Progress... Have we made any ?.....

[Zeon Mason]

There’s the case to be made that the MC rifle seen being picked up by Lt.Day per the Aleya film was laying flat as opposed to the photo made which had the rifle laying vertical (still apparently held wedged between two rows of boxes)

There’s the question  to be made that the MC rifle with offset scope ( requiring about 3” gap if wedged between 2 rows boxes only about 1”apart , left no signs of scoring on the sides of the boxes and all so , how easy or difficult it would it have been to get the sling pad into the gap 1st so that it’s under the rifle (vs on top of the rifle) and if it required pushing the rifle down or would gravity be enough, for the rifle to slide down?

Hoorah for you Zeon!!     You're making a important observation.....and pointing out that the official DPD photo that purports to be of the carcano in situ is a ridiculous photo shop photo.

If actual film footage of the rifle being removed from it's hiding place isn't enough to decide the matter then nothing will.

If a time machine were invented that allowed the likes of Walt to sit in Oswald's lap while he pulled the trigger, he would gouge his own eyes out rather than have to acknowledge Oswald's guilt.

It's just the opposite.... You Mr "smith" refuse to accept factual evidence....   It may surprise you to know that once upon a time I praised Jack Ruby for doing a great service to the country for lynching Lee Oswald...... But then I learned the truth..

It should have been LBJ who went to the gallows......

Seems to me that east-side window doesn't offer much of a vantage point to the sidewalk. The north window maybe for a second as does the view from the open door of the lunchroom. Oswald would have to be already staring out the north window or the lunchroom door to observe the two men passing. That suggests he wasn't reading the newspaper or eating his "lunch". Maybe Lee was looking out at the sky and daydreaming of hijacking a plane to Cuba.

I believe Oswald in the SN window could have seen the two men hanging out together on the sidewalk. Then they appear together at the same time on the floor and side of the building that was below the SN window. Not a stretch to venture they entered the building together.



As Oswald didn't specify seeing them pass by the north window, it's just as likely he would have assumed they entered through the front door, where--depending on where he sat in the lunchroom--his odds of seeing them were much greater.

So where does Oswald say he saw the two men men pass through the first floor at 12:25/26?

Thank you....  for acknowledging that Lee Oswald was in fact in a position from which he could easily have seen Jarman and Norman as they walked by the 1st floor lunchroom as they traveled to the 5th floor of the TSBD at 12:26.  It is irrelevant and it doesn't make any difference what he was doing .....eating , looking at a newspaper, or daydreaming.... He was there and he saw those two men walk by at 12:26.

If “Richard” went back in a time machine and saw that it wasn’t Oswald, he would just lie about it and say that it was.

Over and over and over.

I don't have any preconceived bias for or against Oswald or a JFK conspiracy/LN conclusion.  The evidence makes that determination.  For example, the evidence is convincing that John Wilkes Booth was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln and members of his Cabinet.  I have no vested interest in that conclusion.  It is a matter of the evidence.  There is no credible evidence, however, that anyone other than LHO was involved in the assassination of JFK.  What I take issue with is the use of faulty logic, outright falsehoods, and bizarre, baseless theories such as the red rings on the TSBD being a signal to LBJ.  That is all complete nonsense.  You have not cited a scintilla of credible evidence of a JFK conspiracy.  You can't even articulate a sensible conspiracy narrative that explains the known facts and circumstances.  In fact, the alleged motivations and actual actions of your fantasy conspirators are often completely contradictory.  In some instances, we are told that the motivation of the conspirators was to instigate a war with Cuba.  And, yet, within an hour of the assassination we are told that the conspirators were placing all the blame for the assassination on Oswald and ruling out the involvement of others.  Entirely undermining the articulated objective to blame Cuba as a pretext for war etc.  And on and on and on down the rabbit hole.

 Lee had a rock solid alibi. He saw Jarman & Norman walking  past the 1st floor lunch room as they traveled from the front of the TSBD to the 5th floor at 12:25. Jarman said that they departed from the front of the TSBD at about 12:25 and arrived on the fifth floor at about 12:28.

Jarman and Norman testified that they walked on the Houston street sidewalk on the east side of the TSBD. They walked from the front of the TSBD to the rear of the building and climbed the steps to the loading dock and then entered the shipping room by the back door.   Lee could have seen them in several places.......

Now then, Mr "smith".....  This the truth....Lee Oswald was in that 1st floor lunchroom at the time Jarman and Norman walked by....( 12:26)...So he couldn't have been on the sixth floor and murdering the President at 12:30....

Can you handle the truth.... , Mr "smith".... or are you too gutless.
