JFK Assassination - The Secret Service and the Shot from the Front
This thread will cover the damaged windshield in JFK’s limo: On November 22, Parkland doctors reported to the press that JFK had suffered a gunshot from the front that entered his throat from the front, just below the Adams apple, in addition to the fatal gaping, blowout wound to the rear of his head. The Zapruder film shows his reaction:

The JFK Assassination- Who Did It?
Part Three

H/t to @mcarmystrong this is an essential question we have come to in this analysis of who or what groups were responsible for murdering JFK:

“The conservative case says Lyndon Johnson was the architect of the coverup. The moderate case says LBJ knew about the assassination in advance. The progressive case indicts LBJ as the coalition builder of the plot to kill Kennedy. Where do you stand?” I’ve started with LBJ not only because of the recently released tape recording of Cliff Carter, LBJ’s aide and purported bagman, telling Billy Sol Estes that LBJ was responsible for the assassination, but also due to the circumstances of the coverup in which LBJ was actively involved.

The JFK Assassination-Who Did It?
Part two

Let’s consider again the all-of-govt coverup that happened within the first few days after JFK was killed, in light of LBJ’s possible role in the plot to conceal the conspiracy. First there was the fraudulent autopsy that began the evening of Nov 22 and extended to Nov 29-Dec 2, with the supplemental brain examination. Here are highlights of some of what happened:

JFK Assassination
Who Did It? Part one.

This multi-part thread 🧵will contain some evidence, some reasoning, and a lot of speculation. There is only one smoking gun-IF it can be believed.

Around 1971, LBJ’s chief aide, former Senate campaign manager, and reputed bagman, Cliff Carter, is heard on tape telling Texas businessman/fraudster and convicted criminal, Billy Sol Estes, that LYNDON JOHNSON orchestrated the assassination of his predecessor, JFK. Carter is heard on a tape recording made eight years after JFK was killed, saying:

“ Lyndon and I have had some unpleasant words lately over the deal that he hired Mac Wallace to assassinate the president.”

This tape first became public this past January, when it was produced on the Alex Jones show by the grandson of Billy Sol Estes. Its existence has been rumored for years. Indeed before he died Billy Sol had said more or less publicly he possessed many tapes implicating LBJ in a number of murders.

The JFK Assassination and Govt Coverup - Beyond the Autopsy-Part Four (LBJ and J Edgar Hoover, continued)

On Nov 24, 1963, the FBI Inspector General James Malley memorialized the official decision by Director Hoover, in consultation with the president, to shut down the investigation and to issue a report that “the evidence conclusively tying (sic) Oswald in as the assailant of President KENNEDY.”

maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?d… LBJ wanted the report to be “along the lines “we have previously discussed.” Johnson wanted the report by Tuesday, the 26th- the day after JFK’s funeral and only four days after the assassination.

Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade told the press on Nov 22, 1963, not long after JFK died, that “preliminary reports indicated more than one person was involved in the shooting…” Dallas Morning News, Nov 23, 1963. D.A.Wade vowed that “Everyone who participated in this crime -anyone who helped plan it or furnished a weapon, knowing the purposes for which it was intended- is guilty of murder under Texas law. They should all go to the electric chair.” Ibid.

The JFK Assassination and Govt Coverup - Beyond the Autopsy-Part One
In this thread 🧵I will outline evidence that the coverup of a conspiracy to assassinate the president went far beyond the military -which was primarily responsible for rigging the autopsy- including doctoring, forging and deep-sixing inconvenient photographs and X-rays. “What criminal wouldn’t like to gain complete, secret, and unsupervised control over all the evidence in his case for two full days?” Jim Marrs, Crossfire, p.347.
Anyone within the govt who knew in advance or was directly involved in the assassination couldn’t have dreamed of the overwhelming success of the “all of government” coverup that began within hours of JFK’s death.

JFK autopsy-Part 5
Finally, there’s the issue of how the military pathologists handled the wounds to JFK’s neck, just below the Adams apple, and to his upper back. The autopsy report concluded that a single bullet caused both, entering from the rear and exiting from the front of JFK’s neck. The Warren Commission graphically depicted these findings: To make this single bullet conclusion, the pathologists had to move the back wound up a two or three inches to the back of the neck- notwithstanding death certificates signed by Admiral Burkley placing the wound at the level of the third thoracic vertebrae, in the back (neck vertebrae are called cervical vertebrae).

JFK autopsy smoking guns- part 4
In parts 1 through 3, I summarized hard, admissible evidence that military pathologists, acting under orders, fraudulently used another person’s brain in the supplemental autopsy report on JFK’s brain, having first tried to use JFK’s brain in a supplemental brain examination. The first attempt apparently failed to support the official narrative that no bullets struck JFK in the head other than a single bullet shot from behind. For skeptics, I recommend reading this ARRB memorandum by Doug Horne, which goes into great detail to describe the evidence in support of the two-brain examination:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now that Special Counsel Smith’s magnum opus, election interference filing is in the public record, I can provide more detail on how the 165 page filing violated Trump’s constitutional rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. In this thread I’ll focus on the hundreds of references to opinion testimony that at trial would likely be inadmissible for lack of foundation, based on what little Smith has provided to prove up the opinion testimony. Yet Smith asks the judge- and the voting public, including prospective jurors- to accept such inadmissible opinion testimony as the gospel truth. That is not how the 5th Amendment requirement of due process and the 6th Amendment right to confront and cross examine witnesses against you, and the 6th Amendment right to a jury trial before a fair and impartial jury, are designed to work. Throughout Smith’s filing, he refers to evidence in the form of opinions by various witnesses who claim to have reported to Trump and/or people working for him or conspiring with him, that there was no fraud or illegality in the election sufficient to change the result. In very general terms, there were descriptions of witnesses telling Trump, in sum and substance, “There was no fraud.”

@JeffClarkUS is spot on here in identifying serious 5th Amendment due process issues with Jack Smith’s upside down proposal, adopted by Judge Chutkan, that the prosecution be allowed to file a comprehensive public “brief” as to Trump’s guilt and the absence of immunity in the height of election season. In addition to the blatant political purpose of Smith’s proposed “brief,” there are serious 5th Amendment due process problems as well as denial of the 6th Amendment right to confront witnesses in a criminal case. Smith proposes to recast the indictment by laying out in the public record 1) the details of his office’s plan as to what evidence to present at trial to prove Trump’s guilt, 2) his evidence showing there is no immunity because the conduct involved private and not official acts of the former president; and 3) as to any official acts, Smith’s evidence to rebut the presumption of immunity.

Judge Merchan is severely limiting the defense expert’s discussion of how the FEC works, including definitions of terms like “campaign contributions,” and such concepts as dual use expenses exempted from the law. Right now the jury has heard enough to assume the worst for Trump:

https://twitter.com/jonathanturley/status/1792541153339818261

The judge refuses to say how he will instruct the jury on the FEC. As it stands now the jury probably assumes the FEC was violated and that Trump has no defense, because it’s obvious sex with a porn star might affect the number of Trump’s votes. But that’s not the law.

@shipwreckedcrew has the basic outline of what a good cross examination of Cohen will likely look like. I would add that an effective cross can be used to tell your side of the story, if you’ve got the right witness to do it with. Cohen might be that witness.

Yesterday I posted a long thread on the sleight of hand pulled by D.A. Bragg in NY to conceal the fact that his theory of the case against Trump is, in effect, a prosecution of federal crimes that by law preempt and supersede the state laws Bragg says he is using. This fact becomes more and more obvious as the trial progresses, beginning with the opening statement to the jury. The prosecution told the jury that this case involved a conspiracy and a coverup. What crimes were the object of the conspiracy? Federal election finance crimes.

This is a THREAD on the sleight of hand, shell and pea game AG Bragg is playing in his case against Trump in NY. The object of this confidence game is to hide that Bragg is prosecuting a crime he has no authority over and that the court has no jurisdiction to hear. To understand what’s going on, let’s start with the indictment. Trump is charged with violating NY Penal Law 175.10, providing, “A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, ..
