Details of the Private Autopsy 12:29 AM PHST, Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 The Heritage Memorial Park, Taguig City, Philippines. ****Spoiler: Following is graphic, viewer discretion advised
Private medical examiners from Taguig City were assisted by White House Physician to the President US Navy Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson & several others from Makati Medical Center, participated in the private autopsy of the late President Obama. The autopsy was started at 10:50 PM PHST & ended at 4:56 AM PHST.
Among the findings: (1) They attempted to probe the bullet hole in the base of President Obama's left side of his chest below the left scapula, but failed as it passed through the middle of his chest, forcing Manzano to take carefully take out the heart, lungs, etc., in order to get the remaining bullet fragments out. Emergency room physicians from Makati had obscured it while performing the first part of the private autopsy.
(2) The private autopsy report of the 46th President, (later Roberts Commission Exhibit CE 387) described the back wound as being oval shaped, 6 b 4 millimeters (0.24 in x 0.16 in), & located in the lower left side of the shoulder blade in the back.
(3) The concluding page of the private autopsy report stated the other missiles (the other bullets through the back to the chest) entered the upper left side of the back & traversed the soft tissues & damaged the left lung.
(4) It also concluded that the bullets produced damage to the spinal cord, which was severely damaged & shattered upon impact.
(5) The gunshot wound to the back of the President's head was described by the private autopsy as a laceration measuring 15 by 6 millimeters (0.59 in x 0.24 in), situated to the right & slightly above the external occipital protuberance. In the underlying bone is a corresponding wound through the skull showing beveling (a cone-shaped widening) of the margins of the bone as viewed from the inside of the skull.
(6) The large & irregularly-shaped wound in the right side of the head (chiefly to the parietal bone, but also involving the temporal & occipital bone) is described as being about 13 centimeters (5.1 in) wide at the largest diameter.
Did you use the Kennedy autopsy are a example for this. |

Eyewitness Accounts: Loisa Manzano 8:47 AM PHST, Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 Makati City, Philippines (Spoiler: Some of Loisa's accounts are erotic & graphic! Viewer discretion advised) ******Loisa's Eyewitness Account will be divided into different sections.
(Part I): On the early morning HRS of Monday, April 28th, 2014, I was asleep inside the penthouse in the company of my significant other, US Marine Corps Captain Reese Boudreaux (who's African American), who was stationed at the US Embassy in Manila. You see, we had just finished having sexual intercourse during the weekend. It was amazing since we had been together for over a decade. Soon afterwards, Reese helped make breakfast & we ate a delicious breakfast mixed with American & Filipino delicacies.... It was 7:00 AM PHST & I had assumed since I was busy at the hospital during the long shifts including weekends, I had finally gotten the entire week off, so Reese (who had been working with the US Embassy in Manila during a long shift the previous couple of weeks, making preparation for the State Visit of US President Barack Obama) had arrived home on Saturday, April 26th & well... you know.. we had fun....
Anyway, back to the early morning HRS of Monday, April 28th. I was asleep on the bed, while Reese told me he had to get to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in getting things ready as Air Force One was prepared to land later that afternoon. So it was 11:30 AM PHST & I turned on ABS-CBN News to watch coverage on Obama's arrival in Manila: it was a historic moment to see another American President visiting my beloved country for the first time since 2003 when then-US President George W. Bush visited the Philippines, who later addressed a Joint Session of the Congress of the Philippines at the Batasang Pambansa Complex. I think I was watching one of the early morning coverage shows called "Headstart" or "Market Edge with Cathy Yang", I was sitting on the couch reading the autobiography of Ninoy Aquino, because I loved to read books thoroughly & my cell phone rang, it was my cousin, Beatrice Cojuangco, who wanted to know more about the State Visit of President Obama, I asked her if she was at Malacanang Palace. She responded, she was at Malacanang with her daughter, Kathie. Kathie proudly boasted about hoping to get selfies with Obama & Philippine President Benigno SC Aquino, III following the Welcoming Honors Ceremony.
The coverage was going to be all day, so I decided to take a short nap & fell asleep for awhile. It was 2:12 PM PHST & woke back up to watch both Obama & Aquino, III exiting Bonifacio Hall, walking with their respective military attaches over to the platform for the Welcoming Honors Ceremony to begin. The 21 Cannon Salute was fired; then the respective National Anthems of the United States ("Star Spangled Banner") & the Philippines ("Lupang Hiriang") were performed by the PSG Marching Band. Then, it was time for the Honor Guard Inspection.... everything was going well & fine until I heard a loud fire cracking sound. At first, I thought one of the cannons were accidentally fired. Then, I noticed another cracking sound, before my very eyes, I watched President Obama clutching his chest, then falling on his knees after getting hit again; I watched in stunned, silent horror as President Aquino, III was struck as well, he fell forward to the red carpet face first. Before I realized what was happening, before my eyes, I watched in complete horror as President Obama got hit again, this time, more vicious as the right backside of his head exploded causing him to fall backward. Suddenly, machine gun fire ensued: several US Secret Service agents, Philippine PSG agents, a few members of the PSG Marching Band including several spectators in the crowd were hit by gunfire. It was a horrible sight to see...
Fast forward to 11 minutes later, the cell phone buzzed loudly.... it was one of my superiors at Makati Medical Center, Dr. Hannah Bailey, she had been blowing up my cell phone with the words "Manzano. There's a situation at Makati Medical. Your presence & assistance is needed right now. Can you be here ?" I replied "I will be there Dr. Bailey." Bailey replied, "Good. See you there!"
Soon afterwards, I was only wearing a robe, dropped it on the floor ran completely naked to the shower & took a long hot shower, which lasted about 29 minutes; then got dressed, closed the door of my penthouse, locked it; walked over to my vehicle & drove towards Makati Medical Center.

Given your got other earlier changes from OTL including Jerry Brown becoming President does this mean you have an overall TL which includes a number of your other TLs your been writing, rather than them all being separate, stand alone ones?
Given that Manzano has seen the assassination attack on the two Presidents and been told she's needed right away I'm a bit surprised she's spending so long in the shower? Whether it 30 minutes or 90 - could be either depending on how I read what your saying. I would have thought a very quick freshener and then get straight to the hospital would have been more likely?

Eyewitness Accounts: Loisa Manzano [Continued] 8:47 AM PHST, Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 Makati City, Philippines.
(Part II): I arrived at Makati Medical Center at 3:20 PM PHST & signed in my time-sheet with the receptionist, then I ran over to Dr. Bailey, who informed me that an emergency "situation" was arriving at the hospital very soon & that I needed to get ready for the operation. She didn't tell me who was going to be operated on, but did tell me "Manzano. You need to get ready because they're going to be arriving in about 12-16 minutes, but could be sooner depending on the traffic from Malacanang." So I went over to the hospital restroom for nurses, doctors, etc., & washed my hands, plus putting on scrubs, gloves & other emergency surgery attire including a mouth-mask to covering my mouth & escorted Dr. Bailey over to the awaiting operating room at Makati. My heart was racing, pounding & I was scared.

Uncle Joe sizing up the Cabinet & White House Staff 3:48 PM EST, Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 Oval Office, White House, Washington, DC. President Biden having a private moment alone inside the Oval Office.
After a closed-door meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Biden wanted a private moment alone inside the Oval Office. "This cannot be real. What in the Hell happened ? What can I do to lead the country in the coming days, weeks, months & years ahead ?" Biden wondered to himself. He had been hard at work inside the Oval Office, having not left the White House grounds since he assumed the Presidency on April 28th. It was still less than 24 HRS since Aliyah Imperial of the Secret Task Force shot & killed his predecessor, & he was still coming to terms with the devastating magnitude of what had happened in Manila. In spite of the two previous failed campaigns for the Dem nomination for President in 1988 & 2008, each candidacy being engulfed with gaffes & controversies than the last, Biden was haunted by the means which finally brought him his long desired title. During his long career in the United States Senate, he never really liked Nixon, Ford, Rockefeller, Brown, Reagan, Bush, Sr., Clinton, Gore or even Bush, Jr., naturally due to ideological differences or constant differences of opinion on major issues concerning Americans; though he got to know Obama (they served together in the United States Senate) was genuine, honest & thoroughly a decent, family man. None of this made any sense. Why would anybody want to kill Obama ?
There would be changes, though. Obvious changes in order for the new administration to wipe the slate clean. Some would be quicker than others. The new President quickly began to size up the White House staff & Cabinet. Some of them would have to get the boot: first ones on the chopping block: White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power & US Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder was loathed by members of Congress for obvious reasons (the Fast & Furious Scandal & other corruption scandals). To replace Holder wouldn't be MA Governor Deval Patrick (D), which conventional Washington political talk had suspected. Patrick instead would continue to finish out his 2nd term as Governor, which was due to expire on January 8th, 2015. Holder would be replaced by US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY St Loretta Lynch, whose nomination was blocked by United States Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) & US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who intended to delay having the nomination before the full Senate floor, which frustrated US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) because in Reid's view, this was a matter of national emergency in light of what transpired in Manila.
Also on the chopping block: (1) White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Alyssa Mastromonaco
(2) US Housing & Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan ******Although Donovan would be brought back for a cabinet-level post later on in a few months.
(3) Counselor to the President John Podesta
(4) White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmeri
(5) White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmier
(6) Chair of the Council of Economic Affairs Jason Furman
(7) Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes
(8) US Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius: effective June 9th upon Senate confirmation of OMB Director Sylvia Burrell.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was ready to leave himself; originally, he made plans to step down & plans were underway for his successor, Deputy Press SecretaryJosh Earnest to take over. But events in Manila changed everything. Needing some continuity, President Biden implored Carney to stay on for a few weeks, Carney agreed & Biden announced that Earnest would be named "Press Secretary-in-waiting", until he officially takes the Press Secretary post effective June 20th. Jim Clapper was to remain Director of National Intelligence & US Secretary of State John Kerry was likewise reassured by his longtime friend (both Kerry & Biden served in the United States Senate together) that he would be remaining in his position.
US Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, who had been engulfed with the ongoing controversies surrounding the Veterans Health Administration Scandal as well as the tragic deaths of US military veterans, who died of neglect due to long waiting for care at VA health facilities, had been facing calls for his resignation from both political parties. The pressure had been mounting for several weeks. At first, Shinseki vowed to fight the calls for his resignation, even pledging to cooperate with congressional investigations. With his former boss now in a casket bound for Chicago, he no longer felt bound to Biden, whom he assumed would be demanding his resignation, & had decided to resign effective May 30th. |

Tidbits on the TL: 1.) Former OK Governor Brad Henry (D) was given the go-ahead to launch a comeback in regaining the Governorship for a 3rd non-consecutive term in the 2014 elections, having announced his campaign for his old job in December 2013. 2.) Ron Musgrove (D) won 2008 special election for MS United States Senator & won full 6-year term in 2012. 3.) Sports will be impacted by the Obama assassination.
4.) US Forces Philippines (based off of US Forces Korea & US Forces Japan) has somewhere between 33,000-56,000 troops & possibly more reinforcements coming.
5.) US Special Defense Forces Taiwan will be discussed later in the TL.
6.) I think the Miss Universe pageant might be impacted as well, not sure how it'll be impacted on who wins the shining crown.

Bringing Barry Home 6:00 PM CST, Wednesday, April 30th, 2014 O'Haire International Airport, Chicago, IL. Air Force One arriving at the Chicago O'Haire International Airport
Over in Taguig City, Philippines: the body of the 46th President was carefully placed inside the silver-esque makeshift coffin, then locked tight & sealed shut. Members of the late President's Secret Service security detail acted as pallbearers & placed the coffin inside the hearse outside The Heritage Memorial Park, followed by the Obama family, who were escorted to an awaiting black SUV. A procession of 20 vehicles including Secret Service, PSG agents, PNP officers, the quiet procession began the long drive towards the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It was 12:38 PM PHST on a Wednesday morning. Over at the NAIA, it was an emotional gathering for people, who gathered to witness this moment. Nobody, American or Filipino, will ever forget where they were on Monday, April 28th, 2014. In some people's minds, this was their JFK moment.
At 2:00 PM PHST, the procession arrived at NAIA. Departure Honors was performed by the PSG Marching Band, where they performed "Hail to the Chief" as the 21 Cannon Salute was fired for the late US President Barack Obama, in a move out of respect for the late 46th President of the United States. Present during this sendoff ceremony was Philippine VP Jejomar Binay (who was not acting President, but attending the national security meetings in the aftermath of April 28th), US Ambassador to the Philippines Phil Goldberg & several dignitaries. The coffin was placed aboard XTS truck, which was later placed inside the private cabin of Air Force One. Afterwards, members of the Obama family, the accompanying entourage (who were traveling with Obama during his Pacific Tour) & many others boarded Air Force One. It was 2:56 PM PHST & Air Force One left NAIA onto the next destination: Chicago, IL....
Inside the private cabin of Air Force One, former US First Lady Michelle Obama & daughters, Sasha & Malia never left Barry's side as Michelle rested next to his coffin. Her brother, Oregon State Beavers Men's Basketball Coach Craig Robinson, his wife, Kelly, their 4 kids & the former First Lady's mother, Marion Shields Robinson were seated in the section leading to the private cabin as they were trying to comprehend on what had just happened on that fateful Monday afternoon in Manila. The time was 8:51 PM & Air Force was flying over US territory of Guam.
