In the CTer "mind" every oddity must have a sinister explanation. Imagine the conspirators telling this umbrella guy that his role is to stand out in the open, near the line of fire, and signal the shooters. So conspicuous that we are still talking about him 60 years later. And, as you correctly point out, a sniper wouldn't need to be prompted on when to fire. See JFK, shoot JFK would have carried the day.
And also, imagine the conspirator's horror at the first shot (from behind) missing the target altogether. Let's say that if this was a professional assassination, military style, where you want to control every detail. The military employs a team commander (apparently) when it has to go to plan. This is important, to have
almost complete knowledge of what actually happened in the efforts to kill JFK. How many bullets struck the target, and where -- precisely -- so someone, or maybe two, are spotters. They are tasked with #1 identifying a clear kill shot - either signalling a) for more shots until task completed b) no more shots. #2 visually, up close, identifying any shots that hit the target, even filming the bullet strikes (Umbrella and DCM were both unflinchingly the closest people to the assassination target). If you've already got a story planned out, then the role of the two very strange person's that were stood the closest to JFK, as shots were being let off, and not ever flinching and seeking cover. In fact, pumping the umbrella up/down, was recorded on film. Both men casually waited at the curb after JFK's head was blown to pieces. They both made they way from the plaza.
Some guy shot the president from behind from a high window is the narrative. But yet DCM recorded the 'event' on film. On his camera and never came forwards with his evidence, logical? These two people never came forwards. For over ten years the supposed Umbrella Man did nothing, told no one, and came forwards because an investigation into him was started.
So somewhere out 'there' someone saw copies of this person's photograph, or recording of the assassination of JFK. Photographic evidence from the closest angle of the day. From 20ft away it was observed on film shot's blasting into JFK's throat. But no film has ever come to light. NO DCM guy came forwards with that film.
Oh and later that day the same guy that
might have the most sought after piece of photographic footage of the assassination of JFK turns up outside the Texas Schoolbook Depository building about an hour later. No questions asked, not challenged, apparently not forthcoming with his evidence? or was it suppressed!?
Maybe the DCM guy even went to Parkland hospital to report the damage to JFK's body and give an early heads up to the those that wanted know where to look for damage, evidence of bullet(s), for the autopsy.
And what the hell does it matter if they did all this in the public eye. So what if they're captured on film doing weird spombleprofglidnoctobuns at the very moment JFK was blown away. So what if Fletcher Prouty says the guy he spent 8 years sharing an office at the Pentagon was captured on film outside the TSBD with the three tramps and DCM guy. It never got officially investigated whilst Lansdale was alive and living. No one ever talked to Rip Robertson and John O'Hare and asked them to confirm or deny if they were the two men in dealey plaza loitering around almost exactly where Umbrella Man stood as JFK was shot dead. No one ever asked Rip Robertson if he was the guy that was stood almost right on the spot (about 10 minutes after) a guy with an umbrella was acting strange,
might have participated in the assassination of JFK, and if he was filmed in 1964 in Congo on the 24th of November (what are the chances) holding an umbrella up and clutching a bottle of booze in his other hand.
USA always lies to the world and gets away with it. Iraq, for instance. The dumbest thing about what Richard Smith claims is soo far out there, so wacky, is that what happened in dealey plaza, with the weird spombleprofglidnoctobuns Umbrella Man and DCM did, with hindsight, it is nothing -- just jackspombleprofglidnoctobuns. When you compare it to what USA's 'forces' have managed to successfully (depending on your view) pull off in recent years. What has happened in the last 30 years, much recent events, tragedies, events I'd say which were successful because of what happened to JFK. These events, Iraq war, Libya, 9/11, Syria, Iran/Contra, all the various mass shootings around the USA, the political scandals, all of these are pushed aside and not properly investigated. There has been very little truthful scrutiny in the mainstream media, they've failed to inform the American people of what really happened, in almost every case. The media in USA does very little to challenge the
official narrative, American's are brainwashed. I don't see jail terms for the conspiracy participants, yeah, every now and then a few dopes like Oliver North take one for the team. Nothing ever happens in USA.
It's almost laughable when American's think the assassination of JFK by his own military and government agency employees is an unthinkable image -- that is if it wasn't for the fact it could be so sickeningly real.
