The Umbrella Man
“In all of Dallas, there appears to be exactly one person standing under an open black umbrella. And that person is standing where the shots begin to rain into the limousine,” Josiah “Tink” Thompson, author of “Six Seconds in Dallas,” says in a 2011 documentary short by filmmaker Errol Morris. Why would someone open an umbrella on a sunny day? This is a question many conspirators ask when it comes to the tragic death on John F Kennedy. Louie Steven Witt carried a back umbrella with him to watch Kennedy’s last ride on November 22,1963 and was also one the closest bystanders to him. Louie Steven Witt raised his umbrella into the air as the President drove by this is claimed by conspirators that this could’ve been a signal or that he could’ve shot a poison dart from the umbrella impelling Kennedy.
When he was interviewed he revealed that he wanted to heckle the Kennedy’s because his father Joseph Kennedy had been a supporter of the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. He claimed that waving black umbrella back and forth it was a protest for the Kennedy’s appeasing Hitler before WWII.
Some Background of Umbrella protests is that throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Americans employed umbrellas to criticize leaders supposedly appeasing the enemies of the United States. Some politicians even refused to use them for that reason. Vice President Richard Nixon banned his own aides from carrying umbrellas when picking him up at the airport for fear of being photographed and charged as an appeaser.
Was it a coincidence that this man opened his umbrella right before the fatal shots were taken or was it a signal for the shooter or shooters present. The question of who killed Kennedy will forever be a mystery and will always be the unanswered with constant conspiracies revolving around Kennedy.
