Exploiting mental illness was an element of the JFK assassination. I have written many times about the mental derangement of Jack Ruby, which was partly drug-induced. He got to the basement an hour early, where he was pounced upon by Police and taken up to the 5th floor. There, they told him that he shot Oswald, and he believed them out of a pathological deference to Authority. It's one thing to be compliant to Police, but to forego your own cognition because Police tell you that you did something is pathological.

Ruby said that he had no thought to shoot Oswald, and no memory of doing it. In other words, he was not aware that he shot Oswald, and he never had the slightest impulse to do it.

Even though it seems there are a lot of murders, the vast majority of people have an absolute aversion to killing people. There is a barrier within them that keeps them from doing it because they respect human life. Even if they hate someone, their aversion to killing is stronger than their hate. They still won't do it.

And you can be sure that Jack Ruby had that aversion to killing too. So, when, after he knew he had no intention, no impulse, and no capacity to commit murder, he accepted that he did JUST BECAUSE THE GOD-DAMN DALLAS POLICE TOLD HIM THAT HE DID, you can be sure that mental derangement was involved because that isn't normal. It's normal to trust your own cognitive awareness and your knowledge of yourself.

And what it says about the Dallas Police speaks volumes. They must have known that Ruby was mentally impaired and would be amenable to accepting that he shot Oswald JUST BECAUSE THEY TOLD HIM THAT HE DID IT. Do you think they would have tried that with anybody? Of course not.

It's very significant that we don't know the name of Ruby's doctor. We know the name of his rabbi, so why not his doctor? I mean the doctor who put him on amphetamines; calling them diet pills.

Jack Ruby was an MK-ULTRA asset of the CIA. There is no telling how long they were grooming him. And I bet that his doctor was a CIA doctor.

But, there was another case of mental defect involved, and that is Wesley Buell Frazier. Do you think I'm wrong about that? Then read Frazier's Warren Commission testimony. In it, Joseph Ball asked him where he was in the doorway, and Frazier said on the steps, one step down from the top, next to the handrail. That was early in the interview. But, later in the interview, Ball asked him why we don't see him in the Altgens photo, and this is what Frazier said when Ball showed him the Altgens photo:

Mr. BALL: Can you see your picture any place there?
Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir; I don't, because I was back up in this more or less black area here.
Mr. BALL I see.
Mr. FRAZIER - Because Billy, like I say, is two or three steps down in front of me.

So, Frazier contradicted himself, and Ball knew it. But, Ball also knew that Frazier was his witness - saying that Doorman was Lovelady - so, he wasn't going to call him on it.

And there's no doubt that Doorman is standing on the top level. There were no steps above him. And Lovelady said that he was on the top level. But, he didn't mean as Doorman, but rather, as the man next to Doorman with the blackened-out face who was visoring his eyes with his hands. That's who Lovelady was. Look at this image.

But, we need to seriously ponder Frazier's mental state at the time. I don't think he lied through his teeth. I think that he lost track of what he said earlier in the interview about being on the steps, one steps down from the top, next to the handrail. And that is where he was. So, when he claimed something else the second time, it's not that he frankly lied, it's that his mind didn't connect the two. He was in a different mental realm.

And it relates to the other things that happened. There is NO CHANCE that Oswald told Frazier that he was going to Irving to get curtain rods. Just think: he was going there to talk to his wife. Why would he need to tell Frazier any more than that? And why would Oswald's mind even go to curtain rods? How did he even know that Ruth Paine had curtain rods in her garage?

Oswald said that he never said that to Frazier, and his denial is far more credible and plausible than Frazier's claim that he did.

So, where did the idea of curtain rods come from if it didn't come from Oswald? I think that most likely it came from the Dallas Police. "Did he tell you that he was going there to get something, such as curtain rods?" Remember, they were threatening to charge Frazier as Oswald's accomplice. So, not being capable of conjuring up something himself, Frazier went along with what they suggested.

And the tendency that Frazier has to disassociate has continued his whole life. At one of the mock trials, Frazier said that Lovelady was very short. He estimated that his height was 5'2". That would be extremely short for a man. Lovelady was 5'8". The FBI measured him. And Frazier also said that, because of his short stature, Billy was having trouble seeing. So, Frazier said that, before the motorcade arrive, he urged him to go down to the bottom of the steps and watch the parade from the sidewalk. And he said that Billy did that. But, if that were true, then he couldn't be on the top landing as Doorman at the same time.

So, Frazier was destroying the whole claim that Lovelady was Doorman, but he was too incompetent to realize it. He still doesn't realize it- to this day.

I tell you, honestly, that I think Frazier is a nice man. And he was functional in his working life. He held various low-level jobs. He joined the Army in 1965. He did two stints, with an interval of civilian life in-between. He married and had a son. He divorced his wife and married another woman. But, there is nothing out of the ordinary about any of that. But, I sincerely believe that Frazier has a mild cognitive disorder in which he dissociates. He loses track of what he said, and he fails to see the internal contradictions in what he claims. He contextualizes everything to where he is oblivious to his own inconsistencies. The examples that I have given you should confirm what I am saying.

But, the big question is: did Frazier wind up at the TSBD, and living in Irving on the same block as Oswald's family, all by accident? I seriously doubt it, and I'll get into that next time.

 I have been involved in a discussion among about 50 JFK researchers, and one of them is Professor Sterling Harwood, J.D., Ph.D. He asked me a question to which I responded, and I am posting both here.

SH: So, if the contusion/injury to the apex of the right lung was from the shot entering JFK's throat, and the throat wound and back wound are two unconnected wounds, then why did the full body scan find no bullet or bullet fragments between the throat and the right lung?

RC: Sterling, I can answer that, although I know that some will find it hard to accept. But, you have to think outside the box on this. First, you are absolutely right that two missile wounds were found in JFK's body, one in his throat and one in his back, but neither contained a missile. And you know what happened after that, that they were declared to be one shot, which traversed him. So, there was a "Single Bullet Theory" even before Connally was added to it.

What I suggest to you is that it was all planned in advance, that they knew they were going to be making a shallow wound in JFK's back that contained no missile. And I'll add that not one of the multiple claims of a bullet being found that "fell out of him" are credible.

So, I tell you that they created the second hole, which was the one in his throat, precisely to create a story for what happened to the bullet that caused the first hole, which was the one in his back. Both the back shot and the throat shot involved non-bullets. The back shot involved an ice dart, which burst and melted upon entering him. So, it was gone in a flash. The throat missile was another kind of dart, often called a flechette, and I don't know what material it was made of. Charles Senseney never described the material. Sprague and Cutler referred to it as "plastic" but they never saw it. Fletcher Proudy did see it and described it as "plastic or nylon." But, that was a reference to how it looked. I'm thinking that it may have been some kind of waxy material or resin that would dissolve at internal body temperature.

But, one thing is for sure: there were two wounds from projectiles, but neither one contained a projectile.

Now, I realize that anyone hearing this for the first time is going to recoil because it's outside the box. It's way outside the box. But, you need to understand that what the autopsists found was weird and baffling: a bullet wound in JFK's back that had no bullet and was shorter than any metal bullet could have stopped. A metal bullet hitting the skin at 2000 feet per second cannot stop in an inch and a half. There is too much energy there that has to be dissipated before the bullet can stop. That resistance came from only one source: the resistance of JFK's tissues. Well, going through an inch and a half of skin, fascia, and muscle could never have dissipated all that energy. It would have taken more tissue than that.

And Dr. Perry was in JFK's throat just 10 minutes after he was shot, and what he found was a very small entrance wound, minimal damage to the trachea and a mild contusion in the apex of the right lung, and no missile. And he looked for one. He also looked for an exit wound but didn't find one.

So, to the people who think that JFK was shot in the throat with a bullet, what happened to it? Don't tell me it was dug out at the pre-autopsy because Dr. Perry was in JFK's throat before that, and there was no bullet there. If the pre-autopsists could find the bullet, then Dr. Perry could have and would have found it.

So, if you reject the Single Bullet Theory, and you should, what then explains the two shallow wounds in JFK's body with no missile in either one? What I am telling you explains it, that JFK was hit in the back with an ice dart that burst and dissolved right away. And he was struck in the throat with some other kind of "blood soluble" projectile (and that is the term the great JFK researcher Jack White used.) And that theory explains everything.

 I want to discuss the Single Bullet Theory, but I don’t mean the theory that a single bullet traversed Kennedy and Connally. I mean just that a single bullet traversed Kennedy; that the back wound and the throat wound were caused by the same bullet.

The first medical team that saw JFK were the Parland doctors. They didn’t discover the back wound, but as regards the throat wound, they thought, unequivocally, that it was an entrance wound. Dr. Perry spoke for them, and if you listen to his press conference, he was categorical that it was an entrance wound, and no other Parkland doctor challenged him.

It was the opposite at Bethesda, where they found the back wound but missed the throat wound. Dr. Humes thought it was just a tracheotomy in his neck, and it never dawned on him that there was a bullet wound there.

It’s very odd because JFK’s White House physician, Admiral George Burkley, was there, and he had also been at Parkland. So, why didn’t he tell Humes about the bullet wound in JFK’s throat? I can’t answer that.

But, they did find the back wound, and several of them probed it. They found no bullet inside the wound, and they also x-rayed JFK’s whole body and found no bullet within him. Nobody suggested at the autopsy that the bullet from the back wound came out his throat.

They didn’t dissect Kennedy to reveal the whole track of the back wound. There is an urban legend that they wanted to, but the admirals in the room wouldn’t let them.

But, the next morning, Humes talked to Perry and found out about the bullet wound in JFK’s throat. And that’s when the idea of a single bullet that traversed Kennedy was born.

I’m being facetious because I actually think that it was all planned in advance. The plotters knew that they were making a shallow wound in JFK’s back with the ice dart, and since the ice was going to melt, there was going to be no projectile there. And that’s why they also made a shallow wound in his throat, again with a dissolvable missile, but it wasn’t ice. And that would leave them with two shallow wounds and no missiles, which opened the door to concluding that a single bullet traversed Kennedy.

Again, I’m leaving out the part about Connally because that didn’t surface until April 1964.  

But, let’s go back to Humes talking to Perry and finding out about the throat wound. That is when he should have DEMANDED that he be allowed to go back in and track the back wound to find out, definitively, if it was connected to the throat wound. And, if necessary, he should have threatened them, that he would go on a nationwide tour denouncing the autopsy and accusing them of obstructing justice, if they wouldn’t let him do it. Of course, Humes wasn’t that kind of guy.

So, that is the context of what happened. But now, let’s talk about the medical context of JFK having a burrowing wound, a tunnel, from back to throat, entering adjacent to the midline in back and exiting in the midline in front, and the effect that that would have on him, and his capacities.

First, be aware that Dr. David Mantik told me that he analyzed it and determined that such a bullet path would have impacted the spinal cord. Obviously, if it had done that, it would have been devastating and JFK would have collapsed. Most of his somatic muscles would have been denervated, and very likely, he would have lost consciousness.  Obviously, that didn’t happen, and there is no evidence that ANY of JFK’s muscles lost their nerve supply.

There is no doubt that JFK’s spinal cord was not traumatized. But, a bullet entering the top of his back, adjacent to his spine, and exiting in the midline of his throat, would surely have gotten close to his spinal cord. So, in what condition would JFK be from that?

Even if the bullet didn’t hit his spinal cord, it would have burrowed through the nerve that emerge though the intervertebral foramina.

So, it starts as rootlets that emerge from the spinal cord. They coalesce into roots. Then the roots become a spinal ganglion. And then the spinal nerve, which contains both sensory and motor fibers, emerges from that and goes out to the body.

So, even if the bullet missed the spinal cord, it would still likely blow through the emerging nerve tissue and interrupt the transmission of nerve signals between the spinal cord and the body.

I am not aware that there has ever been another shooting victim with a traumatic wound like the one that, supposedly, happened to Kennedy.  So, we don’t have any comparable cases to compare it to. But, we can still deduce that, if Kennedy had been impacted in the manner claimed, that the consequences would have been dire, that his muscles would have been affected, that some muscles would have lost their innervation, and that his ability to sit upright would have been stalled.

From looking at the Zapruder film, we can see that Kennedy was highly impaired. He exhibited muscle spasms in which he lost control of his arms. He raised them in response to a respiratory obstruction from the throat shot, and he cleared that obstruction by coughing. But after that, he couldn’t put his arms down. That involved the deltoid muscles and the elbow flexion muscles, therefore the biceps and the brachialis. But, as he sat there, the spasticity spread to include the trapezius, the levator, and other muscles, causing him to hunch his shoulders severely. JFK also experienced a complete mental collapse, in which he lost the ability to speak, to communicate in any way, to be aware of his surroundings, to respond, or to take any kind of evasive or defensive action.

But, the question is: did he exhibit any sign of nerve interference, where the transmission of nerve signals from his central nervous system to his muscles was interrupted? And the answer is: no he did not. And I tell you that that disallows the single bullet theory, even as it applies to JFK alone.

So, I am left with the strong belief that JFK had two shallow wounds: one in his back and the other in his throat. The back wound involved no damage to vital tissue. It affected skin, fascia, and muscle, and nothing else. And the throat wound damaged the lower trachea on the left side (and keep in mind that the trachea is very superficial, that you can place your index finger at the bottom of your throat and touch it through the skin) and it also caused a mild contusion (which is a bruise) in the apex of his right lung. But, that it. That was the totality of his physical trauma until the fatal head shot. And that’s why he was able to continue sitting upright, with all his postural muscles working and all his other muscles working too.

So, the Single Bullet Theory, even as it applies to Kennedy alone, is a lie. Until the fatal head shot, JFK was hurt much less bad than Connally, who did have a traversing wound through his chest.

But, JFK did exhibit bizarre physical and mental aberrations, which we see in the Zapruder film. I tell you that they were caused, not by physical trauma, but by the nerve agent, and possibly other toxic agents, that were delivered by way of the back shot.

 Let's look at the big picture of what happened that weekend. First, Oswald was innocent and was standing in the doorway during the shooting. Believe it or not, the FBI quickly announced that the guy who looks like, and is dressed like Oswald, is actually Billy Lovelady, but they did not produce Lovelady, and sit him in front of a sea of cameras and mics to tell the world himself that he was Doorman, and they never provided any image of him either. Can you imagine claiming that someone looked so much like Oswald that his wife and kids mistook Oswald for him, but never provided his image so that people could see for themselves? The only one who published a photo of Lovelady was Mark Lane, and it was a photo he pirated. Eventually, Harold Weisberg got into the document pile of the Warren Commission and found the FBI photos of Lovelady and published them.

Jack Ruby was innocent too, and he was up on the 5th floor being minded by SS Agent Forrest Sorrels when the Garage Spectacle went down. Ruby got to the garage an hour earlier, and he told the Warren Commissioners that he sent his money wire at 10:17. That is in the transcript.

So, Ruby got there early, and the cops were there. And they jumped him, and he didn't know why. So, he started saying, "Hey, what are you doing? You know me. I'm Jack Ruby. I'm not some criminal." He admitted saying that, and detectives even said he said it. But, we know from the films that the Garage Schooter never spoke, and reporters said he never spoke. Ruby had hiw own private melee' with the cops an hour before. Then they hustled him upstairs and told him that he shot Oswald. Ruby was so out of it mentally, that he couldn't defend himself. And he had a pathological admiration and respect for the Dallas Police. They couldn't have gotten away with it if it had been you or me. And then, an hour later, they put on the show with FBI Agent James Bookhout filling in for Ruby. Then, it was easy enough for them to slip Ruby into the story later., in a classic bait and switch.

As for Kennedy, he was shot in the back high on the hill, and I mean right after the limo completed the turn from Houston. But, it wasn't a regular bullet, it was an ice bullet that contained a nerve agent, and maybe other drugs. We see the effect of the drugging in the Zapruder film, where Kennedy went into nerve agent spasms, and he suffered a complete mental breakdown, where he couldn't talk; he couldn't think; he couldn't communicate in any way; and he couldn't be aware. He was zombified.

So, the back shot was a prep shot. They absolutely did not want to kill him until he reached the Kill Zone, which started at the freeway sign. And it ended across from Zapruder, which is where the fatal head shot hit him. And right there at the start of the Kill Zone was Umbrella Man. What an amazing coincidence, since he was just an insurance agent who wasn't even looking for the motorcade. And yet, he wound up in the Kill Zone. What were the chances?

And using his Umberlla Gun, Umbrella Man shot the flechette into JFK's throat. He was definitely not Louie Steven Witt, but he may have been Fred Geb. Fred and his brother Ralph were both WW2 vets and career military, and they went to the same high school as LBJ's henchman Malcolm Wallace, and they were friends with him; close friends. Small world, isn't it?

And Mary Moorman was in the street facing up Elm as the Kennedys approached her, and she took her picture right at the time that JFK was shot in the throat by Umbrella Man. They swapped her picture out with one taken by Babushka Lady, who was an insider. It amounted to replacing Mary's picture of their faces with one of the back of their heads. How did they get her to accept that swap? I dare say it involved mind control plus the persuasive power of money. They damaged her valuable historical photo, so I say they must have brought a check for her. Nobody gets to damage someone's valuable property without compensationg them. The only thing Mary has said about it nothing. She said they never explained how the white thumbprint wound up on the photo. I suspect that the truth is that they had her sign an NDA. And even though in the Spring of 1964, she got into the street to demonstrate how she took her photo, facing up Elm, she started saying that she didn't get into the street, and that she didn't take her photo until the Kennedys were even with her. But, there is absolutely no doubt that the "Moorman photo" was taken on a diagonal angle from behind. And that's why it captured the backs of their heads. So the official story is that even though Mary waited for hours to take her picture, and even though she had them in her viewfinder from the time they rounded the corner from Houston, that she let them pass her and then photographed them from behind. Did I mention that not one of the 8 billion people on Earth would do that?

The United States government killed Kennedy and Oswald. It wasn't the whole government. It was a network from within the govenrment, consisting of what Vincent Salandria called "the national secruity state." So, it was the intelligence agencies, the Secret Service, the Vice President, the Joint Chiefs- that is who killed Kennedy. It wasn't Oswald. It wasn't the Mafia. It was the national security state.

 This is Part 2 of my takedown of the Evil Praymanites. They claim that Oswald was eating his cheese sandwich in the doorway, during the motorcade, at 12:30. Why would he do that? They were let off work early, at 11:45. We were told that it was precisely so that the employees could eat lunch and tidy up before the motorcade arrived. Who knows, maybe it was because they had to do things on the 6th floor like arrnage the boxes to build the Sniper's Nest. But, that's what we were told, and there is no reason to doubt that they did get off at 11:45. 

So, since Oswald got off at 11:45, why would he wait until 12:30 to eat? He hadn't eaten that day. According to Ruth Paine and Marina, the only thing he consumed before leaving for work was coffee. 

So, presumably, he was ready to eat. So, why wouldn't he? What else did he have to do in lieu of eating?  Why would he have postponed eating? In order to do what? 

And if he put off eating until 12:30, how did he spend that 45 minutes, and where did he spend it? Oswald told his interrogators that he spent the lunchbreak eating in the 1st floor lunch room, which is where he always ate. In this note by James Hosty, it appears that Oswald said that he went to the 2nd floor lunch room first to get a Coke, with which to wash down his lunch. A cheese sandwich can be rather dry, right? 

I can't think of any reason to doubt that Oswald did what the note said, which was eat his lunch early in the lunch break, and then go outside to watch the Presidential Parade. That's what P. Parade stands for.

So, why would he be eating at 12:30? He wouldn't. He couldn't. He didn't. It is just an Evil Prayermanite lie. 

And why would anyone be eating during JFK's motorcade? I mean, if it were say an Easter Parde or 4th of July Parade, you might be noshing on something as you watched. But, not when it's the President of the United States. We have footage of the entire 10 mile drive from Love Field, with all the huge, thick crowds that lined the streets, and I don't recall seeing anyone eating. And in Oswald's case, it is particularly ridiculous because he was given the opportunity to eat at a time when there was nothing distracting him or preventing him from using the time to eat. It is impossible to conjure up anything that would have prevented him from doing so. No, he was not writing a love letter to Judyth Baker, telling her how much he looked forward to running away to Mexico with her, abandoning his wife and kids. There is no reason to believe that Oswald ever met Judyth Baker, and there is no evidence that he did.  

So, if you are a sane and rational person, you are going to believe Oswald that he ate his lunch early in the lunch break in the Domino room and then he went outside, where we can see him in the Altgens photo and the Wiegman film. But, I mean as the Doorman, not as the shadowy figure that the Evil Praymanites conjured up and call Prayer Man. As I said in Part 1, there was no Prayer Man. He is an invention. Why did they invent him? They invented him to muddy the waters, to create a false rumor to draw people away from recognizing that Oswald was the Altgens Doorman and the first Wiegman Doorman. 

The 2nd Wiegman Doorman was another invention. There was no 2nd Wiegman Doorman. He is just a still image that was added to the film. The reason they added him was because Oswald had left for the lunch room, so there was no Doorman. Apparently, the commotion that caused Wiegman to do his second pan of the doorway concerned Oswald. I think it was Bill Shelley ordering Oswald to go to the lunch room. There must have been a bit of a scene there. 

So, Oswald was definitely not eating in the doorway, but he was in the doorway, and here are three images of him on 11/22. Left is an arrest photo; center is Wiegman; and right is Altgens. 

 There was no Prayer Man. Not only is the claim that Oswald was Prayer Man false, but the claim that there was a Prayer Man is false. 

Let's be thorough about this. Prayer Man is a figure who is supposedly seen in two films: the Wiegman film and the Darnell film. We are talking, of course, about the doorway of the Book Depository. 

First, we should acknowledge that the quality of the films is very poor, and I mean extremely poor. There is a photo that is derived from a frame of the Wiegman film which shows the doorway during Wiegman's second pan of it. Wiegman captured the doorway the first time just from rounding the corner. But then, after passing it, he swung back around and shot the doorway a second time. Now, why did he do that?  

We don't know. He never said. And nobody ever asked him. I tell you that he must have detected a commotion in the doorway. Why else would he have done it?  

The Wiegman film that we have today is EXTREMELY blurry. The clearest image we have from it is a still frame that was converted into a photo. It is an image of his second pan of the doorway. Here it is, and next to it I have put the corresponding frame from the Wiegman film that we have today, which is from a Youtube video. 

I don't know the source of the superior image on the left, but it's very existence tells me that there is a higher quality version of the Wiegman film in somebody's hands, presumably NBC. Congresswoman Anna Luna from Florida has been saying, for years, that NBC has a better quality Wiegman film that they have been hiding. 

But, the Youtube postings of the Wiegman film are all we have. The Prayermanites claim that in the black of the doorway between black man who is next to the column and the Doorman on our right is another person. Do you see anybody? I don't see anybody. So, why do they claim it? 

What those evil Prayermanites did is post a Photoshopped image from the Wiegman film in which they added Prayer Man. 

 Do you think that is a bold statement? It is not. The Prayermanites admit it themselves. A 2024 Prayer Man analysis says that it examined eight Wiegman frames and that seven failed to show Prayer Man with sufficient clarity and detail. It then singled out one lone frame as the promising one. Then, that one frame was subjected to "light/clarity adjustments, AI-powered enlargement, noise cancellation, desaturation, contrast adjustment, and histogram manipulation." In other words, it was Photoshopped, and I'm using that term generically for image manipulation using software. 

The only thing that matters is what we can see in the Wiegman film. And the Prayermanites can't show you a version of the Wiegman film that looks like what they are claiming.  All they show is the doctored frame. And since you can't see it in the Wiegman film, there is no reason to believe or accept any of it.  

And consider that the Prayermanites have been around for a long time, probably 15 years. And they have always claimed that the Wiegman film shows Prayer Man. But, if they didn't do their image enhancement using AI until recently (2024), how were they claiming it in the beginning before there was AI?  

Do you think the Prayermanites have a better version of the Wiegman film? How could they have any version of it? It's not like you can buy it. I think they started with the same still frame that I showed you that is relatively sharp, and they applied their machinations to it. There is no reason to believe that their doctored frame is legitimate. If you are going to accept their doctored image, you might as well get your checkbook out to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.   

The bottom line is that the Wiegman film, as it appears on Youtube, is all there is. It's all we have. It is the only access we have to the Wiegman film. And the only way we can confirm what is in the film is by viewing the film. We can't trust anybody's still-frames of it because it is too easy to alter them. 

Prayer Man being in the Wiegman film is something we must reject outright, if we are honest and smart.  

The only other place the evil Prayermanites claim shows Prayer Man is the Darnell film, and I will cover that next time, and it is a humdinger of a story. And when I'm through, you'll understand why I call them the Evil Prayermanites.  

 Watch the Midnight Press Conference again with your focus on one thing: does Oswald sound sane? It is a very pertinent question because he would have had to be completely insane to shoot Kennedy. So, does he sound sane or insane?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CK_xxne2WE

I tell you that he sounds so sane that they put a lot of noise over him trying to diminish his composure, steadiness, and grounded self-control. He showed a lot of equanimity and self-possession, despite the extraordinary situation he was in.

And if we look at Oswald's life at the time, his objectives are clear and sane. He wanted to get his family back under his roof. He wanted to find a better job. He wanted to acquire a driver's license. For him to destroy his entire life by shooting Kennedy goes beyond insane. It goes to the realm of the totally inexplicable and imponderable. Not only did Oswald have no reason to shoot Kennedy; and no benefit from shooting Kennedy, but there is no credible and coherent basis to assume he would derive any satisfaction from shooting Kennedy.

And notice how passionate he sounded in asking for a lawyer. He was imploring the whole world to get him a lawyer. Do you really think that just 18 hours later, when he was offered one, that he just shrugged and said no? I know that's what we've been told, but this is the JFK assassination, and everything weve been told has to be scrutinized and challenged.

And especially if you defend Oswald, if you deny that he killed Kennedy, it is your responsibility to defend his sanity too.

And consider that in the weeks before the assassination, there is no basis to claim that Oswald was focused on Kennedy at all. And he could not have had any expectation of seeing Kennedy. So, theoretically, and we don't know that this happened, if he was browsing the newspaper on, say, the Tuesday, and saw the motorcade route, that he instantly got the compulsion to kill Kennedy? Without any progression? Without any bridge? Without any preliminaries whatsoever?

The plotters knew they had a credibility problem that way, and that's why they conjured up the Walker shooting attempt. But, the credibility of the Walker story is every bit as bad, with the bullet dug out of Walker's window not matching Oswald's supposed bullet, and witnesses seeing two culprits, each driving off in their own car. And Marina was involved too because supposedly she knew that her husband was a homicidal maniac, and yet, she not only didn't inform the police, but she followed him down to New Orleans to live with him, after knowing about it, and also subjecting her daughter to him.

I get it that women have been known to forgive men for violent acts, such as slugging them in a drunken rage. But, shooting at Walker was different because there was no personal connection and no immediate provocation to provide even a rudimentary explanation for it.

And why wasn't Marina charged for failing to report a felony if she knew Oswald had shot at Walker?

But, let's get back to the MPC where Oswald came across as lucid, rational, and sane. He devoted his whole speech to not just pleading for a lawyer BUT PROTESTING THAT THE DALLAS POLICE WERE DENYING HIM ONE. So, after doing that, how could he say no when offered a lawyer? Such a reversal would have been a mental break in itself. Again, there is no basis to think that Oswald was in such a mental state.

The man we hear in the Midnight Press Conference appears lucid, rational, purposeful, and remarkably self-possessed. His known concerns immediately before November 22 appear overwhelmingly directed toward ordinary, rational personal pursuits. There is no clearly demonstrated progression toward killing Kennedy. The alleged route discovery supplies no obvious psychological bridge. The Walker episode is offered to supply that bridge, but itself presents serious evidentiary and behavioral questions. And his urgent demand for a lawyer creates an additional question about the subsequent claim that he rejected legal assistance.

There is something terribly wrong with the story that H Louis Nichols met with Oswald- the real Oswald- who rejected his offer of a lawyer. I am asking you to doubt it, on principle, knowing that Oswald was sane. But then, when you look at the specifics of the Nichols' story, especially the timeline of it, you will realize that it never happened, that Nichols met with someone, but it wasn't the Lee Harvey Oswald of fame.
