No, Backes. It's not that I think Joseph Ball and David Belin were good guys. It's just that I don't think they were good screenwriters either. Nor could anyone else on the Warren Commission have written that testimony.
And, they wouldn't have taken that approach anyway. They started with the decision that Oswald killed Kennedy and Tippit, and they worked backwards from there. And it's true that they were never going to allow anyone to say anything that was truly devastating to the official story, such as seeing Oswald in the doorway.
But, they weren't going to make up whole swaths of testimony. They were smarter than that, which is to say, a lot smarter than you. They knew that doing that could have come back to haunt them. What if some investigator approached Lovelady to confirm the trek to the tracks? And what if Lovelady said, "What trek to the tracks? I never said that."
They were never going to take a chance like that.
The Warren Commission investigation was a show trial, a Stalinist show trial. But, it was done with an air of propriety, lawfulness, and, dare I say, integrity. So, they were never going to concoct false testimonies on the scale that you imagine. That's ridiculous.
Just check with Robin Unger and B Pete. They'll tell you that they didn't do it.
So, who are you talking to, Backes? Because you're not talking to them, and you're talking to me. And no one else is listening.
