The Pass Through Shot

 

ARRB testimony destroys the lone gunman theory.

Latest post a Substack.

The ARRB operated from 1994 to 1998.  Their mission is to compile documents from government agencies, declassify documents and take testimony under oath from witnesses.  It was an important project to bring some transparency to JFK assassination research even though it uncovered additional mysteries.  Such as autopsy photographer John Stringer stating the film he was reviewing, which were supposed to be the originals he shot in 1963, were of a totally different brand name of than what he used.  Meaning the transparencies were duplicates and not the original archived film he shot.  What happened here?  It’s never been resolved.

A Few Words on the Passing of Francis O'Neill Jr.

Retired FBI agent Francis X. O'Neill Jr., met the fate that awaits us all on February 6, at the age of 85. He, along with fellow FBI agent Jim Sibert (still with us, 90), were the only agents assigned to witness the autopsy of President John Kennedy. Their FD 302 report can be read at Mary Ferrell. He was a life-long supporter of the lone gunman theory despite stating in the report that surgery had been done to the top of Kennedy’s head. Words he would later regret and recant.

One controversial moment occurred when O'Neill seized film from a navy corpsman who allegedly did not have a proper security clearance. O'Neill exposed the film to light destroying the images. Did O'Neill not consider the man was under orders to take photos? And by exposing the unprocessed film he was destroying material evidence?

He had a full life from a War II as a paratrooper to FBI agent to being elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives. RIP, Mr. O’Neill.
