Panel of Authors Meets at Third Conference To Try To Exonerate Oswald

 

A mosaic of information was presented at the Oswald Conference held in October in Kenner just months before the 100th birthday of President John Kennedy to pique interest in the lone shooter theory being incorrect.

 

Featured over two and a half days were authors and researchers with a collective knowledge of hundreds of years, one going as far to say that we were all shot that day. Attendees came from the United Kingdom, Scotland, Washington and Florida.

 

George Noory, two-time Emmy winner and radio host, said we lost America that day. "It was taken away from us."

 

Barr McClellan, author of Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK, says not a day goes by when he doesn't research. The assassination is still an open case in Dallas because it never went to trial, he said.

 

Gary Fannin, author of The Innocence of Oswald–50+ Years of Lies, Deception & Deceit in the Murders of President John F. Kennedy & Officer J.D. Tippit, said whoever ascends to power is what historians should study. And who had something to lose if Kennedy lived?

 

David Denton, a social science instructor at a college in Illinois, said while teaching the assassination, in about 20 minutes, "You're going to figure out something's wrong" with the Warren Commission outcome.

 

Edgar Tatro, professor and author, said the media lied, spun or hid truth, obliterating the understanding of history. "The bamboozle captures you," he said. He said the assassination is the huge dam behind which all other lies lie.

 

While the Mafia, CIA, Russians, Cubans and any number of groups could have killed Kennedy, Tatro said, they could not have gotten Kennedy's car to drive only 11 m.p.h. without a bubbletop through Dealey Plaza. That came from Lyndon Johnson's inner circle, he said.

 

It was brought up that it seemed mysterious that Tom Shipman, Kennedy's regular driver, died at age 51 at Camp David six weeks before the assassination. Replacement William Greer did not accelerate once Kennedy was shot and brake lights were shown in a photo. In Killing Kennedy, he turns around.

Panelists said 28 suspicious deaths have an alleged connection to the Kennedy assassination.

Also mentioned was the diary of Roscoe White, a former Marine and Dallas police officer, found by his son 11 years after the assassination, which indicates his involvement. Roscoe's wife was employed by Jack Ruby for several weeks and she apparently overheard her husband and Ruby discussing plans for the assassination.

Judyth Baker, who worked in a coffee shop with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 and claimed to be his mistress, was a prodigy in cancer research who shortly thereafter worked with Dr. Mary Sherman who was murdered (still unsolved), and a cast of assassination characters with such familiar names as David Ferrie, a central figure in District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the assassination that brought Clay Shaw to trial. Baker had a key to Sherman's home.

 

When Baker worked with Oswald, he had conversations with her about operations being conducted against Fidel Castro possibly involving biological weapons. They visited Ferrie's home where he apparently kept mice.

 

Panelist Victoria Hawes said she was neighbors to Sherman and Juan Valdes and heard constant toilet flushing, which she later believed to be mice cancer carcasses. She knew Oswald from junior high school and he knocked on her door once, mistaking it for the apartment of Valdes.

 

Baker has a medical anthropology degree. She said Oswald was not dumb, saying he used the word vestibule instead of atrium as an example. Baker said Let It Be Me by the Everly Brothers was "their song."

 

She spoke of the famous photo of the Oswald shooting by Ruby with the law enforcement escort wearing what she called a "don't shoot at me suit," a light color. She said Oswald was not given oxygen in the ambulance.

 

She said she met Rafael Cruz at the Trade Mart. Ted Cruz's father was brought up when Donald Trump implied he was linked to the assassination.

 

In fear of what might happen to her, Baker lives overseas and did not go to her sister's wedding or grandparents' funerals.

 

Gary Severson spoke of a conservation tour that Kennedy was on from Sept. 24 through Oct. 3, weeks before the assassination. He attended one in Grand Forks, N.D., at age 16 and got through five sets of doors in the arena, breaching security. Yet there were snipers on the roof. Later in life, he researched how he could have had such access and was told the head of security, Dr. John Penn, professor, gave the keys to the building to the Secret Service.

 

H.L. Hunt spent time in North Dakota and money in an anti-Kennedy campaign because Kennedy was interested in revoking the oil depletion allowance, a decision that would have meant steep losses for Texas oilmen, Severson said.

 

In his research, Severson heard ranting about killing Kennedy and people sending letters to LBJ claiming they saw Oswald in North Dakota in the late 1950s  "to leave a paper trail."

 

Roger Stone, author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, worked for nine Presidents (Nixon and Reagan). He said LBJ had motive, means and opportunity. Who controlled the Dallas Police Department and the D.A.?, he asked. Murder of a President was not a federal crime at the time Kennedy was assassinated. The police chief never left LBJ's sight, even on the plane, Stone said. Protocols used in Miami and Chicago Kennedy visits were not observed in Dallas. The number of motorcycle police patrolmen was not as high and plainclothesmen were not in the crowd, Stone said.

 

In a forensics panel that included Dennis David, a corpsman at Bethesda Naval Hospital, he said there were two caskets brought there. He said his mentor William Pitzer's alleged possession of autopsy-related film and photographs appeared to contradict the official findings of the autopsy. Pitzer was found with a single gunshot wound to the head the same day the Kennedy family agreed to release to the National Archives several items related to the autopsy. The Naval investigation into Pitzer's death reported no evidence of foul play, but David disagrees.

 

James Jenkins, one of two Navy corpsmen who served as an autopsy technician, said he believes the President's brain was removed and replaced, possibly substituted, between Dallas and Bethesda.

 

Other testimony of various speakers included mention of Ike Altgens of the Associated Press having a photo of LBJ already ducking before the bullets were fired and the Dallas funeral home saying Kennedy had glass fragments in him from a bullet through the windshield, defying the shot from behind theory.

 

Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets, said George H.W. Bush oddly doesn't remember where he was when Kennedy was assassinated. He covers five chapters on the assassination in the book. He believes in a penumbra of covert CIA operations. Baker founded www.whowhatwhy.org.

On Fire Book Review

After seeing the author on the 700 Club, I had to have his book, On Fire. Surprisingly, it wasn't at Lifeway. I started on Wednesday night and finished Saturday, not reading Thursday or Friday night. It's in my top ten favorites and I read a lot. I made highlights on 111 of 272 pages.
Trust me, you don't want to be in a fire. Or do you? Fire is a source of heat, cooks our food, warms our homes, strengthens steel, forms glass, powers engines and clears deadwood. It removes old vegetation, fertilizes the land with life-giving nutrients, breaks open seeds and triggers new growth. Some seeds require fire to soften their outer shell after the seed falls to the earth, so it can take root and grow.
At 9, author John O'Leary lit a piece of cardboard on fire, walked over to a five-gallon can of gasoline and tilted it. He was burned on 100 percent of his body; 87 percent were third degree. Burned skin will never grow back without donor skin; donor skin must come from the recipient's body. The mortality rate for burn patients is calculated by taking the percentage of the body burned and adding the age of the patient.
Yet O'Leary has no regrets. He said it would destroy all the gifts galvanized because of what happened to him. He would have denied the world the chance to hear of his miracle of survival, the wonder of his life and the magnificent potential of theirs. His experiences shaped him, character drove him and faith guided him.
What if he had stayed in a fearful, self-focused mindset? Thankfully, he decided no more sleepwalking; no more accidental living.
His mother's face was an inflection point, a moment in time that changes everything that follows. In the hospital, she said, "Own your life. Fight for it yourself. Choose not to die. Take the hand of God." She forced him to pick up his fork to feed himself. His doctor told the janitor he was keeping him alive. By keeping the room clean to stop infection.
He tells of a story between two Roger Staubach employees fighting over commission. They could not work it out and Staubach donated the commission to charity. They should be responsible for succeeding together or for failing together. Their choice.
He says to erase it's not my fault from your vocabulary. Say, "It's my life and I'm responsible for it."
The O'Leary family lost their house and his siblings lost time with their parents during his five-month hospitalization. They were ages 18 months to 17. Neighbors opened their homes. His sisters were prescribed sleeping pills because of witnessing the event. One sister likely saved his scalp and face by running in and out to pour cups of water on him. Another spoke assurances to him. His older brother swung the flames and urged, "Wake up. Stay awake. Don't go to sleep." The community raised money, donated blood and offered prayers. It was all a gift. Staff, siblings, parents, celebrities, family, friends and strangers. A little boy fought. God had orchestrated it. Love had fueled it.
O'Leary lost his fingers, the ability to walk initially and was scarred from his neck to toes. He was sedated, mummified and strapped down. We pluck, smear foundation, wax, curl eyelashes and whiten teeth. Ads make us wonder if we keep up. We are not afraid of who we think we are, but who we think we're not. He tells the story of Phra Phuttha Maha Suwana Patimakon. Chip away the plaster, pull down the mask, peel off the bandages and allow the miracle of your life to shine brightly.
Know your story, what you've been through and what matters most to you. One person told him, "John, if you really knew me, you'd know that when I was seven, my father was murdered and my mother and I were both grateful."
O'Leary's dad now has Parkinson's and he had never missed day of school, college, law school or work. O'Leary spoke with his dad who said he was grateful it was not a more serious disease; he had time to reflect; on days he can't speak or walk he is grateful for the ones he can; and is thankful for handicapped parking spots. Instead of looking for what he is lacking, he looks for what he is blessed with. We know people who have everything and are grateful for nothing and those who have nothing and are grateful for everything.
What is a victim's favorite question? Why me? Victors see the past as a powerful teacher and view the future as bright, O'Leary said. They consider challenges a gift. They look at what they have, not what they lack. They escape from chains that bind and walls that trap them into a life that is on fire and a party that is raging. They unlock vitality, optimism and longevity.
In the famous nun study, 34 percent of those who were least cheerful in journaling were alive at 85. Ninety percent who were most cheerful were still alive at 85. A decade later, 54 percent of the most cheerful were alive at 94, compared to 11 percent of the least cheerful.
O'Leary says you can't have joy without gratitude. A man in jail listed 31 things he was thankful for--heat, air, library, warm bed, laundry service, chance for redemption, new friends, leaving behind old circumstances, three square meals daily, pillow, blanket and life.
O'Leary's doctor said perhaps he couldn't be a court reporter, but could be a lawyer or judge. He may not play baseball again, but he could manage a team. He may not be a carpenter, but could be a general contractor.
Glenn Cunningham, silver medalist in the 1936 Olympics, came to see him. Cunningham had been in a fire in which his brother died. He knew he wasn't going to live his life sitting down, so he got up. He died two weeks after visiting O'Leary at 78. Cunningham and Roy, his nurse, showed him the power of looking up. Whether we are too injured, scarred, filled with excuses because we have been trained to keep our eyes down making sure we don't trip, know that looking down is practical. But you must look ahead or you will miss the beauty of what is possible. Cunningham over four decades served, raised, fostered and encouraged more than 9,000 children at his ranch. The world celebrates status, the medal, the house, the beautiful face, but the medals deteriorate. The house ages. The face sags. The victories we clamor for often end up feeling hollow. But what Cunningham did after the fire burns long after he is gone. It's a ripple effect.
Therapists took O'Leary to the broom closet for his painful treatments out of respect for him and other patients. He had hernias, broken bones, burns, bandage changes, infected abscesses and cellulitis. His joints were stretched, blood was drawn from his toes and skin grafted from his head. He now says to intentionally stretch every area of your life.
When a couple stop pursuing one another, stop choosing to really love, stop choosing to grow together, stop forgiving, they begin to die. They donn't fall out of love. They stop growing in love. Death seldom occurs overnight. It's a slow fade. The changes can be subtle, but make no mistake; in choosing not to grow, we choose to die, O'Leary says.
O'Leary now gives presentations that educate, inspire, engage, motivate and transform audiences. Owning your own story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it is an appropriate Brene Brown quote. O'Leary threw up before speaking to four Girl Scouts on his first attempt to tell his story. Now he speaks at 120 events annually held by organizations in healthcare, sales, marketing, financial services, education, spirituality and safety. Southwest Airlines, LEGO and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are clients.
At one presentation 24 years after the incident, nurse Roy appeared as a surprise. He said, "John, I did my job. I mattered." Roy realized it that day. Roy was always saying, "You are going to walk!"
Jack Buck, voice of the St. Louis Cardinals and Hall of Fame announcer, was someone O'Leary idolized. He, too, visited, saying, "Kid, wake up, you are going to live." He promised John O'Leary Day at the ballpark. He scrubbed up, gowned up, walked into O'Leary's room and into his life as a stranger. Buck sent other athletes. A hockey player said he would score a goal for him. The team and the mascot brought pizza after one game.
A next door neighbor told a friend who told a friend who shared the initial burn news with her neighbor whose dad sat next to Buck one night. The impact of a single spark is profound. Buck sent a baseball from All-Star shortstop Ozzie Smith. "Kid, if you want a second baseball, you have to write a thank you note to the man who signed it first," wrote Buck. This made fingerless O'Leary write again. By the time the Cardinals played in the World Series that October, a little boy in St. Louis had received 60 baseballs and sent 60 notes.
Years later, O'Leary spoke three different times in different cities in a matter of days. People lined up to share their stories about someone who impacted them. Three times it was about Mr. Buck. In New York, Buck bought someone's lunch. In Missouri, it was a starving artist who was painting Buck's house. Buck invited him to create a painting of Cardinals Hall of Famers. They sold 250 for charity. It raised $500,000 and launched the guy's career. In Illinois, a man was to open a sales meeting and could not speak due to nerves. A man walked up and put his arm around him, read the first line on his notes and said, "OK, kid, I think you can take it from here." Buck again. Buck sought significance over success. Significance attracts success.
Buck gave O'Leary his Baseball Hall of Fame crystal baseball from 1987, the year of the burn, for graduation. One person can make a difference. O'Leary named his oldest son Jack after Buck.
O'Leary once was a hospital chaplain. He discovered that saying nothing during times of great emotion is often the best form of communication. Strolling in the park, sitting with a child on the beach and rocking on a porch are OK. We just want someone to be fully present.
O'Leary marries. The principal told O'Leary his boys were the only ones who pushed kids' wheelchairs and sat at lunch with those with special needs.
While fear suffocates, love liberates, O'Leary said. When he was discharged, his dad had a wheelbarrow with champagne and Life Savers. O'Leary thought his dad would kill him for what he had done. He was once in trouble for having grass stains covering his church clothes when he was told to change.
Pedro Arrupe said what you are in love with will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed, how you spend your weekends, what you read, what breaks your heart and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, it will decide everything. Or replace love with the word fear. When you let go of fear, your hands can finally grasp the love and joy that have been waiting all along.
Nothing worthy is easy. Get the kids tucked in, prayed up and in bed. Instead of I do, we say I have to. Say I want to. Love is not just reserved for our inner circle. It is intended to be the currency of our world.
What if you could walk into every interaction expecting a smile, new friend and true connection? What if every moment was a miracle? What if every interaction was seen not from the perspective of what might go wrong next time, but from one certain that the best is yet to come? Perhaps Mark Twain said it best: I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.
O'Leary also quotes Og Mandino, my father's favorite: I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.
O'Leary stresses don't confuse getting out of bed with being fully awake. Every great spiritual teacher discusses the importance of staying awake, learning to live in the present moment and not being fixated on when things might get better in the future. The name Buddha means awakened or I am awake. Jesus often told his followers to wake up, to keep watch, to be alert, to be on the ready. My favorite verse is Mark 31:13. Take heed, be vigilant and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
O'Leary adds don't be mired in regret or defeat.
Unbelievably, O'Leary's parents' house caught fire a second time. It was something in the toaster that lodged while they were outside. Being a contractor, which O'Leary had become, he could rebuild the same house burned two decades earlier. There is always a chance for redemption, to rebuild, to await a miracle, O'Leary said.
He said the most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.
This book is an invitation to start living your life again. You can lead a radically inspired life.
Remember, “The tongue is like a fire, comprising all iniquity.” (James 3:6)
