I did a test on Oswald Innocence allowing comments briefly to see what would come in. And what came in was the same mindless blather as before.

My critics are idiots. They don't know how to think. Consider what we know as facts:

1) The Secret Service changed JFK's tie, and they did it with foresight. They, themselves, had a replacement tie for him, in the limo., sitting on the front seat for Kellerman to grab. How weird is it for the Secret Service to be sartorial advisor to the President?

2 ) The fact that the Secret Service changed JFK's tie was earnestly, doggedly, and systematically covered up in the hope that it would be expunged from the official story forever. What screwed it for them was Jackie Kennedy having witnessed the tie-change, and having seen her husband put the first tie in his jacket pocket, and having sought it to give it to their Doorman, Preston Bruce. That's what turned it into a human interest story.

So yes, there is an unanswered question about why the Secret Service did it, why they sought to and did replace JFK's tie. But, that dilemma isn't sitting on my shoulders. It's not up to me to explain why they did it.

It stands as an extremely irregular action by the Secret Service, and one they tried to cover up. If there was an innocent reason why they did it, why didn't they just tell the reason, rather than try so hard to cover it up?

There is still a Secret Service today, currently lead by Sean Curran. So, he should address why his forebearers changed JFK's tie 63 years ago right before this happened:

Again: you can't say it was because of a soiling or stain because there is no evidence of that, and it would have been dealt with differently if it were just that. His tie would have been replaced on the plane, or even prior to that. So, don't try to say it.

 Now I have an image of Kellerman with the tie, where you can see the tie in his hands. It's from another rendering of the Love Field footage that I found that's a little clearer.

So, on the left, it shows Kellerman reaching into the front seat for the tie. And on the right, he is looking down at the tie and stretching it between his two hands. THAT OBJECT IN HIS HANDS IS THE TIE. You see his two hands. You see there is a linear object between his two hands. It is the tie.

Nobody has ever found this or shown it before, and it is just 11 days from the 63rd anniversary of JFK's killing. WHAT POSSIBLE REASON DID KELLERMAN HAVE TO WANT JFK TO CHANGE HIS TIE? Let's face it: the ONLY reason that you can think of, in your wildest imagination, is a sanitary problem. It could not have been its style, pattern, or color. And there's nothing you can think of relating to safety.

Why is it that in the few references to JFK changing his tie shortly before the motorcade left, not one of them says a word about why a tie change was necessary or indicated?

And I categorically reject as nonsense the notion that it was a stain on the tie. It's not as though he could have gotten a stain on the tie between deboarding the plane and boarding the limo. If he had spilled coffee on his tie at the breakfast in Ft. Worth, surely it would have been noticed before he left the plane, and I'm sure he had plenty of spare ties there. Why should the correction of a sanitary problem wait until he's at the limo?

I don't know what Kellerman told Kennedy about why he needed to change his tie, but I do know that Kennedy was extremely submissive to his Secret Service agents. He didn't question anything they told him to do.

No innocent reason for the tie change is even conceivable. It must have been related to the coming throat shot and the fear that the tie knot, being so close to the target area, which was the bottom of his throat, would interfere with the passage of the flechette.

 The White House Historical Association report that JFK changed his tie on the tarmac of Love Field before the motorcade commenced, and that he put the first tie in his jacket pocket, and that Jackie later gave that tie to their Doorman, Preston Bruce, is an outlier. It is a black swan.

No government investigation reported it, and neither did any famous JFK writer, whether in support of the official story or in opposing it.

I asked Chat GPT to search the internet in search of any book references to the tie swap, and it came up with just one; Kate Bower's THE RESIDENCE: INSIDE THE PRIVATE WORLD OF THE WHITE HOUSE, published 2015 by Harper. It was a huge success. It made the NY Times Bestseller list, and Netflix made it into a series.

There are two references to it in the book, and here they are:

"JFK had switched ties just before getting into the motorcade, and had the old one in his jacket pocket when he was shot."

And then this one:

"Jacqueline Kennedy gave Preston Bruce the tie JFK had worn on the flight to Dallas, telling him, "The president would have wanted you to have this."

But, how did the tie change surface at all, considering how concerted the effort was, is, and has always been to bury it? It simply is not supposed to be part of the story.

I think it was because of Jackie Kennedy. I think it's likely that she requested the other tie back. She had to know about it. Why? Because she was sitting there right next to JFK when Roy Kellerman stuck his head in the car and whispered something to JFK, as he gave him the second tie. Then, she saw her husband take off the first tie, put on the second one, and then put the first one in his jacket pocket. So, she knew it was there. And we know she did something with it: giving it to their doorman Preston Bruce.

But, I tell you that I wish she had been a smarter woman because when she saw afterwards that the tie change became no part of the story, she should have gotten suspicious. The man was asked to change his tie, and not by his valet, but by the Secret Service.

We have a photo of him in the first tie on Love Field before he boarded the limo.

It certainly does not appear to have a stain on it. And if you are going to suggest there was one, even though we can't see it, why assume that the SS would see it? They have their minds on a lot of things, but stains aren't one of them. There really is no innocent explanation for why they wanted JFK to change his tie.

And not a word about it by the WC, the HSCA, the ARRB, or any other arm of government. Do you realize what this means? It means that in the last few days, we have uncovered a very important element of the JFK assassination that was scrupulously and tenaciously suppressed. It is a new JFK discovery, and certainly one of the biggest of 21st century. And it happened right here on this blog.

 Someone asked me about Elisabeth Joy, the star of my upcoming film, AN AGENT IN PLACE, so, I sent him this scene from DOVEY'S PROMISE. I consider it cinematic perfection, but see what you think.

It's a true story. Mary Pinchot Meyer was JFK's last mistress, and she was probably his closest friend and confidante in the world. And there's no doubt that they envisioned having a life together someday. She was brutally murdered in Georgetown 11 months after he was brutally murdered in Dallas, and that is what DOVEY'S PROMISE is about. Playing JFK is Chris Phipps.

 I am now providing the link to the Love Field footage that shows Kellerman following JFK to the limo. As JFK gets into the limo, Kellerman goes to the front seat and leans in and gets something. Then, he goes back alongide Kennedy, who is seated, and leans in and turns his head to the left to talk to Kennedy. Then Kellerman stands and waits about 10 seconds before boarding the limo himself.

Then, the limo starts moving, but you don't see JFK right away. He has to move into view. But, before he does, there is splice that jumps to a closeup of him and Jackie from another camera. It jumps back and forth between the wide angle and the close-up, such that his handling of the tie is never shown. There's no doubt that it happened because the White House Historical Association said it did. And remember, there is the whole story about Jackie giving the Ft. Worth tie to their doorman, Preston Bruce.

So, here is the link. You can start at 23:50. It's at 24 minutes that Kellerman is waiting for JFK to put the tie on that there is a little flutter of motion that is most likely Kennedy's hands manipulating the tie.

 Now, I will tell you why the Secret Service wanted to replace JFK's tie. THAT his tie was replaced cannot be challenged because it is in the offical record of the White House Historical Association, as described below.

That description by Google AI is wrong about one thing. It said he removed the first tie before entering the limo, but that is not true. He entered the limo first and sat down, and then he was handed the new tie, and he put it on. WE HAVE THE FOOTAGE FROM LOVE FIELD!

But, there was much they omitted. They did not say why his tie was replaced. They did not say who prompted him to replace it. And they did not not say where the new tie came from.

However, we can deduct those answers. JFK could not have instigated it himself because his mind was not on his tie. His image staff could not have instigated it because they weren't there. His valet George Thomas didn't even go to Texas. At the time and place the tie-change happened, the only ones attending JFK were his Secret Service agents. And therefore, the source of the new tie must have been them.

Then, there is what I showed you from the Love Field footage of Roy Kellerman following JFK around like his shadow and then going to the front seat of the car to get something. And then, as he was about to engage very closely with JFK, they turned him into someone else.

It was a very sudden change to Kellerman, where over a few seconds, his long neck was gone, and his hair got darker. These below are supposed to be the same him, but as you can see, on the right, he got a makeover. THEY DID NOT WANT KELLERMAN TO BE LINKED TO THE TIE-CHANGING, SO THEY BRIEFLY TURNED HIM INTO SOMEONE ELSE.

So, we have the WHHA saying that it happened right before the limo took off, and we have footage showing the ROY KELLERMAN WAS IN JFK'S FACE RIGHT BEFORE THE LIMO TOOK OFF.

Since Kellerman was in the center of that time and space, he must have been involved in the tie-changing.

So, with that established, why then did the Secret Service want to replace JFK's tie?

I should first point out that I have previously made my case why I believe the Secret Service was involved in killing Kennedy. I have pointed to things like Greer slowing and stopping the limo when it was under attack and waiting until JFK took the fatal head shot before finally flooring it to get out of there. I have also pointed to Kellerman doing absolutely nothing even when he knew the President was under attack. He did call Agent Winston Lawson in the lead car, telling him "we've been hit" and to "lead the way to the hospital," but that made no sense because the only concern during the attack is to get out of harm's way. Going to the hospital is secondary. You don't do that until after you have successfully vacated the attack area.

There were quite a few other things I cited for believing that the Secret Service, like the CIA and the FBI, were in on killing Kennedy.

Two very unlikely and unusual things happened one after the other. The first was JFK changing into a second tie, which I have never done in my life, and I'm 75 years old. The second is that the new tie went on to get hit by a bullet, or at least, by a projectile. Maybe the juxtaposition of those two unlikely events wasn't an accident. Maybe there was a logical and intentional connection between the two.

So, how could the SS changing JFK's tie have supported their intention of killing him?

First, the WC said that the nicking of his tie occurred when the bullet was exiting his throat. I tell you that no bullet exited his throat. What happened to him was that he was struck in the back with a non-bullet, an ice dart, that burst upon entry and was gone. Then, knowing that a bullet-less, shallow entry wound was going to be found in his back, they sought to make a bullet-less, shallow wound in his throat, so that they could then claim that a bullet traversed him. That is what they did.

So, the SS, knowing that JFK was going to be shot in the throat, from the front, why would his tie make any difference? There are several possible reasons I can think of. The first is that there was something very different about the second tie, which was that the knot was very skinny. It was not the standard 4-in-hand tie knot, which is the classic way that ties are tied, which creates the firm, dense, neat, triangular tie knot. The tie knot on Kennedy during the motorcade was unusually skinny. Long and skinny. It did not look like a normal knot. It looked more like a worm.

So, the first tie had a neat, tight, dense, triangular tie knot, and the second tie had a long, unusual, tubular tie knot. 

I am going to give you an image to show you this another way. But first, realize that even though the WHHA confirmed the tie change, the reality is that the tie change has been largely covered up. The WHHA thing is an outlier; it is something that fell through the cracks. You could say we got lucky. It is not part of the tsunami of story-telling that followed the assassination and continues to this day. Take a look at JFK when he deboarded the plane. He was still wearing his Ft. Worth tie, which had the proper triangular knot, but somebody put a black bar through the knot to make it look skinny and narrow. This is from the Love Field footage, and it is totally artificial. They did it because the second tie, which he would soon put on, would be narrow and skinny. Of course, it wasn't as narrow and skinny as this below, but it was in that direction.

They did that. It is not natural photography. It is an added bar.

I can see how a firm, tight, triangular tie knot might interfere with the trajectory of a bullet. Maybe it could deflect it a little. So, maybe they wanted a smaller, lighter, less dense tie knot, so that it would be less likely to interfere with the missile coming in at his throat.

Second, what if the second tie was a much lighter material? That might help too, to keep it from interfering.

Third, if you look at WC Exhibit 175, which is the tie, it does look short, narrow, and light, which meant less knot fabric to obstruct the missile.

Four, maybe the knot being flatter would help lessen interference. 

Five, maybe the knot sat a little lower, leaving more of the throat exposed.

Six, I presume the replacement knot was pre-knotted, that JFK slipped it over his head. Men tie their knots in front of a mirror, which JFK didn't have at hand. Plus, it takes time to tie a knot. So, I presume Kellerman gave him a pre-knotted tie. And they surely had it pre-knotted exactly the way they wanted. 

There may be other reasons, but I think the point is made that the changing of the tie was a Secret Service thing to support the operation of killing him. 

 So, the WHHA admitted that no reason was ever given for the tie change. But, since it happened at the limo shortly before it left, who could have initiated the change? It could not have been JFK himself because his mind wasn't on his tie. And it could not be his valet staff. He had one, but they weren't with him at that time. There is really only one entity that could have done it, and it's the Secret Service. They are the only ones who were with him and had access to him. Do you know that Kellerman was tailing JFK like his shadow at Love Field? Here, JFK is getting into the limo, and Kellerman is right behind him. This is the time and place the WHHA said the tie switch happened. 

Then, as JFK gets in, Kellerman turns right to go to the front seat to get something. 

Then, as JFK gets in, Kellerman turns right to go to the front seat.

Then, as JFK gets in, Kellerman turns right to go to the front seat.

Then, Kellerman distinctly reaches for something in the front seat.

Then, JFK got in and Kellerman leaned into the limo and practically kissed him.

 

So, Kennedy is sitting upright, and Kellerman is bent over with his head turned left. He is right in JFK's face. Why?I think it's because he wanted to whisper, perhaps saying: "Sir, it was noticed that you have a stain on your tie. We have a very nice spare for you. Would you like to put it on?"  Of course, Kennedy said yes. And Kellerman gave it to him and then stood there as he put it on. 

We have it, officially, that the tie-swap happened there and then. So, how could Kellerman not be involved? I don't know how anyone can brush this off.
