Sean Murphy's research deserves more

[Bob Prudhomme]

Parker simply isn't credible. He keeps insisting Carolyn Arnold had 12:25 burned in her brain and that's why she gave that time to FBI in March 1964. But he ignores the fact that Carolyn Arnold worked at the Book Depository for the 4 months prior to that statement. The Depository would have been intensely buzzing with talk of the assassination, including the 12:30 shooting time. But so would the Dallas media that went on an intense campaign of assassination information. Does Greg maybe think that a Depository employee who witnessed Lee Harvey Oswald in the famous lunch-room might be curious about the newspaper coverage and maybe read a little prior to her 1964 statement? Greg is cooked. He's right back to his same old rotten lacking stuff while trying to crawl back out of yet another embarrassing hole of his own creation. He's confused and doesn't quite give any coherent answer to why, after having 4 months of post assassination exposure to the 12:30 shooting time, did Carolyn Arnold say 12:25? The answer is pretty obvious that Mrs Arnold would never confuse that time after being exposed to intense advertizing of the real 12:30 time over the preceding 4 months. Greg's wheels falling off response shows he's shot and can't come up with any credible answer. He doesn't show any acknowledgement of the fact that Mrs Arnold's statement was made 4 months later. And this is coming from the great Aussie corrector.


Greg is right back to ignoring that when Golz showed her the 1963 FBI statement saying she left at 12:15 she protested I never said that. She told Golz it was 12:25.


Greg's collapsing response with parts spilling out over the floor dishonestly ignores the fact Carolyn Arnold told FBI in 1964 that 12:25 was the time she "left the building". He keeps trying to dishonestly shape context by suggesting Mrs Arnold was saying when she left the area, but anyone can see Greg is ignoring Graves' post that showed photos of Mrs Arnold at the Depository corner around 12:40. Parker also ignores the fact those ladies would not ignore the time in that situation where they had to coordinate leaving work.


Parker finally finishes his diary of deceit by once again repeating that Carolyn Arnold saw Oswald in the vestibule - despite Mrs Arnold's clear protest to Golz that she did NOT see him there. Parker is clearly a psychopath who puts himself above the actual witnesses. It's kind of sad seeing him engage in a convoluted Cinque-like series of contrivances to get around the failed exercise that preceded it. He clearly failed to live up to the facts and arguments and his weak explanations are just a repeat of what was already refuted.


"This will be explained in my next book" - Poor man...



Parker is now Cinque level material and needs to be treated so.


He's done.

You might be surprised at this but, I happen to agree with you about Golz. Considering how many other witness statements were edited by the FBI, it comes as no surprise that Carolyn Arnold's departure time from the building (and not Dealey Plaza) would be changed from 12:15 to 12:25. The FBI were desperate to place Oswald on the 6th floor at the time of the shooting, and 12:25 was cutting things a bit too close. It also comes as no surprise that Ms. Arnold was completely unaware of the FBI's "editing" until it was pointed out to her by Golz, fifteen years later.

All that being said, though, is it not possible that, a minute or two after Arnold left the second floor lunch room, Oswald heard the commotion of the crowd responding to the approaching motorcade and ran down one flight of stairs and out the front door, to see what the excitement was all about? He would have been on the top step (in the Prayer Man position) just before JFK passed by and just in time to be captured on the Couch film. This would also explain why PM was in such a poor position to view the motorcade. He simply got there too late to find a better position and, being the somewhat introverted individual that he was, he might have been hesitant about asking others to move so he might get a better view.

With the attention of those on the steps riveted on JFK, it is not surprising that no one on the steps saw Oswald. Buell Wesley Frazier should have seen him, though, but will not ID PM as Oswald. However, he will not ID PM as anyone else, either, and, considering that all of the witnesses on the steps stated they saw no strangers in the TSBD that day (I'm assuming this includes the steps), Frazier should have known who PM was, as PM, by default, had to be an employee who worked in the TSBD.
