Why wasn't the MC tested?

The cops were desperate to tie Oswald and the rifle found in the TSBD to the
shooting. The cops had the rifle. Why didn't they follow basic procedure and
check whether the rifle had been fired by testing the interior of the barrel
for bullet, primer, and powder residue? But lo and behold, this wasn't done.
Why not? The conclusions i draw from this fact is that either they knew the
rifle hadn't been used in the shooting, or they did check for residue and the
result was negative and this fact was concealed. The fact that they didn't test
if the rifle had been recently fired suggests that the rifle had not been
recently fired. It was just used as a prop to implicate Oswald.

What test existed for them to use that would have been able to tell if
any "bullet, primer, and powder residue" found was an hour old ... or
a month ... or a year?

What I find somewhat striking is that there are no recorded comments
on what they did have at their disposal ... the sniff test. The smell
of recent firing should have been noticeable ... particularly when the
bolt was worked.

Hi Barb
Hey, It's not rocket science. Anyone can run a clean white patch down the bore
and can see, with the naked eye, the difference in a clean bore and a bore that
has had a least one round fired through it. i've done it many times myself,
during my target shooting and reloading days. This could have at least told us
if the rifle had ever been fired after shipment, or since the last time it was
cleaned. I think it's significant that this simple test wasn't done. There may
have been more sophisticated tests by experts to determine the length of time
since firing. For sure, a swab that comes out with powder residue and plain old
dust would show the gun had not recently been fired.

I also thought about the smell test, but since i'm not sure how long the odor
of burnt powder and primer residue lingers, i can't make any useful comment.
All noses are different. :-)

If they would have done as you suggest, and the your test showed the
rifle had been fired, would that change your mind one bit? If you
believe all the other evidence is rigged, how hard do you think it
would be to rig one more tiny detail? Is this the reseach that is
going to solve this case? Second guessing what was done 40 years ago?

You're right, Bud.... If one is asking the question; " Why wasn't the rifle
tested to see if it had been fired?" in other than a rhetorical manner. (
which is what Dave was doing) Asking the question in rhetoric merely
illuminates the FACT that the authorities CLAIMED it was not tested. And
that is either CRIMINAL negligence or collusion. Dave was merely using this
information to illuminate one more example of the police covering up the
evidence and framing Oswald.

Walt

P.S. Dave's right.....Ir would have been very easy to run a clean patch
through the bore of the rifle, and then analyze any residue found on the
patch to see of that residue matched the residue from the inside of the
spent cartridges.....

While searching the web for a possible answer to this question, i did find this
interesting page on analysis of gunshot residue.

http://www.jwharbert.com/gsranalysis.htm

Here is a section that raised another question in my mind. Was the window frame
and surrounding area in the so-called snipers nest tested for gunshot residue?
I think the answer is obvious, since if the rifle itself wasn't tested,
well....

<quote>
GSR residue comes out of the gun in “blowback”. It exhausts from the
muzzle, cylinder or any leaky areas in a cloud of residue. Conceivably a person
standing beside the shooter will have GSR on his person. It is unlikely that it
will be on a bystander’s hands in threshold quantities. This should be noted
because the SEM examination for GSR positively identifies actual particles of
GSR. Using this test, it would be possible to positively identify particles of
GSR on an individual standing in the vicinity of the shooting. Tests have shown
that residue in the emissions around a discharging gun will be deposited
several feet to each side and to the rear of the shooter. GSR has been detected
as much as 14 feet down range of the muzzle.
<unquote>

I'm still searching for info on how residue inside a rifle bore can be tested
for length of time since firing. I would think the characteristics of gunshot
residue change over time, and there should be a way to test this.

It's inconceivable that the FBI lab wouldn't have performed elementary tests
on the rifle..... The FBI lab techs would have known that after checking
the rifle thoroughly for latent prints and fibers it would be SOP to run a
patch through the bore for and check for gunpwder residue. The authorities
"claimed" the bore was never checked for evidence of recent firing..... But
I'll bet it was. Simply because it's so fundamental. The results must have
not supported their tale so they simply said the rifle wasn't tested.

You're right, Walt. The nay-sayers argument is that there is no way to tell how
long gunshot residue has been in the bore. The problem with this is they are
starting from the assumption that there "was" gunshot residue in the bore,
never considering the possibility that the rifle had "not" been fired since
it's last cleaning. One swab through the bore could have easily determined this
one way or the other, and a negative result would have completely cleared
Oswald. This is just more proof the cops and FBI were only looking for evidence
against him, and steered clear of anything that could have been exculpatory.

Gunshot residue also stays on clothing for a long time. Was the simple test for
gunshot residue on his clothing done? Hell no, they couldn't chance finding
exculpatory evidence.

I agree completely, but i would think "smell" evidence is more subjective than
scientic. Perhaps there is a need for a high-tech sniffing device that could
detect different odors. :-)

As always, hysterical claims. Are they valid claims? Who knows? Can
you prove that running a swab through the barrel of murder weapons was
something that was commonly done in murder investigations, and was
willfully disregarded in this one? Or are you talking out of your ass?

Dave was merely pointing out that he felt something was sinister,
when in fact he had nothing to back up that claim. Either produce data
that the Dallas police routinely ran a swab through the barrels of
guns in other murders, and willfully neglected to do so in this case,
or produce a witness who says "I was going to run the swab test, but
so-and so ordered me not to", or shut the fuck up.

Can you deal with the primer residue testing that proves rigging of evidence?

In particular, I refer to the NAA of the paraffin cast of Oswald's cheek. The
outer surface of the cast that was not in contact with Oswald contained
quantities of primer residuals comparable with the inner surface, which
contacted Oswald.

Besides finding otherwise incriminating evidence in the wrong place, the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, who did the NAA, reported no evidence of an
accidental contamination of the paraffin cast. They found barium and antimony
without noting any of the other heavy metals that would have accompanied barium
or antimony compounds from environmental sources.

My goodness....You seem to be coming unhinged. Take a deep breath and calm
down..... Were you a member of the Dallas Police Force?? Is that why you're
getting so upset. Not to worry.....If you one of the guilty you're still
safe....The cover-up is still alive and well in the government controlled
media.

We are not just talking about the Dallas PD failing to test the rifle....The
rifle was sent by special courier to the FBI lab in Washington D.C. It
arrived there in the early hours of 11/23/63. So The FBI was also
criminally negligent if they failed to test the rifle to see if it had been
fired recently.

Gee, I wonder where the term "smoking gun" ever came from.
But actually with that rifle and ammo you might not have a lingering
smell of gunpowder that long. You yourself could test this at home. I
can even test it for you.
But what you are proposing sounds uncomfortably like an actual forensic
investigation, something the DPD was not accustomed to.

I would also think that there should have been gunpowder residue on the
window sill and that was not tested.

he knows what the basic procedure the Dallas police used in `63. I
don`t think you do, either, but it didn`t stop you from saying them
not making these "tests" was something criminal and sinister. Then you

Yes, they sure did...and do you think that pouring molten sulfur down the
barrel obliterated any gunpwder residue that may have been there?? And does
sulfur (S) and water ( H2O) make sulfuric acid ( H2So4)?? Now what do you
think happened to the bore of that rifle when the sulfur combined with the
humidty of the air??? Do you think the result may have corroded the bore so
it was useless for ballistic testing at some future date?

Back to high school chemistry with you, Walt. Molten sulfur will not
produce sulfuric acid.

It is *sulfur dioxide" (SO2), the gaseous product of burning sulfur in the
air, not sulfur, that makes sulfurous acid (H2SO3), a weak acid which is a
major component of acid rain. It is not sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a much
stronger item.

Sulfur and water does create a corrosive substance.

There are FBI reports which substaniate my claim that the sulfur and

at the FBI "forgot" to clean the rifle bore after they made a sulfur

You do know that rational explainations exist to explain that circle

bullet does not appear in profile, where it would be impossible to

I don`t claim to know why everything was done. Perhaps the city of
Dallas didn`t want tourist flocking to see the scars of it`s
humiliation, maybe they wanted to get back to normal as quickly as
possible. That you guys can keep finding
things that seem fishy to you, and things that you "can`t understand"
is very understandable to me. Instead of listing all the things that
you "can`t understand", why don`t you take something like this curb
thing, or this rifle swatch thing, or the umbrella guy, or the
horn-beep at the boarding house thing, or any one of the dozens of
things you find sinister, and actually prove that something sinister
actually was done? Like so-and-so ordered so-and-so to fix the curb,
to destroy evidence. That there are things you "don`t understand" is
well established.

If everyone involved didn`t know what they were working on was a
presidential assassination before the assassination, they damn well
should have been able to figure it out after the fact. Unless they
found a way to keep the assassination a secret from the agents who
worked the different aspects of the assassination.
But, my assumption of at least dozens, and probably hundreds of
agents involved is derived from the CT claims of sinister activity...
if you want to claim the BY photos were fakes, it requires photo

is suspicious, or is fishy, or you "can`t understand", and you feel it
is the work of conspiracy, that work would have to be performed by
human beings. And the number of people required to do all the things
you find suspicious would be more than a few people. It would require

Yep. I've aware of at least one explanation that fits the known facts. I'm
still waiting for *your* explanation. Why didn't you mention it?

Please don't be shy - go ahead and explain this 6.5mm virtually round object.

Are you trying to tell everyone that you reject the Clark Panel, and the HSCA
experts?

*They* thought it was a bullet.

Just what expertise do you have to reject their considered opinion?

And just what *is* your explanation?

>Another ungodly stroke of luck that that

You apparently haven't read anything else I've posted about this topic. You
are, in this sentence, simply wrong.

Or again, you disagree with the Clark Panel and the HSCA. Which is it?

Can you come up with any reason *WHATSOEVER* to withhold exculpatory evidence in
a murder case?

Yeah, well that has happened once before. But, you don`t think the
conspirators are astoundingly lucky that the bullet did not come to
rest in a manner that the x-ry would show it from a side view?

Or you. I was giving one, of many, non-sinister, rational
explainations for the curb repair. You think that someone you can`t
name ordered the curb removed to cover up a huge conspiracy pulled off
by a lot of other people you can`t name. You only know them by thier
agencies.

Yes, you may have proven a curb was repaired. Well done. You just
can`t prove why that was done, or on who`s orders.

Yes, there is a circle on an x-ray. If I were to look at a million

Don`t presume, prove. You don`t allow the WC the luxury of
presuption. But, first, you said "the government". Then you said "The
Justice Department". That`s good, we`re getting it narrowed down. Now,
tell me the name of the person who made the decision for withholding
the information, and the reason for withholding it. And no guessing...

Ah! So you simply lied when you stated that there were "rational
explainations"?

Or, perhaps more accurately, *YOU* don't know what these "rational
explainations" are.

That is just normal for LN'ers... when confronted with physical evidence that
isn't to their liking, they simply ignore it.

Once again, you simply don't know the subject. The 6.5mm virtually round object
IS VISIBLE IN THE SIDE X-RAY.

You should learn the facts before you try to argue them.

I know that *I'd* be embarrassed to offer such an idea. Perhaps it doesn't
offend your sense of reality...

>You think that someone you can`t name ordered the curb removed

If I prove that the curb WAS PATCHED (not "removed"), then I don't particularly
have to prove 'who did it' (or ordered it.)

That you don't find this fact disturbing is just your particular biased reality.
Most people would call this "obstruction of justice". Not being a lawyer, I'm
not sure, but I suspect that this is a felony...

Actually, I *can* put a few names to those involved. I have in the past.

Nor have you been able to offer a *believable* reason for an innocent 'patching'
job. As for who did it, it's simply not necessary to demonstrate who did it, if
you demonstrate that it *was* done.

I know for a FACT that the WC failed to include this information... you can
disprove my statement by simply citing the relevant section of the WC volumes
that *does* contain this information.

There *IS* no valid reason to withhold exculpatory evidence in a murder case.
No need to "prove" it, since this is a valid point of law.

Yep... must have been LHO who patched that curb.

Well, I`m sick and tired of you folks and your "this is suspicious",
and "that is supicious". You`ve proven yourselves to good at picking
apart the WCR. Very good, thats like shooting at a cow tied to a tree.
You`ve proven yourselves to be good at second-guessing the
investigators. Very good, except you hate all the results of the
investigating that they did do, you only seem interested in what you
think they should have done.
What I would like to see, and never will, is for you to take one of
these things you find suspicious, like the curb being removed, and
prove that it was removed to destroy or conceal evidence, and name the
person who ordered it done. Because that curb has been removed for 40
years. If you can`t prove conspiracy in one small aspect of the case
like this, then you better hang up your spurs, cowboy. Your only hope
is that a lot of people start confessing thier hand in this conspiracy
real soon.

Oh, far from it! It's in the investigation, what little was done, that the best
demonstration of conspiracy is found. The problem has *always* been that the
WCR wasn't supported by it's own evidence. It's the investigation that *was*
performed that best illustrates the facts. But you have to be willing to accept
those facts, and not twist them to prove what they *don't* prove.

It's really amusing to see the ignorance that many LN'ers display about the
evidence. The curb was removed, indeed, by the FBI. There is *no* mystery
about this.

The problem is that the curb was *patched*. And that the FBI tested a patch,
rather than any marking left by a bullet.

There is no reasonable requirement to demonstrate WHO did it, if we prove that
it was done.

Are Nicole and Ron any less dead for not being able to prove "who did it"?

Is the evidence any less disturbed for lack of being able to prove who disturbed
it?

Is obstruction of justice any less a crime for not proving who did it?

>Because that curb has been removed for 40
>years. If you can`t prove conspiracy in one small aspect of the case

Are you confused? The latest government investigation *DID* produce a finding
of probable conspiracy.

I saw some in some posts. Not that interesting a topic to me. You

I wasn`t referring to the x-ray, I was referring to the object you

I`d be nice if you could show who ordered it done, but it would be
better if you could prove why it was done. Notice I say "prove", not
just "say" a reason.

You`re a suspicious guy. I kinda remember the FBI bulldozing the
Branch Davidian compound flat after that stand-off ended. Don`t
remember any charges. I know the did the same to the MOVE compound

I never disputed it was withheld. I challenged you to prove that it
was withheld for sinister reasons. The fact that you can`t think of a
reason that isn`t sinister doesn`t interest me.

Well, yes, but this isn`t a murder case, it`s a murder
investigation. Nobody went to court. If it was a murder case, that
information would have to be supplied to the defendant`s lawyer. The
same legal requirments do not apply to an investigation.

"probable conspiracy"? That`s a different thing than saying a
conspiracy was proven, right? With all this killer evidence you guys
claim to have, and you couldn`t even prove the conspiracy exists? Oh,
well, you tried...

You need evidence? Make an assertion, I'll provide the evidence.

As an example, you claim that there's no side view of the 6.5mm virtually round
object...

From the HSCA:
301. Skull X-ray No. 2, a lateral view of the head, reveals rather
marked disruption of the smooth contour of the skull on the right side
in the. temporal-parietal region, with multiple fractures through
other portions of the skull. There is sharp disruption of the normal
smooth contour of the skull 10 centimeters (as measured in the X-ray)
above the external occipital protuberance, with suggested beveling of
the inner table and with fracture lines radiating superiorly and
inferiorly. (See fig. 16, showing the beveling process.) At this point
there is an irregular, radiopaque, sharply outlined bullet fragment.

Now, would you care to provide YOUR proof that there is no side view of this
6.5mm virtually round object?

>>

Yet you're willing to try debating it.

Perhaps you should simply refuse to debate something you know very little of.

They 'exist'. You just can't name them.

A few LN'ers have tried. They thought it was a drop of developing fluid. Or
they tried claiming that this object *was* seen by the prosectors on the night
of the autopsy.

There has been NO explanation that has not been blasted away by me. Feel free to
search the archives.

This is why I challenge you to provide it. You *say* a rational explanation
exists, but you won't provide it. And then you sit back and carp about CT'ers
not providing evidence.

>> That is just normal for LN'ers... when confronted with physical evidence
>> that isn't to their liking, they simply ignore it.
>>
> Unlike CTs, who just claim it is planted.

As soon as you admit that there *is* no rational explanation for the 6.5mm
virtually round object, you'll be forced to admit that it *was* planted.

But by refusing to even prove your case, you don't have to face the facts.

And yet, you refuse to actually state what you think it is.

Why would you ask? This is the same question directed at CT'ers by LN'ers all
the time. Yet, when someone dares to ask *YOU* the question, you have no
answer?

Yep... one in the AP X-ray, and one in the Lateral X-ray.

Now, you claimed above that the conspirators were astoundingly lucky that the


bullet "did not come to rest in a manner that the x-ry would show it from a side

view".

Yet, the HSCA SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS this fragment, as quoted in para 301 above.

Now, would you like to provide the citation that demonstrates that the HSCA was
wrong? Or that you were correct when you said there *was* no side view of this
6.5mm virtually round object?

My crystal ball says you won't provide any evidence for your statement. Yet you
keep complaining that it's the CT'ers who won't provide evidence. Seems rather
ironic...

You don't even seem to understand just what is being discussed. There could
ONLY have been a "nefarious" reason to patch the curb. If you'll read the
testimony concerning the condition of that curb, you might figure this out.

Far easier than you can. *They* found probable conspiracy. Are you willing to
admit that?

>And why did you answer my question with a question?

Okay, let's deal with your question... as dumb as it is. If you were to look at
a million X-rays, the chances of you finding a circle that is PRECISELY the
diameter of a fatal bullet, and located in PRECISELY the same location that can
be CORROBORATED by a second X-ray taken from the side, would be zilch.

You see, it's *not* just a circle. It's a circle with a very precise diameter,
which just happens to match the assassination caliber. It's a circle that just
happens to be in the 'right place'. It's a circle that just happens to be
corroborated by a SECOND X-ray taken from a different direction.

Now, why won't you answer my question, which I've asked several times now - your
basis for concluding that the Clark Panel and the HSCA experts were wrong?

Could it be that you simply don't *have* any basis?

Silly.

Kindly provide ANY reason to withhold exculpatory evidence.

This was *not* a prosecution - this was supposed to be the most massive
investigation ever conducted.

Redlich when deposing Gallagher were the first two people to hide the facts.

Clarence Kelly with the FBI lied about the existence of the NAA files in an FOIA
request.

John Kilty, FBI Special agent. Lied about the existence of the NAA material in
court.

The lawsuit to release this information listed the Justice Dept and the ERD
(AEC) as defendents. (Civil Action No. 75-0226)

As for the specific individuals in the Justice Dept who ordered the non-release
of this information, Attorney General Mitchell is as good a name as any.

Now, reason withheld? There can only be one reason. I'll let *you* figure it
out.

(Of course, you have to understand that the NAA tests on the paraffin casts
precluded LHO from firing a rifle that day.)

Yep... and here you hit the nail on the head. This 'investigation' was NOT an
adversarial proceeding. Which of course prevented any evidence that the WC
didn't want from coming forward. It was merely a prosecution brief, not an
investigation.

Oh? And why was that?

What, you're unfamiliar with the CT stance and evidence?

Must be, since your equally unfamiliar with LN'er evidence.

You should start with the WCR, and the underlying volumes. Available on the
net.

>and you couldn`t even prove the conspiracy exists? Oh,

Succeeded... or have you failed to pay attention to the fact that close to 90%
of the American people believe that there was a conspiracy?

It's a telling indictment that even with the mass media and government
investigations behind them, LN'ers have been unable in 40 years to get more than
a small minority to believe them.

Well then, maybe you can get back the topic in the header. The
original dispute, before you steered the topic to this x-ray, was
whether it was suspicious behavior that the cops didn`t run a swab
through the rifle to prove whether it had been shot or not. Walt and
NoKetch made the assertion this was done with malice, without proving
such malice. Perhaps you can.

My last comment on this was "are there views available of that
object?" Notice the question mark? But, if you can direct me to where
I can view the two seperate views, maybe I can clear up this evidence
you seem to be having problems with.

So it appears as though great legal leeway is given in regards to
what constitutes destruction of evidence.

I am a firm believer in human error. You need to show the intent to
destroy evidence.

Thanks for supplying that. Seems the were reluctant to provide that
information. Motivations are difficult to ascertain, but easy to
assign. And reluctance to part with information that is damaging to
thier assassination theory is a different thing than what you charge
with the curb, which is criminal destruction of evidence. That would
require at least a similar documentation, which I haven`t seen. I`ve
just seen it said.

It`s hard not to notice it, with the CT constantly bringing it up.
Yes, it does seem that the idea of conspiracy has taken hold in the
imagination of the American public. I wonder what the percentage of
that 90% could say who JD Tippit was? No matter, you`re very good at
convincing people of conspiracy, very bad at bringing together enough
evidence to charge anyone with being a conspirator. So, either I am
right, and these conspirators don`t exist, or you are right, and they
have nothing to worry about.

Bud, This statement reveals how really obtuse you are.....

This case isn't going to be resolved by someone confessing their hand in the
crime.... We've had several of those already.... the government has the
resources to discredit anybody who threatens to expose the truth, and
they've used it many times.....

This crime is going to be solved when the whole rotten mess comes
unglued..... Just as Stalin's crimes were laid bare after his death.....and
the Soviet empire collapsed. It's gonna happen.....When the thieves and
thugs in Washington finally overburden the average citizen with taxes while
filling their pockets with our tax dollars.When there are more citizens
living off the workers, and sitting on their asses, than there are people
working and producing revenue, and paying taxes... the system will
collapse.....That's when we'll learn how really corrupt the government has
become since they blew John Kennedy's head off....

Try reading my previous posts on this topic, do an archives search for 6.5mm
virtually round object, and you'll see URL cites to X-rays on the net. Or,
presuming *any* sort of library on the topic, you *should* be able to reference
your own books on the topic... a number of JFK books have the X-rays shown.

As for "clearing up this evidence", it's not I that have problems with it, it's

And yet are willing to attempt to misrepresent the subject here on the
newsgroup.

You're either trying to assert that where the curb was hit was not evidence, or
that the patching 'enhanced' rather than destroyed the evidence.

Both of which are nonsense, of course...

Now you're trying to argue that patching the curb didn't destroy the evidence
because someone "didn't really mean to do it"... ROTFLMAO!!!

And you're a LIAR!!!

I offered, above, to provide that information, and stated that the only reason I
wasn't offering it at that time was that wasn't at home where my library of
books is located.

On my VERY NEXT POST - done at home, I gave the information I had previously
offered to give you.

You're a bald-faced liar for asserting that I was "reluctant to provide that
information".

If you're asking for a citation to demonstrate that the curb was patched, here's
a quote from another post on the topic:

********************************
....Good Day.... From the MAY67 "Esquire" magazine, here is a closeup photo of
the TAGUE curb impact scar as photographed on 23NOV63, and a photo of the curb
after the F.B.I. removed it on 04AUG64:

http://members.aol.com/DRoberdeau/JFK/TAGUEcurbSCARmarkCLOSE112363.gif

Here is what JAMES TAGUE said during a "Fox News" interview on 11NOV03:

<QUOTE>

There never was a hole.

It just took a little bit of concrete out.

He (HAROLD WEISBERG, my insertion) said, "Well, it has been patched."

Finally, in 1997, I went to the national archives with a magnifying glass to
examine this curb.

The assistant manager of the national archives was in this room.

I did not need my magnifying glass. I said, "It has been patched."

The assistant manager said, "Yes. I can see that."

I did find, I dug up -well, Harold gave it to me- an engineering report where,
in 1983, a major magazine had commissioned an engineering firm to examine the
curb.

They also confirmed that the curb had been patched.

The topic when you entered the thread was whether the fact that the
authorities were criminally negligent by not running a cloth swab
through the barrel of the assassination rifle to determine if it had
been fired. You injected the 6.5 subject, which I said was a subject I
was uninterested in, and not willing to engage in debate. You seem to

Untrue. There *have* been people who've come forward.

We *have* manufactured evidence... or do *YOU* care to explain the 6.5mm

virtually round object seen in the AP X-ray? Or the recently mentioned patch in
the curb?

And we *KNOW* that the government simply hid evidence that was exculpatory. Such


as the NA tests conducted by the AEC...

That *is* right out of the LN'er handbook.

In reality, the conspiracy probably had less than a dozen people who knew all
the facts.

As you can see, I made NO COMMENTS WHATSOEVER about the lack of a patch being

LOL!! Think about it a bit more...

Which is, quite obviously, not enough...

For someone attempting to claim that there was no manufactured evidence, you
seem strangely reluctant to actually look at the evidence of precisely that.

People who make the statement that there *are* explanations, but refuse to list
any of them, are cowards, IMO.

My contentions *are* proven. You just don't care to examine the evidence.

Feel free to try explaining the patching of the curb in terms OTHER than the
destruction of evidence.


And, before you do so, perhaps you should examine a few photos of the curb, so
you're prepared... There's a trap for the ignorant laying there...

So they concluded it was proven? Seems to me, you can only have one
of two conclusions. "Probably" isn`t a conclusion. Did they give the
odds? You know, 75% chance of conspiracy, something like that.

I lost confidence in the HSCA when they botched the audio evidence.
Now let me ask you one. How many more investigations do you need
before a conspiracy is proven?

Anything is possible. Hell, someday CT may even get somewhere with
all these "fun facts" they are collecting. I wouldn`t hold my
breath...

You`ve heard of people being charged with inadvertent destruction of
evidence? Of course you need to prove it was willful, purposeful, and
with malice for it to be criminal. Pouring sulfur down the gun barrel
isn`t a criminal destruction of evidence unless you can prove it was a
deliberate destruction of evidence.

Calm down, numbnut. That was a typo. I dropped the "y" in they.
They (the people you cited) were reluctant to provide the information
(the NAA material). My mistake, I should have been clearer in what I
was refering to. But you shouldn`t go off half-cocked with the "liar"
charges.

I don`t remember disputing the curb was patched. I disputed that
you could prove the motivation behind patching the curb. Not just
assign a reason, but actually prove the reason. I could give reasons,
but they would be guesses, devoid of testimony or corroberating
evidence, like your conclusion. You take my reason, and compare it to
your version, and decide you like yours better. What I was doing was
different. I was challenging you to prove your version. Unless you are
a coward...

Sure it was... you're trying to toss in "intent" into the debate. It's going to
backfire on you, because quite obviously you haven't taken a look at pictures of
the curb yet. Let me know when you do, and I'll expand on this point.

Yep... there *is* no alternative explanation, which should become clear to you
when you actually view a photo of the curb.

It WAS destruction of evidence... you keep thinking that intent had to be proven
before you demonstrate that the evidence WAS destroyed.

Come back when you've examined a photo of the curb, I have no intention of
backstabbing you on this issue. When you've examined the photos, then we'll
continue this. If you don't have access to photos of the curb, I'm sure I can
either locate some on the net, or scan in some photos and post them.


So you simply don't believe in the HSCA and their "expert" status. Okay. On
what basis have YOU decided that the 6.5mm virtually round object is not a
bullet? Did you study the X-rays? Have you measured the object? Are you a
forensic pathologist? Are you an expert on ammo? Are you a radiologist?

Just *what* is your basis?

Or is it merely an opinion tossed into the wind with no evidence to support it?


>Now let me ask you one. How many more investigations do you need
>before a conspiracy is proven?

It has been. Only the most strongly biased individuals, particularly those who
are unfamiliar with the evidence, hold otherwise.

Take a look at the photos, and we'll talk again. Ambushing you with the facts
would be far too easy, I'd rather that you were attempting to support your
statements with the actual facts in hand.

My apologies. I don't consider it "half-cocked", this *is* a written forum, and
people need to re-check what they type, but my accusation was wrong.

When you do that you change the evidence. The DPD turned the rifle over
to the FBI for testing.

Nor did I say you had. What you did say was... "You need evidence?
Make an assertion, I`ll provide the evidence." It seemed to me to be
an open invitation to any topic, so I choose the original one from the
thread. But you don`t have to discuss it if you don`t want to. Only an
asshole would keep insisting that someone must debate a topic they
expressed disinterest in.

Anyone who would allow another person to browbeat them into

This is the conspiracy newsgroup. Of course it`s for
misrepresentations.

"My argument" is asking you to prove the criminal tampering with
evidence that was alleged.

I did look at the pictures. Someone in this thread posted an URL, I
think. I saw a chuck of concrete with a white mark on it. Not a good
picture. So, do you need a drumroll, or aren`t you finished with the
teasers. Get to the proving, if you don`t mind...
I used to think they were infallible. After that business with the
audio tapes, I realized they were... *sniff*... only human. No telling

If conspiracy is proven why are you here? Why does this newgroup

I can hardly wait...

I intrigued. I`m enthralled. I`m losing interest. Spill it...

Yep... What I *don't* hear is any more silly comments from you about the 6.5mm

Oh, I'm sure the lurkers have caught on!

Any lurkers reading this.


You're making a *very* poor case for your original assertions.


You seem strangely reluctant to deal with the evidence that there *is*


manufactured evidence in this case.

>> For someone attempting to claim that there was no manufactured evidence, you

"Conspicuously absent in all the sinister things you allege went on
are any guilt-ridden agents coming forward in all these years saying
they were forced by superiors to plant evidence, manufacture
evidence, ect."

Caught in the web of your own making... yes, you *did* make this claim, and no,
it's clear that I am not 'lying' about what you said.


Nobody "browbeat" you into making statements that you can't support. You're a
coward for trying to weasel out of it.

You tried to claim that there *are* explanations, and refuse to name a single
one. Can't you get help from the censored newsgroup? Don't you have any LN'er
friends you can call on for help? Then, at least, you wouldn't appear to be the
liar that you appear now to be.


>> I've given you the option to put yourself in that category or not...

Good for you. I'll continue to point out that you made a statement that you
refuse to support, and let lurkers decide who's a coward and a liar.

Unfortunately for your interpretation, it's clear that the misrepresentations
are all coming from your side.

Afraid of the evidence, aren't you?

And I continue to point out that the evidence was *still* destroyed, and
required no proof of malice for the evidence to be destroyed.

Ah! I see that despite your challenge to "prove my scenario", you aren't
interested in debating it.

Or, of course, providing the "explanations" you said existed.

You mean like your refusal to "say" what "explanations" exist? Your failure to
"prove" that any alternative theory exists?

Perhaps that can be explained by my complete lack of effort.

I just asked for proof on your assertion that there was criminal
tampering with evidence in regards to the curb. Do or do not... there
is no try.

Now you compound your lies. I said that no one had come forward to
admit manufacturing evidence, and you said I claimed there was no
manufactured evidence. Liar, liar, pants on fire...

I`m still thinking I can comment as much or as little on a topic as
I decide.

And I told you why I wouldn`t. Shall we rehash it again?

To help me in the discussion of a topic I am not discussing?

> Don't you have any LN'er

Yes, me and my friends discuss that object in that x-ray all the
time. I just don`t want to discuss it with you, for I am paralyzed
with fear.

You really shouldn`t worry so much what other people think.

You said conspiracy was proven. Is that a truthful representation of
the facts?

> Afraid of the evidence, aren't you?

When I`m not lying.

So you can`t prove the criminal tampering with evidence? Or are you
just afraid?
