A minor debacle developed over LBJ in the Altgens photo. He can't be seen in it. And since he can't be seen in it, the story became that he got down on the floor of the convertible. Actually, he was blackened out because he was scooting down, making sure his head was lower than the back of the seat, to make sure he wasn't hit by a stray bullet. And since that would have looked bad, they took him out of the photo.

However, they couldn't admit that they tampered with the photo, so the story became that he was sprawled down on the floor of the car. And since that idea was just as bad, or even worse than what happened, the story became that it wasn't his doing, that Rufus Youngblood, his Secret Service agent, grabbed him and thrust him down and then got on top of him.

It's funny if you think about it: these two big men sprawled on the floor of the car, one on top of the other, right over the feet of Lady Bird and Senator Youngblood.

But, rest assured that that did not happen. However, that didn't stop LBJ from holding a ceremony to honor Youngblood for his brave, selfless action in the line of duty. They did it at the White House, with all the pomp and circumstance. Even Youngblood's wife and kids were there to celebrate his greatness, although all an effinn' lie.

I suspect that the Altgens photo is the most altered photo in the history of photography. It's amazing what Brugioni's team got done in just 5 hours. That's how much time they had: from 12:30 to 5:30 Central when Walter Cronkite showed it on national television for the first time.

I am reminded of the old adage: Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we venture to deceive.

I know it’s hard for people to accept that the Dallas Police killed Oswald and framed the hapless, hopeless Jack Ruby.  Even Ruby’s lawyers didn’t figure it out, or get close to figuring it out, even though they were given hints. They had Ruby telling them that he had no thought of shooting Oswald-ever; and neither did he have any memory of doing it. His whole basis for accepting that he did it was the Dallas Police telling him that he did.

Then, they had another big clue. It was the fact that the photos showed that the Shooter used his middle finger to pull the trigger. Why would Jack Ruby do that? His lawyers asked him why he did it, and his response was that since he had no thought or memory of doing it, he had no idea why he used his middle finger.

Handguns are designed to fit your hand using the index finger as the trigger finger. Even little kids, when they’re playing cops and robbers, get it that they pretend-shoot their toy guns using their index finger on the trigger.  The fact was that Ruby’s left index finger was partially amputated. It is extremely likely, bordering on certain, that the people who staged this had the wrong information. They, apparently, believed that Ruby’s right index finger was the one amputated. Hence, they had James Bookhout use his middle finger.

There are several other facts that should help you get over the mental illness that I call “Americana” which is the belief that police committing cold-blooded murder doesn’t happen in America because this is America.

1 Ruby could not have had any intention of shooting Oswald because if he did, he would have showed up on time, that time being 10 AM. And Ruby said that not only did he have no intention of shooting Oswald, but he had no intention of even seeing him. So, all that leaves is that it was, for Ruby, a sudden impulse. But if so, why didn’t he remember it? How could it possibly have happened without him knowing it and recalling it?

2 The Dallas Police lied. Jim Leavelle lied through his teeth. He said that he recognized Ruby in the garage and saw him closing in. He said that he tried to jerk Oswald behind him to protect him. He made no such jerk. It was a complete lie. And then he said that he thumped Ruby on his left shoulder with the heel of his right hand. He did not. That was another complete lie. Then, when he was asked on 11/24 who helped him carry Oswald into the Jail Office, he stammered and hesitated and then said that he couldn’t remember. Now, that is ridiculous, and surely you agree. The reason he didn’t want to cite anyone is because it was no one. No one helped him carry Oswald into the Jail Office because he didn’t carry Oswald into the Jail Office. Oswald got up and went in on his power. And since Leavelle was handcuffed to Oswald, how could he lift him? Since his left wrist was tied to Oswald’s right wrist, it meant that anywhere Leavelle’s left wrist went, Oswald’s right wrist had to go. So, how could Leavelle get his hands underneath Oswald to pick him up when he was handcuffed to him?

And if anyone wants to do an experiment in which they handcuff themselves to someone and then try to pick them up and carry them, be my guest.

But, let’s go on with the police lies. All the detectives said that Oswald remained unconscious the whole time in the Jail Office. That is all except one. Detective Combest, alone, said that Oswald was conscious, that he opened his eyes, and he was responsive. Combest said that, in trying to get a confession from Oswald, he asked him if he had a statement to make-before it was too late. And Combest said that Oswald shoot his head “no.” Now, if that were true, don’t you think that other detectives would have seen it? Combest was also asked who carried Oswald into the Jail Office, and he said it was him, Leavelle, and Graves. Graves? Graves went with Bookhout. He was one of the Penguins who was hustling Bookhout through the corner door and keeping him covered up. And Graves himself said so. He said that he didn’t see Oswald again until he was lying on the floor in the Jail Office, and that he did NOT help carry him in.  And he said that Oswald was completely unresponsive.

Another liar was Detective Elmer Boyd. He claimed that he watched the Oswald shooting on television when he was having Sunday brunch at his in-laws’ house. That was a lie. He was there. We have an image of him hovering with the Shooter on the 3^rd floor, and with him was his partner Richard Sims, and another detective whose name was Hall. I’m attaching that image. It was taken just minutes after the shooting. The man in the middle is supposed to be Jack Ruby, but he is obviously not Jack Ruby.

3 The lying cops were the only ones who claimed to recognize Ruby in the garage. None of the reporters or cameramen claimed it. One of the reporters was Hugh Aynesworth who knew Ruby very well. He had eaten lunch with Ruby that week. Even though he saw the shooter zipping by, he didn’t know he was Jack Ruby until the police announced it. He did NOT recognize Ruby in the garage.

Now, I’ll point out that, as the years passed, that some of the men who were there, in talking about it would say things like, “and then I saw Ruby come out.”  But, what they meant was that, “and then I saw the man, who I later learned was Jack Ruby, come out.”

 4. Consider the suit that Leavelle wore: an Easter suit. Yeah, he came dressed up as the Easter Bunny. Why? I believe it was to create color contrast between him and Oswald. They put Oswald in black and him in white, so to speak. That way, it would help guide the Shooter. And Leavelle wore that suit on Saturday too. So, on Friday. the President of the United States, and his very good friend JD Tippit got murdered, yet, on Saturday he decided to wear an Easter suit? And then again on Sunday?

5 Dallas Police claimed to get over 100 phone calls threatening to kill Oswald. There is even a photo of Leavelle and others manning the phones, like at a PBS fundraiser. Do you believe that people called in that way? If you intended to kill Oswald, for what reason would you inform the police? And the police said over and over, on the radio, that they feared the attack would come during the Jail Transfer. Then why do it? Why not transfer Oswald in the dead of night without telling the public anything? You could tell them afterwards. Why did they have to make a public spectacle out of it?

6 There are people who believe that the Dallas Police conspired WITH Jack Ruby to kill Oswald. But, nobody in his right mind would trust Jack Ruby to do that. We’re talking about shooting somebody in a very small, crowded space, loaded with police. In other words, Ruby would be shooting in their direction. Jack Ruby was a nitwit. He was a scatterbrain. He was a character. He was like Lou Costello. Nobody in his right mind would have trusted Jack Ruby to do a shooting.  He was a nincompoop, and they knew it.

The idea that they would get Jack Ruby to do it is ridiculous in the first place. But, in the second place, how could they trust him to keep his mouth shut? Remember, it was going to be followed by them arresting him, charging him, prosecuting him, testifying against him, in an effort to secure a death sentence so that they could electrocute him. What if Ruby woke up one morning and decided that he had enough of that and was going to spill the beans on them? Do you think they were going to go to bed every night knowing that Ruby could betray them to his lawyers at any time? A cooperative conspiracy between the Dallas Police and Jack Ruby is absurd.

7. Ruby claimed to speak during the melee. “What are you doing? You know me. I’m Jack Ruby. I’m not some criminal. I’m not wanted.” And the cops also said that he did. But, we have the films, and the Shooter spoke or tried to speak. And nobody in the garage, other than the cops, said that the Shooter spoke. The reporters said he never did, and he didn’t.

We’re talking about two separate events, separated by about an hour. The first was the taking of Jack Ruby. He got to the basement much earlier than reported. He told the Warren Commissioners that he sent his money wire at 10:15. Of course, he was corrected right away, and by a Secret Service agent who was in San Francisco on the day it happened.  But, Ruby really did send it at 10:15.

So, that is when they grabbed Ruby, and they hustled him upstairs. And after that, they placed Roy Vaughn at the Main Street ramp. He had no idea that he was being set up. Vaughn was adamant that Ruby did not get past him. And Vaughn was no slouch. He went on to become the Chief of Police of the city of Midlothian, Texas. And after that, he became a municipal judge for 13 years, until his death. Vaughn was right that Ruby did not get past him. The whole bit at that ramp was a magnet for Ruby. It was an incoming ramp. So, why were people gathered there? Who were they waiting to see arrive? Nobody. So, it made no sense for them to even  be there. But, the stumbling, bumbling, drug-wrecked Ruby got there early and no doubt was coaxed down the ramp. And with Ruby tucked away on the 5^th floor, they put on the spectacle in the basement, and it was for television.

Make no mistake: Oswald was killed that day. There is no chance that he was let go. But, he was shot afterwards, He was not shot in the garage. They needed a surgically precise shot, and that is what they got. I’ve got to hand it to them. They knew what they were doing about that. They were out to get Oswald to bleed, and he bled so much, internally, that Parkland doctors had to replace his entire blood volume. But, even that couldn’t save him.

How long have you believed that Oswald was innocent? Well, it’s time that you start believing that Ruby was innocent too.

 Here, Detective Miller puts something over Bookhout's head after his hat fell off. The Penguins pause a bit for him to do that. 

 The gunblast has already gone off in this picture. Oswald has been shot, and he responded by slapping his arm to his chest (although we don't see that in the films). He's also writhing in pain and moaning. But, Detective Roy Lowery, on the left, is still clasping his hands in front like a Jehovah's Witness at the door. And notice how perfectly relaxed and settled he looks, like he's going nowhere. Did I mention that a gunblast has just gone off?

And Leonid Brezhnev, on the right, filling in for Blackie Harrison, is still puffing his cigar like he was Groucho Marx. That's what he's doing with his left hand. With his right hand, he is reaching for the gun to disarm the gunman. Who says you can't do two things at once?

Then, you've got the cop in back who is looking at the camera, frozen like a deer in the headlights.

There is nothing real about this. It is a staged photo, a propaganda photo, that was created because Jack Ruby did not shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. Stop believing the lie that he did. We were conned for 60 years. Isn't that enough?

 Dee McFarlane found another gem, which is SS Agent Mike Howard waxing on about his handling of Marina Oswald and taking her to the hospital. Before I tell you what he said, I am going to tell you that guys like him and Jim Leavelle, they were telling and repeating their lies so many times over not just years but decades, that, on some level, they may have come to believe what they were saying. It's almost like a conversion, a religious conversion.

But, this was very revealing. First, Howard claimed that Marina got to speak to Oswald on Friday night. That is not part of the story. The story goes that she got to see him on Saturday. But, Howard claimed that he took her up to see Oswald, and he observed their conversation. He claimed that Oswald balled her out for speaking Russian, that he said, you're in America now, so you have to speak English. Now, I ask you, at a time like that, when he was being accused of murdering two men, do you think he would fuss about her speaking Russian? Plus, there are other claims that he preferred that they communicate in Russian. Mary Bledsoe said that when Oswald was staying with her that every night he spoke to his wife on the phone in Russian. And just think of the advantage of him and Marina conversing in Russian at the pd; it gave them privacy. So, should we believe a word of what Howard said? No.

So, what I'm saying is that this is an example of made-up story that was told and retold to colorize, and by that point, Howard was probably incapable of distinguishing lies from truth, which was also true of Leavelle.

Howard said that he got the order on Friday evening to place Marina in "protective custody" and that it came from LBJ. Of course, he repeated the story that she was in danger, and they were protecting her. But, there is no evidence that she was in danger. They made it up. But, there was an important legal issue, and that is that they were charging and prosecuting Oswald for double murder, and Henry Wade announced on Friday evening that he would pursue the death penalty. Well, you cannot confiscate a man's wife when you're doing that. She is, by law, his witness. It's presumed that she will be his witness, and she cannot be asked to divulge any communications between them. It's called spousal privilege. How dare they confiscate the man's wife, and without even asking him or telling him?

So, Howard said he got the order from Sorrels to pick up Marina. But, this was after she left on Friday evening. And since Dallas Police drove her to the PD on Friday, I presume they returned her to Irving. And then, Howard just glibly said that "we found out on Saturday that some reporters had set her up at the Executive Inn on the outskirts of town." How could anyone just say that? Why were reporters relocating her? And how did he find out about it? Did the reporters call him afterwards? How could they possibly have done that? So, this is an example of a glib story that is just tossed out even though it lacks any explanation. It's completely apart from anything tangible.

Anyway, after finding out about the Executive Inn, he said that he and another agent went out there, and they spent the night, taking turns guarding the rooms. Then, early the next morning, Sunday, they got them and took them out for some food. And then, they started driving to the Inn of the Six Flags. Well, that isn't the reported story either. The reported story is that they took them to Chief Currie's house, where she called Ruth Paine and asked her to pack her stuff. But, in this telling, Howard left that out completely.

Then, he said that they heard on the police radio that Oswald was shot. Well, Oswald was shot at 11:20, and he wasn't declared dead until about 1:00. He said Marina said she wanted to go see him. But, if that were true, they would have gotten there when Oswald was still alive. But, that isn't part of the story either.

So then, Howard said that he took Marina and Marguerite to Parkland hospital, and they went in the same entrance that JFK did. That can't be true. We have the photo, including the one of Marguerite hugging the pretzel cannister, and they are obviously not at the entrance of Parkland Hospital as per Kennedy.

And then he said that when they saw the body, that she wanted to know about his swollen eye, not anything else. But wait. That doesn't make sense. According to him, she saw Oswald both on Friday evening and on Saturday, and she talked to him. So, she already knew about the swollen eye because he had it then. If she was curious about that, she would have asked him about it. So, how could she act surprised to see it on Sunday, especially with what had just happened to him? By that point, wasn't the swollen eye like ancient history? Yet, according to Howard, that's all Marina wanted to ask about.

Here's the link. His part about Marina starts at 1:24:40.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2wvG6Yi71Y

Howard claimed that he attended an Oswald interrogation on Friday evening, but the only SS agent reported to have attended any was Forrest Sorrels. And every Oswald interrogation was led by Captain Will Fritz. It was a police interrogation, not a Secret Service interrogation. What Howard said here was all horse shit that he was spewing glibly because he had been doing it for so long.

"We found these people (Marina and Marguerite). The News media had them in a room at the Executive Inn..."

How the mother-flook could he just say that as if it was coherent? It was not coherent. And how can people be so stupid as to hear him glibly say it and be content with it, as if there's nothing missing, as if it makes complete sense? It doesn't make any sense.

 

You can hear the reporter say, "The fear arises and grows stronger that someone may attempt to take the life of the man accused of murdering the President of the United States." 

Living History with Rio Sam Pierce - YouTube

Isn't that a bit too obvious? And isn't it a bit too dramatic? To me, it's like something out of vaudeville. They were setting up the public to expect that something would happen to Oswald because they knew that something was going to happen to him.

The Dallas Police and FBI orchestrated the shooting of Oswald, and they knew they were only going to get one chance. If Oswald had survived the shooting; if doctors had been able to save him, it's not as though the cops could do it again, or stage some other way for him to die. Even the dumbest pluck who just fell off the turnip truck would cry, "No way!" if it happened again.

So, they had to make sure it was lethal, and the way they did that was to hit his major blood vessels, his aorta, vena cava, and superior mesenteric artery. To that end, it was a downward shot. The bullet entered Oswald at the 7th rib, and it came to rest under the skin at the 11th rib. You know that the 11th rib is a lot lower than the 7th rib. For the Garage Shooter to have done that, he would have had to raise his elbow up and shot down into Oswald. Of course, he didn't do that, and you wouldn't expect him to. You expect that he would just point the gun at Oswald and fire.

But, the fact is that there was no shooting at all in the garage. It was all an act. And Oswald was in on it. I'm sure he moved into the Jail Office on his own power. And that's why when Leavelle was asked on 11/24 who helped him carry Oswald into the Jail Office, he stammered and said he couldn't remember. Of course, because it was nobody.

I think what really happened is that once they got inside, somebody plunged a syringe with a strong sedative into Oswald, and he passed out. Then, they carried him into a room and lied him down on a table. They had silencers for 38s in 1963. The shot was taken with surgical precision to do the maximum damage and rupture his largest blood vessels.

And ironically, the same thing happened months later when JFK's lover, Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered. The assassin put the gun to her back and angled the shot so as to strike her aorta. And that killed her very quickly. So, that too was a precision shot with a very specific intention.

Anyway, listen to the reporter prepare everyone for what was coming. And I don't say that he was in on it. He was just reciting a script that he was given. But, if they were that fearful of an attack, why were they doing it? Why didn't they just wait and move Oswald without any fanfare in the dead of night? It's because killing him was the whole purpose of the jail transfer. It was that, and only that.

 Dee McFarlane pointed me to something that I consider very big. Ex-officer Napolean Daniels did an interview with Mark Lane in which he said that he was there at the Main Street ramp on Sunday, November 24, and he saw Ruby enter. Lane asked him to describe Ruby and asked specifically about his hair. Daniels said that Ruby's hair was brown but he was bald on top.

https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxLS855g7ZffPHFRuoVbO9mk2vomnuMFbg

Right away, Dee wondered, "What about Ruby's hat?" Did he not wear one? From this, we would have to conclude that he didn't. And that's not surprising because there are very few images of Ruby wearing a hat. Usually he didn't. I've only seen one image of Ruby wearing a hat. Note that when Ruby went to the DPD on Friday evening, he did not wear a hat.

But, the Garage Shooter definitely wore a hat, and he wore it low on his head. And I know why: it was because he wasn't Jack Ruby. He was FBI Agent James Bookhout masquerading as Ruby.

But, would they have had the nerve to have Bookhout wear a hat when Ruby didn't? If that was so, then they probably got Ruby's hat from his apartment, so that it was his hat that Bookhout wore and left behind. We know that the Shooter's hat came off during the melee, and then Detective Miller put something over his head. So, was it the plan all along to leave the hat in the basement? It would have been no good for them if the hat stayed with Bookhout. So, maybe that was all planned to replace Bookhout's hat, which was Ruby's hat, with something else.

But, the other big thing is Daniels saying that Ruby had brown hair but was bald on top. I have been saying for years that Ruby was bald on top, and that all the images of him with hair are fake. They were paint-jobs. And since they had to be done one by one, and by different artists, they came out differently each time. It varied from just a few strands on top to a full head of hair. The reason they had to give Ruby hair is because Bookhout wore such a thick wig. It was truly like a rug. That's why Ruby had to have hair, so they gave it to him, but not in a consistent way.

 Both Michael Hardin, who was Oswald's ambulance driver, and his assistant Harold Wayne Wolfe, died untimely deaths that are very suspicious. I have found the Find-A-Grave page for each of them, which I will post.

Wolfe died first, in 1973, at the age of 39. The page doesn't say what he died of, but he, reportedly, committed suicide, you know, like George DeMohrenshilt, Roger Craig, Lisa Howard, John Palsley, CIA Agent Gary Underhill, and more. Wolfe was married and had either 3 or 4 sons. Since, he was 39, how old were his sons? Plenty of men have sons at age 39, so his youngest son was probably quite young. When you have a young family and you kill yourself., you are abandoning them. So, did he really commit suicide, or was he suicided?

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/27298471/harold-wayne-wolfe

Michael Hardin died at age 38, reportedly of a heart attack in 1979. It was 2 months after Billy Lovelady reportedly died of a heart attack at age 41.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/88901439/michael-norfleet-hardin

It's possible to die that young of a heart attack, but it's rare. Usually, it takes longer for the pathology in the arteries to advance enough to trigger a heart attack. Eating badly and getting fat accelerates the process, but Hardin was slender. And after the assassination, he became a police officer in Dallas, and cops are fitter than most people. Did he smoke? I don't know, but we have footage of him leaving Parkland Hospital after delivering Oswald, and surely a smoker would have lite up then, and he didn't.

So, did he really have a heart attack, or was he heart-attacked? I am referring to the "heart attack gun" that could shoot a toxin into you that would mimic a heart attack. Other prominent JFK assassination figures died untimely deaths by heart attack, including David Sanchez Morales and Richard Case Nagell.

Recall that I told you that they did a reenactment of Oswald being taken to Parkland Hospital, and at the time of the reenactment, Hardin had much shorter hair than he did on November 22. That's eerie, but it's also eerie that Wolfe wasn't present for the reenactment. If you watch the video of it, it's a combination of real footage and reenacted footage, but Wolfe is only present in the real footage. At Parkland, it isn't Wolfe helping Hardin push the stretcher. You see what looks like a Secret Service agent doing it. You only see Hardin; you don't see Wolfe. Why is that? It must be that they couldn't get Wolfe, but why? Was it that he was unwilling to participate in a fraud?

There is no doubt that Hardin and Wolfe knew things that were a threat to the official story, and that includes things that few people know about. For instance, Detective LC Graves claimed to ride in the ambulance to Parkland Hospital, but he did not. There wasn't even room for him because Hardin and Wolfe were in front. Then, in the backseat was Dr. Fred Bieberdorf, and seat next to him was folded down to accommodate the head of Oswald's stretcher. And then in back next to the stretcher were Detectives Leavelle and Dhority. And that's it. That filled up the vehicle. It was just a station wagon. Graves drove a police car to the hospital, which followed the ambulance. You can see that in the footage. But, when they arrived at the hospital, the police car was ahead of the ambulance, leading it. How did Graves overtake a speeding ambulance? And why would he do that? Why was it necessary? Why wasn't it just as good if he followed the ambulance? It doesn't seem reasonable to me that he would risk accelerating to the speed needed to overtake it.

But, the worst thing of all is the direction they went. They turned left on Commerce and went all the way down to the Pearl Freeway and then exited on Main and came back all the way to Harwood. In other words, they drove several miles just to go around the block.

One could argue that Commerce was a one-way street, and they were driving with traffic, but it was already closed off by the police. It had no traffic. They easily could have turned right and driven 200 feet to the corner of Commerce and Harwood, then turned right on Harwood, and then driven north on Harwood, and it would have been a straight shot to Parkland Hospital. Instead, they turned let and drove way out of their way. This was an emergency! A man was dying! Ambulances break traffic laws all the time. When a man's life is at stake, you do all you can to save him.

Here is a picture of Hardin's ambulance turning left on Commerce. Whose idea was it for him to do it? I doubt it was Hardin's. I'd bet that the detectives told him to turn left and take the Pearl Freeway. Note the cops in uniform standing there, who could have easily assisted the ambulance to make a right hand turn to Harwood, which was its destination.

 I now know who took that staged photo of Marina and Marguerite, with SS Agent Mike Howard behind them, supposedly at Parkland Hospital on 11/24. It was Mason Lankford. Who's he, you ask? I'll tell you who he was. But first, look at this image, which is from the Dallas Morning News, because it says in the caption, their caption, that Mason Lankford took the photo.

Mason Lankford was one of those guys who went by his middle name. His full name was John Mason Lankford. He was raised in the Dallas area, and he attended North Texas Agricultural College, which had a strong military program. It was part of the Navy's V12 officer training program, which was a scholarship program for students with a high potential to become naval officers. He served in the Navy during WW2 and then became an agent in the Office of Naval Intelligence.

After the war, Lankford returned to Dallas and was employed in corporate security at various defense contractors, starting with Convair, which went on to merge with General Dynamics. In the late 1950s, he worked for Temco Aircraft Corporation, a large defense contractor. One of the largest investors in Temco, and a long-time director there, was David Harold Byrd, the owner of the Texas School Book Depository building. But, guess who also worked for Convair in Fort Worth in the 1950s? LHO's brother Robert Oswald (but, you are in the dark if you haven't read HARVEY AND LEE by John Armstrong and don't know about the two Oswalds), as well as Roscoe White, who reportedly knew Oswald in the Marines (although I don’t know which Oswald he knew; both Oswalds were in the Marines), and White went on to become a Dallas Police officer, but not until 1963. And White used Lankford as a reference to the DPD when he applied.  

I realize that this is getting very complex, but it is widely believed that Roscoe White was deeply involved in the assassination. Some believe he was a shooter in Dealey Plaza, and many more believe that he posed as Oswald in the Backyard photos. Roscoe White was short, about 5’6”, as was the man in the photos, and he had the anvil-like chin that we see in the Backyard photos.

This whole time, Lankford was a Special Agent for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) in Dallas. And he was close friends with Secret Service Agent Mike Howard, who is in the staged photo of Marina and Marguerite, supposedly at Parkland Hospital. He is the man closest to us who seems to be wearing a toupee’. And if he wasn’t wearing one, then I suspect they touched up his hair in post, which is short for “post-production.” I’m a filmmaker.

Mike Howard was put in charge of securing Fort Worth for JFK’s visit. Notoriously, he is reportedly the one who let the SS agents go bar-hopping and get drunk the night before the assassination. And because they were doing that, firemen were brought in to guard JFK at the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth the night of November 21.

Why firemen, you ask? Well, Mike Howard asked Mason Lankford to help him secure Fort Worth for JFK’s visit- and remember, they were thick as thieves- but, in addition to everything else, Mason Lankford was the Tarrant County Fire Marshall (which he did on a volunteer basis) and he knew a lot of firemen.

Supposedly, at the time of assassination, Lankford was in a restaurant with his General Dynamics buddies, and his doings after that are murky. But then, it gets clear. On Sunday morning, Howard was in charge of securing Oswald’s family, and he asked Lankford to help him.

I’m going to stop a moment and reiterate the bizarre events that occurred, where LIFE reporters transported Marguerite and Marina from Irving to Dallas on Saturday morning to visit Oswald, and then, for some reason, instead of taking them back to the Paine house in Irving, checked them into a hotel on the outskirts of Dallas, the Executive Inn. We can be absolutely certain that the Secret Service guarded their rooms the whole night. And then, the next morning, it was Mike Howard who went knocking at the door to take charge of Marina. The plan was to take her to the home of Dallas Police Chief Jess Burry, which they did. They did not let her go to Ruth Paine’s to get her things, but they did let her call Ruth from the Chief’s house to ask her to gather her things, which someone got.  

Now, at some point in all that, they informed Marina that Oswald had been shot. Reportedly, it was Mike Howard who did that. In her Warren Commission testimony, Marina said that they were driving in the car when he told her. She claimed that he did it in steps, first telling her that Oswald had been shot but that he was still alive and getting help. And then later, he told her that he had died.  She said that then, they went to the Inn of the Six Flags and got checked in. It’s been claimed that Lankford chose the Inn of the Six Flags. And then, she and Robert began making funeral arrangements. She never said anything about going to Parkland Hospital to view Oswald’s body.

Reportedly, Lankford and Robert Oswald shared a room at the Inn of the Six Flags. And they knew each other from Convair. Oswald referred to him as “Mason,” so he knew that that’s the name he went by.

There’s a rumor that during all this, Lankford got on the phone with Lyndon Johnson. And then he (Lankford) tried very hard to convince Marina to have Oswald cremated, but she opted not to. But, Lankford was very much involved in Oswald’s funeral and burial.

It's interesting that Oswald tried to call a supposedly “former” intelligence agent named John Hurt in Raleigh, North Carolina the night of November 23.  Right nearby in Nags Head was a large training facility of the Office of Naval Intelligence, from which the false defector to the Soviet Union program was hatched and operated. Coincidence?

Despite his involvement, Mason Lankford is a like a ghost. He was never interviewed by the FBI or the Warren Commission.  And when you think about his connections: with General Dynamics, Max Clark, I. B. Hale, White Russians like Peter Gregory, SS agent Mike Howard, and of course the Office of Naval Intelligence, it’s perplexing.  Through his General Dynamics connections, Lankford probably knew Frank Pace, Fred Korth, and John Connally, as well as Joseph H. Himes, the former business partner of Lee Harvey Oswald’s uncle, James Coker.

Marguerite Oswald never mentioned Lankford either, even though she was a big name-dropper. She was practically his neighbor in Fort Worth, as were Peter Gregory and David Atlee Phillips. Lankford’s photo of her and Marina was attached to Paul Gregory’s 2013 New York Times article for the 50^th.  Paul was the son of Peter.

Here's another eerie connection between Marguerite Oswald and Mason Lankford.  Lankford was tight with the owner of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Amon Carter, for whose wife Marguerite Oswald had worked.

The bottom line is that Mason Lankford, who was not a photo-journalist but an intelligence agent, took a staged photo of Marina and Marguerite, supposedly walking into Parkland Hospital, that includes a phony child who was much older than a year and 9 months to represent June, and with Marguerite Oswald holding a perfect cylindrical cannister that represented 6 week old Rachel, and with her left foot “en pointe” like a ballet dancer. I think the idea was to pretend that she was walking. I, as a chiropractor, wrote an article once about the mechanics of walking gait, and I tell you emphatically that she wasn’t walking; she was posing.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Why should you believe that there was really a baby in that cylinder that Marguerite was carrying? Since when can a human being be stuffed into a can, so that their body fits the dimensions of a can? A baby has arms and legs that move, that squirm. It would be torture to be confined to the space of that can. The baby had more room than that when it was in the womb. And how is the baby supposed to breathe? I would call the police if I saw someone doing that to a baby.

And it's not the only weird thing about the photo. There is the fake June walking alongside Marina. It's obvoius that that kid, who looks masculine, was way past 1 year and 9 months.

And take it all in. There are four adults walking there. So, are we supposed to assume that 1 year, 9 month old June was walking at the same speed as the four adults? No one is looking at or paying any attention whatsoever to June. But anyone who is walking with a 1 year, 9 month old is going to be paying attention to that toddler. I mean looking at the child, and pacing according to the child's speed. You don't walk with a 1 year, 9 month old and ignore her. A 9 year old, yes; but a 1 year 9 month old no.

And look at Marguerite. She has her left foot vertical with the toe pointed down, and the heel high in the air, like a ballet dancer who is walking "en pointe." Why would she be doing that? It is not a normal part of walking. It isn't any part of walking.

Supposedly, one of the newspapers took this, but it is essentially a State photo. The State controlled all the photographic media from the assassination, both still photographs and films. Name one film or photo that didn't wind up in State hands. You can't.

So, since this is a State photo, and this is the JFK assassination we are talking about, why would you defend this? Remember: the State killed Kennedy. The U.S. government killed Kennedy. Not Oswald; not the Mafia, but the United States government. So, unless you are a mole for the United States government, why would you cast all doubt aside about this freaky photo?

This is off-topic, but I am concerned about Lloyd Austin. The story makes no sense. Prostate cancer is not an emergency procedure. It's scheduled well in advance. It isn't rushed. And it is something that many famous men have gone through, including two Secretaries of States: Colin Powell and John Kerry. It's so common that I can't imagine why anyone would seek to hide it. The idea that the Defense Secretary would try to sneak it; to go through it without even informing the President is inconceivable. And afterwards, it would take very little time before the patient is functional and responsive. Here is Ronald Reagan in the hospital right after his abdominal surgery after being shot. So, why not a comparable image of Lloyd Austin for what was, in comparison, a routine procedure? 

So, besides inexpicably sneaking and hiding his prostate cancer surgery, even though he is second only to the President in the military hierarchy, Lloyd Austin was unfortunate enough to be in the 2 to 4 percent of men who developed surgical site infection, which required hospitalization. But now, he is home from that, presumably on the mend, yet there is still no image of him like this? If he was well enough to go home, he is well enough to appear in a bath robe, if only to prove that he's alive. There is nothing credible about this whole situation. 

 

There is also a film version of Marguerite carrying Rachel into Parkland hospital, and it's very different. In it, there is no bearhugging of a tubular baby. Instead, she is holding the baby diagonally, and the baby is not in a cocoon. You can actually see the head of the baby. And there is no sign of any handbag.

How did Marguerite come to be holding a baby and a handbag in the still photo? Which did she pick up first? I can't imagine her going to pick up a baby while first holding a handbag. When you think about how fragile a 6 week old baby is, you probably want to devote both hands to carrying it.

And remember, she got out of car to do this. So, how did she wind up with both the baby and the handbag in her arms? Did someone help her? If so, then why didn't they carry the handbag for her? And what did she need the handbag for? Did she have to show ID? Why wouldn't she just leave the handbag in the car?

And regarding the still photo that we've been discussing, how was she going to put the baby down? She's going into the hospital to view the body of her dead son. So, was she going to just hold both the baby and the purse the whole time? What if she had to go to the bathroom? Nature calls. Isn't she a bit too overloaded there? Why would she get herself in that predicament?

And which of these is the real thing? They can't both be real. Either she had a handbag, or she didn't. Either she held the baby one way or she held it the other way. How do you reconcile the two? You don't. You weren't supposed to compare them. You weren't supposed to see them both at the same time.

It's all propaganda. The very idea of taking a 1 year, 9 month old to view the wretched body of her dead father is appalling. Who would do such a thing? The monsters who killed Kennedy, Tippit and Oswald, and then framed the poor Jack Ruby, gave it no thought when they staged this thing.

 Question: How is that a baby that Marguerite is holding? How is the baby able to breathe? Why in the wrapped baby so perfectly cylindrical when it's a baby with arms and legs? Is Marguerite really holding a baby, or is it a staged picture?

And is Marguerite really walking? If so, why is the heel of her left foot raised so high? That is not how people walk. If we did that with every step, we would never have a smooth, fluid cadence. There is no need to raise the heel that high, and people don't do it. However, if you were faking walking, as you posed for a picture, then you might do it that way.

And considering how fragile a 6 week old baby is, would an old woman try to carry her handbag at the same time as the baby? Consider that she had to use both hands to pick the baby up, say, from its crib. So, now she's holding the baby with both hands. What hand does she use to grab her handbag? Does she momentarily hold the baby with just one hand?

This whole thing is a staged photo; a propaganda piece. I don't know what Marguerite was carrying, but it wasn't a baby. And she wasn't walking; she was pretending to walk.

And they did all this just to create an image of Marina entering Parkland Hospital to view Oswald's dead body, which leads me to believe that she didn't do it. There is no mention of it in her Warren Commission testimony. She freely gave an account of everything that happened, and she didn't mention it. She wouldn't have forgotten, would she? She claimed that they went directly from Chief Curry's house to the Inn of the Six Flags. She said nothing about going to the hospital to view Lee's body.

 So, the feds, with the cooperation of the Dallas Police and LIFE magazine, started their takeover of Marina Oswald on Friday, beginning with extracting her from Ruth Paine's house. It was on Saturday evening that the LIFE reporters set her up in a hotel on the outskirts of Dallas, the Executive Inn. 

Do you think that was innocent? Does it not bother you that the reporters didn't just take her home? And they gave no reason for not doing that. They just nonchalantly said that since the Adophilus hotel was crammed with reporters, they had better take her to another one. YOU are not supposed to be smart enough to ask why they didn't take her home.  

But, speaking of that, are you smart enough to wonder why SS agents showed up at the Executive Inn the next morning? How did they even know that Marina was there? Did the LIFE reporters inform them? Do you think that's innocent too?

So, the two SS agents got there in the morning, and it had to be pretty early. After all, it was a hotel. A lot of hotels have a check-out time of 11 AM. If you stay longer than that, you have to pay for another day. Oswald wasn't shot until 11:20. 

So, why did those Secret Service agents go there? They said they were going to take her to the home of Chief Curry. But, the Secret Service had no association with the Dallas Police. Supposedly, they took her to Chief Curry's house so that she could change her kids' clothes? But, that's ridiculous. There were no clothes for them at his house. It was also to call Ruth Paine to ask her to gather up Marina's things. But, why not just take her there, to Ruth's home, since she lived there?

They, the cops and the feds, knew what was about to happen, but, they didn't know how Marina was going to react. They wanted her with them when she found out; so that they could steer her through it. And it would go from that to full immersion in the MK-ULTRA program. 

Their actions that Sunday morning only made sense in the world that was coming; the world of Oswald being dead. The Secret Service, the FBI, and the Dallas Police all knew that Oswald was about to die. 

I am not the first person to suggest that the Dallas Police were in on the killing of Oswald. Many have suggested it before me. But, they've done it by assuming that the Dallas Police colluded with Jack Ruby. But, that is ridiculous.  

If they had colluded with Ruby to kill Oswald, they would have had to kill Ruby. They couldn't trust him to keep his mouth shut. Remember: they were prosecuting him. They were testifying against him. They were seeking the death penalty, and they got it. What if he woke up one morning and decided that he had enough, that he was going to tell his lawyers everything? Do you really think they were going to take that chance? 

I can guarantee you that they did not collude with Ruby. What they did was manipulate him. They tricked him into believing that he shot Oswald. Even though he had no thought whatsoever to do it; even though he had no memory whatsoever of having done it; when they dragged him up to the 5th floor and told him that he shot Oswald, he believed them simply because they told him so.

When it comes to the events of our lives, our experiences, we don't defer to others. Our own perceptions reign supreme to us. Nothing trumps that. We trust our own cognition. 

So, if you or I were standing in a police garage, and suddenly the cops jumped us and dragged us upstairs, and then told us that we shot someone, there is no profanity strong enough to express our outrage and defiance. That's what happened to Jack Ruby, but he just accepted it. He was mentally impaired and heavily drugged. He was out of his mind. 

This was before the televised Spectacle. By then, Ruby was already tucked away on the 5th floor. Then, at 3 pm, he was slipped into the story for the first time, when they took him down to the 3rd floor to talk to Captain Fritz. 

Take a look at this funny collage concerning Detective Tommy McMillan. He was a lanky guy; thin. But, they beefed him up in the film to screen the Shooter, since the Shooter wasn't Jack Ruby. McMillan suddenly became the biggest man in the garage. His giantism concealed the Shooter, who was not Jack Ruby. 

 Marina did go to the DPD on Friday. We have images of her there in two different outfits, one light and the other dark. The Portal of Texas History lists both of these as November 22, but since she's wearing different clothes, one has to be Friday and the other Saturday. 

 But, her presence there on Friday means that the narrative of Allan Grant from LIFE magazine isn't credible because he claimed to be with her at the Irving house from that afternoon until dark. 

First, in L.A., he hopped a plane to Dallas after JFK was shot at 10:30 L.A. time. And Grant said that it was at 11:05 on the plane that the pilot announced that Kennedy had died. But, how could his trip have progressed that far in 35 minutes? 

Grant didn't say what time they reached the Paine house, but it had to be day. They didn't even have the address, and it's unimaginable that they would have been looking for the house in the dark. They saw a guy parked in the driveway who was getting groceries out of his car. So, they approached him. He was Michael Paine, and his response was to invite them inside.   

It wasn't even his house. He and Ruth were separated and heading for divorce. So, wouldn't he have checked with her before inviting strangers in?

But, what time was it then? I don't know, but Marguerite was already there. So, how did she get there? Remember: she lived in Ft. Worth, and Bob Schiefer went and got her. 

But, it must have been after the trip to Dallas because otherwise, how could Marguerite be there? 

So, they're all inside gabbing away. Grant admitted that their goal was to kidnap the Oswalds so that they would have an exclusive. So, when Marguerite asked about them driving them to Dallas to see Lee, they jumped on it. But, how could that happen without it being said that they were just there? Here is how Grant put it:

"Would it be possible," Marguerite asked, "for Marina and I to go with you to Dallas to see Lee Harvey?" Tommy offered not only to drive the women to Dallas but to give them our rooms at the Adolphus Hotel where they could spend the night and where they would not only be comfortable but in the morning, would practically be next door to the Dallas Jail where Lee was being held. Marguerite liked the idea, but Marina didn't want to wake the children. She told Ruth Paine in Russian she thought it best to pick them up in the morning."

But wait. If they were there on Friday and didn't see Lee, why would they just assume that if they went on Saturday they'd get to see him? Was it arranged in advance? Not according to Grant. He said that the next day, from his hotel room, Marguerite called Captain Fritz and asked if they could see Lee. So, they drove to Dallas on a lark? And they discussed it all without revealing that they had been to Dallas?

The whole story isn't credible, including the part about them not taking Marina back home and just assuming that they couldn't do that. It was really about moving Marina out of that house, and the reason reporters were doing it is because it would have been inappropriate for the feds to do it when Oswald was still alive.

And the weirdest thing of all is the way they described it as if it was a foregone conclusion that Marina couldn't go back home. Of course, they were going to take her to a hotel because she couldn't go back home. Why? Don't ask because you're not supposed to think about it.  

We have an affadavit that Marina signed on November 22 that was notarized.

The affidavit is weird because it states that when first asked if Oswald owned a rifle, she said he used to, a hunting rifle, but it got sold. Actually, it was a shotgun, which was all you could own in Russia. And that statement was consistent with him not currently owning a rifle. The only reason to mention a previously owned rifle is if he didn't currently own one. 

But then, she said that she knew there was "a" rifle in Ruth Paine's garage, that two weeks before, she saw a blanket with something wrapped in it. She opened it and saw that it was a rifle. And then, she related the incident of going into the garage with the cops and seeing the empty blanket on the floor. 

So, what should we make of this? She never claimed that that rifle belonged to Lee. 

So, did the plotters plant the rifle wrapped in the blanket in the garage? Did Michael Paine plant it there? Who else could have done it?  

However, it is impossible to correlate these statements with the ones that Marina eventually made to the Warren Commission. To them, she waxed on and on about Oswald and his rifle. But, I maintain that all that was the result of her being MK-ULTRA'd.  

So, Marina's statement that Oswald used to own a rifle is tantamount to her saying that he didn't currently own one. And therefore, everything that followed was cognitive disconnect. Marina's affidavit is exonerating of Oswald and damning to the official story. An intelligent person who reads it is going to smell a rat. 

So, there are two take-aways here: The first is that the purpose of the LIFE reporters was to move Marina out of the Paine house for the feds. The feds were in charge. They were calling the shots. It's apparent that they were trying to mesh the timing of their complete take-over of Marina's life with Oswald being declared dead. The idea was to make it look like it didn't start until after he died. But, in reality, it started before, They just cloaked it with the LIFE reporters. They absolutely knew that his death was coming. All their actions, including the actions of Grant and Thompson, were based on, not just the expectation, but the certain knowledge that Oswald was going to die. I don't say that Grant and Thompson had that knowledge. They just had an assignment. But, it is a smoking gun that the feds started taking control of Marina, in a step-like way, before Oswald died, and we need to start talking about it that way.  

And the second thing is that the only solid statement Marina made about Oswald's rifle is that he didn't own one. All the rest is noise- and the manipulation of her and us.
