Wealthy and violent White Council leader Joseph Milteer knew in advance. His JFKA prediction was more presciently accurate with specific details than a truly skilled psychic. Is Joseph Milteer a key to the JFK assassination? On the morning of November 9th, 1963, two weeks before JFK was assassinated, right-wing extremist Joseph Milteer was in a Miami hotel room talking with Willie Somerset, an undercover police informant who happened to be wearing a wire. This conversation was turned over to the FBI immediately, although it would not surface publicly until four years later. Here is what Milteer had to say: [Killing Kennedy] “was in the working” and would be accomplished “from an office building with a high-powered rifle”….that could be “disassembled” to get it into the building and they will “pick someone up within hours if anything like that happened just to throw the public off.” Milteer also mentioned “the Cubans” were involved.

Does anyone here really believe that the Life Magazine owners would ever allow any extra-powers government agency ( nefarious agenda or not ) unfettered access to the Z film, once they purchased it from Abraham Zapruder? Access to do anything with the film they wanted such as this alleged alteration? Or, did the owners protect the sacrosanct integrity of the film with their highest effort security measures?

Now I will have to check this series out too.

RIGHT ON Grand Master Flash DZ! A life and death fearing Oswald walks ( or runs ) down to the 2nd floor employee lunch room, buys and casually drinks a Dr. Pepper ( his favorite soda pop and mine too ) then saunters down to the first floor main entrance lobby where he calmly directs journalist Robert McNeil to a wall pay phone, then walks ( not running ) to the nearest city bus stop, gets on and sits for a few minutes until a stopped in traffic delay inspires him to get off and hail a cab ( 2nd one after gentlemanly allowing a woman to have a first available one ) for a ride back to his little rented room back in Oak Cliff. The cab ride was 95 cents and running for his life LO actually told the driver to keep the nickel change. Then it was off to the races down residential streets ( to where no one knows ) and eventually ending up in a local movie theater where he skips past the entrance ticket booth without paying, yet shells out a quarter for a box of popcorn and settles down in a theater seat albeit initially jumping from one to another to find just the right comfy one. Henry Wade tells the press this equates into weeks and months of planning on Oswald's part? Yes, and Wade also pretended to not know Jack Ruby when a reporter at the first night news conference told Wade at the second news conference ( after Ruby shot Oswald ) it looked like he and Ruby were old friends when the reporter noticed Wade talking one on one with Ruby seconds after the first news conference on 11,22,1963. To which Wade only gave a sheepish childlike "hand caught in the cookie jar" guilty grin. Not even answering the reporter's curious question.

I know I've said it 100 times in posts - how in the world did the Dorothy Kilgallen life and death story avoid being made into an A list film? And being done so within a short time after her death or in the least no more than 10 years? Yet, "never" in 60 years? Impossibly illogical imo. I would have thought one or more major movie studios would have easily seen the screamingly obvious intrinsic appeal to a mass national and even international audience and "fought" for the rights! Her real-life story had all the needed elements ( in spades ) of a major film blockbuster. Highest society level celebrity engagement ( daily ) , unprecedented professional achievement - breaking ( smashing ) traditional barriers for women, national and even international fame and notoriety "on her own" ( national TV star recognition for 10 years ) controversial high drama conflicts ( Frank Sinatra and J. Edgar Hoover ) and in the end an almost Hitchcockian darkly suspicious and mysterious type death. For decades she associated with so many world famous people from every corner of celebrity. Presidents, famous writers, Hollywood glamour. One day she's posing with Marilyn Monroe, the next JFK himself? She even added the extra-interesting label of top criminal case reporter and investigator. Dr. Sam Sheppard trial for murder of his wife and the Jack Ruby Oswald murder trial. Meryl Streep would have ferociously devoured the role of DK. But it's all gone now. Meryl Streep is too old. Generations have passed. Well over half the countries citizens over 18 don't even have a clue about Dorothy Kilgallen, who she was, her remarkable lifetime achievements and her totally suspicious murder with the most high level corruption dark implications. What an important cinematic production opportunity loss.

So, if the Hickey shooting is true, then the first and third shots heard by hundreds in Dealey Plaza as well as many Texas School Book Depository workers such as Junior Jarmen, Harold Norman and Bonnie Ray Williams - missed? And the Hickey shot also came within just inches of blowing Jackie Kennedy's head wide open as well? If Hickey misfired his weapon, are you saying he didn't know that this discharge hit JFK in the head? If he was oblivious, at what point in time did he finally become aware of the results of his errand shot? I would think Hickey might have had a serious mental breakdown at some point in his life If he knew it was his mishandling of his weapon that killed the President of the United States. And he had to go along with the cover-up the rest of his life. Or, maybe not. Self-doubt, guilt and remorse is not always present in the mental make up of people, no matter how brutally destructive their actions may be.

The above is a great and important part of the big "Black Hole" missing biographical information history of the full reality LBJ story. Missing from the mainstream societal and media historical record except for rare mention in extremely obscure and hard to find literary venues and immediately downplayed and disparaged when it is brought out in any media way. Did LBJ hate the Kennedys to a degree of wanting them removed? In the least, to save his own hugely corrupt neck? Does a Zebra have stripes?

Rapheal Cruz Sr. lived in New Orleans at the same time as Oswald and Oswald's NO leaflet passing activity. Same exact age as Oswald. Both born in 1939. Cruz was heavily involved in public Cuban meetings including speaking for years while he was attending college in Texas. He then stops that activity in NO upon moving there just months before Oswald? Same face length and shape. Take off the glasses on the bespectacled Cruz.

In the comparative photos above of Shelley in Dealey Plaza being escorted down to the Dallas PD ( or Sheriffs office?) just minutes after JFK was shot and the one's of a look-alike man standing with Lee Harvey Oswald's New Orleans flyer passing crew in August of 63, I just became aware of the uncanny similarity of the shoes worn by both men. Same exact style, length, width, color, etc. Check out each man's right foot shoe. See for yourself. And note that the time frame of the photos was only 3 months apart.

You mean Oswald's immediate job manager at the School Book Depository up until 11,22,1963? The same fellow who is a "dead ringer doppelganger" to the man shown in the photo of Oswald and helpers handing out pro-Cuba flyers in front of the New Orleans Trade Mart building in August-63? Same height, skinny weight build, sunken cheek face, on the pale side skin color, "exact" same high pompadour hair style and color and similar style and fit suit with white collar and thin tie and even shoe style and color? Right-handed to boot? That Bill Shelley? No way? And it looks like the Shelley look-alike man in the lowest picture is smoking a cigarette. Was Shelley a cigarette smoker?

Of course it is RB? That list is HUGE!

If only someone could come up with more than this small handful list of deep covert characters? Wink! And If I had the funds, I would have the well known full facial photo of the Rip Robertson doppelganger man shown standing on the sidewalk of Houston Street as JFK's limo passes by analyzed by at least one of the most reputable "Facial Recognition" tech companies to see if it is indeed the same Rip Robertson.

I wouldn't know what questions to ask Barr McClellan. What I know of him and his book and story I've gleaned from his videotaped interviews. Everything else I have learned via Robert Morrow. And Billy Sol Estes from Doug Caddy. How much would we "not know" about Ed Clark, the "real " King Pin of Texas political power and his true bond with LBJ if it were not for Barr McClellan? Same with Estes and Doug Caddy's research? Yet, who wouldn't want to hear Barr McClelland tell even more stories of the real Texas back-room power elite and other crimes and corruptions they directed and controlled back in those days? The man has a presence and mesmerizing great trial attorney voice of authority speaking manner one would expect from a man of his background. I picture him living in a rich color wood panel ranch type home with high quality red leather seats, a large stone mantle log burning fireplace and a liquor cabinet stocked with the finest conversation bourbon and maybe even an antique Hemingway style humidor offering Perdomo cigars.

Agree.

Who told Dallas PD Chief Jessie Curry and captain Will Fritz to ignore all advice about moving Oswald unannounced and in the cover of darkness, versus their plan of public time and location in broad daylight announcing and parading Oswald through a narrow hallway and right into a packed, easily security breached camera flashing crush of newsmen?

My observation is that there is a monumentally massive and disturbing black hole in the officially accepted government and academic historical record regarding the true reality level of LBJ's corruption and psychopathy. Even though there are scores of "hintings" of LBJ's life long corrupt doings and connections as well as his known weird, crude and fowl sadistic behaviors in the many bio-tomes of him, these are couched as anecdotal side-stories and presented more to give their subject some humorous color more than any serious weight regarding LBJ's true dark character and crimes. Former Texan power broker Kingpin Ed Clark law firm lawyer Barr McClellan exposed the full weight truth of the LBJ/Clark corruption connection in his 2003 book "Blood, Money And Power." McClellan and his LBJ/Clark bombshell expose however were marginalized immediately and thoroughly by the still highest level and heavily entrenched LBJ false narrative pushing establishment. Ed Tatro informed us of LBJ's murder orders of his most important threat enemies. But how many Americans ever saw or heard his claims and findings? They will never read about this reality in any officially sanctioned publication. Doug Caddy has well exposed the full truth regarding LBJ's criminal partnership with Billy Sol Estes. Others have given us the same regarding Bobby Baker and LBJ. I'm sure there is nothing in the LBJ presidential library that mentions these truths. Another LBJ dark truth is his fathering a son "Stephen" by his longtime mistress Madeline Brown and his surviving family's cruel denial of his true lineage and birth rights. The equally disturbing reality of this corruption truth "Black Hole" in the official LBJ historical biography record is how the American public has for 60+ years accepted this manipulated false reality lie about the true corruption and psychopathy of good ole LBJ with such "who cares " apathy.

We know that a number ( some to perhaps many) of the Dallas Police department's own personnel expressed serious concern and frustration with their building being open to the crush of a frantic press during Oswald's incarceration and questioning there. Lt. Jim Leavell, who liked and made himself available to dozens of interviews in the years following JFK's and Oswald's killings, boastingly described once actually kicking a reporter who had got down between his legs to get a picture of Oswald so hard he went flying! That anecdotal recounting was to emphasize how much of a circus the press crush inside their building had become. Officers having to skip over large TV camera cables, reporters thrusting micro-phones in their faces, pushing themselves up against office windows, cameras flashing ... Leavell and others felt the press crush was a complete circus and ridiculously hindering. It was also so obviously a huge and non-sensical security risk. Every person allowed into the DPD building during Oswald's time there should have been thoroughly screened before entering. Oswald was the most important ( and threatened ) criminal suspect in not just Dallas police history, but American history. Yet, laughably, there are clear photos showing yours truly ( Jack Ruby ) sauntering through the DPD halls with a gun bulge showing through his coat pocket area with complete freedom during Oswald's time there. Who let HIM in? A local tacky strip joint owner with Mafia ties? Ruby is also allowed into a conference room when Oswald was presented to the press crowd and later during Dallas D.A. Henry Wade's question and answer presentation? Seeing that frantically shouting press crush right inside the DPD building seemed so illogical ( even to me as a 12 year old ) as I watched it all take place via constant watching of live feed national TV coverage. Oswald's escort guards had to very aggressively push and shove their way through that crush in moving Oswald from room to room. DPD Chief Jessie Curry many times offered this ridiculous explanation to the press who themselves wondered why Curry was allowing them so much close up access right inside their own building. Curry said he wanted the American people ( the world? ) to see that they were treating Oswald well physically. That they weren't abusing him in any way. Really? Speaking for myself...I didn't need to see Oswald paraded and jostled around through that press madhouse to know he wasn't being abused by the DPD. I am certain the huge majority of Americans watching that scene on live TV didn't either. I would expect that for Oswald's own security he would not be exposed as openly as he was. I figured that if Oswald wanted to make any public statements in his defense, he would do so through an attorney or even via a police department public relation spokesperson. Curry's open frantic press crowd access excuse was ridiculously illogical considering the importance of Oswald's protective security. Oswald was the most important criminal suspect in American history, as well as the most threatened criminal suspect in American history. 100 million average American citizens knew this fact. They ( I ) would understand if Oswald was not brought out like he was to be jostled about through a crushing crowd of manic shouting reporters. Yet, if that Oswald security risking circus of press crush madness ( with Jack Ruby himself running to and fro amongst it ) wasn't suspiciously and illogically bad enough...it was topped off with the Sunday morning transfer of Oswald that took Curry's Oswald's security plan to a level of absolute craziness. The public is given a general time frame and location notice of Oswald's transfer. It is done in broad mid-morning daylight. Again, Curry allows another body crushing, yelling and blinding flash and bright TV camera light crowd right inside the tight space basement garage and just feet away from Oswald and his two side guards ( Oswald's front is wide open exposed) and again...our favorite strip joint owner Jack Ruby is right there at the front of the line where with just a lunge he gets within inches from Oswald's body where he plugs a can't miss shot right into Oswald's gut. Mayhem ensues. Ruby is wrestled to the ground. Oswald is dragged back down the hallway. It takes minutes to get Oswald on a stretcher, the huge armored car moved and an ambulance down the ramp where a major internal injury trauma Oswald is finally lifted lifeless looking into it for the several minute drive to Parkland. Curry and Captain Will Fritz were both warned repeatedly by their own fellow staff people to only move Oswald at night and unannounced to the general public. No. we will do this our way was their response to those totally logical and sensible advice offerings. No deep research needed to realize what Oswald's impossible murder was about.

Did you watch Ruby shoot Oswald on live TV like me BC?

If we never know "who exactly" did JFK ( and RFK and MLK ) one thing "I will know" and take to my grave: It was a conspiracy. I watched Jack Ruby blast a hole into Lee Harvey Oswald's guts "live" on national news TV the morning of 11,24,1963. From that second in time to this one...I knew in my soul that there was no way Oswald could have been gunned down right inside the DPD building with 70+ highest security minded in DPD history armed police personnel all around without someone on the inside allowing it to happen. That killing was clearly way beyond simple security negligence. The DPD lost the most important ( and most threatened ) criminal suspect in American history ... again right inside their own building? Ruby's impossible access to do what he did in that scenario is the most obvious proof that Oswald was allowed to be assassinated. I can read 1,000 JFKA conspiracy theory books ...and all of them combined will never be more convincing than what I witnessed that November 24, Sunday morning. I trusted my gut instincts ( even at 12 years old ) that much then, and still today at 72.

I believe I heard Leavelle say this in an interview as well. Many DPD cops could care less about JFK's brutal slaughter that day. Because of his ( JFK's ) liberal stance on segregation.

Oswald liked going to the movies. Marina testified he would take her to them occasionally and he would even go by himself. And I would guess that Oswald (like all young American boys raised in the 1950's) went to see the movies. Starting at the age of 5 or 6 I did that exact thing. And by myself. Our local theater charged only 25 to 35 cents. Weekends were great. Double features with 20 minutes of cartoons in between. Hercules films with Steve Reeves, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Abbott and Costello, cheap special effects Japanese monster movies like Godzilla and Mothera. Lots of traditional monster movies like Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man... giant ants, giant crabs, giant tarantula... "The Incredibly Shrinking Man" ... the BLOB ... you name it. My mom would give me a little extra to buy candy and popcorn. My teeth rotted out from eating things like sugar daddys, rollos, Nickos, JuJu Bees, etc. every weekend for years. Chugging Coke. I probably became a diabetic to a degree by my teen years I think. One day in the packed weekend kiddie film show some sadistic minded kid threw his sugar daddy at the screen in the middle of the movie. It stuck right there in the middle. The theater manager/owner was so mad he left it up there the rest of the day. My point being that going to the theater was for sure a regular entertainment thing for Oswald from a very young age as was typical in those days. Heck, Oswald was apparently so relaxed when he got in and found a seat he decided to make it a real treat and buy some popcorn to boot. He already drank a Dr. Pepper just 1 and 1/2 hours earlier in the lunch room of the TXSB depository building...so that may explain his not getting another with his popcorn? Some rational points to consider... don't you think?

I've actually laughed thinking about how the Texas Theater became DPD response Grand Central station at rush hour so quickly. Yes, Tippit had been shot just minutes before and JFK just one and a half hour earlier...and the DPD was in all out frantic BOLO alert mentality mode. Still when the shoe store manager/salesman called in and/or one of the theater employees called in...they simply mentioned that a man who was acting suspiciously walked by the shoe store and then went into the movie theater without paying. They didn't tell the police..."hey, I think the man who shot JFK and Tippit might be sitting in the theater seats? The DPD BOLO radio dispatches were not heard by the public. The news on the radio didn't broadcast a general public warning like that as well. The shoe salesman didn't hear about the Tippit shooting. He didn't hear that the police were looking for a 30 year old, 5 foot - ten inch JFK assassination suspect running the streets of Oak Cliff. Yet, in just minutes everybody from everywhere were racing to the theater. Heck, even Hugh "Clark Kent" Aynesworth flew down there in just minutes of the initial employee call in.

Coming from your eloquent self Joe, I take that as a great compliment. Me? Eloquent? Ha! I'm just grateful the forum tolerates my uneducated layman, surface coverage postings.

Excellent.

It's easy to be lulled into the Ruby as simple small time "tacky strip joint owner who did nothing more nefarious than beat the holy crap out of unruly Carousel Club customers and cursing cat fight with his stripper girls over pay" camp of thought. It's true Jack Ruby "was" intelligent enough to start up and run such an enterprise ( although it was always running in the red ) and along with his sister Eva had done so with other Dallas area clubs for several years going back into the early 50's. It does take some initiative and responsible business acumen to do that for years. Ruby paid his bills, paid his rent, paid his many employees including his band, took care of advertising including newspaper ads, pictures and billboards, found, protected and paid his girls, promoted his club with almost manic business card passing, kept a consistent compliance relationship with the cops and Vice squad. His business was lurid naked women displaying and cheap booze pushing but he did it with what he perceived as class and well enough to at least keep in business for many years. He and his brothers also dabbled in other side business ventures throughout their lives like the twist board and whacky plaques, etc. There was a streak of enterprising drive in their DNA. Ruby also kept himself physically fit. Didn't smoke or drink. Maintained a consistent bond with his religious faith. Very lovingly cared for his dog Sheba. Seth Kantor's well researched book "Who Was Jack Ruby" however proved there was much more to Jack Ruby than all of the above and that anyone had ever found and reported before, especially our major news organizations. No one of responsible truth digging responsibility ever gave this super important subject the research it deserved, except Seth Kantor. The Warren Commission didn't want to know more about Jack Ruby than what the FBI was willing to provide to them. Imagine if Kantor's "Who Was Jack Ruby" research findings had been open testimony presented to them in their investigation? Imagine also if Kantor had not done his research work and written and published his seminal tome on the "real" Jack Ruby? To this day no one would know what Kantor discovered and revealed about Jack Ruby - the real truth. And the following Warren Commission summation report finding is one of the most integrity invalidating of all: They chose to believe the testimony of highly mentally unstable Jack Ruby over a highly respected and achieving journalist Seth Kantor, who told them under oath that Jack Ruby had engaged him in conversation while they were both present at Parkland hospital during the time JFK was there. The Warren Commission actually stated that Seth Kantor was simply too over-excited to think straight and remember coherently his meet up with Jack Ruby at Parkland that epically historic afternoon! That false finding alone just chills you. Jack Ruby was into so much more than putting strippers on stage, getting into cat fights with them, beating the tar out of drunk, loud and stage runway ankle grabbing customers and bringing in deli sandwiches to the Dallas PD late at night from time to time. The real Jack Ruby is there for all to see through Seth Kantor's book..."Who Was Jack Ruby."
