As for Oswald in that window, he would have to be taller than Wemby, or standing on a stack of box...

“Hit List” and its predecessor “Dead Wrong” are in my local library. I will have to look at them.
Hit List is valuable for multiple reasons. I'm not sure about Dead Wrong. Regarding the statistics see Richard Charnin's "Reclaiming Science: The JFK Conspiracy." Eight bucks. In addition to imho, good reviews.

I've considered the kind, quiet, salt of the earth aspect of Michael and Ruth being Quakers. Kind of out of their element in Irving. Michael in a position at high level security at Bell Helicopter, a company his step father founded, after he flunked out at Harvard. Still receiving a Forbes family trust fund. Ruth, dad in AID, a CIA front, brother in law in AID, Sister worked for CIA (but Ruth couldn't remember that). Her trip to Naushon Island in the summer of 1963, before she picked Marina up on the way back to Dallas, via New Orleans.
Maybe David Talbot asked her the best question ever, so far.
"there was only a fleeting moment when Ruth acknowledged that Oswald might have been a pawn in a historical drama much larger than himself. When her visitor suggested that dreamy-eyed adventurers like Oswald can become easy prey for those with cynical intentions, she quickly nodded . "Mu parents had a name for that: 'shut-eyed liberals."
In the end Mr. Talbot concludes, "Marina would wish she had never met her rescuer." Pages 535-536, Devils' Chessboard.

Since we're giving opinions here, I think Kantor was LYING and was an FBI asset. The intent of his lie was to give Ruby an alibi for the Applin sighting, which the FBI knew about, probably from Ruby himself. But since the Warren Commission did not know about the Applin sighting, they would rather have Ruby being honest, since everything he told them supports their Official Story. Better to have Ruby be honest and crazy than to introduce doubt...unless Ruby needs an alibi for the Applin sighting.
Well, one of them was lying. If you believe Ruby over Kantor that's your prerogative. I freely admit that my comment on Ruby being able to get from Parkland to the TT in about 10 minutes is speculation on my part. That he was in both places is not, we have witnesses to both occurrences.
We now know Ruby had previously been an FBI informant at one point. Is there any evidence Kantor was an FBI asset? I've never read such, can you point me to it?

At the time they would have to leave Fort Worth to drive to Dallas and find parking, the weather was still iffy. It was even more iffy if they had tried to see the president in Fort Worth. So not surprising.
Still, the role of the Paines is curious.
Ruth, Marina and children lived in Irving, maybe 10 miles from Dealy Plaza. Two women taking a 4, 2, 1 1/2 yr olds plus a 1 month old to the parade would have been a chore. Bottles, diapers, where to change them when needed, a stroller if they had one, keeping the older ones occupied/track of the.
The role of the Paine's is more than curious. That has been discussed in depth on the forum many times, check the back threads. One thing I don't remember reading much about is their politics. Given their elite east coast family connections I have to wonder if maybe they voted for Nixon and Ruth had no interest at all in seeing JFK.

The Warren Commission did not know about Applin seeing Ruby at the Texas Theatre. If they had known, they probably would have believed Kantor. So what if Ruby had been at Parkland. It wouldn't have meant a thing.
If one believes Seth Kantor, which I do, it meant and still means Ruby lied to the Warren Commission. Why? Because he didn't want to incriminate himself by having to know immediately if JFK was dead?
I've read somewhere before that Ruby drove really fast pretty much all the time, that he had several speeding tickets to prove it if I remember right. He also knew Dallas very well given his activities. He could have rushed to Parkland immediately after the assassination tugged on Kantor's coat, then left, still not knowing for sure. He knew a lot of people in Dallas. It's not impossible he knew someone at Parkland who had seen KFK brought in or someone that knew someone who did and had heard he was dead.
I think in that day and time (much less traffic) JR could have been from Parkland to the Texas Theater in about 10 minutes. I've been that route before. Not timing it but on the way to see Oswald's rooming house, where Tippit was shot and the TT. If Applin was telling the truth, years later, Ruby was there for a purpose. To eliminate Oswald before he ended up in police custody, and he missed his chance?

Yes, LBJ listened to Youngblood's walkie-talkie. He knew by then what was happening. He had to so he wouldn't flip out. As per the thread title, I wonder if Dulles spoke with LBJ a week, maybe two before the assassination. Not much more than that, I don't think Dulles would have trusted him on a leash any longer.

This is very interesting Cory. It's directed to Hoover (Director), from SAC Dallas, a report from SA Kaack of New Orleans, about Ruth informing the FBI on 11/1/1963 that Oswald was working at the Texas School Book Depository. I don't doubt the authenticity, but why the convoluted routing? Ruth was conversing with SA Barwell Odum and I think SA James Hosty somewhere around this time. In any case Ruth told the FBI Oswald was in place at the TSBD three weeks before the assassination.

No.
It's not "BS" at all.
Maybe you should run off and watch some of the more recent podcast interviews McBride has done. He has Tippit shooting at the President from behind the fence atop the knoll.
The topic of your thread is A Sorry Nightmare of A Book. An obvious reference to Into The Nightmare. Everything I referenced and quoted was from the Badge Man chapter in that book.
I've listened to some of Joseph's interviews/pod casts in the last few years. I don't remember him saying Tippit was on the Grassy Knoll. Do you have a link? Or should I just run off and forget about it?

I still believe LBJ was used. By those authorizing the execution, the plotters and planners who oversaw the executioners. They knew they had to have their puppet in place before the Kennedy's dumped LBJ. Which was going to start in the news the next week.

I'm guessing no one here has read A Terrible Mistake. At 700 pages it is a bit of a slog at points, but the details are important. Frank Olson was a Biochemist for the Army who also worked for the CIA. One aspect of his job was developing aerosol methods of delivering drugs. He was in France in the summer of 1951. Testing his work? He'd reputedly been to Europe before and after, observing the effects of experiments using LSD in interrogations. Something gave him ulcers. He wanted out.

Can't get this one out of my mind since they played it for the eclipse. Hadn't hear it in years. Thought sharing might cure my malady.

I think the conflict between JFK and the CIA is overblown. JFK was enamored with fictional and real covert action and unconventional warfare. It seems to me that JFK’s major problem with the CIA was operational competence.
Yes, on the last part. No on the first sentence. JFK was deceived by the CIA over the Bay of Pigs a month into his presidency. He fired Dulles, Cabbell and Bissell over it, this created animosity among them and their friends, several still employed by the CIA. Vietnam/"soft on communism" were major factors in JFK's assassination, jmho.

Gerry,
The sad part here is that McBride has Tippit as Badge Man.
That is BS. The chapter in the book titled Badge Man considers the possibility somewhat skeptically and includes much other info on other subjects. E.G, O'Donell and Powers, Gordon Arnold, Was Badge Man a Black Woman? Then the Belmont memo, you've read it, I guess? He concludes: "And it would have been not only implausible but simply impossible for a policeman at work in Oak Cliff around 12:17 to have been part of the shooting in Delay Plaza less than fifteen minutes later." From pg. 571, actually the chapter covers pages 539 - 579, 32 of them.
Buy a copy and read it first.

An extra cervical x-ray to locate a small caliber bullet? Small like a pellet?
IDK about the extra X-ray. But more like a 22 long rifle, soft lead, rounded tip that mushrooms on contact with anything. Or a 22 hollow point, which does the same thing, more extensively. Favorite round for the CIA for close work, I've read. Which this would be for some, 20 yards more or less. Some "bark" squirrels in the head with such. I've hit one on a power line to prove to my wife I could do so. It was tasty.

Southern France, on the Rhone River, isolated small town few modern convivences for the time. Then the still new CIA and the Army flew crop dusters over town dispensing an aerosol form of LSD.
How does this relate to the JFKA? Allen Dulles authorized it, regarding him, see Davis Talbot's The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government: Talbot, David: 9780062276179: Amazon.com: Books
If you still don't believe he would authorize the JFKA, read this. A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments: Albarelli Jr., H. P.: 9780977795376: Amazon.com: Books From pages 350-351.
"two hours before noon, a young farmer stumbled through the door of Dr. Vieu, babbling incoherently and waving his arms about, a second man appeared ranting nonsensically . . . seemed to be in the grip of hallucinations." . . . by nightfall he was he was doing his best to treat 75 delirious patients. Many had to be forcibly tied to their beds. An eleven year old boy threw his mother to the ground and tried to strangle her. A local politician stripped off his clothes and merrily danced naked in the town square. An elderly man ran about yelling, "My belly is full of snails."
A young man, violent, finally subdued by five others, tried to put him in a straight jacket, he ripped it in half, next tied down on a cot chewed through leather straps so intensely he lost teeth. A five year old girl told her mother. "Tigers are going to eat us all. They're going to rip us to pieces." The girl pointed at the ceiling of her room and cried, "Blood is dripping down on everything. Can't you stop the blood?" A police officer later remarked, no sexual acts, rapes or molestations. This despite the fact that many people seemed possessed by an odd euphoria, and went about profusely professing love for the world and all it's inhabitants.
"rumors ran rampant" Satan was blamed, also, low flying unmarked aircraft had sprayed the town with an unknown substance. Or it could have been those well dressed foreign strangers who had passed through town the day before.
By August 18th 250 people had fallen victim to the mysterious malady. Four died, all "in muscular spasm and cardiovascular collapse."
Per a White House letterhead document from the 1970s, involved Sideny Gottlieb, Frank Olson, George Hunter White, Pierre Laffite, more.
Frank was disturbed by it all, he started talking too much. LSD, Deep Creek was a trap to interrogate him under the influence.
Then he was pitched out the window.

So Cliff, what does this mean to you, why is it important?
I've been convinced of a throat shot from the front since the first time I saw the Zapruder film. Did the exit of a bullet from the trachea cause the air bubble at C7/T1? I've wondered for years it the trachea wasn't the target. Would penetrating it prevent JFK from yelling in pain or "I'm Hit"?
Also, Perry said when shown the death stare photo regarding the throat wound "that's not my butchery, I didn't do that." Does this model maybe explain the need for the butchery, to remove the remains of a small caliber bullet?
Wasn't there a nick in a bone somewhere here in the X-ray?

I looked earlier, found nothing other than the Four Died Trying piece. Surprising given his work on the MLKA and RFKA. An acknowledged author.

- Oswald was not in the Sniper's Nest and did not shoot at Kennedy
No, he was not, and did not. Your link did not work for me. Good chance he ate his cheese sandwich in the domino room, after getting a coke. Then wandered out front, with Shelly. Where he finished off the coke.
Someone shot from the snipers nest. Quite possibly as a distraction for those below to look up and back (SSA's-Altgens) or a few to hear. Maybe they hit Connally, no one knows for sure. I've wondered if those shots were with the Mauser, if the Carcano was a prop, already planted before the assassination.
Who, how did they get away?

Dr. Donald Miller.
Oliver Stone. You were friends . . . you'd have dinner together? Yeah, we'd operated together a year or so . . . he would still categorically say I don't want to talk about the assassination. Then one night after operating together several hours in the lounge afterward over coffee I asked again about the neck wound. And this time he said it was an entrance wound, unquestionably and entrance wound. I took that admission as given in confidence. . . .
But a year later in front of the HSCA, he once again reverted publicly like he did with the Warren Commission and said it was an exit wound. So I didn't say anything about what Malcom had told me until after he died in 2009. . . . I never saw Dr. Perry after 1978 . . . So he told you this on what date, what year was it? 1977.
From JFK Revisited, pages 429-430.
The HSCA was established in 1978.
Why was Dr. Miller interested in the JFKA? Dr. Burkley. More tomorrow or the next day.

Strange result when I tried to post Basketball Jones by Cheech and Chong. No response when clicking on the video, then an odd loud changing buzzing sound, which slowly went away after I clicked out of it.
