34-inch stock in a paper bag on the morning of 11/22? With all those metal parts clanging about (as mentioned by Griggs).
Oh man, what is more ridiculous is the fact that the paper bag was constructed from the TSBD paper machine! So, do we have another ridiculous scenario of LHO having this crinkly paper stuffed up his shirt on the Thursday evening ride with Frazier back to Irving?!? + his origami skills in the Paine's garage that night.
Your Carcano night delivery certainly makes more sense than the W.C. fairy tales. Of course Warren & Co., never broached that idea. That would have proved a conspiracy.

The "pressure" would be to re-assemble the partially unassembled rifle quickly, unobserved.
I wonder if anyone has ever tested that out.
B.C. You betcha! Tested out thirty years back in 1994 when D.P.U.K., was known as 'Dallas '63'. Check out this thorough report by ex-Metropolitan police detective, the late Ian Griggs. We bin there, done that.

Why did he reportedly cry out "they're going to kill us all" when struck, after protesting being forced to ride in JFK's limo by him?
Wasn't the protest from LBJ in Kennedy's suite at the Hotel Texas on the morning of the 22nd because polecat Lyndon didn't want to ride with Yarborough?
When exactly did Connally protest?

I'm only a week home from hospital following heart surgery, and my energy / concentration levels are not the best right now, but I will try to find the recording for you as soon as I can.
Very best wishes for a speedy recovery Chris. Seems ages since we last met in Canterbury.

If you do not know who Jeff Meek is, you should.
He is the only journalist in the country who writes a regular column on the Kennedy case for an MSM newspaper, and he has been doing it now over three years.
He has gotten some pretty interesting people and some higher ups like Tunheim. To my knowledge this is the only interview that Leslie Wizelman of the HSCA has done. And its an interesting one.
Anyway, for the most part--exceptions noted--hats off to Jeff.
D.P.U.K., ahead of the game, has included a Hot Springs Village Voice article by Jeff Meek in the latest 'Dealey Plaza Echo'. Jeff uncovered a 2022 document release which covers an interview from '78 by Gaeton Fonzi with retired CIA officer Joseph Burkholder Smith. Meek's verdict on Smith's statements to Fonzi is "it's more confirmation of operations going on that connect Lee Oswald to the CIA and the cover-up that followed."
(D.P.U.K. members have received a double 60th anniversary special edition with parts one & two of their excellent journal.)

Thanks David. Great to hear Evelyn Lincoln.

I don't know if this means Buell Frazier, but on the subject of Buell, hasn't he already pretty much outed himself as a clown? I mean, claiming to have seen a guy behind the Depository running off with a rifle?
& there's more.
From Nancy Weiford's recent 'Dealey Plaza Echo' article she quotes from Frazier's 2021 autobiography 'Steering Truth' where he tells of leaving the front steps after the shooting to follow Shelley & Lovelady toward the railroad yards along the street directly in front of the Depository. Without reaching the yards he decided to turn back, but before he could turn around, he suddenly was startled by a man walking east and holding a rifle.

I have recently become a committee member of Britain's U3A charity organisation and almost by accident gave a presentation on the JFKA, which has resulted in my name & this topic being added to the U.K. register of U3A speakers. As a result I have bookings for 2024 from local U3A groups. What books do I recommend is a question that I have been asked. As the U3A is primarily for retired members of the older generation, my talk, lasting just over an hour, features photographs and film and press reports etc., just on historical factual information, with hardly a mention of LHO or the killing of Officer Tippit. I can only include the whys of the Texas trip, the Fort Worth breakfast, the Dallas motorcade, Dealey Plaza and Parkland. I hardly have time to take a breath to fit that in inside the allotted time. However, I have been very surprised at the response, with post presentation Q & A's lasting almost as long as the presentation itself. So, for this age demographic, most like myself, alive and remember JFK as president and the event in Dallas, what further reading do I recommend. I point interest to 'Crossfire' and 'JFK & the Unspeakable' depending on their prior level of knowledge & availability of these books.

Yes, and he also specified that the back of the head was not blown out.
Another Jenkins statement @ Lancer 2013, "My attention was such that I had to be aware of the needs of the pathologist, that was my purpose for being there, so my attention was focussed on that table on whatever they asked for help with. At the conclusion of the autopsy, my personal ideas of the things that I said, I was sure that the entrance wound was above the right ear and that the large wound in the back of the head was an exit wound."

I would have asked Jenkins if he witnessed Humes or Boswell actually cutting the brain stem of the brain?
Jenkins stated that Humes just blurted out when holding what was supposedly JFK's brain that "the damn thing just fell into my hands!"?
FWIW, Jenkins related @ Lancer in 2013, "The other thing I noticed was the brain stem, where the brain stem was cut to remove it from the cranium, the brain stem looked like it had been cut from two different sides, from each side met in the middle. I can relate that because if you've ever tried to cut something from the right side and go back and cut it from the left side it never, almost invariably never is the same level and this is what the brain stem looked like. You know, I've been asked many times about this and did I think that the brain had been removed prior to the autopsy? Taking into consideration the abnormal things that I just described, I feel like it was."

He also mentioned an ominous statement General Curtis Lemay said in the bustle of getting the bronze casket off the plane and into the waiting grey navy ambulance. Something about "this is my commander in chief...not that MFer.?
Joe, Clark referred to Godfrey McHugh not LeMay.

Apologies for jumping onto this Newman thread but unable to find any other appropriate topic, I came across a series of reports on CIA projects/operations where this was listed. Totally new to me. Any thoughts?
Project Mockingbird was a warrantless wiretapping operation carried out on the orders of President John F. Kennedy between March and June of 1963. It was kept under wraps until 2001.

EF-JFKA'ers? Anyone have clues to how to at least try to get Russians to verify if McCord and Solie were KGB assets?

I strongly advise you all not to engage with Michael Griffith. He is a patronising pest. Don't give him what he wants, IE, attention.
I do follow David's investigative work on the Lennon case and always appreciate Paul's input on many threads, but this is a Forum where there are many contrary views and opinions on many controversial topics. I do find Michael's input to the JFK case very valuable. While he considers other questioning of official verdicts as 'craziness', he is welcome to that opinion. The Lennon killing has never been properly investigated in relation to Chapman's background, in the same way that Sirhan's part in RFK's assassination has been ignored by official investigative agencies. To quote MG, can you imagine what your average educated person will think when they visit this forum and come across the topic of CIA's MK/Ultra?
I have read Michael's posts on many topics ranging from the state of Israel, the USS Liberty to climate change, and I could debate the issues surrounding Dianna Spencer's death too. However, whether posts posit conspiracy or otherwise it is all part of the soup of this forum and all members have the right to give their two penneth...or cents worth.

Chapman was not 25 feet away. He was within 10 feet of Lennon when he opened fire. The autopsy report says Lennon was hit four times from behind, two in the back and two in the shoulder.
This is all just crazy talk. Lennon was not "assassinated." He was murdered by a deranged fan of the Beatles. Chapman was a nobody. He confessed to the crime, for heaven's sake.
And, pray tell, what wild theory do you have about motive? Why would the supposed conspiracy that allegedly assassinated Lennon have wanted to assassinate him and then frame Chapman for the crime in December 1980?
I'm reporting what the trauma room surgeon said who worked on Lennon, i.e. "John Lennon was shot four times in his left front chest, with three bullets coming out of his left back - at close range.
He was murdered by a deranged fan of the Beatles. So the MSM reported, however in 1980 Chapman was a fan of Todd Rundgren.
Chapman was a nobody. Yes, a low paid security guard who could afford to travel the world as well as stalk Lennon, flying from Hawaii to NY twice, once via Chicago staying in top hotels.
Sure, I agree with you, it's another open and shut case! Chapman was there, witnessed by the doorman, and confessed to the killing.
So too was Sirhan, he was there in the pantry, shooting, in front of witnesses, killing a liberal anti-war advocate. Sirhan had his mantra 'RFK Must Die'. Chapman's mantra was his Catcher in the Rye.
Michael, I don't have answers, but I certainly have questions. As Jim Marrs wrote in my copy of Crossfire, 'Pete, always question authority'.

I will continue reading and do a review later.
But please, let us not attack a book we have not read.
Look forward to your review. D.P.U.K. have printed my review in their two part 60th Special Edition of the 'Dealey Plaza Echo'. As I wrote in that review, Bart's work is covering much more than 'a fuzzy picture'.

Man, I avoid these types of threads, shooters, bullets, trajectories, wounds etc. 😵💫
However, if the JFKA was caused by an accidental flurry of shots by a SS agent, why did CIA send LHO to USSR & have him dance around Dallas & New Orleans with his FPCC Pro/Anti-Castro quick step, then rig impersonated Embassy phone calls in MC while arranging the loco call on Ms Odio? What made LHO a 'useful idiot'?

Mark Chapman murdered John Lennon - the end.
Speaking in 2011, Dr. David Halleran says John Lennon was shot four times in his left front chest, with three bullets coming out of his left back - at close range. Chapman was 25 feet behind Lennon.

Yes, this Main St. pic is one that I copied, as well as the Hotel Texas Chamber of Commerce audience photo.
My presentation on the assassination, concentrating on the 22nd November from Fort Worth to Parkland has been very well received and now have many bookings for 2024. The interest in this topic is very strong in Manchester U.K.
