Hi... Did you read the article in total that is posted here. I think the most compelling proof is that the memos could not possibly have been centered on any typewriter at that time, that consistently.

Good job.

Clearly, the other MSM stations have to carry the ball on this. If they don't Rather gets away with it. IF they do, they will demand more answers.

We've done our job.

It's an excellent point and let me summarize what I think is the main argument. You could center text on a typewriter by simply tab to the center of the page and then backspacing once for every letter or space in the line you want to center. However that presumes that you are using a monospace font - which typewriter fonts usually are.

However that technique would not work with a proportional font because the widths of the individual characters and spaces will vary. In order to center a line of text using proportional fonts you have to first calculate the width of the entire line and then start the line at the point in which you would be centered.

Word does this automatically for you and thus we don't think of centering as a big deal. However to center text on a typewriter with proportional fonts in 1972 would be a lot of work and beyond the capability of someone who was not familar with typesetting and who was working a machine capable of lining up text to fractions of points. This is extremely unlikely for a machine found in a National Guard office used to type memos that are not prepared for professional publishing.

The fact that the centered text matches exactly to the Word document (created using the default setting of Word btw with no special work) to me is definitive proof of forgery.

Yep, saw that. That was complelling, but I thought picutres were the most compelling. Even an admitted specialist on the IMB composer could not replicate the memos.
