warns that one haunting paragraph unearthed from 3,000
never-before-seen documents will shake Patriots to their core about the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Or perhaps worse. Make that haunting three paragraphs. This is not pretty.
But it is likely President Donald Trump understands what Kennedy comprehended, which now appears to have led to his murder:
The out-of-control shadow government in this country threatens the fabric and the future of the United States.
See for yourself.
As a reminder, here is the position of the alleged shooter explained...
So how do 'they' explain this...
For clarity...
"...the "Surgeon General's Report" on the assassination stated that
the first bullet entered the President's throat below the adams apple,
clearly showing that two persons were involved with the first shot being
fired from the bridge across the park way in front of the car.
To further substantiate this, POTITO said there was a bullet hole in the windshield of the President's car..."
In 2009, I believed I had discovered new evidence in the JFK assassination never reported by anyone else: convincing photography
of the through-and-through bullet hole in the windshield of the JFK
limousine that had been reported by six credible witnesses. I revisited
that evidence today, and am more convinced than ever that the bullet
hole in the limousine windshield is what I am looking at in those
images.
But the readers of this piece don’t have to take my word for it —
you can examine the images yourself, and make up your own minds. The
evidence is contained in one of the banned, suppressed episodes of Nigel
Turner’s The Men Who Killed Kennedy
— episode 7 in the series, called “The Smoking Guns,” which was aired
in 2003, and then removed from circulation by The History Channel in
response to intense political pressure by former LBJ aides Jack Valenti
and Bill Moyers.
I’ll tell you about the stunning evidence I have found in that
episode at the end of this article, but first we need to set the stage
by reviewing the eyewitness testimony about the damage to the windshield
observed the day of JFK’s assassination, on Friday, November 22nd,
1963; as well as three days later, on Monday, November 25th, 1963.
Introduction
Before I reveal the details about the “new” photographic evidence I
am talking about here, let’s review the Big Picture, the “evidentiary
landscape” on this issue (see pages 1439-1450 of Volume V of my book, Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, for full details):
(1) Dallas motorcycle patrolmen Stavis Ellis and H. R. Freeman both
observed a penetrating bullet hole in the limousine windshield at
Parkland Hospital. Ellis told interviewer Gil Toff in 1971: “There was a
hole in the left front windshield…You could put a pencil through it…you
could take a regular standard writing pencil…and stick [it] through
there.” Freeman corroborated this, saying: “[I was] right beside it. I
could of [sic] touched it…it was a bullet hole. You could tell what it
was.” [David Lifton published these quotations in his 1980 book, Best Evidence.]
(2) St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Richard Dudman wrote an article
published in The New Republic on December 21, 1963, in which he stated:
“A few of us noted the hole in the windshield when the limousine was
standing at the emergency entrance after the President had been carried
inside. I could not approach close enough to see which side was the
cup-shaped spot which indicates a bullet had pierced the glass from the
opposite side.”
(3) Second year medical student Evalea Glanges, enrolled at
Southwestern Medical University in Dallas, right next door to Parkland
Hospital, told attorney Doug Weldon in 1999: “It was a real clean hole.”
In a videotaped interview aired in the suppressed episode 7 of Nigel
Turner’s The Men Who Killed Kennedy, titled “The Smoking Guns,” she
said: “…it was very clear, it was a through-and-through bullet hole
through the windshield of the car, from the front to the back…it seemed
like a high-velocity bullet that had penetrated from front-to-back in
that glass pane.” At the time of the interview, Glanges had risen to the
position of Chairperson of the Department of Surgery, at John Peter
Smith Hospital, in Fort Worth. She had been a firearms expert all her
adult life.
(4) Mr. George Whitaker, Sr., a senior manager at the Ford Motor
Company’s Rouge Plant in Detroit, Michigan, told attorney (and professor
of criminal justice) Doug Weldon in August of 1993, in a tape recorded
conversation, that after reporting to work on Monday, November 25th, he
discovered the JFK limousine — a unique, one-of-a-kind item that he
unequivocally identified — in the Rouge Plant’s B building, with the
interior stripped out and in the process of being replaced, and with the
windshield removed. He was then contacted by one of the Vice Presidents
of the division for which he worked, and directed to report to the
glass plant lab, immediately.
After knocking on the locked door (which
he found most unusual), he was let in by two of his subordinates and
discovered that they were in possession of the windshield that had been
removed from the JFK limousine. They had been told to use it as a
template, and to make a new windshield identical to it in shape — and to
then get the new windshield back to the B building for installation in
the Presidential limousine that was quickly being rebuilt. Whitaker told
Weldon (quoting from the audiotape of the 1993 interview): “And the
windshield had a bullet hole in it, coming from the outside through…it
was a good, clean bullet hole, right straight through, from the front.
And you can tell, when the bullet hits the windshield, like when you hit
a rock or something, what happens? The back chips out and the front may
just have a pinhole in it…this had a clean round hole in the front and
fragmentation coming out the back.”
Whitaker told Weldon that he
eventually became superintendent of his division and was placed in
charge of five plant divisions. He also told Weldon that the original
windshield, with the bullet hole in it, had been broken up and scrapped —
as ordered — after the new windshield had been made.
When Doug Weldon interviewed Whitaker in August of 1993, his witness
insisted on anonymity. Weldon reported on the story without releasing
Whitaker’s name in his excellent and comprehensive article titled: “The
Kennedy Limousine: Dallas 1963,” which was published in Jim Fetzer’s
anthology Murder in Dealey Plaza,
in 2000. After Weldon interviewed Whitaker in August of 1993, Mr.
Whitaker subsequently — on November 22, 1993 (the 30th anniversary of
President Kennedy’s assassination) — wrote down all he could remember
about the events he witnessed involving the Presidential limousine and
its windshield.
After George Whitaker’s death in 2001, his family
released his written testament to Nigel Turner, who with their
permission revealed Mr. Whitaker’s name, as well as the text of his
“memo for history,” in episode 7 of The Men Who Killed Kennedy, “The
Smoking Guns.”
In “The Smoking Guns,” the text of Whitaker’s memo can be read on the
screen employing freeze frame technology with the DVD of the episode.
It said, in part: “When [I] arrived at the lab the door was locked. I
was let in. There were 2 glass engineers there. They had a car
windshield that had a bullet hole in it. The hole was about 4 or 6
inches to the right of the rear view mirror [as viewed from the front].
The impact had come from the front of the windshield. (If you have spent
40 years in the glass [illegible] you know which way the impack [sic]
was from.”
(5) The sixth credible witness to a bullet hole in the windshield of
the limousine was Secret Service agent Charles Taylor, Jr., who wrote a
report on November 27, 1963 in which he detailed his activities
providing security for the limousine immediately after the car’s return
to Washington following the assassination. The JFK limousine and the
Secret Service follow-up car known as the “Queen Mary” arrived at
Andrews AFB aboard a C-130 propeller-driven cargo plane at about 8:00 PM
on November 22, 1963. Agent Taylor rode in the Presidential limousine
as it was driven from Andrews AFB to the White House garage at 22nd and M
Streets, N.W. In his report about what he witnessed inside the White
House garage during the vehicle’s inspection, he wrote: “In addition, of
particular note was the small hole just left of center in the
windshield from which what appeared to be bullet fragments were
removed.”
Summary of the Eyewitness Testimony About the Windshield Bullet Hole
Summarizing, six credible witnesses — Stavis Ellis, H. R. Freeman,
Richard Dudman, Evalea Glanges, George Whitaker, and Charles Taylor —
all reported seeing a bullet hole in the windshield of JFK’s limousine
either on the day of the assassination (for five of the six witnesses),
or on the following Monday (in the case of Mr. Whitaker, who did not see
the limousine and its windshield until he reported to work at the Ford
Motor Company’s Rouge Plant, in Detroit, on Monday morning, November
25th, 1963).
Two of these witnesses — Evalea Glanges and George Whitaker — were
absolutely positive that the bullet causing the damage had been a shot
from the front, which had entered the front surface of the windshield,
and exited the inside surface.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Because if true, the windshield bullet evidence alone disproves the lone assassin myth aggressively promoted by the U.S. government for 49 years now, since the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was supposedly firing from above and behind the limousine as it traveled down Elm Street.
The Windshield Evidence Was Twice Switched-Out — Substituted — By the U.S. Government…
The windshield in evidence today at the National Archives is not the windshield that was in the Presidential limousine on Elm Street, in Dallas, on November 22, 1963. It simply cannot be.
Why? Remember, according to George Whitaker, Sr. of the Ford Motor Co.,
the original was destroyed, per company orders, after it was used as a
template to make a replacement on November 25th, 1963.
But it gets much worse than that. The first replacement, the one
installed by Whitaker’s two lab technicians in Detroit, was damaged on
the wrong side by an incompetent Secret Service organization
(incompetent not only at protecting the 35th President, but also in
implementing a cover-up). Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman (who rode
in the right front seat of the limousine in Dallas) testified before the
Warren Commission, in March of 1964, that when he examined the
windshield (obviously the replacement, installed by Whitaker’s team in
Detroit) on November 27th, it was smooth on the outside, and damaged on
the inside. This is consistent with damage caused by an impact on the
front side of the windshield. (Safety glass exhibits damage on the
opposite side from which it is struck). Researcher Robert P. Smith (as
reported by David Lifton in Best Evidence) interviewed a Mr. Bill Ashby,
crew leader at the Arlington Glass Company, who told Smith he removed
the limousine’s windshield in Washington, D.C. on November 27th; this
occurred after Roy Kellerman had felt the interior surface earlier that
day and determined it to be damaged on the inside, and smooth on the
outside.
But the windshield at the National Archives today exhibits long cracks — not a through-and-through bullet hole — and is damaged on the outside, which is the opposite of what Kellerman noted by physical examination on November 27th.
Co-owner Willard Hess of the automotive firm Hess and Eisenhardt in
Cincinnati, Ohio told Doug Weldon that his company also replaced the
windshield in the Presidential limousine, and that the glass removed was
standard safety glass — consistent with what George Whitaker said his
team reinstalled in the limousine in Detroit, immediately after the
assassination. Hess and Eisenhardt replaced the standard safety glass
with special bullet resistant glass made by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Company. (Presumably, the windshield removed by Hess and Eisenhardt was
the second new windshield installed — by the Arlington Glass Company —
on November 27th, 1963, and is the one in the National Archives today.)
Mr. Hess told Weldon that the windshield his company removed was not
damaged at the time it was removed.
The clear implication here is that the windshield in the Archives
today, which exhibits cracks but not a bullet hole, was intentionally
damaged by someone involved in the cover-up AFTER its removal by Hess and Eisenhardt.
This distressing (and depressing) tale of cover-up, deceit, and
deception mirrors what was going on with the JFK medical evidence
(namely, the President’s cranial wounds and throat wound; and the
autopsy photographs and x-rays), and the Zapruder film, during the
weekend following the assassination — that is, alteration and gross
substitution. The pattern is the same, and the pattern is one of lying,
and intentionally covering up the truth, by destroying some evidence,
and substituting altered evidence in its place. All of this substitution
of evidence — tampering with wounds prior to the commencement of the
autopsy through clandestine post mortem surgery; the alteration of some
of the key autopsy photographs and x-rays (and the destruction of
others); and the alteration of the Zapruder film — was all intended to
suppress evidence of shots from the front (i.e., proof of conspiracy),
so the government could more easily promote its lone assassin cover
story.
…And the U.S. Government Later Suborned Perjury in the Matter of the Damage to the Limousine Windshield
Unfortunately for Mr. Charles Taylor of the Secret Service, he — like
Galileo Galilei before the Inquisition in the 17th century — was forced
to recant, for he had committed heresy when he wrote in his official
report on November 27th that he had observed a bullet hole in the
windshield of the limousine as the car was closely examined in the White
House garage the evening of the assassination, in 1963. In his 1976
recantation, an affidavit prepared for the House Select Committee on
Assassinations (HSCA), Taylor indicated that he changed his mind after
examining the windshield stored in the Archives on December 19, 1975.
Like Galileo, when prompted by his inquisitors, Taylor reversed himself,
saying: “…I never examined this apparent hole [on November 22, 1963] to
determine if there had been any penetration of the glass, nor did I
even get a good look at the windshield in well-lighted surroundings…”.
This is hardly credible. SA Kinney drove JFK’s limousine from Andrews
AFB to the White House garage on November 22nd, 1963, and Taylor was the
only passenger. The back seat bench (as revealed by horrifying color
photographs taken in the White House garage) was still covered with
gore, so we know Taylor did not sit there amidst the blood and brain
tissue; and it is most doubtful that he sat in one of the uncomfortable
jump seats in the middle of the car. Surely, he sat in the right front
seat of the limousine all the way from Andrews AFB, to the garage where
it was examined that evening — an ideal spot for noticing the bullet
hole in the windshield, which would have been within arm’s reach for
him. Inevitably, when the interior of the car was disassembled that
evening inside the White House garage by FBI and Secret Service agents
working together, the lights must have been on for this crucial joint
inspection!
Taylor reported on their activities in detail in his report,
prepared on November 27th, 1963. The report makes clear that the agents
could see what they were doing. In that context, consider Taylor’s
written statement in his 1976 HSCA affidavit, about thirteen years
later, in which he stated: “I have no doubt that the cracks [seen in the
windshield placed in the Archives and in official photographs]…cracks
in the inner layers of the glass only, are the ones I noticed on the
trip from Andrews Air Force Base…it is clear to me that my use of the
word ‘hole’ to describe the flaw in the windshield was incorrect.”
Taylor’s sworn affidavit in 1976, shortly after he was asked by someone
in government to examine the switched-out windshield deposited in the
Archives, can only be viewed and described for what it was: perjury.
Previously Known Photographic Evidence of a Windshield Bullet Hole
As I documented in chapter 15 of my book, Inside the Assassination
Records Review Board, the famous “Altgens photo” taken on Elm Street,
the one reported to be equivalent to Zapruder frame 255 in the extant
film, appears to many who study it to show a bullet hole in the
windshield in some of the versions of that photograph that have been
published: namely, in The Torch Is Passed (1964), on page 16; in Groden’s The Killing of a President, on pages 30 and 36; on page 314 of Trask’s Pictures of the Pain;
and in the version published in Fetzer’s Murder in Dealey Plaza, on
page 149. The apparent bullet hole detected by many viewers in the
Altgens photo appears to be just to the right of the rightmost edge of
the rear view mirror, as seen from the front. But there is another
Altgens photo taken on Elm Street, showing Jackie Kennedy on the trunk
of the limousine after the assassination, which also shows damage in the
area of the windshield that is left-of-center, as seen from inside the
car.
Frustratingly, the damage seen in this photograph appears to be
some cracks emanating from a frosted white area of the windshield that
is left-of-center. It is most clearly seen in The Torch Is Passed, on
page 17; in my view, it is unclear whether we are looking at a round
bullet hole with two cracks emanating from it, or simply cracks. The
poor quality versions of this image published in The Killing of a
President (on page 42) and in Pictures of the Pain (on page 316) are
useless in resolving this issue.
Therefore, any additional photographic evidence captured the day of
the assassination might prove decisive in resolving the windshield
debate, once and for all — which leads us back to the headline of this
journal entry: “Photographic Evidence of Bullet Hole in JFK Limousine Windshield Hiding in Plain Sight.”
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT SINCE 2003
On pages 1473-1474 of Volume V my book (in chapter 16), I wrote about
the circumstances in which The History Channel, in 2003, was forced by
political pressure and by threat of legal action to stop airing the
remarkably popular seventh, eighth, and ninth episodes of the series The
Men Who Killed Kennedy: “The Smoking Guns,” “The Love Affair,” and “The
Guilty Men.” Not only did The History Channel agree to stop
broadcasting the three episodes (which were getting very high ratings),
but it also pulled all of the DVDs from stores (where they were selling
like hotcakes), and agreed to stop selling the three episodes, which
were packaged together in a two-disc, three episode A & E network
video product titled: The Men Who Killed Kennedy: The Final Chapter, Cat. No. AAE-71255. (Thanks to Phil Singer of Chicago, I own a set of these three banned DVDs.)
Not only did former LBJ aides Jack Valenti and Bill Moyers engage in a
high-profile publicity campaign against The History Channel, but an
enraged Jack Valenti (who had long been the chief lobbyist in the
nation’s capital for the motion picture industry) summoned the executive
producer of episodes 7, 8, and 9 (including the LBJ episode, “The
Guilty Men”) — Dolores Gavin — to Washington, D.C., where she was given
the “Valenti treatment,” i.e., browbeaten and intimidated in private, in
a rather brutal fashion. (I was informed of this by a Hollywood-based
professional who had worked with her on the project; Dolores Gavin
herself was the source of the information.) Shortly afterwards, The
History Channel succumbed to this overt censorship and all three
episodes were added to a new, twenty-first century Index Expurgatorius.
The presumptive cause of this Holy Edict of the American
Establishment was the LBJ episode, “The Guilty Men,” which fingered
Lyndon Baines Johnson with involvement in the JFK assassination
conspiracy. But in retrospect, I now wonder if perhaps the real,
principal (but unacknowledged) cause of the suppression was actually the
episode titled “The Smoking Guns.” The LBJ episode may have simply been
the excuse to ban “The Smoking Guns,” for this episode contains
multiple evidentiary proofs of a U.S. government cover-up of the Kennedy
assassination evidence.
The Stunning Content of “The Smoking Guns”
There is some “B-roll” in “The Smoking Guns” episode, only a little
over two seconds long, which definitely appears to show the bullet hole
in the limousine windshield — the through-and-through bullet hole described by the six credible witnesses cited above. This is shown during the segment of the program in which Evalea Glanges was interviewed.
This “B-roll” footage appears between the times of 14:02 and 14:04 on the DVD, and consists of a total of 84 video frames
(there are 30 video frames per second in a U.S. television broadcast).
The black-and-white images appear to come from standard 16 mm B & W
newsreel footage, taken by a stocky man wearing a hat who had approached
the Presidential limousine as it was parked outside the Parkland
Hospital emergency room (and before the bubble top was installed). The
point of view (POV) of the camera was that of someone sitting in the
limousine, or rather standing just beside it and to the right side.
The
camera is pointed at the inside surface of the windshield from behind —
that is the POV. One man in a suit and tie can be seen standing on the
front side, or forward of, the windshield, and two DPD motorcycle
patrolmen (are they Ellis and Freeman?) can be seen leaning in and
examining the windshield. What looks to me like a through-and-through
bullet hole is visible in all 84 video frames, left of center on the
windshield (adopting the POV of the camera) and approximately halfway
down from the top, although these are only rough approximations. The
location appears to be entirely consistent with that described by
Charles Taylor and George Whitaker (above).
I
wish to make something very clear here: you cannot access the
images I am describing above in the YouTube segment in which this
episode
has been put up on the internet. First, the timing is different in the
YouTube segment (13:08, vice 14:02), because the YouTube segment was
copied from the broadcast. [The factory DVD location of the clip is at a
later point in the program, at 14:02, because of advertising material
inserted at the beginning of the DVD.] Second, the size of the YouTube
presentation is so small on one’s computer screen, and the resolution so
poor in comparison with a big screen HD television, that you can forget
seeing this windshield bullet hole on YouTube. The viewer needs the
factory-produced DVD; a good DVD player with functioning frame-by-frame
advance; and a big screen, High Definition (1080p) TV. The bullet
hole shows up clearly on my 52″ SONY Bravia television. So anyone
concerned with doing research here simply must obtain the
factory-produced DVD.
Now, no doubt the “lone-nutter” crowd — both those who are in denial
of the reality of an American coup in 1963 (because they can’t handle
the truth), and the U.S. government’s third-party surrogates in the
midst of the research community (whose job it is to cast doubt on all
new research pointing to conspiracy and cover-up) — will react violently
to this essay, and that is predictable.
But you don’t have to listen to
their opinions…EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.
Just obtain a factory-produced DVD of “The Smoking Guns,” by hook or
crook (or E-Bay); put it in your DVD player; go to the specified time of
14:02 into the program; and then examine the 84 video frames, one at a
time, on an HD big screen TV. You will find that video frames 1, 15, 31, 37, 47, 59, and 71 best depict the bullet hole.
The 16 mm camera was hand-held, so there is some motion and some
blurring of the images, and that is why some video frames are more clear
than others. In my opinion, the best frames are #1 and # 71 in the windshield sequence.
Then consider how dangerous this two-seconds of “B-roll” footage is
to the U. S. government’s contrived position on the assassination as we
approach the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s assassination: a
through-and-through hole in the limousine windshield, made by a frontal
shot traveling from front-to-back (as stated by George Whitaker and
Evalea Glanges), all by itself, demolishes the lone-assassin myth
still being perpetuated by the U.S. government and by its surrogates in
the mainstream media in America. No wonder the establishment in America
felt this episode had to be suppressed.
And consider the other reasons for its suppression. This episode also
features Dr. David Mantik, M.D., PhD., eloquently and clearly
discussing his conclusion — based on his nine visits to the National
Archives to view the autopsy materials — that the autopsy photographs of
the rear of JFK’s head are photographic forgeries. It also features
former USIA photographer Joe O’Donnell discussing how White House
photographer Robert Knudsen showed him two sets of post mortem photos of
JFK’s head wounds late in 1963: one set that consisted of authentic,
pre-alteration images, showing the true entry and exit wounds in the
head (an entry wound high in the right forehead, and a large exit wound
in the right rear of the skull); and another set of images that was
post-alteration, with the entry wound high in the forehead no longer
visible, and the back of the head seemingly intact.
It also features Dr.
Gary Aguilar, M.D., discussing in convincing terms G. Robert Blakey’s
suppression of the content of interviews the HSCA conducted with JFK
autopsy witnesses, and Blakey’s intentional misrepresentation of the
contents of those interviews in the HSCA’s report; the JFK Records Act
resulted in the “premature release” of the suppressed autopsy witness
interviews in 1993, and the “Big Lie” in the HSCA report was exposed.
(The HSCA report, in volume 7, stated that all of the Dallas doctors had
to be wrong about the exit wound they recalled in the back of JFK’s
head, since all of the autopsy witnesses the HSCA had interviewed said
the wounds they observed matched the autopsy photos which show the back
of the head intact. The release of the interview reports in 1993
revealed that the HSCA had lied about what those witnesses had said.)
All of this, and more, was presented in this one key episode.
So ask your friends, go on E-Bay, and one way or another, get your
hands on the banned episode of The Men Who Killed Kennedy titled “The
Smoking Guns,” and see the bullet hole in the windshield yourself.
Then compare it to the photographs of the windshield in the National
Archives, and ask yourself what this sorry episode says about the
integrity of our national government.
President Kennedy was killed in Dealey Plaza by a crossfire,
meted out by shooters firing from multiple directions, from both the
front and behind — therefore, he was felled by a conspiracy, by
definition. The windshield bullet hole evidence, all by itself,
proves a conspiracy; and its clumsy and unsuccessful suppression, all
by itself, is proof of a government cover-up of the facts in President
Kennedy’s assassination, since the U.S. government controlled all of the
windshield evidence. The facts contained in this tale prove that we had
a coup in America in 1963, and that powerful and influential people
were still covering it up in 1975, and 1976, and 1979, and in 2003.
Former CIA Director William Colby once said that everyone of any
significance in the U.S. media was owned by the CIA. I believe it —
otherwise, this windshield nonsense would have been exposed long ago on a
show like “60 Minutes.”
I have expressed here my own strong opinion about what is shown in
the 84 video frames visible in this documentary. A good follow-on step
here would be to obtain the original 16 mm camera footage (presumably a
black and white negative, not some multi-generational stock
footage), perform a high-resolution digital scan of the film frames in
Hollywood, and have them analyzed by motion picture professionals in the
film industry who have no axe to grind — not by Gary Mack at the Sixth
Floor Museum (who has never been to film school, or worked in the motion
picture industry), or by any member of the JFK research community who
has espoused a conspiracy or cover-up in the assassination. A true,
third-party independent analysis of the camera negative, or of the
earliest surviving generation of this newsreel footage, would be a good
next step in the process of evaluating these images.
I have sounded the alarm here — and I am not afraid of a
truly independent third-party analysis. Let’s do a little honest science
here, and “let the chips fall where they may.” -- Douglas P. Horne

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I personally can provide some circumstantial verification of this story.
In
1976, I as a young woman was on special mission with my religious order
in Dallas, Texas, when informed by one of my friends there -- an
generous gay antiques dealer -- that the JFK presidential limousine
would be on public display in Dallas for a day in front of his business
that weekend, on a Saturday. He said he would phone me whenever it
arrived, and give me a private showing of it before it was publicly
displayed. Then, on the Friday evening just before the limousine was to
be displayed, my friend the antiques dealer called, sounding very
upset. He said that the car had just been confiscated by the National
Archives, and was on its way back to Washington DC; hence the weekend
exhibit had been suddenly canceled. The timing of this seems to
coincide with Charles Taylor's apparently perjured statement about the
position/existence of the windshield bullet hole immediately after he
had supposedly reexamined it at the National Archives in 1976. -- REC
