JFK Assassination Forum

Dear Royell,

Do you believe the evil, evil "Deep State" killed JFK?

If so, do you think this belief had anything to do with your becoming a supporter of The Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxxx")?

Tangentially, do you think JFK was a Libtard?

If so, why are you so interested in his assassination?

-- Tom

   My 2 challenges stand. (1) The "No Glove Cop" on the Darnell Film is not Officer Haygood. (2) There is NO CAR parked alongside the Island on the Wiegman Film.  These 2 recent JFK Assassination discoveries stand on Fact, and prove a Conspiracy. 

Did Austin Miller just see Steam?



Austin Miller was another one of Mark Lane's witnesses who claimed to have seen smoke on the grassy knoll: (page 40 in Rush to Judgment)

Austin L. Miller stated in an affidavit on November 22, 'I saw something which I thought was smoke or steam coming from a group of trees north of Elm off the railroad tracks.' He was questioned for the first time by counsel for the Commission four and a half months after the assassination. The interview was a brief one; it lasted but a few minutes. Counsel did not ask about the smoke, and Miller was dismissed before he could mention the crucial observation contained in his affidavit.

Here is Austin Miller's statement to the Sheriff's department:



The smoke that Austin Miller saw came from the westernmost part of the grassy knoll which is not where conspiracy theorists claim the shots came from. And there was a steam pipe right in that vicinity -- notice that Miller said it could have been steam.


Gary Mack told Vincent Bugliosi that the steam pipe "started at the north end of the Triple Underpass and extended about thirty feet parallel to the railroad tracks”


And Dallas police officer Seymour Weitzman testified about the steam pipe:


Austin Miller also talked to the FBI:





No mention of smoke or steam, but Miller does mention "powder dust spray" which might either have been brain/blood/scalp/skull matter from the head shot, or dust from a missed shot on the pavement.


Update

Robert Wagner, in his excellent book, JFK Assassinated, references this piece of testimony from Austin Miller:

You said that I should look at "'The Full Darnell Snippet' by - 'The JFK Theorist' (23:32 - 23:40)." The screen caps I posted are taken from the 23:34-23:36 interval of the same video. That is, they come from within the interval you pointed to. Do you not even know what film you are looking at?

Harkness and the MC do not appear in the part pointing down the Elm St extension (23:32-23:34), so it cannot not itself show "exactly where [they] are." It does show that Darnell is south of the TSBD, about where the ESX curb would be if it continued straight west. Just like I showed in the annotated aerial photo of the RR yard. This puts him, Harkness, and the MC south of where you so desperately want to believe.

     It is the ENTIRE Darnell Film Snippet that has to be viewed in order to appreciate what we are seeing. Also, a sound foundation regarding the Elm Street Extension is required. You obviously do Not have this. This is why you are unable to connect-the-dots.
     After making his 12:36 police radio transmission, Officer Harkness was filmed by Martin as he took Amos Euins down the "wide open" Elm St Ext on the back of his 3 wheel motorcycle. Harkness then loaded Euins into Inspector Sawyer's car. Euins sitting in the back of Sawyer's car, with the Harkness motorcycle double parked next to that same car, was filmed by National Geographic. The Elm St Ext can be seen to be STILL WIDE OPEN on this Nat Geo film footage. The Darnell Film shows the Elm St Ext to be JAMMED WITH PEOPLE at the very same time that Officer Harkness and "No Glove Cop" are filmed together. This timestamps Harkness and "No Glove Cop" being filmed together on the Darnell Film at 12:38. Officer Haywood made a 12:35 radio transmission from his motorcycle that was parked at the Elm St curb near the Triple Underpass. Haygood's 12:35 radio transmission means the "No Glove Cop" on the 12:38 Darnell Film snippet can NOT be Officer Haygood. Which begs the question. Who is this "No Glove Cop" that was filmed with Officer Harkness?   

   "Apparently"?  This is exactly the way JFK Assassination Urban Legends are created. Somebody, (such as yourself), hears/reads something, they mynah bird it, and then on down the line it goes. Do your own JFK Assassination research and avoid having to make snappy retorts such as "Apparently".   

If Mark Lane was not trying to make the case that rifle smoke was seen on the GK, just what was his point in even bringing this up.
