The Carcano: What Oswald Apologists don't want to hear

[John Iacoletti]

And here we go again, the hardcore CT's realizing how incriminating the backyard photos are, have no choice but to ignore the advanced scientific techniques proving their authenticity.

"advanced scientific techniques proving their authenticity".  LOL.

The backyard photos aren't the slightest bit incriminating.

If parts of Oswald's shirt were sun-struck, they could appear light in tone and "khaki". (The small insets are from pictures of Oswald's shirt.)

So now the shooter is positioned sideways right next to the window in front of the boxes.  This just keeps getting better!

[John Iacoletti]

Yes, the FBI and Dallas Police and Secret Service and others joined up with waitresses and steamfitters and cab drivers and warehouse workers - all of this orchestrated by the nefarious "they" and "them"  - to murder the president in broad daylight in the middle of the street with hundreds of people watching - some with cameras and frame an innocent man.

Some folks simply can't accept the facts... The fact is Howard Brennan swore that the man he saw aiming a rifle out of a sixth floor window was much heavier that the skinny Lee Oswald.....and Brennan said the man was dressed in light colored clothing , Lee never even owned any khaki clothing like that described by Brennan....   Lee was dressed in dark colored clothing that day....

But on the point about the shooter sitting ( kneeling ? squatting?) The Lner's want to say that It was Lee Oswald and he was firing from BEHIND a stack of Rolling Readers boxes....and Howard Brennan couldn't even have seen the shooter....   BUT Brennan swore that the man was STANDING and bracing the rifle against the side of the window.  So that stance negates the LNer's fantasy that Lee was sitting behind those Rolling readers boxes.

Also, neither Brennan, nor Amos Euins saw any scope on the rifle protruding out the window.

Neither  Bob Jackson nor Malcolm Couch saw any scope

All 4 of these “rifle seen sticking out the window” witnesses were closer to the gunman at the SE window than Arnold Rowland was to a man seen by Rowland at the SW window at 12:15 and  Rowland WAS able to see a scope.

"advanced scientific techniques proving their authenticity".  LOL.

The HSCA devoted 88 pages discussing the backyard photos and used photogrammetry, microscopic grain examination, lens distortion analysis, camera created artefacts, stereoscopic techniques, vanishing point inspection, shadow evaluation, etc etc  whereas the Conspiracy Believers simply say "that doesn't look right" so they must be fake.

Btw putting an "LOL" after any fact that you object to is extremely juvenile and proves absolutely nothing but it does reinforce your lack of knowledge and/or expertise, so keep it up Johnny boy!

Then some of the most distinguished men in America, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, all agreed to cover all of this up. For more than half a century.

Why would they do this? Well, Vietnam or civil rights or oil depletion allowance or something.

But the real concern is the psychological well-being of the people who don't believe this? Sorry, no.

Oswald just happened to have a Carcano rifle and it just happened to have a couple of notches that sorta' resembled the ones on the rifle recovered from the sniper's nest. But, no, they were different. "It doesn't look the same". The experts were wrong. Because "LOL."

Sure, maybe they were wrong. But just dismissing it with the juvenile "LOL" isn't showing it.

Poor Oswald. He just decided to leave his money to Marina that day, he just decided to leave his wedding ring, he just decided to bring curtain rods to work, he just decided to leave the building shortly after the assassination, he just decided to go see a move and not watch the TV, he just decided, he just decided, he just decided, he just decided.....

Lots of people "just decide" to do things like that and Oswald was just like lots of other people. Except Oswald was not like lots of people (he defected to the USSR for example) and he did all of those things not some of them.
