JFK Assassination Forum

These days, it's going to be hard to find a 91/38 FC in good shape for less than $500. I spent about $650 to get my 7.35 a few years ago, though mine came well-restored well. The Ethioipian government has been periodically coughing up crates of old Carcanos held in it's arsenals in the past few years. However, I doubt they're in very good shape. But maybe you can find a good one in the dross.

Not only did they see the film they got Time/Life to send them the original to examine. It was reportedly much clearer than the copies the WC had. According to David Belin, he and others watched it hundreds of times, over multiple hours.

It was CE 396 and 398.

From Shenon's "A Cruel and Shocking Act."

It was CE 396 and 398.

MT-

You raise an arcane question. Was the ammo found in the TSBD6 0.268 or 0.264?

The gun boards say you get better results, accuracy wise, with the 0.268.

Can you please tell me why someone in the Office of Security's mole-hunting Security Research Staff (of which Nosenko-loving and Shadrin-losing Solie was Deputy Chief) arranged with the Records Integration Division and the Office of Mail Logistics to have all of the incoming non-CIA cables on Oswald's upcoming "defection" sent to it instead of where they would normally go -- the Soviet Russia Division?--TG

I do not have any theories, conjecture, hypotheses or deductions on that.

The WC concluded LHO was not KGB or G2. If WC conclusions are fallible...then where are we in our JFKA narratives?

If Solie was in fact a KGB mole, then he had his reasons for manipulating information traffic, as he was working for the evil and bad KGB.

If Solie was in fact an earnest mole-hunter, he may have other reasons for cutting off the flow of non-CIA cables to SRD. Perhaps to find out if someone in SRD was finding out the censored info anyway---indicating that someone could be KGB.

The case against Solie is interesting.

On the other hand, the case is only a deduction, a conspiracy theory on Solie.

There is no evidence of Solie-KGB communiques, and LHO never said, "Someone representing Solie (or even the CIA) sent me to the USSR." Solie was soft on Nosenko, but so were some others.

I lean towards Solie being a KGB asset, but it is a suspicion.

There has been no trial, and Solie is not around to defend his reputation.

Maybe.

Problem for a shot at Z270 hitting JC is that the bullet is NOT fragmenting into multiple pieces. If the conventional LN theory for a 2nd shot is CE 399 which went thru 2 bodies and a wrist bone and that CE 399 did NOT fragment , then why should we believe a Z270 shot that only passed  thru JCs body would fragment?

So unless this Z 270 bullet exiting JCs lower right side chest at 1500 ft/ sec did some amazing deflecting back  left and upward to get past the front seat , then over the windshield and then makes a final physics defying parabolic arc downwards again after traveling across the plaza green, there no way it’s hitting the curb near Tague.
