JFK Assassination Forum

DM--

Great clip, thanks for posting.

LBJ had reason, perhaps, for his qualms. After all, LBJ more or less told WC Warren that sidestepping a nuke war with Russia was Job 1.

For you younger readers the idea of a nuke war in 1963 was fresh and real---in 1962, some people thought it was 50/50 the US and Russia would have a nuke war (the CMC).

Here, LBJ seems to be hinting at Russia and Cuba.

BTW---the US Ambassador to Mexico, Thomas Mann, and the State Department staffer in Mexico Charles Thomas, both thought there was a lot to the Cuba-LHO connection, and they were both shut down, and both lost their jobs in short order.

I came across Chris Davidson and Keven Hofeling's allegations at the Ed Forum that the Zapruder film that we know, isn't the original. Chris Davidson uses "maths" to allege that the Limo stopped, while Hofeling has accumulated a vast number of buzzwords which he uses to sound somewhat knowledgeable but as they say in the classics, garbage in garbage out.

I see that should have said:

MASON: Well an argument is not the same as contradiction.
CORBETT: Can be.
MASON: No it can’t. An argument’s a collective series of statements to establish a definite proposition.  In this case, the witnesses say the first shot struck JFK and the vast majority said last two shots were closer together. That means a separate shot hit JBC after the midpoint between 1 and 3. I have explained how the bullet path through the body, as found by Dr. Shaw, is consistent with hitting JBC while his torso is twisted around so his shoulders are sideways in the car. In that position a path from the lateral edge of the scapula to right nipple goes around the pleural cavity.    The wounds are inconsistent with him facing forward because when facing forward the path from back wound to exit wound goes through the pleural cavity.  If you want to contradict that it is up to you to provide evidence to the contrary.
CORBETT: No it isn't and no I don't. You have to disprove my spidey senses and they tell me that JBC could not have been hit in the torso at z271.
MASON: No I don't.  You keep just contradicting.
CORBETT:  Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
MASON: But it isn’t just saying, “no it isn’t.”
CORBETT:  Yes it is!
MASON: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction’s just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
CORBETT:  No it isn’t.  ....
