JFK Assassination Forum

JC-

Verily, on the two trips necessary to move the M-C rifle from the Paine residence to the TSBD, if done in stages.

I concede that.

OTOH, the Dallas Morning News reported on Sept. 25 that JFK would visit Dallas on 11.22. By all accounts LHO was an avid reader of news, and a political student.

LHO is reported to have scoped out rooftop vantage points along Elm St., pre-11.22

In other words, LHO may have been planning or pondering whether to assassinate JFK in the month before 11.22, maybe from the TSBD, or maybe somewhere else, which ever was most propitious. The cavernous TSBD, with plenty of hiding spots, was a good place to cache the M-C, in any event.

So LHO moved the rifle in, but in parts. Maybe the barrel inside a pant leg.

My guess is LHO was part of the JFKA...what part, I can't tell you.

Dan Rather with that bag...I dunno. Great clip though.

  This "human shields" stuff is pure propaganda. We almost never see footage of what is going on inside Iran, and then all the sudden, we see film footage of alleged "human shields". None of the news services post the source of this film footage, they just run it. It's propaganda and the News Media spreads it across the USA. This includes FOX News. The foreign influence/$$ inside the USA runs extremely deep.

If innocent people are used as human shields and become casualties, that's on the regime that placed them there, not on the attackers. That's war. During WWII, we killed lots of German and Japanese civilians in striking military targets. That's unavoidable, even with the precision guided missiles we have today. It's called collateral damage. It might seem cold hearted, but it is how war is waged. You can't allow the enemy to shield their military targets using their own people. The Israelis are forced to attack Hezbollah missile launchers which have been placed in civilian neighborhoods. We did apparently strike a school and that is being investigated, but early indications are that was the result of bad intelligence. We had absolutely no reason to deliberately target a school. Mistakes like that are sadly also inevitable during war, as much as we try to avoid them. Sometimes we even kill our own troops in friendly fire incidents. Fortunately, we so far haven't had to put boots on the ground other than the rescue missions so friendly fire accidents have not been an issue other than one of our jets being mistaken for an Iranian drone by one of our Arab allies. Fortunately, that one did not result in casualties.

TG--

The proper expression is, "smoke-and-bang."

AKA KGB SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Gotta say, Dan Rather is not convincing in this vignette.

Not enough flash-bang?

Mrs. MARY BROCK, 4310 Utah, Dallas, Texas, advised that on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, she was at the Ballew Texaco Service Station located in the 600 block of Jefferson Street, Dallas, Texas. She advised that at approximately 1:30 PM a white male described as approximately 30 years of age; 5 feet, 10 inches; light—colored complexion, wearing light clothing, came past her walking at a fast pace, wearing a light—colored jacket and with his hands in his pockets.

Approximately five minutes later two individuals from Johnny Reynolds Used Car Lot, 500 Jefferson Street, appeared at Ballew's Texaco Service Station, making inquiry as to whether she had noticed the young white man come by the station. She indicated she had, at which time they informed her that this individual had in all probability shot a Dallas police officer. She advised she informed them that the individual proceeded north behind the Texaco station and she last observed him in the parking lot directly behind Ballew's Texaco Service Station.

Mrs. BROCK was shown a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, New Orleans PD 9 112723, dated August 9, 1963, which she identified as being the same person she observed on November 22, 1963, at Ballew's Texaco Service Station.

Mrs. BROCK advised at the time she saw OSWALD on November 22, 1963, she was unaware of the fact that President JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY had been assassinated, and she was unaware that Dallas Police Officer J. D. TIPPIT had been shot.
