Seems like something was fishy at that location from the beginning, that there were many 'participants' in the area perhaps?Yes, why confiscate it? It would either show Oswald at the window, no one at the window, or someone else at the window. And what do you think to Gordon Arnold's statements?
Trouble is, there are so many other witnesses who heard shots coming from behind them / the grassy knoll area.What do I think of Gordon Arnold? Not much. Like Beverly Olliver, he's been lapped up by assassination researchers with very little in the way of background research performed. I think this is because their stories give researchers the equivalent of wet dreams so any suspicions are never entertained.
I think you're right, how about all the witnesses who claimed to see TWO men in that 6th floor window, before the shooting?I am becoming more convinced that he was set up, used as a diversion to let the real killer get away.
Ralph Yarborough who was riding in the motorcade saw Arnold throw himself to the ground when the shots started. I don't see why he is any less valuable as a witness than anyone else. And an army guy who was doing his basic training at the time, is pretty alert as well.Trouble is, there are so many other witnesses who heard shots coming from behind them / the grassy knoll area.
Too many witnesses to ignore, please see the article I just posted above for some interesting info.
I agree, Yarborough saw a man jump and fall against a wall, and there aren't too many walls in that area.Ralph Yarborough who was riding in the motorcade saw Arnold throw himself to the ground when the shots started.

...it has been supported by the testimony of Ralph Yarborough who told a newspaper reporter from the Dallas Morning News: "Immediately on the firing of the first shot I saw the man you interviewed (Arnold) throw himself onto the ground. He was down within a second of the time the shot was fired, and I thought to myself, 'There's a combat veteran who knows how to act when weapons start firing."I agree, Yarborough saw a man jump and fall against a wall, and there aren't too many walls in that area.
Excuse me if this photo has been discussed before, I'm sure it has, but I missed that, kind of odd that Moorman's photo blow up would appear to show some odd figures in the grassy knoll area. Or not, depending on what one sees.
Thank You for posting that excellent video, I've been watching it for a few days, it's long but well worth the watch! An unloved and unwanted child who turned into a confused man, pro-communist, anti-communist, pro-Castro, anti-Castro, it's difficult to really understand Oswald, but what's clear is that he ran in the same circles with underworld people. How convenient for that group that, once the attempt in Florida failed, Oswald was working in a building on that parade route - the perfect 'patsy' for their purposes. And he was only employed there for about six weeks?I love PBS.
This 2013 doco may have been posted b4. It's very good.

That seems highly improbable. Few would be closer to the facts or more aware of the theories peddled since the event.seems his own family has not seen the doubts brought up in this case?
So many things are rather strange though in this case, more questions than answers.You're welcome.
I agree he was an enigmatic man. The video really offset Stone's JFK version of Oswald. At the time of the film, I was convinced there was a second shooter - it was the only narrative in pop media. Now I think, despite the Warren Commission's shoddy mop-up, that he acted alone, but probably at the behest of the nuts he was running with.
That seems highly improbable. Few would be closer to the facts or more aware of the theories peddled since the event.
100% with you on that. Fascinating case.more questions than answers.
...apparently even the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 felt that 4 shots had been fired at JFK, and that at least one shot came from that grassy knoll area.
Maximus, you are definitely a great researcher! Your work on the Ilkley Moor photo was really outstanding. I really respect many of you guys on here, great analysis and interesting posts. You all bring up details that show deep thinking!"The Committee further concluded that it was probable that:

- four shots were fired
- the fourth shot came from a second assassin located on the grassy knoll, but missed. The HSCA concluded the existence and location of this alleged fourth shot based on the later discredited Dallas Police Department Dictabelt recording analysis."

Isn't the withholding of information in itself a sign of covering up?Today President Biden released more secret information on JFK, and observers are puzzled saying what will be given to the public will not help clarify anything.
There is still a mountain of classified JFK information.
Yes, he's very good- when he's sober.Maximus, you are definitely a great researcher! Your work on the Ilkley Moor photo was really outstanding. I really respect many of you guys on here, great analysis and interesting posts. You all bring up details that show deep thinking!
I don't pay much attention to the dictabelt recording.Maximus, you are definitely a great researcher! Your work on the Ilkley Moor photo was really outstanding. I really respect many of you guys on here, great analysis and interesting posts. You all bring up details that show deep thinking!
It seems every year brings new research and more theories, so I believe that this case is not done yet, perhaps someone is going to confess what they saw or heard on their deathbed, or maybe someone's photo or video is waiting to be discovered in an attic ...
Whatever happened to that babushka lady??
Yes. The cop said it couldn't have been from his recording as he was further away at the time.Reply to Floyd1:
"I don't pay much attention to the dictabelt recording."
I never understood those recordings, very confusing, don't know how they could actually get much information from all that noise.
But many witnesses heard 4 shots.
Nothing about this case seems firm, no absolutes, yet much of it is in photos and videos, and still so much uncertainty. Strange.
Regarding that bullet that hit James Tague - I'm certainly no expert on guns or rifles, but was the conclusion that the bullet had ricocheted from somewhere else?Yes. The cop said it couldn't have been from his recording as he was further away at the time.
Another thing though; where do you think the bullet came from that sent a shard of concrete curb into James Tagues face?
Tagues was stood down on Commerce street with a cop. I cannot see how the shot that caused that could have come from the book depository.
