Sophisticated crime investigation forensics
has finally caught up with the threadbare lies used to deceive Americans about
the murder of John F Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Sherry
Fiester’s latest book, Enemy of the Truth,
steps us through the somewhat arcane field of forensics to reveal the truth
about the crime scene.
If you are a fan of the CSI crime
scene investigations shows, you will be right at home with Ms Fiester who is
herself a Certified Senior Crime Scene Investigator who is also certified in about 50
state and federal judicial jurisdictions as an expert witness in forensics
matters, including blood spatter analysis. Now retired from police work, she
has devoted her time to exploring the forensic evidence of the Kennedy
assassination.
Before discussing the content of
the book, we must expose some of the weaknesses in the present volume. Although
its prose is competent at best, its editing is subpar for a work of this
quality which is college level material in any sense of the term. Numerous typographical, grammatical, and lexical errors abound
throughout the book, making comprehension at times a bit of a challenge.
On the other hand, we elevate
substance over form and cannot in any way allow these denigrations to deter us
from seeking the truth and advancing our understanding of the crime of the century.
To that end, this book is unparalleled and is deserving of the fullest
attention, especially since Lyndon Johnson shut down the investigation in Dallas the
evening of his first day in office.
Warren Commission Report fans
will find very little of comfort in Fiester’s book as she shreds nearly every
shibboleth of the Lone Nut community to kingdom come. But, while we are on the
subject of Johnson, his contempt of the report is legendary – for some rather
obvious reasons which we will not develop here.
Enemy of the Truth contains a series of essays organized by chapter
which largely stand on their own. Yes the author refers to material presented
in previous chapters but she nonetheless repeats it so that full detail of the
previously treated subject is not required in its present application. One
subject receiving considerable repetition is blood spatter analysis of which
the author is an authority as we noted above.
The chief conclusion of the book
- though not necessarily its thesis – is
that President Kennedy’s fatal head shot – one captured so eloquently by the
Zapruder film especially – was fired from the front from the triple over/under
pass. Blood spatter analysis and wound ballistics devastate the case of a fatal
shot coming from the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD).
That facility, by the way, is a
hysterical joke with its fake museum fooling passive people into believing that
Oswald created a sniper’s nest on the 6th floor – again, a subject
of another post.
Fiester waylays many cherished
myths of the establishment as well as of the conspiracy community as she
follows the evidence where it leads regardless of the philosophical preference
she or others may hold.
The Zapruder film has been the
subject of charges of alteration due largely to the blood spatter and body
motion of Kennedy at the moment of the assassination. Fiester shows
that modern blood spatter analysis – a veritable science – demonstrates that
the effluents coming from Kennedy are authentic and the result of a front shot.
Forgers would have needed to possess knowledge about blood spatter science which
simply was not available prior to 1975 when the film was first publicly aired.
While none of the assassination
films shows the presidential limousine stopping, many witnesses swore to the
fact that it did. We even adopted that position in a previous blog, but have
since divested ourselves of the notion based upon better evidence and
explanation. Fiester delves into some specialized theory and science to explain
the phenomenon of the witnesses' empirical perceptions to show the stress of the
moment led to time dilation which in turn gave the appearance of the stopping
vehicle.
None of this exonerates the Secret Service in any
way as Fiester later reports analysis from a study sponsored by House Select Committee on Assassinations which
showed that the vehicle indeed slowed from about 12 mph to 8 mph just prior to
the head shot.
One of the highlights of the book
uses ballistic wounds, math, and physics to triangulate the location of the
shooter. This evidence is used to disabuse us of the Grassy Knoll theory. While
the author does not claim that no shots were fired from behind the fence – and indeed there
is an abundance of witness to weapons fire from the parking lot behind the knoll –
she does claim that the fatal head wound could not have come from the famed
grassy knoll.
We have skimmed just a fraction
of the information and analysis found in this fabulous and long overdue book,
so readers will have to obtain a copy to get the full monty as they say. We are
delighted that the lone nut theory has been wasted with the devastation it so
justly deserves.
We have seen the release of a near
avalanche of first rate books over the past 2 years which demonstrates with court quality evidence
the fact that Kennedy was killed by skilled and powerful assassins whose
authority for the murder came deep within the Military Industrial Complex – a complex
which includes the Bush Crime Syndicate and Rockefeller Axis of Evil.
The time for debating whether
Oswald or a kook killed Kennedy is long past. The real work of tying to the crime the most
likely suspects may begin in earnest.
