So many rabbit holes. There are no "assumptions" here. This is based upon the testimony of those present at the actual events and the physical evidence. Oswald did not carry any curtain rods to work for the reasons discussed. We do not need a time machine, witness with x-ray vision, or the need to eliminate every possible object on planet Earth to reach a reasonable conclusion about the contents of Oswald's bag. Oswald's universe was finite and limited to the Paine household on the night before the assassination. He carries a long, narrow package to work that morning. The object therein must come from the Paine household. What is missing from the Paine household the next day that is long and narrow? A rifle. What is found at the TSBD that came from the Paine residence? A rifle. Who did this rifle belong too? Oswald. Where is it found? At Oswald's place of employment. This is not difficult. There is no real controversy about Oswald's ownership of the rifle or that he carried it to the TSBD on the 11.22.63 beyond the outlier CTer kook nonsense. It is an acknowledged fact based upon the overwhelming facts and known circumstances. Just playing contrarian and saying it ain't so over and over again is weak sauce.
There are no "assumptions" here.Oh yes there are. You just call them "evidence"
This is based upon the testimony of those present at the actual events and the physical evidence. No it isn't. There is no testimony whatsoever that connects the bag found at the TSBD to the bag Oswald carried that morning.
Btw, what exactly is "based upon the testimony" and "physical evidence" if not mere assumptions?
Oswald did not carry any curtain rods to work for the reasons discussed. That's an assumption
We do not need a time machine, witness with x-ray vision, or the need to eliminate every possible object on planet Earth to reach a reasonable conclusion about the contents of Oswald's bag. Translation of "reach a reasonable conclusion" = a speculative assumption based on bias
The object therein must come from the Paine household. Why? Another assumption
What is missing from the Paine household the next day that is long and narrow? A rifle. Multiple assumptions based on no evidence whatsoever;
Assumption 1: There was a rifle in Ruth Paine's garage on 11/21/63
Assumption 2: That the rifle was a Mannlicher–Carcano
Assumption 3: Oswald took that rifle
What is found at the TSBD that came from the Paine residence? A rifle.Another assumption for which there is not a shred of evidence. There is no evidence whatsoever to determine where the MC rifle found at the TSBD came from.
Who did this rifle belong too? Oswald. Says who?
There is no real controversy about Oswald's ownership of the rifle or that he carried it to the TSBD on the 11.22.63 beyond the outlier CTer kook nonsense. It is an acknowledged fact based upon the overwhelming facts and known circumstances.BS
Just playing contrarian and saying it ain't so over and over again is weak sauce.Then prove me wrong by providing some actual evidence rather than all sorts of wild speculations based on nothing but your own bias.
