Turner and Christian's book, "The RFK Assassination", suggests a connection between RFK's assassination and the shooting of George Wallace. I've always believed the Wallace shooting deserved more research than it has received.

I believe he was in boarding school in Pennsylvania. According to the exhaustive research of Russ Baker, his father was in Dallas that day. I don't think the man in the picture is W (yet); that was just my initial impression.

The first person I thought of when I saw the younger man in the picture was George W Bush.

On a side note, I never knew you could use google to search a specific website. The search feature on educationforum is kinda lousy. Thanks for the tip, Raymond.

Wouldn't it be instructive to have a .pdf of these transcripts uploaded to the internet?

This book is definitely on Amazon. Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Deeper-Darker-Truth-...3493&sr=8-1

I pass by the Gerald Ford Library on my way to work. If I went there in person, do you think that they may let view the document? Maybe I'll have to go there on my lunch period.

What is the origin of the Nixon/Ruby document? Who discovered it originally?

Is the document fake? I didn't know the authenticity of the Nixon/Ruby document was in question.

Let's not neglect the possibility that the Tomlinson stretcher bullet fell out of JFK's "shallow" back wound...which also negates the SBT, since it could not have fallen out of JFK's "shallow" back wound and still have caused ANY of Connally's wounds. That would make the stretcher bullet the result of shot number 1, and therefore you would need to add a conclusion "C" to your list. True.

I'm surprised no one has responded yet. This little gem is a stake to the heart of the single bullet theory. Now, was Shaw talking about a fragment or a whole bullet? That is the question. If he was talking about a whole bullet, the only conclusion to be drawn is that there was a conspiracy in the Kennedy assassination. One of the following is the case: A. The stretcher bullet was planted and therefore there was a conspiracy B. The stretcher bullet and the bullet still lodged in Connally's leg were both part of the fusilade that killed JFK and wounded Connally. Since Oswald could barely fire 3 bullets in the alloted time, the presence of a fourth bullet requires a second gunman and therefore there was a conspiracy.

But isn't it interesting that Marina provided pictures? This means one of two things: A. Oswald was involved in the Walker shooting B. The pictures were planted and Oswald was innocent. If Oswald was involved, there was a conspiracy to shoot Walker (see my arguments above). If Oswald was not involved, there was a conspiracy to frame Oswald for the Walker shooting. The Tippet shooting has been called the Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination. Why would Oswald shoot a police officer unless he was guilty of killing the President? I submit that the Walker shooting is the Rosetta Stone of the Tippet murder. To prove Oswald had a previous capacity to commit violence, the Walker shooting was pinned on him. But what of the accomplice? Once the Warren Commission established that Marina had numerous pictures of Walker's place taken by Oswald, physical evidence existed that linked Oswald to the Walker shooting. However the Warren Commission curiously ignored the conspiracy angle of the Walker shooting. Was this by design? Is it not a fatal flaw in the Warren Commission's findings to conclude that Oswald was part of a conspiracy to shoot General Walker in April 1963 but was a lone nut in the murders of Kennedy and Tippet in November 1963? Thus, the incontravertible evidence of a conspiracy to kill Walker was glossed over. The only evidentiary value offered was that Oswald tried to kill Walker. No mention of an accomplice. Does anyone know who Oswald's accomplice might be in Dallas, April 1963?

I read this thread and I didn’t find these items so let me add them. I searched the forum and cannot find any thread where this was discussed. So let me present the following case. When I first read the Warren Commission Report, I found the Walker shooting to be an enigma. The events didn’t gel with the rest of the conclusions of the commission. The Warren Commission concluded Lee Harvey Oswald shot at General Edwin Walker in April 1963 while Walker was sitting in his home in Dallas. But the overwhelming evidence is that there were two men involved in the Walker shooting. Thus, in April 1963, Oswald had an accomplice when a shooting political figure in Dallas. It is not a stretch to believe he had an accomplice when shooting a political figure in Dallas in November of 1963. The consequence of this is staggering: just using the 27 volumes of the Warren Commission, we can prove there was a conspiracy. We don’t have to add additional evidence or impeach the commission’s evidence. We only have to examine the Commission’s evidence and make a more logical conclusion. The Warren Commission did not conclude Oswald was the lone gunmen in the Walker shooting. All the evidence in the Walker shooting supports the premise that there were 2 assailants and that one was Oswald. The testimony of Surrey, Coleman and Marina Oswald all support this and no evidence refutes this. When we conclude the Walker shooting was done by Oswald (Coleman's testimony and Marina's testimony), we must conclude he had an accomplice (Coleman's testimony and Surrey's testimony). Once we conclude Oswald had an accomplice when shooting a political figure in Dallas in April 1963, all the evidence that he had an accomplice shooting a political figure in November 1963 is more reasonable than not (two men involved in the Tippet shooting; two men in the TSBD). General Edwin Walker was shot at on 10 April 1963. He was not hit and was not injured. The bullet narrowly missed him. On Monday, 8 April 1963 Robert Surrey, a friend and house guest of Walker's, was in the house when he saw two men peeking in the windows. On Tuesday, 9 April 1963 Surrey told Walker. Walker was not in town on Monday so Surrey didn't tell Walker until the next day. A police report was generated but no perpetrator was ever apprehended. On Wednesday, 10 April 1963 a bullet was fired through a window, one in which the two men had been seen "peeking through". Walter Coleman, a neighbor, heard the gunshot and looked out his window. He saw the church parking lot next to Walker's house. He saw two men leaving in separate cars. The description of one of the men was a dead match for Oswald. Marina Oswald claimed her husband was involved in the Walker shooting. She provided photos that Oswald had taken of the Walker house along with some testimony about a conversation she had had with her late husband. She testified Oswald wanted to commit the shooting (the word "postponed" is used in the Warren Commission Report) on Wednesday because there was a church service that night and the church service would provide cover for his activities. Now, the timeline comes into full view. Oswald took photos of Walker's house, in effect to case the place. Surrey saw two men peeking in the windows. Oswald didn't want to shoot Walker on Tuesday because he wanted the church to provide cover for his activities. Oswald shoots at Walker on Wednesday but narrowly misses the retired general. Two men are seen leaving the church parking lot immediately after the shot. Thus, the testimonies of Surrey and Coleman not only corroborate each other (two men involved), they corroborate circumstantial evidence (the church held a service that night and Marina said Oswald wanted to postpone the shooting until that night) and their testimony corroborates Marina's testimony (Oswald was involved). There is no room for argument on the Walker shooting. Not even the Warren Commission concluded differently. The WC concluded that Oswald shot at Walker. The WC didn't conclude Oswald was the lone shooter in the Walker incident. And once we conclude Oswald had an accomplice in the shooting of a political figure in Dallas in April 1963, the conclusion that he had an accomplice in the shooting of another political figure in Dallas in November 1963 becomes the simplest explanation. And all the witnesses who saw Oswald with an accomplice on 22 November 1963 have their testimony corroborated. The above analysis assumes Oswald was involved in the Walker shooting. If Oswald was NOT involved, then there was a conspiracy to kill JFK because the Warren Commission’s conclusions are so severely compromised, they can be nothing more than a cover up.

I was born in Muskegon, Michigan in 1972. I grew up in North Muskegon, going to Reeths Puffer Schools. After high school I joined the Michigan National Guard. I spent 6 years in the guard as a pharmacy technician. I didn't like pharmacy work so I went to college to be an engineer. I've been an engineer ever since. Besides work, I like to read and play games. Over the past few years I've read a considerable amount of books on the Kennedy assassination. This subject is both a challenge and a delight. I also have a steady gaming group. We play board games usually every week. My favorite is Twilight Imperium 3rd edition. I am an avid movie watcher. I love Kubrick and Hitchcock films! I am also partial to Coppola, Stone and Spielberg.
