The Mystery Behind the Disappearance of JFK’s Brain

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. This remains one of the most controversial events in recent history, as there are many mysteries surrounding this event, including whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald acted on his own. However, one of the lesser-known mysteries surrounding JFK’s assassination is the fact that his brain has been missing from the national archives since 1966, three years after his assassination. Professional and amateur investigators have long speculated about JFK’s brain whereabouts, pointing to the autopsy as one of the key factors behind its disappearance, given that the autopsy was also extremely controversial. Still, 61 years later, no one knows where the former President’s brain is, but there are some theories put forward by investigators that might further explain this mystery. JFK’s autopsy is widely considered botched and imprecise. It was conducted hastily and under unusual circumstances given that the most powerful man on the planet had just been assassinated. The procedure was carried out at Bethesda Naval Hospital. What is known for a fact, however, is that JFK’s brain was removed during the autopsy. It was then preserved in formalin and taken to the National Archives in a stainless steel container. In 1966, three years after the President was assassinated, the National Archives were taking inventory and discovered the President’s brain was missing. It is also worth mentioning that the brain was placed in a container alongside tissue samples, bone fragments, photographs, and X-rays. The container was originally moved by Evelyn Lincoln, JFK’s secretary, as part of the organization of the President’s presidential papers. According to historical sources, JFK’s brain was removed from his body during the autopsy because it could’ve been key in understanding the bullet trajectories. In 1972, a New York Times article reported that it could potentially disprove the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The 1972 New York Times article also suggests that the mystery behind JFK’s missing brain might not be a mystery at all and that the Kennedy family took it. Despite the article saying that a spokesman for the Kennedy family said that “all evidence surrounding the president’s assassination had been turned over to the National Archives,” a Dr. Cyril H. Wecht thought the Kennedy family took it. At the time of this article, it was revealed that Wecht, one of the Warren Commission’s harshest critics, spent two days at the National Archives looking at the evidence, and it simply wasn’t there. This is yet another instance of conflicting accounts, as Evelyn Lincoln then disclosed through government interviews that the brain had been delivered to a representative of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1965.

Kennedy’s brain remain unknown.

JFK's grandson that Democrats have set their hopes on for 2028

Following the news that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, Democrats are turning to an unexpected person to take on the Republican party in 2028: John F. Kennedy's social media star grandson Jack Schlossberg. Ever since it was announced that Donald, 78, was heading back to office, X, formerly Twitter, has been flooded with posts from people begging Jack, 31, to run for president in the next election. (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-14055385/jack-schlossberg-jfk-grandson-democrat-president-candidate-2028-election.html) Many have pointed out that the Vogue political correspondent will be 35 years old during the next election - the minimum age required to be president - and announced that they would vote for him if he joined the race. Harvard Law School graduate Jack previously expressed his desires to follow in his famous grandfather's footsteps and enter the world of politics to Vogue. Jack - the son of JFK and his wife, Jackie Kennedy Onassis' only surviving child, Caroline Kennedy, and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg - attended Yale University for college, followed by Harvard Law School for his masters. He received his J. D. and MBA from the latter and passed the Bar exam in 2022. He has long shown an interest in politics, mingling with top officials at a young age alongside his famous mom and delivering numerous politically-driven speeches over the years.

Trump set for clash with CIA over release of JFK secret files

Donald Trump is facing a clash with the CIA over a promise to release top secret files about John F Kennedy’s assassination. Mr Trump pledged on the campaign trail to release “all of the remaining documents” relating to the 1963 shooting, which has been the subject of long-running conspiracy theories. The nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr, the former president’s nephew, as Mr Trump’s health secretary has given fresh impetus to calls for the files to be made public. After accepting Mr Kennedy’s endorsement in August, the president-elect said he would set up a taskforce to release the documents as a “tribute in honour of Bobby”. Mr Kennedy, who claims the CIA were directly involved in the assassination of his uncle, last year launched a petition calling for the Biden administration to release the last of the government’s records to “help to restore” trust in the government. Experts believe Mr Trump could have a fight on his hands if the agency pushes back against releasing the documents when he returns to the White House. “There’s going to be a conflict,” warned Jefferson Morley, an expert and editor of JFK Facts. (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/16/donald-trump-set-clash-cia-release-jfk-secret-files/) Others have warned that a clash with the CIA is inevitable at this point, given Mr Trump’s repeated claims he will have the documents released. Under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, all government documents about the assassination were to be made publicly available by October 2017. However, the law permitted their release to be delayed for national security and privacy reasons. Under his previous administration, Mr Trump had pledged to unseal the remaining 15,000 documents containing redactions but was then allegedly persuaded out of doing so by Mike Pompeo, his CIA director.

JFK Staged His Own Murder In An ‘Amateur Spy Film’ Two Months Before His Assassination

A haunting home film has recently surfaced in the media that depicts never-before-seen images of a 1963 home movie directed by Jacqueline Kennedy in which JFK acted out his own assassination. The long-lost home movie made by the president and first lady on the last weekend of the summer before his death is now being revisited by critics after two attempts this year on the life of Donald Trump. Available on the website of the John F. Kennedy Library the silent picture, some 16 minutes long, was shot on the weekend of September 21 and 22. (https://www.jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/archives/jfkppp-27) The footage depicts scenes of Kennedy, his family, and a few friends at various locations around Newport, Rhode Island, including Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. In one of the film’s poignant scenes, JFK sits in the captain’s chair on the deck of the presidential yacht, the Honey Fitz, reading the palms of Anita Fay, wife of JFK’s wartime companion and Navy undersecretary, Paul “Red” Fay. Kennedy then shows the pair his hands, which he interprets as lifelines. What did he see? What exactly did he say? Remarkably, the home movie has not seen the light of day until now, and the fact that the president would be assassinated two months later gives it an eerie feeling. Details of the film recently became public after Paul Landis, the First Lady’s Secret Service agent, released a memoir, The Final Witness, which also includes the revelation that JFK had discovered an intact bullet in the presidential limo on the day of his assassination. Chief photographer’s mate Robert L. Knudsen, a sailor posted to the White House, was requested by Jackie Kennedy to photograph the presidential party on the Honey Fitz and then follow them back to Hammersmith Farm, along with the Secret Service, to chronicle a fake assassination of JFK as part of a handmade espionage thriller she and the president had planned. The first lady had made an unusual request, and explained that she and the president were making a humorous short film—a kind of spy movie. And she asked if the agents wouldn’t mind participating. According to Landis, Jackie instructed the agents to rush up to the main home and respond as if they had just heard bullets. Landis claims the agents entered the residence and discovered the president lying on the floor in the entryway, splattered with ketchup. Jackie sat up on the staircase, directing the activity from the same position where she and JFK were photographed on their wedding day. Everyone understood it was a prank and thought it odd but typical of the mischievous, playful atmosphere the first couple sanctioned when outside of public view. Everyone applauded and laughed when the filming was complete, completely unaware that life would imitate art in the near future. According to a detailed Vanity Fair article about the film, Kennedy had always wanted to write his own espionage books. JFK’s fascination with 007 creator Ian Fleming began in 1954 when he read Casino Royale while recovering from back surgery. Throughout the 1960 campaign, he had secret meetings with Fleming. A year later, when Time-Life Magazine reported on the new president’s reading habits, Kennedy commended Fleming’s work. “Like many of the world’s leaders,” Times wrote, “he has a weakness for detective stories, especially those of British author Ian Fleming and his fictitious undercover man, James Bond.” (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/jfk-staged-murder-home-movie-hammersmith-farm/) Looking back, watchers can not help but see the film as a prophecy. “I wondered if it was a premonition he had or a quirk of fate.”

AI-generated advice on seeking justice for JFK

Pursuing justice in the case of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination requires a balance of historical scrutiny, modern investigation techniques, and a commitment to transparency. Here are potential steps for such an endeavor:

1. Revisiting the Evidence

Analyze Declassified Files: Many government documents related to the assassination have been declassified in recent years, but some remain hidden. Advocating for complete transparency could provide insights into the event's underlying motives and actors.

Re-examine Physical Evidence: Advances in forensic science could be applied to revisit evidence, such as the infamous "magic bullet" theory or Zapruder film analysis.

1. Facilitating Independent Investigations

Establish an Independent Committee: A new, unbiased investigative body with access to all available materials could reassess the case free from political pressure.

Global Collaboration: Inviting international experts and historians could help identify any overlooked patterns, providing a fresh, objective perspective.

1. Identifying and Closing Loopholes

Strengthen Legal Accountability: Examine how legal, intelligence, or procedural loopholes allowed the event to occur. This ties to JFK’s own mention of legislative measures before his passing.

Assess Failures in Oversight: Address potential intelligence agency lapses and their role in enabling or failing to prevent the assassination.

1. Utilizing Technology

AI and Data Analysis: Employ artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of data, cross-referencing details from the Warren Commission, House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), and other records for inconsistencies or patterns.

Crowdsourced Investigations: Engage the public in reviewing released records, enabling diverse perspectives and collective scrutiny.

1. Challenging the Official Narrative

Expose Contradictions: Bring attention to the discrepancies between the Warren Commission's findings and the HSCA's later conclusion that JFK was likely assassinated as part of a conspiracy.

Encourage Open Debate: Through forums, documentaries, and academic research, maintain focus on the unanswered questions, ensuring they are not dismissed as mere conspiracy.

1. Preserve and Honor Legacy

Educate Future Generations: Integrate unbiased, detailed accounts of the assassination and its implications into educational curriculums to keep the lessons relevant.

Host Public Hearings: Open dialogue around unresolved aspects of the case fosters trust and collective participation in seeking justice.

Justice Beyond Legal Verdicts

True justice lies not only in identifying individuals or groups responsible but also in ensuring that the lessons of this tragedy are understood and that mechanisms are in place to prevent such occurrences in the future. The pursuit of truth honors JFK’s legacy and protects democracy from the shadows of secrecy.

JFK daughter says her cousin’s RFK Jr’s stance on vaccines was dangerous

Outgoing US ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy has described Donald Trump’s choice to install her cousin, vocal anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy Jnr, as the incoming Health Secretary, as “dangerous”. In a rare comment from the ambassador on US politics, Ms Kennedy – the daughter of assassinated President John F Kennedy – said her cousin’s long-held views around vaccinations were concerning, although not surprising. “I think (his) views on vaccines is dangerous, but I don’t think that most Americans share them. So we’ll just have to wait and see what happens,” she said during her National Press Club address on Monday. “I’ve grown up with him, so I have known all this for a long time and others are just getting know him.” (https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/us-ambassador-caroline-kennedy-says-donald-trumps-pick-for-health-secretary-has-dangerous-views/news-story/) Although the appointment needs to be confirmed by the Senate, Mr Kennedy has been criticised by major health organisations, including the World Health Organisations for stating childhood vaccines cause autism. He’s also called for the removal of fluoride in drinking water, despite the chemical being proven to air oral health and prevent cavities. Ambassador Kennedy also said his views did not align with most of the Kennedy family, which includes the late senator Ted Kennedy, who she said spent 50 years fighting for affordable healthcare which was legislated under president Barack Obama.
