|
Presenter - John Armstrong John Armstrong is a prominent researcher and author of the book "Harvey and Lee", a landmark investigation of Lee Oswald's biography. Armstrong's theory of an intelligence operation running two separate Oswalds is controversial, but his research extends to many corners of the assassination story, and in fascinating factual detail shows indisputably that a massive coverup was engaged concealing the Oswald story, and that Oswald was framed by the authorities for the murder of JFK. harveyandlee.net |

|
Presenter - John Armstrong In his book "Harvey And Lee", John Armstrong takes a careful sceptical look at the Oswald in Mexico City story, which was accepted uncritically by the Warren Commission but has faced scrutiny ever since. Armstrong works from long-classified files compiled by staff members of the HSCA, which revealed that the CIA lied to government investigators.

|
Presenter - Len Osanic A third person was wounded in Dealey Plaza. James Tague, standing near the Triple Underpass, was struck in the cheek by a piece of the nearby curb when an apparent stray bullet impacted. The Warren Commission never could explain the bullet damage to the curbstone or how it related to a shot sequence explaining the assassination |
|
presenter - Robert Groden Author and photographic consultant Robert Groden has served as a curator of amateur films and photographs from November in Dallas. Here, Groden contextualizes the pictures and films exposed in the seconds immediately after the shots were fired, which support what many witnesses said: the focus of attention almost immediately was on the knoll area and not the School Book Depository building. www.jfkmurder.com |
|
Presenter - Barry Ernest Barry Ernest's book "The Girl On The Stairs" has received high praise and is considered one of the more significant of recent publications on the assassination. The book tells two stories: one of the subject, assassination witness Victoria Adams, and the second of the author's own experiences as a researcher over the decades. Simply put, Victoria Adams' corroborated testimony devastates the Warren Commission's conclusions and the Commission knew it even as it wrongly questioned her integrity. thegirlonthestairs.wordpress.com |
|
Presenter - James Fetzer Professor James Fetzer is the Distinguished McKnight Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota Duluth and the author of numerous books and articles on the assassination. |
|
Presenter - Len Osanic Much of the so-called bedrock evidence in this case was discovered on the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository by members of the Dallas Police Department. Due to lapses during the initial investigation, the official record of the discovery of the supposed sniper’s nest as well as the alleged assassin’s rifle is incomplete. |
|
Presenter - Fletcher Prouty Photographs from Dealey Plaza featuring the "Three Tramps" has long fascinated researchers and led to much unsupported speculation. Fletcher Prouty's interest in the photos focused on a different speculation than most: he was interested less in the tramps than in a man seen passing them in one photo, a man Prouty identified as notorious psychological warfare expert General Edward Lansdale. While this ID has been controversial, other Pentagon insiders confirmed privately to Prouty that the man indeed was Ed Lansdale. www.prouty.org |
|
Presenter - Jim DiEugenio Author Jim DiEugenio narrates information from his book 'Destiny Betrayed 2nd Edition" which examines the curious role played by Ruth and Michael Paine as they intersected with the Oswalds in the spring and autumn of 1963. While the Warren Commission portrayed the Paines as a simple Quaker couple, later research discovered ties to the intelligence community which had been either denied or downplayed. www.ctka.net |
|
Presenter - Len Osanic & John Armstrong Lee Oswald's behaviour in the minutes following the assassination seems inexplicable: is he a panic stricken assassin fleeing the scene of the crime or a trained intelligence operative heading to a prearranged location? Len reviews what passes for the official story with a critical eye. John Armstrong picks up the trail and examines details of the Tippit story - from the GloCo station to the Texas Theater. www.harveyandlee |
|
Presenter - John Armstrong John Armstrong's mammoth book "Harvey and Lee" questions the official story's Oswald narrative, and includes critical information about activity inside the Texas Theater early in the afternoon of November 22, 1963. Witnesses inside the Texas Theater said Oswald arrived a half hour or so before the official story has it, and described him as moving from seat to seat as if expecting to meet with someone. www.harveyandlee |

|
Presenter - Robert Groden Robert Groden served as a photographic consultant for the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s. He has authored several books on the assassination, and produced documentaries such as "JFK:The Case For Conspiracy". A central contradiction in the evidence remains the unexplained divergence between witness accounts of the president’s head wound and the official record including photos resulting from the autopsy www.jfkmurder.com |
|
Presenter - Pat Speer Researcher Pat Speer encapsulates a wealth of information developed in much greater detail in his online book "A New Perspective On The Kennedy Assassination". The wound on the President's back, according to autopsy diagrams and his clothing, appears to be at an anatomical position which does not allow for the trajectory of the Single Bullet Theory. This "problem" for the official story was downplayed and even lied about by the autopsy doctors and other official investigators. www.patspeer.com |
|
presenter - Len Osanic Oswald was fingered as the assassin of JFK almost from the moment he was taken into custody at the Texas Theater. The hallways of the Dallas police were allowed to become a chaotic crush of bodies and video equipment. as reporters breathlessly presented live reports to a still traumatized public. The crazy scene belied the fact that the Dallas Police had very little evidence linking their prisoner to the killing. |
|
Series editor Jeff Carter assembles documentary news footage broadcast live on November 24 1963, as the transfer of prisoner Oswald went wrong and the assassination narrative toppled and lay exposed.

|

|
