I t has been nearly 50 years since I braked to a halt because of the traffic that was stopped in my lane as I was about to enter Dealey Plaza that day in November 1963. My car was not quite out from under the Triple Underpass, I sat there for a moment wondering why traffic was stopped, and then got out of my car and walked the three or four short steps into the openness of Dealey Plaza to see why traffic had stopped, when I noticed the Presidents limousine up by the School Book Depository. I then heard the pop of a firecracker.

As I stood there thinking what kind of an idiot would be throwing firecrackers with the President passing by, there was the crack-crack of two high powered rifle shots and I felt something sting me in the face. I did not realize it in that instant, but the sting in the face was caused by debris flying up from a bullet hitting the curb of the street in front of me. That bullet was from a missed shot intended for President John F. Kennedy. It was the start of making my life very interesting.

Over half of all Americans living today had not yet been born in 1963; a boy or girl who was 15 years old when Kennedy was killed is now 65 years old. To bring those of you who are under 65 up to date, I must start with that day, November 22, 1963.

I must tell you that on November 22, 1963, I was a very nave country boy fresh off the farm and fresh out of the Air Force. I was just starting to learn about the big city and getting some street smarts. I did not know it at the time, but being a nave country boy was a blessing in disguise.

I have written this book so present and future researchers and historians may understand what I witnessed, and to tell what I have learned over the past 50 years to be the simple truth of what really happened regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

I am sure I have made an error or two, like a misspelled name or be off a day or two on something. But you must understand I am not a writer, and I will tell you a little secret, when you are writing about something you know something true the words come easy, they flow and you do not have to stop and think up something to say. The facts written in this book are waiting for other researchers and historians to expand on and add their own future discoveries.

I hope every word I have written in this book is put under a microscope and each word, each fact, tested for its accuracy. By putting every word, every fact, under a microscope you will have answered every major question hanging around about the Kennedy assassination and by doing this, you will have learned the truth, just as I did, about what really happened. Most important, you will be able to build on these facts and be able to understand how our Nation has been fooled.

Being slightly injured during the shooting that day in Dealey Plaza, and by speaking up today it is called being a whistle blower when the Warren Commission was about to tell America a big lie. And by living in and around Dallas for the last 50 years, enjoying a good reputation for honesty and for telling it like it is, has resulted in people with secrets about the Kennedy assassination coming to me and confiding in me. Interesting details and facts have fallen into my lap without my having to go look for them.

Coincidence after coincidence has been part of my life. As an example, when I bought my east Texas retirement acres in 2005, I soon found out that a man many claim is Kennedys real assassin, Malcolm Wallace, had been killed three-quarters of a mile down the road. Also I had the good fortune of having the granddaddy of all researchers, Harold Weisberg, to be a close friend and mentor for over thirty-five years until his death in 2002.

The basic facts of this book are not coming from what others have written in the over 2,000 books published about the Kennedy assassination, though I must admit I have read some biographies and history books for background information. And thanks to my wife, I have wound up with a huge library full of assassination books that have been amassed over the years. I do not read these books, I have maybe scanned a chapter or two but I have not read entire books. I am proud of the fact that I have not read these books, the reason being that I knew in the back of my mind that I would write this book some day and I did not want my mind to be overly influenced by anothers thoughts.

In writing this book I have relied mostly on face-to-face conversations and the other (nearly 600) witnesses Warren Commission testimonies contained in the complete 26-volume Warren Commission set. The 26-volume set is not to be confused with the Warren Commissions one volume report. The one volume Warren Report has many problems in its conclusions.

More than once during the first 25 years after the assassination of President Kennedy, Lyndon Johnsons name has popped up as being behind the assassination. I could not and would not accept that accusation; President Johnson was a fellow Texan, and I was proud of Lyndon Johnson for being a fellow Texan and serving as President. I found it impossible to accept as fact that a man who had attained the Presidency of the United States could be a conspirator to murder. Then over a 25-year period starting in 1988, items I could not dismiss came to my attention. Even my childhood hero, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was not the person I thought he was.

As I added it up and put the bits and pieces together, I made a startling discovery. I found that when Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in as President the very same afternoon that President John F. Kennedy was killed on a Dallas street on November 22, 1963 two of the most powerful men in the world, Lyndon Johnson and his buddy J. Edgar Hoover (who handled the cover-up), were now in control of our countrys future.

So, if some poor civilian or Warren Commission lawyer figured out what had really happened in and to America, there was no one to go to, and nothing he or she could do but keep their mouth shut and try to forget what had been learned. It was all over.

The Warren Commission was following the clues laid out for them by J. Edgar Hoover. He outlined the facts for the Commission to investigate. Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone-nut assassin, there were three shots fired, the first shot hit President Kennedy in the back, the second shot hit Governor Connally in the back and the third shot hit President Kennedy in the head killing the President. No conspiracy found, case closed.
