For those who might be interested, I have uploaded a substantially revised and expanded version of my article "Faulty Evidence: Problems with the Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald.".

The new edition examines the following subjects:

-- Oswald and the alleged murder weapon.

-- The ordering of the alleged murder weapon.

-- The paper bag, the blanket, and the fingerprints on some of the boxes near the sixth-floor window.

-- The shirt fibers found on the Carcano rifle.

-- The trigger-guard fingerprints and the dubious claim of Scalice and Powdrill that they are Oswald's prints.

-- The suspicious latent palm print that Lt. Day belatedly claimed he saw and lifted.

-- The alleged ballistic evidence, especially CE 543 (the dented shell).

-- Scientific evidence that Oswald did not shoot JFK.

-- The disclosure of the results of the NAA testing of the paraffin cast made of Oswald's right cheek.

-- PSE polygraph analysis of Oswald's declarations of innocence, and a response to DeGrilla's misleading attack on the PSE evidence.

-- Indications of fraud in the backyard rifle photos.

-- Oswald's marksmanship in the Marine Corps.

-- What Oswald's former Marine colleagues and fellow Minsk gun club members said about his shooting ability (that he was a "poor" and "extremely poor" shot).

-- The alleged lone-gunman shooting feat and the rifle tests done by the WC, CBS, and the HSCA.

-- Oswald's whereabouts before, during, and immediately after the shooting.

-- Witnesses and the police lineups.

-- Howard Brennan.

-- Prayer Man.

-- The single-bullet theory (SBT).

-- Guinn's NAA and the SBT.

-- Problems with the case against Oswald in the Tippit shooting.

-- The wedding ring and cash allegedly left on Marina Oswald’s nightstand on the morning of the assassination.

-- Oswald's post-assassination actions from 12:30 to 1:15.

-- The claim that Oswald snuck into the Texas Theatre without paying.

-- The arrest of Oswald in the Texas Theatre.

-- The Robert Baer team's research.

-- Howard Donahue's research.

Your entire article is nothing more than a litany of excuses for dismissing all that damning evidence against Oswald. If your excuses carried any weight, you should be able to put together a plausible alternative narrative that takes into account all that evidence including your pathetic excuses. We both know that no such plausible alternative narrative is possible or somebody would have come up with one by now. It's been almost 63 years since the assassination and no one has come close to developing a scenario that explains the entire body of evidence. CTs are in the business of explaining away the evidence as your article demonstrates.

After I first began to study the JFK case, I came across conspiracy theorist Harrison Edward Livingstone's rejection of the HSCA's acoustical evidence. When he cited the alleged Decker "hold everything" crosstalk, I didn't know enough to see any problem with it.

However, when Livingstone stressed that one of his reasons for rejecting the acoustical evidence was that the shots could not be heard with the naked ear on the dictabelt, my acoustical training led me too see a potential red flag. I knew that if the DPD radio system included Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry, the AGC would have prevented the shots from being recorded loudly enough to be heard with the naked ear. 

This was my first hint that the case against the acoustical evidence might not be nearly as strong as "everyone" seemed to think it was.

However, I remained skeptical of the acoustical evidence until I obtained a copy of the HSCA volumes and read the testimony and reports of the committee's acoustical scientists.

When I later read the NRC/NAS panel's critique of the acoustical evidence, one of the first things I realized was that the panel did not even address several key items of evidence that the BBN and Queens College acoustical scientists had documented.

I was like, "Wait a minute. How can you guys claim to have refuted the acoustical evidence when you haven't even mentioned some of the key scientific findings that support it?" I was referring, of course, to the gunfire N-waves, complete with muzzle blasts and muzzle-blast echoes in the correct timing and order, and the gunfire windshield distortions on the dictabelt.

I also recognized that the panel had acknowledged that their own calculations showed there was a 93% probability that the timing-movement correlations identified by the BBN scientists occurred because the tape recorded gunfire in Dealey Plaza. I noticed that the panel made this admission as obliquely as possible and oddly said nothing about its obvious importance.

I further recognized that the panel had acknowledged that their own calculations showed there was a 77.7% probability that the dictabelt's 144.9 impulse pattern was caused by gunfire from the grassy knoll. Here, too, I noticed that the panel made this admission as obliquely as possible and said nothing about its obvious importance.

I thought, "Ok, 77.7% isn't as high as '95% or higher,' but it's still pretty high." This, of course, was before I learned that the panel's calculations included two outright errors, and that the "95% or higher" probability was actually closer to 99%.

I wondered how the panel could dismiss the acoustical evidence given these admissions and given their failure to address several key scientific findings that supported the acoustical evidence.

"I know I have the option of not reading these posts. However, I remain mystified as to how most of these replies have anything at all to do with JFK. I suggest that there be a TDS Forum added to the Education Forum so that those wishing to discuss Trump have a place to do so."--Greg Burnham 10.7.2026 post in Education Forum.

Burnham is a solid JFKA researcher, who has different views from mine. So it goes.

Verily, and the title of the thread in which Burnham posted?

Donald Trump, the Deep State and the JFK Assassination

There are others, such as JFK Files and the Jeffrey Epstein files

Such threads are, of course, tailor-made for TDS, Israel Derangement Syndrome (IDS) and other feculent mental disabilities. You can imagine what is said about Epstein. Or maybe you can't---much of it is nutty.

(BTW, I have mixed regard for Trump).

In truth, the Education Forum has improved under the leadership of Andrew Iler, and the deposing of the florid anti-Semitic crackpot and "moderator" William Niedernut.

The posts connecting Jews, 9.11, the USS Liberty, the RFKA, Mossad, Watergate and and the King and Malcom X assssinations, and I forget what else, have largely disappeared.

But Iler is saddled with the legacy founder, John Simkin, who seems to ache for platform to post his far left-wing views on every topic under the sun, from US national debt, to whatever Trump said now. Other legacy members pile on...and on....and on....and on.....

To be honest, there is a fair sprinkling of LNT'er posters in the Education Forum now, including Fred Litwin. I like to see all points of view, and that is an improvement.

But, if you have TDS, there is a home for you in the JFKA research land...the Education Forum!

TDS is found in both camps. There are plenty of lone-gunman theorists who suffer from severe TDS.

How do you explain the simultaneous upward arm movements by JFK and JBC at Z226?
Do you think that was the first shot.

I made a typo error. I meant Z223. We agree that JFK and JC are reacting to same bullet. Yes I like the Z223 as a 1st shot hit followed  4.8 sec later for 2nd shot at Z312, then a 2.5 sec 3rd shot that was not aimed but just a final “exclamation” shot which a kook like Oswald might have done. ( he kept the rifle sticking out several seconds after Z313 such that Bob Jackson and Malcolm Couch spotted it and saw it “slowly withdrawn” as though the gunman was enjoying watching the pandemonium reactions of the crowd.
