Walt Rollins

David, all I can say at this point is that your work is truly one of the most important if not the most important pieces of research ever conducted on the JFK assassination. When I first read Best Evidence back in the early 80's I wondered in a paranoid way who knew I was actually reading it. It was definitely a life changing moment for me. The closest I have come to that feeling since is from John Armstrong's book "Harvey and Lee" which is the Rosetta Stone for understanding Oswald as your work is for understanding the medical evidence and alterations. I am looking forward to reading your views on Horne's work. It might seem like I am ass kissing here but I have always wanted the chance to thank you for your work and I noticed you have been active here for a few weeks and figured this was my best chance. After all, others here have been doing nothing but busting your balls (pardon my French). Keep it up, Walt.

Robin, this seems to be much further than the 40-50 yards in front of the limo at the time that the shots rang out. Phillips' account is not credited in his book so I can't judge the veracity of it. If Pate was on the entrance ramp of the Stemmons Freeway as your post suggests then he could not possibly have witnessed the smoke rising from the storm drain in front of the knoll through his rear view mirror as described by Phillips. However, if the portion of the original tape exists before his recreated account was added, a modern analysis of that recording could possibly detect the number of shots fired much like the motorcycle recording made a block or so from Dealey Plaza. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Jack. The original recording (not the recreated one) might have sounds of the shots that could be analyzed for sonic waves if the car was in Dealey Plaza but like most evidence it appears to be missing (confiscated by the FBI) according to Phillips.

On pages 144-146 in Donald Phillips book A Deeper, Darker Truth, he states that the KBOX mobile news car was 40-50 yards in front of the JFK limo as the shots rang out on Elm Street. I cannot find any evidence of this car in the Altgens or McIntire photos. Can anyone direct me to any photos or film that might show this car? Bernice or Jack maybe? Thanks.

Vince, any idea who this Secret Service agent in the Pathology Department at Parkland Hospital mentioned by RN Carolyn Wester in her testimony to Arlen Specter before the Warren Commission is? It appears that these calls were made before anyone in Parkland would know if JFK was even in the hospital let alone shot? For more on this give a listen to this....... http://www.blackopradio.com/pod/black407A.mp3 TESTIMONY OF JANE CAROLYN WESTER Mr. Specter. The testimony of Jane Carolyn Wester was taken on March 20, 1964, at Park-land Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Arlen Specter, assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Mr. SPECTER. Miss Wester, this is Miss Oliver the court reporter and she will take down your testimony here and will you raise your right hand and take the oath? Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you will give in this proceeding will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Miss WESTER. I do. Mr. SPECTER. May the record preliminarily show that the purpose of this proceeding is in connection with the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy to ascertain facts relating to the assassination and all medical treatment obtained by President Kennedy and Governor Connally following their being shot. The witness at the moment is Miss Jane Wester who has been asked to testify concerning any facts of which she has knowledge concerning treatment of President Kennedy or Governor Connally and the disposition of Governor Connally's clothing and sheet in which he was wrapped at the time the Governor was brought into the operating room at Parkland Memorial Hospital. Mr. SPECTER. Will you state your full name, for the record, please? Miss WESTER. Jane Carolyn Wester. Mr. Specter. And what is your residence address, Miss Wester? Miss WESTER. 1107 Brockbank, Dallas. Mr. SPECTER. Have you received a letter of notification from the President.'s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy advising you that I would contact you for the purpose of taking testimony from you in connection with this proceeding, Miss Wester?

I am assistant supervisor in the operating room, and I assign personnel duties, direct them in their activities. Mr. SPECTER. Did you receive notice on that date that President Kennedy and Governor Connally were en route to Parkland Memorial Hospital to receive treatment? Miss WESTER. I was not aware that they were in the hospital. Mr. Specter. When was it first brought to your attention, if at all? Miss WESTER. At noon, around noon---noontime---I'm not sure as to the exact time it was. I was relieving the secretary for lunch and the phone rang. Someone in the pathology department asked if the President were in the operating room and I answered them, "No," and they said that a Secret Service agent wasdown there and as soon as the President did arrive in the operating room, would I please call them. Mr. SPECTER. What was your next connection, if any, with respect to the treatment of either President Kennedy or Governor Connally at Parkland? Miss WESTER. I received a phone call' from the emergency room asking us to set up for a craniotomy. Mr. Specter. And what is a craniotomy in lay language? Miss WESTER. That's an exploration of the head. Mr. Specter. Was there any other request made at that time? Miss WESTER. Yes--well--immediately following, following that I received a call to set up for a thoracotomy, which is an exploration of the chest. Mr. SPECTER. And were those two set ups made in accordance with the requests you received? Miss WESTER. Yes; I immediately assigned personnel to set up these two rooms for these two cases. Mr. Specter. And what room was used for the craniotomy? Miss WESTER. The craniotomy was set up in room 7. Mr. Specter. And what room was used for the thoracotomy? Miss WESTER. The thoracotomy was set up in room 5. Mr. Specter. And on what floor were the two rooms? Miss .WESTER. Well, on the south wing of the second floor.

Dick, I know you are aware of Armstong's book "Harvey and Lee." What evidence have you uncovered that tends to either support or refute his research?.......If his theory is correct and I tend to feel it is, which of the Oswalds was the victim of the MK/Ultra programing? If you believe it was "Harvey" (the accused assassin), what role do you think "Lee" played in this scenario? I believe Armstrong credited "Lee" with many of the actions that "Harvey" was later blamed for that allowed them to set him up as the patsy.....Do you think a double (Lee) as well as a programed "Harvey" were used in tandem? Any info on where "Lee" is today? Many believe he is Donald O. Norton.....Did you ever come across his name in your years of research?......Great book by the way, thanks.........

Thanks, Vince.......Have you returned from the "dark side" yet or do you still think Oswald was a "lone nut"?

What garbage......If you use altered, doctored and fabricated evidence as your starting point you will get a bogus result......BS in BS out........The throat shot was from the front........The wound in the back was too low to exit his neck and hit Connally......Exit wound in back of JFK head.......Miss that wounded Teague.......Miss that hit sewer apron on Elm.....Miss that hit street behind JFK limo......Miss that hit sidewalk in front of knoll......Miss that hit chrome on front winshield and possibly windshield itself......Wounds to Connally........Evidence of doctored Z film........Altered autopsy photos.......Altered X-rays.....Missing autopsy photos.......Missing brain........I can go on and on.....I am sure these are all addressed adequately in this LN piece of crap.......Spare us.......

Vince, if Bugliosi's book overwhelmed you with evidence that Oswald did it, what is your response to the overwhelming evidence that Oswald didn't do it in John Armstrong's book "Harvey and Lee"? Have you read it? If not it is a must......I am sure you will get over your midlife crisis soon......
