Familiar Faces in Dealey Plaza

EVALUATING THE STILL PHOTO EVIDENCE
IN THE ASSASSIANTION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY


The problem with the photo evidence is that so far it has proved virtually nothing. Most of it is subject to interpretation and argument, even if the scientific method is employed.


In evaluating the still photo evidence in the assassination of President Kennedy the only thing that is clear is that the photo evidence is not decisive of very much, though it has told us a few critical things.


By decisive I mean irrefutable, undeniable and beyond argument, what James Jesus Angleton meant when he said you don't argue over the evidence that is put into the serials.


While the Zapruder film of the assassination is often described as the most significant evidence in the assassination, it was spliced, edited, printed only in stills and the full version suppressed so it is also very controversial and debatable. Therefore I will save the moving film for separate analysis and the Z film for last.


To begin with the still photo evidence that is decisive and does tell us something significant we only have photos of the Sixth Floor window taken minutes after the shooting, and the photo of Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie in the Civil Air Patrol, both of which offer decisive evidence that is not open to argument.



JFK PHOTO EVIDENCE SERIAL (JFK PES) # 1 Two photos of TSBD Sixth Floor Window.






For starters, the two still photos of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) building that depict the Sixth Floor SE corner window from which a sniper was seen shooting at the motorcade indicates that the boxes were moved after the last shot.


When the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) photo committee of specialist reviewed these two photos, taken within minutes of the last shot and within minutes of each other, they concluded that the boxes in the window were moved between the time the first photo was taken and the second photo, that shows the boxes in a different position.


The conclusion that these boxes were moved in the minutes after the shooting indicates the sniper did not immediately leave the area, and as one witness (Brennan) said, he was not in a hurry but took his time.


This conclusion is also supported by the statement of the Court Clerk from across Houston Street who witnessed the assassination from a fifth floor Court House window, and stated that she saw a man in the sixth floor sniper's window as long as three to four minutes after the last shot, clearly not Oswald.


JFK PES #2 PHOTO OF DAVID FERRIE AND LEE H. OSWALD AT CAP FIELD EVENT




Another decisive photo is the picture of New Orleans Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Captain David Ferrie at a barbeque with other CAP cadets including Lee Harvey Oswald, which put to rest the debate over whether Oswald was in Ferrie's unit or knew him at all. The Civil Air Patrol connection is significant, not only in associating Oswald and Ferrie, but the fact that D. H. Byrd, the owner of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) was an original founder of the CAP in Texas and an early airplane pioneer with Cord Meyer, Sr., the father of CIA officer Cord Meyer, Jr. That the CAP devised a program to have CAP cadets engage in clandestine intelligence operations against communists, including the infiltration of leftist organizations, supports the fact that Oswald's CAP activities were just a part of a larger covert operational profile (COP) personality.


JFK PES #3 THE BACKYARD PHOTOS 1 2 3







While the Backyard Photos are controversial, there are a number of them and each deserves its own analysis. Marina has admitted taking the photo though she only recalls taking one and there are a number of them, that depict Oswald dressed in black, holding the rifle allegedly used in the assassination, with the pistol allegedly used to kill Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit, and two magazines the Worker and the Militant, the official publications of the American Communist Party and the American Trotskyite Party.


The magazines are an important clue, as if you actually read those issues, they contain articles about the CIA's maritime attacks on Cuba that originated at JMWAVE and Castro was complaining about at the time, shortly before the assassination.


It is now a key supposition that one of those anti-Castro Cuban teams, paid and trained by the CIA to kill Castro, redirected their fire to JFK at Dealey Plaza when their mission to kill Castro was "disapproved by higher authority" and they learned about the secret back channel negations JFK was conducting with Castro to renew official diplomatic relations and maintaining Castro in power.


I call the Backyard Photo a "Mission Photo" as it is very similar to the photos airmen take in front of their plane before or after a big mission, or like the Wild Bunch photo of the soldiers of fortune who were sent to Costa Rica to train the Contras to fight the Sandinistas in Nicaragua after the fall of Somoza, one of the Godfathers of the Bay of Pigs.


That this was such a "Mission Photo" is supported by the copy of the photo that Oswald gave to George deMohrenschildt, that Marina inscribed with the notation "Hunter of Fascists Ha Ha," the fascist being General Walker, who Oswald is also accused of shooting.


PES # 3 THE PHOTO OF WALKER'S HOUSE





That bring us to the photo Oswald allegedly took during his stakeout of General Walker's Turtle Creek home, that includes a 1957 Chevy parked in the driveway. A copy of the photo in possession of Chief Curry shows the picture intact, but by the time the Warren Commission got it the license plate on the Chevy had been cut out, ostensibly so we wouldn't learn the identity of the owner of the Chevy. While the Warren Commission concluded it was an associate of Walker, others now claim it was a Cuban.
