JFK RFK MLK Assassination Forum

The guy in the trench coat and hat and shades certainly looks like he could be Hunt. I was never that much persuaded by Weberman's case for Hunt-as-tramp; though I did not give it more than a once-over. I don't find holes in it exactly; but the make-up job on the old tramp was 1st class if it was Hu...

I’ve had some time to stew and sleep on this Braden arrest, outside the Dal-Tex Building, and I have some thoughts.1) Garrison, in On the Trail of the Assassins, p. 239, goes on to say that he feels that “Braden’s contribution to the assassination was a large zero.” He also says that “this story con...

Thom's question of whether Brading was the "independent oil operator from Houston" referred to by Roger Craig, led me, with help from Pasquale, to Jim Garrison's On the trail of the Assassins. p. 238 "At least one man arrested immediately after the shooting had come running out of the...

To Thom:the FBI memo says the phone call was at 1:45. The news that the President had been declared dead was first announced on radio at 1:30. Bush claims he was speaking at Tyler that day, and the witnesses he provides say that he interrupted his speech to announce the President's death; and sat do...

I don't think we are much encouraged to see History as science. Quite the opposite, actually. And of course, that's all politics. The winners write history, and the truth be damned. And even science can have trouble trying to act like science when political issues are involved, as we see with evolut...

Current Events: Barack in the Crosshairs: Is the military threatening to kill Obama?By John Hankey The parallels between the administrations of Barack Obama and John Kennedy are stunning:1. Both engaged in what might be called "Election Deception" During the 1960 election, Kennedy attacked...

It's in the video. Coast Guard spokesman, chief petty officer Todd Bergun says that he got the information from FAA personnel in the tower at Martha's Vineyard. Again, he says he had no radar information. Then how did he get a story of tower contact that included the facts, established by the NTSB r...

The issue of the tower contact is critical. The Coast Guard reported that Kennedy radioed the tower at 9;39 precisely, reporting that he was 14 miles off the coast, holding at 2500 feet, and on final approach. The NTSB radar report shows that Kennedy was at this altitude and in this location at prec...

If you want to suggest that Bush was the supervisor of Hunt, Sturgis and the rest, and reject the notion that he was involved in the assassination, it's of course plausible. We are historians, however, not jury members. As historians, our job is to try to pick out what is most probable, among the pl...

The sources for all the evidence are presented in the video: that is, you get to see the source with your 2 eyes. Ask a specific question, I'll give you a specific answer. Much is taken from video of the ABC Boston affiliate for the day after the crash. The rest is from the NTSB report.
