After
fifty long years, the huge 26 volume Warren Commission Report is still
unbelievable to 85% of the American people. And we are no closer to
understanding the What, Why, and Who of the events. Except to suggest it
was a coup d'etat of democracy. But it is not going away.
Tidbits of information about the perps, if indeed they are the perps,
continue to emerge. Even the side issue here about Officer Tippit
remains of high interest.

49 years and counting .... November 24
It seems that even
after this long long time it would be apropos to repost a couple of
things about that infamous day in history. There are still a few reads
you can research yourself. But even if you do, they still lead to
nothing but even more questions about what actually happened that day in
Dallas .....

Today in History - November 24
Lee Harvey Oswald.
While the world was still reeling at the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, we saw the alleged
perpetrator of the crime, caught and killed only two days later, and on
national TV!
And these many years on we can only marvel at the
speed with which his apprehension for the crimes happened. And the
positive assertion that Oswald was undoubtedly the lone killer of
Officer Tippit and Kennedy.
All these instant conclusions would be
astounding even in todays era of nanosecond web communication. Yet over
these years so many nagging doubts still evoke questions.
Oswald
was supposed to have shot Kennedy from a 6th floor coign of vantage in
the Texas Schoolbook Depository, with a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. But
first it was identified as a 7.65 Italian Mauser, by sherrifs and FBI
Special Agents. Affidavits were signed. Then it became a 6.5 Carcano
rifle. Why? Because the FBI discovered that Oswald HAD purchased a
Carcano, but NOT a Mauser. And even other rifles are now mentioned. And
it took a world class marksman from the Army to nearly duplicate the 3 shots in 4.5 second feat! Other trained US Marine snipers said it could not be done.
And
an almost perfect bullet 'appeared' on the stretcher bearing the
President's body. A bullet that went through TWO bodies. That looks as
if the Lone Ranger put it there!
Oswald was even identified by someone who SAW him up there from across the street! Is that believeable today?
Oswald
was supposedly seen being questioned by Tippit shortly after leaving
his job and taking to the streets. Witnesses said they saw him shoot
Tippit. They even saw him REloading his handgun while fleeing! Does that
sound like a frightened killer? Yet other witnesses said another car
pulled up, a man got out and shot Tippit and then roared away! Someone
else saw two men who were NOT Oswald. Witnesses even identified a different
assailant as heavy set, wearing a long overcoat. Many witnesses claimed
intimidations and threats about their testimonys. Several eye-witnesses
died soon after.
The Warren Commission ignored most of it.
And
what was Officer Tippit up to on the hour before he died? Why was he
far out of his patrol area? Why did he suddenly rush to 10th Street and
stop to make a phone call in a cafe but only listened and said nothing?
Why did he seem panicked when he made the call? He left his car radio
at a crucial time. Then he was seen cruising very slowly. Why was Tippit
known in the area he died in? Some witnesses thought he lived nearby.
But it was miles from his patrol area and his home?
How
did anyone know Oswald's path of exit? Was it coincidence?
Happenstance? Or enemy action? Officer Tippit was directed exactly where
to go, minutes after the murder. Then radioed back when he was in
position. Why was Tippit directed to 10th St? Was he? The Dallas police
lieutenant who may have directed Tippit that day, Harry Dean Thomas,
married his widow three years later.
The shells from the shooting
were gathered by policeman, J.M. Poe, and he marked them with his
initials, however the shell casings eventually entered into evidence had
no such markings.
Oswald went to his rooming house
first. Who were the two policemen who stopped in front, gave two horn
honks and went away? Then he went to a movie theatre. Why did he go
there instead of staying on a bus and getting far away? Was he under a
prearranged instruction to go to that theatre? Part of a plan to have
him where someone wanted him? Did someone give him a revolver there?
Perhaps the very revolver just used to kill Tippit? Perhaps by the very
person who DID kill Tippit? The revolver in his possession was fully
loaded with no empty chambers. And he had no additional ammunition with
him. So if Oswald shot Tippit four times, and REloaded, then he must
have had only had four extra bullets with him? Seems too odd, doesn't
it?
Oswald was constant in his claim that he was a
patsy. He was innocent. He never shot anybody. And more than one scholar
who has gone through the whole case has said the Mexico and Soviet
Union implications could have easily pointed to Oswald being a CIA spy.
Alas,
all these years later we are still suspicious, yet nowhere near
advanced in our factuals about how it happened. The circumstances seem
just too complex. The evidence now too scattered. Diffused. Lost.
Misinformation and disinformation. Indeed, but we have more questions
than ever.
His actions seem to be a response to suddenly
realizing he had been set up. Confusion, desperation, the compounding of
events leading him to take a predetermined escape route as his only
hope. A route designed by who?
Lee Harvey Oswald was never actually charged with killing the Presdient.

and from September 27, 2011
This day in history - - - September 27
(1963 – 64) The Warren Commission. A group appointed by Pres. Lyndon
B. Johnson to investigate the circumstances surrounding President John
F. Kennedy's slaying and the shooting of his (alleged) assassin, Lee
Harvey Oswald. It was chaired by Earl Warren and included two U.S.
senators, two U.S. congressmen, and two former public officials.
After
months of investigation, it reported that Kennedy was killed by
Oswald's rifle shots from the Texas School Book Depository and that
Oswald's murder by Jack Ruby two days later was not part of a
conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy.
Its findings were later
questioned in a number of books and articles and in a special
congressional committee report in 1979, though no conclusive
contradictory evidence was found.

| JD Tippit |
One of those first books, Rush to Judgment, by lawyer Mark Lane, pointed out that the conclusions in the Summery, those few pages that most people and reporters read, had little to do with the volumes of actual evidence in the content.
Today a believer of this, 'Oswald alone', conclusion is rare. And because that summery seemed falsified, it berthed a lifetime of conspiracy theories about the President's death.
Even following the interesting side story of the trail of Officer Tippit on that day and you might join the legions of disbelievers.
The members of that Warren Commission were -
- Earl Warren - Chief Justice of the United States. Eisenhower offered Warren the post of solicitor general, with the promise of a seat on the Supreme Court. But before it was announced, Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson unexpectedly died in September 1953 and Eisenhower replaced him with Warren. As Chief Justice of the United States some said many of his decisions were 'inappropriate'.
- Hale Boggs - Died mysteriously in a plane crash while flying over remote Alaska in October, 1972 . Wreckage never found. In April 1971 he had made a speech on the floor of the House in which he strongly attacked J. Edgar Hoover and the whole of the FBI.
- Gerald Ford - Future President. Ford commented in his own report that the CIA destroyed or kept from investigators critical secrets connected to the assassination.
- John Sherman Cooper - In the general election in 1954 Cooper was defeated by Alben W. Barkley a Democrat who had been Vice President under Harry S. Truman but Barkley subsequently died, and Cooper was elected to fill his unexpired term in 1956.
- John J. McCloy - He was initially skeptical of the lone gunman theory, but a trip to Dallas with Allen Dulles, an old friend also serving on the Commission, in the spring of 1964 to visit the scene of the assassination convinced him of the case against Lee Harvey Oswald.
- Allen Welsh Dulles - Director of the CIA. It evolved under his directorship into a team of assassins. One member, Frank Sturgis, claimed: "this assassination group (Operation 40) would upon orders, naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary some of your own members." (Sturgis was also one of the Watergate burglars) Dulles and his staff were forced to resign in September 1961 when President Kennedy reportedly said he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds."
The Warren report's lack of candor furthered antigovernment cynicism, which in turn stimulated conspiracy theorists who propounded any number of alternative scenarios, all mutually contradictory, and all going strong today.
Who can you trust?
.
In
a new revelation by Jackie Kennedy she recently revealed her suspicions
of LBJ. And we all know she married Ari Onassis simply because he was the
one man in the world who could actually protect her from an 'unexpected'
and mysterious death.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.... back to today ....
And
an even more recent revelation suggests that Jackie Kennedy/Onassis
recorded several tapes before she died. And they are somewhere. Waiting
to be revealed. It is further proposed by some researchers, that Oswald
was a paid
asset of the FBI.
Arlen
Specter, (later a Senator) was assistant counsel to the Warren
Commission (recommended by Gerald Ford) and came up with the single
bullet theory, which was readily adopted because having Connally and
Kennedy shot by two separate bullets in such a short time frame would
indicate TWO assassins and a conspiracy! Convenient, huh?
Why did Specter miss so many obvious followup questions to the witnesses? Unanswered questions only result in more questions.
In recent years,
there have been suggestions that some secret sponsored shadow cell has
plans for a coup d'etat of the American Government, even that 9/11 may
have been the precursor.
And there are also those who also believe the coup was already accomplished on November 22, 1963!
But just investigating
through 'open source' the one aspect of Officer Tippit is an interesting exercise and takes
you well away from the 49 years of spin and cover up about JFK. Go
ahead, try it. At the very least you'll have a fascinating read, way
better than TV fiction. And you'll involve yourself in history.

Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippet
(link 1 and 4 were removed by someone, but I put them back)
Follow
the fascinating timeline and perhaps you will come up with more
questions too: like why did the Davis sisters believe he lived in the
nearby apartment house? Who DID live there to cause Tippit to be there
often? Why was he speeding around frantically in the minutes after JFK was shot? Was he supposed to intercept Oswald? Why
was he on West 10th Street when he was thought to be miles away at the
Dealey Plaza by the overpass? How many contradictions may already be
within the transcripts of accounts, interviews and events? Is there one
fact somewhere, just waiting for a new eye to find it? Is there one sentence
somewhere that says, 'This cannot be, therefore that must be?'
They can't hide ALL the trails leading to truth. We finally learned the identity of deepthroat, proving that Watergate lie. Anything can still happen.
And
one thing about a coup d'etat, they don't all reveal themselves in a
momentary flash through smoke and fire and violence ... they can emerge
in stealth over many years.
(Thanks to William M. Drenas [Tippit Timeline], for communicating with me and others interested researchers for never exhausting their efforts in the search for truth)

Will there ever be discovered that grain of proof? Who knows, but some won't stop looking.
