I saw there that Marina's handwriting looks different to me from the writing of Oswald (Lee) and from the Selective Service Hidell signature. Would you take a look at Marina's handwriting compared to the Selective Service Hidell signature and give your opinion on this? Do you see any differently? Thanks.

 

Greg,

I think you're right.

The Hidell signature on these two documents do not look like the Hidell signature written by Marina as provided in VOLUME VIII of the the HSCA Report pp. 374 and 375.

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=379

I cannot say for certain that the SS card and PO order form were signed by Marina.

All I can say is that the situation is... muddled

These two Hidell signatures, Selective Service card (top) and the Klein’s rifle postal money order (bottom) visibly do not look written by the same person, nor did any handwriting expert claim they were.

Greg,

I am not a handwriting expert, but in my amateur opinion, they are written by the same person.

I say this for three reasons:

1) The way the two sides of the letter H do not touch,

2) The way the letter H flows into the letter I. This is very unusuaI. and consistent in both signaturs

3) The offset dot above the letter i. Again, this is consistent in both.

In my amateur opinion.

Nevada indicts pro-Trump fake electors: report

by Matthew Chapman December 6, 2023

https://www.rawstory.com/fake-electors/

“Nevada is the third state where fake electors have been criminally charged.

In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged several accused fake electors as part of a racketeering scheme that includes Trump himself.

And in Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel has brought felony charges against fake electors.”

That didn't go so well.

Kevin McCarthy announces he's leaving Congress

by Brad Reed December 6, 2023

“Just weeks after his historically short term as speaker ended, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced on Wednesday that he will be leaving Congress at the end of the year.

In an editorial published by the Wall Street Journal, McCarthy said that he would be stepping down from Congress "to serve America in new ways."”

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Meet Donald Trumps new Vice President.

 Steve,

Tom Gram said that you made a strong case for it being Marina who signed the postal money order for the rifle. His statement makes it sound like you believe that. (Which is fine.)

If Marina signed the PMO, then she likely did so for Oswald. So Tom's statement makes it sound like you believe Oswald bought the Carcano. (Which is fine.)

So do you believe that Oswald filled out the PMO and had Marina sign it with Hidell?

 

Sandy,

I honestly don't know.

The whole thing is just so suspicious, and that's what gets my Spidey senses tingling.

Except that Steve's argument -- as far as the rifle purchase goes -- assumes that Oswald actually purchased the rifle. Steve readily admits that to be an assumption.

Many researchers, including myself, think that Oswald had nothing to do with that rifle.

 

Sandy,

I was mostly concerned with the signature. That's really what links the rifle to Oswald. A guy named Scott testified to the HSCA said that the "fill-ins" on the Postal money order were in Oswald's handwriting, but he didn't address the signature.

As I sit here, I can't think of any time when Oswald actually signed the name Hidell to anything.

Earlier on Monday, attorneys for Trump requested permission to file for appeal after a lower appeals court reinstated the gag order last week.

"Without expedited review, Petitioners will continue to suffer irreparable injury daily, as they are silenced on matters implicating the appearance of bias and impropriety on the bench during a trial of immense stakes,"

Implicating the appearance...

In other words, I demand the right to smear people without any evidence whatsoever.

Steve Bannon calls for Civil War between MAGA and the GOP (video)

By Carla Sinclair 2:51 pm Fri Dec 1, 2023

https://boingboing.net/2023/12/01/steve-bannon-calls-for-civil-war-between-maga-and-the-gop-video.html

“Steve Bannon has been itching for a civil war, but after the George Santos expulsion today, the War Room podcaster got really specific on who the enemies were — and emphasized that it's not Republicans vs. Democrats anymore.

In fact, he targeted his vitriol not on the the usual suspects on the left, but instead on the "establishment" wing of the MAGA party, calling out Fox News, Kevin McCarthy, and the 105 Republicans who voted to oust the New York fraudmaker. (See video below, posted by @Brooklynwatch.)

"This is McCarthy screwing MAGA to jam up Mike Johnson. This is 100% McCarthy and his acolytes trying to make our job even tougher and even take away our majority," the former Trump strategist said. “

There is much wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.

ROLL CALL

I checked the roll call. As Steve has said, all the most powerful Republicans,

Mike Johnson, Mc Carthy , Scalise, Stepanik, voted to keep Santos.

All the Republicans who  voted to overturn the election, voted to keep Santos.That  includes  Mike Johnson, Kevin Mc Carthy, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green,Loren Boebert, Andy Biggs, Paul Gozar, Mo Brooks and Louie Gohmert.

All the Republicans who are suspected of directly aiding the Insurrection and the Insurrectionists, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Paul Gozar and Mo Brooks voted to keep Santos.

 

Kirk,

All of the Leadership said that the vote on Santos was a Vote of Conscience. They would not tell the membership how to vote.

Then at the last minute, the Leadership announced that they would all side with Santos.

The ordinary members are now looking sideways at their Leadership.

"You'd side with That Guy? Is that where your conscience lies? Maybe we'd better rethink this whole Leadership thing."

Their naked lust for power, even at the cost of their own souls, has been exposed for all to see.

Not only was Geprge Satos repudiated. The entire Republican House Leadership was repudiated. Johnson, Scalise, Stefanik and Emmer all voted not to expel Santos. Over 100 Republicans said, 'We don't care what you want. We're going to go our own way."

I found it in Walt Brown's Treachery in Dallas.  Two officers saw "mock target practice going on at the picket fence atop the knoll."  They arrived in time to see the suspects depart in haste.  Thinking it not important they didn't write it up in a report until after the assassination....  Attributed to H 11, pgs. 417-419?

Ron,

It's a little late, but I'm thinking ow that H-11, pp. 417-419 is Chapter 11 in a book authored by somebody whose name begins with the letter H.  Pages 417-419 would fit with a Chapter number as late as 11.

I don't know who this might be. I think the last book I read on the JFK Assassination was Six Seconds in Dallas back in the 1960's. 😀

An "incentive to curry favor..."

Looks like Donald Trump is trying again to get Mike Pence killed.

Trump lawyers suggest Mike Pence is colluding with Biden to bring down their client

by Brad Reed November 28, 2023

https://www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-2666375046/

“In a filing flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney, Trump attorneys suggested that Pence may have felt incentivized to turn on Trump because of leverage held over him by government prosecutors investigating his handling of classified documents.

"In January 2023, Vice President Mike Pence reportedly turned over at least a "dozen" documents bearing classification markings," the attorneys argue. "In February 2023, the FBI found at least one additional classified document at Vice President Pence's home... The potential charges faced by Vice President Pence gave him an incentive to curry favor with authorities by providing information that is consistent with the Biden Administration's preferred, and false, narrative regarding this case."

In fact, most legal experts predicted that Pence would face no charges at all for his retention of classified documents because, unlike Trump, he cooperated with investigators and did not try to obstruct law enforcement officials who were attempting to retrieve any documents.”

Can you spell bullseye on his back?

We have zombie Republican presidential candidates, enabled by an undead media
By Sidney Blumenthal
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/15/republicans-trump-zombie-candidates-sidney-blumenthal
"... the whole Trump storyline the base has embraced is false. From his branding in The Apprentice as a master of the universe to the big lie, the greatest con in American history would collapse. Rejecting the fable would demand of his followers that they recognize their own fallibility and gullibility. But they mirror their hero in associating self-reflection as a trait of their cultural elite enemies. To shake their spell, they would have to undergo a reversal of the plot of the early film classic of humans turned into zombies, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

But the Republican party would be the last place to conduct intensive deprogramming of Republicans. Instead, its enchanted base is doubling down in intensity. When the first indictment against Trump came down in New York in the campaign fraud case of paying hush money to a porn star, Trump’s believers rallied to him as savior and martyr, his polls shot up and the electability ploy dissolved into thin air. His Republican opponents were left with their hands raised in a salute to whoever the nominee would be, which would be Trump. They were the living dead."

Rather than accepting the fact that they could be so stupid, Trump's followers will double down and elevate him to the status of sainthood.
