The country has been lied to for 82 years with the Warren Report, the Lee Harvey Oswald as the only shooter story...guess this explains Jack Ruby somehow getting access to the Dallas Police Dept. to do his own assassination.

Somebody paid him but with all this time passed we'll probably never find out.

Every detail. By the '00s, I was satisfied that Warren made the right call. The point is, if there was a conspiracy, almost all of them are dead, without a smoking gun in the remaining written documents.

Jack had his brains blown out. Jackie was cradling his head, trying to keep what remained together.

animosity and hatred that drove evil entities to kill them? Was it Cubans, organized crime, government enemies?

And I thought it was pretty amazing that the doctor who examined President Kennedy was still available to testify!

p.s. And it's been 61 years, unbelievable as that is...

It’s called JFK: What the Doctor’s Saw. Basically, seven of the Parkland doctors talking about what they saw vs. what the official story described. Absolutely fascinating, and made me rethink some of what I knew of the assassination.

The man pictured in the image is a Mr. Hardway who was in his mid-twenties when he worked as an investigator for the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1977-78. In the video, he testifies that the CIA prevented him from seeing several secret documents and later essentially lied that the documents had been reviewed by him.

As for Doctor Don Curtis, he was twenty-six years old when JFK was brought to the Parkland Hospital Emergency Room. I think he is the doctor who performed the tracheostomy on JFK. From my past reading, I believe the tracheostomy opening was placed at the site of the wound at the front of JFK's neck.

13. 1st shot got him in the neck

He responded by clutching his throat which would be the normal reaction for anyone. The second one blew off a significant portion of one side of the top back of his top skull. That's exactly what the Zapruder film showed. Both shots striking from the same angle although the car was still moving away from the target. Some more bullshit for the rePUKES to distract from their lunatic cult leader in the WH. Let's start an investigation of Joe Biden's cognitive function?

Kennedy's two wounds (throat, head) were caused by bullets fired from in front. And the "magic bullet never" even hit Kennedy, per this doctor.

Going through his throat took an unusually odd path. It was from a rifled barrel and a small diameter bullet. All that energy can produce crazy outcomes. This is a republican distraction with zero relevance on today's political world. Everyone who was 30 and older is either dead or dying soon. That's my take on the whole rehash BS here. As a teenager in the 1970s, every now and then there'd be some lunacy about Hitler surviving WW2. Some huckster trying to make a buck.

A quick look at its titles or content (such as Republicans at committee hearings) indicates their videos are geared towards attracting Breitbart fans.
