Ralph Yates

[David Josephs]

Thanks David. I had never seen that FBI document confirming Yates had passed a lie detector test on all of the specific Oswald claims.


Perhaps this is what made jumping-horses-in-midstream-Greg change his claim that Yates was mentally ill and made the whole thing up to it was Larry Crafard. Greg obviously realized the evidence was too strong for the polygraph confirming the incriminating details.


You really have to hold the deniers' noses to it because they claimed Yates' story was the result of mental illness and gathering details from post-assassination media reports. Not one of them ever directly answers how the polygraph confirmed that Yates saw everything he described. Once you admit this obvious truth you are then forced to ask some very obvious questions that require answers.


The reason you have to hold the deniers' noses in it is because FBI specifically told Dorothy Yates that since the polygraph confirmed Yates believed what he was saying he was therefore legally insane since we know Oswald was at the Depository at that time.


Pretty interesting how the notorious schizophrenic Ralph Yates managed such a consistent and smooth clean line on the lie detector considering the stress he was under led to his being institutionalized.

Albert -

You may wish to visit the link from which I posted that info... YATES - as my post says - neither PASSES or FAILS the polygraph - which is not the result of a polygraph.

What the LIE here is the FBI claiming the lack of emotional response negates a conclusion when in fact it suggests the subject is telling the truth.

The pattern that apears to be missed is that the evidence related to exhonerating Oswald is ALWAYS matched with a mentally ill witness, or a forgetful witness, or any of a number of excuses the FBI uses to discredit the witness in favor of the poorly supported incrimination evidence from which the FBI and WC bent over backward to accept at all costs.

When similar things happen to Yates, Bolden, Craig when telling their truths in the years following 1963 it is not such a far jump to conclusion the FBI compiled its case with the result in mind... not with an investigation in mind.

Greg Parker is a non-issue. His sources have always been FBI reports and poor analysis of same... and his arguments on these forums is a never ending grasping at straws.

As for Tom here, I'd advise you be a bit more understanding of his POV and effort involved. Technically the polygraph was NOT "passed" - what raises red flags for me is the repeated need to reinterview him... for a "crazy person" he sure is consistent with the story told.



It's FBI reports like the following which had become SOP for the FBI needing to question evidence.

If Tom could substantiate this report with the original WCD, as well the "original" interview of JR Gilpin as well as the Charlie Meat Market employee signed statement about the check, then we can have a conversation...

But if all we get is this report - SAC DALLAS can write whatever they want for history and Oswald incrimination sake...

It is the FBI's responsibility to corroborate and authenticate it's evidence... until doing so it MUSt be assume the evidence is part of the conspiracy and NOt part of the investigation
