Originally published at: JFK SECRET SERVICEMAN BREAKS SILENCE
B.W. shared this article, and I am grateful for it because we’re fast approaching the 60th anniversary of the sad murder of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. It’s a tragic anniversary, because in a certain way - and as I’ve argued and stated in many interviews - the country…

Being a bit more than 2 months past my 14th year of being born the day JFK was murdered is one I also vividly remember. Just to add a little bit more to the mix I observed diametrically opposite emotions from the ‘grown-ups’ within my extended family. Some felt deep sadness, and some felt a righteous vindication. A time of High Strangeness for certain, and as many will agree, ‘things’ have only worsened since those days.

Aprapos of maybe not that much but this morning in Utah is as crystal clear and gorgeous as that day twenty-something years ago in New Jersey. I watched the first tower come down from maybe ten miles away and my one takeaway is that thing came down so fast it appeared to all but vanish, leaving a puff of smoke in its place. It was astonishing.

I think I mentioned this in a vid chat. When my Father-In-Law was a young intern at Parkland Hospital, his mentor took him aside and told him that not only was an autopsy performed in Parkland (as required by Texas Law) but that he had been one of the doctors who performed it. He said the bullet came from the opposite direction of the official story and that he had no idea why another autopsy
done in DC or why they lied about the results. But he said the government “ordered” the doctors at Parkland not to talk about the one they had done and pretend it never happened.
But of course, at least one of them did talk to my father-in-law, who had absolutely no reason to make this up, and worked for the VA as a doctor most of his life (and a hospital administrator). I suspect he thought his mentor wanted him to know that sometimes the government may interfere with a diagnosis and also that any doctor can suddenly find themselves in the middle of a historical event. I also think his mentor hoped the truth would come out eventually.
MY FIL is now confined to a wheel chair and can’t see well enough to do e-mail so I can’t ask him about this. My husband is the one who told me about it, so while the information is third hand; I have known for over two decades that the official story was bunk. Even if for just this reason alone.

Wow! Maybe you should share this with Dark Journalist as well?

I will think about this. My FIL isn’t really up for visitors, and I’m not sure he knows that his son told me about this. I had to think about this due to my Father in Law’s health condition, and I don’t think my SIL, who handles his affairs, would allow an interview. But I may copy the post here and send it to DJ with those caveats.

Hmmm… one should be able to research the existence of all young interns at Parkland Hospital at the time and make a list of their names then deduce who were the most likely doctors to be his mentor… Don’t you think?
I could claim that my great uncle Tony has information that would reveal the truth of November 22,1963.
Sorry, the guy who at this point in time “reveals” he found a bullet(he will probably sell a lot of books), the poster who made claims of her FIL… more importantly who was his MENTOR.
I don’t buy any of it!
My FIL is one of the most honest people on the planet. The identification factor is one reason I have not written DJ. My FIL was rather famous in his field. I even once looked up to see him on the network evening news in an interview. He would be relatively easy to find (about five seconds). And even just a few years ago (like less than ten), when my Mother was in a nursing home and they were giving me a song and dance about how they might throw her in the street. A letter granting permission for them to discuss her medical care with my FIL was enough to turn the director’s face white and start sipering like a groupie.
Now, could his mentor have lied to him? Possibly, but why? He hadn’t written a book. He never mentioned it again that I know of and the man didn’t get anything out of it. My FIL doesn’t know his son told me the story, and honestly, I didn’t think about it for years. I thought it was an open secret. The original story was a joke. I didn’t have a lot of interest until I started listening to DJ (and later Joseph), and I only discussed this with my late husband. I have since posted this information a few places, but I have only the third-hand story.
Oh and my FIL came out of semi-retirement and started seeing veterans from his wheelchair in his 80s a few years ago. When the system was near collapse and they were not getting to see a doctor. Considering he had been the director of the VA hospital, I thought that was pretty amazing. But then he does have (I think) The Presidential Medal of Freedom (or he was a Point of Light, I was never sure, but I’m pretty sure it was the first).
Yep, he’s easy to identify, and again, I am not sure how sharp he still is as we haven’t talked in almost a year now - he’s been too ill to do skype or e-mail.
