Yeah, & didn't Helms state that many pages in the Oswald file were destroyed right after the assassination.

Agree! As always, very logical analysis Greg. Thanks.

Good stuff Greg! Shame neither Martin or Lane got Clemons to give a description of the killers clothing, but short & heavy isn't Oswald.

Jim, There are so many reasons that can be attached for reasons behind Dallas as we all know. For me, one topic that is rarely aired is Indonesia. Having read Poulgrain's 'JFK vs Allen Dulles' although he was no longer Director, Dulles' plans for the coup against Sukarno and his secret knowledge of the billions in natural resources, it was vital for these plans that JFK was no longer in the White House.

Mentioning LeMay...something I only recently came across, but which could well have stoked LeMay's ire was a project that in 1963 had run for 17 years and had by then cost around $7 billion. Between the U.S.A.F. and the Atomic Energy Commission efforts were made to launch a nuclear powered aircraft! Faced with objections relating to the dangers of flying over cities, it was scrapped by JFK at the time of the Partial (Atmospheric) Test Ban Treaty in '63.

Yeah Richard, many of your thoughts have crossed my mind too. Although I wrote to the Parole Board earlier this year I was ignorant of the rigmarole involved. Sure, in U.K. a parole decision is then sent up to the Home Secretary for his final yea or nay. American jail terms are much longer. Here a life term is somewhere around 20-25 years, so after over fifty years behind bars I tend to think it is well past time for clemency. Many on this Forum hold strong suspicions of MK/Ultra involvement, so yes, there could still be interests in keeping a lid on things.

Micah, Bart's e-mail reply on your query;- Livingstone medical work stays under lock and key for now. Some of it will be released next year, but some will only be released when my work on a specific area is done which is what I am going to do as soon as my Anatomy papers are out. I will start with the med stuff in Jan next year, no idea how long it will take to get my specific medical research done. But some of the stuff will be out next year.

Below is the link to Bart's You Tube collection. The earlier conversation with Malcolm is there. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAG--Ai7Xh56gr6nxnX-24A

Another belated tell all of an affair with JFK. One of many. I judge JFK as a president. An esteemed world statesman, liberal, environmentalist, advocate of world peace etc. No, not perfect....who is? Times change and I don't go too judgemental on the morals of figures of history. It's sad that a lot of news believers will judge, when we know that so many of JFK's contemporaries were holding skeletons in their closets, never really reported, that were many times more darker than JFK's love life.

The law requires that for conviction of a criminal offense, the jury must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt. If there is a reasonable doubt, then the jury must find the accused not guilty. In my own jury I have trouble with a guilty verdict. 1) The autopsy evidence from Noguchi does not allow Sirhan to have fired the shot into RFK's head from witnesses testimony relating to Sirhan's position in front of the victim. 2) Bullet holes in RFK's clothing, originating below and traversing upwards also could not be fired from Sirhan's position. 3) The total wounds of victims in the pantry + recovered bullet holes in the pantry exceed the Iver-Johnson chamber'. 4) Even under hypnosis the accused had no recall of events in the pantry. 5) Many witnesses gave testimony of Sirhan being accompanied by a 'girl in a poka-dot dress'. Strangely never located after the event. 6) Like the investigations in Dallas and Memphis, the LAPD had their man and case closed. Yes Steve, sadly I have little confidence in Sirhan being released.

Ron, yes I agree, the video is full of interesting info. Malcolm Blunt is a walking gold mine. I've had the pleasure of a one to one talk with him & his knowledge is encyclopaedic! Over recent weeks Malcolm has had his JFK library, along with assorted pamphlets etc., for sale to DPUK members. More are on the way too. A revised list of stuff available will soon be posted on DPUK's FB site, available to anyone. Bart has been digitising Malcolm's files for some time now. New stuff is added almost daily. You can search our database for free.(Dealey Plaza U.K.) I missed their first talk. If I find the link I'll let you know. The next one is sometime in September, which I will add to this thread. Glad to pass on your thanks!

Diana de Vegh said she first met Kennedy in 1958 when she was 20 years old at a ballroom in Boston, where he was on a re-election tour for senator. “The senator was standing directly across the table. And he was looking … at me. ‘Oh, God, don’t let me blush’, I prayed. Useless, of course,” she wrote in an essay published in Air Mail News on Saturday. “Give me your seat, so a tired old man can sit next to a pretty girl,” she recalled him saying to her date. Ms De Vegh, a student at the time, said he would often tell her she was “special” and had a “spark”. “‘I’m expecting great things from you, ya know.’ Always laughing, always looking at me in what I hoped was a special way,” she wrote. “I didn’t realise then that I’d simply been netted, separated from the other students, who might have offered some emotional ballast in this situation.” She said the #MeToo movement “has provided a specific context for needed re-evaluation,” as she reflected on the “inequality and idealisation” of being in a relationship with the president, who was assassinated in 1963. The affair reportedly continued for about four years.

I checked out the U.K. teletext last thing last night and whooped when I read the parole board hearing decision. Then I read the second page about the final say going to the California Governor, and that didn't give me a good feeling. I did write to the Parole Board months back, as per Lisa P's recommendations. Reading Richard's posts above, I'm going to try to keep optimistic, cockeyed or not.

Nice one W. It rocks!

David, I never heard of that younger sister. The Wiki quote must be right. Well, she's in her mid sixties now.

Wonder if Winwood & Clapton are getting concerned with the cover of the Blind Faith album with the topless 14yo girl. Although the parents gave their permission for the photo shoot....the times they have a changed.

The second loose talk with JFK Assassination Researcher Malcolm Blunt on Aug 25th 2021. Again we talk about elements of Malcolm's Archive which shall be accessible to all from late Nov 2021 at the dealeyplazauk.com website. SHOW MORE

I know nothing about Weisberg's 'sabotage' of Stone's movie, but I just don't see such a prolific author as being on the dark side. Something of a curmudgeon , but as Douglas' vid shows he was very articulate & firm in his beliefs. I have everything he published, can't see him as a false prophet. His belief in Oswald in the Altgens has long interested me & also Zapruder's claim his camera was set to 24fps!

The title 'Photographic Whitewash' causes expectation of a Groden type publication. Sadly there are only two photographs in the almost three hundred page book & both are grainy b/w images of the TSBD. Weisberg's text documents the photographic evidence that WC never got to view.

🤣 Ha! Bet they made a cute couple!

From John Mayall's 'Blues from Laurel Canyon' album 1969 'Miss James' I read about her in the magazine The writer painted her in colors of a queen Other people said bad things instead So I was curious to check up what I'd read But askin' around She couldn't be found Strange, elusive Miss James Two weeks later, I was down the Shrine Saw a pretty girl who would suit me fine Rushin' around we forgot to trade names I didn't connect her with the one they called Miss James I was surprised When I realized The two were one and the same I had the phone company give her number to me I called her at home, she said she was alone Would she see me tonight? Yeah, that was alright

Anyone have any update on Pat's cancer treatment?

Gil, Certainly the shells 'evidence' in the WC fictions are some of the most blatant examples of false evidence in the JFK case. On Tippit, the links in the chains are non-existent! J.M. Poe's two cartridges from Benevides had his initials JMP scratched on them, but when the Commission presented him with cartridges supposedly from the Tippit killing none had his initials on them. Poe passed these two shells to DPD Sergeant Willie E. Barnes who scratched 'B' inside both shells. Again when WC presented four cartridges to Barnes he could not find his mark on any of them! Just like Tomlinson & Wright couldn't i.d. the blunt nosed CE399.

Cheers Jeff, A Restless Hungry Feelin' slipped past my BD radar....looks interesting.
