Nor do CTers.....especially when it comes to the obviousness of the SBT. That became crystal clear right here at the EF almost ten years ago.

Well, Pat, given the wholly-untenable alternative(s) that would have no choice but to be true in order for the Single-Bullet Theory to not be true, I do indeed believe that the SBT can be categorized as more of a "fact" versus merely a "theory". After weighing all of the possible options and alternatives, it couldn't be clearer to me that the single-bullet conclusion is by far the best solution. And it's rather incredible to me that so many people have such a hard time seeing the obvious truth that resides within those three controversial letters—S.B.T.

I have frequently experienced that exact type of attitude being aimed at me by conspiracy theorists during the last 20+ years---at this forum and also at every other Internet forum I've joined since 2003---without exception. Most CTers I've encountered just simply cannot stand having their unprovable and untenable theories torn to shreds by anyone---be it an LNer or a fellow CTer like Patrick J. Speer. Such conspiracists prefer fantasy over reality (and facts). Sad indeed. But that's the way it is. At least that's been my experience since plugging in my first computer in September of 2000.

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 (from Nov. '63 alone). 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).
