JFK Assassination Documents to be released this year

[cobalt]

Every other employee at the Book Depository knew that JFK's route took him past the Book Depository, so it's not credible that Oswald didn't know.

Oswald found out the route in the course of the morning as did no doubt several other workers as well. You are suggesting that every other employee of the TSBD knew the route when they arrived for duty first thing in the morning. There is no evidence to support that; a cursory knowledge of human nature indicates why. Jack Dougherty had trouble remembering which day it was.

You have already answered why Oswald would not be interested in shooting Stevenson and Stevenson didn't drive by Oswald's place of work on a route published in the newspapers.

Stevenson would have been lower down Oswald's assumed hit list but that hardly made him immune to appearing in the faulty crosshairs of Oswald's Carcano. Stevenson's prevarications at the UN during the Cuban Missile Crisis would have made him a legitimate target if we accept the WC account of Oswald.

Nixon was attending the annual convention of the American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages as an attorney for Pepsi. He didn't drive by Oswald's place of work on a route published in the newspapers.

Neither did General Edwin Walker but according to the WC he nearly fell victim to Oswald's lethal Carcano just the same.

JFK's motorcade route was published on November 18 in both Dallas papers, the Dallas Times Herald and the Dallas Morning News. The information was repeated in Dallas Morning News the next day.

Hi Mike,

Even if we're just considering their relative positions, it's hard to see how a bullet striking JFK in the back from behind would miss Connally.

Cheers,

Agreed Frank. Unless it was a magic one of course.

But the route was first announced in the papers on the 19th and had been finalised the day before that. So it had been public knowledge for 3-4 days by the time of the assassination. We can’t prove that he’d actually read it but the others appeared to know as everyone was talking about it. Marina also had tried to engage him on the subject of the visit and even though the two regularly discussed issues of politics Oswald’s didn’t want to know. Another point to add to the long list of examples of suspicious behaviour from LHO.

The second shot according to you then is c399 yes?

If the first shot missed then 399 must have caused Tagues and Connallys wound ? Thats impossible with the pristine condition of c399

Or you must think Tagues wound was the third head shot which I've asked to see the evidence of that with no answer.

Fiver ? My bad missed your response . ill check it out

Agreed Frank. Unless it was a magic one of course.
