This post will expose its errors of omission and commission. Note that I contacted Wikipedia about a year ago to have a summary of my JFK witness death probability analysis included in the Witness Deaths section. The moderator refused, claiming my analysis was not a published document. Well, they no longer can use that excuse. My work has been cited in “Hit List” by Richard Belzer and David Wayne and by Jim Marrs in his updated version of the classic “Crossfire”. Along with Jim Garrison’s “On the Trail of the Assassins”, “Crossfire” was the basis for Oliver Stone’s “JFK”.<br /><br />This is my latest numerical and graphical analysis post: http://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/jfk-witness-deaths-graphical-proof-of-a-conspiracy/<br /><br />Before discussing the witness deaths, consider this example of glaring misinformation in the Wikipedia section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Select_Committee_on_Assassinations#Criticisms_and_further_research:<br />“A majority of witnesses who testified on the source of the shots said they came from the direction of the Depository. However, many witnesses thought the shots came from the direction of the Knoll. Only five witnesses, from a total of over one hundred, thought the shots came from two directions simultaneously”.<br /><br />On the contrary, the majority of witnesses thought the shots came from the Grassy Knoll! Let’s see, who would want to do something like that? If Wikipedia can get this wrong, why believe any of its sections on the JFK Assassination? It appears that Wikipedia’s editor has a bias, to put it mildly.<br /><br />This is from http://home.comcast.net/~johnkelin/51.html: “What follows is the result of a survey of the 121 witnesses to the assassination of President Kennedy whose statements are registered in the twenty-six volumes appended to the Warren Report. On the question of where the shots that killed the President came from, 38 could give no clear opinion and 32 thought they came from the Texas School Book Depository Building (TSBDB). Fifty-one (51) held the shots sounded as if the came from west of the Depository, the area of the grassy knoll on Elm Street, the area directly on the right of the President’s car when the bullets struck”.<br /><br />Note: In the JFK Calc database, there is a sorted list of over 552 witnesses who testified or gave depositions at the Warren Commission, of whom 76 indicated where they thought the shots came from. Sixty (60) said the Grassy Knoll (including 18 police and secret service). Sixteen (16) said the Texas School Book Depository (including 6 police). Twelve (12) had no opinion. In other words, nearly 4 out of 5 who had an opinion said the Grassy Knoll. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjAk1JUWDMyRdDFSU3NVd29xWWNyekd2X1ZJYllKTnc#gid=14Richard Charninhttp://richardcharnin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856333241837525662.post-42912817308876620932013-11-13T11:37:01.505-05:002013-11-13T11:37:01.505-05:00I don't believe the truth of this matter will ...I don't believe the truth of this matter will ever be confirmed until everyone who was alive and involved then is dead.
