Living History with Hugh Aynesworth 

RIP Hugh. Thank you for what you did in documenting history and giving the public the truth.

What an interesting man. I could sit and listen to his stories all night.

@52:50 People do NOT enjoy a conspiracy, we do not enjoy being constantly lied to. The whole world would have ENJOYED a president who was a seeker of peace, a true humanitarian.

I met Hugh at the Sixth Floor Museum a few years back when Alexandra Zapruder gave a talk about her grandfather. He’s not only a gentleman but he’s an authority who was in on this story from the first rifle crack. I asked him his view on whether Oswald did it. His response- “I will go to my grave knowing firmly in my heart that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy.”

Thank you...every video I watched I am impressessed at what an excellent interviewer you are.

Wow as an assassination junkie, I would love to have a conversation with hugh

@ 16:00 Journalist turns cop and runs in to a suspected 'hideout' armed with a pencil?

Thank you !

LHO was never tried or convicted.

Great interview. Good job. Thanks!!

This guy is amazing. I suggest they sign him up. Who needs the police-He's COLUMBO and JESSICA FLETCHER ALL IN ONE!-

What an amazing historical perspective . like Forrest Gump he was everywhere. The Same attitude and secrecy and humanity of it all of where he got the papers with the results of the interviews just adds to questions . How have we allowed final Documents to be pushed back another 30 years. Everyone deserves complete transparency by now. Let’s start with JFK . In hIs spirit and in his honor

He says he can't remember to this day how he got Oswald's address on Beckley Street., yet he can remember so much else with clarity. Interesting,

12:44 "...I looked up at that window at 2:00...I could see...": 2:00? Kennedy was shot at 12:30 CST...1.5 hours before 2:00 PM! Tippet was shot at 1:10PM...50 minutes before he rushed to that scene with the other news crew. Oswald got there quicker.

I like this mans candor . He speaks the truth by the way he conducted himself ! I do believe if most news journalist were as straight forward with stories as he does we the people would understand more ! Truth is truth something that goes way beyond anything else . That even goes for the January 6th insurrection who knew it and when did they know it then why cover the story . Facts must be told We the deserve the truth of that day as well ! What this man has seen and done his life is a lift in humanity and breath of fresh air ! As Isaid truth is truth I salute his ability too get at that truth ! Think about it .

I always wonder why Brennan (I think was his name) was the only person who got such a great look at Oswald that he could describe him so perfectly with such a short glimpse of him, especially his height, unless he knew the height of the window from the floor?

Got Hugh's autographed book in Dallas, and it is an exciting read. Thanks Hugh for remaining rational about the events of that day.

amazing that a witness said that he saw OSWALD! up at the window on the sixth floor. Got his build right, his height right and his weight right- never mind how his face looked! Touch of the old Clark Kent going on here.

During this interview,not one person asked him about the headshot in the Zepruder film.To me like many people feel that the bullet came from the front.I also don't believe he ever had in his possession these75 witness affidavits.You would be stupid to let someone you have hardly known to take and barrow them.

Kept a diary my ass! His nose just grew again....

Radio program was Inter-sanctum.

Near the end of the Zapruder film you see two guys running to the left, away from Oswald’s third shot. If there were shots coming from the grassy knoll they would have been running directly into the line of fire. Not likely.

I like this man and I like hearing his stories. I firmly believe that his belief of Oswald and the Warren Commission story is completely wrong. It just doesn’t add up at any point. I do believe he was a part, he played a roll on the assassination plan but only to take the fall unbeknownst to him. Same goes for Ruby to some degree.

Yahoo

The comedian (50:07) must have been Mort Sahl.

I can`t believe that in 2017 in this video, Oswald is still portrayed as the assassin!???!!! My God, are the Americans really living under a rock?

I'd been suspicious that conspiracy people had to be from one political faction or the other but rather I've found that Republicans, Democrats and Independents in equal numbers believe in Conspiracy. How nice to find something they can be wrong about together. 💘

I like how if you don't buy his story you are a child in a classroom who should be laughed at by the audience. Subliminal programming done right.

When are you people going to get it right and call Oswald the accused assassin? NOT THE ASSASSIN! He never admitted doing it. He did not have fingerprints on the so called assassins rifle. He passed the paraffin test. And unfortunately he never had a trial. PLEASE GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT!

I listened right up until the reporter said he thought Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, are you serious? How can people still believe that in 2017?

I believe the testimony of the Parkland doctors. Oswald didn't act alone.

Thankfully, someone who tells it like it is. He was there. He saw it. And there is no doubt Oswald was everywhere where he was supposed to be: 1) In the building 2) At the scene of Tippetts killing 3) Movie Theater. I've watched almost everything on this topic and the more I watch these interviews, etc.. the more I believe Oswald is the only one that did it. Case Closed!

The presentation is interesting. While I'm undecided about whether a conspiracy happened or whether Oswald acted alone, the investigation was handled poorly. If the investigation had been handled better, there wouldn't have been much room for conspiracy theories.

Respectfully, I must take issue on Hugh’s assessment of why some hated Kennedy in Texas. He said that some hated him because he was Catholic and a Democrat. It is well known that Texas was totally Blue in those days, Republicans were just not a factor in statewide elections. The people holding the anti-UN posters were more than likely southern conservative Democrats. So the hate was interparty as these Southern Democrats took exception to a northern Catholic liberal. The Democrat Convention of 1968 was when the party made its move to be left of center and that continues today. But anyway, to say Kennedy was a hated because he was a Democrat in this context is just not true. Hugh is a true legend and I respect him and his storied career, but he in several instances in the video allows his bias in the context of today’s political environment cloud his memory of what is historical fact.

The House investigation showed that there was two shooters based on the police radio microphone. Case closed.

Hugh lays out the facts in a clear, concise and reasonable manner. No wild speculation! Thanks Hugh, you’re a rare gentleman!

Who's been to Dealey Plaza?

YES! NO conspiracy so let it go people

If oswald shot Tippett then where is the .38 auto?

Translation: the description had nothing right about it except "slender build" and maybe the height. 13:00

"3 shots were fired" The cornerstone of the Failed Warren Commission. It is a particularly difficult notion, and even more difficult to maintain statements like that when we now have more bullets found at Parkland than were supposedly shot. Inconvenient.

It’s amazing how Aynesworth was everywhere Oswald was! I would venture to say a tad too amazing…and convenient, especially if you were out to frame Oswald! Again, we have an account of the assassination that ignores certain vital facts and instead rushes to judgment in establishing the absolute guilt of a man who was himself murdered before he could fight the charges. Get it through your thick heads, Oswald was and will always remain the “alleged” assassin!

If you were in texas in 1963... You were in on it too.

So someone points at the 6th floor window & gives a description, height, weight etc. which was broadcast by police. Rubbish. Even if King Kong was up there with a rifle, you just can't estimate the height & weight of anyone in a crouching position 6 floors up behind a partly open window raised slightly above floor level. The description was provided by Hoover befor the big event. The 6th floor Museum would have more credibility if they moved across the road to the former Daltex building.

He sounds like he had a lot of people he didn't like. Do we believe arlen specter about the magic bullet or officer weitzman who was a firearms expert and signed an affidavit that they found a 7.65 mauser on the 6th floor. Specter declared that the magic bullet created 7 wounds. That must be a new world record.

Oswald didn't do it folks.

Hugh is worried about fake news? He was a pusher back in the day!! Just not the drug kind. I like the story of how he got his butt kicked by a married man. The people in " journalism" are the ones who have hurt " journalism".

Vern Pascal Your post is incorrect and nonsense. You clearly do not understand the facts: You state: "Wrong! Over 40 witnesses heard shots come from the overpass/Knoll" Of the 163 witnesses who testified initially to the DPD, FBI and WC, approx 39% thought ALL the shots came from the right front - including the overpass. Approx 55% of these witnesses thought ALL the shots came from the TSBD area and high up. Less than ten persons thought the shots came from more than one direction. As we know that two shots at least came from the rear, we can deduce that the group who thought all the shots came from the front were mistaken. 12 workers and 2 DPD were on the overpass - no one could have fired from there and nor would they - they had no cover. Lee Bowers in the signal box overlooking the GK area stated there was no one behind the fence at the time of the shots. Zapruder and Sitzman stated there were no shots to their right from the GK area - from which they were only a few feet away. You state: "including Dave Powers and Kennedy O'Donnell" Yes they thought all the shots came from the front - ALL the shots. They were wrong and they accepted that. "the proof that the fatal; shot came from the right front is not only the Z Film," The Z film does not prove - as in with 100% certainty where the head shot came from but it comes very close to doing so and that is from the rear: The head is propelled forwards by 2.5 inches on impact at 7 feet per second. The head is also forced DOWN. 85% of the visible blood spatter is propelled forwards of the EOP where the bullet entered. All the 5 visible pieces of bone are propelled up and forwards of the head. Zapruder frames 312 to 313. You will NOT see this movement at normal speed it is TOO fast. Google "Zapruder frames Costella Edit" download all 486 frames for free. The two bone fragments found in the grass including the Harper fragment were found several feet forwards of the location of JFK's position when he was hit. "don't insult us with any Neurospasm is quicker than a speeding bullet garbage at 2500-3000 feet per second which is going to be through the head before any opposite reaction" The back and to the left movement is MUCH slower than that and your figures are incorrect anyway. The bullet that struck JFK was travelling at approx 1900 ft per second. The back and to the left movement is about 1/5th of the speed of the forward head movement. Had JFK been struck from the front, his head would have been pushed back by approx 3 inches within a fraction of a second - ie about 1/20th. It is not. "and that is the earliest statements of The Dallas Doctors." Non of the Dallas doctors commented in the source of the head shot on Nov 22 1963. Perry stated he thought the neck wound looked like an entry - as it was very small. He then stated he was wrong - which he was - and wrong to speculate. Subsequently the Dallas doctors expressed their recollection of the location of the wound and they were divided. They never voiced a "group" opinion that tallied. That is a myth. 8 thought the wound was above the ear and extended toward the temple. 4 thought the wound was right in the back of the head. 4 thought the wound was above the ear and extended back round the head. This is typical - a recent study in the US showed that ER doctors are wrong in court approx 50% of the time when it comes to details like precise wound placement and side of body. This is exactly what happened in Dallas. Subsequently all but 2 of the 16 attending doctors accepted that the wound was indeed where the autopsy showed it to be. The skull x-rays show fractures radiating outwards from back to front. The skull x rays show the exit wound to be above the ear extending to the temple. The Zapruder film confirms this. Ignorance is bliss Vern Pascal hey. You are wrong on almost every point you make - you were right about Powers and O'Donnell and that is it. The level of knowledge of facts ref this case here in some cases is simply embarrassing and your post is a great example of that. For people reading here, if you want to understand the shooting try the web sites of David Von Pein and Prof John McAdams (McAdams Post). If you want to understand the shots, wounds and ballistics read Larry Sturdivan "The JFK Myths". Documentaries abound, some are excellent Inside the Target Car and JFK the Lost Bullet are on You tube. The work of the Haags (father and son) is recent and worth checking out.

Come on ... he was at bottom of ladder when Armstrong stepped on the moon too .. talk about lucky sob...

Another propaganda film.

So clearly this guy is controlled opposition, right?

With the work of the Assassination Records Review Board, many more pages of documents have been released showing how tightly bound Aynesworth was with the intelligence community. It has been demonstrated that Aynesworth was - at the minimum - working with the Dallas Police, Shaw's defense team, and the FBI. He was also an informant to the White House, and had once applied for work with the CIA. As noted elsewhere, in the annals of this case, there is no reporter (with the exception of Walter Sheridan) who had such extensive contacts with those trying to cover up the facts in the JFK case. And only two come close: Edward Epstein and Gerald Posner.

Nellie lied. Lol.

No no no no no to all this..

i am with the kid, he is the C.I.A reporter.... i kid

Sorry, but I'm just not buying what he's selling. Why? Well for starters about forty witnesses in Dealey Plaza either saw a muzzle flash, saw gun smoke, smelled gunpowder or believed at least one shot came from the area of picket fence on the grassy knoll. The simple fact is that LBJ chose to limit the scope of the Warren Investigation to precisely follow the outline given in FBI Director Hoover's November 29th, 1963 preliminary report to LBJ. We know this because LBJ continued Kennedy's practice of recording his phone and office conversations. He is on tape saying that very thing to Hoover during a phone call that day. Once together the Warren Commissioners realized they were boxed in to essentially rubber stamp the conclusion i Hoover's preliminary report. Reliable witnesses to the presence of a knoll shooter included Dallas PD motorcycle policeman who dropped his bike at street level and ran up the Knoll where he smelled gunpowder, only to be turned away by a man flashing what appeared to be legitimate Secret Service Identification. Many now believe that man was CIA covert operator Bernard Barker, who was arrested about a decade later while participating in the Watergate Break-in. Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough also claimed he smelled gun powder while in the motorcade on Elm Street. He was in the car with LBJ and his wife, two cars behind the Kennedy limousine. So unless Lee Oswald was simultaneously shooting from the 6th floor of the TSBD AND firing from the picket fence on the Grassy Knoll, we have at least two shooters. That, ladies and gentlemen, is proof of a conspiracy, not the actions of an angry lone nut. For the 6th Floor Museum to continue to perpetuate the falsehood that Lee Oswald acted alone is at least regrettable, at worst complicit in the cover-up which persists to this day. What the proponents of the single bullet theory at the time of the Warren Commission didn't count on was how many people would become private researchers who collectively looked deeper into this topic than either the FBI or the Warren Commission. Honorable men and women like Dorothy Kilgallen, Mark Lane. Gary Mack, Josiah Thompson, Jim Marrs, Sylvia Meagher, David Lifton, Fletcher Prouty and many others. Warren Commission apologists like Arlen Spector, Gerald Ford, Gerald Posner and Vincent Bugliosi also didn't count on the Zapruder Film being released, which clearly showed Kennedy's head and torso being thrust violently back and to the left - something all but anatomically impossible if the shots were only fired from the rear.

Okay maybe he is a good reporter but he didn't interviewed these people the railroad workers on the triple overpass please look this video here on RU-vid The railroad workers on the triple Overpass.

Imagine living your entire life in a delusional state, then being renowned as one of the worlds best journalist? Isn't that so indictive of today's world. The world's biggest liar misinformed man receives top journalist award. You go Smith Mundt modernization act.

So he's an expert on the assassination, but he's never seen the Zapruder film showing that the head shot came from the grassy knoll. How's that work?

He's still lying after all these years...

Aynesworth has great reporting instincts. One thing - the THIRD shot was from the front. On exit, this shot, unfortunately, blew out the Rt. REAR of KENNEDY's head...onto the Limo's trunk.

SixthFloorMuseum has lost credibility.

This is the worse one I've heard yet!!!

Does anyone still believe Oswald did it?

Yeah, right. Three shots yeah? AND what are the chances that this guy had TWO unpaid utility bills so that he could make notes?! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT! Paid shil. Case Closed.

SixthFloorMuseum is a big lie.
