I purchased both volumes and am reading the first one. I am an extremely slow reader however. Hopefully I can eventually get through it. Also, I am going through some extremely debilitating medical issues the last few months which distract me from reading more than a few pages at a time. Just from what I have read however I am intrigued about the Air Force command involvement which I had never come across before. Le May especially.

Everything is just too simple. I always wondered why Oswald kept a pistol and bullets amongst his personal effects. On the surface it appeared he didn't need one like 90+% of low income and working class people back then. A rifle was much more common due to the popularity of hunting. Was a permit required to own a handgun back then? Oswald didn't hang around criminal types. His work never entailed associating with characters like that or others who might harm him or his family. Why the gun? Now Jack Ruby needed a handgun. Along with brass knuckles. He did associate with some dangerous characters. One would think Oswald's rooming house manager Earline Roberts might have seen the gun in her occasional checks of his room if she was kind of snoopy. I assume Oswald didn't hide the gun well. His dinky room had what ... one small dresser? His one duffle bag in the small closet? However, she told the police she didn't ever see the gun so it seems she did respect his privacy in that regards. The first thing Oswald did upon returning to his North Beckley room after taking a cab there around 1:00 PM was to rush by Ms. Roberts without responding to her short comment, go into his room, change clothes and arm himself with his loaded gun ( with extra bullets ) and bustle back out to begin his fast walking journey to who knows where. It seems obvious Oswald knew he was about to be in a life-and-death situation and he wasn't going down without a shoot-em-up fight. Oswald's ownership of the handgun and keeping it close to his personal belongings tells me Oswald was up to things much more nefarious and personally dangerous than even Marina knew about. IMO, he had "some" involvement with the JFK shooting. To what degree? Enough that he knew and feared "others" would kill him right after if anything went wrong. And something had gone wrong with the shooting plan ( his escape ) and he knew it. He was running for his life. I know this is a simple assessment... but Oswald did things simply, often "too simply." Mostly because he was of the lowest income even poverty class, often unemployed and barely made enough when he did work ( minimum wage ) to basic needs provide for his family. A car and TV were beyond his income means. He ( and his wife and child ) got around on buses and simply walking? Even the Walker shooting was city bus transport. Oswald needs Wesley Frazier and Frazier's constant battery dying junky car to transport him and his disassembled rifle to his work place the morning of 11,22,1963? He wanders around in the building by himself most of the late morning and during the noon lunch break? He then simply walks right out of the TXSBD building minutes after the shooting and jumps on a city bus? Held up in traffic he jumps off and hails a cab to get to his rooming house. His fare is 95 cents and he tells the driver to keep the extra nickel change from a dollar bill which is a highly unusual thing for the notoriously frugal Oswald. He leaves his rooming house on foot ( again without looking at Earline Roberts or responding to her questions) and ends up walking a mile or more to an Oak Cliff main street movie theater where he then walks in without paying and once inside keeps getting up and changing seats enough times others in the theater notice his doing so. Soon enough Oswald is in a brawl with DPD officers and yelling "it's all over now" ??? The whole Oswald behavior action thing right after he leaves the TSBD building is too scatter shot to make any sense out of it except to look at it as a simple running-for-his-life mind-set scenario. The question is ... who was Oswald fearing in this desperate run? The police or nefarious others who were part of the plot? This isn't Ian Fleming or even E. Howard Hunt sophisticated spy novel stuff. Peanut butter sandwich eating, 8 dollar a week room renting, Montgomery Ward dressed Oswald was no Savile Row tailored, brandy sophisticate " I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois", exotic beauty surrounded James Bond. John Wilkes Booth had a better escape plan and several compatriots. Yet...raggedy torn shirt wearing, bus taking Oswald manages to defeat an Army of armed security all by himself and take out a President who they are surrounding in broad daylight with the cheapest and least accurate rifle available? Simple luck? Too simple.

Of course. Same goes for people of wealth. Stable genius.

Who was the director who was found dead in his little boat after going out for his daily morning sail? Now THERE'S a fishy event death if there ever was one.

Agree.

Agree.

"He did work for a used car lot." Ha! Is there any more bottom-of-the-barrel sales position than that of "used car salesman?" It's always been a traditional American cultural joke that there is no lower integrity sales job. Lower than building lots in the desert, life insurance to the near-death elderly, refrigerators to Eskimos, you name it. One could be a convicted felon and be hired to sell used cars without even submitting a resume. My brother once traded in a junker to a used car salesman. The very next buyer of that car had the engine blow up with huge plumes of black smoke billowing right in the middle of an intersection within two days of purchasing it. That furious buyer threatened the used car lot seller to give him his money back ..."or else." The used car seller did a background check on the car and called up my brother in a screaming rage ..."Hey you SOB...you didn't tell me you bought that car from a junkyard!" My brother chimed back..."you didn't ask!" Same answer FBI agent James Hosty gave when asked by a later JFKA hearing committee why he didn't tell the Warren Commission he destroyed his Dallas office's Oswald file the day of Oswald's killing by Jack Ruby...."they didn't ask!"

That is a remarkable and potentially bombshell quote by Ruby. Of all the statements Ruby made after his conviction, this one really stops you as it is a direct indictment of LBJ in the JFKA. There is no debate about it's message. It begs you to ponder the motivational genesis of it. In what possible way could Ruby think making a public statement like this would benefit him? There is no logic in that mindset. Was this proclamation of LBJ direct guilt in the JFKA just the ramblings of an extremely mentally deranged Jack Ruby? Ruby did say this to the world. It's part of the Jack Ruby truth. One has to at least consider it's possible ramifications. E. Howard Hunt also placed LBJ ( and Cord Meyer) in the initial decision making process. Was Hunt nuts too like Jack Ruby? In Hunt's case it's easier to consider a motive of financial gain after his death. Hunt was broke. He had nothing to leave his family. Perhaps he thought that a book deal or even movie deal might be presented to his children ( especially his wayward son Saint John ) inspired by his earth shaking claim that LBJ had something to do with the JFKA?

Isn't this exactly what Robert Morrow has been presenting for years?

People who don't believe the Warren Commission JFKA lone gunman finding are conspiracy kooks? They see conspiracies around every building, bush, tree and rock? Do you realize how many conspiracies Huckster Carlson ( alone ) has been promoting in just the last year? His podcast should be titled "Conspiracy Central." Here is a thought I ponder from time to time: If the Alien/ET presence story is true, whoever holds and controls the complete folder on this subject / secret is truly the most powerful group on Earth. They are able to keep this secret from anyone. Their "need to know" access and clearance on this subject is higher than any elected ( or self-appointed ) leader on Earth. It is not totally illogical to wonder if they might even have clearance to eliminate anyone ( no station exempted ) if they feel they would be a threat to their losing ownership and control of this particular secret. In this regards...this group is higher in authority power and control than any world nation leadership. Again, if the Alien/ET presence story is true...the content of it could change every aspect of human existence on this Earth to degrees ( good and bad ) the average human being might not be able to fathom or mentally handle.

Sometimes it makes more sense to just go back to the simplest look at the reality of America in 1963 regards the most powerful groups and individuals who owned and controlled the majority of it's wealth, political, military and intelligence agency influence and policies, and to honestly and responsibly acknowledge and understand how truly powerful they were and how everyone of them felt JFK and RFK were "the greatest threat " to their status quo. JFK was truly...their mortal enemy! Organized crime ( massive wealth and influence nationally and even internationally. ) Texas oil ( richest men on Earth at that time) and everyone connected to them including corrupt politicians both in Texas and D.C., especially LBJ. Throw in Hoover, McCloy and so many others. Eastern establishment wealth and power. McCloy and others. Old school Intelligence agency power and influence. Dulles, Angleton, Cabell, the whole cabal. How much did Dulles hate JFK both before and especially after he was insultingly fired by him? "He thought he was a little God!" Top military generals like Lemay and Lemnitzer and probably most of the military high command. Massive, well established corporate interests made hugely rich by good-ole-boy government contract influence that JFK was not a part of. Include those with international business wealth like United Fruit, Pepsi and hundreds of others. JFK's anti-Pax Americana ideology was anathema to them all. Hundreds of thousands of hot-headed Cuban expatriates who blamed the BOP on JFK and wanted his head. Tens of millions of raging hate filled segregationists who considered liberal racial policy JFK and RFK their worst enemy ever. The most powerful and wealthy segregationist organizations were run by super aggressive extremists types ( Joseph Milteer? ) who wanted JFK dead. Not countered and/or politically marginalized ..."dead!" There's even more. All of these America based JFK hating and fearing groups breathed a sigh of interest protecting relief when JFK was removed...with many of them even celebrating his death. "Life in the Murchison household was joyous when JFK was killed. Like the champagne and caviar flowed for a week. I was the only one who grieved for JFK and his family." Live-in Virginia Murchison seamstress/housekeeper Mae Newman. One can imagine the mood in the Bill Harvey household ( Harvey was CIA chief in Rome at that time) upon learning of JFK's death. Harvey's widow in a later life interview related her and her husband's deep hatred for not just JFK but his wife and RFK too. Ms. Harvey described them as "real scum." At the same time Ms. Harvey recounted her husband's deep affection and respect for their great friend Mafioso Johnny Roselli. "My husband used to say that if he were in a jam..."Johnny" would be the one he'd want riding shotgun with him." Crazy, seditious minded talk I know...but true! JFK was looked upon as a threat more and hated more and his death wished for more ( and celebrated more ) by so many super wealthy, corrupt and powerful interests in this country well beyond any foreign country and their leaders and people. In total much more a suspect motivation factor in the consideration of who gained the most by his removal...imo anyways.

I'm sure it will be moved. However, since it's still here in the forum let me say that if Trump's court grants him even limited immunity regards Trump's efforts to over-turn the 2020 election, folks...we will have the most corrupt and constitutional crisis initiating Supreme Court in our history. I wouldn't doubt that if the SCOTUS lets Trump off the hook for one of the top two most egregious constitution violating presidential crimes in our history ( attempting through violence, intimidation and false electors to overturn the 2020 election ) there will be massive public protests demonstrations all over the country...as there should be. And how Billionaire bought and paid for Justice Clarence Thomas hasn't been forced to recuse himself from any decisions involving Trump and his election subversion crimes let alone being kicked off the court entirely ... is a dark, dark mark in the history and integrity of the SCOTUS.

There it is.

I've stated this several times over the years. If Russia and/or Cuba were really behind the JFKA our military and intelligence people and LBJ himself would have known this. Okay...if so, what would you think their response would be or should have been in a retaliatory sense? The action of killing ( or even organizing his killing...even through a Manchurian Candidate ) our sitting President is about as egregious an action one could imagine one adversarial nation perpetrating against another... debatably an act of war! LeMay and other top military people had to be restrained from promoting or even considering a "first strike" action against the Soviets during the Cold War. I think those Dr. Strangelove mentality characters would have wanted a justification event to occur to promote their most aggressive agenda. What better justification event could there be than the killing of our president? So, the fact that this super retaliatory scenario was not even reported in any well documented way by the Generals known for holding that sentiment suggest ( to me anyways ) that they knew the Soviets and Cuba were not the perpetrators of the JFKA. And even if any first strike talk was struck down despite Russia and Cuba being involved and we knew it...don't you think we would still have hammered the Soviets and Cuba in some other massive ways to retaliate for their ultimate act of war action against us? Yes, for the next 5 decades we kept Cuba in a hugely enforced international trade blockade lockdown economically but no more than before the JFKA. Our undermining actions against the Soviets were no more aggressive than before the JFKA. I cannot believe that we didn't know whether the Soviets and Cuba were behind the JFKA. I sense we knew they weren't.
