The attacks, they're a coming. Typical fair for the NY Post. He resigned from the Guard after 24 years to fun for congress in a red district where he was re-elected 5 times and served 12 years, now 6 as a governor. A good bit more government service then JD Vance.
Four years in the Marines out of high school, a 6 month tour in Iraq as a military journalist. Two years in the senate as a Trump lackey. Don't miss the I gave a kid an eraser and it changed my life.

Being the defensive coordinator on a high school team that had gone 0-27 the previous three years before he started to winning a State Championship three years later is quite an accomplishment in HS football. Plus, they have since become a state powerhouse winning I think it said five more championships in another article.

I think he was the best choice.

Here is the article I was looking for by David Josephs and John Armstrong, with diagrams and pictures you won't see anywhere else. Well worth the full read for anyone really interested.
Re-reading this last night I thought, no Batchelor, they have Westbrook observing Western Union from a second-floor window and Ruby parking and going in, possibly waiting until he came out and headed to the back door. Then going back up the adjoining stairs, past Fritz office signaling him on the way by that Ruby was on the way.
Then I thought, this is not mutually exclusive to Batchelor escorting Ruby. If he was in the basement attending to the armored car, he was in close proximity to the parking garage and the service elevator in it. If word was also passed down when Ruby arrived and parked with a nod or tip of a hat could have alerted Batchelor to walk to the elevator, go up one floor and be there to greet Ruby. Getting there might not have taken 2-3 minutes. Plus, likely Croy was guarding the elevator then also escorting them to the point where he and Ruby joined the crowd as Batchelor went on. Croy is seen clearly in pictures by Ruby as he steps out to shoot Oswald.
Anyone really interested in this aspect should take the time to read this article and look at the pictures and diagrams. If you don't buy the Harvey and Lee story, or even part of it, fine. This is not about that.

At the risk of yet another tangent, has anyone ever taken photos or notes of what the unaided eye can see in the windows of the TSBD from various points in Dealey Plaza (Arnold Rowland, Howard Brennan, Amos Euins etc.) with identical lighting conditions to those between 12:00 - 1:00 PM on November 22? I think all the windows are now closed it would be especially interesting to see the visibility of someone standing in the windows.
I don't remember ever reading of anyone taking pictures in the right light conditions. I have stood near the X's on Elm and looked up at the supposed snipers nest, I don't remember noticing anything, I attribute that in part to the angle and nothing in that corner sticks up very high. Of course. no one was moving around as it's sealed off now. Which makes me think at the moment I should have noticed any movement in the window next to it, or for the next two or three down from it. Why I think I should have is I've been in the 6th floor museum three times. There were people standing in the second window looking down on the street pretty much constantly when I was in the immediate area. I've waited around a few minutes for others to move to do so myself.
In relation to your question here's a I think related aspect. I have read somewhere several years back about the windows on the upper floors being filthy. I think it was in a book, not on the internet or in a magazine. Seems like an author spoke to someone who had been on the upper floors back in 1963 who made the observation. That they were so dirty inside and out that unless someone was standing very close to one, with full sun shining on them someone near the street would not be able to identify anyone just close to one or say what they were wearing.
I realize the corner window was partially opened at some point (we don't know when do we?). But as far as seeing people in other windows as some said, or someone noticing Oswald or whoever stacking the boxes, IDK.
Somebody shot from that window, I think. Possibly as just a diversion to draw attention back and up to the right. I don't think it was Oswald.

Look guy's, Pat, Sandy, now Robert stirring the pot. This has nothing to do with Hit List, an interesting thread otherwise. This makes me think about freezing it. Until I talk to other mod's/admin's about it. W's on vacation a few more days, admin's haven't looked in in a few days but I can contact them for advice if need be.

I just read Batchelor’s Warren Commission testimony and from what I can tell, he was in the basement during the time it is alleged he would have been escorting Ruby.
Would you expect him to tell the Warren Commission if he did escort Ruby to the basement?

But when Sirhan heard that Kennedy was promising to supply military jets to Israel, he felt personally betrayed. He began filling pages of his personal journals with scribbles reading: “RFK must die.”
Spotlight gets this wrong being incomplete and misleading. His journals also repeated Die Salvo, Die Salvo, Di Salvo. Albert Di Salvo, the Boston strangler. Hypnotized by L A psychiatrist William J Bryan, self-proclaimed greatest hypnotist in the world, president of the American or World Hypnotist's Association or something like it which I think he created, a CIA asset. He reportedly liked to brag on this and also about hypnotizing Sirhan. Who he was never involved with after the assassination. Despite his local expertise they flew in a guy from San Francisco. There is a lot more to this, see the Dr. Daniel Brown video and read A Lie Too Big to Fail by Lisa Pease.

Back on topic, when will this book be released? I'm already wondering if it will address some things Oswald supposedly did. Like the new car 80 mph test drive on Stemmons freeway or the shooting range shooting of the guy next to Him's target.

I know what a lot of people say about the 6th floor museum, but I´d like to visit it, before judging. One can be against their POV, but are they not preserving items, and in a way keeping the memory alive? At least they get some credit for that part. But I haven´t been there, so I could be totally wrong.
I have to agree with Robert on this one. There is no substitute for going there, standing next to "the" window and looking down at the X's on Elm, seeing the entrance to the stairs and the old freight elevator, in spite of their LHO did it bent. But also, not just going behind the wooden fence on the grassy knoll and looking at the X's from there as well but walking out to the tower Bowers observed the area from, albeit from a few feet lower than his perspective. Then walking out on the overpass and seeing Sam Holland and others view, and going on to the other side for what a south knoll shooter would have seen. Up Commerce past the Postal Annex where Holems watched with binoculars, to the corner of Commerce and Houston where Ruby reputedly watched the fireworks from. North on Houston past the turn from Main on to it and the Sheriff's office where Roger Craig ran from. On to Houston and Elm and the Dal-Tex building where you can now go in a snack/souvenir shop on the second floor corner and see the view I think one or two shots came from. Don't forget the Texas Historical Commission plaque across the street on the east side of the TSBD about the "Alleged" assassin.

I don't know Ron, there is just something about Homer's version - especially with the imaging - that makes me play it a couple of time every month. True Homer is a little less polished...well maybe a lot less polished....but its almost like he was singing it for real:
I love both versions for different reasons. If I remember right Homer wrote it and he is from Dallas, actually did live on Beckley? I think being done in black and white is cool. Heck, even that old microphone is cool. The kid (Homer) in the Cowbboy's # 33 jersey, which is kind of unreal. Not many kids or adults wore such apparel in 1963, they really stunk those first four years. Him fishing and throwing the football with Lee. The steel guitar.
Have you ever heard Homers other (non) hit? They used to play it on KNON, the Dallas public radio station, supported by fund drives.

The big question is, if she was a block away when she saw Tippit shot at 1:06, why would she have been heading to the 1:22 bus stop when she had one block to go to the 1:12 buss stop. With 6 minutes to get there on a route she was well familiar with?

Since Larry mentioned Oswald possibly playing (?) football in the USMC and Robert being from Austin. One more time. I know Larry prefers the original by Homer Henderson. But this one's more dramatic.

This is all becoming clear as I search despite suppression and ayyi - the same thing. Googling multiple combinations of DJ, K&K, Educaton Forum resulted in almost nothing. I know I've read a thread on this site where DJ presented diagrams and explanations. I think he also wrote an article on K&K relating to it.
Whether Batchelor escorted Ruby or not, it seems he went in the back door of the City Annex and down the stairs to the basement, or possibly escorted down the service elevator.
Look at the diagrams, there are more clearer ones plus pictures.
Patrick Dean in charge of basement security, moved officer Brock and reserve officer Worley from guarding the area to traffic duty outside. Reserve officer Croy, (of infamous fame at the Tippit murder regarding a wallet, one of several) reputedly took over security of the stairs/service elevator. He let Ruby and maybe Batchelor pass.
Roy Vaughn passed a lie detector test saying Ruby didn't come down the ramp. Patrick Dean asked for one, wrote his own questions and failed it.

Larry and David, of course I look forward to reading your new book on Oswald. I'm finally about 1/4 way through In Denial. Something I've wanted to see for a while now is everything known at this point about Oswald that Angleton knew, when. I've read the file on him originated in the latter 1950's, that JJA kept it "close to the vest." Was he managed from close to the top from near the start of his USMC time? Assistance in learning Russian fluently seems essential and a key to me.

This doesn't make any sense to me.
Based on what Markham said, Oswald had been walking east on 10th St, and was crossing Patton, almost ready to step up on the curb.
Where was he coming from?

Don't ask such hard questions Steve. No one can answer them, logically.

I'm re-reading Edgar F. Tatro's article Ruby Tried to Snitch in issue 8 of Garrison, the magazine from 11/2021. I guess this went right over my head or I forgot about it, some of it was highlighted from my original reading.
I do remember reading a few years ago an article posted here from Kennedy's and King by David Josephs and his work with John Armstrong on Ruby entering through the back door of City Hall and going downstairs to the basement, a diagram, pictures posted by him or others of Western Union and where Ruby parked from that back door. From Tatro's article:
Perhaps the simplest explanation was provided by Ray Gallager, who sent researcher Jim DiEugenio a photo depicting the Western Union office taken from one of the open doors behind City Hall. He wrote, it was an eye opener. The proximity was such that you could signal someone. In other words, Ruby's timing did not have to be exquisite. He could have just been waiting in his car at Western Union for the proper moment.
Also, from the article. One other unsubstantiated allegation for consideration is that Jack ruby was escorted to the police basement by Dallas Assistant Chief of Police Charles Batchelor via a service elevator. Researcher Gary Shaw published the accusation in 1976, based on an article in 1074 by Penn Jones, which stated, "We learned from men in the Dallas Police Department that Ruby was 'escorted' by assistant Chief of Police, Chief Charles Batchelor, to the spot where ruby shot Oswald."
In 1976 Mark Lane also said witnesses, albeit frightened, repeated the accusation in private. In 1989 Harry Livingstone talked to Roy Vaughn's lawyer, James Neil, who said that Red Davis of the Dallas Police told Vaughn after he passed his lie detector test . . . told him that Batchelor took Ruby inside via an elevator. Livingstone claimed that several policemen had made affidavits that Batchelor was the guilty party and Roy Vaughn's lawyer had brought a suit regarding the accusation, but, apparently nothing came of it, and the trail of hearsay is cold as of now. Livingston also interviewed Roy Vaughn in person and confirmed Red Davis comment.
They may be unsubstantiated allegations, a trail of hearsay. But if you have four sources, independent of each other, telling the same story is it not suspicious? Worthy of consideration? Jones, Lane, Red Davis via Vaughn's attorney James Neil, then Vaughn later confirming it?

I noted this book in the thread on the mysterious deaths. I was reminded that a “respected researcher” reviewed it on Amazon. The review was literally a “don’t waste your time” but offered no specific critiques for consideration and threw in a few ad hominem attacks on the author.
Kevin, J. Gary Shaw is a respected researcher by some other respected researchers along with some readers of information like myself. His interest goes all the way back to the assassination itself as somewhat of a local. He will be referenced in a new topic I'm about to start.
There is an article, maybe two on Kennedys and King if anyone is interested in a different perspective on Mr. Litwin.
Did Batchelor Escort Ruby From the Back Door in an Elevator to the Basement?
in JFK Assassination Debate
Posted
Batchelor could well have gone to meet Ruby and escort him in a very few minutes, IDK, 5-6-7-8? Handing him off to Croy, Harrison and others. That would have took planning. A coordinated effort. Which likely happened since Ruby did not walk down the ramp. Vaughn, again, passed his lie detector test, Dean, operational head of security in the basement, creating his own questions, did not.
The coordinated effort would have come from above, not the DPD. Maybe the CIA? They did have proven connections in Dallas, now known asset Mayor Earl Cabbell, brother of General Charles Cabbell JFK fired over the BOP. Among others like area director J Walton Moore.
The order likely came from the new president, silence the bastard. Via? Helms? His old friend Dulles? A call to somebody was all it took. Then another or two
Someone told Roselli, Civello/Campisi, Omerta. Jack understood, heck he said it "my family".
