Albert Doyle Wrote:It could be time to view the rifles witnessed in the Book Depository days prior to the assassination as part of the set-up. If the Depository was a Potemkin Village designed as a platform for the assassination the rifles present in it could have been similar to the Oswald look-alikes and other pre-designed activities meant to conceal the assassination. These rifles could have been deliberately introduced in order to condition Depository employees into not taking notice to rifles in the building. When you combine this with Ralph Yates' witnessing of a CIA Oswald double carrying a rifle towards the Depository and Oswald being photographed posing with a Carcano you see a pattern of rifles being introduced in order to taint the scene.

Maybe you're right. I'm not sure. The specific reasons those rifles were in the Depository in the preceding days and who influenced them into being there would be interesting to find out. In my opinion you can't ignore the other examples of rifle flooding in advance that appears in the assassination.

Albert Doyle Wrote:Well I meant it in the context of Oswald being set-up with the backyard photos holding a rifle, a rifle being witnessed heading towards the Depository by Ralph Yates, and other such deliberate presentations of the rifle prior to the assassination like the shooting range Oswald and rifle. When you take into consideration that there is a pattern of either the Carcano or other rifles appearing before the assassination the rifles seen in the Depository just prior to the assassination deserve scrutiny. It could very well be that rifles were deliberately introduced into the Depository just prior to the assassination in order to make their presence less suspicious.


According to the Warren Commission the 40 inch CE2766 Carcano was allegedly delivered in a shipment of 100 that weighed the correct weight for a uniform order of 100 36 inch rifles according to the Lifschultz shipping invoice. I pointed-out to a denier that the alleged 10 pack of 40 inch Carcanos would not have conformed to the box length of the other 36 inch Carcanos in the shipment.
