A tremedous amount of valuable work, Robert. Thank you. I hope it stiumlates a lot more work from others, as well.

Is that sarcasm?

Are there ear-witnesses who said the the shooting sequence ended with a burst of machine gun fire?

Hm. The lead part of lots and lots of bullets can be around an inch-and-a-half. And I daresay that most hunting rounds are pointed. So the idea that this was an exotic round is just wrong.

Reading through this 5-month old stuff: Bullet wounds will close up behind the bullet. I have seen it with my own eyes. A small caliber bullet (or small shot from a shotgun) can enter the body and lead observers -- close, less than a foot away -- to believe that the bullet hadn't even entered the body, but only left a bruise. I vas dere, Chahlie.

What makes Newman's theory of the assassination nonsense?

David, I thought there were two men, as well, initially. But, further observation led me to believe that the "man" on the right is the shadow of the man on the left. And, the man is definitely holding something. And the something isn't very heavy because he seems to be holding it with only one hand at a very awkward angle. I still don't know what's happening for sure, but it may be that the man is raising the far end of the object over the cross piece of the street barricade.

The fake Selective Service card is a helluva mystery. What was it for? Any American man would have known it was bogus because Selective Service cards didn't have photos on them.

No, JJA wasn't Popov's mole, but I suspected him for years if for no other reason than he never seemed to be able to find the mole and because of his close association with Philby.

No one seems to have answered you directly. Popov, who defected in place, told his CIA contact (George Kisevalter) that the highest echelons of the CIA had been infiltrated. He had heard the information from KGB agents who was bragging. Hence, "Popov's mole."

Yes, a rifle was found shoved in between boxes and wasn't what one would call "well-hidden." The enclosure of boxes was the so-called "sniper's nest" in front of the window from which Oswald allegedly fired.

Have you read Newman's _Oswald and the CIA_?

I agree that Hemming was a blowhard. However, there WERE loose flooring boards on 6th and 7th. The flooring was being renovated.

Read Larry's _Tipping Point_.

"Here! Hear!" he cried and then banged his empty mug on the table, signalling the barmaid.

Exactly the thesis of Larry's _Tipping Point._ You must shoot your darlings.

It really is hard for me to wrap my head around Oswald's many possible covert employers. He goes to Russia either as CIA or ONI. He works to infiltrate both pro- and anti- Castro operations, almost certainly for the CIA. His relationship to Hosty is... odd. And it seems sensible to me to posit that he was working for ATF when he was ordering weapons. Who was he working for when he took the job at the Depository? Himself? That damned second bag in the dead mail office insures that his employment there was not un-intelligence related. He was there to take the fall and he thought he was doing something else

I think it was Douglass who said that worrying about who pulled the trigger from where was to reduce the assassination to a matter of "there was a guy in a car and another guy shot him." The military-industrial-intelligence complex had gotten away with so much abroad, they decided it was time to start picking and choosing presidents. When they couldn't swing an election (like 1976 and 1992), they had tools at hand to minimize the impact that said president could have on their agenda. 2008 wasn't a problem, the president kept the country neck deep in Iraq and Afghanistan, and was willing to sanction the murder of US citizens without due process. 2020 and war in the Ukraine and the military-industrial part is making money like never before. They make me sick.

What is the evidence for Oswald shooting at Walker? I've long thought that Walker arranged his own shooting, in an effort to drum up some free publicity. And he saw an opportunity to get double the results by claiming that Oswald had done it.

Also, Nosenko convinced Angleton that there was a mole and that Golytsin was sent over to protect said mole. EDITED: I said it backwards: Nosenko was sent sent to to make Golytsin out to be a xxxx in case Golytsin new the identity of the mole.

I think June was a US citizen at birth, as well. Lee was a US citizen who had spent 10 years prior to June's birth in the US, at least 5 of which were after the age of 14.

The link's not working for me, Douglas.

Yes, it appears that Oswald went by "Lee." Anytime that "Harvey" is used is suspect. Lee's actual position was as temporary labor, shoving books around while the new flooring was being laid.
