Moderated JFK conspiracy theories: it never ends III

There is no logical requirement on my part to propose a detailed alternative hypothesis to point out the manifest flaws in the official account.

When do you intend to start pointing out those flaws?

Nothing you've mentioned to date is a flaw in the official account.

It's a flaw in your knowledge of the evidence.

Ruth Paine is a Quaker and inveterate pacifist. Well at least she always claimed to be. Her behavior towards Oswald was never very charitable though.
If she was not reliably Quaker in her attitudes, then we cannot rely on her Quaker attitudes as evidence that she must have done something reliably Quaker.

Also, I once had a roommate who smoked a lot of marijuana. Our other roommate, whose name was on the lease and who was subletting to us, did not want marijuana in the apartment. Despite this prohibition, and despite the risk of being discovered and evicted, my roommate was able to bring marijuana into the apartment on more than one occasion, without being discovered. He had to exercise some caution, of course, but not as much as you might think. Reuniting with our "landlady" a few years later, I got from her the impression that she suspected shenanigans along those lines, but saw no point in causing a scene as long as the offending roommate made an effort to stay off her radar.

So naturally I don't consider your account of Paine's attitudes and policies even remotely meaningful to this discussion.
 
It's not answering questions that I think anyone is running from. Conceding a point, however...

I'm not that familiar with Solly's posting but I think a case could be made to start calling Jango "springheels" to celebrate his ability to escape threads when his latest contribution has crashed like the R-101.

That's a short clip of Dan Rather a few days after the Kennedy assassination.

Are there any inaccuracies with what he said that anyone can point out?

It's Rather's pov - whether he was correct or not is on him.

I'll throw out a simple, plausible explanation.

Rather described what he saw watching the Zapruder film.

He was/is a reporter, not an expert on GSW's or an experienced professional, and was stunned by the footage.

His recollection was filtered by his shock and grief.

Oliver Stone allegedly is an experienced combat vet and still asserts that the "back and to the left" motion of JFK's head is evidence for a shooter from the front, so there's available evidence that someone other than Rather observed the Z footage and filtered it through their pov for their own purposes.

I'm not sure how Stone, after seeing frame 313, could continue to think the fatal shot came from the front.
 
Jango, have you ever been to the book depository in Dallas? There are 12 year olds that could have made those shots. There really wasn't anything to it, other than being a psychopath.
 
Yes, Jango, you seem to be proposing a shot-from-the-front conspiracy theory, but you're doing a very bad job of laying it out coherently. Please give us your analysis of Rather's comments. Or failing that, get to some point.
