2021 JFK Assassination Conference
Mark Mueller’s Death Deck
Surrounding the #JFK Assassination. Out of order, but starting with Jim Reeves,
who knew both Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald, had a phenomenal memory. Not
only a country star but a pilot who may have been a courier of some kind.
Buried in Carthage. Who Knew? Our Hale Boggs, on road to being Speaker of the
House, and began to doubt the Warren Commission. Plane went down in Alaska.
Bill Clinton drove him to the airport.
Others:
Officer J.D. Tippitt, first, at
1:06 p.m. Nov. 22, 1963
Lee Harvey Oswald
Karyn Kupcinet, called an
operator 20 minutes before the assassination to say JFK would be shot, daughter
of a columnist, died of broken neck
Grant Stockdale, ambassador to
Ireland, fell from a building
Betty McDonald or "Nancy
Jane Moody," dancer, strangled and hung by her own trousers
Domingo Benavidez, witness to
Tippit
Hank Killam, painter, wife worked
for Ruby, called a suicide from a plate glass window. Rare way to kill oneself.
Coroner said his lone injury was a three-inch deep laceration to his neck.
Investigators came to the conclusion that Killam likely threw himself through
the storefront window, cut his neck on the glass and crawled onto the sidewalk. Throwing a person or thing out of a window is called defenestration.
Gary Underhill, CIA, gunshot
behind ear, predicted his own murder
Hugh Ward, a pilot David Ferrie
taught, plane crash

Earlene Roberts, Oswald landlady,
said to be partially blind in one eye
Al Bogard—car salesman, 24 hours
after the assassination, the FBI received a report that a man calling himself
Lee Oswald had visited a Dallas car showroom on Nov. 9, to discuss the purchase
of a used car and on a demonstration drive rattled a car salesman by driving at
speeds of up to 80. Said the customer didn’t have money yet, but would. Account
was corroborated by two of his colleagues, one of whom remembered
"Oswald" saying in view of the high prices he might have to "Go
back to Russia, where they treat workers like men." The showroom was very
near to the TSBD, where, of course, the real Oswald was working. Supposedly
carbon monoxide poisoning.

At least 70 of 1,400 JFK material
witnesses died unnaturally (10 expected). The probability Is less than 1 in 700
million trillion.
What died besides JFK on that
fateful day was truth, hope and some popular movements, said the winner of the
Justice for Lee Harvey Oswald Award.
What a jigsaw puzzle the
assassination is. No one could organize all the parts on purpose. What
politician would now say the government has lied to us? (I think Trump might).
How will we get on the right trajectory to learn the truth? Ever wonder why Kennedy’s was a public
assassination?
First speaker Barr McClelland
said Jackie said, “Don’t ever say LBJ in my presence again.”
Barbara Honegger went over
conspiracies. Was Sen. John Tower perhaps assassinated? Tower and his daughter
were collaborating on a second "tell-all" book about Iran-Contra that
was reportedly going to "name names" and were killed in a plane
crash.
Dr. Cyril Wecht said Kennedy and
John Connally were 30 inches apart. The motorcycle behind the motorcade was
splattered with blood so much that the driver thought he had been shot. How can
a bullet shot down from the Texas School Book Depository go upwards in a body (magic
bullet). The skull was intact and nothing was in the coffin? What?
The British royal family wanted
to buy the watch JFK was wearing because it bore traces of mercury from the
mercury bullet from the grassy knoll. Why the British wasn’t stated. Which led
me to Google Presidential watches.
Were there two Lee Harvey
Oswalds? #Duplicate Because the famous Life picture with the gun, “Backyard
Man,” has been thoroughly examined with Blender 3D technology tools. Larry
Rivera used grids, overlays and textures. There are several versions of the
photo and the poses are not the same. In one, Oswald is not wearing a ring on
either finger. In another, he has a ring on his right finger. In another he has
a ring on his left finger and is wearing a watch. Dallas Police Officer Roscoe
White was trained in photography. He was one of Officer J.D. Tippit’s best
friends, but was not at his funeral. Roscoe has a similar pose of himself on a
beach and the Backyard Man lines up like that. Rivera measured interpupillary
distance and the cleft. The photos were found in Ruth Paine’s garage.
Apparently, there are no aerial photos of that fateful day; someone asked.
They say LHO mail-ordered a gun.
Why would anyone use a rifle with a paper trail to kill a President?
The Harper Fragment was a piece
of bone from President Kennedy's skull that was discovered in Dealey Plaza on
the day after he was assassinated. Many have argued that it proves that Kennedy
was shot from the front. The fragment is supposedly a piece of occipital bone
from the very back of Kennedy's head. Billy Harper, who discovered the piece of
bone, took the fragment to his uncle, Dr. Jack C. Harper, and Harper took the
bone to Methodist Hospital where is was examined by Dr. A. B. Cairns, who was
chief pathologist. His opinion was that "the bone specimen looked like it
came from the occipital region of the skull." It’s possible that an animal
moved the bone between the time Kennedy was shot and the time Harper discovered
it over 24 hours later.
Roger Craig Jr.’s sheriff deputy father found a Mauser 7.65 at the TSBD. Others later said it was a different gun. HE WAS THERE. He was fired, got run off the road trying to dodge a car and was in the hospital a year. His car was also bombed when he went to visit Jim Garrison and he was burned in the chest. Something finally got him. His son does not think it was suicide; he just renewed his driver’s license and was writing his memoirs. He had bruises on his knees. The father also saw a dark-skinned person leave the scene in a Rambler wagon and let someone else talk to a suspicious lady in an Impala. His partner was a gun buff who had a sporting goods store. Suddenly what they said was a Mauser was called a 6.5 Italian carbine rifle. Craig was told he didn’t “hear or see anything.”
Vince Palamara said Gerald Behn,
the Secret Service Special Agent in Charge for the White House detail, was not
in Dallas. He was on his first full vacation that weekend. I don’t know if that
means someone didn’t want him there or he was staying away on purpose. Palamera
said the Secret Service has guarded multi-story rooftops since FDR and that the
Secret Service is the boss of the President. They removed agents from the back
of the car where they were normally stationed for obstruction. He said Clint
Hill, who jumped into the car, was drinking the night before. There were some
impersonators in Dealey Plaza. The body was taken illegally out of Texas.
How can one person know so many
people? He said people just appear in his life. Douglas Caddy, JFK Conference
speaker, was counsel for the Watergate burglars (E. Howard Hunt). And Billy Sol
Estes. He learned of the assassination in the private office of Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller. He once set up a card table to campaign for McCarthy in front of
St. Louis Cathedral. He met Guy Banister at the Roosevelt Hotel. Hunt told him
Kennedy was assassinated because he was about to disclose “Alien Presence” to
the Soviet Union and that the CIA had an assassin unit. He also knew N.J. Gov.
Charles Edison, son of Thomas Edison. He said Hoover and MacArthur played
bridge with him and that he lived in the Waldorf. Caddy went with Bill Buckley
to Edison’s lab. Buckley was godfather to Hunt’s kids. Caddy was roommates with
Tongsun Park at Georgetown. He said Mac Wallace, an LBJ associate, (long story
you would have to Google), had no redeeming qualities and there is no telling
what he would do for LBJ. He said General Foods used CIA offices. Caddy called
Oswald a patriot and it is unfair how he has been treated. He said it is a
government cover-up. President Harry Truman once wrote an op-ed that said he
was disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment and
wanted it restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the
President. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that
is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to
correct it, Truman said.
Allen Dulles, tried to trick
President Kennedy into sending U.S. forces to rescue the group of invaders who
had landed on the beach at the Bay of Pigs, Cuba, in April 1961, with no chance
of success, absent the speedy commitment of U.S. air and ground support.
Kennedy fired Dulles and his co-conspirators a few months after the abortive
invasion and told a friend that he wanted to “splinter the CIA into a thousand
pieces and scatter it into the winds.”
Judyth Baker, Oswald’s mistress, said he liked horses, biology and read Margaret Mead. Fall in love with life and Live Love were her messages. She said he taught her to walk with her feet straight ahead. She liked to be guided. He drew cartoons and liked pets, saying “Hello, Mr. Cat. Hello, Mr. Toad.” She said he made her more human; she was too much of a scientist, that he balanced her. Her husband would send her a postcard postmarked NOLA and say, “See you next time I come through.” She said they were both in horrible marriages. She added that someone came up with four wallets that belonged to Oswald.
She gave germ-free mice cancer in seven days. David Ferrie’s mom had cancer. He had a big skeleton (for teaching cadets). He knew lots of languages. He was kicked out of two seminaries.
I never thought about this
before. In May 1963, JFK impersonator Vaughn Meader won the Grammy for Album of
the Year for his comedy record “The First Family,” a spoof on the Kennedys, and
was one of the nation’s most popular entertainers in the nation. Later, his
life into a tragic downward spiral. After the assassination, the popular album
was pulled from stores, along with its sequel, as Cadence Records didn’t want
to appear to be making money on the murder of the president. Meader’s gigs were
canceled and his career was effectively over.
A New Orleans tour guide spoke on
an Oswald tour he gives. I ordered his book called The New Orleans GuideBook to
Lee Harvey Oswald.
A Repainting History contest was held
before the conference and one of the entries showed how everyone was a pawn.
People came from Liverpool, Phoenix, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, Baton Rouge and the Desert Sun newspaper area.
