Indeed. The moderators should do something about it.

Why are you posting this on two separate threads?

And the significance of this is ... what, exactly? Are you implying none of this information had heretofore been known about Walker's activities?

I believe you’re confusing what Hosty did with his interrogation notes with what he did to the note Oswald left at the FBI office, in which he asked Hosty to stop interviewing Marina when he wasn’t home. Hosty’s boss Gordon Shanklin ordered him to destroy the latter, which Hosty then did.

"The way you do it in Canada" ? Take your holier-than-thou, xenophobic nonsense somewhere else.

This is a truly unbelievable rhetorical question by you in light of your numerous "justifications" for who is or is not allowed to study the alleged datebook for themselves...

Is there any actual evidence to support the notion that such a car was parked by the Triple Underpass?

To which specific car parked by the underpass are you referring?

Yes, I know - my comment was directed at Sandy Larsen's apparent attempt to start a debate about Princess Diana's death with Michael Griffith. THAT should be moved to some other area.

It's just non-stop victim mentality from the Coup in Dallas brigade, isn't it? "Acting on behalf of" Jim DiEugenio? On behalf of what? Our top-secret cabal that goes around jealously spying on other Kennedy assassination researchers? Give me a break.

The only "wrench" it has thrown is further polluting a subject already rife with ridiculous theories and evidence-free speculation. Promise?

You can't possibly spend your life being this needlessly litigious all the time, can you?

This thread has no further purpose here. Moderators, please move this baseless conspiracy speculation out of this section of the forum.

Aren't there members of Garrison's staff who are still alive and/or would have had in-person interactions with Ferrie?

Right, like spending the past 20-plus years touting the absolutely laughable and absurd idea that Lee Oswald was part of a secret government doppelganger program along with his imaginary "brother," Harvey, or that virtually every piece of evidence in the Kennedy assassination has been faked or altered .. at least until you need these documents to be authentic to support your beliefs ...

Truer words have rarely been spoken on this forum. Thanks for at least trying to fight the good fight, Greg.

Uh, except that it has, by Roland Zavada: https://archive.org/stream/ZavadaReport/Zavada+Report_djvu.txt http://www.jfk-info.com/zavada1.htm It's incredible that you, as someone who seems to believe nearly every major piece of evidence in the case has been falsified or altered, jumps right in with both feet to trumpet the veracity of the "Lafitte datebook." A "coherent reason" would be to make money and insert one's self/selves into the JFK assassination case, which unfortunately has already happened with Judyth Baker. By the way, this forum is hardly made up of "an independent panel of experts" ...

My goodness, you are touchy. I'm not trying to "downplay" anything. In fact, I used your own words to describe what had happened to those three men.

So you believe that because Prouty did not experience the exact same "destruction" as Adams, Agee, and McGehee Jr., then he must have somehow been involved in the Kennedy assassination, even if it was just via a "limited hangout" ?

Then why do you keep pushing back every time someone on this forum accurately repeats the fact that the veracity of the datebook is in question?

I agree with your assessment of this book, Eddy. Mailer also made a cantankerous and entertaining appearance at the ASK Symposium in Dallas around the time of its release.

No, I’m not saying the “crime” would be solved. But a positive ID of Oswald on the steps would by definition prove a conspiracy and as such invalidate every “Oswald did it alone” argument which has persisted since 1963. That may not be enough for you, but it’s perfectly reasonable that it would be enough for many other researchers who have devoted decades to the subject. I truly don’t understand the implication that the research community should be in any way obligated to throw all their chips in on your version of events, particularly given the questionable veracity of the datebook upon which it rests.

Whether there is or isn't is, to me, irrelevant at this late date. Researchers, and the general public, rightly want DEFINITIVE proof ... not datebooks of unknown authenticity, not absurd theories about Lee Harvey Oswald doppelgangers, not a default position that all of the film and photo evidence from Dealey Plaza has been faked or altered. A definitive determination that Oswald was indeed standing in front of the TSBD during the assassination would end 60 years of debate in one fell swoop.

Leslie, do you honestly believe that these so-called "amateur researchers" who had their "attention seized" are now incapable of studying any other aspect of the Kennedy assassination besides the identity of Prayer Man? I also find it a bit odd that you are passing judgment on what topics people "should" be studying. For instance, should Jefferson Morley stop suing the government so he can instead devote his full time and attention to a datebook of unknown authenticity?
