JFK Assassination Forum

Cool! No one will believe this, but I had an epiphany of sorts when I was only about 5 years old. I was fascinated by death, or perhaps "What is life?" I would hold little funerals for dead birds and lizards and whatnot and wonder "So what's the difference between this and what it was an hour ago?" Standing in my parents' gravel driveway, I had an epiphany out of nowhere: "Electricity! Life is fundamentally electrical, and what survives is electrical." 71 years later, and far more sophisticated in my thinking, I still think somewhat along those lines.

When I was maybe 55, I had a dream in which the name "Lynne McTaggert" kept appearing. I had no clue who LM was - she could have been an obscure WNBA basketball player for all I knew. So I Googled her name and discovered she is the author of The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe, which is very much along the lines of my epiphany as a toddler!

Me myself i looked more closely into the jfk saga say 4 years ago, koz i needed a holiday from silly Einsteinian faux science.
I am glad that i did senior education. Koz nowadays it givs me much satisfaction being able to cross swords with ignorant Einsteinists.
I did my fair share of trout fishing, tennis, billiards, hang gliding, gliding, golf, etc.
Instead of applying for a newly created senior position made just for me, i resigned, & i mooved to a junior position in a different field.
Jobs should not dictate your life. Other things are more important in the long run. Life iz short.
Today i hav kangaroos & wallabies & echidnas & blue tongued lizards & a dozen kinds of birds around my house.
A few years ago there were 2 sightings of a Tasmanian Tiger in the bush behind my place.
8 years ago i had 3 horses 3 dogs & my wife, now all gone.
Nowadays every day iz a gift.

I’ve looked at some more of the Z-film frame by frame using the Costella edit which includes the area between the sprockets, and I’ve discovered that at Z212 2 SS agents beside and across from Clint Hill are still visible and they are looking forward.

You cannot see the agents on the right running board (i.e. across from Clint Hill) in z212.  Those agents are Jack Ready (right front) and Paul Landis (right rear).  The last frame in which they are visible is z207.  Ready said that he turned to his right upon hearing the first shot.  In order to do that he had to remove his right hand from the front hand-hold.  He did that between z198 and z200 and turned to his right:

Up to Z230, the SS agent behind Clint Hill is visible and at Z230 this agent is still looking forward.

That is SA McIntyre and he is looking much more to the left at z230 than he was in z193. In fact he is looking left before z206. 

Should there not have been some Clint Hill reaction from Z190-Z230 even if he was tasked with keeping his eyes focused on JFK?

He was watching events happening in the car.  He may have been thinking about whether he could make it to the President's car if he jumped off. 

So it seems to be a discrepancy in reaction time  by the SS agents up to at least Z230 versus the more immediate reaction of the Willis girl stopping running by Z200.

Rosemary Willis said she turned to look back at the TSBD and saw pigeons flying from the roof.  She turns suddenly from z202-206:

Once again, contracting statements that you cherry pick from the record is far from  "overwhelming"

Representative BOGGS. And the witness has also certified that those are Oswald's prints?
Mr. LATONA. No; I cannot certify to that.

Mr. EISENBERG. Do you want to explain that?

Mr. LATONA. As I am not the one that fingerprinted Oswald, I cannot tell from my own personal knowledge that those
are actually the fingerprints of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. EISENBERG. But you can certify that those prints are identical with the prints on the card which bears
the name of Lee Harvey Oswald which was furnished to you?

Mr. LATONA. That is right.

Mr. EISENBERG. We will get other evidence in the record at a subsequent time to show those were the prints of Oswald.
Mr. Latona, you were saying that you had worked over that rifle by applying a gray powder to it. Did you develop any fingerprints?

Mr. LATONA. I was not successful in developing any prints at all on the weapon.
I also had one of the firearms examiners dismantle the weapon and I processed the complete weapon, all parts, everything else.
And no latent prints of value were developed.

All Latona is saying is that since he was not the one that fingerprinted Oswald, he cannot say from his own knowledge that the prints on the bag were made by Oswald. All he can say is they prints on the bag matched the print on Oswald's fingerprint card which was taken by the DPD.

Latona did not find any identifiable prints on the rifle. That is because the palmprint on the underside of the barrel had been lifted off the rifle by Lt. Day of the DPD. The print was no longer on the rifle when the FBI received it from the DPD.

This was Latona's conclusion regarding the print that had been lifted off the rifle:

"On the basis of those points, the obvious conclusion to an experienced fingerprint man is simply that the same palm made both of these prints. Only one palm could have made it, and that palm is the one which is alleged to be of Lee Harvey Oswald, his right palm."

For the sake of brevity, I have posted only Latona's conclusion. His testimony regarding the palmprint from the rifle extends from page 22-27. If someone wants to read his entire testimony, it can be read here:

I wouldn't bother looking for anything in  Latona's testimony which exonerates Oswald. It doesn't exist.

Yes, i am crawler or cushioncrawler or atheistaetherist or Marjan Rynkiewicz or madmac depending on the forum.
This week i am printing a book on English Billiards. It will cost me $6000.
This week i am writing a book on elekticity on a wire. I hope to print it in late 2026. It will cost me $2000.
I woz a Civil Engineer, not an Electrical Engineer. But i am No1 in the world re elekticity on a wire.
Today i finally worked out where Wolfgang G Gasser made hiz mistake when he measured the speed of electric radiation in the near field to be 5c.
This in my opinion makes me No1 in the world re Gasser.
And it now makes me No1 in the world in 8 realms, mostly physics stuff.
I retired from full time employment when i woz 52 years old. I am now 78.  And i study something/anything 12 hours per day.
After the elekticity book i will write a book on the jfk saga. Hickey shot jfk.
Life iz too short.

And then you have the threshold "What sense does it make?" question. WHY make a "bag" at the TSBD wrapping station in the first place, with the risks that would entail -  both at the time and including the risk of Frazier or Marina wondering why you have that big crinkly bag folded up inside your jacket? It's certainly possible he made it, but it seems to me an extremely odd and unlikely choice.

What risk would there be by making the bag at the wrapping station. That someone might find out he was using company materials for personal use?
That happens at most workplaces I've been employed at. I've done it myself. Many times. Compared to what Oswald was contemplating, I don't think Oswald was too concerned he might get reprimanded at work.

If Oswald was discovered with the bag, all he would have to do is cook up some lie like he made it so he could carry curtain rods in it.

I just don't think Oswald had any reason to fear being caught either making the bag or taking it back to Irving with him.
