BWF and LMR may not have been the only ones who saw LHO with a bag on 11/22/1963

Didn't the FBI confirm that Day's palmprint of Oswald shared a number of random identical rifle marks and scratches, meaning that at some stage Oswald handled the rifle?

Since we know the lift was placed on a 3 inch by 5 inch index card ...we can use that 3 inch wide card as a scale.....to A) find the size of the scotch tape that Day used to perform the lift, and B) we can find the distance between the two parallel lines ....

The scotch tape was 1 inch wide and the distance between the edges of the bayonet slot is 3mm ....

The bayonet slot on my model 91/38 measures 4mm across......

How do we know this?

How do we know this?

Somewhere the card is identified as a 3 X 5 index card.....Perhaps in the FBI report.... I don't remember..... But isn't  3X 5 the standard size for index cards?

It should be obvious that there was a reason that Rankin wanted documents ( Letters from Truly and Hoover) stating that no curtain rods had been found IN IN   ( INSIDE)  the TSBD after November 22 1963.   

What had happened that precipitated Rankin's action of writing to Hoover to request the the FBI interview Roy Truly concerning curtain rods?   Why did Agent Howlett take two curtain rods to the DPD in March of 1964 and request that the DPD ( Detective Day)  check to see if Lee Oswald's prints were on those curtain rods??  ......And WHY? did  Day and Howlett try to make it appear that the curtain rods had come from Ruth Paines garage??

The answer to those questions reveals that the authorities were aware that a couple of curtain rods had been found in or around the TSBD .....   And whoever found them needed to be convinced that the curtain rods had no connection to Lee Oswald.....

Perhaps some of you struggle with the fact that it's obvious that the authorities were the conspirators.....  And you simply can't accept the obvious, so you struggle to find alternative explanations.....   Ockham's razor should be applied .....

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr Crow! 

"In order to establish that no curtain rods were found in the Texas School Book Depository Building..."
----------------as opposed to:
"In order to establish whether any curtain rods were found in the Texas School Book Depository Building..."

I.e. Let's close this thing down!

Remember, this is the same Mr Rankin who wrote the below on 16 March, the day after 2 curtain rods were submitted to the crime lab to check for Mr Oswald's prints...

The way it appears to me....(IMO) ...  Rankin and Hoover, and others KNEW that curtain rods had been found in a place that Lee Oswald could have had access to in or near the TSBD.   They knew that those curtain rods could verify Buell Frazier's  statement that Lee had told him that he had curtain rods in the FLIMSY light weight paper sack.   

I don't believe it's necessary to illustrate WHY? the authorities would NOT want the discovery of curtain rods in or near the TSBD to become known to the public....Thus the official documents that basically deny that any curtain rods were found in any place that Lee Oswald would have had access to that morning.

I don't know what it's going to take to convince some folks that it was the authorities that who were conspiring to blame the murder of President Kennedy on a dead Lee Oswald.
