Ralph Yates

[Albert Doyle]

I've always been an agnostic about the Ralph Yates story. The case for conspiracy (and Oswald as a framed patsy) doesn't depend on accepting it, anyway.

Some of these fake Oswald sightings have always seemed gratuitous and unnecessary, even absurd, far beyond what is necessary to set up somebody for a crime.

Tracy,


I don't think Jack Kennedy would have written-off Yates so quickly. I think he would have seen how important a symbol he was to the powerful being able to turn the phony claim of American government protection of individual rights on its head and destroy the vulnerable using some of the dirtiest tricks in the book.

None of what you wrote answers the evidence that shows serious validity to some of those sightings.


Scully is just entering more wind that ignores that Yates passed a lie detector test showing the rifle in the brown paper wrapper was real. And the Oswald double walked towards the Depository with it. JFK Assassination researchers should be able to detect that FBI's reaction to Yates showed a serious need to hide something.
