The 2025 files confirm manipulation, pressure, and missing photos from JFK’s official postmortem.
🚪 Introduction: A Controlled Operation
John F. Kennedy’s body arrived at Bethesda under military guard. But it wasn’t just there for a medical exam-it was now a piece of evidence, and every agency had a stake in the results.
The 2025 documents show how the autopsy process was shaped not by science, but by secrecy.
⚖️ The Missing Photos and Switched Images
The new release includes a Naval memo from 1964 noting that:
- Photographs taken during the autopsy were “removed from original file for duplication”
- A 1978 inventory showed several images had never been returned
- One technician flagged a photo as “inconsistent with body condition witnessed on night of Nov. 22”
In short: some photos didn’t match what witnesses recalled.
📁 The Pressure on the Pathologists
Autopsy doctors James Humes and J. Thornton Boswell reported verbal orders to:
- Limit discussion of wounds
- Avoid referencing frontal entry points
- Complete the exam without full access to medical history or the original trauma scene
A 2025 memo from a Navy legal officer reads:
“Advised team to refrain from speculation. Keep findings consistent with current investigatory narrative.”
🧠 The Brain That Disappeared
One of the most controversial details now confirmed:
- JFK’s brain was removed and stored after the autopsy
- In 1966, it was requested for further study
- It was gone-missing from the National Archives
A newly unsealed inventory report dated 1974 lists:
“Specimen: not located. No record of destruction. Location unknown.”
The brain, which could’ve clarified entry and exit wounds, was never seen again.
🔥 Conflicting Diagrams and Bullet Paths
The 2025 files reveal multiple versions of:
- Skull diagrams
- Bullet trajectory sketches
- Autopsy summaries
Different agencies had different versions of the same autopsy, and no clear record exists to reconcile them.
One FBI communication notes:
“Avoid duplication of inconsistent materials in public releases.”
That’s not transparency. That’s curation.
🔚 Not a Medical Report-A Managed Event
Bethesda wasn’t just a hospital that night.
It was a stage, and the autopsy was part of a production-designed to align with what the government wanted to be true.
The 2025 files confirm the worst suspicions of researchers for decades:
This wasn’t just a flawed autopsy.
It was a controlled narrative, dressed up as medicine.
