I’ve been following the posts of the Manhattan Contrarian (here, here, and here) with a feeling of need for forbearance. MC might knowingly be advancing the hoax, but I am keeping the faith that he is the real deal. He could be playing to the galleries, as people love a good mystery, and the JFK assassination is one of the best of all time. It’s got all the elements of skullduggery and hidden villains, and so much misdirection strewn about that an average person of curiosity can’t help but apply intelligence to the matter, coming to rest on one or another of the bogus “theories” involved.
I’ve dropped a few comments there, among the hundreds now, and offer the following as an introduction to misdirection, how it is done:
It will always stand as outright contradiction that the powerful Kennedy family could not stop 1980 publication of the Davis S. Lifton book Best Evidence, which contained in it gruesome morgue photographs of JFK’s corpse. Could they have stopped at least the photos? Of course they could have. Why did they not?
The photos were fake, masterful darkroom creations with JFK’s face superimposed on someone else’s head, some of the most important and sophisticated photo fakery ever done since invention of the camera. Why would the Kennedy’s allow them to be published? Because it drove home the idea of a brutal assassination that did not happen for real.
How do I know this? You can’t possibly just trust me. I have preserved my work, but I ask something better of you: Reproduce the work, prove me wrong. That’s how science is done.
I’d like to go back to the beginning here. I read the Lifton book more than a decade after it was published, and thought it the best exposition to that time of the mysteries, not solutions, surrounding the assassination. Keep in mind that I believed that JFK was gunned down, and was in a state a perpetual grief, as he was so dynamic, so energizing to the American population. Just the idea that kids my age were walking fifty miles (I never did) was testimony to the good he was doing.
_____________________________________________________________

My mother never cared for JFK. The night of his death, age 13, I cried myself to sleep. Mom did not help things when she said the following morning “Well, we’ve got a better president today than yesterday.” I think it must have been the rumored philandering, and “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” that turned her against him.
Moving forward, later came the Zapruder film (JFK blown away!), and the Warren Commission and all of its deliberate misdirection and nonsense. I read Mark Lane’s Rush to Judgment while still in high school (class of 68 and one of the few books I read while in high school). Around 2014 or so, I read a book by (or about) a mobster, Carlos Marcello, who claimed to have inside knowledge. By that time I had read Camelot: The Hidden King; Camelot Ruled from the Cave of Merlin, by Miles W. Mathis. He openly posted his email address, so I emailed him concerning the mobster book, and he answered, saying that it was no more trustworthy than any other book on the subject, that liars lie.
The Mathis paper is skillfully written and beautifully reasoned. It was there that I learned a simple and compelling explanation about why a man was spinning an umbrella in Dealey Plaza that day. They, the people behind the stage, were making a movie, and the umbrella spin meant “…and … action!” People have tried to figure that out for decades. Could it really be that simple? Yes, it was that simple.
Of course, I was not convinced, but I slowly came around, and realized that Mr. Mathis had set me free. JFK did not die that day. No more hand wringing! Why they staged the assassination was a mystery. Mr. Mathis’s current theory on the subject is that JFK suffered a fatal disease and was going to die anyway, and they wanted to control his successor. If a president resigns from office, the VP becomes president, but there can also be a new election. That could not be allowed, so they faked his death in a very elaborate fashion, one for the ages.
Later I would see Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and then John Lennon killed in the same fashion. I knew by that time that the RFK event was staged, and later Mr. Mathis would again set me even freer by explaining with evidence “Proof that John Lennon Faked His Death“. I ordered the movie Let Him Be, and satisfied myself that John Lennon was one of the actors. Some other day.
So, and it appears to be 2016 that, having decided that the JFK assassination was staged, that the morgue photos as seen the the Lifton book Best Evidence had to be fake too. I went looking for a photo of JFK with a perfect left profile for comparison, thinking that I would find one and that it would not match the morgue photos. I found it!
He is in a press conference, and that finger pointing at the right side of his head indicates he imagining, in other words, telling a lie. But that’s something we all do, either by pointing, or shifting our eyes up and right in normal conversation. A left shift indicates a search for knowledge, or truth-telling. So says my body language text.
Now, below, I am going to run some of the JFK autopsy photos. If you think they are real, be prepared for gruesome. I thought they were real too.
There are more, but that’s enough. At this point I wanted to run a comparison, the JFK profile shot against the appropriate morgue photo, to see if they were different. This included an ear comparison. The red line below is something I put there merely for alignment purposes.
I was heartsick. I had run my comparison, but it only told me that the man in the morgue photo and the JFK profile were indeed the same man. Mathis was wrong. If wrong about JFK, he would also be wrong about RFK and John Lennon (he had not yet written on the MLK assassination). I was due another realignment to reality. JFK was indeed killed that day. I was misguided to think otherwise.
Time marches on, but something bugged me. In the three photos above, something is not working, something is wrong. I am going to stop here now, and let you think about it, and better still, tell me what is wrong with the red-line comparison photo above, and then cast your eyes on the middle of three photos above that, the one above the top-of-head shot (so to speak). Gaze at that photo not for a few minutes, but for ten, then go away and come back and do another ten minutes, and keep on doing that until you see what I finally saw. I was unknowingly sitting on not just evidence, but strong evidence approaching truth, that JFK did not die that day. As David Lifton (1939-2022) might say, this could be my best evidence.
More to follow. Do your own analysis now.

I’m having trouble following the conclusion to the story.
My conclusion is if it’s very similar, they made up a wax dummy and gave it some wounds. Wax dummies look just like corpses.
And like your ma who really cares about Kennedy? Or the Dead Kennedys? A big punk rock joke. As in famous dead Kennedys. I can’t really get myself to care much about the so called rich and famous beautiful people anymore.
And in Boston I’d be suicidal to express these opinions openly. So many people worship these schmucks. On a fraternity road trip to Boston in 1990 we stayed at a fraternity there, same letters, whatever. In any case they had a picture of JFK on the wall. One of brohters, from upstate New York , or California, looked at the picture and giggled and asked why it was there. One of the frat bros said “thats JFK!” as if he were Jesus Christ on the cross. It’s a big show for suckers.

So you are saying it was live JFK and they doctored the photos later?
Remember we are talking about the CIA, who have unlimited resources and skills in faking photos and evidence. Which is why you can’t analyze anything in the public record that seriously. I see fakery in science all the time, it’s not hard for someone doing an experiment to fudge the data. We’re relying on some so called leaked photos. I can say with some confidence nothing leaked is going to be real. Because the number of people with access to the highest level information would be known, and leaking would be suicidal.
One more thing, which i have meant to mention. The masonic model is instructive in how it has 33 degrees, or tests, one must pass before getting to the next level. In all professions, there is a similar gatekeeping mechanism, to ensure only those who know to keep their mouths shut, are privy to sensitive information, and will not divulge it inappropriately. So therefore the chances of an insider leak are almost precisely zero, i.e. no insider will ever reveal that most of the assassinations, which people seem to still care about, are faked.

Live JFK and doctored the photos later? No. The thing they had was time. Notice the body of the man laying on the table, young and fit. JFK was young, but not fit. He had to wear back brace every day, and suffered from Addison’s, so his own body was wearing down. The body on the table looks to me alike a Navy Seal or Green Beret.
They did take photos of JFK in a kind of morbid state, though he was alive and OK. They then took only the face and ears, in a darkroom, and superimposed those on the photo of the soldier chosen to play the corpse. There’s more to follow here.
You said wax dummy? Go to my,post, Eva Perón, a Fairy Tale Life https://pieceofmindful.com/2018/03/20/eva-peron-a-fairy-tale-life/ and you will see two wax dummies created to be her corpse. Not even close to impressive. What they did here with JFK was masterful.
[To emPHAsize, they had time. This photo work was probably done weeks, maybe months ahead of 11/22/63. The motorcade scene in Dealey Plaza could well have been filmed in advance, as it was a limited area with actors only allowed, a movie set. The Zapruder film could have been done any time before or after 11/22. Even the famous LBJ swearing in, with Jackie next to him, was advance work. No way did they all crowd on a 707 for an unnecessary ceremony that day.(I personally suspect they placed a mannequin next to LBJ, later superimposing Jackie’s head, again, in a darkroom.) On 11/22/63 JFK and Jackie had left the scene long before any other events. MM notes that at a certain time during the motorcade they halted so that JFK could use the bathroom in a department store. That might have been the last time he was ever seen in public, body doubles doing the rest. Darkroom work was, it seems, a CIA specialty, and they had some extremely gifted people doing it. I see it all about from that time. Now we have Photoshop, so less skill is involved.

Mark, I align with you here. I thought you were suggesting a beautiful Kennedy corpse would be enough to overturn the hoax theory. I have seen wax models in Thailand of dead monks that look pretty convincing, just another idea.
For the hoax, the strongest evidence to me is the Oswald killing. I remember when I watched on youtube I was shocked how obvious it is you are watching a TV show. In fact I was surprised they put it up on youtube, but it is part of the public record. There’s probably a reason it never gets played on documentaries or the news, is that its the most obvious fake you’ve ever seen. I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen it to watch it, and especially listen to the noises, like the gunshot and delay of the reporters reaction. Which also beggars belief – Zapruder standing there motionless as high caliber bullets are fired in his direction? Um not likely.
The hardest part of the hoax theory is the early deaths of so many so called witnesses. I’d like to hear what people think happened to them. Its hard to imagine they all get their beach cabana on a tropical island for playing a bit part in the assassination (hoax). Maybe a top player like Kennedy. Because there were a lot of so called everyday people especially in Dallas that disappeared. It’s possible they were actually killed because they were showing signs of stress being part of the hoax? Also because probably only the highest level knew it was a a hoax, the rest of players are dupes and left to figure it out themselves, or believe they actually did kill Kennedy.

Witnesses left the scene? People wonder how they keep secrets. Mostly they don’t but when someone spills the beans there has to be someone to report that spill. We are missing that part.
Then there are oaths of secrecy, mostly Freemasons, as with the Parkland doctors, but also military. Soldiers can be jailed for telling secrets. They can keep secrets, they can compartmentalize, and you’re right about that 33rd degree … our highest leadership keep secrets, toast, wink, make oddball hand signs, and lie, lie, lie, as lying is a higher calling than telling the truth. It’s a different kind of loyalty, even honesty.
Every time we drive into Littleton I see a road sign, Dave Sanders memorial highway. He was the guy supposedly killed at Columbine. He was in the phone book. I checked. He disappeared. He was probably military, took on a new identitiy, and lived a normal life after his death.

I see that the red line in those photos do not align, so it’s not the same person. Also JFK would be in on this hoax to help make his departure smooth, why wouldn’t he lay down and pretend he is dead. At a time when all the evidence was sealed, how were these photos allowed to be released to the public? And with the recent Trump inquiry weren’t many other photos released?

I suppose he could have laid down and pretended to be dead, but maybe he refused, maybe it was considered undignified … they would have had to dress him up with fake wounds.
The photos were released in 1980 in the book Best Evidence by David Lifton. It was considered very distasteful and controversial. The Kennedy family even if not powerful (they were very powerful) could have easily stopped publication, and did not.
I know nothing of the Trump release.

My response is don’t think too much. The JFK assassination is not meant to make sense.
I disagree with the MM hypothesis. What proof is there JFK was in poor health, other than gossip? I could see if he’s some old man, but seriously he was the youngest, most handsome president ever selected. He looked in great health to the day he was supposedly killed.
Also MLK, RFK, malcolm x were in fine health when they were “assassinated”. I believe it was more “Killing Hope” than any other agenda. Or “Project Insanity” which I believe was the project of the 1960s on America. To make it’s citizens obsess over fake nonsense, like assassinations, immoral wars (Vietnam), space (completely fake trips to space in the 60s, psychedelic drugs, etc.

Re: JFK’s health. According to the following link herein below:-
“As a child, Kennedy nearly died from scarlet fever and also had serious digestive problems — most likely spastic colitis or irritable bowel syndrome, which plagued him for the rest of his life. As a young man, he suffered from urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and a duodenal ulcer. Better known was his notorious spine and back problems that began while playing football in college. His lower back pain was so severe, he was initially rejected by the both U.S. Army and the Navy when he first volunteered for service in World War II.”

I think it useful to consider the “Kennedy family“ not as Mom, Pop and the kids, who are jockeying for position at various levels of society, but as an extension of a much larger Gordian knot of bloodlines. The idea of a family consisting of a patriarch, a matriarch and nine children is naïve. When I look at Carolyn Kennedy I see her grandfather as her biological father and when I look at pictures of John Junior, I see the brother of Alexander Onassis. I see Jackie in the faces of both of these children and my suspicion is that Jackie, being a fertile princess, was taken by the rights of these inbred capstone elites* as a breeder for Joseph Senior, et al. Now it’s obvious Senior had several mistresses and several children with women other than Rose- as far as Jackie’s fertility she was then passed over to Onassis in order to breed two sons, Alexander and John Junior**. The fact that both of them died young does not surprise me as these kinds of characters are often reassigned and renamed in order to impose their birthright in some other region of the world, where viable heirs are needed, which this massive blood related octopus controls.
Questions about the Kennedy family not pursuing “justice” is answered by this model. If JFK was gay and genetically compromised, as is often the case with inbreds, then his public role as a sacrifice seems to me consistent with this kind of character- a genetic dead end. I think of the Rothschild bastard, Adolf Hitler, as another example. With no dynastic or blood related descendants possible, these dead ends play the role of the public sacrifice.
RFK jr., son of who knows who, will not do anything more than blame the nebulous Cold War era CIA, who even today is untouchable, so we are told, and the newly released “documents” will lead nowhere but back to JFK was killed by some assassin’s bullets. That’s the fiction that really matters, not what I’m suggesting here, that this is all theater starring loyal blood related actors.
*The purpose of a member of an older generation mating with a granddaughter/niece is to graft the offspring onto the line of this dynastic patriarch. More than just an “adoption”, it is like the adoption of the womb itself and the first born son from this union becomes a legitimate heir, even if there is already an older son (Joe Junior, ie) and heir. It keeps the line of succession very close.
** The dead “son” of Jack and Jackie, Patrick, could have been awarded to another branch of the expanding Kennedy tree where fertility was in question and the true lineage of Patrick was erased the day he was born.
Challenges welcomed.

Thanks, Tyrone, great comment. I hope it generates discussion. I have wondered about Patrick, the infant who conveniently died in August of 1963, three months before the assassination.

How much does inbreeding effect intelligence? Is it really a serious issue. At my Parabanks shopping centre many of the patrons look inbred. I doubt they are, I would suggest environment plays a big part in that inbreed look.
It would be very easy to breed much further out say 3rd cousin.
This next bit won’t be popular.
We often forget how smart these people at the top are. They were not intentionally fed toxic drugs to reduce their intelligence their whole lives. They were not taught completel bullshit from cradle to grave, they never have had to work in any sort of menial job.
I know the difference in intelligence (especially ability to reason) between the top 2 percent of peasants and the next 10 percent is massive with most of the bottom 80 percent being seriously intellectually challenged, almost autistic. I would assume the gap in intelligence between the average peasant and lord is now (perhaps always) so large that they are almost a different species.
I would not even assume they are overly concerned about money let alone have any of our other programming. Imagine yourself as a less incumbered thinker. With different programming. What would you do differently.
Look how much our hierarchical system has changed in the past thousand years. There is no reason to believe theirs is anything like ours. Has theirs changed much? How could I even know.
If you are breeding 3-5th cousin over thousands of years (especially after having breed closer previously) to an observers eyes it might look extremely inbred. The ‘genetics’ would have to be very similar.
There is so much more to the system than the top and bottom levels. I find it all very interesting.

Interesting points, although it’s highly speculative.. I was listening to the interviews with “Phoenician hunter” on his substack – he considers the ruling class to be merchants, since forever. Not sure I’m convinced, but his argument is, look at the world we’ve got – who would create it? Merchants, in his view.. although he complicates it a bit with talk of ancient priestly knowledge, astrology, etc.
Anyway, by the same token that I’m not sure about his take, I’m not sure they’re a hyper-intelligent “almost alien” species either.. maybe just grasping Ferengi, and clever deal makers, as Star Trek has it.. er, aliens, yes. But not very exalted aliens..
