JFK Assassination Forum

Old Joe is apparently now going to sign an executive order just before the upcoming debate reinstating many of the Trump border policies which he had previously claimed were racist.  You can't make that up.  Too little, and way too late.  Ten million illegals have entered the country.  Is this because he has suddenly seen the light and is acknowledging that Trump was right?  Of course not.  His open border policy is hurting him in the polls.  He also lectured Trump on taking issue with the legal system by claiming it was political.  Is this the same line Old Joe will take when his son Dirty Hunter is placed on trial next week for numerous felonies? 

It doesn't take that long to stop. Most people can go from a run to a stop in 2 or 3 steps. She may have been slowing because the President's car was pulling away and she could not longer keep up to it.  Besides, she said that when she heard the first shot she stopped and looked back at the TSBD and saw pigeons flying away from the roof. She stops at z199.  She was not turned looking at the TSBD until z204. She then turns sharply back toward the TSBD at z204-207. Pigeons didn't wait 5 seconds to take flight after hearing the shot.

Most people can go from a run to a stop in 2 or 3 steps? I don't know about most people but I can't without the assistance of a side of a building. Like Wily Coyote style.

I remember that John Madden said the very best NFL cornerbacks could start to react, not stop but start to react, in one or two steps, a more typical NFL cornerback in two steps and a good college cornerback who fails to make the cut in the NFL might need three or even 4 steps.

Certainly 1.5 seconds does not sound like an unreasonable amount of time for a child to go from a run to a stop, like from z163 to z190.

They read the conspiracy books and get drunk on all of this history about the CIA and Operation Northwoods and Guatemala and intrigue and spying and military industrial complex and Allan Dulles. So they have to interpret the assassination through that view, through that history. It's the only way for them it makes sense. The nut with the umbrella is not a nut with an umbrella; no, he's signalling the sniper teams. Secret teams and CIA and spies and coverups and Cold War intrigue and....they can't resist it.

It's the Jim Garrison view. We can't reason with it.

LHO wrote the letter to the Russian Embassy saying he was there. But he lied to the investigators in DPD about it. This was just another one of LHO’s compulsive lies. His brother Robert said he despised LEOs and liked to try to show that he could “outsmart” them. I suspect LHO was just lying to mess with them, or at least to not cooperate with them.

Yes, one of the interesting parts of this matter is how he behaved, what he told the Soviets and Cubans, what he planned to do. If the Cubans give him that visa then he's gone, he's off to Havana to build a new life. How do the conspirators frame him then? All of their efforts are gone, he's in Cuba. How would they know he wouldn't be able to get that transit visa?

This is another example of the long list of things the so-called conspirators simply couldn't control, couldn't manage. From where Oswald was at the time of the shooting to this and everything in between the ability of these conspirators was limited. In conspiracy world there simply seems to be no limits to what they could do: fake films and photos that fool experts 60 years later, order people to commit crimes and have them remain silent for the rest of their lives and on and on.

It's been more than half a century and over that time multiple generations of Americans in government and outside have looked into this tragedy. There's no there there. As Robert Oswald said, "Asking questions is good, it's right. But after the tenth time, the twentieth, enough already."
