  1. Sandy, you've illustrated a Rollei camera. As far as I can remember, the Imperial Reflex didn't have an eye level viewfinder. So there would be no reason for it to be brought up to eye level.
  2. I agree with your comments, David. Lovelady moves from the left side of the top of the steps towards the middle, obviously because he wanted to watch the President's limo as it moved down Elm Street. I agree that behind Lovely, in the Hughes image, is a figure which is probably prayer man.
  3. If that happened, Sandy, wouldn't the text etc., be reversed?
  4. C.I.A.oath. “I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Schooled CIA employees know that the Constitution also defines the role of federal employees: "To establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty."
  5. Could Oswald's car been the Blue Chevrolet owned by Ruth Paine (Blue Chevrolet)?
  6. For what is is worth, my sister's estranged husband left Hungary, after the revolution, when he was sixteen, in 1953, and never learned Russian.
  7. From John Connally's autobiography entitled "In History's shadow" "..the most curious discovery of all took place when they rolled me off the stretcher, and onto the examining table. A metal object fell to the floor, with a click no louder than a wedding band. The nurse picked it up and slipped it into her pocket. It was the bullet from my body, the one that passed though my back, chest and wrist and worked itself loose from my thigh. There was enormous significance to that scrap of metal, but I can't be certain how many years later I understood the importance of it. I have always believed that three bullets found their mark. What happened in the hospital demonstrated how easily a bullet could have been swept aside and lost.."
  8. Buddy Walthers "Upon searching this house we found stacks of hand bills concerning "Cuba for Freedom" advertising, seeking publicity and support for Cuba. Also found was a set of metal file cabinets containing records that appeared to be names and activities of Cuban sympathizers. All of this evidence was confiscated and turned over to Captain Fritz of the Dallas Police Department and Secret Service Officers at the City Hall." "Mr. WALTHERS. You could tell it from the way it was tied and the impression of where that barrel went up in it where it was tied, that a rifle had been tied in it, but what kind---you couldn't tell, but you could tell a rifle had been wrapped up in it, and then we found some little metal file cabinets---I don't know what kind you would call them---they would carry an 8 by 10 folder, all right, but with a single handle on top of it and the handle moves. Mr. LIEBELER. About how many of them would you think there were? Mr. WALTHERS. There were six or seven, I believe, and I put them all in the trunk of my car and we also found a box of pictures, a bunch of pictures that we taken. "Some imagination."
  9. Agreed, James. In the Iraq war correspondents were embedded with various chosen units, and they were threatened that if they wrote anything which the military disagreed with they would be disembodied and lose their accreditation. The military learned the lesson of the Vietnam war when the press had a field day. Remember the films of the Choppers attacking Vietnamese villages?
  10. The original question did not require a yes or no answer. It asked what evidence was there that Lee beat Marina. Seems there wasn't much.
  11. "because he realized he could not continue to get away with it." Really, Mr Parnell. and you know this how, exactly?
  12. Logic has to be based on evidence, George. Not on what you think might have happened. There is no proof at all that what you said is true. The pity is you don't realise it.
  13. George, you just don't get it do you? You have just stated that it is your logical conclusion. That doesn't mean a carrot. The world is full of logical conclusions which are proved to be wrong. You are guessing. Cheers.
  14. George, I don't know which stretcher the bullet was found. Nobody knows including you. I criticise people who state things as being so, when they can't prove they are. Guesses are not the truth. You are correct I haven't solved anything. I have never claimed to do so. If you are after truth, don't guess.
  15. I don't have an opinion, George. I go by what the evidence says- not on what I guess happened.
  16. "I Believe...." that's all you need say, George. That's what I thought, you were just guessing. Case closed.
  17. The butt in the left photo has increased in size. So has the length of the scope and also the length of the stock under the barrel. (As shown by red lines.) I can't tell from the video, how the ends of the rifle compare.
  18. Joe, I wonder if Ruby warned the DPD that an attempt on Oswald's life would be made the next day, in order that he would be arrested before he managed to do it. He was obviously under orders to eradicate Oswald, and getting himself caught before he managed it, might have been a way of getting himself of the hook. Just wonderin'
  19. Thanks for posting the video, Roger. Seems to confirm that Dorothy was suicided. Just to sum up. Dorothy was found dead in bed wearing a hair piece, which she never slept in. Wearing nightclothes she never wore. Had slept with makeup on, which she never did. Wearing false eyelashes which she never did. In a bed she never slept in. In a bedroom she never slept in. No reading glasses were around,despite a book she had been reading was alongside her bed table. Two cops outside sitting in a car. Had been drinking cocktails, with her boy friend, Ron Pataky, hours before. (Pataky later wrote a poem “Vodka Roulette”, about poisoning somebody with spiked drinks) More than one barbiturate found in her blood.( Doctors used remaining tissue samples to ascertain that Kilgallen had in her system three barbiturates: pentobarbital, amobarbital, and secobarbital.) Body found at nine a.m. Police not called until 3 p.m. Medical Examiner from Manhattan where she died was not called, but instead the M.E. from Brooklyn was called. (Brooklyn M.E. Branch was allegedly controlled by the Mafia). No police investigation into her death. Strangely (or perhaps not), none of the above details are mentioned in McAdams dismissal of the suiciding of Dorothy. (See http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/death4.htm) Thankfully, the case is now being re-examined.
