I don't think at this time anyone should be ignored.

IF this has anything to do with the assassination of JFK. Note IF. then it'd important to get the full story as presented by whoever. IF, then the development MAY indicate that the coverup is ongoing in a way some may understand. Those guys spent a lot of time in the TSBD. Who knows whatever else may have been happening at the same time.

This is happening in real time. A slow response may be detrimental in the long run.

________________

With regards to the box of documents found under a bridge a couple of weeks ago? What is ongoing there. Where are they?.

It struck me as being a deliberate drop.

________________

This MAY be a sign that someone somewhere, possibly unwittingly so, has hit on something.

IF so I'd like to know what.

I would't sent anything regarding the JFK assassination to the 6th floor museum. I would rather throw it into a vulcano!

The Ministry of Truth controls information: news, entertainment, education, and the arts. GARY MACK works in the Ministry of Truth branch called 6TH FLOOR MUSEUM (Dallas), "rectifying" historical records regarding the JFK assassination to adjust them with the LONE NUT PRONOUNCEMENTS OF BIG BROTHER...

BK: Karl, your attitude seems to be a popular one, except that there are some witnesses who weren't interviewed by the official investigations or the media, and their oral histories tell us a lot that we wouldn't ordinarily know. Some of these witnesses were reluctant to come forward before, or were ignored, or they only allow the Sixth Floor to take their story because they think the Sixth Floor position on the assassination is correct and will protect them. Whatever, as can be seen with the Oral Histories at the JFK Library and the LBJ Library, which I've just discovered, there is a wealth of information that has yet to be processed yet alone properly reported on.

Since I am so woefully uninformed about all matters Dallas, and have been pontificating about the value of the inaccesseable Sixth Floor Oral Hisories, here's the KK's Minister of Truth himself, Gary Mack to fill us in on the real state of affairs at Houston and Elm, complete with Lollypop. Thanks for keeping us posted Gary. And be sure to let us know what's in the film from the DA's safe, will ya?

Gary: Good heavens, Bill, sometimes you seem like a little kid without his lollipop. You are so woefully uninformed, yet that doesn't stop you from pontificating erroneously again and again. Here is your latest screed with some factual information to help you.

Hi,

BK: No they are not transcribed and posted on line, though it would be nice if they were.

GARY: Someday they will, which is why the Museum has been spending the time and money to build an online, searchable database. Such work takes expertise and funding, of course, since the Museum is not funded by tax payers or any government sources.

BK: At a time when the Sixth Floor is receiving the cache of records discovered in a safe at the DA's office, and promoting the fact that the local newspaper scanned the documents and had them placed on line for anybody who's interested to read,

GARY: FALSE. The DA's office scanned those documents and provided them to both The Dallas Morning News and The Sixth Floor Museum. The News' website could accommodate the huge files and volunteered, as a public service, to host the documents.

and as the City of Dallas did with their documents, the Sixth Floor would do the same.

GARY: The city's JFK archive is on a public university-supported website (the University of North Texas) as part of an existing education program.

Especially with the recent theft of safes, you would think that they would try to promote the idea that they are better suited to handle such records than the National Archives and Records Administration.

GARY: The safes were in the Visitors Center, which is a separate building from the old TSBD where the Museum's exhibits are located. No historic documents were in them and the Museum's collections remain totally safe. Here is the latest information, which you apparently haven't bothered to read:

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-sixthfloorupdate_12met.ART.State.Edition1.4cf6a9d.html

So have you downloaded all the public DA files and donated them to NARA? If not, why not? If NARA had the scans, then no one could come along later to claim something had been altered, right? By the way, are all NARA JFK documents available online? No? So what's your point?

There are federal laws that have been introduced and being considered that would make it mandatory for all government agencies to post on line the most significant and most frequently requested records, but it doesn't appear that the government agencies really want to do this anymore than the Sixth Floor wants to.

GARY: The most requests at the Museum are the films and certain photographs, and they have been on the website FREE for several years….with more to come.

I am taking invitory of the Oral Histories that I want to read and will send them a check requesting these tapes/transcripts, and if I get a tape I will transcribe it myself for the Sixth Floor, just as I did my own, which they videotaped.

GARY: Excellent! It's about time you did something positive instead of whine and complain. Oral history interviews are currently transcribed by interns under guidance from Associate Curator Stephen Fagin. He assigns specific transcripts based upon inquiries, so if no one asks, they are ignored in favor of others that folks specifically request.

I think these Oral Histories are extremely important and have been harping on them for the past week or so, but it doesn't appear like anyone (other than Kathy) has acquired or read/heard any of them.

GARY: So if few are interested, what's the big rush? When the Reading Room opens in a few weeks, anyone can come in and read all of the finished transcripts at no charge whatsoever. Those inquiries will also help determine what docs appear on the website.

Perhaps the members of the Ed Forum can make it a little project and those who want to participate can request the records they are most interested in and then file a synopsis of what is there so everyone can know.

I think there are certainly enough people with interest in the Zapruder Film who can't call themselves experts on the subject until they actually read or hear what is among these oral histories. The same goes for the TSBD employees, Parkland witnesses, Oak Cliff witnesses, Dallas policemen, Ruby friends, the Honor Guard contingent, and of course the Cubans. They have interviews with a dozen Cubans. What do they have to say?

There's really a lot there, but if we just start with the Z-film witnesses, we could learn a lot.
