Johnny Roselli: the JFK Shooter in the Storm Drain?

(Above left, Johnny Roselli montage, above right is a copy(click to enlarge) of the Towner Photo with the locations of several of the JFK shooters demarcated.  The middle item is a screen capture from the Malcolm Couch Film showing the storm drain in question.  The below left photo is of a Remington XP-100 Fireball handgun similar to the one Johnny Roselli may have used in the JFK assassination.  The below right photo shows the amount of repaving done after the JFK assassination to obscure the storm drain location.)

‘Roselli laughed when hearing that Oswald was the sole assassin of President Kennedy.’ –Larry Hancock, Someone Would Have Talked, 2010.

‘Roselli bragged to the source, who was a made man in La Cosa Nostra, that Roselli had shot at and may have killed John Kennedy…Roselli and his men then finished the job from the sewer drain and the grassy knoll while the police and witnesses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.’ – M. Wesley Swearingen, To Kill A President, 2008.

‘Before he died, Roselli had reportedly informed the Government that he believed his former associates in the Castro assassination plots had gone on to murder President Kennedy.’ Anthony Summers, Conspiracy, 1980.

‘Roselli is another bad-ass. Johnny was Sam’s hit man before going to Hollywood and taking over the movie industry. He was in Dallas for the hit.’ – M. Wesley Swearingen, To Kill A President, 2008.

‘I described it as though someone was shooting a revolver into a hard object – it seemed to have some type of an echo.’ – Secret Service Agent Clint Hill in Donald T. Phillips, A Deeper, Darker Truth, 2009.

‘The origination point of that bullet corresponds exactly to the location of the storm sewer drain at the base of the steps on the north side of Elm Street…The assassin who fired the fatal headshot was hiding in the storm drain.’ – retired US Steel Engineer Tom Wilson in Donald T. Phillips, A Deeper, Darker Truth, 2009.

‘A knowledgeable person, not given to reckless theories, told me the shooter escaped through the sewer that ended at the wooden fence…They then, reportedly, were flown to Houston, where they boarded a Cubana Airlines flight for Havana.’ – Chauncey Holt & Wim. Dankbaar, Self-Portrait of A Scoundrel, 2013.

‘Looking in his rearview mirror, he(newsman Sam Pate) saw the presidential limousine slow down as it came to the curve in front of the grassy knoll. Then he observed a puff of smoke come from the storm sewer…Pete Lucas came up to Pate and told him that the man who killed President Kennedy had gotten away. Lucas went on to say that the assassin’s name was Bruno(a/k/a Johnny Roselli), that he was short and stocky, and that he had been positioned in the storm sewer and “blew Kennedy away with a .45 automatic.”’– Donald T. Phillips, A Deeper, Darker Truth, 2009.

‘The shocked Pate continued to listen as Lucas further told him that ‘Bruno’ had made his escape through the sewer, emerging at a point near the Post Office, and then got into a car which drove him to the airport for a flight out of town. ‘Bruno’, he said, was from Chicago and an organized crime associate of Jack Ruby. Lucas did not say how he came upon this information, but Pate knew that he was a friend of Ruby.’ – Donald T. Phillips, A Deeper, Darker Truth, 2009.

‘Perhaps he(Roselli) was also the one man who could implicate Trafficante and the CIA in the murder of Mooney(Sam) Giancana, and even more damning, in the assassination of the President of the United States and his presidential-hopeful brother.’– Sam & Chuck Giancana, Double Cross, 1991.

‘What he did say had the Committee enthralled, and nervous enough not to go any further. However, when the committee finally decided near the end of its term that it had come across elements that might connect with the JFK assassination, Roselli was called a third time. At that point, he stopped talking. That decision did not prevent someone from playing it safe and silencing him. He was brutally murdered.’ – Larry Hancock, Someone Would Have Talked, 2010.

*************************************************************************************

This blogger encountered Johnny Roselli’s claim that he fired the final, fatal shot into JFK’s head from the Dealey Plaza storm drain at the foot of the grassy knoll some years back and scoffed at it as some sort of disinformation, but it has started to seem more plausible after further review. This blog would be remiss without it.  (UPDATE: Johnny Roselli’s manhole location has been moved over on the labeled Towner Photo.  I had mistaken a shaded piece of curb as the sewer opening.  It is corrected as of 11/23/13.)

John ‘Handsome Johnny’ Roselli(a/k/a Filippo Sacco) was an Organized Crime ‘liaison’ and ‘strategist’ who ran with the likes of Sam Giancana, Meyer Lansky, Santo Trafficante, Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra, Tony Accardo, Moe Dalitz, Richard Cain, Jack Ruby and Carlos Marcello. He also had numerous CIA buddies and acquaintances from ‘the Agency’ including David Sanchez Morales, Tracy Barnes and William Harvey from the Mafia and CIA’s collaborative efforts to kill Fidel Castro in the years prior to the JFK assassination.

Sometime in the early 1970’s, Roselli bragged to then fellow prison inmate Bill Bonanno that he had been the shooter who finished off the badly wounded JFK from a storm drain on Elm Street. JFK had been hit by several bullets in the back and throat and once in the chest, but was still clinging to life until Johnny Roselli finished him off with a near point-blank shot to the right temple as the limo slowed to a crawl for the kill shot.

Throughout the JFK assassination literature there is mention of the use of a special, futuristic, prototype handgun called the Remington Fireball XP-100. This weapon was apparently manufactured to produce the lethal power and accuracy of a rifle in a portable handgun format. None of the JFK shooters mentioned on this blog: Richard Cain and Charles Nicolletti in the TSBD, Loran Hall in the Dal Tex Building, Charles Rogers, Charles Harrelson, Roscoe White and Bernard Barker on the Grassy Knoll area, nor Harry Weatherford on the roof of the County Records Building, would have been pressed for space from their shooting vantage points.  (‘Wow, that’s a lot of gunmen and shots fired,’ you say?  If one throws out Arlen Specter’s ridiculous, single, magic bullet wounding JFK and Governor Connally repeatedly and assumes that each wound came from a separate bullet, then 6 wounds in JFK plus 3 wounds in Connally plus 3+ missed shots adds up to 12+ shots fired!)

The aforementioned JFK shooters would not have needed the Fireball XP-100 when regular long barreled rifles would have sufficed. One spot where space would truly have been at a premium, however, would have been under the manhole cover in the Dealey Plaza storm drain. Here the compact yet lethal Fireball XP-100 handgun would have been the perfect choice of weapon for the task given to Johnny Roselli.  It is also interesting to note that the (altered) Zapruder Film conveniently scrolls on a slight angle which cuts off the area where Roselli and his pistol’s smoke plume would have been located during the motorcade!  Was he edited out of the altered Zapruder Film versions the public has been allowed to see?

Roselli was flown into Dallas prior to the JFK assassination by a man named Tosh Plumlee. Mr. Plumlee was a CIA pilot who claims that he was told he would be flying a ‘JFK Assassination Abort Team’ to Dallas to stop the assassination from happening. In hindsight, Mr. Plumlee may have been misled into unwittingly flying JFK’s assassins to Dallas for a ‘JFK Presidency Abort Team’ instead!

Years later, in the 1970’s, the CIA and the Organized Criminals deemed ‘too valuable to kill’ including Lansky, Trafficante and Marcello would begin to purge their earlier JFK assassination co-conspirators such as Giancana, Cain, Roselli, Jimmy Hoffa, and Nicolletti to save their own skins and to prevent any damaging JFK assassination testimony from getting to the American public. Marcello and Trafficante would go on to help the CIA and themselves to immense drug trafficking profits in the 1970’s and 1980’s, some of which were funneled to CIA causes like the Nicaraguan ‘Contras.’

Johnny Roselli’s strangled, stabbed, dismembered corpse floated to the surface of a Miami-area bay in an oil drum on August 7, 1976, in prime Trafficante territory. At the time of his death Johnny Roselli had been talking behind closed doors with the US Government’s Church Committee, a forerunner to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, which investigated abuses of power by the CIA and the intelligence community.

Retired US Steel engineer turned JFK assassination researcher, Tom Wilson, deduced that the final, fatal, headshot which entered JFK’s right temple came from the lower right front at a trajectory not possible from the Grassy Knoll area from his photonic imaging studies as presented in a A Deeper, Darker Truth. Additionally, a Dallas news reporter named Sam Pate who was in a TV crew car in front of JFK’s limo also noticed what he thought was a puff of smoke arising from the storm drain as he glanced into his rear view mirror during the chaos of the assassination. Mr. Pate would go on to be fired shortly thereafter and later survived two separate car bomb attempts on his life for what he saw that day!

The Mary Moorman Photo

  

Above Left the Mary Moorman photo; above Right is a magnified image from the grassy knoll area in the Moorman photo.  Below Left is Mary Moorman, Below Middle is the Cancellare photo of the crowd seconds/moments after the assassination; Below Right is an enlargement of Mary Moorman and James Featherstone from the same Cancellare photo.

       

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 2^nd 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.

also:

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:

Roscoe White: Shooter of JFK, J.D. Tippit and member of the ‘JFK Witness Elimination Team’

Roscoe White above with and without toupee; Roscoe White’s wife, Geneva, with Jack Ruby below left.  Below right is Roscoe White’s scrapbook clipping of his shooting spot behind the picket fence from the Moorman photo.  There is a faded ‘x’ penciled in the upper left corner of the photo:

   

‘Honey, it’s like war. The president is a national security threat. If I don’t do it, we’ll be in a nuclear war very soon…matters were taken out of our hands a long time ago.’ – Roscoe White 11/21/63

‘Kennedy has been a pretty good president, but he has to die.  He didn’t carry out his own orders.  If I don’t carry out my orders, I’ll have to die, too.’-Roscoe White to his pastor, Jack Shaw, 1971

‘I was Mandarin, the man behind the stockade fence who fired two shots. ’ –Roscoe White’s diary

‘The diary said after my father shot the President he handed his 7.65 Mauser to the man standing beside him, hurled over the fence, took the film from the military man, whirled around the fence and went through the parking lot.’ –Ricky White, 1990

‘She had seen Roscoe near the fence soon after the shots were fired. And, he saw her. Maybe that’s why she never heard from the police.’ –witness Beverly Oliver, Nightmare in Dallas, 1994.

‘The CIA had selected White and Tippit(sent in separate cars, with Billy Seymour lying down in the backseat of Roscoe White’s vehicle to keep from being spotted)…Under the guise of self-defense and in the line of duty they were to murder the ‘lone gunman.’  However, Tippit had wavered…allowing Oswald to escape.  Thus, White had been forced to kill his partner.’ – Sam Giancana and Chuck Giancana, Double Cross, 1991

‘What he (Ricky White)found were his father’s Marine Corps dog tags, negatives of old family photographs, a faded green textbook with newspaper pictures pasted over the pages, and three cables covered in protective plastic. The cables professed to be orders from Naval intelligence, addressed to Mandarin, using Roscoe White’s serial number. A cable dated October 1963 instructed Mandarin that his next assignment was “to eliminate a national security threat to worldwide peace”                                                                                  

…The green book, or the witness-elimination book, as it came to be called…was some sort of ghoulish scrapbook, apparently compiled at random and embellished with numerical code and hieroglyphics. Inside the front cover was his father’s(Roscoe White’s) name and serial number, and the words “players or witnesses.” Pasted to each page were old newspaper photographs. Some were easily identifiable—Ruby, Oswald, Jack and Robert Kennedy—but others were faces without names. ..Written below (one) picture were the words, “Big Mouth you talked after all.” On another page was a copy of the famous Mary Moorman photograph, taken at the instant the president’s head was blown open. An X drawn across a spot behind the stockade fence marked the place where Mandarin would have stood. Below the picture were these words: “Mandarin kills K uses 7.65 mauser in assassination.”‘– Gary Cartwright, ‘I was Mandarin,’ Texas Monthly , 1990.

**************************************************************

Government shills and ‘debunkers’ say that Roscoe White’s tale of shooting JFK, J.D. Tippit and functioning as a member of the JFK witness elimination program has been debunked, but this is not the case, and many facts remain unchallenged.  These naïve/dishonest types hope that investigators might be fooled into ‘throwing the baby out with the bathwater’ here in Roscoe White’s case.

In the early 1990’s Sam Giancana’s memoirs were published in a book called Double Cross which named Roscoe White as Tippit’s killer.  Some time earlier, a man named Ricky White came upon the scene with his tale of finding out that his deceased father had participated in the JFK assassination.  Ricky White told the tale of finding his dead father’s diary and mementos which implicated his father, Roscoe White, in the dead man’s own words and handwriting.  Ricky White went on to accuse the FBI of stealing the diary from him while they investigated the matter so that he could not present it to the public.

Sometime later, a dishonest JFK researcher named Joe H. West discovered that Ricky’s mother and Roscoe White’s widow, Geneva White, was in desperate need of money for her medical bills.  Evidently, under the advice of Mr. West, Mrs. White concocted a bogus 2^nd diary of Roscoe White in the hopes of financial gain.  This work was revealed as a hoax shortly thereafter and was used to discredit Ricky White’s factual account of his father’s authentic diary thereafter.   Ricky White played no part in the bogus 2^nd diary scheme and actually pointed out that its weepy tone and handwriting were much different than the genuine diary of Roscoe White.

Mr. West would go on to work on the bogus/embellished tale of James Files in which Files claimed to have killed JFK from the grassy knoll with a special prototype weapon called the Remington Fireball.  No one can corroborate James Files’ claims, however, unlike the other JFK conspirators featured on this blog.  At worst Files may not have been in Dallas at all or at best he has embellished his lesser support role in the assassination into something greater than it truly was.(Files may have been a driver, radio person or gun disposal person in the plot.)  Additionally Mr. Files named an incorrect JD Tippit shooter!

After the JFK assassination there were dozens of witnesses who would need to be bribed, blackmailed, co-opted, ignored, institutionalized, threatened or murdered to keep the ‘lone gunman’ story straight.  Roscoe White, along with the aforementioned dirty mortician/embalmer John Liggett and LBJ goon Mac Wallace likely were assigned to the ‘JFK Witness Elimination Team’ to take care of those who would not go along with the Media and Warren Commission’s version of events.

Some pertinent Roscoe White facts which still stand:

-Lee Harvey Oswald and White had been part of the same Marine unit and served together at least 3 separate bases previously.

-The Whites and the Oswalds both moved to Dallas in 1963.

-Roscoe White’s wife and Ricky White’s mother Geneva White worked for Jack Ruby in 1963 at the Carousel Club.

-Roscoe White was a member of the Dallas Police Force in 1963 and was a photographic expert.

-White worked across the street from Officer J.D. Tippit.

-The Whites prospered financially immediately after the JFK assassination.

-Roscoe White was killed in a mysterious accident thought to have been a deliberately rigged homicide.  Reverend Jack Shaw said White told him ‘the explosion was no accident,’ and that, ‘he saw a man running from the fire,’ before he died in 1971.

-On his deathbed Roscoe White admitted to his pastor that he had killed several people under contract for the CIA in the USA and abroad.

-Roscoe White had an original copy of the infamous Oswald backyard photo with rifle, pistol and Communist paraphernalia and an Oswald autopsy photo in his own personal effects.  (Was Oswald’s head superimposed on a picture of Roscoe White for this damning piece of evidence?  Or did mole/informant Oswald merely take the picture in the course of following numerous other self-incriminating actions from his CIA handlers?)

-Mobster Sam Giancana named Roscoe White as J.D. Tippit’s killer to his brother Chuck in the mid 1970’s.  Sam Giancana’s memoirs were not published until 1992.

Below is a documentary called ‘Evidence of Revision.’ It contains a segment on Roscoe White from 15:39 to 30:45 in the clip:

Below is another clip of Ricky White discussing his father’s tale with a younger, more-inquisitive, Bill O’Reilly and a disinformation specialist named Harold Weisberg.  Evidently, Mr Weisberg’s role was to complain about other JFK conspiracies which he personally did not endorse, while promoting his own personal conspiracy conclusions.

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:

bio of Orville Nix:

Dan Rather lies to Americans about the JFK Assassination

JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963.  The Zapruder film was not available to the American public until the mid 1970’s. Until then they had to take the word of people like Dan Rather as to what happened that day. Rather was one of a few people who had a viewing of the Zapruder Film before it was bought and locked away from the American public by Life Magazine. Once Americans were finally allowed to see the Zapruder footage of JFK’s assassination, Rather would be proven a liar for his earlier comments.

The Zapruder Film was finally aired for American TV viewers in 1975 on a late night talk show thanks to the efforts of unwitting JFK sleuth…..Geraldo Rivera?  The public airing of this footage killed the Warren Commission’s earlier whitewash efforts and necessitated the House Select Committee on Assassinations whitewash of the late 1970’s.

The Zapruder Film

This video shows JFK’s head being blown off by a shot from the right front(grassy knoll/picket fence/storm drain area).  It also shows that the limo driver did not shoot JFK as some disinformation artists like William Cooper have claimed. The limo did slow down enough so that the shooters could get good shots at JFK though…

Some have speculated that Abraham Zapruder was tipped off that something big was going to happen that day in Dallas and that he should be there to record the events for the sake of posterity.  Other photos and film from the JFK assassination show that Zapruder could not have been more than 20-50 feet from the shooters, himself and was literally in their midst! It would have been impossible for him not to have seen any of the shooters or smelled the gunpowder from their weapons behind the adjacent picket fence/grassy knoll from his vantage point before, during or after the shooting.

However:

‘It now appears that the Zapruder film of the Kennedy Assassination in the National Archives is likely an altered film-not an out of camera original, as most people assumed for well over 30 years.  It also appears that the alteration occurred at a classified CIA laboratory run for the agency by Kodak in Rochester, New York, at Kodak’s main industrial plant and headquarters.’ – Douglas P. Horne, Former Chief Analyst for Military Records, Assassination Records Review Board, 2009

Nowadays, many researchers believe that even the Zapruder Film, once thought to have been the Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination, has been altered from its original form. They assert that the film was tampered with to obscure the true timing of the event, JFK’s true headwound and flying brain debris(from a baseball sized exit wound on the back right portion of his head), and the near or complete stoppage of the presidential limo so that the shooters could finish off JFK.

Witness Mary Moorman was actually in two separate places at once (which were several feet apart) when researchers tried to re-create her coordinates using her Polaroid photo and the Zapruder Film for comparison, further implying that one of the films has, indeed, been altered.  Additionally, 59 separate witnesses including several Dallas police officers, reported a stoppage or near stoppage of the Presidential limo, which the Zapruder Film does not show!   Still others have speculated that the Zapruder film was further altered to edit out the presence of a gunman(Johnny Roselli) and a puff of smoke coming from that gunman’s weapon from the storm drain on Elm Street near the grassy knoll.

the clip below examines some of the anomalies in the Zapruder film:
