Richard Gilbride Wrote:This mega-essay is finally gratefully finished and is available at my website's ESSAYS section at http://www.jfkinsidejob.com/death-of-the...room-hoax/
It is 90 pages long with about 75 photos & scans of document-portions and news paragraphs. This is required ​reading for anyone even tangentially affiliated with the 2nd-floor lunchroom issue. It will take 6-8 hours to absorb, and the reader might split that up into 3-4 sittings.
Please give it your careful attention. This will become the standard reference for the lunchroom encounter topic. Every last hoax argument has been refuted.
This is also a definitive disassembly of Bart Kamp's mega-essay Anatomy of the Second Floor Lunchroom Encounter. I found over two dozen egregious errors, a half-dozen of those gigantic enough to be called whoppers. And numerous faulty explanations derived from these basic errors of fact.
Kamp's technique of writing without footnotes lets him say whatever he thinks he can get away with in his attempt to push his theory on unsuspecting readers. Along with several instances of misquoting people to try and tailor their statements to advance his thesis.
In short, Kamp's essay is one of the sloppiest pieces of scholarship ever to come down the pike. Those who have endorsed his work never bothered to do any simple fact-checking. This will embarrass you for the remainder of your research careers.
You may not like me, but you will eventually thank me for straightening out this holy mess.
As I continue to read, and appreciate RichardGillBride's essay, that presents compelling reliable evidence that the SecondFloorLunchRoom Encounter is not a "hoax", and did occur as testimony indicates, I suppose it shall be forever quite disappointing to me to read the repeated criticisms by others of DPD SoloMotorcycleOfficer MarrionLewisBaker, as a trained law enforcement officer, doing his job quite courageously and following his instincts. He did not receive a "direct order" to disregard the TSBD Building and go to the railroad track area, as some have posted. He bravely, and alone, entered the building that appeared to be the location of a gunman, or gunmen, shooting from an upper area and possibly at the JohnFitzgeraldKennedySr Presidential Motorcade, that also included the FirstLady, JacquelineBouvier Kennedy,Texas Governor JohnBowdenConnallyJr and FirstLady IdanelBrillConnally in the PresidentialLimousine, and followed by a Limousine carrying VicePresident LyndonBainesJohnson and wife ClaudiaAlta"LadyBird"Johnson, along with US Senator RalphWebsterYarborough, with PoliceOfficer Escorts, SecretServiceAgents, as well as other FederalAgents, and other dignitaries and NewsReporters/Camermen at various positions in the motorcade. I have to consider other bravery as well, including that of TSBD BuildingSuperintendent RoySansomTruly, as he and OfficerBaker were among the first to began a building search for a shooter. Just maybe, those of us that can recall 11/22/'63, and the early ambiguous and chaotic reports of the assassination attempt tend to have a different perspective overall.
