JFK: What the Doctors Saw

I have always been intrigued by events of 11/22/63 and even though I was only less than a month from my sixth birthday, I can remember walking into our family kitchen and telling my mother that the president had been shot.

A perfect companion to the documentary is David Lifton's massive book, "Best Evidence," which provides in-depth details as to the strange happenings involving the body of JFK and the cursory autopsy done by military doctors in Washington, D. C. rather than in Dallas.

Eight emergency room physicians who were present when Kennedy was brought in all agreed that the wound to the throat was an entrance wound were astounded with the conclusions of the Warren Report. As Lifton's book speculated, the wounds were altered in order to verify the conclusion that Oswald was the lone gunmen.

The Zapruder clip is shown and it is quite obvious that Kennedy was shot from the front.

The film is a very good one and should be of interest to anyone seeking the truth.

Why are we not being told the truth by the US authorities? Because that would open up Pandoras Box - and integrated lies would be exposed. The illusion of a shining democracy on the hill would be revealed ... and the american exceptionalism would erode. No more nice Uncle Sam.

A deep state able to obfuscate that USA was founded on european imperialism and a genocide ... and crafted on the basis of slavery and exploitation of working poors ... should be able to hide away the truth behind the killing of one of its presidents. It's all done for the greater good - and on a consensus of the people being an abstract for further exploitation. Business is big, business is bulldozing.

I have always dismissed those who believed that there was a second shooter in JFKs assasination. I thought that they were just a bunch of conspiracy theorists who were trying to get some TV coverage. Most of them were easy to dismiss and basically odd balls as far as I was concerned. I was 13 when it happened and I remember everything vividly. I saw Lee Harvey Oswald get shot on live TV. Maybe I was just naive but I never thought that it happened any differently than the way the government said that it happened but now I do. The Parkland doctors are nothing but totally professional and believable. And so was the Autopsy Corpsman in Bethesda. Watch it yourself. You will believe it too. The evidence is all on their side.

This documentary shines a very bright light on the lies and deception by our government. It shows how little our government thinks the people they work for need to know.

This factually based documentary gives the actual doctors that were in the room on that fateful day November 22nd, 1963.

The lies our government told us made us question what really happened that day. This documentary gives not only the Doctors, but also witnesses a voice. It shines a new light on Lee Harvey Oswald.

It shows how far government overreach will go to protect what they don't want you to know.

I've been called a conspiracy theorist for thinking Oswald was framed. For thinking our government lied to us.

...... It's not a conspiracy when things are proven true.

First, I don't actually dispute this film's core contention -- even if it's not stated outright -- that Kennedy's body should have remained at Parkland Hospital, where a proper, complete autopsy could have been performed. Instead we got what could charitably be called an inept autopsy, at worst a deliberately manipulated one. It is not the fault of the Parkland doctors that JFK's body was removed (illegally confiscated would be a better word) by the Secret Service. But it is the fault of the creators of this film that they fail to differentiate legitimate avenues of inquiry from rank speculation.

I supposed after 60 years there are plenty of people who have no idea who Kennedy was, and who are fascinated by the b-roll background that makes up at least one-third of this film. But for someone like me who has lived with this stuff since he was a kid, much of this material felt redundant and unnecessary.

Still, with so many witnesses entering their golden years, it's good that they're getting on film at all.
