Grassy Knolledge: What the JFK X-Rays Reveal and Why Deep State STILL Ignores Indisputable Frontal Shot
Long before the advent of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Fakes, history was rewritten in broad daylight, and most Americans still don’t know it. The JFK assassination wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a masterclass in forensic manipulation and political theater, a case where the medical evidence was allegedly altered to hide the truth.
With so many unanswered questions about the Charlie Kirk assassination, disturbing parallels and similar dynamics are still at work, even today.
On the eve of the 62nd anniversary of JFK’s murder, new eyes on old X‑rays and historical records reveal the shocking medical facts. Kennedy was shot from the front, and the story we’ve been told was carefully constructed to serve Cold War strategy. Now, with modern political violence reigniting questions about public figures targeted in plain view, the lessons of that day are more urgent than ever.
Dr. David Mantik and Walter Herbst are available to provide expert insight into the JFK assassination, its forensic evidence, and the broader geopolitical context—and how those lessons resonate today in light of recent high-profile political violence.
Dr. Mantik, a forensic radiologist and physicist, personally reviewed JFK’s original autopsy X‑rays at the National Archives. Using optical density analysis and X‑ray overlays, he demonstrates that Kennedy was struck by a frontal projectile, directly challenging the official “rear shot” narrative. His meticulous work provides scientific evidence that reopens one of the most scrutinized events in American history.
Walter Herbst is a Cold War historian and intelligence expert who specializes in the covert operations and political decision-making of the 1960s. He can contextualize the JFK assassination within the high-stakes environment of the Cold War, explaining why U.S. authorities might have manipulated or suppressed forensic evidence to avoid escalation with the Soviet Union. Herbst connects historical precedent to modern challenges of truth, security, and public trust.
The parallels between the JFK and Charlie Kirk assassinations, the latter happening on September 10, 2025, are striking. Both occurred between 12:00 and 1:00 pm local time, both allegedly involved a lone gunman sniper, and both left significant unanswered questions about trajectory, security protocols, and narrative control. Mantik’s forensic expertise and Herbst’s historical perspective offer a rare opportunity to explore the enduring dynamics of political violence, media coverage, and public perception.
Producers seeking a compelling segment can draw on Mantik’s ability to provide concrete forensic evidence that revises a decades-old case, or Herbst’s ability to situate such events within broader historical, political, and strategic frameworks. Their combined expertise bridges science, history, and current events, offering audiences a deeper understanding of why questions about motive, method, and narrative persist—and why they matter in today’s politically charged climate.
Dr. Mantik and Walter Herbst are available for interviews and can provide visuals, X-ray documentation, and historical materials to support broadcast segments or digital features.
The truth is no longer hidden. It is simply waiting to be acknowledged.

ABOUT WALTER HERBST…
Author Walter Herbst brings four decades of intensive, comprehensive research to uncovering the truth behind the assassination of President John F.

ABOUT DR. DAVID MANTIK…
An M.D. and Ph.D., David Mantik spent many years in private practice in Rancho Mirage/Palm Desert, California. More recently, he became a peripatetic radiation oncologist. He is currently licensed in eight states and has also worked in Hawaii and New Zealand.
In his spare time, Mantik writes about the JFK assassination and has made some amazing discoveries. He spent nine full days at the National Archives to view (and perform measurements on) the JFK autopsy X-rays, the autopsy photographs, JFK’s clothing and the ballistic artifacts. So, we now know that the Warren Commission was not very interested in the truth, but that indifference still seems to afflict Washington, DC. In 2024, Mantik co-authored the book, The Final Analysis with Dr. Jerome Corsi.
