Total nonsense, as always .. and an embarrassment that you keep repeating this.

Ok so in other words, the author is claiming “June Cobb” was not actually a distinct, real person, but rather an amalgam of different clandestine operatives?

While I wait for the hardcover to arrive, can Greg or someone else explain whether the author truly claims Jerrie and June Cobb were the same person, or simply that their individual clandestine activities were somehow merged so as to create the impression that they were the work of one individual?

Couldn't Michael's reference to a "clutch" here just be a catch-all for any means of shifting gears, whether the car is automatic or manual? In other words, even an automatic transmission requires manual manipulation to change from Park to Drive, Drive to Reverse, and etc.

You can trumpet "circumstantial" evidence until you're blue in the face. It doesn't change the fact that your argument for Ruth Paine and/or Linnie Mae Randle being CIA agents is beyond weak. Says the person who believes every piece of evidence in the case has been faked or altered, and believes in Lee and Marguerite Oswald doppelgangers ...

No, I don't find it odd in the least, particularly because there's no evidence whatsoever that Frazier is lying about the trips on the 21st and 22nd. In what way do you think Frazier would have been furthering the "plot" by "telling Oswald" to go to Irving on the 21st? To somehow Jedi mind-trick him into suddenly deciding to assassinate President Kennedy the next day?

No, and anyone who believes that has clearly not studied the case.

It's a Thanksgiving miracle that some people actually believe this, particularly without a literal shred of proof.

Again, so what? Many people connected to the assassination in one way or another were not "properly" investigated by the authorities. Does that mean they were conspirators? Or even had anything useful to say? Of course it doesn't. So, I don't know what point you are trying to make.

Are you implying the absence of testimony from the Paines to post-Warren Commission official bodies is some indication of their complicity in the crime? Because it’s not …

Sorry, but this yet another "such and such knew someone and they were college classmates with someone and they once went out to lunch with someone else and so that means Ruth and Michael are CIA spies." There are numerous other dubious conclusions here, including that Ruth would have been "informing on Oswald to the FBI" by giving them the "Kostin" letter, that there's something suspicious about Michael Paine attending meetings with Oswald by groups with opposing ideologies (there isn't), and, even worse, that the Paines had "very limited interactions" with Oswald (total nonsense - Ruth probably spent as much time around Oswald in 1963 as any other human being).

Sandy Larsen also believes that this is not Billy Lovelady. Do you disagree?

Of course they don't, Matt, but that won't stop people here from accusing doubters of swallowing "the single-bullet theory and the lone-assassin tale." Maybe they were part of the same secret, decades-long, evil government doppelganger program which helpfully brought us both "Harvey" and "Lee" ?

But Sandy Larsen insists the man with the bald spot and red checkered shirt on the steps is NOT Billy Lovelady. Are you saying you disagree?

Says the guy who actually has no clue what "side" I'm on or what I believe, but sure, please go ahead making ignorant statements.

So let's see .... June Cobb was actually a secret government agent/assassin named "Jerrie Cobb" and not only was she the getaway pilot at Redbird Airport but also the real Babushka Lady, who may or may not have fired bullets at the motorcade from the grass opposite the knoll?

No, there isn't.

David, although I often disagree with you on details of this case, I think you raise a very valid point here.

Absolute nonsense, ad infinitum.

To make sure everyone on this forum, and elsewhere, knows that the theories you are continually pushing rely on an unverified, unauthenticated "datebook."

What's actually silly is your refusal to believe that Mrs. Kennedy having applied pressure to the top and side of JFK's head on the way to Parkland may have obscured the true nature of the wound during those frantic, heated moments in the emergency room.

Wait! You missed Roscoe White waving around the real backyard photographs in the background! And James Files along the picket fence, tearing into a Snickers! And Johnny Roselli rappelling down the back side of the TSBD quick enough to enjoy a spaghetti lunch at Sam Ventura's Italian Village outside of town!

I'm not obligated to tell you zilch about those or any other topics, and I will continue to dismiss your entire line of research until the LaFitte "datebook" is properly authenticated and verified for ALL assassination researchers to examine.

Nobody "hallucinated" anything - in the heat of the moment, they were off on the location of the wound by a few inches, which may not have seemed important at the time but is hugely significant after the fact. As for extreme Zapruder film fakery being "easily done at the time," you've got to be joking - that canard has been debunked for decades.

Not evidence. Also, Lee Farley surfaced all of this a decade ago - no LaFitte necessary!
