Reprinted below are some excerpts from my website linked above.

Feel free to add your own comments and JFKA observations, but don't forget to include the Common Sense with each comment. That's very important in this thread....

"Given the alignment of the two limo victims at the time of the shooting, plus the location of the only known shooter in Dealey Plaza, plus the fact that no bullets were found in JFK's body at all, plus the fact that a whole bullet which positively came out of the gun that was found on the sixth floor of the TSBD was found inside the hospital where the two victims were taken, plus the fact that the two injured limo victims reacted to an external stimulus at precisely the same moment in time on the Zapruder Film....I wonder how anyone in 2022 (or any other year or millennium) can be so blind as to not accept the Single-Bullet Theory as fact." -- David Von Pein [DVP]; September 28, 2022

"If there is a suspicious fire, the [conspiracy-minded] kooks would investigate the firemen who respond, and ignore the guy with the wicked grin that smells of gasoline." -- Bud; November 22, 2007




[More to come....]

My COMMON SENSE tells me that the simple fact that Oswald made it out of the Depository building alive and then wandered the streets of Dallas and Oak Cliff taking busses and taxis... proves that he was no patsy.

I can see it now.  In the pre-assassination meetings at the Conspiracies 'R' Us offices, the man sitting at the important end of the table decides that it is perfectly okay to allow the patsy to wander around on his own.  Laughable.

Morley may or may not be ignorant of anything.

Morley is willfully posting pro-IRGC content on X, and dog-whistling Mossad waxed JFK.

Morley was always a dyed-in-the-wool leftie (and that informed his narratives0, but I suspect now he getting $ from offshore.

Who posts pro-IRGC content?

The IRGC?

Do you dislike the Donks and the Phants equally?

I overlooked the parts regarding Jack Ruby and the fact that the Dallas Police Department allowed their prime suspect to get lynched. It always troubled me that Ruby was allowed to be in the parking garage during the 'aborted transfer' of Oswald, that not a single police official recognized him and told him to leave. It is most unfortunate. A trial could have provided many answers.

The simple fact that Ruby was not yet recognized by anyone is very good evidence, to me anyway, that he had only been in the basement for a very short time (two minutes at the most) before Oswald was led out, i.e. there wasn't enough time for anyone who may have known him to even see him.

Of all the unhinged JFK conspiracy theories the notion that Ruth Paine, a Quaker housewife, was the mastermind behind a conspiracy to kill JFK has to rank.  CTers, however, are in a bind since the chain of events that led to Oswald working in the TSBD goes through her and tea parties.  So it must be so, or the chain is broken and their fantasies about a conspiracy disintegrate.

Forever known as "The Irving Tea Party".

By raising the issue of the dented shell, the CTs demonstrate how really, really bad they are at weighing evidence. To them, the presence of a dented shell in the sniper's nest negates all the other forensic evidence that points to Oswald as the shooter. That dented shell gives them the excuse to dismiss the fact that all three of the spent shells were fired by the rifle that was found elsewhere on the 6th floor. That rifle was connected to Oswald in four different ways. By the paper trail indicating he purchased the rifle via mail order. He was photographed with the rifle. His palm print was on that rifle. The fibers on the butt plate of the rifle matched the shirt Oswald was wearing that day. Furthermore, a bag was found next to the sniper's nest that had Oswald's palm and fingerprint on the bottom of the bag and fibers matching the blanket Oswald used to store the rifle. Oswald's fingerprints were found on top of the boxes that were stacked by the window to form a rifle rest. All of this evidence points unmistakably to Oswald as the assassin. But that is not the answer the CTs want. In fact, they give no indication they are after any answers at all. What they really want are excuses to dismiss all that damning evidence that Oswald was they assassin. If they even respond to this post, we can count on them providing more excuses for each of the items I've pointed to as evidence of Oswald's guilt. They really have never shown an interest in figuring out who killed JFK. That just want excuses to deny it was Oswald.

To be clear, the tuft of fibers were found in the crevice between the metal butt plate and the wooden stock.

Other than that, your point is entirely valid.

Some folks seem to believe that the dent in the neck of one of the spent Carcano cartridges found on the sixth floor of the TSBD indicates that it couldn’t have been fired on 11/22/63. However, there is a very reasonable explanation for the dent that has credible supporting evidence and is consistent with that cartridge being one of the three shots believed to have been fired on 11/22/63. Let’s start with an animated GIF showing slow-motion of a shell being ejected from a lever action rifle. You can see the ejected shell spin end for end and the neck end of the cartridge hit the rifle and bounce off. It appears to me that the neck end of the spent cartridge is flattened a bit by the impact.




Here is a still image from that GIF showing what appears to be a somewhat flattened neck.


I had previously posted in another thread a link to a video of a Carcano M91/38 ejecting a spent cartridge that also bounced off of the rifle at the bridge to the rear of the ejection port. Here is a still frame from that video showing the cartridge just after it bounced off the rifle.


What we cannot see in the Carcano image above is what that rear bridge looks like from the rear angle. Here’s an image from Nova’s Cold Case JFK that clearly shows the sharp edges and/or corners that could have made the dent in CE543:


The FBI duplicated the dented cartridge in their tests by cycling the Carcano’s bolt very quickly and forcefully in an effort to simulate someone trying to fire consecutive shots a quickly as possible.

Hi Charles.  The dented casing could have also been the result of a short cycle, which occurs when the shooter is operating the bolt in a very hurried fashion.  Basically, the casing does not get fully ejected and instead is caught and squeezed by the operation of the bolt in preparation for the next shot.  The shooter would then be forced to operate the bolt a 2nd time to finally eject the spent (and now dented) casing.

I'm not saying I adhere to this theory, but it is something to consider.

Note how Morley's narrative on the JFKA has mutated from "the CIA did it," to his "Mossad did it with Angleton," dog-whistle on the Tucker Carlson show.

Jefferson Morley is willfully ignorant of the fact that Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, Bruce Solie in the mole-hunting Office of Security, was probably a KGB mole.

He's also willfully ignorant of the fact that his beloved Yuri "The KGB Had Nothing to Do with Marine U-2 Radar Operator Oswald in the USSR" Nosenko was sent to the CIA in Geneva in June 1962 to prevent Solie's being uncovered by the intel that a recent true defector, Anatoly Golitsyn, was giving to Angleton, but which gullible Angleton was unfortunately sharing with Solie who was relaying said intel to Nosenko's boss, KGB General Oleg Gribanov, in Moscow via high-level moles in French Intelligence and/or a frequent KGB Geneva-Paris traveler by the name of Mikhail Tsymbal.

When I say "pro-IRGC influencers are active in the JFKA research space"--are there any doubters?

I'm not disputing that people on the GK might have smelled gunpowder. The people I've seen most often cited as having smelled gunpowder were people in the motorcade such as Senator Yarborough. He was in the middle of Elm St. when he smelled the gunpowder residue. I don't think anyone has suggested a shot was fired from Elm St. which tells us that the residue had traveled some distance from its source. That doesn't tell us where that source was. It is illogical to conclude that because these people smelled the residue as they were passing the GK that is an indication the source was the GK. The smell of gunpowder in no way tells us where the shots originated from. We have much better evidence of that: the spent shells in the sniper's next, the murder weapon on the 6th floor, and several eyewitnesses who located the gunman before he fired his last shot. CTs have no real evidence of a second gunman so they grab onto morsels such as this.
If you are going to use the smell of gunpowder on Elm St. as evidence of a shot from the GK, the burden is on you to prove that the residue was discharged from the GK. At the very least, you would need to prove that residue could not have been discharged from the sniper's nest. As is the norm for CTs, you assume what you have failed to prove.
I see you are projecting again.
By sincere questions, you mean ones that are critical of the WCR. You resent when critical thinking is applied to the CT arguments.

 "..a shot fired from Elm St?" What about the SA Hickey AR-15?
