JFK autopsy smoking guns- part 3
In this thread 🧵I’ll put these smoking guns in bigger context. We have a glimpse of the scope and object of a conspiracy. There was hard, admissible evidence-eyewitness testimony, documents, unrebutted expert opinions of forged and fraudulent photos and X-rays- to establish military involvement in a scheme to frame the “lone gunman” and to steer investigators away from evidence of other gunmen.

Still unproven is how high up this went and the extent of involvement by other agencies. On the military side, we have at least one member of the Joint Chiefs present at the autopsy. Everyone present was ordered not to tell anyone what they saw, lest they be court martialed and face 20 years in prison.

Others in the chain of command? There hasn’t been much talk of the very top of the military chain of command- the new president, Lyndon B Johnson. He very quickly shut down all investigations that might lead to findings of a conspiracy. After Oswald’s death, he told the Dallas police to turn everything over to the FBI. Initially, the day after the assassination LBJ told Hoover he intended to have a Texas panel he could control undertake a quick investigation. Already he wanted no part of a broad, uncontrollable conspiracy investigation.

JFK autopsy smoking guns, part 2
In this thread 🧵I will cover additional evidence that the autopsy on JFK’s body the night of November 22, 1963, was integral to the coup plotters’ plans to eliminate JFK in favor of a more pliable LBJ and then to make it appear to the public that only a “lone gunman,” acting alone, was responsible. Only if the public and law enforcement officials accepted the “no conspiracy” theory could the plotters hope to ultimately succeed.

The autopsy was a military operation. It was conducted by military officers who were pathologists, representing two branches of the military- the Navy and the Army. It was conducted at the Navy Hospital in Bethesda. In attendance in the gallery (this was a teaching hospital, so there were a few rows of risers to accommodate students) were military brass from at least three branches, including generals and admirals. A member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Curtis LeMay, who hated JFK because he had vetoed plans to bomb Cuba, had a front row seat.

At the time of the autopsy, Oswald was in custody in Dallas, about to be charged under Texas law with murdering the president. Texas law required the medical examiner in Dallas to conduct the autopsy. But Secret Service agents bullied the Texas officials, threatening them with guns if necessary, into backing away and letting the body be taken out of Parkland in an ornate bronze display casket and put onto Air Force One.

Here’s a THREAD 🧵on the smoking gun in the JFK assassination we’ve known about since 1998, when the Assassination Records Review Board finished its work and made public autopsy records and testimony kept hidden for 35 years. As @jeffersonmorley observes in this Jesse Watters clip, we know Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t kill JFK based on eyewitness testimony of medical professionals who tried to save JFK: youtu.be/DF2vM-V2XEI?si…

How was the public sold the “lone gunman” theory for all these years? The answer is the smoking gun I’m talking about. JFK’s autopsy, performed by military officers under orders from superiors in their chain of command, was designed to hide all evidence of shots fired from other locations, putting JFK in a crossfire.

Oliver Stone’s movie “JFK” provides the answer to “Why?” in this quote by Mr “X”, played by Donald Sutherland:

“No one’s guilty, because everyone in the power structure who knows anything has a plausible deniability. There are no compromising connections except at the most secret point. What’s paramount is that it must succeed. No matter how many died, no matter how much it costs, the perpetrators must be on the winning side. and never subject to prosecution for anything by anyone. That is a coup d’etat.”

JFK Assassination THREAD 🧵#6
Let’s Discuss the CIA, FBI, The Soviets, and the White House

Now that the JFK files are out, and folks on X seem to be leaping to conclusions already, I’m going to abandon my planned sequence and jump ahead a little to put into context some things I see being posted. Specifically I’m talking about perceived links b/w Oswald and the KGB’s head assassin, Kostikov.

The actual facts are murky, but it’s been commonly known and reported on for some time that in late September, early October 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald traveled by bus from Louisiana through south Texas, then down to Mexico City. He stayed there about a week and then took a bus to Dallas. In those days Mexico City resembled Casablanca in the World War II Humphrey Bogart movie of that name. The city was a haven for spies of all stripes. Most hung out together in the same small set of hotels. The Soviet Union and its relatively brand new satellite, Cuba, had embassies there. And our CIA was ahead of the game. The
CIA had tapped all the phone lines and had constant photographic surveillance at both embassies. It’s not clear, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the CIA had both embassies totally bugged.

On October 9, 1963, CIA headquarters received a cable from Mexico City Station, reporting that Oswald called the Soviet embassy and, speaking in broken Russian, stated he had been in the embassy on September 25 and talked to Kostikov, who was reputed in the CIA and the FBI to head up the KGB’s assassination section. Oswald asked whether there was any follow up regarding a telegram to Washington. According to Sylvia Duran, a receptionist (spy? Who knows) at the Cuban embassy with whom Oswald allegedly was having an affair, Oswald was seeking a transit visa (memories of “Casablanca” are coming to mind) from Cuba to Moscow, where he again wanted to defect to.

We’re about to get about 80,000 previously classified pages of documents relating to the JFK assassination. This is a THREAD 🧵containing a trial lawyer’s perspective on a small, but highly significant part of the evidence that in my opinion establishes that President Kennedy was the victim of a coup. This was far more than a simple, more-than-one-shooter conspiracy. JFK’s murder was accompanied by practically an all-of-government conspiracy, reaching to the highest levels of our military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies, to cover up what happened and who was involved in the planning and execution of the murder of our president. Let’s begin.

I’ll begin with Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where JFK was taken after being shot on November 22, 1963. As an aside, everyone in my generation knows where they were when they heard the news the president had been shot and killed. I was in 10th grade English class when our principal came on the loud speaker and told us to pray, as the president had been shot and had been taken to a hospital in Dallas. Not long later we were told JFK had died. I remember those minutes like they happened yesterday.

Parkland Hospital was a teaching hospital, part of the University of Texas system. It served all segments of the Dallas community and was home to a team of doctors and medical staff well qualified and experienced in handling all kinds of trauma, including gunshot wounds. Dr Kemp Clark, the hospital’s director of neurosurgery, signed the death certificate and a formal statement describing the wound to the back of JFK’s head that caused his death:

“There was a large wound in the occipito-parietal region from which profuse bleeding was occurring….There was considerable loss of scalp and bone tissue. Both cerebral and cerebellar tissue were extruding from the wound.”

This is a thread about the Justice Dept lawyers on Jack Smith’s team who were fired yesterday for their involvement in Smith’s lawfare against Trump. Trump’s reason for firing these lawyers was that they could not be trusted to carry out the president’s agenda. In this thread I will explain another equally strong reason: Smith’s team allowed political bias to overcome the skills and objectivity that litigators of all stripes are expected to have. In simple terms, Smith’s final report establishes that the lawyers working on the DC case against Trump were not very good, professional lawyers.

Examples of poor lawyering abound in Smith’s final report. Here I’ll mention a few. These examples are in addition to the basic violations of due process rights belonging to Trump and to the defendants in state court prosecutions arising out of the same set of facts- the so-called attempt to “overturn the election.” I’ve written and talked on Spaces at length about the constitutional problems with making that report public while prosecutions were ongoing, so I won’t go over those issues here. My criticism here will assume the report was designed to be an honest, objective report to AG Garland and not designed to be made public when Garland released it. Even as a strictly in-house report, it fails even minimal standards trial lawyers must meet.

Trial lawyers are taught to analyze facts and law objectively and thoroughly, always keeping in mind there are usually two sides to every argument. The ability to anticipate the opposing side’s evidence and arguments as to what the evidence proves is an essential attribute for any trial lawyer. Fundamentally, Jack Smith’s final report lacks any hint that the lawyers on his team ever considered, let alone tried to deal with, any evidence and theory of the case that tended to contradict, the theory of the case adopted by the prosecution.
