The notion that we must have documentary evidence or proof of the Z film being skirted away for clandestine alteration in order to prove that alteration actually occurred is folly. That is like saying that the only way of knowing a mouse ate a cookie would be to have documentary evidence or proof of having a mouse infestation. If at one moment you have a cookie and at a later moment it is gone, and there is no way a person or animal could have gotten in to take it, the disappearance of the cookie alone is sufficient proof that you have a mouse. Unless you believe in magic.
The fact that the Zapruder film shows a huge chunk of the head being blasted out of the right temple area, and that not a single medical professional saw such a wound; the autopsy photos show no such wound; and the autopsy report notes no such wound, is sufficient evidence to prove that the Z film was altered.
Knowing anything beyond that -- like how the film was skirted off to Hawkeye Works -- is icing on the cake.

It is unclear what truly prompted President Biden to take a flamethrower to an Act of Congress that he himself voted for in 1992 as a member of the Senate...
It's pretty obvious to me that Biden doesn't want the American public to know that the CIA killed President Kennedy. Not only would that put a big black eye on American history, but it would lead to the dismantling of the CIA.
What is also obvious to me is that in no way is Trump going to get the records released.

Trading release of the JFK files for a Christian Fascist dictatorship isn't such a hot deal, is it?
I agree Cliff, that's a terrible deal. Even if it were guaranteed the JFK record would be released if Trump were elected, I'd still vote against him. There's just too much damage he could do to our democracy and who knows what else.

Binge-watch Breaking Bad then binge it's equally great prequel series Better Call Saul.
It's a month well spent.
Interesting. But what order should I watch them? Any preference?

It's a letter that Anthony Hopkins just wrote to Bryan Cranston after watching Breaking Bad.
...It thought it was the best television series since Twin Peaks and Rod Serling's original Twilight Zone.
Great writing. Great cinematography. Great acting.
William,
My 14 year old daughter has been watching Breaking Bad (she's on the final season now) and she's been trying to get me to watch it. She said it's the best series she has ever watched.
Now I know she has good taste.

Oh no... this is so sad. (I didn't read the thread till just now.) Thankfully the Talbots will be getting some help through the generosity of David's adoring fans, friends, and followers.
Take care, David. Wishing for the best possible recovery.

I've wondered the same things, Denny.
If I ever want to discuss Star Wars, maybe I'll start a thread titled "RFK1A, R2D2, and the JFKA."

Sandy's account doesn't reflect that of [Peter Dale ] Scott, ...
My info comes from Deep Politics III, year 2000. Jeremy gets his info from the Deep Politics and the Death of JFK, year 1993. The two may differ.
3 hours ago, Jeremy Bojczuk said:Sandy's account doesn't reflect that of Scott, who sees the 'Phase 2' story as a built-in consequence of the 'Phase 1' story, rather than a back-up plan in case the 'Phase 1' story didn't work out.
Scott doesn't describe Phase Two of the plot as being a "consequence" of Phase One. He describes it as an alternative... one that would be chosen in the event that Phase One was rejected due to its potential for leading to nuclear war. From State Secret III:
Phase One put forward the phantom of an international plot, linking Oswald to the USSR, to Cuba, or to both countries together. This phantom was used to invoke the danger of a possible nuclear confrontation, which induced Chief Justice Earl Warren and other political notables to accept Phase Two, the equally false (but less dangerous) hypothesis that Oswald killed the President all by himself.

For the record, I never said that.

There's huge problem with this, however. Horne claims the film was altered to add a giant explosion from the front of the skull. Well Brugioni claimed the explosion he saw on 11-22-63 was bigger and went even higher than the one on the current film.
It doesn't add up, right?
Well geez Pat, of course it doesn't add up when you paraphrase it with your own spin and biases added. It probably would add up if Horne explained it himself.

This is what Lifton was working on over his last few years. It was discussed on some threads that came out after he died.
Thanks Pat. Somehow I missed those threads. Could have been when I was in the hospital.
The theory is highly unlikely of course, but I wouldn't mind seeing Lifton's evidence.
1 hour ago, Pat Speer said:...some years ago a certain person using a fake name and secretly pushing a bizarre agenda joined the forum, and wrote long detailed posts claiming the tracheotomy performed by Perry was really the cause of death and that Malcolm Perry had killed Kennedy.
I can't believe that I remember this particular forum member's name after all these years, but Ashton Gray had an idea where a Parkland doctor could have killed Kennedy with a special kind of needle, and nobody there would noticed that he wasn't just performing a tracheotomy. I recall he was a temperamental guy. I once referred to this idea as "Ashton's theory" and he responded with a post saying "Kerplunk!" or something like that. I later learned that, though he liked to talk about the theory and show a photo of the special needle, he hated people calling the idea his theory. And that his "Kerplunk!" meant that he was putting me on ignore.

What kind of idiotic conspirators would spend months on a plot only to have to then ALTER most if not all of the primary evidence resulting from the crime?
I''ll tell you what kind. The kind who don't want to be investigated by the FBI for the assassination. I don't know how you can not understand that.
57 minutes ago, Jonathan Cohen said:Plus, as Jeremy, Tom and others in this thread have shown, the Zapruder film was most definitely NOT "altered right away."
They haven't shown that. The second NPIC team may have had a copy of the Z film twice, the first time to make the briefing boards, and the second time to do the timing analysis.

But I fear we're supposed to take it seriously...and that some of the same people who currently attack reasonable people for not taking the words of the Parkland witnesses as gospel---will pull a 180 like Lifton and start attacking reasonable people for not believing some of the Parkland witnesses were in on the plot.
Pat,
I've never heard of a conspiracy theory where it is thought that Parkland witnesses were in on the plot.
Can you give me names of some who believe that, and what the role of the Parkland witnesses supposedly was?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the claim seems to be that the same people ("the CIA", however that term is defined):
- carried out the assassination using more than one gunman;
- wanted the public to believe that the assassination was actually the work of a lone gunman;
- chose Oswald in advance as the lone-gunman patsy;
- seized the Zapruder film;
- and altered the Zapruder film to remove evidence of more than one gunman.
- (And failed to remove such evidence, but we'll leave that for now).
The question I asked was: Why does Roger assume that the conspirators wanted the public to believe that the assassination was carried out by a lone gunman? Roger's answer: "They needed a story to cover up what they did and blame someone else."
Peter Dale Scott's "Phase 1 / Phase 2" theory explains the need for the above actions.
According to PDS, the CIA plotters used the Mexico City trip to make it appear that Oswald had contracted with the Cubans and Russians to kill Kennedy. One witness said he saw Oswald paid $6500 in the Cuban Consulate for the hit. Of course, that was just one of the fake statements paid for by the CIA to incriminate both Oswald and the Cubans/Russians. PDS calls this Phase 1 of the plot, its purpose being to create a pretext for war with either Cuba or Russia.
The CIA also created an alternative scenario where Oswald acted on his own and had nothing to do with Cuba and Russia. PDS calls this Phase 2. The purpose of Phase 2 was to provide a ready-made suspect just in case something went wrong with Phase 1. For example, in case the new president LBJ wasn't interested in invading Cuba or a first nuclear strike on Russia -- the two things the JCS wanted BTW.
Something did go wrong and Phase 2 was scrapped. Phase 1 kicked in and gave the Feds a culprit... Lee Harvey Oswald. Phase 1 did its job and kept the Feds from investigating any further, which could have otherwise led to their discovering the CIA was behind the assassination.
Having explained Phase 1 / Phase 2 ...
It was essential that the CIA plotters make Phase 2 a viable solution to the crime, just in case that route prevailed. The "best evidence" needed to support a lone gunman culprit, and so that evidence needed to be controlled by the CIA. Which is why the CIA controlled the autopsy, the autopsy photos, and any film that had a great view of the head shots... which was the Z film.
Both the Z film and the autopsy were altered right away in order to move the wound from off the back of the head. The autopsy photos were altered later on. (No rush was necessary for them.) Unfortunately for the CIA plotters and fortunately for us, alterations to the autopsy and autopsy photos don't match those on the Z film. If you watch the Z film carefully, you will see that a huge chunk of Kennedy's head centered on his right temple were blasted away.
Compare that to the autopsy photos that have the temple intact. And compare to the autopsy, which has the blowout wound further to the back, above the right ear.
Then, of course, is the fact that nearly every witness to the gaping wound (about 45 of them) said that it was on the back of the head. And none of them saw the damage depicted on the Z film.

Lincoln [JFK's secretary] said Kennedy even asked her to help sneak women into the White House.
"You know women chased him. Let's face it. There were young women. There were older women. They all did. I spent half of my time talking to women."
Gee, I wonder why the author of that hit piece on Kennedy chose to paraphrase what I highlighted in red rather than directly quoting her. Could it be that it gave him a lot of freedom in the words he put into her mouth? So he has her saying what he wants her to say?
A typical gossip rag tactic.

I fear Putin isn't fooling around this time. The countdown has begun. It all could happen in the near future, maybe before the November election.
From the article:
It’s not the first time Russia has sent its warships to the Caribbean, but this week’s visit follows Putin’s warning that Moscow could respond to Ukraine’s Western allies allowing Kyiv to use their weapons to strike targets in Russia by giving similar weapons to adversaries of the West worldwide.
If I were Biden, I would consider threatening to bomb any weapons being unloaded from Russian ships on Caribbean countries.

I see that Ron Bulman is now a moderator. (Though not admin like before.)
He might do this for you.
On the other hand, he might be afraid to, after seeing what happened to me.

Mr. Larsen, I ask that you, as a Moderator of this forum, address this "false information" posted by Gil Jesus.
Bill,
Yes, it is indeed a violation of forum rules to post false information.
However, last week I learned the hard way that prominent researchers are exempt from the rule. At least Pat Speer is. He did post two lies and he wouldn't correct them, so I penalized him.
The site owner, Jame Gordon, relieved me of my moderator duties as a result. For which Pats bootlickers are pleased.
As I demonstrated with Pat, I don't play favorites. And so I would have done the same for you regardless of the fact that you are an LNer. Had you proven that Gil's information was wrong, and had he refused to correct it, I would have penalized him for the violation.
I don't know if the remaining moderator, Mark Knight, would do the same for you. But just be forewarned that Mark has a hard time distinguishing between "a difference of opinion" and "a difference in truth." Which is also something I found out the hard way.

Mark: I think Matthew's last name show's where his loyalties lie. Whether he's related to them or not.
Well, it appears you might be right about Mark Knight using your last name against you. I can't say for sure because it looks like you're just going from memory.
But I certainly didn't did use your last name. That's just not something I do.
But I do recall making an observation like what you describe, comparing your politics to Ben Cole's. The reason being that, on the surface his and yours seem very much the same with Trump/MAGA like qualities. I said something like, Matthew is MAGA but Ben only wants to be. He can't because he doesn't like Trump.
What I said was meant to be in jest.
