November 22, 1963, the day President Kennedy was slain, was bright
and sunny in Dallas. Why, then, was there a young man with an open
umbrella on Elm Street, less than 30 feet from the President's car
as it slowly passed by? Presented below is an answer to this
puzzle by a former consultant to the House Select Committee on
Assassinations.


THE UMBRELLA SYSTEM: PRELUDE TO AN ASSASSINATION
by Richard E. Sprague and Robert Cutler


INTRODUCTION:


To the skeptic who refuses to accept the idea that the Central
Intelligence Agency was involved in the assassination of John
Kennedy, nothing could be more convincing than to demonstrate how
one of the CIA's secret poison and weapon systems was used in the
assassination. Such a claim would have been scoffed at by
everyone, but the weapons system itself was made public by Mr.
William Colby, CIA director; Mr. Richard Helms, former CIA
director; and Mr. Charles Senseney, a contract weapons designer
for the CIA in testimony before the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence (the Church Committee) in September 1975.


The system is based on launching devices of various types, used
to launch a self-propelled, rocket-like dart, or flechette. The
flechette can carry either a paralyzing or fatal poison.
The flechette itself is very simple. It is about the same size
and looks like the tip of a large chicken feather. It is plastic
and has tiny tail fins. Many varieties were developed for
different uses. The great advantage of this weapon is that it is
recoilless, almost silent, and the flechette travels at a high
velocity which increases after launch. The flechettes can be fired
singly or in high-impact clusters.


It is propelled to its target by a solid-state fuel, ignited
electronically at the launcher. It strikes its target, animal or
human, dissolves completely in the body leaving no observable
trace, and totally paralyzes its victim within two seconds.
The launching devices developed by Mr. Charles Senseney at Fort
Detrick, Maryland for the CIA included a cane, a fountain pen, soda
straws, and an umbrella.


The umbrella was used to shoot President Kennedy.
The flechette struck JFK in the throat, causing a small entrance
wound, but leaving no other trace. The missile was about 5
millimeters in diameter, and the wound was 4 millimeters. The size
of the wound as compared to the size of the flechette is consistent
with other findings of this nature. This particular wound,
officially called an exit wound by the Warren Commission, puzzled
medical examiners and critics of the Warren Commission alike. The
critics charged that had the throat wound been an exit wound, it
could not have been so small.


JFK was paralyzed by poison contained in the flechette in less
than two seconds--so paralyzed that the first rifle bullet that hit
him did not knock him down, but left him in a nearly upright
position. A second volley of shots fired at JFK a few seconds
later struck a stationary, visible target. The paralyzing
flechette shot was fired by a man holding the umbrella launcher.
He was in close proximity to an accomplice. Using a radio
transmitter, the accomplice signaled the riflemen through each of
their respective radiomen in the Dal Tex building, the western end
of the Texas School Book Depository building, and on the grassy
knoll.


An exquisitely timed intelligence murder was performed. The
paralytic poison allowed two volleys of rifle shots to be fired
into JFK. He had become a sitting duck.


In what follows, the basic evidence for this sophisticated
murder technique and weapon system will be presented. Much of the
evidence, in the form of photographs, has been under the noses of
assassination researchers for many years. The testimony given by
Colby, Helms, and Senseney opened the minds of a small group of
researchers, who looked at the photographic, medical, and
ballistics evidence in a new way.

The coauthors of this article and researcher Christopher
Sharrett have now been able to clearly show that JFK's
assassination had to have been a carefully planned, well-executed
intelligence operation, using CIA weapons and techniques.

And I clicked on this thread thinking you finally had something to contribute.

Once again this does not constitute anything approaching proof.

I'll ask you the same questions again. How many people do you appoximate to be part of this conspiracy? What is their motivation for keeping quiet?

just noticed this is from 1978. You're so invested in this, that you scour the web looking for anything to back up your ideas, even if it is as flimsy as this article or the video from your last post. this is your religion.

Are you sure it wasn't just a Korean ajumma trying to keep her skin from turning the least bit brown?

So overall how many people are in this conspiracy? A rough figure is ok.

After that we can go through your pieces of evidence one by one. It seems like a logical starting point to me, so I can judge the plausibility of such a conspiracy.

The 'truth' comes out when you have evidence. Unfortunately humans believe in conspiracies because we inherintly believe in things we cannot prove because we wish them to be true.

Of course the existence of God cannot be proven, nor santa Claus, nor any grand conspircay regarding JFK's death. We are believers, storytellers. Our brains are wired to make connections, to assign cause and effect to random events. It kills us to think that a man may die or an atrocity commited with without a grand plan, a reason. Of course in real life this hapens all the time.

At least kids come to realise there is not a Santa Claus. If only adults could come to a more sane conclusion about their irrational beliefs.
