I agree with you Joe, I believe he was too. I won't say that he actually shot JFK, but I believe he was involved somehow.

I just finished reading Treachery In Dallas by Walt Brown, and found it quite illuminating. From the Analysis section of the chapter "The Right and Other Wings" p87: Groups and individuals cited in the foregoing narrative certainly had no affection for John Kennedy or his policies, and occasional violence had been known to be a method employed by such groups. It is possible that in their loathing of Kennedy, added to the potential willingness to embrace a Texan president, some elements cited above may have been the final catalyst--not just infiltrators in the Kennedy assassination. It should also be noted that such groups are based on the "good old boy" network, which guarantees a code of silence among all even if there are transgressors in their midst. Several good old boys made plans in Texas, and one good old boy became president. Other good old boys "investigated" the event. And it must also be noted that the Dallas law enforcement community was an additional dependable group of good old boys. One of the unspoken keystones in all of this is the Walker shooting, seen by many as a red herring. If Oswald shot at Walker, how could any subsequent alliance include both Walker and Oswald? Since everybody knew Oswald was involved, Walker could not have been, so the thinking goes. (Continue to bear in mind the premise of that logic.) Although Walker testified that he did not believe it was Oswald who shot at him, it is equally easy to imagine a shot fired into an empty room in the Walker residence to divert suspicion from a group that would be active later in the year.

I would think he didn't draw his gun because he knew the person(s) he stopped to talk with. Thst suggests either some collusion, or at least familiarity. Then unwitting, gets thrown under the bus.

Wow! Apparently I've been doing it wrong all these years!

I'm currently reading Treachery in Dallas, having just started it this past weekend. Fascinating stuff. Brown zeroes right in on the DPD.

In Franklin County, a Global Arms Dealer Quietly Makes a Killing https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/in-franklin-county-a-global-arms-dealer-quietly-makes-a-killing/Content?oid=2242701 https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/gunrunners-mexico/vermont/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_International_Arms https://www.centuryarms.com/ http://jfklancer.com/carcano_twin.html

For me, it shows extremely desperate circumstances, where the risk is worth it. In relation to what Michael Clark was saying, I can see a job being contracted out to scrappy indiviuals, but I question whether an extremely important, high value target job would be handed to scappy individuals where the potential for failure could be high(There's a certain amount risk in any operation, no matter who's pulling it off). There would have to be multiple contigencies in place ready to go, as well as fall guys, if said job failed. If the target survies, it gets even harder. Investigation, evidence, press, etc., all have to be controlled and managed.

Jason, As Paul said earlier, good to see you back again. If someone with close access wanted to take JFK out quietly and covertly, that could have been easily done. One could also say that the open and public manner of the operation was by design and intended as an example. Does that mean it was by those without close access? Certainly possible as you said. Things to ponder. Everyone have a safe and happy New Year, and see you in 2018!

Which absolutely could not be allowed to happen and is why Oswald had to be killed real quick.

I did not intimate any such thing, Paul. No, I do not think you have anything against France. I happen to feel similar about your objections to his book.

Lionel, I'm a conspiracy realist and feel differently about the assassination than you do, but that's ok. My thoughts are similar to Glenn's, I'm sorry you didn't have a different greeting.

Thanks for posting, Doug. Some interesting footage I hadn't seen before.

Thanks for the info Ernie, I'm sure I wasn't looking in the right area. The extra cost is not in my budget right now, unfortunately.

Thanks for posting these Ernie. I'm interested in looking at the Gerald L.K. Smith papers, as I'm currently reading his book "Besieged Patriot", but in checking the link, the papers are only for use at the U of MI Library, and unfortunately I'm not going to MI to do that, especially this time of year.

I would think a head shot from the south side would direct brain matter/blood over the right rear of the limo and toward the sidewalk, not to the left rear. I could see the throat shot from the south more likely than the head.

I've never been one for a shot from the South Knoll, as I think the matter trajectory would have gone over the right rear of the limo and toward the sidewalk. I've always leaned heavily toward a North grassy knoll shot, and while it has a good, somewhat oblique angle from the right front, it is also a bit of a downward angle. While that could account for a back and to the left, I think it would have driven Kennedy more down into the seat. Instead, we have a bit of a lift and back to the left, suggesting an upwards trajectory, pointing to the sewer drain, just as Ray mentioned with Tom Wilson's statement. I'm not completely sold on it, and am also considering the other storm at the confluence of the fence and overpass.

To me it looks like a sloppily written "French Gunman"

Chris, That's the photo I recall seeing, thanks for posting. I understand that work was done on the drain and channels some years ago, and the openings were large enough for someone to go through down to the Trinity river. Photos of the western feeder from 1963 would be great to see, although I doubt there are any in existence.

Sewer Shot in JFK Assassination https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/JohnJudge/sewerShot.html

Any photos showing 1963 pavement level before the add-on, giving a much wider opening? I'm pretty sure I've seen a photo somewhere showing older and newer pavement put on top.

I understand Angleton drank alot, and Harvey as well. So who knows?

When I click on the link, a new browser opens with the story, and the page keeps refreshing every 3-4 seconds. I can't read it. ?

I was born in 1971. I'll have to ask my mom, I know she was in college at the time. My dad passed away 2 1/2 yrs ago, so I can't ask him. Dad was a career man in the Air Force and met Gen. LeMay once.

Jason, You're at ASU, very nice. I lived in Phoenix for several years, spent a lot of time in that area. I'm looking at soon starting Besieged Patriot, Autobiographical episodes exposing Communism, Traitorism and Zionism from the life of Gerald L.K. Smith. Should be interesting. The work you're doing at ASU sounds very impressive. Good job.
