About John Kennedy

People often tell me I could be a great man. I'd rather be a good man.

Throat Wound

Was JFK shot in the throat?

For the throat wound, where’s the bullet, and where is the exit wound?

Here is another example of the unfortunate myths that roam the Internet:

I am saying – defying the ruling consensus in the JFK research community – that the throat wound was NOT an entry wound , but an EXIT wound caused by a fragment from the explosive bullet that hit JFK in the head from the grassy knoll.

I have always believed it was caused by a complete bullet from the front, until Thom Robinson freed me from that dream.

Question: you are doctor with experience on bullet wounds, you see a tiny neat little round hole in a throat. What would you think first?

1) This is an entry wound of a small caliber bullet

2) This is an exit wound from a fragment of an explosive bullet that hit in the head.

Mind you, the doctors didn’t know about about an explosive bullet, let alone a mercury bullet.

No, I don’t blame the doctors at all. If it looks like duck, if it walks like a duck, if it sounds like duck, you’re going to say it’s a duck.

JFK was NOT shot in the throat.

I too have believed for a long time that he was shot in the throat. But it didn’t happen. The only time that JFK COULD have been shot in the throat, was very early in the game, at the beginning of the Zapruder film. Why? Because after that, he slumps forward and his throat is not exposed anymore. It doesn’t make sense for ANY shooter, not even a trigger happy one, to shoot from the front that early, if the plan was to frame a patsy from BEHIND. Moreover, it would be an EXTREMELY risky shot right thru the windshield (glass breaks the line of vision, and could also deflect the bullet path). The bullet hole, crack or whatever it was in the windshield, was the result from a missed bullet from behind over JFK’s head. Just as the nick in the chrome lining was.

Additionally, his head and throat would be exposed for only a very short time, with no time to follow and aim. And the other passengers were in the way, JFK was the most rear passenger in the limo, hence an additional risk to hit someone else in the car. Finally, there was no wound of exit, neither a bullet found for such a shot.

The throat wound was caused by an exiting fragment , maybe even a drop of mercury from JF’s mercury explosive bullet. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal. The tiny perforations in JFK’s face, as observed by embalmer Thom Robinson, were also the result of exiting mercury drops in my opinion.

Lastly, what you don’t know is that I have conducted a video interview with Thom Robinson, wherein he states that the gaping hole in JFK’s skull was probed with a tiny probe and that one of those probes from INSIDE the skull came out at the throat wound ! That’s why he told me that he has always been very quiet about this, but that he has chuckled for all those years at the conspiracy buffs who claim JFK was shot in the throat from the front. He knew better since 1963. And I know better since I spoke to him. I should have known better earlier by listening to Jimmy, instead of to the JFK research community, and what they have brainwashed themselves with. I too was a victim of what I wanted to believe, and looked so self-evident.

James Files was right all along. He was the ONLY shooter from the front, and even he was not supposed to shoot. But he did, because JFK had not been hit in the head. Failure was never an option in a operation that Jimmy took part in, not even at age 21. That’s what made him such a valuable asset for the Chicago mob and the CIA.

ONeill in his official report said agent Kellerman, now deceased, told him that Kennedy cried out, “My God, Ive been hit, get me to a hospital!” The second bullet hit Texas Gov. John Connally, sitting in a jump seat behind Kellerman. The third was the fatal wound to Kennedy. ONeill said recently in an interview that Kellerman insisted, when pressed how he knew it was Kennedy’s voice, “I was with the man for three years, and know his voice like I know my own. And he was the only man in the back seat of the car that day who spoke with a Boston accent.”

Hence another clue JFK was NOT shot in the throat and Jimmy was correct in assuming the throat wound was an exiting fragment from his exploding bullet. Kennedy could never have spoken with a bullet in his throat.

Murder Myths

Zapruder film fakery?

I was informed that I may have offended some folks by stating my opinion on the Zapruder film alteration theories as “hogwash”.

Well, that is indeed my opinion. I find the ample discussions on it (whole books have been written about it) a waste of resource and energy. As unfortunate as the discussions on whether the driver Bill Greer turned around and shot JFK in the head with his service pistol.

Let me first discard that myth once and for all. Or better yet, let Robert Harris do it, as I could not do it better:


Here I shall lay out my case that the Zapruder film was not altered.

Most of this Zapruder alteration hogwash comes from Jack White. This is the same man who thinks to see – in blobs of light and shadows – a firing policeman (or “badgeman”) and an acomplice in the Moorman picture. But he never shows us the size of these “human figures” in relation to their surroundings:

The myth of Badgeman

No wonder his former pal Gary Mack, now a notorious disinformation asset, does not dismiss the Badgeman theory.

Let me concentrate on a particular reasoning by Costella:

http://www.assassinationscience.com/johncostella/jfk/intro/index.html

Things get more complicated when we look at the film frame-by-frame. As the bullet hits, JFK’s head first moves forwards:

This makes things confusing. There seemed to be three possible explanations:

1. He was hit by two bullets at almost the same time (one from behind and then one from the front).

2. He was hit from behind, and a jet of brain matter exploding from the front caused his head to recoil backwards.

3. He was hit from behind and some sort of muscle reaction caused his head to fly backwards.

People tried to figure this out for three decades. Instead of clearing up the mystery, Zapruder’s film just made things more confusing.

In the 1990s, researchers started to realize that there was a fourth possible explanation. Zapruder’s film might also be a part of the lies and cover-up that agencies of the U.S. Government had weaved around the JFK assassination!

Costella takes his reader by the hand as if he were a child, inviting the child to do its own thinking with some help of Costella. He gives three possible explanations. Ofcourse the first explanation is a perfectly logical and possible explanation, but this is ignored and neglected by Costella. He does not want his reader to entertain this thought as a logical explanation. He wants to force his reader to accept his explanation:

Zapruder’s film is a very good forgery. It is almost perfect. Some mistakes took almost 40 years to find. The scientists also proved that Zapruder’s film was not just changed a little bit. The whole film is a fake!

Costella and White claim that the whole film is a fake. Not changed just a little bit, but a magician’s show performed by special effects people from the 1960’s that could compete with the best of the current experts at Steven Spielberg’s studios, along with illusionists of the stature of David Copperfield.

If there was fakery applied to the film, then we first would have to ask ourselves: What was the motive of this fakery? Well, the conspirators would first like to conceal the fact that JFK was fatally hit from the right front, more specifically from the grassy knoll. Hence, they would want to conceal that JFK moved back and to the left as a result from the impact from such a shot.

However, they failed to conceal that movement. Why? Why did they not do that, if they had the extensive skills, attributed by the alteration theorists? When the Zapruder film was made available to the public in the mid seventies, thanks to Robert Groden, it made such a big splash, because anyone could see the movement of JFK as a result of the grassy knoll shot. Famous now for the blockbuster movie JFK, with Kevin Costner playing Jim Garrison: Back and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left ……..

So again, we need to ask ourselves: Why was that movement not hidden through the alleged fakery of the film? My answer: Because it was not faked! It was only kept away from the public to not enlighten the public on the obvious fatal shot from the knoll.

Now let us focus on another claim of Jack White and allies. That claim is that the Zapruder was faked to hide the fact that the JFK limousine came to a full stop. The evidence for that claim is a (very) few witnesses that said the car stopped. In other words they recall the car came to a full halt, before speeding away. In fact, the alteration theorists claim that the whole film was manipulated to conceal a complete stop of the car. I ask you: How is such a fakery done technically? But moreover: Why was that done? If the car came to a full stop, why would that need to be hidden?

Apart from the cumbersome task to achieve such a forgery with 1960 technology, the true answer is: It did not need to be hidden……. Because it did not happen! This is easily and undeniably provable by the other three films from the other side, that show the car at the time of the assassination: The Hughes, the Muchmore and the Nix film. In order to maintain the claim that the Zapruder film was altered to hide the stop of the car, you do in fact claim that that the other films were altered too. To the extent that all these films were altered to conceal the limousine coming to a full stop. However, you never hear the alteration theorists claim that! Why is that? Because it makes their claim preposterous. There is no article or book written on the “great Nix film hoax”, or the “great Muchmore film hoax”. In fact, those films show EXACTLY what the Zapruder film shows. Up to the almost simultaneous forward and backward snap of JFK’s head (in my opinion the result of two almost simultaneous headshots, from the back and front).

Which brings me to the next issue: Why was the Zapruder film (and the other films) not altered to hide the head movements, the forward and backward movement a split second apart? You cannot even see the forward movement with the naked eye if the Zapruder film is played at normal speed of 18 frames per second? So why?

The answer here is again: Because nothing was altered and the Zapruder film portrays the movements as they happened. A shot in the back of the head (tilting the head forward) and immediately after a shot in the right temple from the knoll (blowing the head backwards).

From the interview with James Files 2003:

J – where were you aiming?

JF – Oh, I was aiming for his right eye, which to me is the left side of his head looking head on. But for him it would be his right eye, and when I pulled the trigger, and I’m right in on it, and it’s almost like looking 6 feet away through the scope. As I squeezed, take off my round, his head moved forward, I missed and I come in right along the temple. Just right behind the eye.

J – Here or in the hairline?

JF – Well, I’m not sure, you know I can’t see the penetration, I know I hit him right here (pointing at temple). I know I hit behind the eye. Somewhere within a half inch diameter right there (pointing again).

W – So there were actually two shots almost simultaneously?

J – You think he got hit as you squeezed?

JF – What I believe is this : ….. And I got my readings as a marksman, I’m a good shooter, always was, I’m not bragging on my stuff, don’t get me wrong, but that’s what got me my start with David Phillips. Because of something that I did in the service, and I made a mark there and it’s on record and it’s recorded, for headshots, for what I did, and the things that I did. But anyway, to make a long story short, as I am preparing to squeeze off my round, Kennedy’s head moved forward, just as I squeezed. It was already in process, the head started forward. To me … what I believe is, … and I did not see, let me clear the fact now, I never saw Mr. Nicoletti shoot Kennedy, but I know he was the man in the Daltex building, the man supposed to be doing the shooting. Therefore the head started forward and as far as I am concerned Mr Nicoletti hit him at that point. As I squeezed off my round, the head started forward, I hit it and blew the head backwards.

Quote from JFK assassination researcher James Fetzer:

I agree that the metallic fragments in the lateral cranial X-ray could have been mercury from a bullet like the one Files says he used, which counts in Files favor. But he did not report the limo stop, which was arranged to make sure that JFK would be killed. If he had been there, he would have reported it, since it set up his shot. So I do not believe Files.

Quote from JFK assassination researcher Robert Groden:

There is absolutely nothing fake about the Zapruder film. All that b.s. paranoia gives so much aid and comfort to the guilty. It’s so irresponsible for those who don’t know an f-stop from a bus stop to try to disregard the single most important piece of evidence that we have. McAdams must be laughing his ass off. Shame on you.

The Grassy Knoll

All these pictures of the grassy knoll were taken at least 30 seconds or more after the final shots. These pictures prove that James Files is right, that nobody reacted immediately, that nobody stormed towards the grassy knoll immediately, and that he had ample time to do the things he claims he did: Put the weapon back in the guncase, bite the shell casing, put it on top of the picket fence, reverse his jacket and walk away.

There is also a picture showing the silhouette of a man walking away. This could well be James Files. To view this picture click here
James Files: “When that was over with I wasn’t looking behind me to see who was coming or who was running. I remember that when the shots were fired and it was all over….nobody…nobody responded immediately…I don’t care how fast they say the police acted, people were stopped…they were stunned…including the police officers. The police officers on the motorcycles, it took them, I’m going to say maybe ten seconds before they even responded to what was happening.

It was like everybody was waiting for someone to tell them what to do. And at that point I started to walk away. There had been a couple of people in the vicinity that I was in…I’m going to say probably 15 yards in front of me…close to the edge of the fence where I was at…and I was about 15 feet from the end of it…as I was walking away the police was running up the grassy knoll and other people and I know that these two men were turning people back. Who they were, I don”t know…I didn’t bother to turn and look back…I kept walking away.”
