the inside story of the &lt;a href="http://judythvarybaker.blogspot.com/2011/11/still-powerful-today-bill-moyers-lbjs-1.html"&gt;assassination of President Kennedy&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.lee-harvey-oswald.com/"&gt;Lee Oswald&lt;/a&gt; reveals her heart and thoughts in this ever present saga. We explore &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLFNpc8IOgo"&gt;the plot to kill Castro&lt;/a&gt;, the weaponization of cancer into the assassin`s silver bullet, the role of &lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/39479479/The-Kennedy-Assassination-Lee-Harvey-Oswald-an-Updated-Modern-Biography-with-References"&gt;Lee Oswald&lt;/a&gt; as an asset of the Office of Naval Intelligence, the big pharma role in keeping us sick, what you can do to stay healthy. This is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. We simulcast with Judyth on Montreal`s CJAD. We compare corporate radio with our brand. We explore the use of the cancer weapon in the modern era and wonder if it was used to silence Canada`s other leadership hopeful &lt;a href="http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/07/25/layton-to-announce-health-issue-source/"&gt;Jack Layton&lt;/a&gt;.

line-height: 32px;"&gt;Well--they've done it again. Ignored &lt;a href="http://doctormarysmonkey.com/jvb/index.htm"&gt;new witnesses&lt;/a&gt; in the Kennedy assassination ---such as myself--while giving old-time CIA asset Max Holland yet another opportunity to declare Lee Oswald is now 'proven' to have killed Kennedy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uh...sure, Max. We believe you. After all, the CIA believes you!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px;"&gt;Yes, Max Holland continues to create pieces of rewritten history that mainstream media--most lately FOX NEWS --takes seriously. Why not? the CIA defends Holland. The CIA tells us they did not help kill Kennedy. The same CIA whose director, &lt;a href="http://prospect.org/article/cia-lie-congress-its-happened"&gt;Richard Helms, told Congress that the CIA will lie whenever necessary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;Max Holland has kindly provided this year's contribution to the government's annual November LIE that Lee Harvey Oswald killed President John F. Kennedy. &amp;nbsp;To do so, he had to invent a new whopper--that the Zapruder film did not film the 'first' shot --giving Lee Oswald an extra five seconds to shoot. How convenient. How unfortunate that the Secret Service had no reaction whatsoever to this so-called gunshot. Nor did the pigeons on the rooftop of the TSBD. &amp;nbsp;nor did anybody in the crowd. But the extra five seconds, never reported by anybody in the past at that point in the motorcade,gives Holland his chance to 'prove' Lee Oswald had time &amp;nbsp;to shoot--a problem that inconveniently kept coming up these past 48 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;Next,Holland wants us to know that 'someone' can be seen,with enhancement to the original flms taken that day, moving around on the 6th floor of the TSBD. &amp;nbsp;As if we didn't know this previously! &amp;nbsp;He declares it is Lee Oswald, never indicating that witnesses said TWO people had been seen on the 6th floor--not just one. But to mention a second person there would mean a conspiracy--so Max ignores the reports that two persons were present. &amp;nbsp;For example:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://elderlynegro.freehomepage.com/custom.html"&gt;http://elderlynegro.freehomepage.com/custom.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and note this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;Arnold and Barbara Rowland :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;From the street Arnold Rowland saw TWO men on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository minutes before the assassination.

He’s already shown&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.webcom.com/ctka/pr900-holland.html" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;his lack of journalistic integrity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the subject. In the current piece, he made the bald-faced lie that “In point of fact, 99.99 percent of the HSCA’s report improved upon or underscored the accuracy of the Warren Report’s key findings.” It did&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/report/html/HSCA_Report_0076a.htm" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;nothing of the sort&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;, as those of us in the research community who have actually READ the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/report/contents.htm" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;HSCA’s report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;know very well. Is there no fact checker at The Nation?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;When you rightly avoided publishing his article espousing the notion that the KGB caused Americans to suspect CIA involvement in the JFK case, he took it to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.odci.gov/csi/studies/fall_winter_2001/article02.html" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;the CIA, which published it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;happily, since it exculpated them of any involvement in the Kennedy assassination. But that’s not necessarily a new relationship. Holland got his early start with the Voice of America, a well-known outlet for the CIA’s propaganda during the Cold War.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;In fact, that was the pattern at the conference, which I also attended. While most leading researchers on the case believe elements of the CIA were directly involved, those who take the opposite view, like Holland, invariably end up having a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realhistoryarchives.com/collections/assassinations/jfk/cia-inst.htm" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;cozy relationship with the chief suspect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px;"&gt;It should embarrass you to learn that Holland omitted mention of the most interesting and heated exchange at the conference. Two speakers rose to debate the acoustic evidence on which the HSCA based its conclusion of “probable conspiracy.” The first,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fas.org/rlg/" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Richard Garwin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;, said the sound evidence was off by a second, and therefore proved nothing. The second,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://farshores.org/seckenn.htm" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Don Thomas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;, said that Garwin was using a different copy of the audio tape, proven by the number on the tape, and that the discrepancy was attributed to its being a copy. Thomas then showed how the sound evidence matched perfectly with all the extant video evidence. It was a stunning refutation of Garwin’s weak defense of the non-conspiracy view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;Would it surprise you to learn that Garwin was, as he admitted publicly when challenged, a CIA man? As a conference participant, I found that confession stunning. As a “journalist”, Max Holland didn’t even find that worthy of mention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realhistoryarchives.com/media/ciamedia.htm" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Is Max Holland a CIA asset&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;at The Nation? If he is, that’s a tragedy for the nation and The Nation. If he isn’t, he’s simply a guy who, for whatever private reason, is more comfortable repeating the assertions of others than uncovering the truth. And his “99.99%” statement shows he’s willing to lie to do so. So it hardly matters if he’s CIA or not. Whatever he is, he sure doesn’t belong at The Nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;We continue to learn every day how&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.downingstreetmemo.com/" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;official lies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;bring&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iraqbodycount.org/database/" style="color: #5588aa; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;heinous tragedy upon the innocent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; line-height: 32px; text-align: left;"&gt;.

padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;In 2007, the legendary true crime writer Vincent Bugliosi released&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style="line-height: 1em;"&gt;Reclaiming History&lt;/i&gt;, a Bible-sized book designed to answer all the questions regarding a possible conspiracy in the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Unfortunately, his “answers” provoked more questions. This short essay examines both the way Bugliosi dealt with one controversial matter, and the truth about this matter, as recently discovered by the author.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Although it is not mentioned in the text itself, on&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style="line-height: 1em;"&gt;Reclaiming History'&lt;/i&gt;s accompanying CD-ROM Bugliosi tackles a particularly troublesome question related to a pair of conflicting FBI reports. Intriguingly, these reports were written on the finding of a paper bag in the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD), the workplace of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. The Warren Commission had concluded that Oswald had made this bag from paper materials available in the shipping room of the building, (&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=73560" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:73560"&gt;Warren Report, p. 136&lt;/a&gt;) and had then used this bag to carry his rifle into the building. But the Commission had failed to uncover and reveal an important problem with the purported match between the paper used to create this bag, and the paper then in use in the building. Bugliosi compounds this mistake. On page 405 of his endnotes, Bugliosi discusses this problem and offers an explanation:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;In a 1980 article in Penn Jones Jr.’s conspiracy newsletter, Continuing Inquiry, critic Jack White claimed that the FBI had “sanitized” a document relating to the FBI’s examination of the paper and tape used to construct the bag found in the Depository, and hence, was part of the “cover-up” to hide the truth about the assassination. White reported that two nearly identically worded FBI documents, found by a researcher at the National Archives, offered two opposite conclusions regarding the source of the paper Oswald allegedly used to construct the bag. One version stated that paper samples obtained from the Depository shipping area on November 22 were found to have the same observable characteristics as the brown paper bag recovered from the sixth-floor sniper’s nest. A second version said that the paper samples were found “not to be identical” with the paper gun sack discovered at the scene of the shooting. (Jack White, “&lt;a href="http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/6/67/Pict_essay_speerproof_jackwhite.jpg" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;"&gt;The Case of Q-10 or the FBI Cover-Up Is in the Bag”&lt;/a&gt;, Continuing Inquiry, February 22, 1980, pp.1–2)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/6/65/Pict_essay_ProofFBI_PaperBag.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="line-height: 1em;"&gt;Paper bag being carried from TSBD.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Although White crowed that the documents “cast doubt on the credibility of the official story,” and his allegations have subsequently been used by a parade of critics in many conspiracy books, magazine articles, and Internet postings as “proof ” of the FBI’s willingness to alter evidence in the Kennedy case, the two documents are no doubt examples of a misunderstanding that was cleared up by the Warren Commission in early 1964. In a March 12, 1964, letter, Warren Commission general counsel J. Lee Rankin asked FBI Director J.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;Edgar&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hoover to settle the two ostensibly contradictory FBI reports. Rankin wrote, “We are in doubt. Please submit a report . . . as to the tests made and the conclusions drawn.” (FBI Record 124-10045-10081,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=745104" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:745104"&gt;Letter from J. Lee Rankin to J.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;Edgar&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Hoover, March 12, 1964, p.1&lt;/a&gt;; see also FBI Record 124-10022-10200) A week later, on March 19, Hoover responded that both reports were correct.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=341645" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:341645"&gt;The first report, dated January 7, 1964&lt;/a&gt;, referred to samples obtained from the Depository on December 1, 1963 (nine days after the assassination). By then, the shipping department had replaced its roll of wrapping paper with a fresh roll, since the fall period was its “heavy shipping season.” Consequently, the samples obtained by the FBI in December did not match the characteristics of the paper bag found on the day of the shooting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=337385" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:337385"&gt;The second report, dated January 13, 1964&lt;/a&gt;, related to samples taken from the Depository on November 22, the day of the assassination. These samples were found to be “similar in color to [the bag recovered from the sixth floor]” and were “similar in appearance under ultraviolet fluorescence, as well as in microscopic and all other observable physical characteristics.” However, Hoover noted that while the paper bag found on the sixth floor could have been made from the materials available at the Depository, the paper and tape did not contain any watermarks or other significant, unique, identifying features. Consequently, the paper bag could have been constructed from similar materials “obtained from many paper dealers, or from other users.” (FBI Record 124-10022-10199,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=146209" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:146209"&gt;Letter from J.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;Edgar&lt;/span&gt;Hoover to J.

The article to which Bugliosi refers is a February 22, 1980 essay on the probable changing of a document provided the Warren Commission as part of an 11-30-63 FBI report (&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=328890" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:328890"&gt;see Commission Document 5, p. 129&lt;/a&gt;, shown at right). What Bugliosi either fails to notice or fails to tell his readers, however, is the first thing he should have noticed: the date on the document. As displayed on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/6/67/Pict_essay_speerproof_jackwhite.jpg" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;"&gt;cover of the 1980 article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;dismissed by Bugliosi, and therefore presumably read by Bugliosi, both versions of the document were dictated on 11/29/63. This date is problematic. By Bugliosi's own account, the paper samples that did not match the characteristics of the paper bag were obtained on 12-1-63. So...how can a report refer to the results of a test that has not yet been performed, on an object that has not yet been procured? It can't. One might venture then that Bugliosi's "explanation" is little more than smoke, and that he really has no clue how to refute Jack White's article.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #e0e0d0; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: black; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: black; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: left; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/5/5e/Pict_essay_ProofFBI_11-30-63_alt.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="line-height: 1em;"&gt;Alternate 11/30/63 FBI report discovered in National Archives by&lt;br /&gt;Gary Shaw, stating that the TSBD-furnished paper was "found&lt;br /&gt;not to be identical with the paper gun case."'&lt;br /&gt;Reprinted in Henry Hurt's "Reasonable Doubt."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;But, if so, he's not the first to run from this issue. Although it's widely presumed the document saying the paper and bag were not identical was first discovered in 1980, it was actually found years earlier, and brought to the government's attention at a time when it could easily have been investigated. Courageously, the discoverer of this document, J. Gary Shaw,&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=326676" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:326676"&gt;discussed the document’s existence at a 9-17-77 conference sponsored by the House Select Committee on Assassinations&lt;/a&gt;, and suggested they interview FBI agent Vincent Drain, the author of the documents.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;While the HSCA, sadly, failed to heed Shaw's request, we can still take comfort that Shaw found some outside interest, and that a series of researchers were able to ask and answer many of the questions the HSCA ignored. In 1981, researcher Ed&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;Tatro&lt;/span&gt;, inspired by Jack White’s 1980 article on Shaw’s discovery, contacted the FBI seeking an explanation for the two conflicting documents. The Bureau's initial response explained nothing. In 1984, however,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;Tatro&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;asked again, and this time received what is as close to an “official” explanation as we are likely to receive. As recounted by&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;Tatro&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=520805" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:520805"&gt;article in the January 1985 issue of The Third Decade&lt;/a&gt;, the FBI’s Assistant Director of the Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, William Baker, offered that the document discovered by Shaw was found to be “inaccurate” upon review at FBI headquarters, and that “The Dallas office was instructed to make corrections at that time.” To the question of how Shaw was able to find an uncorrected copy in the files, Baker explained further that the FBI sent two copies of the 11-30-63 master report to the Warren Commission, one on 12-20-63 and one three days later, and that the first copy had the uncorrected copy of page 129 later discovered by Shaw. As Shaw confirmed to this writer that he found the document in the Warren Commission’s files, and not the FBI’s files, this actually makes sense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;But this explanation also raises some questions. In 1980, after the appearance of Jack White’s article in The Continuing Inquiry, journalist Earl Golz asked the supposed author of these reports, FBI agent Vincent Drain, about the two conflicting reports bearing his name. Now, if Drain’s words were consistent with Baker’s subsequent explanation, one might reasonably conclude that the “mystery” surrounding the conflicting documents had mostly been solved. As&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=520859" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:520859"&gt;reported by Jerry Rose in the March 1985 issue of The Third Decade&lt;/a&gt;, however, Drain’s answers were at odds with what Baker told&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;Tatro&lt;/span&gt;. While Drain, in order to align with Baker’s subsequent explanation, should have admitted something along the lines of “I screwed up, and was asked to rewrite my report” he instead “expressed shock at seeing” the documents and “said he was as ‘puzzled’ as Golz about them.” Even more problematic, in light of what Baker was to reveal, Drain “expressed certainty that the copy saying the materials tested were the same was the original document,” and speculated that the document discovered by Shaw, and subsequently acknowledged by the FBI’s Assistant Director to be the de facto original document, was a “fake.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;If Drain, who had no way of knowing what Baker was to tell&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;Tatro&lt;/span&gt;, was deliberately deceiving Golz, he was at least consistent. In 1984, author Henry Hurt asked Drain about the documents a second time, and gave him a second chance to admit he’d mistakenly written an “inaccurate” report, as later claimed by Baker. But Drain once again held firm. According to Hurt, Drain responded "I am certainly as perplexed as you are" and then claimed the report saying the paper bag and paper sample had the same observable characteristics was correct. (p. 98 of Reasonable Doubt, by Henry Hurt, Henry Holt and Co., 1985). (As a conclusion that the bag and sample were not identical would have cast doubt on the "official story" holding that Oswald created the bag at his work, Drain's proposal that the correct document was the one claiming the bag and sample matched was not exactly a surprise.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #e0e0d0; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: black; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: black; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=696337" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" target="ref"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/e/e9/Pict_essay_ProofFBI_12-18-63.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="line-height: 1em;"&gt;The smoking file: 12-18-63 airtel from Shanklin to HQ.&lt;br /&gt;Click image to view full document page.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Buried deep within the FBI’s files, however, there was a surprise. In the&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=520858" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:520858"&gt;first part of Rose’s article in the March 1985 issue of The Third Decade&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;he revealed that researcher Paul Hoch had uncovered a document demonstrating once and for all that Drain had indeed originally wrote that the paper sample and bag were "found not to be identical", and that this had later been changed upon orders from headquarters. This "smoking gun" document, so to speak, can be found in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=696337" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:696337"&gt;FBI File 105-82555, section 39, page 7&lt;/a&gt;. It is a 12-18-63 airtel from the Dallas Special-Agent-in-Charge, J. Gordon Shanklin back to FBI Headquarters, reporting that he is replacing page 129 of the FBI's 11-30-63 report with a different page, and is sending out additional copies of this page so that the page can be replaced in every copy of the report.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Should that document have not proved fatal to Drain’s story, however, two documents subsequently uncovered by Jerry Rose helped bury it completely. As revealed in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=520889" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:520889"&gt;May 1985 issue of The Third Decade&lt;/a&gt;, the first of these documents, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=689620" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:689620"&gt;12-6-63 airtel from FBI Director Hoover’s office to Dallas&lt;/a&gt;, makes note that Drain’s report on page 129 of the 11-30-63 Report contains an “inaccurate statement” and orders the Dallas Special-Agent-in-Charge Shanklin to “handle corrections.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;The second document, from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="extiw" href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=694480" style="color: #903434; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none !important;" title="mffabspageid:694480"&gt;12-11-63, is an airtel from Dallas back to Washington reporting Shanklin’s progress&lt;/a&gt;, and notes that the “necessary actions to correct inaccuracy” are “being taken.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;From these documents, then, one can only conclude that Drain, who’d only escorted the first day evidence from Dallas to Washington, and then flown it back, had either inaccurately represented the FBI Laboratory’s findings on an important piece of this evidence, or had accurately represented the Laboratory’s findings after a decision had been made not to do so. The former is suggested by reports and testimony claiming that the paper bag and sample had “the same observable characteristics.” The latter is suggested by the strange fact that Drain, for what would have to have been considered a monumental mistake, apparently received no reprimand, and that Hoover and Shanklin, in their correspondence on the “inaccurate statement” in Drain’s report, expressed no interest whatsoever on how he came to make such a statement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;While one could go on from here to discuss which version of Drain’s report was actually “accurate”, we’ll stop here instead and focus on the simple, unavoidable fact that the three documents just cited prove beyond any doubt that the FBI did, at least on occasion, change reports, even after they had been signed, dated, typed-up, and circulated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;For those studying U.S. history, this creates a problem. Historians, of all stripes and shapes, operate under the assumption the documents they are studying are written on the day they are dated, and are written by those signing the document. If Vincent Drain, when given the chance, had simply admitted he'd screwed up, and that his superiors had forced him to rewrite an inaccurate report, and that this was the only time this happened, perhaps we might still feel confident this holds true of FBI documents. Drain's initials, after all, appear on the revised document. But he did not. He either lied or forgot entirely about what would have to be considered a major mistake on his part.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;As a consequence, we are left to wonder...did the paper sample have the "same observable characteristics" as the bag, or were the paper sample and bag "found not to be identical"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;And, more importantly…what other archive documents have been re-written weeks or months after the fact, and re-inserted in the record as if they were the original documents?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 14px;

Her friend Lee Harvey Oswald had just had his 24th birthday the day before, and called Judy, as he did twice each week, to share what he was learning about the plot to kill President Kennedy. Judy knew Lee Oswald well. She had spent the summer of 1963 with him in New Orleans. Now, he was in Dallas, and she was in Florida. As her book documents in painstaking detail, she knew about the mercurial world of spies in which he worked; she knew about his time in Russia and his connection to the Mafia; she knew about his trip to Mexico City; she understood why he was becoming frightened of the real-world killers whose ring he had penetrated. Their code was hard. If Lee ran to protect himself now, he was afraid that they would retaliate by brutally killing his wife, his two young daughters, and possibly even his girlfriend to whom he was speaking on the phone. Their phone calls continued until Wednesday, November 20, 1963. Then, on November 24th, she watched the man she loved get murdered on live national television.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"&gt;ME &amp;amp; LEE: How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald is a 600-page non-fiction autobiography by Judyth Vary Baker, which recounts Judy’s summer with Lee, their cover jobs at Reily Coffee Company, the secret medical project they worked on together, and the secrets he shared with her about JFK’s impending assassination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"&gt;Oct. 18, 2011 would have been Lee Harvey Oswald’s 72nd birthday and Judy Vary Baker, a recluse who rarely makes public appearances, wants to mark the date by asking the world to reconsider Oswald’s role in history. Her take: Lee was an undercover agent who had penetrated a ring determined to murder President Kennedy and was actually trying to prevent it. Instead, they framed him for the crime, and then murdered him before he could defend himself in a court of law. Ms. Vary Baker asserts that Lee Oswald was trying to prevent JFK’s murder, not cause it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"&gt;Former Governor &lt;a href="http://theweek.com/article/index/214197/jesse-venturas-6-favorite-books-about-conspiracies"&gt;Jesse Ventura&lt;/a&gt; calls Judy’s book “stunning” and ranked it among his six favorite conspiracy reads, adding that “her book shows beyond any doubt that (Oswald) was clearly a government agent.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"&gt;Judy’s connection to Oswald was documented earlier in a 2007 book entitled &lt;a href="http://www.doctormarysmonkey.com/"&gt;Dr. Mary’s Monkey,&lt;/a&gt; authored by Edward Haslam. In 2010 Judy came forward with her own book validating that her association with Oswald was personal, professional, and romantic. Me &amp;amp; Lee is a memoir that blows the lid off the Lee Harvey Oswald debate, and even names some of the men responsible for Kennedy’s assassination. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics or the fates of star-crossed lovers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"&gt;Afraid for her own life after the&lt;a href="http://www.lee-harvey-oswald.com/"&gt; JFK assassination&lt;/a&gt;, Judy dropped out of sight and lived a quiet life until her children were grown. Today, she continues to live in an undisclosed location overseas, but will make a rare North American public appearance to mark her former lover’s birthday and to continue her efforts to clear his name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z0HhfYZd1ag/TnvLUtwkteI/AAAAAAAAAHg/plg6kcygsSA/s1600/lee+harvey+oswald+ussr+face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z0HhfYZd1ag/TnvLUtwkteI/AAAAAAAAAHg/plg6kcygsSA/s1600/lee+harvey+oswald+ussr+face.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lee Harvey Oswald was framed.

This is either an accident of the stenographer or a deliberate misrepresentation. The word “not” has been added to make the information correct, below, as indicated by &lt;b&gt;[not]&lt;/b&gt; ].&lt;snip&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. In your opinion, would the blanket have made a secure package wrapped in the way and manner that it appeared to you?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes, sir; it would have. With the crease at fold "A," had it been folded down, it would have made a very snug and secure package containing some type of item in it.&lt;snip&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Any distinctive accidental markings on it?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. No; I found none.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/snip&gt;&lt;/snip&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif;"&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. No; I found none.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;What kind--was it tied in a knot?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Yes, sir; it was tied in a granny knot, and also a bow knot&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Could you illustrate that for us? You are holding up a piece of string?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. This is another piece of string, not the original.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Not the original.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;A granny knot is a common knot, tied with two simple thumb knots.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It is [&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;not ]&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; a very hard knot to open as opposed to the boy scout knot, or the square knot rather, which is tied in this manner. This knot is very easy to open because all one has to do is to pull one free end of it and the other free end slides out.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. You are referring to the so-called "boy scout" knot?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. It is actually not a boy scout knot but a square knot.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. And you tie that left over right, right over left, is that the formula&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;?&amp;nbsp;[E. refers to square, not granny knot]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes; left over right and right over left.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. How do you spell that, by the way?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. G-r-a-n-n-y.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;The granny knot, Mr. Stombaugh, is this a common or an uncommon knot?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;It is a very common knot. I believe that knot is tied more than any other knot because it is right over right, right over right, and it is usually used by people wrapping packages who want it tied securely so the package will not come open.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Did you say there was also a bow knot?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes, sir.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Could you illustrate that?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;This is the type of knot we use when we tie our shoe strings. It is made by forming a loop with the one free end, and wrapping the other free end around it and pulling it through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Mr. EISENBERG&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;. Is that a hard or an easy knot to slip out, Mr. Stombaugh?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;This is very easy, because you just take one of the loose ends and pull it and the knot falls apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. What was the relationship between the granny knot and the bow knot?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. I don't know. I have seen this numerous times, on numerous different occasions when one would either tie a granny knot or a square knot and follow it up with a bow knot. The granny knot would be to secure the package so it would not come loose. The bow knot is a temporary knot tied by one who wants the string to come off easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Now why they would tie a granny knot and follow this up with a bow knot I don't know, unless they had some long loose ends which they wanted to slacken up, shorten up, rather, so as they would not be hanging down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif;"&gt; Mr. EISENBERG. The Exhibit Paine No. 2 is tied into a knot at this point. Can you tell us what kind of a knot that is?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif;"&gt;59&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr align="center" size="3" width="100%" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STOMBAUGH. This was a simple bow knot which I put into it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 115%;"&gt;In the above statements, we clearly see that the ends of the string were still long, so whoever tied the ends then made a bowknot to bring the ends shorter. Mothers who tie their children’s shoelaces do this, of course, so the child will not trip. Ruth Paine had a young son who wore laced shoes.

I had training of my own in tying knots after years in Girl Scouts.&amp;nbsp; The knots Lee tied were reef knots.&amp;nbsp; So, when I came across the testimony (above) while researching the blog that eventually became a paper about the blanket, that &amp;nbsp;“granny knot” information took a few days to sink in.

Kennedy, was questioned by police the same day Kennedy died, and she said her husband had kept a rifle in a blanket, a rifle that went missing that fateful day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 45.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;She was shown a rifle. She said it looked like it belonged to her husband.&amp;nbsp; She indicated that she had seen it two weeks earlier in a garage, a garage attached to the house where she and her baby (Rachel) and toddler (June Lee) were living as the guests of Ruth Paine, the estranged wife of Michael Paine. She implied that the rifle wrapped in the blanket was among the belongings Oswald personally packed into the Paine station wagon that took Marina and their two babies from New Orleans to Irving, a suburban area near Dallas, two months earlier.&amp;nbsp; But when we look at the BLANKET and how it relates to the RIFLE, serious problems with Marina’s testimony emerge, pointing to the framing of Lee Harvey Oswald.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

Lee was not allowed to visit her due to hospital regulations.&amp;nbsp; Thus, on Feb. 21, 1962, he wrote to his wife in the hospital. “Dear Marina,” he wrote, “Today we received a very nice present for June from the factory: I know you will like it.&amp;nbsp; They bought:&amp;nbsp; one summer blanket, 6 light diapers, 4 warm diapers…” Another blanket is mentioned in a subsequent letter to Marina, suggesting that a winter-weight blanket would also be nice, and that perhaps her relatives would respond to that need.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;

That being the case, we should consider the orientation of the Secret Service towards their star witness, Russian-speaking/Russian-born Marina, since Secret Service agents were in charge of her sequestering and, later, her surveillance, for months. The Secret Service had been &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;responsible for Kennedy’s safety in Dallas and had miserably failed that calling.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;We must ask: &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Can we trust the actions of the Secret Service, knowing that on their watch, Kennedy was assassinated? Wouldn’t they wish to avoid as much blame as possible? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Some agents have been willing to shift all focus to Oswald, away from any scrutiny that might suggest dereliction of duty, at Oswald’s expense. For example, Secret Service agent Bill Carter was one of the agents involved with Marina Oswald soon after the assassination and through the time of her testimony to the Warren Commission.&amp;nbsp; His website describes his Secret Service career and his role regarding Marina:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0f0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;“In 1962, Carter entered the U.S. Secret Service and worked as a special agent during the Kennedy administration…he…accompanied the slain President's body to the Capitol, the funeral and Arlington Cemetery. On Thanksgiving day 1963, he was assigned to Dallas as part of the team of federal agents investigating the assassination, even accompanying Lee Oswald's family to testify before the Warren Commission.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

–in order to shift the focus on Oswald.&amp;nbsp; He displays a famous photograph showing Secret Service agents standing in the follow-up car behind Kennedy’s death car at Dealey Plaza just as it passes in front of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD).&amp;nbsp;

Respected scholar, poet and researcher Peter Dale Scott, while excoriating Gerald Posner for his egregious errors in the book &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Case Closed&lt;/i&gt;, tells us all we need to know about Marina Oswald’s reliability as a witness on crucial matters:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“…Posner (writes P.

I saw that he took a pistol. I asked him where he was going, and why he was getting dressed. He answered, 'Nixon is coming...' " She did not know who Nixon was, but was determined that Lee should not leave the house with the pistol. She asked him to join her in the bathroom, and when he entered she jumped out and slammed the door shut. Bracing her feet against the nearby wall, she struggled as hard as she could to keep the door closed against his efforts to push out. "I remember that I held him," she said. "We actually struggled for several minutes and then he quieted down... At first he was furious, but as he calmed, Oswald agreed to strip to his underwear, and stayed home reading the remainder of the day.” (18)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;We can only repeat here a few of the problems with this story, which at the time engendered a number of supporting statements to the FBI that were later hastily recanted:According to one version of this latest story from Marina, Oswald had &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;"intended to shoot Nixon"&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt; in Dallas; and she &lt;/i&gt;"had locked Lee Harvey Oswald in the bathroom the entire day... to prevent him from doing so"&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;... Faced with the fact that the Oswald bathroom, like all others, locked from the inside, Marina then told the FBI... that in April 1963 &lt;/i&gt;"she forcibly held the bathroom door shut by holding on to the knob and bracing her feet against the wall"...&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt; Finally she would tell the Warren Commission... that she and her much stronger husband &lt;/i&gt;"struggled for several minutes"&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt; inside the bathroom...

As a former Secret Service Agent and the first African American to be appointed to the White House Detail, I was dismayed at the continued attempts by former agents to deny culpability in the assassination of President John F.

The attack upon my credibility in the book, “The Kennedy Detail” was expected; but I was hoping that the former Kennedy body guards would show a modicum of contriteness in the book instead of trying to blame Kennedy’s assassination on the President himself. Unlike the general reading public, I was an agent during the critical period on November 22, 1963. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In my book, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;The Echo from Dealey Plaza&lt;/i&gt;, I relate to the public what I saw while serving on the white house detail and the disrespect and hatred towards the President that I heard expressed by some of my fellow agents.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Blaine and other agents can feed the public with the “cya” account of the secret service actions during the Kennedy area but I was there and was a witness to the incompetence, laxity of certain agents surrounding the president, the drinking and cavalier attitude among many of the agents on the detail, the references to President Kennedy as being a Ni—r lover and their disdain for his stand for racial justice and equal opportunity for All Americans. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;I was present among a few agents who were discussing the protection of President Kennedy in which the statement was made that if an attempt were made on the life of the President, they would take no action.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;…As far as agents being forbidden to ride on the special running boards of the presidential vehicle, that rumor was not circulated until “after” the assassination of the president.

during Marina Oswald’s interviews from the minute the Police turned up in Irving until her last appearance in front of the Warren Commission.&amp;nbsp; On November 22nd, 1963, the Dallas Police arrived at 2515 West Fifth Street in Irving, the residence of Ruth Hyde Paine. They were accompanied by members of Irving County Law Enforcement who legally had jurisdiction over the search of the property…Mrs. Paine greeted them by stating, “Come on in, we’ve been expecting you. Just as soon as we heard what happened we knew you would be out.” About an hour later Ruth Paine’s estranged husband, Michael Paine, turned up at the property. “Just as soon as I heard what building the shots were fired from I knew you would be out. So I came on over to see if I could help in any way,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…Marina spoke no English so Ruth Paine interpreted for them... She translated the questions from English into Russian and translated the answers from Russian into English. Gus Rose, one of the lead investigators at the Irving property later said in his testimony before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, “I had to assume what Paine told me was true because I couldn’t understand the Russian language.” Paine then, interpreting for Marina, took Rose to the garage and pointed to a blanket as being the place where Oswald apparently kept the rifle. As we all know, the blanket was empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose also said in his HSCA testimony that when he picked up the empty blanket, “Ruth Paine [then] said something to Marina and Marina had a real shocked look on her face.” &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;The truth of the matter is this; we do not know whether the translating was done accurately by Ruth Paine. We do not know whether the questions posed by Gus Rose were identical to the questions posed by Paine. We do not know whether the answers given by Marina were the answers translated back verbatim by Paine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;We do not know why Marina had a “real shocked” look on her face when Ruth Paine said what she said after Rose picked up the empty blanket&lt;/b&gt;. What we do know is that when Marina was taken to the station to complete her first affidavit…in the affidavit, Marina states, in black and white, that when Officers were at the Paine residence she told them that her husband, “…used to have a rifle to hunt with in Russia.” This is not what was translated for Gus Rose by Ruth Paine…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;What credence can we then place upon the accurate translation of Marina Oswald’s words by Ruth Paine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;The simple answer is none&lt;/b&gt;. We don’t know what was said during the search of that house. There could be many reasons why Marina was “shocked” when Ruth Paine began translating after the rifle blanket was found, especially if Marina’s English was much better than we have been led to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In actual fact, what credence can we place upon the translating being accurate when she was first taken into police custody? When Marina was taken to the station her words were interpreted by a Dallas resident by the name of &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Ilya Aleksandrovich Mamantov.&lt;/b&gt; Mamantov was a member of the White Russian community. This is the group of Russian emigres that had been so accommodating to Marina Oswald when she first arrived in the United States…&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[11]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did Mamantov become the translator for Marina immediately after the assassination?&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt; Mamantov got the job on the advice of a Mr. Jack Alston Crichton who was an independent oil operator in Dallas. Crichton suggested Mamantov for the job to the Dallas Police even though he had not done any official translating for any company prior to the assassination. What is really interesting about Jack Crichton is that he was a Colonel in the Army Reserve, and was also headed a local Army Intelligence Unit in Dallas.&lt;/b&gt; It was on Crichton’s advice, as per the Forrest Sorrels memo (see Appendix),&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[12]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that Mamantov was hired. For this to happen so quickly suggests that Police Intelligence was linking with Army Intelligence immediately after the assassination.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Farley goes on to say: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;So, if the White Russian community had something to hide, post-assassination, what better way to leverage pressure upon Marina than to have one of them in the room with her when she was being questioned about matters relating to her relationship with Oswald and matters pertaining to his activities in the lead-in to the assassination? Remember, Mamantov would not be the only person who had ties to Lee and Marina Oswald who would end up being in such close proximity to her whilst in protective custody. Peter Paul Gregory also makes an appearance.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Farley then brings up a startling bit of information that was “lost in translation”:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that jumps out of Marina’s first day affidavit is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Today at the Police Station they showed me a rifle. This was like the rifle my husband had. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;It was a dark gun.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a “dark gun.” Why is this important? It seems insignificant but if one goes to the Secret Service interviews that they conducted with Marina at the Six Flags Inn in Dallas you will find this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Q. Did Lee purchase any type of gun whilst living in the United States?&lt;br /&gt;A. She says that she knew there was a rifle in the house. She says that she saw the gun in the house in New Orleans and in Dallas.&lt;br /&gt;Q. This gun, was it the rifle or a pistol or just what type of gun? Can she answer that?&lt;br /&gt;A. It was a gun.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Gregory asked: Can you describe it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;NOTE: Subject said: I cannot describe it because a rifle to me like all rifles&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Gregory translation: She said she cannot describe it. It was sort of a &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;dark rifle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt; just like any other common rifle&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Gregory added the word “dark”.&amp;nbsp; Below, you can view two photos of Carcano Italian rifles. The one on the left is described “like oswald’s” but it is ‘light.’ The photo at right is of the “killer rifle”—and it is ‘dark.’&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zWURpFRNrQE/TelaVPCdxzI/AAAAAAAAAFg/JQ5rPBzymiQ/s1600/light+colored+carcano+rifle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zWURpFRNrQE/TelaVPCdxzI/AAAAAAAAAFg/JQ5rPBzymiQ/s1600/light+colored+carcano+rifle.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;a 'light colored' Carcano&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;v:shape alt="Description: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSKpUJdbgQEWVXux2xNyYXJnswaqWxdKthlwpn3bNSOsl55Noy4ng" id="Picture_x0020_23" o:spid="_x0000_i1056" style="height: 100.2pt; mso-wrap-style: square; visibility: visible; width: 181.2pt;" type="#_x0000_t75"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata o:title="ANd9GcSKpUJdbgQEWVXux2xNyYXJnswaqWxdKthlwpn3bNSOsl55Noy4ng" src="file:///C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image011.jpg"&gt; &lt;/v:imagedata&gt;&lt;/v:shape&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;v:shape alt="Description: http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/0/03/Photo_naraevid_CE139-1.jpg" id="Picture_x0020_21" o:spid="_x0000_i1055" style="height: 172.2pt; mso-wrap-style: square; visibility: visible; width: 3in;" type="#_x0000_t75"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata o:title="Photo_naraevid_CE139-1" src="file:///C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image012.jpg"&gt; &lt;/v:imagedata&gt;&lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Farley has more to say about this damning addition to Marina’s actual words:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PtSf-iayKis/TelagpUrHJI/AAAAAAAAAFk/MXFujCUiaJk/s1600/dark+carcano+oswald.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="254" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PtSf-iayKis/TelagpUrHJI/AAAAAAAAAFk/MXFujCUiaJk/s320/dark+carcano+oswald.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;the 'dark rifle' 'found' in the TSBD&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;As you can see&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;, Mr. Peter Paul Gregory, who had links to Oswald when Oswald arrived back in Dallas after his departure from the Soviet Union, makes an appearance as Marina’s translator during this interview and the person who transcribed the tape of the interview actually writes that Gregory mistranslates Marina’s words. Not just any old words, but the words, “&lt;u&gt;Dark rifle.”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; These are the same words that are in Marina’s original first day affidavit that was interpreted by Ilya Mamantov, who was pushed into the case by a member of Army Intelligence from Dallas.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;He offers additional evidence of mistranslation concerning the rifle:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;“When the Warren Commission’s Southern contingent got access to Marina away from the likes of Dulles and Ford they, led by Richard Russell, started to turn the thumb screws on Marina concerning her relationship with Oswald, her incredible departure from the Soviet Union, Oswald’s Mexico City trip and the ownership of the rifle and pistol. Unfortunately, they had the White Russian, Peter Paul Gregory, working as a translator again alongside Leon Gopadze from the U.S. Secret Service Office. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Similar to the mistranslation that Gregory made in the Six Flags interview concerning the “dark rifle” &lt;u&gt;he also conveniently mistranslates on the same issue&lt;/u&gt; during Marina’s Dallas WC testimony (the single asterisk next to Marina’s name denotes that it was Gregory who translated the answer):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Senator RUSSELL. Did you not testify that you thought this was Lee’s rifle that was shown you as the one that shot Connally and the President?*&lt;br /&gt;*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes ; I testified that that was the rifle.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. GOPADZE. No - I’m sorry. As far as she knows about the arms, the rifle which was shown to her &lt;u&gt;looked like&lt;/u&gt; the one he had.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. GREGORY. Yes ; that’s right.&lt;br /&gt;Senator RUSSELL.

They pick and choose what they need in supporting their own pet theories. They then ignore the things that are inconvenient to their beliefs. One such researcher places great emphasis on the Six Flags Secret Service interviews but fails to tell his readers that it was Peter Paul Gregory that did the interpreting and that he was found out on many occasions of, what I believe, are purposeful mistranslations. He did this not only in the Secret Service interviews but also in Marina’s Warren Commission testimony numerous times. We then add this to Ilya Mamatov’s suspected CIA background, his relationship with members of Army Intelligence and his vociferous attempts to smear the Soviet Union and implicate them in the assassination and the whole situation takes on a very suspect nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that the White Russian community had Marina surrounded post assassination and their obvious ties to U.S. Intelligence, especially the CIA, and we begin to understand the phrase from Peter Paul Gregory during one of Marina’s Six Flag’s interrogations a whole lot more, when in the SS report of the interview this appears: &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;“…she was told for her own sake and her children’s sake to tell the truth during all of this investigation which would help her in the long run, and particularly with her desire to remain in the United States.”&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn16;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;The White Russians had surrounded Marina as soon as she arrived on U.S. soil, and they were still there when she was in protective custody as well as when she was under oath.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;More About the Blanket Used to Frame Oswald&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;We are asked to believe a lot of what amounts to speculation regarding the blanket and the rifle.&amp;nbsp; We are supposed to believe that Marina Oswald allowed some unusual things to occur in concerning her baby’s blanket. The first unusual thing was that Marina apparently did not know who removed the blanket and its contents from Ruth Paine’s station wagon. The second unusual thing is that after discovering that the blanket held a rifle, she did not try to move the blanket out of sight (for numerous reasons, she should have). The third unusual thing is that she never spoke to Oswald about the rifle—since Ruth Paine was a Quaker who was supposedly against firearms and violence, Marina should have asked Oswald to move the rifle elsewhere. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Recall that the blanket was clean (no smudges, no wood shavings from the cement floor, etc.).

The presence of Lee Oswald’s hair on the blanket – plus other hairs—simply meant that any loose hairs in a washing machine or from non-rayon clothing in the machine could be attracted to the blanket.&amp;nbsp; They would continue to cling to the blanket if it happened to be line-dried instead of dried in a machine (where hairs could be filtered off the blanket’s surface).&amp;nbsp; So the presence of Lee Oswald’s hairs—of any kind—on the blanket simply meant it could have attracted those hairs from other clothing due to the charge that nylon exerts on hair. If Marina had not identified the blanket as holding the rifle, it could not have qualified as since other hairs not belonging to Oswald were also on the blanket.&amp;nbsp; When was the blanket last washed? It could have been washed as late as the night before, since ‘folding laundry’ is mentioned.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UnOw9fxH8as/TeldoEXv1UI/AAAAAAAAAF0/o-d6LCnxf2s/s1600/marina+with+june+paine+kitchen+nov+1963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UnOw9fxH8as/TeldoEXv1UI/AAAAAAAAAF0/o-d6LCnxf2s/s400/marina+with+june+paine+kitchen+nov+1963.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;v:shape alt="Description: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6kYzhJGqq2M/TIqd14W-CWI/AAAAAAAAFS4/fyMDuQFyC-g/s1600/Marina+Oswald-4.jpg" id="Picture_x0020_31" o:spid="_x0000_i1052" style="height: 231.6pt; mso-wrap-style: square; visibility: visible; width: 316.8pt;" type="#_x0000_t75"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata o:title="Marina+Oswald-4" src="file:///C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image015.jpg"&gt; &lt;/v:imagedata&gt;&lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;We are asked to assume that June, an active toddler, would ‘never’ see the blanket in the Paine garage, a garage attached to a small, crowded, busy house and easily accessible, since egress to the back yard was from the dining area, also connected to the garage, where June’s blanket was lying in full view on the garage floor.

a “possible” connection between the rifle and the bag that supposedly held the rifle when it was supposedly transported from the Paine residence via car and then carried by Oswald, into the TSBD, though not a single person observed that action (Frazier only saw Oswald headed that direction with a package he stubbornly described as too small to contain the rifle). Regarding the scratches in the bag, the Oswald-did-it mind-set of Warren Commission apologist John McAdams means he must insist that the bag held the rifle, and thus he presents this (edited) portion of an expert’s testimony: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;(emphasis added)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Mr. CADIGAN.

Oswald would have had to have arms the length of a gorilla’s to have carried the 40” rifle in that manner.&amp;nbsp; The Warren Commission unilaterally decided that both Wesley Frazier and his sister, who also saw Oswald carrying a package they said was wrapped in lightweight paper, as being mistaken as to its length.

Yes, sir.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL Did you draw the diagram?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. I drew a diagram in there for the FBI, somebody from the FBI called me down--I can't think of his name, and he wanted an approximate location of where the paper was found.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Does that show the approximate location?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Where you have the dotted lines?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Now, there is something that looks like steam pipes or water pipes in the corner there?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Where was that with reference to those pipes--the paper wrapping?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. Laying right beside it--right here.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Was it folded over?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. It was doubled--it was a piece of paper about this long and it was doubled over.

How long was it, approximately?&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Did you take a picture of it before you picked it up?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER. No.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. BALL. Does that sack show in any of the pictures you took?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. STUDEBAKER.

( CE 142 ). Not wanting to show the discolored bag to the witnesses, the Bureau obtained paper from the Texas School Book Depository shipping department and fashioned a replica bag ( CE 364 ) on December 1, 1963. In order to determine if the bags were made with identical tape and paper, the FBI compared the paper in the replica sack with the original.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Do you want me to discuss this replica sack yet?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. You mentioned a replica bag?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Could you explain what that is?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes; this is Commission Exhibit 364. It is a paper sack similar to Commission Exhibit 142. It was made at the Texas School Book Depository on December 1, 1963, by special agents of the FBI in Dallas to show to prospective witnesses, because Commission's Exhibit 142 was dark and stained from the latent fingerprint treatment and they thought that this would--it wouldn't be fair to the witness to ask "Did you see a bag like that?" So they went to the Texas School Book Depository and constructed from paper and tape a similar bag.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. This was made December 1?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. December 1, of 1963.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Or some 9 or 10 days after the assassination?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Was the paper obtained from the same source?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes; from the same room.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. The same room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Did you examine this paper&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;to see how it compared---that is,&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;the paper in the replica bag&lt;/b&gt;, which has already been admitted as Commission Exhibit 364---&lt;b&gt;to see how it compared with the paper in the bag found on the sixth floor of the TSBD&lt;/b&gt;, which is Commission's Exhibit 142?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. What was your conclusion?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. That&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;they were different in color, visual color, felting--that is, the pattern that you see through transmitted light, and they were different under ultraviolet light.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG So that these two papers, which were obtained within 9 or 10 days from the same source, could be distinguished by you?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes. (&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh4/html/WC_Vol4_0051a.htm"&gt;4 H 93-94&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;In other words.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;the paper comprising the "gunsack" allegedly found on the sixth floor didn't match the paper in the replica bag taken from the TSBD 10 days later&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;. Cadigan then set up a UV machine in order to demonstrate the differences to Allen Dulles. Looking under the UV light at the&amp;nbsp;sample of tape and paper obtained on November 22 and comparing it&amp;nbsp;to the tape and paper of the "gunsack", Dulles notes that:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. The observation I would make there is that the color of the tape on Exhibit 142, the sack, and the color of the paper of the sack 142, under UV, is the same as the color of the tape on 677 and the color of the paper.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. DULLES. I agree on that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Next they compare the ""gunsack" and the replica bag obtained 10 days after the assassination. Dulles comments:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Mr. DULLES. Yes. I find there that the sample obtained 10 days later, and the sack which is on the left, that the sample obtained 10 days later shows a lighter shade of purple than the sack, and that the tape shows a darker shade of, I would call it, almost gray as against almost white for the tape which is on the sack. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh4/html/WC_Vol4_0054a.htm"&gt;4 H 99-100&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;So not only was the paper different, but the tape was likewise different. The FBI now had evidence that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;both the rolls of paper and the rolls of tape differed from roll to roll.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HgJrqA9K9r8/TelqTdSBJ_I/AAAAAAAAAGw/BK03dVMHa-k/s1600/129+rewritten+to+match+165+print+bag.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HgJrqA9K9r8/TelqTdSBJ_I/AAAAAAAAAGw/BK03dVMHa-k/s640/129+rewritten+to+match+165+print+bag.gif" width="464" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g25bIEqdi3w/Telq5DuK6UI/AAAAAAAAAG0/nNhOor3A11c/s1600/brown+paper+bag+shaped+like+a+gun+lie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g25bIEqdi3w/Telq5DuK6UI/AAAAAAAAAG0/nNhOor3A11c/s640/brown+paper+bag+shaped+like+a+gun+lie.jpg" width="396" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Note "brown paper bag shaped like a gun" fabrication&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;Could the paper have been changed ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Cadigan was asked if he knew if the rolls had been changed between November 22 and December 1, 1963.

Do you happen to know whether another roll was put in the machine between the 22d and the 1st of December?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. May we go off the record?&lt;br /&gt;(Discussion off the record.) (&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh4/html/WC_Vol4_0052a.htm"&gt;4 H 95&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Now let's see what happens when they go back on the record:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. Yes; they were unable to determine whether the paper from the replica sack, Exhibit 364, came from the same roll or a different roll as the known sample obtained November 22, Commission Exhibit 677. I understand that in the fall, the Depository is busy, and could very well have changed rolls, but no records are kept along that line.

The tape was originally manufactured by Rexford Paper Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Weaver Tape was a supplier, not a manufacturer. (&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=11293&amp;amp;relPageId=192"&gt;CD 897, pg. 163&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Typically, cartons of 3" 60 lb. tape come in lengths of 600 ft. and ten rolls to a carton.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;That's 500 rolls of tape for 58 rolls of paper. The FBI found that a roll of wrapping paper lasted only 3 days in the TSBD shipping room. And yet, if one uses simple math to determine how much tape they used per roll, we find that they used 8.6 rolls of tape per roll of paper. ( Dividing 500 by 58 )&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;the paper "gunsack" had been constructed in a 3 hour period that included the taking of the sample&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;

Mr. Cadigan, did you notice when you looked at the bag whether there were---that is the bag found on the sixth floor, Exhibit 142--whether it had any bulges or unusual creases?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. I was also requested at that time to examine the bag to determine if there were any significant markings or scratches or abrasions or anything by which it could be associated with the rifle, Commission Exhibit 139, that is, could I find any markings that I could tie to that rifle.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Yes?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. And&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;I couldn't find any such markings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. EISENBERG. Now, was there an absence of markings which would be inconsistent with the rifle having been carried in the bag?&lt;br /&gt;Mr. CADIGAN. No; I don't see actually, I don't know the condition of the rifle. If it were in fact contained in this bag, it could have been wrapped in cloth or just the metal parts wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, or if the gun was in the bag, perhaps it wasn't moved too much. I did observe some scratch marks and abrasions but was unable to associate them with this gun. The scratch marks in the paper could come from any place. They could have come from many places.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;There were no marks on this bag that I could say were caused by&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;that rifle or any other rifle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;or any other given instrument.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh6/html/WC_Vol6_0186a.htm"&gt;4 H 97&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Cadigan's conclusions were simple.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;There was no evidence that the "gunsack" ever contained the depository rifle or any other rifle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;Well-oiled ?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Gil Jesus goes on to tell us something about the rifle in its well-oiled condition that Warren Commission defender John McAdams apparently ignores or does not know. McAdams claims only a small area of the rifle was actually (lightly) oiled and therefore was unlikely to leave any marks in the bag or on the blanket and that it also could not be determined whether the rifle had been oiled at any time. He also implies that “well-oiled” involves only a thin film of oil on &lt;b&gt;inner parts of the rifle. He tells readers that&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 76.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;“…it seems that conspiracists have been conveniently ignoring a key piece of context. Hoover in fact states that "the firing pin and spring of this weapon are well-oiled Later, when he mentions the present well-oiled condition of the rifle, he is referring back to the firing pin and spring. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;He goes on the state that it could not be determined whether the rifle&amp;nbsp;had been oiled&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn21;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[21]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at any time&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 76.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Since the firing pin and spring are internal components, there is no reason to expect that any oil would get on a blanket or bag used to carry the rifle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 76.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;But just how much oil is necessary for these parts to be “well-oiled”? Some insight into what the military considers “well-oiled” can be found in&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Operator's Manual for the M16 and M4&lt;/i&gt;. It instructs the reader to "lightly lubricate the firing pin" (0016 00-6). Lightly lubricate is defined as "a film of lubricant barely visible to the eye" (0016 00-3). Because the firing pin and spring are internal components, when they are lightly lubed, they do not drip oil. There is no reason to believe that the rifle&amp;nbsp;would have left oil residue on either the blanket or the bag.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 76.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Operator's Manual&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;instructs the reader to "lightly lube inside of upper receiver, bore and chamber, outer surfaces of barrel and front sight, and surfaces under handguard" (0016 00-4). One can reasonably assume that Oswald would have been trained in the military in such a manner and so if he did regularly oil his rifle, it also would not be dripping oil. The light cover of oil would be absorbed into the rifle.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 76.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;The conspiracy claim that the bag or blanket should have had oil residue is another firearms factoid. One can perhaps understand that conspiracists, who mostly aren't gun buffs, would jump to conclusions about how firearms are maintained. But how does one excuse their concealing the fact that only the firing pin and spring were “well-oiled”? &lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn22;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[22]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;McAdams labels the idea that the rifle would leave oil marks a “firearms factoid.” Is he correct?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000040; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Here’s what Gil Jesus tells us:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Also significant is that Cadigan doesn't mention finding any oil or grease marks on the inside of the bag. One might expect to find some trace of lubricant transferred to the absorbent paper. It's hard to imagine that a disassembled rifle ( which the depository rifle had to be in order to fit into a 38-inch "gunsack" ) that was lubricated to prevent corrosion would not leave traces of that lubricant on paper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Riva modified Carcanos were immersed in the lubricant (Cosmoline) before being transported across the Atlantic Ocean in order to prevent corrosion.&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn23;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[23]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;"Trucked to Genoa,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;bathed and coated in Cosmoline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;, it (C2766) had been insulated from any sea air that might seep into the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Elettra Fassio's&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;hold."

We also have problems with the testimony of Martina Oswald. Because Marina sometimes did not tell the truth, and because translators, including Ruth Paine, might have put words in her mouth with which she dared not disagree, it is possible that (1) the blanket never did hold a rifle (2) had been placed on the cement floor recently, (3) had been emptied once, or possibly had always been empty.&amp;nbsp; In support of such ideas, it is a fact that after November 23, Marina Oswald never directly spoke to Ruth Paine again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="BalloonTextChar"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; In “T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="bbccenter"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;he Testimony of Marina Oswald&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; &lt;span class="bbccenter"&gt;Before the Orleans Parish Grand Jury,”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;PROBE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Magazine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn26;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[26]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Steve Jones writes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1c2837; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Marina's testimony gives further corroboration to the belief held by serious assassination researchers that Ruth Paine was indeed affiliated with the CIA.

She suddenly knew of one or two instances when Oswald mentioned he was going to practice, although she never saw him take the rifle from the house. Subsequent to her testimony, she changed her story again. After telling the FBI she saw Oswald clean the rifle before he even ordered it, she "admitted" an incident in which she saw Oswald remove the rifle&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;concealed in a raincoat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to practice&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;at night&lt;/i&gt;. The following day her memory conveniently improved as she retracted her statement that she had seen Oswald with the rifle as early as January 1963. She added at this time that although Oswald had actually admitted practicing only once, she "deduced" he had practiced other times. This, essentially, was the final version of her story.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Marina was an entirely incredible witness&lt;/i&gt;. No honest jury could have believed any of her statements; for everything she said, there almost always existed a contradictory statement that she had made earlier. The Commission merely chose her most "juicy" descriptions of rifle practice and cited them, ignoring completely the other statements. The official use of Marina's testimony could best be described in Aldous Huxley's words, "You pays your money and you takes your choice."&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;One set of neighbors, the Eames family, lived so close to Oswald that they shared the same small grassy area by Oswald’s porch. Russell Eames (a boy at the time who talked to Oswald on several occasions) and others stated that they never saw Oswald with a rifle. Nobody else observed Oswald with a rifle at that address either, even though they reported short-term events such as a Cuban man coming to visit Oswald carrying a stack of flyers (apartment manager Mrs. Jesse Garner), Oswald hanging the wash for his wife on the line, and Oswald leaving the apartment carrying two suitcases and wearing goggles (tenant Eric Rogers).&amp;nbsp; The neighbors constantly described Oswald as reading long hours on his porch in September, and even using a small lamp after sunset so hcould continue reading. But no rifle is ever mentioned—a rifle Marina said Lee used to shoot at leaves in the park:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Lee%20Harvey%20Oswald%20and%20the%20Blanket,%20the%20Bag%20and%20the%20Rifle.docx#_ftn30" name="_ftnref30" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn30;" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;[30]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The testimonies of George DeMohrenschildt and of his wife, Jeanne, are often included to show that Lee H.

Oswald was headed elsewhere. It is implied that Lee Oswald loaded the rifle, wrapped in the blanket, into the station wagon: see author’s emphasis, bold face, below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 1.0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;“Ruth remembers Lee being unusually helpful two days later, when it came time to load the station wagon.

Marina let out a cheer when she crossed the border into Texas, telling Ruth, somewhat to her surprise, that she thought of the state as her home. After a night in a motel, the women continued on to Irving, &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;where Michael Paine was on hand to help unload the car.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Among the things that were carried into the garage was a securely tied green-and-brown blanket roll, which contained a bolt-action Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.&lt;/b&gt; The only adult there who didn't know that Oswald owned a gun was Ruth — the one person who wouldn't have allowed it in the house…”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Thomas Mallon in essence says Michael Paine and Marina both knew that Lee Oswald owned a ‘gun’ (rifle).

When she heard the bulletin of the shooting, her reaction was immediate: That's it for Texas.

That was when I had this feeling, My God, it could have been Lee — that he came out last night, that the gun had been there. . . .

When she started to open the blanket, she saw the stock of the rifle. Ruth and Michael Paine both noticed the rolled-up blanket in the garage during the time that Marina Oswald was living in their home.&amp;nbsp; On several occasions, Michael Paine moved the blanket in the garage. He thought it contained tent poles, or possibly other camping equipment, such as a folding shovel.&amp;nbsp; When he appeared before the Commission, Michael Paine lifted the blanket with the rifle wrapped inside and testified that it appeared to be the same approximate weight and shape as the package in his garage.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; tab-stops: 1.0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“About 3 hours after the assassination, a detective and as deputy sheriff saw the blanket-roll, tied with string, lying on the floor of the Paines’ garage. Each man testified that he thought he could detect the outline of a rifle in the blanket, even though the blanket was empty. Paul M. Stombaugh, of the FBI laboratory, examined the blanket and discovered a bulge approximately 10 inches long midway in the blanket. This bulge was apparently caused by a hard protruding object which had stretched the blanket’s fibers.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;It could have been caused by the telescopic sight of the rifle, which was approximately 11 inches long&lt;/i&gt;.”(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;emphasis added)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The Warren Commission’s suggestion that a bulge in the blanket might have indicated where a rifle sight had distorted the blanket ignores how the blanket was handled prior to having been admitted as evidence. A distortion of the blanket could have been caused by Ruth Paine’s stepping on the blanket: a woman’s shod foot is about a foot long, and she was not a dainty little woman.&amp;nbsp; We have the surprising account that she is ‘translating’ at the same time that she is standing on the blanket, so she must have stood on it for more than a moment. The blanket is actually being handled by Paine as she speaks here:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9g1nZSGz2IY/Teluib320zI/AAAAAAAAAHE/dAD0cgoiFcg/s1600/stand+on+blanket+paine.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9g1nZSGz2IY/Teluib320zI/AAAAAAAAAHE/dAD0cgoiFcg/s640/stand+on+blanket+paine.gif" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;v:shape id="Picture_x0020_10" o:spid="_x0000_i1028" style="height: 217.8pt; mso-wrap-style: square; visibility: visible; width: 439.2pt;" type="#_x0000_t75"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata cropbottom="34113f" cropright="3634f" croptop="12414f" o:title="" src="file:///C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image039.gif"&gt; &lt;/v:imagedata&gt;&lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 67.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;With Ruth Paine’s testimony (p. 79, Vol. II, WC Hearings, portion shown above) before us, we must ask a few questions&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 67.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 67.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;of &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Ruth Paine:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l6 level1 lfo2; text-indent: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;1)&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The rolled-up blanket was in full view on the afternoon of Nov. 22.
