3. What is the basic
difference between
fiction and
nonfiction?

4. The Kennedy Assassination
• On November 22, 1963, while on a campaign swing through Texas, the president
was shot dead by a twenty-four-year-old ex-marine drifter named Lee Harvey
Oswald. … Kennedy’s death was the isolated act of a single individual, the
commission concluded. --America Interpreted by Woods and Gatewood, p. 957-
959
• Then, on November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot down as his presidential
motorcade moved through Dallas, Texas. Police quickly arrested Lee Harvey Oswald
as the alleged assassin. Oswald had ties to the Marcello crime family, had once lived
in the Soviet Union, and had a bizarre set of political affiliations, especially with
groups interested in Cuba. Oswald declared his innocence, but he was never
brought to trial. Instead, Oswald himself was killed, while in the custody of the
Dallas police, by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner who also had links to powerful crime
figures. --Liberty, Equality, Power: A History of the American People by Murrin,
Johnson, McPherson, Gerstle, Rosenberg, Rosenberg, p. 990
• Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, an act that
shocked and saddened the entire world. –The American Profile by Borden and
Graham, p. 364

5. This is a work of fiction But so is much of this

6. The Zapruder Film

7. Who?
What?
When?
Where?
How?
What if?

11. • The conclusion of the United
States House of Representatives
Select Committee on
Assassinations determined that
there was every reason to
believe that John F. Kennedy died
as the result of a conspiracy and
that there was reason to believe
there was more than one
shooter.
• But what they nor
anyone else has ever
done is prove
conclusively that Lee
Harvey Oswald ever fired
a shot at the President.

14. It was here that I was haunted by the
statement of Oswald
“I’m just a patsy!”
• What if he was a patsy?
• He never received a trial.
• Why are there still over 28,000 documents
related to the assassination being withheld
while “national security” issues are
determined

15. Then I saw this!

16. Curry plants just
enough seeds of doubt
to make a researcher
want to dig further.
No one was closer to
the investigation in
Dallas than Curry.

17. Building on primary source materials we
began to fill in the “what if” blanks.

Nest

19. Another Studebaker Picture from crime scene

20. What we created is an historical fiction book that has
perhaps more truth than the Warren Report.
An excerpt from chapter 9 page 68

21. What we have Learned
• We have learned without a doubt that the Warren Commission did not even pay
attention to its own witnesses:
1. Governor Connolly said he heard the first shot “one never hears the shot that
hits you.” Look at the Altgens picture

22. What we have Learned
• We have learned without a doubt that the Warren Commission did not even pay
attention to its own witnesses:
1. Governor Connolly said he heard the first shot “one never hears the shot that
hits you.” Look at the Altgens picture

23. What we have Learned
• We have learned without a doubt that the Warren Commission did not even pay
attention to its own witnesses:
1. Governor Connolly said he heard the first shot “one never hears the shot that
hits you.” Look at the Altgens picture
2. The Warren Report stated that the first shot missed, the second hit Kennedy
in the back, exited his throat, hit Connolly causing five different wounds and
fell out on a stretcher at Parkland Hospital. The third shot was the fatal head
shop according to the Warren Report. They reported that all three shots
came from Oswald’s Carcano from the sixth floor TSBD window.

25. And the Government wants us to believe that this bullet caused six different
wounds in two different men, when...

26. These bullet fragments
were taken from the wrist
of governor Connolly and
other fragments were left
in his body.
How did a near pristine
bullet manage to do that
much damage and leave
behind more fragments
than are actually missing
from the bullet?
The Miracle Bullet

27. Warning!
Autopsy Picture Coming
Next

28. This is the drawing in the
Warren Report that was
made from the autopsy
photos. It alleges an entry
point and a “blow out on
the right
temporal/parietal lobe”.
The Parkland doctors and
nurses all disputed this.

34. A Carcano Bullet is meant to go
through its target not explode.
Yet the bullet that hit the President
in the head exploded into numerous
pieces.

37. What About Oswald
Memorandum written by CIA Director John McCone to James
Rowley, Chief of Secret Service
What about Mexico

38. Taken outside the Soviet
Embassy in Mexico City
in October, 1963, the
government reported
this to be Oswald. He
was attempting to get a
visa to Cuba.

39. Yet they knew it wasn’t

41. In his questioning by
Lieutenant Fritz, Oswald
denied he had ever been
to Mexico City.

42. What About Oswald
Memorandum written by CIA Director John McCone to James
Rowley, Chief of Secret Service
What about Mexico
Call in jail, two placed- one to an intelligence operative in
North Carolina, the second to a lawyer in New York City
Where was Oswald at the time of the Assassination?
Oswald and Jack Ruby
Oswald and the Intelligence Community in New Orleans
Closest witnesses to President and to alleged sniper’s nest
These are facts, not myths

43. And then there is this!

44. For decades experts have said that
the throat wound was a wound of
entrance. All six doctors at
Parkland testified that the
President had sustained a throat
wound that was consistent with a
wound of entrance.

45. Now we have PROOF!!!

46. Chief Curry and Secret Service Chief Forrest
Sorrels were riding in the car in front of the
President.
Both testified that their car was at the
steps of the grassy knoll when they heard
the first shots (recognized as rifle shots)
and they both looked up to the picket
fence from which they both believed the
shots were fired.

47. We may
never know
exactly what
happened
here, what I
do know is
the Warren
Commission
got it wrong!

48. Thank You
