I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.

It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.

Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.

The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.

Marina testified LHO confessed to her that he shot General Walker. He
listened to the radio that night but nothing on the news about it. The
next morning a report said the shot missed and the General was still alive
after a near miss. LHO was angry and disappointed he missed.

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.

Another story by a person named Gordon Arnold who claims he was filming
the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers
demanded his camera and took the film out and pitched the camera back to
him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.

Many problems with these dubious stories. The parking lot was a box
canyon situation with only one way in or out. Police and people watching
the parade converged on the Grassy Knoll from all directions. None of
them mention a Police Car in that area or leaving by the Elm Street
extension lane. DPD Officer Smith claims to be the first policeman behind
the Pergola. No mention of any police car with 2 officers inside. He did
see two men, one a Deputy Sheriff and another he thought was a Secret
Service Agent. Neither one had a rifle or mentioned a police car.
Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.

sent back to Russia:

"Mr. Rankin. After the assassination, did the police and FBI and the
Secret Service ask you many questions. Mrs. Oswald (Marina). In the
police station there was a routine regular questioning, as always happens.
And then after I was with the agents of the Secret Service and the FBI,
they asked me many questions, of course--many questions. Sometimes the
FBI agents asked me questions which had no bearing or relationship, and if
I didn't want to answer they told me that if I wanted to live in this
country, I would have to help in this matter, even though they were often
irrelevant. That is the FBI."

shooting from that location. Sam Holland saw smoke coming from that area
behind the fence, along with others, and he went there and saw the
footprints of someone who was standing there for a while smoking, and
resting his muddy feet on a bumper there.

Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and
a 68 degree day was not chilly and people were not wearing jackets or
wraps of any type. You make up any excuse you can with your (failed)
attempts at proving Gordon Arnold was where he said he was in Dallas.
His story is fabricated.

DPD Officer Smith claims to be the first policeman behind
the Pergola. No mention of any police car with 2 officers inside. He did
see two men, one a Deputy Sheriff and another he thought was a Secret
Service Agent. Neither one had a rifle or mentioned a police car.
There was no police car.

Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
Other stories say that Gordon Arnold was wearing a overcoat, it was
November and chilly. Please supply cites and links for the summer
uniform, otherwise it's a phony comment. Arnold's story is plausible.
LNs can't face it that he gives evidence that there was a conspiracy.

Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and
a 68 degree day was not chilly and people were not wearing jackets or
wraps of any type. You make up any excuse you can with your (failed)
attempts at proving Gordon Arnold was where he said he was in Dallas.
His story is fabricated.
I hear you. When I was in the service, by November I was wearing my
winter uniform. And that was in Texas where I was stationed. So whether
Arnold was wearing his overcoat or not, it was winter garb he had on. I
remember November in 1963 as being cold and windy in Texas. But if you
have proof that it was 68 degrees, show me how you were able to determine
that. Newspaper?

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
Marina testified LHO confessed to her that he shot General Walker. He
listened to the radio that night but nothing on the news about it. The
next morning a report said the shot missed and the General was still alive
after a near miss. LHO was angry and disappointed he missed.
Marina at that time was mouthing whatever the authorities wanted her to
say. Here's one of her statements about them using her fear she would be
"Mr. Rankin. After the assassination, did the police and FBI and the
Secret Service ask you many questions. Mrs. Oswald (Marina). In the
police station there was a routine regular questioning, as always happens.
And then after I was with the agents of the Secret Service and the FBI,
they asked me many questions, of course--many questions. Sometimes the
FBI agents asked me questions which had no bearing or relationship, and if
I didn't want to answer they told me that if I wanted to live in this
country, I would have to help in this matter, even though they were often
irrelevant. That is the FBI."

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
If it is important that someone heard shots from the TSBD, they also
heard shots from the Grassy Knoll. There was evidence that someone was
shooting from that location. Sam Holland saw smoke coming from that area
behind the fence, along with others, and he went there and saw the
footprints of someone who was standing there for a while smoking, and
resting his muddy feet on a bumper there.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Walter Rischel spoke out after Lee Bowers was killed in a road accident
by hitting a concrete abutment. He said that Bowers had avoided giving
the details of the men behind the fence using rifles and firing at the
motorcade.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area.
Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Post by claviger
Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yep, smart shooters.
Post by claviger
A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn.
Prove there was one on the lawn. Cites and links please, or it didn't
happen.

No shots
fired from that area.
The bullet hole in the forehead of JFK says otherwise. Now it's just
a matter of determining the location of the shooter.
Post by claviger
No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
With all the echoing there could not be any good witnesses as to
location based on sound only.

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
If you present that evidence, you must believe it. So there WAS
someone firing from the fence area on the GK.

Another story by a person named Gordon Arnold who claims he was filming
the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers
demanded his camera and took the film out and pitched the camera back to
him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.
There is no evidence whatsoever that it was "snipers" or shooters that
accosted Arnold.
Post by claviger
Many problems with these dubious stories. The parking lot was a box
canyon situation with only one way in or out. Police and people watching
the parade converged on the Grassy Knoll from all directions.
They did not converge from the back side where the exit was. That was

It doesn't matter what weather is typical for November in Texas. What
matters is what the weather was like the day of the assassination. It
started out cloudy and rainy in Ft. Worth that morning but by the time AF1
landed at Love field there were bright blue skies. It was warm enough for
them to ride in an open top car with no overcoats. Looking at the
spectators, the men were mostly wearing suit coats with no overcoat or
light windbreakers. Bill Newman was wearing a long sleeve shirt with no
jacket. About what one would expect to see on a sunny day with the
temperature in the 60s.

Yes, I watched his "confession" years ago, and he gave himself away as a
con artist when he claimed to have seen things in real time as he was
shooting which cannot be seen in real time and can only be seen by looking
at the Zapruder film frame by frame. He was very obviously *coached* in

I hear you. When I was in the service, by November I was wearing my

I will challenge you on this. I have ***LIVED*** in Texas, continuously
(meaning I have never in my life lived outside of Texas, not even as
briefly as one month) since 1958. So you were stationed in Texas in one
single November in one single year? Or was it more than one year? I very
much doubt, however, that you have, in your entire life, been in Texas in
November nearly as often as I have. I have by now experienced
*fifty-eight* Novembers in Texas, and I have long ago lost count of how
many hundreds of *warm* November days we've had here, in *every* year, in
*every* decade.

Er, you "remember" November in 1963 as being cold and windy?? You were
stationed here in exactly that November in exactly that year? You must be
far older than I thought then. I was five on the day of the
assassination, and at that time I lived in Stephenville, Tx. According to
Google Earth, Stephenville is only 90.41 miles west-southwest of downtown
Dallas, and Stephenville is furthermore only about five-tenths of a degree
of latitude south of downtown Dallas. I do not recall 11-22-63 as being
especially "cold," and I otherwise remember the day quite well: after I
came home from kindergarten I remember my dad and I watching the tiny
black and white tv in his bedroom. He was standing and I was sitting on
the edge of his bed. I asked him what happened and he said, "The
President has been killed," and he just stood there and became very silent
after that. I have no recollection, however, of wearing anything even
remotely similar to "winter clothing." And of course I will never believe
you if you falsely claim that the weather in Stephenville was dramatically
different from the weather in Dallas on that day.

Oh, and in case you, or someone, or anyone, challenges me in the slightest
on any of this, I imagine that it will be childishly easy to prove that my
father was an English professor at Tarleton in Stephenville in 1963-1964.
His name was Merton King, and my name is John Reagor King. Proof that I
really am who I say I am, and that my father was really who I say he was
is all over the internet by now, including a certain man in San Antonio,
Tx, who has falsely claimed that I am a child molester, not because he
genuinely believes it's true, but because he has a long history, going
back more than a decade, of just "saying" anyone is a child molester
whenever he doesn't like what they've said about him on the internet, even
when what they've said about him is provably true.

And by practically all accounts,

Clavinger, who I also killfiled at one point (proving beyond all
reasonable doubt that I do not only killfile CTs) has given you the
irrefutable source of this. 68 degrees, Fahrenheit, is not considered
"cold" here in Texas in November, especially when it is sunny. I *defy*
you to produce verbatim quotes from real Texans such as me specifically
saying that 68 F is "cold" in sunny weather. Hell, I've gone outside in
*exactly* that weather here *shirtless*, and it felt entirely comfortable
to me.

Oh, and you are *blatantly* *ignoring* what Jackie herself said. Since
you ***BLATANTLY*** ***REFUSE*** to quote it, I will quote it without even
being *asked* to quote it:

"Mrs. KENNEDY. Well, I remember whenever it was, Mrs. Connally said, "We
will soon be there." We could see a tunnel in front of us. Everything was
really slow then. And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."

And what was she ***OBVIOUSLY*** referring to as the "tunnel"? Oh that's
right: where Elm goes under the Triple Underpass. There isn't anything
else that she was even *maybe* referring to in that statement, since aside
from the Triple Underpass, there is nothing even remotely resembling a
"tunnel" on Elm. I've driven down Elm, all the way, many times in my
life.

How many times have *you* driven down it, Chris?

Less than half as often as I have, correct?

Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Oh you mean (whichever of you posted that sentence) exactly the same way,
with no difference whatsoever, that Oswald allegedly left that window on
the sixth floor immediately after firing the final shot? According to
your exact argument only, not mine, just yours only, Oswald was equally
"smart" as any additional shooters.
The information I have doesn't say whether Oswald left before the
final shot, or after. But he was seen at the 2nd floor lunchroom a minute
after the shooting. And he did NOT fire any of the shots. He was also
seen sitting at the 2nd floor lunchroom at about 12:15pm.

Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yep, smart shooters.
Just as "smart," with no difference whatsoever, as Oswald as the sole
shooter as described in the WCR.
Well, that shows the foolishness of the WCR. they were gong to prove

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
Yes, I watched his "confession" years ago, and he gave himself away as a
con artist when he claimed to have seen things in real time as he was
shooting which cannot be seen in real time and can only be seen by looking
at the Zapruder film frame by frame. He was very obviously *coached* in
his claims.
Seeing things in the Z-film might be a mistake, since it was altered.

Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
Other stories say that Gordon Arnold was wearing a overcoat, it was
November and chilly. Please supply cites and links for the summer
uniform, otherwise it's a phony comment. Arnold's story is plausible.
LNs can't face it that he gives evidence that there was a conspiracy.
Chris
Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and
a 68 degree day was not chilly and people were not wearing jackets or
wraps of any type. You make up any excuse you can with your (failed)
attempts at proving Gordon Arnold was where he said he was in Dallas.
His story is fabricated.
I hear you. When I was in the service, by November I was wearing my
winter uniform. And that was in Texas where I was stationed.
I will challenge you on this. I have ***LIVED*** in Texas, continuously
(meaning I have never in my life lived outside of Texas, not even as
briefly as one month) since 1958. So you were stationed in Texas in one
single November in one single year? Or was it more than one year?
Wrong! I was stationed in Texas for 4 years straight.
Post by Caeruleo
I very
much doubt, however, that you have, in your entire life, been in Texas in
November nearly as often as I have. I have by now experienced
*fifty-eight* Novembers in Texas, and I have long ago lost count of how
many hundreds of *warm* November days we've had here, in *every* year, in
*every* decade.
that's nice.

So whether
Arnold was wearing his overcoat or not, it was winter garb he had on. I
remember November in 1963 as being cold and windy in Texas.
Er, you "remember" November in 1963 as being cold and windy?? You were
stationed here in exactly that November in exactly that year? You must be
far older than I thought then. I was five on the day of the
assassination, and at that time I lived in Stephenville, Tx.
I was in Texas in November 1963 and left the service in October 1964
from Texas. And I ain't a kid.

According to
Google Earth, Stephenville is only 90.41 miles west-southwest of downtown
Dallas, and Stephenville is furthermore only about five-tenths of a degree
of latitude south of downtown Dallas. I do not recall 11-22-63 as being
especially "cold," and I otherwise remember the day quite well: after I
came home from kindergarten I remember my dad and I watching the tiny
black and white tv in his bedroom. He was standing and I was sitting on
the edge of his bed. I asked him what happened and he said, "The
President has been killed," and he just stood there and became very silent
after that. I have no recollection, however, of wearing anything even
remotely similar to "winter clothing." And of course I will never believe
you if you falsely claim that the weather in Stephenville was dramatically

Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Oh you mean (whichever of you posted that sentence) exactly the same way,
with no difference whatsoever, that Oswald allegedly left that window on
the sixth floor immediately after firing the final shot? According to
your exact argument only, not mine, just yours only, Oswald was equally

The information I have doesn't say whether Oswald left before the
final shot, or after. But he was seen at the 2nd floor lunchroom a minute
after the shooting. And he did NOT fire any of the shots. He was also
seen sitting at the 2nd floor lunchroom at about 12:15pm.
Oh, really. Who was running the stopwatch. You need to start writing down
your own bullshit so you can keep your stories straight. This was your
original story. Then you realized that if Baker got to the lunchroom
within one minute that would mean Mac Wallace, Loy Factor, and the gal
with the walkie-talkie would have had less than a minute to go down the
back stairs and out the back door before Truly and Baker started coming up
those same stairs. At that point you decided you need to give thos three
more time so you changed the narrative to say that it took Truly and Baker
even longer than what the WC recreations showed so you expanded that time
to at least two minutes or more. Now you apparently forgot that little
problem and have gone back to claiming the Baker/Oswald encounter happened
within a minute of the last shot. You can't have it both ways. You can't
at once say Baker reached the lunchroom within two minutes and still claim
your three person team on the 6th floor had more than two minutes to get
out the back before Truly and Baker started up the stairs.

Here's the dilemma you face. You need to get your 3 person team out the
back door before Baker and Truly began running up the stairs. It you want
to claim the encounter with Oswald took place a minute after the last shot
that would mean your threesome had less than a minute to get out the
backdoor because they had to get out BEFORE Baker and Truly even started
up the stairs. If you want to give them more time to get out the back
door, it necessitates that you push the Baker/Oswald encounter back which
gives Oswald more time to reach the lunchroom from the 6th floor. There is
no way you can claim it would take your threesome less time to descend to
the first floor than it would take Oswald to descend to the second floor.
But that's the corner you have painted yourself into. I realize I am being
logical about all this so your head is probably spinning by now.

At that point you decided you need to give thos three
more time so you changed the narrative to say that it took Truly and Baker
even longer than what the WC recreations showed so you expanded that time
to at least two minutes or more. Now you apparently forgot that little
problem and have gone back to claiming the Baker/Oswald encounter happened
within a minute of the last shot. You can't have it both ways. You can't
at once say Baker reached the lunchroom within two minutes and still claim
your three person team on the 6th floor had more than two minutes to get
out the back before Truly and Baker started up the stairs.
Here's the dilemma you face. You need to get your 3 person team out the
back door before Baker and Truly began running up the stairs. It you want
to claim the encounter with Oswald took place a minute after the last shot
that would mean your threesome had less than a minute to get out the
backdoor because they had to get out BEFORE Baker and Truly even started
up the stairs. If you want to give them more time to get out the back
door, it necessitates that you push the Baker/Oswald encounter back which
gives Oswald more time to reach the lunchroom from the 6th floor. There is
no way you can claim it would take your threesome less time to descend to
the first floor than it would take Oswald to descend to the second floor.
But that's the corner you have painted yourself into. I realize I am being
logical about all this so your head is probably spinning by now.
You can work it for all its worth, since you have nothing else of any
importance. Yep, it's possible it was incorrect about the timing, because
it was necessary for the group of 3 to escape out the back stairs and the
loading dock before anyone came up those stairs.
It would have taken those three people longer to reach the first floor
than it took Oswald to reach the second floor. Baker and Truly got to the
based of the stairway in less time than it too them to get to the second
floor. You can't logically argue that your three person team had time to
get out the back door but Oswald didn't have time to reach the second
floor lunchroom. But who ever said your arguments were logically.
There is no proof that Baker and Truly got there on the 2nd floor
before Oswald was already in the lunchroom.

Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Oh you mean (whichever of you posted that sentence) exactly the same way,
with no difference whatsoever, that Oswald allegedly left that window on
the sixth floor immediately after firing the final shot? According to
your exact argument only, not mine, just yours only, Oswald was equally
"smart" as any additional shooters.
The information I have doesn't say whether Oswald left before the
final shot, or after. But he was seen at the 2nd floor lunchroom a minute
after the shooting. And he did NOT fire any of the shots. He was also
seen sitting at the 2nd floor lunchroom at about 12:15pm.
Oh, really. Who was running the stopwatch. You need to start writing down
your own bullshit so you can keep your stories straight.
WRONG! You need to not forget situations we've discussed many times it
the past. Who do you think you're fooling? Pretending that we haven't
argued this out many times in the past. Is that for a new person to the
forum? If you will look carefully, instead of jumping into to the fire,
you'll see above that I said "about 12:15pm". It could have been later,
of course.
You can't even remember what you've written from one post to the next.
Before you mentioned 12:15 your wrote, "But he was seen at the 2nd floor
lunchroom a minute after the shooting." So when we are talking about
Oswald, you claim Baker encountered him in the lunchroom one minute after
the shooting. When you are talking about your 3 person team, you claim
that encounter occurred much later because you had to give them time to
get out of the building through the back door.
Good point, let me correct that. 'At least a minute and a half or
more.'
So you acknowledge that Oswald had "At least a minute and a half OR MORE"
to get down to the lunchroom before Baker and Truly reached the second
floor.

those same stairs.
WRONG! When I said "about 12:15pm" it could have been a bit either
way,
We aren't talking about when Oswald was seen before the shooting. We are
talking about how soon after the shooting he was seen by Baker.
Post by mainframetech
but the timing on Baker and Truly was 90 seconds, which you (of
course) said could be gotten done from the 6th floor without any problem.
So now it's 90 seconds. A couple posts ago you said it was a minute.
Several months ago when you claimed the 3 person team slipped out the back
you claimed it was even longer. You want to give those 3 people more time
than you are willing to give Oswald even though they had one more floor to
descend and they had to get out before Baker even got to the stairs.
The point is that it happened, and so the time was enough for it to be
accomplished. What ever amount of time was need.
Oswald needed less time to get to the 2nd floor than your shooters would
have needed to get to the ground floor. Baker and Truly needed less time
to get to the stairway on the ground floor than they did to reach the
second floor landing. So Oswald would have had more time to go less
distance than your shooters.

The truth is we don't know how long after the last shot that encounter
took place. We can only estimate it though recreations. What we do know is
whatever the time frame was, the same time frame would apply to Oswald and
your three person team. You want to have one time frame for Oswald and a
longer one for your three people.
Since it got done, there was enough time, no matter what that amount
was. The silly guesses in the WCR certainly don't work.
And there was enough time for Oswald to get to the lunchroom too. More
time than your shooters would have had to reach the first floor. Remember
than the next time you try to use the lunchroom encounter with Baker as an
alibi for Oswald.
Post by mainframetech

But OBVIOUSLY, it had to be longer for the real time.
Which would mean Oswald would have had more time too.
Well, we've discussed what Oswald did in the lunchroom many times. He
might well have come back to the door with that window in it to see who
was outside, or any reason in the world. There is no guarantee that he
did what YOU would like, and have just been passing into the door from the
6th floor.
He might also have come down from the 6th floor and reached the second
floor just ahead of Baker and Truly and ducked into the lunchroom when he
heard them coming up the stairs. It is the conspiracy hobbyists who try to
use the encounter with Baker as an alibi for Oswald so it is up to them to
establish that he couldn't have been on the 6th floor when the last shot
was fired and still got to the lunchroom ahead of Baker. You have
acknowledged that he had more than enough time to do that.

No proof is needed. The proof is needed by those who want to use the

fired the shots. You have acknowledged that Oswald had time to get down to
the second floor after the last shot was fired so that shoots down that
alibi. The proof that Oswald was the shooter has been well established.
You know that because you have invented excuses to dismiss all of it.

Since it only takes a minute or two, at most, for the average adult to

Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yep, smart shooters.
Just as "smart," with no difference whatsoever, as Oswald as the sole
shooter as described in the WCR.
Well, that shows the foolishness of the WCR. they were gong to prove
the 'lone nut' killing no matter what.
Whatever; that does not address what I said, so let's try this again:

You called the shooters "smart" because they got away from the exact
locations from which they fired the shots quickly enough not to be obvious
to law enforcement. But exactly that same argument, with no difference
whatsoever, applies equally well to a single shooter on the sixth floor of
the TSBD, no matter who that shooter was, no matter whether it was Oswald
or not, because that shooter was indeed no longer there when law
enforcement first arrived on that floor, so if that shooter *was* Oswald,
then Oswald would have been just as "smart," with no difference
whatsoever, as your multiple "shooters." Also this can be *independent*
of anything the WC claimed about Oswald, for obvious reasons.

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
Yes, I watched his "confession" years ago, and he gave himself away as a
con artist when he claimed to have seen things in real time as he was
shooting which cannot be seen in real time and can only be seen by looking
at the Zapruder film frame by frame. He was very obviously *coached* in
his claims.
Seeing things in the Z-film might be a mistake, since it was altered.
So you keep saying. I've seen quite a bit of your so-called "evidence"
over a period of several years that the film was "altered" and practically
of your "evidence" is extraordinarily meager.

Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
Other stories say that Gordon Arnold was wearing a overcoat, it was
November and chilly. Please supply cites and links for the summer
uniform, otherwise it's a phony comment. Arnold's story is plausible.
LNs can't face it that he gives evidence that there was a conspiracy.
Chris
Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and
a 68 degree day was not chilly and people were not wearing jackets or
wraps of any type. You make up any excuse you can with your (failed)
attempts at proving Gordon Arnold was where he said he was in Dallas.
His story is fabricated.
I hear you. When I was in the service, by November I was wearing my
winter uniform. And that was in Texas where I was stationed.
I will challenge you on this. I have ***LIVED*** in Texas, continuously
(meaning I have never in my life lived outside of Texas, not even as
briefly as one month) since 1958. So you were stationed in Texas in one
single November in one single year? Or was it more than one year?
Wrong!
"Wrong" about what, exactly? I made no specific statement; instead of
that I *asked* you if you were stationed in Texas for only one month or
for more than one year.

According to
Google Earth, Stephenville is only 90.41 miles west-southwest of downtown
Dallas, and Stephenville is furthermore only about five-tenths of a degree
of latitude south of downtown Dallas. I do not recall 11-22-63 as being
especially "cold," and I otherwise remember the day quite well: after I
came home from kindergarten I remember my dad and I watching the tiny
black and white tv in his bedroom. He was standing and I was sitting on
the edge of his bed. I asked him what happened and he said, "The
President has been killed," and he just stood there and became very silent
after that. I have no recollection, however, of wearing anything even
remotely similar to "winter clothing." And of course I will never believe
you if you falsely claim that the weather in Stephenville was dramatically
different from the weather in Dallas on that day.
Can't say. And I'm not particularly bothered if you don't believe me
about something.
I never actually said, specifically, that I don't believe you about the
weather. The point I and other posters have made to you, however, is that
many people do not consider 68 degrees F, especially when it is also
sunny, to be especially chilly. You yourself might consider that to be
chilly enough to wear a jacket or whatever, but that does not
automatically mean that your opinion is consistent with the majority.

But if you

Clavinger, who I also killfiled at one point (proving beyond all
reasonable doubt that I do not only killfile CTs) has given you the
irrefutable source of this. 68 degrees, Fahrenheit, is not considered
"cold" here in Texas in November, especially when it is sunny. I *defy*
you to produce verbatim quotes from real Texans such as me specifically
saying that 68 F is "cold" in sunny weather. Hell, I've gone outside in
*exactly* that weather here *shirtless*, and it felt entirely comfortable
to me.
I have accepted Claviger's temperature. That's over as far as I'm
concerned. He was off slightly, but not enough to matter.
But you are still not addressing, in any realistic detailed sense, the
obvious problems with Gordon Arnold's credibility, which go far beyond
just his claim of what he was wearing that day.

Oh, and you are *blatantly* *ignoring* what Jackie herself said. Since
you ***BLATANTLY*** ***REFUSE*** to quote it, I will quote it without even
"Mrs. KENNEDY. Well, I remember whenever it was, Mrs. Connally said, "We
will soon be there." We could see a tunnel in front of us. Everything was
really slow then. And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."
And what was she ***OBVIOUSLY*** referring to as the "tunnel"? Oh that's
right: where Elm goes under the Triple Underpass. There isn't anything
else that she was even *maybe* referring to in that statement, since aside
from the Triple Underpass, there is nothing even remotely resembling a
"tunnel" on Elm. I've driven down Elm, all the way, many times in my
life.
How many times have *you* driven down it, Chris?
Less than half as often as I have, correct?
You really need to update your people skills.
Well, that's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.

And you totally evaded what I said above, so let's try this again a second
time:

Jackie very clearly said that no matter what the temperature actually was,
she felt too hot when the limo was in the sun. That is quite obviously
why she said she was looking forward to the limo going under the Triple
Underpass: "And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."

I can help you in that
area, but I doubt you ever accept any help for these things.
Nonsense. You don't know nearly enough about me to have any clear idea as
to whether or not that is even remotely true. So once again, just as you
have done before, you all too quickly jump to a conclusion without having
nearly enough evidence to support that conclusion.

You called the shooters "smart" because they got away from the exact
locations from which they fired the shots quickly enough not to be obvious
to law enforcement. But exactly that same argument, with no difference
whatsoever, applies equally well to a single shooter on the sixth floor of
the TSBD, no matter who that shooter was, no matter whether it was Oswald
or not, because that shooter was indeed no longer there when law
enforcement first arrived on that floor, so if that shooter *was* Oswald,
then Oswald would have been just as "smart," with no difference
whatsoever, as your multiple "shooters." Also this can be *independent*
of anything the WC claimed about Oswald, for obvious reasons.

you ***BLATANTLY*** ***REFUSE*** to quote it, I will quote it without even

really slow then. And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."
And what was she ***OBVIOUSLY*** referring to as the "tunnel"? Oh that's
right: where Elm goes under the Triple Underpass. There isn't anything
else that she was even *maybe* referring to in that statement, since aside
from the Triple Underpass, there is nothing even remotely resembling a

Less than half as often as I have, correct?
You really need to update your people skills.
Well, that's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.
And you totally evaded what I said above, so let's try this again a second
Jackie very clearly said that no matter what the temperature actually was,
she felt too hot when the limo was in the sun. That is quite obviously
why she said she was looking forward to the limo going under the Triple

Nonsense. You don't know nearly enough about me to have any clear idea as

Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Oh you mean (whichever of you posted that sentence) exactly the same way,
with no difference whatsoever, that Oswald allegedly left that window on
the sixth floor immediately after firing the final shot? According to
your exact argument only, not mine, just yours only, Oswald was equally
"smart" as any additional shooters.
The information I have doesn't say whether Oswald left before the
final shot, or after. But he was seen at the 2nd floor lunchroom a minute
after the shooting.
Neither Baker or Truly ever said that it was a short a time as "a minute,"
singular. The so-called "official" time is approximately 90 seconds after
the last shot was fired, but both Baker and Truly admitted, on multiple
dates, that the actual time could have been longer than that.
Post by mainframetech
And he did NOT fire any of the shots.
It has never come anywhere even remotely close to being irrefutably proven
that he did not fire any of the shots.
Post by mainframetech
He was also
seen sitting at the 2nd floor lunchroom at about 12:15pm.
That's approximately fifteen minutes before the first shot was fired.
That's more than enough time to still get back up to the sixth floor to
fire the first shot no earlier than 12:29. How do you know he didn't
leave the lunchroom one minute later, at 12:16, after he was "seen"?
Since it only takes a minute or two, at most, for the average adult to
walk up four flights of stairs, being in the lunchroom even as late as
12:25 still comes nowhere close to precluding that same person being the
shooter on the sixth floor.

It sure hasn't come anywhere close to proving he DID fire any of the

the involved people might begin to tell their story, not being too
concerned with end of their life. I read a book that seems to be a case
like that. The information in the book is that Oswald wasn't present, but
2 other people were, and they both fired weapons out the window. One of
them used the MC rifle. Of course, you'll be an LN about it and swear
it's false, but there it is.

Well, you see that wasn't quite right. If that scenario is taken, just
about the same time, 2 men were seen in the 6th floor window with a gun by
2 people, and another saw 2 men in the 6th floor, without seen. If Oswald
tried to make his way to the 6th floor window at that time, they 2 men
with a gun would surely persuade him to return to whence he came. The
reason they were there should be obvious.

Since there were other men seen on the 6th floor with a gun based on

the film was taken to the CIA lab in Rochester, NY which was given away by

"Mrs. KENNEDY. Well, I remember whenever it was, Mrs. Connally said, "We
will soon be there." We could see a tunnel in front of us. Everything was
really slow then. And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."
And what was she ***OBVIOUSLY*** referring to as the "tunnel"? Oh that's
right: where Elm goes under the Triple Underpass. There isn't anything
else that she was even *maybe* referring to in that statement, since aside
from the Triple Underpass, there is nothing even remotely resembling a
"tunnel" on Elm. I've driven down Elm, all the way, many times in my
life.
How many times have *you* driven down it, Chris?
Less than half as often as I have, correct?
You really need to update your people skills.
Well, that's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.
And you totally evaded what I said above, so let's try this again a second
Jackie very clearly said that no matter what the temperature actually was,
she felt too hot when the limo was in the sun. That is quite obviously
why she said she was looking forward to the limo going under the Triple
Underpass: "And I remember thinking it would be so cool under that
tunnel."

I can help you in that
area, but I doubt you ever accept any help for these things.
Nonsense. You don't know nearly enough about me to have any clear idea as
to whether or not that is even remotely true. So once again, just as you
have done before, you all too quickly jump to a conclusion without having
nearly enough evidence to support that conclusion.
Of course, some people would say, I do accept help, or I don't accept
help, but instead you avoid giving any information.

It's bee na waste of time arguing over the temp when I had already
settled that with Claviger. Next time let's talk about something
substantive.

Proving how smart the shooters were by leaving immediately after firing.
Oh you mean (whichever of you posted that sentence) exactly the same way,
with no difference whatsoever, that Oswald allegedly left that window on
the sixth floor immediately after firing the final shot? According to
your exact argument only, not mine, just yours only, Oswald was equally
"smart" as any additional shooters.
The information I have doesn't say whether Oswald left before the
final shot, or after. But he was seen at the 2nd floor lunchroom a minute
after the shooting.
Neither Baker or Truly ever said that it was a short a time as "a minute,"
singular. The so-called "official" time is approximately 90 seconds after
the last shot was fired, but both Baker and Truly admitted, on multiple
dates, that the actual time could have been longer than that.
I agree. Have you ever said just a minute? It's a standard phrase
meaning a short time of indeterminate length.

And he did NOT fire any of the shots.
It has never come anywhere even remotely close to being irrefutably proven
that he did not fire any of the shots.
It sure hasn't come anywhere close to proving he DID fire any of the
shots. Now many folks have commented that when they all got old, many of
the involved people might begin to tell their story, not being too
concerned with end of their life. I read a book that seems to be a case
like that. The information in the book is that Oswald wasn't present, but
2 other people were, and they both fired weapons out the window. One of
them used the MC rifle. Of course, you'll be an LN about it and swear
it's false, but there it is.
Post by Caeruleo
Post by mainframetech
He was also
seen sitting at the 2nd floor lunchroom at about 12:15pm.
That's approximately fifteen minutes before the first shot was fired.
That's more than enough time to still get back up to the sixth floor to
fire the first shot no earlier than 12:29. How do you know he didn't
leave the lunchroom one minute later, at 12:16, after he was "seen"?
Since it only takes a minute or two, at most, for the average adult to
walk up four flights of stairs, being in the lunchroom even as late as
12:25 still comes nowhere close to precluding that same person being the
shooter on the sixth floor.
Well, you see that wasn't quite right. If that scenario is taken, just
about the same time, 2 men were seen in the 6th floor window with a gun by
2 people, and another saw 2 men in the 6th floor, without seen. If Oswald
tried to make his way to the 6th floor window at that time, they 2 men
with a gun would surely persuade him to return to whence he came. The
reason they were there should be obvious.

Yep, smart shooters.
Just as "smart," with no difference whatsoever, as Oswald as the sole
shooter as described in the WCR.
Well, that shows the foolishness of the WCR. they were going to prove
the 'lone nut' killing no matter what.
You called the shooters "smart" because they got away from the exact
locations from which they fired the shots quickly enough not to be obvious
to law enforcement. But exactly that same argument, with no difference
whatsoever, applies equally well to a single shooter on the sixth floor of
the TSBD, no matter who that shooter was, no matter whether it was Oswald
or not, because that shooter was indeed no longer there when law
enforcement first arrived on that floor, so if that shooter *was* Oswald,
then Oswald would have been just as "smart," with no difference
whatsoever, as your multiple "shooters." Also this can be *independent*
of anything the WC claimed about Oswald, for obvious reasons.
Since there were other men seen on the 6th floor with a gun based on
witnesses, the question of Oswald being there seems moot.
And BTW, law enforcement ran into Oswald inside the door to the 2nd
floor lunchroom after the shooting. They continued on up to the top floor
after that.

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man

XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and

Yes, I watched his "confession" years ago, and he gave himself away as a
con artist when he claimed to have seen things in real time as he was
shooting which cannot be seen in real time and can only be seen by looking
at the Zapruder film frame by frame. He was very obviously *coached* in
his claims.
Seeing things in the Z-film might be a mistake, since it was altered.
So you keep saying. I've seen quite a bit of your so-called "evidence"
over a period of several years that the film was "altered" and practically
of your "evidence" is extraordinarily meager.
Welp, that's your opinion. Did you also view the independent analyses?
And the witnesses who were CIA Film analysts? And did you spend the time
to read the 2 00 pages written by Douglas Horne about how the film was
altered, and what equipment was available in 1963 to do the work, and that
the film was taken to the CIA lab in Rochester, NY which was given away by
a CIA messenger? Probably not. You had your opinion after all.

Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and

His story is fabricated.
I hear you. When I was in the service, by November I was wearing my
winter uniform. And that was in Texas where I was stationed.
I will challenge you on this. I have ***LIVED*** in Texas, continuously
(meaning I have never in my life lived outside of Texas, not even as
briefly as one month) since 1958. So you were stationed in Texas in one
single November in one single year? Or was it more than one year?
Wrong!

According to
Google Earth, Stephenville is only 90.41 miles west-southwest of downtown
Dallas, and Stephenville is furthermore only about five-tenths of a degree
of latitude south of downtown Dallas. I do not recall 11-22-63 as being
especially "cold," and I otherwise remember the day quite well: after I
came home from kindergarten I remember my dad and I watching the tiny
black and white tv in his bedroom. He was standing and I was sitting on
the edge of his bed. I asked him what happened and he said, "The
President has been killed," and he just stood there and became very silent
after that. I have no recollection, however, of wearing anything even
remotely similar to "winter clothing." And of course I will never believe
you if you falsely claim that the weather in Stephenville was dramatically
different from the weather in Dallas on that day.
Can't say. And I'm not particularly bothered if you don't believe me
about something.
I never actually said, specifically, that I don't believe you about the
weather. The point I and other posters have made to you, however, is that
many people do not consider 68 degrees F, especially when it is also
sunny, to be especially chilly. You yourself might consider that to be
chilly enough to wear a jacket or whatever, but that does not
automatically mean that your opinion is consistent with the majority.
It doesn't matter what any majority does. That time of year, the
military calls it winter garb, and everyone changes uniforms.

saying that 68 F is "cold" in sunny weather. Hell, I've gone outside in

I have accepted Claviger's temperature. That's over as far as I'm
concerned. He was off slightly, but not enough to matter.
But you are still not addressing, in any realistic detailed sense, the
obvious problems with Gordon Arnold's credibility, which go far beyond
just his claim of what he was wearing that day.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
Marina testified LHO confessed to her that he shot General Walker. He
listened to the radio that night but nothing on the news about it. The
next morning a report said the shot missed and the General was still alive
after a near miss. LHO was angry and disappointed he missed.
Marina at that time was mouthing whatever the authorities wanted her to
say. Here's one of her statements about them using her fear she would be
"Mr. Rankin. After the assassination, did the police and FBI and the
Secret Service ask you many questions. Mrs. Oswald (Marina). In the
police station there was a routine regular questioning, as always happens.
And then after I was with the agents of the Secret Service and the FBI,
they asked me many questions, of course--many questions. Sometimes the
FBI agents asked me questions which had no bearing or relationship, and if
I didn't want to answer they told me that if I wanted to live in this
country, I would have to help in this matter, even though they were often
irrelevant. That is the FBI."

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
If it is important that someone heard shots from the TSBD, they also
heard shots from the Grassy Knoll. There was evidence that someone was
shooting from that location. Sam Holland saw smoke coming from that area
behind the fence, along with others, and he went there and saw the
footprints of someone who was standing there for a while smoking, and
resting his muddy feet on a bumper there.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the

anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.

the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers

him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.

Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
Other stories say that Gordon Arnold was wearing a overcoat, it was
November and chilly. Please supply cites and links for the summer
uniform, otherwise it's a phony comment. Arnold's story is plausible.
LNs can't face it that he gives evidence that there was a conspiracy.

Nice try, Chris. Sixty eight degrees is NOT chilly! I lived in Dallas and
a 68 degree day was not chilly and people were not wearing jackets or
wraps of any type. You make up any excuse you can with your (failed)
attempts at proving Gordon Arnold was where he said he was in Dallas.
His story is fabricated.
So you say JFK and Connally were not wearing suit jackets? Then how did
they get bullet holes in them?
I think what you meant to say is that no spectators or people in the
motorcade were wearing overcoats. OK, close enough for a WC defender.
But in fact you've never looked at enough photos of the motorcade to
prove that. But if you did spot a spectator who was wearing a covercoat
you could call that suspicious and name him as a conspirator.

Like Larry Florer or Jean Hill. Only an assassin would be wearing an
overcoat on such a beautiful warm day! Yeah, that's it!
You could hide a machine gun under that trench coat.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Gordon Arnold's story is "plausible"?
Apparently you are using an extremely different definition of the word

where Arnold claims he was. And I mean *clearly*. If I'm "wrong," which

No, instead of that, any *reasonable* person, including many of your
fellow CTs, *dismiss* Gordon Arnold's claims that he was "there in Dealey
Plaza" at the time of the shooting. It is far more likely than not that
he *fabricated* his story no earlier than 15 years after the
assassination. If I'm "wrong," which I already know I'm not, quote
verbatim even one of his family members saying that they heard him telling
this story even one year earlier than 1978, along with the original source
of the quote, so that the rest of us can see whether or not the source is
what the majority of English-language speakers and writers would call a
"reliable" source. If it isn't what the *majority* calls "reliable," then
it is not called "reliable" in English.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
Why do you say things that you know are false. We can SEE that her body

perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
So you are admitting that it was the force of the shot which knocked him
back into the seat's back cushion. .John ain't gonna like this.
Your cover-up is falling apart and he can't rely on you.

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up

ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
Another story by a person named Gordon Arnold who claims he was filming
the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers
demanded his camera and took the film out and pitched the camera back to
him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.
Many problems with these dubious stories. The parking lot was a box
canyon situation with only one way in or out. Police and people watching
the parade converged on the Grassy Knoll from all directions. None of
them mention a Police Car in that area or leaving by the Elm Street
extension lane. DPD Officer Smith claims to be the first policeman behind
the Pergola. No mention of any police car with 2 officers inside. He did
see two men, one a Deputy Sheriff and another he thought was a Secret

First Thank you for your response. Film evidence shows me JFK went back

Zapruder and his secretary I believe. AZ said the shots came from behind
him and his secretary did not give any statement. Of the three men on the
steps only one Emmet Hudson gave a statement and it's unclear as to where
the shots came from. There's also the statements of White House staffers
Kenny O'Donnell and Dave Powers who gave testimony to the FBI that shots
came from the GK area but were discouraged from saying so according to Tip

"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have

something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of

Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the

This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area. There were witnesses who smelled
gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming from the GK area. BTW, when I say
GK area this includes the area just east of the triple underpass so it's
not confined to just where the pagoda and it's immediate area is. There
were also witnesses standing on the north side of Elm St, immediately
across the street from the GK and riding on cars ahead and just behind the
presidents limousine who heard shots from the GK area. Jean Hill, Jean
Newman, William Newman, A. J. Millican, Faye and John Chism, Charles Brehm

friends, SS agents Paul Landis and Forrest Sorrels.

I see that James Files is included in the implausible category. OK, can't
argue one way or the other. Arnold has corroborating evidence from Senator
Yardborough's observation he saw a man hit the dirt as Arnold describes.
There's also the acoustic evidence scientifically arrived at by an
acoustic expert and presented to the HSCA and corroborated by Skennazy
(sp?) and his expert assistant which confirms there was a second shooter
behind the picket fence to a 95% probability. That's witness evidence
backed up by expert scientific evidence. I know it's going to be brought
up that evidence has been debunked by Dale Myers, whom I respect a lot but
he's not an expert on the field so I'll go with the expert evidence.

and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses

There is an obvious forward motion between certain frames in the film,
which occurs quite a few frames before the "back and to the left" motion,
the latter of which is far too "large" and which takes up far too many
frames to be caused by the bullet alone. And yes, several witnesses
described a shooter in the TSBD, although they had some considerable
difficulty with which floor the shooter was on, and even worse difficulty
with his appearance and clothing.

of gunfire in her interview with Josiah Thompson, of all people, who was
an avowed conspiracy theorist. Even to him, she absolutely ***REFUSED***
to admit hearing more than two shots, and much more to the point: she said
that neither shot sounded any louder or closer to her than the other.
Even more significantly, she was standing *much* *higher* than the top of
the picket fence. There is no possible way a grassy knoll shooter would
not be helplessly visible to her, unless that shooter was in a location
very different from the locations proposed by the vast majority of
conspiracy theorists, She was quite adamant that the only loud sound she
heard from anywhere even remotely close to her was the dropping of a soda
bottle, and that the sound was not even remotely similar to gunfire, not
was it even remotely similar to the two *real* sounds of gunfire that she
remembered hearing, both of which she described as sounding as if they
were equally-distant from her.

AZ said the shots came from behind
him
PLEASE QUOTE ABRAHAM ZAPRUDER AS SAYING THAT EXACT THING, VERBATIM, IN HIS
OWN WORDS, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ***SOURCE*** OF THAT CLAIM. Here is
Zapruder's ***ONLY*** filmed interview given on the day of the
assassination, complete and unabridged:



I do not hear him speaking the exact English word "behind" at any point.
If I'm "wrong" (which I already know I'm not, given that I've watched and
listened to this interview dozens of times) please name the exact number
of minutes and seconds into the video in which he *specifically* says that
he thought even one of the shots came from "behind" him, or please admit,
in the very next article you post (as I have done many times since 2002 in
this newsgroup, including when I *wasn't* asked to do so, but instead when
I caught one of my errors *before* Barb or Paul or .John or anyone else
pointed them out to me) that you don't actually know for sure whether or
not he actually said that.

Thanks.

Oh, but it gets worse (or better, depending on one's point of view): to
the WC he did indeed say, sort of, that he thought the shots (as in ALL of
them) came from behind him, but let's all join virtual hands and look at
the context of that:

**********

Mr. LIEBELER - All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked
down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the
head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - From the direction behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, actually--I couldn't say what I thought at the moment,
where they came from--after the impact of the tragedy was really what I
saw and I started and I said--yelling, "They've killed him"--I assumed
that they came from there, because as the police started running back of
me, it looked like it came from the back of me.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you didn't form any opinion at that time as to what
direction the shots did come from actually?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No.
Mr. LIEBELER - And you indicated that they could have come also from
behind or from any other direction except perhaps from the left, because
they could have been from behind or even from the front.
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, it could have been--in other words if you have a
point--you could hit a point from any place, as far as that's concerned. I
have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you form any opinion about the direction from which the
shots came by the sound, or were you just upset by the thing you had seen?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, there was too much reverberation. There was an echo
which gave me a sound all over. In other words that square is kind of--it
had a sound all over.
Mr. LIEBELER - And with the buildings around there, too?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, the reverberation was such that a sound--as it would
vibrate--it didn't vibrate so much but as to whether it was a backfire--in
other words, I didn't from the first sound, from him leaning over--I
couldn't think it was a shot, but of course, the second--I think it was
the second shot. I don't know whether they proved anything--they claim he
was hit--that the first bullet went through him and hit Connally or
something like that--I don't know how that is.

**********

Plain as day, the ***BLINDINGLY*** ***OBVIOUS*** reasons that Zapruder
***MISTAKENLY*** thought the shots came from behind him were these two
reasons, no others:

1. The right side of JFK's head, the side of his head facing Zapruder and
his camera exploded open. This of course betrays Zapruder's ***EXTREME***
***IGNORANCE*** of gunshot facts, that, with rare exceptions, the
***EXIT*** damage is typically much larger, and much more visible than the
***ENTRANCE***, and:

2. He saw police officers running up the grassy knoll; they, like dozens
of other witnesses, thought that the sounds of ***ALL*** of the shots
sounded as if they came from the GK.

Ah, but look at what ***ELSE*** he said:

"I have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going."

And:

*********

Mr. LIEBELER - Did you form any opinion about the direction from which the
shots came by the sound, or were you just upset by the thing you had seen?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, there was too much reverberation. There was an echo
which gave me a sound all over. In other words that square is kind of--it
had a sound all over.

and his secretary did not give any statement.
Huh??? Explain what this is then, his ***SECRETARY***, Marilyn Sitzman,
giving THIS interview to Josiah Thompson:

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/sitzman.txt

I have been reading this newsgroup since 2000 and posting to it since
2002, and I cannot recall even one conspiracy theorist claiming that
Marilyn Sitzman wasn't Zapruder's "secretary" or some position at least
remotely similar.

I do realize you said that you were new to this; however, I am guessing
that you "studied" this aspect of the assassination for less than 10
minutes of your entire life before you typed, "and his secretary did not
give any statement." In the future, please be absolutely certain that any
statement of yours given as fact is indeed a fact; don't make the same
mistake I made when I started posting here in October, 2002. You should
have said something like this:

"As far as I have yet found out (in no more than 10 minutes of my entire
life searching for it), his secretary did not give any statement, but I
freely admit that I may be mistaken about this, since I studied Zapruder's
co-workers for less than 10 minutes of my entire life."

See how easy that is? If you're not 100% certain it's a fact, don't state
it as fact, state it instead as a guess. ***ALWAYS*** say "as far as I
know" or "if I recall correctly," which the moderators of this newsgroup
can independently confirm is these days almost always the way I myself do
it, with extremely rare exceptions.

Of the three men on the
steps only one Emmet Hudson gave a statement and it's unclear as to where
the shots came from.
Oh dear. You know the name, Emmet Hudson, yet you claim that "it's
unclear as to where the shots came from"?

I have another suggestion for you"

***BEFORE*** you ever again, ever, post another article to this newsgroup,
I would suggest that you read an absolute minimum of TEN complete,
unabridged, WC testimonies, all the way from the first word of the first
sentence, to the last word of the last sentence, without skipping even one
word in between. To the WC the very man you're talking about said this:

**********

Mr. LIEBELER - While you were standing there, did you ever look toward the
railroad tracks there where they went across the triple underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir; while I was laying there I didn't - I was looking down
towards Elm Street.
Mr. LIEBELER - So, you never looked up towards the railroad tracks that went
across the underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you are quite sure in your own mind that the shots came
from the rear of the President's car and above it; is that correct?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any idea that they might have come from the
Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. HUDSON - Well, it sounded like it was high, you know, from above and
kind of behind like - in other words, to the left.
Mr. LIEBELER - And that would have fit in with the Texas School Book
Depository, wouldn't it?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.

**********

If you look at the *multiple* films of where he was standing, the TSBD was very obviously to his left. In addition, look especially at the Muchmore and Nix films. Plain as day he is standing beside two men, one of whom (as far as I know never identified) was wearing a very bright red sweater. Watch all three men closely. Not one of them, not one, ever whirls around and looks behind him, as if he suddenly heard a loud *bang* from directly behind him, as the vast majority of humans would *involuntarily* do in such a circumstance. And look especially at the man in the bright red sweater. When the limo passes in front of him, he is clearly seen to throw up his hands in horror and then start to run *up* the steps, but even then, the *entire* time he is in view, even as he is starting to run up the steps, he is still very *obviously* looking back behind him at the limo; at no point is he seen looking the *other* direction, toward this imaginary grassy knoll gunman who has "supposedly" fired a shot from almost the exact direction he turns toward.

Could it be (dare I suggest it?) that the reason we never see him, ever, looking *up* the hill is because he didn't hear any loud sound from that direction? Almost as if no shot was fired from there?

As Clark Wilkins, one of the few CTs whose arguments I took seriously, would say:

"Just a thought."

Oh, and Clark Wilkins said many times that he believed that Oswald was the ONLY HUMAN who fired shots at the motorcade that day, even though he also said that at least one other person conspired with Oswald to commit the assassination. He additionally said that he would eventually reveal who that other person was, but he suddenly vanished from this newsgroup, permanently, before he did so, unless he has posted here since then under a completely different name and email address.

According to you, it couldn't have even MAYBE been the FBI, since, again, according to you, both O'Donnell and Powers told the FBI that they thought the sounds of the shots came from the GK area. If the FBI "discouraged" them from saying that, strange then that the FBI *reported* them saying that.

Who knows how many witness statements were changed to conform
with Hoovers.
Indeed. As Donald Willis, an avowed CT who has been posting here on a regular basis since at least 1997 will unhesitatingly confirm (if he is even remotely honest, that is) he himself has seen me post many replies to him in which I have soundly criticized the FBI reports of that time for almost *never* quoting the witness's exact words verbatim, but instead, almost always, merely paraphrasing what the witness supposedly said.

Oh, and as a superb example of this, let us *do* examine, yet again, the FBI's *extreme* duplicity, in the form of Agent Richard Burnett, in which Mr. Burnett wrote down a "statement by" Marrion Baker ***BEFORE*** Baker saw it, which includes the proven myth that Baker "wrote" the words "drinking a coke" and then crossed those words out. Nonsense. Burnett wrote those words without Baker's prior knowledge or consent, then after the fact presented "Baker's statement" to Baker, at which time, as soon as he saw those words, immediately crossed them out and initialed them, since he had never once, not even once, spoken or written in his *own* words that Oswald was holding any type of object, no matter what the object was, in either of his hands, when he saw Oswald in the second-floor lunchroom. Then, let us all (especially you CTs) join virtual hands and look at the FBI statement "by" Roy Truly dated the same day, and look at how it is blindingly obvious (it is totally unnecessary to be anything even remotely similar to a "handwriting expert") that both the "Baker" and "Truly" statements were handwritten by the same person, and that person was quite obviously neither Baker nor Truly.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Lee Bowers said he saw a lot of commotion in that area prior to the
"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have
described were, there was a flash of light or, as far as I am concerned,
something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of
the ordinary had occurred there."
That's awfully vague. It doesn't even come remotely close to positively identifying Bowers as a person who *saw* a *gunman* *firing* from anywhere near that location. "A flash of light *or* smoke *or* something"? Notice carefully that nowhere there did he say "and," he instead said "or." Never, ever, ever did he claim that all three things occurred. Instead he plainly said that only ONE of those three things occurred, one of them, ***OR*** another of them, ***OR*** another of them.

And duh, something out of the ordinary did indeed occur in that same direction: JFK was fatally wounded by a shot which caused the right front part of his head to explode open. The place where his head exploded open is not necessarily the place where the gunman fired from, unless you were to claim that the gunman was standing in front of the limo in plain view in the middle lane of Elm and fired from there, then dodged out of the way, since if he hadn't, the limo would have run over him.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the
car and drive off. The cop followed him but lost him. I believe he gave a
statement to the DPD but nothing came of this. I may be a little fuzzy
about the details but this is the general gist of the account. I saw his
account on a You Tube video of the mock trial with Vincent Bugliosi.
Did you also catch the bit where his daughter said she remembered none of this?

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area.
And nearly all of those very witnesses said they thought ALL of the shots sounded as if they came from the GK area. Not all but one shot. Not one shot out of the others. ALL the shots.

99% of all conspiracy theorists worldwide say only one, or only some of the shots were fired from the GK. I'm not sure I've yet seen a single one of them say that "all" of the shots were fired from there. Do you not realize what this means? The CTs' OWN PREFERRED WITNESSES dispute almost all of the CTs worldwide. The same witnesses the CTs most often cite to "prove" a shot from the grassy knoll are also the same ones, with very few exceptions, who *additionally* said that they thought that only one gunman fired every shot from the GK. Of course the reason for this is blindingly obvious: the CTs are irrationally committed to multiple gunmen; this is the obvious reason why they almost never, ever, ever admit that nearly everyone who thought even one shot came from the GK *also* thought that *all* the shots came from the GK, and that not even one shot, not even one, came from anywhere else.

I'd love to see just someone, just anyone, try to explain how John Connally's wounds resulted from a shot from the GK. Thousands of people have falsely claimed he wasn't in the correct position to be hit by a bullet exiting from JFK's throat, but the problem becomes far worse, by several orders of magnitude, when trying to line up his wounds with any location, no matter what that location is, on the GK.

Talk about a "magic bullet." The bullet which wounded the Governor would be tremendously more implausible coming from the GK than coming from the TSBD. The number of turns it would have to make in midair would far exceed the number of turns that is falsely claimed in the movie "JFK."

In other words, Connally being hit by a bullet fired from the grassy knoll would involve a bullet that has tremendously greater "magic" to it.

Yet the vast majority of the CTs' preferred witnesses said that ***ALL*** of the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy knoll. The one and only way the CTs can dispute this is to *also* dispute the credibility of the majority of the Dealey Plaza witnesses they themselves have cited.

Oh dear, and it gets even worse: Connally himself said that the first and third shots plainly sounded as if they came from behind him and to his right, i.e. from the general direction of the TSBD. He additionally said that he didn't hear the second shot but felt it hit him in the back. Given his position at the time I am "writhing with curiosity" to have it explained how a shot fired from the GK could enter his back and exit his chest.

And oh double-dear: according to nearly all the witnesses, every single shot was fired either from the TSBD, or from the "railroad yards" (almost none of them said "grassy knoll") or the Triple Underpass. Not from all three locations. From only one of those three locations.

According to nearly every witness.

Sam "Skinny" Holland was one of the tiny, tiny handful of witnesses who said otherwise. And do look at his filmed interview where he says, plain as day, *why* he thought one shot came from the GK.

(Free clue: the *primary* reason he thought one shot came from the GK had nothing at all to do with the *sound* of that shot; it instead had to do with something he thought he saw, and no, he didn't say he saw a gunman firing from there.)

There were witnesses who smelled
gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming from the GK area.
Yep. Have you ever read how Oliver Stone, when filming "JFK," was helplessly unable to find any rifle ever made which emitted enough smoke to be seen on camera, and had to sink to the level of having bellows pumping smoke beside the rifles at the time of filming? Did you also notice that several of the witnesses you are obviously talking about very specifically said that they thought they saw motorcycle exhaust or steam, neither of which had any direct connection to any type of firearm ever invented?

A. J. Millican,
Wow, you've certainly misrepresented him. He is one of the tiny, tiny, tiny minority of witnesses who thought the shots sounded as if they came from multiple directions. In his own words, quoted verbatim:

"Just after the President's car passed, I heard three shots come from up toward Houston and Elm right by the Book Depository Building, and then immediately I heard two more shots from the Arcade between the Book Store and the Underpass, and then three more shots came from the same direction only sounded further back."

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/millican.htm

I am quite curious as to why you, ah, "conveniently omitted" that, just for starters, Millican claimed there were eight shots total, from three different locations. That is something even the majority of conspiracy theorists do not subscribe to. Eight shots? So he heard five shots that almost no one else heard? My, my, he must have had the hearing capacity of a dog, rather than a human.

Yarborough said the man was much closer to the street than Gordon Arnold claimed he was, and Yarborough was almost certainly talking about Bill Newman, the most well-known and visible man who "hit the dirt," for the obvious purpose of covering his child (his wife did the same thing and covered their other child).

There's also the acoustic evidence scientifically arrived at by an
acoustic expert and presented to the HSCA and corroborated by Skennazy
(sp?) and his expert assistant which confirms there was a second shooter
behind the picket fence to a 95% probability. That's witness evidence
backed up by expert scientific evidence. I know it's going to be brought
up that evidence has been debunked by Dale Myers, whom I respect a lot but
he's not an expert on the field so I'll go with the expert evidence.
Oh boy, your research is really limited here, more than anything you've said above. That acoustic "evidence" has been debunked by a far larger number of people than Dale Myers, and the majority of people who have debunked it are real acoustics experts. You have also "conveniently omitted" that the HSCA didn't even bother to try to get a second opinion from any other *real* acoustics experts, but instead mindlessly accepted the first analysis they were given, without bothering to check the credibility of those who gave them that analysis. Almost within days of the HSCA releasing its final report, several *other* groups of very real acoustics experts examined the same audio recording, and soundly disputed the original findings.

Dale Myers didn't come along until about two decades later.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
First Thank you for your response. Film evidence shows me JFK went back
and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses
described seeing a shooter or a rifle protruding from there.
There is an obvious forward motion between certain frames in the film,
which occurs quite a few frames before the "back and to the left" motion,
the latter of which is far too "large" and which takes up far too many
frames to be caused by the bullet alone. And yes, several witnesses
described a shooter in the TSBD, although they had some considerable
difficulty with which floor the shooter was on, and even worse difficulty
with his appearance and clothing.

Marina testified LHO confessed to her that he shot General Walker. He
listened to the radio that night but nothing on the news about it. The
next morning a report said the shot missed and the General was still alive
after a near miss. LHO was angry and disappointed he missed.
Plus the photo evidence found at the Paines house showing backyard photos
of General Walkers house taken with the same camera used by MO of LHO
posing with a rifle, handgun and leftist periodicals.
i do not remember that it was ever proven that the camera which took the
backyard photos was the same camera that took photos of Walker's house,

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
There's also witness evidence of people around the GK area who heard shots
from that area.
That is an extremely misleading way of saying that. A far more accurate
"Nearly all of the witnesses who thought any shot sounded as if it came
from the GK thought that *all* of the shots came from the GK."

I do not hear him speaking the exact English word "behind" at any point.
If I'm "wrong" (which I already know I'm not, given that I've watched and
listened to this interview dozens of times) please name the exact number
of minutes and seconds into the video in which he *specifically* says that
he thought even one of the shots came from "behind" him, or please admit,
in the very next article you post (as I have done many times since 2002 in
this newsgroup, including when I *wasn't* asked to do so, but instead when
I caught one of my errors *before* Barb or Paul or .John or anyone else
pointed them out to me) that you don't actually know for sure whether or
not he actually said that.
Thanks.
Oh, but it gets worse (or better, depending on one's point of view): to
the WC he did indeed say, sort of, that he thought the shots (as in ALL of
them) came from behind him, but let's all join virtual hands and look at
**********
Mr. LIEBELER - All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked
down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the
head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - From the direction behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, actually--I couldn't say what I thought at the moment,
where they came from--after the impact of the tragedy was really what I
saw and I started and I said--yelling, "They've killed him"--I assumed
that they came from there, because as the police started running back of
me, it looked like it came from the back of me.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you didn't form any opinion at that time as to what
direction the shots did come from actually?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No.
Mr. LIEBELER - And you indicated that they could have come also from
behind or from any other direction except perhaps from the left, because
they could have been from behind or even from the front.
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, it could have been--in other words if you have a
point--you could hit a point from any place, as far as that's concerned. I
have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you form any opinion about the direction from which the
shots came by the sound, or were you just upset by the thing you had seen?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, there was too much reverberation. There was an echo
which gave me a sound all over. In other words that square is kind of--it
had a sound all over.
Mr. LIEBELER - And with the buildings around there, too?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, the reverberation was such that a sound--as it would
vibrate--it didn't vibrate so much but as to whether it was a backfire--in
other words, I didn't from the first sound, from him leaning over--I
couldn't think it was a shot, but of course, the second--I think it was
the second shot. I don't know whether they proved anything--they claim he
was hit--that the first bullet went through him and hit Connally or
something like that--I don't know how that is.
**********
Plain as day, the ***BLINDINGLY*** ***OBVIOUS*** reasons that Zapruder
***MISTAKENLY*** thought the shots came from behind him were these two
1. The right side of JFK's head, the side of his head facing Zapruder and
his camera exploded open. This of course betrays Zapruder's ***EXTREME***
***IGNORANCE*** of gunshot facts, that, with rare exceptions, the
***EXIT*** damage is typically much larger, and much more visible than the
2. He saw police officers running up the grassy knoll; they, like dozens
of other witnesses, thought that the sounds of ***ALL*** of the shots
sounded as if they came from the GK.
"I have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going."

I have been reading this newsgroup since 2000 and posting to it since

Marilyn Sitzman wasn't Zapruder's "secretary" or some position at least
remotely similar.
I do realize you said that you were new to this; however, I am guessing
that you "studied" this aspect of the assassination for less than 10
minutes of your entire life before you typed, "and his secretary did not

statement of yours given as fact is indeed a fact; don't make the same
mistake I made when I started posting here in October, 2002. You should

life searching for it), his secretary did not give any statement, but I

See how easy that is? If you're not 100% certain it's a fact, don't state
it as fact, state it instead as a guess. ***ALWAYS*** say "as far as I

**********
Mr. LIEBELER - While you were standing there, did you ever look toward the
railroad tracks there where they went across the triple underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir; while I was laying there I didn't - I was looking down
towards Elm Street.
Mr. LIEBELER - So, you never looked up towards the railroad tracks that went
across the underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you are quite sure in your own mind that the shots came
from the rear of the President's car and above it; is that correct?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any idea that they might have come from the
Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. HUDSON - Well, it sounded like it was high, you know, from above and
kind of behind like - in other words, to the left.
Mr. LIEBELER - And that would have fit in with the Texas School Book
Depository, wouldn't it?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.

If you look at the *multiple* films of where he was standing, the
TSBD was very obviously to his left. In addition, look especially at
the Muchmore and Nix films. Plain as day he is standing beside two

bright red sweater. Watch all three men closely. Not one of them, not
one, ever whirls

No.

directly behind him, as the vast majority of humans would *involuntarily*
do in such a circumstance. And look especially at the man in the bright
red sweater. When the limo passes in front of him, he is clearly seen to
throw up his hands in horror and then start to run *up* the steps, but
even then, the *entire* time he is in view, even as he is starting to run
up the steps, he is still very *obviously* looking back behind him at the
limo; at no point is he seen looking the *other* direction, toward this
imaginary grassy knoll gunman who has "supposedly" fired a shot from
almost the exact direction he turns toward.

Yeah, so what? Maybe he thought he was in the line of fire.
Post by Caeruleo
Could it be (dare I suggest it?) that the reason we never see him, ever, looking *up* the hill is because he didn't hear any loud sound from that direction? Almost as if no shot was fired from there?
Oh, you mean the guy who runs up the hill. How come he doesn't run to
the TSBD? The only guy who ran to the TSBD was Baker. 1 out of 1,000?

Oh, and Clark Wilkins said many times that he believed that Oswald was the ONLY HUMAN who fired shots at the motorcade that day, even though he also said that at least one other person conspired with Oswald to commit the assassination.

And they were "discouraged," by whom, exactly? According to you, it couldn't have even MAYBE been the FBI, since, again, according to you, both O'Donnell and Powers told the FBI that they thought the sounds of the shots came from the GK area. If the FBI "discouraged" them from saying that, strange then that the FBI *reported* them saying that.
Tip O'Neill approved the HSCA investigation based largely on hearing about
the grassy knoll shot from someone who was actually there. Unlike the WC

Then, let us all (especially you CTs) join virtual hands and look at the

blindingly obvious (it is totally unnecessary to be anything even
remotely similar to a "handwriting expert") that both the "Baker" and
"Truly" statements were handwritten by the same person, and that person
was quite obviously neither Baker nor Truly.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Lee Bowers said he saw a lot of commotion in that area prior to the
"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have
described were, there was a flash of light or, as far as I am concerned,
something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of
the ordinary had occurred there."
That's awfully vague. It doesn't even come remotely close to positively identifying Bowers as a person who *saw* a *gunman* *firing* from anywhere near that location. "A flash of light *or* smoke *or* something"? Notice carefully that nowhere there did he say "and," he instead said "or." Never, ever, ever did he claim that all three things occurred. Instead he plainly said that only ONE of those three things occurred, one of them, ***OR*** another of them, ***OR*** another of them.
You're not trying hard enough, Mr. Cover-up. I've suggested that it
could be sunlight glinting off the chrome topping. You can see that in

And duh, something out of the ordinary did indeed occur in that same direction: JFK was fatally wounded by a shot which caused the right front part of his head to explode open. The place where his head exploded open is not necessarily the place where the gunman fired from, unless you were to claim that the gunman was standing in front of the limo in plain view in the middle lane of Elm and fired from there, then dodged out of the way, since if he hadn't, the limo would have run over him.
Well, some kooks claim that the gun was fired from inside the limo.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the
car and drive off. The cop followed him but lost him. I believe he gave a
statement to the DPD but nothing came of this. I may be a little fuzzy
about the details but this is the general gist of the account. I saw his
account on a You Tube video of the mock trial with Vincent Bugliosi.

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area.
And nearly all of those very witnesses said they thought ALL of the shots sounded as if they came from the GK area. Not all but one shot. Not one shot out of the others. ALL the shots.
No, silly. Stop making up crap. Read Six Seconds in Dallas.

99% of all conspiracy theorists worldwide say only one, or only some of the shots were fired from the GK. I'm not sure

I've yet seen a single one of them say that "all" of the shots were

OK, I've challenged all the kooks here and elsewhere in person. So I'll

thought that only one gunman fired every shot from the GK. Of course
the reason for this is blindingly obvious: the CTs are irrationally
committed to multiple gunmen; this is the obvious reason why they almost
never, ever, ever admit that nearly everyone who thought even one shot
came from the GK *also* thought that *all* the shots came from the GK,

How do you explain JFK's throat wound as an entrace if all the shots
came from the TSBD? Well, the CIA said JFK turned around to look back.
Never underestimate the stupidity of a cover-up.

Thousands of people have falsely claimed he wasn't in the correct

is, on the GK.

Talk about a "magic bullet." The bullet which wounded the Governor would be tremendously more implausible coming from the GK than coming from the TSBD. The number of turns it would have to make in midair would far exceed the number of turns that is falsely claimed in the movie "JFK."

Yet the vast majority of the CTs' preferred witnesses said that ***ALL*** of the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy knoll. The one and only way the CTs can dispute this is to *also* dispute the credibility of the majority of the Dealey Plaza witnesses they themselves have cited.
No.

Oh dear, and it gets even worse: Connally himself said that the first and third shots plainly sounded as if they came from behind him and to his right, i.e. from the general direction of the TSBD. He additionally said that he didn't hear the second shot but felt it hit him in the back. Given his position at the time I am "writhing with curiosity" to have it explained how a shot fired from the GK could enter his back and exit his chest.
And oh double-dear: according to nearly all the witnesses, every single shot was fired either from the TSBD, or from the "railroad yards" (almost none of them said "grassy knoll") or the Triple Underpass. Not from all three locations. From only one of those three locations.
Got news for ya. Science proves that 3 shot came from the sniper's nest.
And one and only 1 came from the grassy knoll.

According to nearly every witness.
Sam "Skinny" Holland was one of the tiny, tiny handful of witnesses who said otherwise. And do look at his filmed interview where he says, plain as day, *why* he thought one shot came from the GK.
(Free clue: the *primary* reason he thought one shot came from the GK had nothing at all to do with the *sound* of that shot; it instead had to do with something he thought he saw, and no, he didn't say he saw a gunman firing from there.)

There were witnesses who smelled
gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming from the GK area.
Yep. Have you ever read how Oliver Stone, when filming "JFK," was helplessly unable to find any rifle ever made which emitted enough smoke to be seen on camera, and had to sink to the level of having bellows pumping smoke beside the rifles at the time of filming? Did you also notice that several of the witnesses you are obviously talking about very specifically said that they thought they saw motorcycle exhaust or steam, neither of which had any direct connection to any type of firearm ever invented?
Childish. Lots of rifles emit smoke. Even a Carcano.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
First Thank you for your response. Film evidence shows me JFK went back
and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses
described seeing a shooter or a rifle protruding from there.
There is an obvious forward motion between certain frames in the film,
which occurs quite a few frames before the "back and to the left" motion,
the latter of which is far too "large" and which takes up far too many
frames to be caused by the bullet alone. And yes, several witnesses
described a shooter in the TSBD, although they had some considerable
difficulty with which floor the shooter was on, and even worse difficulty
with his appearance and clothing.

Marina testified LHO confessed to her that he shot General Walker. He
listened to the radio that night but nothing on the news about it. The
next morning a report said the shot missed and the General was still alive
after a near miss. LHO was angry and disappointed he missed.
Plus the photo evidence found at the Paines house showing backyard photos
of General Walkers house taken with the same camera used by MO of LHO
posing with a rifle, handgun and leftist periodicals.
i do not remember that it was ever proven that the camera which took the
backyard photos was the same camera that took photos of Walker's house,

Yes, I jumped to a conclusion before verifying for facts. Mea culpa.
Interesting though if it wasn't the IRC then from which camera where the

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
There's also witness evidence of people around the GK area who heard shots
from that area.
That is an extremely misleading way of saying that. A far more accurate
"Nearly all of the witnesses who thought any shot sounded as if it came
from the GK thought that *all* of the shots came from the GK."
Post by El Tiante
The two who you include as standing on the pedestal are
Zapruder and his secretary I believe.
Marylin Sitzman was her name. Do look at what she said about the sounds
of gunfire in her interview with Josiah Thompson, of all people, who was
an avowed conspiracy theorist. Even to him, she absolutely ***REFUSED***
to admit hearing more than two shots, and much more to the point: she said
that neither shot sounded any louder or closer to her than the other.
Even more significantly, she was standing *much* *higher* than the top of
the picket fence. There is no possible way a grassy knoll shooter would
not be helplessly visible to her, unless that shooter was in a location
very different from the locations proposed by the vast majority of
conspiracy theorists, She was quite adamant that the only loud sound she
heard from anywhere even remotely close to her was the dropping of a soda
bottle, and that the sound was not even remotely similar to gunfire, not
was it even remotely similar to the two *real* sounds of gunfire that she
remembered hearing, both of which she described as sounding as if they
were equally-distant from her.
Yes, I just recently viewed a video of her giving an interview and she
said the only way a shot could have come from behind her was if the gunman
had used a silencer.

Thanks.
I don't base my claim on the you tube interview but on the testimony given
to the WC
Post by Caeruleo
Oh, but it gets worse (or better, depending on one's point of view): to
the WC he did indeed say, sort of, that he thought the shots (as in ALL of
them) came from behind him, but let's all join virtual hands and look at
**********
Mr. LIEBELER - All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked
down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the
head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - From the direction behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, actually--I couldn't say what I thought at the moment,
where they came from--after the impact of the tragedy was really what I
saw and I started and I said--yelling, "They've killed him"--I assumed
that they came from there, because as the police started running back of
me, it looked like it came from the back of me.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you didn't form any opinion at that time as to what
direction the shots did come from actually?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No.
Mr. LIEBELER - And you indicated that they could have come also from
behind or from any other direction except perhaps from the left, because
they could have been from behind or even from the front.
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, it could have been--in other words if you have a
point--you could hit a point from any place, as far as that's concerned. I
have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you form any opinion about the direction from which the
shots came by the sound, or were you just upset by the thing you had seen?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, there was too much reverberation. There was an echo
which gave me a sound all over. In other words that square is kind of--it
had a sound all over.
Mr. LIEBELER - And with the buildings around there, too?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes, the reverberation was such that a sound--as it would
vibrate--it didn't vibrate so much but as to whether it was a backfire--in
other words, I didn't from the first sound, from him leaning over--I
couldn't think it was a shot, but of course, the second--I think it was
the second shot. I don't know whether they proved anything--they claim he
was hit--that the first bullet went through him and hit Connally or
something like that--I don't know how that is.
**********
Plain as day, the ***BLINDINGLY*** ***OBVIOUS*** reasons that Zapruder
***MISTAKENLY*** thought the shots came from behind him were these two
1. The right side of JFK's head, the side of his head facing Zapruder and
his camera exploded open. This of course betrays Zapruder's ***EXTREME***
***IGNORANCE*** of gunshot facts, that, with rare exceptions, the
***EXIT*** damage is typically much larger, and much more visible than the
2. He saw police officers running up the grassy knoll; they, like dozens
of other witnesses, thought that the sounds of ***ALL*** of the shots
sounded as if they came from the GK.
"I have no way of determining what direction the bullet was going."

Admittedly Zapruder does give confusing statements which can be
interpreted as you have or as I do. Here's Zapruder's part of his
testimony which you left out. It's included so that more context can be
drawn from his statements:

Mr. LIEBELER - You didn't hear any shot after you saw him hit?

Mr. ZAPRUDER - I heard the second--after the first shot--I saw him leaning
over and after the second shot--it's possible after what I saw, you know,
then I started yelling, "They killed him, they killed him," and I just
felt that somebody had ganged up on him and I was still shooting the
pictures until he got under the underpass--I don't even know how I did it.
And then, I didn't even remember how I got down from that abutment there,
but there I was, I guess, and I was walking toward--back toward my office
and screaming, "They killed him, they killed him," and the people that I
met on the way didn't even know what happened and they kept yelling, "What
happened, what happened, what happened?" It seemed that they had heard a
shot but they didn't know exactly what had happened as the car sped away,
and I kept on just yelling, "They killed him, they killed him, they killed
him," and finally got to my office and my secretary--I told her to call
the police or the Secret Service--I don't know what she was doing, and
that's about all. I was very much upset. Naturally, I couldn't imagine
such a thing being done. I just went to my desk and stopped there until
the police came and then we were required to get a place to develop the
films. I knew I had something, I figured it might be of some help--I
didn't know what.
As to what happened--I remember the police were running behind me. There
were police running right behind me. Of course, they didn't realize yet, I
guess, where the shot came from--that it came from that height.
Mr. LIEBELER - As you were standing on this abutment facing Elm street, you
say the police ran over behind the concrete structure behind you and down
the railroad track behind that, is that right?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - After the shots?
Mr. LIEBELER - Yes.
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes--after the shots--yes, some of them were motorcycle
cops--I guess they left their motorcycles running and they were running right
behind me, of course, in the line of the shooting. I guess they thought it
came from right behind me.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any impression as to the direction from which
these shots came?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, I also thought it came from back of me. Of course, you
can't tell when something is in line it could come from anywhere, but being
I was here and he was hit on this line and he was hit right in the head--I
saw it right around here, so it looked like it came from here and it could
come from there.

"There were police running right behind me. Of course, they didn't realize
yet, I guess, where the shot came from--that it came from that
height."....."Yes--after the shots--yes, some of them were motorcycle
cops--I guess they left their motorcycles running and they were running
right behind me, of course, in the line of the shooting. I guess they
thought it came from right behind me."...."
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any impression as to the
direction from which these shots came?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, I also thought it came from back of me....."

What Mr. Zapruder says can be explained as giving confusing testimony in
which he says the shots came from behind him but when pressed to make a
definite commitment to his account he backs off.

Huh??? Explain what this is then, his ***SECRETARY***, Marilyn Sitzman,

I have been reading this newsgroup since 2000 and posting to it since
2002, and I cannot recall even one conspiracy theorist claiming that
Marilyn Sitzman wasn't Zapruder's "secretary" or some position at least
remotely similar.
I do realize you said that you were new to this; however, I am guessing
that you "studied" this aspect of the assassination for less than 10
minutes of your entire life before you typed, "and his secretary did not
give any statement." In the future, please be absolutely certain that any
statement of yours given as fact is indeed a fact; don't make the same
mistake I made when I started posting here in October, 2002. You should
"As far as I have yet found out (in no more than 10 minutes of my entire
life searching for it), his secretary did not give any statement, but I
freely admit that I may be mistaken about this, since I studied Zapruder's
co-workers for less than 10 minutes of my entire life."
See how easy that is? If you're not 100% certain it's a fact, don't state
it as fact, state it instead as a guess. ***ALWAYS*** say "as far as I
know" or "if I recall correctly," which the moderators of this newsgroup

Mr. LIEBELER - While you were standing there, did you ever look toward the
railroad tracks there where they went across the triple underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir; while I was laying there I didn't - I was looking down
towards Elm Street.
Mr. LIEBELER - So, you never looked up towards the railroad tracks that went
across the underpass?
Mr. HUDSON - No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you are quite sure in your own mind that the shots came
from the rear of the President's car and above it; is that correct?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any idea that they might have come from the
Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. HUDSON - Well, it sounded like it was high, you know, from above and
kind of behind like - in other words, to the left.
Mr. LIEBELER - And that would have fit in with the Texas School Book
Depository, wouldn't it?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.

Here's Hudson's statement of 22 Nov 1963:

"VOLUNTARY STATEMENT. Not Under Arrest Form No. 86
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
COUNTY OF DALLAS, TEXAS
Before me, the undersigned authority, on this the 22nd day of November A.D. 1963 personally appeared Emmett Joseph Hudson, Address 107 South Bishop, Dallas, Texas Age 56 , Phone No. WH 2-2008
Deposes and says:
I am presently employed by the City of Dallas, Texas in the Park Department. I have been so employed for the past 6 years. My position is to take care of the property on the West side of Houston Street between Houston Street and the Tripple [sic] Underpass. I also take care of the fountain in front of the Union Terminal. This day a was sitting on the front steps of the sloping area and about half way down the steps. There was another man sitting there with me. He was sitting on my left and we were both facing the street with our backs to the railroad yards and the brick building. At the same time the President's car was directly in front of us, I heard a shot and I saw the President fall over in the seat. I do not know who this other man was that was sitting beside me. In our conversation he talked about having a hard time finding a place to park. He also talked about working somewhere over on Industrial Blvd. This man said Lay down and we did. I definately [sic] heard 3 shots. The shots that I heard definately [sic] came from behind and above me. When I laid down on the ground I laid on my right side and my view was still toward the street where the President's car had passed. I did look around but I did not see any firearms at all. This shot sounded to me like a high powered rifle.

Notary Public, Dallas County, Texas"

"The shots that I heard definately [sic] came from behind and above me."
Nothing about coming from the direction of the TSBD.
Post by Caeruleo
If you look at the *multiple* films of where he was standing, the TSBD was very obviously to his left. In addition, look especially at the Muchmore and Nix films. Plain as day he is standing beside two men, one of whom (as far as I know never identified) was wearing a very bright red sweater. Watch all three men closely. Not one of them, not one, ever whirls around and looks behind him, as if he suddenly heard a loud *bang* from directly behind him, as the vast majority of humans would *involuntarily* do in such a circumstance. And look especially at the man in the bright red sweater. When the limo passes in front of him, he is clearly seen to throw up his hands in horror and then start to run *up* the steps, but even then, the *entire* time he is in view, even as he is starting to run up the steps, he is still very *obviously* looking back behind him at the limo; at no point is he seen looking the *other* direction, toward this imaginary grassy knoll gunman who has "supposedly" fired a shot from almost the exact direction he turns toward.
Could it be (dare I suggest it?) that the reason we never see him, ever, looking *up* the hill is because he didn't hear any loud sound from that direction? Almost as if no shot was fired from there?
"Just a thought."
Yes, food for thought.

Oh, and Clark Wilkins said many times that he believed that Oswald was the ONLY HUMAN who fired shots at the motorcade that day, even though he also said that at least one other person conspired with Oswald to commit the assassination.

Kenny O'Donnell and Dave Powers who gave testimony to the FBI that shots

Um, UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN (see, everyone, how I admit that yet again even when I'm not challenged?) didn't they say that they thought ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the GK area?

O'Neill.
Oh, Tip O'Neill would even have any possible way of knowing such a thing? How do you know that this wasn't an unconfirmed rumor that O'Neill was passing around? And they were "discouraged," by whom, exactly? According to you, it couldn't have even MAYBE been the FBI, since, again, according to you, both O'Donnell and Powers told the FBI that they thought the sounds of the shots came from the GK area. If the FBI "discouraged" them from saying that, strange then that the FBI *reported* them saying that.
If that's what happened.
From the horses mouth:

"I was never one of those people who had doubts or suspicions about the Warren Commission’s report on the president’s death. But five years after Jack died, I was having dinner with Kenny O’Donnell and a few other people at Jimmy’s Harborside Restaurant in Boston, and we got to talking about the assassination.
I was surprised to hear O’Donnell say that he was sure he had heard two shots that came from behind the fence.
“That’s not what you told the Warren Commission,” I said.
“You’re right, ” he replied. “I told the FBI what I had heard, but they said it couldn’t have happened that way and that I must have been imagining things. So I testified the way they wanted me to. I just didn’t want to stir up any more pain and trouble for the family.”
“I can’t believe it,” I said. ”I wouldn’t have done that in a million years. I would have told them the truth.”
“Tip, you have to understand. The family — everybody wanted this thing behind them.”
Dave Powers was with us at dinner that night, and his recollection of the shots was the same as O’Donnell’s. Kenny O’Donnell is no longer alive, but during the writing of this book I checked with Dave Powers. As they say in the news business, he stands by his story.

Who knows how many witness statements were changed to conform
with Hoovers.
Indeed. As Donald Willis, an avowed CT who has been posting here on a regular basis since at least 1997 will unhesitatingly confirm (if he is even remotely honest, that is) he himself has seen me post many replies to him in which I have soundly criticized the FBI reports of that time for almost *never* quoting the witness's exact words verbatim, but instead, almost always, merely paraphrasing what the witness supposedly said.
Oh, and as a superb example of this, let us *do* examine, yet again, the FBI's *extreme* duplicity, in the form of Agent Richard Burnett, in which Mr. Burnett wrote down a "statement by" Marrion Baker ***BEFORE*** Baker saw it, which includes the proven myth that Baker "wrote" the words "drinking a coke" and then crossed those words out. Nonsense. Burnett wrote those words without Baker's prior knowledge or consent, then after the fact presented "Baker's statement" to Baker, at which time, as soon as he saw those words, immediately crossed them out and initialed them, since he had never once, not even once, spoken or written in his *own* words that Oswald was holding any type of object, no matter what the object was, in either of his hands, when he saw Oswald in the second-floor lunchroom. Then, let us all (especially you CTs) join virtual hands and look at the FBI statement "by" Roy Truly dated the same day, and look at how it is blindingly obvious (it is totally unnecessary to be anything even remotely similar to a "handwriting expert") that both the "Baker" and "Truly" statements were handwritten by the same person, and that person was quite obviously neither Baker nor Truly.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Lee Bowers said he saw a lot of commotion in that area prior to the
"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have
described were, there was a flash of light or, as far as I am concerned,
something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of
the ordinary had occurred there."
That's awfully vague. It doesn't even come remotely close to positively identifying Bowers as a person who *saw* a *gunman* *firing* from anywhere near that location. "A flash of light *or* smoke *or* something"? Notice carefully that nowhere there did he say "and," he instead said "or." Never, ever, ever did he claim that all three things occurred. Instead he plainly said that only ONE of those three things occurred, one of them, ***OR*** another of them, ***OR*** another of them.
And duh, something out of the ordinary did indeed occur in that same direction: JFK was fatally wounded by a shot which caused the right front part of his head to explode open. The place where his head exploded open is not necessarily the place where the gunman fired from, unless you were to claim that the gunman was standing in front of the limo in plain view in the middle lane of Elm and fired from there, then dodged out of the way, since if he hadn't, the limo would have run over him.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the
car and drive off. The cop followed him but lost him. I believe he gave a
statement to the DPD but nothing came of this. I may be a little fuzzy
about the details but this is the general gist of the account. I saw his
account on a You Tube video of the mock trial with Vincent Bugliosi.
Did you also catch the bit where his daughter said she remembered none of this?

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area.
And nearly all of those very witnesses said they thought ALL of the shots sounded as if they came from the GK area. Not all but one shot. Not one shot out of the others. ALL the shots.
99% of all conspiracy theorists worldwide say only one, or only some of the shots were fired from the GK. I'm not sure I've yet seen a single one of them say that "all" of the shots were fired from there. Do you not realize what this means? The CTs' OWN PREFERRED WITNESSES dispute almost all of the CTs worldwide. The same witnesses the CTs most often cite to "prove" a shot from the grassy knoll are also the same ones, with very few exceptions, who *additionally* said that they thought that only one gunman fired every shot from the GK. Of course the reason for this is blindingly obvious: the CTs are irrationally committed to multiple gunmen; this is the obvious reason why they almost never, ever, ever admit that nearly everyone who thought even one shot came from the GK *also* thought that *all* the shots came from the GK, and that not even one shot, not even one, came from anywhere else.
I'd love to see just someone, just anyone, try to explain how John Connally's wounds resulted from a shot from the GK. Thousands of people have falsely claimed he wasn't in the correct position to be hit by a bullet exiting from JFK's throat, but the problem becomes far worse, by several orders of magnitude, when trying to line up his wounds with any location, no matter what that location is, on the GK.
Talk about a "magic bullet." The bullet which wounded the Governor would be tremendously more implausible coming from the GK than coming from the TSBD. The number of turns it would have to make in midair would far exceed the number of turns that is falsely claimed in the movie "JFK."
In other words, Connally being hit by a bullet fired from the grassy knoll would involve a bullet that has tremendously greater "magic" to it.
Yet the vast majority of the CTs' preferred witnesses said that ***ALL*** of the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy knoll. The one and only way the CTs can dispute this is to *also* dispute the credibility of the majority of the Dealey Plaza witnesses they themselves have cited.
Oh dear, and it gets even worse: Connally himself said that the first and third shots plainly sounded as if they came from behind him and to his right, i.e. from the general direction of the TSBD. He additionally said that he didn't hear the second shot but felt it hit him in the back. Given his position at the time I am "writhing with curiosity" to have it explained how a shot fired from the GK could enter his back and exit his chest.
And oh double-dear: according to nearly all the witnesses, every single shot was fired either from the TSBD, or from the "railroad yards" (almost none of them said "grassy knoll") or the Triple Underpass. Not from all three locations. From only one of those three locations.
According to nearly every witness.
Sam "Skinny" Holland was one of the tiny, tiny handful of witnesses who said otherwise. And do look at his filmed interview where he says, plain as day, *why* he thought one shot came from the GK.
(Free clue: the *primary* reason he thought one shot came from the GK had nothing at all to do with the *sound* of that shot; it instead had to do with something he thought he saw, and no, he didn't say he saw a gunman firing from there.)
Post by El Tiante
There were witnesses who smelled
gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming from the GK area.
Yep. Have you ever read how Oliver Stone, when filming "JFK," was helplessly unable to find any rifle ever made which emitted enough smoke to be seen on camera, and had to sink to the level of having bellows pumping smoke beside the rifles at the time of filming? Did you also notice that several of the witnesses you are obviously talking about very specifically said that they thought they saw motorcycle exhaust or steam, neither of which had any direct connection to any type of firearm ever invented?

GK area this includes the area just east of the triple underpass so it's

In the midst of typing this sentence, I am looking directly at him saying that he thought that all the gunfire, all of it, came from behind him and to his right, i.e. the general direction of the TSBD. Why you are placing him in the "GK area" group of witnesses I can't imagine. Shall I quote him verbatim saying so, or will you?
From SA Landis report:

"It was at this moment that I heard a second report and it appeared that the President's head split open with a muffled exploding sound. I can best describe the sound as I heard it, as the sound you would get by shooting a high powered bullet into a five gallon can of water or shooting into a melon. I saw pieces of flesh and blood flying through the air and the President slumped out of sight towards Mrs. Kennedy.

The time lapse between the first and second report must have been about four or five seconds.

My immediate thought was that the President could not possibly be alive after being hit like he was. I still was not certain from which direction the second shot came, but my reaction at this time was that the shot came from somewhere towards the front, right-hand side of the road."

Read the last sentence and then tell me from where Landis heard THE shot. here's a witness who heard a shot from behind him and the front, from BOTH directions.

and Forrest Sorrels.
You are interpreting him saying, "the noise from the shots sounded like they may have come back up on the terrace there" as being the "GK area"? That's a bit of a stretch. And did you notice what *else* he said to clarify that?
Nothing that would make it clear he didn't mean the terrace area until he was asked leading questions.

"Mr. STERN - Now, as to the apparent source of these reports, did you feel that all three reports came from the same direction?
Mr. SORRELS - Yes. Definitely so.
Mr. STERN - And that direction, as nearly as you can place it, was what?
Mr. SORRELS - To the right and back. That is about the only way I can express it.
And, as I said, the noise from the shots sounded like they may have come back up on the terrace there. And that is the reason I was looking around like that when the first shot. And I continued to look out until the other two shots. And then I turned on around and looked back to where the President's car was, and that is when I saw some movement there, and the car just seemed to leap forward.
Mr. STERN - When you looked at the terrace to the right of Elm Street, did you observe any unusual movement?
Mr. SORRELS - No; I didn't see anything unusual at that time.
Mr. STERN - Were you looking at that terrace when either the second or third shot was fired?
Mr. SORRELS - Yes; I was. And I saw just some movement of some people, but no firearms or anything like that, because we began to move out rather rapidly. And we were quite a ways down the street at that time.
Mr. STERN - How do you mean movement of people?
Mr. SORRELS - It seems I recall someone turned around and was going in the other direction, like moving away from the street. And that is all I can recall.
Mr. STERN - But you didn't observe anything that led you to feel that the shots might have been fired from that terrace there?
Mr. SORRELS - No, sir.
Mr. STERN - It sounded to you at first as though it came from there?
Mr. SORRELS - That is the way it sounded--back into the rear and to the right, back up in that direction. And in the direction, of course, of the building.
But the reports seemed to be so loud, that it sounded like to me in other words, that was my first thought, somebody up on the terrace, and that is the reason I looked there.
As we were approaching the overpass there, Mr. Lawson remarked that there was an officer on the overpass there. I saw a police officer standing there with two or three other persons over to his right."

The terrace and the building. Does he mean two different descriptions of the same area or descriptions of two different places, the terrace and the building (TSBD)?

I see that James Files is included in the implausible category. OK, can't
argue one way or the other. Arnold has corroborating evidence from Senator
Yardborough's observation he saw a man hit the dirt as Arnold describes.
Yarborough said the man was much closer to the street than Gordon Arnold claimed he was, and Yarborough was almost certainly talking about Bill Newman, the most well-known and visible man who "hit the dirt," for the obvious purpose of covering his child (his wife did the same thing and covered their other child).

There's also the acoustic evidence scientifically arrived at by an
acoustic expert and presented to the HSCA and corroborated by Skennazy
(sp?) and his expert assistant which confirms there was a second shooter
behind the picket fence to a 95% probability. That's witness evidence
backed up by expert scientific evidence. I know it's going to be brought
up that evidence has been debunked by Dale Myers, whom I respect a lot but
he's not an expert on the field so I'll go with the expert evidence.
Oh boy, your research is really limited here, more than anything you've said above. That acoustic "evidence" has been debunked by a far larger number of people than Dale Myers, and the majority of people who have debunked it are real acoustics experts. You have also "conveniently omitted" that the HSCA didn't even bother to try to get a second opinion from any other *real* acoustics experts, but instead mindlessly accepted the first analysis they were given, without bothering to check the credibility of those who gave them that analysis. Almost within days of the HSCA releasing its final report, several *other* groups of very real acoustics experts examined the same audio recording, and soundly disputed the original findings.
Dale Myers didn't come along until about two decades later.
The acoustic evidence has NOT been debunked. See Hear No Evil by Donald Byron Thomas.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
First Thank you for your response. Film evidence shows me JFK went back
and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses
described seeing a shooter or a rifle protruding from there.
See the Muchmore film. Jackie was close to him holding his arm after the
back-to-throat second shot. If he was hit from the GK at a 45º angle
it would have shoved him into Jackie and he would have ended up behind her
on the far side of the backseat. That did not happen. He bounced off the
back cushion forward and collapsed in her lap.

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
There's also witness evidence of people around the GK area who heard shots
from that area. The two who you include as standing on the pedestal are
Zapruder and his secretary I believe. AZ said the shots came from behind
him and his secretary did not give any statement.
Yes she did to author Josiah Thompson in a lengthy interview and he
considered her a good witness.
Post by El Tiante
Of the three men on the steps only one Emmet Hudson gave a statement
and it's unclear as to where the shots came from.
Hudson was groundskeeper and knew the plaza better than anyone. He
indicated the shots came from the direction of the TSBD. Another witness
on the steps was F Lee Mudd from Louisiana. He did not hear any shots
from close by. The third witness was a well dressed man, a companion to a
lady with a baby. She was nearby and is probably the figure called Black
Dog Man as she held her baby on the wall. This couple is seen in photos
in the same area after the shooting. They did not give a statement to
police.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Lee Bowers said he saw a lot of commotion in that area prior to the
"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have
described were, there was a flash of light or, as far as I am concerned,
something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of
the ordinary had occurred there."
Yes that is a bone he threw to Mark Lane in an interview. Police charged
up the hill and checked out all the witnesses in the area. Nobody with a
weapon was found.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the
car and drive off. The cop followed him but lost him. I believe he gave a
statement to the DPD but nothing came of this. I may be a little fuzzy
about the details but this is the general gist of the account. I saw his
account on a You Tube video of the mock trial with Vincent Bugliosi.
Three DPD motorcycle officers raced to the knoll then dismounted and ran
up to the top and checked behind the fence. DPD Officer Foster was on top
of the Triple Underpass watching the parade. He saw no one with a weapon.
DPD Smith raced down the Elm Street extension lane to the parking lot.
He found no one with a weapon or a police car.

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area.
Yes they did but no witness at the top of the GK saw or heard a shot from
up there.

There were witnesses who smelled gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming

All witnesses who smelled gunpowder were on the street or in the parade.
DPD Brown on the Stemmons overpass west of Dealey Plaza smelled gunpowder

BTW, when I say
GK area this includes the area just east of the triple underpass so it's
not confined to just where the pagoda and it's immediate area is. There
were also witnesses standing on the north side of Elm St, immediately
across the street from the GK and riding on cars ahead and just behind the
presidents limousine who heard shots from the GK area. Jean Hill, Jean
Newman, William Newman, A. J. Millican, Faye and John Chism, Charles Brehm
as quoted in the DTH the evening of the 22nd, Mary Woodward and her three
friends, SS agents Paul Landis and Forrest Sorrels.
The large curved concrete Pergola no doubt reflected echoes of shots from

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
Could be him. If true then it's evidence there was a conspiracy. There goes the
no gunman in the GK area theory.
His story is he fired one shot from the GK and two shots were fired by his
partner in the Dal-Tex Building. No witness reported any shots from that
building.

Another story by a person named Gordon Arnold who claims he was filming
the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers
demanded his camera and took the film out and pitched the camera back to
him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.
Many problems with these dubious stories. The parking lot was a box
canyon situation with only one way in or out. Police and people watching
the parade converged on the Grassy Knoll from all directions. None of
them mention a Police Car in that area or leaving by the Elm Street
extension lane. DPD Officer Smith claims to be the first policeman behind
the Pergola. No mention of any police car with 2 officers inside. He did
see two men, one a Deputy Sheriff and another he thought was a Secret
Service Agent. Neither one had a rifle or mentioned a police car.
Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
I see that James Files is included in the implausible category. OK, can't
argue one way or the other. Arnold has corroborating evidence from Senator
Yardborough's observation he saw a man hit the dirt as Arnold describes.
Several Witnesses dove to the ground including Bill Newman and a guy
across the street. Unlikely Sen Yarborough could see GArnold behind the
wall where he claimed to be. GA said he hit the ground on the first shot.
Sen Yarborough said all three shots he heard came to from his right side,
not the GK.

shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
The President did not go back and to the left. Jackie was sitting close
to him holding his arm. Had he gone "back and to the left" he would have
slammed into her. That did not happen. Another film from a different
perspective shows he went straight back into the seat cushion and bounced
off then fell into Jackie's lap. The confusion is he was leaning toward
Jackie at the time the shot knocked him backward into the seat cushion.
First Thank you for your response. Film evidence shows me JFK went back
and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses
described seeing a shooter or a rifle protruding from there.
See the Muchmore film. Jackie was close to him holding his arm after the
back-to-throat second shot. If he was hit from the GK at a 45º angle
it would have shoved him into Jackie and he would have ended up behind her
on the far side of the backseat. That did not happen. He bounced off the
back cushion forward and collapsed in her lap.
The story of bodies not being pushed by bullets is mostly true.
That's from a well respected forensic pathologist, Vincent DiMaio. And
the one shot that hit JFK from behind was in the upper back, and was a
dud. Details with cites and links on request.

There is no evidence of a shot from the Grassy Knoll. There were 8
witnesses on the knoll: 3 on the steps, 1 on the patio, 2 standing on a
pedestal in front of the Pergola and 2 more sitting on a bench on the lawn
in front of the Pergola. None of those witnesses report a shot from up
there. A tall lady standing on the pedestal could see over the wooden
fence. She neither heard a shot from back there nor saw anyone with a
rifle in back of the fence. The man on the park bench was sure he heard
shots from the TSBD, so he found a Deputy Sheriff and sent him to the
building. That Deputy was there when they found the rifle. The grounds
keeper for Dealey Plaza was on the steps at the time of the shooting. He
thought shots came from the direction of the TSBD building.
There's also witness evidence of people around the GK area who heard shots
from that area. The two who you include as standing on the pedestal are
Zapruder and his secretary I believe. AZ said the shots came from behind
him and his secretary did not give any statement.
Yes she did to author Josiah Thompson in a lengthy interview and he
considered her a good witness.

Of the three men on the steps only one Emmet Hudson gave a statement
and it's unclear as to where the shots came from.
Hudson was groundskeeper and knew the plaza better than anyone. He
indicated the shots came from the direction of the TSBD. Another witness
on the steps was F Lee Mudd from Louisiana. He did not hear any shots
from close by. The third witness was a well dressed man, a companion to a
lady with a baby. She was nearby and is probably the figure called Black
Dog Man as she held her baby on the wall. This couple is seen in photos
in the same area after the shooting. They did not give a statement to
police.
Witnesses heard shots from the GK or the TSBD and the walls around the
area would cause echoes. There were shots from both places, GK and TSBD,
as well as other places.

Railroad employee Lee Bowers was sitting in a tower overlooking the
parking lot facing south testified under oath no person was behind the
fence at the time of the shooting. RR employees standing on top of the
Triple Underpass immediately ran down into the parking lot to see if
anyone was back there with a rifle. They found no one in the area.
Lee Bowers said he saw a lot of commotion in that area prior to the
"At the time of the shooting, in the vicinity of where the two men I have
described were, there was a flash of light or, as far as I am concerned,
something I could not identify, but there was something which occurred
which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment. Now, what
this was, I could not state at that time and at this time I could not
identify it, other than there was some unusual occurrence - a flash of
light or smoke or something which caused me to feel like something out of
the ordinary had occurred there."
Yes that is a bone he threw to Mark Lane in an interview. Police charged
up the hill and checked out all the witnesses in the area. Nobody with a
weapon was found.
By that time they had gotten into a car and scrammed. Of course. And
Lee Bowers was afraid for himself and his family and so he did not tell
his whole to the WC. But after his death a few months later in a accident
where he went off the road and hit a concrete abutment, his friend Walter
Rischel told a reporter that Bowers had seen much more from his RR tower.
That Bowers had seen men firing rifles at the motorcade from behind the
fence, got into a car and got away. Later, a highway patrolman told an
interviewer that 3 people friends of Bowers) had been told by Bowers that
he had lied to the WC.

DPD Officer Smith ran down the access lane to the parking lot from his
position at the intersection of Houston and Elm. He checked the bushes
around the Pergola and then the parking lot. No one with a rifle was
found in the area. Three other DPD motorcycle officers pulled over and
ran up the Grassy Knoll and searched the area. They found no person with
a rifle in the area. So police and RR employees converged on the parking
lot from 3 directions and found nothing.
Yet there's the account of a DPD cop who was driving with his daughter on
Main St. I believe who saw a man get into a car, place an object in the
car and drive off. The cop followed him but lost him. I believe he gave a
statement to the DPD but nothing came of this. I may be a little fuzzy
about the details but this is the general gist of the account. I saw his
account on a You Tube video of the mock trial with Vincent Bugliosi.
Three DPD motorcycle officers raced to the knoll then dismounted and ran
up to the top and checked behind the fence. DPD Officer Foster was on top
of the Triple Underpass watching the parade. He saw no one with a weapon.

A number of witnesses on the street thought shots came from the Triple
Underpass or the Grassy Knoll. There was a DPD Officer on top of the RR
Trestle over the Triple Underpass and one below on the lawn. No shots
fired from that area. No witness on top of the Grassy Knoll heard any
shots from up there. More than likely sound waves created by shots from
the LHO rifle on the 6th floor bounced off the curved concrete Pergola
which reflected the echo back toward the crowds on the street.
This is just speculation as many witnesses standing in front of the TSBD
heard shots coming from the GK area.
Yes they did but no witness at the top of the GK saw or heard a shot from
up there.
Claviger decided not to mention Gordon Arnold, who was there and felt
the shots go over his shoulder and he hit the dirt. Claviger will say
that he wanted to be famous or some other reason that he lied. Here's his
story:

There were witnesses who smelled gunpowder and saw puff of smoke coming
from the GK area.
All witnesses who smelled gunpowder were on the street or in the parade.
DPD Brown on the Stemmons overpass west of Dealey Plaza smelled gunpowder
as the motorcade passed by.
At that time a number of people on the overpass saw smoke issue from
under a tree in front of the fence. Some went down to the area to look
around. A man named Sam Holland went there and he says he found a place
where someone was standing around in the mud (it had rained that morning)
and also saw muddy footprints on the bumper of a car near the fence and
cigarette butts on the ground.

BTW, when I say
GK area this includes the area just east of the triple underpass so it's
not confined to just where the pagoda and it's immediate area is. There
were also witnesses standing on the north side of Elm St, immediately
across the street from the GK and riding on cars ahead and just behind the
presidents limousine who heard shots from the GK area. Jean Hill, Jean
Newman, William Newman, A. J. Millican, Faye and John Chism, Charles Brehm
as quoted in the DTH the evening of the 22nd, Mary Woodward and her three
friends, SS agents Paul Landis and Forrest Sorrels.
The large curved concrete Pergola no doubt reflected echoes of shots from
the 6th floor window.

There is a confession by a Chicago hitman James Files that he was the man
on the Grassy Knoll who shot the President with a .221 Remington Fireball
XP-100 using a mercury tipped bullet. There are several articles and
photos on the internet about this confession.
Could be him. If true then it's evidence there was a conspiracy. There goes the
no gunman in the GK area theory.
His story is he fired one shot from the GK and two shots were fired by his
partner in the Dal-Tex Building. No witness reported any shots from that
building.
There was supposedly a woman (Ruth Ann Martinez) that used a
walkie-talkie to signal all to fire together at the right time. She was
supposedly in the TSBD on the 6th floor.

Another story by a person named Gordon Arnold who claims he was filming
the parade while standing on top of the Grassy Knoll. Several shots were
fired from behind him causing him to hit the dirt. Then the snipers
demanded his camera and took the film out and pitched the camera back to
him. They then jumped in a car and drove away. Three friends of Lee
Bowers tell a similar story.
Many problems with these dubious stories. The parking lot was a box
canyon situation with only one way in or out. Police and people watching
the parade converged on the Grassy Knoll from all directions. None of
them mention a Police Car in that area or leaving by the Elm Street
extension lane. DPD Officer Smith claims to be the first policeman behind
the Pergola. No mention of any police car with 2 officers inside. He did
see two men, one a Deputy Sheriff and another he thought was a Secret
Service Agent. Neither one had a rifle or mentioned a police car.
Gordon Arnold claimed to be wearing a summer US Army uniform that day.
None of the numerous witnesses who ran to the area mention seeing a guy in
Army clothes. Tragic events like this attract strange people who imagine
they were somehow involved. Gordon Arnold is one of those witnesses.
His story is totally implausible.
I see that James Files is included in the implausible category. OK, can't
argue one way or the other. Arnold has corroborating evidence from Senator
Yardborough's observation he saw a man hit the dirt as Arnold describes.
Several Witnesses dove to the ground including Bill Newman and a guy
across the street. Unlikely Sen Yarborough could see GArnold behind the
wall where he claimed to be. GA said he hit the ground on the first shot.
Sen Yarborough said all three shots he heard came to from his right side,
not the GK.
Yarborough was able to see the area where Gordon Arnold was at. He
was NOT completely behind any wall, it was a partial wall only.
Yarborough was in the 3rd vehicle in the motorcade, and not that far
behind. He could see over to the GK ahead.

There's also the acoustic evidence scientifically arrived at by an
acoustic expert and presented to the HSCA and corroborated by Skennazy
(sp?) and his expert assistant which confirms there was a second shooter
behind the picket fence to a 95% probability. That's witness evidence
backed up by expert scientific evidence. I know it's going to be brought
up that evidence has been debunked by Dale Myers, whom I respect a lot but
he's not an expert on the field so I'll go with the expert evidence.
There are problems with the acoustic evidence including a bell ringing
heard on the tape. No bell in Dealey Plaza. Several members on the HSCA
rejected that evidence and other scientists found fault with that theory.
The acoustic study isn't necessary to determine there were men behind
the fence shooting at the motorcade.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the

and to the left although he did go forward before frame 313 apparently as
a result from a head shot to the rear from the TSBD as several witnesses
described seeing a shooter or a rifle protruding from there.
See the Muchmore film. Jackie was close to him holding his arm after the
back-to-throat second shot. If he was hit from the GK at a 45º angle
it would have shoved him into Jackie and he would have ended up behind her
on the far side of the backseat. That did not happen. He bounced off the
back cushion forward and collapsed in her lap.
The story of bodies not being pushed by bullets is mostly true.
That's from a well respected forensic pathologist, Vincent DiMaio. And
the one shot that hit JFK from behind was in the upper back, and was a
dud. Details with cites and links on request.
Wrong. Vince is a liar.
Pot, meet kettle.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
Let me guess. You just watched Oliver Stone's movie JFK for the first time
and thought it was a factual account of the assassination. Hint: It
wasn't.

For starters JFK did not go back and to the left. When the shot hit his
head was driven forward several inches. We know this by comparing the
frame in which his head explode to the previous frame. His secondary
motion wasn't back and to the left like the movie described. JFK was
leaning left at the time of the impact so when he lurched backward
following the initial forward movement, it created the illusion he went
back and to the left. If you look closely at where JFK is when his back
hits the seatback of the limo you will see he is still in the right hand
corner. He has not moved left at all.

The direction shooting victims fall is not predicated on which direction
the bullet is travelling. The way one determines the direction of a gun
shot is to examine the wounds in the body and determine which are entrance
wounds and which are exit wounds. Each has unique characteristics. EVERY
medical examiner who has looked at the photos and x-rays from the autopsy
has concluded without a doubt that JFK was struck twice from behind, once
it the back and once in the back of the head. Not a single dissenting
opinion on that. It's is only amateur sleuths who think they know more
than people whose lives are devoted to the practice of forensic medicine
who think the medical evidence shows something other than what has been
concluded by every qualified person who has reviewed the medical
evidence.

Lastly, if a bullet fired from the GK had actually struck JFK in the right
side of his head, the blowout would have been on the left side of the
head, not the upper right side. Although the entire skull was fractured,
there were no wounds of any kind on the left side of JFK's head and the
left hemisphere of his brain was largely intact.

Since the Z-film was proven to have been altered, many LNs can't
reconcile the fact that it can't be used to determine much of anything at
the time around the frame 313 where the most alteration occurred.

The foolishness shown in the previous sentences points up the failure
to recognize that the medical 'experts' were misled from the beginning.
They had NO opportunity to see inside the body at the autopsy, as the
autopsy team did, and they had NO opportunity to interview the men working
in the Bethesda morgue. If they had been allowed to do that, they would
have come to different conclusions than what they read in the Autopsy
Report (AR). Among the tricks worked on the medical panels, were drawings
by Ida Dox that were exact copies of photos from the autopsy that had been
altered. One even had a bullet hole drawn on the back of the head of JFK,
but the original photo it came from had no such wound. This is the kind
of thing that was used to manipulate the findings of the panels. It was

another foolish guess. If the head is in the right position, a bullet
can enter the right forehead and travel to the BOH and blow it out as
happened in this case. Choosing the GK as the location just helps make it
more foolish, since the angles don't work from that point for the bullet
hole in the right forehead/temple area.

The direction shooting victims fall is not predicated on which direction
the bullet is travelling. The way one determines the direction of a gun
shot is to examine the wounds in the body and determine which are entrance
wounds and which are exit wounds. Each has unique characteristics.

EVERY
medical examiner who has looked at the photos and x-rays from the autopsy
has concluded without a doubt that JFK was struck twice from behind, once
it the back and once in the back of the head. Not a single dissenting
opinion on that. It's is only amateur sleuths who think they know more
than people whose lives are devoted to the practice of forensic medicine
who think the medical evidence shows something other than what has been
concluded by every qualified person who has reviewed the medical
evidence.
The foolishness shown in the previous sentences points up the failure
to recognize that the medical 'experts' were misled from the beginning.
They had NO opportunity to see inside the body at the autopsy, as the
autopsy team did, and they had NO opportunity to interview the men working
in the Bethesda morgue. If they had been allowed to do that, they would
have come to different conclusions than what they read in the Autopsy
Report (AR). Among the tricks worked on the medical panels, were drawings
by Ida Dox that were exact copies of photos from the autopsy that had been
altered. One even had a bullet hole drawn on the back of the head of JFK,
but the original photo it came from had no such wound. This is the kind
of thing that was used to manipulate the findings of the panels. It was
for suckers.

Lastly, if a bullet fired from the GK had actually struck JFK in the right
side of his head, the blowout would have been on the left side of the
head, not the upper right side. Although the entire skull was fractured,
there were no wounds of any kind on the left side of JFK's head and the
left hemisphere of his brain was largely intact.
another foolish guess. If the head is in the right position, a bullet
can enter the right forehead and travel to the BOH and blow it out as
happened in this case. Choosing the GK as the location just helps make it
more foolish, since the angles don't work from that point for the bullet
hole in the right forehead/temple area.
It's always amusing when you share your alternative reality with the rest
of us. Conspiracyland must be a fascinating place to reside.
WRONG! I had a feeling you wouldn't understand and couldn't picture
the path. So you come up with a wise crack to cover up.
When you are able to diagram that bullet path, let us know. Until then we
can just laugh it off.
Any excuse to dismiss evidence. I guess you can't picture it, so you
have to get away from it somehow.
No, that's what YOU do. If you don't like the evidence, you call it fake.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
Let me guess. You just watched Oliver Stone's movie JFK for the first time
and thought it was a factual account of the assassination. Hint: It
wasn't.
For starters JFK did not go back and to the left. When the shot hit his
head was driven forward several inches. We know this by comparing the
frame in which his head explode to the previous frame. His secondary
motion wasn't back and to the left like the movie described. JFK was
leaning left at the time of the impact so when he lurched backward
following the initial forward movement, it created the illusion he went
back and to the left. If you look closely at where JFK is when his back
hits the seatback of the limo you will see he is still in the right hand
corner. He has not moved left at all.

Of course, what he doesn't tell you, is that they fed certain evidence
to the medical panels, and got rid of others. There are missing X-rays
and photos stated by both X-ray Technicians and photographers that took
the films and saw that they were gone from the resultant sets. The key
info in the autopsy was seen by looking into the body at the time when the
organs were removed, but those photos can't be there, since since the
panels would have concluded something different if they had been allowed

That is certainly a possibility. The skull X-rays show a path of fine
particles from the entry point on the right forehead to the rear where the
blowout occurred. But that path has also been pointed to as if it were
from a bullet that struck from the BOH. I believe the evidence does not
show ANY wound in the BOH. Here's an example of the kind of fakery that
was done on the medical panels. They were shown a drawing in at least one
instance, where you see the BOH without the blowout, and with a bullet
hole just to the right of a ruler. Supposedly the family didn't want
anyone to look at the real photos of the body, so they did drawings:

Loading Image...

The drawing is by Ida Dox, and was from the original photo. Se the
bullet hole? Now look at the photo that came from:

Loading Image...

Notice there is NO bullet hole, and there is only a faint red spot that
Humes was asked about and he said it was nothing and didn't matter. The
drawing as shown to the medical panels, so promptly concluded that the AR
was right, when it said bullets from above and behind hit the BOH.

here are many other shocking things, but I'll save them for whether
you're interested.

That is one theory, but it still might have some fragments which could

And the entrance could not be on the SIDE of the head. Given the
dustlike size of the fragments I think it was an explosive bullet.

Parkland hospital doctors and a nurse gave testimony the wound was to the

front and to the right. Maybe JFK's head was positioned slightly to his
right when hit and the direction of penetration was to his right temple as
seen in the original video account showing a guy in JFK's staff pointing

direction of the shot when hit.
Exactly. And it can often depend on which direction they were *already*
leaning or tilted at the instant the shot was fired, correct? And I've
seen multiple videos of people being shot in the head, and not once, not
even once, have I seen the person's head move *nearly* as far as JFK's
head does, *unless* the person's head was already tilted in that direction
to begin with. The movement I typically see in such videos is a very
short jerk in the direction the bullet was traveling, nothing at all like
the far larger, and longer-lasting, "back and to the left" motion of JFK's
head.

The way one determines the direction of a gun
shot is to examine the wounds in the body and determine which are entrance
wounds and which are exit wounds. Each has unique characteristics. EVERY
medical examiner who has looked at the photos and x-rays from the autopsy
has concluded without a doubt that JFK was struck twice from behind, once
it the back and once in the back of the head. Not a single dissenting
opinion on that. It's is only amateur sleuths who think they know more
than people whose lives are devoted to the practice of forensic medicine
who think the medical evidence shows something other than what has been
concluded by every qualified person who has reviewed the medical
evidence.
But can the photos be trusted? Wouldn't it have been better to have had a
real autopsy performed by qualified doctors in forensic pathology? Weren't
Humes, Boswell and Fink ordered not to discuss the examination? This
smells a little rotten.
Did it ever occur to you that the Kennedy family themselves didn't want
them to discuss the "examination," as you call it? Or are you going to
make the silly claim that one of the most powerful political families in
all United States history "could not even maybe" have had any influence on
that?

Also, it would have helped a great deal if JFK's
brain had been around for later examination.
While I won't claim it to be "proven" in any irrefutable sense, there is
at least some evidence to the effect that Robert Kennedy himself was
responsible for the brain "disappearing."

Lastly, if a bullet fired from the GK had actually struck JFK in the right
side of his head, the blowout would have been on the left side of the
head, not the upper right side. Although the entire skull was fractured,
there were no wounds of any kind on the left side of JFK's head and the
left hemisphere of his brain was largely intact.
Parkland hospital doctors and a nurse gave testimony the wound was to the
back of the head so the shot could and most probably did come from in
front and to the right.
That is so extremely wrong. The people at Parkland merely saw the
rearmost portion of the overall damage to his skull. Not one of them, not
one, peeled back his hair and scalp to expose the *complete* damage to his
skull.

Maybe JFK's head was positioned slightly to his
right when hit
He was leaning quite far to his *left* when hit in the head. Not only was
his torso tilted far to the left, his head was tilted to the left also.
This is quite obvious from multiple films and photographs.

and the direction of penetration was to his right temple as
seen in the original video account showing a guy in JFK's staff pointing
to his right temple.
So the bullet exited in the same direction from which it entered?

Jeez, talk about a "magic" bullet. It enters the right side of his head,
then turns around and blasts out of the right side of his head, causing
all that exit damage. What was the name of the bullet and the name of the
gun that did this?

You people almost never bother to mention that if the bullet entered the
right side of his head, the majority of the exit damage would have been on
the left side of his head. It should have been Jean Hill, Mary Moorman,
and others on the south side of Elm who would have seen the left side of
JFK's head explode *toward* them. Zapruder's camera would have thus
captured practically no damage to the right side of his head.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
Let me guess. You just watched Oliver Stone's movie JFK for the first time
and thought it was a factual account of the assassination. Hint: It
wasn't.
Nah. It's a highly entertaining fictionalized account of DA Jim Garrison
and his quest to find the real assassin. It's a Hollywood movie that had a
real impact though as it lead to the formation of the AARB, I believe
that's the story.
Yes, it sort of led to the formation of the AARB, although "JFK" alone did
not achieve that.

For starters JFK did not go back and to the left. When the shot hit his
head was driven forward several inches. We know this by comparing the
frame in which his head explode to the previous frame. His secondary
motion wasn't back and to the left like the movie described. JFK was
leaning left at the time of the impact so when he lurched backward
following the initial forward movement, it created the illusion he went
back and to the left. If you look closely at where JFK is when his back
hits the seatback of the limo you will see he is still in the right hand
corner. He has not moved left at all.
OK. I'll look again. Thanks for the tip.

Humes and Boswell were pathologists, but not very experienced. Humes
called in Finck, who was very experienced, including bullet wounds. All

which I've proven, but many here will argue with.

True as far as it goes. A shot could be fired and hit the right
forehead and go through the skull and blow out the BOH slightly on the
right side though, if the shooter were more forward of the limousine.
and there were a couple of positions that might fill that need. There is
no doubt that you can see a bullet hole in the right forehead/temple area
on JFK in the 'stare-of-death' photo. You just have to ENLARGE the photo
and look just under the hair hanging down. Here's the photo:

I'm sure you can find examples of a shooting victim falling away from the

completely away and found later. This gave the impression that the blowout
was confined to the back of the head. In reality that was just the rear
tip of a much bigger blowout. The two doctors who had the best look at the
head wound realized how massive it was an they were the ones who made the
call to declare JFK dead. They knew because of the massive blowout, there

If JFK was turned at all, it was slightly to his left. A GK shooter would
have had roughly the same look as Zapruder. He would have seen the side of
JFK's head. There is no way a shot from that angle would hit JFK on the
front right and exit the back right. Not unless you are a believer in
magic bullets.

he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
Let me guess. You just watched Oliver Stone's movie JFK for the first time
and thought it was a factual account of the assassination. Hint: It
wasn't.
Nah. It's a highly entertaining fictionalized account of DA Jim Garrison
and his quest to find the real assassin. It's a Hollywood movie that had a
real impact though as it lead to the formation of the AARB, I believe
that's the story.

For starters JFK did not go back and to the left. When the shot hit his
head was driven forward several inches. We know this by comparing the
frame in which his head explode to the previous frame. His secondary
motion wasn't back and to the left like the movie described. JFK was
leaning left at the time of the impact so when he lurched backward
following the initial forward movement, it created the illusion he went
back and to the left. If you look closely at where JFK is when his back
hits the seatback of the limo you will see he is still in the right hand
corner. He has not moved left at all.
OK. I'll look again. Thanks for the tip.

The direction shooting victims fall is not predicated on which direction
the bullet is travelling.
But it does not eliminate the possibility that motion follows the
principle of for every action there's an equall and opposite reaction.
Have you seen firing squads were the free standing target falls backward
when hit? I have. I've also seen films of Eintzzengruppen killing squads
firing into free standing and kneeling victims who fell in the opposite
direction of the shot when hit.
I'm sure you can find examples of a shooting victim falling away from the
shooter but there are also examples of a victim falling toward the
shooter, laterally to the shooter and in some they just drop straight
down. The point is the direction of the fall is not an indicator of the
direction of the shot. That's why forensic medicine is used to determine
that and that leaves no doubt that JFK was shot from behind. There is no
medical evidence of a shot from any other direction and I can guarantee
you that you won't find a qualified medical examiner who believes there
was. The medical evidence is cut and dried.
WRONG! The kill shot came from in front. A lot was done to fool
folks into thinking that the shot came from behind, and they had to do
that, because the 'patsy' was in the TSBD building above and behind the
target. It was critical that there be NO other shooter but Oswald, so
that the plotters could go on about their lives with no looking over their
shoulders. All through the case you will see that the 'lone nut' scenario
is protected. And the medical evidence is knocked into a cocked hat when
you see the bullet hole in the forehead/temple area of JFK. To see that,
look at the 'stare-of-death' photo and ENLARGE it and then look under the
hair hanging down and you will see the kill shot. If a rifle bullet went
in there, it would pass through the skull and BLOW OUT the BOH of JFK, and
over 39 witnesses saw a 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK.

The way one determines the direction of a gun
shot is to examine the wounds in the body and determine which are entrance
wounds and which are exit wounds. Each has unique characteristics. EVERY
medical examiner who has looked at the photos and x-rays from the autopsy
has concluded without a doubt that JFK was struck twice from behind, once
it the back and once in the back of the head. Not a single dissenting
opinion on that. It's is only amateur sleuths who think they know more
than people whose lives are devoted to the practice of forensic medicine
who think the medical evidence shows something other than what has been
concluded by every qualified person who has reviewed the medical
evidence.
But can the photos be trusted? Wouldn't it have been better to have had a
real autopsy performed by qualified doctors in forensic pathology? Weren't
Humes, Boswell and Fink ordered not to discuss the examination? This
smells a little rotten. Also, it would have helped a great deal if JFK's
brain had been around for later examination.
There is no doubt that the Autopsy Report (AR) was falsified. By
going through the autopsy statements of all the autopsy team, you find
that Humes at the end went home and wrote up an AR that was completely
different from what they ALL learned at the autopsy. Details with cites
and links on request.
Post by bigdog
Of course it would have been better to have an experience medical examiner
conduct the autopsy but that was a mistake made by someone in an extremely
stressful situation that we can't undo. We have to make the best of it and
still determine the truth.
It was the intention of the plotters to have the autopsy done at a
military hospital so that orders could be given that would be
followed...and that's what happened. That's why they took such chances
stealing the body from Parkland hospital and taking the limo too, and
flying them to Washington.
Post by bigdog
Fortunately despite the flaws in the autopsy
enough good evidence was gathered to convince several panels of some of
the top medical examiners in the country that JFK was shot twice from
behind. The photos and x-rays showed the review panels what the original
autopsy team saw. If you aren't willing to trust those materials, there
really isn't much to go on. You can do like some on this forum and make up
a story you would rather believe in lieu of any evidence, but if you want
to follow the evidence to a logical conclusion, the only conclusion is
that JFK was shot twice from behind.
WRONG! There are other conclusions, and they can be proved. Seeing
the bullet hole in the forehead of JFK tells much of the truth and gets
away from the phony LN stories they want you to believe. As well, se
statements of the various autopsy team members tell a different tale than
the AR, which was ordered to be followed by the prosectors.

Lastly, if a bullet fired from the GK had actually struck JFK in the right
side of his head, the blowout would have been on the left side of the
head, not the upper right side. Although the entire skull was fractured,
there were no wounds of any kind on the left side of JFK's head and the
left hemisphere of his brain was largely intact.
Parkland hospital doctors and a nurse gave testimony the wound was to the
back of the head so the shot could and most probably did come from in
front and to the right.
The wound was disguised because Jackie closed most of the flaps of skull
on the way to Parkland to try to keep his brains inside his head. What she
couldn't close was the hole left by the Harper fragment which was blown
completely away and found later. This gave the impression that the blowout
was confined to the back of the head. In reality that was just the rear
tip of a much bigger blowout. The two doctors who had the best look at the
head wound realized how massive it was an they were the ones who made the
call to declare JFK dead. They knew because of the massive blowout, there
was no chance for survival.
That is one of the phony stories the LNs will try to get you to
believe. But when the body was leaving Parkland hospital, a nurse Diana
Bowron and another nurse with her washed the head and body and washed the
hair of some of the blood. I know from personal experience that handling
a head with a skull broken in pieces is recognizable immediately. You can
feel all the parts of the skull moving in wrong directions. The nurse
noticed nothing untoward except the large hole in the BOH. You will find
that there was only one major wound at the BOH at Parkland hospital, and
when the body is described at Bethesda, it suddenly had a wound that went
from the BOH around the right side and some of the top of the head. I can
show when that happened, details on request. The main thing is that
Jackie didn't spend her time closing up flaps on JFK's skull.

Maybe JFK's head was positioned slightly to his
right when hit and the direction of penetration was to his right temple as
seen in the original video account showing a guy in JFK's staff pointing
to his right temple.
If JFK was turned at all, it was slightly to his left. A GK shooter would
have had roughly the same look as Zapruder. He would have seen the side of
JFK's head. There is no way a shot from that angle would hit JFK on the
front right and exit the back right. Not unless you are a believer in
magic bullets.
The shooter that got in the kill shot had t be located more to the
left than the GK.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton

Maybe you haven't been around to hear the WC defenders claim it was the

out that when there is a firing squad they have to tie the victim to a
post so that he doesn't go flying back at the shooters.

No, you can't have that. It might start WWIII.

To avoid that problem I came up with a solution for the WC defenders. That
JFK was shot in the forehead by a shot from behind. After all, the CIA had
the excuse that that throat wound in the neck happened when JFK turned his
head to look back. So my hoax is that on the last shot the bullet just
barely missed JFK's head and hit the chrome topping causing it to ricochet
and hit JFK in the forehead.

Not exactly. Kilduff was not a doctor and may have been going only on what
someone told him. But he naturally used his right hand to point his right
index finger at his forehead. He was off about an inch.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got

ordered to make the phony AR.

Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about

person who looks at the evidence objectively will have no doubts that
Oswald was the assassin. As the late Vince Bugliosi observed, anyone who
believes Oswald was innocent either isn't familiar with the evidence or is
just a very silly person. Which camp do you fall in?

is in the ARRB files and the testimony and statements of the men of
Bethesda Hospital who were on the autopsy team with the doctors who were
ordered to make the phony AR.
Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about
anything, let me know and I'll be glad to give my version of the truth,
most of which comes from cites and links from the files.
El Tiante, if fairy tales are what you are looking for, you can certainly
find plenty of them here. Chris is just one of several prolific sources of
those. If you are interested in the facts, there is only one set of those
and they clearly tell us Oswald was the assassin. There is zero credible
evidence that he had any accomplices.
And so the arguments begin. The small list of evidence that you will
see will not convince anyone that Oswald was in the 6th floor window and
was firing at the motorcade. Watch the list of evidence that will be
shown to you, and remember that NO MC rifle bullet ever hit or hurt
anyone, and I can prove it.
It won't convince a dedicated conspiracy hobbyist who will deny Oswald's
guilt no matter how much evidence is presented. However any sensible
person who looks at the evidence objectively will have no doubts that
Oswald was the assassin. As the late Vince Bugliosi observed, anyone who
believes Oswald was innocent either isn't familiar with the evidence or is
just a very silly person. Which camp do you fall in?
It's a typical lawyer's trick to offer only 2 possibilities, when in
reality many decisions have many possibilities, and this is one of those
times. I've given evidence that says Oswald isn't guilty, whether it's
enough for a court or not. I've given evidence that shows that the MC
bullets did not hit or hurt anyone. From you I've neither seen nor heard
a word of solid proof that ANY MC bullet hit or hurt anyone. Want to try
for the first time to do that? Or are you gong to try and rest on your
opinions?

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.

I can't make a firm opinion yet on what LHO is innocent off and guilty
off. I'm fairly certain that LHO was involved and think it's possible,
even probable he was shooting from the 6th floor sniper nest. I'm also 95%
certain there was another shooter in the GK area based on scientific
studies and witness evidence. I'm 95% sure his fleeing the TSBD and
getting a gun from his room and then getting caught at the movie theater
with a gun trying to resist arrest makes him guilty of being involved in
some way with the shooting on Elm St. and 85% sure LHO shot Tippit. BTW,
why should there be an either or camp?

Along with the book I recommended above, there is another I would
recommend, which is very interesting. It is a diary of a man that was
connected with the Mafia and the CIA and similar groups. He was
supposedly in a bar with Mac Wallace, who was a heavy boozer. While
drunk, Wallace gave this fellow the names of everyone involved that were
on shooting 'teams', and it was a long list. 24 in all. He also had
Oswald present, but not shooting.

If true, then Oswald saw the cop come into the TSBD and put a gun to
him until his boss said he was OK, and he figured out that someone was
going to find his rifle and blame him for the murder of JFK. He decided
to get out while he still could, and probably wanted to go to talk with
the person that got him involved in the first place. Then the Tippit
situation occurred. I believe like you that that situation is not yet
resolved, and there is more to learn there.

the GK, you will be the first person in 53 years to have done so. Good
luck.

There is no either/or. Oswald shot both JFK and JDT. That is what the

able to do that as well.

Of course, the evidence actually shows that Oswald didn't fire his MC
rifle, though he was partially involved (probably) in the shooting from
the TSBD. That rifle was not in any condition to be fired, particularly
rapidly. The MC rifle had a scope that was misaligned from a bad
mounting, and it also had a sticky bolt and a double pull trigger. It was
necessary to fire it out the window of the TSBD to implicate Oswald and
satisfy the forensics, but it wasn't necessary to hit the target. That
would be done by the many other shooters.

Watch carefully as the various LNs try to convince you that the WCR has
all the answers, and Oswald was a 'lone nut' that did the whole crime
himself alone.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to

it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As well, another area of interest is the autopsy, which was described
in an Autopsy Report (AR). That report was faked, and the proof for that
is in the ARRB files and the testimony and statements of the men of
Bethesda Hospital who were on the autopsy team with the doctors who were
ordered to make the phony AR.
Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about
anything, let me know and I'll be glad to give my version of the truth,
most of which comes from cites and links from the files.
El Tiante, if fairy tales are what you are looking for, you can certainly
find plenty of them here. Chris is just one of several prolific sources of
those. If you are interested in the facts, there is only one set of those
and they clearly tell us Oswald was the assassin. There is zero credible
evidence that he had any accomplices.
And so the arguments begin. The small list of evidence that you will
see will not convince anyone that Oswald was in the 6th floor window and
was firing at the motorcade. Watch the list of evidence that will be
shown to you, and remember that NO MC rifle bullet ever hit or hurt
anyone, and I can prove it.
It won't convince a dedicated conspiracy hobbyist who will deny Oswald's
guilt no matter how much evidence is presented. However any sensible
person who looks at the evidence objectively will have no doubts that
Oswald was the assassin. As the late Vince Bugliosi observed, anyone who
believes Oswald was innocent either isn't familiar with the evidence or is
just a very silly person. Which camp do you fall in?
I can't make a firm opinion yet on what LHO is innocent off and guilty
off. I'm fairly certain that LHO was involved and think it's possible,
even probable he was shooting from the 6th floor sniper nest. I'm also 95%
certain there was another shooter in the GK area based on scientific
studies and witness evidence. I'm 95% sure his fleeing the TSBD and
getting a gun from his room and then getting caught at the movie theater
with a gun trying to resist arrest makes him guilty of being involved in
some way with the shooting on Elm St. and 85% sure LHO shot Tippit. BTW,
why should there be an either or camp?
The fact that you are willing to accept Oswald might be guilty puts you
way ahead of many longtime conspiracy hobbyists who will reject any and
all evidence of his guilt. That means there is hope that you will someday
come to learn the truth. If you can find credible evidence of a shot from
the GK, you will be the first person in 53 years to have done so. Good
luck.
There is no either/or. Oswald shot both JFK and JDT. That is what the
evidence clearly indicates. There is zero evidence he had accomplices in
either crime. If you learn how much evidence there is of Oswald's guilt
and look at the evidence objectively I have no doubt you will come to the
same conclusion. If you want to continue to fool yourself into believing
that somebody else took part in the crime, I have no doubt you will be
able to do that as well.
Of course, the evidence actually shows that Oswald didn't fire his MC
rifle, though he was partially involved (probably) in the shooting from
So, you believe the sabot theory? How did the 2 large fragments get into
the limo? Some hobo dropped them in at Parkland?

the TSBD. That rifle was not in any condition to be fired, particularly
rapidly. The MC rifle had a scope that was misaligned from a bad
mounting, and it also had a sticky bolt and a double pull trigger. It was
necessary to fire it out the window of the TSBD to implicate Oswald and
satisfy the forensics, but it wasn't necessary to hit the target. That
would be done by the many other shooters.
Watch carefully as the various LNs try to convince you that the WCR has
all the answers, and Oswald was a 'lone nut' that did the whole crime
himself alone.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound

OK, Chris. The evidence that someone was shooting from the sixth floor
window of the TSBD is pretty solid. If it wasn't LHO who was it, and how
did he get in there with a rifle and then leave?

did he get in there with a rifle and then leave?
I recommend a book called "The Men on the Sixth Floor" by Collum and
Sample. They interviewed an American Indian (Lawrence Loy Factor) who
said he was recruited by a guy name Mac Wallace to be a shooter in a
group. He was tested and about a year later he got a call and was taken
to Dallas with a small group that went into the TSBD through a loading
dock door and went up to the 6th floor. The group consisted of Mac
Wallace (in charge), Ruth Ann Martinez and Factor. Factor also said that
Oswald was with them too, but the authors believed he just said that to
spread the guilt around and of himself.

He said that the woman used a walkie-talkie and gave a signal when it
was time for many to shoot at JFK. This may have explained there being
heard only 3-4 shots. When that was done, they quickly left down the back
stairs and out the loading dock door. Factor used the Oswald rifle, and
Wallace had his own rifle with him.

It has been said that when some of the perpetrators get old enough they
will start telling the story, and in this case, Factor was near death.
He died shortly after they had their 3rd and last interview with him. He
knew he was going to die.

Is it the truth? I can say that it fits many other things with the
case. There were witnesses that said that there were 2 men on the 6th
floor with a gun, and that fits, since both Factor and Wallace had guns.

If you read it, make up your own mind.

more than one witness said. ONE of the witnesses saw 2 men wit ha gun and
said the floor was the 3rd or 4th. I said she meant the 6th. My
reasoning was that many people saw a man with a gun ion the 6th floor, and
no one but this one witness saw anyone on floors 3-4. As well, if it were
true that a man was on the lower floor with a gun, was that another
shooting team we didn't figure on? Silly. So you can see why I said that
one witness made a mistake and it was the 6th floor and not the 3rd or

Well, there's the problem. Lifton was wrong about a few things, but
Douglas Horne, who was on the ARRB himself, picked up the slack and put
Lifton's work together with proof for many of the problem areas. The LNs
are much more often complaining about Lifton because Horne makes no
mistakes and gets too close to the truth.

El Tiante, if fairy tales are what you are looking for, you can certainly
find plenty of them here. Chris is just one of several prolific sources of
those. If you are interested in the facts, there is only one set of those
and they clearly tell us Oswald was the assassin. There is zero credible
evidence that he had any accomplices.
And so the arguments begin. The small list of evidence that you will
see will not convince anyone that Oswald was in the 6th floor window and
was firing at the motorcade. Watch the list of evidence that will be
shown to you, and remember that NO MC rifle bullet ever hit or hurt
anyone, and I can prove it.
Chris
OK, Chris. The evidence that someone was shooting from the sixth floor
window of the TSBD is pretty solid. If it wasn't LHO who was it, and how
did he get in there with a rifle and then leave?
I recommend a book called "The Men on the Sixth Floor" by Collum and
Sample.
I recommend you don't follow any of Chris's recommendations unless you
like pissing away your time and your money.
Ut-oh! They're trying to keep you away from the truth already! Like
Trump telling everyone don't listen to the media, they lie! I'm
different. I think if you go ahead and review the articles and books the
LNs offer, shortly you'll se the problems with their thinking. If ever
there is ANYTHING they tell you that you need to know more about, let me

They interviewed an American Indian (Lawrence Loy Factor) who
said he was recruited by a guy name Mac Wallace to be a shooter in a
group. He was tested and about a year later he got a call and was taken
to Dallas with a small group that went into the TSBD through a loading
dock door and went up to the 6th floor. The group consisted of Mac
Wallace (in charge), Ruth Ann Martinez and Factor. Factor also said that
Oswald was with them too, but the authors believed he just said that to
spread the guilt around and of himself.
This book is based on a story supposedly told to Collum and Sample by a
guy who was dead by the time the book was published and therefore couldn't
refute them. Chris puts a lot of faith in such authors who cite dead
people as their primary source.
LOL! It was an LN that said, in time, if there was a conspiracy, the
plotters will begin to get old and they will tell the true story. And now
that it has happened, they don't want to listen...:)
First of all you are on record as saying the shooters were not plotters so
you can't count Loy Factor as a plotter. Oh wait. I forgot you get to
change the rules depending on what you want to argue. We don't know what
Factor told Collum and Sample. We only know what Collum and Sample claimed
he said.

was time for many to shoot at JFK. This may have explained there being
heard only 3-4 shots. When that was done, they quickly left down the back
stairs and out the loading dock door. Factor used the Oswald rifle, and
Wallace had his own rifle with him.
It has been said that when some of the perpetrators get old enough they
will start telling the story, and in this case, Factor was near death.
He died shortly after they had their 3rd and last interview with him. He

WRONG! They didn't wait for his death, and that shows who you really

I was googling for some relevant facts and found this LA Times review of
the Collum and Sample's self published book written in 1996. It exposes
some of the major flaws in their story:

http://articles.latimes.com/1996-01-16/news/ls-25233_1_sixth-floor

The article confirms something I remember reading before but couldn't find

jail. That pretty much shoots down Johnny Powell's bullshit story.

Well, there's the problem. Lifton was wrong about a few things, but
Douglas Horne, who was on the ARRB himself, picked up the slack and put
Lifton's work together with proof for many of the problem areas. The LNs
are much more often complaining about Lifton because Horne makes no
mistakes and gets too close to the truth.
The only thing Lifton and Horne proved is that there is one born every

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As well, another area of interest is the autopsy, which was described
in an Autopsy Report (AR). That report was faked, and the proof for that
is in the ARRB files and the testimony and statements of the men of
Bethesda Hospital who were on the autopsy team with the doctors who were
ordered to make the phony AR.
Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about
anything, let me know and I'll be glad to give my version of the truth,
most of which comes from cites and links from the files.

Well, now we can shoot down your bullshit story. Try using Google
Earth and you will see that that the Criminal Courts building where the
cells are, has a clear sight line to the 6th floor of the TSBD. You can't
trust these kooky LN articles. Using Google Earth you can see the bars on
the windows of the building all the way up to the 6th floor. Further,
there was an argument about seeing a table saw in the 6th floor. How the
hell someone could see that from outside I don't know, and 2 witnesses say
they saw it. They saw it from inside. They were replacing flooring on
the 6th floor that day. A table saw would be a welcome tool.

The FBI (in 1963) say you can't see the TSBD 6th floor form the jail.
That is patently false. The FBI was working overtime to assure everyone
that Hoover's 'lone nut' theory was taken as true. Since you can indeed
see the TSBD 6th floor from the jail, that's just more proof of their
falsehoods.


Getting the rifles into the TSBD was easy. The MC rifle was already
there, having been brought in by Oswald. The other one was brought in
without any covering, and as long as no one was watching, anyone could
walk in through the loading dock door and up the stairs. Same for
leaving, and the MC rifle was left on the 6th floor to implicate Oswald.

Next, there was supposedly a problem with Ruth Ann Martinez giving
hand signals and Wallace and Factor would not see the gesture. Plain
foolishness! Ruth Ann had a Walkie-talkie and spoke into it. If she
spoke loud enough, the people on the 6th floor would hear her.

There were no other complaints, and all have ben answered. As I said,
we've shot down your bullshit story.

it. I had that same sort of feeling of stupidity after I read David
Lifton's Best Evidence.
Well, there's the problem. Lifton was wrong about a few things, but
Douglas Horne, who was on the ARRB himself, picked up the slack and put
Lifton's work together with proof for many of the problem areas. The LNs
are much more often complaining about Lifton because Horne makes no
mistakes and gets too close to the truth.
The only thing Lifton and Horne proved is that there is one born every
minute.
I think the LN kooks have done that, with that phony WCR.
The WCR is still around and as valid as ever. Conspiracy books come and go
and get relegated to history's clearance table.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As well, another area of interest is the autopsy, which was described
in an Autopsy Report (AR). That report was faked, and the proof for that
is in the ARRB files and the testimony and statements of the men of
Bethesda Hospital who were on the autopsy team with the doctors who were
ordered to make the phony AR.
Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about
anything, let me know and I'll be glad to give my version of the truth,
most of which comes from cites and links from the files.
El Tiante, if fairy tales are what you are looking for, you can certainly
find plenty of them here. Chris is just one of several prolific sources of
those. If you are interested in the facts, there is only one set of those
and they clearly tell us Oswald was the assassin. There is zero credible
evidence that he had any accomplices.
And so the arguments begin. The small list of evidence that you will
see will not convince anyone that Oswald was in the 6th floor window and
was firing at the motorcade. Watch the list of evidence that will be
shown to you, and remember that NO MC rifle bullet ever hit or hurt
anyone, and I can prove it.
Chris
OK, Chris. The evidence that someone was shooting from the sixth floor
window of the TSBD is pretty solid. If it wasn't LHO who was it, and how
did he get in there with a rifle and then leave?
Emilio Santana. Walked.

Facts are what I look for but so far many of those facts are not so cut
and dry that different interpretations can be just off handedly rules out.
What I've done so far with my limited knowledge of the subject is to
categorize the facts into a range of probability. For example I'll use a
range of probability of 100% certainty to 50% probability. 100% certainty
JFK is wounded and killed and JBC is wounded while in the limousine on Elm
St. 75% to 85% probability that LHO used Alek Hidell and variants as an
alias and that he used that alias to buy both the rifle and the handgun,
in his connection with the FPCC, the bogus draft card, etc. 50%
probability that it was LHO who was with two other guys in the Sylvia Odio
incident and also that LHO did practice with his rifle numerous times as
evidenced by witnesses who saw him firing at the rifle range.

some practicing.

The reason it was not used might be they would not consider the younger
Wood as credible because he saw LHO leave with another man in a car. I see
this as probative evidence because LHO was not present at the Paine's
house that Saturday and there's no way the younger Wood would have any
knowledge of this, IMHO or AFAIK or AFAICBD or UTETTC.

The reason I believe many CT's do not like this evidence is due to the
fact LHO did practice his marksmanship and was capable of making the shots
attributed to him.

Oswald never practiced with his rifle. He didn't buy it to shoot
anyone either. The Sportsdrome story was rejected by both the FBI and the
WC. It appeared to be made by a friend of the new range to boost the
sales.

POTUS.
Oswald never practiced with his rifle. He didn't buy it to shoot
So Marina lied? WHy?

anyone either. The Sportsdrome story was rejected by both the FBI and the
WC. It appeared to be made by a friend of the new range to boost the

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses. You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As well, another area of interest is the autopsy, which was described
in an Autopsy Report (AR). That report was faked, and the proof for that
is in the ARRB files and the testimony and statements of the men of
Bethesda Hospital who were on the autopsy team with the doctors who were
ordered to make the phony AR.
Many of the arguments hinge on these topics above, and you'll hear both
sides in the future, and will have to choose. If you're in doubt about
anything, let me know and I'll be glad to give my version of the truth,
most of which comes from cites and links from the files.
El Tiante, if fairy tales are what you are looking for, you can certainly
find plenty of them here. Chris is just one of several prolific sources of
those. If you are interested in the facts, there is only one set of those
and they clearly tell us Oswald was the assassin. There is zero credible
evidence that he had any accomplices.
Facts are what I look for but so far many of those facts are not so cut
and dry that different interpretations can be just off handedly rules out.
What I've done so far with my limited knowledge of the subject is to
categorize the facts into a range of probability. For example I'll use a
range of probability of 100% certainty to 50% probability. 100% certainty
JFK is wounded and killed and JBC is wounded while in the limousine on Elm
St. 75% to 85% probability that LHO used Alek Hidell and variants as an
alias and that he used that alias to buy both the rifle and the handgun,
in his connection with the FPCC, the bogus draft card, etc. 50%
probability that it was LHO who was with two other guys in the Sylvia Odio
incident and also that LHO did practice with his rifle numerous times as
evidenced by witnesses who saw him firing at the rifle range.
The WC defenders argue with a double standard. They demand 100% from the
conspiracy side and can't give 100% from their side.
When the acoustical evidence came out they dismissed it because they
said that 99.99% was not absolute proof. Yet they have 0% evidence for
their SBT.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm open to different interpretations and have not yet held to a firm opinion on just about any subject relating to the JFK assassination but I just can't see how there was this vast conspiracy of instantly faked documents and vast array of people who were in on the conspiracy. I think it's simpler. There was a conspiracy, LHO was involved in some way not yet clear to me, there was a cover up by government agencies to hide the fact they messed up in letting LHO fall under the radar, that LBJ knew that LHO was involved in some way with pro-Castro forces and feared that if this and the US government involvement in attempts to kill Castro became public he would be forced to ask for a declaration of war with Cuba which could lead to an escalation involving the USSR, the Warsaw Pact and NATO. IOW, JFK became expendable in order to avoid the possibility of a very costly war.

It appears that you've hit on some of the story. I can help with more
of it, and I'm sure others here will want to try to sway you to their
view, which usually means the WCR version of things. In my opinion, it
was a conspiracy, and Oswald didn't fire his rifle into Dealey Plaza. He
brought his rifle in to the TSBD, but others used it. And NO bullet from
the MC rifle hit or hurt anyone, and no one here can prove otherwise.

By counting the many bullet strikes in Dealey Plaza, we can see that
there were multiple shooters. By reviewing the 'stare-of-death' photo, we
can tell that the kill shot hit the forehead of JFK and killed him. A
close examination of the testimonies and statements of the men at Bethesda
who were on the autopsy team, proves that the Autopsy Report (AR) was
faked. They had reached conclusions that DURING the autopsy that a
certain bullet had gone through JFK and come out a throat wound and then
hit Connally, yet remained almost 'pristine'. That bullet hit 2 men 7
times with 2 bone strikes and came out as if it almost didn't hit
anything.

The trouble with all that is that the autopsy team saw PROOF in the
body when the organs were removed that the upper back bullet never went
past the pleura (covering over the lungs). Therefore it couldn't go on to
hit Connally. That means the 'Single Bullet' theory is dead, and that
means that there was another shooter.

Most of Horne's work related to the Z-film is in his volume 4 of 5
about the ARRB. He spends hundreds of pages explaining the witnesses that
proved the film went to a CIA lab to be altered, and CIA witnesses that
did the checking of the result of the alteration, He also makes clear the
technical methods that were available to alter the film in 1963, and he
interviews one of the witnesses here:

https://vimeo.com/102327635

skip to 25:00 to hear the question and answer session with Dino
Brugione, who was a CIA film Analyst who saw the ORIGINAL Z-film. He was
shocked later when he saw the changes they had done to the film. The
earlier part of the video is Horne describing more of the Z-film
background. All of which most others seem to shy away from. In fact they
all seem to shy away from anything that relates to the ARRB information.

LBJ? Before the shooting LBJ was not cleared to know about the attempts to
kill Castro. Shortly after the shooting LBJ was informed of Oswald's visit
to Mexico City. Immediately after the shooting LBJ assumed that it was a
first strike by the Russians and expected that soon they would be
launching missiles.

I am now, at least for the time being, replying to you again, Chris, and
that is because back in September you *finally* apologized to me for
falsely accusing me of being the same person as Sandy McCroskey way back
in February, 2015. My apologies now for taking so long to acknowledge
your own apology, but almost immediately after you apologized to me this
past September, I took one of my many long absences from this group, and
did not resume posting here until just a few days ago.

Now that we've gotten past that, let's see what you have to say.

contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Post by mainframetech
The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.

And I've never asked you this question before, I don't think, but I will
do so now, and this applies to *anyone* who claims the film was, ah, um,
"altered":

It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head. So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??

Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??

You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?

You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.

So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.

Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.

I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly

As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
witnesses:

One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.

An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.

You even used the pie-chart on Dr. McAdams's website, this one:

I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
this:

"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."

Or else you conflated the OTHER group of witnesses, listed as "Other," and
said something like this:

"41% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from at least one other direction."

Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.

Several of us, including me, corrected you on your very misleading
statement. Challenge me in the slightest on this, and I will of course do
my best to locate the exact article in which you said these things, quote
you verbatim saying these things, along with the exact Google Groups URL
which irrefutably proves that you did indeed post such an article.

In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
I am now, at least for the time being, replying to you again, Chris, and
that is because back in September you *finally* apologized to me for
falsely accusing me of being the same person as Sandy McCroskey way back
in February, 2015. My apologies now for taking so long to acknowledge
your own apology, but almost immediately after you apologized to me this
past September, I took one of my many long absences from this group, and
did not resume posting here until just a few days ago.
Now that we've gotten past that, let's see what you have to say.

As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Well, my experience is that there are more LNs, though it may be they
are more vocal, so more easily recognized. But we're both going with out
opinions.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
That was one of the CIA film Analysts, who was interviewed by Douglass
Horne. But he was NOT the only evidence, so please don't get hung up on
that. There is quire a long list of evidence you'll find in the 4th
volume of 5 on the ARRB, written by Douglas Horne. It uses hundreds of
pages of proofs that the film was taken to the CIA film lab in Rochester,
NY and altered there. It was first use to set up briefing boards for the
higher ups, and then after alteration, it was used separately by another
CIA Film Analyst to run more briefing boards for the higher ups all over
again. This was to compare the original film to the altered film to
decided if the work was acceptable. After this when the Life magazine
bought the rights for a exorbitant amount, They NEVER showed the film
again as a movie, always a frame here or there. And yet they paid an
extreme amount for it.

BTW, the Life magazine had connections to the intelligence community:

And I've never asked you this question before, I don't think, but I will
do so now, and this applies to *anyone* who claims the film was, ah, um,
It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head.
That is incorrect. If you will bear with me, I'll show you why it's
believed that the kill shot was from the right front. If you look closely
at the 'stare-of-death' photo, and ENLARGE it, look just under the hair
hanging down and tell me what you see there:

I've shown that to many people outside of this forum and most of them
see the same thing, and it's something surprising.
Post by Caeruleo
So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
You're asking the wrong person about their motives for some of their
alterations, but some make perfect sense. It was critical to the plotters
that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from
above and behind, and the wounds seem to echo that.
Post by Caeruleo
Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??
I've said nothing about the alteration of the movement of the head. I
don't se a reason to change it, but it could be they did. The majority of
changes were in the 313 area and following.
Post by Caeruleo
You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
As per Vincent DiMaio in his book "Gunshot Wounds" mentions that with
rifle shots there can be a "backsplash" from a wound going back in the
direction the bullet came in.
Post by Caeruleo
So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.
I can't speak to that. If you listen to the explanations of Horne,
there might be answers to that in his volume 4.
Post by Caeruleo
Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.
I think you have also missed the list I made here of over 39 witnesses
to a 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK. There was a bullet hole in the right
forehead/temple area that went through the skull and blew out the BOH
slightly to the right of center. The list I made has the name of the
witness, the words they said, and the context (link) where it can be
found.

There was a 'large hole' in the BOH, but many people were fooled into
thinking that there was only a small bullet hole there. They even made
drawings that fit that scenario to fool people. They released the photos
supposedly of the autopsy, and said they were 'leaked'. Some of those
were also altered. And I'll be happy to show you which ones.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.
Minority or majority have no bearing when one set is better for
explanation than another. Horne was also in close contact with the ARRB
and was a team member of it. He listened to much sworn testimony and
administered some of it too.
Post by Caeruleo
Post by mainframetech
Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
If I quoted a percentage, I think it came from an article in McAdams
files. But that is overridden by counting the bullet strikes in Dealey
Plaza. That helps fix the number of shots. Much has changed since you
last were involved. Many proofs have strengthened.
Post by Caeruleo
Or else you conflated the OTHER group of witnesses, listed as "Other," and
"41% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from at least one other direction."
I haven't used numbers like that in years. I no longer try to count
sources or shots by percentage of shots heard here or there. The count if
bullet strikes is what I use nowadays.
Post by Caeruleo
Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in

I no longer would know. The shot count by bullet strike is what I sue
now. If you have an interest I'll list some of them for you.

No, it is *not* incorrect. The vast majority of people I have ever talked

said that either the *primary* reason or one of the *main* reasons that
they believe there was a shot from the right front is because of the back
and to the left motion of his head. Nothing else. Just that. Or else
very little except for that motion. A tremendously *smaller* percentage
of people have ever said that it *isn't* the motion of the head that has
convinced them that there was a shot from the GK. A *much* smaller
percentage of people say anything at all about the appearance of the

Even before I look, I already know that what you're about to show me has
nothing to do with why the *majority* of people who believe in a GK gunman
say they believe this. Remember that the majority of people worldwide who
have any opinion whatsoever on this matter, regardless of what that
opinion is, have not studied the assassination nearly as thoroughly as we
here in this newsgroup. The vast majority have, at the most, in their
entire lives, seen no more than one or two or three documentaries about
the assassination, and/or have read no more than one or two or three
complete testimonies to the WC, and/or have only read, at the most, one or
two or three books about the assassination, and/or get all or most of
their information about the assassination from the movie "JFK." Stop at
least ten adults at random on the street and ask them what their opinion
is about the assassination and if they express any opinion at all, then
ask them how much they have actually studied the assassination, what their
exact reasons are for believing whatever they believe, and what their
sources of information are. I guarantee you that it is a 99% certainty
that you will find that the majority of them give away the fact that
they've barely studied the assassination at all.

It would be helpful to post a much larger and more high-resolution scan of
that photo, such as this:

Post by mainframetech
I've shown that to many people outside of this forum and most of them
see the same thing, and it's something surprising.
I'm assuming that what you are talking about is the sort of "jagged edge"
that appears to the right (JFK's right, that is, our "left" when viewing
the image) and somewhat above his right eye. If that's what you're
talking about (and it may not be) the unfortunate thing about both scans
of that photo that you and I produced is that that part of his head is so
much in shadow that it is difficult to make out what, exactly, it is.
And I could show that photo to people outside of this forum too,
especially to people who have never seen any *other* photos from the
autopsy, and they might naturally say it is "surprising" also.

But of course, since I *have* seen *all* photos of the autopsy that ever
been made public many times in my life, I knew exactly what that was
within the first three seconds of the first time I looked at the link you
provided. It is of course seen far more clearly in this color photo taken
of the right side of his head:

Loading Image...

It is shaped, somewhat, like a triangle, which is more or less "pointing"
toward his right eye, and it is quite obviously an area where part of his
skull is missing, and it goes through part of his right eyebrow. More or
less the same thing is shown in the frontal x-ray of his skull, in which
part of the right side of the skull of his forehead is missing down to
about the level of his right eyebrow:

Loading Image...

So, if that's what you're talking about (and I've already admitted that it
might not be) I don't see how that indicates that the Zapruder film was
altered. Just like in the film, the majority of the damage is shown to be
in the right hemisphere of his head, and also to be forward of his ear.
Notice I didn't say "all" of the damage; I said the "majority" of the
damage.

part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right

that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from

That still does not address what I said. The aspect of the film that is
most *likely* to convince the average person that there was a shot from
the right front is the back and to the left motion of his head, and this
has been borne out ever since the film was first seen by the general
public in 1975. Once again, the vast majority of people who have ever
expressed the opinion that there was a shot from the GK have specifically
said that it is either mainly, or exclusively, because they see his head
go back and to the left. A much smaller percentage mention anything about
the appearance of the damage to his head as their main reason for
believing there was a shot from the GK.

So once again, your "they" altered an aspect of the film that was far
*less* likely to convince the general public that there was a shot from
the right front, but left intact the aspect of the film that was far
*more* likely to convince them of such a thing.

I didn't say you did. What I obviously *am* saying is that you should pay

aspect of the film to convince the general public that there was a shot
from the Grassy Knoll???
Post by mainframetech
The majority of
changes were in the 313 area and following.
Which includes the back and to the left movement of his head, the one
single aspect of that film that has convinced the majority of people who
believe in a GK gunman that there was a shot fired from the GK. No other
aspect of that film has served to convince nearly as many people to come
to this conclusion other than the motion of his head.
Post by mainframetech
Post by Caeruleo
You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
As per Vincent DiMaio in his book "Gunshot Wounds" mentions that with
rifle shots there can be a "backsplash" from a wound going back in the
direction the bullet came in.
You still continue to evade me. The majority of people, worldwide, who
believe that the fatal head shot came from the GK have never read that
book. They believe this, exclusively, or almost exclusively, because they
see his head going back and to the left in the Zapruder film, and they
very seldom, if ever, cite any other evidence than that.

Are you clear that I am talking about the average person, not the average
JFK assassination researcher?

I can't speak to that.
You mean you *won't* speak to that. There is no "can't" in a circumstance
like this. All you have to do is make the decision to directly address,
in at least half as much detail as I have already done *without* being

scenario: "they" altered the film, yet left intact in the film the back
and to the left motion, the single aspect of the film, far more than any
other aspect of the film, which has convinced millions of people that
there was a shot from the GK.

And apparently YOU have missed the HUNDREDS of articles that I have posted
to this newsgroup since 2002 in which I have plainly and unequivocally
said that I do indeed believe there was a hole in the back of his head,
and that the Parkland personnel, plus additional persons such as Clint
Hill, were absolutely correct about that. You also have apparently missed
the many articles I have posted here for the past fourteen years in which
I have soundly criticized, and even ridiculed, LNs who claim that all of
those witnesses were "wrong." As I've said to them many times, for
example, the average ten-year-old child, without a day of medical
training, can easily tell the difference between the front of a human head
and the back or rear, and can also easily tell the difference between that
and the right or left side of the head.

At this late date it is totally unnecessary for me to have ever seen your
"list" of those witnesses, since I had already read their statements close
to a decade before you first posted to this newsgroup.

There was a bullet hole in the right
forehead/temple area that went through the skull and blew out the BOH
slightly to the right of center.
Coming from the right and in *front* of JFK? The exit damage would far
more likely be somewhere on the *left* of center.
Post by mainframetech
The list I made has the name of the
witness, the words they said, and the context (link) where it can be
found.
Which I have no need whatsoever to see now since I was already reading
those same statements fourteen years ago. And as I said above, I have
posted hundreds of articles here in which I have said I *agree* with those
witnesses.

There was a 'large hole' in the BOH, but many people were fooled into
thinking that there was only a small bullet hole there. They even made
drawings that fit that scenario to fool people. They released the photos
supposedly of the autopsy, and said they were 'leaked'. Some of those
were also altered. And I'll be happy to show you which ones.
I've already been through all that years ago, thanks.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.
Minority or majority have no bearing when one set is better for
explanation than another.
You mean "better" in your opinion. Sorry, that isn't good enough. The
majority very obviously *does* have a bearing in a case like this. When
the majority of experts in a particular subject come to the same
conclusion, it should quite obviously be taken seriously.

Horne was also in close contact with the ARRB

administered some of it too.
So? He is nowhere even remotely close to the only person who did all
that.

Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
If I quoted a percentage, I think it came from an article in McAdams
files.
No. If I remember correctly you specifically cited that exact image of
that exact piechart to back up your claims.

But that is overridden by counting the bullet strikes in Dealey
Plaza.
How on earth can someone "count" the bullet strikes in Dealey?

That helps fix the number of shots. Much has changed since you
last were involved. Many proofs have strengthened.
Um, since I "last" was "involved"? How long ago, exactly, do you think I
was "last involved"? The dates on which I post to this newsgroup give no
indication whatsoever as to what *other* dates I study the assassination
on days when I *don't* post here. Yes, I am typically absent from this

But you did at one time.

I no longer try to count
sources or shots by percentage of shots heard here or there. The count if
bullet strikes is what I use nowadays.

Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.
I no longer would know. The shot count by bullet strike is what I sue
now. If you have an interest I'll list some of them for you.

Several of us, including me, corrected you on your very misleading
statement. Challenge me in the slightest on this, and I will of course do
my best to locate the exact article in which you said these things, quote
you verbatim saying these things, along with the exact Google Groups URL
which irrefutably proves that you did indeed post such an article.
I'm sure I got those numbers from an article in McAdams files, and I
don't remember anything much about them.
No article in his "files" that I've ever seen (and I've been looking at
his website since 2000, starting two years before I first posted to this
newsgroup) specifically says anything even remotely similar to what you
claimed at the time, unless it was an article written by a CT that he
chose to include just to give an alternate viewpoint. And I've already
shown you the very piechart that you referred directly to back then. All
right, let me see if I can find that exchange.

Yep, here it is, found it in less than five minutes:

https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=alt.assassination.jfk/VKRW9jmuHpY/4cORJbr5BQoJ

In that article, which was a reply to Anthony Marsh (who in his turn was
replying to me) you said this:

"I believe the most recent numbers that John collected using his student
was 34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll, and that
was after he applied his subjective view to some of the counts."

You were very *obviously* referring to this article on his website:

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/shots.htm

Scroll down to the section titled "Definitive Tabulation" and there is
where he explains that his students helped him in this, and to the right
is the very same piechart I gave a link to in the article of mine to which
you are now responding. Nowhere in that entire section, nowhere, does it
say "34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll." It
quite specifically says 31% thought the shots came from the Grassy Knoll
*only*, as in *all* of the shots. You very obviously added a completely
*different* group of witnesses, who are given only as "Other," which are
said there to comprise a mere 3%.

In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.
Welp, as usual there you go again. If you try speaking to me in a
fairly decent manner,
Once again, that is the pot calling the kettle black. You were not
speaking to me in anything even remotely close to what most people would
call a "decent" manner when you falsely accused me of being the same
person as Sandy McCroskey, although you did eventually apologize for that.
But I have seen you many times address other posters here in a manner that
many people besides me would call rude and condescending, so you are
criticizing me for something you do at least as often as I do, if not more
often.

As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Well, my experience is that there are more LNs, though it may be they
are more vocal, so more easily recognized.
That also I find to be nonsensical. I've seen plenty of "vocal" CTs here,
and you yourself are every bit as "vocal" as any LN here, unless you are
using a very different definition of "vocal" than the majority of
English-speakers worldwide.
Fortunately, I'm mostly immune to opinions that take shots. What
you've seen is like me, purely opinion. I am indeed very vocal, but I'm
only one. I converse or defend to many LNs almost every day that think
I'm wrong for one reason or another. It's not a new thing for me.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
That was one of the CIA film Analysts, who was interviewed by Douglass
Horne. But he was NOT the only evidence, so please don't get hung up on
that.
It's still worth addressing though. A CIA film analyst, saying
approximately three decades after the assassination that what is now most
often presented as the Zapruder film is not what he recalled from three
decades earlier is hardly anything even remotely close to "solid" evidence
that the film was altered.
That's your opinion. Memory is funny. When a situation is emotional
or very important in some way, memory is enhanced.

And I have seen many people (including at least a few CTs) say that they
find Douglas Horne to be extremely biased or some such thing.
I'm sure he's biased, since he was on the ARRB, and was very close to
the many proofs available there. I'm sure that he was convinced by the
evidence that he saw daily that we're dealing with a plot, and not a 'lone

Are you going to claim that at the time it was the *only* copy of the

The other copies were also replaced by copies of the altered film.

It was first use to set up briefing boards for the

forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe

That is incorrect.
No, it is *not* incorrect. The vast majority of people I have ever talked

never talked to, but whose statements I have heard or seen on the
internet, in newspapers, magazines, on the radio and on television have
said that either the *primary* reason or one of the *main* reasons that
they believe there was a shot from the right front is because of the back
and to the left motion of his head. Nothing else. Just that. Or else
very little except for that motion.

Even before I look, I already know that what you're about to show me has
nothing to do with why the *majority* of people who believe in a GK gunman
say they believe this. Remember that the majority of people worldwide who
have any opinion whatsoever on this matter, regardless of what that
opinion is, have not studied the assassination nearly as thoroughly as we
here in this newsgroup. The vast majority have, at the most, in their
entire lives, seen no more than one or two or three documentaries about
the assassination, and/or have read no more than one or two or three
complete testimonies to the WC, and/or have only read, at the most, one or
two or three books about the assassination, and/or get all or most of
their information about the assassination from the movie "JFK." Stop at
least ten adults at random on the street and ask them what their opinion
is about the assassination and if they express any opinion at all, then
ask them how much they have actually studied the assassination, what their
exact reasons are for believing whatever they believe, and what their
sources of information are. I guarantee you that it is a 99% certainty
that you will find that the majority of them give away the fact that
they've barely studied the assassination at all.

I've shown that to many people outside of this forum and most of them
see the same thing, and it's something surprising.
I'm assuming that what you are talking about is the sort of "jagged edge"
that appears to the right (JFK's right, that is, our "left" when viewing
the image) and somewhat above his right eye. If that's what you're
talking about (and it may not be) the unfortunate thing about both scans
of that photo that you and I produced is that that part of his head is so
much in shadow that it is difficult to make out what, exactly, it is.
Maybe to you. But it has to be ENLARGED more than that photo does it.
And I'm surprised that you see a "jagged edge". When you see it under
magnification, it is a clear bullet hole. The raised rim was described by
Vincent DiMaio, and expert in the field of forensics as a fleshy rim that
is present in a bullet wound during hours after the shot went in. The
whole bullet hole also matches an example from his book "Gunshot Wounds"
in Chapter 4 figure 4.16. It is also an entry wound, and not an exit.
The exit is the 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK. The bullet went in the
forehead, and went through the skull, and blasted out the BOH. The old
story, small going in, large going out.

I've shown that photo to many people outside this forum and I did NOT
tell them anything. They immediately said oh, it's a bullet hole, and
that's JFK! But inside this forum, most folks see all kinds of things
except one guy that saw nothing out of place at all, but there's always an
outlier.
Post by Caeruleo
And I could show that photo to people outside of this forum too,
especially to people who have never seen any *other* photos from the
autopsy, and they might naturally say it is "surprising" also.
But of course, since I *have* seen *all* photos of the autopsy that ever
been made public many times in my life, I knew exactly what that was
within the first three seconds of the first time I looked at the link you
provided. It is of course seen far more clearly in this color photo taken
http://images.slideplayer.com/24/6963534/slides/slide_18.jpg
Absolutely wrong! That photo is not showing the item I pointed out.
And just for the sake of interest, most of the autopsy photos we all have
seen were 'leaked', and I believe on purpose to shut up some people. I
can go through some of them and prove they are altered. Particularly the
one showing the BOH as only hair with no holes or other abnormal
conditions.

It is shaped, somewhat, like a triangle, which is more or less "pointing"
toward his right eye, and it is quite obviously an area where part of his

part of the right side of the skull of his forehead is missing down to
There was a flap shaped like a triangle that was in front of the right
ear, not over the eye like the bullet hole. And the flap was far too

So, if that's what you're talking about (and I've already admitted that it
might not be) I don't see how that indicates that the Zapruder film was
altered. Just like in the film, the majority of the damage is shown to be
in the right hemisphere of his head, and also to be forward of his ear.
Notice I didn't say "all" of the damage; I said the "majority" of the
damage.
The "damage" as it was in Parkland was very different from what the
descriptions were in Bethesda at the autopsy. In Parkland, they noticed
only the large hole in the BOH where the bullet blasted it out. No flap
in front of the right ear. The head was handled by a nurse Diana Bowron
who washed the hair and the head and the body. She handled the head, and
if the skull had been cracked like the X-rays show, it would have been
obvious. I've had the experience of handling a head broken up like that,
and you know it immediately that you hold the head. Bowron noted no such
problem, only the 'large hole' in the BOH seen by so many witnesses.

So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
You're asking the wrong person about their motives for some of their
alterations, but some make perfect sense. It was critical to the plotters
that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from
above and behind, and the wounds seem to echo that.
That still does not address what I said. The aspect of the film that is
most *likely* to convince the average person that there was a shot from
the right front is the back and to the left motion of his head, and this
has been borne out ever since the film was first seen by the general
public in 1975. Once again, the vast majority of people who have ever
expressed the opinion that there was a shot from the GK have specifically
said that it is either mainly, or exclusively, because they see his head
go back and to the left. A much smaller percentage mention anything about
the appearance of the damage to his head as their main reason for
believing there was a shot from the GK.
I remember myself that many people made that assumption that back and
to the left and that a shooter had to be coming from the front. Well,
they couldn't have that and quickly they were putting together proof that
the head would go in any direction or even back and to the left based on
where the bullet hit an not where it came from. Nervous effect, or other
foolish ideas were put forward, and after a while they got many people to
accept that the shooter had struck from above and behind, so that Oswald
was implicated.
Post by Caeruleo
So once again, your "they" altered an aspect of the film that was far
*less* likely to convince the general public that there was a shot from
the right front, but left intact the aspect of the film that was far
*more* likely to convince them of such a thing.

Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??
I've said nothing about the alteration of the movement of the head.
I didn't say you did. What I obviously *am* saying is that you should pay
more attention to that aspect of the film regarding the overall majority
opinion of the general public as to exactly why they believe there was a
shot from the GK.
Since the Z-film was altered, I don't see much use in using it for many
things, like timings and such. And much of the alterations were state to
have been done to the frame 313 and around that point. Particularly after
313, you'll see a 'blob' at the BOH covering the hole made by the blasting
out of the BOH. It is actually painted on the film on the frames, then
the film is copied to another roll without paint, so that it look like it
was right there in the photo.

The majority of
changes were in the 313 area and following.
Which includes the back and to the left movement of his head, the one
single aspect of that film that has convinced the majority of people who
believe in a GK gunman that there was a shot fired from the GK. No other
aspect of that film has served to convince nearly as many people to come
to this conclusion other than the motion of his head.

have to go in the direction the bullet traveled. They took care of it
that way.

You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
As per Vincent DiMaio in his book "Gunshot Wounds" mentions that with
rifle shots there can be a "backsplash" from a wound going back in the
direction the bullet came in.

Post by Caeruleo
The majority of people, worldwide, who
believe that the fatal head shot came from the GK have never read that
book. They believe this, exclusively, or almost exclusively, because they
see his head going back and to the left in the Zapruder film, and they
very seldom, if ever, cite any other evidence than that.
Are you clear that I am talking about the average person, not the average
JFK assassination researcher?
I recognize that you're speaking again in statistics, how many of
these, or those, etc. You should know that I'm not particularly convinced
by any arguments to do with the 'back and to the left' crowd. The bullet
hole in the forehead does it for me, that matches the blowout at the BOH.

So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.
I can't speak to that.
You mean you *won't* speak to that. There is no "can't" in a circumstance
like this. All you have to do is make the decision to directly address,
in at least half as much detail as I have already done *without* being
asked to do so, which single aspect of the Zapruder film has convinced the
largest number of people that there was a shot from the GK. Altering a
far less obvious aspect of the film is pointless.
Please don't set any limits or parameters on me. I won't hold to them.
As to which part of the Z-film has done the most convincing, I don't know,
though I've seen a lot of people claiming they got their knowledge from
the film, and often they mention seeing the head 'blow up', as they put
it.

If you listen to the explanations of Horne,
there might be answers to that in his volume 4.
Now wait a minute: there *might* be answers to that in his volume 4? You
mean you yourself don't even know for sure?
I didn't memorize that work. I believe he covered all aspects of the
murder related to the Z-film. Don't try to make something out of my
memory.

Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.
Do you often feel that you are surrounded by "stupid" people? And a
note, the damage to the head of JFK was seen by over 39 witnesses as being
at the BOH slightly to the right occipital area. That list is in the
topic list if you go back far enough. If necessary I can put it out
again. It contains the name of the person that spoke, the words they
spoke, and the location of the context so that can be checked too.

Evasion, evasion, evasion. You continue to absolutely *refuse* to
*directly* address this obvious, glaring, and *fatal* problem with your
scenario: "they" altered the film, yet left intact in the film the back
and to the left motion, the single aspect of the film, far more than any
other aspect of the film, which has convinced millions of people that
there was a shot from the GK.
there you go. You're not listening. The next iteration of this post
will have my comments on that stupid business. You've got yourself into a
loop that won't answer anything and won't help you get through the case
just make arguments that go nowhere and that are about nothing.
Post by Caeruleo
And apparently YOU have missed the HUNDREDS of articles that I have posted
to this newsgroup since 2002 in which I have plainly and unequivocally
said that I do indeed believe there was a hole in the back of his head,
and that the Parkland personnel, plus additional persons such as Clint
Hill, were absolutely correct about that. You also have apparently missed
the many articles I have posted here for the past fourteen years in which
I have soundly criticized, and even ridiculed, LNs who claim that all of
those witnesses were "wrong." As I've said to them many times, for
example, the average ten-year-old child, without a day of medical
training, can easily tell the difference between the front of a human head
and the back or rear, and can also easily tell the difference between that
and the right or left side of the head.
I'm glad that you are aware of the hole in the BOH. Hopefully you'll
agree with my assessment that the entry point is the bullet hole in the
forehead I showed you, that went through the head and blasted out the hole
in the BOH. I have indeed missed many articles that you may have posted,
since I came on this scene a lot later than you.
Post by Caeruleo
At this late date it is totally unnecessary for me to have ever seen your
"list" of those witnesses, since I had already read their statements close
to a decade before you first posted to this newsgroup.

There was a bullet hole in the right
forehead/temple area that went through the skull and blew out the BOH
slightly to the right of center.
Coming from the right and in *front* of JFK? The exit damage would far
more likely be somewhere on the *left* of center.
Nope, not this time. If you check the films you'll see that JFK is
slightly turned to the left and presenting the area of the forehead where
the bullet went in, but depending on the location of the shooter, the
bullet could easily go through mostly on the right side of the head and
blow out the BOH slightly to the right occipital area.

The list I made has the name of the
witness, the words they said, and the context (link) where it can be
found.
Which I have no need whatsoever to see now since I was already reading
those same statements fourteen years ago. And as I said above, I have
posted hundreds of articles here in which I have said I *agree* with those
witnesses.

There was a 'large hole' in the BOH, but many people were fooled into
thinking that there was only a small bullet hole there. They even made
drawings that fit that scenario to fool people. They released the photos
supposedly of the autopsy, and said they were 'leaked'. Some of those
were also altered. And I'll be happy to show you which ones.
I've already been through all that years ago, thanks.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.
Minority or majority have no bearing when one set is better for
explanation than another.
You mean "better" in your opinion. Sorry, that isn't good enough. The
majority very obviously *does* have a bearing in a case like this. When
the majority of experts in a particular subject come to the same
conclusion, it should quite obviously be taken seriously.
Yes, possibly, unless for instance the situation is the one we have
here, with medical panels that were misled and missing photos and X-rays,
and altered evidence. The panels had no chance to make a decent
conclusion. They needed to see what the autopsy team saw, and they needed
to be able to hear what the men of Bethesda had to say under oath. They
had none of that, and they were shown phony drawings by Ida Dox besides
that showed (for instance) a bullet hole in the BOH in the middle of a
fully haired BOH. The bullet hole was drawn in clearly but wasn't on the
real photo that was copied!! Those drawings were used with the excuse
that the family of JFK didn't want anyone to view the real autopsy photos!

Here's the example:

Note the bullet hole put near the right of the ruler. Now here's the
photo that was copied:

There's no bullet hole, and there is only a slight red spot, which
Humes stated he didn't know what it was, but it wasn't anything important,
maybe a blood spot.

Horne was also in close contact with the ARRB
and was a team member of it. He listened to much sworn testimony and
administered some of it too.
So? He is nowhere even remotely close to the only person who did all
that.
there wasn't only one person that did that for the ARRB. There was a
team. They swore in witnesses and took their stories and asked them
questions.

Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
If I quoted a percentage, I think it came from an article in McAdams
files.
No. If I remember correctly you specifically cited that exact image of
that exact piechart to back up your claims.
Sorry, I have no memory of that. I have a mild memory of getting some
info like that from a McAdams file. But I can't help you further on that.

But that is overridden by counting the bullet strikes in Dealey

How on earth can someone "count" the bullet strikes in Dealey?

That helps fix the number of shots. Much has changed since you
last were involved. Many proofs have strengthened.
Um, since I "last" was "involved"? How long ago, exactly, do you think I
was "last involved"? The dates on which I post to this newsgroup give no
indication whatsoever as to what *other* dates I study the assassination
on days when I *don't* post here. Yes, I am typically absent from this
newsgroup for months at a time. So? How do you know that I'm not
studying the assassination during the months I don't post here?
I wouldn't know or care that you examine the posts here, but as I said,

Or else you conflated the OTHER group of witnesses, listed as "Other," and
"41% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and

I haven't used numbers like that in years.
But you did at one time.
Possibly, but I have no memory of it other than what I've said above.
To be honest, I don't rely on what people heard as far as shots from one
place or another. It doesn't really matter in the long run for my view of
the crime.

I no longer try to count
sources or shots by percentage of shots heard here or there. The count if
bullet strikes is what I use nowadays.
And how on earth can anyone count the number of bullet strikes?

Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.
I no longer would know. The shot count by bullet strike is what I use
now. If you have an interest I'll list some of them for you.
Please do, since I have no earthly idea what you're talking about.
OK, here's an example. there was a bullet that hit JFK in the head,
and one in the upper back. Also in the throat, since the SBT was proved
to be dead. Then we have at least one that hit Connally. Then we have on
that struck over the windshield in the chrome bar there. As well, there
was a bullet hole in the windshield seen by 6 witnesses. There was a
bullet that hit the right hand curb seen by 'Steve' Ellis, a DPD cop.
Then there was the bullet that struck over near James Tague where a chip
cut his cheek. Then you have the 2 bullet gouges midfield seen by Wayne
and Edna Hartman, and who were told by a cop that it was from bullets.
Then there was the one picked up by a cop, who never reported it.

That's an example of counting the bullet strikes.

Several of us, including me, corrected you on your very misleading

my best to locate the exact article in which you said these things, quote
you verbatim saying these things, along with the exact Google Groups URL
which irrefutably proves that you did indeed post such an article.
I'm sure I got those numbers from an article in McAdams files, and I
don't remember anything much about them.
No article in his "files" that I've ever seen (and I've been looking at
his website since 2000, starting two years before I first posted to this
newsgroup) specifically says anything even remotely similar to what you
claimed at the time, unless it was an article written by a CT that he
chose to include just to give an alternate viewpoint. And I've already
shown you the very piechart that you referred directly to back then. All
right, let me see if I can find that exchange.

In that article, which was a reply to Anthony Marsh (who in his turn was
"I believe the most recent numbers that John collected using his student
was 34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll, and that
was after he applied his subjective view to some of the counts."
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/shots.htm
Scroll down to the section titled "Definitive Tabulation" and there is
where he explains that his students helped him in this, and to the right
is the very same piechart I gave a link to in the article of mine to which
you are now responding. Nowhere in that entire section, nowhere, does it
say "34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll." It
quite specifically says 31% thought the shots came from the Grassy Knoll
*only*, as in *all* of the shots. You very obviously added a completely
*different* group of witnesses, who are given only as "Other," which are
said there to comprise a mere 3%.

In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.
Welp, as usual there you go again. If you try speaking to me in a
fairly decent manner,
Once again, that is the pot calling the kettle black. You were not
speaking to me in anything even remotely close to what most people would
call a "decent" manner when you falsely accused me of being the same
person as Sandy McCroskey, although you did eventually apologize for that.
But I have seen you many times address other posters here in a manner that
many people besides me would call rude and condescending, so you are
criticizing me for something you do at least as often as I do, if not more
often.
Nope, wrong again. I use that tone and style when I get it from them.

I have indeed, and I've also demonstrated changing of my mind about

As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Well, my experience is that there are more LNs, though it may be they
are more vocal, so more easily recognized.
That also I find to be nonsensical. I've seen plenty of "vocal" CTs here,
and you yourself are every bit as "vocal" as any LN here, unless you are
using a very different definition of "vocal" than the majority of
English-speakers worldwide.
Fortunately, I'm mostly immune to opinions that take shots. What
you've seen is like me, purely opinion. I am indeed very vocal, but I'm
only one. I converse or defend to many LNs almost every day that think
I'm wrong for one reason or another. It's not a new thing for me.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
That was one of the CIA film Analysts, who was interviewed by Douglass
Horne. But he was NOT the only evidence, so please don't get hung up on
that.
It's still worth addressing though. A CIA film analyst, saying
approximately three decades after the assassination that what is now most
often presented as the Zapruder film is not what he recalled from three
decades earlier is hardly anything even remotely close to "solid" evidence
that the film was altered.
That's your opinion. Memory is funny. When a situation is emotional
or very important in some way, memory is enhanced.

There is quire a long list of evidence you'll find in the 4th
volume of 5 on the ARRB, written by Douglas Horne.
And I have seen many people (including at least a few CTs) say that they
find Douglas Horne to be extremely biased or some such thing.
I'm sure he's biased, since he was on the ARRB, and was very close to
the many proofs available there. I'm sure that he was convinced by the
evidence that he saw daily that we're dealing with a plot, and not a 'lone
nut' theory from the WCR. Others with opinions of him are welcome to

It uses hundreds of
pages of proofs that the film was taken to the CIA film lab in Rochester,
NY and altered there.
Ah, but exactly *which* *copy* of the film was taken to the CIA film lab?
Are you going to claim that at the time it was the *only* copy of the
film? Because if there was even *one* other copy of the film at that
time, then "they" would run the risk of an *unaltered* copy of the film
surfacing publicly.
The other copies were also replaced by copies of the altered film.
That may have been facilitated by Life magazine. I'm not sure of the

It was first use to set up briefing boards for the
higher ups, and then after alteration, it was used separately by another
CIA Film Analyst to run more briefing boards for the higher ups all over
again. This was to compare the original film to the altered film to
decided if the work was acceptable. After this when the Life magazine
bought the rights for a exorbitant amount, They NEVER showed the film
again as a movie, always a frame here or there. And yet they paid an

And I've never asked you this question before, I don't think, but I will
do so now, and this applies to *anyone* who claims the film was, ah, um,
It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head.
That is incorrect.
No, it is *not* incorrect. The vast majority of people I have ever talked
to about the assassination, and thousands upon thousands of people I've
never talked to, but whose statements I have heard or seen on the
internet, in newspapers, magazines, on the radio and on television have
said that either the *primary* reason or one of the *main* reasons that
they believe there was a shot from the right front is because of the back
and to the left motion of his head. Nothing else. Just that. Or else
very little except for that motion.
It's interesting how you come by knowledge. You have heard it from many
people, none of whom are named. And again you speak of a "majority" which
has nothing to do with truth.

A tremendously *smaller* percentage
of people have ever said that it *isn't* the motion of the head that has
convinced them that there was a shot from the GK. A *much* smaller
percentage of people say anything at all about the appearance of the
damage to his head in the film, or about the apparent direction of blood
spray. The vast majority of people say it's the motion of his head that
has convinced them, more than any other evidence.

If you will bear with me, I'll show you why it's
believed that the kill shot was from the right front.
Even before I look, I already know that what you're about to show me has
nothing to do with why the *majority* of people who believe in a GK gunman
say they believe this. Remember that the majority of people worldwide who
have any opinion whatsoever on this matter, regardless of what that
opinion is, have not studied the assassination nearly as thoroughly as we
here in this newsgroup. The vast majority have, at the most, in their
entire lives, seen no more than one or two or three documentaries about
the assassination, and/or have read no more than one or two or three
complete testimonies to the WC, and/or have only read, at the most, one or
two or three books about the assassination, and/or get all or most of
their information about the assassination from the movie "JFK." Stop at
least ten adults at random on the street and ask them what their opinion
is about the assassination and if they express any opinion at all, then
ask them how much they have actually studied the assassination, what their
exact reasons are for believing whatever they believe, and what their
sources of information are. I guarantee you that it is a 99% certainty
that you will find that the majority of them give away the fact that
they've barely studied the assassination at all.

I've shown that to many people outside of this forum and most of them
see the same thing, and it's something surprising.
I'm assuming that what you are talking about is the sort of "jagged edge"
that appears to the right (JFK's right, that is, our "left" when viewing
the image) and somewhat above his right eye. If that's what you're
talking about (and it may not be) the unfortunate thing about both scans
of that photo that you and I produced is that that part of his head is so
much in shadow that it is difficult to make out what, exactly, it is.
Maybe to you. But it has to be ENLARGED more than that photo does it.
And I'm surprised that you see a "jagged edge". When you see it under
magnification, it is a clear bullet hole. The raised rim was described by
Vincent DiMaio, and expert in the field of forensics as a fleshy rim that
is present in a bullet wound during hours after the shot went in. The
whole bullet hole also matches an example from his book "Gunshot Wounds"
in Chapter 4 figure 4.16. It is also an entry wound, and not an exit.
The exit is the 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK. The bullet went in the
forehead, and went through the skull, and blasted out the BOH. The old
story, small going in, large going out.
I've shown that photo to many people outside this forum and I did NOT
tell them anything. They immediately said oh, it's a bullet hole, and
that's JFK! But inside this forum, most folks see all kinds of things
except one guy that saw nothing out of place at all, but there's always an
outlier.
Post by Caeruleo
And I could show that photo to people outside of this forum too,
especially to people who have never seen any *other* photos from the
autopsy, and they might naturally say it is "surprising" also.
But of course, since I *have* seen *all* photos of the autopsy that ever
been made public many times in my life, I knew exactly what that was
within the first three seconds of the first time I looked at the link you
provided. It is of course seen far more clearly in this color photo taken
http://images.slideplayer.com/24/6963534/slides/slide_18.jpg
Absolutely wrong! That photo is not showing the item I pointed out.
And just for the sake of interest, most of the autopsy photos we all have
seen were 'leaked', and I believe on purpose to shut up some people. I
can go through some of them and prove they are altered. Particularly the
one showing the BOH as only hair with no holes or other abnormal
conditions.

There was a flap shaped like a triangle that was in front of the right
ear, not over the eye like the bullet hole. And the flap was far too

is also a list of people that saw the bullet hole and commented.

So, if that's what you're talking about (and I've already admitted that it
might not be) I don't see how that indicates that the Zapruder film was
altered. Just like in the film, the majority of the damage is shown to be
in the right hemisphere of his head, and also to be forward of his ear.
Notice I didn't say "all" of the damage; I said the "majority" of the
damage.
The "damage" as it was in Parkland was very different from what the
descriptions were in Bethesda at the autopsy. In Parkland, they noticed
only the large hole in the BOH where the bullet blasted it out. No flap
No, that is not true. The doctors at Parkland did not see a large hole
in the back of the head.

in front of the right ear. The head was handled by a nurse Diana Bowron
who washed the hair and the head and the body. She handled the head, and
if the skull had been cracked like the X-rays show, it would have been
obvious. I've had the experience of handling a head broken up like that,
and you know it immediately that you hold the head. Bowron noted no such
problem, only the 'large hole' in the BOH seen by so many witnesses.

So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
You're asking the wrong person about their motives for some of their
alterations, but some make perfect sense. It was critical to the plotters
that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from
above and behind, and the wounds seem to echo that.
That still does not address what I said. The aspect of the film that is
most *likely* to convince the average person that there was a shot from
the right front is the back and to the left motion of his head, and this
has been borne out ever since the film was first seen by the general
public in 1975. Once again, the vast majority of people who have ever
expressed the opinion that there was a shot from the GK have specifically
said that it is either mainly, or exclusively, because they see his head
go back and to the left. A much smaller percentage mention anything about
the appearance of the damage to his head as their main reason for
believing there was a shot from the GK.
I remember myself that many people made that assumption that back and
to the left and that a shooter had to be coming from the front. Well,
they couldn't have that and quickly they were putting together proof that
the head would go in any direction or even back and to the left based on
where the bullet hit an not where it came from. Nervous effect, or other
foolish ideas were put forward, and after a while they got many people to
accept that the shooter had struck from above and behind, so that Oswald
was implicated.

So once again, your "they" altered an aspect of the film that was far
*less* likely to convince the general public that there was a shot from
the right front, but left intact the aspect of the film that was far
*more* likely to convince them of such a thing.
That's your take on it. Mine is as I've stated.

Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??
I've said nothing about the alteration of the movement of the head.
I didn't say you did. What I obviously *am* saying is that you should pay
more attention to that aspect of the film regarding the overall majority
opinion of the general public as to exactly why they believe there was a
shot from the GK.
Since the Z-film was altered, I don't see much use in using it for many
things, like timings and such. And much of the alterations were state to
have been done to the frame 313 and around that point. Particularly after
313, you'll see a 'blob' at the BOH covering the hole made by the blasting
out of the BOH. It is actually painted on the film on the frames, then
the film is copied to another roll without paint, so that it look like it
was right there in the photo.

You don't see a reason to change it??? You don't see any reason to change

aspect of the film to convince the general public that there was a shot
from the Grassy Knoll???
Post by mainframetech
The majority of
changes were in the 313 area and following.
Which includes the back and to the left movement of his head, the one
single aspect of that film that has convinced the majority of people who
believe in a GK gunman that there was a shot fired from the GK. No other
aspect of that film has served to convince nearly as many people to come
to this conclusion other than the motion of his head.
As I said, they spent a lot of time and effort proving that heads don't
have to go in the direction the bullet traveled. They took care of it
that way.

You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
As per Vincent DiMaio in his book "Gunshot Wounds" mentions that with
rifle shots there can be a "backsplash" from a wound going back in the
direction the bullet came in.
You still continue to evade me.
I guarantee that the last thing I'm going to do is evade you. I'm

I'm evading? Just spit it right out.
Post by Caeruleo
The majority of people, worldwide, who
believe that the fatal head shot came from the GK have never read that
book. They believe this, exclusively, or almost exclusively, because they
see his head going back and to the left in the Zapruder film, and they
very seldom, if ever, cite any other evidence than that.
Are you clear that I am talking about the average person, not the average
JFK assassination researcher?
I recognize that you're speaking again in statistics, how many of
these, or those, etc. You should know that I'm not particularly convinced
by any arguments to do with the 'back and to the left' crowd. The bullet
hole in the forehead does it for me, that matches the blowout at the BOH.

So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.
I can't speak to that.
You mean you *won't* speak to that. There is no "can't" in a circumstance
like this. All you have to do is make the decision to directly address,
in at least half as much detail as I have already done *without* being
asked to do so, which single aspect of the Zapruder film has convinced the
largest number of people that there was a shot from the GK. Altering a
far less obvious aspect of the film is pointless.
Please don't set any limits or parameters on me. I won't hold to them.
As to which part of the Z-film has done the most convincing, I don't know,
though I've seen a lot of people claiming they got their knowledge from
the film, and often they mention seeing the head 'blow up', as they put
it.

Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.
Do you often feel that you are surrounded by "stupid" people? And a
note, the damage to the head of JFK was seen by over 39 witnesses as being
at the BOH slightly to the right occipital area. That list is in the
topic list if you go back far enough. If necessary I can put it out
again. It contains the name of the person that spoke, the words they
spoke, and the location of the context so that can be checked too.

Evasion, evasion, evasion. You continue to absolutely *refuse* to
*directly* address this obvious, glaring, and *fatal* problem with your
scenario: "they" altered the film, yet left intact in the film the back
and to the left motion, the single aspect of the film, far more than any
other aspect of the film, which has convinced millions of people that
there was a shot from the GK.
there you go. You're not listening. The next iteration of this post

And apparently YOU have missed the HUNDREDS of articles that I have posted
to this newsgroup since 2002 in which I have plainly and unequivocally
said that I do indeed believe there was a hole in the back of his head,
and that the Parkland personnel, plus additional persons such as Clint
Hill, were absolutely correct about that. You also have apparently missed
the many articles I have posted here for the past fourteen years in which
I have soundly criticized, and even ridiculed, LNs who claim that all of
those witnesses were "wrong." As I've said to them many times, for
example, the average ten-year-old child, without a day of medical
training, can easily tell the difference between the front of a human head
and the back or rear, and can also easily tell the difference between that
and the right or left side of the head.
I'm glad that you are aware of the hole in the BOH. Hopefully you'll
agree with my assessment that the entry point is the bullet hole in the
forehead I showed you, that went through the head and blasted out the hole
in the BOH. I have indeed missed many articles that you may have posted,
since I came on this scene a lot later than you.

At this late date it is totally unnecessary for me to have ever seen your

There was a bullet hole in the right
forehead/temple area that went through the skull and blew out the BOH
slightly to the right of center.
Coming from the right and in *front* of JFK? The exit damage would far
more likely be somewhere on the *left* of center.
Nope, not this time. If you check the films you'll see that JFK is
slightly turned to the left and presenting the area of the forehead where
the bullet went in, but depending on the location of the shooter, the
bullet could easily go through mostly on the right side of the head and
blow out the BOH slightly to the right occipital area.

posted hundreds of articles here in which I have said I *agree* with those
witnesses.

There was a 'large hole' in the BOH, but many people were fooled into

were also altered. And I'll be happy to show you which ones.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.
Minority or majority have no bearing when one set is better for
explanation than another.
You mean "better" in your opinion. Sorry, that isn't good enough. The
majority very obviously *does* have a bearing in a case like this. When
the majority of experts in a particular subject come to the same
conclusion, it should quite obviously be taken seriously.
Yes, possibly, unless for instance the situation is the one we have
here, with medical panels that were misled and missing photos and X-rays,
and altered evidence. The panels had no chance to make a decent
conclusion. They needed to see what the autopsy team saw, and they needed
to be able to hear what the men of Bethesda had to say under oath. They
had none of that, and they were shown phony drawings by Ida Dox besides
that showed (for instance) a bullet hole in the BOH in the middle of a
fully haired BOH. The bullet hole was drawn in clearly but wasn't on the
real photo that was copied!! Those drawings were used with the excuse
that the family of JFK didn't want anyone to view the real autopsy photos!

Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
If I quoted a percentage, I think it came from an article in McAdams
files.
No. If I remember correctly you specifically cited that exact image of
that exact piechart to back up your claims.

info like that from a McAdams file. But I can't help you further on that.

But you did at one time.
Possibly, but I have no memory of it other than what I've said above.

Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.
I no longer would know. The shot count by bullet strike is what I use
now. If you have an interest I'll list some of them for you.
Please do, since I have no earthly idea what you're talking about.
OK, here's an example. there was a bullet that hit JFK in the head,
and one in the upper back. Also in the throat, since the SBT was proved
to be dead. Then we have at least one that hit Connally. Then we have on
that struck over the windshield in the chrome bar there. As well, there
was a bullet hole in the windshield seen by 6 witnesses. There was a
bullet that hit the right hand curb seen by 'Steve' Ellis, a DPD cop.
Then there was the bullet that struck over near James Tague where a chip
cut his cheek. Then you have the 2 bullet gouges midfield seen by Wayne
and Edna Hartman, and who were told by a cop that it was from bullets.
Then there was the one picked up by a cop, who never reported it.
That's an example of counting the bullet strikes.

No article in his "files" that I've ever seen (and I've been looking at

Scroll down to the section titled "Definitive Tabulation" and there is
where he explains that his students helped him in this, and to the right
is the very same piechart I gave a link to in the article of mine to which
you are now responding. Nowhere in that entire section, nowhere, does it
say "34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll." It
quite specifically says 31% thought the shots came from the Grassy Knoll

In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.

As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Well, my experience is that there are more LNs, though it may be they
are more vocal, so more easily recognized.
That also I find to be nonsensical. I've seen plenty of "vocal" CTs here,
and you yourself are every bit as "vocal" as any LN here, unless you are
using a very different definition of "vocal" than the majority of
English-speakers worldwide.
Fortunately, I'm mostly immune to opinions that take shots.
Translation: you ***BLATANTLY*** ***REFUSE*** to even ***TRY*** to
address, directly and in detail, at least some of the challenges that are
raised to your statements. When have you ever seen me do that? Oh that's
right, never, unless it was at a time when I was neither ***READING***

decade, unless that human does not understand English, or that human is
very obviously mentally retarded, or unless that human has lived for
her/his entire live outside of modern culture, such as in the jungles of
Borneo) I will still explain it anyway. Totally unnecessary to have to
explain this to any human with even *average* intelligence, or even
*average* contact with the modern world, but I shall now do so anyway,
since many of us saw with this most recent presidential election how
absurdly often both Conservatives and Liberals, both Democrats and
Republicans, mindlessly repeated fake news, and who very obviously did not
even ***TRY*** to track down these claims to their original sources..

Refusing, very obviously on purpose, to even *try* to do that is
absolutely shameful. They can at least *try* to do it. Refusing to even
try, is absolutely shameful.

I've never once, not even once, blatantly refused to even try, in this
newsgroup. (Me being absent from all Usenet posting for months at a time
very obviously does not qualify as a "purposeful" refusal.) If just
someone, just anyone, were to dispute me in the slightest on this, I will
of course produce my own past articles here in support of Andrew Mason,
Clark Wilkins, John Hill, Ricky Tobias, Bsrb Junkkarinen, not one of
which, not one, totally subscribed to the WC's version of the events.

Yes, I've noticed you many times sticking to quotes which have still not
yet been irrefutably proven to be accurate. Oh and I'll thank you in
advance to never again reply to me with your trademark "WRONG!" You have
overused that reply far too often. I've seen you do it to many other

standard reply nearly as often as you have.

In addition, it's not "WRONG!" when you in your opinion only say it is.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
That was one of the CIA film Analysts, who was interviewed by Douglass
Horne. But he was NOT the only evidence, so please don't get hung up on
that.
It's still worth addressing though. A CIA film analyst, saying
approximately three decades after the assassination that what is now most
often presented as the Zapruder film is not what he recalled from three
decades earlier is hardly anything even remotely close to "solid" evidence
that the film was altered.
That's your opinion.
Just like it's your opinion that the film was altered. Yet again, as you
have done so many times before, you are criticizing me for something you
have done at least as often as me, if not more often.

And I have seen many people (including at least a few CTs) say that they

I'm sure he's biased,
Wow, you finally, at last, see the light.

Oh, never mind, you are still in darkness. He was biased only because he

"many proofs"??

It's not who or what a person is associated with that determines whether
or not that person is biased, it is instead that person's overall attitude
towards evidence that determines that. My gawd, Chris, you have already
admitted you are far older than me, yet I already knew all this no later

It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head.
That is incorrect.
No, it is *not* incorrect. The vast majority of people I have ever talked
to about the assassination, and thousands upon thousands of people I've
never talked to, but whose statements I have heard or seen on the
internet, in newspapers, magazines, on the radio and on television have
said that either the *primary* reason or one of the *main* reasons that
they believe there was a shot from the right front is because of the back
and to the left motion of his head. Nothing else. Just that. Or else
very little except for that motion.
It's interesting how you come by knowledge.
You have heard it from many
people, none of whom are named.
Nope, what is *genuinely* interesting is why you make the silly claim that
nothing is "true" unless people are named. Oh, so unless every single one
of the ***MILLIONS*** of people who have very obviously said what I claim
they have said are named, it "isn't true" that they said what they said??

Notice everyone, especially you CTs, that Chris "conveniently omits" the
obvious: not nearly all of the people I've talked to have given me their
permission to mention their names, in any context, even if that context
has nothing to do with this assassination, publicly on the internet.
Notice carefully that Chris *also* doesn't mention that many people
consider doing such a thing to be very inappropriate, to put it mildly.
Notice also everyone, that Chris has ***BLATANTLY*** ***IGNORED*** what
***ELSE*** I said, that I have not gotten this only from people I have
talked to myself. He is acting as if he, um, "didn't see" everything

If you will bear with me, I'll show you why it's

Even before I look, I already know that what you're about to show me has
nothing to do with why the *majority* of people who believe in a GK gunman
say they believe this. Remember that the majority of people worldwide who
have any opinion whatsoever on this matter, regardless of what that
opinion is, have not studied the assassination nearly as thoroughly as we
here in this newsgroup. The vast majority have, at the most, in their
entire lives, seen no more than one or two or three documentaries about
the assassination, and/or have read no more than one or two or three
complete testimonies to the WC, and/or have only read, at the most, one or
two or three books about the assassination, and/or get all or most of
their information about the assassination from the movie "JFK." Stop at
least ten adults at random on the street and ask them what their opinion
is about the assassination and if they express any opinion at all, then
ask them how much they have actually studied the assassination, what their
exact reasons are for believing whatever they believe, and what their
sources of information are. I guarantee you that it is a 99% certainty
that you will find that the majority of them give away the fact that
they've barely studied the assassination at all.
On and on about the "majority". It would be useful for you to listen
Yet again, pot/kettle, Chris: you fail to "listen" at least as often as

the image) and somewhat above his right eye. If that's what you're
talking about (and it may not be) the unfortunate thing about both scans
of that photo that you and I produced is that that part of his head is so
much in shadow that it is difficult to make out what, exactly, it is.
Maybe to you. But it has to be ENLARGED more than that photo does it.
Dude, I already did that very thing, years before the first day in your

You mean it's a clear bullet hole in your opinion.

Post by mainframetech
as a fleshy rim that
is present in a bullet wound during hours after the shot went in. The
whole bullet hole also matches an example from his book "Gunshot Wounds"
in Chapter 4 figure 4.16. It is also an entry wound, and not an exit.
In your opinion and his. The majority of experts do not agree with either
you or him.
Post by mainframetech
The exit is the 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK.
The one and only way you can support that is to all too conveniently claim
that the Zapruder film was "faked" or "altered" where it plainly shows the
vast majority of the exit damage being on the right side of his head and
also being forward of his right ear, and you also have to claim that all
of the autopsy photos were faked and all of the x-rays were faked.
Typical CT evasion: when the CT is confronted with things like this, all
the CT has to do is just "say" the evidence was "altered" or "faked."
Post by mainframetech
The bullet went in the
forehead, and went through the skull, and blasted out the BOH. The old
story, small going in, large going out.
A bullet from the right front blasts out the *right* rear of his head???
Nope, it would have blasted out the LEFT side of his head and the MAJORITY
of the exit damage would have been in the LEFT hemisphere of his skull.
The one and only way you can dispute me in the slightest is to directly
contradict what you said above.

Oh, but of course, you'll come up with some sort of typical CT evasion:
you'll claim it was a "frangible bullet" (don't even try to deny it, I've
seen you say this exact thing before), or even more ludicrous, an "ice
bullet" (don't even try to deny it; many of us, including your fellow CTs,
have seen you say that before also).

I've shown that photo to many people outside this forum and I did NOT
tell them anything. They immediately said oh, it's a bullet hole, and
that's JFK!
And these people were well-educated about the JFK assassination...how,

And notice, everyone (most especially you CTs) how Chris didn't NAME these
people, yet above he criticized me for failing to do exactly the same
thing, with no difference whatsoever, that he also failed to do.

Notice I didn't say "all" of the damage; I said the "majority" of the
damage.
The "damage" as it was in Parkland was very different from what the
descriptions were in Bethesda at the autopsy. In Parkland, they noticed
only the large hole in the BOH where the bullet blasted it out. No flap
in front of the right ear.
Of course not. Jackie closed all those flaps during the race to the hospital. Or have you, ah, "conveniently forgotten" that she told the WC that she was trying to hold his head together?

and
if the skull had been cracked like the X-rays show, it would have been

I strongly disagree. It is a well-known fact that JFK had very thick hair which could have *easily* obscured a large opening in the skull. Tell me exactly when Diana Bowron *peeled" *back* *all* of his hair and scalp, all the way, and directly examined the *full* extent of the damge to his skull, when she washed his head. The woman herself never said she did anything even remotely similar to that.
Post by mainframetech
I've had the experience of handling a head broken up like that,
and you know it immediately that you hold the head. Bowron noted no such
problem, only the 'large hole' in the BOH seen by so many witnesses.
You are omitting a great deal here. She did indeed say this:

**********

Miss BOWRON - He was very pale, he was lying across Mrs. Kennedy's knee and there seemed to be blood everywhere. When I went around to the other side of the car I saw the condition of his head.
Mr. SPECTER - You saw the condition of his what?
Miss BOWRON - The back of his head.
Mr. SPECTER - And what was that condition?
Miss BOWRON - Well, it was very bad---you know.
Mr. SPECTER - How many holes did you see?
Miss BOWRON - I just saw one large hole.
Mr. SPECTER - Did you see a small bullet hole beneath that one large hole?
Miss BOWRON - No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER - Did you notice any other wound on the President's body?
Miss BOWRON - No, sir.

**********

Well of course she noticed a hole in the back of his head, since that was merely the rearmost portion of the much larger hole in his skull, the majority of which was covered up by his thick hair and his scalp. Still don't see her saying specifically that when she washed his head, she peeled his hair and scalp back to look at the *overall* damage to his skull. Also she said she didn't notice any other wound on his body. ANY other wound. Not even the wound in his back, which nearly all of your fellow CTs agree was there, even if they don't agree with the LNs on which direction the bullet was traveling which caused that wound, and even when they don't agree with the LNs on the exact position of that wound, almost none of your fellow CTs have ever, even once, said there was no bullet hole in his back, EVEN the ones who say it was an exit rather than an entrance.

So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
You're asking the wrong person about their motives for some of their
alterations, but some make perfect sense. It was critical to the plotters
that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from
above and behind, and the wounds seem to echo that.
That still does not address what I said. The aspect of the film that is
most *likely* to convince the average person that there was a shot from
the right front is the back and to the left motion of his head, and this
has been borne out ever since the film was first seen by the general
public in 1975. Once again, the vast majority of people who have ever
expressed the opinion that there was a shot from the GK have specifically
said that it is either mainly, or exclusively, because they see his head
go back and to the left. A much smaller percentage mention anything about
the appearance of the damage to his head as their main reason for
believing there was a shot from the GK.
I remember myself that many people made that assumption that back and
to the left and that a shooter had to be coming from the front.
Oh, so now you admit it. Earlier in this article you denied it.
Post by mainframetech
Well,
they couldn't have that and quickly they were putting together proof that
the head would go in any direction or even back and to the left based on
where the bullet hit an not where it came from.
Totally irrelevant to the point I made. You are talking only about the people who *disputed* that the back and to the left motion indicated a shot from the GK. You are talking about a totally different group of people that the ones I was talking about.
Post by mainframetech
Nervous effect, or other
foolish ideas were put forward, and after a while they got many people to
accept that the shooter had struck from above and behind, so that Oswald
was implicated.
Totally irrelevant to what I was talking about. Once again, evasion, evasion, evasion on your part. I told you, over and over and over, plain as day, that I was talking about the people who ***DO*** believe that the back and to the left motion indicates a shot from the GK, not the people who don't believe that. Yet another example, to be added to so many previous ones, of you blatantly ignoring what I actually said.

And you, of all people, said above, "It would be useful for you to listen for a change."

That is, quite obviously, advice you need to follow far more than I do.

number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or
that aspect of the assassination.
Well, my experience is that there are more LNs, though it may be they
are more vocal, so more easily recognized.
That also I find to be nonsensical. I've seen plenty of "vocal" CTs here,
and you yourself are every bit as "vocal" as any LN here, unless you are
using a very different definition of "vocal" than the majority of
English-speakers worldwide.

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
That was one of the CIA film Analysts, who was interviewed by Douglass
Horne. But he was NOT the only evidence, so please don't get hung up on
that.
It's still worth addressing though. A CIA film analyst, saying
approximately three decades after the assassination that what is now most
often presented as the Zapruder film is not what he recalled from three
decades earlier is hardly anything even remotely close to "solid" evidence
that the film was altered.
Post by mainframetech
There is quire a long list of evidence you'll find in the 4th
volume of 5 on the ARRB, written by Douglas Horne.
And I have seen many people (including at least a few CTs) say that they
find Douglas Horne to be extremely biased or some such thing.

It uses hundreds of
pages of proofs that the film was taken to the CIA film lab in Rochester,
NY and altered there.
Ah, but exactly *which* *copy* of the film was taken to the CIA film lab?
Are you going to claim that at the time it was the *only* copy of the
film? Because if there was even *one* other copy of the film at that
time, then "they" would run the risk of an *unaltered* copy of the film
surfacing publicly.
It was first use to set up briefing boards for the
Post by mainframetech
higher ups, and then after alteration, it was used separately by another
CIA Film Analyst to run more briefing boards for the higher ups all over
again. This was to compare the original film to the altered film to
decided if the work was acceptable. After this when the Life magazine
bought the rights for a exorbitant amount, They NEVER showed the film
again as a movie, always a frame here or there. And yet they paid an
extreme amount for it.

And I've never asked you this question before, I don't think, but I will
do so now, and this applies to *anyone* who claims the film was, ah, um,
It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head.
That is incorrect.
No, it is *not* incorrect. The vast majority of people I have ever talked
to about the assassination, and thousands upon thousands of people I've
never talked to, but whose statements I have heard or seen on the
internet, in newspapers, magazines, on the radio and on television have
said that either the *primary* reason or one of the *main* reasons that
they believe there was a shot from the right front is because of the back
and to the left motion of his head. Nothing else. Just that. Or else
very little except for that motion. A tremendously *smaller* percentage
of people have ever said that it *isn't* the motion of the head that has
convinced them that there was a shot from the GK. A *much* smaller
percentage of people say anything at all about the appearance of the
damage to his head in the film, or about the apparent direction of blood
spray. The vast majority of people say it's the motion of his head that
has convinced them, more than any other evidence.
Sure, the average public. Not the serious researchers.

If you will bear with me, I'll show you why it's
believed that the kill shot was from the right front.
Even before I look, I already know that what you're about to show me has
nothing to do with why the *majority* of people who believe in a GK gunman
say they believe this. Remember that the majority of people worldwide who
have any opinion whatsoever on this matter, regardless of what that
opinion is, have not studied the assassination nearly as thoroughly as we
here in this newsgroup. The vast majority have, at the most, in their
entire lives, seen no more than one or two or three documentaries about
the assassination, and/or have read no more than one or two or three
complete testimonies to the WC, and/or have only read, at the most, one or
two or three books about the assassination, and/or get all or most of
their information about the assassination from the movie "JFK." Stop at
least ten adults at random on the street and ask them what their opinion
is about the assassination and if they express any opinion at all, then
ask them how much they have actually studied the assassination, what their
exact reasons are for believing whatever they believe, and what their
sources of information are. I guarantee you that it is a 99% certainty
that you will find that the majority of them give away the fact that
they've barely studied the assassination at all.

It would be helpful to post a much larger and more high-resolution scan of
http://www.jfkmurdersolved.com/images/BE3_HI.jpg
Post by mainframetech
I've shown that to many people outside of this forum and most of them
see the same thing, and it's something surprising.
I'm assuming that what you are talking about is the sort of "jagged edge"
that appears to the right (JFK's right, that is, our "left" when viewing
the image) and somewhat above his right eye. If that's what you're
talking about (and it may not be) the unfortunate thing about both scans
of that photo that you and I produced is that that part of his head is so
much in shadow that it is difficult to make out what, exactly, it is.
And I could show that photo to people outside of this forum too,
especially to people who have never seen any *other* photos from the
autopsy, and they might naturally say it is "surprising" also.
But of course, since I *have* seen *all* photos of the autopsy that ever
been made public many times in my life, I knew exactly what that was
within the first three seconds of the first time I looked at the link you
provided. It is of course seen far more clearly in this color photo taken
http://images.slideplayer.com/24/6963534/slides/slide_18.jpg
It is shaped, somewhat, like a triangle, which is more or less "pointing"
toward his right eye, and it is quite obviously an area where part of his
skull is missing, and it goes through part of his right eyebrow. More or
less the same thing is shown in the frontal x-ray of his skull, in which
part of the right side of the skull of his forehead is missing down to
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/apxray.jpg
So, if that's what you're talking about (and I've already admitted that it
might not be) I don't see how that indicates that the Zapruder film was
altered. Just like in the film, the majority of the damage is shown to be
in the right hemisphere of his head, and also to be forward of his ear.
Notice I didn't say "all" of the damage; I said the "majority" of the
damage.
Post by mainframetech
Post by Caeruleo
So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
You're asking the wrong person about their motives for some of their
alterations, but some make perfect sense. It was critical to the plotters
that the case rest completely on a single 'lone nut' shooter, and Hoover
was after that result from the beginning. So it had to be a hit from
above and behind, and the wounds seem to echo that.
That still does not address what I said. The aspect of the film that is
most *likely* to convince the average person that there was a shot from
the right front is the back and to the left motion of his head, and this
has been borne out ever since the film was first seen by the general
public in 1975. Once again, the vast majority of people who have ever
expressed the opinion that there was a shot from the GK have specifically
said that it is either mainly, or exclusively, because they see his head
go back and to the left. A much smaller percentage mention anything about
the appearance of the damage to his head as their main reason for
believing there was a shot from the GK.
So once again, your "they" altered an aspect of the film that was far
*less* likely to convince the general public that there was a shot from
the right front, but left intact the aspect of the film that was far
*more* likely to convince them of such a thing.

Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??
I've said nothing about the alteration of the movement of the head.
I didn't say you did. What I obviously *am* saying is that you should pay
more attention to that aspect of the film regarding the overall majority
opinion of the general public as to exactly why they believe there was a
shot from the GK.

I
don't se a reason to change it, but it could be they did.
You don't see a reason to change it??? You don't see any reason to change
the single aspect of the film that was far more likely than any other
aspect of the film to convince the general public that there was a shot
from the Grassy Knoll???
Post by mainframetech
The majority of
changes were in the 313 area and following.
Which includes the back and to the left movement of his head, the one
single aspect of that film that has convinced the majority of people who
believe in a GK gunman that there was a shot fired from the GK. No other
aspect of that film has served to convince nearly as many people to come
to this conclusion other than the motion of his head.
Post by mainframetech
Post by Caeruleo
You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
As per Vincent DiMaio in his book "Gunshot Wounds" mentions that with
rifle shots there can be a "backsplash" from a wound going back in the
direction the bullet came in.
You still continue to evade me. The majority of people, worldwide, who
believe that the fatal head shot came from the GK have never read that
book. They believe this, exclusively, or almost exclusively, because they
see his head going back and to the left in the Zapruder film, and they
very seldom, if ever, cite any other evidence than that.
Are you clear that I am talking about the average person, not the average
JFK assassination researcher?

So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.
I can't speak to that.
You mean you *won't* speak to that. There is no "can't" in a circumstance
like this. All you have to do is make the decision to directly address,
in at least half as much detail as I have already done *without* being
asked to do so, which single aspect of the Zapruder film has convinced the
largest number of people that there was a shot from the GK. Altering a
far less obvious aspect of the film is pointless.

Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.
I think you have also missed the list I made here of over 39 witnesses
to a 'large hole' in the BOH of JFK.
Evasion, evasion, evasion. You continue to absolutely *refuse* to
*directly* address this obvious, glaring, and *fatal* problem with your
scenario: "they" altered the film, yet left intact in the film the back
and to the left motion, the single aspect of the film, far more than any
other aspect of the film, which has convinced millions of people that
there was a shot from the GK.
And apparently YOU have missed the HUNDREDS of articles that I have posted
to this newsgroup since 2002 in which I have plainly and unequivocally
said that I do indeed believe there was a hole in the back of his head,
and that the Parkland personnel, plus additional persons such as Clint
Hill, were absolutely correct about that. You also have apparently missed
the many articles I have posted here for the past fourteen years in which
I have soundly criticized, and even ridiculed, LNs who claim that all of
those witnesses were "wrong." As I've said to them many times, for
example, the average ten-year-old child, without a day of medical
training, can easily tell the difference between the front of a human head
and the back or rear, and can also easily tell the difference between that
and the right or left side of the head.
At this late date it is totally unnecessary for me to have ever seen your
"list" of those witnesses, since I had already read their statements close
to a decade before you first posted to this newsgroup.
Post by mainframetech
There was a bullet hole in the right
forehead/temple area that went through the skull and blew out the BOH
slightly to the right of center.
Coming from the right and in *front* of JFK? The exit damage would far
more likely be somewhere on the *left* of center.
Post by mainframetech
The list I made has the name of the
witness, the words they said, and the context (link) where it can be
found.
Which I have no need whatsoever to see now since I was already reading
those same statements fourteen years ago. And as I said above, I have
posted hundreds of articles here in which I have said I *agree* with those
witnesses.
Post by mainframetech
There was a 'large hole' in the BOH, but many people were fooled into
thinking that there was only a small bullet hole there. They even made
drawings that fit that scenario to fool people. They released the photos
supposedly of the autopsy, and said they were 'leaked'. Some of those
were also altered. And I'll be happy to show you which ones.
I've already been through all that years ago, thanks.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.
Minority or majority have no bearing when one set is better for
explanation than another.
You mean "better" in your opinion. Sorry, that isn't good enough. The
majority very obviously *does* have a bearing in a case like this. When
the majority of experts in a particular subject come to the same

Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
If I quoted a percentage, I think it came from an article in McAdams
files.
No. If I remember correctly you specifically cited that exact image of
that exact piechart to back up your claims.

But that is overridden by counting the bullet strikes in Dealey
Plaza.
How on earth can someone "count" the bullet strikes in Dealey?
Post by mainframetech
That helps fix the number of shots. Much has changed since you
last were involved. Many proofs have strengthened.
Um, since I "last" was "involved"? How long ago, exactly, do you think I
was "last involved"? The dates on which I post to this newsgroup give no
indication whatsoever as to what *other* dates I study the assassination

But you did at one time.

I no longer try to count
sources or shots by percentage of shots heard here or there. The count if
bullet strikes is what I use nowadays.
And how on earth can anyone count the number of bullet strikes?

Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.
I no longer would know. The shot count by bullet strike is what I sue
now. If you have an interest I'll list some of them for you.

my best to locate the exact article in which you said these things, quote
you verbatim saying these things, along with the exact Google Groups URL
which irrefutably proves that you did indeed post such an article.
I'm sure I got those numbers from an article in McAdams files, and I
don't remember anything much about them.
No article in his "files" that I've ever seen (and I've been looking at
his website since 2000, starting two years before I first posted to this
newsgroup) specifically says anything even remotely similar to what you
claimed at the time, unless it was an article written by a CT that he
chose to include just to give an alternate viewpoint. And I've already
shown you the very piechart that you referred directly to back then. All
right, let me see if I can find that exchange.
https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=alt.assassination.jfk/VKRW9jmuHpY/4cORJbr5BQoJ
In that article, which was a reply to Anthony Marsh (who in his turn was
"I believe the most recent numbers that John collected using his student
was 34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll, and that
was after he applied his subjective view to some of the counts."
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/shots.htm
Scroll down to the section titled "Definitive Tabulation" and there is
where he explains that his students helped him in this, and to the right
is the very same piechart I gave a link to in the article of mine to which
you are now responding. Nowhere in that entire section, nowhere, does it
say "34-35% of the total thought shots came from the Grassy Knoll." It
quite specifically says 31% thought the shots came from the Grassy Knoll
*only*, as in *all* of the shots. You very obviously added a completely
*different* group of witnesses, who are given only as "Other," which are
said there to comprise a mere 3%.

In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.
Welp, as usual there you go again. If you try speaking to me in a
fairly decent manner,
Once again, that is the pot calling the kettle black. You were not
speaking to me in anything even remotely close to what most people would
call a "decent" manner when you falsely accused me of being the same
person as Sandy McCroskey, although you did eventually apologize for that.
But I have seen you many times address other posters here in a manner that
many people besides me would call rude and condescending, so you are
criticizing me for something you do at least as often as I do, if not more
often.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high. I can accept that
it's possible that JFK would react as he did due to a shot from the back
as from the 6th floor SE corner of the TSBD but I can't accept that it's
as likely a reaction as a shot fired from the GK area.
It's obvious the WC new this and tried to keep it a secret. David Lifton
confronted Dulles with this evidence at a UCLA event and Dulles declared
he he had watched the Zapruder film a thousand times and had not seen JFK
go back and to the left, which was an obvious attempt by Dulles to hide
the fact being discussed. Also, nowhere in the WCR and the accompanying 26
volumes is this JFK back and to the left reaction to the shot on frame 313
discussed.
Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
I am now, at least for the time being, replying to you again, Chris, and
Bob, what the Hell is wrong with you? Bad pizza? Did you think he'd ever
change?

that is because back in September you *finally* apologized to me for

As a new entrant to the subject, I'll give you a few things to
contemplate. The forum is mostly what's called LNs, which are hidebound
folks that can't get away from the government story of the killing, and
it's supposedly all laid down in a document called the WCR.
Fascinating. I've been posting here since October 6, 2002, and this
entire time it has seemed to me that there are an approximately equal
number of CTs and LNs who post to this newsgroup, so I find your claim
that it is "mostly what's called LNs" to be, well, rather novel. And as
far as "hidebound" I have noticed that equally often with CTs and LNs;
both, about equally often, espouse their "pet theories" to explain this or

The Zapruder film, called the 'Z-film', was altered. This was proven
by witnesses and by independent analyses.
I have seen you many times claim that it is "proven" that the Zapruder
film was altered, and every single time I've seen you say that, whenever
you've supplied any "evidence" for it, I've only seen you "cite"
"evidence" that I have found to be, shall we say, extremely tenuous. For
example, before I lifted you from my killfile, I saw that another poster
had quoted you as naming some CIA dude as claiming, more than three
decades later, that the "version" of the Zapruder film most often seen by
then conflicted with his recollection of what the head wounding looked
like when he saw the film more than three decades earlier. That hardly
amounts to "proof" of alteration.
And I've never asked you this question before, I don't think, but I will
do so now, and this applies to *anyone* who claims the film was, ah, um,
It isn't the appearance of wounding in the film, almost all of which is
forward of JFK's right ear, that has caused millions of people to believe
that there was a shot from the right front; it is instead the "back and to
the left" motion of his head. So why on earth would "they" "alter" the
part of the film (the sudden appearance of damage forward of his right
ear) that DIDN'T make millions of people think there was a shot from his
right and in front of him, but NOT "alter" the part which HAS made
millions of people think there was a shot from the GK, the "back and to
the left" motion of his head? Why didn't "they" "alter" THAT part, and
make his head look as if it was rocketing FORWARD??
Oh, they're sophisticated enough to "alter" the appearance of the damage
to his head, but suddenly they're "not sophisticated enough" to "alter"
the *motion* of his head??
You know, the aspect of the film which, far more often, for a tremendously
larger number of people, has convinced people to think that that shot came
from in front of him and to his right?
You know perfectly well that a MUCH larger number of people have cited the
MOTION of his head as being one of their PRIMARY reasons for believing
that that shot came from the GK than have cited the appearance of damage
to his head, or the primary direction of the majority of the blood spray
seen in this "supposedly altered" film.
So in other words "they" "altered" the aspect of the film that was *less*
likely to convince people that there was a shot from the GK, but didn't
"alter" the aspect of the film that was *more* likely to convince people
that there was a shot from the GK.
Apparently your "alterationists" were some of the most incredibly
***STUPID*** people who have ever lived on this planet, with far, far less
than average intelligence. Millions of people with no more than *average*
intelligence have said that their ONE AND ONLY REASON for believing there
was a shot from the front was the "back and to the left" motion. I myself
have talked to dozens of such people, and whenever I have told them that
in the SAME FILM it ALSO shows the vast majority of the damage to his head
being forward of his right ear, and also told them that the majority of
the blood spray seen in the film goes forward, nearly all of them have
told me that they never, ever, ever noticed either of those things, no
matter how many or how few times they have watched the film.

You can also get the 4th volume
of 5 on the ARRB by Douglas Horne, who was on the group when they got
newer interviews with many people that hadn't had a chance to talk before.
I find it "fascinating" that you only name Douglas Horne, who is decidedly
in the *minority* in terms of the views expressed by the *majority* of
people who gave statements to the ARRB.

Many of the answers to questions are in those files. Horne spent hundreds
of pages explaining the proofs for the alteration of the Z-film, and he
explains also the technical details of how the film was altered with the
available equipment of 1963.
As I have seen you do so often before, you emphasize whoever disputed the
idea that all shots came from the TSBD, at the expense of all the evidence
that all shots came from a single location. I will remind you, yet again,
of that time when you added together the witnesses who said that ALL the
shots sounded as if they came ONLY from the grassy knoll, plus the tiny,
tiny minority of witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions, and acted as if these were all the same group of
witnesses, when in actual fact, they are two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT groups of
One group said that ALL the shots sounded as if they came from the grassy
knoll and NO OTHER DIRECTION.
An entirely DIFFERENT group said the shots came from multiple directions.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/pdf/McAdams.png
I remember, far too clearly to be mistaken, that you said something like
"34% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from another direction."
Or else you conflated the OTHER group of witnesses, listed as "Other," and
"41% of the witnesses thought the shots came from the grassy knoll and
from at least one other direction."
Ah, but what that chart ***ACTUALLY*** says is that 31% thought that
***ALL*** of the shots came from the grassy knoll ***ONLY*** and that only
three percent thought the shots came from more than one direction. in
addition, "Other" includes witnesses who thought, for example, that *all*
of the shots sounded as if they came from the Triple Underpass and no
other direction.
Several of us, including me, corrected you on your very misleading
statement. Challenge me in the slightest on this, and I will of course do
my best to locate the exact article in which you said these things, quote
you verbatim saying these things, along with the exact Google Groups URL
which irrefutably proves that you did indeed post such an article.
In short, I find you to be just as bad, with no difference whatsoever,
except for the conclusion, as the Warren Commission, CIA, FBI, Secret
Service, etc., who in 1963-64 emphasized evidence of Oswald's sole guilt
and downplayed evidence to the contrary. You do exactly the same thing,
with no difference whatsoever, except in reverse: you emphasize evidence
that more people than Oswald were involved, and downplay evidence to the
contrary. I see no essential difference between you and the Warren
Commission, CIA, FBI and Secret Service. In other words, you criticize
others for something you do at least as often as they do.

I'm relatively new to the JFK assassination topic so I'm here mainly to
learn. So far what I've seen and read is that the circumstantial evidence
linking Oswald to the JFK, Tippit murders is strong. Even the attempted
murder of Gen. Walker has pretty strong links to Oswald. What is not so
strong is the evidence that Oswald was the lone assassin. It is my opinion
that there had to be a shooter from the Grassy Knoll area because the
probability of JFK reacting to a shot by falling back and to the left as
shown in Zapruder frame 313 and beyond is pretty high.
I would suggest you explore *all* the possible reasons for that motion.
One of them would include the irrefutably proven fact that JFK was already
leaning far to his left at the moment of the head shot. This is not at
all obvious in the Zapruder film since he was leaning more or less
directly away from the camera, but it is blindingly obvious in several
other films and photographs taken from the other side of the street.
That, at least, explains the fall to the left: it's called "gravity."

:P

As for the backward jerk of the head before he falls over to his left, the
direction the bullet was traveling does not necessarily have anything to
do with that. Also it can plainly be seen that the vast majority of the
exit damage is forward of his right ear.

Due to the strong evidence of a shot from the front/ right front it's of
probative value there was a second shooter therefore a conspiracy.
If the evidence is so "strong," perhaps you could explain this:

Nearly all of the witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came
from or near the TSBD either specifically said that *all* of the shots
sounded as if they came from that direction, or else named no other
direction in their entire statements.

Nearly all of the witnesses who said the shots sounded as if they came
from any direction even remotely consistent with the grassy knoll either
specifically said that *all* of the shots sounded as if they came from
that direction, or else named no other direction in their entire
statements.

Out of more than 200 witnesses, only a tiny, tiny minority of them
*individually* claimed that the shots sounded as if they came from
multiple directions. In other words, the vast majority agreed that
whatever direction the shots sounded as if they came from, the shots all
sounded as if they came from one single direction; they simply didn't
agree with each other on what single direction that was.

Let me give just two examples to articulate this:

James Jarman, who was very near the eastern end of the fifth floor of the
TSBD, said that his initial impression was that all of the shots sounded
as if they came from below him and to his left, i.e. below him and from
the east. Victoria Adams, who was on the fourth floor, and closer to the
west side of the building, said that all of the shots sounded as if they
came from her right, i.e. from the west, precisely the opposite direction
as that given by Jarman, and of course Adams was more or less giving the
direction of the grassy knoll. And both of them said they heard exactly
three shots. So unless you are about to propose some silly scenario in
which there were six shots, and Jarman only heard three of them, and Adams
only heard the other three that Jarman didn't hear, the reason for this
discrepancy is blindingly obvious: simple, everyday, mundane, tricks of
acoustics.

I will of course find it nearly impossible to believe anyone, CT, LN or
uncommitted, who has lived on Earth for at least a decade, claiming that
they've "never once, not even once," in their entire lives, heard a sound
which initially seemed to come from one direction, and then when the
source of the sound was discovered, it turned out that it came from a very
different direction from that which they originally thought it came from.
This applies to many different types of sounds, such as birds chirping, a
car horn sounding, and to give a supremely powerful example, crickets. I
have long ago lost count of how many times I thought the cricket was in
one location, only to discover, when I actually saw it, that it was in a
very different location from where I initially thought it was when I first
heard it. Anyone who denies having heard that at least once in their
lives is essentially doing the same thing as, whether they admit it or
not, whether they realize it or not, claiming that they "don't know what a
cricket is."

It is a well-known fact that in any area with tall buildings on at least
two sides, it is a common, everyday, mundane phenomenon for many different
types of sounds to seem, at first, as if they are coming from a completely
different direction than the actual origin of that sound.

First, thank you for your response. Second, my apologies to you and the
rest of the gang for taking so long to respond to your posts.

I agree both the Zapruder and Mushmore films show JFK leaning to his left
before frame 313 but that in it self does not explain away JFK's sudden
movement further to the left and backwards. What does explain this sudden
jerk like movement back and to the left is an impact from a frangible
bullet to the right temple, IMHO.

But it does not eliminate the possibility, indeed, the probability.

Yet Parkland Hospital doctors and at least one nurse claim to have seen
just one large hole (exit?)in the rear of his head. I will not argue that
the Zapruder film has been faked but this does bring up an interesting
dichotomy.

Can't explain away earwitness testimony other than to state that it's
probably even less reliable than eye witness testimony. For any of these
two types of testimony to be probative they would need corroborating
evidence. There's plenty of evidence to indicate there were shots fired
from the 6th floor window at the SE corner of the TSBD. The evidence that
corroborates the earwitness shots from the GK area are eyewitness accounts
of seeing puffs or a puff of smoke coming from the GK area behind the
picket fence ( Ed Hoffman, Ed Johnson, S. M. Holland, Austin Miller),
witnesses who saw to a varying degree men in the picket fence area passing
a rifle to another or "commotion", whatever that means, plus unfamiliar
vehicles in the area just prior to the assassination (Lee Bowers)and the
acoustic evidence taken from the open mike from a motorcycle officer
(McClain?)that led the HSCA to conclude a shot was fired from the GK.
There's also what appears to be a fragment of skull found by Jackie in the
trunk of the presidential limo as seen in the Zapruder film, the one found
by Billy Harper which came from the occipital bone of the skull (lower
back of skull), motorcycle officer Billy Hargis being sprayed with blood
and tissue (that he rode into the stream of blood and tissue seems
unlikely as the motorcycle does not appear to be moving any faster than
the limo).

By taking this evidence and that which has pieces of skull also found
inside he limousine plus the spray of brain matter and blood going upward
and forward as seen in the Zapruder film it's difficult for me to conclude
that a full metal jacket bullet hitting the presidents head at an angle
from the 6th floor SE corner window of the TSBD could disintegrate in such
a manner as to only create a wound that comes out only from JFK's right
side of the head, as shown in the Zapruder film, and still leave two major
fragments of the bullet in the front seat of the limo without leaving any
wounds of exit from JFK's face.

This is the same type of ammo which caused several wounds to JFK and JBC,
broke rib and wrist bone and still remained in an almost pristine
condition. This is one hard bullet!

IMHO, from looking at the evidence just sited the only reasonable
conclusion arrived at by an admitted novice into this very interesting
subject leads me to conclude that only a frangible bullet could have
caused the type of damage seen in JFK's skull. His head exploded.
