The Dead-Letter Package

[Alan Ford]

It obviously wasn't treated as just another postal item since you are going on and on and on about it nearly 60 years later.  It was one package among the Dallas mail that was noted after the assassination because someone wrote Oswald's name on it.

It's precisely because it was NOT noticed that it got consigned to the Nixie section in the first place. This dates its mailing securely to the pre-assassination period

You don't know when it was mailed, who mailed it or what purpose it served.  Instead you just repeat baseless assumptions as facts.  That doesn't even get into the logical inconsistencies of suggesting on the one hand that the Dallas authorities were involved in the framing of Oswald, with the suggestion that they brought to light a package that demonstrates foreknowledge of the motorcade route instead of just tossing it.

They didn't bring the package to light, someone who found it in the Nixie section did. The FBI did little or nothing to follow up on this lead. And the Warren Commission didn't even mention it.

What else ya got, Mr Smith?

No, it doesn't even if you repeat it over and over.  You are simply making a baseless assumption.  There is no indication as to when it was mailed.

So the best you can muster, Mr Smith, is a reiteration of your commitment to the absurd view that it is realistic to think that a parcel addressed to "Lee Oswald" after the assassination would be treated as just another regular postal item because that particular name wouldn't have triggered recognition in Dallas postal workers. Got it!

"Received in bad condition at"...



Question! Would a package that had a non-existent address get stamped this way?

Remember what the report I posted in Reply #2 said about the function of the dead-letter office:

"The 'Nixie' section has been described as the section in which mail and parcels are placed when such mail and/or parcels contain a non-existent or unlocated address or when the mail or parcels have been damaged in transit."

This in turn gives rise to further questions..................

How in the heck did someone know to write "Irving, Texas" below the address label (crossing out "Dallas" on the label) and direct this parcel to the Irving post office?

Does it not look rather as though this parcel was not directed to the Irving post office (from the Dallas post office) but in fact arrived there originally------------in bad condition?

Debating anything about the parcel is simply a waste of time and effort, a distraction and,  an excellent example of an exercise in futility

As opposed to the red rings on the TSBD windows?

You're obsessed with those red rings, aren't you Mr "Smith"....  You'd like to keep them under the rug and ignored, wouldn't you Mr "Smith" ?....    But you're too stupid to understand that the best way to keep those red rings out of the limelight is by simply ignoring them.  But I'm more than happy to reveal that you're simply desperate to make it appear that those red rings had a innocuous purpose..... But all you're silly explanations fall short of explaining the reason for those red rings being stuck to the windows of the TSBD.
