if it really was some shock-driven act of evidence tampering stupidity and he was worried about getting in trouble he could have asked the HSCA to grant him immunity or something. 

Before you judge this man's actions you really need to try and put yourself in his shoes post- Nov 22, 1963. If he knew he did something wrong (evidence tampering) then that would be a perilous situation for him. One option was to stay quiet. There are probably dozens of JFKA witnesses who decided to "stay quiet" for fear of repercussions.

Looks like this is the latest hot topic. I will check back often!

Also keep in mind that SS Agent Paul Landis (via the Vanity Fair article) also makes the claim that he saw two "bullet fragments" lying on the back seat as well.

Of course, as we all know, there were no bullet fragments recovered from the BACK seat. The two large bullet fragments (CE567 & 569) were found in the FRONT seat of the limousine after the car was flown back to Washington.

Some people (mostly CTers) can always claim, of course, that Agent Landis really did see a couple of bullet fragment lying on the back seat on 11/22, but the Bucket Brigade (clean-up crew) scooped those fragments up when they washed the back of the limo out at Parkland.

Bottom Line regarding Mr. Landis (IMO):

It's absolutely ridiculous and wholly unbelievable to think that a member of the United States Secret Service, right after discovering and moving a piece of very important evidence connected directly to the case of an assassinated President, wouldn't have mentioned to anyone the fact that he found a whole bullet right there in the same car where JFK was murdered.

And nobody can possibly use the fact that Mr. Landis, in later years, suffered from PTSD, which is, indeed, unfortunate for him. But any PTSD that was suffered by Mr. Landis certainly can't explain his lack of communicating with someone (anyone!) the fact he had found (and moved) a bullet on November 22.

 

Damage control.

Because it's so much fun seeing the CTers here at this forum go into their Denial Mode whenever the subject of the SBT comes up.

How the CTers of this planet manage to sidestep the logic of the SBT is beyond my capacity to understand. But nearly 100% of them have been doing it now for pert-near sixty years. Very strange indeed.

 

Funny you should ask about that. It's an interesting story indeed.....

As a young lad collecting Topps Baseball Cards in eastern Indiana in the year 1972, I was approached one day by a man who introduced himself as a Mr. Arlen Specter. I didn't know at that time who he was, but he asked me to sit down with him in front of the Kresge's store in Richmond's Gateway Shopping Center and he then proceeded to tell me a fascinating story. It was all about this "theory" he had concerning some kind of a "Bullet" that supposedly went through two different gunshot victims during an attempted murder somewhere in the state of....uh....Texas, I think it was.

Mr. Specter then told me to "spread the word" far and wide about this "SBT" nonsense. He said that something he called "The Internet" was going to be in everybody's home in about 20 or 25 more years, and when I grew up, he wanted me (of all people) to start up all kinds of "blogs" (whatever the hell those are) (????). And he wanted these "blog" things to all focus attention on JFK and this "SBT" thing he kept yammering about.

I didn't know what to think. Frankly, this Specter guy sounded like a nut. But he brainwashed me thoroughly (of course), so what could I do? I had no choice but to do as he said. And so, 35 years later, in August of 2007, I started my career as an Official JFK Assassination Disinformation Agent.*

* I had also spent the previous four years [2003-2007] as an ADA (Apprentice Disinfo Agent), mainly at Debra Conway's JFK Lancer forum.

It's not a very fun job (~sigh~), but I can't complain about the salary. (Plus the regular checks from the Arlen Specter Disinfo Estate keep coming in every month too. So that's another perk.)

 

SBT just took another knife in the back this weekend. Now on life support.

There is lead article coverage on Drudge Report. Nothing on Fox News. I am not going to even bother checking CNN, NBC etc.

Game changer?

Cue the "He's too old to remember anything" detractors.

So many bullets where did they all go?

The police lied about the provenance of the backyard photos. The question then becomes why would they lie about it?

Why didn't your CIA bud and others who could "name names" not do so?

Who were the "thugs" who successfully implicated the "patsy"? That concerns me much more than who the shooters were.

Looks to my eye like shadows were applied in the darkroom to obscure details of Roscoe's chin. Almost looks like whiskers. Why are people including HSCA "experts" so easily fooled?

Oswald's head on someone else's and very likely Roscoe White's body.

 

The same Roscoe White who was found later to be in possession of the negative of a never-before seen backyard photo of "Oswald". Nefarious, shady, fill in the blank...

Don't even get me started on those ridiculous photos. What was a previously unseen backyard photo doing in Roscoe White's possession? Whats with the horizontal line running across Lee's chin?

Who is Westwood?

I think you mean Westbrook.

Oh, and Charles don't you know what Mervyn does know?

That was Marcello.

Just like Marcello organized the Chicago Plot also. 

Even though that would have been way out of his territory,  and would have put Accardo and Giancana in danger.

Yes its Westbrook. Sorry my memory not what it used to be.

I think maybe there are some facts you haven't considered.

The Mafia didn't control the President's security, the Secret Service did.

The Mafia didn't control the evidence, the Dallas Police did.

The Mafia didn't control the investigation, the FBI did.

The Mafia didn't control the autopsy, the US Military did.

IMO, all of these agencies worked together, coordinated by the CIA, to allow the Agency's Cubans to remove Kennedy from office, frame Oswald for the assassination and coverup their foreknowledge and complicity.

This was, IMO, a political murder designed to return the power of the Presidency to the "deep state" which held that power prior to the 1960 election. Johnson was part of that "deep state" and by 1963 was preferred by these agencies over Kennedy.

And although threats came from other cities, like Chicago and Miami, those police departments were not corrupt enough to be a party to the murder of the President of the United States.

This could have happened in only one place, Dallas, described by Kennedy on November 22, 1963 as "Nut Country".

The CIA had its tentacles into every aspect of American life. Not only had it become an operational arm of the US Government, its influence transcended politics and could be felt in corporations, college campuses, police departments, media outlets and other government agencies.

I believe the coup d'etat was the election of Kennedy in 1960 and the assassination was the counter-coup.

I have asked this question before but nobody then cared to address it: What was it about the Dallas PD in 1963 that made them so open to participating in nefarious activities in the immediate aftermath of 11/23/63? Was there one person in the PD that dictated what underlings like Westwood and Croy did to help further the lone-nut assassin theory?

I am not aware of people posting on this JFKA forum theories about a 9/11 conspiracy. Maybe somebody mentioned it somewhere but it doesn't seem to be out of hand. When somebody gets out of hand the best solution is to mute them. Then you can choose which of their posts you are willing to unmute and read. Its simple and I thank the mods for allowing that option.

Funny story, sure and Lord knows we need more humor. It does confirm though that you like to tell stories.

Cherry picking which witnesses to believe. Who woulda thought?

At least 42 people who either witnessed the assassination or had important information unknown to the general public died within 3 years of the assassination. The odds of that happening are around 1 in a trillion. The number of unexplained, often violent deaths accelerated as important witnesses were subpoened by the HSCA (George de Morenschildt and Jim Rosselli, among others). 103 witnesses had died by 1978.

Somebody at JFKA Discussion evidently thought I slandered them or sold their ideas short in this post.

Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 ) (jfkassassinationforum.com)

3000 viewers? More like 3000 bots. Some of those bots might have difficulty penetrating deep into the education forum where the JFK assassination material is located. The JFK assassination section is a sub section of a much larger website on here. Whereas with the other forum you mention, the JFK assassination material is right there on the home page so bots can find their way around more easily and so be registered as "viewers" of that website.

On the flip side, some of the "34" visitors on here are also bots. It's just the other forum would have a lot more than are on here.

Interesting. Thanks for educating me on 'bots'.

At this writing there are 34 people worldwide including guests viewing this forum. Meanwhile at the JFKA Discussion website there are over 3000 viewers. Why would more of the masses be interested in reading constant nonsense from the likes of disinformation agent "Richard Smith" and "Brian Doyle" than from real JFK researchers like Pat Speer, Larry Hancock, David Josephs and Jim DiEugenio? Seems like some much needed P.R. is needed.

Wow you nail it with this one Steve. Good job as usual!

One of dozens upon dozens of important JFKA witnesses who died under very mysterious, unexplained circumstances. 

The one on the far left is somebody else.
