JFK: The Assassination, the Cover-Up, and Beyond

JFK: The Assassination,
the Cover-Up, and Beyond

Recent work on the assassination has been summarized in a 7-part lecture series, "JFK: The Assassination, the Cover-Up, and Beyond", which runs 4:25.20. This video provides an historical and analytical investigation of the assassination of JFK, of the cover-up and its ramifications for American history. It reports the results of research by a group including an M.D. who is a world authority on the human brain and also an expert on wound ballistics, a Ph.D. in physics who is also an M.D. and expert at the interpretation of of X-rays, and a former officer in the U.S. Marine Corps who is a Ph.D. in philosophy and an expert on critical thinking, who presents the series.

Among the most important new findings that emerge from their work:

that autopsy X-rays of JFK's cranium were fabricated to conceal a massive blow-out to the back of his head
that the so-called "magic bullet" theory cannot possibly be true
that diagrams and photographs of a brain in the National Archives must be of some brain other than that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy
that Jack was hit at least four times--once in the throat (from in front), once in the back (from behind), and twice in the head (once from behind and once from in front)
that at least six bullets were fired in Dealey Plaza during the assassination
that the Secret Service substituted a nicked windshield for the original, which had a through-and-through bullet hole
and much more, including at least fifteen indications of Secret Service complicity in the assassination.

James H. Fetzer received his A.B. in philosophy magna cum laude from Princeton and his Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from Indiana University. A former commissioned officer in the Marine Corps, he has published sixteen books and more than one hundred articles and reviews. He is currently McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota and teaches on its Duluth campus. He is the editor of Assassination Science: Experts Speak Out on the Death of JFK, which will be available from Open Court of Chicago in October. Watch for it!
