The Knudsen Mystery in the Military’s Fraudulent JFK Autopsy
After I saw Oliver Stone’s movie JFK, which posited that the JFK assassination was a highly sophisticated regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, I read a multitude of books along those lines. Over time, I became convinced that Stone’s thesis was correct. But my conviction was never “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which is the standard of proof required for conviction in a criminal case.
Then I encountered Douglas Horne’s 5-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. Horne’s book convinced me beyond a reasonable doubt that the U.S. national-security establishment — specifically, the Pentagon and the CIA — orchestrated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Horne’s book established beyond a reasonable doubt the fraudulent nature of the autopsy that the military carried out on Kennedy’s body on the evening of the assassination at the Bethesda National Navel Medical Center morgue. Why is that important? Because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. Once one concludes that the military did, in fact, conduct a fraudulent autopsy on JFK’s body, it is “case closed” on criminal culpability on the part of the national-security establishment.
Therefore, one does not need to read dozens of books on the Kennedy assassination to arrive at a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. All that one needs to do is focus on the military’s autopsy. A finding of autopsy fraud on the part of the military equals a finding of guilt in the assassination itself.
I summarized Horne’s five-volume book in my book The Kennedy Autopsy. I highly recommend reading it prior to reading Horne’s book.
An ongoing mystery surrounding the Kennedy autopsy involves a man named Robert Knudsen. To this day, the national-security establishment remains mum regarding the Knudsen mystery. Of course, an unresolved mystery is not enough to convict, but it is enough to raise eyebrows, especially when added to the convincing evidence of autopsy fraud.
Knudsen was the social photographer for the Kennedy White House, He was a person whose credentials, integrity, and reputation were beyond reproach. As a testament to Knudsen’s qualifications and character, he served as a social photographer for six presidents — Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford.
When Knudsen died in 1989, his obituaries in the New York Times and Washington Post pointed out that he had been the official photographer for the Kennedy autopsy. In an interview that Knudsen gave in 1977 to a national photography magazine, he stated that he had photographed the JFK autopsy, pointing out that it was the “hardest assignment of my life.”
His family told the Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990s that Knudsen had been summoned by officials on the day of the assassination and was gone the rest of the weekend. When he returned, he told his family that he had photographed the autopsy but that he could not reveal details because he had been sworn
