The truth is, the ONLY knowledge we have of the interaction between Oswald and Hosty comes from Hosty. One must trust Hosty to NEVER lie or mislead, if we are to believe his reports of his interactions with Oswald are 100% true and not intended to mislead. I'm not sure whether I'm ready to go that far for an FBI agent who destroyed evidence [the Oswald note] after the assassination.

My dad worked for the USPO, the predecessor to the USPS, as well as working for the USPS. He worked there from 1968 until his death in 1991 at age 61. Newspapers were second-class mail in the 1960s. Including November and December of 1963. Ruth Payne did technically violate the law. And Postal Inspectors were NOT known for their senses of humor. I was told that they could legally be more ruthless in an investigation than the FBI.

You just MAY have found the "Rosetta Stone" of film alteration. Some of the witnesses said that the limo slowed/stopped PRIOR to the fatal headshot. If the limo slowed/stopped at approximately Z-310, that would confirm what the witnesses claimed. But since the extant Z-film appears to show no slowing/stop of the limo, that would mean that frame removal may have occurred around this point if the witnesses are correct. I'm not saying that is or isn't the case. I'm saying that would make sense IF it occurred. Would the SS allow the record to show the limo slowed or stopped 3 frames PRIOR to the fatal headshot? That would make Greer appear to be at fault, to some degree or another, in JFK's murder. [No that doesn't make him a knowledgeable accomplice.] It's something worth considering. Chris Davidson, does this pass a plausibility test?

I'm still around, but I post a lot less these days than I used to.

It certainly does SAY 57 volumes.

Definitely the Powers film.

If I recall correctly, the late Tom Purvis owned a 6.5 Carcano rifle, and he produced a similar-looking bullet after passing through a branch of a live oak tree. Complete with some of the lead core being extruded from the base, similarly to CE399. But, as I recall, his bullet lacked the bend that CE399 has.

I believe I recall that the car Ruth Payne owned was a 1956 Chevrolet wagon and not a Rambler. I also believe I recall some research by Walt Brown on a Rambler station wagon. I'm not going to look all this up, but I believe I gave you enough to do a Google Search.

You have the difference right in front of you. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. As I recall, Dallas County Sheriff Bill Decker REFUSED to be involved in security for JFK's visit to Dallas. Not sure how this refusal was allowed to stand...but we saw the results.

As a moderator/administrator, I will once again admonish all participants to refrain from the personal attacks. PERIOD. As a person who has been following the JFK assassination story since it happened [when I was a 9-year old 4th grader], there are certain things about which I have my doubts. Harvey and Lee is one. But I also believe that David Josephs has done a great job highlighting the inconsistencies and anomalies in the purported Oswald trip to Mexico City to show MUCH reasonable doubt that it ever actually occurred. So because I disagree with one aspect of Mr. Josephs ' research, that doesn't mean that I believe that none of his work has value. The truth is, there is enough reasonable doubt in the case against Oswald to warrant examining all of the evidence. And after a thorough examination, some may stand and some may fall. And sometimes we merely disagree on which doubts are reasonable and which are not. But we should do our best to remain civil toward others when addressing them in the forum. And personal attacks are a weak rebuttal, implying that you have exhausted your evidence.

The late Gerry Hemming at one point claimed that he had purchased/offered to purchase Oswald's rifle from him prior to the assassination. I don't recall the details.

As for me, I'd listen to a lot more blues music. And learn to play the Seafoam Green Squier Stratocaster I bought after my rotator cuff surgery.

The corner of Ross Avenue and N Lamar Streets is 2 blocks north and 4 blocks east of the TSBD at 411 Elm St. Proximity makes the location of the found .38 S&W a tad suspicious.

According to the inflation calculator I used, $200 a month in 1963 projects out to $1713 and change in 2021, or about $20,000+ a year. That would be the equivalent of someone making under $10 an hour today at a full-time 40-hour-a-week job. And $10 an hour today is poverty-level. Now, if Ozzie was making $1.25 an hour in 1963, that would figure to just over $11 an hour...for the times he was working. Anyone know what Texas unemployment paid in 1963?

We must remember that, prior to the creation of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection attempt, Congress attempted to create an INDEPENDENT COMMISSION to investigate. And Republican Senators killed that attempt. Which begs the question: did they not want the incident investigated...or did they WANT a partisan investigation that they could denounce? Either way, it appears obvious that the LAST thing they wanted was the TRUTH to come out.

AND... the Biden administration was NOT sworn in before January 20th. So under WHOSE administration was Enrique Tarrio's January 5th release allowed? [HINT: NOT Joe Biden's.] And under whose administration was Christopher Alberts IMMEDIATELY released on his own recognizance? Remember, Joe Biden wasn't President before noon on January 20th. NONE of his cabinet officers were sworn in prior to January 20th. Based upon those FACTS, Mr. Cole, I believe your allegations are false ON THEIR FACE. Prior to noon on January 20th, 2021, a "Biden Justice Department" simply DID NOT EXIST. You are ignoring that simple FACT, which makes your entire argument weak to the point of being ridiculous.. I cannot believe no one has challenged your "Biden Justice Department" comments before now. Was there a "Trump Justice Department" prior to noon on January 20, 2017, too? If so, PLEASE explain.

Christopher Alberts wasn't simply released. He was indicted on 4 charges: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1364751/download He was NOT arrested DURING the so called "scrum"; he was arrested AFTERWARDS...AFTER DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had declared a CURFEW. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gun-toting-rioter-man-who-slugged-cop-among-first-charged-for-capitol-chaos-feds/ar-BB1cyMKY But for some reason, Mr. Cole left out these details.

I was a 4th grader when JFK was killed. I saw Oswald gunned down on live TV.

One thing I've learned working in a business environment: If it was a committee decision, no SINGLE person gets tagged as the person who said, "Do it." The JFK hit reeks of being a committee decision. As with many committee decisions, different members of the committee then work from their level of experience to make the committee decision happen. Which would explain why so many allegedly "aggrieved" parties [Mafia, CIA, pro-Castro Cubans, anti-Castro Cubans, and right-wing nut jobs] can be considered as possible suspects for making the hit happen. And of course, as in the old "Mission: IMPOSSIBLE" TV show, "the department will disavow any knowledge of your actions." This, "rogue" CIA agents, "rogue" Cubans or Cuban sympathizers, and "lone nut" assassins are the "obvious" suspects. And we are left without enough information to peel back enough layers of the onion to arrive at the TRUTH.

Your point is valid, IMHO.
