THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Warren Commission report delivered to President Johnson – 1964

Via History.com

On this day in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson receives a special commission’s report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Since the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed by a man named Jack Ruby almost immediately after murdering Kennedy, Oswald’s motive for assassinating the president remained unknown. Seven days after the assassination, Johnson appointed the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy to investigate Kennedy’s death. The commission was led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and became known as the Warren Commission. It concluded that Oswald had acted alone and that the Secret Service had made poor preparations for JFK’s visit to Dallas and had failed to sufficiently protect him.

The circumstances surrounding Kennedy’s death, however, have since given rise to several conspiracy theories involving such disparate characters as the Mafia, Cuban exiles, military leaders and even Lyndon Johnson. The Warren Commission’s conclusion that Oswald was a “lone gunman” failed to satisfy some who witnessed the attack and others whose research found conflicting details in the commission’s report.

Critics of the Warren Commission’s report believed that additional ballistics experts’ conclusions and a home movie shot at the scene disputed the theory that three bullets fired from Oswald’s gun could have caused Kennedy’s fatal wounds as well as the injuries to Texas Governor John Connally, who was riding with the president in an open car as it traveled through Dallas’ Dealey Plaza that fateful day. So persistent was the controversy that another congressional investigation was conducted in 1979; that committee reached the same conclusion as the Warren Commission.

During its almost year-long investigation, the Warren Commission reviewed reports by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Secret Service, Department of State and the attorney general of Texas. It also pored over Oswald’s personal history, political affiliations and military record. Overall, the Warren Commission listened to the testimony of 552 witnesses and even traveled to Dallas several times to visit the site where Kennedy was shot. The enormous volume of documentation from the investigation was placed in the National Archives and much of it is now available to the public. Access to Kennedy’s autopsy records, though, are highly restricted. To view them requires membership in a presidential or congressional commission or the permission of the Kennedy family.

While Oswald did shoot JFK and for what reasons other then the obvious commie stuff, we’ll never know, the fatal shot was an accidental discharge from a SS Agent in the trailing car.

Oswald’s shot through the neck may have proven fatal, his bullet was a Full Metal Jacket-FMJ, as is typically used in long guns.

That point was rendered moot as a SS Agent had stood in the trailing car with an AR in his hands. As this car began to accelerate, he lost his balance and discharged the weapon. This weapon fired an entirely different type of bullet, a hollow point round-JHP. Upon striking the target, this bullet fragments into multiple small pieces, causing deadly harm. This bullet hit JFK in the head and was the fatal shot.

Oswald’s rifle was incapable of firing this round and the bullets that Oswald’s rifle could fire are incapable of producing that kind of wound.

At Parkland, the SS collected all fragments and X-rays and even JFK’s brain was declared untouchable as they covered up the accident.

This is detailed in The Smoking Gun.

Ballistics isn’t your strong point.

It doesn’t matter who actually pulled the trigger. Pick the story of your choice, including the cockamamie ones. What does matter is that on that occasion it became institutionalized that America was now the u.s. Warfare State. A President, familiar with the horror of mortal combat tried to thwart the forces of the deep state, who profit from it and was taken out.

Vote my ass.

I believe Oswald never fired on JFK. The simplicity of President Kennedy’s head snapping rearward from a front shot to the cranium is what ballistics and common sense are made of. For every action there is a reaction.

During the post, DeepState assassination investigation, FBI marksmen attempted to duplicate the alleged Oswald shots from his supposed perch in the Texas Book Depository. Using the same Mannlicher-Carcano and a target vehicle, they could not duplicate the shots Oswald supposedly made.
Further, do not forget the “Magic Bullet” theory created by Arlen Specter and the Warren Commission. Blatant lying as there ever was.

It does matter who killed John Kennedy. Amerika embraced the lies of the Warren Commission and we’ve been fed lies ever since.

I’ve been to Dealey Plaza and the 6th floor museum. The truth of what happened that day will probably never come out, but it is the one thing never discussed.

X’s are painted in the street where the bullets struck. The scene at the sixth floor window has been preserved (or re-created). The window remains open. The first shot doubtlessly came from that window. Whether or not it was fired by Oswald is a matter of conjecture. I suspect it wasn’t.
The fatal shot came from the so-called “grassy knoll” which is really a highway embankment leading to a parking lot. The parking lot is ringed by trees and has a wooden fence backed by a chain link fence. You can toss a rock from the fence to where the car passed when the fatal bullet struck. A piece of cake shot. However from that vantage point you cannot see where the first bullet struck. A cement wall blocks the view. I believe the entire reason the first shot was fired from the book depository building was to direct everyone’s eyes to that direction, so that the kill shot would come from behind. It didn’t matter if the shot actually hit anything but that would be a bonus. It is a perfect setup. With all the commotion after the shots and everybody looking in that direction, nobody would have seen or even thought of looking at the fence behind which somebody, perhaps Howard Hunt, quickly got into his car and quietly drove away.

So who did it? I am convinced there were three primary actors.

1) The CIA, with whom JFK had poor relations especially after the Bay of Pigs, plus he killed Operation Northwoods. He threatened to abolish the agency entirely. He also sought to defuse tensions with the USSR, which would have been bad for the military industrial complex.

2) Israel. JFK was practically at war with Israel over their secret Dimona nuclear facility, which he demanded they open for inspection. Ben Gurion claimed it was a textile factory.

3) Meyer Lansky and the Jewish pro-zionist mob, with which Jack Rubenstein had relations. (He is always referred to by his nickname “Ruby” rather than his full name to hide his Jewishness).

Oswald was, as he said, a patsy. He had only worked in the book depository building for a month.

So there you have it. The CIA planned and executed the event. Israel worked through the mob to assist. The rest is history. As much as I despise Johnson, I believe he had nothing to do with it.

The Mafia had to have played a part. RFK was up till then torturing the mob, against NOLA mobster Carlos Marcello and especially so against Hoffa and the Central States Pension Fund which was what they used to finance Las Vegas. When Castro threw the mob out of Cuba Tampa boss Santo Trafficante was taken into custody in Havana. Castro ransomed him off with a $500k cash bribe. The man who delivered the cash? Immigration documents prove it was Jack Rubinstein.

I agree with you except Johnson was in on it neck deep. Proof is the whole signing in ceremony on AF-1. The Constitution says succession is automatic; no need for a ceremony. Unless it’s for the black arts. 2nd proof is what happened the next day when Johnson unleashed the war gates on Vietnam. Payback to the neocons for giving him the new job.

I have no idea the actual truth of the assassination, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t what the official story tells us.

People can – and do – argue endlessly about the details of the JFK assassination. For many of those details, there is not and I doubt there ever will be any certainty. But the bottom line WRT the Warren Commission Official Story is certain: It is absolutely physically impossible for Oswald to have done all the shooting, and all of the legitimate, real evidence indicates that he didn’t do any of the shooting.

BTW, the SS accidental discharge theory ranks right up – or, properly speaking, down – there with no planes at WTC as psy-op disinfo horseshit.

There is evidence that Nixon was in Dallas that day, that George H.W. Bush was in Dallas that day, Ford sat on the Warren Commission, Arlen Specter served as Assistant Council to the Warren Commission…….you do the math.
