Victoria Adams on the Stairs: Brouhaha Edition

Another rift among Kennedy assassination researchers has erupted within the past month over the integrity of Victoria Adams' testimony given to the criminal Warren Commission. While it could remain a matter of relative inconsequence, these matters rarely stay that way. Our view is that Adams' original published testimony is the canonical and best version.

The background to the argument between researchers John Armstrong and Barry Ernest starts with the latter's important book published in 2011, The Girl on the Stairs. Its author explains that its protagonist's descent down the stairs of the Texas School Book Depository from the 4th floor excludes the possibility that anyone else could have used that route to flee from the 6th floor. Only in the fertile imagination of the criminal Warren Commission could Oswald have been the president's assassin and then flee down the stairs at precisely the time he allegedly did so. There would have been a traffic jam as that stairway was the only path out. Recall that the criminal Warren Commission had Oswald racing at warp speed to get his Coke in the 2d floor lunch room so that he could casually and calmly encounter Dallas police officer Marion Baker and TSBD building manager Roy Truly.

As far as I can discern, there seems to be no disagreement over this general play of events, namely that it would be impossible for both parties to use the stairway without running into each other.

An additional, but important, detail attaches to the story regarding whom Ms Adams saw once she descended with co-workers Sylvia Styles and Dorothy Gardner, the latter the office manager of the Scott Foresman company office occupying part of the 4th floor.

In her testimony to the Warren Commission, Adams stated that she saw two men near the rear elevator on the first floor, which was the only elevator access to the 6th floor. Her testimony stated that she arrived there within seconds - 1 minute tops - of hearing the sniper bullets. These two men are significant in a number of ways, and submerging them under the sediment of history is an important objective of the continuing cover-up of the murder of the president.

Ernest upsets 40 years of silence on this matter by averring that he interviewed Victoria Adams in 2002 who then stated that she saw no men at the bottom of the stairwell. When Armstrong took issue with this development in 2021, Ernest issued a rebuttal on Kennedys and King, a website edited by fellow researcher Jim DiEugenio.

Ernest contends that Adams told him that she did not see two men near the elevator, thus leaving us the options of 1. recantation by Adams 2. Obstruction of Justice by altering her testimony. Ernest enlists the support of Sylvia Styles, still living, to rebut the testimony, and his Boy Scouts' honor that Adams made these confessions. He also suggests that Adams' missing testimony from the criminal Warren Commission archive is a sign of foul play and might vindicate his assertions about Ms Adams who died in 2007.

For his part, Armstrong cites Adams' Warren Commission testimony, Marion Baker's testimony, Billy Lovelady's testimony, and Bill Shelly's testimony to support the general idea that two men were standing near the elevator at the time Adams and her entourage reached the first floor. One would think that this marshalling of testimony was sufficient, but things are never this simple.

The irony of ironies is that Kennedys and King even published Ernest's rebuttal. Given DiEugenio's many castigations of other authors' flimsy and even fake evidence, why did he submit this to the court, so to speak?

To put a point on it, during a moment of insomnia, your Chronicler read one of DiEugenio's  slams, written in 2008, of the likes of James Fetzer, Peter Janney, and Gregory Douglas for using questionable, unverifiable, and 3d hand hearsay as evidence, precisely the methods used by Ernest in his rebuttal.

In 2002, when electronic recording equipment was plentiful and abundant, and when notary publics abounded, Barry Ernest did not bother to document the testimony of a critical witness very troublesome to the criminal Warren Commission. This lapse is unacceptable. We are not left with any substantive evidence that Ms Adams recanted her testimony, made any allegations of discrepancies, or was the victim of obstruction of justice.

Armstrong reports that Adams was given a copy of her testimony to approve and/or make corrections. She made a few grammatical corrections, signed it, and that was the end of it. Ernest reported his attempt to find the original commission transcripts in order settle the matter once and for all, but came up empty handed. So that leaves us with only the 1964 published interview of Adams as found in the criminal Warren Commission's fable known as the Warren Commission Report.

However, Baker's report that he saw "two white men" near the elevator corresponds very nicely with Adams' testimony in which she placed two men near the elevator, using a diagram supplied by the criminal Warren Commission.

Bill Shelley was a CIA agent or operative, and we wouldn't give his testimony any time other than to analyze how he twisted it to conform to the criminal Warren Commission's lies.

The reason that it is so important to bury the "two white men", and Ernest confirms it, is that it provides substantiation for Armstrong's thesis that the 6th floor snipers escaped down the elevator which was stationed just below the 6th floor where it was boarded for escape, aided by Bill Shelley and Billy Lovelady. It was Shelly's job to turn off the electricity to keep the elevator out of service until needed.

So why does Ernest wish to make the "two white men" disappear? That is a rabbit hole I prefer to avoid, but he pretty much shows his hand when he somewhat dismissively refers to Armstrong's escape thesis.

We suspect that more will be said about this disagreement, but for now, that's our story and we're sticking to it until some substantive verifiable evidence dissuades us.

One Minute Chronicle: NPIC Showed At Least 2 Shooters in Dealey Plaza

One of our best correspondents has shared sensational news from Gerald McKnight's Breach of Trust which proves the criminality of the Warren Commission and at least two gunmen in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.

 

The Warren Commission was a deliberate and successful attempt to usurp the power of the judiciary to try criminal cases in order to frame an innocent man.

 

The National Photographic Intelligence Center (NPIC) and the CIA performed their own investigations of the ambush against the president which uncovered results completely at variance with the Warren Commission. Most striking is the fact that both the CIA and NPIC provided their reports to the commission which promptly suppressed the findings.

 

One might be confused about why the CIA investigated its own coup operation. The reasons of course are white wash and compartmentalization. There is always some element of the CIA not involved in a particular crime so that the agency can claim with some amount of feigned credulity that it knew nothing of the crime.

 

Dealey Plaza was encircled with assassins, but the NPIC apparently could only verify 2 shooters. Allen Dulles would have none of it because he was one of the leading ring leaders in the murder, and most likely it was his plan to conduct an executive branch investigation to bury the crime.

One of the most striking findings of the investigations is that the first shot did not come from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. We have our doubts that any shots came from the building owned by murderer Col Harold Byrd, but the finding obliterates the WCR and its tendentious pack of lies.

 

Anyone who still believes in the Warren Commission Report is an enemy of truth and justice.

Bombshells in Dallas: Miscellaneous News from November in Dallas

Just when we thought we had uncovered the most important clues in the murder of President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza by the Rockefeller Crime Syndicate, new ones keep popping up like weeds. A case in point is the role of the Texas School Book Depository as a decoy.

To be more explicit, there were no shooters in the TSBD. This revelation hit us like two tons of lead bricks when we first heard it from our correspondent who viewed a lecture by Barry Ernest, the author of The Girl on the Stairs, at the recent November in Dallas conference sponsored by JFK Lancer Publications which presents new discoveries in the JFK murder case to the public at its annual gathering.

Ernest found a critical witness to the Kennedy murder after years of on again off again searching. Although she appears in the Warren Commission Report, her testimony was falsified by the committee and FBI. When Victoria Adams told the FBI what she saw in the immediate aftermath of the shooting in front of where she worked, they severely intimidated her to change her story to match the fabrications they were weaving about Oswald.

When she refused to do so, the commission falsified her story. She has remained deathly quiet since then, not wanting to find an early grave as have so many other who knew too much or dared to utter the truth.

Adams worked in the accounting department of the TSBD along with 3 others on the fateful day in November. When Adams’ coworkers heard the shots, they ran down the stairs to see what the commotion was, while Adams’ was certain that the president had been mortally wounded.

Two of the co-workers went down the stairs while Adams and a colleague remained on the fourth floor where they worked. From this vantage they could see anyone who ascended or descended the stairs. The only two people they saw were police officer Baker and building manager Roy Truly.

This observation is extraordinarily important. It is important because the stairs in the TSBD did not run straight up from the first floor to the sixth. In order to get to another floor, a climber had to  stop on the fourth floor to transfer to another flight of stairs to go up or down. The fourth floor housing the accounting department was wide open with an unobstructed view of the stair wells.

The girls who went down did not see anyone go down or up – to say nothing of Oswald. The girls who remained on the 4^th floor in the open area did not see anyone go up or down save for the two men just mentioned. The story completely contradicts the lies the Warren commission uttered about Oswald.

It also completely undoes our own understanding that CIA's assassins were manning the 5^th floor to shoot at the president. The truth is that the TSBD was NOT an assassin’s lair as long believed by the public and told ceaselessly by the state controlled news media.

The CIA staged an elaborate hoax  on the 6^th floor in order to frame Oswald. His handlers had maneuvered him into that job to create an association between Oswald and the TSBD. The 6^th floor sniper’s nest was yet another delusion with which the CIA blinded the public.

And to think that there is a museum there to keep the public stupid is a farce which would give Joseph Goebells sheer delight.

But that’s not all. Lyndon Johnson was rolled under the bus earlier this year in yet another solution to the crime. This time LBJ was painted as the master mind who had the will, motive, and power to murder a president. As usual, the truth is more complicated than that.

Johnson was easily the most foul president until George Bush, Jr. He was a mass murderer who sent men to Vietnam for no reason other than to line the pockets of his plutocrat bosses. He ordered the sinking of the USS Liberty when it was attacked by Israeli forces. And he participated in the murder of his nominal boss.

Johnson was a small cog in the Rockefeller / Wall Street plan to stage a coup. He was greedy enough to want to be president and wicked enough to obtain it by murder. His scandals were on the verge of sending him to prison. So it was no small gift to be invited to help in the American coup of 1963.

Johnson worked closely with his protégé John Connally to plan Kennedy's trip to Dallas which would allow the plutocrats to murder the president. When Kennedy was assaulted, Connally yelled out, “They are going to kill both of us!” Jackie Kennedy told William Manchester this quote when he was preparing his history of the Kennedy years. However, the publishers would not allow the quote to be published. So they altered it to, “They are going to kill us all!”

This statement meant that Connally felt that he was being double crossed after all of the work he did to funnel Kennedy onto Elm Street at the right moment.

Not to be outdone, Johnson called the Dallas Police Department to inform it that it should stop its investigation of the Kennedy murder because it already had the guilty party – Lee Oswald.

One of the interesting casualties of the discovery about the TSBD is in connection with the Tegan Mathis book claiming to deconstruct Executive Prvilege by Lynne Cheney. In particular, the claim that Colin Powell was the sniper in the TSBD becomes more farcical than it already was. We believe that Mathis is due for an even steeper discount than we had given previously.

The Kennedy killing and its cover-up by the CIA operating on orders from the Rockefeller murderers is one of history’s most fascinating and darkest crimes. Satan is laughing with delight the day the music died.
