On climate change -- James Hansen et al. pretty accurately predicted what is happening back in 1981.  The predictions of their model is pretty much right on track when corrected for the banning of fluorocarbons which lowers the predictions of global warming.

Additionally there is a discussion of the effects of global warming in the future - the 21st century (which is now) in the original paper.  There are also discussions of effects in following papers from the 80s.

The original 1981 paper is here if anyone is interested -  the assumptions, equations plots and discussion of effects are all there.  https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ha04600x.html

Hansen bibliography is here: http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/publications.shtml

Model updates & discussion of global warming effects - regional drought, severe storms, oceanic effects are in some of the papers.

There are various reviews of the models by journalists readily available.

Here's one:  https://www.science.org/content/article/even-50-year-old-climate-models-correctly-predicted-global-warming

Dismissing the models by claiming inaccuracy is a mistake.

Dammit.  Biden is pulling a Trump on us.

If I recall correctly, when President George H.W. Bush ("Mr. George Bush of the CIA") signed the JFK Records Act in 1992, he attached a rider granting the POTUS the authority to withhold records at his own discretion.

 

If I remember correctly the duties of the President of the US do not include 'attaching riders' to laws passed by the legislative branch.

With hindsight -- 

IIRC Baker was a traffic cop 

But wouldn't any policeman in a city be trained to seal off the avenue of escape if alone and wait for the others to arrive?

I've never understood his immediately heading up the stairs (with Truly making it even worse IMO)  opening up escape routes behind him if he missed someone on a floor or in an office.

So these men are leaning forward and on a downward slope... yet it is the bullet's impact which causes them to fall forward.  Ha  Okay.  Whatever you say.

Good grief.

 

If you look they have already been shot  and are falling forward.

Only a person who demands 100% to-the-inch perfection in a Single-Bullet Theory re-creation like the one performed in October 2004 in "JFK: Beyond The Magic Bullet"  would think that the SBT was actually "debunked" in that program.

 

The angles don't work -- move it to the wound in the autopsy photos and the bullet still exits the chest not the throat ashard as that might be for you to accept.

Bugliosi is in his seventies. So he was alive during the Vietnam War. He apparently forgot one of the most famous images from the Tet offensive. This is the film taken in Saigon during the uprising when an Army of South Vietnam officer summarily executes a suspected Viet Cong guerilla. He fires his pistol into his head at close range. The impacting force drives the victim backward and drops him to the grounde. –P.113 Reclaiming Parkland. 

FWIW - I've seen a documentary on WW2 while in France.  In it the SS have lined up victims kneeling facing a pit.  They are then executed by a rifle shot to the back of the head.  They fall forward into the pit driven by the momentum of the bullet.

Morley's presentation was well done and interesting.  And new info about a Oswald-CIA relationship can be the sort of thing that some media will pick up on.  But I'm not sure where it leads.

 

Particularly if you think Oswald wasn't on the 6th floor.  Or, setting that aside, you think that the CIA, with its stable of trained killers from around the world, would never have relied on Oswald to do this most important job.  The idea that Oswald was a shooter, let alone the only one, has a bunch of hurdles to clear before it can viewed as even credible.

 

Pursuit of the idea that Oswald was a patsy set up by the CIA, however, can be enhanced by further exploration of his relationship with the CIA.  After all, they had to know enough about him the choose him as the patsy.

 

But is that all there is to this line of inquiry?    

If Oswald was informing on anti-Castro Cubans training at Lake Pontchartrain & other activities possibly including the warning from 'Lee' in Chicago -- maybe it was just an opportunity to remove 2 people at the same time.  

Whitley Strieber's Communion was the scariest book I ever read.

Then I heard him on Coast to Coast and thought he was at minimum very troubled by something.

from the original article:

Quote

The driver wore a light tan zipper jacket found near the scene of the TIPPIT murder, Commission Exhibit 162. Craig said it was identical with the jacket worn by the driver.”

Bill-

Yes...but a decades-old dictabelt? And if another group of experts sets up mikes do they get a different result? 

 

Agreed about the dictabelt.   -- I was just going for the easiest to understand explanation of what it might show.

It's probable that if the matching of the dictabelt plots with a the set of of mics along the route was done mathematically (and done well) the order of the best matches would still be the same for the 5 sound waves.  

But it's still based on the assumption that the dictabelt is accurate.

The problem is the acoustics evidence is that to the layman it is indecipherable. You get the classic "battling experts" problem. 

It doesn't help when even the experts I want to believe say things like "There were four shots...but maybe five." 

 

In one of the videos Vince Palamara posted on Youtube there was a simple explanation of the results of 1 of the experiments.

If I remember correctly:

• Around 30 microphones were placed along the parade route leading into and through Dealey plaza.   They were sequentially numbered  in their order along the route.
• shots were then fired from several locations and recorded at the above locations.
• the patterns from the 5 shots on the dicta belt were matched to the shot location / microphone pattern they most closely matched.  I don't remember if this was done visually or mathematically.
• each of the 5 shots were matched to different location microphones
• the patterns on the dictabelt are then labelled A,B,C,D,E in their order of occurance
• There are 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 possible ways to shuffle A->E
• The matching patterns from the microphone recordings of the experimental shots occurred in the A -> B -> C -> D -> E sequence.  There is only 1 way to get a sequence in this order .  
• So the odds of this happening are 1 in 120. 

It could happen by chance, but couple that with some of the other experimental evidence and probabilities and it makes a lone gunman hypothesis very unlikely.

I suspect that Williams feared for his safety when he left his sixth floor visit out of his initial statement. I'm just not sure if he was more afraid of the police...or someone else...

 

I agree this seems reasonable.

Another must-read. I read the full article in the print edition of the New York Times today. It is an eye-opener.

 

Their America Is Vanishing. Like Trump, They Insist They Were Cheated. (yahoo.com)

Interesting article.

Those interviewed in the article aren't the only ones who think that they have been disenfranchised.

In a perfect world---with unlimited manpower and resources---yes, I agree with you on this 100%, Bill.

Unfortunately, there is no such world. Never has been.

There were plenty of police officers in Dealey Plaza and just  around the corner.  IN addition to lHO the 2 unidentified men that Davis & Truly ran into on the ground floor should have been detained.

Davis could easily have stayed at the bottom of the stairs sealing off the floors above and detained the 2 men or waited until other officers arrived.

Likewise, the officer that went up the hill first on the Grassy Knoll should have detained every 1 he ran into.

Yes, it would have been ideal if Officer Baker had detained Oswald instead of letting him go. And I'm guessing that Marrion Baker often had feelings of guilt himself for allowing the assassin to escape the building. If Baker had detained Oswald on the spot in the lunchroom, of course, it would have saved the life of J.D. Tippit.

But, as they say, hindsight is very nearly always 20/20.

 

Not talking about just LHO - everyone in all the buildings around Dealy Plaza and all in the plaza should have been detained, identified and questioned.

Always found it strange that a positive response to 'Does this man work here?' was the get out of the TSBD free card.

But likely the even bigger, the whole story was hidden---which would possibly still involve LHO, but as part of a small conspiracy (in terms of same-day participants) with CIA roots or connections. Maybe a false flag op. 

If LHO was totally uninvolved, there would have been no reason to murder him. IMHO...

 

There would be one scenario -- maybe:

LHO informs on either the Cubans training in LA or the Chicago plot or both.

He's found out by the plotters or they are notified and do a 2-for-1 with the planned murder of LHO somewhere then to frame him with the MC rifle.  However, he luckily eludes them, goes back to get his firearm then proceeds to the designated meetup place -- the theatre.

Would explain why he was so unperturbed when arrested as he has a lot of information at his disposal and must be silenced.

Again - it's only a possible scenario.  But I do remember reading that he was at Lake Pontchartrain before one of the raids on the training centers.

very well done -- thanks

Interview posted by Vince Palamara on YouTube -- thanks Vince.

The first part about his visit to the Paines was incredibly interesting.  I had never heard this.

Unless someone has shown what was done incorrectly in this simulation, doesn't it alone disprove the SBT?

The fact that the participants claimed just the opposite made me laugh when I saw the initial broadcast in the 80s-early 90s.

To sum up:  Oswald likely spoke with a Polish accent or that of another Eastern European dialect because he was raised there as a child where he learned Russian at an early age prior to being displaced during or immediately after the war.

Based on my own experiences with a second language and one significantly easier than Russian... I think this is the most likely explanation.

Was it written in invisible ink?

Has General Theodore Mataxis surfaced in your studies?

No Leslie, he hasn't .... some interesting connections to say the least.  Thanks

Thanks -- I found that a very interesting & easy to follow and understand explanation of how the acoustic evidence was evaluated and confirmed wit30.h experimental data.

One question -  On the caliber of the weapon on the grassy knoll -- was the 30.06 an example or the actual answer from the lookup?
