The JFK shooting seen from 2019

A page on the JFK shooting

 

This page largely but not completely obsoleted by The JFK shooting seen from 2022

 

I am, and have always been, a fan of Howard Donahue and his reconstruction of the JFK assassination. See The Howard Donahue theory on the JFK assassination.

 

And it will not go away. If it is correct, it reveals a shocking flaw in the US system. A gross lack of accountability on the part of those in power to the people whom they supposedly represent.

 

And the first step in fixing this, or at least in improving the accountability, is to set the record straight.

 

A recent article, Hidden in Plain Sight, by Bonar Menninger, author of the book Mortal Error which remains the definitive work on Donahue's investigation, is the latest contribution to doing just that. It reveals new evidence that fully supports Donahue, and is well worth a read, as still is the original book.

 

(But on the other hand the recent work of Colin McLaren is a pale shadow of Menninger's book and Donahue's research. McLaren supports, and based his work JFK: The Smoking Gun, on Donahue's research and conclusions. And it's good to see the interest, but if you think as some do that the gaps in McLaren's work are a reason to dismiss that of Donahue, think again, and please read the book before criticising it. See The SMH vs Donahue.)

 

I have just one thing to add. There is and long a has been persuasive evidence that those organising both the Warren Commission and the Select Committee on Assassinations had, as part of their agenda and one of their objectives, to obscure the role of George Hickey.

 

The Warren Commission conducted a reenactment of the shooting on May 24, 1964, using as far as possible the same people who had been actually involved... except Hickey. He drove the followup car in the reenactment, taking the role that agent Kinney had on the day. At the time of the shooting, he had been standing in the back of the car, and immediately afterwards he was photographed there, holding the AR-15. Why was his role changed in the reenactment?

 

One of the other agents, who was also part of the reenactment, testified that he first thought that Hickey had returned fire but later decided that he was mistaken. Doesn't that make his position at the time of this shot, particularly relative to that of Hickey, extremely important? Of course it does!

 

Later, the Select Committee commissioned an interviewer named Rose to interview all the agents involved... except Hickey. Rose traveled all over the country to conduct these interviews. He was later asked by Donahue why Hickey was excluded, when he had been "right here in Washington". His lame response is documented in Mortal Error

 

If this was the only evidence implicating Hickey, it would still be worth following up. Taken together with a growing body of evidence supporting Donahue's conclusions, including now (finally) an assessment by independent ballistics experts, it is persuasive in my opinion.

 

My theories on how the conspiracies after and possibly before the shooting appear to have worked may or may not stand up to further scrutiny. See The Alder theory on the JFK assassination for those.

 

But Donahue's conclusions seem to be, pun intended, bulletproof.
