  1. Michael, In a 1997 interview by Walt Brown, Aubrey Rike told of receiving several "bogus" ambulance calls during the days preceding the President's motorcade, and the location was usually the corner of Houston and Elm Streets. Did Rike get to Belknap on the 22nd too quickly? Was this a ploy to slow the motorcade on Houston?
  2. What? Please supply historical reference for this statement.

  4. Somewhat off topic to your thread Gil, but I've always wondered how that sequence fits in with JFK's & J.C.'s known wounds & what is seen in Zapruder's film. 🤨
  5. Yes I agree and did notice that is a doubt when not referring to 'Kennedy's casket'. Yet back in 2003 at Lancer I first heard Dennis David's account of meeting a black Cadillac hearse, delivered by men in suits, and offloading a lightweight ordinary shipping casket. David's team working under orders from Secret Service. Apparently three other witnesses to this were Paul O'Conner, Don Rebentisch & Floyd Riebe. Add the report from Gawler's Funeral Home dated 23rd November stating "Body removed from metal shipping casket at USNH at Beth." O'Conner also told of JFK's body taken out of shipping casket in a zippered body bag & John Van Hoeson of Gawler's also told ARRB that Kennedy's body arrived in a "black zippered plastic pouch." Correct. Many report a helicopter landing on a Bethesda hospital car park area. I don't know what to make of these claims. Whatever went on before and during Kennedy's autopsy, testimonies and statements do not add up to the official story. It all seems like a David Blaine routine. I've never bought into Lifton's idea that JFK's body was lifted out of the Dallas casket on AF1, but I can understand why he arrived at that theory to explain these later anomalous reports.
  6. Michael, the kicker for me is the evidence from Roger Boyajian, (U.S. Marine sergeant in charge of a Marine security detail at Bethesda) in his report submitted November 26 '63 he wrote "At approximately 1835 the casket was received at the morgue entrance and taken inside." He personally kept a copy of his report & 30 years later submitted same to the ARRB. Boyajian's report was never submitted to either Warren or HSCA. Further, other Bethesda personnel witnessed the front arrival of the grey ambulance from Andrews AFB with Jackie & RFK AFTER X-rays of JFK's body had been taken. Officially the autopsy began c8 o'clock. So that amounts to around 80 minutes for a pre-autopsy/surgery of the head scenario.
  7. Is that so B.C.? Interesting that on the 23rd & 24th supposed Secret Service man, ( a 'Mr. Smith') was in NPIC in D.C. with the Zapruder film.
  8. Stringer also stated the images in the Nat Archives are not on the same type of film that he used + he shot only views of the top of the brain & most of the images in the Archives are of the underside (basilar views).
  9. Scott joined the FBI in March 1941. Originally assigned to the Cryptography division, he asked to become a Special Agent. He was sent to spy on the German population in Pittsburgh, and in February 1943 loaned to the US Embassy in Cuba. After returning to Washington, D.C. he was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services and assigned to London, where he became head of the Germany section of X-2 (OSS' Counter Espionage Branch). After the end of World War II Scott remained stationed in London, becoming the CIA's first London station chief in 1947. In 1950 he became head of the Western European division of the Office of Special Operations, overseeing espionage throughout Western Europe. In 1955 Scott asked for a transfer to Mexico City, and took office as station chief there in August 1956.
  10. In just over ninety pages + large font text, this 'booklet' is done in just a couple of hours. 'The JFK Assassination-A Technical Review of the Evidence' by Anthony Rante is not worth the money or the reading time. Perhaps this is aimed at first time readers of the case, but anyone with even basic knowledge of facts will encounter glaring errors. Rante states "While in Mexico City, [Oswald] he allegedly entered the US embassy." "The president was riding in an open limousine on his way from a main airport (Loves Field)." When describing the Grassy Knoll & police officer Joe M. Smith he writes, "He was likely the first person to arrive. The officer dropped his motorcycle near the curb and ran up the hill seconds after the assassination took place." All these errors in the first chapter and there are many more littering these pages. I'll be generous, and rate it with one star.
  11. Very many thanks Joe for putting up this video. A superb 3 hours spent listening to this. The James McCord info was new and fascinating to me. I highly recommend people should spare the time to watch this.
  12. Indeed. I contacted Greg via e-mail some time back & he had traced one or both of the Aussie girls, and he said to me that they would not talk, which I find suspect after the passage of time. He also stated that Dr McFarland had been seconded to work in a hospital in the U.S., prior to the supposed MC trip. Would love to know more on that!
  13. Well, I had an Amazon gift card so I have only paid £6 for this & Monica Wiesak's 'America's Last President'.
  14. That's a brilliant piece Joe! I know it's not a funny subject, but made me laugh. I was hearing Arlo's 'Alice's Restaurant'.
  15. OMG, so it was Bond on the knoll after all. If John Hamer's JFKA theories are anything approaching his 'Titanic' was 'Olympic' theory I'd give him a wide berth.
  16. Amazon U.K. have it available in paperback & Kindle. Ordered & arriving on Friday.
  17. I've found this perplexing for ages Sandy. I tend to lean toward believing Albert Osborne's statements that he wrote in '64 in a letter to his relatives in U.K. that he did not travel on the Flecha Roja bus sitting next to LHO. On the other hand, we have the supposed fellow travellers Mr & Mrs McFarland from Liverpool and the two Aussie girls Mumford & Winston, who put the two together! As someone described it, 'it's a swamp'.
  18. Not possible Ron! Willis took his pics on Elm. He would have to fly with a red cape on to snap the other shot...just around 30 Zapruder frames after from Main. That's Bronson.
  19. Ron, for what it's worth, from a non expert of these photographs, I think the top one is cropped from Charles Bronson, and the bottom one is Phil Willis.
