We're going to be speaking with Paul O'Connor in just a few moments. We have him on the show, as well, because we wanted indidividuals who could corroborate your information. But right now, we're going to ask you to remain on hold. We're in the midst of a WBAI fund-raising drive .... .... My show is on the air five days a week bringing programs to you that will give you insights. Like right now we're doing a whole series on Government agendas and hidden agendas, and the conspiracies. We're targetting, right now, the John F. Kennedy Assassination, just because that assassination is something that everyone would agree had a major national impact. The trouble is, what we were told is the OFFICIAL position doesn't blend with what other researchers and first-hand observers are suggesting were the actual cases. And then, we have to ask: Why would someone cover-up this information? Why? Why would the media not report it? Why would the Government not investigate it? Why would the Warren Commission not explore it? So we're looking at that. Right now, on our program (and I want to thank our guests for being patient and for standing by) is David Lifton, the author of BEST EVIDENCE. He is suggesting that there were two caskets, one body; and that the body arrived without a brain; and that the brain that we were told was President Kennedy's brain may have, indeed, been someone else's; that there was a gaping hole large enough to put a fist through when it arrived in Washington; and that therefore, there had been alterations. Now, let us see what other corroboration we could have for this. We have, on the conference phone right now, Dr. Charles Crenshaw. Dr. Crenshaw, who graduated from the Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, who specializes in general surgery, is presently the chairman and director of the Department of Surgery at Saint Peters-Smith Hospital, in the Fort Worth area. He is a professor of clinical surgery at the University of Texas, Southwestern Health Center's Science Center in Dallas. Welcome to our program, Dr. Crenshaw. DR. CRENSHAW: Thank you. GARY NULL: By the way, Dr. Crenshaw is also the author of a very important work on the Kennedy Assassination called, JFK: THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE, which right now, I believe, is number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Isn't it? DR. CRENSHAW: Yes, it is. GARY NULL: And, by the way, THREE other books on the top-ten bestseller list are also about this assassination, so CLEARLY there is interest. Would you be good enough to explain to us the inconsistencies between your EYEWITNESS account and the official report upheld by the Warren Commission? DR. CRENSHAW: That day, on November the 22nd, 1963, all of the surgeons at Parkland believed that our President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot at least once from the front. We saw two wounds there. Both of them were from the front. The head wound was tangential in nature, coming in over the right side, above his ear, and leaving a large exit area, an evulsed area in the right-rear part of the head. There was loss of part of the parietal, temporal and most of the occipital lobe of the right cerebral hemisphere, with exposure of the cerebellum. It was about two-and-a-half to two- and-three-fourths inches in diameter. It was more or less circular. And in the photos from the National Archives -- which are so damaging -- this wound had completely vanished. There was no wound seen in the exhibits that are marked "B" and "E" in the book. This wound, that ALL of the physicians at Parkland described, was completely gone. The second wound was in the anterior part of the neck. It was about three to six millimeters in size and with an arc the size of your little finger. It was clearly demarcated as round and relatively clean-cut. Then the tracheal tube that had been put down was ineffective. And then Dr. Perry performed a tracheostomy through the entrance wound. The incision was sharp with smooth edges, and about an inch to and inch-and-a-half long. It was no longer than the flange on the tracheostomy tube, which was one-and-three-fourths inches. Not only that, after the nurses had removed this tracheostomy tube before we placed him in the coffin, it was brought back again. The edges were still smooth and very sharp. And in the autopsy photographs that I first saw in looking for the head wound, this wound was widely gaping, it was irregular, and it was now about two-point-five to three inches long. So there was CLEARLY a change between these wounds, that I saw at Parkland, and the wounds that we saw on the autopsy pictures that were given from the National Archives. GARY NULL: Why didn't you or others at the scene later complain or even make an issue or an affidavit showing that this was an alteration? DR. CRENSHAW: We never saw the photos. The first time I saw these was in early 1991. The Parkland physicians were never given this opportunity. They were only told about the additional wounds (which I doubt whether there was another wound in the back of the head, because I looked there) and were never told or shown any other evidence. We were told only about the autopsy. And we, like most people, felt that they would have had the best forensic minds in our country to examine our President. However, obviously, [from] what has been discussed and what we now know, [that assumption] was wrong. And so, we had no other knowledge other than the description by the Secret Service. GARY NULL: So if you had the description by the Secret Service, by an extension of this logic, the Secret Service or someone would have had to participate in this cover-up, or this obstruction of information. Would that be a reasonable assumption? DR. CRENSHAW: I think that's a very reasonable assumption. (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If I can arm you with the vital truth which you need to see that it was the corporate/banking/military/industrial empire who slew the last People's president because that president was trying to thwart their CIA-concocted Vietnam War plans -- a war party designed to engorge their bellies with (get this) one quarter of a trillion dollars in war profits and a vast Southeast Asian addition to their World empire of precious natural resources .... If I can arm you with this truth, then my efforts will have been partially successful. As I see it, the best way that you and I can reap a harvest from the seeds of realization that are being planted here is for each of us to join together to combine our individual strengths into one huge arm powerful enough to wield the awesome sword of the law, forged in Constitutionality, against the totalitarian forces who are subverting our Government and gradually herding us all into subjugation. And so I urge you to contact either one of two legal institutes that I know of having the courage, the resolve and the respect for justice necessary to serve as that sword of legality: William Davis Ramsey Clark The Christic Institute International Action Center 8773 Venice Blvd. 39 West 14th St., suite 206 Los Angeles, CA 90034 New York, NY 10011 1(310)287-1556 1(212)633-6646 John DiNardo ~~~ ~~~
