From the insidethearrb article, Douglas Horne writes:
I've got news for you, Chris Matthews: I have no trouble believing that Timothy McVeigh was an angry lone nut who blew up a Federal Building and killed many innocent people, and furthermore I have no trouble believing that Mark David Chapman, for instance, killed John Lennon all by himself, or that President Ford was stalked by a lone nut who attempted to kill him but failed. I have no trouble believing those things because the overwhelming weight of the evidence points in that direction in each case. In spite of my love for the Beatles, I did not have a strong emotional need that forced me to construct a conspiracy theory around how and why John Lennon was murdered. Get real, Chris---spare us the psychobabble.
Phil's note: I don't have a "stong emotional need that forced me to construct a conspiracy theory around how and why ___________ was murdered. As they used to say on the street, that's not how I roll. They say something else now; I'm not with it, as they have changed what it is, you see.
Now, let us again return to the record and note that in the insidethearrb article Douglas Horne writes:
(7) No credible witness saw Lee Harvey Oswald firing his rifle that day, and furthermore, the paraffin test designed to determine whether he had done so, produced a negative result. In fact, Oswald was seen in the second floor lunch room only 5 minutes prior to the assassination (not on the sixth floor), and based on the most careful analysis of the famous Altgens photo, Oswald was in fact standing in the front doorway of the Book Depository when JFK's motorcade went by. He was discovered calmly drinking a coke at the second floor lunch room soda machine less than 90 seconds after the assassination by Dallas motorcycle patrolman Marion Baker. Not only was his WWII surplus Italian carbine "junk," with a defective firing pin, but the rifle's scope was also junk, and was misaligned.
Phil's note: Yes the paraffin test (and add the AEC Oak Ridge Lab confirmation in Gerald D. McKnight, Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why, 2005), seen in the lunchroom yes, standing on front doorway no, drinking a coke yes, defective firing pin yes, scope junk yes.
Doug Horne is a brave and courageous man and I have his five volumes stacked at arm's reach at all times when in the Situation Room deep beneath the earth, but I differ in these two points:
I mark a clear similarity between Sirhan and Chapman and Hinckley. Secondly, I do not place Oswald on the porch; that is Lovelady.
As for the Clifton tapes, bravo. Black cadillac hearse. Maxwell Taylor in repeated sidebars with Los Tres Stoogos. Si, por seguro.
