Yes, it is the frame of a film, but that still is a photograph.

Maybe it's there. I don't know. But Hank has asserted that the clip can be seen in a photo of Lt. Day leaving the building https://www.jfk-assassination.net/images/day_clip.gif. I see that. But, to me, it looks like it is not there when Day first examines the rifle https://postimg.cc/ZB3YG9jz. Maybe it is, but I don't see it. Why can't Hank, who sees the clip when Day is walking out, say that he sees it when Day is examining the rifle? If it's there, tell me it's there. Maybe it is. I don't know.

You're right that you can't see it, but it still could be there.

In this video, notice that although the clip is in the rifle, it is not visible in the ejection port at the bottom of the weapon.

Well, that's all Hank had to do. Pity he's not as clever as you. Yes, at least from that angle, the clip cannot be seen until it falls out. And it falls out when the last cartridge is chambered, before it is fired. So, if it was working properly, then it should have fallen out by the window. But the gun is an old piece of crap, so maybe it stayed put...until Day carried it out of the building and then it peaked out a bit. That must be Hank's explanation, I imagine. Amazing such a shitty old gun in the hands of a mediocre marksman could accomplish what trained experts with the thing fixed up couldn't.

Shit happens, hence the shit-eating grin on your boy Oswald's face as he raised his clenched fists in the Commie solidarity salute while cuffed and under arrest. Look at that smirk. Here's a man proud of his work that day:

No. I think he was JC Price's Running Man, the guy Price saw run from the picket fence to behind the TSBD. Plenty of time for Oswald to get up to the 2nd floor before Baker and Truly, and even before Vickie Adams came down.

Everything I believe about the assassination is supported by real, hard evidence. Not the shit
you whip up because it sounds good to you. The kind of evidence that tells us Oswald was the
assassin is the same kind that is used to solve countless other murders. Ballistics matching
bullets and shells to the suspected murder weapon. A paper trail establishing the primary
suspect was the owner of the weapon. The suspects prints on the murder weapon and at the
scene of the crime. Fiber evidence linking the suspect's shirt to the weapon and the bag to the
weapon. Medical evidence that proves conclusively where the fatal shots were fired from. We
also have things that we don't normally have in a murder case. Photos of the primary suspect
with both murder weapons. A film record of one of the murders.

And what do you counter with. A litany excuses for dismissing all that damning evidence.

You are just upset at Gil for exposing your nonsense, and now you’re taking it out on John.I.

So we’re done with the clip nonsense and you won’t be asking about again?

And Ben will concede that clip issue with a ‘mea colpa’ and likewise never argue again that the clip wasn’t in the rifle?

One silly conspiracy argument dead and buried.

But let’s see how long it takes until a conspiracy theorist resurrects it.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, Hank.
Conspiracy theorists see conspiracies everywhere. I don't.
I consider myself a Warren Commission critic.

I don't believe Sky Throne ever said there was no clip in the rifle.
He was asking why the clip was not visible in the ejection port.

The video showed that it was possible for the clip to be in the rifle and at the same time not be visible in the port.
I posted it for Sky Throne's benefit, so he wouldn't be taken down some never ending rabbit hole.
I didn't post it to put him down.

The Warren Commission found that Oswald alone killed JFK. If you disagree with that finding,
you have two other options. Some other lone assassin killed JFK or there was a conspiracy.
Which when do you believe?

All he can do, having admitted the six-decade CT clip argument is nonsense, is attack the messenger.

It’s either that, or start to re-examine some other six-decade old CT arguments and see if they are likewise nonsense… like whether Oswald’s weapon was as accurate as then-modern military weapons, and whether Oswald, who trained in the Marines shooting at targets 200 and 500 yards away, could make one of three shots fired a kill shot at 86 yards (the longest shot in the Commission’s scenario). Those are two issues he deflected to upon conceding the clip argument.

Never mind the argument that the evidence establishes Oswald did accomplish the shooting, so arguing he couldn’t because of his poor skills or an inadequate weapon is foolish. It’s akin to arguing that steel is heavier than water and sinks, so boats made of steel can’t float, and ignoring the evidence indicating they can.

The weapon fired bullets traveling at about 2200 feet per second, and they obeyed the same Newtonian laws as all other bullets, they travel in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. In this case, the two outside forces are air resistance and gravity. Air resistance slows the bullet and gravity pulls it toward the earth. What therefore absolutely prevented Oswald from using his rusty Marine skills, firing three shots, and making one kill shot? Nothing.

But CTs argue Oswald couldn’t do this, no way, no how, not with his war-surplus weapon and not with his rusty skill set. That’s another nonsense argument. We saw SkyThrone trot out those two arguments above once the clip argument recently re-introduced by Ben was demolished. And he apparently is going to attempt to ride those dead horses.

Either that, or call me more names. What recourse does he have?

Ben didn't post a "clip argument".
He posted that the Warren Commission lied when it published a citation that didn't exist.
And it did do that several times in its Report.

Your argument recently was the bullets were CIA ammo. You weren’t arguing for a conspiracy there?
If not, what exactly were you arguing for?

Of course not. CTs rarely lay out an argument and attempt to support it with evidence. They snipe around the edges, playing “just asking questions”. We are both adult enough to recognize that.
Sky Throne did exactly that here:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/4-nD2oIxfg8/m/RGLu7IqwAQAJ


> He was asking why the clip was not visible in the ejection port.

As a means to suggest it wasn’t in the weapon during the shooting, therefore Oswald couldn’t accomplish what the Commission said he did. We both know where that argument was heading, trodding the same well-worn path.


>
> The video showed that it was possible for the clip to be in the rifle and at the same time not be visible in the port.

Which was exactly my point, and what I was telling Sky Throne he needed to establish the converse of for his argument to go anywhere… he needed to show it would be visible. He never did.


> I posted it for Sky Throne's benefit, so he wouldn't be taken down some never ending rabbit hole.

A rabbit hole of CT’s creation… as Ben pointed out in his original thread…
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/4-nD2oIxfg8/m/T02VahYBAQAJ
…Sylvia Meagher was arguing for the supposed clip mystery six decades ago. It took that long to get ONE conspiracy theorist to concede the argument. How long do you think it will be for the other CTs to fall in line?


> I didn't post it to put him down.

Nobody suggested you did. But by bringing that up, you’re suggesting that was the end result.

Uh, no.

Ben said this:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/4-nD2oIxfg8/m/T02VahYBAQAJ
“There are many more problems with this alleged clip - but it would
take a separate post to detail. See Silvia Meagher's Accessories After
the Fact for one discussion of the problems of evidence for this clip.”

Do you want me to quote Meagher’s arguments about the clip so you understand exactly what Ben was arguing for?

He's stated here before that the Birchers in Dallas killed JFK, that they were allowed to do so by the militarists in Washington in order to prevent JFK from ending their Cold War policies. People like Earl Warren (!!?) and others knew ahead of time that this was going to happen. Some of them, like members of the Secret Service, changed their protection procedures to make it happen. He later stated that "the Russians got it right" in their *investigation* (using that word loosely) that concluded the CIA was behind the assassination. More recently he said anti-Castro Cubans were behind the murder.
So, after making three different claims about who was behind the assassination he says here that "I am not a conspiracy theorist."

And it falls out when the last cartridge is chambered, before it is fired. So, if it was working properly, then it should have fallen out by the window. But the gun is an old piece of crap, so maybe it stayed put...until Day carried it out of the building and then it peaked out a bit. That must be Hank's explanation, I imagine. Amazing such a shitty old gun in the hands of a mediocre marksman could accomplish what trained experts with the thing fixed up couldn't.

Indeed. And like the coward you are, you've not addressed this at

But let's get back to the original topic.

You still haven't, you know.

I think the clip probably is in the gun when Lt. Day handles it. https://postimg.cc/8Jdq7r3L Fortunately, Hank is such an obnoxious prick that I don't owe him any apology. But thanks to Gil and other photography I've been looking at, I'm fairly confident that the clip is in there.

You don't think Gil's a conspiracy theorist? I do.

There are two sides in this debate. The Lone Nutters and the Loons (to resurrect terminology from the early 1990s on Prodigy). The Loons are now called conspiracy theorists. Gil certainly appears to be on that side, as he is constantly posting about how Oswald could not have done it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said:
"You are just upset at Gil for exposing your nonsense, and now you’re taking it out on John. So we’re done with the clip nonsense and you won’t be asking about again? And Ben will concede that clip issue with a ‘mea colpa’ [culpa] and likewise never argue again that the clip wasn’t in the rifle? One silly conspiracy argument dead and buried. But let’s see how long it takes until a conspiracy theorist resurrects it."

You're denying it was dead and buried. The clip arguments never were legitimate and never made a lick of sense. 60 years later, they still don't.

False. I pointed out the photographs showing Day with the rifle, showing the clip. Photos that Meagher and other critics should have been aware of yet failed to mention in their arguments that there's no first-day evidence for the clip.

Never-ending nonsense.

I am glad however that you finally admitted there is a clip visible in the rifle that was photographed as J.C. Day walked the weapon found in the Depository back to the Crime Lab. But of course, like good acts everywhere, answers are never enough. Now Ben raises the meaningless issue of what's holding it in place, as if that is pertinent to resolving the issue of whether there is a conspiracy of not.

Elsewhere, CTs will and have complained about the condition of the rifle, stressing how it was a WWII weapon, how it was over two decades old, how it apparently needed to be well-oiled to function, how there was a rusty firing pin, how the scope was misaligned, and how there was supposedly rust in the barrel. But of course for a dedicated CT like Ben, none of that comes close to answering why the clip didn't fall out after the last shell was ejected as the mechanism was designed to work.

I guess Ben is forever doomed to curse the darkness and wallow in these mysteries he is unable to solve rather than light a single candle.

Light a candle, Ben.
