    Part 2:  Revised London trial.

    Lane:  Dr Petty do you know a man named John Stringer?

    Petty: I think he was the official autopsy photographer in the JFK case.

    Lane: Yes he was.  I did a deposition with him at NARA and showed him his alleged photos.  I asked him what kind of film the photos were based on.  As I hand you this court certified deposition, please turn to page six as I have underlined his reply. Please read it to the jury.

    Petty: This is Ansco film.

    Lane:  Now read the next question.

    Petty: Did you use Ansco?

    Lane: And what is the reply?

    Petty: No, I used Kodak.

    Lane:  Now, Dr. Petty you know what a press pack technique is, correct?

    Petty: Yes its when you take a series of photos in one camera.  And the pictures come out with numbers on them.

    Lane:  Please go to page nine in the transcript and read the question i asked him about this.

    Bugliosi: Your honor this is highly irregular.

    Judge: You agreed to his counselor.  Objection overruled. Hm.  I have to say, its getting interesting.

    Petty: The question is Did you use the press pack technique?

    Lane:  And what did he reply, please read the whole response.

    Petty: The witness got up and walked over to the photos, he started to look at the number in the corner.  He said, "See these numbers, this is a press pack. That is why the numbers are there. I did not use press pack.  I used duplex holders"

    Lane:  Now you know the difference between the two methods do you not?

    Petty: Yes I do.

    Lane: Could an experienced autopsy photographer really confuse one with the other?

    Petty: I don't think so.

     

     

    Lane is crushing Bugliosi with his Petty questioning.

    Just blowing him away!

    Part 4: Revised London Trial

    Lane:  Your honor, with the pictures brought into question and the brain weight now in dispute, I would like to show another video.  

    Bugliosi: (Pleading in his voice) Your honor please!

    Lane: Your honor this will all be very relevant to the question I am  posing, its a film of primary witnesses who all saw Kennedy's brain the day he was killed.

    Judge: I think that is relevant.

    Lane shows the montage video of witnesses.

    Lane:  Now your honor, I have a matching transcript which I will submit.  But I would note that there are as many witnesses from Parkland as from Bethesda who all say that there was a substantial part of Kennedy's brain missing that day. I mean, this includes FBI agents at the autopsy, Dr, Carrico from Parkland, mortician Tom Robinson.  Twelve witnesses total.  Can they all be wrong about what they saw?  Their testimony matches the previous montage I showed you about Kennedy's head exploding in Dealey Plaza. In fact, your illustration for the HSCA shows a pretty much intact brain Dr, petty does it not?

    Petty: Yes I would say so.

    Joe,

    Knowing you...you have already watched this.Jenkins on camera is the stuff I like.He was the only person that was in the autopy room from the very start to the very finish.He did not ever have to leave.Not even when they took X-rays.

     

    40 minutes into the top video I have to take a break.

    Jenkins quotes Humes as saying "The damn thing just fell into my hands." Referring to Humes pulling JFK's brain out of his skull.

    Jenkins mentioned the brain stem showing uneven cut marks on one side versus the other which seemed untypical in his experience.

    How did Humes get to the unopened skull front area to cut JFK's optic nerves to the eyes which had to be done to free the brain from them?

    Jenkins said there was no cranium skull sawing at all.

    Jenkins explanation as to how they got the brain out without sawing and even peeling back the dura matter was confoundingly vague.

    Jenkins said the brain handed to him was smaller than a typical man's brain in his opinion. More typical of woman's smaller brain.

    It was frustrating to listen to Jenkins halting answers. 

    When Jenkins was asked about the damage he saw to the brain handed to him, he again was halting and more nonspecific than specific.

    I wanted to shout to him...look, how much of the brain was flat out missing and in what area?

    He said parts of the brain seemed gelatinous which he explained was sometimes caused by trauma to that area.

    So far, the information Jenkins is sharing in this interview is astounding in it's contrariness to Humes vague recollections and much more detailed.

    Jenkins mentioned Paul O'Conner's presence right there next to him most of the time during the autopsy with his occasional absence to retrieve various items needed for autopsy doings. Verifying O'Conner's claims that he was.

    I haven't yet heard Jenkins account of the shipping container he and O'Conner lifted JFK's body out of to place his wrapped body onto any exam gurney or table.

    Was his description of this different than Humes description of taking JFK's body right out of the huge weight ornate one from the Dallas funeral home.

  4. Fritz was probably told that he had all the evidence and testimony he needed to charge Oswald with JFK's murder...and not to allow any more side evidence to be taken in.

    "This case is cinched!" Fritz shouted to the press one or two days after 11,22,1962.

    Cheramie's story checked out in it's most basic points.

    Garrison found out that Cheramie and her two companions did indeed stop at the Silver Slipper bar and lounge. Jack Ruby once operated this club!

    Cheramie was kicked out to fend for herself on the highway.

    Her story about meeting someone in a drug smuggling ring ( Galveston? ) coming off a boat there to get drugs checked out.

    She actually did work for Jack Ruby at one of his clubs for a brief time. She knew who he was.

    Wonder whether Louisiana State police officer Francis Fruge was ever even brought up to any member of the WC investigative team.

    Rose Cheramie ( Melba Marcades ) was born to live a sad and losing life.

    What a tragic figure.

    Just to be contrarian I don't see Mexico City as important in establishing an image for Oswald - by the time he left New Orleans he had been on radio, the newspapers, in Court and on TV as an activist Castro supporter.  I've not been able to make much of an impression with the fact that we have learned the DRE was heavily propagandizing  that in Miami in late August and September - including letters on Oswald to different exile groups and was even writing to Congress about Oswald as  a perfect example of evil Cuban influence. I'm afraid a lot of Jeff Moreley's great work is not getting really registered - including confirmation from DRE senior officers that they were happy to be leveraging Oswald in propaganda as they is what the CIA was paying them to do. 

    We also know that a record was being made that fall for use in propaganda against Castro based on his visibility in NO, it was ready for distribution at the time of the assassination and that INCA had a whole campaign built around it (possibly with Phillips support) and there were other elements of a campaign ready and in progress ( lay this all out in Tipping Point).  Phillips had already prepared one of his private news sources for the story on Oswald as linked to Cuba and Russia - and on the day of the assassination reporters were being referred to him by AP. You did not need Mexico City to produce the newspaper headlines I put on the front of Tipping Point - if anything there had to be a lot of work to quickly shift the media away from the Cuba/Castro headline and to a lone nut image. 

    Your assessment makes more sense regards any patsy sheep dipping than my Mexico City one.

  6. I assume there isn't much direct evidence or first-hand testimony information about Phillip's brother's deep animosity toward him.

    What was the general explanation for their estrangement?

    Pretty bad when a brother is at his dying brother's bedside and he still doesn't express any brotherly love forgiveness and only wants to know if the dying brother was in Dallas on 11,22,1963?

    If that story is true it could suggest that Phillip's brother was truly believing DAP had something to do with JFK's murder and his sense of highest importance humanity morality overrode any forgiving brotherly love?

    What's the thing with Phillips and Hunt writing their fictional but suspected coded truth revealing spy books?

    They were literate men who probably enjoyed writing and were pretty good at it to boot.

    But strictly spy subject mostly?

    Were they thinking they might possibly break into the super lucrative "Ian Fleming" big money JAMES BOND spy novel echelon with possibly even more big money movie deals?

    Writing stories based on their highest level spy craft and personal experiences in such sounds kind of risky on their part imo.

    Might they reveal a little too much about certain secret events and high level individuals involved?

    Phillips even wrote about an assassination plot?

    Or, did they receive guaranteed advances from selected publishers for their books which has so often been referred to as a kind of laundered side income or even payoff system?

    Hillary Clinton was paid an enormous up-front sum for her book.

    George W. Bush got what $10 MILLION for his memoirs? A book he didn't even write? It was written by one or more ghost writers.

    So many other politicians, same thing.

    Enormous after office speaking fees make more millions. I've long ago became convinced that gig was and always has been an obvious pay-off one.

    Oswald's trip to Mexico City is the Rosetta Stone of conspiracy for many believers that Oswald was influenced and/or used by others.

    It was so suspiciously illogical.

    What is an unemployed, failed family providing nobody with not even a residence doing taking such a provocative intrigue trip like that ( and that must have cost more than a month's rent) at a time when his pregnant wife and child are only surviving by the total needs providing efforts of an outside person who he personally greatly dislikes and even resents?

    The entire Mexico City adventure reeks of sheep dipping patsy set up intrigue.

    But by whom? And for what over-all motive? 

    Did DAP write that tale?

    Forgive my muddled mind.  How might this relate to shall we say two cigarettes in the ashtray at the HSCA and his walking out on them?  Was it Lopez who wanted to file charges on him but Blakey ignored it? 

    When Phillips just up and walked out of hearing in the middle of his being questioned I also felt great suspicion about that event.

    Even more so when there was absolutely no action taken on the part of the hearing panel to have him brought back in and/or to charge him with contempt.

    In my mind, Phillip's aggressive "F*** Y**" walk out with no repercussions was a power play that revealed Phillip's arrogant mind set that he was way above the rules of this weak entity committee and embarrassingly depicted this to be the case.

    Boswell was the one who had the brain in his hands & handed it off to James Jenkins.

    According to Jenkins,the autopsy Dr's. would be the person that wrote down the weight of the brain.

    In this case...it was Jenkins who was writing down MOST of the weights.

    For whatever reason (and we know why) the brain weight was not written down that night.

    Did Boswell remove JFK's brain from his skull? 

    Or did Humes? 

    Did Humes or Boswell cut JFK's brain stem?

    If Boswell handed JFK's brain to Jenkins, that suggests Jenkins was not far away from Boswell and or Humes during the brain removal...correct?

    Did Jenkins describe anything specific regards the removal that was different than a normal saw cutting and pulling down, then eye nerve and muscle cutting procedure that Corpsman Paul O'Conner described in his "Trial Of Lee Oswald" testimony?

    From the X-rays of the top of JFK's skull it was hugely shattered into many separated pieces. Cutting through that with a power saw seems like it would have been a bloody mess.

    The actual removal of JFK's brain is a poorly described action in Humes's transcribed testimony imo. 

    Like his answers as to why the brain wasn't weighed. 

    Humes described most of his recollections of his autopsy actions in great and well recalled detail. The few that were vague seemed oddly selective.

    In slow motion viewing of the Z film, it was always clear to me that you can actually see a large part of JFK's skull top being unnaturally uplifted upon the bullet strike.

    I believe it is a visual of the massive shattering of the upper skull in live time.

    We also see a large bone flap separate outward above JFK's right ear where you can actually see a glistening wet tissue exposure underneath accompanied by a bright red/pink 5 to 6 foot high and broad tissue and fluid spray cloud that was so condensed it wafted back hitting the Dallas motorcycle officers full on with enough force they could feel it doing so.

    Is all that combined explosive damage to JFK's skull and brain somewhat typical to other human or animal headshots from a high powered rifle?

    The testimony that JFK's brain was not significantly damaged through all the massive and explosive skull damage you can so clearly see in the Z-film just doesn't seem possible imo.

    They take photos because witness statements and recollections are notoriously inaccurate. In Hill's case, he has been consistent since day one that there was a large wound on the top of the back of the head--which he has clarified to mean above and slightly behind the right ear. (The use of him to indicate there was a blow-out wound low on the back of the head--overlying the occipital bone--is a con job, IMO.) He has also been consistent in that it looked like a scoop had  been taken to the brain, i.e. that a lot of substance was missing from the top of the brain. This is both consistent with the autopsy photos and autopsy protocol. It is also inconsistent with the subsequent statements of Dr. Baden--that a largely intact bullet exited the brain and broke up on the windshield strut.

    FWIW, The HSCA FPP knew that having missing scalp overlying missing brain meant death to the single-assassin solution, and so conjured up the claim very little scalp was actually missing, and that it could be folded back into place. They admitted, moreover, that Humes et al said scalp was missing, but said they must have been mistaken. They hid of course that Dr. Clark had previously and separately concluded that scalp was missing over the large defect. 

    The missing scalp is the smoking gun, IMO. Missing scalp designates an impact location. The bullet impacted at the the large defect. it's a scientific fact. 

    It's a pity that so much time has been wasted trying to prove the medical evidence is fake when the medical evidence has been clear-cut proof of conspiracy...from day one.

    Yes, there are photos of the brain. The Dox drawing published by the HSCA is one of them. I have looked at the photos of dozens if not hundreds of brains of gunshot victims. And JFK's brain is severely damaged, not at all what one would expect for a brain in which a largely intact bullet traversed from low to high, while leaving a small round hole at exit. 

    And yes, I know, that last bit sounds curious. The "official" solution pushed by Baden et al was that the bullet exited largely intact and broke up after hitting the windshield strut. They needed to say this in order to avoid what I believe is an over-looked issue regarding the medical evidence. This issue is the large fracture emanating from the large defect. IF the bullet exited in pieces, this fracture would not have been so large. So the HSCA FPP mused that the exiting projectile must have been at least as large as the two recovered fragments. Well, this was SMOKE, seeing as they'd suggested that the large fragment on the x-rays was a slice from the middle of the bullet. (I mean, how else can one explain that this slice was 6.5 mm?) When subsequently confronted on this, moreover, Baden blew more smoke. He said it was incorrect to assume the supposedly 6.5 mm fragment came from the middle, and that it actually rubbed off the back of the bullet. What the? 

     

     

    PS...from the photos you viewed of JFK's removed brain, surely you must have seen a noticeable chunk missing from the back of it?

    Inches away Clint Hill testified to the WARREN COMMISSION:

    Mr. SPECTER. What did you observe as to President Kennedy's condition on arrival at the hospital?
    Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one "large gaping wound" in the right rear portion of the head.

    So it's totally possible the brain weighed close to 1500 gm and they rounded up, or even that they just put down a number. In any event, it's unlikely they put down the 1500 gm to try to cover up the damage to the brain when the report and photos showed a severely damaged brain, with damage incompatible with the single-assassin solution. 

    There were photos of JFK's removed brain?

    Ones that showed it being "severely damaged?"

    I have never seen photos of the removed brain.

    Even saturating formalin could not bring a half or even 1/3rd missing brain up to a full normal brain weight of 1500 grams...could it?

    I know it's an assumption but it makes a lot of sense.  Those kinds of people do not want this kind of publicity.

    Think of the tens or even hundreds of thousands of persons in high private business, military or political career positions and how many truth secrets they surely knew but would never reveal, acknowledge or discuss to protect their standings or maybe even culpability in?

    One of the top three reasons major secrets are kept.

    Dallas FBI SA James Hosty kept the truth of his destroying his office's Lee Harvey Oswald file from the Warren Commission just days after the JFKA.

    Only revealing this years later upon writing his own book about his involvement with the JFK event and Lee Oswald and Marina titled "Assignment Oswald."

    Can anyone imagine what that Lee Oswald FBI file destroying "truth" would have done to the entire Warren Commission investigation direction and context if Hosty had revealed it just months after did it in his Warren Commission testimony giving appearance?

    Joe, the reason for the silence is boredom and boring rehashed stories do not gain audiences and therefore they do not sell commercial airtime for big bucks. What is wanted is new material. I have some new material.

    There are ever new generations besides ours who really haven't heard much of even the "rehashed" JFKA stories as you describe MH imo.

    And yet I think they could be pulled into wanting to know more about it.

    For those younger people the story could still be a fascinating one if as you say it could be told perhaps in a new and different way and especially if they have an inclination for history. Which every new generation will always possess to predictable degrees.

    Over the years I recall even our generation feeling our parent's WWII stories were old hat after a time. Same with their experiencing the great Depression.

    Our grandparent's or great grandparent's great historical event stories even more so.

    Seems every year of my life the story of the Jewish holocaust is repeated over and over, year after year, in film especially. An almost 90 year old story. Yet, I still find that story fascinating for many important reasons.

    I remember a major studio film about Lincoln's assassination made about 11 years ago.

    Lincoln is a 2012 American biographical historical drama film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as United States President Abraham Lincoln.[8] It featured Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook, Robin Wright and Tommy Lee Jones in supporting roles.

    Talk about a "rehashed" 145 year old and thousand times told story?

    Yet, it was a still a great and captivating film, told in a way that gave it new and relative meaning and interest to a 7 generations later audience.

    Stone's FILM "JFK" came out 30 years after 11,22,1963.

    Though 30 years removed from the original event, that film blew away it's packed audiences here and world wide!

    As you say, it was presented in a new way unlike any JFKA film previous.

    David Mamet was close to making a JFKA related film about 10 or more years ago tentatively titled "Black Bird." It's story plot line was very different and sounded fascinating. The main lead star was going to be the great Cate Blanchett!

    I couldn't wait to see such a film especially scripted by one of the greatest film writers ever. Unfortunately the film got canned.

    I "still" think a major A-list film about the nationally famous and influential celebrity Dorothy Kilgallen ( even though her story is over 50 years old ) would do well in theaters or at least with a TV audience, especially if it's cast was made up of our most famous and talented actors.

    I would build the story ( her life was fascinating on it's own ) to a JFKA climax and her own totally suspicious murder...leaving the audience with pondering the reality that powerful domestic forces and groups had her silenced because of what she learned about Jack Ruby and the forces that enabled him to whack the most important criminal suspect in American History in the most improbable circumstances imaginable. Right inside of the Dallas PD building with 75 armed police all around.

    That would be a creatively new way to tell the thousandth time told ( rehashed ) story of the Jack Ruby/Lee Harvey Oswald historical event.

     

     

     

     

  15. The 50th brought out a lot of mention and coverage. 

    Hardly any on the successive 11,22 dates since then. 

    Last few years, I personally didn't see "any" mention of the JFKA anywhere!

    I would hope that the 60th brings more mention than that.

    I would hope this would include at least a couple of our national TV networks showing Oliver Stone's still powerful "JFK" film in the months of October and November.

    Maybe even some mention of Stone and Jim Di's film "JFK Revisited?"

    And maybe more interviews on national radio?

    But remember in addition to not sectioning the brain, Humes did not weigh the brain the night of the autopsy.

    Which is really kind of stunning.

    So , I am not sure but  I think the supplementary is the first time that this 1500 gram weight appears in the official record.  I am sure Pat Speer can correct me if I am wrong.

    But as I noted, only Humes signed off on that.  On the last separate page, its Stover and Galloway certifying it.

    And the date of 12/6 is handwritten.  

    Whew.  >>>>  If there had been a real trial. <<<<

    You can say that again.

    If the headshot bullet virtually exploded the inside of JFK's cranium with enough energy to blast hard outer skull bone completely off and into the street...imagine what that explosive energy did to the soft tissue inner brain?

    That bullet blows through and obliterates the back of the thick head skull bone upon entering, traverses through most of the length of the soft tissue brain and then exits with still enough velocity force and mass to then blast out a huge flap of skull bone on JFK's right side above his right ear?

    A significant amount of JFK's brain had to have been ripped and torn into mush after that through and through skull bone obliterating torpedoing.

    Again, how could Kennedy's brain weight 1500 grams?  After it was flying all  over Dealey Plaza.

    Chunks of JFK brain matter on the back seat, interior door panels and on the back seat floor carpet.  Some even sprayed into the front seat area.

    Chunks of JFK brain matter and brain fluid sprayed up and back so profusely the Z-film clearly showed this as a 6 foot high bright pink spray cloud.

    The two Dallas motorcycle police escorts behind the limo felt this JFK brain fluid and matter spray cloud hitting them with enough force one of them thought he was hit with something solid. 

    More JFK brain matter continued to ooze from the large hole in the back of his skull in the Parkland ER.

    The most basic common sense tells you that all this JFK brain matter loss had to have been more than just a handful. 

    Official JFK brain weight listed at 1,500 grams?

    Sorry... just plain untrue.

     

     

  18. Q. Where did you cut the bone?
    A. I find that--it's hard to recall. Once we got the scalp laid back, some of those pieces could just be removed, you know, by picking them up, picking them up because they were just not held together very well, other than by the dura, I suppose.

    So other than that, we --- PROBABLY --- made it like we normally do, in a circumferential fashion from books, like right above the ear around.

    But it was a real problem because it was all falling apart, the skull. And I can't recall the details of exactly how we managed to maneuver that, because it was a problem.

    Humes could "not recall" how they managed the skull maneuvering to get at and remove JFK's brain in the normal procedural way?

    What a ridiculously weak recollection response. Of all the aspects of his autopsy actions that night ( on the President of the United States!) this brain removal one is drawing a blank?

    Humes claims it was he that removed JFK's brain. Yet, here he is expressing memory loss and unsureness about how he even separated JFK's entire brain from the shattered skull, ripped scalp and thick dura matter to do so?

    Bethesda corpsman Paul O'Conner's detailed description of the brain removal process involved specific cutting methods as well as other nerve and brain stem cutting methods.

    Humes seemed less knowledgeable and definitely less experienced in this process than Corpsman O'Conner whose specific job was brain removal.

    O'Conner said JFK's brain was essentially gone when he first had an up-close view of the gaping hole into JFK's skull. He also stated he saw no cutting on JFK's skull as you would normally perform in a brain removal procedure.

    He said no cutting and peeling back of JFK's skull was necessary, because his brain was not intact enough to warrant doing so.

    So, who should you believe here? Humes...or corpsman Paul O'Conner?

    I think I recall  ( not 100% sure ) a Humes quote about JFK's brain just kind of falling into his hands when he pulled on it. That it was so obliterated in that way.

    Humes being oblivious to the failure to weigh JFK's brain is a totally suspicious red flag to me. I feel he is using this "gee, I don't know why I missed that" excuse to cover up the fact that JFK's brain was much more obliterated than one that later weighed in at 1400 + grams, even considering formalin saturation.

    The Warren Commission sure didn't want Paul O'Conner testifying. Or even James Jenkins. Obvious why not.

    AARB TESTIMONY OF COMMANDER JAMES HUMES:

    Q. I'd like to draw your attention to a few items on the first page of this document. Right next to the marking for brain, there's no entry of a weight there. Do you see that on the document?
    A. Yes, I see that it's blank, yeah.
    Q. Why is there no weight for the brain there?
    A. I don't know. I don't really--can't really recall why.
    Q. Was the fresh brain weighed?
    A. I don't recall. I don't recall. It's as simple as that.
    Q. Would it be standard practice for a gunshot wound in the head to have the brain weighed?
    A. Yeah, we weigh it with gunshot wound or


    Page 75

    no. Normally we weigh the brain when we remove it. I can't recall why--I don't know, one, whether it was weighed or not, or, two, why it doesn't show here. I have no explanation for that.

    Q. Where did you make the incision on the scalp?
    A. Where we usually--in the coronal plane, over the coronal suture. Of course, half of it was already--I mean, you know, it wasn't a neat incision because part of it was over the large defect that was already present.
    Q. So did you make any incisions in the scalp other than the one that would be roughly from either right to left or left to right, roughly over


    Page 102

    the coronal--
    A. No, we didn't make any others.
    Q. So there were none front to back along--
    A. No. There were lacerations of the scalp in several different directions, but, no, we didn't make any other incision.
    Q. Where did you cut the bone?
    A. I find that--it's hard to recall. Once we got the scalp laid back, some of those pieces could just be removed, you know, by picking them up, picking them up because they were just not held together very well, other than by the dura, I suppose. So other than that, we probably made it like we normally do, in a circumferential fashion from books, like right above the ear around. But it was a real problem because it was all falling apart, the skull. And I can't recall the details of exactly how we managed to maneuver that, because it was a problem.

    Did Kennedy's brain end up at the AFIP?

    I never heard Gunn or Horne ever refer to this.  But Dave Montague told me they were really disturbed by this evidence.

    Thanks to Malcolm Blunt and Dave we have it now.  Truly startling stuff that the HSCA never got close to.

    Humes admitted that JFK's brain was never weighed during his time doing the autopsy.

    He mumbled something along the lines of "gee, I just can't explain why it wasn't."

    Bethesda corpsman Paul O'Conner ( who's normal autopsy assisting task was to remove the brain ) stated under oath "there was no brain left to remove."

    Just a small handful of eviscerated tissue.

    Brain tissue throughout the limo. As far up as the driver's seat.

    Brain tissue left on the seat underneath JFK. Brain tissue sprayed onto both rear protecting motorcycle officers.

    Brain tissue continuously oozing out the back of JFK's prone head in the ER.

    Yet, JFK's brain is given full or almost full normal weight in the final autopsy report?

    Please.

     

     

  21. Were there two Oswalds?

    And if so which one was arrested on 11,22,1963?

    I mentioned in a post here years ago that I caught a peculiar speech inflection anomaly by Oswald when he was verbally responding to questions from the press crowd as he was being paraded right through them from one room to another in the Dallas Police headquarters building the first night he was held there.

    It caught my ear and did so many years before I posted about it.

    Oswald's words were...
    "the first time I heard that was when one of the press people "AXED" me that question."

    I have lived and interacted with black Americans all my young life. Since kindergarten my primary schools always had many kids from African American heritage.

    Reason being the huge army infantry base Fort Ord just 10 miles away. Thousands of black Americans were stationed there and many loved it here so much they brought or started families here for permanent residency.

    Thousands lived mostly in a base neighboring town called Seaside, Ca.

    There was a massive emigration of Southern blacks to Calif. right after WWII.

    All my life one of the most common linguistic pronunciation traits of almost every black I interacted with was to pronounce the word "ask" as "axe."

    To me, to hear the Dallas Police suspect Oswald use the "axed" form of "ask" in his regular speech suggested to me a person who grew up in a heavily black urban environment.

    New Orleans would definitely be such a place.

    For the Russians to plant a doppleganger from their homeland to replace the American Oswald...they would have to be brilliant in also imbuing in this person a black American slang knowledge in his new vocabulary.

    For what it's worth...

  22. More differences between the two far left Oswald photos:

    Oswald's right side ear sticks out more noticeably on the farther left pic.

    Chin line is definitely longer and more narrow in his Marine photo versus his Russian life one.

    The face in the Russian life photo seems shorter and more compact from the eyes to the chin than the Marine pic.
