The 1973 film
Executive
Action depicted a conspiracy to assassinate JFK. It was
based on a book by Mark Lane, who in 1966 was the first JFK investigator
to debunk the Warren Commission in his book “Rush to Judgment”.
Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan played CIA operatives involved in
the plot. They were resisted in their efforts to have the film made
by mainstream Hollywood producers. The movie reveals how Kennedy’s
progressive agenda and peace initiatives were a threat to the establishment.
He refused to invade Cuba, was seeking detente with the Soviet Union,
planned to pull all troops out of Viet Nam by 1965, break up the
CIA, eliminate the Federal Reserve and promoted the civil rights
movement. Congress passed the Test Ban Treaty a few months before
the assassination. In other words, he was doing his job.

At the end
of the film, it was revealed that an actuary
engaged by the London Sunday Times calculated the odds of 18
material witnesses dying within three years of the JFK assassination.
as 1 in 100,000 TRILLION. Assuming the data and calculation
methodology were essentially correct, then it was clear proof of
a conspiracy and refuted the Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald
was the lone assassin.

There has been
much controversy about the actuary’s calculation. Apparently,
no one at the Sunday Times even remembers the actuary’s name.
And even more strange, the Times editor did not provide the 1977
House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) the actuary’s
calculation assumptions or methodology. The editor claimed that
the problem was not clearly defined and therefore the calculation
of the odds was suspect. This analysis indicates that the calculation
was essentially correct – and that the editor’s response
to HSCA was misleading and incomplete.

In
fact, there were more
than 18 suspicious deaths in the three years following the
assassination. The actuary did not include Oswald and Ruby
– and at least 20 others. The
JFK witness spreadsheet database shows there were at least
forty (40) suspicious deaths in the three years; at least 33 were
unnatural (homicide, accident, suicide, unknown). The probability
of 33 unnatural deaths is lower than 1 in 100 TRILLION TRILLION!

The
probability of at least 70 unnatural deaths in the 14 years following
the assassination is 1 in 700 MILLION TRILLION TRILLION (1.4E-33).
. But there were at least 100 unnatural and suspicious
deaths, so the probability is even lower. Since the probability
of at least 70 deaths is infinitesimal, why bother to look any further?
There are 104 dead witnesses in the spreadsheet database (this is
conservative; researchers have estimated at least 300).

Of the 104
in the database, 71 deaths were unnatural: 7 were ruled suicides
(0.58%); 40 homicides (0%); 24 accidental (0%). The other 33 deaths
consisted of 4 from unknown causes (0.02%) and 29 suspiciously timed
heart attacks, sudden cancers, etc.(0%). The probability of each
cause of death is shown in percent.

Perhaps the
problem is better illustrated if we ask: How many unnatural deaths
are required in the 14 year period (assuming 1400 material witnesses)
to obtain a probability of less than 1% (ONE in ONE HUNDRED)? This
would meet the definition of beyond a reasonable doubt.
The answer is 18. How many would return a probability of ONE in
ONE THOUSAND? The answer is 22. As the number of deaths increase,
the probability rapidly approaches ZERO.

HSCA
statistical expert Jacqueline
Hess testified that the actuarial calculation was “invalid”
due to the “impossibility” of defining the “universe”
of material witnesses. Her dismissal of the odds was a ruse (like
the Magic
Bullet Theory) to maintain the cover-up. The fact is that
there was a definable set of 552 Warren Commission witnesses, of
whom at least 19 died unnaturally in the period from 1964-1977.
Only four would normally be expected. The 552 is a subset of
the approximately 1400 JFK-related witnesses named in the reference
Who’s
Who in the JFK Assassination.

But in addition
to the 19, two others should be noted. Domingo Benavides was a witness
to the Tippit murder who could not identify Oswald. But after his
brother was killed by a gunshot, he identified Oswald. Warren Reynolds
was also at the Tippit scene. He changed his testimony after making
a miraculous recovery from a gunshot to the head.

There were
different categories of witnesses: 1) The 121 eyewitnesses who gave
depositions to the FBI (51 said the shots came from the front, 38
from the rear, 32 were unsure); 2) the 552 interviewed by the 1964
Warren Commission; 3) witnesses sought by Jim Garrison 3) witnesses
sought by the HSCA; and 4) the full set of 1400+ JFK-related witnesses.

The
timing of the deaths makes it all the more suspicious. At least
fifteen died the year after the assassination; several died in 1967,
soon after being named as witnesses in the 1969 Garrison/Shaw trial;
at least 12 died in 1977 (including SEVEN FBI officials) just before
they were due to testify at HSCA. Using this information, we can
calculate probabilities of these unnatural, suspicious deaths for
each witness category.


Hit List: An In-Depth Investigation Into the Mysterious Deaths of
Witnesses to the JFK Assassination is a comprehensive
study by Richard Belzer and David Wayne (published April 2013).

The following
graph of unlikely deaths among the 552 Warren Commission witnesses
over the 14 year period from 1964-1977 shows that the probability
of at least 19 deaths is essentially zero.

But even the
“natural” deaths were suspicious: heart attacks, sudden
cancers, etc. Jack
Ruby died just before his second trial, 29 days after being
diagnosed with cancer. He claimed that he was injected with a virus.
Another mysterious death was that of David
Ferrie, who supposedly had a brain aneurysm that was ruled a
suicide the day after his release from protective custody, shortly
after New Orleans D.A. Garrison named him as a witness in the Clay
Shaw trial.

In spite of
their efforts to the contrary, the HSCA was forced to conclude that
both the JFK and Martin Luther King murders were conspiracies. Acoustic
evidence indicated a 96% probability that at least four shots were
fired. At least one came from the grassy knoll, indicating at least
two shooters. That should have closed the book on the Warren Commission’s
physically impossible, irrational Magic Bullet Theory but this 50-year
old work of fiction is still presented as gospel by the mainstream
media while the overwhelming scientific ballistic, acoustic, video,
medical, eyewitness and mathematical evidence of suspicious deaths
is ignored.

The mathematical
analysis of the scores of suspicious, unnatural deaths related to
the assassination is further proof of a conspiracy – beyond
any doubt.
This is a comprehensive spreadsheet database of suspicious unnatural
witness deaths, probability calculations, Warren Commission, Garrison/Shaw
trial and HSCA witnesses.

The
London Times

In a response
to a letter from the 1977 House Select Committee on Assassinations,
London Sunday Times Legal Manager Anthony Whitaker wrote: Our
piece about the odds against the deaths of the Kennedy witnesses
was, I regret to say, based on a careless journalistic mistake and
should not have been published. This was realized by The Sunday
Times editorial staff after the first edition – the one which
goes to the United States – had gone out, and later editions
were amended. There was no question of our actuary having got his
answer wrong: it was simply that we asked him the wrong question.
He was asked what were the odds against 15 named people out of the
population of the United States dying within a short period of time
to which he replied -correctly – that they were very high.
However, if one asks what are the odds against 15 of those included
in the Warren Commission Index dying within a given period, the
answer is, of course, that they are much lower. Our mistake was
to treat the reply to the former question as if it dealt with the
latter – hence the fundamental error in our first edition
report, for which we apologize. None of the editorial staff involved
in the story can remember the name of the actuary we consulted,
but in view of what happened, you will, I imagine, agree that his
identity is hardly material.

The actuary’s
identity was hardly material? It was and still is very material.
Only the actuary could speak to his interpretation of the problem
and method of calculation. And no one on the editorial staff remembered
his name? Really? We are supposed to believe that? Both statements
made no sense; nothing else the Times editor said should have been
taken at face value. In fact, Whitaker misrepresented what is essentially
a simple mathematical problem: to determine the probability of a
given number of unnatural deaths over relevant
time intervals within a given population group.

His
first error was to provide an incomplete and misleading statement
of the problem. The U.S. population is not relevant; the
number of JFK-related witnesses is. The “short period of time”
is not specific. He misrepresented the essential goal of the probability
analysis by not considering the frequency of unnatural deaths.

His
second error was one of omission. He did not provide unnatural
death mortality statistics and probability calculations used by
the actuary. Was it because they would show that the calculation
was plausible?

Whitaker claimed
that he asked the actuary to calculate the probability that 15 names
included in the Warren Commission Index would die within a “short”
period. One must assume that the actuary assumed unnatural deaths
and utilized corresponding unnatural mortality rate(s) in his calculation.
Just because the Times Editor did not specify unnatural deaths does
not mean that the actuary was oblivious to the distinction. Is it
just a coincidence that at least 15 Warren Commission witnesses
(listed below with links to their testimony) died unnaturally and/or
suspiciously. Or that others died mysteriously at convenient times
just before they were due to give testimony at the Garrison/Shaw
trial or at the HSCA?

It is important
to note that Whitaker did not specify unnatural deaths – as
he should have. In any case, his response settled the matter. The
HSCA’s designated “statistical expert” just added
to Whitaker’s obfuscation.

HSCA
Obfuscation

The HSCA designated
statistical expert Jacqueline
Hess dismissed the actuary’s odds as being invalid, claiming
that it was “unsolvable”. Hess testified that she consulted
with actuarial experts, who told her “you cannot establish
any kind of universe” of material witnesses. This was pure
disinformation; a universe of 1400+ JFK-related witnesses was presented
in the Who’s Who in the Kennedy Assassination reference.

In her list
of 21 names, Hess conveniently left out scores of mysterious, unnatural
deaths. Hess focused on five names in the list where the deaths
appeared to have been natural (heart attacks). But they were still
suspicious.

For example,
Thomas Howard was one of three people who met in Ruby’s apartment
on Nov. 24, 1963. All died within a little over a year (two unnaturally).
Hess never calculated the odds of that.

She did not
include David Ferrie and Eladio del Valle. Ferrie supposedly died
of an aneurysm within days of being called as a witness by Garrison.
Ferrie was held in protective custody until Feb. 21, 1967. He was
found dead in his apartment the next day. Ferrie associate Eladio
del Valle was also sought by Garrison. He was murdered on Feb. 21.
Hess never calculated those odds, either.

What
is even more unbelievable, Hess neglected the strange deaths of
nearly a dozen prospective HSCA witnesses. She gave a convoluted
excuse as to why she did not include George De Morenschildt, Oswald’s
friend who allegedly shot himself with a rifle the day he was notified
by HSCA. Nor did she mention the seven (7) high level FBI officials
who died within a six-month period in 1977 just before they were
due to testify at HSCA. She obviously never calculated the probability.
Apparently, HSCA-related deaths were immaterial; she limited her
analysis to 1964-1967.

In this analysis, all of the probabilities are easily calculated.

Hess claimed
the actuary concluded that on 11/22/63 the odds of 15 witnesses
being dead was 1 in 10 to the 29th power which is 1 in 10,000 TRILLION
TRILLION. That is obviously an incorrect statement. The actuary
calculated the odds as 1 in 100,000 trillion (1 in 10 to the 17th
power). He presumably used the Poisson probability function of rare
events – the perfect mathematical tool for the problem (see
below). One in 100,000 trillion is E-17, or 0.0000000000000001.
Hess appears to have been anything but a “statistical expert”.
If she was one, she would have done the calculations herself.

So how did
the actuary calculate the probability? How many witnesses did he
assume? If he assumed 560 witnesses, consisting of the
552 who testified at the Warren Commission (10 died unnaturally)
and 8 other JFK-related witnesses who died unnaturally, then applying
the 0.000542 unnatural mortality rate, the probability of exactly
18 unnatural deaths in three years is 1.16E-17 or 1 in 85 thousand
trillion. This is very close to the actuary’s 1 in 100,000
trillion odds! Only ONE unnatural death out of the 560 would normally
be expected in the three year period.

Bugliosi’s
Calculation

Famed prosecutor
Vincent Bugliosi tried to refute the actuary in his book Reclaiming
History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He
cited Robert M. Musen, vice president and senior actuary at Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company. Musen calculated the odds of 15 people out
of 2,479 in the Warren
Commission Index dying within a three-year period, assuming
a median age of 40, to be 98.16 percent or one out of 1.2.

But there are
two major problems with Musen’s calculation.
1- There are only approximately 600 names listed in the index, including
George Washington and several other presidents. Only 552 were witnesses
who testified.

2- Musen did
not consider that the deaths were unnatural. Even assuming
2479 names, approximately 4 unnatural and 70 natural deaths from
the list would be expected over a three year period. Musen must
have applied an approximate .01 overall mortality rate, not the
.000542 unnatural rate.The odds that at least 15 of 2479 would die
unnaturally within 3 years is 1 in 46,000. The odds of 18 dying
unnaturally is 1 in 3.6 million.

The
Correct Method: Expected and Actual Unnatural Deaths

There were
1400 JFK-related witnesses listed in the Who’s
Who in the JFK Assassination by Michael Benson. At least
15 died from unnatural causes in the first year, defying
the odds. There had to be a plausible explanation; the
15 unnatural deaths could not have been just a 1 in 167 TRILLION
coincidence. Only one unnatural death would normally be expected.
There must have been a rationale and motivation for the deaths.
What could it have been?

The expected
number N of unnatural deaths in time period T is approximated
by a simple formula: N = R * W * T, where R is the unnatural
mortality rate, W the number of witnesses and T the number of years
in the study. For one year, N = 0.76 deaths = .000542*1400*1

This
is a
Probability Analysis of Witness Deaths. At least 33 of 1400
JFK assassination-related witnesses died unnaturally in the three
years following the assassination. Only two or three would normally
be expected. The probability of this occurrence is 1 in 137
TRILLION TRILLION.

The
Poisson Probability Distribution

This mathematical
function is useful for calculating the probability that a certain
number of rare events will occur over a specified period of time.
For instance, the probability that 10 customers will walk into a
store from 10-11 am, given an average arrival rate of 5 per hour
for that time period. Or that 2 accidents will occur at a busy intersection
next month, given an average of 1 per month.

In this analysis,
the Poisson function is used to calculate the probability that at
least n people in a random group of N individuals will die unnaturally
(suicide, murder, accident, unknown cause, etc.) in T years.
Historical mortality statistical tables show that the unnatural
death rate R is approximately 0.000542 (1 in 1845).

The probability
of an unnatural death in one year from…
suicide….. 0.000107
homicide…. 0.000062
accidental.. 0.000359
unknown….. 0.000014
Total……. 0.000542

The Poisson
probability function is:
P(n) = a^n * exp(-a)/n!
where a = the expected number of unnatural deaths = R*N*T

For example,
in a random group of 1400 individuals, in any given year
less than ONE unnatural death (0.7588) is expected to occur:
a = 0.7588 = R*N*T = 0.000542*1400*1

Using the expected
number (a=.7588) of unnatural deaths and the actual number (n= 15)
in the Poisson formula, the probability that there would be exactly
15 unnatural deaths turns out to be
P (15) = 0.7588^15 * exp(-0.7588)/15!
P (15) = 5.70E-15 = 1 in 175 trillion

The probability
of at least 15 unnatural deaths is of course slightly higher:
P (=15) = 1 in 167 trillion!

Key
witness categories
1 Unnatural deaths vs. suspicious natural deaths
2 Witnesses: Warren Commission (552), Shaw trial (60), HSCA (100)
3 Witnesses who died just before being called to testify (15+)
4 Approximate number of JFK-related witnesses (1400+)
5 Eyewitness depositions to the Warren Commission (121)

– The unnatural
death rate is used in the probability analysis.
– ZERO probability of unnatural deaths in categories 2,3 and 4.
– 51 Warren Commission eyewitnesses claimed that the shots came
from the Grassy Knoll, 38 from the Texas Schoolbook Depository and
32 had no opinion. Their recollections were dismissed by the Warren
Commission as simply being “mistaken”. Parkland Hospital doctors
initially reported entrance wounds to the neck and head which were
confirmed years later in the Zapruder film.

Ruby’s
Visitors

Ruby shot Oswald
on Nov. 24, 1963. But how many know that three people who met in
Ruby’s apartment that day died within one year, two unnaturally
and one naturally. The probability is
P = 1/(.000542^2*.01)= 1 in 340 million!

– Bill Hunter,
a reporter, was shot to death by a policeman in April 1964. It was
ruled an accident.
– Tim Koethe, another reporter, was killed in Sept. 1964 by a blow
to the neck.
– Tom Howard, Ruby’s first lawyer, died from a heart attack
in March 1965.

Mysterious
FBI Witness Deaths

In 1977, seven
top FBI officials died in a six month period just before they were
scheduled to testify at the House Select Committee on Assassinations(
HSCA). Two were accidents. If we assume only 7 FBI were called to
testify and all died from natural causes within a six month period,
the probability is 1 in 81 TRILLION. But the odds must be lower
than that since at least two of the deaths were unnatural “accidents”.

Now we will
conservatively assume that the HSCA sought testimony from 20 FBI
officials. The probability that 7 would die from natural
causes in a 6 month period is 1 in 55 BILLION. But since
two deaths were unnatural, the probability is much lower.

. William Sullivan-
Head of counter/espionage. Predicted his death. Hunting accident.
. James Cadigan- Document expert; previously testified to Warren
Commission. Accidental fall in his home.
. Regis Kennedy- Heart attack on the day he was to testify on confiscation
of home movies of assassination.
. Louis Nichols- Former #3, worked on JFK investigation. Heart attack
. Alan Belmont- Liaison to Warren Commission; Long illness.
. Donald Kaylor Fingerprint expert. Heart attack.
. J.M. English- Head of Forensic Sciences Lab. Heart attack.

Suspicious
Timing of Other Witness Deaths

In 1967, David
Ferrie was found dead (ruled a suicide from a brain aneurysm) in
his apartment shortly after he was named as a defendant by New Orleans
D.A. Jim Garrison in the upcoming trial of Clay Shaw. Ferrie was
an associate of Oswald, Shaw, Guy Banister and anti-Castro Cubans.
Ferrie left two suicide notes. He was held in protective custody
until Feb. 21, 1967 and was found dead in his apartment the next
day. Ferrie associate Eladio del Valle was also sought by Garrison.
He was murdered on Feb. 21 by gunshot and an axe. The odds of both
deaths: 1 in 453 billion: P= 1/(0.000542/365)^2. Banister, an ex-FBI
agent, died in 1964 from a suspicious heart attack.

Shaw was a
New Orleans businessman accused of involvement in the JFK assassination.
He denied he was CIA and acquitted. He died a few years later from
cancer. There was no autopsy. CIA Director Richard Helms later admitted
under oath that Shaw was a CIA contractor.

Maurice Gatlin,
also sought by Garrison, was a pilot who worked for Guy Banister,
an ex-FBI agent in New Orleans connected to Ferrie, CIA, Carlos
Marcello and Oswald. Gatlin died in a fall from the 6th floor after
suffering a “heart attack”. The death was ruled an accident.

The following
individuals were sought by the HSCA. All died unnaturally. Once
again, the probability is ZERO…
– Charles Nicoletti, mob hit man and possible JFK shooter, was found
dead from gunshots the day before he was scheduled to be contacted.
– John Paisley, Deputy Director of the CIA, was “about to
blow the whistle” (shotgun ruled suicide).
– George DeMohrenschildt, a friend of Oswald with CIA contacts,
had previously testified at the Warren Commission. He was found
dead the day before he was scheduled to be contacted (shotgun ruled
a suicide).
– Johnny Roselli, a powerful Mafia figure, was found in a drum off
the coast of Miami. He told investigative reporter Jack Anderson
that Ruby was ordered to silence Oswald and testified before the
Senate.

Data
Sources
The reference Who’s
Who in the JFK Assassination by Michael Benson, presents
vital information on each of more than 1,400 individuals (from suspects
to witnesses to investigators) related in any way to the murder
of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Based on years
of research, it uses a wealth of data sources and a detailed analysis
of the Warren Commission’s twenty-six volumes. The volume
includes entries on virtually all suspects, victims, witnesses,
law enforcement officials and investigators involved in the assassination.

In Crossfire
assassination researcher Jim
Marrs lists 103 individuals related to the assassination who
died mysteriously from 1963-1978. Lee Harvey Oswald is not on the
list but should be.

Warren Commission
apologists who troll the online forums jump through illogical hoops
in their attempts to debunk the probability calculations. But their
arguments just prove the case for conspiracy. They agree that the
math is correct, but argue that the data is invalid. They claim
that the 1400+ witnesses and scores of unlikely deaths were self-selected
and not a random group. Of course it is not a random group –
by definition. That is precisely the point.

Witnesses who
were called to testify before the 1964 Warren Commission, the 1969
Clay Shaw trial and the 1977 HSCA investigation were obviously not
self-selected. Neither were the 1400 in the “Who’s Who”
reference; they were all related in some way to the JFK assassination
– suspects, victims, witnesses, law enforcement officials
and investigators. It is not just a coincidence that an impossible
number of them died unnaturally. There are only a few dozen that
were missed in the “Who’s Who”, but even some
of these died unnaturally. The only rational conclusion is that
many JFK-related witnesses had inside information that would expose
the crime and coverup. That’s why they died unnaturally in
numbers that defied the unnatural death mortality tables.

SUSPICIOUS
DEATHS AND TESTIMONY OF WARREN COMMISSION WITNESSES

Alphabetical
List of Witnesses and Testimony

http://jfkassassination.net/russ/wit.htm

1964-1966
Benavides, Eddy – His brother Domingo was a Warren Commission
witness who was in the vicinity of the Tippit crime scene. Domingo
was forced to change his testimony after his-look alike brother
was killed by gunshot – a very suspicious case of mistaken
identity.

Carlin, Karen
– a Ruby employee, was the last one to talk with him before
he shot Oswald. Killed by gunshot.

Bogard, Albert
– Dallas automobile salesman who said Oswald test drove a new car.
He was badly beaten after giving testimony. Supposedly died by committing
suicide with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Bowers, Lee
E. – Employee of the Union Terminal Co. Witnessed men behind
picket fence on Grassy Knoll. Died in a one-car collision.

Roberts, Earlene
– Oswald’s landlady testified he did not kill Tippet.
Heart attack.

Russell, Harold
– Witness in the vicinity of the Tippit crime scene. Saw escape
of Tippit killer with Warren Reynolds. Blow to the head head by
a cop in a bar. Heart failure.

Worrell, James
– Saw man flee from rear of Texas School Book Depository.
Motor accident.

Whaley, William
Cab driver who reportedly drove Oswald to Oak Cliff (only Dallas
taxi driver to die on duty). Accident: motor collision

Martin, Frank
Dallas policeman Captain who witnessed Oswald slaying; told WC:
“there is a lot to be said but its best that I don’t
say it”. Sudden Cancer.

Ruby, Jack
– Oswald’s slayer. Connected with Mob. Believed he was
poisoned in prison. Died from sudden cancer.
In this press
conference, Ruby claimed a government conspiracy to murder JFK.

“Everything
pertaining to what’s happening has never come to the surface.
The world will never know the true facts, of what occurred, my motives.
The people had- that had so much to gain and had such an ulterior
motive for putting me in the position I’m in, will never let
the true facts come above board to the world.”
Reporter: “Are these people in very high positions Jack?”
Jack: “Yes.”

1972-1977
Hale Boggs was a congressman who served on the Warren Commission.
He expressed disagreement with the conclusion that Oswald was the
assassin. He died in a mysterious plane crash over Alaska.

J. Edgar Hoover,
FBI Director, died suddenly. There was no autopsy.
The FBI did not reveal warnings
from the field (Abraham Bolden) of a plot to assassinate JFK
and later withheld this information from the Warren Commission.

Roger Craig,
a Dallas Deputy sheriff, found a German Mauser rifle in the TSBD,
before the police claimed that Oswald used a Mannlicher-Carcano.
Died from gunshot.

These Warren
Commission witnesses died just before they were due to testify at
HSCA in 1977:
Alan Belmont – FBI liaison to Warren Commission. Long illness.

James Cadigan
– FBI document expert. Accidental fall in home.

George De Morenshildt
– CIA friend of Oswald, suicide by gunshot.
