The Towner Photo

Towner uncropped

Jim Towner took his wife, Pat, and daughter, Tina, to see JFK’s motorcade in Dallas that fateful November 22nd.  Tina Towner used the family movie camera to capture footage of the motorcade while her father snapped some still photographs of the day’s events including one in the crucial moments after the assassination.  The Towner #3 Photograph, as it has come to be known, captured a look at the grassy knoll and picket fence area at a time estimated to be 60-120 seconds after the assassination which confirms many details from witnesses.

If the reader clicks to enlarge the above photo, one can see that two (conspirator) cops have denied access to the grassy knoll area so that the shooters previously stationed there (Charles Rogers, Charles Harrelson and Roscoe White) could run to a stopped freight train to hide after the assassination.  Rogers and Harrelson crawled under the stopped train and boarded a pre-determined car which was unlocked despite having the appearance of a locked and sealed car along with Chauncey Holt.  Roscoe White then assumed the role of an honest policeman who had been watching the railroad area post-assassination and had not seen anything suspicious.

With access to the critical grassy knoll area denied, the crowd next turned and ran to the intersection of the triple overpass and picket fence area.  Here a CIA man named Bernard Barker was encountered at the end of a storm drain at the end of the railroad triple overpass.  Barker was confronted by Dallas PD’s Joe M. Smith, Seymour Weitzman and an onrushing crowd but was able to placate them with his (phony) Secret Service badge.  Barker’s alleged shooting location would have corresponded with a throat wound to JFK.

The Towner# 3 Photo has often been reproduced in cropped formats in the past.  If the viewer clicks on the photo for enlargement and looks at the 3 o’clock position of the photo, one can see what appears to be a man with something that resembles a rifle!  This would have been the area where Charles Harrelson had fired from in accordance with the Nix film.   Authors John R. Craig and Philip A. Rogers mentioned in The Man on the Grassy Knoll that the JFK assassination rifles were given to non-shooters for disposal purposes for the sake of muddying the water evidence-wise, and so that none of the shooters would literally be caught with smoking guns.

Mary Moorman was a 31 year old Dallas resident who went to see the JFK motorcade with her friend Jean Hill on November 22, 1963.  Moorman snapped a Polaroid photograph of the JFK limousine as the assassins’ bullets hit JFK.  Her photograph shows a wounded JFK as well as some of the grassy knoll area in the background.  Moorman and Hill spoke of being harassed by a newspaperman named James Featherstone immediately after the assassination.  The FBI took Moorman’s Polaroids of the JFK motorcade and returned them several weeks later ‘mutilated,’ including a thumbprint which may have been strategically placed to cover-up the engaged red brake-lights of the JFK limo during the shots.  In the face of this pressure, Mary Moorman decided to go along with the likes of Arlen Specter and the Warren Commission for her own safety, and has said very little over the years.  She was excused from testifying to the Warren Commission for an ankle injury of all things.

Over the years, as science and photographic technology have improved, the Moorman photo has been enlarged in the search for critical new details.  In the early 1980’s, researchers Gary Mack and Jack White came to the conclusion that the Moorman photo revealed the images of several figures on the Grassy Knoll.  White flew to MIT where the Moorman photo was subjected to computer enhancement which affirmed their theory.  According to author Jim Marrs in Crossfire, ‘they were told without question that the photo showed a man firing a rifle.  The next day however the chairman of the MIT department involved suddenly gave all materials back to them, and with no explanation, told them the school would no longer participate in any study of the photo.’

Figures of a man in a police uniform dubbed, ‘Badge man’ with a ‘Railroad man’ alongside him can be seen behind the picket fence area with the figure of a soldier in summer uniform some distance in front of them.  This blogger asserts that these 3 individuals were Gordon Arnold , Charles Rogers as ‘Badge man’ and perhaps James Files as the ‘Railroad man’ (spotter/gun disposer).  Roscoe White and JD Tippit were behind the fence as well, but somewhat further down to Rogers and Files’ right side.  Evidently, the conspirators needed as many shooting angles as possible to kill JFK without hitting the First Lady with the exiting bullets.  (Re: James Files, there was a 2nd phony ‘Railroad man’ spotted by witness Ed Hoffman, disposing of a rifle which had been fired at JFK by a phony Secret Service man(Bernard Barker) wearing a suit where the picket fence met the triple underpass.  James Files could have been either of these ‘Railroad men’ conspirators…)

Gordon Arnold was the military man.  He was not an actual conspirator in the assassination despite being caught in the crossfire.  He spoke of diving for cover before being accosted by 2 cops after the shooting was over.  One of the cops kicked Arnold and took his camera film, which corroborates Roscoe White’s account of leaping over the fence and kicking a military man before taking his film and running towards the railroad parking lot.  Mr. Arnold’s presence on the Grassy Knoll in uniform that day was confirmed by motorcade passenger Ralph Yarborough who noted Mr. Arnold’s military inspired duck and cover technique as bullets flew over his position.

Polaroid photos like Ms. Moorman’s are/were harder to forge and alter than other films taken that day because of their instantaneous development.  It is for this reason that the Moorman photo serves as a Rosetta Stone which has allowed researchers to determine whether the Zapruder, Nix and Muchmore films depict altered frames.   Moorman’s photograph contradicts the Zapruder Film and shows that we have been seeing altered copies of that film.  Mary Moorman’s photographic field of view shows her to be in one place while the Zapruder film has her in another place several feet away.  She would literally have to be in 2 places at the same time for this to be!

Astute researchers have also pointed out the fact that the Zapruder Film shows Ms. Moorman wearing white shoes while other films of the day’s events show her in dark shoes!  Additionally, the Zapruder Film shows Mary Moorman on the grass of the plaza, while she recalled stepping out into the street, itself.  A man in the back of a pick-up truck in the stopped traffic on the opposite side of the road from JFK’s limo has also been edited out of copies of Zapruder Film, as well.  Finally, further contradicting the authenticity of the Zapruder Film are the accounts of 59 separate witnesses who recalled that the limo stopped or came to a near stop (so that the shooters could finish off JFK).  These facts establish that the Zapruder Film cannot be used to accurately time or assess the assassination since it was clearly altered.

The photonic imaging research of former US Steel engineer, Tom Wilson, also uncovered evidence that reprints of the Moorman photo may have been altered to conceal a right rear baseball sized exit wound on JFK’s head.  Below is a photo of Wilson’s photo analysis of JFK’s head from the Moorman photo:

Charles Rogers: Shooter of JFK and MLK?

Charles Rogers: Shooter of JFK and MLK?

The above Left picture shows an artist’s depiction of the mysterious ‘Raoul’ based on James Earl Ray’s description. Ray was a small time crook who said that ‘Raoul’ framed him for Martin Luther King’s assassination on April 4th 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.

The above Right photo shows the face of the ‘short tramp’ arrested in a railroad boxcar after the JFK assassination. This individual was ultimately identified as Charles Rogers, and was known to have gone by several aliases which included ‘Richard Montoya’ “Charles Robeson’ ‘Charles Montoya’ ‘Carlos Rojas’ and ‘Frenchy’ among others.  Rogers has not been seen or heard from officially since 1965 after police found the dissected remains of his parents in the refrigerator of their Houston home.  The Man on the Grassy Knoll authors John R. Craig and Philip A. Rogers theorized that the killings may have been caused by Mr. Rogers’ mother confronting her son about his activities during the JFK assassination and his subsequent several month disappearance thereafter in which he apparently fled to South America.

Charles Rogers was legally declared dead in 1975.  Before his death in 2007, longtime CIA Spook and convicted Watergate burglar, E. Howard Hunt, recalled a ‘French Gunman Grassy Knoll’ in his own personal, hierarchical, chart of fellow JFK assassination conspirators.

Chauncey Holt: I brought Phony Secret Service credentials to Dallas for the JFK Conspirators

‘We had been told an incident was going to be created which could be laid at the door of pro-Castro Cubans. The word attempted assassination was never used…It was such an elaborate set up. When you think back, I couldn’t possibly have been so duped. When we saw him on TV and he said, “I’m just a patsy!” I tell you the word really rang home.’ – Chauncey Holt 1991

In the above video, Chauncey Marvin Holt expresses his feelings of remorse and anger about what happened to framed, sacrificed patsy, Oswald.  Holt was a criminal renaissance man who dabbled in counterfeiting, forgery, accounting fraud, weapons testing and modifications and other criminal schemes for Meyer Lansky and the CIA during his career.  He was picked up with Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers as the ‘3 Tramps’ arrested in a railroad car and quietly released by Dallas PD a few hours after the JFK assassination.

In a long, fascinating 1991 interview Holt revealed some startling new facts about the JFK assassination:

-Holt worked at a (CIA & Meyer Lansky-financed) California company called LASCO which made badges for law enforcement personnel throughout the country

-on November 15th 1963 orders came through for 10-15 sets of phony Secret Service badges, credentials and lapel pins to be created and brought to Dallas for November 21st.

-Holt was also told to bring a shipment of specially made ammunition and handguns equipped with silencers to Dallas

-Holt drove to Dallas to deliver the goods in a car with CIA pilot, James J. Canty and mobsters Leo Moceri and Charles Nicoletti and did not actually make it to Dallas until the morning of November 22 due to some car and weather problems.

-Holt was ordered to leave the phony Secret Service credentials in a pickup truck parked near the railroad area in Dealey Plaza, concluding his delivery mission.

-Holt was told that there would be some sort of disturbance during the JFK visit to Dallas which would be blamed on Pro-Castro supporters for the CIA/Organized Crime’s political benefit and that he could flee to a specifically marked, unlocked railroad car if things got too wild after the planned incident.

-Holt took a walk around Dealey Plaza before JFK’s motorcade came through and noticed several professional hitmen he had encountered in prior CIA/Organized Crime activities

-after the shooting and the related chaos ensued, Holt encountered Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers and the group proceeded to find the special railroad car to hide in  (Holt confirmed that there were phony IDs made for Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers in his shipment.)  The trio hid in the car for almost 2 hours listening to police radio broadcasts on a state of the art walkie-talkie Holt had been given, before police finally opened the door and found them inside.

-the ‘3 Tramps’ were taken into Dallas PD custody where they were not handcuffed, frisked, interrogated, fingerprinted or jailed.  Eventually an FBI man named Gordon Shanklin told them they were free to go. (Shanklin also had his FBI underling James Hosty interview Oswald while he was in custody prior to his assassination by Jack Ruby. Hosty never said or produced notes as to what Oswald told him.  Many now surmise that Hosty was Oswald’s FBI handler and that informant Oswald was feeding him details of the JFK assassination plot he had infiltrated and hoped to thwart.)

-Holt left police custody and hopped a flight out of Dallas with James Canty from nearby Redbird Airport en route back to California

-he was imprisoned under an alias in the 1970’s so that the House Committee on Assassinations could not find him to call him to testify (or to have been killed with numerous other JFK players and witnesses before they could tell their tales!)

Finally:

Some have disputed Mr. Holt’s claim that he was the ‘old tramp’ from the JFK assassination, but check out what happens when one of Mr. Holt’s personal family photos is superimposed on the ‘3 Tramps’ photo.

Here are 3 links which detail Holt’s claim of being the JFK assassination’s Phony Secret Service Badge and Credential maker and deliverer:

One of the JFK Shooters: Actor Woody Harrelson’s Dad?

‘We were instructed to prepare certain forged documents for Charles Harrelson, a Dallas racketeer and gunman…A Chevrolet with Arizona plates, drove into the lot, circled the entire area and parked very near the railroad tower.  Almost immediately, Richard Montoya(aka Charles Rogers) and Charles Harrelson approached me.  I had identification and handguns which I was instructed to deliver to them… Harrelson and Montoya strolled away, but not together…Harrelson, Montoya and I were dressed in work clothes, and carried credentials identifying us as undercover agents for the ATF.’– Chauncey Holt and Wim. Daankbaar, Self-portrait of a Scoundrel, 2013.

Charles Harrelson was a major crook in Texas who was ultimately jailed for killing a judge.  He was also picked up, photographed and released as one of the ‘3 Tramps’ in Dealey Plaza that fateful day. Here he speaks of the JFK assassination in a prison interview.  That shooter in this blog’s header photo from the Nix film is probably him!

Was Woody Harrelson’s Hollywood career a payback to Woody’s dad for his service in the JFK Assassination?  Was Oliver Stone laughing in our faces at an inside joke by casting Woody in Natural Born Killers after he made JFK? Woody Harrelson is literally a natural born killer from his dad. (I like some of Woody Harrelson’s movies, but in hindsight, many of his roles could have been played just as easily by Matthew McConaughey or any idiot for that matter!)

also:

Woody Harrelson’s murderer dad got 6 minutes of coverage in an episode of The Men Who Killed Kennedy from the 1980’s!  Charles Harrelson is profiled between 23:20 and 28:30 of this clip.  (Sorry in advance it wasn’t cut into just the Charles Harrelson part, but it is worth a viewing…)

The Orville Nix Film

Orville Nix was an air-conditioning engineer who shot a film of JFK’s motorcade with his camera which actually shows one of the shooters(Charles Harrelson) firing a round at JFK from behind the Picket Fence/Grassy Knoll area!  He turned in his film to the FBI after the assassination only to have it returned to him altered and missing a few frames(the frames which clearly show the shooter and the rifle smoke had to be altered).  Eventually Mr. Nix sold the film to United Press International, after turning down prior offers from Life Magazine and CBS, who promptly hid the fully incriminating footage away from the public for decades!

Orville Nix speaks about his film:
