Keven Hofeling comments:
"Alluded to in the [above linked] video is the famous presentation that Dr. Gary Aguilar delivered to the 1995 COPA conference exposing the fraudulent concealment of the JFK back of the head wound evidence by the HSCA, a cover up that this interview of Andrew Purdy makes clear he continues to be engaged in. It is worthwhile for the sake of context to see the film footage of Andy Purdy's 1995 mea culpa in response to Dr. Aguilar's presentation, as well as the Aguilar presentation on the back of the head wound testimony from Bethesda witnesses that Purdy himself accumulated in HSCA depositions and interviews. Notice that in the Aguilar presentation many of the present-day critiques Purdy attempts to make of the evidence of probes and missing autopsy photographs was actually addressed and debunked by Aguilar's presentation and Purdy shamelessly recycles those arguments.

I premise the video with Dr. Aguilar's description of the relevant events at the 1995 COPA conference from his comprehensive essay 'HOW FIVE INVESTIGATIONS INTO JFK’S MEDICAL/AUTOPSY EVIDENCE GOT IT WRONG,' by Gary L. Aguilar, MD and Kathy Cunningham, May 2003: https://www.history-matters.com/essays/jfkmed/How5Investigations/How5InvestigationsGotItWrong_5.htm

REGARDING THE HSCA MEDICAL COVER-UP BY DR. GARY AGUILAR

"...Once-secret documents, made public in the 1990s, show that the HSCA misrepresented both what the autopsy witnesses told the Warren Commission as well as what they had told the HSCA.

Rather than contradicting Parkland witnesses that there was a rear defect in JFK's skull, the suppressed interviews reveal that the Bethesda witnesses corroborated them.

They not only described a rear defect to HSCA in writing and verbally, they also drew diagrams of a defect in the rear of Kennedy’s skull, which the HSCA had also suppressed.⁠

By falsely representing the data, including its own interviews, HSCA writers inaccurately portrayed autopsy witnesses as refuting the Dallas witnesses who in fact they had corroborated. (See Table 2) Had it not been for the Oliver Stone-inspired JFK Review Board, public access to these inconvenient interviews and diagrams, which had no national security value whatsoever, was to have been restricted for 50 years, until 2028.⁠

This stunning suppression of contradictory evidence, which as we shall see included withholding it from the very medical experts responsible for conducting the HSCA’s analyses of autopsy and other medical evidence, is by itself sufficient reason to call into question the HSCA’s entire medical position. But misstating and suppressing the nonsensitive assertions of its own witnesses was not all the HSCA did to impeach witness accounts of a gaping rearward wound in JFK’ skull....⁠

In 1995, HSCA counsel Purdy spoke at a public conference hosted by the Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA) in Washington D.C. During his presentation, he explained that he had searched in vain for signs of conspiracy in JFK’s autopsy evidence. When these suppressed statements and diagrams depicting JFK’s rearward skull damage were projected in slide form before the entire audience, Purdy backed down.

After all, his signature was plainly visible at the bottom of most of the documents.⁠

In retreat, he conceded he was “unhappy” the HSCA had reported, “All of those interviewed who attended the autopsy corroborated the general location of the wounds as depicted in the photographs; none had differing accounts... .”

Purdy was quick to add, however, that he hadn’t written the statement, and that he didn’t know who had. ⁠ The report in which these HSCA misstatements appears is prefaced with the following statement: “Materials submitted for this report by the committee’s forensic pathology panel were compiled by HSCA staff members Donald A. Purdy, Jr. and T. Mark Flanagan.”[288]⁠

Perhaps Mr. Purdy’s denial is factual because neither Purdy nor Flanagan actually furnished the writer of the false passage with the damning interviews. If that is the case, however, the writer’s comment – “All of those interviewed who attended the autopsy corroborated …” – makes little sense.⁠

More enlightening about this episode, however, were the comments of HSCA forensic consultants, Michael Baden, MD and Cyril Wecht, MD, JD, who were also present with Purdy on the podium. Despite their positions as the HSCA’s medical consultants, neither Baden nor Wecht had ever seen this important autopsy evidence. Purdy hadn’t let his own autopsy experts know about any of these autopsy witnesses. ⁠That assumes, of course, that it was the lowly counsel Purdy who made the decision to keep key consultants in the dark, a decision so beyond his authority it seems unlikely he would have made it alone. In testimony before the ARRB, Purdy stated he in fact did not make that decision. Robert Blakey had.[289]⁠

So on the mystery of who authored the falsehoods about the autopsy witnesses, one must therefore not discount the possibility that chief counsel, Robert Blakey, might have played a role. Although Blakey specifically denied to author Aguilar writing this unfactual section of the report (as did perhaps the one other possible choice, Richard Billings), it is not impossible to imagine that Blakey might himself have written this section to help keep the lid securely fastened over the revelations of the autopsy witnesses he had apparently already hidden from his medical consultants...."

Also interesting about the JFK: Enduring Secrets video with regard to Andrew Purdy were the biographical details presented about Purdy's extensive post HSCA work for the U.S. Government in the area of "cyber security," particularly considering that Purdy is self-admittedly not any kind of computer or internet expert per se. I am forced to ponder what role Purdy might have played in Professor Cass Sunstein's "Cognitive Infiltration of Conspiracy Social Media Groups" work as elucidated in the following video, and whether Purdy's present reappearance in the media might indicate some kind of effort to get ahead of the upcoming JFK records releases..."
