Ron Ecker Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I wonder why Harry Weatherford's shot at Oswald was covered up till now. Also, this is the first I've heard about firecrackers being thrown at LBJ's car from the grassy knoll as the car went by. And this was after Oswald had time to go down to the front door of the TSBD and wait for the sound of the firecrackers. LBJ's car was mighty slow-movin'. I've heard just about everything now.

Barb Junkkarinen Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 this sounds that it may be a dandy, and what i would like to know, could Madeleine have contributed seeing she died in 2002, just wondering...thanks b Good question, Bernice. Madeleine did know just about everyone in Dallas ... and they knew her. But I know Madeleine never said anything to me about being part of such a thing ... though that's no proof that she wasn't. Maybe they used quotes from her book ... Bests, Barb :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would point out that my outlook regarding using books as a research tool is not to see how close the author gets to summing it all up re the assassination, but to take what is factual and cannot be refuted and integrate that information into a separate whole. My take on the book is that the segment, rather small that deals specifically with the assassination was rather disappointing to me, partially for the item mentioned regarding Harry Weatherford, he had a shotgun, and I cannot truly imagine that he fired a shot that day at Oswald at the time he was firing from the TSBD, mainly because I do not believe Oswald was firing from the 6th floor or anywhere else that day, rifle or otherwise, although even if someone was firing other than Oswald, I still am a skeptic on that claim. But I do find the document below odd in light of the matter. Oswald 201 File PIECE OF WOOD REMOVED FROM BOTTOM WINDOW SILL OF WINDOW AT TEXAS SCHOOL; http://www.maryferre....do?docId=96283 Personally I believe the books greatest appeal is the very laborious treatment Gatewood gives regarding the life of Decker and moreover the history of Dallas. Supplanted by Dallas Morning News articles to verify key claims. For instance that Decker was a 32nd or 33rd degree Mason; if your'e counting that makes an interesting list of those who were a 32nd or 33rd degree Masons. Mr. William McKenzie, a 33 degree Mason Sheriff Bill Decker a 33 degree Mason Abraham Zapruder a 32nd degree Mason J Edgar Hoover 33 degree Mason Skull and Bones personages obviously are not mentioned here, but I assume those who are interested know the basics. Some people might use that to advance the idea that the Kennedy Assassination was a Masonic plot, I would say simply that the information needs to be integrated into the whole body of evidence, beside the fact that if there had ever been a no holds barred investigation the Masonic issue would probably never have even mentioned [sort of like how the use of silencers is never mentioned as a possibility in those fabulous investigations of the Dealey Plaza crime scene. grins] Historical figures in Dallas, DeLois Green Herbert Noble, Benny Binion Bonnie Parker Clyde Barrow Buddy Walthers 1969 shooting death, are some of the other items worth knowing about I am particularly interested in the relationship between Bill Decker and W.O. Bankston, particularly with regards to automobiles. The fact that the book is a bio of Decker is the strong point of the book, it is truly a very good bio of Decker, my only criticism in that regard is that I believe the author is a little too partial towards his subject and doesen't maintain the impartiality towards the subject that makes truly timeless biographies. The Dallas History is worth the cost of the book itself, in that it provides a backdrop to the Kennedy Assassination that is somewhat comparable to the Dallas bio by Darwin Payne. The following document regarding John Benton Turns circa 1947, compliments some of the persons mentioned in Gatewood's book. Home/Archive/Documents/JFK Assassination Documents/JFK Documents - Federal Bureau of Investigation/FBI - HSCA Subject Files/FBI - HSCA Subject Files, S - T/FBI - HSCA Subject File: John Benton Turns/ NARA Record Number: 124-10298-10157 NO TITLE, SUBJECTS: JBT, CRIME SURVEY, GAMBLING ACT LIST http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=81668 I guess the bottom line regarding the Decker bio is that, if you want to think the mob did it, then youv'e come to the right place.

Guest Robert Morrow Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Check out this link: http://www.dcarb.com/dallas-history/jfk-assassination.htm Deputy Sheriff Harry Weatherford is much more likely to have been shooting at JOHN KENNEDY and not at some phantom sniper in the 6th floor window! I do think there were snipers plural on the 6th floor. And Harry Weatherford was shooting at NONE of them. Like I said, if Weatherford shot at anyone that day, it was JOHN KENNEDY, imho.

Steve Duffy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 So, John f Kennedy Assassination A Mafia conspiracy.....By Jim Gatewood...first, I really need to find out more about this Dallas County Assassination Review board....second....Lee fired 3 shots..A mafia contract by the Mafia Kingpin Sam Giancana...3 shots hit (yes the magic bullet is true), the second struck JFK in the head...the third went wild, while Lee was drawing a bead on Jacqueline (his second intended victim)...Because of the Heroics of DS Harry Weatherford, from the top of the county records building. He was late for the first 2 shots, but fired at the snipers perch so Oswald missed his 3 rd shot, which went wild and hit the curb...wounding Mr Tague. The DCARB is trying to get the city of Dallas to recognize Weatherford's extraordinary heroics, in saving the first lady's life...some information was provided by a 90 year old mole the authors have chosen to call...the mole...all in 150 neat pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
