The Book Depository as a Potemkin Village

[Dan O'meara]

I believe that the shots came from the front ,...Just as the first reports said...

Over 160 witnesses heard three shots ring out.
If, as you believe, these shots came from the front, how was anyone supposed to believe they came from the TSBD.
What kind of "set-up" is that?
Surely the set-up would have to make people believe the shots came from the TSBD. How could they frame Oswald otherwise?

[Bill Chapman]

How retarded do you have to be before you can't use a rifle?

More a case of being able to follow orders with precision.

Tell us what would motivate someone to use the autistic Jack Dougherty as an assassin in the first place. Or even a deranged loser like Oswald. Or yet another deranged loser in the person of one Jack Ruby.

A majority of the witnesses said that the first explosion sounded different then the next two explosions.....Many of the witnesses thought that the first explosion sounded like a motor vehicle backfire or a large firecracker.  I believe the sound they heard was in fact a "firecracker" which was the signal to the snipers that LBJ had signaled the team leader "open fire". 

Surely the set-up would have to make people believe the shots came from the TSBD. How could they frame Oswald otherwise?   

For at least five minutes after the shooting, 99% of the witnesses thought the shots had come from the GK.  Virtually nobody thought the shots had came from the TSBD.   This is a good example of people caving in to authority....  The police started reporting that they had found a "Sniper's Nest" ( an inflammatory description) shots had been fired from a "Snipers Nest" on the sixth floor of the TSBD...And thus the people who had heard the shots simply caved in and thought that they were mistaken, and went along with the police.   ( read Orville Nix's account for a classic example of a witness who trusted the police more than he trusted his own good sense.)

Did LBJ throw the firecracker himself or did he signal someone else to throw the firecracker?
Do we know what the signal was?
Maybe LBJ's signal was a firecracker that signalled the firecracker to be thrown to signal is was time to get to shootin'.

Almost everyone in the building at the time of the shooting thought the shots came from inside the building but maybe these witnesses were futuristic cyborg manchurian candidates programmed to regurgitate the official line.
It's my opinion that if you wanted to set up someone firing from the TSBD you would have someone firing from the TSBD but I'm old-fashioned.

Do you think the hit team would have proceeded if they weren't 100%  sure that LBJ had their back?

This has got nothing to do with what we're talking about.
The probability is that whoever did this were "foot soldiers", completely ignorant about where their orders were ultimately coming from.
They most certainly had nothing to do with LBJ.

We're talking about setting up someone for the shooting.
The storyline of the set up is that the shooter is an employee of the TSBD and is taking the shots from the TSBD.
How is this set up going to work if people are firing from anywhere other than the TSBD?

Dan, Ol man,.... I appreciate a person's reluctance to believe the obvious and reject that which is right in front of them.  ( I think of it as akin to accepting the truth that a person's mother was one of Charlie Manson's whores, and that person's father was Charlie Manson.    There are very few people who could accept that kind of harsh reality. So their only recourse is to deny, the truth.
