Larry Hancock from SWHT Talks Jack Ruby and Who Remains Important in The JFK Mystery

Finally got to meet my hero Larry Hancock this year at the 2016 November in Dallas Lancer JFK Conference.

I always like Larry because he is someone I can understand and he takes time to explain things.  

One of Larry's best things is that he is able to tell me why one story is important and one may seem important at first but as time goes on the story may become embellished with items other than facts, even though it remains a good story and interesting conversation.

To me just as a regular person that has followed this JFK thing forever and feel it is still the most interesting and important story of the day his words are very appreciated.

Also, Larry is very kind in responding to the regular persons questions.

Listen to Larry on his radio interviews and hear what he has to say about Madeline Brown and James Files.  It is important because their stories make sense and it is easy to grab on to their words.  One can remember those stories when some other important research details fade over time when they are not latched on to the human touch.

Larry told me in the long run these two stories just do not hold up because the facts are plainly not there to support them.

Thanks, Larry, for giving us a heads up in what to pay attention to in this whole confusing JFK thing.

Everyone interested in JFK should think about attending the Lancer November in Dallas Conference.

Seriously, I could have spent all day listening to the experts and researchers takes us on a tour of Dealey Plaza.

Thanks, for all of your hard work, Larry, in putting on this informative conference and telling us about your important information on JFK.

New post on Larry Hancock The Risks of Knowing Jack by Larry Hancock These days ongoing discussions of the JFK assassination tend to focus on either events along Elm Street on that day in Dallas or upon the activities and background of Lee Oswald. It’s even possible to miss the fact that in the earliest days, a great deal of investigative effort was initially focused on Jack Ruby – not simply as Oswald’s killer but as a potential window into the conspiracy which killed President Kennedy. During the months following the murder a number of leads surfaced which suggested that Ruby had prior knowledge of the attack, that his elimination of Oswald was something forced on him by his involvement and that phone calls and visits connecting him to Los Angeles and Los Vegas deserved intense scrutiny. And while the rumors of mysterious deaths related to the Kennedy assassination are often no more than gossip or coincidence, there is no doubt that the investigators and reporters who became too interested in Ruby, especially those who became devoted to ferreting out his true connections, appear to have been uniquely at risk. Most people would be surprised to realize that the Warren Commission itself fielded only two field investigators reporting directly to it. They might be even more surprised to know that both were dismissed for being overzealous in pursuing connections related to Jack Ruby. But there were much greater risks than losing a job, especially for those who knew Jack and had heard certain passing remarks before the assassination – remarks which suddenly had a new and sinister meaning as of the afternoon of November 22, 1963.  Several individuals may well have lost their lives over just that – ranging from women who worked for him at the Carousel Club (although some of those fled for their lives within days and stayed successfully out of sight for years and even decades), to both local and national reporters who decided to dig deeply into his connections. There certainly were people who heard Ruby gossiping before the assassination – about something explosive happening in Dallas during the President’s visit. In some instances they managed to stay out of the limelight, one instance of that can be found in an IRS informant close to Ruby who reported being invited downtown by Jack, to watch the “fireworks” during the motorcade. In some cases those individuals became too visible and died under mysterious circumstances – one young woman recorded as having hung herself in a holding cell in Dallas, a young Dallas vice beat reporter on a personal crusade found dead after being attacked in his apartment, a woman who had warned individuals of the Dallas attack later run over and left by the side of a road in Louisiana and finally nationally known investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen – who had declared she would run the conspiracy to the ground after haven spoken to Ruby during his trial in Dallas. I write about most of these individuals in detail in Someone Would Have Talked, presenting the case that Ruby’s connections led back to the west coast and to Johnny Roselli, who arranged for Ruby’s legal defense with a phone call to Melvin Belli’s law partner the weekend after the assassination. The Ruby story is a key one, too often ignored these days. However at last month’s Dallas conference, two speakers presented on their new books – one (Fallen Petals, by her son) dealing with the life of Rose Cherami and the second (The Reporter That Knew Too Much by Mark Shaw) exploring Kilgallen’s initial investigation and why it turned fatal for her. If you are interested in the Kennedy assassination and have not explored Jack Ruby in depth, you are missing a key lead.  It was a lead that the Dallas Police and the Warren Commission chose to avoid but one which was significant enough to get a number of people killed – digging into Jack Ruby was risky business, suggesting that Jack represented a real threat in terms of exposing the conspiracy.

Mary Pinchot Meyer Expert Peter Janney Talks CIA JFK and The Cover-Up of The Century

Once Peter Janney starts talking about his book Mary's Mosaic and his first hand knowledge of Mary Pinchot Meyer it is almost impossible to get this compelling story out of your mind.

Seriously, not many people today really knew the individuals involved in the John F. Kennedy murder mystery.

This man not only grew up as a friend and neighbor of Mary Meyer but he also had a relationship with her son.

Peter Janney's father was a grand poo-bah in the CIA.

His father either had a hand in or direct knowledge of the events that happened on that fateful day in Dallas November 22, 1963.  Perhaps more correctly stated his father had knowledge of the cover-up.

Listen to him chat about his story and see what your take is--it is impossible not to be influenced by his unique relationship with Mary as she comforted him as a mother as his own parents were often emotionally absent.

No, this man has a lot to offer and as a JFK assassination follower for over 50 years it is as if he is filling in some of the missing pieces of the puzzle as to who JFK was; a very great man but with some definite weaknesses and someone who had a world vision for our country.

He goes on to explain JFK was saddled by a raucous group of CIA big wigs that did no want to let go of their power or accept Kennedy's idea of world peace.

Peter Janney grew up with Mary Meyer and he obviously loved and had great respect for this beautiful lady.  He presents a picture of Mary with a personal friendship and ultimate gratitude for this forward thinking lady.

Many can relate to parents that have an alternative motive other than the welfare of their children. Sadly, he knew something was going on but in the end it took a lot of work and research to find out exactly what his father had as a goal.

As a psychologist as he further defines JFK and some of his addictions it is refreshing because some of the antics of the beloved president are hard for the average citizen to hear and understand.

The JFK story is human nature all the way around but it is nice to have a professional try and explain some of these mysterious actions to us.

Thank you Peter Janney for taking the time and the hard work for telling us a little bit about your life and your relationship with those who directly affected John Kennedy.

Your life was directly affected by John Kennedy.

I hope you will tell us more as time goes on--your life story is important to all of us and the history of the world.

If anyone is at all interested in the JFK assassination the JFK Lancer November in Dallas Conference is well worth the trip.  I could have spent all day listening to the experts talk and give us their take on things as we toured Dealey Plaza after the conference.  One cannot leave that event without an appreciation for all of the hard work many individuals have put in to try to get to the truth of what actually happened on that day in November of 1963.

Casey Quinlan: Turns The Heat Up On the Conversation--JFK

Hats off to JFK Assassination researcher and author Casey Quinlan--expert at turning up the heat and firing up interest and attention on this often forgotten subject.

Well, he has to, he is a high school teacher and believe it or not the kids don't always want to listen.

He has to be an entertainer.


But isn't that the truth for all of us.............

Living in the 30 second take away world how are we still going to get the average citizen to listen the the most important murder mystery of the last century.

It is like stars in the sky--there is just too much minor information for the average individual to see--where do I focus.

Don't get me wrong.  The research is extremely important.  "It is science and the truth has to come out,"  that is what one JFK 2016 Lancer Conference attendee told me.  I was lucky enough to sit at his table.  "I am a scientist, that is what we deal in, the truth and it has to come out and that is research."

"You can't deny the truth."

The folks that were at the conference this year were impressive in their knowledge.


Seriously, for me, just a regular person that has been interested in the JFK assassination forever--I get mixed up in the details.  It has to be a little more straight forward.

Here is where Casey Quinlan comes in.  An Excellent speaker he makes everything interesting as he tells about the reasons and factions that set an environment and attitude for the demise of JFK.

Actually, he talked a language that I could understand.  Call him Oliver Stone but he made a story that I could remember.

So here's the thing for me........honoring the tremendous research and hard work put into the JFK murder mystery but at the end of the day the facts have to be sold to the American public.

Enter Roger Craig.........

His story is jaw dropping and compelling.....You can't get him out of your mind.

Take the example of Ed Hoffman--Casey Quinlan co-authored a book on this very important witness.

Is it important to humanize the story to get the message across.

It takes so many talented interested individuals to get this story out.

We can't forget it and thank you to Casey Quinlan to take time to educate the high school kids  and me about this horrible event--the assassination of our President.

There is almost nothing more important.

More than one person at the conference mentioned in chatting they hoped more young people would be there.  Everyone is dying and the story will be lost.

Point well taken.

Some of us may have a short attention span but we are still interested.

Thanks, Casey, for your hard work--I felt so lucky to get to talk to an actual JFK researcher.  Thank you for taking time to chat with me.


Go Shockers!

Retracing The Fatal Shot: The Other Grassy Knoll--The Experts TalkBlood Spatter at JFK Lancer 2016 November In Dallas

Viewing the "grassy knoll" from the other grassy knoll on the other side of Dealey Plaza

Blood Spatter expert, Sherry Fiester believes the fatal shot came from this area, this is the other grassy knoll on the other side of the plaza

Attending the JFK Lancer November in Dallas Conference 2016 offered many opportunities.  

One of the best things about the symposium was the tour of Dealey Plaza on Sunday and we had several experts to show us around and offer their opinion of the events that took place on the fateful day in November of 1963.

As Chris Gallop took us around we went from the famous picket fence area of the grassy knoll across the railroad bridge where the three tramps were found and circled all the way over to the other grassy knoll completely on the other side of Dealey Plaza.

Standing on the railroad bridge was really exciting.  After seeing the bridge and hearing about it in so many shows I could not believe that I was actually standing in that place.

Chris told us that criminologist and blood spatter expert Sherry Fiester believes that the fatal shot came from this area in the picture above.  He said he really cannot go against Sherry's philosophy as she proved her case so well in her book "Enemy Of The Truth."

Sherry Fiester worked for many years as a criminal investigator, blood spatter and the science of murder was her speciality.

Being a fan of Sherry Fiester's it is easy to enjoy her conversation as she often guests on radio shows discussing the murder and the crime scene investigation of JFK.

Thanks, Chris Gallop, for taking time to show us around Dealey Plaza and sharing your expert knowledge with our group.

The Lancer Conference was really well worth the trip.

Gary Shaw Honored at 2016 JFK Lancer November In Dallas

Thanks, Gary, for all of your hard work.

Gary Shaw in the blue shirt honored with the Pioneer Award at JFK Lancer November in Dallas Conference

What an honor and a pleasure to be able to hear famed JFK Assassination Researcher, J. Gary Shaw, speak at this years JFK Lancer November in Dallas Conference.

Many folks have followed Gary Shaw for decades as he took the time to explain to the American public what really happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

The thing I have always loved about Gary is his ability to make the sometimes tedious facts into a story that I can understand.  It does not take long to read the comments of many of the others who have said the same thing.

I will never forget one person who said Gary Shaw is the one who got me interested in the whole JFK mystery decades ago.  

He said in his very informative talk on Saturday evening at the conference when he accepted his award that he was not only interested in the assassination and the discrepancy with the lone gunman theory of the Warren Commission but that he had also lived the news as a young man in Dallas.

Gary said it was not uncommon for him and his friends and their wives to go out "honky-tonkin'."

They would all get dressed up and visit the night clubs in Dallas for dinner and a show.  This would often include the Carousel Club of Jack Ruby and that Jack did not mind sitting down for a chat at the table.

Gary Shaw said he still has files of folks that he interviewed that were either witnesses to the murder of directly involved who have passed away.  

Gary took the time to write book and interview individuals so that all may have a better idea of what actually happened.

I have been following Gary Shaw for an awfully long time now and it was so lucky to hear him speak in person.

Just wanted to say thank you Gary for all of your hard work and for this time well spent.  

Many of us out there, just the regular people without a voice, value your efforts and the information you have provided for us.

Well done, Gary.

We look forward to what you have to say in the future as your research and interesting conversation continues.
