Nothing seems to have changed

[John Corbett]

I was a regular contributor on John McAdams discussion group until his untimely death a few years ago. With his passing, that effectively killed that group because I believe he was the sole moderator left and there was no one who could approve new posts.

The debate of conspiracy doesn't seem to have changed much. Much of the discussion is about some of the same points that were being made when I first started debating this topic online shortly after the release of Oliver Stone's movie. If anything, the focus seems to have shifted to the minutia since no one seems to be able to point to any hard evidence that anyone except Oswald took part in the crime.

The body of evidence is like a carcass that has been picked clean. After over 62 years, two things remain the same. ALL the forensic evidence points to Lee Harvery Oswald as the assassin and there isn't a scrap of credible evidence that he had any co-conspirators. Most Americans put the assassination in their rearview mirror years ago and no longer care about it if they ever did at all. I'm sure the JFK assassination means as much to the millennials and the Gen-Zers as the McKinley assassination means to baby boomers like me. It is something that happened a long time ago that they read about in their history books. In fact, there is about as much time between the McKinley and JFK assassinations as there is between the JFK assassination and the present. Continued "investigation" of the crime has become nothing more than a niche hobby engaged in mostly by old geezers like me and nothing of significance is going to come of it. Oswald will go down in history as the sole assassin of JFK and no one will ever be identified as a co-conspirator. Attempts to prove there was a conspiracy remain a fool's errand. Nothing is going to come of it.

  I totally disagree. I have discovered a car moving down the Elm St Ext at the same time that shots were being fired at JFK. This car is NOT on the Wiegman Film. Roughly 20 seconds later this car IS on the Couch and Darnell Films. This is NOT "minutia". It is Brand New!
  I have also proven that the Darnell and Martin Films do Not show Officer Haygood inside the Railroad Yard. The DPD motorcycle cop filmed with DPD Officer Harkness on the Darnell film is not Officer Haygood. The time stamping of these 2 DPD Cops being filmed together is alleged to be Before 12:35. Officer Haygood made a documented 12:35 police radio transmission from his motorcycle parked at the Elm St curb. DPD Officer Harkness made a documented 12:36 police radio transmission that he was transporting eyewitness Amos Euins to the TSBD. The timelines of Officer Haygood and Officer Harkness make it impossible for them to be filmed together on the Darnell film before 12:35. This is not "minutia". It is Brand New!

Which way was the car moving at the time of the shots - from east to west or west to east?

   The car was moving down the Elm St Extension toward the TSBD. This car is not on the Wiegman Film. Roughly 20 seconds later, you can see Officer Baker running past the front headlight of this car on the Couch and Darnell films. The car was Not there when Wiegman filmed this area.

John, I've long been a fan of your JFK-related online posts and welcome you back to the discussion, notwithstanding Royell Storing's absurd, multi-thread claims about the Dealey Plaza film and photo record being faked.

Is this the white car, behind the tree, you're talking about?

Had that car not been parked there during the shooting itself? It looks like its parked up for a while there.

JC:

I agree about the JFKA receding into the past, and surely the age of various JFKA researchers is...well, grey hair or bald heads and more than a few passings of late. Some senility seeping into conversations at Ed Forum.

No one has ever even come close to establishing real boots on the ground in Dallas, real identities, if LHO had any co-conspirators, or manipulators in Dallas on 11/22. There is some plausible speculation and much implausible speculation.

Even worse, in desperation to stay relevant, some JFKA researchers are hopping onto current bandwagons, such as Jeff Morley defecating on himself and dog-whistling to Tucker Carlson that "Mossad" played a role in the JFKA.

All that said, my layman's analysis of the Z-film is Gov. JBC is shot at ~Z-295 and JFK at Z-313. JBC testified he was "knocked forward" by the blow to his back, that happens is about one second apart, or in too-rapid succession to have been accomplished by a lone gunsel armed with a M-C carbine.

Connally: I was knocked over, just doubled over by the force of the bullet. It went in my back and came out my chest about two inches below and the left of my right nipple. The force of the bullet drove my body over almost double and when I looked, immediately I could see I was just drenched with blood. (1 HSCA 42)

Clear as day, that happens ~Z-295.

I am open to participation in the JFKA by elements of Alpha-66, G2, or JMWAVE.

I place very low probability on much higher levels of participation in the JFKA.
