Mr. Ed Tatro was an English teacher at Quincy High School (MA). In 1968, Mr Tatro taught a unit on the JFK assassination. An English teacher teaching history? Yes, public education was at the behest of local school boards. The City of Quincy advocated for teachers to use spontaneity and creativity, with varying levels of controversy. Critical thinking was actually encouraged. The era before teachers were burdened by standardized testing, before evaluations were tied to student standardized results, before the soul of education was legislated away. I digress.

I became a critic of the Warren Commission, soon to be labeled just another conspiracy kook. My journey began five years after the JFK assassination as a 15-year-old. Fifty-seven years later, I continue on that path. Charlie Kirk’s murder was preceded by events such as JFK, MLK, RFK, Ruby Ridge, Waco, the OKC bombing, 9/11, Russia-gate, the January 6th ‘coup, and Epstein files, to name a few. 

Mr Tatro enlightened us on the inconsistencies in the Warren Report, evidence ignored, misplaced, or doctored, witnesses mysteriously disappearing or dying, altered photographs, and the folly of a magic bullet, combined, to make it very difficult to take seriously the Sunday night popular FBI television show (1965-1974) starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr.  This Hollywood production depicted a professional, honest, and competent agency solving crime in a most moralistic manner. The reality of the FBI investigation of the JFK assassination versus the Hollywood version was a block I never got past.

Athletic coaches understand that scouting the opposition reveals tendencies and observable reactions to situations. FBI investigations of the events listed above have predictable tendencies, including: find a lone wolf patsy, fabricate a political motive, create a somewhat viable narrative, highlight “evidence” to support the official narrative, hide or discredit evidence that contradicts the narrative, ignore obvious distractions, when questioned, repeat the narrative, and ensure the mockingbird press to repeat their narrative. 

Today, the public demands a sophisticated game plan. It starts with an honest, diligent, and transparent investigation. It must be humbling for a well-resourced government agency to be outperformed by independent internet journalists. It’s humiliating that the FBI expects a technically savvy public to accept its narrative. The FBI is as relevant as the US Postal Service; both are relics of the past.

Today, at public events, cell phone cameras are in every hand. Video from these cell phones captured reality. The days of confiscating and editing the lone film (Abraham Zapruder’s) are long gone. The real-time videos prove exactly what the original Zapruder film captured. The kill shot did not come from the area the FBI would like you to believe. Amazingly enough, both the JFK and Charlie Kirk kill shots came from the victim’s right. 

Solving the actual crime is the most relevant task. Who, where, and with what must be answered. Mr Kirk’s neck was not of steel and most certainly not capable of stopping a .30-06 bullet. Gaslighting entrance wounds and exit wounds only serve the mockingbird media and drive-by news consumers. In 1963, the FBI pointed to a magic bullet. Today, are they pointing to Charlie Kirk’s magic neck? Gaslighting was shameful in 1963 as it is in 2025.

Upon solving the assassination, the next task is answering the question “Cui bono?” (who benefits) That answer may lead to the real killers because it sure as hell is not the 22-year-old boy who allegedly writes: vehicle lingering, outfit, drop point, and my love. At 73 years of age, I would not use that verbiage.  It’s outdated, just like the FBI.
