I bet you that even before the assassination, the higher operatives only talked about it in code. But, after the assassination, forget about it. They never talked about what really happened again. From that moment on: Oswald killed Kennedy as a lone gunman. Period. That became the reality, the only reality, the complete reality. And these people were disciplined. Even in their most private moments, they didn't articulate anything about what really happened.  

And that's why it is ridiculous to think that the Warren Commission concocted all that testimony for Lovelady. Who would have ordered such a thing? Dulles? Ford? McCloy? Warren himself? 

You can't even picture them talking about it, never mind doing it. 

What I'm telling you is that for these people, when they discussed the assassination or the investigation, it was as though Oswald really did it. But, once you start fabricating whole swaths of testimony, it's an admission that Oswald didn't do it and that you're framing him. They were never going to admit that. They were never even going to begin to have that conversation.  For the way their discourse went, Oswald might as well have been guilty. 

And, it's one thing to change a word or two in a testimony, but to concoct pages of it? That would be extremely difficult and it would take a most gifted screenwriter. Remember: it has to sound natural; it has to sound spontaneous; it has to sound real. You think it's easy to do that? Well, as someone who has written two screenplays, I can tell you that it's hard. 

But, this would have been infinitely harder because most of the time when you're inventing dialogue, it's for fictitious characters, and you can make them out any way you want. But, Billy Lovelady was a real person. You'd have to know him- and know him well- in order to get him. 

Look: it is just plain ridiculous to think that the Warren Commission invented all that testimony. Certainly none of the Commissioners did it- they would not have had the ability. They would have had to hire a professional writer- and an extremely good one. And the mere arranging of all that would have entailed far more disclosure of what was really going on than they ever would have allowed. 

As I said, in advocating this, Joseph Backes is whacked. It's like he was whacked in the head with a proscenium arch. 

And notice something: as stupid and childish as he is, bpete hasn't endorsed this. The dungeonmaster Lance Uppercut hasn't endorsed this. Fawning sycophants Klip Klop and O'Blase' haven't endorsed this. Nobody has endorsed this. Why? It's because it's stupid, and even the bloodied can see it.
