Great thread and very timely one as well it being the 50th anniverary and all.
yeah you got to remember that Johnson handpicked the members of the warren commission himself and that he did it to forestall an investigation by congress because there were voices in there saying they did not believe the lies of the media that were being told,that oswald was the lone assassin.
many of them were aware that all the dallas doctors said that both his head wound and throut wounds were ENTRANCE wound shots that came from the front,not the back.
Matter of fact,the FIRST initial reports that went out that day that the headlines read said-The gunshot wound to the throut was an entrance wound that came from the front.
Then when those reports started circulating,they then said that he recieved the wound to the throut because he was turning around looking at the book depository,then when films showed that to be a lie,that he never turned around,they then invented the lie that he was shot in the back of the neck from behind.
It was one lie after another.
also notice,how congressman and future president Gerald Ford was rewarded for his participation in the coverup? thats why he later became president was that was his reward.
He moved the bullet wound in the back where a bullet struck him slightly above the shoulder,4 inches up so it could be a neck wound,and even the mainstream media about 10 years or so came out and said he was secretly recording the warren commission hearings for J Edgar Hoover.
Arlen specter was rewarded handsomely as well partipating in the coverup getting to be future senator of pennsylvania. Then there is Allen Dulles who was the former CIA director of the bay of pigs invasion whom Kennedy fired aftert the CIA lied to him about important details in that invasion and tried to trick him into ordering an all out military invasion of it.
You just know,Dulles was celebrating the night Johnson informed him he would be on the warren commission partying till the wee hours of the night knowing that he would get his revenge and have the last laugh being in the postition to rewrite history like he was.
also there were many witnesses who gave versions different than the governments saying they saw a man with a rifle behind the picket fence fire a rifle who wound up dying in mystyerious deathst afterwards.
Because of that,many witnesses who were there that day who also saw a man behind the picket fence,they kept quiet for over 3 decades before coming forward telling their story because of all those witnesses who died in mysterious deaths giving versions that conflicted with the warren commission.they knew if they could kill the president of the united states and get away with it,then they sure as hell wouldnt have a single problem killing them with no problem as well.
Now they are old and dont care if they are killed off because they dont have much longer to live so they are telling their storys now.
