Thank you for posting this. I wish the Plaintiffs and legal team well. We need some positive results on this important matter.

I only briefly browsed the Shout website but have bookmarked it. Do they ship to Canada?* *I haven't decided if I can attend the event in Quebec City but that would be great. I can buy it there and maybe get it autographed by you. Incidentally, is there an EF post about that conference with the latest details?

I agree, except of course when powerful, economic entities need to collude in order to restrict competition or raise prices. Jefferson Morley's Deep States blog deals with powerful and influential intelligence agencies, so it's not just about big business. (And yes, fascinating story about the record industry Pat. I think it was the Eagles who talked about being "indentured servants").

I read the presentation slides (in PDF format) that was shared via the Kenned & King link, yesterday. Excellent intro or refresher of the case.

Agreed. Thanks for your GIF. It looks like that person is raising a coffee cup or mug to their mouth to take a sip.

Thanks for your reply. I was joking about the Coke but I don't think that's a camera but more like a coffee mug or cup. I don't rule out a Harvey and Lee (one real, one impostor), however, I believe that's Billy Lovelady by the edge of the doorway (you can faintly see the lines of the plaid shirt - if it's Lee wearing his speckled, reddish brown shirt that he wore that morning, it would appear more as a solid, dark colour from where Altgens is shooting). There are other pics of Lovelady walking moments later with Shelley out front and the shirt matches what we see by the doorway.

I tend to think it resembles a man if not Oswald too. Maybe the blurry quality of the image increases the person's girth. Is he holding a Coke (lol). In any event, and further to my comment about what Frazier said at that Lancer Conference, I do believe that witnesses were intimidated or coerced to align with the prevailing scenario, if not ignored. And if you were an African American, perhaps more troubling to be a witness in Oswald's favour (maybe those two who walked by the 1st floor lunchroom saw Oswald but only admitted to a vague recollection of seeing an employee having their lunch). There's the possibility that PM stepped out momentarily and went back inside, undetected by others. However, after hearing shots, you'd think you'd stick around (unless that meant trouble for yourself or a plan was in place).

I don't recall if I commented on this thread earlier but I attended a Lancer conference in 2015 which invited Buell Frazier and his son to speak (supposedly, a book was in the works). Frazier only mentioned that Oswald came around to the front from the east side of the building (presumably from the rear entrance) after the shooting.

Excellent work Andrej.

Hello David, I was doing some reading about Oscar Contreras, which led me to document 180-10142-10302. In that document, his story begins on section D (page 52 of the report or page 56 of the PDF document), but seems to be incomplete, as the last sentence of the report's final page does not have an end "The following day, July 5, 1967, the Mexico City Station". Where does this report continue with the part about Oscar Contreras? Thanks.

It may seem trite to say Thomas, but here's a quote by Doug Horne. "...No doubt they were given a ‘World War III’ cover story like LBJ used on everyone else in the coming weeks.” http://jamesfetzer.blogspot.ca/2012/03/what-happened-to-jfks-body-cover-up-on.html Cheers (back to the Forum later - gotta get going cuz can't miss my beloved Maple Leafs vs. Washington Capitals).

All valid points Chris but it's hard to make money in a world after global thermonuclear war (if there's a world left).

Here's my take: They tried it before in Chicago but it never got off ground (i.e., there was supposed to be another lone nut as you know). The lone nut scenario and a pre-planned autopsy ensures that an investigation doesn't get out of hand and is contained or controlled. I think the latter was very important to the plotters who many believe were not foreigners (I would hazard to say that that's the consensus of the research community). Without the involvement of the Soviets or Cubans, the plotters' knew that their Communist conspiracy set-up wasn't going to be persuasive, so they needed to control the autopsy, which was done by select, key figures who exploited the chain of command at a military hospital, and nudged the WH in that direction. That was to avoid looking further into Oswald's past and possible connections. They probably knew that the new and ambitious President from the south, wouldn't want to blame the assassination on a Soviet/Cuban conspiracy and start a WW because of the Oswald impostor shenanigan, for one thing. So LBJ didn't have to have foreknowledge or be a mastermind, but he may have been an unwitting accomplice to a cover-up of a domestic conspiracy. In a way, the plotters left LBJ with no choice but to go with the flow or facilitate it. Quote by Jim Garrison seems apropos here: "I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that Fascism will come to America in the name of National Security"

Thank you again. Sorry, I meant for Wesley Frazier. On the landing of the TSBD, his shirt seems light colored but the inset photo and another of him inside the DPD station, it looks like a dark shirt. Any explanation for that? (Did he change his shirt too?) P.S. I just noticed that your posted pic above is a frame capture from the CNN 60s series. Man, you guys in this forum are good.

Ostensibly perhaps, but more to prevent a fuller investigation and/or promote the lone gunman scenario.
