    the Mods;

    Thanks Don,& Evan for your very kind words, they are appreciated, as I did ponder for quite awhile whether to post or not.

    I will add as this opportunity has been presented, to say

    The moderation duties, which are so seldom complimented,and

    Which is seen as, and rightly so, the most thankless job on the web, bar none,

    They IMO are mainly handled

    here after much consideration on the whole and fairness..

    thank you Mods for all the time and your efforts spent

    The Mod

    The posts he noted, were heavily bloated,

    With rantings and ravings and heaven knows, cravings ?,

    I know, said the one,

    You don't, said tother,your research is through,

    If I have my druther,

    The Mod he did sigh, Why oh dear Why??,

    Do they even begin, they puff and they snort,

    The're wearing,and tearing;

    The're way overbearing;

    The Mod he did act with swiftness galore,

    He hoped that it worked and not seen as a bore,

    Still they bloated, and puffed the thread did get heavy,

    It's locked, Oh My God !!!, their world, almost ended,

    But give them a bit and they'll be contented,

    Be back and posting, and acting demented..

  3. Malcolm FYI Here is the information from Jim Marrs book..''CROSSFIRE''.........

    From "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs

    CONVENIENT DEATHS

    In the three-year period which followed the murder of President

    Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, 18 material witnesses died - six by

    gunfire, three in motor accidents, two by suicide, one from a cut

    throat, one from a karate chop to the neck, five from natural causes.

    An actuary, engaged by the London Sunday Times, concluded that on

    November 22, 1963m the odds against these witnesses being dead by

    February 1967, were one hundred thousand trillion to one.

    The above comment on the deaths of assassination witnesses was published in

    a tabloid companion piece to the movie _Execution Action_, released in 1973.

    By that time, part of the mythology of the Kennedy assassination included the

    mysterious deaths of people who were connected with it.

    By the mid-1960s, people in Dallas already were whispering about the

    number of persons who died under strange or questionable circumstances. Well

    into the 1980s, witnesses and others were hesitant to come forward with

    information because of the stories of strange and sudden death that seemed to

    visit some people with information about the assassination.

    Finally, in the late 1970s, the House Select Committee on Assassinations

    felt compelled to look into the matter.

    But aside from discrediting the London Sunday Times actuarial study, the

    Committee was unable to come to any conclusions regarding the growing number

    of deaths. The Committee said it could not make a valid actuarial study due

    to the broad number and types of persons that had to be included in such a

    study.

    In response to a letter from the Committee, London Sunday Times legal

    manager Anthony Whitaker stated:

    Our piece about the odds against the deaths of the Kennedy witnesses

    was, I regret to say, based on a careless journalistic mistake and

    should not have been published. This was realized by The Sunday Times

    editorial staff after the first edition - the one which goes to the

    United States... - had gone out, and later editions were amended.

    There was no question of our actuary having got his answer wrong: it

    was simply that we asked him the wrong question. He was asked what

    were the odds against 15 named people out of the population of the

    United States dying within a short period of time, to which he replied

    - correctly - that they were very high. However, if one asks what are

    the odds against 15 of those included in the Warren Commission Index

    dying within a given period, the answer is, of course, that they are

    much lower. Our mistake was to treat the reply to the former question

    as if it dealt with the latter - hence the fundamental error in our

    first edition report, for which we apologize.

    This settled the matter for the House Committee, which apparently made

    little or no attempt to seriously study the number of deaths that followed

    the JFK assassination.

    Jacqueline Hess, the Committee's chief of research for the JFK

    investigation, reported:

    Our final conclusion on the issue is that the available evidence does

    not establish anything about the nature of these deaths which would

    indicate that the deaths were in some manner, either direct or

    peripheral, caused by the assassination of President Kennedy or by

    any aspect of the subsequent investigation.

    However, an objective look at both the number and the causes of death

    balanced against the importance of the person's connection to the case, still

    causes raised eyebrows among those who study such a list.

    In this section, people who were connected - no matter how tenuously -

    with the assassination and who are now dead are listed according to date of

    death.

    This is dealing only with deaths, not with the numerous persons - such as

    Warren Reynolds, Roger Craig, and Richard Carr - who claim to have been shot

    at or attacked.

    This chapter has been entitled "Convenient Deaths" because these deaths

    certainly would have been convenient for anyone not wishing the truth of the

    JFK assassination to become public.

    The CIA has gone to some lengths to discredit the idea of mysterious

    deaths plaguing assassination witnesses.

    A 1967 memo from CIA headquarters to station chiefs advised:

    Such vague accusations as that "more than 10 people have died

    mysteriously" can always be explained in some rational way: e.g., the

    individuals concerned have for the most part died of natural causes;

    the [Warren] Commission staff questioned 418 witnesses - the FBI

    interviewed far more people, conducting 25,000 interviews and

    reinterviews - and in such a large group, a certain number of deaths

    are to be expected.

    Testifying before the Church Committee in 1975, CIA technicians told of a

    variety of TWEP technology - Terminate With Extreme Prejudice - that cannot

    be detected in a postmortem examination.

    One recently declassified CIA document, a letter from an Agency consultant

    to a CIA officer, states:

    You will recall that I mentioned that the local circumstances under

    which a given means might be used might suggest the technique to be

    used in that case. I think the gross divisions in presenting this

    subject might be:

    (1) bodies left with no hope of the cause of death being determined by

    the most complete autopsy and chemical examinations

    (2) bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental death

    (3) bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate suicidal death

    (4) bodies left with residue that simulates those caused by natural

    diseases.

    The letter goes on to show that undetected murders do not have to be the

    result of sophisticated chemicals. It states:

    There are two techniques which I believe should be mentioned since

    they require no special equipment besides a strong arm and the will to

    do such a job. These would be either to smother the victim with a

    pillow or to strangle him with a wide piece of cloth such as a bath

    towel. In such cases, there are no specific anatomic changes to

    indicate the cause of death...

    While it is obvious that the CIA - and hence the mob through operatives who

    work for both - has the capability of killing, it is less well known that the

    Agency has developed drugs to induce cancer.

    Recall that Jack Ruby died of sudden lung cancer just as he had been granted

    a new trial.

    A 1952 CIA memo reported on the cancer-causing effects of beryllium:

    "This is certainly the most toxic inorganic element and it produces a

    peculiar fibrotic tumor at the site of local application. The amount

    necessary to produce these tumors is a few micrograms."

    Local law-enforcement officers and coroners are not equipped, either by

    training or by inclination, to detect deaths induced by such sophisticated

    means. They look for signs of a struggle, evidence of a break-in, bruises,

    or marks on the victim.

    With no evidence to the contrary, many deaths are ruled suicide or accident.

    Others are ruled due to natural causes, such as heart attack.

    It is interesting to note how the deaths are grouped. Many of the

    earliest deaths came during the time of the Warren Commission investigation

    or just afterwards.

    More deaths took place in the late 1960s as New Orleans District Attorney

    Jim Garrison was launching his investigation. Other suspicious deaths

    occurred during the mid-1970s, as the Senate Intelligence Committee was

    looking into assassinations by U.S. intelligence agencies. And finally,

    another spate of deaths came around 1977, just as the House Select Committee

    on Assassinations was gearing up its investigation.

    These deaths are listed below in chronological order. An asterisk means

    the death is a particularly suspicious one. They are also grouped according

    to which investigation was being conducted at the time.

    The possibility of convenient deaths leads one into a well of paranoia, yet

    this long list cannot be summarily dismissed.

    Obviously, many of these deaths - particularly in recent years - can be

    ascribed to the passage of time. But others cannot - especially when viewed

    in the context of the assassination inquiries taking place at the time.

    Read for yourself and consider... When does coincidence end and conspiracy

    begin?

    1977 - A Terrible Year for Many

    The year 1977 produced a bumper crop of candidates for listing under

    convenient deaths connected with the JFK assassination - including the deaths

    of six top FBI officials all of whom were scheduled to testify before the

    House Select Committee on Assassinations.

    Topping this list was former number-three man in the FBI, William C.

    Sullivan, who had already had a preliminary meeting with the investigators

    for the House Committee. Sullivan was shot with a high-powered rifle near

    his New Hampshire home by a man who claimed to have mistaken him for a deer.

    The man was charged with a misdemeanor - "shooting a human being by

    accident" - and released to the custody of his father, a state policeman.

    There was no further investigation of Sullivan's death.

    Louis Nichols was a special assistant to J. Edgar Hoover as well as

    Hoover's liaison with the Warren Commission. Alan H. Belmont also was a

    special assistant to Hoover. James Cadigan was a document expert with access

    to many classified assassination documents, while J.M. English headed the FBI

    laboratory where Oswald's rifle and pistol were tested. Donald Kaylor was

    the FBI fingerprint expert who examined prints found at the assassination

    scene. None of these six Bureau officials lived to tell what they knew to

    the House Committee.

    Other key assassination witnesses, such as George DeMohrenschildt and

    former Cuban president Carlos Prio Soccaras, died within weeks of each other

    in 1977, just as they, too, were being sought by the House Committee.

    The ranks of both organized crime and U.S. intelligence agencies were

    thinned by deaths beginning in 1975, the time of the Senate Intelligence

    Hearings, and 1978, the closing months of the House Committee.

    Charles Nicoletti, a mobster connected with the CIA-Mafia assassination

    plots, was murdered in Chicago, while William Pawley, a former diplomat

    connected with both organized crime and CIA figures, reportedly committed

    suicide.

    Adding to rumors that "hit teams" may have been at work, a Time magazine

    article reported that federal agents had initiated a nationwide investigation

    into more than 20 gangland assassinations constituting what agents believed

    was an "open underworld challenge to governmental infiltration of Mafia

    activities."

    One FBI source was quoted as saying: "Our main concern is that we may be

    facing a revival of the old `Murder, Inc.' days."

    A New York News story concerning this official fear of roving

    assassination squads even mentions the death of Sam Giancana, who was killed

    one day before he was scheduled to testify about mob-CIA connections and

    while under government protection.

    Prior to the House Committee investigation into the JFK assassination,

    the news media reported the following deaths:

  4. I regret any stepping on toes in this post, if so it is not intentionally done with any malice..

    Dr.Jim. in this time of Vinegar,and keeping in mind the Honey times as they say will return..IMO you are far from the only here and elsewhere, that are understandably stubborn in their beliefs of their research and fight for such,......., getting carried away with their responses, and you do get very carried away at times.., :) as many others do as well, researchers are it seems so emphatically positive of their positions before presentation or not.....that they, we, are and can be very touchy in our efforts, i have never known one not to be, and..It appears with many that ,that

    is the research way, we CTRS many times are own worse enemies,I also have no

    doubt that i have assumed similarly in the past....it is in general hard not to do

    so as we are only human, and therefore full of errors, whether acknowledged or not, we believe our findings and having come to

    the conclusions after much work and time spent, it is difficult to take, any, even constructive fault finding..We cannot

    blame researchers for their convictions...as they believe in their work and conclusions

    period,and rightly so,after all their time and great effort..... It does seem to me that some on here who have posted in reply previously,

    should take a long thought and perhaps a look into the mirror before they

    down another for the same action as they are finding fault in.. having done

    so in the past themselves, ....perhaps we all could back off somewhat with our

    many critical presumptions and harsh retaliation reply posts, in threads, by trying to reread and

    adjust before posting, and try to do so with a somewhat kinder frame of

    mind...which is so very lacking in this sad world we all share, more times than not,and reply not with a get back, or get the better of them mentality as it often seems.

    Dr.Jim you have been so very selfless in the past with your research and aid in enabling certain young researchers to have the ways and means of attending such as the Lancer and or Copa conventions,and thereby having the opportunity to present their new found research hopefully for all,and you have by investing any profits from your book sales to be returned into the research community in many ways, I for one salute you Sir,for all you have done in the past for the community,with your generousity and research and hope that all will continue.

    You are my friend, have been and still remain so, you have only been kind to me as well as in generously sharing your information very unselfishly,we do not always agree, we differ as all people do, it seems, but have been able all these years to have kept such on friendly terms, but a word of friendly advice, if i may, tone down the rhetoric.to some degree, it is acceptable to not agree, as you do not and we all do not at times,in reply to others information and responses....like can we not all cool it and take a step back, say halleluah and return to the continuing research..with much less baggage, can we not, let some past ,replies.looked upon as sins it seems ,by some by their reactions to, that they have retained and hopefully not do so forever it appears some will cherishingly, and some gleefully it seems will repeat the fault by another, no matter how far in the distant past they may have happened,but will do so at any given opportunity ,as they cannot get past them, those responses that they felt were unfair,and it is regrettful that by some to be held onto now as almost seemingly grudges so that they can be mentioned again and again, at the given opportunity, some it seems are not able to forgive, the human frailties that we at times have all shareed in, by conveniently forgetting their past behaviour, can we not let sleeping dogs lie, and forgive any who have recently and in the past responded in an uncivil way, perhaps by getting in touch, and or letting it go,and getting over it and get on and hopefully return to the research..as life is too shrt not to imo...the THEY are very pleased every time that this has been temporarily stopped, by allowing the latest disagreements to sidetrack and to their merriment...as they ponder, ''there they go again'' and perhaps thinking, again, they only continually hurt themselves every time they allow their differences to get in the way''.......Just give it a second thought , please.. ...thank you all....best b

  5. Given the almost hysterical right-wing bias of Dallas, given a “Patriot” whose brain had envisioned the wholesale slaughter of public officials, an all too easy assumption is that Oswald may have been the pawn in some devious right-wing conspiracy. But, again, it is not necessarily so. In the background are Oswald’s undeniable Castroite activities and his earlier attempt, seemingly well established by the testimony of his wife, to assassinate rightist Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker. That abortive attempt at murder is said to have taken place on the evening of April 10, 1963, when a bullet, fired through the window of Walker’s study, missed his head by inches, went through a wall and was later recovered, battered beyond identification, on some packing cases in an adjoining room. Marina Oswald testified that her husband, before going out that evening, had instructed her on how to act if he never came back. She said that he later admitted to her that he fired the shot, and that he hid the rifle for a time so that he would not be caught with the evidence if the bullet should be traced.

    The Walker incident could suggest a plot by some Castroite fanatics of Oswald’s own persuasion. For one thing, there are some indications, vague and indefinite but still disturbing, that Oswald was not alone in the Walker attempt. Robert Alan Surrey, who described himself as General Walker’s partner in a book-publishing venture devoted to right-wing propaganda (he claimed the Fifth Amendment when the Warren Commission sought to question him about his role in distributing a scurrilous handbill that showed President Kennedy’s picture under the headline, “Wanted for Treason”) said that two nights before the shooting he had seen a car parked about 20 yards from Walker’s house: “I saw two men around the house peeking into the windows and so forth.” The men leaped into the car and sped away. Surrey chased them, but lost them. The next morning he reported the incident to General Walker, who notified the police. Surrey said he had not had a good look at either of the prowlers, and could not identify either as Oswald.

    On the night of the Walker shooting, a next-door neighbor, Walter Kirk Coleman, 15, heard the sound of the shot. He ran out and peered over a picket fence into a Mormon Church parking lot that adjoined the Walker property. Coleman subsequently told authorities that he saw two men. One was hurrying toward the driver’s seat of a Ford, parked headed out with lights on and motor running. The other went to a Chevrolet parked by the fence adjacent to the Walker property, and appeared to put something into the back of the car before getting in behind the wheel. Coleman could not tell whether there was anyone else in either car. Both cars drove away. Later, shown a picture of Oswald, Coleman told the FBI that neither of the men he saw resembled Oswald. And there it ends.

    ''For her part, Jackie “played the events over and over in her mind…She did not want to accept Jack’s death as a freak accident, for that meant his life could have been spared—if only the driver in the front seat of the presidential limousine [Agent William R. Greer] had reacted more quickly and stepped on the gas…if only the Secret Service had stationed agents on the rear bumper…” (“Just Jackie: Her Private Years” by Edward Klein (Ballantine Books, 1999), pages 58-59 & 374: based off an interview Klein had with Kitty Carlisle Hart re: Hart’s conversation with Jackie);''

  7. SPECIAL AGENT CLINT HILL

    http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=16972&hl=%2Bspecial+%2Bagent+%2Bclint+%2Bhill

    The man gently lowered the sheet just to expose the president's neck, and he began describing the wounds to me. A wound in the front neck area where a tracheotomy had been performed at Parkland Hospital in an effort to revive the president. He said it covered an exit wound.Then gently rolling the president over to one side, he pointed out a wound in the upper back , at the neckline quite small.This he said corresponded to the exit wound at the throat

  8. Despite the WC s findings and government insistance on the lone gunman/Oswald conclusion , several of the agents i the President's detail did not accept the assertions. Later some pf the men expressed their belief that the cade was really a conspiracy, as the vast majority of the U.S publuc came to believe. Researcher Vince Palamara interviewed many Secret Service agents and cites Agents, Sam Kinney, Abraham Bolden, Maurice Martineau, Marty Underwood, and John Norris as those who ''believe this ( Conspiracy ) to be the case . In addition says Palamara June Kellerman stated that both Kellerman and fellow agent Bill Greer , who were in the front seat of Kennedy's limo, asserted that there was more to the assassination than the ''Official Version'' let on...Agent Winston Lawson. the advance agent for Kennedy's trip to Dallas . In a recent interview of Lawson, the retired agent was asked, ''Given the mprovements in technology, procedure and intelligence, do you think the Dallas tragedy would have prevented with today's improvements , or would it still be a case of politics over effective protection ?''......Lawson replied '' That's a hard one to say. there is so much more now, Not just training but more people .....(.As a Political Advance Man ........... are you familiar with that term ?

    (he) comes to the lead Secret Service Advance man and says '' I want the ropes and stanchions brought down , the crowd will be closer.''....skip......There's always going to be a political side versus a Secret Service side, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.''..............Then Lawson offered tidbit previously unheard ; Sometimes the political side will blame the Secret Service for not going to a particular place that they didn't want to go to, using the Secret Service as an excuse''...........Lawson does not join agents who stated or implied . in SEYMOUR HERSH'S The Dark Side of Camelot '' that Kennedy's recklessness brought on his death''............from ''The Secret Service'' chapter ''Losing Lancer'' 2002 Philip H. Melanson....PH..D..with Peter Stevens.............pages 87, 88.....Despite all the lapses and failures of the Secret Service agents in Dallas, Agent Kellerman told the FBI the night after the assassination . ''The precautions employed in Dallas were the most stringent and thorough ever employed.........for the visit of a President to an American city..'' The Commission asked that if this were true, what were the normal protective procedures..Kennedy is alleged to have said to San Antonio Congressman Henry Gonzales, the night before the shooting.The Secret Service have taken care of everything.''.....As events proved on that shocking day , the agency had failed to take care of everything.............

    Bernice, who wrote that? Was that you? If not could you post the web link on that or the source?

    Thanks,

  10. This is ridiculous.

    THe producers should talk to Pat Kirkwood about these Secret Service jerks.

    The producers should then talk to Abe Bolden next. That is who they should make a movie about since he is a real hero.

    and there is a lot more information in regard to the book if

    interested..on Vince's site......Bolden's book should have been it, as Jim mentions but as we know hollywood way

    apparently is as afraid of the truth as is the Discovery Channel..... dry.gif b..

  11. I realize the following is a difficult question, but does anyone know where in Dealey Plaza the following is?

    James

    James, I can't see a photo or a link here. I don't know why. This has happened before.

    Kathy C

    Kathy;i am sure you are forgetting, that members delete posted photos, over time, the forum has only so much, what i will call storage space, and they need to be deleted so as they can post more, also members can only post so many, before their own posted photo space is used up, this has been discussed many times on the forum, and then the forum can continue, see posted topic at the top of the main page, re attachments...plus this is a very old thread......b

  12. Good points Don; in thinking about what has been researched about the speed of the limo, at that time, i wonder now why Kellerman ignoring the bar in his way to the back seat, and it was in his way to clearly jumping into that seat to JFK,see photo four posts above,#21 why not simply open his door, take a few running steps to the back seat door, open or take a flying leap into and cover JFK ,if Hill could do as he did, it was more than possible that kellerman, could have....In The Kennedy Detail,p 27 it is explained, the first thing the driver is to do, at the first sign of trouble,is to take off increasing speed, and to take immediate evasive action, by zig zagging on the road,Greer did neither...hope all is well, take care..b
