The Warren Commission Report - The assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy was one of the most shocking events of the 20th Century, and in many ways the history of the United States can be divided into two parts: prior to the assassination, and after. Never before or since has the U.S. so adored its President, who at 43, was the youngest man ever elected to the office. In November, 1963, it seemed like everyone in America was in love with the Kennedys, but someone was not, and that someone changed the course of not only U.S. history, but world history, forever.
Headed by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren, "The Warren Commission Report" was issued on September 24, 1964. It attempts to build an ironclad case against the presumed killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and to explain his death at the hands of Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner with a notorious past. But, does it? Follow the twists and turns that lead up to November 22, 1963 in this riveting, sometimes shocking account, and come to your own conclusions.
President Kennedy was shot at 12:30 p.m. At 12:45 p.m., the Dallas Police Department issued this very general description of the assassin: "slender white male, about 30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches and weighing about 165 pounds." "…Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper at [Oswald’'s] rooming house ... testified that at about 1 p.m. on November 22, after Oswald had returned to the rooming house, a Dallas police car drove slowly by the front of the … premises and stopped momentarily; she said she heard its horn several times."
At 1:15 p.m., a good distance from the Texas School Book Depository, Dallas police officer J.D. "Tippit stopped [a] man and called him to his car. [The man] approached the car and apparently exchanged words with Tippit through the right front or vent window. Tippit got out and started to walk around the front of the car. As Tippit reached the left front wheel the man pulled out a revolver and fired several shots. Four bullets hit Tippit and killed him instantly." Oswald had already changed clothes at his rooming house so is it likely that Tippit would pull him over based on that very general description? If Tippit did indeed believe Oswald to be the assailant, is it likely that he would converse with him through his squad car window? Additionally, "at the time of the assassination Tippit was working weekends in a Dallas restaurant owned by a member of the John Birch Society …"
"On November 21 there appeared on the streets of Dallas [an] anonymous handbill … It was fashioned after the 'wanted' circulars issued by law enforcement agencies. Beneath two photographs of President Kennedy, one full-face and one profile, appeared the caption, 'Wanted for Treason,' followed by a scurrilous bill of particulars that constituted a vilification of the President. And on the morning of the President's arrival, there appeared in the 'Morning News' a full, black-bordered advertisement headed 'Welcome Mr. Kennedy to Dallas.' The 'welcome' consisted of a series of statements and questions critical of the President and his administration."
"Three of the four men chiefly responsible [for the ad], Bernard W. Weissman, William B. Burley III, and Larrie H. Schmidt, had served together in the U.S. Army in Munich, Germany, in 1962. During that time they had with others devised plans to develop two conservative organizations, one political and the other business. … Schmidt was the first to leave the service; settling in Dallas in October 1962 … Weissman and Burley … traveled to Dallas, arriving on November 4, 1963 [and] at Schmidt's solicitation, they took steps to join the John Birch Society, and through Schmidt they met the fourth person involved in placing the November 22 advertisement, Joseph P. Grinnan, Dallas independent oil operator and a John Birch Society coordinator in the Dallas area." "… Grinnan raised the needed money [for the ad] from three wealthy Dallas businessmen: Edgar R. Crissey, Nelson Bunker Hunt, and H. R. Bright.…"
"A comparable incident was the appearance of the 'Wanted for Treason' handbill on the streets of Dallas 1 to 2 days before President Kennedy's arrival. … Robert A. Surrey was eventually identified as the author of the handbill. Surrey, a 38-year-old printing salesman employed by Johnson Printing Co. of Dallas, Tex., has been closely associated with General Walker for several years in his political and business activities." Maj. General Edwin A. Walker had numerous right-wing connections and he was forced out of his command by the Kennedy administration for his political indoctrination of his troops. An attempt on Walker's life had been made on April 10, 1963 to which Lee Harvey Oswald confessed.
