NBC Archives has apparently given the original footage taken by WBAP's Jimmy Darnell to the Sixth Floor Museum. This film includes footage of the TSBD front landing and the infamous PrayerMan figure, and is inherently the source for the best-quality image we will ever be able to obtain.

This is a big step forward. I worked with Brian Doyle for a couple of winters 6-7 years ago, appraising NBC's archivists (both in NY and LA) of the critical need to make the original available, even for just a private digital scan. And I beseeched RFK Jr. and several other luminaries to use their pull and help make this happen. This was a righteous effort and it is very satisfying to see it come to pass, however the details transpired.

The PrayerMan excerpt from the original has already been posted by David von Pein on Page 3 of the Education Forum thread news about the Darnell film at https://educationforum.iphost/topic/3079...-film/page 3/#comments

Already the PM image is at least as clear as Chris Davidson's best enhancement, which was made with high-key filters from a 1st- or 2nd-generation copy. And when the photo-wizards in the research community set their skills onto this new PM image, the identifying features will only become more and more apparent.

It is a stout woman in a ring-necked dress. She is a full head shorter than Wesley Frazier. Her name is Sarah Stanton.

This constitutes a complete vindication for Brian Doyle, who has been strenuously contending this very identity for the past decade. Opposing the mob - at great personal cost - who were arguing that PM was Oswald. Painstakingly vanquishing every last Sophistic argument that disingenuously attempted to fit Oswald inside that blurry image. Enduring endless insults and disrespect, and ostracization, in his effort to correctly discern the truth and preserve academic integrity.

The PM Sophists were so easily blinded - losing sight of objective, empirical science - to readily embrace any shaky argument that supported their zealous belief. They were not interested in subjecting their cherished idea to the rigors of cross-examination. They did not have ears to listen. And they did not bother to think through Doyle's arguments for themselves, out of fear of being ridiculed by their Murphyite peers. And as a result they ended up Shit Creek without a paddle.

They have no recourse other than to admit they were wrong. A simple apology, a simple thank you, goes a long way toward the healing that is needed in this community after the long, long PM struggle.

In the final analysis, we're looking for answers. And this particular question is not debatable. Who was PrayerMan? It was Sarah Stanton.

Thank you, Mr. Doyle.

In the last two days both Glen Greenwald and Aaron Mate have made special asides on their programs emphasizing that JFK was no different than the rest of the Cold War reactionaries of his time and there was no special reason for his Assassination...Greenwald said JFK was behind the CIA coups in Cuba, Brazil, and Viet Nam and was not any different than the right-wingers behind the worst CIA activities during his administration...Mate said he saw no special reason behind Kennedy's assassination and the only outstanding thing about Kennedy was his sexual appetite...Both Mate and Greenwald cited Chomsky as their source with Mate adding Sy Hersch...

It is incredible that this ethnic source would deny Kennedy his martyrdom for the same progressive politics they espouse...They need to read DiEugenio and Douglass...

The current state of JFK Assassination discussion has The Education Forum dominating as the main discussion website...Greg Parker retired his ROKC troll farm from active status to the benefit of credible research and Duncan MacRae is a mentally ill unserious website host whose purpose is undermining serious research...The only other board is this one which appears to have gone read-only...

The Deep Politics board used to be openly opposed to the unfair moderation of the Education Forum...It has since retreated from that stance along with removing its site rules...This situation has been accompanied by a conspicuous cessation of activity on the board...The board has become a discussion board with no discussion...

I'm limited to cell phone so I'll keep it to the cellphone version...Jim DiEugenio has dropped DPF and posts on The Education Forum now...DiEugenio is an open praiser and supporter of Education Forum moderator James Gordon who banned me for posting the correct evidence that Prayer Man was Sarah Stanton....My correct evidence directly served the DPF purpose and site rules and helped discredit a notorious troll group that was corrupting the JFK internet...Jim DiEugenio ignored this and praised Gordon for banning me after he gave credit to that troll group and their bogus Prayer Man claim...

My Prayer Man research led to some serious other discoveries like Sarah Stanton hearing Oswald say he was going in to the 2nd Floor Lunch Room during the assassination...I also figured out the scenario in the Lobby to the point of solving the conspiracy...As well as figuring out the Lunch Room Encounter (that DiEugenio denied, agreeing with the trolls)...These are some of the most important discoveries in 60 years of research that have been totally ignored because of DiEugenio's traitorous censoring alliance with Gordon...Jim's teaming up with Gordon to destroy important evidence is so bad that it would have constituted a breach of DPF rules under the original rules...

I guess the point of this post is that DPF is in a very good position to practice its original purpose in order to overcome Education Forum malpractice and malfeasance in order to advance the conspiracy evidence...Right now the EF has allowed ROKC and European trolls and Lone Nutters to shift the balance and stymie the board into its present dysfunction...The present dormant state of this website only aids that self-defeating condition...It is time to get discussion going on this board again for the sake of JFK research...Time to break up the clique...The research community is abandoning its credibilty and a solving of the conspiracy all so it can childishly avoid admitting it was wrong on Prayer Man...

Niederhut is voicing a valid issue of how the tolerance of Lone Nutters on The Education Forum affects research, however there is an even better example of damaging tolerance of disinformation in the form of the Prayer Man theory and the Forum's handling of it...James Gordon banned me in 2016 in order to hijack the subject and avoid answering the Davidson Enhancement that clearly showed Prayer Man was a woman...There were many more examples that proved Prayer Man was Sarah Stanton, like Prayer Man's height, however recently Davidson showed a woman's scoop neckline on Prayer Man in Darnell irrefutably ending the issue...James Gordon ignored this vindicating proof and helped slide the thread showing it in to oblivion...Davidson's damning proof was ignored and no recognition of its implications was ever made...Not even by the Lone Nutters...

What this means is the most damaging disinformation on The Education Forum doesn't originate from the Lone Nutters...It originates from the apostate moderators who damage good conspiracy evidence worse than anybody and corrupt the site worse than anyone...It also originates from the cowardly members who watch all this and say nothing...The Prayer Man issue has created the destructive precedent of the Forum attacking and banning important good research and establishing a clique of self-entitled members who are allowed to flagrantly deny good evidence... Since this comes from the moderators and is used against important CT research it is a much more significant offense than anything the Lone Nutters do because, as Niederhut suggests, most credible researchers understand the Lone Nutters are intentionally lying...Niederhut needs to aim a little higher if he is going to challenge how the forum is run and who is guilty of the worst disinformation...

Donald Trump narrowly avoided Kennedy's head shot from the front at a rally north of Pittsburg...The sniper, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot down by Secret Service after he wounded Trump's right ear...Crooks had found an unguarded roof top at the farmer's fairground where he managed to get off 5 shots in single shot mode on his AR-15...

A few weeks ago Trump said he would release the Kennedy Assassination documents if re-elected...

It is possible Trump's life was saved by spectors who saw Crooks on the roof and shouted for police distracting him and making him rush...

I no longer believe such thing exists as "The New World Order", not in conspiratorial terms anyway. Those old clips of Bush Sr. talking about that were right in that sweet spot so to speak after the fall of the Soviet Union, and after the US had seen Saddam Hussein swinging at the end of a rope.

At that point in time there truly was a new world order established, a unipolar world order was firmly established out of the ruins of the post WW2 bipolar world order. The United States truly stood alone as literally the rulers of the universe for all intents and purposes, unleashed to do whatever it wanted to around the world, wherever and whenever it so chose, without consequence.

Officially known as the self described Rules Based International Order, or sometimes the Liberal World Order, this US led world order is in a state of rapid collapse. Much of that collapse self induced as a result of desperately clinging to something that's already gone.

We're now in the birthing stages of a multi polar world, and the more the US tries to stop this by bringing Russia and China back to heel the faster this process goes, and the faster it loses respect around the world.

This old unipolar world order, were there any wisdom behind its machinations, could have easily and seamlessly accepted the changing of the seasons and still had a powerful and vital role at the big table; but it can't do that. It only knows one way - my way or the highway. No talks, no negotiating. Do as we say or else! And that shit don't fly no more as might be said on the street.

As of a few months ago I was still questioning whether this old world order, could possibly allow this new world order to birth without forcing an ultimate nuclear confrontation as it clambers up the escalation ladder. Now, that question is all but answered, for me anyway. I'm not even sure if these "people" are even sane any more the more I observe them, nor even in possession of the basic ability to make a rational decision.

Thank goodness I at least see patience, and yes wisdom in our perceived enemies, were they like us we may already be in nuclear winter. But the one thing they CAN'T do, is make this old world order takes its rightful place in the dust bin of history without taking the whole damn thing with them. I'm down to almost thinking we need a friggin miracle to successfully navigate these birthing pangs. Maybe there really is something to that story of ET shutting down a nuclear launch site? 

I hope so...

By Gil Jesus ( 2024 )

I. The blanket fibers in the bag

"Inside the bag were...a single brown delustered viscose fiber and several light-green cotton fibers....The fibers found in the bag were compared with brown viscose and green cotton fibers taken from the blanket. The brown viscose fiber found in the bag matched some of the brown viscose fibers found in the blanket....Each green cotton fiber found in the bag matched some of the green cotton fibers from the blanket....." ( Report, pg. 591 )

While the Report was quick to note that the fibers in the bag matched some of the fibers taken from the blanket, it suppressed the conclusion of its fiber expert, FBI agent Paul M. Stombaugh, that because he found too few fibers in the bag, he could not positively identify them as having come from the blanket.

Mr. EISENBERG. Now, in your mind what do you feel about the origin of the fibers you found in the bag ?
Mr. STOMBAUGH. I didn't find enough fibers to form an opinion on those. ( 4 H 88 )

The Commission speculates how the fibers got in the bag

The Commission concluded that the rifle picked up the blanket fibers and while it was in the paper "gunsack", released them into the bag.
This conclusion relied on a "hypothetical question" asked of Stombaugh and his opinion:

Mr. EISENBERG.....if the rifle had lain in the blanket, which is 140, and were then put inside the bag 142, could it have picked up fibers from the blanket and transferred them to the bag ?
Mr. STOMBAUGH. Yes. ( 4 H 81 )

It could have, but did it ?

Did the rifle pick up fibers from the blanket and release them into the bag ? And if it did, how many fibers would it pick up ? Would it release all of the fibers into the bag or would some remain on the rifle ?
The Commission never ran any tests with the rifle, blanket and bag in order to prove this is what happened.

No blanket fibers on the rifle

One would think that the Commission concluded the rifle transferred the fibers from the blanket to the bag because blanket fibers remained on the rifle.
But the fact is that the rifle, when examined, contained no fibers from the blanket.
"no fibers were found on the K1 gun that could be associated with the Q12 blanket" ( FBI file # 105-82555, Sec 21, pg. 177 )

If the rifle was the transfer vehicle for the blanket fibers, shouldn't there be evidence for that ? Shouldn't there be fibers still on the rifle ?
Why was the rifle, bound tightly with twine and in contact with the blanket for months and allegedly moved from Dallas to New Orleans back to Dallas, not able to hold onto the blanket fibers but was able to hold the shirt fibers so tightly, that they had to be removed with tweezers ?

Once again, the Commission turned to its fiber expert, Stombaugh, who testified that any blanket fibers loosely adhering to the rifle, "could have been dusted off" during the processing by police for fingerprints. ( 4 H 88 )
This was the Commission's "explanation" for the absence of blanket fibers on the rifle. More "could have been" speculation without proof.
Of course, the Commission could have had that proof had it run tests with the blanket and the rifle.

But it didn't.

Therefore, the Commission's conclusion that the rifle transferred the fibers from the blanket to the bag was based on an opinion rather than evidence obtained from a test.
What the Commission gave us was pure speculation: It provided no evidence that the rifle picked up fibers from the blanket. Absent blanket fibers on the rifle, there was no evidence that the blanket fibers were ever on the rifle. There was no evidence that blanket fibers were dusted away during the processing of the rifle for fingerprints.

And the way police handled the bag with the open end facing down, suggests that there were no fibers in the bag when it left the Texas School Book Depository.

Photographs show police carrying the bag with the open end down

In addition, famous news photographs taken outside the Texas School Book Depository of Detective Robert L. Montgomery with the paper "gunsack" show that he carried the bag with the open end pointed down.
The photo on the right shows Montgomery making an obscene hand gesture to the news photographer with his left hand behind the bag.

https://gil-jesus.com/wp-content/uploads...ontage.jpg

If he knew there was something inside the bag, no detective worth his salt would handle an open ended bag with the open end facing down. Even if he didn't know for sure there was something inside, he would not handle the bag that way. The only reason he would handle the bag with the open end down is if he knew the bag had nothing in it and there was no danger of losing evidence that might be inside.

The fact that police handled the bag with the open end down suggests that there were no blanket fibers in it when it left the Texas School Book Depository.

II. The shirt fibers found on the rifle

On the evening of November 22nd, part of the evidence turned over to FBI agent Vincent Drain included the rifle, blanket, gunsack, and Oswald's shirt.
The FBI found a "tuft" of six or seven cotton fibers which were caught by a jagged edge of the butt plate of the CE 139 rifle. The fibers were orange-yellow, grey-black and dark blue. When compared to the cotton fibers from the CE 150 shirt, they matched in shade and twist.

But while in its Report the Commission speculated on how the blanket fibers got in the bag, it offered no explanation for how the shirt fibers got on the rifle. Was it before, after or during the shooting sequence ?

Snugly wrapped

Its fiber expert Stombaugh testified that the fibers were "wrapped around rather snugly to the sharp edge". ( 4 H 83 ) How were they wrapped ? Were they wrapped clockwise or counter-clockwise ? The direction of wrap would tell which direction either the rifle or the shirt was moving when the fibers were caught.
What part of the shirt did the fibers come from ? Did they come from an area of the shirt ( shoulder ) that was consistent with firing the rifle, or did they come from the front pocket, or the back of the shirt ?

The Commission never asked.

Stombaugh testified that the fibers were adhering so tightly to the gun, "I had to take a pair of tweezers and work them out." ( ibid. )
Would this have required more than a normal rubbing between the shirt and the butt plate ?
The snugly wrapped and tightly adhering of the fibers to the jagged edge suggests that an abnormal amount of pressure was exerted on the shirt at the time of contact with the butt plate.
Could the shirt have been rubbed by hand against the jagged edge of the butt plate in order to catch fibers from the shirt ?

The Commission never ran any tests to find out.

The Commission fails again

Not only did the Commission fail to ask questions, it failed to conduct experiments. For example, firing the rifle while wearing the CE 150 shirt could have helped determine whether the fibers were caught during the shooting sequence.

Another test the Commission could have run would be to strongly rub the shirt against the butt plate and see if the jagged edge caught any fibers. An examination of how the fibers were wrapped on the jagged edge could determine whether it caught the fibers legitimately or if the fibers were planted by police.
Stombaugh's testimony suggests that the fibers may have been caught AFTER the rifle was dusted for fingerprints.

The laying of the fibers
Video taken at the scene shows Lt. Day dusting the rifle at the time of discovery, inside the Texas School Book Depository.

https://gil-jesus.com/wp-content/uploads...-rifle.mp4

If there was no fingerprint powder in the crevice, then the fibers were on the rifle before it was dusted for fingerprints and were pushed into the crevice preventing the fingerprint powder from getting in there. But if there was fingerprint powder in the crevice, then the fibers were added AFTER the rifle was dusted. So the position between the fibers and the fingerprint powder are crucial in determining if the fibers were caught on the jagged edge before or after the rifle was dusted for fingerprints.

Stombaugh testified that there was fingerprint powder, "down and through the crevice there". ( 4 H 83 )

If the fibers were "folded very neatly down in the crevice" by a powder brush as Stombaugh claimed, there shouldn't be ANY fingerprint powder in the crevice. The pushing of the fibers into the crevice would prevent that.
This is an argument that researcher Pat Speer and myself have made on several occasions.

The fact that there was fingerprint powder IN THE CREVICE suggests that the fibers were caught by the jagged edge AFTER it had been dusted for fingerprints.
One question the Commission did not ask Stombaugh was if it were possible to dust the rifle, rub the fibers onto the jagged edge by hand then dust the butt end again to make it look like the dust hadn't been rubbed off.

The "fresh" fibers
Stombaugh testified to the condition of the fibers:
"They were clean, they had good color to them, there was no grease on them and they were not fragmented. They looked as if they had just been picked up." ( 4 H 83 )

Stombaugh testified that his idea of "old" fibers was in the area of 1-2 months. ( 4 H 82 ) So although he declined to give an estimation of how long the fibers were on the rifle, he would only say that, "these fibers were put on there in the recent past." ( 4 H 84 )
Stombaugh described the fibers a being, "fairly fresh" ( 4 H 82 )

But the Commission provided no evidence that the CE 150 shirt had contact with the rifle in the two month period before November 22, 1963.
And its only witness that Oswald wore the shirt on November 22nd was bus passenger Mary Bledsoe, a stroke victim who couldn't remember what bus she was on ( 6 H 408 ) and who testified from notes because she couldn't remember "what I have to say" ( ibid. ). She also couldn't remember what day she made those notes ( ibid. ).
But she remembered Oswald and the shirt he was wearing and was able to positively identify him even though "his face was so distorted" that she "didn't look at him". ( 6 H 409 ).
This was the Commission's star witness connecting the CE 150 shirt with the rifle.

None of Oswald's co-workers identified the CE 150 shirt as the shirt Oswald wore to work that morning.

Conclusion
In many of the areas in this case, the Commission speculated where it had no physical evidence. One of those areas was the fiber evidence.
The Commission failed to run tests to prove that fibers from the blanket could have been picked up by the rifle and transferred into the bag.
What part of the rifle picked them up ? How many fibers were picked up ? Were they all released into the bag or did some remain on the rifle ?

The Commission didn't want to know.

Likewise, it failed to run tests to see if the rifle could pick up fibers from the CE 150 shirt.

The Commission also failed to prove that Oswald wore the CE 150 while in the building on November 22nd. Oswald's co-workers testified that he usually worked in his t-shirt and none of them identified the CE 150 shirt as the shirt he wore while working that morning.

The Commission provided no evidence with regard to when, where or how the shirt came in contact with the rifle.

It failed to run tests, like rubbing the shirt against the butt plate, to see if the jagged edge picked up the fibers or if the fibers were "snugly wrapped" around the edge in the same fashion as the fibers found by the FBI.

These tests would have either proven the Commission's theory, or opened the possibility that the shirt fibers were planted.
But they weren't interested in the truth. They were interested in finding evidence against Oswald.

Though I have received numerous complaints - two recent complaints have truly shocked me. In case you are in any doubt I am talking to you as the owner of this site.
1 Pat Speer was a JFK researcher before David Butler, Mark Knight, Kathy Becket and I took this site over. I believe he is seriously ill at the moment
And he has been banned!!! According to the Moderarors Reminders Rules a member needs to infringe 50 points he or she is banned. Where are Pat’s 50 point infringements listed.
It used to be the norm that a moderator would inform the other moderators of his/her intention to ban a member. Was there discussion between the three remaining moderators before Pat was banned. I raise this because often through moderator discussion the said moderator was persuaded not to ban
I am bitterly disappointed that  Mark Knight - a founding member of the admin team from posting  -  has been banned. What astonished me is that Mark was informed that he was no longer a moderator. As owner of this site I inform all that Mark Knight is still a respected member of the admin team.
On page 1 is a topic Moderator Reminders. In that thread is a Penalty Chart. That chart speaks volumes about how this forum is presently being run. What is not listed is what kind of behaviour has to be conducted in order to be given a said penalty. If the EF is to have such a chart then is imperative that all members understand the infringements. A listing of the punishments is not sufficient.
Foolishly I had assumed all was well with the EF. I want to know what are the views of members about this forum. I would be pleased to know what are the present weaknesses of this forum and where and how the site can be improved.
I invite members to use this thread to both describe the present state of the site as well as suggest how the moderators can improve on it.

Owner  "




It seems pretty obvious that someone (probably Mark Knight) contacted Gordon for a rescue from the recent shake-up on the Education Forum by Sandy Larsen...Like I said many times, Gordon has not left the forum...He keeps himself available in order to make horrendous decisions and back them with the threat of punishment...He's a really stupid bastard with total power (very British)...

Predictably Gordon came in and defended Speer and Knight and threatened some kind of action...Gordon, as usual, skips the entire point of Speer's banning and the reasons why in his pompous post...To make matters worse, Gordon comes in and sides with Speer saying that Jenkins was pointing to the top of his head...Ladies and Gentlemen, you are looking, right here, at the reason why the Education Forum is a useless wheel-spinning forum and has done nothing but uselessly prolong the solving of the conspiracy for the time of its existence...

Who is James Gordon, how did he get in to such a position of power, and why does he have so much power?...There's too many ass-kissers on the Education Forum like the posters who take Speer, Knight, and Gordon seriously...Gordon is just a regular member who was promoted to site owner because nobody else wanted to do it...He's an incompetent and a fool and has no earned qualification...He's the idiot who banned the guy who out-argued the entire community on the Prayer Man evidence (with no such protest against that woefully unjust banning like he gives the disinformationist Speer)...Gordon is avoiding answering the point that Jenkins himself totally endorsed Keven Hofeling...Jenkins should have been a little more precise, but there's no doubt he dismissed Speer's claim...Gordon ignores that and he shouldn't be allowed to...

Because the JFK research community signed on to the Prayer Man theory they disarmed themselves of the best weapon they could counter Gordon with... - Myself! - ...Literally the best thing they could respond with to Gordon would be to point out his banning of myself for posting the correct Prayer Man evidence - or his lying about the reason for my banning...I am 100% certain that power-abusing Gordon would respond with more of his lies and threats - the point at which the community should do what it should have done 8 years ago when Gordon forced his bullying and lies to be the rule on the forum by banning me...People are stupid and they fail to see that all that stupid bastard Gordon has is banning and the threat of banning...He has no intellectual research competency of its own merit, as his backing of Speer shows...He's a cowardly man behind the curtain who raises every issue to a grandiose do or die defense of so-called principles that any fool can see he has failed to establish and is only using as an excuse for his terror...He's a pathetic little man who isn't answering for his enabling of Speer's dishonesty and its effect on the Forum...

Members of the Education Forum:  THIS IS THE CHANCE!...When Gordon responds by demoting Larsen and protecting the violators it is time that the members grew a pair and shed themselves of the stupid tyranny and backwards moderation of James Gordon...It is pure case of poetic justice that those Education Forum members who stood by and did nothing while Gordon railroaded me off the board are now getting a taste of their own medicine...

This is the opportunity...It is time to speak up and tell Gordon NO!...It is time to tell Gordon thanks but no thanks and if he too doesn't recuse himself, and preferably remove himself from the board, that they will seek another venue...It is sad to note that this final validation of the Deep Politics Forum is being met by its leadership having backed off its original opposition to the Education Forum, therefore depriving itself of this victory...It is even sadder that the best weapon the banners of Speer could defend themselves with against Gordon (ME) is something they have disallowed themselves through misconduct...

Make the move pay Sandy or forever take your place in the halls of cowardice...If you are going to take that stand for good research and truth do it all the way...Time for Gordon to go because he is the most guilty...He's an ignorant, bombastic fool who goes around bullying people with his site owner avatar...If the Education Forum doesn't put him in his place then they will never recover their credibility...You know what you have to do...
