Prayer Woman

[Alan Ford]

Friends, the hostility of Lone Nutters to Prayer Man is understandable. This thing is a religion to them, and they will not give up their faith without a fight.

The hostility----------and that's what it is-----------of so many Warren Critics is more puzzling, though not wholly incomprehensible.

I think they split into three groups

-------------Those unfamiliar with the details of the theory who just lazily and haughtily assume it has no more merit than the LHO-in-Altgens nonsense that long plagued JFK research
-------------Those for whom this case is such a longtime hobby that they do not want to see it solved------------the anti-climax would be too great!
-------------Those who pinned their colors to the anti-PM=LHO mast, do not want to admit they got it wrong and are jealous of those who got it right (O vanitas vanitatum!)

Since the Hosty note revelation, all three groups have one thing in common: they are saying flat out that Mr Oswald lied about his whereabouts and that Captain Fritz & Co.'s astonishingly brazen suppression of his lie is of no evidentiary significance.

They would rather adopt a cover-up mentality than embrace the truly wonderful fact that this case has been blown wide open. Sad!

[Alan Ford]

As soon as it became known to Curry & Co. just how soon after the shooting that officer (Marrion L. Baker) had rushed into the building, the line changed rather dramatically:

One of our officers saw Oswald with some others in a lunchroom on the second floor.

Not bad for a first draft of a fiction!

    Why Not Stop defaming people and simply make your case?  It is difficult to follow the point(s) you are attempting to make when you repeatedly go off on these defamatory tangents. This serves no purpose other than to divert from the point you are making.  You completely lose your audience when you maniacally go off topic.

To me, the white in the picture appears to possibly be a reflection from a flash attachment on a camera. Some of the flash units in those days had plastic light diffusers over the actual bulb that would have appeared white if sunlight was reflecting off of them. I used to own a flash attachment that was just like that.  The movement also appears to be the action of someone about to take a picture, moving the camera up to their face to look thru the viewer. So, did LHO have a camera with him at work on 11/22/63? We do know he owned a camera. Or, this could just be a photographer from the press. Or, just an ordinary citizen with a camera who went up on the steps to get a better vantage point for his/her camera. At any rate, I believe the "white" is some sort of sunlight reflection.

Mr Nason, the light-colored object is raised not to Prayer Man's eyes but to his mouth!

        The White Shape remains consistent as the arm moves from roughly a stomach level to face level. The Sun's Reflection should be varying as this item is in motion. Whatever we are seeing does Not vary. If that is the sun reflecting off of something at the level of the face, we should also be seeing the Sun illuminating at least a portion of the body at some point from the stomach to the facial flesh tones. There also are no apparent signs of the sun Anywhere in that small DARK area. I believe if the Sun was penetrating through that Very DARK area, it would be apparent.

I suppose it has been advanced that Prayer Person was just someone who was not anyone in the TSBD personnel?
But if so..why did they not ever come forward? Apparently, Lee Oswald was someone new there and was really quite 'un-noticable'.
Or, why didn't someone ever claim that he was there on the steps? But even if he wasn't, it doesn't necessarily mean that he was on the sixth floor.
