• Evidential Question

    From Bud@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 30 16:11:20 2023
    I know the bag is said to be 38 inches long. How big are the flaps, and are they included in the length (pretty sure they are not)?

    I found this source, that says the flaps were 3 inches...

    "The size of the taped flap at one end was approximately 3 inches, meaning the paper was initially long enough (41 inches) to completely conceal a fully assembled CE 139 with the scope."

    It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption.

    In fact, looking at this photo it seems the flaps are over four, maybe as much as five inches...

    Except your source is "Tony Fratini", a "new member" posting in a JFK forum. Apparently, Mr. "Fratini" never looked at Commission Exhibit 1304, which shows the "bag" alongside a ruler.
    The length is 38 inches, just as the Commission stated in its Report ( pg. 133 )

    The "flap" adds nothing to the length of the "bag" because the measurement was taken from the longest end.
    https://gil-jesus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/WH_Vol22_480-CE-1304-flap.jpg

    This is what happens when you rely on other people's opinions instead of doing your own research.
    When you use their fuck ups, you end up looking stupid.

    Unless you can cite in the official record that the "bag" was 41 inches.

    It's also interesting to see how a believer does "research" - he
    wanted a longer bag, so he went looking INTENTIONALLY for a longer
    bag. The actual facts were of no interest to Chickenshit.

    Just like the Warren Commission they support.

    Oh, Oswald didn't own a 7.65 Mauser ? Well, it was really a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
    Oh, Oswald didn't own a .38 automatic ? Well, it was really a revolver.
    Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds.
    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey.
    Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.

    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.

    If I measure the item with the flap fully extended out out, what an I measuring if not the bag?

    The flap *can* add length to the bag if the flap is extended when you measure it, stupid.

    This is what happens when you rely on other people's opinions instead of doing your own research.

    I can look at the photo of the evidence and see that the bag is 38 inches (although it might be longer if pulled taunt) and the flap appears to be between 4 and five inches. That is the information I was looking for.

    How is asking for the facts about the bag "bullshit"?

    This mental midget found some asshole's opinion on a forum and tried to pass it off
    as fact.

    Ass backwards as usual. I searched for the dimensions of the bag and this came up. I first started looking through Day`s, Frazier`s and Cadigan`s testimony and came up empty so I tried general google searches.

    An opinion, BTW, that has no basis in fact and is not supported by any corroborating evidence.

    That's what he calls "research".

    This is how information comes out when it goes through Gil`s brain.

    His question was about the size of the flaps. He knew the size of the bag.

    The flaps are part of *what*, Gil?

    The flap does add to the length of the bag when the flap is extended, just like opening a car door will add to the width. I fear that no matter how I try to explain this concept you (and Ben shortly) will only continue to try to mangle it.

    And he believed the poster's post that the bag was 41 inches.

    Have you shown him to be wrong that the bag is 41 inches with the flap extended?

    He stated, "It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption."

    If hiding the rifle was the purpose the bag seems long enough to accomplish this without disassembling the rifle. This is the concept you will never grasp.

    So he bought into the bag being 41 inches.

    How big is it with the flap extended, Gil? Is the flap part of the bag, Gil?

    His problem is that he can't admit he was wrong.

    You`ve only been showing your ignorance of the ideas I am expressing.

    The only question you asked had to do with the size of the flaps, not the length of the bag.

    The flaps are part of the bag, stupid.

    I asked you this question, which you ducked...

    If you measure the length of the bag with the flap extended, what are you measuring if not the bag?

    Then you stated:
    "It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption."
    Really ? A 40.2" rifle didn't have to be disassembled to fit in a 38" bag ?

    Let`s try another question for you to avoid...

    If I have a paper shopping bag filled with boxes of cereal and they stick out the top, are those boxes of cereal in the bag or not in the bag?

    There would be a couple inches of a thin barrel would need to be covered, but there is plenty of flap to cover this.

    Admit it. You fucked up.

    Again, I am not responsible for your inability to think.

    What I am doing is exploring the possibility that the rifle could have been transported in that bag without being disassembled. I am questioning the assumption that it would be necessary.

    You took some asshole's opinion that the bag was 41" from some forum and bought into it hook, line and sinker.

    Again, this is something I came across about an hour into my inquiry. It was long after I made this post asking for the measurements. You have the cart in front of the horse.

    Then you wanted to add another inch or two to it.

    I`m not "adding" anything. I want to know the actual measurements. This is import to determine what is and what isn`t possible.

    You stated:
    "In fact, looking at this photo it seems the flaps are over four, maybe as much as five inches..."
    It seems your research skills are only exceeded by your cognitive skills. LOL.

    You don`t seem to be disputing what I wrote, why is that?

    Did you hit the link and look at the photo? How big does the flap look to be in that photo (pro tip, use the ruler below to aid you in determining this)?

    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/jfkinfo3/exhibits/ce142.jpg

    Now that you're called out on it, you're back pedalling, trying to save face.

    It looks that way because you are standing on your head.

    But you're not squirming out of this one, asshole.

    I`m using reason. If that gives you vertigo try some dramamine.

    Not even your lone nut buddies want to chime in on this gaffe.

    I`m willing to engage anyone on the ideas I am expressing. You`ll note that Corbett raised evidential challenges, while you are merely making scoffing noises that don`t address a single idea I`ve expressed.

    I found this source, that says the flaps were 3 inches...

    "The size of the taped flap at one end was approximately 3 inches, meaning the paper was initially long enough (41 inches) to completely conceal a fully assembled CE 139 with the scope."

    https://jfk.boards.net/thread/51/lee-harvey-oswald-construct-paper

    It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption.
    Except your source is "Tony Fratini", a "new member" posting in a JFK forum.

    Fratini is a conspiracy theorist, positing a novel theory that the bag wasn't made by Oswald, but by Robert Studebaker, a crime lab trainee. Conspiracy theorists have long sought to find an explanation -- any explanation -- that removes the bag from
    Oswald's possession.

    Fratini repeats a long-time conspiracy theorist myth, that because the bag wasn't photographed in place, it means there is something suspicious about the bag:

    "No one knows who moved CE 142 in situ and why it wasnt photographed in situ. This was not further investigated by the FBI nor the WC."

    That's false, but that's the oft-repeated conspiracy theorist argument.

    Anyone who has read the testimony of Studebaker understands why it was not photographed in place. That was because Studebaker made a rookie mistake and picked up the bag before photographing it. If an evidentiary item is removed from its place of
    discovery, it should NOT be placed back into the crime scene. This is evidence handling 101.

    The FBI noted (and Fratini quotes) Studebaker admitted the bag was picked up before it was photographed in place:
    "According to Studebaker, the paper bag was removed prior to taking photographs of the southeast corner; however, a close-up photograph taken of this corner is designated as Dallas Police Department Photograph No. 26."
    Fratini cites this document: https://ibb.co/YfFSsXK
    To any knowledgeable person, this FBI memo explains explains exactly why the bag was not photographed in place. It was disturbed from the crime scene before being photographed.

    Fratini even quotes Montgomery as seeing Studebaker pick up the bag before photographing it:
    Mr. MONTGOMERY. Wait just a minute no; I didn't pick it up. I believe Mr. Studebaker did. We left it laying right there so they could check it for prints.

    Finally, Fratini even quotes Studebaker as picking up the bag before it was photographed in place:
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.

    Fratini, typical of CTs, doesn't quote the fuller context, which you can see here:
    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/studebak.htm
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.
    Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of it before you picked it up?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No.
    Mr. BALL. Does that sack show in any of the pictures you took?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No; it doesn't show in any of the pictures.

    So there is no mystery about why the bag was not photographed in place. It was not photographed in place because the rules of evidence establish it should not be placed back into the crime scene once handled. And Studebaker picked it up before
    photographing it.

    Here is a brief primer on evidence handling: https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/disturbed-evidence

    As always, CTs attempt to make a mountain out of a level surface. We are not even talking a molehill here.



    Apparently, Mr. "Fratini" never looked at Commission Exhibit 1304, which shows the "bag" alongside a ruler.
    The length is 38 inches, just as the Commission stated in its Report ( pg. 133 )

    The "flap" adds nothing to the length of the "bag" because the measurement was taken from the longest end.
    https://gil-jesus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/WH_Vol22_480-CE-1304-flap.jpg

    This is what happens when you rely on other people's opinions instead of doing your own research.
    When you use their fuck ups, you end up looking stupid.

    Unless you can cite in the official record that the "bag" was 41 inches.

    So why did he make a bag too short to contain the actual rifle?

    Good question. Remember that Oswald ordered from an advertisement that specified a 36-inch rifle. And he was instead shipped a 40.2-inch weapon, as Kleins had run out of the shorter weapon.

    So he, not having measured the rifle he received (why would he?) assumed he needed to make a bag longer than 36-inches. He did, making one 38-inches in length from Depository paper, which was long enough to contain the 36-inch rifle he ordered. But not
    long enough to contain the 40.2-inch rifle he was shipped.

    Oops.

    So there he is, on the morning of 11/22/1963, in the Paine garage, with a bag too short to conceal a 40.2-inch weapon. What does he do?

    He dismantles the rifle into two component parts, the stock and the barrel, each short enough to conceal within the 38-inch bag he made from Depository paper. And he smuggles the weapon into the Depository that way, and reassembles the weapon within the
    sniper's nest as he awaits the arrival of the President's motorcade.

    If he realized the rifle was not the 36-inch weapon he ordered, he could have and would have made the bag 42 or 43-inches long, and the rifle would not have to be disassembled. The fact he constructed a 38-inch bag speaks eloquently to the fact he never
    measured the rifle he received, and simply assumed it was the 36-inch weapon he ordered.

    That's what he calls "research".

    Should we expect any more from these LN trolls ?
    Just like the Warren Commission they support.

    Oh, Oswald didn't own a 7.65 Mauser ? Well, it was really a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.

    That's what the Kleins business records show, that Oswald was shipped a 6.5 MC bearing the serial number C2766.
    https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm Coincidentally, the same serial number that was on the weapon recovered from the Depository by J.C.Day and marked into evidence by Day.
    Mr. BELIN. Do you have any record of that with you or not?
    Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; this is the record I made of the gun when I took it back office. Now, the gun did not leave my possession.
    Mr. BELIN. From the time it was found at the School Book Depository Building? Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; I took the gun myself and retained possession, took it to the office where I dictated----
    Mr. BELIN. Could you just read into the record what you dictated.
    Mr. DAY. To my secretary. She wrote on the typewriter: "4 x 18, coated, Ordinance Optics, Inc., Hollywood, California, 010 Japan. OSC inside a cloverleaf design."
    Mr. BELIN. What did that have reference to?
    Mr. DAY. That was stamped on the scopic sight on top of the gun. On the gun itself, "6.5 caliber C-2766, 1940 made in Italy." That was what was on the gun. I dictated certain other stuff, other information, for her to type for me.
    Mr. BELIN. Well, you might just as well dictate the rest there.
    Mr. DAY. "When bolt opened one live round was in the barrel. No prints are on the live round. Captain Fritz and Lieutenant Day opened the barrel. Captain Fritz has the live round. Three spent hulls were found under the window. They were picked up by
    Detective Sims and witnessed by Lieutenant Day and Studebaker. The clip is stamped 'SMI, 9 x 2.'"


    Oh, Oswald didn't own a .38 automatic ? Well, it was really a revolver.
    Exactly as described by numerous witnesses at the scene who saw the gunman leaving the scene. For example, the Davis sisters (or sisters in law) and Benavides:

    Virginia Davis: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/vdavis.htm "The man that was unloading the gun was the same man I saw tonight as number 2 man in a line up."

    Barbara Davis: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/bdavis.htm "...I saw this man walking across my front yard unloading a gun."

    Domingo Benavides: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/benavide.htm
    Mr. BELIN - All right. Now, you said you saw the man with the gun throw the shells?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir.
    Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it.
    Mr. BELIN - Do you remember in which hand he was holding his gun?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - No; I sure don't.
    Mr. BELIN - Do you remember if he was trying to put anything in the gun also? Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes. As he turned the corner he was putting another shell in his gun.


    Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds.
    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds? The Commission never did. They said it could have taken over 7.9 seconds or more if the first or third shot missed:
    https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-3.html#timespan
    "If either the first or third shots missed, then a minimum of 2.3 seconds (necessary to operate the rifle) must be added to the time span of the shots which hit, giving a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots. If more than 2.3 seconds
    elapsed between a shot that missed and one that hit, then the time span would be correspondingly increased."
    In other words, if the time span between the the first and second shot was 2.9 seconds, then the total time span would be 2.9 + 5.6 seconds, or 8.5 seconds.


    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey.
    The jacket in evidence appears darker in photographs taken in artificial light than it does in bright sunlight. This is true because of the nature of film.


    Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.

    No, the rifle was disassembled because Oswald ordered a 36-inch rifle, and constructed a 38-inch bag. But he was actually shipped a 40.2-inch rifle.

    Rifle Oswald Ordered: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xkdKVRtQe3k/UrKs7tMMUUI/AAAAAAAAxbE/9XTcHWjNbuE/s535/Kleins-Rifle-Ad-February-1963.jpg

    Rifle Oswald was shipped bore the serial number C2766: https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm

    Rifle recovered from Depository bore the serial number C2766: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/factoid6.htm



    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.

    The evidence establishes Oswald ordered, possessed, and brought to the Depository the weapon used to kill President Kennedy. Critics have been trying to exonerate Oswald since Day One. They use every trick in the book, by ignoring evidence,
    mischaracterizing evidence, conjecturing fantastic explanations for common happenstance, utilizing logic fallacies, speculation, conjecture, taking quotes out of context, utilizing hearsay and discarding testimony, and simple everyday falsehoods.

    Now the asshole is trying to lie his way out of it by saying he was asking a question about the length of the bag.
    His question was about the size of the flaps. He knew the size of the bag. >And he believed the poster's post that the bag was 41 inches.

    He stated, "It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption."

    So he bought into the bag being 41 inches.

    His problem is that he can't admit he was wrong.

    Yep... absolutely true. It's things like this that explains the

    Logical fallacy deleted.

    This is what Huckster's famous for... logical fallacies.

    Translation: I couldn't rebut the points Hank made, so I will delete them, call them logical fallacies, and call him 'Huckster' instead of even trying to rebut his points.

    Here's what Ben called logical fallacies, and deleted and ignored:

    Fratini is a conspiracy theorist, positing a novel theory that the bag wasn't made by Oswald, but by Robert Studebaker, a crime lab trainee. Conspiracy theorists have long sought to find an explanation -- any explanation -- that removes the bag from
    Oswald's possession.

    Fratini repeats a long-time conspiracy theorist myth, that because the bag wasn't photographed in place, it means there is something suspicious about the bag:

    "No one knows who moved CE 142 in situ and why it wasnt photographed in situ. This was not further investigated by the FBI nor the WC."

    That's false, but that's the oft-repeated conspiracy theorist argument.

    Anyone who has read the testimony of Studebaker understands why it was not photographed in place. That was because Studebaker made a rookie mistake and picked up the bag before photographing it. If an evidentiary item is removed from its place of
    discovery, it should NOT be placed back into the crime scene. This is evidence handling 101.

    The FBI noted (and Fratini quotes) Studebaker admitted the bag was picked up before it was photographed in place:
    "According to Studebaker, the paper bag was removed prior to taking photographs of the southeast corner; however, a close-up photograph taken of this corner is designated as Dallas Police Department Photograph No. 26."
    Fratini cites this document: https://ibb.co/YfFSsXK
    To any knowledgeable person, this FBI memo explains explains exactly why the bag was not photographed in place. It was disturbed from the crime scene before being photographed.

    Fratini even quotes Montgomery as seeing Studebaker pick up the bag before photographing it:
    Mr. MONTGOMERY. Wait just a minute no; I didn't pick it up. I believe Mr. Studebaker did. We left it laying right there so they could check it for prints.

    Finally, Fratini even quotes Studebaker as picking up the bag before it was photographed in place:
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.

    Fratini, typical of CTs, doesn't quote the fuller context, which you can see here:
    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/studebak.htm
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.
    Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of it before you picked it up?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No.
    Mr. BALL. Does that sack show in any of the pictures you took?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No; it doesn't show in any of the pictures.

    So there is no mystery about why the bag was not photographed in place. It was not photographed in place because the rules of evidence establish it should not be placed back into the crime scene once handled. And Studebaker picked it up before
    photographing it.

    Here is a brief primer on evidence handling: https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/disturbed-evidence

    Mr. BELIN - Do you remember if he was trying to put anything in the gun also? Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes. As he turned the corner he was putting another shell in his gun.



    And unlike Corbutt, Chuckles, or Chickenshit, you *DO* know the
    evidence well enough to understand that you're not being truthful.

    I understand you couldn't deal with the evidence I posted, so you deleted it and claimed I was untruthful.


    Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds.

    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds?
    Steve Keating, for one: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/152dp7pvUFI/m/MwPcbuqHTT0J

    R2Judge, for another. https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/5Tv-SPjBw_k/m/5FOMBRuYvAIJ

    John McAdams, yet another... https://groups.google.com/g/alt.assassination.jfk/c/naG8f8ip3lM/m/S4xSgqX7A3wJ

    Now, I only needed one to prove you a liar.

    Nope. We're not examining those person's claims. Gil is talking about the Warren Commission's argument.
    Gil said this as a lead-in to his series of straw man claims:
    "Just like the Warren Commission they support."

    And I made that clear in my response. And I provided exactly what the Commission said about the timing of the shots. You don't get to change the subject to what some other posters said (some of whom are dead and no longer able to clarify or defend their
    claims).
    Here's again the evidence concerning the Commission's conclusions concerning the timing of the shots, establishing Gil's claim is nonsense:
    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds? The Commission never did. They said it could have taken over 7.9 seconds or more if the first or third shot missed:
    https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-3.html#timespan
    "If either the first or third shots missed, then a minimum of 2.3 seconds (necessary to operate the rifle) must be added to the time span of the shots which hit, giving a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots. If more than 2.3 seconds
    elapsed between a shot that missed and one that hit, then the time span would be correspondingly increased."
    In other words, if the time span between the the first and second shot was 2.9 seconds, then the total time span would be 2.9 + 5.6 seconds, or 8.5 seconds.

    You change the subject from what the Commission said to what other posters said, and expect me to defend their claims. I've been called a Warren Commission defender numerous times. Nobody has ever called me a Steve Keating or John McAdams defender. But
    that's what you want to sidetrack the discussion to.



    This is what believers do all the time, they simply move on, and
    absolutely REFUSE to retract previously made statements.
    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey. Non refutation deleted.

    I pointed out the facts that you can't rebut, so like Mark Lane, you simply ignored that contrary evidence:
    The jacket in evidence appears darker in photographs taken in artificial light than it does in bright sunlight. This is true because of the nature of film.


    Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.
    Sheer speculation deleted.

    No, I changed Gil's response to the actual one advanced by the Commission, and cited the evidence for the Commission's conclusion. True to form, you deleted it:
    No, the rifle was disassembled because Oswald ordered a 36-inch rifle, and constructed a 38-inch bag. But he was actually shipped a 40.2-inch rifle.

    Rifle Oswald Ordered: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xkdKVRtQe3k/UrKs7tMMUUI/AAAAAAAAxbE/9XTcHWjNbuE/s535/Kleins-Rifle-Ad-February-1963.jpg

    Rifle Oswald was shipped bore the serial number C2766: https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm

    Rifle recovered from Depository bore the serial number C2766: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/factoid6.htm

    Oswald ordered a 36-inch rifle.
    The rifle shipped Oswald bore the serial number C2766.
    The rifle found in the Depository bore that same serial number but measured 40.2 inches.
    And here's Frazier's testimony on that:
    Mr. EISENBERG - Can you explain why someone might call Exhibit 139 a German-made Mauser rifle or a Mauser bolt-action rifle?
    Mr. FRAZIER - The Mauser was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, and the basic bolt-action rifle, from which many others were copied. And since this uses the same type of bolt system, it may have been referred to as a Mauser for that reason.
    ...
    Mr. EISENBERG - Have you measured the dimensions of this rifle assembled, and disassembled?
    Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, I have.
    Mr. EISENBERG - Could you give us that information?
    Mr. FRAZIER - The overall length is 40.2 inches. It weighs 8 pounds even.


    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.

    The evidence establishes...


    That Gil is right.

    No, you had to delete and ignore not only my evidence, but my summary as well.

    Here it is again:
    The evidence establishes Oswald ordered, possessed, and brought to the Depository the weapon used to kill President Kennedy. Critics have been trying to exonerate Oswald since Day One. They use every trick in the book, by ignoring evidence,
    mischaracterizing evidence, conjecturing fantastic explanations for common happenstance, utilizing logic fallacies, speculation, conjecture, taking quotes out of context, utilizing hearsay and discarding testimony, and simple everyday falsehoods.

    The evidence posted by me and ignored and deleted by you establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that Gil is a garden-variety conspiracy theorist, who isn't even familiar enough with the Commission's claims to adequately summarize them, let alone rebut
    them.

    But this is a LOOOOONNNG way away from proving that Oswald owned a

    Indeed, the complete lack of any cleaning equipment, rounds, ANYTHING
    related to owning a rifle is completely missing from the inventory of
    what he owned.

    Huckster's well aware of the evidence he's lying by omission about...

    Ben deletes the evidence...


    You are flat lying. You know full well the evidence for an automatic

    Yes moron, that's EXACTLY what we're doing.

    Gil is talking about the Warren Commission's argument.


    So you believe that that when Gil said: "Everytime they can't deal

    the WC.

    YOU'RE A MORON AND A VERY *STUPID* LIAR!

    You change the subject from what the Commission said...


    Gil was speaking about believers, you asked **WHO** had said that. You
    didn't ask which "investigation" came to that conclusion.

    You're twisting in the wind right now... desperate to get away from

    So why did he make a bag too short to contain the actual rifle?

    Good question. Remember that Oswald ordered from an advertisement that specified a 36-inch rifle. And he was instead shipped a 40.2-inch weapon, as Kleins had run out of the shorter weapon.

    So he, not having measured the rifle he received (why would he?) assumed he needed to make a bag longer than 36-inches. He did, making one 38-inches in length from Depository paper, which was long enough to contain the 36-inch rifle he ordered. But not
    long enough to contain the 40.2-inch rifle he was shipped.

    Oops.

    So there he is, on the morning of 11/22/1963, in the Paine garage, with a bag too short to conceal a 40.2-inch weapon. What does he do?

    That is exactly what I was exploring, what did he do? Or more importantly, what did he *have* to do? Did he have to break down the rifle in order to conceal it or could he make this bag work without disassembling the rifle?

    He dismantles the rifle into two component parts, the stock and the barrel, each short enough to conceal within the 38-inch bag he made from Depository paper.

    Is that what Cardigan concluded? I honestly don`t know.

    And he smuggles the weapon into the Depository that way, and reassembles the weapon within the sniper's nest as he awaits the arrival of the President's motorcade.

    That could very well be what he did. In fact, it would be what I would bet (with a minor change, I think he probably assembled the rifle previously elsewhere, then put the assemble rifle back in the bag for transport to the SN) on if the truth could be
    determined for certain. What I was looking at is whether it was necessary to break the rifle down, or was there a work around?

    So lets look at Oswald in the Paine`s garage on the morning of the 22nd. He is surprised to find the rifle doesn`t fit in the bag he made. He needs a screwdriver to disassemble the rifle, which he probably wouldn`t have if he expected the rifle to fit
    in the bag. It is a garage, and garages often have tools or a toolbox around, so maybe he finds one or knows where one can be found. So he breaks down the rifle. Now he has two parts, which have the potential to cause problems, They move around, make
    noise when they hit each other, and can possible tear the bag. But he has the solution to these problems right in his hand. The blanket the rifle was stored in. It deadens sound, and can be used to cushion parts. But instead he drops the parts in the bag
    and goes on his way.

    Or, he opts to find a way to make the bag work with a rifle that isn`t disassembled.

    I can go deeper on that, but I`ll leave it there for now. But I will say this, I`m am confident I could take the full assassination rifle, put it in the bag in evidence and lay it on the backseat of a car in such a way as there would be no part of the
    rifle visible.

    If he realized the rifle was not the 36-inch weapon he ordered, he could have and would have made the bag 42 or 43-inches long, and the rifle would not have to be disassembled.

    I think there is little doubt he didn`t have the rifle on hand when he made the bag. If he had the rifle handy he would just manufacture the bag around the rifle.

    The fact he constructed a 38-inch bag speaks eloquently to the fact he never measured the rifle he received, and simply assumed it was the 36-inch weapon he ordered.

    Like I said, I was exploring different options. The common assumption (from CTers and LNers alike) is that the rifle needed to be broken down to fit in the bag. I`m not convinced this was a necessity.

    It has been shown to my satisfaction that the rifle Oswald had was the one Klein`s shipped him.

    You are welcome to try to put a more plausible explanation explaining what is in evidence if you feel up to it.

    You haven't proven the rifle was broken down.

    I am exploring the idea that it wasn`t, stupid.

    You haven't proven that Oswald used a screwdriver in the Paine garage.

    Can you imagine a lawyer in the OJ trial saying "Since you can`t prove my client had a knife in his hand when wound number seven was inflicted so you must acquit him"?

    You haven't proven that Oswald assembled the rifle in the TSBD on the morning of the assassination.

    No, but it has been shown that he shot and killed Kennedy with his rifle.

    You haven't proven the bag was 42 or 43 inches long.

    I think that this evidence photo shows that if the flap was opened the length of the bag would be in that range...

    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/jfkinfo3/exhibits/ce142.jpg

    You haven't proven the rifle was even in the bag.

    Seems reasonable to assume it was.

    Maybe, could have, probably...all buzz words LNers use when they don't have any evidence to prove what they say.

    We don`t have film of Oswald`s every step of the way, which is the bar you demand. What we have is plenty of information with which to apply reasoning to. Which is what you are completely devoid of.

    It doesn`t seem the rifle needed to be disassembled to fit in the bag. I always thought that was an unwarranted assumption.
    Except your source is "Tony Fratini", a "new member" posting in a JFK forum.
    Logical fallacy deleted.

    Here's the supposed logical fallacy you deleted:
    Fratini is a conspiracy theorist, positing a novel theory that the bag wasn't made by Oswald, but by Robert Studebaker, a crime lab trainee. Conspiracy theorists have long sought to find an explanation -- any explanation -- that removes the bag from
    Oswald's possession.

    Fratini repeats a long-time conspiracy theorist myth, that because the bag wasn't photographed in place, it means there is something suspicious about the bag:

    "No one knows who moved CE 142 in situ and why it wasnt photographed in situ. This was not further investigated by the FBI nor the WC."

    That's false, but that's the oft-repeated conspiracy theorist argument.

    Anyone who has read the testimony of Studebaker understands why it was not photographed in place. That was because Studebaker made a rookie mistake and picked up the bag before photographing it. If an evidentiary item is removed from its place of
    discovery, it should NOT be placed back into the crime scene. This is evidence handling 101.

    The FBI noted (and Fratini quotes) Studebaker admitted the bag was picked up before it was photographed in place:
    "According to Studebaker, the paper bag was removed prior to taking photographs of the southeast corner; however, a close-up photograph taken of this corner is designated as Dallas Police Department Photograph No. 26."
    Fratini cites this document: https://ibb.co/YfFSsXK
    To any knowledgeable person, this FBI memo explains explains exactly why the bag was not photographed in place. It was disturbed from the crime scene before being photographed.

    Fratini even quotes Montgomery as seeing Studebaker pick up the bag before photographing it:
    Mr. MONTGOMERY. Wait just a minute no; I didn't pick it up. I believe Mr. Studebaker did. We left it laying right there so they could check it for prints.

    Finally, Fratini even quotes Studebaker as picking up the bag before it was photographed in place:
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.

    Fratini, typical of CTs, doesn't quote the fuller context, which you can see here:
    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/studebak.htm
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. I don't know - I picked it up and dusted it and they took it down there and sent it to Washington and that's the last I have seen of it, and I don't know.
    Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of it before you picked it up?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No.
    Mr. BALL. Does that sack show in any of the pictures you took?
    Mr. STUDEBAKER. No; it doesn't show in any of the pictures.

    So there is no mystery about why the bag was not photographed in place. It was not photographed in place because the rules of evidence establish it should not be placed back into the crime scene once handled. And Studebaker picked it up before
    photographing it.

    Here is a brief primer on evidence handling: https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/disturbed-evidence

    As always, CTs attempt to make a mountain out of a level surface. We are not even talking a molehill here.




    This is what Huckster's famous for... logical fallacies.

    Translation:
    Huckster Sienzant is famous in this forum for the logical fallacies he
    uses, yet can't name.

    You deleted my point again!
    Translation: I couldn't rebut the points Hank made, so I will delete them, call them logical fallacies, and call him 'Huckster' instead of even trying to rebut his points.





    Let me know if you need any more help with that.

    Hilarious! When I point out logical fallacies, I call them out by name and cite for why they are logical fallacies. You allege supposed logical fallacies, but never name them, and more often that not, are begging the question or shifting the burden in
    your claims of logical fallacies by others. I pointed out how your asking about my supposed logical fallacy was actually an example of you begging the questions and a false dilemma.

    I did that here, today: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/iUBlFBg7Tdo/m/JxctQVVtAwAJ
    So Gil is simply repeating conspiracy mythology, as Warren Reynolds ID of Oswald didn’t change.
    Are you honest enough to corrrectly label this logical fallacy?

    Or will you dodge and run away again?

    I can name both of them. You are utilizing the logical fallacy of BEGGING THE QUESTION, and inserting into your first point the very assertion you must prove.
    https://www.txst.edu/philosophy/resources/fallacy-definitions/begging-the-question.html#:~:text=The%20fallacy%20of%20begging%20the,stand%2C%20that%20is%20in%20question.

    You assert, but do not prove, I committed a logical fallacy. Try proving it to start.

    In your second question, you are committing the logical fallacy of a FALSE DILEMMA, by offering only two possible responses by me (either I admit I committed a logical fallacy or I run away).
    https://www.scribbr.com/fallacies/false-dilemma-fallacy/#:~:text=false%20dilemma%20fallacy-,What%20is%20the%20false%20dilemma%20fallacy%3F,(when%20they%20are%20not).

    The third option is the one you ignored, where I point out your two logical fallacies.

    That's what he calls "research".

    Should we expect any more from these LN trolls ?
    Just like the Warren Commission they support.

    Oh, Oswald didn't own a 7.65 Mauser ? Well, it was really a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.

    That's what the Kleins business records show...

    Produce it, let's examine it together...

    Ben deletes the proof I produce...


    Presumably, Huckster is speaking about this:

    https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm


    But this is a LOOOOONNNG way away from proving that Oswald owned a Mannlicher Carcano.

    You deleted the proof, then supply part of it back, then complain the proof is not complete.
    Instead of playing games with the evidence, respond to what I posted.

    Ben deletes the proof I produced, then asks me to produce it. Typical nonsense. Here it is again, so Ben can ignore it for a second time:
    That's what the Kleins business records show, that Oswald was shipped a 6.5 MC bearing the serial number C2766.
    https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm Coincidentally, the same serial number that was on the weapon recovered from the Depository by J.C.Day and marked into evidence by Day.
    Mr. BELIN. Do you have any record of that with you or not?
    Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; this is the record I made of the gun when I took it back office. Now, the gun did not leave my possession.
    Mr. BELIN. From the time it was found at the School Book Depository Building? Mr. DAY. Yes, sir; I took the gun myself and retained possession, took it to the office where I dictated----
    Mr. BELIN. Could you just read into the record what you dictated.
    Mr. DAY. To my secretary. She wrote on the typewriter: "4 x 18, coated, Ordinance Optics, Inc., Hollywood, California, 010 Japan. OSC inside a cloverleaf design."
    Mr. BELIN. What did that have reference to?
    Mr. DAY. That was stamped on the scopic sight on top of the gun. On the gun itself, "6.5 caliber C-2766, 1940 made in Italy." That was what was on the gun. I dictated certain other stuff, other information, for her to type for me.
    Mr. BELIN. Well, you might just as well dictate the rest there.
    Mr. DAY. "When bolt opened one live round was in the barrel. No prints are on the live round. Captain Fritz and Lieutenant Day opened the barrel. Captain Fritz has the live round. Three spent hulls were found under the window. They were picked up by
    Detective Sims and witnessed by Lieutenant Day and Studebaker. The clip is stamped 'SMI, 9 x 2.'"

    Oswald was shipped the C2766 rifle, that's the serial number of the rifle found in the Depository.
    Separate from that evidence, that weapon bore Oswald's prints.
    Separate from that, Oswald was photographed with that weapon.



    Indeed, the complete lack of any cleaning equipment, rounds, ANYTHING related to owning a rifle is completely missing from the inventory of
    what he owned.

    Sorry, Gil's point concerned a rifle: "Oswald didn't own a 7.65 Mauser ? Well, it was really a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano."
    You're trying to argue by inference.



    Huckster's well aware of the evidence he's lying by omission about...

    You want to change the subject because the evidence doesn't support you.


    Oh, Oswald didn't own a .38 automatic ? Well, it was really a revolver. >>>
    Exactly as described...

    There you go, lying again.

    There you go, deleting the evidence provided by the witnesses who saw Oswald unloading and reloading a revolver.

    Exactly as described by numerous witnesses at the scene who saw the gunman leaving the scene. For example, the Davis sisters (or sisters in law) and Benavides:

    Virginia Davis: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/vdavis.htm "The man that was unloading the gun was the same man I saw tonight as number 2 man in a line up."

    Barbara Davis: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/bdavis.htm "...I saw this man walking across my front yard unloading a gun."

    Domingo Benavides: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/benavide.htm
    Mr. BELIN - All right. Now, you said you saw the man with the gun throw the shells?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir.
    Mr. BELIN - Well, did you see the man empty his gun?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - That is what he was doing. He took one out and threw it.
    Mr. BELIN - Do you remember in which hand he was holding his gun?
    Mr. BENAVIDES - No; I sure don't.
    Mr. BELIN - Do you remember if he was trying to put anything in the gun also? Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes. As he turned the corner he was putting another shell in his gun.



    Ben deletes the evidence...


    You are flat lying.

    You've deleted the statements of the cited witnesses three times now:
    Exactly as described by numerous witnesses at the scene who saw the gunman leaving the scene. For example, the Davis sisters (or sisters in law) and Benavides:

    Virginia Davis: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/vdavis.htm "The man that was unloading the gun was the same man I saw tonight as number 2 man in a line up."

    You know full well the evidence for an automatic
    being used in this case, and you then pretend that eyewitnesses
    DESCRIBED the revolver.

    I quoted what the witnesses who came forward on the first day said. None of them gave testimony consistent with an automatic. They described the gunman manually reloading the weapon. You can't rebut that evidence, so you delete it.

    Here it is again:
    Exactly as described by numerous witnesses at the scene who saw the gunman leaving the scene. For example, the Davis sisters (or sisters in law) and Benavides:

    This is both a lie of omission, and a logical fallacy.

    You make claims the evidence doesn't support.


    And unlike Corbutt, Chuckles, or Chickenshit, you *DO* know the
    evidence well enough to understand that you're not being truthful.

    Begged question logical fallacy once more. I know what the evidence supports, and I cite for my claims.




    I understand...


    No you don't.

    You deleted the bulk of my sentence there.
    I wrote: I understand you couldn't deal with the evidence I posted, so you deleted it and claimed I was untruthful.

    That's exactly what you did, and what you've done repeatedly.


    Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds.

    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds?
    Steve Keating, for one:
    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/152dp7pvUFI/m/MwPcbuqHTT0J

    R2Judge, for another.
    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/5Tv-SPjBw_k/m/5FOMBRuYvAIJ

    Tony Marsh... many times, here's just one:
    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.assassination.jfk/c/mSHuS_iv730/m/ghfih-WWwiQJ

    John McAdams, yet another...
    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.assassination.jfk/c/naG8f8ip3lM/m/S4xSgqX7A3wJ

    Now, I only needed one to prove you a liar.

    Nope.

    You deleted the bulk of my response here as well.

    Nope. We're not examining those person's claims. Gil is talking about the Warren Commission's argument.
    Gil said this as a lead-in to his series of straw man claims:
    "Just like the Warren Commission they support."

    And I made that clear in my response. And I provided exactly what the Commission said about the timing of the shots. You don't get to change the subject to what some other posters said (some of whom are dead and no longer able to clarify or defend their
    claims).
    Here's again the evidence concerning the Commission's conclusions concerning the timing of the shots, establishing Gil's claim is nonsense:
    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds? The Commission never did. They said it could have taken over 7.9 seconds or more if the first or third shot missed:
    https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-3.html#timespan
    "If either the first or third shots missed, then a minimum of 2.3 seconds (necessary to operate the rifle) must be added to the time span of the shots which hit, giving a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots. If more than 2.3 seconds
    elapsed between a shot that missed and one that hit, then the time span would be correspondingly increased."
    In other words, if the time span between the the first and second shot was 2.9 seconds, then the total time span would be 2.9 + 5.6 seconds, or 8.5 seconds.

    You change the subject from what the Commission said to what other posters said, and expect me to defend their claims. I've been called a Warren Commission defender numerous times. Nobody has ever called me a Steve Keating or John McAdams defender. But
    that's what you want to sidetrack the discussion to.

    You asked who said it... implying that no believer has ever said this
    - although this is EXACTLY what Gil pointed out.

    I wasn't implying that. I don't track what everyone has claimed in the history of this case. I was pointing out that Gil - who fashions himself a Warren Commission Critic -- apparently doesn't know what the Commission actually said, he only knows what
    claims the published critics have tried to shove into the Commission's mouth.



    I've answered the question, proving you a liar.
    We're not examining those person's claims.
    Yes moron, that's EXACTLY what we're doing.

    You can do that to your heart's content. But Gil doesn't describe himself as a Steve Keating critic. He's a self-described WC critic.



    Gil made that clear... and you're desperately trying to change what he clearly stated into something else... AFTER you just got spanked again
    by me.

    Gil is a self-described WC critic.



    Gil is talking about the Warren Commission's argument.
    So you believe that that when Gil said: "Everytime they can't deal
    with the evidence, they just revise the evidence." he was referring to
    the WC.

    YOU'RE A MORON AND A VERY *STUPID* LIAR!

    I believe Gil when he claims he's a Warren Commission critic.



    And clearly, you're at the point of molesting your own mother when you
    read what Gil said, and assert that you think that he's talking about
    the WC. It's CRYSTAL CLEAR what he's talking about.
    Gil said this as a lead-in to his series of straw man claims:
    "Just like the Warren Commission they support."
    That was an aside, not a lead in.

    And provably so.

    That's not the way I read it. This self-described WC critic was talking about the Commission there.



    As demonstrated by his first sentence, his first, second, third and
    fourth paragraphs, and concluding sentence.

    You're simply a liar... desperately trying to get out of the mess
    you've dropped YOURSELF into.

    I cited the evidence supporting my claims. Neither you nor Gil did. You guys make unproven claims and complain when they aren't rebutted.


    And I made that clear in my response.
    You asked the question, I spanked you with answers you thought I
    couldn't give.

    This happens ALL the time... believers honestly think that they can
    stump us with questions we won't answer...

    Yet I've embarrassed believers time and time again... and asked
    questions no believer has EVER dared answer.

    You included.

    Do you need an example to run from?
    And I provided exactly what the Commission said about the timing of
    the shots. You don't get to change the subject to what some other
    posters said (some of whom are dead and no longer able to clarify or defend their claims).
    You asked the question - you got a legitimate answer.

    You referenced supposed claims by posters not here - some of them deceased, but did not cite for any of them.
    I pointed out I'm not a Steve Keating defender nor John McAdams defender. I am not talking about what they said, I'm citing what the Commission said. You suddenly don't want to discuss what the Commission said relative to what Gil said.

    Why is that?



    You tried to imply a lie... and you got spanked for it.


    You change the subject from what the Commission said...


    Gil was speaking about believers, you asked **WHO** had said that. You didn't ask which "investigation" came to that conclusion.

    You're twisting in the wind right now... desperate to get away from
    the proof that you're a liar.

    Gil spanked you.

    Gil didn't cite for any of his claims. You define that as a spanking? Hilarious!

    I cited for the my claims. You deleted it. Who exactly is doing the supposed spanking here?



    I just supported it with the evidence you implied didn't exist.

    What evidence did you cite?

    Who said the assassination happened in 5.6 seconds? The Commission never did. They said it could have taken over 7.9 seconds or more if the first or third shot missed:
    https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-3.html#timespan
    "If either the first or third shots missed, then a minimum of 2.3 seconds (necessary to operate the rifle) must be added to the time span of the shots which hit, giving a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots. If more than 2.3 seconds
    elapsed between a shot that missed and one that hit, then the time span would be correspondingly increased."
    In other words, if the time span between the the first and second shot was 2.9 seconds, then the total time span would be 2.9 + 5.6 seconds, or 8.5 seconds.

    Gil pretended the Commission concluded 5.6 seconds and WC defenders have changed that to 8.5 seconds:
    "Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds."

    Except the Commission didn't conclude that, did they? The 5.6 seconds is an argument for the shortest possible time, which many critics have adopted as the only possible time advanced by the Commission.


    This is what believers do all the time, they simply move on, and
    absolutely REFUSE to retract previously made statements.
    Notice that Huckster's embarrassed that he asked a question so easily
    and correctly answered.

    You threw out some names. You didn't document anything, and it's beside the point in any case.


    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey.
    Non refutation deleted.

    I pointed out...


    What part of "non refutation" didn't you understand?

    What part of my explanation didn't you understand? You keep running from it, without addressing any of it.
    The jacket in evidence appears darker in photographs taken in artificial light than it does in bright sunlight. This is true because of the nature of film.


    Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.
    Sheer speculation deleted.

    No...


    Yes.

    Ben runs from my point once more.


    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.

    The evidence establishes...

    That Gil is right.

    No...


    Yes.

    You deleted my point again!

    No, I changed Gil's response to the actual one advanced by the Commission, and cited the evidence for the Commission's conclusion. True to form, you deleted it:
    No, the rifle was disassembled because Oswald ordered a 36-inch rifle, and constructed a 38-inch bag. But he was actually shipped a 40.2-inch rifle.

    Rifle Oswald Ordered: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xkdKVRtQe3k/UrKs7tMMUUI/AAAAAAAAxbE/9XTcHWjNbuE/s535/Kleins-Rifle-Ad-February-1963.jpg

    Rifle Oswald was shipped bore the serial number C2766: https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh21/html/WH_Vol21_0364a.htm

    Rifle recovered from Depository bore the serial number C2766: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/factoid6.htm

    Oswald ordered a 36-inch rifle.
    The rifle shipped Oswald bore the serial number C2766.
    The rifle found in the Depository bore that same serial number but measured 40.2 inches.
    And here's Frazier's testimony on that:
    Mr. EISENBERG - Can you explain why someone might call Exhibit 139 a German-made Mauser rifle or a Mauser bolt-action rifle?
    Mr. FRAZIER - The Mauser was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, and the basic bolt-action rifle, from which many others were copied. And since this uses the same type of bolt system, it may have been referred to as a Mauser for that reason.
    ...
    Mr. EISENBERG - Have you measured the dimensions of this rifle assembled, and disassembled?
    Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, I have.
    Mr. EISENBERG - Could you give us that information?
    Mr. FRAZIER - The overall length is 40.2 inches. It weighs 8 pounds even.



    Take your spanking like a man, and learn from it.

    Your ability to convince yourself you are winning the argument here when the only one citing the evidence has been me is simply astounding.

    That's what the Kleins business records show...

    Indeed, the complete lack of any cleaning equipment, rounds, ANYTHING

    This is both a lie of omission, and a logical fallacy.

    Now, I only needed one to prove you a liar.

    Nope.

    You...


    Me.


    I've answered the question, proving you a liar.
    We're not examining those person's claims.
    Yes moron, that's EXACTLY what we're doing.

    Gil made that clear... and you're desperately trying to change what he
    clearly stated into something else... AFTER you just got spanked again
    by me.

    Gil is talking about the Warren Commission's argument.
    So you believe that that when Gil said: "Everytime they can't deal
    with the evidence, they just revise the evidence." he was referring to
    the WC.

    YOU'RE A MORON AND A VERY *STUPID* LIAR!

    And clearly, you're at the point of molesting your own mother when you
    read what Gil said, and assert that you think that he's talking about
    the WC. It's CRYSTAL CLEAR what he's talking about.
    Gil said this as a lead-in to his series of straw man claims:
    "Just like the Warren Commission they support."
    That was an aside, not a lead in.

    And provably so.

    As demonstrated by his first sentence, his first, second, third and
    fourth paragraphs, and concluding sentence.

    You're simply a liar... desperately trying to get out of the mess
    you've dropped YOURSELF into.

    I cited ...


    No.


    And I made that clear in my response.
    You asked the question, I spanked you with answers you thought I
    couldn't give.

    This happens ALL the time... believers honestly think that they can
    stump us with questions we won't answer...

    Yet I've embarrassed believers time and time again... and asked
    questions no believer has EVER dared answer.

    You included.

    Do you need an example to run from?
    And I provided exactly what the Commission said about the timing of
    the shots. You don't get to change the subject to what some other
    posters said (some of whom are dead and no longer able to clarify or
    defend their claims).
    You asked the question - you got a legitimate answer.

    You...


    Answered the question. Yes.


    You tried to imply a lie... and you got spanked for it.


    You change the subject from what the Commission said...


    Gil was speaking about believers, you asked **WHO** had said that. You
    didn't ask which "investigation" came to that conclusion.

    You're twisting in the wind right now... desperate to get away from
    the proof that you're a liar.

    Gil spanked you.

    I just supported it with the evidence you implied didn't exist.

    This is what believers do all the time, they simply move on, and
    absolutely REFUSE to retract previously made statements.

    Notice that Huckster's embarrassed that he asked a question so easily
    and correctly answered.

    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey. >>>> Non refutation deleted.

    I pointed out...

    What part of "non refutation" didn't you understand?

    Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.
    Sheer speculation deleted.

    No...

    Yes.

    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.

    The evidence establishes...

    That Gil is right.

    No...

    Yes.

    Take your spanking like a man, and learn from it.

    Your ability...

    To correct your lies is still beyond dispute.

    I know the bag is said to be 38 inches long. How big are the flaps, and are they included in the length (pretty sure they are not)?
    So why did he make a bag too short to contain the actual rifle?

    Good question. Remember that Oswald ordered from an advertisement that specified a 36-inch rifle. And he was instead shipped a 40.2-inch weapon, as Kleins had run out of the shorter weapon.

    So he, not having measured the rifle he received (why would he?) assumed he needed to make a bag longer than 36-inches. He did, making one 38-inches in length from Depository paper, which was long enough to contain the 36-inch rifle he ordered. But
    not long enough to contain the 40.2-inch rifle he was shipped.

    Oops.

    So there he is, on the morning of 11/22/1963, in the Paine garage, with a bag too short to conceal a 40.2-inch weapon. What does he do?
    That is exactly what I was exploring, what did he do? Or more importantly, what did he *have* to do? Did he have to break down the rifle in order to conceal it or could he make this bag work without disassembling the rifle?
    He dismantles the rifle into two component parts, the stock and the barrel, each short enough to conceal within the 38-inch bag he made from Depository paper.
    Is that what Cardigan concluded? I honestly don`t know.
    And he smuggles the weapon into the Depository that way, and reassembles the weapon within the sniper's nest as he awaits the arrival of the President's motorcade.
    That could very well be what he did. In fact, it would be what I would bet (with a minor change, I think he probably assembled the rifle previously elsewhere, then put the assemble rifle back in the bag for transport to the SN) on if the truth could be
    determined for certain. What I was looking at is whether it was necessary to break the rifle down, or was there a work around?

    So lets look at Oswald in the Paine`s garage on the morning of the 22nd. He is surprised to find the rifle doesn`t fit in the bag he made. He needs a screwdriver to disassemble the rifle, which he probably wouldn`t have if he expected the rifle to fit
    in the bag. It is a garage, and garages often have tools or a toolbox around, so maybe he finds one or knows where one can be found. So he breaks down the rifle. Now he has two parts, which have the potential to cause problems, They move around, make
    noise when they hit each other, and can possible tear the bag. But he has the solution to these problems right in his hand. The blanket the rifle was stored in. It deadens sound, and can be used to cushion parts. But instead he drops the parts in the bag
    and goes on his way.

    Or, he opts to find a way to make the bag work with a rifle that isn`t disassembled.

    I can go deeper on that, but I`ll leave it there for now. But I will say this, I`m am confident I could take the full assassination rifle, put it in the bag in evidence and lay it on the backseat of a car in such a way as there would be no part of the
    rifle visible.
    If he realized the rifle was not the 36-inch weapon he ordered, he could have and would have made the bag 42 or 43-inches long, and the rifle would not have to be disassembled.
    I think there is little doubt he didn`t have the rifle on hand when he made the bag. If he had the rifle handy he would just manufacture the bag around the rifle.
    The fact he constructed a 38-inch bag speaks eloquently to the fact he never measured the rifle he received, and simply assumed it was the 36-inch weapon he ordered.
    Like I said, I was exploring different options. The common assumption (from CTers and LNers alike) is that the rifle needed to be broken down to fit in the bag. I`m not convinced this was a necessity.

    According to the FBI, and testimony, the paper tape came out of the machine wet, and ready to be applied. The bag was therefore made within the Depository, within a minute or two of pulling the tape out. To get around this, Oswald could have made the bag
    without the flap, which would make the bag longer, but then, in the Depository while awaiting the motorcade, he would have to pull the tape off the bottom, create a flap, lick the used tape and reapply it to the flap.

    I don't see the necessity or a reason to do this. The bag was manufactured once, within the Depository, from Depository paper and tape.

    So why did he make a bag too short to contain the actual rifle?

    Good question. Remember that Oswald ordered from an advertisement that specified a 36-inch rifle. And he was instead shipped a 40.2-inch weapon, as Kleins had run out of the shorter weapon.

    So he, not having measured the rifle he received (why would he?) assumed he needed to make a bag longer than 36-inches. He did, making one 38-inches in length from Depository paper, which was long enough to contain the 36-inch rifle he ordered. But
    not long enough to contain the 40.2-inch rifle he was shipped.

    Oops.

    So there he is, on the morning of 11/22/1963, in the Paine garage, with a bag too short to conceal a 40.2-inch weapon. What does he do?
    That is exactly what I was exploring, what did he do? Or more importantly, what did he *have* to do? Did he have to break down the rifle in order to conceal it or could he make this bag work without disassembling the rifle?
    He dismantles the rifle into two component parts, the stock and the barrel, each short enough to conceal within the 38-inch bag he made from Depository paper.
    Is that what Cardigan concluded? I honestly don`t know.
    And he smuggles the weapon into the Depository that way, and reassembles the weapon within the sniper's nest as he awaits the arrival of the President's motorcade.
    That could very well be what he did. In fact, it would be what I would bet (with a minor change, I think he probably assembled the rifle previously elsewhere, then put the assemble rifle back in the bag for transport to the SN) on if the truth could
    be determined for certain. What I was looking at is whether it was necessary to break the rifle down, or was there a work around?

    So lets look at Oswald in the Paine`s garage on the morning of the 22nd. He is surprised to find the rifle doesn`t fit in the bag he made. He needs a screwdriver to disassemble the rifle, which he probably wouldn`t have if he expected the rifle to
    fit in the bag. It is a garage, and garages often have tools or a toolbox around, so maybe he finds one or knows where one can be found. So he breaks down the rifle. Now he has two parts, which have the potential to cause problems, They move around, make
    noise when they hit each other, and can possible tear the bag. But he has the solution to these problems right in his hand. The blanket the rifle was stored in. It deadens sound, and can be used to cushion parts. But instead he drops the parts in the bag
    and goes on his way.

    Or, he opts to find a way to make the bag work with a rifle that isn`t disassembled.

    I can go deeper on that, but I`ll leave it there for now. But I will say this, I`m am confident I could take the full assassination rifle, put it in the bag in evidence and lay it on the backseat of a car in such a way as there would be no part of
    the rifle visible.
    If he realized the rifle was not the 36-inch weapon he ordered, he could have and would have made the bag 42 or 43-inches long, and the rifle would not have to be disassembled.
    I think there is little doubt he didn`t have the rifle on hand when he made the bag. If he had the rifle handy he would just manufacture the bag around the rifle.
    The fact he constructed a 38-inch bag speaks eloquently to the fact he never measured the rifle he received, and simply assumed it was the 36-inch weapon he ordered.
    Like I said, I was exploring different options. The common assumption (from CTers and LNers alike) is that the rifle needed to be broken down to fit in the bag. I`m not convinced this was a necessity.
    According to the FBI, and testimony, the paper tape came out of the machine wet, and ready to be applied. The bag was therefore made within the Depository, within a minute or two of pulling the tape out. To get around this, Oswald could have made the
    bag without the flap, which would make the bag longer, but then, in the Depository while awaiting the motorcade, he would have to pull the tape off the bottom, create a flap, lick the used tape and reapply it to the flap.

    I don't see the necessity or a reason to do this. The bag was manufactured once, within the Depository, from Depository paper and tape.

    Hank, do you happen to know the how wide the depository paper was on the roll?

  • From David Von Pein@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 1 16:21:52 2023
    Regarding the possibility of a 40.2-inch object being able to fit inside a 38-inch paper bag, I had this exchange with David S. Lifton in 2016....

    DAVID LIFTON SAID:

    Later that morning [November 22, 1963], Lee Oswald was observed on the elevator, going upstairs, and passed a witness (and her supervisor) and they both saw him carrying a long package. "What'cha got there?" he was asked. And Lee responded that it was a "
    fishing pole." .... The witnesses who saw Oswald with the longer package (that he explained as "fishing rods") did not make their statements to the FBI, but certainly did talk about it years later. It was first published in 1988 in American History
    Illustrated. I communicated with the author--Ed Oxford--and found his research and interviews to be quite credible. (But that's a whole other story.)


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    I've never heard that fairy tale before in my life. Who is the female witness, David? And who's the "supervisor"?

    I'd love it if that story could somehow be proven to be true, though, because such a "fishing pole" lie being uttered by Lee Harvey Oswald would be just that much more of a solid indication that the package he was carrying on November 22nd contained his
    Carcano rifle.

    Such a "fishing pole" tale, if true, would mean that Oswald told different lies to different people throughout the day on 11/22/63 -- with Lee telling Buell Wesley Frazier that the package contained "curtain rods", while (allegedly) telling someone else
    later in the day that the (presumably) very same package had a "fishing pole" in it.

    You'd then have to ask yourself this question:

    Why didn't Oswald just stick with the same story about curtain rods that he started the day with when he drove to work with Frazier? Because the more nonexistent things he tries to cram into that brown paper package, the more obvious (and provable) his
    lies become.

    But I doubt any such "fishing pole" or "fishing rods" encounter ever happened in the first place, much the same way Robert Groden's bombshell "I Was Giving LHO Change At The Time Of The Assassination When We Heard The Shots" witness, Mrs. Reid, was a
    hoax too, with that wholly unbelievable story being invented many years later.

    Because if that story allegedly told by Mrs. Reid had even a grain of truth in it, we would have heard it coming from the mouth of Lee Oswald himself after his arrest — "Hey, why am I being accused of shooting the President?! I was in the office on the
    second floor at that time, getting change for the Coke machine! Just ask Mrs. Reid. She was right there with me!" (Oswald, of course, never said anything of the kind to the police after he was arrested.)


    DAVID LIFTON SAID:

    DVP:

    I'm not going to go further at this point in time. But the witness(es) exist and--from your post--you clearly understand the implications.


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    Well, then, what are the names of those two TSBD witnesses, David? I asked, but you failed to answer me. Or didn't Ed Oxford mention their names in his 1988 American History Illustrated article concerning the alleged "fishing pole/rods" statement?


    DAVID LIFTON SAID:

    You make a serious error when you refer to it as "that fairy tale" and I find it telling that you were unaware of the witness.

    Saying "I've never heard that fairy tale before in my life" is revealing.

    Surely you do understand that just because you are unaware of something does not mean it is non-existent.


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    Well, I'm certainly not alone, David. In fact, I'm in very good company when it comes to my ignorance on that topic. Because the late Vincent Bugliosi had apparently never heard the "fishing pole" tale either. No such information, at any rate, can be
    found on any of the 2800+ pages of "Reclaiming History", because I looked it up (via a word search in the PDF version of Bugliosi's book) and there are zero references to "fishing pole" or "fishing rods" relating to any kind of a story told by any Book
    Depository witnesses. So, like me, I guess Vince was in the dark about that particular story too.


    DAVID LIFTON SAID:

    Proving something like that to be true is important for the very reasons you stated: if true--i.e., if Oswald provided two separate (and different) explanations for the package would imply that Oswald was involved in deception; and of course, the
    ultimate implication was that what was in the package was neither curtain rods nor fishing rods.

    I'll pursue this matter further in the future.

    With regard to Buell Frazier .... I go way back to the original work done by the late George O'Toole, who emphasized how totally frightened Frazier was that weekend. Really "freaked out" (to use the more current vernacular).

    FWIW: I spent time with Michael Paine in 1995--at his home in Boxboro, Mass.--and he revealed how frightened he was; and actually started crying during my taped interview.

    I completely disagree with DiEugenio's oversimplified notion that these people (the Paines, Marina, etc.) are all crooked, etc. My impression, from watching several filmed interviews of Ruth Paine (particularly the ones you have archived on your thread #
    87) are very enlightening.

    [...]

    DiEugenio...just draws incorrect inferences, talks glibly, postulates false hypotheses (particularly about Ruth Paine), and then mounts his high horse and engages in slander.

    To close again with your own quote: "Such a "fishing pole" tale, if true, would mean that Oswald told different lies to different people throughout the day on 11/22/63 -- with Lee telling Buell Wesley Frazier that the package contained "curtain rods",
    while (allegedly) telling someone else later in the morning that the (presumably) very same package had a "fishing pole" in it." Agreed. That is exactly the case; only I would not say "throughout the day." That [is] an inaccurate characterization of the
    situation. There are only two points on the time line. Two separate times when he spoke to the issue of what was in the package.

    Regarding the question you posed: it's a reasonable one. And I don't have a great answer. But one possibility does occur to me: that when Frazier saw him with the package (early in the morning of 11/22) the rifle was "disassembled", whereas when the "
    elevator" witness saw him with it, it had been completely assembled and was "thinner" and somewhat longer; consequently, "curtain rods" would not be an adequate explanation for the second observer (or observers).


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    But via the scenario that you just outlined, David, the completely assembled 40.2-inch rifle would have been too long for the 38-inch brown paper bag Oswald was carrying it in [CE142], and, hence, part of the gun would likely have been sticking out of
    the top (or bottom) of the bag when the two TSBD witnesses (allegedly) saw Oswald carrying it in the elevator on 11/22/63. Unless the gun could have been placed into the bag at a slight angle, which might have made it possible for a 40-inch object to be
    completely hidden within a 38-inch paper bag. But I've never done any experiments on this before, so I'm not sure if the 2.2-inch differential in the lengths could be completely compensated for by putting the rifle into the bag at an angle.

    Now, I suppose any of the above speculative scenarios are possible, I don't deny that. But allowing part of the weapon to protrude out of the bag (if, in fact, the gun could not be put into the bag in a way to conceal the entire length of the C2766
    Mannlicher-Carcano carbine) would have been a risky thing for Oswald to do.

    But, I guess under such a circumstance, Lee wouldn't have had too many choices either. He probably wouldn't want to construct a whole new bag from Troy West's TSBD wrapping table just for the purpose of transporting the rifle up to the sixth floor from a
    lower floor. So, as an alternative, he could possibly have placed his hand over the end of the bag (where the rifle was protruding), in order to temporarily hide the gun from any prying eyes that might want to gaze upon it as Lee ascended to the sixth
    floor. Such a "fly by the seat of your pants" plan would certainly be possible and doable, IMO.

    I still have great doubts about the "fishing pole" / "fishing rods" story, however. But I will readily admit that I could be wrong when it comes to my deep skepticism on this matter. In fact, as I said earlier....

    "I'd love it if that story could somehow be proven to be true...because such a "fishing pole" lie being uttered by Lee Harvey Oswald would be just that much more of a solid indication that the package he was carrying on November 22nd contained his
    Carcano rifle."

    Why would you expect there to be. He was photographed with the rifle. His palm print was

    Here's the problem:

    Evidence exists for all that stuff. Multiple investigations have examined the evidence and concluded it is legitimate. You reject all that evidence, and don't accept it. If those multiple investigations haven't convinced you the evidence exists, my
    repeating their conclusions here (and citing for them) won't convince you either.

    He constructed the bag. He went to Irving to get his rifle. He brought it to work. That establishes

    Speculation isn't evidence.


    And even if a man lies about the contents of a package he's carrying, does Davey boy assume that telling that lie is "a solid indication" that the man is a murderer ?
    Is every liar a murderer ?


    Logical fallacies simply show that you have no facts.

    All of these lone nut trolls make me laugh.
    They come here all high and mighty, proclaiming themselves to be the "sane" ones
    here to straighten out the "kooks" and then they come up with bullshit like this.
    How is asking for the facts about the bag "bullshit"?
    This mental midget found some asshole's opinion on a forum and tried to pass it off
    as fact.
    Ass backwards as usual. I searched for the dimensions of the bag and this came up. I first started looking through Day`s, Frazier`s and Cadigan`s testimony and came up empty so I tried general google searches.
    An opinion, BTW, that has no basis in fact and is not supported by any corroborating evidence.

    That's what he calls "research".
    I found and posted a link to the actual bag, stupid. That was what I called research, stupid.

    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/jfkinfo3/exhibits/ce142.jpg
    Should we expect any more from these LN trolls ?
    Just like the Warren Commission they support.

    Oh, Oswald didn't own a 7.65 Mauser ? Well, it was really a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
    Oh, Oswald didn't own a .38 automatic ? Well, it was really a revolver. Oh, Oswald couldn't fire three shots in 5.6 seconds ? Well, it was really 8.5 seconds.
    Oh, Oswald didn't own a white jacket ? Well, it was really tannish-grey. Oh, the rifle was longer than the bag ? Well, the bag was really 41 inches.
    You do better with strawmen than the actual arguments.
    Everytime they can't deal with the evidence, they just revise the evidence.
    We just look at it correctly.

    Which sometimes means "at all".

    Oh boy, another "winner" for Davey boy to post on his blog.

    Except that there is:

    No evidence that Oswald picked up the rifle at the Dallas Post Office.

    Why would you expect there to be.
    Normal postal regulations.

    Like?

    He was photographed with the rifle.
    Is that what you believe?

    What reason is there not to?

    His palm print was on the rifle.
    Not according to the best evidence...

    Who cares about your subjective op[inions?

    A logical inference can be drawn that he picked up the rifle.
    So you agree that there's no evidence that Oswald picked up the rifle
    at the Dallas Post Office.

    The photo of him holding it speaks to him picking it up.

    Why didn't you just say that?
    No evidence Oswald took a 38 inch package to work on the morning of November 22nd, 1963.

    You're lying. A 38 inch package was found in the TSBD with his prints on it. You're lying.

    Your denials are menaingless.

    Simply another logical fallacy on your part.
    No evidence Oswald brought a 38 inch package into the building.

    Another lie.
    Indeed. On your part.

    Notice folks, that Corbutt cited *NOTHING*.

    So you can look at it incorrectly?

    No evidence that Oswald ever had an opportunity to construct the 38 inch paper "gunsack".

    Still more lies. He worked in the building with the materials to make the bag. Do you think they
    kept a guard around that station?
    No-one who's read the testimony would call that the truth.

    There is no reason to believe it impossible for Oswald to make the bag at work unobserved.

    You're lying again, Corbutt.
    No evidence that the "gunsack" ever contained a rifle.

    Another lie. Fibers matching his rifle blanket were found in the bag. Untrue... another blatant lie.

    The fact that the rifle was known to be at one location and then was found at another and Oswald was seen carrying a long package between those location sis evidence that the rfile was in the bag.

    No evidence that the rifle was fired on Nov. 22nd.

    Jesus, even for you that's a whopper. Shells from that rifle were found at the window where
    the shooter was seen.
    Not much of a heavy thinker, are you?

    Actually it is Gil who is too stupid to figure out that rifle was fired that day.

    No evidence that Oswald fired the rifle.

    Fibers matching his shirt were on the butt plate.
    THE WRONG SHIRT!!! You prove yourself an ignorant moron.
    No evidence Oswald knew in advance that the motorcade would pass in front of his place of work.
    No evidence that Oswald was on the sixth floor at the time of the shooting.

    Howard Brennan said in sworn testimony he saw Oswald there. Sworn testimony is evidence.
    You failed to mention the intimidation Howard Brennan faced.

    Did he say he was forced into saying he saw Oswald in that window?

    Indeed,
    you're too dishonest to acknowledge what HE said on that topic.
    No evidence that Oswald went to Irving on the evening of the 21st to retrieve a rifle.

    We have evidence he went to Irving and returned to work with the rifle.
    No you don't. You'll never cite any such evidence.

    Oswald`s movements from where the rifle was to where it was found.

    No evidence that Oswald had any animosity towards the President.

    None is needed.
    Believers, when faced with a complete lack of motive, start crying...

    Idiots, when faced with the fact that none is needed, start crying...

    No evidence that Oswald planned the assassination in advance.

    He constructed the bag. He went to Irving to get his rifle. He brought it to work. That establishes
    forethought.
    Speculation isn't evidence.

    You have no critical thinking or reasoning skills to apply to the evidence, so it does you no good. Gil is the same.

    And even if a man lies about the contents of a package he's carrying, does Davey boy assume that telling that lie is "a solid indication" that the man is a murderer ?
    Is every liar a murderer ?
    Logical fallacies simply show that you have no facts.

    For thinking people indications indicate things.
