Pat’s interest began the day of the assassination, and with the murder of Oswald

Jenkins claimed he felt an unseen shoulder wound, but only 17 years later to the HSCA
Dr. Peters, Dr. Jones, Peters says, “Oh no…it’s occipital parietal“
Dr. Kemp Clark, though reluctant to talk to researchers, called David
In his office, Clark didn’t look at the photos, so he wouldn’t have to go record
1989, Pat and David filmed extensive interviews, including John Newman
Pat has the original draft of Newman’s JFK and Vietnam (1992)
Fletcher Prouty and John Newman, Oswald and the CIA (Newman 1995)

Transcript of Bugliosi’s reply to Aguilar (originally handwritten). View Here
Background to the many lies of the corrupt J. Edgar Hoover
The Warren Commison was depending on the FBI for investigation
The Warren Commission had no criminal investigators. It was completely dependent on the FBI
The notoriously corrupt chief, J. Edgar Hoover, announced Oswald guilt before starting the investigation.
Hoover “file checked” the Commission and the staff for “derogatory information”
Hoover had Gerald Ford secretly spy on the Commissioners
The conclusion was set at the outset
Anthony Lewis said all the evidence had been released by the Commission
In 1964 The New York Times’s Anthony Lewis reported that the Warren Commission released all the evidence it had collected. 30 years later the ARRB discovered that more than 3000 Commission documents were still being withheld.â€
Gary wrote to the journal “The Federal Lawyer” the official, peer-reviewed journal of the U.S. Justice Dept
Media reviewers are almost always ignorant of the facts of the case
Lance DeHaven-Smith
The CIA had to make up the term Conspiracy Theorists
Carl Bernstein reported Church Committee had evidence that the CIA had over 400 assets in major American Media
Neutron activation analysis is a scientific technique that was used to try to link JFK’s bullet fragments to Oswald’s rifle. It doesn’t work. Gary and Cyril Wecht explained in the journal, “The Federal Lawyer,” and elsewhere, that NAA couldnâ€™t provably match the bullet fragments taken from JFK’s autopsy with Oswaldâ€™s rifle, and that Vincent Bugliosi misrepresented the NAA science.
Charles Crenshaw, MD, a Parkland Hospital witness, an AMA member and Warren critic, sued the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) for libel for falsely reporting Crenshaw’s claims in his book, “JFK – Conspiracy of Silence,” was bogus because he never saw JFK. Crenshaw was there; JAMA lost the suit, and it paid Crenshaw $215,000.00, plus court costs.
George Lundberg was called and asked to slander the film “JFK”
Warren Commisson defenders have no crediblity
Louis Alvarez another example…
Time after time we have been decieved and lied to by government
Peter Dale Scott “You don’t rise to a powerful position in government unless they have the “goods” on you; that is, unless they have compromising information on you.”
HSCA Medical panel was fixed from the start
Only Cyril Wecht held his ground in the search for the truth
