Title: Gorilla Lovelady - Roscoe White
Post by: Patrick Jackson on July 18, 2018, 09:09:02 PM
Before the Forum was hacked there was a good discussion about Gorilla Lovelady person and famous plaid shirt. Did Billy Nolan Lovelady really had that plaid shirt, is he the person on Altgens 6... Many questions without answers.
In my modest, armchair research I have reached the conclusion that the person seen on Martin/Hughes films, wearing red plaid shirt, later seen in DPD office when LHO was brought in, I think that person was Roscoe White.
Here is the time line:
This person first seen in Bronson film
(https://s26.postimg.cc/vqyi2ohsp/image.jpg)

He is standing here, in this area, in Hughes film
(https://s26.postimg.cc/wghaf30cp/image.jpg)

Than I see him in Dorman film
(https://s26.postimg.cc/4t4l102bd/image.jpg)

Than in Zapruder walking towards TSBD
(https://s26.postimg.cc/h91au5nrd/image.jpg)

He is standing on TSBD steps smoking a cigarette, seen in Martin/Hughes films
(https://s26.postimg.cc/l44oxb73d/image.jpg)

Thank he is here in Beers photo
(https://s26.postimg.cc/9f0p9c8ex/image.jpg)

And at 2PM he is in DPD office
(https://s26.postimg.cc/krdar2z3d/image.jpg)
(https://s26.postimg.cc/e0wthnjnd/image.jpg)

Here is Roscoe White and person known as Mark Lanes Lovelady
(https://s26.postimg.cc/rhts0j1op/image.jpg)

To me, Gorilla Lovelady is more like Roscoe White than BNL.
I am searching for more images of Gorilla Lovelady.

Hey, Patrick.  If Chita's cousin was indeed Officer, Roscoe White, he looks as stunned as everyone else.
I highly doubt he would have been involved.

Involved in what? In the assassination as he was claiming? I think he had nothing with the assassination, he simply was there and later tried to attract some attention to him, same as his son Ricky White in the 80s.

Roscoe White had a day off on 11/22/63.

Why do you think that every person anywhere near the TSBD that day wearing a plaid looking shirt is the same person?

No.

On the day of the assassination, Roscoe White was in training (had yet to even go through the Police Academy) and was assigned to assist members of the Dallas Police Crime Scene Search Section, who were investigating a home burglary in North Dallas.  The assignment took most of the morning and according to John Burton (one of White's training classmates and White's partner that particular morning), would have not allowed White to get to Dealey Plaza in time to take part in the assassination.

The figure on the steps in the Hughes film clip was nicknamed Gorilla Man because of his "unique" neck posture.

(http://i68.tinypic.com/260wo0o.jpg)

But others in the same clip had a similar "disorder".

Lovelady's neck posture varied. Subconsciously he may have straightened his overall posture for a formal photograph, and relaxed it for other photos.

Lower-right inset: neck relaxed

Therefore the neck posture is not reason enough to dismiss Lovelady as the man on the steps in the Hughes film clip.

Are you saying there were more persons wearing a plaid looking shirts? How many?

Take a better look. It is not plaid shirt only. On all photos beside plaid shirt, there is blue jeans, there is bold spot on the head, figure is similar, head is big, rounded.

When you consider all of that, your question would be: Why do you think that every person anywhere near TSBD that day wearing a plaid looking shirt, blue jeans looking trousers, bold spot looking hair, having round looking head is the same person?
I am sure you will admit your question does not have sense because there was only one person near TSBD wearing a plaid looking shirt. If you wind any other, please post and we will compare.

Interesting. Do you have any document on this?
If he was on training investigating burglary that would explain his presence in Homicide and Robbery Bureau, office 317 in DPD at 2PM.

Dale Myers 1996 interview with Dallas Police dispatch supervisor James Bowles.

In her interview for Texas monthly in December 1990 issue, Geneva White speaking about 11/22/63 stated: "But then he (Roscoe) came home around seven (PM), just like always." What shift would the be? First, second, were there shifts? If he spent the whole morning investigating burglary, his shift would be first? Or he went to his training on-call?

Don't you realize that pretty much every bit of Ricky White's claims were shown to be fraudulent and Geneva was in on it with him?  Once you realize this, then you should also realize that she can't be taken at her word in any interview.

Of course I know this. But the thing is are all her words fraudulent? Something must me true. She stated Roscoe came home at 7PM, just like always. Why would she lie about this? Not too important thing to lie about. If she lied about this, what would be the truth? Roscoe was working first shift coming home 4PM?

Have to search on Roscoe more.

The assignment (at the residential burglary site in North Dallas) took most of the morning and would not have allowed White to get to Dealey Plaza in time.  However, that is not to say that White was done working for the day once the assignment in North Dallas finished.

Here is a quote from JFK and the End of America book:
"White was not a real cop, but he was paid city employee in training to be a cop. So he had access to a police uniform, but he was not officially on assignment that day (11/22/63)."

Further down on the same page of a book there is a description that Beverly Oliver saw White on a grassy knol wearing uniform. So many misleading clues about White.

I don't understand the purpose of this discussion. Summarized, the hypothesis is:

a) Billy Lovelady and Gorilla Lovelady are two different individuals
b) Gorilla Lovelady is Officer-in-Training Roscoe White
c) Roscoe White was not involved in the assassination
d) the assassination was faked as per Patrick's previous hypothesis

Then why debate it? What are we trying to establish here?

The purpose is to prove it. To attract more researchers and try to find more photos of Roscoe White. Once we do this, we will prove that Billy Nolan Lovelady was not wearing that plaid shirt.

Suppose you can prove that Billy Lovelady was not wearing a plaid shirt. This will lead us to...where exactly?

You are a determined and persistent researcher Patrick, but sometimes I feel you are chasing windmills. No disrespect intended.

This would lead us to BNL not on Altgens 6, to BNL was forced to say he was wearing plaid shirt, BNL not being in DPD at 2PM... This would lead us to things not directly connected to Oswald and JFK but would help us understand what was going on.
I am not the only one chasing windmills here, am I? I have set my idea of fake assassination and trying to find proofs. Not to make proofs but find them.
The thing with Roscoe/Lovelady is that we still have less than 10 photos of them so you cannot prove anything. Same as other things.

I am not on this thread to prove anything Patrick. I was just curious about your motivations for starting this discussion.

In the OP you state that you believe Gorilla Lovelady might have been Roscoe White right?

Bill Brown has handed you a lead hasn't he? He says that White was on an assignment (the investigation of a burglary if I remember correctly) in another part of Dallas and nowhere near Dealey Plaza. That means there must be a report, or reports, of that investigation. There should be time sheets too.

Why don't you ask Bill for his sources? I think he said it was the Dale Myers book, perhaps he can look at the sources Myers used. If Bill is unable or unwilling to do so, you can ask Myers himself, he has his own website.

I think this line of enquiry is way much better then trying to find as many pictures as you can of White and Billy Lovelady. But it is up to you of course. Good luck with your research.

By writing "you" in my comment I did not mean you in particular but it should be better "one".

True, there should be reports, maybe they are still secret. I am searching through available docs but photos would be best, I am sure you will agree. Just imagine clear photo of Roscoe White in that plaid shirt somewhere in front of TSBD? Lots of Beers photos are missing for example and who knows what else.

There is a big difference between "thread" and "threads".

And... speaking of "word-game-du-jour"... you play the game when it suits you and abandon it when it does not (below):

I don't care.  I'm merely pointing out that 11 degrees off is not the "same direction".  Nor is 3 degrees off.  Same direction means zero degrees.

Stating "pretty sure" is bit strong since Betzner and Roscoe White(?) are seen together in several Z frames so it absolutely cannot be Betzner.

More games. You have posted hearsay as your source. It does NOT matter if you admit this or not as that is what your source is.

Bill claims that John Burton told Dale Myers that Roscoe White was on an assignment elsewhere that took most of the morning.  Not only is that a lot of levels of hearsay, it's incredibly vague.

I have spent a few hours looking for a document that supports the story that Roscoe White spent part of November 22nd 1963 investigating a burglary. I could not find such a document (report or something like that), which does not mean it doesn't exist. His personnel file is online, although some of the scans are real bad, hardly legible.

I think Ricky White's story, that his father was an assassin for a US intelligence agency with the codename 'Mandarin' who shot the President and killed officer Tippit is a hoax. A money making scheme. Outrageous what people do to make a buck.

You have NOT shown that White was in DP at the time of the assassination. End of story.

Is that how it works?

You have NOT shown that Oswald was in the sixth floor window shooting a rifle at the time of the assassination. End of story.

Harold Weisberg, former OSS/CIA intelligence operative, and a buddy of both the Dulles brothers. (Wonder how many people knew that?!?!) Foster was also a customer of Weisberg (Weisberg ran a large poultry farm literary on the site of the Pentagon).

A letter from Col.Fletcher Prouty to Harold Weisberg, dated 07/12/91

(Below -- the first letter: is to Prouty from Weisberg -- a reply to the 2nd letter from Prouty)
http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/P%20Disk/Prouty%20L%20Fletcher/Item%2032.pdf

The 10th paragraph in the letter Prouty mentions how Weisberg knew both the Dulles brothers socially.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/qn962b8x7/you_knew_the_Dulles_socially.png)

From another letter to Col.Prouty from Weisberg he mentions Foster Dulles' kitchen. about 4th paragraph in http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/P%20Disk/Prouty%20L%20Fletcher/Item%2038.pdf

(https://s15.postimg.cc/u5l5yzk6j/Dulles_1.png)

Not found any Weisberg admission of knowing both Dulles brothers. But it's kind of strange to me that a JFK researcher would also be friendly with them. Some of Weisberg's other letters to various people, one by the name of 'Ed' they discuss Prouty, and his book The Secret Team. Weisberg had Prouty on the radar for a long time before he struck up a correspondence friendship -- just before the JFK movie came out. Prouty had worked on the film. Weisberg allegedly leaked the 1st draft of the JFK movie script to George Lardner of the Washington Post. The 1st draft Weisberg handed over was used to discredit the film. 

Weisberg talking to someone called Ed in 1973 about Prouty. Prouty's book had came out around the time, and he was doing to the rounds discussing the JFK assassination, and Daniel Ellsberg/Pentagon Papers on network TV.

Interesting Weisberg was keeping tabs on Prouty since the 70s http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/P%20Disk/Prouty%20L%20Fletcher/Item%2039.pdf

Wonder if Weisberg was also a buddy of Ed Lansdale.

All of that doesn't dispel the hokey story given about the killing of Officer Tippit that White relays.

As for Ed Lansdale? Let's see some proof.

Max Boot wrote a book on Lansdale, "The Road Not Taken":


Article on Max Boot and his book on Lansdale: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/max-boot-resurrects-the-lansdale-legend/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Lansdale

Really, some of what the CTs say is just slander. By the way, Boot mentions this briefly in the video.

Some real evidence is needed.

And Boot, I don't really agree with a lot of what he says but he is seen as a major columnist nowadays, born in Moscow:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Boot
https://twitter.com/MaxBoot

Nothing to tie Lansdale to the JFK assassination except some picture of the back of a guy's head. Watch the video and find out more about Lansdale and then, contemplate, could he have been indeed involved?

Tippit wasn't alone when he was shot?  Right. Also, there is an airport named after one of the Dulles', Washington DC; Lansdale was in the CIA and a higher up, I guess, at some point he must have known the Dulles'. Another so-what?

at 1:33 of the video, above, a man asks the panel, including Fletcher Prouty, he asks ''I heard Mark Lane say, not only was George Bush director of the CIA, but as far back as 1963, and even beyond, he was a member of the CIA -- I would like any of the panelist to confirm what Mark Lane said based on what they know. And be specific." -- At which point John Judge chimes in with the story of the documents mentioning a George Bush of the CIA, one an FBI memo mentioning a G Bush of the CIA debriefing anti-Castro Cubans in Miami, the other document mentioned George Bush grassing on someone in the Republican party called Parrot. And lastly Judge mentions the ships used in the Bay Of Pigs raid, the ships, which he says directly link Bush to the CIA, due to the names of the ships - Zapata - Barbara - Houston.

Notice Col.Prouty doesn't say a word. In other instances, Prouty has revealed, during his role as the Chief of Clandestine Ops, he was the purchaser of those ships. That he supplied the CIA with the ships for the mission.

Quote
To Jeff Orr

RE: The names of the ships used in the Bay of Pigs operation that were named for the BUSH family.

I was asked to locate three transport vessels to support the Bay of Pigs landing.I was able to get them and sent them to a U.S. Navy base in North Carolina where they were prepared for that operation. In the process they were painted and then given the names: HOUSTON, ZAPATA,and BARBABA. The name Houston was where Bush's business was. Zapata was trhe name of his oil company. Barbra was the name of his wife. Whoever selected those names certainly knew Geroge Bush in 1960.

L. Fletcher Prouty 

Here (below) is a reply from Col.Prouty to a question asked on his own website's letters section re Bush/CIA -- https://www.prouty.org/email.html


So of all the people in the room you might think, Col.Prouty, his role as CIA liaison officer at the Pentagon, Chief of special ops/Clandestine ops, he had knowledge of Bush being, whether real, or not,in the CIA prior to his role as Director in the mid 70s.

the Houston sinking

(https://s15.postimg.cc/us2m8ho1n/sinking-of-the-houston-after-bombardment-by-castro-s-airforce-ba.jpg)

So why didn't Col.Prouty come forth with the information at this televised debate, but was forthcoming and open and honest on his website in the late 90s re his strange dealings with the CIA/possibly Bush.Why wasn't it deemed worthy of public knowledge then, when Bush Snr was a public servant still running for President. I can see there might have been deniability built into the mission and Prouty never knew of Bush Sr's involvement, but really, I doubt it. Prouty taught Bush Snr at Yale.

These, supposedly, ex CIA/OSS operatives, are tricky customers. They're always going to be loyal to the CIA/IC community, to their comrades. Always skirting with the truths, if asked a direct question, or like Prouty, prepared to keep their mouth shut when in position to shed light upon the situation at hand. Prouty was shown the Tramps photos by Sprague, he much later on revealed to immediately noticed Lansdale - he noticed it was Lansdale but said nothing to Sprague. Prouty told only two people connected with JFK research that he'd spotted Landale in the tramp photo, Mae Brussell, and Jim Garrison. Prouty waited until 1985 to send out the tramp photo to various people who knew Lansdale to ID him.The letter from Krulak identifying Lansdale is dated 1985, Lansdale died in 1987.

(https://s15.postimg.cc/bo9arwb4r/krulak_letter.jpg)

I've been following (not too creepily) Max Boot and what he's said about Lansdale. I noted he praised Gen.Krulak, but fails to mention Krulak also identified Lansdale from the tramp photo. Maybe he doesn't know?

See, even before I came to this forum, I found a number of things Prouty said had been debunked. I read that elsewhere, even though MacAdams has his essays on it, why just cut and paste what MacAdams wrote?

I do know, just two Fridays ago, I heard Jesse Venture in an interview with 830 WCCO ( https://wccoradio.radio.com/ ) say, "well, the Bay of Pigs had a ship called the Barbara", http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/prouty.htm  But MacAdams writes, that ship was the "Barbara J.", Barbara Bush was Barbara Pierce, her wikipedia bio lists no middle name.  So, I know some of this has been covered. Ventura seems to be a good man as well. That is not to say, all of what he says is always conclusive.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Bush  WCCO archives many of their interviews but I do not know for how long.  Many radio stations archive but just for a short time. Jesse had a lot of things to say and on balance, I'd say good things.

Lansdale and his big class ring... on the left finger, okay, I'll give you that the pictures of him as an older man might have seen him remove it for some reason but I see just as much of a case for all photos put together, that there was not a conspicuously large class ring. Having said that, we need more pictures.

Nothing to be seen here, one could argue that the ring finger of the left hand is visible but not the ring:

This is as good as I've got to seeing Lansdale wearing a 'big class ring' and it's pretty poor. I took a screenshot from Oliver Stones Untold History series. This flashed up on the screen and I spotted the ring. It's just about visible. I'd guess Lansdale is in his twenties in this pic.

You're a slippery one. You posted your hearsay as a source without ever saying that it was hearsay. When I told Joffrey you admitted that it was I simply gave you too much credit (and I have said this multiple times) as an honest person would have, but you had not up to the point. You continued to push your hearsay as evidence. You're dishonest.

Eventually you did admit it as it has been posted before. It doesn't matter what you say as you lie constantly. The bottom line is you dishonestly posted years later hearsay as evidence for showing that Roscoe White was not in DP at the time of the assassination WITHOUT stipulating that this was hearsay.

Take your games and move on.

Facebook is trying to stop people from stealing users? profile pictures.

On Wednesday, the social network announced new tools designed to protect people?s images from theft ? preventing others from downloading them or even screenshotting the images.

If you?ve never had your profile picture stolen ? lucky you. But it?s a serious problem, with fraudsters, trolls, and scammers often stealing the identity of others by harvesting the info they list publicly on Facebook.

Sometimes, The Independent reported earlier this year, the thieves even build false profiles then approach victims? friends in order to scam them.

Gentleman, let me try to lead you away from your discussion and ask a very important question:
What do you think, where and how did Roscoe White wife, Geneva Dees got the Oswald back yard photo, CE 133-C. She presented this photo in 1976 but where did she got it?
Is there a chance, Roscoe White joined DPD officers on 11/22/63 and went to either Oswald rooming house at 1026 N. Beckley, Oak Cliff or Ruth Peine home 2515 W. 5th Street, Irving?
Is there a chance Roscoe went to one of the addresses as part of DPD team and misused the opportunity and took, stole one photo for him?
What are other possibilities on how Geneva had this photo?
Thank you.
