Well, I guess I wanted to see it then, because it sure looked good to me. Are you saying that the Gordon fellow was lying about being there?
I am not an assassination nut, but when you listen to the Parkland Hospital doctors say that the medical evidence that they saw on the ER table was different from what made it to Washington,what do you make of that? Were they lying too?

Did you see the photo analysis of the photo of the grassy knoll showing the shooter--badge man-- and the railroad worker to his left; and then the young soldier [witness] off to the left of the picture?No. I'd be interested in checking it out if you can supply a link.
. . . slowing of same in front of the Dealey Plaza.
I do think it looks odd on film, as if they slowed down to allow better shots. If you were driving and heard sudden, unexpected reports, what would your reaction be? I think they slowed down when the first shot was heard. Then as more shots ensued they understood the gravity of the situation.

Are you saying that the Gordon fellow was lying about being there? Absolutely. There is photo coverage of the spot he claimed to be in. He's not there. He is not the first person to come forward with a falsifiable story to get some attention. You need to be as skeptical about these conspiracy claims as they want you to be about the Warren Commission.

They don't say that. In the 80's the NOVA program took them to the Archives to see the autopsy photographs. The doctors came out and said they showed what they saw in Dallas.

One of the most interesting parts of this article to me was this part:
The welfare/warfare state created by LBJ and the others (redacted clause)persists to this day and drags us all ever closer to total slavery, and America knows it. This is true whether or not LBJ was in on it, or LHO acted alone.

Dry firing is working the action and trigger without ammunition. The bolt stop is a flange on the magazine follower that sticks up to keep the user from inadvertently closing the rifle on an empty chamber, similar to the M-16 and M-14 bolt hold open devices. Mauser clones have a notch in the side of the receiver so that the non-firing hand can use the thumb to depress the magazine follower (the part that pushes up the rounds in the magazine) to let the barrel close. This is necessary for working the action when no round is in the chamber. This is not needed for the British Lee-Enfield, since the magazine can simply be removed.
For rapid fire on the lee enfield, there is a mode that manipulates the bolt with thumb and index finger of firing hand, and pulls the trigger with the middle finger of the firing hand.
To practice dryfiring and working the action with rounds in the chamber, you can use dummy rounds, and never mind the bolt stop. Dry firing really gets you accustomed to the trigger. Jeff Cooper, who famously knows rifles and pistols very well, still spends at least a month dryfiring every night before his TV before making a Safari. I am teaching my daughter to shoot, and dryfiring is an essential part of that.

I'm not sure I agree with the premise that the death of JFK was a key milestone in the death of the Constitution but it is still an interesting article. Consider it in light of the possibility that it was supposed to happen three weeks earlier in Chicago, coincidentally with Diem's removal in Vietnam, where Chicago police and Secret Service personnel instead arrested the planned assassin, a former Marine with a history of mental health treatment who was going to shoot JFK from an upper-story window of a building. Sound familiar?
