Haire, at least, is credible enough witness that a second detention occurred at the theatre. However, I can't quite wrap my mind around why an imposter who was cooperating with the police, to frame someone for murder, would put up a struggle with the police, after his mission was successfully completed.
By voice of reason, I mean to say that I am seemingly the only regular poster here that doesn't take the "Harvey and Lee" research, namely, a lifelong pattern of impersonation by a specific individual, as established fact. I am aware that there are specific acts of impersonation. It appears from the photographs, at least, that there are several individuals involved.
I am unwilling to abandon the search for an individual impersonator at or near the time of the assassination. I believe that the H&L elaborate scenario required for Oswald to obtain the Tippet murder weapon and ammunition from his "double" is unrealistic. I believe that Oswald was smart enough not to willingly do something so stupid to incriminate himself, and yet then be unwilling to take credit for the act later.
Dawn: I've read Harvey and Lee. I have the highest respect for John Armstrong. I just don't agree with his conclusions.
Well put Drew... thanks.
Until I did that 2 years of work with John, I too could not see the forest for the leaves... there were just too many of them.
There are hundreds of smoking guns in the H&L text... right down to El Toro and Santa Ana being expressed in the evidence as the same place, when they were most obviously not.
That people knew Oswald as he lived across from Stripling at 2220 Thomas is downright eerie... and that Marg was at 2220 Thomas on 11/22 even moreso.
Add the info from Kudlaty and that there were RECORDS of two Oswalds does not of course mean there were two... yet the drastic difference in the description of these boys in NYC between Summer 52 and Summer 54, the Youth House experinece not reflected on the permenant records, the wrong number of days, the smae perm form recopied at least 3 times... North Dakota, Myra Rouse and Palmer McBride....
As you know from the book, it goes on and on. The day of the assassination speculation is interested and supported by corroborating witnesses and reports... Kitrell, Allen Felde, Gorsky, these are all independent recollections of involvement with Oswald that directly conflict with the established and offered military records...
A serious issue John, Jim and I have discussed is How do we break thru to a wider audience if we can't convince you?
How many conflicts do there need to be before H&L is seriously considered along with body & film alteration which we know occurred?
I have everything of John's at my fingertips... what can I do to illustrate the existence of these two men simultaneously that would convince?
Look at the hair in the CAP photo and the one in Minsk with Marina.
I don't see how a man's shoulders and frame can be so different - while consistent with each different man as he ages - yet be the same man... do you?
