The Anatomy of a Cover-Up: Unveiling Secrets from Kennedy’s Autopsy

Secondly I want to discuss the very notorious autopsy carried out at the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. And the fact that his autopsy is widely considered one of the most botched and or possibly tampered with autopsies among somebody of his scale to ever exist.

Things like the failure to use expert pathologists in the autopsy as well as the failure to examine the president’s brain.

It all starts when Navy Surgeon General Edward C. Kenney ordered two naval medical doctors James Humes and J. Thornton Boswell to conduct the autopsy.

Humes was selected as the lead surgeon. Boswell who was the assistant had called the decision to conduct the autopsy at Bethesda “stupid” and argued that it should instead be held at the specialized Armed Forces Institute of Pathology just five miles away.

People often allege that the autopsy was possibly controlled by the military. And if you knew that during the 1969 trial of Clay Shaw for conspiring to assassinate Kennedy, pathologist Finck testified that when Humes asked “Who is in charge here?” An unknown army general stepped forward and said that he was.

You might think the exact same thing as well.

I mean it’s pretty crazy to think that the president of the United States who was killed by a gunshot wound. His very own autopsy would be carried out by two military pathologists who just so happened to have never done a legal gunshot autopsy in their entire careers and weren’t even trained let alone certified in forensic pathology. But even more so on top of that, the brain was never examined and it was never dissected.

What sense does any of that make to anybody?

In 1968 the U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark organized a medical panel to examine the autopsy’s photographs and X-rays. The panel concurred with the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Kennedy was killed by two shots from behind.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations which concluded that there likely was a conspiracy and that there had been an assassin in front of the president on the grassy knoll — also agreed with the Warren Commission. Nevertheless, due to procedural errors, discrepancies, and the 1966 disappearance of Kennedy’s brain from the National Archives which has been missing for over 60 years, the autopsy has become the subject of many conspiracy theories.
