Episode 208 The Secret Service Question Part 19 Doug Weldon Part 2

JFK The Enduring Secret

Episode 208 is the nineteenth in a series covering the Secret Service and possible involvement in the coverup, or the actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Today's episode is part 6 and the final episode of a multi part mini-series covering the presidential limousine and the hole in the windshield. In today's episode, we hear for the second time directly, from Doug Weldon who is considered the premier expert on assassination research as it relates to the limousine and this topic. Episodes 207 and 208, which feature Doug Weldon, complete our series on the limousine and the bullet hole in the windshield. This episode 208 tells the story of the destruction of the windshield at the Ford Rouge Plant in Dearborn Michigan and the creation of a replacement windshield. A story told by Ford Motor Company witness George Whittaker. Mr. Whittaker is a glass expert and also verifies that the hole in the original windshield came from the front. Before Mr. Whittaker was identified, there was great suspicion around the limousine and its windshield. Questions abounded. Episode 208 solves the mystery of what happened to the original windshield and that a bullet passed from the front, right through it. No longer do we need to ask, was there a bullet hole through and through in the windshield? And if so, then did it come from the front.. or the back? And what happened to the evidence of it. Prior to these revelations from George Whittaker, there was a mountain of unanswered questions....How did the government overcome at least ten eyewitnesses who saw the hole? How was this evidence suppressed? Why were these witnesses never spoken to about the hole? Why does the official piece of evidence, the windshield, sitting in the national archives today, show no evidence of a bullet hole? Is it a forgery? If so, is there a fantastic tale surrounding how this rather surreptitious event occurred. And if it did occur, what does that say about the work of the secret service and the FBI as it relates to the forensic review of the limousine? Why didn't the secret service follow basic crime scene protocols to preserve the epicenter of the crime...which was the limousine? Join us in this nail biter and when it's all over, and you hear the story and the first hand accounts from eye witnesses, go ahead and conclude on your own about what really happened to the windshield. And whether there really was a shot from the front. Could this resolve the issue of where and how a shot came to pierce the front of President Kennedy's neck...an entrance wound and not part of the hypothesis that came become the single bullet or "magic bullet" theory. And if it is true that the Secret Service obfuscated this evidence, then what does that mean in terms of more expansive elements of the coverup, or even involvement.
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
