A question about Oswald

[Martin Weidmann]

You need a time machine to convince Martin from "Europa" (he stays up late) of any fact that lends itself to Oswald's guilt.  Even if Day didn't mention the print to anyone for a week that in no way means that he fabricated the print as Martin stupidly suggests.  That is tin foil hat nonsense.

Except Martin did not suggest that.... It's just another classic "Richard Smith" strawman.

Engaging with either one of the naysayers is an exercise in futility. They appear to already have their minds made up that the authorities are not to be believed. The only reason to engage them is for the benefit of someone who has an open mind that might be reading these posts.

Coming from a fanatical zealot, this is hilarious!

Why is it that LNs who can not make a convincing argument always resort to attacking the people who disagree with them and/or expose their claims as being bogus?

As if you haven't made your mind up that the authorities are always telling the truth..... even when they are blatantly lying.   

The only reason to engage them is for the benefit of someone who has an open mind that might be reading these posts.

That's exactly the reason why I keep calling you and your ilk out. Someone with an open mind needs to understand that what you are feeding him or her is nothing but propaganda and claims that are not supported by the evidence.

The way you twist and turn to "answer" a simple question without actually answering it, by posting quotes from a book, is telling enough.

Who wrote the damned book? Sneed, right?... So, if he didn't say what you quoted, who did?

Carl Day said it. Larry Sneed is conveying Day’s words to the public in his book. Same thing with the oral history from the Sixth Floor Museum.

How dishonest can you get....

Larry Sneed wrote the book. He claimed that he conveyed what Carl Day said.

How is that any different from Drain writing in his report what Day said?

Day said it and Drain reported what he said....

The difference is that both Sneed’s book and the Sixth Floor Museum’s oral history transcript are reporting Carl Day’s words. Drain’s report is not.

You are not claiming that Day fabricated the print because he didn't "report" to it to anyone?  If not, what is the basis of your silly claim that Day didn't lift Oswald's print from the rifle?

You keep going on about the Sixth Floor Museum, when we are discussing what Sneed and Drain wrote? Why are you trying to muddy the waters....

Btw, the difference between the Sixth Floor Museum transcript and Sneed's alleged verbatim quotes us that the Sixth Floor Museum's oral history series are all verifiable as they are on video as well.

The bottom line is that Sneed basically said he quoted Day verbatim (except when he edited the information for "occasional reorganization", whatever that means) but it can't be verified. You just take his word for it.

Drain just reported what Day had told him. Are you claiming that Drain was lying when he wrote that in his report?


One more comment. Drain wrote his report in 1964 and Day testified before the WC that same year. What he told Drain and the WC does not match what he said in the Oral History video (in 1996) or what

Sneed claims (in 1998) what he told him..... You were saying about morphing memories?

Correct. That's all just you trying to put words in my mouth. You are the one who is constantly jumping to conclusions, not I!

I am merely stating, for now, that Day was told to hand over the evidence to the FBI on Friday evening and he didn't.


what is the basis of your silly claim that Day didn't lift Oswald's print from the rifle?

Where exactly did I make that claim?

As per usual you are simply lying about what I allegedly have claimed. The truth is that you, rather foolishly, claimed that Oswald's print was found on the rifle. I merely pointed out that this is not true. Instead his print was found on an evidence card that was suddenly produced after Oswald's death when it was clear there wasn't going to be a trial. And that evidence card does not, in no way shape or form, confirm that Oswald's print was found on the rifle.

Btw, in the oral history video Day said that the FBI visited him at home to ask about the print on the evidence card, because they were puzzled about how Day could have lifted that print of the rifle after the weapon came back from Washington. Rather telling, don't you think?
