- Marina Oswald Porter, widow of Lee Harvey Oswald, with her attorney James Hamilton, appears before the House Assassinations Committee hearing on the killing of John F. Kennedy. She told the panel that Oswald expressed admiration of Kennedy. She also said she could not picture Oswald working with an accomplice.
(The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy)(Jack Ruby)
18 years before the hearing, JFK announced his presidential candidacy in that very same room…..the Senate Caucus Room.
And so did his brother
Is there a full video of this? She testifed for several hours...
Does anyone know what the loud noise in the middle of the video is? It was loud enough to make her pause and react to it.
Stalin the Man of Steel flying
Sounded like an air raid siren
1978 in black and white?
Yes.
Many shows were still in black and white in the 1970’s.
B&w was still common in recordings into the 80s.
Does video exist for the complete 1978 assassination select committee hearings?
This video is from 1978? It looks like 1934.
Right! Black & white filming !? Unreal!
From I had learn from my mom back in 1986 during the mock LHO trial in London as we were watching it; she said that there was strong evidence that if it was Oswald shooting at the motorcade that it was more likely that Oswald was actually aiming towards Gov. John Connolly after Lee's dishonorable discharge from the Marine Corp.
Is she still alive?
Yes
@@b.abrackus6403 huh, interesting. Thanks
@@alfredfreedomjones5105 - Yes. She’s 81
Yes. Raised her kids in suburban Dallas. Rockwall, Texas.
Get over it. You all hide things still and there is no freedom here
Got anything on Judy garland?
Saves me time searching ...
I want information on jack Kennedy and Judy Garland.
Had a reason to feel spooky over the entire ordeal.
Jack Kennedy and Judy Garland.
The emperor’s new look ...
John and Jackie ...
Even then, she said he had nothing but good thing things to say about jfk
Dont suppose that 'note' is around?
Yes, I believe it’s at the archives or Sixth Floor Museum
Can you imagine the death threats and intimidation she experienced. I bet her mom and kid were being held at gunpoint during this testimony.
Deservedly so. She knew that her husband tried to assassinate Major General Edwin Walker a few months earlier.
:(
I have problems listening to him?
I am sorry I could not understand. but it seems to me that she did not say oswald killed the president. Like she keeps saying she can not remember or she can not explain.
I think that right after the assassination before Oswald was killed that she told the police that she thought he did it when police asked. I think she said that possibly because she had just moved to the US from Russia and she may have had the thought that you don’t disagree with the police assuming that that’s how they did things in Russia.
Also that’s what she was hearing. That Oswald killed JFK. She may have just been repeating what she heard because she would’ve been experiencing trauma at some level and she hadn’t had time to think and form her own opinions.
Plus she knew that LHO had tried to shoot General Walker but had failed. That’s at least part of what she’s talking about here. About LHO’s attempt to kill General Walker. He told her he did it. LHO had used the same rifle to shoot at General Walker as the one found on the 6th floor of the TBSD after the assassination. The bullet found in General Walker’s house matched LHO’s rifle.
LHO’s gun and 3 shell casings were found on the 6th floor of the TSBD after the assassination. Someone fired that rifle at JFK from that window but I do not believe that it was LHO.
I do believe that LHO was involved in the assassination. He played a role but he wasn’t the shooter. He had no gunshot residue on his cheek which is inconsistent with firing a rifle. They tested his rifle and when someone else shot it there was gun shot residue on that person’s cheek.
LHO also had no gun shot residue on his hand which would’ve been there if he had shot Dallas Police Officer JD Tippit.
Back to Marina. She remarried 2-3 years later. She and her husband had a son and they raised him along with her 2 daughters from LHO. The kids are grown and gone. From what I’ve heard the girls seem to be doing ok. Marina’s husband is very protective of her as he should be. She rarely gives interviews.
She now believes that LHO did not kill JFK. She’s had time to process and form her own opinion. What brought her to change her mind I don’t know. But I believe that she is correct that LHO did not assassinate JFK.
"I am sorry I could not understand. but it seems to me that she did not say oswald killed the president."
I did not hear her say anything like that, and this segment is about the Walker shooting, not the shooting of JFK.
@@Caeruleo - If you watch videos of her talking to police right after the JFK assassination, she says that she thinks LHO did it.
She knew that he tried to kill General Walker because LHO told her that he’d done that. Having that knowledge it wouldn’t be much of a jump from trying to shoot General Walker to assassinating JFK.
However as time passed she changed her mind and said that she didn’t think that LHO assassinated JFK.
You are correct that in this video she is talking about General Walker.
@@cmm2145 "If you watch videos of her talking to police right after the JFK assassination, she says that she thinks LHO did it."
Correct, and she was still saying the same thing in other interviews and statements all the way to at least the end of the 1970s.
"However as time passed she changed her mind and said that she didn’t think that LHO assassinated JFK."
Yes, but after studying her change of heart for the past 34 years I've come to the conclusion that the main reason she changed her mind was because conspiracy buffs had, by the end of the 1980s, bombarded her with many different unproven conspiracy factoids, unproven claims, in fact, that have also been mistakenly accepted by millions of other people worldwide over all these decades. And she became rather closed-minded. For example, you can easily find here on UA-cam her 1993 (I think) interview done just after the publication of Gerald Posner's book, "Cased Closed." In the interview she disputed the conclusions of the book while at the same time admitting that not only had she never read it but that she intended never to read it. Really now. She already "knows" in advance that everything in the book will be "wrong" before she even knows what all of the contents of the book are? And making her decision based on the reports of other people who had read the book isn't good enough, because for all she knew they might have been giving her biased and inaccurate accounts of what claims were made in the book. And without reading the book herself, how could she possibly know for certain that the book might contain something that would surprise her, that she didn't expect it to contain, that might cause her to change her mind regarding the author's conclusions?
And I also find it interesting that although c.1988 she changed her mind and began to say that she didn't think LHO was guilty after all, she has never to the present day recanted her original claim that she did indeed take the backyard photos that show Oswald with the rifle, and has also never recanted her original claim that he told her that he had indeed fired a shot at Edwin Walker. She has also never recanted her claim that Oswald threatened to shoot Richard Nixon. She has also never recanted her claim that Oswald's rifle was definitely wrapped in a blanket in Ruth Paine's garage at some point prior to the assassination and that the same blanket most definitely no longer had the rifle in it when the police came to the house after the assassination.
And perhaps most significant of all: although she has changed her mind about LHO's guilt or innocence, she has never herself presented any solid evidence that is independent of the claims of the conspiracy buffs that indicates his innocence.
@@Caeruleo - I’m not in the least surprised that people, especially conspiracy theorists, have been bothering her. I understand that her husband shields her from that as much as possible by telling them that she doesn’t give interviews.
Admitting that she took the picture of LHO and his rifle, stating that LHO told her that he shot at General Walker (which I understand that there is evidence that he did because the bullet found in General Walker’s house matched LHO’s rifle), stating that LHO threatened to shoot Nixon, her statement that the rifle had been wrapped in a blanket and was in Ruth Paine’s garage but wasn’t there when police came after the assassination are not evidence that LHO shot JFK.
As for her not providing evidence of LHO’s innocence, maybe she doesn’t have any. Just because she doesn’t have any proof doesn’t mean that her statements that he was innocent aren’t true.
Another thought is that maybe she started saying he was innocent in order to protect her daughters.
I think that we need to take into account that she had been living in the USSR where police and such was very different.
My personal opinion is that LHO did shoot at General Walker. He probably threatened to shoot Nixon too. I believe the picture of him holding the rifle wasn’t altered. I also believe that the rifle was missing from Ruth Paine’s garage.
I believe that LHO was part of a conspiracy to assassinate JFK. I believe that he brought his rifle to work at the TSBD that day. I do not believe the Warren Commission Report. I don’t believe LHO acted alone. I don’t believe LHO shot JFK or Officer Tippit. So, yeah, I’m a conspiracy theorist but I still believe that LHO was in on it, that his rifle was used, but that he didn’t shoot anyone on that day.
My theory Is complicated. I don’t have irrefutable proof of anything. It’s just based on what I’ve read and watched. You may not (and probably don’t) agree with me. That’s ok. We are each entitled to our own opinions. We’re probably just going to have to agree to disagree.
I will say this. The doctor who saw JFK first at Parkland Hospital ER said the throat wound came from the front. It entered in the front of the throat and exited in the back. This doctor worked at Parkland Hospital ER and Parkland Hospital was and is a trauma center which means that the doctors who work in the ER see lots of gun shot wounds. The doctor absolutely knew what entry wounds looks like compared to exit wounds. The only reason that no one else identified the throat wound as having entered from the front is because while JFK was in trauma room one he was still alive barely.
He either had a blood pressure and no pulse or a pulse and no blood pressure. I don’t remember which. His breathing was what is called “agonal breathing”. It’s the breathing of a dying person. The medical personnel noticed that JFK wasn’t breathing normally so they did a tracheotomy and they used that bullet entry wound to do the tracheotomy. After that no one realized that that had been a bullet entry wound. They just thought the doctors made that hole to start the tracheotomy.
They wouldn’t have even done that if they’d seen the head wound sooner. He was lying on his back so the missing skull and brain weren’t immediately noticeable. Once they noticed it they stopped treatment because they knew there was no hope.
There was a bullet entry wound in his forehead up high so his hair covered it. I’ve seen a picture. The limo had a bullet hole in the windshield. While it was parked at the ER people noticed it so Secret Service moved the limo so that people couldn’t get close to it. A hole in the windshield indicates a bullet from the front which blows the Warren Commission Report right out of the water. There were also bullet fragments in the limo also.
I’m going to count and estimate the number of bullets not in any particular order.
-Bullet 1 hit the curb on Elm St across from the TSBD
-Bullet 2 front entry wound in throat JFK
-Bullet 3 hit Gov. Connally in the back, exited his chest, entered wrist, exited wrist, lodged in thigh
-Bullet 4 James Tague “on the upper, curved part of Main Street south curb, a "very fresh scar" impact that they believed indicated that a bullet had struck there and had taken a small chip out of the curb's concrete. They came to the conclusion that one bullet had ricocheted off the curb and the debris then hit Tague.” -Wikipedia James Tague
-Bullet 5 upper forehead entry wound JFK
-Bullets 6-8 (not sure if 1, 2, or 3 bullets) back of the head JFK
Eyewitnesses often claim to have only heard 3 shots. There may have been some silencers in use.
Oswald’s rifle, which I believe was used, but by someone other than Oswald, could only shoot 3 bullets within the time frame. So if there were 4 or more shots that means at least 2 shooters and 2 or more shooters means there was a conspiracy.
The CIA hated JFK. They made arrangements with Chicago mob boss Sam Giancanna to assassinate JFK. Most of the shooters were Mafia hit men.
One was LBJ’s personal hit man Malcolm “Mac” Wallace. Yes, LBJ was involved before, during, and after. He was the one who had the most to gain by JFK’s death. This was the only possible way that LBJ could be President. Long story.
There were more organizations and individuals involved. I’m not going to even attempt to list most or all.
Shooters were located as such. 2 in the 6th floor window of the TSBD nearest to Houston St. (The “sniper’s nest). 1 on the 6th floor TSBD at farthest window away from other 2. 2 in sewer drain on Elm St. 2 behind stockade fence (grassy knoll). 1 or 2 Dal-Tex building at corner of Main and Houston, across Houston from TBSD - either 1 on roof or 1 on 2nd floor or both.
I don’t expect you to agree with me. These are my thoughts on this based on information I’ve gathered.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
She was beautiful

1:10 The Russians are coming...
Why don't she talk about the facts about this assassination nowadays?
Because of her 2 daughter's
@@lennon1252 But her daughters have already known this historical fact about their father
@@SeR-HaT But they are alive and Marina wants to keep them alive. Why go around stirring up the pot 60 years later? What good would it do? They already know their father didn't kill anyone.
This woman is being controlled
Lies.
There is more to Marina than we realise. She was related to a KGB official. LHO was not the first former US serviceman doing the defection thing. She met and had unknown nature of relationships. Additionally. Given her background. She had to know Oswald was being put together by US intelligence after they came to the US. On the State Department dime mind you.
Ok... That's weird... She states "We did not have television", yet Ruth Payne commented in several interviews that "she turned on the TV so Marina could see what was going on when she woke up" interesting...
She’s talking about Oswald’s attempted assassination of General Walker about 7 months before the JFK assassination. The Oswalds were not living with Paine at that time.
