(51,907 posts)54. The Murder of JFK: Another Puzzle Piece Solved
http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/32954-focus-the-murder-of-jfk-another-puzzle-piece-solved
What the mainstream media has not yet realized is that the JFK case is being solved, thanks largely to the brute force of the power of the Internet. As in most suppressed stories, the revelations come one piece at a time. The following story is illustrative of how social media is able to force long-hidden stories to break open.
Just two years ago, the story of the murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit on November 22, 1963, took a most unexpected twist.
A local TV newscast showed footage taken by the local ABC affiliate WFAA on that date more than 50 years ago. In the film, Dallas police captain Pinky Westbrook can be seen handling a wallet at the scene of Tippits murder. It appears to be the wallet of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
What makes the footage remarkable is that the official story was that the wallet was not found until about an hour later, when Dallas police detective Paul Bentley removed it from Oswalds back pocket shortly after taking him into custody at the Texas Theatre, several blocks away from where Tippit was gunned down.
FBI agent Bob Barrett, who was at the scene of Tippits murder and is still alive in Pell City, Alabama, now calls Paul Bentleys story hogwash.
The wallet is important because its contents connected Oswald to the guns used in the murder of President Kennedy and Officer Tippit

Remarkable, considering how Corporate McPravda has only played the lone nut tune since Nov. 22, 1963
