JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 33)
Dan Rather: The final speech of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was made this morning to a breakfast meeting of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. This was that speech:
Edit of some kind :….The United States
Thank you.
I know uh now why everyone in Texas Fort Worth is so thin having uh gotten up and down about uh 9 times. That’s what you do every morning. Mr. Baulk, Mr. Vice President, Governor Connally, Senator Yarborough, Jim Wright, Members of the Congressional Delegation, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Attorney General, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Two years ago I said that uh introduced myself in Paris by saying that
I was the man who had accompanied uh Mrs. Kennedy to Paris.
I’m getting that somewhat that same sensation uh as I travel around uh Texas.
Nobody wonders what Lyndon and I wear.
Everyone is laughing hysterically..
I’m glad to be here in uh Jim Wright’s city. About uh 35 uh …….
About uh 35 years ago a Congressman from California, just been elected, received a letter from an irate constituent which said uh during the campaign you promised to have the Sierra Madre mountains reforested. You’ve been in office for one month and you haven’t done so. Well, no one in Fort Worth has been uh that unreasonable, but in some ways he has had the Sierra Madre mountains reforested and uh here in Fort Worth he’s contributed to it’s growth. He speaks for Fort Worth and he speaks for the country. And I don’t know any city that’s better represented in the Congress of the United States than Fort Worth. And if there are any Democrats here this morning I’m sure you won’t hold that against him.
Three years ago last September I came here and uh Vice President and spoke at uh Burke Burnette Park. I called that speech for National Security Policy and a National Security System which was second to none. A position which said not first but, if, when, and how, but first. That city responded to that call as it has through its history and we have been putting that pledge into practice ever since.
And I want to say a word about that pledge here in Ft. Worth, which understands National Defense and it’s importance to the security of the United States.
During the days of the Indian War this city was a fort. During the days of WWI, even before the United States got into the war, Royal Canadian Air Force Pilots were training here.
During the days of WWII the Great Liberator Bombers on which my brother flew with his co-pilot from this city were produced here.
First nonstop flight around the world took off and returned here in a plane built in factories here.
The first truly Intercontinental Bomber, the B-36, was produced here.
The B-58 which is the finest weapon system in the world today, which it demonstrated most recently in flying from Tokyo to London with an average speed of nearly a thousand miles per hour is a Ft. Worth product….?
The Iroquois Helicopter from Ft. Worth is a mainstay in our fight against the guerillas in South Viet Nam.
The transportation of crews between our missile sites is done in planes produced here in Fort Worth.
So where ever the confrentation
(sounds like he says confrentation, concentration, con-swen-tration)
Either he is slurring his pronunciation of the word
because of some drug
or there is another meaning that
he is imputing as in POSSESSED!
may occur and in the last 3 years it’s occurred at least 3 occasions:
in Laos, Berlin and in Cuba and it will again. Where ever it occurs the products of Ft. Worth and the men of Ft. Worth provide us with a sense of security.
And in the not too distant future….. And in the not too distant future a new Ft. Worth product…. And I’m glad that there’s a table separating Mr. Hicks and myself….. a new Ft. Worth product:
the TFX, Tactical Fighter Experimental.
Nobody knows what those words mean, but thats what they mean.
Tactical Fighter Experimental will serve the forces of freedom and will be the number one airplane in the world today.
There’s been a good deal of discussion of the long and hard fought competition to win the TFX contract, but very little discussion about what this plane will do. It will be the first operational aircraft ever produced that can literally spread its wings through the air. It will thus give us a single plane capable of carrying out missions of speed, as well as distance; able to fly very far in one form or very fast in another. It can take off from rugged short airstrips, enormously increasing the Air Forces ability to participate in limited wars.
The same basic plane will serve the Navy’s Carriers saving the taxpayers at least one billion dollars in cost if they build separate planes for the Navy and the Air Force. The government of Australia by purchasing 125 million dollars of TFX planes before they are even off the drawing board has already testified to the merit of this plane and at the same time it’s confident in the ability of Ft. Worth to meet it’s schedule.
In all these ways the success of our National Defense depends upon this city in the Western United States 10,000 miles from Viet Nam, 5 or 6,000 miles from Berlin, thousands of miles from trouble spots in Latin America and Africa or the Middle East. And yet Ft. Worth and what it does and what it produces participates in all these great historic events. Texas as a whole and Ft. Worth bear a particular responsibility for this National Defense Effort. For military procurement in this state totals nearly one and a quarter billion dollars; fifth highest among all the states of the union.
There are more military personnel on active duty in this state than any in the nation, save one, and it’s not Massachusetts. Any in the nation save one where they…. where they combine military civilians defense payroll of well over a billion dollars.
I don’t recite these for any partisan purpose, they’re the result of American determination to be second to none (NUN or No man).
Please read:
Salute No Man
Please also read:
Tell No Man
In the past three years we have:
•Increased the defense budget of the United States by over 20 percent.
•Increased the program of acquisition for Polaris Submarines from 24 to 41.
•Increased our Minuteman Missile Purchase Program by more than 75 percent.
•Doubled the number of Strategic Bombers and Missiles On Alert.
•Doubled the number of Nuclear Weapons available in the Strategic Alert Forces.
•Increased the Tactical Nuclear Forces deployed in Western Europe by over 60 percent.
•Added 5 Combat Ready Divisions to the Armies of the United States and 5 Tactical Fighter Wings to the Air Force of the United States.
•Increased our Strategic Air Lift Capability by 75 percent and •increased our Special Counter Insurgency Forces which are engaged now in South Viet Nam by 600 percent.
I hope those who want a strong America and place it on some signs will also place those figures next to it.
This is not an easy effort. This requires sacrifice by the people of the United States. But this is a very dangerous and uncertain world.
As I said earlier on 3 occasions in the last 3 years the United States has had a direct confrontation.
***************
No one can say,
or when it will come again.
No one expects,
****************
uh that uh our life will be easy, certainly not in this decade, and perhaps not in this century. But we should realize what a burden and responsibility the people of the United States have borne for so many years. Here a country which lived in isolation, divided and protected by the Atlantic and Pacific, uninterested in the struggles of the world around it; here in the short space of 18 years (since 1945) after the second world war we put ourselves by our own will and by necessity into a defense of alliances with countries all around the globe.
On 3 occasions in the last 3 years (1960-1963), he says that we had direct confrontations, but I don’t remember the confrontation with Berlin.
Obviously, another confrontation was about to occur.
I think that was a hint from JFK,
END
====================================================
JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 34)
•Without the United States SouthViet Nam would collapse over night.
•Without the United States the SEATO Alliance would collapse overnight.
•Without the United States the SENTO Alliance would collapse overnight.
•Without the United States there would be no NATO and gradually Europe would drift into neutralism and indifference.
•Without the effort of the United States and the Alliance For Progress the Communist advance onto the mainland of South America would long ago have taken place.
So this country which desires only to be free, which desires to be secure, which desires to live at peace, for 18 years under 3 different administrations has borne more than its share of the burden,
Has stood watch for more than its number of years.
I don’t think that uh we are fatigued, or tired. We would like to live uh as we once lived, but history will not permit it. The Communist balance of power is still uh strong. The balance of power is still on the side of freedom. We are still the keystone in the arch of freedom and I think we will continue to do as we have done in our past: our duty, and uh the people of Texas will be in the lead.
So I’m glad to come.
I’m glad to come to this uh state which has played uh such a significant role in so many efforts in this century. And to say that here in Ft. Worth you people will be playing a major role in the maintenance of the security of the United States for the next 10 years. I’m confident as I uh look to the future that our chances for security, our chances for peace, are better than they’ve been in the past and the reason is because we’re stronger. And with that strength is a determination to not only maintain the peace, but also the vital interests of the United States.
To that great cause Texas, and the United States, are committed.
Thank you.
end of JFK’s Speech
Apparently,
JACKIE LIKED THAT SPEECH!
ALOT!
Does JFK look okay in the picture on the left?
or does he look like something is wrong ….
I think he looks upset.
Because
She or whatever it is
is controlling him!
============================================================================
Do you see the pretty white flowers?
EERILY SIMILAR PHOTO OF JFK. I find it very odd!
I THINK THIS SHOT WAS TAKEN IN MIAMI A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THE PICTURE ABOVE IT.
HE IS WEARING A BOW TIE AND A REGULAR TIE IN THE PICTURE ABOVE AND BELOW THIS PICTURE IN FT. WORTH.
===============================================================================================
President Kennedy appears to be wiping his eyes from crying
(which is not a normal reaction….something else is going on)
and away from Jackie Kennedy
and then laughs at the presentations given to him.
Mr. President, your visit with us in Ft. Worth today, the things you have said have refreshed and renewed our appreciation of your great leadership and courage.
You have brought rain to moisten our pastures and our fields.
You have brought sunshine in our hearts.
We know, we know that you don’t wear a hat.
HERE ARE 2 PICTURES OF JFK WEARING A HAT.
IT’S POSSIBLE, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT DR. GRANVILLE WALKER AND/OR HIS WIFE DIFFER
THAN THE AVERAGE MAN BY THE MEANING OF
‘WEARING A HAT’. )
AFTER ALL THEIR MOTTO IS:
TOO BAD YOU NEED TO USE DRUGS ON UNSUSPECTING HUMANITY TO ACHIEVE THOSE CHANGES! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE EFFECTS OF THE DRUGS DISSIPATE? DO YOU THEN KILL TO COVER UP THE DECEPTION?
OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A BETTER WAY THAN THAT!)
We couldn’t let you leave Ft. Worth without providing you with some protection
against the rain.
JFK REPLIES:
-I’ll put it on in the uh White House
on Monday
if you’ll come up there,
you’ll have a chance to see it,
then.
Another hint from JFK?
Was there an event scheduled for Monday that the public isn’t aware of?
That was the day of his funeral!
Was he aware of that?
That uh that Texas hat is presented to you by our Washer Brothers,
one of the oldest men stores in Texas.
And to protect you against global enemies in the manner you are protecting this nation against our foreign enemies and to keep the rattlesnakes on Vice President Johnson’s ranch from striking you, we wanted to present these this pair of boots. We won’t ask you to put them on ….here. The boots are presented by Mr. John Justin, former Mayor of Ft. Worth, manufacturer of the most walked about boots in the world.
And Mrs. Kennedy, as you ride to the hounds or walk to the rattlesnakes,
(She did do that, didn’t she!)
we want you to have protection, too.
Boots, I think.
Gives her a box!
Before the Benediction
I’d like to present Mrs. Granville Walker, the wife of Dr. Granville Walker, who will
Announce the Benediction.
Mrs. Granville Walker.
No woman stands up so I guess I should assume he is Mrs. Granville Walker,
however there was a break in the film so could be she did her introduction in the break not shown.
JFK licks
After Dr. Walker
Gives the Benediction
we’ll ask that you please remain seated
until the President and Mrs. Kennedy have made their exit.
Dr. Granville Walker.
Dr. Walker takes the podium.
– Let us be in the spirit of prayer. The Lord bless all nations with a desire for peace. The Lord bless our own beloved nation with rectitude and prosperity and grant us to achieve justice for all within it. The Lord bless our President and all in places of responsibility with wisdom and with health equal to their tasks. And now the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace both now and forever.
Aye—-men.
Uh, gee did this mantra help anyone
that day?
Though it sounds real pretty.
……….A little while later JFK goes to Dallas
and he is assassinated by Jackie Kennedy………..
with the help of some religious leaders, the press, the witnesses, and many more.
AT LEAST, SOW IT SEEMS
It does seem like this is occurring as if back then and also now.
———————————————
Back to Walter Cronkite
Lee H. Oswald the 24 year old man whom Dallas Police say is a prime suspect in the assassination of President Kennedy was questioned for 6 hours at the Dallas Police Station this evening. He was arrested shortly after the assassination and has been under questioning ever since. But as he was lead from the interrogation room upstairs in the Dallas Police Station perhaps reporters say for booking, he said to reporters, “I don’t know anything about this. I haven’t done anything.” Apparently he is still denying any knowledge of the assassination.
Oswald’s arrest uh resulted from a theater cashier’s tip, Mrs. Julie Postal, telephoning Police from the Texas theater that a man inside looked like he was running from someone, and that was just 45 minutes after the shooting. The theater 3 miles away from shooting scene. She said he kept changing seats in the theater. The police by this time were frantically searching the city for the killer, of course, and two officers raced to the theater and in through a rear door. One of them opened fire. Oswald had a snub nosed 38 pistol on him and he shot, too. It’s not clear who fired first, but Officer J. D. Tippit was shot dead and police say that Oswald’s pistol killed him.
Oswald as we said was local Chairman of the pro Castro Fair Play For Cuba Committee. He went to Russia in 1959 saying he was relinquishing his United States Citizenship. He returned last year complaining that he was disillusioned. Whether or not he ever actually did get Soviet citizenship is not clear. But he did marry while in Russia and is said to have one or two children. His wife is in this country with him and was taken to the Police Station this afternoon, also.
Oswald worked in the building where the murder weapon- a German made Mouser Rifle was discovered. Oswald has been active in propaganda activities as
Bob Jones from Station WWL TV in New Orleans reports.
cuts to film showing Oswald passing out leaflets
Obviously, Oswald was on their radar screen early on.
-This is Lee H. Oswald in October 16th in New Orleans when he was handling out hand bills for the Fair Play For Cuba Committee in front of the International Trade Mart. New Orleans Police know Oswald well. On August 9th he was arrested for disturbing the peace by creating a scene on the cities Main Canal Street by also distributing these hand bills. He resided in an apartment here from May 9th until August 20th when he slipped out in the middle of the night without having paid his rent. The apartment manager said he was quiet and talked to no one. They found several of these pamphlets lying around the apartment after he had left. This is Bob Jones WWL-TV in New Orleans.
END.
That was short!

JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 35)
By strange coincidence since 1840 beginning with Benjamin Harrison over our last 8 Presidents who assumed office on the even years two decades apart have died in office. And of the nations 35 Presidents, 4 have died of assassins bullets. President Lincoln in 1865, and Garfield in 1881, McKinnley in 1901, and John F. Kennedy today. In this century 4 Vice Presidents have moved up to the highest office in emergencies: Theodore Roosevelt succeeded President McKinnley. Calvin Coolidge in August 1923 succeeded Warren Harding who died of a stroke. In April 1945 Harry Truman took the Oath of Office following Franklin Roosevelt’s death at Warm Springs, Georgia. And today Lyndon Johnson took the oath aboard an Air Force jet liner at Dallas, Texas. For a report on the man who is our new President, here is Eric Severeid.
Eric Severeid reads his propaganda and it seems to be the exact monologue he read before .
-Walter on this day of misfortune (clears throat) perhaps some measure of comfort can be taken from one circumstance: This time the successor to an assassinated President is a man of first rank ability. This was not so when Abraham Lincoln died, although some historians disagree about Andrew Johnson. It was not so when Garfield died and was succeeded by Chester Arthur. It was so when McKinnley died and Theodore Roosevelt became the President, and it’s so again. Lyndon Baines Johnson is no throttle-bottom, no political accident. He is 55 years old. He’s in the prime of life for the responsibilities of the Presidency at a point where a man’s experience and his energies meet at a high mutual level. Johnson was born in Texas near the hamlet called Johnson City where the family flag flies over the LBJ ranch. He’s a lawyer by education, a politician by instinct and by great success. sticks out tongue 1:59/10:50.
It was not so….. It was not so…. It was so…… and it’s so again. SOWHAT?
I’m sorry but this is soweird.
He was a very young age of Franklin Roosevelt during the New Deal Days. He worked on the Youth Project. He first went to the House of Representatives in 1937. He was only 29 years old. And there in the House he became the personal protege of Sam Reaper a great Texan who ran the House as Speaker longer than any man in our history including Henry Clay. licks 2:21/10:50 Johnson went to the Senate in 1949 winning in Texas by a tiny majority of just 87 votes. And he became, without much doubt, the most effective Majority Leader in the whole story of the Senate. Sticks out tongue. 2:34/10:50. His energy there was prodigious. he lived in a whirl of activity. He put most Senators in his personal debt by one kind of service or another. His fame became great in Washington itself during the years of Republican rule under President Eisenhower. His power then as Senate Leader was greater by far than it has been since in the Vice Presidency. sticks out tongue 2:55/10:50. Johnson was called a liberal by instinct, and intellect, a conservative by geography. His political alliances in Texas were with the more conservative Texans who have managed that state for a good many years. But in most national matters he was regarded as progressive including on the matter of civil rights. Again, this was in the pattern and the image of his patron Sam Rayburn. He is a fairly wealthy man his family holdings, some in the name of his wife Lady Bird include television stations, as well as the ranch. sticks out tongue 3:26/10:50. In 1955, when Johnson was making a visit to the uh Virginia Farm of Mr. George McGhee another Texan our ambassador to Germany, Mr. Johnson felt ill. He thought it was acute indigestion. Senator Clinton Anderson of New Mexico was present and he said at once, “You’re having a heart attack.” Mr. Johnson was taken to a hospital where he slowly recovered. sticks out tongue 3:48/10:50.
============================
In part one of this series Frank McGeehee is mentioned by Eddie Barker reporting at the Trade Mart who said that Frank McGeehee was the leader of the National Indignation Convention a group of extreme rightists here tried to interrupt the uh ambassador. I sort of think he is connected somehow to Ambassador McGhee. Here us that same snippet from that section:
Is Frank McGeeHee related to Ambassador McGhee?
Former German Chancellor Considered Buying East Germany
“For Erhard, the issue was more than a theoretical scenario, as several dossiers and transcripts from US diplomats show. In confidential discussions with the US ambassador in Bonn, George McGhee, the German chancellor spoke of
a “necessary sacrifice” or a new gesture.”….
“……The Christian Democrat wanted to entice the communists on the other side of the Iron Curtain with enormous sums of money. His closest confidante, Chancellery Chief of Staff Ludger Westrick, even went so far as to name them at a dinner with Ambassador McGhee on Oct. 21, 1963: Loans of perhaps $2.5 billion a year for 10 or more years, or approximately 100 billion deutsche marks at the currency exchange rate at the time…”
George Crews McGhee, 93, Oil Prospector and Diplomat, Dies
“…..With the arrival of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration, Ambassador McGhee returned to the oil business but was recalled as a consultant to the National Security Council and as a member of the president’s commission on the military assistance program.
President John F. Kennedy appointed him counselor to the State Department and head of its policy planning council. During the Cuban missile crisis he was under secretary for political affairs, the No. 3 job in the department……”
Was the sacrifice President Kennedy?
=================
Back to Eric Severeid hyping the Talents of Lyndon Johnson:
For some time after that his strength was diminished. He told his reporters once on Monday mornings I’m full of fire by Wednesday night I’m all tired out. But all this changed. His full strength came back and in recent years he has demonstrated his old energies in a daily whirl of activities including a great many trips around this country and abroad. sticks out tongue 4:09/10:50. He is now personally acquainted with virtually all of the world leaders of President Kennedy was acquainted with, including Mr. Kruschev. His grasp of domestic politics is very great at the general and intellectual level and at the practical working level of this total human machinery that makes our rather cumbers (def:to hinder, to slow, to weigh down) system work.
His fierce fight against Mr. Kennedy for the Democratic Nomination in 1960 seems only yesterday. But his great prestige in Washington, at that time, was not matched by his prestige in the country at large. So it was a tremendous struggle right down to the final hours of the convention. Mr. Kennedy chose Johnson to be his running mate partly because he had to have strength in the Southern states. Johnson was the one man who could conciliate the Southern Conservatives. And this he did. In fact, there were many later on who said that Mr. Kennedy owed his election to Mr. Johnson. In any case, Johnson became the President’s Lieutenant in full fidelity (adjusts his glasses) not only in his public actions, but in his private talk. sticks out tongue 5:15/10:50. But he began to fade from the national consciousness as Vice President, as most Vice Presidents under an energetic President are bound to do.
When the president, President Kennedy died today, both he and the Vice President were engaged behind the scenes in trying to settle the feud within the Texas Democratic Party between the Johnson Connally forces and the liberal forces led by Senator Ralph Yarborough. And now all that which does seem so petty in retrospect, all that doesn’t matter very much. Mr. Johnson is the President. Texas is his personal political base in its totality. Well, when the sorrow of today begins to fade and when the President has been laid to rest the machinery of the national government will take up again. And again Americans will think ahead not only as to what lines of policy and action the new President will follow, but also after a while to the election of next year. Mr. Johnson will be nominated at the Democratic Convention next August, if he wishes it and I think most observers tonight would predict that he will wish it. All estimations as to the outcome of the election itself a year from this November, of course, are right now without meaning. That election like the course of this great country itself lies with faith and with the continuing nature of the times (takes off his glasses) and of the world itself. Now, Walter.
Very Smoooooth!

Back to Walter Cronkite.
Dallas, Texas a name and a place that bore the romance of the great oil state and its almost legendary wealth in an instant, in the flash of an assassin’s bullet, has been saddled with an unwanted memory. The mayor of Dallas is Earl Cabell. He is with Eddie Barker in our KRLD-TV Studios in Dallas right now.
——————–
Eddie Barker folds his arms leans over his table and speaks.
Walter, I think that uh most Dallasites feel at this hour, as I do, still in a state of shock. But as the grim reality takes hold that in our town the President of our United States could be gunned down by a fiend, I shutter and feel sick in the pit of my stomach. And Dallas feels that way, too. For as you know, Dallas is not that kind of town. To Easterners who come here they often say wha this is sort of a little New York. It’s known as the town in the Southwest with the culture. It’s had a lot of problems with its extreme elements, but uh this is something today that certainly has this town shocked. Mayor Earl Cabell who was in that Presidential Parade today and was only a cars length away when the President was shot. Mayor?
CBS News and JFK (Stepping Stones and Mars) Part 47
JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 47)
Less than 3 months ago Mr. Kennedy was interviewed by Walter Cronkite and he warned then that the dispute between Buddhists and government in South Viet Nam
imperiled the effectiveness in the war against the Viet Cong Communists:
JFK: I don’t think that uh unless a greater effort is made by the government to win popular support they the war can be won out there. In the final analysis It’s their war. Their the ones that have to win it or lose it. We can help them.We can give them equipment. We can send our men out there as advisors,but they have to win it, the people of Viet Nam against the Communiusts. We’re prepared to continue to assist them, but I don’t think the war can be won unless the people support the effort. And in my opinion in the last two months the government has gotten out of touch with the people: the repressions against the Buddhists we felt were very unwise. Now uh all we can do is to make it very clear that we don’t think this is the way to win. Uh It’s my hope that uh that this will become increasingly obvious to the government. That they will take steps to try to bring back popular support for this very (essential? not sure what word he is saying, because it sounds like he says insentual which is not a word, in sensual , inessential, incendial…. Still essential fits and I think that is the word he is saying) struggle.
Walter Cronkite: Do you think that uh this government still has time to uh to
JFK: Yea (nodding)
Walter Cronkite: regain
JFK: I do
Walter Cronkite: the support of the people?
JFK: With changes uh in policy and uh perhaps with uh and personnel. I think it can.
If it doesn’t uh make those changes I would think the chances of winning it would not be very good.
===============================
CBS News is taking a look tonight at the career of our dead President from time to time if there is no news either from Washington or from Dallas we will switch to those places to keep you up to date.
Two years ago Mrs. John F. Kennedy took the American public on a personally conducted tour of the White House.
Her husband appeared briefly at the conclusion of the tour to talk with Correspondent Charles Collingwood about the work his wife had done in the Executive Mansion.
————————————–
Charles Collingwood: Mr. President. (JFK shakes hands with Charles Collingwood and enters room)
Well, Mrs. uh
(Charles asks a private question to Mrs. Kennedy but not sure what it is that he says something
or someone else does in earshot of the interview. It sounds like the person says Does he know?)
I am suspicious he is under the influence of drugs in this interview! (like Devil’s Breath which appears was on the table in the flowers at the breakfast in Fort Worth before he was assassinated. They had had a trip to Columbia in his term but not sure why. Drugs, Diamonds? The man she eventually married was a shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis and Devil’s Breath is where the drug for sea sickness comes from. Aristotle Onassis would know that. Not sure that JFK would have known. Charles Collingwood seems to know and so I guess that is how we have the press we have today. The Press, the Clergy, the mob and Jackie Kennedy Onassis involved with many more in JFK’s dementia and other activities. I guess that may be why we can’t get the straight scoop about anything these days, because the press was taken over by ass holes.
JFK was worth about 100 million, but not sure of the worth of Aristotle Onassis, (spiritually nothing) but he was wealthy.
Mrs. Kennedy has been showing us about the White House
and uh all the changes she’s made therein.
What do you think of the changes that she’s made?
JFK: Well, I think the great effort she made has been to uh bring us much more intimately in contact with all the men who lived here.
And after all uh history is people and uh particularly the great moments of our history ….Presidents. So when we have as we do today Grant’s table, Lincoln’s bed, Monroe’s gold set all these uh make these men much more alive. So I think it makes the White House a stronger panorama really of our great story.
Charles Collingwood: Do you mind living in a house that has as many visitors as this one has?
JFK: Well, last year we had the largest in history which I think shows that the White House
is uh becoming more and more important to the American people.
Over 1million 300 thousand people passed through our (JFK breakes out and laughs a bit uncontrollably) home. But uh I’d like to see that number double this year. And what is particularly interesting is that at least two-thirds of them were young boys and girls at school. I have always felt that American history is uh sometimes uh dull subject uh so much emphasis on dates, but I think if they can come here and see uh alive this building and the in a sense touch the people who’ve been here then they’ll go home more interested and I think that uh they’ll become better Americans and uh some of them may want to live here themselves which I think uh would be very good. Even the girls. (laughs again)
Charles Collingwood: Well, certainly there’s a great deal for them to see.
Do you, living here as you do, have the same lively sense of the past and of history of those of us who visit this house do?
JFK: Oh yes I think even more because of over at the Executive Wing which you didn’t visit which Theodore Roosevelt designed I sit at a desk which was given by Queen Victoria to President Hayes which is used by many of our Presidents and the whole atmosphere touches the lives of these men who led our nation in very difficult times. Of course, I think if anyone comes to the White House as a President desires the best for his country but I think he does receive stimulus from the knowledge of living in close proximity to people who uh are legendary but uh who uh actually were alive and were in these rooms.
Here is the you tube of that explanation for the renovation by Mrs. Kennedy where her voice becomes Marilyn Monroe. This is commented on by a woman whose husband dated Jackie Kennedy before she was a Kennedy. I don’t really understand why JFK goes a bit hysterical, but I think it is a clue to his state of mind. I am not really sure it is really him. In fact, the White House renovation seems to have affected the both of them. She acts like a robot in this you tube …..or an alien. Kind of like that movie where the White House is taken over by extraterrestrials.
MARS ATTACKS
He was known to take a lot of drugs for his condition. No telling what they gave him. I get the feeling she actually was in control.
She was playin’ soft, but he was just her tool. I think she controlled him through those drugs
and he fell for it,
and eventually he became a liability
to her “ascension”.
I don’t think she wanted to be married to a writer….his goal after the Presidency.
He was her stepping stone and a stepping stone for others under her care:) such as the Press, Diplomats, etc
That is why she showed so little respect for the brother that died in WWll before she had met him,
Saying he lacked imagination.
HOW DID SHE KNOW ABOUT HIS IMAGINATION?
PRETTY WICKED WOMAN!
It is cute, their act, but I think that is just what it is …..AN ACT!
Otherwise how do you explain the rest of the story?
She murders him and blames them
whoever they are.
OBVIOUSLY IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE….ANY OF IT
INCLUDING THE LICKING AND TONGUE CUES!
MAYBE A SIGN OF WEAKNESS OF BETRAYAL
LIKE A FRENCH KISS
OR A NEW FORM OF ALIEN COMMUNICATION? STILL TRYING TO GET THE MEANING OF THEIR HABIT
A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy – Feb. 14, 1962 (1/6)
=========================================
An unrewarding and even to begin an assessment of John Kennedy on the day of his death partly because the country really hadn’t made up it’s mind about him when he was killed. His image as a president was not yet clear. Objective men who knew him indicate that perhaps it was not yet clear even to him. He was a a man who admired greatness and courage. Many people believed he had the first and almost everyone knew he had the second. But he also admired the doers, the practical man of statecraft who leave accomplishments as a monument and in this area he had had some problems maybe because neither the world nor the nation is very susceptible to statecraft these days. This much is true: on at least two occasions when the slightest slip from grace or courage or strength could have brought either war or disgrace to this nation John Kennedy’s grace and courage and strength were any all anyone of us could have prayed for. If he did not live long enough to leave a clear picture there were details of greatness that will live as long as there is an American nation. Among the things that we know that Mr. Kennedy was was the first real master of the English language to be President since Abraham Lincoln. He was eminently quotable, adaptably witty. He once said,” It has been recently suggested that whether I serve one or two terms in the Presidency I will find myself at the end of that period at what might be called the awkward age, too old to begin a new career too young to write my memoirs.” Death has made that remark ironic, but of course, death is always the great ironist. That is the kind of thing John Kennedy appreciated for he was an intellectual who at times seemed detached and watched himself. The horror that happened today is something he must have imagined at one time or another. It would have been a very real dream to that sensitive intelligence, but an irrelevant one to that vibrant courage. As any writer who is also a President does, as Lincoln did, John Kennedy wrote his epitaph a dozen times.
Maybe his most widely remembered remark came in that first and last inaugural address:
“And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.”
It has been commonly accepted in all states and all cultures of man that what John Kennedy did for his country today is the most that a man can do.
His sacrificial answer to his own question
would seem to give the question substantial new meaning for the rest of us.
YES WHO GAINED FROM THAT SACRIFICE THAT HE UNKNOWINGLY AND ABSENT-MINDEDLY OFFERED?
WHO ELSE WAS THE INTENDED VICTIM,
MAYBE THIS WHOLE EVENT WAS NOT ABOUT JFK
MAYBE HE WAS A SHILL LIKE BILLY GRAHAM WHO GOT OUT-SHILLED BY A BETTER SHILL
Kind of interesting since reading just recently in the news about what Abraham Lincoln’s wife she said to a doctor after Abraham Lincoln had been shot:
“Do what you can do. Do what you can do.”
something to that effect anyway. It is not a direct quote because at the moment I’m too lazy to look it up but I had noticed the quote changed in two different press releases, but they were similar.
I get the feeling history repeats itself. Like we are in a loop and each loop is relative to the next.
We have been taking a discursive look at the career of John Kennedy.
We will now proceed to catch up with the news, what there is tonight.
And first let’s go to Dallas, the scene of the crime and CBS News Correspondent Dan Rather:
The investigation into the death of President John Kennedy and the possibly related death of a Dallas Policeman is continuing at this hour and at Dallas Police Headquarters this is the scene. This is 24 year old Lee H. Oswald who lives in Irving a suberb of Dallas. He has been undergoing questioning since mid afternoon in connection with the shooting in downtown Dallas shortly after the shooting of President Kennedy of a Dallas Policeman. Oswald has been charged with the shooting of the Dallas Policeman. The fatality of the Dallas Policeman. A crowd of newsmen have been at Police Headquarters since Oswald has been there awaiting a possible break in the case. This is the scene in the corridor and occasionally police officers try to get the newsmen to stand back against one wall but it’s been almost an impossible job.
That would be because the corridor is jammed full of people. Just not enough room to stand against one wall.
The policeman holding the door IS the same policeman that was behind President Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy
at the airport in Dallas where Jackie is doing something odd
and the crowd is laughing and pointing at whatever it is that she is doing.
As a crowd of approximately 200 newsmen are on hand. Police say that in addition to charging Oswald with the death of the Dallas Policeman they also are questioning him connection with the fatal shooting of President Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally. Oswald is only 5 feet 9 inches tall. He weighs just 160 pounds. You cannot see him in this shot, but we should catch a glimpse of him soon. He answers the description of a young man sighted at the book depository building from which the shot which killed the President was believed to have been fired. Now here is the gun that police say was used to kill the President. That’s an Italian made rifle. We’ll have a close look at it in just a moment.
Here’s Oswald at the Police Station. He is saying there, ” I did not do it. I did not do it.”
In just a moment we expect to have sound videotape from Police Headquarters with Oswald saying those things himself.
Now we’ll take a closer look at the gun
(9:48/10:47) Dan Rather licking.
Is this what Newsmen do frequently?
Are they taught to lick a lot?
that police say was used to kill the President today.
The gun is an Italian made high powered rifle 6.5 millimeter which police tell us is roughly the equivalent of a 30-caliber rifle. It’s the rough equivalent of the kind of rifle that United States soldiers carry. It has a four power telescopic sight on it. The shot which killed the President is believed to have been fired through that gun at a range of approximately 100 yards which is not a long range for this kind of a weapon.
Deer season is open in Texas and that kind of gun at 100 yards would knock a full-sized deer completely off his feet.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Happens to be 6:16 time-wise on the clock.
Just in case you are not aware 616 and 666 are antichrist numerals.
It has been said that the number was actually 616, not 666 . Just thought I would add that info because it was coincidental)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Police refuse to say whether they have any fingerprints from that weapon as yet.
(notice the man has his hands
all over the rifle without gloves etc AND not maintaining the integrity
of the evidence in his hands)
The man in the hat
rather looks a lot like an older Dan Rather.
They also refuse to say whether they have taken any ballistic tests on the weapon as yet.
Officer on the right looks like the Dan Rather as he looked 20 or 30 years later.

CBS News and JFK (Freedom of Man) Parts 44-46
JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 44)
The Kennedys frequently went to church as a family group. These pictures were taken when they attended Easter services in Palm Beach. And the President brought both children to the hospital at Otis Air Force Base to see their mother after the death of Patrick. That was not long ago. Mrs. Kennedy has just begun to make public appearances following a period of mourning and a vacation abroad.
The President and the children also went to the airport to meet Mrs. Kennedy
after her recent return from that vacation in Greece.
The one that she met Onassis and he kissed her hand and gave her red roses? That one?
Red roses she found to be strange to be given in Dallas on her arrival the day she received a lamb chops puppet that she hid in those red roses.
Both Mrs. Kennedy and the President
said all along part of their main job was to be parents.
The President always seemed to enjoy it.
One of the last times that father and son were together
was when the President went to Arlington
to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns.
John went along, but stayed behind at the car
fascinated by the uniforms and salutes of the military.
————————————————
With the coming to power of Fidel Castro in Cuba the spectra/specter (not sure which is said but both seem to fit) of Communism was raised only 90 miles from our own shores.
What is funny about that is Arlen Specter who worked on the Warren Commission and became a senator
was also the first to offer the one bullet theory for the death of JFK
looks eerily similar to Oswald. That is my opinion!
Less than 4 months after John Kennedy took office an assault was mounted on Cuba in the predawn hours of April 17th, 1961. Anti-Castro rebels landed on the swampy beaches of Las Villas Province. The attack was directed by the Cuban National Revolutionary Council which was based in the United States. Cuban forces beat off the attackers. The Debacle became known as The Bay of Pigs Disaster. Kruschev blamed the Kennedy Administation. Mr. Kennedy blamed security leaks and breaches of secrecy for the disaster.
Kennedy’s speech:
“If the Press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self discipline of combat conditions then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of clear and present danger then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent. This deadly challenge imposes upon our society two requirements of direct concern both to the Press and to the President. Two requirements that may seem almost contradictory in tone but which must be reconciled and fulfilled if we are to meet this national peril. I refer first to the need for far greater public information and second to the need for far greater official secrecy. And I hope that every group on America unions and businessman and public officials at every level will ask the same question of their endeavors and suffer their actions to this same exacting task. I have no intention of establishing a new office of war information to govern the flow of news. I am not suggesting any new forms of censorship or new types of security classifications. I have no easy answer to the dilemma that I have posed and would not seek to impose it if I had one. But I am asking the members of the newspaper profession and the industry in this country to reexamine their own responsibilities to consider the degree and the nature of the present danger and to heed the duty of self restraint.”
The trouble over Cuba kept reoccurring until it led to a direct showdown with the Soviet Union, but that wasn’t for another year and half in October of 1962.
In between there was that other recurring difficulty that seemed so often to bring the United States and Russia to swords point.
That of course is Berlin. The trouble over Berlin predated the Kennedy Administration and lingers still.
In July of 1961 President Kennedy took the stand on the question:
“Our response to the Berlin crisis will not be merely military or negative. It will be more than merely standing firm. For we do not intend to leave it to others to choose and monopolize the forum and the framework of discussion. We do not intend to abandon our duty to mankind to seek a peaceful solution. As signers of the UN Charter we shall always be prepared to discuss international problems with any and all nations that are willing to talk and listen with reason. If they have proposals, not demands, we shall hear them. If they seek genuine understanding, not concessions of our rights, we shall meet with them. We have previously indicated our readiness to remove any actual irritants in West Berlin, but the freedom of that city is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those who say “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable” but we are willing to consider any arrangement or treaty in Germany consistent with the maintenance of peace and freedom and with legitimate security interests of all nations. We recognize the Soviet Union’s historical concern about their security in Central and Eastern Europe after a series of ravaging invasions and we believe arrangements can be worked out which will help to meet those concerns and make it possible for both security and freedom to exist in this troubled area. For it is not the freedom of West Berlin which is abnormal in Germany today but the situation in that entire divided country. If anyone doubts the legality of our rights in Berlin we are ready to have it submitted to International Adjudication. If anyone doubts the extent to which our presence is desired by the people of West Berlin compared to East German feelings about their regime we are ready to have that question submitted to a free vote in Berlin and if possible among all the German people and let us hear at the same time from two and one half million refugees who have fled the communist regime in East Germany voting for Western type freedom with their feet. The world is not deceived by the communist attempt to label Berlin as a hotbed of war. There is peace in Berlin today. The source of world trouble and tension is Moscow, not Berlin. And if war begins it will have begun in Moscow and not Berlin…..”
——————————–——-
Weird because of WWll.
Was the Soviet Union responsible for WWll? I thought the problem was Hitler and Fascism and now Nazism is overlooked? WHY?
This seems very strange! Or is Fascism a product of Communism?
I thought Fascism was a product of
fanatical
Synoptic Christianity!
Makes sense to me!
Pope Benedict XVI and His Power of Suggestion
which ought to clear it up so that you may understand the relationship between Fanaticism of Synoptic Christianity
and it’s control over Islam and Roman Catholicism and many others.
The summer and fall of 1962 saw more concern about Cuba and the presence of Soviet Troops there. Some members of Congress notably Republican Senator Kenneth Keating of New York complained that the Russians were building missile installations which were a threat to our security. The decision regarding Cuba was too important to rush and President Kennedy waited until he was sure that indeed a serious threat did exist. Then at 7:00 o’clock on the night of October 22 President Kennedy took to a national radio and television and he stated the United States position clearly:
“….This government as promised has maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet military buildup on the island of Cuba that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island. The purpose of these bases can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western Hemisphere. Acting therefore in the defense of our own security and of the entire Western Hemisphere and under the authority entrusted to me by the Constitution as endorsed by the revolu resolution of the Congress I have directed that the following initial steps be taken immediately:
First, to halt this offensive buildup a strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba is being initiated. All ships of any kind bound for Cuba from whatever nation or port will if found to contain cargo from whatever nation or port (some kind of glitch and repeats) will if found to contain cargoes of offensive weapons be turned back. This quarantine will be extended if needed to other types of cargo and carriers. We are not at this time however denying the necessities of life as the Soviets attempted to do in their Berlin Blockade of 1948.”
JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 45)
Second, I have directed the continued and increased close surveillance of Cuba and its military buildup. The foreign ministers of the OAS in their communique of October 6th rejected secrecy in such matters in this hemisphere. Should these offensive military preparations continue thus increasing the threat to the hemisphere further action will be justified. I have directed the armed forces to prepare for any eventualities. And I trust in the interests of both the Cuban people and the Soviet technicians at the sites the hazards to all concerned of continuing this threat will be recognized.
Third, it shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba or against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.
==================End of that speech================
The President liked to take time to talk and philosophize about his office. Just about a year ago he sat in his famous rocking chair and talked on television with reporters from the
3 networks.
Q: As you look back on your first 2 years in office sir has your experience in the office matched your expectations? You had studied a good deal the power of the Presidency; the methods of it’s operation. How has this worked out as you saw it in advance?
JFK: Well, in the first place I think the problems are more difficult than I imagined they were.
Secondly, there’s a limitation on the ability of the United States to solve these problems.
We uh are involved now in the Congo in a very difficult situation. We’ve been unable to secure implementation of the policy which we supported.We are involved in a good many other areas. We are trying to see if a solution can be found of the struggle between Pakistan and India with whom we want to remain friends, with whom we want to remain friendly relations if they are unable to come to an agreement. There is a limitation in other words upon the power of the United States to bring about solutions. I think our people get awfully impatient, and uh maybe fatigued and tired…..we’ve been carrying this burden for 17 years. Can we lay it down? We can’t lay it down. I don’t see how we can lay it down in this century. So that uh I would say that the problems are more uh difficult than I imagined them to be. The responsibilities placed upon the United States are greater than I imagined them to be and there are greater limitations upon our ability to bring about a favorable result than I had imagined them to be, And I think that is probably true of anyone who becomes President because there is such a difference between those who advice or speak or legislate and be tr between the man who must uh make select from the various alternatives proposed and say that this shall be the policy of the United States. It’s much easier to make the speeches than it is to finally make the judgements, because uh unfortunately your advisors are frequently divided and if you take the wrong course and on occasion I have, the President bears the burdens, the responsibility, quite rightly. The advisors may move on to new advice.
Q: Well Mr. President that brings up a point that’s always interested me. How does a President go about making a decision like Cuba for example?
JFK: The uh most recent one was hammered out really our policy and decision over a period of uh 5 or 6 days. During that period the 15 people more or less who were directly consulted frequently uh changed their views uh because uhwhatever action we took had so many disadvantages to it and each action that we took raised the prospect that the it might escalate with the Soviet Union into a Nuclear war. Finally however I think a general consensus developed uh and certainly seemed after all alternatives were examined that the course of action that we finally adopted was the right one. Now uh when I talked to members of the congress several of them suggested a different alternative when we confronted them on that Monday with the evidence. My feeling is that if they had gone through the 5 day period we had gone through at looking at the various alternatives the advantages and disadvantage of action they probably would have come out the same way that we did. I think that we took the right one. If we would have had to act on the Wednesday in the first 24 hours I don’t think probably we would have chosen as prudently as we finally did: A quarantine against the use of Offensive weapons.
In addition uh that had much more power than we first thought it did because uh I think the Soviet Union was very reluctant to have us stop ships which carried with them a good deal of their highly secret and sensitive material. Another uh….one of the reasons I think that the Soviet Union withdrew the IAL28s was because we were carrying on very intensive low level photography. Now no one would have guessed probably that that would have been such a harassment. Mr. Castro could not permit us to indefinitely continue wide spread flights over his island at 200 feet every day and he yet he knew if he shot down one of our planes it uh then it would uh bring back a much more serious reprisal on him.
So it’s very difficult to always make judgements here about what the effect will be of our decisions on other countries. In this case it seemed to me that we did pick the right one. In Cuba of 1961, we picked the wrong one.
Q: I’d like to go back to question of the consensus and your relationship to the consensus you have said and the Constitution says that the decision can be made only by the President. Now what was your relation to the consensus? Did you form no opinion until a consensus appeared or were you part of forming a consensus and had you disagreed with it? What then?
JFK: Well I think that uh well you know that old story about the Abraham Lincoln in the Cabinet he says “all in favor say Aye” and the whole Cabinet uh voted Aye and uh then all opposed no, and Lincoln voted No and he said “the vote is no.” So that uh naturally the Constitution places the responsibility on the uh President. There was some disagreement with the course we finally adopted, but the course we finally adopted had the advantage of permitting other steps if this one was unsuccessful. In other words, we were starting in a sense at the at a minimum place and if that were unsuccessful we could have gradually stepped it up until we had gone into a much more massive action which might have become necessary if the first step had been unsuccessful. I would think that the majority had finally come to accept that though at the beginning there was a much sharper division and after all this was very valuable because uh the people who were involved had particular responsibilities of their own≥ Mr. McNamara Secretary of Defense who therefore had to advise me on the military capacity of the United States in that area. The Secretary of State who had to advice on the attitude of the OAS (The Organization of the American States) and Nato. So that uh in my opinion the majority came to accept the course we finally took. Which made it much easier. The Cuba of 1961 the advice of those who were brought in on the Executive Branch was also unanimous and the advice was wrong so that uh and finally, and I was responsible. So it finally comes down that no matter how many advisors you have frequently are they are divided and the President must finally choose. The other point is something that President Eisenhower said to me in January of 19– There is no easy matters will ever come to you as President. If they were easy they would be settled at a lower level. So the matters that finally come to as President are always the difficult matters the matters which carry with them large implications. So this contributes to some of the uh burdens of the uh the Office of the Presidency which other Presidents have commented on.
Just thought I would add this link for me later to try to read and for the whomever if interested:
13 Days in October
“The thirteen days marking the most dangerous period of the Cuban missile crisis begin. President Kennedy and principal foreign policy and national defense officials are briefed on the U-2 findings. Discussions begin on how to respond to the challenge. Two principal courses are offered: an air strike and invasion, or a naval quarantine with the threat of further military action. To avoid arousing public concern, the president maintained his official schedule, meeting periodically with advisors to discuss the status of events in Cuba and possible strategies….”
Here is another link:
The Organization of American States
===============================================
We’ve been considering the life and career of our dead President but meanwhile in Washington the government goes on. We’re going to interrupt this obituary now for a brief look at the news tonight we go to the White House and George Herman.
=============================================
The President of the United States is in Washington but there’s no President at the White House tonight. President Lyndon Johnson worked most of the evening in his office the Executive Office Building the office assigned to him when he was Vice President of the United States before he became President. He left here about 20 minutes ago to return home. Mrs. Kennedy is not here she is spending the night at Bethesda Naval Hospital where the body of her late husband is also resting.
Tomorrow, the body of the late President accompanied by Mrs. Kennedy will come here to the White House to Lie-In- Repose here in the White House tomorrow for members of the family to view and for members of the government. The following day on Sunday it will go to the United States Capitol where it will Lie-In-State in the Rotunda and there it will be viewed by the American public. There will be a ceremonial mass a pontifical mass by Rich in Richard Cardinal Cushing on Monday. And after that the burial arrangements which so far are private. Here in the White House tonight Sargent Shriver has been working on the funeral arrangements the President’s brother-in-law taking care of the melancholy last details of the late President of the United States. All else here at the White House is quiet. There is no further Presidential activity here. Only people trying to find out what is going to happen. What’s going to happen to President Johnson. What’s going to happen to the United States. And what is the next order of business at this home of Presidents. This is George Herman at the White House returning you now back to Harry Reasoner.
===========================================
John F. Kennedy’s life was brief and busy. Now prematurely that life has been comit.(tape goes silent no sound for a few seconds) Something probably purposefully omitted. (sound returns)
and to stick by it’s pledge to insure the freedom of the continent.
Wherever he went his reception was enthusiastic but no where more so then in the divided city of Berlin.
(man in black adjusts his hat
and it seems to be a symbolic gesture of some kind)
Not sure of the meaning of the gesture, but it is in this you tube presentation
and I suspect the meaning has to do with
Human Rights and Freedom…
German, Roman, American, African, Jewish, women hopefully
(notice below that when addressing the crowd he says Ladies)
That is my conjecture.

JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 46)
These people had reason to cheer for Mr. Kennedy for in their eyes he was the mainstay between the freedom they enjoyed in West Berlin and the Russian directed domination of the Eastern Sector. The President had this to say at the Berlin Wall:
Thank you. Ladies. I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished mayor
who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin
and I am proud (huge applause and yelling) and I am proud to visit the Federal Republic
with your distinguished Chancelor who for so many years has committed Germany
to democracy and freedom and progress
and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay who (huge applause by crowd)
who has been in this city during it’s great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed.
(huge applause by huge crowd)2000 years ago.
2000 years ago the proudest boast wars
today in the world of freedom the proudest boast is Ish?/ich? bin ein Beeleener
(by sound not by german spelling 2:13/10:49)
Huge applause
———————————————-
“Civis Romanus sum (pronounced Cīvis Rōmānus sum) (Classical Latin: [ˈkiːwɪs roːˈmaːnʊs ˈsʊm],
“The locution was quoted by Lord Palmerston when called to explain his decision to blockade Greece. In his speech in the Houses of Parliament on June 25, 1850 he claimed that every British subject in the world should be protected by the British Empire like a Roman citizen in the Roman Empire.[4][5]
In 1963, the phrase inspired the American president Kennedy to proclaim “Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum.
Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is “Ich bin ein Berliner“.”
———————————————
The place where JFK gave the speech was called
Rathaus Schöneberg
Rathaus Schöneberg is the city hall for the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg in Berlin.
From 1949 until 1993 it served as the seat of the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin and until 1991 also as the office of the Governing Mayor.
There are many people in the world who really don’t understand, or say they don’t,
what is the great issue between the free world and the communist world.
Let them come to Berlin.
Huge applause
and
end of speech
——————————————————–
After that speech the President went to the wall.
JFK with Bridadier General ………and Secret Service Agent Roy Kellerman.
CBS News Correspondent Daniel Schorr was there with him.
…accompanied by Brigadier General ….he’s the commander of the Berlin Light Brigade. The President climbs up on a platform again for a better look into East Berlin. A better look than he had at The Brandenburg Gate.
The Brandenburg Gate
Obama to Speak at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin
Pretty strange. Probably mocking the assassination of JFK in his way because he is crazy and vindictive. Susan Rice’s potential new post as National Security Advisor is another mock.
Obama has personality defects that are disgusting and he delights in it.
Berlin 1961 by Frederick Kempe
As he mounts the platform he can be seen better and so the cheers rise but most of the people around here are news
people. Those who are cheering are cheering from windows.
Near Check Point Charlie
Here a close up shot of the Communist barriers, the VoPos, the East German Communist police, with their binoculars want to see from their side too. And on the other side you can see the East Berliners who in spite of everything have come forward knowing the President would be there. There on the corner beyond where East Berliners gathered they wanted to see President Kennedy too. Afraid or not allowed to come any closer. The President stands and just looks. It is an amazing sight. And probably thinks as many others have thought of (not sure if thought of is what is said because garbled but it sounds like it) to come here you have to see it to believe it.
With him General Chester Clifton his military aide.
And there back again looking into East Berlin and see the cluster of East Berliners who have gathered who cannot look over that wall but know that the President is on this side. A remark of, probably a sarcastic remark, about the East Germans from Chancellor Adenauer. We were not allowed to have any microphones at this point. It would be fascinating to know what this conversation was between the President and the Chancellor and the Mayor.
Only recently on the other side of the wall just last week and probably in preparation for President’s visit here the Communists announced a 100 yard strip prohibited to anybody. This prevents any East Berliners coming any closer than 100 yards. One thing the Communists would have hated to see was a series of escapes while the President was here. The perceived blow to them of the President’s visit is already batting up so that Kruschev will be back in East Berlin the day after tomorrow ostensibly to celebrate the birthdate of his puppet Walter Ulbricht 70th birthday. And the President comes down now from the platform. He has seen the Check Point Charlie which he’s worried about these 2 years. A place where time (garbled) a war could break out. A place where American and Russian tanks confronted each other and now at last he’s seen it.
============================
Berlin 1961
Kennedy, Khrushchev and the most dangerous place on Earth
The East German puppet pulls the Soviet strings
=================================
That tour with the Chancellor Adenauer was shortly before the old man’s retirement. It would not have been likely that if anyone had predicted at that time that he would outlive President Kennedy.
If the President had to face up to momentous problems overseas he certainly had his problems at home. One of the constant nagging issues domestically was the old one of Equal Rights. Like President Eisenhower before him President Kem Kennedy demonstrated his determination to carry out Federal Court Orders in the entry o f Negro James Meredith into the University of Mississippi.
==============
50 years later, Medgar Evers’ widow feels anger anew
Then on June 12th of this year the nation was shocked by the murder of Negro Leader Medgar Evers.President Kennedy spoke compellingly of the meaning of that murder:
==============================
We are confronted primarily with a moral issue.
It is as old as the scriptures
and it is as clear as the American Constitution.
The heart of the question is:
Whether all Americans are to be afforded Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities.
Whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.
If an American because his skin is dark cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public.
If he cannot send his children to the best public school available.
If he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him.
If, in short, he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want,
then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place.
Who among us would then be content with the counsels of patience and delay.
One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons,
are not fully free.
They are not yet free from the bonds of injustice.
They are not yet yet freed from social and economic oppression.
And this nation for all it’s hopes and all it’s boasts will not be fully freed until all it’s citizens are free.
We preach freedom around the world and we mean it. And we cherish our freedom here at home, but are we to say to the world, and much more importantly to each other, that this is the land of the free except for the negroes. That we have no second class citizens, except negroes. That we have no class or caste system, no ghettos, no master race, except with respect for negroes.
Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise.
The events in Birmingham and elsewhere has so increased the cries for equality that no city, or state, or legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them. The fires of frustration and discord are burning in every city north and south where legal remedies are not at hand. Redress (I think that is the word he is saying because it fits for that time, however regress seems to be occurring at this same time, as both seem to be occurring nowadays kind of like one of Newton’s laws of motion) is sought in the streets in demonstrations, parades, and protests which create tensions and threaten violence and threaten lives.
We face therefore a moral crisis as a country and a people. It cannot be met by repressive police action. It cannot be left to increased demonstrations in the streets. It cannot be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time to act in the Congress in your state in local legislative body and above all in all of our daily lives.
It is not enough to pin the blame on others to say this is a problem of one section of the country or another, or deplore the facts that we face. A great change is at hand and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.
Those who do nothing are inviting shame, as well as, violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right, as well as, reality.
End
Pretty amazing that it had been one hundred years since the freedom of the slaves
to JFK’s speech about the assassination of Medgar Evers.
Emancipation Proclamation
“Henry Louis Stephens, untitled watercolor (c. 1863) of a man reading a newspaper with headline “Presidential Proclamation / Slavery”.
“The Emancipation Proclamation is an executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War using his war powers. It was not a law passed by Congress. It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten states then in rebellion, thus applying to 3.1 million of the 4 million slaves in the U.S. at that time. The Proclamation immediately freed 50,000 slaves, with nearly all the rest (of the 3.1 million) freed as Union armies advanced. The Proclamation did not compensate the owners, did not itself outlaw slavery, and did not make the ex-slaves (calledfreedmen) citizens.[1]
On September 22, 1862, Lincoln issued a preliminary proclamation that he would order the emancipation of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863. None returned, and the order, signed and issued January 1, 1863, took effect except in locations where the Union had already mostly regained control. The Proclamation made abolition a central goal of the war (in addition to reunion), outraged white Southerners who envisioned a race war, angered some Northern Democrats, energized anti-slavery forces, and weakened forces in Europe that wanted to intervene to help the Confederacy.[2]
Slavery was made illegal everywhere in the U.S. by the Thirteenth Amendment, which took effect in December 1865.”

Just recently I wrote a post I hope you will read:
Pope Benedict Says “Faith was the True Enlightenment”
“With regard to material things, our knowledge and our technical accomplishments
are legion,
but what reaches beyond,
the things of God and
the question of good,
we can no longer identify,”
Benedict added, saying that faith was the “true enlightenment.”
Seems like there is a conversation in time and some of the answers and tests are occurring
there and back again.
Then there is Rosa Parks not mentioned:
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an African-Americancivil rightsactivist, whom the U.S. Congress called “the first lady of civil rights”, and “the mother of the freedom movement”.[1]
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake‘s order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. Parks was not the first to resist bus segregation. Others had taken similar steps in the twentieth century, including Irene Morgan in 1946,
Irene Morgan
Sarah Louise Keys in 1955, and Claudette Colvin nine months before Parks, but NAACP organizers believed that Parks was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience.
I thought Jane Pittman was a real person, but she was a fictional character.
Funny, because of the business about the death of Officer Tippit
in the aftermath of the assassination of JFK
is quite a mystery in itself.
Was he fictional too?

JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 59)
The city of Dallas which uh in the last 48 hours has seen the assassination of President Kennedy and then today the murder of the man who uh was accused by Dallas Police of of uh carrying out that assassination Lee Harvey Oswald. Is a city racked this afternoon apparently with telephoned threats against various figures in the uh situation down there. (licks o:39/10:26)
Whether these are crank threats or not, of course, uh police have no way of knowing. There was one just a short while ago to the home of Mayor Cabell of Dallas who was en route to Dallas airport to take a plane to a new to Washington for the funeral services along with Judge Sara Hughes to administer the Oath of Office uh to President Lyndon Johnson uh 99 minutes after President Kennedy’s death on Friday.
Strange sentence and does not make any sense because the oath of office occurred on a plane to Washington a few days earlier.
Something is definitely amiss in that sentence!
That uh call uh that telephone anonymous threat to the home of Mayor Cabell resulted in extra police precautions at Dallas airport where they held up the flight to offload all of the luggage to check it against any possibility of a bomb being placed aboard.
There also is a telephone threat to a lawyer who had defended Jack Rubenstein the man accused of the murder of Lee Oswald. The threat uh telephoned to his home after the attorney had appeared on television to say that he would defend uh uh Ruby or Rubenstein uh if he was asked to be his attorney. This threat said that if uh he did defend Rubenstein he would be next as the threat went. All anonymous telephone calls and there is no particularly any significance as yet uh being placed on that.
We reported earlier that the Homicide Chief Captain Will Fritz of the Dallas Police Department feels that the case is closed with the death of Lee Harvey Oswald. He has said all along that the evidence against Oswald was conclusive and final and that he had no accomplices although he acknowledges that Oswald did not say anything either during interrogation or in the hour and 15 minutes he lived after the bullet was uh sent into his body in the basement of the Dallas Police Station as he was trying to be, as they were trying to take him from the City Jail to the uh County Jail. And of course the uh US Secret Service and the FBI has not been heard from yet uh what as to whether they would consider the case closed and as far as we know their investigation is continuing and as a matter of fact Captain Fritz says that they will continue to dig up evidence against Oswald, and in that sense the case is not closed.
Testimony Of J. W. Fritz
Will Fritz is the man leading the men holding Oswald when the shot was fired who opens his arms, but just stands there dumbfounded (but of course I don’t know him and possibly he did not hear the shot and may have been stunned by the honk of the car and he is old so might be naturally slow to react and he was in front of Oswald and may not have been visually aware and possibly he may be hearing impaired. ) He does act guilty in my opinion in the film in the garage. However, I did read his testimony and found him to be believable whether or not he was truthful. But someone by the name of Ball interviewed him. If it was George Wildman Ball, then I am suspicious of the interview itself. And in Part 5 of this series in the second picture of that post when Oswald is walking down the hallway to go into an office with people crowding around the hallway at the City jail in Dallas is a man that looks like George Wildman Ball who is a diplomat and the 7th ambassador to the UN in a cowboy hat. Why would he be in the hallway in Dallas with Oswald when he was supposed to be manning the State Department in Washington DC for the protection of the many dignitaries that showed up to the funeral of JFK?
Will Fritz : Biography
On 22nd November, 1963, Fritz was on duty at the Trade Mart when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He then went to Dealey Plaza and was with Seymour Weitzman, Roger Craig, Eugene Boone and Luke Mooney when the rifle was found on the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository.
==========================
This is a CBS News Special Report
One Sunday In November
It is ten o’clock at night now in Washington DC and still the long line of people waiting to pass by the body of the dead President winds like a dark river up the great steps outside the Rotunda of the Capitol.
They are still filing slowly through the Rotunda now ask the flag draped casket which rests on the same cata that held the body of Abraham Lincoln almost a hundred years ago. They will probably continue to file past all night long until tomorrow when the body of President Kennedy begins its last journey to a grave among the nations heroes at Arlington National Cemetary.
This is Charles Collingwood.
This day of sorrow began in mourning and solemn ceremony for a martyred President, but before it was over the mood had been jarred by one more moment of grisly melodrama. Lee Harvey Oswald the accused assassin of President Kennedy was himself murdered in Dallas, Texas. He was shot in full view of the television cameras as millions caught up in the national tragedy were watching the funeral cortege prepared to leave the White House for the Capitol.
The ceremonies in Washington were echoed throughout the nation and the world today as people of every religion and from every walk of life gathered in churches and public places to mourn President Kennedy.
In President’s home city of Boston
Cardinal Cushing celebrated a solemn mass of requiem.
Cardinal Cushing says somethings in Latin which I can’t translate.
No telling what he is invoking, or who.
Shortly after noon today while many of this country were still in church the cortege began to form outside the White House to carry the body of President Kennedy in funeral procession to the Capitol there to Lie-In-State.
At this moment in Dallas, Texas a procession of another kind was being formed to transfer Lee Harvey Oswald the accused assassin to another jail. Extraordinary precautions were taken there to ensure his safety, but newsmen and cameras were on hand eager for any glimpse of the accused man. As television viewers watched this scene at the White House proceeding according to the order and protocol prescribed for such occasions,
something happened in Dallas and the scene suddenly switched.
Obviously, this segment by Charles Collingwood is not
“As it happened”
but a synopsis of the events back then:
This film also shows the armored truck blocking the driveway of the City Jail and then it had to be moved in order for the ambulance to leave the City Jail with Oswald. So how did the ambulance get in if the Armored truck was blocking the driveway. Oh well.
Can’t say for sure but looks to me like the
Armored truck was used to facilitate this event.
A private remedy,
if,
in fact, it is real.
For Pete’s sake Tommy Lee Jones is a policeman in this scene.
He’s an actor!
Are we living in two different parallel worlds?
Makes you wonder or me anyway who is controlling who.
Rome? The Vatican? Washington? London? Dallas?
Paris?
Hollywood? Berlin?
I don’t think anyone really knows and everyone was and is grappling to be on top
symbolically, monetarily, militarily, spiritually etc
I read one of Tommy Lee Joneses biographies on line and not one of the bios about him mention anything about JFK, Jack Ruby, Oswald, or that he was a policeman. Was that policeman a double?
Or has his memory been erased?
Which is weird because he is starring in a sequel of the movie
titled Men in Black about that very same theme.
Tommy Lee Jones did attend High School in Dallas at St. Mark’s in Highland Park/University Park area of Dallas near the Methodist Church where Dr. Dickinson presided. Dr. Dickinson led the Benediction and prayer at The Dallas Trade Center where JFK was going to give his speech,
but was assassinated minutes before in downtown Dallas.
Dr. Dickinson also blamed everyone in the audience for the death of JFK,
just as Jackie blamed “them” for JFK’s death
even though it appears that she pulled the trigger.
Also Dr. Dickinson acted in charge of Secret Service and policemen investigation
at the School Book Depository.
When Jackie and President Kennedy were at the breakfast in Ft. Worth before they came to Dallas Jackie licks at some flowers on the table in front of her. I think in those flowers are the flowers called Devil’s Breath. It is used in the making of an anecdote for sea sickness, (something Onassis would know about being a shipping tycoon) but also if used incorrectly can make people controllable like a machine and not remember anything. In the post linked below are snapshots and the video of her flower fetish. It might explain a lot of bad behavior from many people and possibly might explain the excessive licking.
Perhaps that is symptom of that drug.
Perhaps it can be used in little biscuits to control parishioners.
Maybe that is what the tongue Cues are all about.
There sure are a lot of them.
Here is a post called:
Rev. David Wilkerson and Evangelicalism
In any case I think
This is a sick religious conspiracy.
The press and many of the interviewees and Jackie seem to lick a lot at certain moments which I have tried to show in this series throughout and it definitely has some kind of meaning.
Does it have to do with Slick Willie/Clinton?
Speaking in tongues?
Billy Graham seems to be ensconsed in this whole event
and events before and afterwards
befriending everyone involved in
one way or another and quite a few were erased or assassinated!
Not much of a friend ….is he?
============================
Back to Charles Collingwood and the scene in Dallas and I guess I will go through it again.
Car honks and someone yells: Here he is.
Car honks again and someone yells: Here he is.
Then Oswald is shot.
Newsman casually remarks: This is the basement floor of the Dallas City Hall and thats a scuffle on the basement floor it seems to….. cannot understand the few last words he says.
Then a voice that sounds like Tommy Lee Jones says: has been shot, Oswald has been shot.
Newsman casually reporting: Lee Oswald. We’re going to…
Now it sounds like John Cusak with curly hair: Oswald has been shot.
Newsman casually reporting: switch now
Sounds like John Cusak with curly hair again: Police
Screen goes black and returns to the scene with a bunch of newsmen or actors crowding in front of camera:
Man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair: The situation is now that Lee Harold Oswald has been shot. The man who saw the shot fired said it was fired by a man wearing a black hat, a brown coat. A man that everyone down here thought was a Secret Service Agent.
Someone else says: Oswald came out
Man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair says: The Oswald was moved immediately from the area. No one knows at this time where Lee Harold Oswald is at the present time word is that an ambulance is being ready to take Oswald away. We can hear sirens outside and an ambulance apparently is….
Screen goes black. Screen reaapears again.
Man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair says: Moving down here to the basement. Here comes the ambulance.
everyone scrambles about
Man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair says: and uh Oswald will be removed now. the ambulance is being pulled up in front of us here
Someone else says:…unbelievable
Someone else says: Stand back!
Man that sounds like the man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair says: Here someone has
Someone else says: Stand back !
Someone says: Lee Get back! (Are they talking to Tommy Lee Jones?)
Someone else says: Back
Someone says: All right. Come on.
Someone else says: Okay. Just get low. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Man that sounds like the man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair says: Pat, can you move? Okay, Pat move just a little to your left.
I think so that the camera can get a view of Oswald and the gurney.
Someone says: We can see now that police are cordoning off newsmen from the basement in Dallas City Hall so that uh Lee Oswald can be taken to an ambulance that was just brought into the basement of the City Hall.
We’re switching now to Bob Hoffhacker downstairs.
By the way the man that sounds like the man that looks like John Cusak with curly hair is called Bob Hoffhacker and Lee (I think):)
Oswald will be moved quickly outside. The only word so far is that the shot came from a man wearing a black hat and a coat.
Here comes Oswald:
He’s, he is ashen and unconscious at this time now being moved in. He’s not moving. He’s in the ambulance now. An attendant, police are quickly climbing in.
They are now having to remove the armored truck.
Why? Because it was blocking the entrance I think.
Someone else from upstairs says: This is the armored truck on the outside of the Dallas Police Department. It’s being moved out on to Commerce Street and now the ambulance has coming out. The ambulance with Lee Harvey Oswald who was shot just a few minutes ago as he was being transferred to the from was planning to be transferred from the City Jail to the uh County Court House.
========================
Back to Charles Collingwood recounting the same event:
In the basement of the Court House policemen, reporters, and cameramen were waiting for Oswald to come down an elevator there to the right to be transferred to another jail. A man named Ruby was waiting, too.
The scene began with the familiar routine of news coverage of public events, the officers come down.
There goes Ruby toward Oswald, he’s firing. Oswald slumps to the floor and as he does the police officers beside him leap upon Ruby as we now know him to be after the confusion had sorted itself out throw him to the ground then they take him and take him away from this basement and take him upstairs to a cell to be questioned.
Meanwhile if you look toward the left of the picture underneath the headlight you will see the body of Oswald still lying there. Now they’re beginning to pay attention to the man who was killed by that assassins’s bullet. Oswald still lying on the floor as the police officers now move in to take away the murderer and to give some kind of attention to Oswald lying there mortally wounded on the floor.
News is rather-like brainwashing in a way. If you repeat something over and over and over again they say that soon you will believe it.
JFK’S ASSASSINATION (CBS-TV COVERAGE)(PART 60)
Dan Rather:
Just a few moments ago the District Attorney of Dallas County Henry Wade came out at Dallas Police Headquarters to give what he said was every shred of information, all evidence that he knew that he that Dallas Police had gathered since lee Oswald the man accused of killing the President. So now we bring you that report of the Dallas County District Attorney what he says is his full report on the evidence against Lee Oswald.
The purpose of this News Conference is to detail some of the evidence against Oswald
for the assassination of the President. (licks)
first lick
This evidence was gathered by largely the Dallas Police who did an excellent job on this with the help of some Federal agencies. And I’m going through the evidence piece by piece uh for you. Number one: Some of this you will already know some of it you won’t. I don’t think. (licks again.)
uhhh. As a…. As all of you do know first there was a ….we have a number of witnesses that saw the person with the gun on the sixth floor of book store building the window detailing the window where he was looking out. Inside this winda the police found a row of books, cases, boxes hiding someone sitting in the winda from people on the same floor lookin’ in. Uh, on the window was some boxes where in the little circle around the window by the book cases some boxes were where apparently, where the person was sitting because he was seen from that particular window. (licks again) On this box that the ‘fendant ( ? ) was sitting on his palm print was found and was identified as his. (HUGE LICK)
The three ejected shells
were found right by the box. The shells were of an odd caliber of the type and later determined were of the gun that was found on the floor. (licks again)
The gun was hidden on this same floor behind some boxes uh and uh some book cases. (licks again) It has I think you know have has been identified as having been purchased last March by the Oswald from a mail order house (licks again) by an through uh through an assumed named name Hydale (Hydell/Hidell ?) mailed to a post office box here in Dallas. (licks again—–>)
On his person was a pocket book. In his pocket book was identification card with the same name and post office box on it. Pictures were found by the defendant with this gun and pistol on in his holster. (BIG LICK)
Ammediately
that morning
that is an unusual,
but that morning a neighbor brought
the Oswald
from Irving, Texas.
(licks again)
=========
Kind of a weird reference to Lee Oswald as if he is not human calling him
“The Oswald”
more like an object, a weapon, a patsy and an ant.
(to tidy things up, so to speak.)
Like the feet of them
in the Book of Acts that whisked Ananias and Sapphira away.
A VERY PRIDEFUL EVENT IN CHRISTIANITY !
=========
He usually brought him on Monday morning I think but this day he went home one day early on Thursday night the and came back (HUGE LICK AGAIN)
uh to uh with this fella when he came back he had a package under his arm uh that he said was winda curtains, I believe, or window shades. Uh the wife said he had the gun the night before. It was missing that morning after he left. He got out around 8:00 o’clock and went to the building (licks again) behind some cars and went to work.
A police officer immediately after the uh assassination (licks again) ran in the building and saw this man in a corner and started to arrest him, but the manager of the building said he was an employee and was alright. Every other employee was located, but this defendant (?) of the company. (licks again)
A description and name of him went out by police to look for him. The next we hear of him is on a bus where he got on a bus at Lamar Street, told the bus driver the President had been shot. (licks again.) the president, told the lady all this is verified statements that told the lady on the bus that uh the President h’d been shot and said how’d he know and he says the man back there told him went back to talk to him. The defendant (?) said yes he’s been shot and laughed very loud. (Big lick) Uh….
Someone asks: To a lady?
A lady. He then the bus. He asked the bus driver to stop got off at a stop caught a taxi cab driver.
Someone asks: where?
In Oak Cliff. Uhh I don’t have the exact place and went to his home in Oak Cliff. Changed his clothes hurriedly and left. As he left uhhh three witnesses saw a police officer, Officer Tippit. Motioned to him or say something to him. He walked up to the car. Officer Tippit stepped out of the car and started around it. He shot him three times and killed him (Huge Lick) with
Someone asks: In front of the boarding house?
No. It’s not in front of the boarding house!
Someone asks: (I think they ask) Where is it?
I don’t have the exact, it’s more than a block. It’s a block or two. (Licks)
Someone asks: Was he on foot when Tippit saw him?
Yes, he was on foot and apparently headed to the Texas Theater
He then walked across a vacant lot.
Witnesses saw him eject the shells from the revolver (licks again)
Someone saw him go in the Texas theater. A search was made of that later by a number of police
officers at the time (licks again)
An officer of the Dallas Police ……him and asked him to come out. Uh he struck at the officer. Put the gun against his head and snapped it, but did not uh but the bullet did not go off.
We have the snapped bullet there. (licks again)
Officer, Officers obtued/optued him (Is that a word?) at that time.
(Oh I think he meant subdued or obtained him. I guess he was combining words)
Someone asks a question I do not understand.
Henry Wade answers:….back there; Against the officer’s head.
Someone asks: Do you know why the gun didn’t go off?
Someone else asks for the officer’s name.
Henry Wade answers: MacDonald was his name. It snapped, it was a misfire. Uh.. (licks again) Then uh officers subdued him some …..officers subdued him there in the theater and he was brought to the Police Station here. It missed the firing pin on the pull on the … The shell didn’t explode. It… they have it where it hit it, but didn’t explode.
A bunch of muffled questions by reporters.
Henry Wade answers: It didn’t fire the shell.
Someone says:
Henry Wade answers: There was one officer who said that he pulled the trigger, but he managed to put his thumb in the in the uh in the…
Someone else says:
before the firing pin and it didn’t make the ………..
It appears to me
that there is a lot of licking going on
and prompting by the press
and rehabilitation by the press
to add credibility to this press conference which is obviously
incredible.
=======================================================
========================================================
Back to Dan Rather:
That was the District Attorney of Dallas County Henry Wade giving reporters all of the information revealing all of the evidence he said that Dallas Police have on the late Lee Oswald.
A short question and answer period uh followed what you just saw there, but that was the meat of what the Dallas District Attorney had to say.
Oswald of course was gunned down in Dallas this morning in the basement of the City Jail and Police Station Building. We now will show you the film of Oswald being shot in the basement still framed.
Watch the hat in the right hand corner of the frame.
Watch Oswald’s eyes as they seem to catch the eye of the assassin. His head turns. He looks at the assassin and his eyes never leave him.
Which is ridiculous because the film shows a man’s head in front of the camera so how would anyone know that his eyes never left him, because as soon as you see Oswald again he is looking forward again. I imagine when Oswald turned his head was when the epithet was screamed at him not included in the film.
But I digress because this is probably an act anyway.
The assassin moves in. The assassin with the pistol just a few inches from Oswald’s abdomen, fires a shot, Oswald grimaces, falls to the floor in pain.
Yet this film doesn’t display that portion of this act.
Police officers immediately grab the assassin identified as Jack Rubenstein and hustle him back off into the building. Just after that Lee Oswald died in Parkland Hospital. He died almost the same time of day shortly after one o’clock and in the same hospital that President Kennedy died in on Friday afternoon. It was that kind of day in grim solemn and shamed Dallas today.
(Sticks out his Tongue)
This is Dan Rather in Dallas Texas.
=========================================
=========================================
Back to Charles Collingwood:
It is a bizarre story
This strange interplay of faith
which somehow interlocked the destinies of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lee Oswald, and Jack Ruby.
But what Jack Ruby did has not solved the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
As far as the FBI is concerned it hasn’t closed the case. A spokesman tonight said that while there is very strong evidence some of which we heard from District Attorney Wade that Oswald was the killer the FBI is continuing its investigation. As you know Oswald maintained his innocence his his innocence until the last.
The Chief of the Homicide division of the Dallas Police Department says He does not con…..Wow that was a bad edit or a tongue twister in 3 syllables although he does consider the assassination a closed case he added that his force too will continue searching for information. (licks)
Why does Charles Collingwood think this is a
strange interplay of faith?
Does he know something others at that time did not know?
Or did the press know and participated
and just failed to tell the American people
that the assassination of JFK,
and the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby
was a religious conspiracy!
(If it really happened…..that is.)
Not once do the CBS reporters in this you tube compilation
refer to faith as the reason for this treason
until now.
It is obvious that Billy Graham knew, and Cardinal Cushing knew,
Rev. Wilkerson knew, Dr. Dickenson knew,
and the participants in Vatican ll knew.
Did our government know?
Charles Collingwood knew.
Why didn’t he say so from the get go?
Did JFK know?
