- In an interview with political scientist Stacia Haynie, Richard Lipsey shares his personal experiences as a 24-year-old Army First Lieutenant serving as the aid to the Commanding General in charge of diplomatic protocol and security. Following the 1963 assassination of US President John. F. Kennedy, Jr., Richard was assigned to guard the president’s body. Afterward, Richard was sworn to secrecy for 15 years in compliance with the National Secrets Act, leaving him unable to talk about his experience witnessing such a historic moment. In this talk Richard shares his story, taking us back to what it was like to be 24 years old in one of the most pivotal moments in American history. Over the past 60 years, Richard Lipsey has built a remarkable career spanning everything from firearms distribution to searsucker suits to civic and philanthropic service. Richard has earned multiple accolades, including the Anti-Defamation League’s Humanitarian Award following Hurricane Katrina. What most people don’t know is that at age 24, Army First Lieutenant Lipsey found himself at the epicenter of one of the most pointed days in United States history: November 22, 1963. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
An autopsy does not state "who" killed someone only how someone died. His statement that the autopsy showed Oswald as the shooter is ludicrous.
"His statement that the autopsy showed Oswald as the shooter is ludicrous": He din't state that. No wonder you're so quick to believe conspiracy stories.
....he said they “lifted the Presidents body onto the table and removed his body from the body bag “....there’s only one problem, when the Presidents body left Parkland Hospital in Dallas it wasn’t in a “body bag” it was wrapped in a sheet. There were two autopsies done on JFK one was the official autopsy the other wasn’t.
There was only one autopsy done on JFK.
There is evidence for 2 maybe 3 bodys used to fabricate the lone nut frame up. And bullet trajectory. One being jd tippet which was called little jfk by fellow officers because they looked like twins.
Kegeshook Maybe. But one thing is for sure. A common murder victim would have had a better and more thorough autopsy than what was done to the Most Powerful Man in the world. It was designed to be a mess and confuse what really happened! It was and is a Joke! In short, it was a cover up!
Tibbets body was sent to DC....altered ...
Exactly! You read my mind.
In my opinion, this gentleman is nothing more than a 'yes man' who was coached and convinced that he should toe the Warren commission line when he gives his opinion of the shooting, Oswald, etc. I feel this is just too clean and neat and convenient for those who want to simplify this and blame it on one lone nut despite any evidence to the contrary.
@drumdad54
Your opinion is right on..
I think they told him he can do all the things he wanted to, but to thier standards or he would suffer the consequences!! Definitely a "Yes Man".
The conspiracy regarding the JFK Assassination should not be overlooked and not thought of as a silly debacle...
C'mon, how can you NOT believe Oswald acted alone when he shot at JFK from 3 different locations?
amen
@@garyg2869 yep exactly
Nobody was told what to say.
Watching an autopsy can't tell you who did the shooting, so why does he repeatedly say that beyond a doubt it was Oswald? Even if he is right about the direction of the shots, there is no way he can know who held the rifle based on having watched the autopsy. That comment of his completely destroys any credibility he might have.
Exactly.!! Saying that the bullets came from only a Italian Carcano rifle and the empty shells and so IT WAS FREAKING OSWALD.!! DOES HE THINK WE ARE FOOLS.!!!??
@@johnrogers9481 yes...they do... Media thinks you can't solve lies...
plus lho tested negative for powder burns...hmmmmmmm. no one has addressed this...
who says Lipsey wasn't informed of the other evidence that showed Oswald fired the shots? He was hearing the doctors talk about this evidence, which Humes had heard on the phone, and what Mr. Lipsey saw seemed to him to conform to what had been concluded from the physical evidence about Oswald's rifle and its bullets.
The monumental circumstancle evidence tells you Oswald was in that window.
Of course he saw everything from Wash DC, last guy I would believe about what happened in Dallas.
Based on the bullet fragments shown in the X-rays, there's no way that he could identify them as 6.5 mm Carcano bullets. There just wasn't enough left of the bullets in the president's skull to make that determination. At that point, everything the guy says becomes suspect.
good
Based on the bullet fragments shown in the X-rays, there's no way that he could identify them as 6.5 mm Carcano bullets: He obviously meant that he knew AFTER that the bullets were from Oswald's Carcano - to the exclusion of all other rifles, which was based on the examinations done by reputable people.
Wrong Quinn said he tested two of that fragments they matched the Carcano.
Do more research.
@@curbozerboomer1773 I have done the research. That you assume that I haven't done research because I haven't reached whatever conclusion you like just shows that you aren't capable of serious discussion.
Although I wish it was all that simple, the fact is that it was not. I thought I would hear him out but when he stated that he was sure that Lee Oswald was the lone gun man, I had to ask myself how did he know that when he was just a guard?
Exactly. He didn't mention that the doctor at Parkland had made the tracheotomy incision through an entrance wound in the throat. He's connecting invisible dots.
Various scientific proofs by specific experts/specialists. There were no evidences against him even the fingerprints. They were Malcolm Mac Wallace fingerprints 100% , the Expert confirmed. Malcolm wallace was the hitman the underling of lyndon baines johnson. LHO innocent he was escape goat as his own speaking " I am a patsy ".
So,when he insisted " Oswald was a lone gun man" He่s telling a lie. As a matter of fact, It's big conspiracy and inside job as per so many evidences.
It’s also possible there was two shooters but they didn’t know about each other.
niyom phusopha. ONE piece of evidence is called EVIDENCE. Five pieces of evidence is called EVIDENCE.!
This man says that he helped remove the body from a “body bag”. How did it get into the body bag? It was not put in one at Dallas. He didn’t mention that the casket was a metal shipping casket not the wooden one that was put into in Dallas.
I don’t buy his story.
I love how all of these comments come from people who have been so brainwashed by conspiracy theorists, that they say he doesn't know what he is talking about. Most of these comments come from people who weren't even born yet, and they question a guy who was there, an eye witness to the autopsy and to history. Maybe , just maybe, this guys story is accurate. But then again the conspiracy theorists have never been about accuracy.
B Scruggs you said it maybe just maybe. I’m just going by facts that the WC won’t address.
@@bscruggs3315 what about the witnesses that were there that saw the president being killed and the doctors who worked on him? There's don't count? This guy is a career military man and has to repeat the narrative. Also the body was prepared before the autopsy. Also when in the history of the world where the leader of a country is murdered and the autopsy was done by someone that has never done one on a body with bullet wounds? Wounds weren't traced, a bullet wound had no bullet in it. His head wound shrunk and moved multiple inches. His back wound was moved half a foot after the autopsy was over. And that's from the start.
@@bscruggs3315 You need to think before you speak, the evidence against the official narrative is compelling, to have managed that lie took some serious power and influence hence its a conspiracy. Read some books the look at these actors in detail and see the links, relationships and dark shadows of power. Or take the blue pill !
James Lovering
Hey James. I've read a lot of books. Case closed is pretty compelling for me. Again, it is impossible to know 100% of the truth of what happened that day but to me, body bags, grassy knoll shots, lbj or the mob, Oswald being silenced, body switching, etc all makes for interesting books and tv shows but at some point you just have to ask yourself how plausible the stories are. At every step of the way there would have to be 100 % cooperation and buy in with no leaks, no one talking and everyone behind the coverup. So kennedys body was altered or switched or whatever and put into a body bag between Dallas and Bethesda? By whom, by how many people, when and where, not one witness, etc. mrs kennedy never left the casket other than for the swearing in on the plane. That would mean she had to be in on it too. I'm sorry I just don't buy it.
Does NOT sound accurate at all from what I have read ...I understood the autopsy room was packed and chaotic, not what he describes at all...
HEAH.! What about the Dr. who did the autopsy had NEVER DONE a forensic autopsy in his life.??
Hi John, yes the whole thing is too many revisionist views ...reg T
It sounds like he was thwere for original opening of shipping casket unless he is lying
The official count by the FBI of people that were in that room I believe was 30. The guy is covering up till this day.
Makes me wonder if there were two bodies, two caskets, AND two autopsies. The "elite" who pull off these stunts love to create chaos and confusion. Search for Kerth Barker, JFK ritual
A true innocent gentleman but he revealed an important point. When he helped unload JFK's body from the Bronze Casket he mentioned a BODY BAG. He should talk to the people in Parkland who loaded JFK's body into the Bronze casket because they did not use a body bag. Just sheets and a protector to absorb the blood. This indicates some sort of interference between Parkland and Bethesda.
hmmmmmmm
You are correct!....at least, as far as his bogus body bag remark....Paul O'Connor, one of the other techs, also has made the mistake of saying that JFK was inside a body bag...no way....This Lipsey dude is making things up!....The President was placed in a coffin that had a large plastic liner in it...and then, a nurse, and an orderly at Parkland, wrapped his body in a heavy sheet, and wrapped his head in yet another sheet, to keep blood from seeping into the casket....Lipsey might be lying...O'Connor might have a bad memory...none of this suggests that the body of JFK was messed with....see the book Reclaiming History, for an accurate description of all aspects of the autopsy....the interviewer was very lax, and did not ask the hard questions.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Your criticism of the interviewer is justified. She should have had enough knowledge of JFK's assassination to confront Richard Lipsey about the body bag he mentioned. All the same Mr Boomer you cannot dismiss this clear evidence by claiming Richard Lipsey "might be lying". Paul O'Connor "might have a bad memory". - From the attempts to alter the Zapruder film by destroying 5 critical frames, cosmetically altering the head wound by a mortician and right up to the disgraceful autopsy at Bethesda the secret service conspired to cover up the work of the second shooter as evident by the head wound. The justification for these treasonous acts was given by some as "national security" trying to prevent a nuclear war with USSR. The reason people still try to justify the Warren Commission conclusions are a mystery to me as it's conclusions are widely rejected throughout the world and USA for good reasons of evidence and truth.
They changed it because it was a bloody mess. You're barking up the wrong tree.
This story about Lipsey and Paul O'Connor calling it a "body bag" reminds me of how much conspiracy theorists make of the owner of the world trade center building 7 saying "pull it", and concluding just from those two words that he said, that he was ordering a demolition of the building. So here people hear the words "body bag" and conclude that another body was brought in in another casket to do a phony autopsy.
declassified documents prove him wrong
Even the warren commission acknowledges the autopsy was a full house circus and there was pressure for the doctors to wrap it up. This guy is full of it.
No they don't
Which documents? And how do they prove him wrong about what?
@@timmckeown1313 -See major people in the Media, even extremely intelligent Professors, and the like usually don't know a damn thing about JFK's death. Read In The Eye Of History By William Law where he interviewed 8 people who were extensively involved in the Autopsy 6 were definitely convinced of conspiracy because of what they did and saw. There are so many things wrong with The Autopsy Photos,Brain Photo's X-Ray's, and the official wounds and trajectories it would take a long time to tell it all.
Just because he was there he thinks he knew what he saw!
4:28 don't leave the body until he's buried. 5:43 I left the body.
9:38 then I left the body again.
Exactly......found that odd too......
That reply is so funny you summed it all up in so little words. I need to learn how to do that I sick of making long replies
what would you expect fom a G-Man ! The guy just told you he was forced to sign an oath of secrecy , why ?
So were all the people involved at Bethesda. That is what blows up the argument "somebody would have talked". Bethesda was a Naval hospital and the people working there were all servicemen. They had to sign under threat of general court-martial if they talked. But when they got their releases, boy did they talk.
@@5346565 what happened at Bethesda? These guys are all swearing multiple oats , to countries secret societies and other allegences

@@joejones5653 Did the man not tell you he was sworn to secrecy ? why so if the "official " story was true , why would it need to be secreted ?
if it happened their way then why not forthcoming with all info. hmmmmmmmm
Having that lady interview him is like having a 10 year old kid asking him the questions.
This guy would never have a well informed researcher ask him questions.
The lady was ideal to get him to talk more freely. As it was he gave up some important details about the "body bag". A confrontation would not have worked so well. He was one of the innocents duped by the Secret Service who had custody of JFK's body between Parkland and Andrews Airforce Base.
@@johnbellingham9067
That guy mentioning the body bag is something we already knew about.
Other than mentioning the body bag his story is basically just giving general information.
No need to be confrontational just ask the correct questions, that lady clearly not well prepared for this interview. Also the movies JFK and Jackie showed Jackie in the emergency room at Parkland Hospital not running into the autopsy room like this guy is saying.
"This guy would never have a well informed researcher ask him questions.: "Well informed researcher"? That just means someone who reads only conspiracy stuff and is not willing or able to be objective.
@@peterfraser9070 I never mentioned conspiracy, l said “well informed researcher”
That lady was not qualified to interview that guy.
@@panchovilla5359 He said Jackie NEVER went into the autopsy room!!
For me, there's one fact that tells the story. Oswald was taken into custody a very short time after the shooting. The case was almost immediately declared "closed," by Hoover, who was in DC when he closed it, and the story has never been added to, or had any other official alternatves added into the "Official version." This is an affront to any thinking person, especially anyone who knows how complex the scene around the American President is, especially one who had so many declared enemies and motivated thugs on his trail. Everything after the arrest was the coverup and a deliberate obfuscation of the plot to eliminate JFK, and install the MIC guy, LBJ, who got right down to work on the Viet Nam caper. The rest is History, as the saying goes. :(
He was taken into custody on suspicion of killing JD Tippit.... It would really help if you'd do some real research.
@@joejones5653 And why was he suspected of killing Tippit? Witnesses to the killing varied widely in the description of the shooter. Some said there were two men. And if Oswald was on the run, why did he enter the Texas Theater? And how did the police know he was there? If this were a novel, it would be laughed at for the improbable coincidences involving the capture of Oswald.
spot on
"And why was he suspected of killing Tippit? Witnesses to the killing varied widely in the description of the shooter.": Oh no they didn't. Watch the witnesses THEMSELVES talking. That other stuff was invented by Mark Lane, and they were angry at him for lying. You're pretending to be a researcher?
"if Oswald was on the run, why did he enter the Texas Theater? And how did the police know": You don't even know those basic things?? He ducked into the theater to hide from the cops, who were after him for shooting Tippet. The witnesses all described Oswald. Oswald had just ducked into a shoe store to hide from a passing cop car, the manager of the store (who had just heard on the radio about Tippet being shot) thought LHO looked quite suspicious, then saw him enter the theater without paying. He called the cops. DO SOME BASIC RESEARCH.
No...Oswald didnt even shoot a gun that day. Shame on him and Ted for this
Twelve eye witnesses saw Oswald shoot and kill police officer J.D. Tippet, and you are a damn liar.
@@user6008The only way you can say the witnesses identified Oswald as the one who killed Tippet is if you think Oswald was a stocky man who had bushy hair! One person reported that they saw two people c OP Mitch the crime. They refused to ID Oswald in the lineup. Oswald would have to of been carrying a different gun that actually worked if he shot Tippet since the one he had at the Theater was broken. And, Oswald must have had two different wallets.... One that was on him when he was arrested at the Theater and one that was left at the Tippet murder scene on the ground. There were also 2 different people who were arrested at the Theater that day. One was taken out the front door and one was taken out the back door. There is so much evidence Oswald had nothing to do with the Tippet murder. Tell me what the names of all the 12 witnesses you claim to know who supposedly saw Oswald do it and what they each testified happened.
@@user6008 No, they didn't. Some of the witnesses said they saw two people and the descriptions varied widely. None of the descriptions was detailed enough to identify Oswald. The Dallas cops knew Oswald would go to the Texas Theater. Why? Probably because he was supposed to meet a contact there.
lho tested negative for powder burns, you r correct.
@@elainejohnson6955 exactly
Lee didn't shoot anyone...there were more people that saw the bushy haired overweight person and 3 men
He reminds me of my grandfather. He just cannot fathom JFK’s death being anything but an accident; and he truly believes his story. However, reading David Lifton’s book, “Best Evidence,” and listening to the various participants in the autopsy and the movement of the coffin (Aubrey Rike, Dennis David, Paul O’Connor, et al), there were actually two autopsies, a pre and “the official” one (or “circus” version to use his word). This man saw the circus version. The wounds had already been doctored.
This Ted Talk is a reminder to be careful when listening to seemingly “honest, cutting edge information,” which TT has a reputation for. This information is definitely erroneous, either intentional or not. I suggest Ted Talk have David Lifton speak.
Boko, yes two autopsies were done. Clandestine post-mortem pre-autopsy surgery was done by Cdrs. Humes and Boswell starting after 6:35 pm. This was done to obliterate all evidence of frontal gunshot wounds to President Kennedy. Also bullets and bullet fragments were removed. These two Naval officers were under orders to do so. It is a historical fact now.
true
Complete BS
David Lifton is a phony liar.
I agree, the account given by Lifton is a little far fetched in some areas but is mostly sound and thereby fascinating (particularly the part about Kennedy’s arm being in a raised position).
I like how he matched up the shell fragments with the gun and the bullets he knew what they were at the autopsy. Wrong. This guy must be an ammo expert with bullets that hit people what a bunch of lies
"I like how he matched up the shell fragments with the gun and the bullets he knew what they were at the autopsy.": He obviously didn't mean it like that; if this is an example of your power of reasoning, then you're lost.
I ain't buying what he's selling.
MAGOO Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again!
drvannostran Magoo ....lol
He is an insider all right. He sticks to the company line at each turn.
Unless you saw Oswald fire the weapon & shoot JFK, you cannot pin it on Oswald. When I saw footage of the presidents car in front of the hospital, the trunk & doors were open & one man who I thought was a Texas Ranger, (cop wearing a cowboy hat), was holding what appeared to be a metal ice bucket that had come out of the car. I have come to the conclusion that there was a man in the trunk that was let out at the hospital, (he got in at the service station where the car was serviced, prior to the presidents appearance). Which is inline with the shot to the lower back. I also noticed at the scene, right after shots were fired, that a motorcycle officer purposefully put his motorcycle in position to block the view of a storm drain behind it. If you want more info, see the presentations by Daniel P. Sheehan. He teaches a college course on JFK. It is fascinating. (All on UA-cam). I feel this scenario was verified when years later, GWB purchased the baseball team, the Texas Rangers. And JFK. Jr. named his magazine "George". It is impossible to beat a person that never quits. Many JFK researchers have never stopped investigating. We owe them our gratitude. Rest in Peace, Mr. President.
While I agree that it was not the "lone nut" Oswald who killed JFK, some of the ideas here seem pretty far fetched. My understanding is JFK Jr. named his magazine after George Washington. And you don't need a shooter in the trunk to get a back wound.
Howard Brennan saw Oswald shoot the president.
@@eameece Correct!
Abraham Lincoln was shot in a Ford
JFK was shot in a Lincoln.
Yes, and JFK's secretary was named Lincoln. Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled into a warehouse. Oswald shot JFK from a warehouse and fled into a theater.
Complete & utter lies, somebody please show him the Zupruder film
Mr. Lipsey told the truth, period. The Zapruder film supports his testimony. Yea, you spelled Zapruder wrong.
He is a liar
No, he's not.
Yes he is.
I don't believe he is purposely lying about what he saw. He was fooled too.
Someone needs to call him out publicly
This gentlemen is lying.There was around 30 people in the gallery at autopsy.Some names are not even on the list.
His account of the autopsy doesn't match multiple accounts that stated it was a tug of war between all the different factions (military, CIA, SS, FBI). Nobody wanted to be left in the dark about any detail.
His account of the autopsy doesn't match multiple accounts that stated it was a tug of war between all the different factions: The movie JFK is heavily fictionalized - even Oliver Stone admitted that.
Wrong !!!! Ask the Doctors at Parkland about the wounds they saw, and compare that to the Military Doctors.
The Parkland doctors were busy doing their job....they were not conducting an autopsy!....But Dr. Carrico , one of the first ER docs to see JFK, has said in an interview that the large wound in the right side of the head was indeed a wound of exit...there was no large defect in the back of the head, just to the side of the head!
@@curbozerboomer1773 Your comment suggest, you have not done enough research into the Kennedy assassination . Tell me, what did all the remaining people 14 in the ER see, half of which were doctors?
@@wkw4563 Read Doug Horne's "Inside the ARRB" and you will see copies of their affidavits and sketches they made of the wounds they saw. They are NOT the wounds seen in the autopsy photos.
@@jonisaacson9253 Good point!!! Everyone should follow your advice and read this book!!!!
I lost him when he said Body Bag...Kennedy did not leave in a body bag. Then when he said Kennedy was shot by Oswald... I turned it off.
If you read David Lifton's "Best Evidence" or Doug Horne's "Inside the ARRB," there is solid evidence that JFK's body was brought to Bethesda in a plain metal shipping coffin and in a body bag. Later, the empty bronze coffin was brought in, JFK's body put into it and brought out to be brought back in accompanied by the honor guard. There are sworn affidavits from people involved in both of these arrivals. I think Lipsey slipped up when he said the body arrived in a body bag. It did, but that was not the official story.
@Apong Imsong You god damned right something here is off. A lot more went down that had nothing to do with Lee Oswald, catch my drift here?
@Apong Imsong After the Secret Service put down the President’s casket in the rear of Air Force 1, the Secret Service ordered everyone to leave the rear of the plane for a 13-14 minute period citing “security concerns.” It was then the agents removed the President’s body from the ornamental casket and placed his body in a rubber zip bag and stowed the body in a side compartment. The Dallas casket was empty.
@Apong Imsong I really don’t know how the body of JD Tippett fits in this story. However, when one looks hard at Tippet one has to ask the obvious question, just what was JD Tippett up to when he encountered Lee. Or was it it Lee Oswald that shot Tippett at all. Eyewitnesses couldn’t agree that it was or was not Lee. If it was Lee that encountered Tippett, what was Tippett doing in Oak Cliff on that particular street at that particular moment? Was Tippet going to kill Oswald on the spot? Anyway, Apong I can only say that you and you alone should work on this Tippett angle and you make up your own mind.
@Apong Imsong Tippett a fall guy? For whom? I feel that military intelligence tipped off Dallas Police to Oswald’s exact location and Tippett was to kill Oswald in cold blood.
After I watched this video, I had typed out a huge rant lol going on about why and who and what but I just decided to say Ted, I really don't care much for you, nor do I trust that I'm getting information that isn't crafted only to confuse and even guide the process of interpreting the message and thus it will forever be this way... Oh my, there I go again,
Anyhoo, later Ted!
You would think this old man would want to be honest about this before he dies. "I could see the 6.5 mm bullets in slow motion being shot by Oswald, I could see it clear as day from the autopsy room, two 6.5's right through camelot!!"
He's clearly lying about the wounds and the bullet fragments!! He's a frickin liar!!
Government position since 1979 likely conspiracy. This guy is protecting his pension.
Mr. Lipsey is telling the truth and he has inadvertently exposed the fact that there was a 2nd shooter. At 14:00 he mentions seeing bullet fragments, yet we know the carcano bullet which hit JFK was retrieved intact at Parkland hospital in Dallas. Which in ballistic terms is totally inconsistent with one type of bullet.
Those bullet fragments were from a .223 military fragmentation round, not a 6.5 full metal jacket bullet which would not disintegrate on impact. Richard Lipsey saw and witnessed proof of a second shooter. Which is damning evidence that should blow the lid off the JFK assassination, yet we know it won't because the conspiracy nutjobs will never see the truth.
"yet we know the carcano bullet which hit JFK was retrieved intact at Parkland hospital in Dallas.": that was the bullet that went thru Kennedy's neck!! The bullet that hit him in the head obviously did fragment - that's why there was such a head explosion!! Watch the Z Film, for God's sake. His head his knocked forward and above it you see pieces of skull fly FORWARD. Then a muscle reflex jerks his upper-body back like that. Bullet DO NOT throw someone back like that. Watch above his head when he gets hit in the noodle.
@@peterfraser9070 Dan Rather saw the unedited Zapruder film where frames hadn't yet been removed. He said it was gruesome, horrifying and unbelievable. Blood, brain matter and skull fragments exploded all over the inside of the Limo. Chunks of JFK's skull flew eight feet up in the air. But then again that's exactly how a Remington .223 frag round is designed and engineered to perform. follow the clue and the truth will find you.
No, the bullet fragments were from the bullet that tore a hole in the right side of his head. The bullet retrieved at Parkland Hospital was distorted but not deformed, and was intact, and it was the "single bullet" (or "magic bullet") that went through JFK's neck and that fell out of Connally's thigh onto his stretcher. Both the single bullet, and two large fragments from the head shot bullet that were found in the car, were ballistically matched to Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of all other guns. I hear different stories about other fragments found during the autopsy. One account was of two larger fragments (smaller than the ones in the car though) were found in JFK's head and were taped to the body with a receipt given and they were also linked to Oswald's gun. I'm not sure about this. But those 2 fragments found in the car hit much denser bones (agent Hill confirmed the sound of this bullet was different and so did Connally because it sounded like it hit something hard), and these fragments found in the car were certainly Carcano and were matched to Oswald's rifle ballistically. So this bullet certainly fragmented, unlike the one that hit JFK's neck and was found at Parkland.
Richard Lipsey is without question a liar, a dupe, a provocateur, a CIA plant, a gas lighter, a nobody. I have read over a dozen books on the Kennedy assassination and watched countless documentary presentions on the subject as well as live presentations; and throughout this time, this is the first time I have ever heard of one Richard Lipsey.
Lifton interviewed him and excerpts are In best evidence - published 1980.
The interviewer is unprepared.
What a shocking Liar makes me sick
Is it me or did anyone else hear him state, “when we took him out of the body bag”. No sheets!
He most definitely said it. Just like David Lifton said in his book: Best Evidence!
Michael Ivey David Lifton was so ahead of his time that it’s frightening. Everything he stated in his book as a result of his prodigious research and looked upon in 1980 as buffoonish is today accepted as reality.
You are absolutely correct. An outstanding piece of work. And in my humble opinion, he did more for the Assassination research community than almost anyone. Not taking away from any that blazed the trail before him. The only other ones I can think of who stand on the same level are Robert Groden and Douglas Horne. But sadly, no one in the halls of govt give a damn. Do the murderers got away with it.
Michael Ivey David had an issue with Groden re the Zapruder film. Doug Horne’s monumental works, books and videos and his credentials bring much credibility to the issue and the tragedy.
@@razorsedge1854 Most definitely. I still enjoy perusing Grodens, Liftons, and Hornes work. Absolutely incredible what they and others did. I just wonder if they and their families have been threatened with being crippled of killed because of it? And what steps if any they took to prevent it. Would be a very good rezd.
I’m doing research and the autopsy was botched. I am not buying this guys story. The doctor that completed the autopsy never completed an autopsy on a homicide. Not surprised that he is a YES man, this is a TED talk, what else would you expect with this topic. This is disgraceful.
UA-cam the 1978 HSCA interview of Lt Lipsey. In that interview Lt Lipsey assuming the interview was going into storage boxes for 100 years, proceeds to give his "sworn" testimony. In that interview Lt Lipsey says JFK was hit 3 times from behind. His testimony is extremely telling, in that he says there were two hits to the head.. one higher up and one about a few inches lower... What is interesting in that, is that when Dr Bowell, Humes, Finck wrote the autopsy report, they were only approved to disclose one head shot. Dr Humes went with the hlower head shot... In 1978, at the same time that Lipsey was in Baton Rouge LA talking about the 3 shots, in Washington DC a panel of doctors were going over the autopsy reports and x-rays. When they interviewed Dr Humes, they told him his finding of a bullet hole lower in the head was WRONG. They forced him to say the head shot was about 4 inches higher... AGAIN.... these are the gov't experts changing the location of the head shot..... even though Dr Finck was an expert on military wounds. Dr Finck felt the bevel on the skull and had opted in 1963 to report only the lower hit.
This Lipsey testimony in 1978 proves JFK was hit in the head twice, as Lipsey says.. In 1963, the WC went with the lower head entrance and in 1978 decided to switch to the higher entrance wound.
Later in life Lipsey changed his testimony to match the WC .. But as late as 1978, 15 yrs after the assassination Lipsey had it right!
They apparently did a body switch, utilizing officer's j.d. Tippet,s body, both jfk- like bodies were subsequently placed on Air Force Two.. a professional fixer was brought in named Ligget,
To alter up the head and brain of Tippet to make it look like Kennedy an try to make it look as if shot from behind. Ligget so botched the rushed head job... but Air Force two leapfrogged ahead of AF one and got there in a rush
First.
HSCA testimony-
Q: Did they also feel --did the doctors state that three separate bullets had struck?
LIPSEY: This is one other thing, that to the best of my memory, today, and remembering what I thought about when all these reports came out absolutely, unequivocally yes, they were convinced that he had been shot three times.
The Warren Commission was ready to go with that, too, till it turned out a shot from behind had missed and hit the pavement. That created the need for the "single bullet theory" that would account for all of JFK's and Connaly's wounds being caused by two bullets.

First. Mixed up coffins to unload.
The film defo shows kennedies head shoot backwards as the bullet hits and the blood sprays out behind. Is this the best the CIA can do even today
Well I'm sure you know much more than the Parkland Emergency Ward doctors and nurses and the medical photographer... so I'll just bow to your superior wisdom with my head hung in shame.
This is a reply to Mustang Power's reply below.
He stayed with the body all right because it was in the helicopter with him, wrapped in a body bag and not in sheets as in Dallas.

HSCA testimony--- TOO many bullets
LIPSEY: Yeah, well as far as the exact x-rays were taken, no I don’t recall. I do recall the comments from the doctors, you know, who started examining the body before they did anything, you know, looking at the body, looking at where the bullets had entered the back of the his head. It was obvious that one bullet entered the back of his head and exited on the right side of his face and pretty well blew away the right side of his head. And then the other two bullets had entered the lower part of his neck and the best of my knowledge, or the best of my memory, one had exited. The other bullet had entered from behind and hit his chest cavity and the bullet went down into the body. And during the autopsy, this is the only part that I can imagine would be of any--really, what I’ve told you right there, of strictly confidential nature that was never written up anywhere. And I presume, am I right, that this tape and this conversation is strictly confidential? You know, it’s not going to be published I guess is what I’m getting at?
Yes. The bullet from the back wound was probably removed before the official autopsy began by enlarging the tracheostomy incision (which was originally a small neat cut that went through what the Parkland doctors were sure was an entrance wound in JFK's throat. The autopsy photographs show a jagged cut that looks like it was made with a butcher knife.
I have never read that a bullet was found that went down into his body. The Xrays taken before the autopsy now in the National Archives and examined by various doctors through the years would have shown a bullet, would they not? The first bullet somehow caused cement from the curb to hit Mr. Tague. Something from this bullet might have hit JFK and cause him to say he had been hit.
JFK was way ahead of his years
Ask questions about bullet holes & answer with the Warren Commission Theory. Don’t describe those bullets, describe LHO & knowing it was from a 6.5 Carcano. Great Evasiveness!
JFK's body was not even in the casket that they took out the front doors of the plane.
It is charged by one troll that he was taken out of a cargo door. But there are no witnesses to this. Was there even such a door? I don't know. Witnesses watched the bronze casket in the plane the whole time and saw no such body taken out.

First. Mixed up caskets too. 2 mistakes made
At 6:36 Huge Revelation! Richard Lipsey mentions a Bag. This is extremely important. Because WC and HSCA said definitely no bag. I believe Lt Lipsey. He saw a Bag. Huge implications.
KENNEDY WAS SHOT FROM THE FRONT JUST LIKE CONNELIES WIFE HAD SAID
yes
When did she say that? I’m not doubting you; I’ve just always thought she was in line with all the other WR believers.
a large majority of docs said there were entry wounds in the front. they have the experience so it makes sense from the front
Connally's wife Nellie said that Oswald was the lone shooter.
He's a tool... First off a liar. He was ordered to not leave the body. Within minutes he leaves to to a laundry run. What more important? Chain of custody and evidence or taking the one person ordered to guard the body to get clothes? Second off, a military fmj round has a hard time fragmenting and 3rd,if there is a fragment found during the autopsy, how does that guarantee the gun or the shooter?
Such an intriguing discussion until the 14:50 mark where he denies what has been proven.
nothing is proven that you claim. Oswald was proven to fire the shots, all of them that were shot. Show me any other physical proof of any other physical shots that hit the president.
Pure yes man, couldn't agree more
Didn't guard it very well
Sad that someone can lie to themselves like this. What a bunch of propaganda.
Wait! Took him out of a body bag?? That’s not the way Kennedy left Parkland Hospital. He was wrapped in sheets. Somebody’s not telling the truth.
That may be one of the few true things he said. And I'm sure he regretted saying it.
It's possible "body bag" is a misnomer. But it is puzzling. Conspiracy believers take that and make up theories about substitute bodies or altered autopsies for a cover up. Is that a necessary conclusion from the words "body bag?"
@@eameece Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "misnomer". I don't think anyone would confuse a casket for a body bag, but maybe that's not what you meant. In any case, it boils down to whether or not one believes the testimony of witnesses who said Kennedy's body arrived in a body bag. If what they're saying is true, it does raise a whole slew of questions.
@@pauldavies5611 Maybe Paul O'Connor and Richard Lipsey used the word "body bag" for the sheets around JFK that they saw. That IS what I meant. But their use of the words "body bag" is indeed confusing. It may raise questions, but that does not mean we can assume that the stories told by Lipton and other conspiracy theorists about two autopsies are true. Such questions can only be answered with evidence, not made-up stories. Nor can everything else Lipsey said here be dismissed just because he said "body bag" and because he accepts the official narrative about who shot the president.

A standing ovation for a pack of lies.
Doesn't this man fear judgement from God?
Something wrong here !
Oliver Stone updated his JFK movie. Anyone interested in this should seek it out and watch it. It kinda of takes it from conspiracy to documented facts, with still a lot of unanswered questions.
Poor soul didn't even know JFK's body was not in the casket when it was coming down off the plane with Jackie.
You do not know anything about that!

First. With 2 bodies, replaced into wrong caskets , mix up mistakes
He almost screwed up he was going to say hotel then changed it to house he is bending the truth
Sorry you lost me when it was claimed only Oswald fired the shots that day.
He should be in jail .
there are several witness testimony records that directly counter what this man is saying. Those witnesses are experienced with autopsy procedures and medical evidence. This man is neither a technician or medically trained, although I appreciate his sentiment I do not believe him and he likely viewed the body after it had been altered to reflect the "official story". There was evidence of wax reconstruction and altered features of hair and skin placement (look for the Cyril Wecht, a noted experts interpretation of the faked autopsy results).
Do you think there may have been more than one autopsy?
@@explained3799 no, there is testimony from the reputable attending Parkland physicians whose testimony conflicts with the Bethesda autopsy findings and pictures suggesting that powerful government agencies or officials faked the autopsy summary to conform to an official narrative that promotes the single gunman theory
@@explained3799 "Do you think there may have been more than one autopsy?"
No.
@@admintheparkapp6215 "no, there is testimony from the reputable attending Parkland physicians whose testimony conflicts with the Bethesda autopsy findings and pictures suggesting that powerful government agencies or officials faked the autopsy summary to conform to an official narrative that promotes the single gunman theory"
Or, an alternate, and perhaps more plausible explanation: no x-rays were taken of JFK at Parkland, nor were his thick hair and scalp ever peeled back so that the full extent of the damage to JFK's skull could be viewed directly. Only at Bethesda were x-rays taken, and only at Bethesda were the thick hair and scalp peeled back completely so that, for the first time ever, 100 percent of the damage to JFK's skull could be seen, instead of the smaller percentage of the damage that was seen at Parkland. Thus the doctors at Bethesda had more information to go on than did the doctors at Parkland.
@@Caeruleo the Bethesda autopsy was botched, Read Dr Wexel, a notable forensic physician’s account it’s easily available.
Unfortunately the guy’s either lying or not fully aware of the facts outside of his part in the story, BUT, I do think that when people toe the, ‘Oswald Alone,’ line it’s more than likely done out of a (perhaps misguided) sense of responsibility and patriotism.
…Or he’s read, ‘Case Closed,’ and a few other confirmation bias accounts and pretty much left it at that. Probably a mix of the two.
Get over it folks. Oswald made those shots. Nobody else.
His fellow Marines said he wasn't a very good shot. He had a notoriously bad rifle with a misaligned telescopic sight. And less than a minute after the shots were fired, he was in the second floor lunchroom of the Book Depository drinking a Coke.
@@jonisaacson9253 Lee made that shot.

yes
so did most doctors. they see examples all the time
Since Oswald was considered a nutcase why not declassified all the documents 🤷♂️
The documents would reveal Oswald's connections to the CIA and FBI, and they don't want their reputation, such as it is, smeared.
excellent. if it happened that way...
to protect people and security. And anyway, why would some other story be in a document that they keep? If they really wanted to cover up, they'd just get rid of them.
The chaos they are referring to in the hospital was at Parkland in Texas and not at Bethesda in DC so the facts here are incorrect. Filled with inaccuracies.
"

Just someone repeating the same old story
Warren Commission BS..
who was behind the warren jazz any way and appointed members ? and who changed the motorcade @ dallas ? LBJ LBJ LBJ
let me just quickly look up the meaning of the werd hagiography ... ok, here it is
And there we have another puppet.. 😀👍
There were eye witnesses by the grassy knoll that saw a shooter Badge
Man and they ran toward the shooter.
jus one of many....
Another eye witness account from one of the doctors present contradicts what this man says. He said the room was flooded with government people.
Prove it
@@joejones5653 Check out Vincent Bugliosi's excellent, detailed book, Reclaiming History...He actually compiled a list of the various people in the autopsy room...There were quite a few!
His demeanor suddenly change when the question is about the lone gun man. I think he is lying; and if indeed there is a conspiracy, these two personalities (Stacie Haynie and Richard Lipsey) are part of it.
How can he be so sure? I wonder.
People present in Dallas saw and heard shots come from the grassy knoll, they saw the president hit in the front and slump back, this guy is a "company man", he has no expertise in what happened in Dallas, After what Jim Garrison was put through I'm not surprised no one is game to question what happened.They would have been sworn to secrecy for life regarding the actual autopsy findings, He would know what happened, the rest of us can only think we know what happened, The Zapruder film shows what happened, that's the definitive evidence, that last shot shows everything coming out the back of the head.
"People present in Dallas saw and heard shots come from the grassy knoll"
You are saying that in a misleading way. 45 percent of the witnesses said ALL the shots came from the grassy knoll and none from anywhere else. And why didn't you bother to mention that a slightly larger number, 47 percent, said ALL the shots came from the TSBD and none from anywhere else?
"they saw the president hit in the front and slump back"
You are again saying that in a misleading way. Very few witnesses said they "saw" him hit in the front. In fact, some of the closest witnesses on the right (north) side of JFK, such as Bill and Gayle Newman, said that their impression was that he seemed to be hit directly on the right SIDE of his head, not the front, an impression that obviously came from the same thing we see in the Zapruder film, where those big, horrible flaps of scalp suddenly appear on the right side of his head in front of his right ear immediately after his head was struck by the bullet.
"The Zapruder film shows what happened, that's the definitive evidence, that last shot shows everything coming out the back of the head."
I've watched the Zapruder film hundreds of times since 1988 and I do not see much of anything coming out of the back of his head. In frames 313 and 314 I do quite plainly see that the majority of the material blasting out of his head is exiting more forward than rearward.
@@Caeruleo We probably won't ever know the truth, I've seen all the doc's and I'm none the wiser, some convince me it was more than 1 shooter, some convince me it was Oswald, I don't remember writing that comment, it seems a bit detailed for my writing, anyway if you solve the case let us all know, you could make a fortune with a book deal and tv appearance.....I know who shot JR in Dallas but JFK is a bit of a mystery.
@@glasshalffull8471 "I don't remember writing that comment, it seems a bit detailed for my writing"
Well, UA-cam says you wrote it "1 month ago," so...
:P
"anyway if you solve the case let us all know, you could make a fortune with a book deal and tv appearance."
I have no intention of writing a book about the JFK assassination. There have already been far too many such books as it is. And did it ever occur to you that perhaps the assassination has been solved, and it's just that most people won't accept it?
spot on
Ambulances was blue
Mark 4:22
The zaptuder film does not disagree with anything he's saying your interpretation of the shot is wrong you cannot tell the direction of a bullet traveling 2000 ft a second when taken at the angle of the zaptuder film
You can tell the impact it makes when it strikes a skull.
@@jonisaacson9253 No I can't but the autopsy photos can but it is common sense when a bullet hits a human head going 2000 ft per second pieces of the skull can go in all different directions sort of like smashing a pumpkin with a sledge hammer. That is why it is ludicrous to think just becsuse Jackie craled onto the back of the trunk to retrieve a piece of brain matter that the head shot came from the front.
Hey George why schould I read a fantacy book when this guy was actually there
Randy Harris JPW very well put. This man says that he helped remove the body from a “body bag”. How did it get into the body bag? It was not put in one at Dallas. He didn’t mention that the casket was a metal shipping casket not the wooden one that was put into in Dallas.
I don’t buy his story.
This is the most accurate account Of that night
Oh no.... There is a book by David Lipton that goes in all this. There is a video Lipton made about his book that is very good also....It's Called 'Best Evidence'
He uses animation uses his arms wsy too much as if to push his lies out to be a real explanation.people who lie a lot do this. Boris johnson does ot when he is yrying to explain away something he lied about

BODY BAG ! Sounds a load of bollocks
Sorry folks below Oswald was a sociopath...shot at Ret Gen Walker in Apr '63 but missed.
Truth
So he missed Walker, who was sitting still at his desk, but hit JFK with two shots while he was moving away from him? There are witnesses who saw two people leaving the scene of the attempted killing of Walker, and neither of them looked like Oswald.

You're right. I didn't think of it before, but that would explain why he said there was no crowd at the autopsy.
".... this guy was describing the FIRST autopsy.... we wonder where he went during the second...."
It has never been proven that there were two autopsies on JFK's body.
@@Caeruleo Well, somewhere between Parkland and the autopsy "theater" at Bethesda, JFK's body was altered. Bullets and fragments were removed, surgery was done on the skull to conceal the direction from which shots were fired, and the small tracheostomy split that was made at Parkland through what they said was an entrance wound in the throat was turned into a jagged gash (probably to be able to remove the bullet from the back wound, which mystified the doctors doing the autopsy because there was no bullet and no exit wound.)
@@jonisaacson9253 You are repeating common unproven assertions about the assassination that have been repeated by many conspiracy-oriented authors. It has never been proven that any "surgery" was done on JFK's skull between Parkland and Bethesda.
