Great first post, Robert. Welcome to the Forum.

The letter you quote above, Paul says this. " Dear Senator Church, The Warren Commission found and concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald attempted to assassinate the undersigned at his home, at 9 pm. on April 10,1963. The initial and immediate investigationat the time of the incident reported two men at my home,one with a gun, seen by an eye-witness --a neighbor. Within days I was informed by a Lieutenant on the Dallas City Police Force that Oswald was in custody by 12 pm. that night fo for questioning. He was released on higher authority than clia:* that in Dallas. There were two men, not a " Lonely Loner ". Please inform me if the CIA was involved in this attempted assassination ? "

Maybe Hosty just fancied Marina.

Agreed, Ron. For those who want to watch a BBC documentary on the Liberty.

Great post, Rob. Unfortunately the hawks in Russia soon got rid of Kruschev.

Castro was forced into the arms of Russia by the actions of the USA against Cuba.

Interesting debates a few years ago at the Washington Press club in front of retired Senators etc. Found the discussion every interesting. Hope you do.

Doesn't look anything like this back of the head does it.

Whaley describes "Oswald" as having on two jackets. Mr. WHALEY. That jacket now it might have been clean, but the jacket he had on looked more the color, you know like a uniform set, but he had this coat here on over that other jacket, I am sure, sir. Mr. BALL. This is the blue-gray jacket, heavy blue-gray jacket. Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir. " If it was Oswald, where did he get the blue-gray jacket from?

The turn is approx 150˚left. (NOT from an expert)

Thanks, Chris.

Interesting video, David. I wonder if that was the reason for them cutting so many frames out of the Zap film. At 1.21 (in the Towner film,) it seems to be the corner buildings to the right of Elm Street seem unreal..

In view of her support from McAdams, shouldn't Davidsonisms be renamed Davidsonoids?

Great reposte, up to your usual standard,David.

Yeh, go ahead and believe those statements which suit your stance, David. p.s Merry Christmas to you and all Forum members. Have a good one.

So according to Fritz, Oswald said he was having lunch on the first floor when the president was shot. Then he went upstairs and got a coke. So if you want to believe everything that Fritz said was true then Oswald couldn't have been on the sixth floor when the President was shot.

"Mr. FRITZ. I just wouldn't be sure because there were so many people talking at the same time, I might have; I am not sure whether I did or not. Mr. BALL. Did you think it was a Mauser? Mr. FRITZ. No, sir; I knew--you can read on the rifle what it was and you could also see on the cartridge what caliber it was. Mr. BALL. Well, did you ever make any---did you ever say that it was a 7.65 Mauser? Mr. FRITZ. No, sir; I am sure I did not. He "knew it was Mauser as he could read it on the rifle and he could also see the cartridge caliber" Yet he never said it was a 7.65 Mauser! Keystone Kops come to mind.

I wonder how he could afford a ranch on a patrolman's money.

You think murder is worth joking about, David? Shame.

What happened to Marrion Baker subsequently?

It is important to know which autopsy photographs Dr Mc saw when he said he agree with them. Without knowing that, we can only go on what he has always said that the hole in the back of the head was in the occipital region and the six of an orange. This is nothing like the damage shown to the top of the head.

For every doctor in Parkland to mistake this head wound for a wound in the occipital area the size of an orange, means one of two things. Either they were all blind and/or incompetent, or the damage seen was done after the body left Parkland.

Quote by {Pat Speer. " And, no, I'm not clutching at straws. While most recent manuals and websites describing tracheostomies describe a vertical incision, vertical incisions were not the norm in 1963. An Atlas of Head and Neck Surgery, by Dr. John M. Lore, Jr., a medical text from 1962, for example, instructs: "About one or two centimeters below the cricoid cartilage a horizontal incision is made from 4 to 6 cm in length." Well, heck, the incision on Kennedy's neck was reportedly 6.5 cm, only slightly wider than normal, and not the wide, gaping, act of mayhem claimed by all too many conspiracy theorists anxious to "debunk" the photos. " It would appear that you don't know the difference between length and width, Pat.

" Dr. Robert McClelland saying on PBS-TV in 1988 that the trach incision in the autopsy pictures looks "exactly the same size and the same configuration" as it was when he saw it at Parkland. " Do you know of certain which autopsy photos the doctors shown, David? If not. You can't say that the wound was the same as shown in the photos we see.
