JFK Assassination Forum

Here are sections of the document Rob Clark was reading from the episode of The Lone Gunman podcast as referenced in my opening post. The RIF number does not seem to be available on Mary Ferrell so it seems Mr. Clark has managed to get his hands on a document that might not be very well known. The document has Orent Pena stating that Ferrie and Shaw knew each other.

Biggest discovery of 2026 so far?

My problems with this are more philosophical. Given Oswald's purpose for going to MC and the state he was in after that purpose was frustrated, I find it exceedingly unlikely that anyone in any official capacity would have thought he was a likely candidate to assassinate JFK - or even a candidate for a discussion of the topic.

At the time of the MC trip, no one, not even Oswald, could possibly have known the golden opportunity chance circumstances were going to give Oswald to assassinate the POTUS. No one knew he was going to get a job at the TSBD. No one knew there was even going to be a motorcade through Dallas or that it would be routed down Elm St., right by the TSBD that Oswald would later be working at.

The assassination was a crime of opportunity. Had Oswald not been working in a building overlooking the motorcade route, I doubt any of us would even know who he was, even if he committed some other screwball act that might have given him some brief notoriety, such as assassination someone like General Walker.

                                                                         - DESERTED GETAWAY CAR -

    (1) Car rolled down the Elm St Extension while shots were being fired, (2) Car then parked in a clearly posted, "NO PARKING At Any Time" Zone, (3) Car remained in that same spot for 3+ Hrs after the kill shot.

That's what you consider proof?

That speaks volumes about the way your mind works. Off al the possible explanations, you gravitate to the most fantastic one possible.

The "No Parking" zone was close to the corner. No vehicle could have gotten in front of this car without hanging out onto Elm St. This ensured the "getaway" car could immediately turning onto Elm St when traffic was flowing again. They knew nobody would take this "No Parking...." spot, and they could pull into it at the very last moment. This spot alongside the Island was close to the corner, and close to the "wide open" Huge Gates. The Huge Gates provided clandestine entrance and exit to the TSBD. The "getaway" car was picking up a shooting team. Shooter + Spotter. Shooter + Spotter exited the TSBD via the Huge Gates and intended to get into the "getaway" car that was mere feet outside the Huge Gates.

Dear Royell,

You didn't answer John Corbett's question, i.e., "What's your proof that there was a 'shooter team' inside the TSBD?"
