I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak (new book)

[Rob Caprio]

No.

Why the double standard?

Why the double standard?

What double standard?

Edit: I meant no, you aren't right, not no I have no problem supporting speculation by the WC. So no double standards.

The issue of two Oswalds goes way back before John Armstrong. How do you explain all the discrepancies in LHO's height and eye color?

I don't explain every discrepancy. Professional investigators (police, FBI) know that in any case there will be anomalies. In a case with millions of pieces of information like the JFK case, there are probably thousands of things that are "outliers." Completely normal.

Of course I can. That is why I wrote a book! I don't think I want to post 272 pages
on this forum.

So you're just marketing here then.

I don't think I want to shell out 17 bucks and wade through 272 pages of "the WC and HSCA concluded....".  We can read thousands of pages of that right here.

Well, the Kindle version is only $9.99. But there is more to it than quotes from the WC and HSCA. It is a great story and an intellectual journey.

So you are saying that you do NOT support the WC's conclusion?

Yeah, except these anomalies occurred in official documents. So this is nomal?

Whether you buy into the ?two Oswald? theory or not you have to admit something strange was going on when you read the various documents in the twenty-six volumes of exhibits the Warren Commission (WC) gave us.

Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) had a constantly changing height.  On his Marine Corps paperwork he is listed as 5?11?. On his Albert Schweitzer College application he is listed as 5?11?.  In a July 1962 FBI interview by agent John Fain he is listed as 5?11? (CE-823 p. 730). His Selective Service card listed his height as 5?11?. On his 1959 (CE-1114) and 1963 (Cadigan ex. 10) passport applications he is listed a 5?11?. But, on his Texas Employment Commission application; Texas Driver License application (CE-426) and on the autopsy report he is listed as 5?9?.  Something does NOT add up here. Either you are 5?9? or 5?11?, but you can?t be BOTH.

The story of his eyes is even more bizarre. On his USMC fingerprint card (CE-635) his eyes are listed as hazel. On his Selective Service classification (CE-796, 797) his eyes are listed as grey.

(As a side note, can any WC defender show me a 1963 era Selective Service Card with a PICTURE on it? I have read that in 1963 there was NO picture attached so I am wondering why LHO has one.)

Also in a July 1962 FBI report by agent John Fain (CE-823 p. 731); his passport applications for 1959 (CE-1114) and 1963 (Cadigan  ex. 10) his eyes are listed as grey.

On his subsequent Selective Service Card (CE-1944 p. 743) his eyes have become blue. Also in a May 1962 FBI report by the SAME John Fain (CE-821, p. 706) his eyes are listed as blue!  Two months later they would become grey! He would also CUT THE DIFFERENCE in height and make LHO 5?10?!

If you look at an Immigration and Naturalization Service document from the State Department (CE-980, p. 388) you will see LHO?s eyes are again listed as blue.  Ditto the third height for him ? 5?10?. In a October 31, 1963, FBI report (CE- 826, p. 762) Milton Kaack lists LHO?s eyes as BLUE-HAZEL!

If we look at the USMC health record of LHO we will get another combination of his previous eye colors. In the Donabedian exhibit 1 (19H 584) you will see the color grey mentioned, but if you go to another page (19H 615) you will see the color blue listed in the SAME HEALTH RECORD! What caused this?

Finally, we get another color from journalist Aline Mosby who interviewed LHO in Russia.  If you go to CE-1385, p. 702 you will see her comment, ?As he spoke he held his mouth stiffly and nearly closed. His jaw was rigid. Behind his BROWN EYES I felt a certain coolness.? (Emphasis added)

Oh boy, NOW we have a ?brown eye boy!?

Why did the WC NOT investigate any of this to see what was going on? Surely this many variations cannot be simply chalked up to error.

These statements sink the WC?s conclusion because they open the door for the possibility of others (or one other) portraying LHO.  There is much more too.

Sure.
