FYI / Addendum / Eclipse Follow-Up.... A Mr. Brian Roselle took some spectacular still pictures of the April 8th eclipse from Lake Santee, Indiana (which is about 70 miles southeast of my location here in the Hoosier State). Brian today sent me this link to his incredible eclipse photographs: Addendum #2.... My brother took this video from my front yard during the eclipse: http://dvp-potpourri.blogspot.com/2024/04/total-solar-eclipse-april-8-2024.html

Oh Cory...

Of course the 11/4/63 FBI Airtel isn't forged. But Ruth's explanation is entirely reasonable and is not inconsistent in the slightest way with the Nov. 4 Airtel. What part of this sentence uttered by Ruth Paine don't you understand, Cory? ..... "I was not aware, hadn't taken in the idea of there being two buildings and that there was one on Elm, though I copied the address from the telephone book, and could well have made that notation in my mind but I didn't."

Yes, of course Ruth Paine knew, weeks prior to the assassination, that Lee Oswald worked at the TSBD. She was made aware of that fact on the very same day he was hired there (October 15th): ALBERT JENNER -- "Did you hear from him [Lee Oswald] then either on the 14th or 15th [of October] in respect to his effort to obtaining employment at the Texas School Depository?" RUTH PAINE -- "He called immediately on Tuesday, the 15th, after he had been accepted and said he would start work the next day." But until Nov. 22, Ruth was not fully aware that there were two different TSBD buildings in downtown Dallas. And the explanation she gave to the Warren Commission concerning this matter (seen below) is a perfectly logical and reasonable and (IMO) believable explanation. But many conspiracy theorists who have a burning desire to drag Mrs. Paine through the mud and into an assassination plot of some kind obviously don't think this testimony given by Ruth is the slightest bit believable or credible at all: ALBERT JENNER -- "I heard you mention the Texas School Depository warehouse. Did you think the warehouse was at 411 Elm?" RUTH PAINE -- "No. I had seen a sign on a building as I went along one of the limited access highways that leads into Dallas, saying "Texas School Book Depository Warehouse" and there was the only building that had registered on my consciousness as being Texas School Book Depository. I was not aware, hadn't taken in the idea of there being two buildings and that there was one on Elm, though, I copied the address from the telephone book, and could well have made that notation in my mind but I didn't. The first I realized that there was a building on Elm was when I heard on the television on the morning of the 22nd of November that a shot had been fired from such a building." -------------------------- Repeating something I wrote on July 25, 2022: I think it's important to keep in mind that the Depository warehouse building on Houston Street that Ruth saw while driving on Stemmons was located very near Elm Street. It was only---what?---two blocks north on Houston. So the two TSBD buildings were, indeed, very close to one another. Given that fact, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for someone casually driving on Stemmons to think that the "warehouse" building on Houston was located on Elm (or vice versa). Was Ruth supposed to keep track of all Dallas streets at all times and where things were located on those streets? Why would she have cared what street that warehouse she saw was on? And why would she have needed to commit such knowledge to memory? It didn't make any difference to her what street that TSBD warehouse was located on. The conspiracy theorists who think that Ruth Paine was involved in a scheme to plant Lee Oswald in the TSBD on Elm Street must think otherwise, of course. But I'm not wired with "Conspiracy" circuitry. So it's my view that the "Elm Street" address that Ruth did, indeed, write down in her address book (and see in the phone book) meant very little to her at all. And therefore there was no reason for her to concentrate on that address at all after jotting it down in her address book or seeing it in print in the telephone book. And, in fact, she pretty much told us that very thing in the above testimony. Lots More:

Addendum / Clarification.... When I made the above comment yesterday, I was referring to JFK collections that are available ONLINE (i.e., via the Internet). There are some people who have private audio/video collections that far exceed my collection in total scope. Todd Kosovich being one such individual. In 2013, Todd sent me a long list of everything in his huge JFKA collection, and at that time he had 344 hours of A/V material from just the month of November '63 alone. And that doesn't count any documentaries, movies, anniversary specials, or any other "post-1963" material that Todd might have in his JFK archive. My current total is about 160 hours. So there's a lot more JFK stuff out there for sure.

No, I did not. But I have THIS PERRY VIDEO. Not nearly to the extent of my collection. But a YouTube search might prove fruitful.

Like millions of others in the United States, I experienced the incredible total solar eclipse today (Monday, April 8th, 2024). Total darkness descended upon my front yard in central Indiana at 3:06 PM (EDT) and lasted for almost four minutes. It was an amazing sight to be sure. And in Dallas, Texas, at the site of President Kennedy's assassination, many people gathered to watch the eclipse in Dealey Plaza. I captured the three images below via the Sixth Floor Museum's Dealey Plaza Cam. Click to enlarge:

There is at least one section of dialogue cut out of the first interview. I'm not sure of the extent of that edit, but it's obvious that at least a little bit of the conversation is missing at the 29:10 mark of the above video. Another indication that there might possibly be just a little bit more edited out of the "Latin Listening Post" program is because Vince Bugliosi, in his book, says the interview lasts "37 minutes". But my copy above only lasts about 35+ minutes. However, there's also THIS WARREN COMMISSION EXHIBIT, which indicates (FWIW) that the Stuckey/Oswald interview on 8/17/63 lasted a total of 35 minutes, which perfectly matches the length of my copy. FYI --- Here's a related webpage, which contains some additional links of interest: http://Oswald-On-The-Radio.blogspot.com

"I didn't see any person fire the weapon. I only heard it." -- Jean Hill; Nov. 22, 1963 (video cued up below)

I recently created the video linked below, which puts all three of Lee Harvey Oswald's August 1963 New Orleans radio and television interviews on one single video: And here's quite a bit of interesting information from Vincent Bugliosi's 2007 book concerning Lee Oswald's New Orleans radio and TV appearances:

Yes he did. In his "Two Men In Dallas" interview, Craig clearly indicates that both he and Weitzman saw a "7.65 Mauser" stamp on the rifle as it was being held up by Capt. Fritz. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_YygHvgJjo6UTV5a2t6ZnBrbXc/view

No, he didn't. Yes. And the proof that Craig just made it up is HERE.

Bottom Line (re: the rifle found in the TSBD) --- It was a Carcano, as THE ALYEA FILM plainly illustrates (see photos below).

And to believe the police actually did find a Mauser in the Book Depository instead of Lee Oswald's Carcano is to believe the plotters who were attempting to frame Oswald for JFK's murder* must have had the collective I.Q. of a box of broken toothpicks, as they apparently thought they could frame Oswald by planting a Mauser in the TSBD even though they had to know that their designated patsy owned a Mannlicher-Carcano. (Brilliant move there, huh?) * And a huge number of conspiracy theorists all around the globe do, of course, hold the wholly unsupportable belief that Oswald was, indeed, being set up as the proverbial patsy on 11/22/63 AD. http://DVP's JFK Archives / Mauser Or Mannlicher-Carcano?

43 years ago today..... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They saw no such thing.

Because the entry hole in the SCALP looked quite different from the entry in the SKULL BONE. The scalp was completely intact in the back of the head, unlike the shattered skull bone.

I assume you meant to say 4 inches, not 4 centimeters. But, anyway, it wasn't the HSCA who first noticed and documented and reported on the fact that the autopsy doctors were wrong about the location of JFK's head entry wound....it was the Clark Panel ten years earlier. The HSCA merely confirmed the obviousness of the "cowlick" entry location: "There is an elliptical penetrating wound of the scalp situated near the midline and high above the hairline. The position of this wound corresponds to the hole in the skull seen in the lateral X-ray film #2. .... On one of the lateral films [X-rays] of the skull (#2), a hole measuring approximately 8 mm. in diameter on the outer surface of the skull and as much as 20 mm. on the internal surface can be seen in profile approximately 100 mm. above the external occipital protuberance. The bone of the lower edge of the hole is depressed." -- Via the 1968 Clark Panel Report ---------------------- From a 2015 discussion.... PAT SPEER SAID -- There is a red oval in this photo that resembles a gunshot wound. But it was not the bullet wound identified at the autopsy. DAVID VON PEIN SAID -- Yeah, yeah. Sure, Pat. That's why there's a ruler up next to the red spot. And that's why the red spot is the ONLY thing in that picture which comes even close to resembling a bullet hole. And that's why the HSCA and the Clark Panel BOTH confirmed via multiple measurements (in both the SCALP and the SKULL) that the entry wound on the back of President Kennedy's head was located approximately 100mm. above the EOP.
