FTR#1272 This pro­gram was record­ed in one, 60-minute seg­ment.

Cor­rec­tion: Mr. Emory misiden­ti­fied jour­nal­ist Ander­son Coop­er as the son of Cok­ie Roberts. He is the son of the late socialite Glo­ria Van­der­bilt.

Intro­duc­tion: This broad­cast con­tin­ues our vis­its with Jim DiEugenio–author of Des­tiny Betrayed and JFK Revis­it­ed–select­ed by Oliv­er Stone to write the screen­play for his lat­est doc­u­men­tary.

Express­ing a sen­ti­ment that appears to have been shared by many in the gov­ern­ment, Secret Ser­vice agent Elmer Moore brand­ed JFK a “trai­tor” in a con­ver­sa­tion with Jim Gochenaur:

JFK Revis­it­ed: Through the Look­ing Glass by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Sky­horse Pub­lish­ing [HC]; Copy­right 2022 by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Intro­duc­tion Copy­right 2022 by Oliv­er Stone; ISBN 978–1‑5107–7287‑8; p. 205.

. . . . Jim Gochenaur: Moore leaned back in his big com­fort­able leather chair and he said, “Who killed Jack Kennedy?” Then he said, “Well, I’ll tell you who didn’t. With 100 per­cent cer­tain­ty. It wasn’t the Rus­sians.” And my head is start­ing to swim, I want­ed to break in right at that point. But then he said, “I’ll tell you why—JFK was the Rus­sians’ boy. He was giv­ing away every­thing he could. That man, for all intents and pur­pos­es, dare I say it? Jim, I will say it. JFK was a trai­tor.”

The bizarre saga of the con­vo­lut­ed jour­ney of the “Mag­ic Bul­let” (CE399) is framed by Park­land Hos­pi­tal O.P. Wright’s wid­ow, who stat­ed that “more than one nurse” had found bul­lets on stretch­ers at the hos­pi­tal on the day Kennedy was shot.

. . . . [Josi­ah] Thomp­son gave an impor­tant speech at the 2003 Duquesne Uni­ver­si­ty JFK Assas­si­na­tion Con­fer­ence. He revealed that, in a 1993 inter­view, O.P. Wright’s widow—who also worked at Park­land Hospital—said that more than one nurse had approached her I the twen­ty-four hours after the assas­si­na­tion because they had found bul­lets on gur­neys. . . .

Addi­tion­al Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: The lack of iden­ti­fi­able fin­ger­prints on the rifle alleged­ly used by Oswald to kill JFK; For­mer police offi­cer and Park­land Hos­pi­tal secu­ri­ty offi­cial O.D. Wright’s claim that the bul­let he found on a stretch­er at Park­land had a point­ed tip, unlike CE399; War­ren Com­mis­sion mem­bers’ dis­sent from the offi­cial ver­sion of the assas­si­na­tion; The fact that the FBI’s and CIA’s analy­sis of the shoot­ing dif­fered from the War­ren Com­mis­sion’s the­sis; The test fir­ings of bul­lets into skulls from behind that pro­duced results anti­thet­i­cal to the War­ren Com­mis­sion’s the­sis; The dis­cov­ery of skull frag­ments in both Dealey Plaza on 11/22/1963 and in the lim­ou­sine; Dis­cov­ery of a bul­let with a bent tip in JFK’s lim­ou­sine; Admi­ral George Burkley (JFK’s per­son­al physi­cian) and his con­tra­ven­tion of the War­ren Com­mis­sion’s the­sis; Cov­er-up of Burkley’s analy­sis by the War­ren Com­mis­sion; Burkley’s fam­i­ly’s accounts of Burkley’s dis­agree­ment with the offi­cial ver­sion of the assas­si­na­tion; the curious–and ominous–reversal by Burkley’s daugh­ter on her ini­tial agree­ment to coop­er­ate with inde­pen­dent inves­ti­ga­tors.

1a. Express­ing a sen­ti­ment that appears to have been shared by many in the gov­ern­ment, Secret Ser­vice agent Elmer Moore brand­ed JFK a “trai­tor” in a con­ver­sa­tion with Jim Gochenaur:

JFK Revis­it­ed: Through the Look­ing Glass by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Sky­horse Pub­lish­ing [HC]; Copy­right 2022 by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Intro­duc­tion Copy­right 2022 by Oliv­er Stone; ISBN 978–1‑5107–7287‑8; p. 205.

. . . . Jim Gochenaur: Moore leaned back in his big com­fort­able leather chair and he said, “Who killed Jack Kennedy?” Then he said, “Well, I’ll tell you who didn’t. With 100 per­cent cer­tain­ty. It wasn’t the Rus­sians.” And my head is start­ing to swim, I want­ed to break in right at that point. But then he said, “I’ll tell you why—JFK was the Rus­sians’ boy. He was giv­ing away every­thing he could. That man, for all intents and pur­pos­es, dare I say it? Jim, I will say it. JFK was a trai­tor.”

1b. The bizarre saga of the con­vo­lut­ed jour­ney of the “Mag­ic Bul­let” (CE399) is framed by Park­land Hos­pi­tal O.P. Wright’s wid­ow, who stat­ed that “more than one nurse” had found bul­lets on stretch­ers at the hos­pi­tal on the day Kennedy was shot.

. . . . [Josi­ah] Thomp­son gave an impor­tant speech at the 2003 Duquesne Uni­ver­si­ty JFK Assas­si­na­tion Con­fer­ence. He revealed that, in a 1993 inter­view, O.P. Wright’s widow—who also worked at Park­land Hospital—said that more than one nurse had approached her I the twen­ty-four hours after the assas­si­na­tion because they had found bul­lets on gur­neys. . . .

2.  When the rifle alleged­ly owned and used by Oswald in the assas­si­na­tion was test­ed for fin­ger­prints by FBI print expert Sebas­t­ian Latona, no usable fin­ger prints were found on the rifle.

3. Park­land Hos­pi­tal secu­ri­ty man O.D. Wright says he found a point­ed bul­let on a stretch­er, NOT the round-tipped, cop­per-jack­et­ed round that became CE399. Wright had police back­ground and was famil­iar with firearms ammu­ni­tion.

4. Some War­ren Com­mis­sion­ers dis­sent­ed from the offi­cial ver­sion pre­sent­ed to the pub­lic, includ­ing Sen­a­tor Richard Rus­sell of Geor­gia. Rus­sell didn’t like the FBI/Warren inter­ac­tion and didn’t agree with sin­gle bul­let the­o­ry. JFK Revis­it­ed fea­tures a clip of LBJ dis­agree­ing with Sin­gle Bul­let The­o­ry, while con­cur­ring with Rus­sell. Rus­sell mis­tak­en­ly thought there was a tran­script of the War­ren Commission’s final session—there was no tran­script. Sen­a­tor John Sher­man Coop­er of Ken­tucky didn’t agree with the War­ren Com­mis­sion the­sis either. 

 5. The FBI’s analy­sis CIA analy­sis dif­fered from the War­ren Commission’s analy­sis. The CIA’s analy­sis dif­fered as well—they were ini­tial­ly of the opin­ion that there were two shoot­ers, fir­ing from dif­fer­ent direc­tions.

6. Skulls were shot with Mannlich­er Car­cano rounds–all shat­tered in the front when shot from the back, con­tra­dict­ing the offi­cial ver­sion of the assas­si­na­tion. 

7.  Next, we dis­cuss the issue of skull frag­ments: On 11/23/1963, what became known as “the Harp­er frag­ment” was found in Dealey Plaza. Dr. Burkley (an Admi­ral in the Navy and JFK’s per­son­al physi­cian) req­ui­si­tioned James Young to dis­patch Thomas Mills and William Mar­tinell to retrieve skull frag­ment found in lim­ou­sine. Mills also dis­cov­ered a bul­let with a bent tip in the lim­ou­sine. The bul­let dis­ap­pears. Thomas Mills, when asked about it: “I’d rather not talk about that.”

 8. Dr. Burkley signed a death cer­tifi­cate that con­tra­dict­ed the War­ren Commission’s the­sis: that doc­u­ment was not includ­ed in the Commission’s files. The House Select Com­mit­tee on Assas­si­na­tions did not fol­low up on Burkley’s state­ment that he knew there was a con­spir­a­cy behind JFK’s death and that mul­ti­ple shoot­ers were involved.

Burkley’s son said that his father had told his fam­i­ly  that the War­ren Commission’s the­sis was fun­da­men­tal­ly wrong and that there were mul­ti­ple shoot­ers.

When his daugh­ter was approached to glean infor­ma­tion from legal files that would have but­tressed what her father had said, she was ini­tial­ly coop­er­a­tive and then absolute­ly refused to par­tic­i­pate in any way.
