As most here know, many people who reject the lone-gunman theory are not liberals but are staunch conservatives. One of them is conservative journalist Allan Favish. In an article published last year in the conservative journal American Thinker, Favish takes the media to task for failing to cover the important information that has been discussed in the Luna Committee hearings on the JFK case. His article, titled "The Media’s Failure to Effectively Confront Recent JFK Assassination Testimony," can be found at this link:

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/06/the_media_s_failure_to_effectively_confront_recent_jfk_assassination_testimony.html

Here are some excerpts:

Rather than being ignored or dismissed as a “conspiracy theory,” the facts alleged at the House hearing deserve detailed, accurate evaluation, and thereafter, either detailed, accurate refutation, support, or further evaluation. . . .

Another witness was Dan Hardway, who was a researcher on the staff of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (“HSCA”) in 1977-78. His written testimony is here. In his testimony at 1:12:05 - 1:20:10, he testifies in detail about how he personally witnessed the Central Intelligence Agency conduct an illegal, domestic covert operation involving at least one undercover agent to subvert and obstruct the HSCA. . . .

Bullet fragments known to have been removed from President Kennedy’s body at Bethesda Naval Hospital were never placed into the official record and are missing today. . . .

The fourteen (14) brain photographs in the National Archives today cannot be, and are not, photos of John F. Kennedy’s brain. They have been impugned by the official photographer at the brain examination and by one of the FBI agents present at JFK’s autopsy. . . .

The film of the assassination taken by bystander Abraham Zapruder that the public has seen is not the original film. The version seen by the public is an altered copy of the original that hides the large exit wound in the back of Kennedy’s head, among other things. The original Zapruder film was in the custody of the Central Intelligence Agency during the weekend after the Friday assassination.

Both LNs and CTs come in all political stripes. I've never seen any indication that liberals or conservatives are more prone to be CTs. Vincent Bugliosi was very much a liberal and John McAdams was certainly a staunch conservative and both were firmly of the opinion that Oswald acted alone. There are plenty of people on this forum who I disagree with politically but share my view that Oswald acted alone and others with whom I share a political viewpoint who are CTs. [/quote]

Just what has the Luna Committee come up with that hasn't been rehashed ad nauseam for decades.

Lone Gunman THEORY.

Autistic President THEORY.

It’s right in front of your eyes.

They’re not THEORIES.  They’re FACTS.

You can see the Lone Nutters having trouble answering how exactly the science involved with the brain material exploding out of JFK's head resulted in an above average 1500 gram weight...

Autopsy photographer Knudsen was shown a photo of an intact brain sitting on a metal autopsy tray right next to Kennedy's body...That brain was obviously the 1500 gram brain that was swapped-in for Kennedy's...It had to be gotten rid of and lost because it would have been proven to be someone else's...That intact brain severely contradicted the autopsy photos of Kennedy's macerated brain after the covert pre-autopsy...The real condition of the brain was testified to by Paul O'Connor...


Mr Brown:

Any gotcha point corrections?...

                                                                                    "AUTOPSY PHOTOGRAPHER KNUDSEN......" ?

              Specifically, what Knudsen are you referring to? The only Knudsen I am aware of was a WHITE HOUSE Photographer. He was Not an "Autopsy Photographer". Do you know something about the White House Photographer also taking JFK autopsy photos?
