That JFK was hit with a nerve agent is one of the great untold truths of the JFK assassination. These 4 images are what ice it for me. We are looking at a man who is in severe muscle spasm. What could have caused it? Certainly not a bullet. JFK did not suffer any spinal damage. Before reaching the TSBD, he was fine. He was waving, smiling; he was relaxed. This upheaval we are seeing here could only have been induced chemically. It was from the first shot, which contained a nerve agent. You know, of course, that the Single Bullet Theory is nonsense. But, so is the theory that he was shot in the back with a bullet that just stopped under his skin. The Laws of Physics say that that's impossible. The energy and momentum that the bullet had to have to reach him insured that it would traveled farther into him than it did. But, an ice projectile would have melted rapidly. And realize that ice can be formulated so that it shatters on contact. Haven't you ever had an ice cube shatter when you tried to dig it out of a tray? What causes that are minerals in the water. So, they had this tiny frozen projectile that was designed to rupture inside him. It probably took no more than a second for every trace of it to be gone. But, the rupturing of it got the nerve agent into his blood very quickly; almost instantaneously. This really happened. I am absolutely certain of it. There is no other explanation for what we see in him.

This is a very good and concise description of nerve agents from the Argon site.

 The history of nerve agents

The earliest weaponized form of nerve agent is Tabun which was synthesized by a team of German scientists, led by Gerhard Schrader, on the eve of the Second World War. Its discovery was an accidental by-product of research into the use of insecticides.

The principal nerve agents are sarin (GB), soman (GD), tabun (GA) and VX.According to the US, the VX nerve agent was the chemical used to kill the half-brother of Kim Jong-un in 2017.

Exposure to nerve agents

Nerve agents are easily absorbed via the respiratory tract. Victims can experience symptoms, such as runny nose and tightness in the chest or throat, within seconds or minutes after exposure.

In liquid form, nerve agents are readily absorbed via the skin and eyes. Vapers won't be absorbed through the skin unless in very high concentrations. Ocular effects can result due to both direct contact and systemic absorption.

The timing and nature of symptoms following dermal contact with a liquid nerve agents depends upon the exposure dose. In some cases the effects may be delayed for up to 18 hours.

Ingestion of nerve agents is a relatively rare occurrence compared to skin contact or inhalation, however, they are readily absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with highly toxic effect.

Symptoms of nerve agent exposure

One of the first symptoms of nerve agent exposure is miosis - excessive constriction of the pupil of the eye.

Other major symptoms include convulsions, loss of consciousness, excessive fluid secretion of the lungs, high blood pressure, raised heart rate (and then later, lowered heart rate), nausea and vomiting.

RC: So, notice that it says that nerve agents are exposed easily through the skin. And they are referring to just getting the nerve agent on the intact skin and having it soak in. In JFK's case, we are talking about a missile that pierced his skin. And then, it says that other major symptoms include convulsions. A convulsion is an abnormal and involuntary contraction of skeletal muscles. And that is exactly what we are seeingon Kennedy. His arms were in spasm, and he couldn't put them down. Jackie even tried to get him to put his arms down, but to no avail. She pressed on his arm, which was her trying to get him to put his spasmodic arm down. He couldn't do it, and she couldn't do it for him. 

If you look at these images from another post, you'll see what I mean, that JFK was stuck in a spasmodic state, and he couldn't do a thing about it.

Now, I have a first-hand reference to the fact that the CIA heart attack gun could deliver nerve agents. Mary Embree, who was a CIA agent, not a field operative, but a researcher and administrator. And she said that the heart attack gun could also deliver shellfish neurotoxin, which paralyzes muscles. I have watched the video in which she talked about the neurotoxin.

I don't know who operates this Conspiracy Wiki website, but you'll notice that after describing the toxin, he presents a list of possible victims, and one of them is John F. Kennedy, who suffered an "unexplainable wound," and which refers to the shallow back wound. 

https://conspiracy.fandom.com/wiki/Heart_Attack_Gun

Now, let's talk about shellfish neurotoxin. The toxin is produced by algae, and it's not an uncommon occurrence in Florida, where it is known as a "red tide.". 

The toxins are known as brevetoxins, and they interfere with the sodium channels resulting in neuro-excitation.  Read here about neurotoxic shellfish poisoning.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579735/#:~:text=Neurotoxic%20Shellfish%20Poisoning%20(NSP)%20is%20a%20disease%20caused%20by%20the,Ptychodiscus%20brevis)%20%5B1%5D.

The first symptoms are numbness and tingling. That's followed by ataxia, which refers to the loss of control of bodily movements, which JFK exhibited in the back of that limo, where he couldn't put his arms down. Speaking difficulties, disorientation, and seeming to be intoxicated follow, and that all applies to JFK, who couldn't speak, was obviously disoriented, and appeared to be suddenly intoxicated. 

Just look at the man. He can't unflex his arm. He is out of it mentally, and not from traumatic brain damage because that hadn't happened yet.

Kennedy was hit with a nerve agent. That's what the shot in the back was all about. That's the reason it was so shallow and went unnoticed at Parkland. The physical trauma done to him by bullets cannot explain his bizarre behavior.  It was caused by a toxin delivered by the heart attack gun. And it happened high on the hill, just past the TSBD. It hit him just before the Croft photo was taken, where you see the elated, smiling African-American women waving at him. 

JFK was already hit in the back there, and not with a bullet, but a neuro-toxic dart.  And at that point, the limo was traveling very slowly, giving it time to seep in. 

This collage really shows the likeness of the figure in the doorway after the assassination to Oswald. The angles are different, and there is distortion in the image on the left from being blown up so much. But, despite that, the shape of the head, the depth of the head, the layout of the hair and the size of the recession on the left side, is exactly the same on both of them. I wonder what Oswald asked or told Police Inspector J. Herbert Sawyer? David Joseph found evidence that Sawyer was in the FBI as well as the Dallas Police.

The theme song to HIS STRETCH OF TEXAS GROUND, I'll Always Come Home To You, is now up on Youtube, and there is a true story behind it. It was July 1964. My father, Mark Cinque, was a policeman in New York City, and he was about to leave for work- to patrol the streets at night during the Harlem Riot. My mother was beside herself with fear and despair. She begged him not to go. He took her by the shoulders and said to her very earnestly, "Rene, I am coming home to you."   

I was 13 at the time, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

So, this song is dedicated to all the law enforcement couples who face the danger of that job, day in and day out, to protect us all.    

My thanks to our vocalist, who is also the star of the movie, Jeff Weber; to Christy Mims, who did the backup vocals so beautifully; to Ace in the Hole Band guitarist Rick McRae; to Ace in the Hole Band bassist Terry Hale. Both Rick and Terry wrote to me afterwards to say how much they like the song.  I also thank our master sound engineer George Coyne; and for crafting the video so beautifully, Jeff Stolhand.

Trump has pardoned four Blackwater contractors who were convicted of killing innocent civilians in Iraq, and it is causing outrage. This article in USA Today puts it in perspective,.

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-blackwater-pardons-erase-line-194759683.html

And it's not that I disagree with any of it, but, the criminality didn't start with those contractors. The criminality started with George W. Bush. He's the one who launched the war. He set it in motion. He's the one who should be in prison, more than anyone else. Every single claim Bush made to justify the Iraq War proved to be a lie. And, you can't fall back on, "But, Saddam Hussein was a bad guy anyway, and the Iraqi people are better off without him." That's irrelevant. War is the worst thing there is, and nobody has the right to start one on such a basis. The whole idea of preemptive war is a false concept. The same goes for "just war" because it's used to justify starting wars. Starting a war is always wrong. It's what led to the Blackwater contractors being there in Iraq.  What they did was the direct result of what Bush did in starting the war and sending them there. And what they did is just one example of many monstrous acts that were committed during the Iraq war.  Really,  the whole war was a monstrous act. George W. Bush had no legal or moral right to launch the war. So, the question is: when is George W. Bush going to face justice?

A young American woman was sentenced to 4 months in prison for breaking her Covid quarantine. After the U.S. media picked up the story, the sentence was reduced to 2 months. But, notice in this picture that the young woman is masked, but not the male and female police officers. It looks like they just came out of the building, so how come no mask on the officer? 

 

S

On the right margin of this photo, standing in the doorway, talking to a policeman, shortly after the JFK assassination, was Lee Harvey Oswald. And anyone who disagrees needs to explain how, at the TSBD, there could be not 2, but 3 people who looked and dressed like Lee Harvey Oswald. Because: there is no way that that was Billy Lovelady, and we've already got him, supposedly, as an Oswald look-alike and dress-alike. 

And you need to know something about the geography of that situation. That was at the top of Elm Street, and it descends down to the TSBD building. Then, it ascends up the steep steps of the building. So, even though they all seem to be at the same level, they are up a hill, and he is up steep steps, and that is why they seem to be level. 

If you've ever been to that place, and I've been there many times, that entrance is like a cave. The steps are deep and steep. There is no way that that figure could have been a random spectator. Nobody would be up those steps unless he had business with the TSBD or worked for them. So, that guy had to be an employee. He got there because he came out of that building. And he came out of that building because he belonged in that building. And that's why I say: he must have worked there. 

Reportedly, that can't be Oswald because it was taken too late, when Oswald was in custody, after his arrest in the theater. But, what are you going to believe: that, or your own two eyes? That's Oswald, and the Laws of Probability say that it can't be anyone else. So, that photo must have been taken earlier, around 12:34.

Now, how many murderers, when fleeing the scene of their crime, stop to hobnob with the police? And we know who that policeman was. He was Police Inspector J. Herbert Sawyer. He's the guy who spoke to Howard Brennan about supposedly seeing Oswald in the 6th floor window. Sawyer never admitted talking to Oswald shortly after the shooting. But, one thing we can be sure ofis that Oswald must have started the conversation. Oswald must have sought him and not vice versa. You can tell that from the dynamic of the situation, as Sawyer is not even facing Oswald. 

I hope you realize that there is no case against Oswald, that the only thing holding up the ridiculous story that he shot JFK is the power of the State.  

What I like best about Christmas are the songs because there are so many great ones, and that includes this one from 1953, composed by Phil Springer, with lyrics by Joan Javits: Santa Baby. And Phil is still alive and kicking at the age of 94. He wrote a lot of songs, but he'll always be remembered as the guy who wrote Santa Baby. 

The song was written for the great Eartha Kitt, but following her came Marilyn Monroe, and many others, including modern singers like Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani. And singing it this evening is a very talented local Austin singer with a charming voice, Hannah Vaughn.  

The song is a "doo-wop" which is a 4 chord progression that was very popular in the 1950s. Usually, it went 1-6-4-5, but this one goes 1-6-2-5. But either way, I like how the doo-wop shuffles, and it's fun. Thank you, Hannah.

This is the great guitarist Rick McRae and myself taken at the studio of George Coyne, where Rick laid down guitar tracks for my song, I'll Always Come Home To You.

First, he laid down an acoustic track and then an electric guitar track. Both he and George Coyne recommended adding a standing bass player afterwards to smooth it all out and blend it all together, and George is going to get famed bass player Terry Hale to do it.

So next, it will be Christy Mims adding vocal harmony to Jeff Weber's singing, and that will be Thursday morning. And then Thursday evening, it will be Terry Hale, and then we'll be done.

What I heard in Rick's playing was the addition of some tenderness to the song, which I think is good because I think it is, fundamentally, a sad song.

So, this went great, and much thanks to Rick McRae.

Talk about good filmmaking, if you haven't seen this little piece about the Christmas Truce during World War 1, you really should. It's enough to bring you to tears. And it's a true story, where British and German soldiers emerged from their trenches on Christmas Eve to wish each other Merry Christmas, sing carols, trade clumsiness speaking each other's language, and even playing soccer. Oh, what a terrible war WW1, and so unnecessary. One guy gets killed in Sarejevo, then 40 million had to die because of it. Hardly anyone wanted that war. It was just people in high places who wanted it. And, if there had been no World War 1, it's very likely there would have been no World War 2. So, watch this little piece about the Christmas truce, because I think you will be moved.

Jack Ruby: did they ever get wild with his hair. And sometimes they just got lazy about it, and I mean careless. First, understand something: he was practically bald on top. A few thin sparse strands was all he had. It was so little that he didn't comb his hair on top, and we know that from a video taken in 1960. But, here he is on the night of the JFK assassination. This was him about 32 hours before the Oswald shooting. Don't mistakenly think he had a tuft of hair on top. That was somebody behind him. 

Here is another, and this was from his trial in March 1964. And note that it was retouched. Lower right, they got carried away.

They loved giving Jack Ruby a diagonal part. Here, it's on the left.

But, more often, they put it on the right, and this one is flagrantly fake. Have you ever seen anyone with hair like this? They weren't even trying to be realistic on this one. 

Nor here either. They just went crazy with the Sharpie. Anyone can color.

And sometimes, they just threw caution to the wind and gave him a mop. 

So, why did they do this? It was because the Garage Shooter had such a thick mane in back. How could he be bald on top? Look at it all curling up at the bottom. It's a wig. Bookhout's wig. 

I have some exciting news. The acclaimed guitarist Rick McRae, who tours annually with George Strait and his Ace in the Hole Band, has agreed to do the guitar track for I'll Always Come Home To You, the song I wrote for the Closing Credits of His Stretch of Texas Ground. Rick is coming up from San Antonio to do that, and it's a great honor. Also, our star and vocalist, Jeff Weber, is seeking to get a female vocalist to do the harmonizing with him on the song. That's exciting too because I think it will add a very nice flourish to the song. And it brings back memories of another great Austin singer/songwriter, the late great Jimmy LaFave who often had a female harmonizing with him to great advantage. Here's an example, Jimmy's song Car Outside.

You know this Croft image is highly manipulated. It's shouting that at you. According to Officialdom, this was before JFK was hit at all. And Jackie isn't even looking at him. So, she isn't aware of anything, right? Then, WHY ISN'T SHE SMILING? She's a politician's wife, and she knows that her job is to wave and smile. He was working the crowd on his side of the street, and she was working the crowd on her side. This was a POLITICAL visit. You get that, right? They were there to secure votes. So, why would she be bearing the expression you see there in the Croft photo? She's neither smiling nor waving. What's the explanation for that? She was not concerned about the sounds. She thought it was motorcycles. So, she would have been in politician's wife mode there. She would not have received the crowd with such an expression. It's got to be an image from another time. 

She would have had an expression like this below. And notice there that her hair wasn't all ironed, Marlo Thomas from That Girl.

Look what they did to her hair. That's paint. They didn't have Photoshop in those days, so they used paint. This is a monstrosity of manipulation, and it was necessitated by the fact that JFK WAS SHOT IN THE BACK!

  

I know it's hard to accept that they could have had a nerve agent that could pierce the skin in a frozen dart and then start affecting JFK toxically in a matter of seconds. But, until 1975, we didn't know they had a gun that could deliver such a drug-contained dart. But, they definitely had such a gun, and it's pretty fantastic in itself. 

You know that the former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a nerve agent in Salisbury, England. The man who found them said, "the man went stiff."

He was stiff, was he? I'll show you a guy who was stiff.

He's stiffening his neck, hunching his shoulders, flexing his arms, and he can't release it. He couldn't release any of it. It just progressed. It got worse and worse. He was curling up into a contracted state. Now: that was not due to his trauma. He had no damage to his nervous system at that point. It was not until the fatal head shot, which followed this, that his central nervous system was involved. The trauma to this point could not have caused this. This was caused by a drug; a nerve agent.

Can nerve agents act through the skin? The Health Department of New York State says so.

Nerve agents are highly toxic, and even small amounts can cause health effects if they are inhaled, ingested or if they contact skin or eyes. Health effects occur more rapidly (within seconds to minutes) from inhalation and ingestion exposure than from skin or eye exposure.

Now remember: we're not talking about on the skin, but through the skin. They state that health effects can manifest within seconds from inhalation or ingestion, and by ingestion, it means by mouth. But, when that frozen dart pierced the skin, it drew blood. Even a mosquito bite can draw blood. And obviously, something introduced into the blood is going to start working quickly. 

Nerve agents work by deactivating an enzyme called cholinesterase. Cholinesterase breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. And acetylcholine is what tells muscles to contract. So, cholinesterase, by breaking down acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, gets muscles to let go. No cholinesterse, and your muscles can't let go; and you can't make them let go.   

In JFK's case, he suffered the toxic effect of a nerve agent, and that is why his muscles stiffened up so much. However, he also suffered mental effects. He was obviously impaired mentally. He was really very incapacitated mentally. And I don't know if that was the effect of the same drug, or if it was another drug they also included. Obviously, there are a lot of drugs that can have mind-numbing effects. 

But, why did they do this? They did it because they knew he was a smart guy, and he had been through war, and he knew what it was like to come under attack. So, if they didn't kill him with the very first shot, he could have and probably would have taken evasive action. He could have lowered himself in the car and told his wife to do likewise. He could have ordered the driver to floor it. They couldn't risk it. They had to "paralyze" him physically and mentally before he entered the Kill Zone so that he would be a sitting duck. The plan all along was to kill him in Lower Dealey Plaza because there were few people there, and probably half or more of the people there were their people. So, before he got to the Kill Zone, they had to prep him so that he would be a cooperative victim. 

JFK's strange behavior, both physically and mentally, in the Zapruder film, should have alerted people, particularly doctors, that he was drugged. There is no excuse for ignoring this. And there is nothing but a drug or drugs that could have done it to him. It was not the result of trauma. 

This song by Smokey Robinson is, to me, hypnotic. It pulls you in. It gets your cells oscillating, and even when it's over, they continue to oscillate. It was first recorded by Mary Wells in 1964, and then by Brenda Holloway, whose version went bigger. Both versions are exquisite; mine not so much, but it is unusual because males don't usually sing it. The song is: When I'm Gone.

 Notice that in the Croft photo, Jackie's hair was extended. Can you see that it's sticking out? They did that to keep us from getting a good look at JFK, who was shot already- in the back.

Look at this collage of Dan Rather and JFK. Rather is demonstrating what he is seeing JFK do in the Zapruder film. But, we don't see JFK do that in the JFK film that we have today. But, look at JFK in the Croft photo. Doesn't it look like his right arm may be going up the same way? That got cut out of the Zapruder film. He got hit in the back there, and they cut that out because they needed to consolidate the two shots (back and throat) into the Single Bullet Theory. They were separate shots, and many people recognize that. But, what they don't recognize is that there was a significant time interval between the two. The back and throat shots were NOT simultaneous. The back shot came first, high on the hill, and the throat shot came later, down by the freeway sign. 

This is a picture of Dan Rather describing the Zapruder film on November 25, 1963. He described things that we don't see in the Zapruder film today. Considering it was just the 25th, he may have seen the original, unaltered film. 

He said "About 35 yards past the base of the building, right below the window, President Kenney put his right hand up to the side of his head at the level of his eye brow. Just as he did that, he lurched forward. The first shot had hit him. Mrs. Kennedy was looking the other way. Then, Governor Connally turned around to offer aid. His jacket was open; his white shirt exposed; and at that moment, a short clearly hit the Governor in the front."

He then went on to describe the fatal head shot about as we know it. 

And as he described, it appeared that he was looking at images. I'm thinking he had film-frames in front of him.

So, the story, at that time, was going to be that there were 3 shots: the first hitting JFK, the second hitting Connally, and the 3rd hitting JFK again fatally.

But, you know what happened. It was discovered that James Tague was grazed by a shot, which meant they had to attribute one of the shots to him. Since that used up a shot, and they couldn't claim that Oswald had time to get off 4 shots, they had to make it that, prior to the fatal head shot, one shot did all the damage to JFK and Connally.

But, where I'm going with this is that Rather said that JFK was hit just 35 yards past the base of the building, from the point below the window. 35 yards isn't very far. Here is Dealey Plaza.

Within the white circle is the freeway sign. Now look at it in the Zapruder film.

Can you see that in the Z-film, the sign is much closer to the intersecion. I put a C for Corner where the intersection is. Compare them again:

The point is that it got cinched up in the Z-film. He reached the sign too soon in the Z-film. He reached it right away. But, the distance was greater than that, and the limo was traveling very slowly. They cut a big swath out of it. They cut out the part that Rather was talking about when JFK got hit the first time, which was in the back.  

Without a doubt, the first shot that hit him was the shot to his back. I maintain that that was with the "heart attack gun" that was examined by the Church Committee in 1975, except that instead of containing a drug to induce or mimic a heart attack, it contained a nerve agent. But, that's all I am going to say about that. If you don't agree with me about that, fine. If you want to think it was a regular bullet, fine. But, there is no denying that JFK was first hit high on the hill, and it was the shot to his back. So, he rode down that hill reacting to having been shot in the back, and they cut that out of the Z-film. 

Look again at the demonstration of what Dan Rather saw in the Zapruder film on November 24, 1963.

We don't see JFK do that in the Z-film that we have. I presume he did it, but they cut it out. The fatal head shot was supposedly taken at a distance of 82 meters which was over 90 yards. The shot that came before was less than that, but the limo was traveling extremely slowly. There is no way a shot of just 35 yards fits into the official story. But, the official story is wrong. I used to think that Dan Rather was lying, but now I know he wasn't. He was seeing the part that we have never seen. Indeed, JFK was hit about 35 yards past the corner. It was a split-second before the Croft photo was taken.

 What's JFK doing with his right arm below? 

Is it possible that he has it up at his temple as Rather demoed?

JFK was hit in the back high on the hill. Regardless of what the missile was, he was hit high on the hill before the limo reached the Kill Zone, as we know it. And he rode the distance from where he was hit to the Kill Zone reacting to having been shot in the back, and all that was cut out of Zapruder film, leaving us this ridiculous cinching up in which the freeway sign was moved up close to the top of the hill, as if Dealey Plaza was much shorter than it was.

Look on the right below at JFK. Doesn't it look like his right hand could be going up to his face, like we see on Rather? His arm seems to be going up to me.
