Horne says many People stay troubled at present by the numerous conflicts throughout the JFK medical proof and what they may imply. “And so they stay unhappy with the official conclusions provided up by each the Warren Fee in 1964 and the HSCA (Home Choose Committee on Assassinations) Forensic Pathology Panel in 1979.” he mentioned.
Horne has concluded that there are ample causes for the disquiet of so lots of the American folks, such because the eight completely different units of pictures recognized with confidence to have been taken in the course of the post-mortem on JFK that aren’t within the official assortment at present and by no means have been.
He says some post-mortem pictures within the official assortment on the Nationwide Archives are in gross disagreement with the top and neck wounds universally noticed on November twenty second, 1963 by the treating physicians at Parkland Hospital, which they recorded in exact element of their remedy notes that day and of their subsequent 1964 testimony.
Different points cited by Horne embrace:
- Not less than two and probably three JFK cranium X-rays uncovered at Bethesda Naval Hospital are lacking at present and have by no means been within the official assortment. Optical densitometry reveals that each one three surviving cranium X-rays aren’t originals however quite are altered copy movies.
- Two extremely certified and revered MDs who have been granted repeated entry by the Kennedy household to the post-mortem pictures and X-rays within the deed of present assortment on the archives agree that the extent JFK cranium X-rays reveal unambiguous and clear proof of two head shot fired from in entrance of the president.
- Opposite to the findings of the Warren Fee and the HSCA, the JFK cranium X-rays really reveal a complete of three head shot, one from behind and two from the entrance.
- The so-called Harper fragment of cranium bone, a vital merchandise of proof signed for by the president’s army doctor and photographed and X-rayed by the FBI, has been lacking since late in 1963.
- Many bullet fragments recognized to have been faraway from President Kennedy’s physique at Bethesda Naval Hospital have been by no means positioned into the official file and are lacking at present.
- The stays of President Kennedy’s mind following its examination have been positioned in a stainless-steel container in 1963, however the mind is lacking at present. As many individuals know already, that stainless-steel container and an authentic signed post-mortem report have been amongst supplies transferred from the Secret Service to Senator Robert F. Kennedy in April of 1965. These supplies and others weren’t among the many supplies returned to the US authorities by RFK on October thirty first, 1966 by way of a deed of present to the Nationwide Archives.
- The Kennedy household lawyer Burke Marshall, instructed the HSCA that Robert F. Kennedy had made these supplies completely inaccessible with out offering particulars. The 14 mind pictures within the Nationwide Archives at present can’t be and aren’t pictures of John F. Kennedy’s mind.
- The chain of custody of President Kennedy’s physique previous to the beginning of the post-mortem shortly after 8.00 PM on November twenty second, 1963 clearly seems to have been damaged, casting much more doubt upon the reliability of the official post-mortem report.
- And eventually, Navy pathologists arrived at 4 units of differing conclusions about President Kennedy’s wounds and the way he died throughout the two weeks after his dying. The official post-mortem report that’s now within the Nationwide Archives represents solely the fourth and closing set of conclusions.
- This reality maybe greater than any of the others above is patently unacceptable within the nation that prides itself because the world’s best democracy.
