Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

[Dan O'meara]

The Weaver photo shows how easy it would have been for Officer Baker to keep going north on Houston and park his bike right by the TSBD or Dal-Tex. No thick line of spectators; no danger of causing anyone injury



Why didn't he just do that? Why did he instead lose precious seconds by going around the corner onto Elm?

Here's the explanation he gave the WC:

"Well, I immediately revved that motorcycle up and was going up there to see if I could help anybody or see what was going on because I couldn't see around this bend."

OK, that does make sense.

But it indicates that his decision to stop his bike and get off was not made until he had take the corner from Houston onto Elm. And it may well be that what finally prompted him to do so was the sight of the woman we see him running towards in Darnell.

If Darnell showed us nothing but mailboxes in the area to which Officer Baker is running, then his action in sprinting towards there would be perplexing. But Darnell shows us something of great interest in that place, and thus explains exactly why he's running that way:



This woman and what she was drawing attention to had to be completely written out of the story afterwards, of course. Officer Baker had to pretend he ran straight from his bike to the front steps. Because what that woman saw and drew attention to in the seconds after the shooting, if known, would have all on its own destroyed the case against Mr. Oswald as the sixth-floor shooter.

So now you're saying that Baker didn't notice Bag Lady as he was running towards the steps - he noticed her while he was still on his bike??


Because what that woman saw and drew attention to in the seconds after the shooting, if known, would have all on its own destroyed the case against Mr. Oswald as the sixth-floor shooter.

Please explain why this lady pointing out a bag and a banner would've destroyed the case against Oswald.

this woman on the landing is not Mr. Oswald:



(Nor------------not that it greatly matters at this stage-------------is she Mrs. Sarah Stanton. She's probably Mrs. Pauline Sanders.)

How can we tell the Prayer Man folks know deep down their continued pressing of the LHO=PM claim is an error? They never, ever talk about this frame:



It's as though it doesn't exist!

Once they get beyond the denial stage of grief, they will realize that the at-the-time-extremely-promising Prayer Man theory LED TO the correct Oswald-Out-Front solution:



And they will take legitimate pride in the part they played in getting us to that solution

[Alan Ford]

So now you're saying [...]

Poor Mr. O'Meara is triggered again ~Grin~

The Prayer Man people think the reason why NBC won't allow access to the original Darnell film in their archives is that they don't want us to see that Prayer Man is Mr. Oswald. An understandable conclusion to draw, but an erroneous one. No-------------------publication of the original Darnell film would only confirm that Prayer Man is a woman, something NBC would be only too happy to help with.

The real bombshell in Darnell, and the real reason we'll never get to see the original, is here:



No way are they going to let us see a pristine image of this long bag.

But the cat bag is out of the bag! It has finally been noticed, and can't be un-noticed

       You're omitting that Baker heard the shots and saw pigeons flying from the top of the TSBD. Baker immediately thought that the shots were probably fired from within the TSBD. He had what he allegedly thought was probably an active shooter inside the TSBD. Baker should have made a straight line toward the TSBD, whether that ended at the steps leading to the front door or alongside the building across from the Dal Tex Bld. 1st responders are heralded for running TOWARD/INTO the fire. Baker electing to ride around the corner and then run on foot toward/into the TSBD reveals the level of danger that he really thought might have been inside the TSBD. And do Not forget that law enforcement was letting employees of the TSBD back inside the building immediately following the Kill Shot. How dangerous can this scene be when Joe 6 Packs are being permitted to freely/unaccompanied come back inside the building mere minutes after the Kill Shot? All law enforcement did was focus the attention on the TSBD and away from the grassy knoll/parking lot/train yard. Mission Accomplished here.

And are you insinuating that he was part of the conspiracy? If so, count me out!

   Depends at what point following the assassination your "conspiracy" is referring to. A person's story/testimony can be "massaged" into many different versions to fit whatever the desired narrative might be. You do Know that they did 3 "walk through's" with Baker prior to his WC Testimony? These "walk through's" included the motorcycle riding, running into the TSBD, etc. By the time Baker gave his WC Testimony, he was like an actor inna stage play. He knew where his "marks" were, he had his lines down to a T. The Baker WC Testimony was a farce. His LIVE actions, (or lack thereof), on 11/22/63 reveal far more than his rehearsed/canned WC testimony.
