....At the time Col. Prouty retired from the U.S. Air Force, in 1964, he was the liaison between the Secretary of Defence and the CIA Director, Allen Dulles. Prouty was in a unique position to perceive what was going on in the CIA and what pressures were on President Kennedy. On frequent occasions, Prouty would work out of the home of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles with the Dulles brothers on fast breaking world affairs. Allen Dulles was the CIA Director that John Kennedy fired after the Bay of Pigs fiasco who sat on the WARREN COMMISSION. All knowledgeable researchers place the Dulles brothers within the circle of the conspirators.
If we only knew then, what we do now, it would have been easy to identify the other conspirators. Lyndon Johnson lived across the street from J. Edger Hoover for 22 years in Washington D.C. Johnson was associated with Jack Ruby in Dallas. Hoover attended the meeting at the Clint Murcheson ranch, along with Richard Nixon and high ranking military, where the last minute details of the assassination were worked out. Richard Nixon first told the FBI he did not remember where he was when JFK was murdered. Then he said he was in Dallas but flew out an hour before the shooting. He lied. Executives at the PEPSICO meeting attended by Nixon related that not only was Nixon there when the shooting happened but Nixon was the only person who wanted to go on working after the shocking news of the President's death.
At the street level below these conspirators we find the CIA Bay of Pigs operatives Frank Sturgus, Jack Youngblood and E. Howard Hunt being photographed in the famous "tramp photos". These three suspects were arrested in a boxcar which was parked behind the grassy knoll picket fence over which the fatal shot was fired. These 3 assassins were released after 15 minutes by the FBI without being finger printed, photographed or identified and were last seen leaving Dallas in a police squad car. As a litmus test, any documentary which omits these photos is probably a fraud. These photos have never been shown by the mass media to the American public.
I have no idea. I just now noticed this thread while surfing FR. I'll ping him for you.
Don't forget one of the BY photos was found in Roscoe White's belongings after he died. If the DPD was willing to secret *that* evidence, what else did they secret, hmmm???
If the FIB was willing to deny evidence found in the Waco massacre, don't you think it's possible they played with evidence in a presidential assassination to assure the public that the right perp had been captured and murdered in custody and that no one else was at large?
No, I wouldn't say that at all. They were not hard shots, and he missed one of them completely. Shooter is trying to tell you they were easy shots. He knows. The most common reaction from people that visit the 6th floor and look out that window is suprise at how much closer it is than they thought and how easy the shots would be.
That's why aluminum foil beanies are a more functional choice, if not more stylish.
Looks like the liars club is out tonight.
I've been there, and while I don't claim to be a master sniper, it's an eminently makeable shot. It's not that far, as you said, and Oswald had another thing working in his favor. Due to the layout of Dealey Plaza, when you see where JFK was when the shots were fired, the car carrying him would have been moving almost directly away from Oswald. Hence, almost no movement across the FOV.
Not with that particular rifle, and not with that junk 7/8-inch Jap scope, which Army Ordnance technicians had to shim to even hit the 6-foot cotton bales then used for recovery of bullets, not a usual concern of those AMTU military balisticians.
Nor has anyone caught what was special, particularlar and unique about that particular model of 6,5mm Carcano, and why that would be of importance in the November 1963 timeframe, or to anyone who knows what *Mexican match* rifle ammunition is and how it got its name.
But I'm pretty certain I could have made those shots- or longer ones, with a more serious rifleman's piece of equipment, with [say for instance] a pre-'64 [obviously!] Winchester Model 70 rebarrelled to 6,5 carcano. It took a little attention to the bolt face and extractor as well, but the question might be why that particular cartridge/bullet combination...? And remember, still true now as it was then: only accurate rifles are interesting....

Whether you agree with it or not, the HSCA, the official government final finding, found that JFK was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. There have been no further official investigations----that I am aware of.
Let's say Oswald did it. WHY?
Please quote me saying anything about the rifle or shots!
