Free the films!

For quite some time, those of us at ROKC (Reopen Kennedy Case organization) have been trying to get access to the original or first generation copies of the Darnell and Wiegman films so that high resolution digital scans could be performed. This extra clarity could help positively identify Prayer Man, who we believe to be Lee Oswald.

You would think such a simple request for the purposes of identification—not to mention preservation of important historical artifacts—would be granted. But we've been stonewalled and given the run around.

2017 is an important year for JFK researchers. In October, the remaining JFK files that have been hidden from public view since 1963 are scheduled to be released. (Whether they all are or not remains to be seen; I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them stay in "lock down," with some "National Security blah blah blah" reason given.)    

Because of the significance of 2017, Greg R. Parker, leader of ROKC, has written a letter to NBC requesting they grant access to the Darnell and Wiegman film to allow for professional scanning:

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you wish. If enough people demand NBC grant Greg's reasonable request, they just may approve it.

Prayer Man in the news

JFK Lancer–Mary Ferrell 2016 New Frontier Award

More recently, Bart Kamp was a winner of the prestigious 2016 New Frontier Award presented by JFK Lancer–Mary Ferrell organization for "reexamining the official story of the encounter with Lee Oswald Texas School Book Depository building second floor has brought forward a broad array of new data, including documents and statements of the participants and a variety of TSBD witnesses."

Bart continues researching Prayer Man and builds upon what is covered in my book. Links to his exciting and groundbreaking work are provided on the left.

Prayer Man is Oswald and not a woman

Life observation: Truth gets attacked. It just does.

I don't know why this is. I really don't. The only rational way for me to explain it is that there is evil in the world and evil hates the truth. It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Those who have read Prayer Man see the solid case put forth that Oswald was out in front when the assassination took place. Just like he said he was. You may not agree with my conclusions, but I submit the facts for Oswald being down in front are stronger than for any other scenario, certainly the official Warren Commission version.

The notion of Prayer Man (i.e. Oswald on the first floor of the TSBD as the motorcade passed by) is routinely attacked by others. One such vociferous attacker has the surname Doyle. At the Reopen Kennedy Case (ROKC) website, we often lampoon such attackers who offer nothing but hate and vitriol. 

This funny video lampoons Doyle and people like him. It contains some inside jokes and information that members and regular readers of ROKC will appreciate. Enjoy!

Off like a dirty shirt

Commission Exhibit (CE) 150 is the well-known brown shirt Oswald was arrested in (below left). CE 151 (below right) was a light-brown shirt of Oswald's. CE-151 is not included in a November 27, 1963 Secret Service list of Oswald's clean clothes taken from his N. Beckley rooming house (it doesn't look like a freshly laundered shirt in the photo).

According to Will Fritz's transcription of FBI Agent Bookhout's interrogation notes, Oswald said he "changed shirts" back at his rooming hours and he described the shirt as "reddish." CE 151 was among the non-clean clothes found at Oswald's rooming house.

Sean Murphy believes—and I agree—that the disheveled looking "light brown" long sleeve shirt itemized as CE 151 is the "reddish" shirt that Oswald wore to work the day of the assassination. And we submit that it's the very shirt that we see Prayer Man wearing.

First statements

Perhaps the reason Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry had second thoughts about Oswald's guilt was that he recalled some of his first statements he made to press. On the evening of November 22, 1963, Curry was admitting candidly that Oswald had been stopped leaving the building immediately after the assassination. These were not some of those early false rumors, but early true facts:

One flew over the sniper's nest

It's hard to be in the Sixth Floor "sniper's nest" when you're on the First Floor.

Second thoughts

Years after the assassination, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry had second thoughts about Oswald's guilt. When Curry says things like "We don't have any proof he fired the rifle," and "No one has been able to positively put him in that building with a gun in his hand," well, that should tell anyone that the case against Oswald is NOT closed and FAR from "cinched."

Curry is correct: "The evidence must be allowed to speak for itself and allow the reader to make up his own mind." Prayer Man presents solid evidence that speaks for itself and should give anyone "second thoughts" about the case.
