I believe there are no coincidences. There were too many "odd" characters and events in the precise location of the assassination to have them ALL happen simply by chance, with the UM and DCM at the top of this list, which I'm sure is incomplete: - UM (signalling by moving the umbrella up and down) - DCM (signalling by pumping his fist up and down and possibly by radio) - The older man (overcoat and hat) and older woman (dress, overcoat with purse) filmed strolling casually EAST up Elm away from the gunshots and confusion and while a mass of people is running towards the GK; these two haven't been investigated and are deeply suspicious (I'm not sure what film they are in) - The seizure event / ambulance at Elm and Houston a few minutes before the assassination - The yellow painted stripes on the curbs of Elm just at the location of the headshot - no where else - Drunk male at Elm and Houston who was considered a suspect as I recall - Power outage(s) in TSBD Just a few, I'm sure there are more; no way all these are simply coincidences. Thanks

Jim, I'm not sure which was arrested by the police at the Texas Theater, Harvey or Lee, while other was led out of the back of the theater. If the back of the theater Oswald was "Harvey", does his trail end with the Robert Vinson story? Do you have any info on his ("Harvey's") trail from the back of the theater, to the makeshift field near the Trinity River where Vinson's encounter begins, and afterwards? Thanks

Has anyone tried to correlate the provenance of JFK's body, being moved from the ornate casket on AF1, the journey it took all the way to the start of the official autopsy at 8:00 ET with the actions and story of John Liggett? I haven't seen the modification of JFK's body pre-autopsy mapped and coordinated with Liggett's possible involvement. Thanks

I think it is very important to note two alterations here: one being the black blob to conceal the occipital exit wound that was seen by many at Parkland, and two being the huge red - orange flap added to the right temple area which NO ONE saw at Parkland.

Ron, Just for accuracy's sake, the film Dino received on 11/23 was an "8mm slit film" (the developers had to slit the 16mm film in half to develop it). The film received on Sunday was an "16mm unslit film", according to Doug Horne. When the developed original was sent to Hawkeyeworks, it was an 8mm slit film, as were the 3 copies, ready for projection. The 16mm unslit film could only have been manufactured in Hawkeyeworks which was not able to be projected. The camera original 16mm unslit film was slit in Dallas by Kodak to develop the 4 (1 original and 3 copies) 8mm films. Thanks

As long as the topic is airplanes - maybe it would be beneficial to include the research around Robert Vinson's experience: https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/25901-two-oswalds-in-the-texas-theater/page/30/#comment-406900 Thanks

Other two factors in the ammunition topic are these: Why would the clip be partially loaded? It holds 6 rounds, but only 4 are found. With the most important target in the world, why would someone partially load the clip? Why / how would someone be so sure of their target and where the bullets were going to hit to load in one clip - in reverse order - ammunition with the specific types of bullets based on their use: FMJ to penetrate both JFK and JBC and be found virtually intact (544) and then frangible / JHP ammo to expand into the cloud of fragments found in JFK's skull? Being a firearm owner myself, every magazine is loaded with one and only one type of ammunition, 99% of the time from the same manufacturer. This to me is strong evidence of multiple firearms being used. Similar question can be asked of the pistol and casings from the Tippet murder - multiple manufacturers. Thanks

I have two comments on this. 1. The synchronization for the shooters/spotters was managed in real time by three signals: a) umbrella man moving the umbrella up and down b) Voice/radios from DCM near umbrella man c) yellow-painted small sections of the Elm street curb. 2. The different types of bullets used (short load for the shallow back wound, FMJ/penetrating round for the neck wound and one of the frontal head shots, Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) or fragmentation bullets for the other head wounds) all implies multiple shooters / firearms. There is NO WAY one rifle with a partially loaded magazine would have 3 different rounds pre-loaded that way, let alone to keep track of what round should hit at what place on which body. Thanks

Yep looks like it got taken down after I posted this, David.

Just like the extant Zapruder film, this supposed raw footage is filled with cuts, jumps and splices. Just like when the limo is on Houston, you see the motorcycles then the limo is magically down Elm, this whole film seems to leap ahead in sequence in several places. Why can't we be allowed to view unedited raw original film of ANY aspect of the JFK assassination? The only reason film is edited is to tell the specific story the editors want it to tell - nothing more and nothing less. Thanks

https://intel.securecomm.network/45files/JFK_FILES/ I hope that the fine researchers who are on this forum can make good use of these; I have no way of knowing if they were previously available before today. Thanks

In the video of Dan Rather, around 4:30, Rather says "The car was moving all the time, the car never stopped." This lines up with the extant film but goes against many witnesses who said the limo did in fact slow to a stop. Thanks
