Episode 5:

These videos were written by Canadian author Fred Litwin as a satire on the numerous conspiracy theories about the assassination oh President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

Fred Litwin is not really a Central Intelligence Agency Disinformation agent.

Fred Litwin is not really a Central Intelligence Agency employee at all.

At least I don’t think he is. Or maybe that’s just what THEY want us to think!

Countdown to Dallas, Episode 4

www.mattkprovideo.com/2025/06/05/14030/

One claim that conspiracists often make about the Kennedy Assassination is that a second person was spotted on the sixth floor of the Texas School  Book Depository minutes before the shooting proof, they claim, of a conspiracy

I’m Paul Brandus, author of Countdown to Dallas, and just minutes before the shooting there was indeed a second person on the sixth floor just steps from Lee Harvey Oswald and his sniper’s perch.

but this does not mean there was a conspiracy

Here now the rest of the story:

Around 5 minutes to 12 the Kennedy motorcade was underway headed for downtown Dallas.

At the depository, employees excited that the President would soon pass by, knocked off early for lunch.

as he was heading downstairs one  employee Bonnie Ray Williams said he saw Oswald 

at the depository employees excited that the president would soon pass by knocked off early for lunch
as he was heading downstairs one employee Bonnie Ray Williams said he saw Oswald on the fifth or sixth floor he wasn’t sure which
but moments later another employee Charles Given went to the sixth floor to get his cigarettes
there he saw Oswald
they had a brief conversation

Given said “Aren’t you going downstairs it’s near lunchtime.”
Oswald “No sir.”
Given left now minutes after that brief encounter Bonnie Ray Williams also returned to the sixth floor
“why?”
“To watch the presidential motorcade.”


At the time everyone was talking like they was going to watch from the sixth floor
Williams testified and while he waited for his buddies Williams ate his lunch a chicken sandwich and bottle of Dr pepper
he remembers sitting in front of the third or fourth window
Williams recalled quote “I couldn’t see too much of the sixth floor because the books at this time were stacked so high if there was anyone else up there on the sixth floor,”
Williams neither saw nor heard anyone
now here’s where it gets interesting
down on Houston Street a young man Arnold Roland was standing with his wife Barbara
looking around his eyes drifted up to the sixth floor of the depository
there in the corner window he saw a man holding a rifle with a telescopic site
roland assumed that this was a Secret Service agent there to protect the president
so it never occurred to him to point this man out to a nearby police officer
but Oswald was not the only person Roland saw on the sixth floor
his wandering eye also saw what he described as ” a colored man a few windows away”
this was Bonnie Ray Williams eating his lunch
now the other guys that he was going to watch the parade with
James Garman and Harold Norman were their names
had earlier been down on the sidewalk but decided the view would be better from the fifth floor of the depository
why the fifth floor?
because the sixth floor here shown that day was a jungle of boxes
by now as Garman recalled it’s between 12:20 and 12:25 just minutes before the assassination they were soon joined by Williams who had finished his lunch
leaving this greasy bag and empty soda bottle near the window
bonnie Ray Williams had been so close to Oswald while he ate that police and the media later thought the garbage had been Oswald’s
a month after the assassination this book published by United Press International and American Heritage repeated this mistake writing
in the caption quote “The sniper had dined on fried chicken and pop while waiting patiently to shoot the president.”
One report said “Wrong.”
But it does show just how close how tantalizingly close Bonnie Ray Williams sat to the man who was about to murder the president
this proximity helps explain why two other men on the street here at the southwest corner of Houston and Elm saw Oswald sitting perfectly still
their names Bob Edwards and Ronald Fiser
moments before the motorcade appeared Edwards spotting Oswald told Fiser quote “Look at that guy there in that window he looks like he’s uncomfortable.”
Were words to that effect
fischer chimed in quote “This man held my attention for 10 or 15 seconds all the time I watched him he never moved his head he never moved anything just was there transfixed
he looked to be 22 or 24 years old.”
It’s likely that Oswald who was 24 never moved because Bonnie Ray Williams as we’ve established was just feet away eating his lunch
meanwhile Oswald was also seen by yet another man who sat here tantalizingly close to the window his name was Howard Brennan
here’s Brennan at that spot in a recreation of November 22nd
he saw Oswald in the sixth floor window right above James Gar Harold Norman and Bonnie Ray Williams
who had by now joined his buddies on the fifth floor
“I saw this man on the sixth floor,” Brennan later testified he added “There was no other person on that floor that ever came to the window that I noticed there were people on the next floor down which is the fifth floor colored guys.”
The time frame here is about 12:22 which lines up with the Williams testimony
Brennan could give exact times because from his vantage point he could see the big clock the famous Hertz sign that in 1963 stood on the roof of the depository
now let’s go back to Ronald Fiser about 30 seconds before the shooting
30 seconds fischer looked up again an affidavit he gave to Dallas police that very day said
“I looked up at the window and noticed that he seemed to be laying down or in a funny position anyway because all I could see was his head.”
When the presidential car turned left onto Elm Street there was but one person on the sixth floor here in the southeast corner window not two as some conspirators have alleged
and now you know the rest of the story

The Warren Report was imperfect, and that makes it authentic

www.mattkprovideo.com/2024/09/23/the-warren-report-was-imperfect-and-that-makes-it-authentic/

Some thoughts on the flaws and imperfections in the Warren Report.

Some conspiracy theorists say they think that Lee Oswald was some kind of intelligence agent, maybe for the FBI or the CIA.


They also point out to many of the flaws, contradictions and overall imperfections of the story told in the Warren Report as evidence that it is false.


I’ve never been an FBI agent and neither have any of you, so I can only go on second hand reports of what its like to be one.


I really liked the movie “Donnie Brasco” and then I read the book. Agent Joe Pistone ( aka Donnie Brasco) tells what I can assume to be a true story of his time as an undercover FBI agent.


In the opening scene of the movie, Donnie Brasco takes a jewel from gangster Lefty Ruggiero and examines it with a “jewelers loupe.” A loupe is a handheld magnifying glass. After just a brief peek at the jewel, Brasco says to Ruggiero “this jewel is a fake!”

How could he tell that?

I read up on it and learned that a trained/prepared person can look at a jewel and tell if its real or fake because… real gems/jewels are organic natural things and are composed of crystals and such. A real organic jewel is authentic because you can see all of the naturally occurring flaws and imperfections that ALL natural authentic things have.
How can we tell the difference between a department store mannequin and a real human person? The mannequin is smooth and “perfect” and a real person has thousands of wrinkles, flaws and naturally occurring imperfections.

If you go into a furniture store and look at displays of kitchen furniture…
There will probably be a bowl of fruit on the table.


Fake fruit.


Whoever makes fake fruit have really upped their game. As a kid fake fruit looked ridiculously artificial. It looks more believable nowadays, but you can still tell its fake fruit because…. it looks too perfect. No flaws, no dents, no spots or imperfections. And even if its world class fake fruit that looks 100% real, as soon as you pick it up it feels fake and it has no smell.


Hundreds of books have picked apart the Warren Report and found many flaws. Some of these supposed flaws are exagerrations or outright lies from the conspiracy authors, but not all of them. There ARE imperfections in the Warren Report.

Which is all the more reason I think we should believe it.

Different witnesses describe the same thing vastly differently.
Does that mean one of them is lying? No, it means one or all of them brought their own personalities and emotional baggage to their memories of an event.

Different witnesses describe the rifle found as either a Mauser or a Mannlicher Carcano. Both conflicting reports are in the Warren Report.

Different witnesses describe the origin of the shots as coming from vastly different places. The conflicting testimonies are all included in the Warren Report.
Even the witnesses who said the shots came from the Book Depository disagreed as to which window the shot came from.

The paraffin and fingerprint evidence is less than perfect. These facts are are included in the Warren Report.

Some witness testimony seems to make it seem it couldn’t have been Oswald. These testimonies have not been suppressed.

Frazier said Oswalds package was only 2 feet long. His sister says it was between 2 or 3 feet long. A man at the door of the depository says he didn’t see Oswald with any package at all.
These 3 stories contradict each other and go against the official Lone Gunman narrative. But they are all included in the final report.

The witnesses of the Tippet shooting almost universally disagree on the details. They give different descriptions of of the time, Oswald/s hair, the color of his jacket, even the color of HIM ( his skin). They give different descriptions of the direction he was walking in. All of these conflicting testimonies were included in the final Warren Report.

The Dallas cop who knocked on Ruth Paine’s door said she said “come in we’ve been expecting you”
She says she didn’t say that.


Explanation?

One of them is lying? Both of them are lying?

One or both of them “mis remembered” the incident?


These 2 contradicting statements are both in the final report.
(By the way fellow JFK buffs….. Surely Ruth Paine had numerous visits from law enforcement after November 22. Did she maybe say that on a different visit from the cops? Im not saying she DID, I just wonder if….. maybe???)

An FBI rifle expert test fired Oswalds rifle and found several flaws with it. The scope was off, it sometimes jammed and it often fired “high and to the right.” These flaws were all included in the Warren Report.

Some witnesses went from being “Maybe I saw Oswald” witnesses to “It was definitely Oswald” witnesses. Someone got them to change their story?

One of the autopsy doctors burned his original bloody autopsy notes and turned in a cleaner, bloodless copy. Conspiracy Theorists think there was something different, perhaps incriminating in the original notes.
If that were the case, then WHY do we know about the original notes? If the second version of the notes were a part of some kind of deception, why do we KNOW that they are a second version? If I were that autopsy Doctor and and some gun wielding agent of “The Conspiracy” had threatened me and coerced me into writing up a second autopsy report with different information, then ordered me to burn the original, I would be too terrified to ever ever EVER tell anyone what I had done.


Whats the best way to keep a secret?


Don’t tell anyone.


Why did the autopsy Doctor TELL us he burned his first version of the notes??? If he were (forced to be?) in on a cover up, wouldn’t he just tell us the second notes were the first notes?

How would ANYONE ever know about the first notes if he didnt tell us?


Doesn’t everything, (EVERYTHING!) ever created in this world have a first draft?

A first version that ends up night and day different from what eventually gets released?

A company like Microsoft probably has many people working on a new software before it gets released. They probably create dozens, if not hundreds of revised versions of the software before they THINK they’re done? And even then, isn’t it all but expected by both the company and the customers that there is a 99.9% chance there are flaws and imperfections in their “final” version, and we should expect them to release Version 1 point two, version 1 point two, 1 point three in the weeks after we buy the software?

And of course there are the theories of The Mysterious Deaths and the suppressed/altered evidence.


We’ve all seen the part of GOODFELLAS wherein DeNiro’s character Jimmy kills everyone who might slip up and expose the Lufthansa heist:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyAK1iXqxiQ


And there is the similar THEORY that the criminals who killed JFK then went and killed anyone who might expose them.


J. Edgar Hoover, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, all the members of the Warren Commission and President Lyndon Johnson were all supposedly afraid to speak up against “the conspiracy,” but various housewives, waitresses and other powerless nobodies were NOT afraid to speak up and appeared in various JFKA documentaries with no ill response to them.


We can easily disprove the “Mysterious Deaths” by seeing who WASN’T silenced. Ruth Paine and Marina Oswald are still alive, as well as several other witnesses who said things contrary to the Lone Gunman theory. And most if not most of all contrary witnesses lived for decades after the assassination and died of natural causes after telling their accounts to numerous magazine and book authors with no repercussions.

The official story of the Zapruder film and other autopsy materials was that they was suppressed (kept from the public) because they were too graphic and offensive. The CT story is that they were suppressed in order to hide the truth.
And yet the pictures and film(s) eventually leaked out anyway.

If the Warren Report really was one big lie, if it really left out/altered anything that might prove a conspiracy, why did they leave in all of these contradictions and imperfections?

If it was all a fake, they would have left out ALL of the contradictory testimony. In a fake Warren Report there wouldn’t be these one or two people who thought they saw a Mauser. In a fake Warren Report every witness would have seen Oswald’s Carcano and no other.

A fake Warren Report would tell us of perfect fingerprints on the rifle and boxes and a faked paraffin test would have found definite proof that Oswald fired a rifle (and pistol).
A fake Warren Report with coerced/altered testimony would have Frazier his sister, his mother and the door monitor seeing an over 3 foot long package in Oswald’s hand. They would have maybe even seen the rifle peeking out from the paper bag.

A faked Warren Report would have had all of the Tenth and Patton witnesses seen the same thing. Definitely Oswald, definitely at the right time for him to have walked from the rooming house.

A faked Warren Report would have the FBI rifle expert report that the rifle was perfect and absolutely capable of doing what the WC said it did.

A powerful conspiracy would NEVER leave outsiders/civilians alone with the photos and films and give them a chance to make copies/smuggle them out.

If the burning of the autopsy notes was in pursuit of keeping a secret, why do we know of the first version? We should only know about the second version, and not know it WAS a second version.
I know if I altered/forged something, I wouldn’t tell anyone about the first version. Its not like the autopsy notes were turned in, included in the final report and then years later someone put in a new/different version.

Oswald’s rifle is a few inches different than the one in the ad. Proof of a conspiracy?
Lee Oswald was the first, last and only person in the history of the world to get something through mail order that was a little different than what was advertised?!?!?
A high powered conspiracy wouldn’t make an error like that.


I read somewhere ( I can’t remember where) that Gary Shaw ( of the Sixth Floor Museum) bought a copy of the gun magazine that Oswald ordered his rifle from. AND he also bought the next months issue- and in THAT issue the same company ( Klein’s) was selling Carcano rifles that were the same length that Oswald got. So that explains the discrepancy, they ran out of 40.2 inch rifles and started filling orders with the second lot. I wonder if anyone at Kleins even KNEW that the second lot of rifles was slightly different. I wonder if Oswald himself even realized the rifle in his hands was a few inches off from what he ordered>

Lee’s mother and wife described the details and the number of backyard photos differently. Why didn’t the conspiracy alter their testimonies to make them match up?

The Dallas Police said they remembered finding a Minox spy camera in Ruth Paine’s house. The FBI said the same item was a light meter. Why include BOTH descriptions in the final Report?


And if Ruth Paine WAS some kind of spooky agent, and IF she WAS expecting the Police to show up soon, why would she SAY “We’ve been expecting you”?


If she were a spook and was expecting the Police to show up, why didn’t she get rid of any supposedly incriminating evidence from her house? The Minox spy camera, the “aluminum file cabinets of spy reports” and anything else that might tie her to a conspiracy?

Yes the Warren Report is full of imperfections. Which is proof that it was organic and real.

Stock Footage, construction / road paving

Here is some stock footage I shot of some road paving happening in my neighborhood.

The video was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 3 Drone and edited with Adobe Premiere.

If someone is making some kind of project that needs a shot of road work ( you never know!) they can contact me about using it. A commercial? A corporate video that at some point mentions road construction? Road Repair?

These videos were recorded March 5, 2024 at approximately 4:00pm, on Briarcrest Road in the 78247 neighborhood of San Antonio,Texas.
