Add to that that the rifle was addressed to Alex Hidell to a post office box in the name of Oswald, which means it should never have been accepted. It should have been "Returned to sender"

Richard, I don't think it is anything falling. I think it is Day lowering his arm from behind his head.

JFK wore a lower back corset outside his shirt. This would restrict any movement upwards of the shirt, no matter how many times he raised his arm. If the shirt couldn't move, and the position of the holes in the shirt and the jacket match, then the jacket didn't ride up either. As the holes in the jacket and shirt match the position of the bullet hole in JFK's back, the SBT is proven unsustainable

Merry Christmas to all the contributors on this (generally) friendly forum. May next year be the year that we solve the mystery.

Good. We're now up to two Edu. Forum members who embrace miracles. Thanks for the confirmation on your part, Ray. Don't you mean three, David? After all, you believe in the Magic bullet.

I disagree, Ray. The hairline is the same. Take a real close look. There's a "notch" in the hairline just like the passport photo. It just seems like the hair is combed just slightly different than the other photo. Also, in the Club Oswald's left ear looks bigger because I believe something or someone is right behind it. Maybe someone's hand. Kathy C The hairlines appear to be different to me. The guy on the right has a distinctive "V" in his hairline, whereas Oswald's isn't so distinctive. I also think their faces are different shapes. IMO.

No, David, the solution that makes most sense, is that the money order was faked. Live with it.

The hairline is different in the two photos.

Great review of the book, Jim. Just completed it and will be buying it shortly. Link to the review. http://www.ctka.net/2015/TalbotDulles.html

Interesting video,here, Kathleen. I wonder if Tippet had a mole on his left shoulder.

Whatever happens in the U.S. is of great importance to the rest of the world, unfortunately.

Duncan, does that mean that you have faked images, but not to fool anyone, or that you have never faked images at all?

Ed, I wondered why you had a long sleeve on the right arm of PM. If it's a long sleeve the sleeve must be two tone.

Ed, why would he be shielding his eyes when he was in the shade?

Not my theory, Tommy. I just believe that Baker was right with his first affidavit. You are free to believe what you want to believe. Thank you, Ray! --Tommy My pleasure, Tommy.

“Jenkins stated that the standard incisions in the cranium required to remove the brain — a ‘skull cap’ (his term for a craniotomy) — were not done, because they were not necessary. He thought this might be explained by prior incisions, meaning that some surgery had been done prior to the autopsy. He recalled that the damage to the top of the cranium was much more extensive than the damage to the brain itself, which he found unusual. Jenkins recalled Dr. Boswell asking if there had been surgery at Parkland Hospital. He recalled Dr. Humes saying: ‘The brain fell out in my hands,” as he removed the brain from the body.'” If no cranial surgery took place at Parkland, Pat, where do you think the "prior incisions" were made?

Jenkins said that when the body arrived it was wrapped in sheets. Other people, including Paul O'Connor, said that when it arrived it was in a body bag. The possibility arises that Jenkins wasn't there when the body first arrived.

Not necessarily, Pat. It could have been altered at Bethesda before the above witnesses saw it.

Statements by James Jenkins in a videotaped interview with Bill Law in 1998. "Dr Humes who removed the brain, made an exclamatory statement. "the damn thing fell out in my hand."Jenkins said that "The brain stem had already been severed... Some of the areas fragmented along the sagittal suture (drew0 comment (to the effect) that they looked like they had been surgically extended..some of the fragmented areas looked like they hd been cut by a scalpel to expand them. "To me," said Jenkins "this indicated that the brain had been surgically removed and then replaced." "“I came out of that autopsy expecting them to say that there were two shooters, one in the right front, one behind” “What we saw that night was nothing relating to the (final and official) pathology report. There was no relation to it” ​If Jenkins was with the body from its arrival to the autopsy, when did the above scapel cuts take place?

So a trained cop doesn't know when he has reached the second floor. You think he mistook a turn in the stairs for a floor? He saw a man walking away from him not that he walked into the lunch room and accosted him. If you believe his later version, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested in. It's a confusing building, Ray. Maybe that's one of the reasons it was chosen. It has a passenger elevator that only goes to up to the fourth floor, stairs near the front door that only go up to the second floor, a basement that's half above ground and half under ground, split-level stairways, eccentric freight elevators, etc. Baker was a motorcycle cop, not an architect. He had lots on his mind. No wonder he was confused. If I had been Baker, I, too, probably would have been confused, when I was writing my report, about which floor I had encountered Oswald on in that darn building. Why? For the simple reason that I wouldn't have made any special effort to remember the incident. Based on what Truly had told me about him at the time, I would have thought that Oswald was of no consequence. I don't know about you, but I don't try to remember details of things that I think are of no consequence in my life. I have a hard enough time remembering the things I think are important! --Tommy A cop trained to be observant described a guy on the third or fourth floor as "... a white man approximately 30 years old, 5'9", 165 pounds, dark hair and wearing a light brown jacket." Third or fourth floor.....no.... ..second floor (allegedly) White man................... check 30 years old................ no...... 24 years old. 165 lbs..........................no..... 131 lbs dark hair..............,,,,,,,,,,check Light brown jacket.......No ... patterned shirt. I go with his first affidavit. Ray, Ironically (?) the height and weight match almost perfectly those sneakily given for Oswald by FBI agent John Fain back in 1960 when he interviewed Marguerite (who later said Lee never weighed more than 150 pounds in his life) after Oswald had "defected" to the U.S.S.R. These "vitals" for Oswald were forwarded to CIA which incorporated them into its computerized Biographical Registry, probably as part of an ongoing "mole hunt" involving another "defector," Robert Webster, at the time. --Tommy PS Baker wasn't "trained as an observer." Studies have shown that policemen don't remember things any better than the common person. Yes, strange co-incidence that the description almost agrees word for word with the CIA description. Nothing to see here. Move along. Re cops not being trained observers, I disagree as one of the attributes top being in law enforcement is as follows. "When an officer has properly developed his power of observation, he automatically responds to noises, sights, and smells that are not part of the everyday tenor of his surroundings. " From the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. Maybe Baker hadn't developed his powers of observation but most normal cops do.

The lunch room encounter story is a farce. This is what happened according to Baker's first day affidavit. "Friday November 22, 1963 I was riding motorcycle escort for the President of the United States. At approximately 12:30 pm I was on Houston Street and the President's car had made a left turn from Houston onto Elm Street. Just as I approached Elm Street and Houston I heard three shots. I realized those shots were rifle shots and I began to try to figure out where they came from. I decided the shots had come from the building on the northwest corner of Elm and Houston. This building is used by the Board of Education for book storage. I jumped off my motor and ran inside the building. As I entered the door I saw several people standing around. I asked these people where the stairs were. A man stepped forward and stated he was the building manager and that he would show me where the stairs were. I followed the man to the rear of the building and he said, "Let's take the elevator." The elevator was hung several floors up so we used the stairs instead. As we reached the third or fourth floor I saw a man walking away from the stairway. I called to the man and he turned around and came back toward me. The manager said, "I know that man, he works here." I then turned the man loose and went up to the top floor. The man I saw was a white man approximately 30 years old, 5'9", 165 pounds, dark hair and wearing a light brown jacket." No mention of a lunch room. He saw a man walking away from the stairway. A totally different story to his later fiction.
