SURPLUS CARCANO MODEL 91 TS RIFLE 6.5X52MM - USED SURPLUS CONDITION

[Richard Smith]

There was no forgery.....

Then what does this mean:  "Therefore when he created the Hidell card he was very careful that the card didn't even resemble a real draft card."

[John Iacoletti]

In which the absurd claim is made once again that the evidence of Oswald's guilt is so overwhelming that we must conclude he is innocent.

What's absurd is "Richard Smith" has unleashed yet another strawman.

  Why would Oswald retain his Hidell ID that links him to the rifle?  LOL.  Maybe he was an idiot.  Lots of criminals do dumb things that result in their arrest and conviction.

And why would Oswald conceal a rifle in a homemade bag that he somehow constructed at work in advance and smuggled home from work without anybody noticing?  Because he was clever enough to cover his tracks.  Whatever it takes.

So as a evidentiary matter, even if Oswald gets rid of the Hidell SS card, he is still linked to the alias used to purchase the rifle.

Linked how?  Oh yeah:  unscientific and biased handwriting "analysis" of two block letters on a photo of a microfilm copy of a two-inch order coupon from microfilm that is "missing".

  The rifle that was mailed to his PO Box

Which you still have yet to provide any evidence of.

and ends up at his place of employment with his prints on that rifle.

No matter how many times you keep bleating "his prints on that rifle", that doesn't make it true.  The truth is that there were prints near the trigger guard area that were insufficient for identification purposes, and a single partial palmprint showed up a week later on an index card.  This is why you are known as Lying "Richard".

  It's a slam dunk of guilt.

So you keep claiming.

  Even with the invention of the contrarian time machine, it would be difficult to figure out how there could be much more evidence to link Oswald to this crime.

It doesn't take any imagination at all to think up much better possible evidence.  Too bad you don't have some.

Walt probably disagrees, but there is no evidence whatsoever that Lee Oswald made the Hidell selective service card.

Yes, I do believe that Lee created the silly rendition of a draft card.....   

I don't know WHY... But possibly he might have thought that he might need to show some ID that he was AJ Hidell, of the Fair Play For Cuba Committee, before he'd be allowed to pick up any mail from the FPFCC headquarters in NY.

I'm still not following your logic that Oswald intentionally made a bad forgery of the card.

Simple....  Lee had used the name AJ Hidell as the president of the New Orleans chapter of the FPFCC ....

New York headquarters would very likely have wanted to know who they were dealing with in New Orleans....( A highly unlikely place to establish a FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE )    Thus they probably would send any material by registered mail...and that would require an Identification and a signature at the PO.   Lee created that silly rendition of a "draft card" to identify himself as AJ Hidell.

Just because the FPCC card had "AJ Hidell" on it doesn't mean that Lee was using that as a name for himself and it didn't refer to somebody else.
