  1. The Babushka Lady used a still-picture camera, so forget about a film.
  2. I agree 100. It looks like Laird chased the boy to get his picture. I doubt he was hurt that much since he already left.
  3. The story was not published in America. But it was in Toronto, Canada. https://web.archive.org/web/20190608213030/http://jfkassassinationfiles.com/boy_chased.html
  4. That was an incident witnessed by DMN photographer Joe Laird on Main Street. The story died on November 22, 1963 and I revived in 2000. I had Gary Mack working on it in 1991. Denis - From an unpublished account by Laird a few weeks after the assassination: He was at the sw corner of Main & Harwood with UPI photographer Daryll Heikes (the Museum has Heikes' original negatives.) They ran along with the limo but "were unable to keep pace." About three blocks from there, he heard "someone to my right, shouting "SLOW DOWN, WAIT, STOP! It distracted me, causing me to run into the rear of a motorcycle." He wrote that an SS agent on LBJ's car "dismounted and shove a young man head first to the pavement." After the motorcade passed, he "was unable to locate the person I'd seen dumped so forceably." That's all he wrote, but now we know where it happened. Youngblood was the only SS man in LBJ's car, but there were three other SS men in the car behind. One of them must have been the one who tackled the guy. Sorry, I can't send you what Laird wrote, but it will probably be published soon, and I'll let you know when it happens.

Denis - I've never heard this story, but am sending it to a reporter friend at The Dallas Morning News. I'll let you know what happens. Laird, by the way, is retired but still an active part-time photographer for the News. As I recall, he was on the south side of Main near Harwood, which means the youth was running west from there along the north side of Main. I think the Toronto reporter made an improper assumption that he might have had advance knowledge of the assassination. First, why would a "youth," a term usually used for teens or early 20's people, know anything about such a plot? Second, the youth could have had any number of other, less sinister, reasons for wanting the President to stop. Third, he certainly could have been some kind of nut with a Kennedy obsession. The News photographer Laird referred to was Walt Sisco, who shot the classic color motorcade photo we have in our exhibit and visitors center. It's the one from an upper floor on the passenger side and shows motorcycle officer Bobby Hargis just to the left of the car. Sisco, who's been dead since the 60's, shot three quick stills. The others no longer exist and the negative of the remaining picture is also lost. But it's an interesting story and I'm going to pursue it. Thanks for sending it!

Hello Gary, I came across an interesting article published in the Toronto Star on November 25, 1963. The source of the story is photographer Joe Laird of the Dallas Morning News you may have known. What do you think of that story, and was it published in the USA? Thanks for your help and have a great year 2001! Denis
  5. Last time I renew my website was in 2019. https://web.archive.org/web/20190102160817/http://jfkassassinationfiles.com/

  7. I still a few to order. What is unfortunate is that they don’t know what the tapes contain. They do have a listing, but it often doesn’t match the content. They don’t have the interest in finding out since they specialize in non-JFK material. One could propose to volunteer to make a new inventory of their material, but the vast majority of people are too lazy or expect to be paid.
  8. The Hargis audio is of very good quality. But the others I got are excellent.
  9. Not available online. I had to pay $50 for it from Baylor University.
  10. The camera used by the Babushka Lady is a still-picture camera as shown in an Allen photo. The original Allen negatives that were lost for nearly 50 years were found again. I received a copy of the original negative a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, even though the image is clearer, the definition of the copy I received is not very high, so I was unable to see more details than the copies that circulate on the web.
  11. It was great in the last few days to hear for the first time the voice of witness Richard Carr who witnessed the assassination from the Old Red Court Building. It’s an interview made on the same day as his testimony at the Clay Shaw trial. I also had the chance to listen to an interview with Phil Willis and his wife also made on the day of their testimony. Other audios I have heard: S.M. Holland's interview with a French documentary. I'm pretty sure it is the same team that produced the documentary below. Also, a Penn Jones interview with Bobby Hargis, probably 1968. I prefer the earliest interviews.
  12. Many years ago I made a video with a few friends proving Oliver is not the BL.
  13. The topic is my membership refusal. I’ve got over it already.
  14. NoTrueFlag wrote “Even Nutters can say what they will. If Google really does cut access to Usenet.” I can’t even join. 😂
  15. OK. He doesn’t want true facts getting in the way. I get that.
  16. My request to participate to alt.conspiracy.jfk.research has just been declined. The cover-up continues…
  17. Too bad we have only one page of the Garrison office interview.
