You may be aware that I have a movie coming out on New Year's Day called DOVEY'S PROMISE. It's a true story with a JFK connection; a courtroom drama about the Towpath Murder Trial of 1965 in which the victim was Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was JFK's last mistress. She was murdered in Towpath Park in Georgetown, eleven months after he was.

Her attacker grabbed from behind and grappled with her. Then he took his gun out and shot her in the head. Then, he let her go because he expected her to fall to the ground. But, even though she had a bullet lodged in her brain, she took off and went 24 feet before collapsing. Then, he went and took her by the arms and dragged her back to where it began. And then, he took his gun out again and shot her in the back. And he angled the shot, so that it would hit her aorta. And she died instantly from that.

And it has a parallel to the Oswald assassination because his shot ruptured his aorta too. He didn't die instantly like she did, but by the time he reached the hospital, he was, for all practical purposes, dead. He was about as dead as Kennedy was when he reached the hospital, which was pretty dead.

Oswald was completely exsanguinated. He had lost all his blood. Parkland doctors transfused 6 liters of blood into him. The body only has about 5 liters. So, it was more than a full body supply.

They also starting using hemostats and electrocautery to stop the new blood from bleeding out. And they did succeed in restoring some blood pressure to him. He didn't have any when he arrived. But, then his heart starting failing. He went into cardiac arrest. His heart couldn't pump that new blood because it was already irreversibly damaged from its own lack of blood. They tried massaging his heart. But, after a while, they realized it was futile, and they declared him dead.

But, like Kennedy, Oswald was dead on arrival. Even a chicken will run around with its head cut off for a while, but it's dead. Sometimes a body can still have some manifestations of life, even though it is hopelessly dead and shutting down. It just hasn't turned all the lights out yet, and that was true of both Kennedy and Oswald. Both were DOA.,

So, the bullet severed Oswld's aorta and vena cava, and that meant that he had a fountain of blood spurting inside of him. And the only thing he should have done after being shot that way is collapse.

So, Oswald slapping his left arm to his chest, like King Kong, in the Jackson photo is a contrivance . We see it there, but we don't see it in any of the films. They did that just to cover up the area so that the absence of trauma could be explained. That photo was taken at a photo-shoot an hour before, and there was no shooting.

But, I hope you'll take this as a reminder about DOVEY'S PROMISE because it really is a great courtrooom drama- the best since A FEW GOOD MEN. And, I assure you there is no better way for you to start the new year than by watching this great film. You can watch the trailer here:

 If you are wondering why the phony arm on Leavelle, with his hand in Oswald's pants, and why the phony arm on Oswald being slapped to his chest, with the humongous freako hand, it's all because this was supposed to be taken after the shot. However, there was no shot because it was taken at a photo-shoot before the Garage Spectacle. And since there was no shot, Oswald wasn't traumatized, and neither was his clothing.

So, that meant that they had to cover up the entire area. "Nothing to see here, folks." It's all covered up. So, no blood, no wound, no torn clothing, no nothing. Anything and everything that could possibly have been affected by the shot is covered up.

So, the fact that you don't see the slightest sign of any trauma is because there wasn't any trauma, and they covered up the whole area with arms akimbo.

So, that's how they came up with the idea to have Leavelle with his hand in Oswald's pants. No police officer would ever do that, and no police officer has ever done it. And Oswald certainly wouldn't stand for it. Recall what happened in the Texas Theater when Officer McDonald made a move for Oswald's pants to get his pistol. Oswald slugged him in the nose. Of course, McDonald returned the favor, slugging Oswald in the eye.

But, this weird arrangement at the core of the Jackson photo is due entirely to there being no shot and no trauma and having to cover up the whole area of impact.

 If you watch this NBC footage of the Oswald shooting, you will notice several things, and this is in the order that they occur.  

1. The arm of Jim Leavelle with his hand in Oswald's pants is fake. You can see that it looks ridiculous. His forearm isn't even anatomical; it curves. No one could do that with their forearm. If you tried to reproduce it, you'd find out that it's impossible.

That ain't real, folks. And by the way, I outsmarted them.  NBC made it impossible to do a screen-save, so I just took a picture of it with my cell phone. 

2. The muzzle blast is very weak. For a snub-nosed revolver in a small, confined space with walls on three sides? It could easily cause permanent tinnitus. 

3. There is no muzzle flash. 

4. Considering that it was a contact shot or nearly so, shouldn't Oswald's sweater have been burnt? 

5. Notice that Oswald goes down way too fast. It's like a vacuum the way he falls to the ground. It's like: Whoosh! and he's gone. 

6. The voice of Tom Petit has the wrong affect. He's talking about Oswald being shot with the affect of a baseball anouncer at a slow game. "There's a high fly to right field. Reggie Jackson is underneath it. And that makes it one out."

  Look at this ridiculous Jackson photo. It's supposed to be after the shot. So, a shot just went off in that small, cramped space. It was practically like shooting a gun inside. That's how loud it was. Then Oswald audibly groaned, and he apparently slapped his arm to his chest (not really, but that's what the photo shows).

So, how could Detective Roy Lowery (on the left, next to the wall) still be clasping his hands in front after all that? And he told the Warren Commission that he saw everything, that he saw and recognized Jack Ruby standing there, that he saw the gun, and he saw him make his move. And that all happened before the shot went off. Yet, after the shot, he is still standing there, relaxed, with his hands clasped in front of his body?

Even Will Fritz is reacting. His arms are going up. It's pretty fake looking, but at least it's something. So, why isn't Lowery reacting, both as a cop, and as a human being with a startle reaction? But, there isn't one person in the whole photo exhibiting a startle reaction.

What about the guy on the far right who is supposed to be Detective Blackie Harrison? He's not Harrison. He's actually Leonid Brezhnev. Just kidding of course, but he looks more like Brezhnev than he does Harrison. But, he's supposed to be reaching for the Shooter's gun. While smoking a cigar? And doting on it with a gesture like Groucho Marx?

NBC reporter Tom Petit is on the right in the white trench coat. He's not reacting either. He doesn't look the least bit stressed or startled, even though a shot just happened. Shouldn't he be shocked and stunned?

Jim Leavelle in his Easter suit said the same thing as Lowery, that he saw and recognized Ruby on the side and saw the gun and saw him coming in. He said that he jerked Oswald behind him to protect him, but you can see that Oswald is not behind him. He said that he thumped Ruby on his left shoulder with his right hand, but that was a lie too. He never did that. But, since he saw the Shooter in advance and was aware of what was happening, doesn't it seem like he should have responded by now?

I'll mention just one more guy: the cop in the white hat in the far back. Notice that he seems to be looking directly at us. He's not looking at the action in front of him. He's looking through that at us. The reason he seems to be looking at us is because he was looking at the camera. Our view and the camera's view are one and the same. Therefore, since he was looking directly at the camera, it seems like he is looking at us. But, he was a cop too. He must have heard the shot. So, why isn't he going into action to respond?

This photo is preposterous. It was staged, and I mean before the televised spectacle. And we know how they did it. Just read the testimony of Dr. Fred Bieberdorf. He said that at 9:45, they cleared out the garage. All the reporters and cameramen were told they had to leave. They were told that they could wait in the press room on the 3rd floor. And they didn't let them back into the garage until 10 minutes before the jail transfer. It happened at 11:20, so that would mean 11:10. So, that's an hour and 25 minutes. And what they did during that time was first: grab Ruby. He showed up about 10:20. He sent his money wire at 10:17. That's what he told the Warren Commission. They hustled him up to the 5th floor, and they had to settle him there. I know that two of the detectives who were involved in that were Thomas McMillan and Blackie Harrison. And that's why they had to recruit Leonid to fill in for Blackie in the Jackson photo.

So, while Ruby was being handled on the 5th floor, and it may have taken some convincing to get him to accept that he shot Oswald, the others took their iconic photos in the garage. And the reason they had Leonid smoke a cigar was to cover the lower part of his face. Someone must have thought that there was something weird about his chin area, and that it needed to be covered up for him to pass as Blackie. So, that's the idea they came up with.

Hey, I'm a filmmaker, and I know very well that sometimes, you have to make sudden decisions to cope with unexpected problems. And there are always unexpected problems.

So, here's what I think happened: Blackie was up tending to Ruby when they shot this. Afterwards, they informed him that they had to have Leonid smoke a cigar to cover his chin. Therefore, Blackie had to smoke a cigar. So, even during the melee', he continued smoking his cigar.

You know that in an emergency, with the need to subdue a violent criminal before he kills again, a cop is going to ditch his cigarette or cigar. As he's moving in, with one of his hands, he will dash it to the ground. He's not going to keep smoking at a time like that. But, in this case, they had to tie Blackie to Leonid, so they told him to smoke and keep smoking.

So, who was Leonid? He may have been Jim Hosty. And if so, that would put two FBI agents in the garage: James Bookhout and James Hosty.

This ridiculous photo won the Pulitzer Prize, and that is crazy. It's a farce! I attribute it to the fiat power of the State. Fiat is from the Latin: "to let it be done." Think of Yul Brenner in THE KING AND I: "So let it be written; so let it be done."

 

This is how men's hair looks in back, all but the Garage Shooter, who is wearing a wig. And if he weren't wearing a wig, it would take a long time of primping and designing to get his real hair to look like that. Jack Ruby never did that. Why would he, when he had very little hair? Why would he get artsy about his hairline in back?

And notice that the other guys in the photo had actual necks. Jack Ruby had one too. But, the Garage Shooter was practically neckless. It was like his head was plopped on his shoulders.

There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that guy was Jack Ruby. The deception is over! The Garage Shooting was staged, and they already had Ruby tucked away upstairs on the 5th floor. And several hours later, they coyly inserted him into the story, bringing him down to the 3rd floor to display him to reporters and cameramen. And poor Ruby was so gone mentally from the drugging and the manipulation that he was in a maze and a daze of confusion and helplessness.

People fell for it in 1963, but this is 2025. There's no excuse to fall for it today. They needed Oswald dead because the case against him was such a pack of lies that they couldn't let him see a lawyer- not even once. They had to get him dead before he spoke to a lawyer because that lawyer would have been infused with the knowledge that Oswald was framed and innocent. One short session with him is all it would have taken. They needed to permanently silence Oswald. And they did; law enforcement did. Ruby was just their helpless patsy, whose mental faculties were so weak, and whose pathological respect for authority was so great, that he was helpless to stand up to them.

So, who did it? The leading actors were the Dallas Police. It was their show. And I'm sure it was one of them who put the bullet into Oswald, possibly Officer RC Nelson, who was Tippit's partner, who was there. But, it also invovled the FBI, since James Bookhout, the star of the show, was an FBI agent. It also involved the Secret Service because it was SS Agent Forest Sorrels who minded Ruby up on the 5th floor while the Dallas Police were busy with the spectacle. And, while that was happening , other Secret Service agents were busy rounding up Marina, which they started doing BEFORE Oswald was killed. They finagled her out of Ruth Paine's house on Saturday and had her planted in a motel on the outskirts of Dallas, the Executive Inn, that night. I'm sure they guarded it all night. The next morning, they took possession of her bright and early- before Oswald was shot. She was already in the Secret Service custody when Oswald was shot.

But, the prime-mover behind the whole thing had to be Lyndon Baines Johnson.

It's been 61 years of lies, and it's time for the truth.

 Fritz was in the ridiculous Jail Transfer procession, which had everything but the Pomp and Circumsance music (DAH....dah-dah-dah...Dah-Dah) and then he turns around and nods at the trio of Leavelle, Oswald, and Graves. I've put together this collage in which you can plainly see the nod.

Then, Detective Thomas McMillan also turned around and nodded. Didn't they know that talent isn't supposed to do that, especially when the camera is rolling? It's something that crew does, not the actors. I'm a filmmaker. I know.

 Look at this Willis photo. It was taken right before JFK was shot in the throat. He was already shot in the back with the ice bullet. And he's not waving at the spectators. Why? It's because he was shot in the back, and massive changes were taking place in his body that were disabling. He wasn't the same man. He was completely in the throes of the nerve agent.

But, that's not what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is: WHY AREN'T THE SPECTATORS WAVING AT HIM?

Look at the people beneath the freeway sign. Not one of them is waving at him. What happened to all the excitement of people waving at the President? So, did they have a sense that something was wrong? Maybe, but there is another possibility, which is that those people weren't there.

I have written about the Willis photo before. I pointed out that Umbrella Man's umbrella is too small. It looks more like the size of a Japanese parasol. I don't think it's a legitimate image.

But, let's remember that they could have started shooting JFK much sooner. They could have shot him when he was on Houston Street. So, why didn't they? It's because there were too many people there. They didn't want that many eyes on it. The Kill Zone started at the freeway sign. And they made sure it was only lightly populated down there, so that there would be few eyes on it.

According to Officaldom, nothing has happened to JFK yet in the Willis photo. He hasn't been hit at all yet, according to them. So, why would he have stopped waving? He wouldn't have.

Now, I don't trust that image of JFK in the Willis photo. It doesn't look photographic to me. It may be have been painted, replacing what was there.. But, I know for sure that he wasn't waving. And that's because he had already stopped waviing. He wasn't waving in the Croft photo, which came long before. And he wasn't waving in the Betzner photo either. So, he had long ago stopped waving. And if some of those people were added, they may have avoided putting in wavers because he wasn't waving. They may have thought that it would look odd if there were hands outstretched waving at him, and he wasn't responding. It would highlight that there was something wrong with him. So instead, they gave us the non-waving President and the non-waving spectators, even though, supposedly, nothing has happened yet.

But, there is one more thing that is very significant. Notice that Jackie is turned and looking at her husband. SO, SHE HAS STOPPED WAVING AND INTERACTING WITH SPECTATORS TOO. She knows that something is wrrong with him. He's got a weird look on his face. She described it to the Warren Commission as a "quizzical look."

There isn't anybody waving in the Willis photo. When you put it all together, you realize that something terribly wrong has happened already. And the story that he hasn't been hit yet is a lie.
