JFK Assassination Forum

Yes, and it could have been caused by a miniature UFO, too.

There was evidence of bone shards: 7-8 bone fragments, maybe more according to Dr. Gregory (4 H 120).  No evidence of a UFO, miniature or otherwise.

This is not speculation, but observation: The CIA often used personnel who were detailed from other defense agencies.

For example, when the Kennedy Administration decided to have the SV Diem brothers waxed, they turned over dirty work to Lucien Conein, US Army officer but actual OSS/CIA operative.

Same deal on Hemming?

I'm straying far from the original topic but I have to ask: You think Conein killed the Diem brothers? It wasn't the coup plotters?

The accounts I've read said that he was enraged and devastated at their deaths. And at the time of their deaths he was either at the American Embassy or the JGS headquarters. He certainly wasn't with the Diems or the plotters. So how could he kill them?

And who in the Kennedy Administration gave the order to "wax" the Diems? The evidence for me is that they certainly looked the other way, told the coup plotters that they couldn't endorse the act but had no opinion on it otherwise. That's essentially a green light (I'm surprised that JFK was stunned when he learned about their deaths). I think Lodge in particular was guilty of letting it happen. He could have ordered a flight for them to get them out. Anyway, it's my understanding that it was Big Mingh and his followers who killed them not Conein.

Here's an account by Rufus Phillips who was there during the coup (from his book: "Why Vietnam Matters"). Phillips was a CIA officer stationed at the US Embassy in Saigon. The "Lou" is Conein. Yes, for example isn't proof but I am not aware of contrary evidence that Conein endorsed the killing or called for it or okayed it much less did it himself.

The exit wound on the palm side of the wrist could have been made by a bone shard.

Yes, and it could have been caused by a miniature UFO, too.

   The above would be perfect if Towner was looking through a monocular. And then she was panning too.

I think her camera had only one lens. She wasn't filming through binoculars. What does panning have to do with the position of JFK in the last frame?

If Tina Towner was right that the first shot occurred even 3 or 4 seconds after she stopped filming then there was no early first shot miss.

If the CIA murdered JFK, it was likely through KGB operatives embedded in the CIA, and G2 allies, who manipulated LHO.

That is, it was not the CIA proper (that is, Dulles-Angleton-Harvey), but KGB'ers in CIA clothing. You know the Solie story.

Alpha 66, which had a house in Dallas remains an interesting suspect. By late 1963, Alpha 66 was actually under the aegis of Army intel, and was incorrigible.

Evidently, Gus Russo does not want to discuss with me who in New Orleans from the G2 was working on LHO.

Maybe!
