JFK Assassination Forum

  The Wiegman Film does Not show a 17.5 Foot Long car that stands 5 Feet High. This is an extremely huge rectangle of space. That's Reality. The Lego Car stuff is pure conjecture. "Gumby" cartoonish. I continue to confidently issue the challenge, "PROVE ME WRONG".

I haven't been a regular contributor on any online forum regarding the JFK assassination in about five years. I don't know why but I just recently decided to revisit the subject. I've browsed this forum and others and one thing I have definitely noticed is the volume of posts is way down from what I saw when I was a regular contributor. I regularly participated in two Google Groups forums, alt.assassination.jfk (moderated by John McAdams) and alt.conspiracy.jfk(unmoderated). Both forums would see quite a few new topics started each day and it would not be unusual to see some topics get dozens of posts each day. As of 4:30 ET today, I see only 6 topics that have had any activity at all today and those that have only have one or two posts. I've looked at a few of the other online discussion groups and they seem to have even less activity than this one.

I began discussing the JFK assassination and conspiracy theories online shortly after Oliver Stone's movie came out. I participated on and off in various forums for about 30 years and had walked away from them about five years ago. I can say without hesitation that I've never seen such a low level of interest in the subject of JFK's assassination. It is not surprising given that it has been over 62 years since it happened. That is the same time span as the one between JFK's assassination and McKinley's assassination. IOW, both are ancient history to anyone under 70 years old. I was in 7th grade when JFK died and am now 74. Why would anyone from younger generations have much interest in the subject. Why would anyone who doesn't remember JFK when he was alive bother to argue about how he died.

History books and online sources mostly identify Oswald as the assassin while recognizing that there is a significant percentage of the American people who don't believe he acted alone. The fact that many doubt this doesn't mean they are obsessed about it. Most of them go about their daily lives without ever giving the question a thought. I've had periods where I was among those people but for reasons I can't explain, I keep coming back. The fact that there doesn't seem to be any discussion groups with significant activity probably means my own interest won't last for long.

Hi Charles. I used a position of 3.5' N and 15” E of Tina's location for a reasonable “Line of Sight” fit for Allen's position. I found the car (if it is the same car) was moved about 5-5.5' E from its Wiegman position. Maybe it was in the process of leaving the area. I hope this helps.

Hi James, excellent work as always. Here’s a crop from a very clear photo by William Allen taken on 11/22/63 during the three tramps walk through Dealey Plaza. Royell claims the car in question didn’t move at all before the Allen photo was taken. I have drawn yellow arrows pointing at the rear bumper and taillight. You can line that up with the opening for the large gates and the pole for the highway numbers sign. I believe that Allen’s position was a few feet ENE of Tina Towner’s filming position on the SW corner of Elm & Houston streets. I hope this might help clarify the position of the car.
