Don't open any of her links, its very likely it will damage your computer, I made the mistake yesterday and am having somebody come out to fix it tomorrow.

I have found that most people my own age (18) strongly support my research, however those between 30-55 show no interest and think it is a waste of time.

I think Dallas in the time after the assassination would have been in a state of disarray, I doubt normal protocol would have been followed by the DP.

It should also be noted that windows along the motorcade route were not systematically being watched by law enforcement personnel since no order had been given, confirmed by Dallas policeman Perdue Lawrence, as well as the triple underpass not being cleared of spectators.

At 11am, Julia Mercer is driving west on Elm street. She notices a pickup truck, this green pickup truck is parked partly on the kerb. The driver of the truck is witnessed as being Jack Ruby, and he is witnessed by Julia Mercer to be carrying a rifle to the grassy knoll area. Joe Murphy, a Dallas patrolman reports that “there were three construction men in this truck, and I took one to the bank building to obtain another truck in order to assist in moving the stalled one. The other two men remained in the pickup truck along with the two other officers. Shortly prior to the arrival of the motorcade, the man I took to the bank building returned with a second truck, and all three of the men left with the two trucks, one pushing the other” A young man described as wearing army fatigues suddenly collapses at 100 N. Houston, near the front door of the TSBD. He is apparently suffering from an epileptic seizure. An ambulance is called at 12:19pm to take him to Parkland Hospital. Parkland never records a patient registered at this time. This ‘patient’ is later identified as Jerry B. Belknap. Here there is a stalled truck on the motorcade route in the immediate vicinity of the assassination as well as an epileptic seizure which occurs minutes prior to the presidents arrival. Two incidents where eyes deflect from ‘above’ in order to concentrate on the seizure and stalled truck ‘below’. Major security attention is now focused on the street level. Has this focus and attention been diverted on purpose or is this merely a coincidence? However, not all attention was diverted: 9:30-10:00am - Julius Hardee is driving along towards the triple underpass on Elm street. He sees three men on top of the underpass. He states that two of the men he saw were carrying long guns. Whether these men were police officers or not has never been determined. 12:00pm - Richard Carr, a steelworker, notices a man in the window of the TSBD. The man is wearing a brown suit coat. 12:15pm - Arnold Rowland notices a man on the sixth floor in the far left window of the TSBD with a rifle, like others, he thinks he is a security agent. He also notices a second figure in the right hand window, he is of dark complexion. - John Powell, an inmate housed on the sixth floor of the Dallas County Jail watches two men with a gun in the sixth floor window of the TSBD. He and other inmates recall them “fooling around with the scope” - Mrs. Carolyn Walther notices two men with a gun in an open window at the extreme right hand end of the TSBD on the fifth floor, one of the men is wearing a brown suit coat. - Ruby Henderson sees two men standing back from a window on one of the upper floors of the book depository, she notices that one had a dark complexion What are everybody’s views on these events? Were they coincidences or an attempt at attracting attention away from the windows?

Australia's biggest-ever counter terrorism operation didn't end with yesterday's early morning raids. Last night Federal police, accompanied by hazardous materials experts, searched another home in Sydney's southwest. No arrests were made. Again, it was part of the wider operation that's been underway for the past 18 months and which led to the arrests of 17 men yesterday, one of whom remains in hospital with a serious gun shot wound to the neck. Those arrested are accused of belonging to an unnamed terrorist organisation and planning a major attack on an unknown target.

Len, this does not back all the claims, however you may find it an interesting read on the case, in the mean time I will track down the links for my sources Israeli Insider

Adam, I live in Roselands, which is between Lakemba and Wiley Park, and I heard those choppers hovering around on Monday night. Looking forward with interest to the details of this plan emerging. I'm hearing the cops acted on a tip from a chemicals manufacturer. A fertilizer bomb may have been their intention. Mark, there are reports of more raids overnight and throughout the day, it's good to see were getting rid of some of the scum in our communities, excuse me, but it is hard to presume their innocence when we see their supporters attacking the media and another one of them fleeing through bushland. If it was a chemicals manufacturer, maybe it payed off to 'Be alert but not alarmed'..still think the booklets were a waste of taxpayers money though. I will post the latest news on the raids asap.

Yitzhak Rabin was often described as a "hawk turned dove" in the bitter and long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He had sought peace, and was in favor of compromises which were seen as acts of betrayal in certain quarters (some sects within Judaism interpreted that it would be a sin and a betrayal to give up any land even in return for peace). On November 4, 1995, he was shot in the back whilst returning to his car from a peace rally in Tel Aviv, and died later on the operating table of Ichilov Hospital. Yigal Amir, often described as a Jewish extremist, was apprehended within minutes by other people in the crowd. He did not deny having pointed and fired a gun at Rabin from within the crowd. It appeared that the matter was clear cut, and has been reported as such in the media. However, strong inconsistencies in the evidence have been alleged, both in the medical records, and in inquiry testimony. Claims by those who assert there was more than one assassin: Police reports state that powder was found on Rabin's body and clothing, proving conclusively he had been shot at point blank range (powder travels only inches before dispersing). Amir was in the crowd, not at a range capable of leaving powder traces. Surgical notes describing a bullet wound which penetrated the front of the chest before impacting the spinal cord from inside, inconsistent with witness reports that Rabin was walking away with his back to Amir when Amir fired (later, video evidence would confirm that Amir did not shoot at Rabin from the front) Video showing Rabin walking after Amir's shots in a manner inconsistent with gunshot, an impossibility if they shattered the vertebrae. The bullet path for a shot by Amir was implausible Each medical record describes wounds which are "completely different" in nature to those concluded by the official Shamgar Commission. Medical descriptions of Rabin's condition are described by Chamish as suddenly appearing to change. The view of Dr Guttman, a physician, that "[t]he first two wounds, to the chest and abdomen occurred before Rabin's arrival. The third, frontal chest wound, had to have been inflicted after he entered the hospital," and that "it is inconceivable that Rabin had no spinal damage. The six members of the operating team were too skilled to have all been wrong about that." Anecdotal reports of hospital staff expressing doubts as to the circumstances of that night. Amir fired one shot. But trauma from at least two, perhaps three separate shots were reported to his body. Three police officers who had been present testified that "when Yitzhak Rabin was placed in the car, he showed no visible wounds." (Gordon Thomas in his book "Gideon's Spies" adds: "The surgeons insisted there was no possible gunshot wound that would have allowed Rabin to leave the attack site showing no evidence of a wound and arrive at the hospital with multiple damage ... subsequently the doctors have refused to discuss the matter.") Rabin's car became "lost" for 22 minutes on a 45-second drive to hospital by a highly experienced chauffeur, on clear cordoned-off streets. Police ballistics tests on shell casings found at the scene did not match Amir's gun. Powder traces (almost inevitably present if the suspect has shot genuine bullets [not blanks] from a handgun) were not found on Amir's hands, clothing or hair. No blood was seen coming from Rabin at the scene, despite wounds to his lung and spleen, nor was any found later at that location. (By contrast witnesses describe blood "gushing" from a chest wound upon arriving at hospital)

TERROR PLOT FOILED Seventeen men have been arrested and charged with terrorism related offences in Sydney and Melbourne, Australian Federal Police (AFP) say. The men, eight from NSW and nine from Victoria, have been charged with a range of offences including sections of Commonwealth legislation that have not been previously used, an AFP spokesman said. The arrests follow the execution of 22 search warrants across Sydney and Melbourne this morning where officers seized a range of material, including unidentified substances, firearms, travel documents, computers and backpacks," the spokesman said. Police arrested eight people in NSW after executing warrants in Lakemba, Belmore, Wiley Park, Greenacre, Illawong, Punchbowl, Hoxton Park, Condell Park, Ingleburn, Belfield, Bankstown and Kemps Creek. The nine from Victoria were arrested during raids in Dallas, Hoppers Crossing, Fawkner, Preston, Coburg, Yarraville, Meadow Heights and Hadfield. AFP Deputy Commissioner John Lawler said all the men had been charged under the Criminal Code Act 1995. The charges included acts in preparation of a terrorist act, being a member of a terrorist group, and conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. One man had also been charged with directing a terrorist organisation, he said. "By working collaboratively Australia's law enforcement and intelligence agencies have managed to disrupt the alleged activities of this group and therefore protect the Australian community from a potential terrorist threat," Mr Lawler said in a statement today. NSW police Commissioner Ken Moroney said the arrests followed a lengthy operation where law enforcement and intelligence agencies had been monitoring and investigating "the activities of a group allegedly intent on carrying out what we assess as some sort of terrorist act in Australia." "It will be alleged in court that following months of discussions, individuals had moved to the point of planning some sort of activity including the purchase of potentially dangerous materials," he said in the joint statement with the AFP. The men arrested in NSW will appear in Sydney courts, yet to be allocated, later today. The nine men from Victoria are to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court. TERROR SUSPECT SHOT A Sydney terror suspect is in a critical condition after being shot by police who claim he opened fire at them first. The man aged in his 20s was shot in the neck by a police officer at Green Valley, in Sydney's south-west, at about 9am (AEDT) on Tuesday. "I can confirm that one person of the alleged terrorist group fled from police in possession of a firearm," said Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison. "He was confronted earlier this morning by police. "While this investigation is the subject of an internal investigation by NSW authorities it will be alleged that the offender shot at police, to which police responded, shooting him in the neck and chest and I understand his position remains critical." The wounded man was one of seven suspects arrested in a series of counter-terrorism raids in Sydney, police said. Nine more were arrested and charged in Melbourne. Assistant Commissioner Graeme Morgan said the man, carrying a bag, fired at least two shots at police when they approached him on Wilson Road at Green Valley. He said police monitoring the man saw him leaving a motor vehicle near a mosque, carrying a bag. "Police attending Wilson Road saw a man that was of interest and as they did ... witnesses have told police that he produced a firearm and fired at the police," Mr Morgan said. "One officer was struck, we believe in the hand, and suffered a minor wound. "One of the police officers returned fire and the person of interest to police was wounded in the neck. "We can now confirm that the offender fired at least two shots at police and when the police fired back it was not the officer whose hand was injured in the attack." The wounded suspect was being treated in Liverpool Hospital but his condition was unknown. Police used a bomb disposal robot to investigate the contents of the bag the man was carrying, and said they had found a handgun. "The bag also contained papers but no explosives," Mr Morgan said. Police closed off the road and evacuated residents in the area while the bag was examined. An independent investigation team from the State Crime Command has been established to investigate the circumstances of the shooting. Mr Morgan would not comment on the terror raids in Sydney and Melbourne. "The role of the State Crime Command here is to conduct a completely independent investigation of the shooting. That's the limit of the role we're performing here. "We're not involved in the counter-terrorism operation that took place elsewhere in Sydney this morning."

Makybe Diva has today become the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup three times in a row. The 7-year-old English-born mare, ridden by Glen Boss and owned tuna fisherman Tony Santic, finished her career with the victory in the $3.8 million race. Makybe Diva won 15 of her 36 starts and earned more than $8.24 million and has been compared to the legendary Phar Lap.

The body of Rosa Parks lies in honor at the Rotunda in Washington, the first woman to be given this honour and only the second African-American, she shares an honour bestowed upon the likes of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, what a fitting tribute for a woman who did so much for the American civil rights movement.

Tim, although this theory is just pure speculation, It is intriguing. I don't believe that Ruby had prior knowledge of the assassination, however some hard evidence would be good.

I just thought I would share an interview I conducted with Gene Roberts over email. A March 2, 1964 article in Newsweek Magazine claimed that Gene Roberts had purchased a number of photographs of Oswald on behalf of the Detroit Free Press. The negative of one of these photographs has never been located or analysed, so I asked Gene the following questions: 1. Who sold you these photographs? 2. What photos were included in the purchase? 3. Did the Warren Commission or the House Select Committee on Assassinations ever try to contact you to reacquire these photos? 4. Do you know what became of these photos? Here is his answer for any researcher who may be interested: The photographs you asked about came from the files of the district attorney’s office in Dallas. The DA got them from the FBI. They were the same photographs that were given to the Warren Commission. The photographs included the well known photograph of Oswald holding a rifle in one hand and The Worker, the Communist Party newspaper from New York, in the other; photocopies of Oswald’s identity cards, some with aliases and others in his own name; and some family photos, as I recall. I don’t remember the exact number, but there were possibly as many as 25 or 30. Almost all of the photographs were later made public, but at the time they were new to the reading public. No negatives were involved, only copies of photos and documents in the FBI files. The FBI made them available to the Dallas DA to aid in the prosecution of the Jack Ruby case. I correctly guessed this might happen and made every effort to cultivate people in the DA’s office in the hope that I might get access to the files. One employee of the DA made the files available to me from 8 p.m. on a Saturday night to 8 a.m. on Sunday morning, a 12-hour period when the employee did not think anyone would be in the DA’s office. I hired an experienced photo lab person to photocopy the file during the 12-hour period. I stayed with him during the entire copying process and he provided me with two copies of every photo and document in the file. I had planned to route each set of copies on different airlines from Dallas to my newspaper at the time, the Detroit Free Press in Detroit, Michigan But I was so sleep-deprived that when I arrived at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Sunday at about 9 a.m., I failed to make my instructions clear and both sets of photographs were routed on the same flight to Detroit. Because of weather conditions – or mechanical problems, I can’t remember which – the plane was grounded in New Orleans for several hours. Panic developed at the Free Press, which wanted the photos in time for the first edition of the Monday paper, which had a 6 p.m. deadline on Sunday. We knew that Life magazine had access to some of the photos and would start appearing at newsstands about noon on Monday. We wanted to beat them to the punch. As the deadline approached, editors in Detroit asked me to describe the pictures and estimate the size of each photo that would be on page one. With this information, the paper set the type for the front page and made the page with holes for the pictures. The plane arrived in Detroit about 30 minutes before deadline on Sunday at the Detroit airport, which was about 30 minutes by car from the Free Press building. My editor, Derrick Daniels, had motorcycles waiting on the tarmac to speed the photos to the newsroom, where he had photo editors and airbrush artists waiting to expedite the photos into the paper. In 1964, engraving processes were not as sophisticated as they later became, and it was commonplace to airbrush photos with white liquid chalk to heighten the definition between dark and gray areas in photographs. In the haste to get the photos in the paper, an airbrusher covered the sniper scope (on the rifle Oswald was holding along with The Worker paper) with liquid chalk. Our paper was indeed available several hours ahead of Life. But when Life appeared on newsstands, its photo of Oswald with The Worker paper had a sniper scope. The Free Press photo did not. Armchair detectives around the world found this to be highly suspicious. But the Life and Free Press photos were both copies of the very same photograph. Because airbrushers use liquid chalk that can be scratched away with a fingernail, you could easily determine that the photographs were the same. The apparent discrepancies of the photos have been mentioned several times over the years in books and articles, creating a mystery where none really existed. Had anyone taken the time to visit the morgues (libraries) of the two publications, they could have seen that the photos were the same.

Robin, thanks for making me aware of the fact that it may be his hand. I had also thought that this was some sort of ripple effect due to a bullet. It does look like a closed fist, however I would have thought that if you sustain an injury, your hand usually attends to it in an open manner, not in a closed manner. But I do not have too much experience in photo analysis and ballistics, so maybe some other members can offer some further insight.

Thanks Steve and Chris, It took me a while to write that thread, didn't just do it overnight. I do advanced english at school, so I suppose that helps. Thanks for the support and I will start a thread on 'The Night Stalker' in a few weeks time.

Evan, I don't disagree nor agree with you, but did you even go to the link that Jack posted before you said It was ridiculous?

Thanks Steve, I have finally finished the Ted Bundy crime case study and am starting on The Night Stalker. I don't have too much knowledge on Jack The Ripper, I know you are considered an expert, so I will visit the threads and comment when I have time. And I only have general knowledge on the Zodiac Killer. It will be good to see your work.

ence.

Pat, thankyou, there is great work there. As Pamela said, you have done well at articulating the issues surrounding the complicated medical evidence. Well Done.
