Hey there guys....  Have some interesting updates for this SS# 3739 vs 3937

There is no listing for a 433-54-3937 and a Dorothy Ellis of New Orleans, LA listed for 433-54-3739

There is no listing for a 433-54-3937  

huh?  how come....?

The BURCHAM EX#1 is the 1963 TEX application which finds that JCS tax records show a different SS # - as we see below....

Iron sights, moving target, same size target, same height, same rifle...

Seems like there's always something the TV specials conveniently forget to add before spending thousands on their pointless "experiments".

Is there a replication of the Single-Shooter theory that includes all basic factors? I don't think I've ever seen a single one. Has literally anybody replicated the shooting to a satisfactory degree?

My understanding was this Australian reconstruction got it right and proves a bullet would have exited under JFK's right nipple and would never had hit JC as it was told...

Seems anyone and everyone who has tried, fails miserably...  maybe 'cause the SBT was a construct of the mind, as opposed to the evidence...?

Still seems to me one is correct and one isn't

It certainly does but I am also trying to process a fit for William King Harvey down there as well....but when looking at mexico City I definitely don't want to focus too narrowly, or else, as Blunt so masterfully put it: "you lose stuff on the periphery".  

Not sure how Harvey left it with Hoover and the FBI - probably not great....

So his talking/working thru DAP to put Hoover's testicles in a vice....   is not so far-fetched....

FBI determines this is not in the handwriting of Lee Harvey Oswald.

and never bothered to look into who and why someone would want to place Oswald there with those details

at the same time the little family is 500 miles away in Mobile.  It is 650 miles from New Orleans to Oak Ridge...

How did the FBI determine that?  While there are obvious discrepancies with other signatures like the Cuban visa & the airmail  Envelope

Was Oswald 's signature not found  in an atomic energy site visitor's book? I remember reading about it but can't remember where and when.

Yes Ray... I believe that was in Tennessee... back in July

Hoover covered for the CIA...  I believe this is why:

As JFK traveled and spoke around the country, it appears that "someone" was making sure the "Oswald presence" was established in the weeks leading up to that fateful date

What was it about the latter part of September?   Richard Case Nagell:

I live in the UK so can't come but I would like to know if you are re-inviting David Josephs. I want to see his views on Mexico City viewed more widely and I also want him to present live on the mysteriously modified survey plat with Chris Davidson.

thanks for the kind words Eddy,

I am still working on the powerpoint regarding Mexico... and will have to get a more complete understanding with Chris D before I can go explaining the work....  I can only do justice to the work I've done to understand him...

I am flying back east in Nov for my Dad's Bday and just can't be away too much longer...

As soon as the PPT is ready I will make it available...

Main thing we need to remember regarding Mexico:

LITAMIL-9 was a very close friend of Azcue's...   furthermore, Teresa Proenza meeting the Oswald character BEFORE passing him off to Duran is missing completely from the narrative...

The time will come when I can indeed get to Nov and meet all you wonderful people...

Check out the cosmopolitan guy behind the "Hunt" figure . . . white pants, blazer, open shirt, relaxed . . . wtf?

Pablo Neruda?  I understood he was anti-CIA in his poetry...  not sure if we proved this was him or not...

Here was something I did after I noticed the shadows were the same... yet the nose shadows aren’t.  

Also, all the shadows run right to left, except for the nose in the byp 

That would be my collage image in the initial post...

Many years ago I went looking for him elsewhere in DP in an image.... with no luck.

This was the only image that looked very much like Hunt.... as he does in most every other image of him...

Long way to god or Chinese food....

If you can fit a whole brain through a five-inch skull cavity, explain how. 

Doesn't matter if the hole was 10 inches... the connected tissue in the brain keeps it from just "falling out"...  too many important connections need to be severed including the spinal cord...
We also have to differentiate between pre-8pm and post 8pm procedures....

PURDY: How big was that opening? Was it an official opening?
ROBINSON: Well, there, of course, was an opening from the bullets,but then they had enlarged that. The brain had been removed, and you could see it.

MD180 Robinson Meeting Report:
Removal of President’s Brain: Robinson drew dotted lines on the drawing he executed of the posterior skull which shows the wound between the ears. When asked by ARRB staff what the dotted lines represented, he said “saw cuts.” He explained that some sawing was done to remove some bone before the brain could be removed, and then went on to describe what is a normal craniotomy procedure, saying that this procedure was performed on JFK. He seemed to remember the use of a saw, and the scalp being reflected forward.

Boswell ARRB:
Q. Was it necessary to make any incisions in the scalp in order to remove the brain?
(Boswell). No.
Q. Was it necessary to saw any of the bones in the cranium?
A. No.
Q. Who was it who removed the brain?
A. I think Jim Humes did, but I can't be sure of that.

Humes ARRB
Q. Why is there no weight for the brain there? 
(HUMES). I don't know. I don't really--can't really recall why. 
Q. Was the fresh brain weighed? 
A. I don't recall. I don't recall. It's as simple as that.

Taking HUMES' description of the injuries I mapped them onto a real brain and skull...

"We found that the right cerebral hemisphere was markedly disrupted. There was a longitudinal laceration of the right hemisphere which was parasagittal in position. By the sagittal plane, as you may know, is a plane in the midline which would divide the brain into right and left halves. This laceration was parasagittal. It was situated approximately (1 & 2) 2.5 cm. to the right of the midline, and extended from the tip of occipital lobe, which is the posterior portion of the brain, to the tip of the frontal lobe which is the most anterior portion of the brain, and it extended from the top down to the substance of the brain a distance of approximately 5 or 6 cm.  The base of the laceration was situated approximately 4.5 cm. below the vertex in the white matter. By the vertex we mean--the highest point on the skull is referred to as the vertex.
The area in which the greatest loss of brain substance was particularly in the parietal lobe, which is the major portion of the right cerebral hemisphere.
The margins of this laceration at all points were jagged and irregular, with additional lacerations extending in varying directions and for varying distances from the main laceration.
In addition, there was a (3) laceration of the corpus callosum which is a body of fibers which connects the two hemispheres of the brain to each other, which extended from the posterior to the anterior portion of this structure, that is the corpus callosum. Exposed in this laceration were portions of the ventricular system in which the spinal fluid normally is disposed within the brain.
When viewed from above the left cerebral hemisphere was intact. There was engorgement of blood vessels in the meninges covering the brain. We note that the gyri and sulci, which are the convolutions of the brain over the left hemisphere were of normal size and distribution.
Those on the right were too fragmented and distorted for satisfactory description.
(4) When the brain was turned over and viewed from its basular or inferior aspect, there was found a longitudinal laceration of the mid-brain through the floor of the third ventricle, just behind the optic chiasma and the mammillary bodies. This laceration partially communicates with an oblique 1.5 cm. tear through the left cerebral peduncle. This is a portion of the brain which connects the higher centers of the brain with the spinal cord which is more concerned with reflex actions."

Moreover, what do John's posts in this thread have to do with anything real (or even remotely possible) when it comes to the topic of the JFK assassination?

Even in the super-bizarre world of conspiracy theorists, John Butler's "JFK Was Shot On Main Street" theory would have to be considered "outer fringe" and worthless.

Does a single other person believe in your theory, John? Just curious.

Agree David...  the man in question should be taken as seriously as the WC and HSCA Reports....  Alice in Wonderland stuff...

How much visual and cognitive diarrhea must we take from that man?

Those are his words I've posted on the image

The conclusion for which there is no waiver is that THIS is Hill and Moorman who were photographically manipulated so as to move them down the street..

And here's even more "in-depth analysis" yielding rotten fruit...   Recipe - take a 72dpi image and blow it up to 500%...  and one gets clipping! amazing

To the resident Mr. Magoo... PLEASE learn something about images and how they work BEFORE you post... your persistent foot-in-mouth disease borders on gaslight insanity...

Enough is enough already...

Thanks for the response David. I have to digest all this. As for your interesting language question regarding Marina and Marguerite....I take it you believe Marina knew English well enough to converse?

Definitely....

when she meets Webster, what language do they speak...

if he learned Russian in Russia, how did he and Marina speak in the mean time... enough to want to get married, unless that too was a cover...  or an assignment

Something which I find unanswerable. The De Mohrenschildt back Yard photo shows much more detail and is crisper in focus. How can this be when the photos were all taken  with the same camera?

Without the negative Ray... we're kind of at the mercy of the generations and journey the image took...

What are you comparing it to?

Let's try to remember that Marina claims this was the only time she used a camera....

and yet she gets up to 4 perfect photos without remembering this view?

Thanks for the perfectly teed up ball buddy...

(398) The 133-B negative (CE 749) was digitally processed at the Aerospace Corp. and the University of California Image Processing Institute using several different image-processing techniques. This process confirmed that the grain distribution was uniform. (173) (See fig. IV-31, JFK exhibit 197.) Under very carefully adjusted display conditions, the scanned image of the Oswald backyard negative did exhibit irregular, very fine lines in the chin area. The lines appeared, however, only with the Aerospace gradient-enhancement process, where the technique was applied at a much higher resolution (i.e., the image area scanned was magnified since only a small portion of the picture was being subjected to the computations).

Amazing that the only argument against this is that they actually looked more closely at the image than they should have??

482) Composite photographs made using a paste up or montage technique can usually be defected as such unless the component parts are made under identical conditions and with great skill. Clues that commonly reveal fakery are mismatches of the density, contrast, sharpness, graininess, perspective, and lighting, and imperfect blending of the edges between the parts. No such clues can be found in these photographs. Furthermore, there is no disruption of the grain pattern across the boundary between the head and the body or between the head and the background so that any composite photograph involving the head would require using large original negatives and prints and then copying a composite image with the Oswald camera

Mr. SHANEYFELT. It is my opinion that it was used directly to make the print. However, I cannot specifically eliminate the possibility of an internegative or the possibility of this photograph having been copied, a negative made by copying a photograph similar to this from which this print was 
I think this is highly unlikely, because if this were the result of a copied negative, there would normally be evidence that I could detect, such as a loss of detail and imperfections that show up due to this added process. 
Although a very expertly done rephotographing and reprinting cannot positively be eliminated, I am reasonably sure it was made directly from the negative. 

86) Photographic reproductions could only be compared visually with other photographic reproductions or with original documents. All conclusions based solely upon photographic reproductions are necessarily tentative and inconclusive. since they cannot reveal much about pen pressure and other dynamic qualities of handwriting. Further, they sometimes conceal, rather than reveal, evidence of tracings, alterations, erasures, or obliterated writing.

HSCA Item # which were understood as PHOTOCOPIES:

18. November 15, 1959. Photocopy of handwritten account of interview with Miss Aline Mosby, UPI reporter. Unsigned. (The original of this document was also submitted but could not. be examined because it was completely covered and stained with fingerprint developer.) Location: Archives. (CE 2717: JFK exhibit F-489. )

29. March 12, 1963. U.S. postal money order No. bearing handwritten fill-ins as follows: Klein's Sporting Goods, A. Hidell, P.O. Box 2915. Dallas, Tex. Blue ink, ballpoint pen. Location: Archives. (CE 788; JFK exhibit F-509A and 509B.)

39. September 27, 1963. Photocopy of a page from a hotel register, signed, on line 18, "Lee, Harvey Oswald, U.S.A. (Texas) PHOTO. U.S. citizen." Location:Archives. (FBI exhibit D-36; JFK F-499.)

40. September 27 1963. Photographs (one of the entire document and one of the signature) of the original of the visa application, Cuban Consulate, Mexico City, signed Lee H. Oswald. Location: Archives. (CE 2564; JFK F-407 entire document.)

47. November 8, 1963. Two photographs of a facsimile copy of a handwritten letter to Mr. Hunt. One is of the entire document, the other an enlargement of the signature. These were obtained by the committee from a researcher in Dallas, Tex. Location: HSCA files. (JFK F-506.)

Now, who do we know that has access to EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHIC RETOUCHING PERSOINNEL.... 

thanks for the laugh this morning Dave...  

...the HSCA declared... 

"Blakey told him, "You guys are thinking too big. You've got to get your conspiracy smaller." Sprague replied, "Well, how small Bob?" The professor replied, "Five or six people." HSCA investigator Eddie Lopez vouched for this rendition of Blakey's view of how large a conspiracy could be."

Robert Webster... and he was working his angle to also get any info on the economy... that Marina also approached him Was amazing and hard not to see how the KGB would try to get friendlies into our country too....

So..

Any possibility?  

In this case?

{grin}

so, who goes to Russia? I believe the one who went was smarter than Lee by quite a bit, was getting info about Russia and working for Angleton via Phillips.

Lee punched a sarge, shot himself, got VD....   it is very hard for me to believe the real Lee learning Russian... he was a good old southern boy... maybe Ruby even kept an eye in him... idk   

So sorry for staying the course... two different people, as I see it

........ 

Again, photo at bottom middle,1959 passport... last of Lee Oswald I’m aware of....

That is an interesting focus David because I do know for sure that Simpich (at least sometime ago) cited Gregory's vouching for LHO as one of the strongest proofs of LHO's proficiency in Russian. I do believe that Walt Brown doesn't believe LHO knew Russian very well (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I wanted to toss the Gregory bit at him to see how he'd dissect it. If it can be broken down, perhaps this could be something relating to the fact (and lack?) thereof of LHO's evidence of knowing Russian. Also, this motivates me to consider this....say LHO did not know Russian....then lets consider Mexico City and how the man on the phone spoke "broken Russian"....I mean what the hell? Doesn't that almost jive with the alternate possibility that LHO did not know Russian all that much lol? If LHO did know Russian (putting aside the H&L bit) then its bad for the conspirators, and if he didn't know Russian it could've actually worked for the impersonated phone calls.... I know there is so much more to this than I will probably ever know (hell, Blunt himself won't go near Mexico City lol).

No matter who I read it seems they can state that it MAY not have been Oswald down there, yet continue the argument as if it HAD to be Oswald...  (e.g. the testimony about Oswald pitching a fit at the Cuban Embassy...  to get remembered...  except - it wasn't Oswald who was in Dallas with 2 Hispanic looking men visiting Odio and tooling around Dallas

So your thought may be interesting yet there are numerous people here in the US after 1962 who are aware of his Russian language proficiency..

One also has to wonder how Marina and Marguerite communicated...  One spoke no Russian while the other supposedly spoke no English...

H&L p.226
Henry Roussell, Jr. served with Harvey Oswald for 3 or 4 months in MACS 9 at Santa Ana (MACS 9) and was one of six Marines who shared a Quonset hut with him in 1958 (while Lee Oswald was still in Japan). A couple of months after Roussell left MACS 9 (on 3/6/59) his aunt, Rosalee Quinn, visited him in Santa Ana. She was a stewardess for Pan American airlines, had taken a Berlitz course in Russian, and was interested in working for the American Embassy in Moscow. Roussell wanted to introduce his aunt to Oswald and thought a meeting would give her a chance to practice speaking Russian.

One evening Roussell brought Oswald to a boarding house where his aunt was living, introduced her to Oswald, and then left while Miss Quinn and Oswald went to dinner and later to a movie. After conversing in Russian for several hours she thought Oswald spoke Russian very well for someone who had never attended a formal course in the language. 29 (https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1140#relPageId=448&tab=page)

According to Katya Ford it was either George Bouhe or Teofil Meller who found Oswald the job at JCS. After the assassination Peter Paul Gregory told the Secret Service that it was Bouhe who found Oswald the job at JCS. 129 (https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1139#relPageId=437&tab=page)

Vada Oswald (Robert Oswald's wife) told her neighbor, Mrs. Penny Pearson, that Lee Harvey Oswald was hired by Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall "because he could speak Russian. "130 (https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10406#relPageId=236&tab=page)
 

H&L p425-425

The party was attended by Lev Aronson, Thomas and Natalie Ray, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel F. Sullivan, George Bouhe, Anna and Teofil Meller, Tatiana Biggers, Samuel Ballen, Lydia Dymitruk, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harris, George and Jeanne DeMohrenschildt, and Yaeko Okui. Nearly all of these people were either Russian or married to a former Russian national.of Polish decent.".....
-----

Natalie Ray, one of the party attendees, said, "Oswald was very proud of the fact that he spoke Russian so well." As a native of Russia Natalie said that she was amazed that he had such a good command of the language.169 Other attendees of the party were equally amazed at his proficiency in the Russian language and discussed their thoughts with the Warren Commission:

• Natalie Ray was asked by Commission attorney Wesley Liebeler, "Did he (Oswald) speak to you in Russian?" Mrs. Ray replied, "Yes; just perfect; really surprised me. .... it's just too good speaking Russian for be such a short time, you know .... .l said, 'How come you speak so good Russian? I been here so long

and still don't speak very well English."'

• George Bouhe was asked by Liebeler, "Did Oswald's command of the Russian language seem to be about what you would expect from him, having been in Russia for that period of time? Would you say it was good?" Bouhe replied, "I would say very good."170

• Mrs. Teofil (Anna) Meller was asked by Liebeler, "Do you think that his command of the Russian language was better than you would expect for the period of time that he had spent in Russia?" Mrs. Meller replied, "Yes; absolutely better than I would expect."

• Elena Hall was asked by Liebeler, "In your opinion, Lee did have a good command of the Russian language?" Mrs. Hall replied, "Very good ..... "

• Mrs. Dymitruk was asked by Commission attorney Albert Jenner, "He did speak Russian?" Mrs. Dymitruk replied, "Yes; and I was really surprised-in short time, he spoke nicely."

• George DeMohrenschildt told Jenner, "He loved to speak Russian ..... he spoke fluent Russian ..... he had a remarkable fluency in Russian ..... he preferred to speak Russian than English any time. He always would switch from English to Russian."

• Peter Gregory told Warren Commission Representative Gerald Ford, "I thought that Lee Oswald spoke (Russian) with a Polish accent, that is why I asked him if he was of Polish decent."
