The first picture in the above article shows two motorcycle officers riding behind the Kennedy’s car. According to a Channel 7 San Francisco special report many years ago, the windshields of those motorcycles were splattered with material from JFK’s brain after the shots. Doesn’t this indicate the fatal shot was fired from in front of Kennedy, for example from the Grassy Knoll area, rather than from behind Kennedy by Oswald? Also, we know from published photographs of Jackie reaching back to the trunk of their car that part of JFK’s skull and possibly brain was lying on the trunk after the shots. This also points to a shot fired from in front of the car. What do you think?
Hi Monty - There may or may not have been other shooters that day in Dealey Plaza. But there is no factual doubt that (1) three shots were fired from the southeast corner window of the Book Depository (2) the second of those shots wounded the President and (3) the third shot killed him. For the full explanation, see my free substack of 22 November 2023, "60 Years Ago Today."
As for the blood spray, the Zapruder film which you can now watch online clearly shows the blood spray going forward from the President's head. It is heartbreaking to watch and wait the 4.9 seconds during which time Mr. Greer should have gotten the President out of the kill zone.
It's interesting to note that the only reason the CIA thought Kostikov was Department 13 on 11/23/63 was because Kremlin-loyal Aleksei Kulak (FEDORA) at the FBI's NYC field office had told the Bureau a year earlier that Kostikov's charge at the U.N., Igor Brykin, was a Department 13 agent or officer, and because the KGB operation that (probablly Kremlin-loyal) Guenter Schulz (AEBURBLE) "penetrated" for the FBI and the CIA in TUMBLEWEED (which involved himself, Brykin and Kostikov) seemed to be of a sabotage nature. FWIW, a few years ago the CIA's official historian, David Robarge, wrote that it was never determined whether or not Kostikov was Department 13.
It's also interesting to note that Ivan Obyedkov, the KGB security officer at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City who volunteered the name "Kostikov" to a forgetful Oswald or Oswald impersonator over a sure-to-be-tapped-by-CIA phone line on 10/1/63 was, according to James Angleton's 1975-76 Church Committee testimony, a Kremlin-loyal triple agent, i.e., the CIA mistakenly believed it had successfully recruited him.
Hi Thomas - I tried sending a note to you on my cell but don't think it went through.
My understanding is that Kostikov was responsible for Dept 13 matters west of the Mississippi and Brykin east. David Robarge is very knowledgeable, however,
Silvia Duran called from her office in the Cuban Embassy and spoke directly with Kostikov on 27/9/63. As to the presence of Oswald in Mexico City, KGB officer (and Bagley nemesis) Oleg Nechiporenko wrote a book about meeting Oswald there,
PS It would appear that, according to the “intel” I have on my subscribers, you haven’t “opened” any of my articles yet. If true, what’s holding you back?
Did you know that on 22 November 1993, Nikolai Leonov (a KGB colonel at the Mexico City Soviet Embassy in 1963) told the National Enquirer that he had a one-on-one meeting with Oswald on Sunday 9/29/63, during which alleged meeting Oswald cried and brandished his revolver, just like he’d (allegedly) done in front of Nechiporenko, Kostikov and Yatskov the day before at the Soviet Consulate?
It seems to me that Leonov and his KGB buddies couldn’t get their story straight and that he may have told his tall tale to Enquirer to preclude his being implicated as the short (he was 5’ 7”), skinny, blond-haired, thirty-something, very thin-faced, Prince of Wales suit-wearing, “Oswald” that Consul Eusebio Azcue told the HSCA he’d dealt with at the Cuban Consulate two or three days before the 27th.
Hi Thomas - Leonov was assigned to Mexico City in the 50's and was case officer for Fidel, Raul, & Che. After they took control of the Cuban government he was made chief of the first ever Cuba officer in the First Chief Directorate. I wasn't aware that he was in Mexico City in 1963.
Thanks Thomas. I haven't seen any of your posts come up on my Substack feed lately. I'll check the site for earlier posts. My main interest is the history of how intelligence has affected US history, however. B
Like how the KGB* has been waging disinformation, "active measures," and "Inside Man" / "Outside Man" strategic deception counterintelligence operations against us and our NATO allies for 60-plus years, and how, concomitantly, "former" KGB* Lt. Col. Vladimir Putin installed KGB-compromised-since-at-least-1987 Donald Trump as our "president" on 20 January 2017, for example? *Today's SVR and FSB
A 2020 scientific study of the conscious reactions of several of the witnesses (including JFK and JBC) to the sounds of the first, missing-everything shot showed that Oswald fired it at hypothetical "Z-124," i.e., half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming at Z-133, and that Oswald therefore took 10.2 seconds to fire all three shots in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza. Google "estimating occult timing" to read the 22-page study for free. Also, some students of the assassination now believe that James Tague down by the Triple Underpass was nicked by a bullet fragment from the fatal Z-313 head shot, not by a fragment from the first shot.

Hi Bruce, All I can say is hang out with me, and you’ll probably learn a lot. — Thomas

Substack has published 229 of my articles so far. Just curious: What determines the parameters of your "Substack feed"?
I just now posted an article on Nikolai Leonov. Enjoy!

Compelling argument. The most comprehensive I have read. Still hurts after all these years.
