Jim Marrs & Mike Baker: PROVE THE GRASSY KNOLL SHOT! Travel Channel: America Declassified

[Tracy Riddle]

Ok, well (puts on devil's advocate hat)...First, I have a lot of problems with Hoffman's story. Second, when did Bowers ever say he saw rifles behind the fence?
And whatever Mercer saw, it seems the height of absurdity to have Jack Ruby parking on Elm Street and take out a rifle case in plain view. Those cars that Bowers saw circling in the parking lot behind the picket fence would be a much safer way of delivering weapons to the area.

All that matters is Bowers privately said he saw a rifle being thrown in to a trunk. That means he didn't tell all he knew, which seriously qualifies his chopped off finger tip. I believe Hoffman because he saw basically what Bowers saw. Bowers saw a CIA operation taking place. He had his finger cut off to stay quiet and was smart enough to know a CIA job when he saw one, so he shut-up. Except in private.

Ruby was part of a CIA operation and was in good with the Dallas Police. You are looking at it backwards. The reason Ruby felt so safe was because he knew he had total backing. They were running Dealey Plaza and still are as we speak.

Could you provide the source for Bowers saying he saw a rifle thrown into a trunk? Maybe I've read it before and just forgot. Anyway, that's not what Hoffman saw: he claims a man threw a rifle to another man who dismantled it near the electrical box (in full view of all the railroad workers) and then put it in a toolbox.

And Mercer's story grew and grew over the years. By 1983, she told Henry Hurt that the younger man carrying the rifle from the truck was Oswald. Funny how she didn't say that during the Garrison investigation (when the driver first became "Jack Ruby"). Her story circa 1968 is completely unbelievable - WHY would FBI agents show her pictures of Jack Ruby before he shot Oswald? Does that even pass the smell test?

We really have to cut out all this crap and stop wasting time with myths and fantasies, and stick to the hard facts that prove conspiracy. Everything else is a time-waster, and fodder for the lone-nutters to discredit.
