    Last year, my wife and I went to see the Spielberg film " The Fabelmans. " 

    This was on a weekday and we got in for the "senior" price.

    This was at our local cinema plex here in Monterey, California.

    Lots of screens. Lots of seats.

    Only maybe 8 to 10 people were in the audience for this weekday time playing film however.

    All of us retirement age.

    When the movie finished my wife and I walked out into the hallway leading to the lobby. Another leaving couple even older than us happened to walk next to us.

    The other fellow's wife had to use the hallway lady's room at the same time as mine and so they walked in together.

    That left her husband and I standing next to each other.

    This woman's husband was a very friendly type like myself...and of course we said something funny to each other about our ladies not being able to make it home without relieving themselves before even leaving the theater.

    It's a ritual for my wife.

    This fellow and I clicked instantly. In just four to five minutes we had asked what each of us did in our careers. I mentioned that I was a common laborer all my life.

    He said he worked in the aerospace industry in the Bay Area. Asking him in what capacity he hesitated and then said something like ... well...pretty important stuff. Can't really talk about it.

    I can't explain why...but I just blurted out ... "Hey, are UFO's real?"

    My juvenile off-the-wall question kind of stopped our conversation and at that same moment our ladies were coming out through the theater exit doors together where we were waiting for them. Still, before they could reach us, this person turned and said to me in response to my UFO question ... "Let me just say this - most of them are ours."  We parted seconds later.

    FWIW.

    Whats Monterey like these days? I have fond memories of visiting the town in the summer of 2000. I had a contract job up in San Jose and a rental in Salinas. Rent for a 1 BR furnished was about $1500 back then which to a southerner was mind-boggling!

    IFritz allegedly told Fruge that the Dallas PD found maps of the sewer system in the apt of Sergio Arcacha Smith. 

    I have heard of this. Makes sense that there would be a shooter in the storm drain.

    How did a bullet fired from the right front strike nearly perpendicular to the right temple of a head turned to the left and facing slightly downward exit from the right rear with no damage to the left half of the skull?

    I don't think anybody posting here is a ballistics expert. Are you?

    Do you think the "black blob" is just a shadow? Please explain.

    And where's the proof that such a thing ever occurred?

    You have no such proof, of course. But you'll state it as a fact nonetheless.

     

    What were agents doing at the mortuary demanding privacy with the corpse and carrying bags of equipment? 

    The palm print appeared out of thin air well after the FBI had received the rifle from DPD and saw no signs of a print. The person who provided the alleged lift (Lt. Day) claims he did not get around to comparing the print to Oswald's and finding a match until much later. Lt. Day failed to photograph the alleged print prior to making a lift, a violation of procedures, and had no good excuse for violating procedures. There are no photographs of the alleged palm print on the rifle. In 1984 FBI agent Drain said himself that the print must have been some kind of cushion. Pat Speer covers this in great detail at his website.

  5. Found this image in a post by Jack White on the EF in 2010. Douglas Horne discusses frame 317 in his book Inside the ARRB. The "shadow" looks unnatural in relation to the brown colored hair at the top of JFK's scalp. I know this has probably been discussed to death.

    This PDF file (the link to which is below) contains the internal correspondence concerning the ARRB's investigation of the Zapruder film events at the NPIC on the weekend of the assassination, about contacting and interviewing Homer McMahon and Ben Hunter, and includes copies of CIA documents about same provided to the Rockefeller Commission in 1975, and copies of the working notes from the second NPIC session itself:   https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/104-10336-10024.pdf

    The following is the premier article on the alteration of the Zapruder film by Doug Horne, former Chief Analyst for the Assassination Records Review Board, and author of the five volume "Inside the Assassination Records Review Board." If you read it thoroughly you will understand the Zapruder film issues inside and out. It is well worth the read!

    This is a fascinating paper by Doug Horne. Thanks for linking it, Keven.

    So the CIA worked with Secret Service and whomever ran 'Hawkeyeworks' in New York state to doctor the Zapruder film. Presumably to obscure evidence of shots from the front?

    Internal FBI documents show FBI headquarters in D.C. suggesting to the Dallas FBI office that Kittrell was emotionally disturbed and suggesting a letterhead answer be prepared for Senator Kennedy’s office around those lines, which was done.

     

     

     

    Shades of Ralph Leon Yates the witness to an Oswald impersonator a few days before the JFKA. Except that the FBI succeeded in destroying Yates' life thanks to his 'inconvenient' story.

    1. Coming up with a scenario that doesn’t require a cast of thousands executing a complex plan with numerous ad hoc adjustments made with great agility.

    I understand what you are saying but the "cast of thousands" (not really thousands) might apply more for the coverup and enforcement of the lone nut position versus the number of plotters/killers. The coverup seems to have been necessitated in part because of the very clever WWIII virus. Just my opinion, subject to change.

    Wagner believes the greatest challenge to those who believe there was NOT a conspiracy is the high-on-the-top-of-the-skull bullet fragment trail, as both alleged rear entrance locations on the skull do not explain it away.

     

    From what I recall (I do not have the greatest memory and I do not have any notes or quotes in front of me) there is no way a full metal jacket bullet could have caused the top of the skull bullet fragments. 

  10. Anybody else come across this on YouTube? I listened to podcasts 1 and 4 last night. The series starts out audio only but recent episodes have video as well. He has done about 46 episodes so far so it is quite an investment of the listeners time for sure. Episode 4 about Oswald's whereabouts during the shooting really gets into the details, most of it familiar to folks on the EF.

    What are the odds John Roselli shortly before his HSCA testimony would disappear and later be found having been garroted, stabbed and shot.  Legs cut off and stuffed in a 55 gallon oil drum with holes cut in it and wrapped in heavy chain.  Dropped in the ocean.  With all those contingences, probably pretty high. 

    Separately, what are the chances the gases in his own decomposing body would be enough to lift it, the drum and chains to the surface to be washed up near shore? 

    What are the odds that the lamestream media would totally ignore this story in combination with the other witnesses who were violently knocked off before they were scheduled to testify?
