JFK Blown Away. What Else Do I Have to Say?

For those of us who remember Deathpool1963, we know the shock of seeing President John F. Kennedy assassinated (he was on two rosters: “Cuban Missile Die-sis” and – presciently - “Happy Birthday, Mr. Deadisent”). And we remember the aftermath when we found out that it was the Federal Reserve, the CIA, the KGB, the Illuminati, the Mafia, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Fidel Castro, George H. W. Bush someone behind it.

When it comes to the Kennedy assassination, conspiracy theories abound, including not only who did it, but also how many people did it, the nature of the wound, where there was a decoy hearse. Crazy, right? The thing is… this is not going to help: The Dallas hospital room where JFK died, Parkland Memorial Hospital Trauma Room No. 1, now resides in Kansas.

Parkland modernized their hospital 35 years ago and the entire room- including the examination table, clocks, tiling, lockers, trash cans, surgical instruments, gloves, cotton balls, and a towel dispenser – was bought by the federal government. All of it was placed in a locked vault in a Fort Worth warehouse run by the National Archives and Records Administration where it stayed until September, when they were moved to an archives facility in Lenexa, Kansas.

The question on all our minds: When can we go to Kansas to see it?

"It's in a secure location," Reed Whitaker, the agency's Central Plains Region administrator, confirmed last week. "Basically, it's not to be examined, not to be shown to the press, not to be photographed, not to be exhibited to the public."

I see. Maybe we should un-strikethrough that first paragraph. I guess we will have to track down Dr. Stanley Goodspeed if we ever want to know the truth…
