A brand new guide by David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D., and Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., The Assassination of JFK: The Last Evaluation (2024), was revealed on 8 March 2024 and had bought 4,000 copies by 15 March (“The Ides of March”), which displays the general public’s thirst for reality in regards to the loss of life of our thirty fifth President. David and I started collaborating in 1992 within the wake of Oliver Stone’s magisterial movie, “JFK”, which presents essentially the most correct, full, and detailed account of what truly occurred in Dealey Plaza on 22 November 1963 ever provided to the American individuals by way of the mass media. However now we all know extra.
Having revealed three collections of skilled research on JFK with David Mantik—Assassination Science (1998), Homicide in Dealey Plaza (2000) for which he advised the title and The Nice Zapruder Movie Hoax (2003)–I want to clarify the dozen-shot/five-hit account of what occurred that day in that place, whereas recommending everybody ought to observe the lead and acquire this guide, which presents essentially the most authoritative evaluation of what truly occurred based mostly upon the analysis of the main skilled on the medial proof relating to JFK on the earth at the moment.
Two Pictures from the Entrance
Everybody is aware of the “official narrative” of three photographs fired from the sixth ground of the Texas Faculty E book Depository by the lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. What most have no idea is that the FBI and Secret Service had concluded that night that JFK had been hit thrice: as soon as within the again (5.5″ under the collar simply to the fitting of the spinal column, a shallow shot that solely went in so far as the 2nd knuckle in your little finger), that Texas Governor John Connally had been hit by a shot to the again, and JFK by a second shot that hit at the back of the top, which killed him.
In the course of the afternoon and night of the day of the assassination, nevertheless, two photographs have been extensively reported over radio and tv alike: a shot to the throat described as a small. clear wound of entry thrice by Malcolm Perry, M.D., throughout the Parkland Press Convention held following the announcement of his loss of life by Malcolm Kilduff, Appearing Press Secretary. Kilduff had pointed to his proper temple and defined that it was “a easy matter of a bullet proper by way of the top”, a discovering that was extensively reported and attributed to Admiral George Burkely, the President’s private doctor.
Once you mix the shot to the throat and the shot to the fitting temple with the hit to JFK’s again and to the again of his head, you arrive at a 4-hit state of affairs, which is a really shut approximation to the ultimate evaluation Mantik supplies in his newest guide. The Warren Fee bamboozled the general public by falsely asserting there had been solely three photographs, all of which have been fired from above and behind. The photographs extensively reported on radio and TV (to the throat and proper temple) needed to be suppressed, since their existence contradicted the “official” three-shot/lone-gunman narrative.
The Cowl Up Commences
Clearly, photographs from multiple route would indicate multiple gunman and due to this fact that JFK had been killed by a conspiracy. However the info have been elementary. when you put collectively the 2 hits agreed upon by the Secret Service and the FBI–which have been alleged to have been fired from the sixth ground of the Texas Faculty E book Depository however have been truly fired from the highest of the County Information Constructing (within the case of the shot to the again) and from the 2nd ground of the Dal-Tex Constructing (within the case of the shot to the EOP)–with the photographs to the throat (fired from contained in the Triple Underpass) and to the fitting temple (from an above sewer opening on the intersection of the Triple Underpass and the picket fence), there have been inescapably 4:
However, as an alternative, the mainstream media, led by The New York Occasions, went into cover-up mode and promoted the lone gunman concept, claiming three and solely three photographs had been fired from the sixth ground of the E book Depository, despite the fact that the stories of these two photographs (to the throat and to the fitting temple) had been in depth, detailed, and compelling. The overwhelming majority of People had listened to or watched these stories, but now have been being informed there had been solely three photographs, all of which had come from above and behind. Can there be any doubt that many felt that one thing was improper, whether or not or not they may put their finger on precisely why?
Most have been keen to carry their issues in suspense and provides the federal government on a regular basis it wanted to conduct a whole investigation of (what many considered) “the crime of the century”. Little did they know that the federal government was busy concealing fundamental info about how JFK had been taken out, particularly these photographs from in entrance, and that their designated “patsy” couldn’t have achieved it. Certainly, the CIA would quickly undertake the large psy-op of characterizing residents who may add and conclude JFK had been hit at the very least 4 occasions as “conspiracy theorists”, which might turn into SOP transferring ahead.
Oswald was within the Doorway
Lee was truly standing on the higher steps of the depository, watching because the JFK motorcade handed by.The Warren Repor t (1964) claimed that “the person within the doorway” (known as “Doorman”) was as an alternative his co-worker, Billy Lovelady; however the FBI had interviewed Billy on 29 February 1964 sporting.the identical clothes he wore on 22 November 1963, which was a red-and-white vertically striped short-sleeved shirt, fully totally different than the carefully textured, reddish-brown lengthy sleeved shirt that was worn by Oswald that day, the place Larry Rivera has rendered a reconstruction of what the doorway appeared like on the time:
It was so apparent that Billy was not the determine known as “Doorman” that they obfuscated his face by blacking it out (often called “Black Gap Man” to college students of those pictures) and whitened out his shirt. Discover different apparent indications of alternation, the place “Black Tie Man” is each in entrance of and behind “Doorman” on the identical time, which is an optical impossibility–and by itself proves the {photograph} was altered. A few of the finest analysis on this challenge has been achieved by Richard Hooke, Ralph Cinque, and Larry Rivera. You will discover Larry’s detailed analysis in his good guide, The JFK Horsemen (2018).
David Uncovered X-ray Alteration
As board-certified in radiation oncology, David was ideally ready to look at the JFK post-mortem X-rays within the Nationwide Archives, the place, simply earlier than his entry, he informed me that he thought he would discover proof of a second shot to the top but in addition that the X-rays had been altered. He discovered each. Utilizing a way from physics often called “optical densitometry”, he found {that a} blow-out behind the skull had been coated with materials too dense to be genuine. I found that, in body 374 of the Abraham Zapruder movie, you may see the uncovered brains the patch was used to hide.
Discover the resemblance of “Space P” with uncovered mind matter (usually known as “gray matter”). The pink extension was a (nonetheless hooked up) cranium flap (3″ crescent-shaped). This substantiated the bullet trajectory by way of the top that entered on the proper temple. At this level, due to this fact, we had affirmation of the 4-hit state of affairs, however questions remained as as to if or not a shot had additionally been fired from the curbside sewer opening, as many college students had lengthy since concluded. Upfront of Oliver Stone’s “JFK Revisited”, I summarized our state of data of the assassination on the time:
The Actual Deal JFK SPECIAL (18 November 2021) devoted to Oliver Stone
I knew that David believed there had been one other shot to the top–the primary to the again of the top, the second to the fitting temple–however mistakenly inferred it had been from the grass reverse the knoll, the place we’ve got two totally different photographs of the identical gunman standing beside the lone tree there holding his rifle. It was solely with the publication of David’s new guide that I understood his place and lingering items of the puzzle fell into place for me. The long-standing dispute in regards to the origin of the top shot–from the above floor sewer opening on the intersection of the TUP and the picket fence or the curb sewer opening–can be resolved.
The Curbside Sewer Shot
Larry Rivera had taken photographs of the above floor sewer opening on the intersection of the TUP and the picket fence, which aligned completely with the entry wound in the fitting temple and the blow out behind the top. I had recognized this location because the one from which that shot was taken in my JFK SPECIAL (18 November 2021). No less than (partially) I had discounted the curbside sewer opening as a result of years earlier, David and I had taken an in depth look (the place David even climbed contained in the sewer itself) and concluded that the trajectory was not proper–for the shot that entered the fitting temple!
Utilizing a complicated 3-D modeling method on Dealey Plaza, Larry had ascertained the view of the limo because it approached the sewer opening, which galvanized me drastically as to the prospect of a headshot having been fired from that location. And, certainly, it seems that David had resolved the variations between those that positioned a shot to the top from the above floor sewer location and from the curbside sewer opening–as a result of each have been proper! JFK had been hit a 3rd time within the head from the curbside sewer opening just about concurrently with the shot to the fitting temple from the above-ground sewer opening!
So, JFK had truly been hit FIVE TIMES: (1) within the again by a shallow shot that solely penetrated about so far as the second knuckle of your little finger; (2) within the throat by a shot that handed by way of the windshield en path to its goal; (3) at the back of the top (after the limo was dropped at an abrupt halt); (4) in the fitting temple by the shot that blew his brains out the again of his head; and (5) in the fitting aspect of the top by the (just about simultaneous) shot from the curbside sewer opening, the place their mixed power blew out a triangular piece of cranium (often called “the Harper fragment”) and particles galore..
The Limo Cease
The prevalence of the limo cease was such gorgeous proof of Secret Service complicity that it needed to be eliminated. Certainly, whereas the unique (8mm already break up movie developed in Dallas) was taken to the Nationwide Photographic Interpretation Heart in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, the substitute (a 16mm un-split movie developed on the secret CIA picture lab “Hawkeye Works” adjoining to Kodak Headquarters in Rochester, New York, was introduced there on Sunday and the substitution of movies was effected. David Lifton, Finest Proof (1980), had already sorted this out, however it will be Douglas Horne, Contained in the ARRB, Vol. IV of V (2009), whose work on this trade is definitive, and John P. Costella, Ph.D., who proved the extant movie to be a complicated fabrication.
David and I had each been struck when Newsweek (22 November 1993) revealed a diagram finding the limo about 30 toes additional west than the “X” mark on Elm Avenue, formally designated because the place the place he was taken out. However that distinction corresponds to the situation of the curbside sewer (and was in all probability improperly positioned for that purpose). Certainly, yellow paint had been utilized the night time earlier than (and was nonetheless moist) which (it seems) was used to outline the exact location at which the motive force, William Greer, ought to convey the limo to a halt in case the goal was nonetheless alive.
These photographs seize what would have been the view of the shooter contained in the curbside sewer when the limo was dropped at.a halt. And this accounts for the situation of the eighth murderer who fired that day at JFK in an elaborate conspiracy to take away the thirty fifth President of the US and substitute him with Lyndon Johnson, whom I and others (together with Phil Nelson and Roger Stone) have recognized because the mastermind behind the assassination of JFK. David has thus lastly accomplished the duty of accounting for the medical proof within the loss of life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy for which he richly deserves our gratitude.
