Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

 

The decimation of the mind of John F. Kennedy

 

There is tremendous significance to JFK not speaking after he was shot. It’s widely accepted that the last words he spoke were in response to Nellie Connally, when she said to him, "You certainly can't say that the people of Dallas haven't given you a nice welcome.”  And he said: "No, you certainly can't.”  That is according to Jackie Kennedy.  She said that those were his last words. He never spoke again after that. He never spoke again after being shot. And none of the limo occupants said that he spoke after being shot, except for one outlier: Roy Kellerman. In his WC testimony, Kellerman claimed that JFK yelled out, “My God, I am hit!”  That is absurd. The idea that JFK would get so theatrical is ridiculous.  And how is it that no one else in the limo heard it? Jackie was sitting right next to him, and the Connallys were right in front of him. If Kellerman heard it, wouldn’t they have heard it? Jackie said that after being shot, “my husband did not make any sound.”  Does that not settle the matter?  

So, Kellerman lied, and he may have been put up to lying. I mentioned that Postal Inspector Harry Hines claimed that, at the final interrogation on Sunday morning, Oswald waxed on and on about his trip to Mexico City. No one else but Hines claimed that, and we know for sure that Oswald did not go to Mexico City. When asked, he said he didn’t. He said that once he went to Tijuana, but that was his only foray into Mexico. So, Hines lied, and maybe he was put up to lying, since Oswald was dead, and they wanted the trip to Mexico City to be part of the story, as it is to this day. So, Hines lied, and maybe Kellerman was put up to lying too.

So, why didn’t JFK speak after he was shot the first time? It was just a shallow wound in his back that damaged no vital tissue. And there is no doubt that the back shot was the first shot, not the throat shot. In the Z-225, we are seeing his instantaneous reaction to the throat shot. So, he had to be hit with it just a few frames before. And if that was the first shot, then we’d be seeing the back shot in the frames that followed. But, we don’t, and it’s because he was already shot in the back before he disappeared behind the phony freeway sign. I showed you how in the Z film they put his hand over his face to hide his distressed look. And he stopped waving before he reached the sign. Likewise, in Crofts, Betzner, and Willis, he isn’t waving. JFK stopped waving in all those images because he was shot.

So, the back shot was the first shot, which struck him high on the hill and caused no significant physical damage, and no brain damage at all. But, didn’t he know that he was shot?   If you were shot in the back, wouldn’t you know  it? So, why didn’t he respond? Why didn’t he take evasive action, getting down low in the limo, and telling others to do the same, and telling Greer to floor it? He didn’t do any of those things, or anything else. And he did not speak. So, why not?  

It was because changes were occurring rapidly in his body that were overwhelming. When the ice bullet burst inside him, it was like an injection of the toxic payload into his bloodstream.

I remember once making a toast at my parents’ anniversary. I raised my glass, made the toast, and then wet my lips with it. I didn’t consciously swallow. But within seconds, I felt tipsy. You see, I wasn’t used to drinking alcohol at all. So, I wasn’t used to it. And I’m sure JFK wasn’t used to whatever was put into him.   

We need to look at JFK’s muteness as a sign of his intoxication. The back shot didn’t prevent him from speaking. And even the throat shot did not damage his larynx. It did damage his trachea, and if that compromised his speech, he could have at least tried to speak. Plus, he could have communicated non-verbally by pointing and gesturing. He could have grabbed Jackie and lowered her in the limo. But, he didn’t do anything. He was mentally torpid. So, how did he get that way? You can’t tell me that a shallow back wound and a throat wound had any effect on his mind. And it must have been from the back shot because he stopped speaking before he was shot in the throat.

So, JFK stopped speaking, and it was not from any physical or mechanical damage. It was from cerebral damage. It wasn’t his voice-box that was at fault; it was his mind. His cognition was gone. His knowing, understanding, and awareness were gone. He was suddenly like an extremely inebriated person. I don’t know what they put in that cocktail, except that I’m sure it included a nerve agent that caused the tonic spasms that we see in the Z film. What they put in there to decimate and obliterate his mind, I can’t tell you, but it had to be something.  And I can’t be wrong about this because at that point in time, nothing had happened to his brain.  It had to be chemical because it definitely wasn’t anything physical.
