JFK Declassified: Tracking Oswald

Just looked in on one episode of this series. To anyone who has done even a little serious reading on JFK assassination, this show is lightweight at best. They got a few things right -- 1) Oswald as lone gunman 2) All shots from the rear 3) Gunshot acoustics not reliable because of echoes. But did Oswald have help escaping after the deed? If so, it was by the Keystone Cops. Get caught coming downstairs right after the shooting; get on a bus, goes wrong way, get off bus; take a cab to your rooming house, where lady sees you; walk down street in broad daylight while police are looking for you; duck into theater without paying. Some expert plan! Clearly he was winging his escape. If he had help escaping, how about - hey, meet us a block from the Depository building, hop in our car, we'll drive you out of town. How hard would that have been?

I do not particularly feel a trust in Bob Baer. He is like an ultimate opportunist cloaking that with his credientials. Yeah, he was at one time an honest and forthright agent of the CIA Does that mean many years later he is that same moral upright man? Hell no. He's Colonel Parker Bob Baer, meaning the only thing guiding his core being is raking in the most money. Don't watch this. It's total disinformation and Bob Baer "ain't I great" BS/

In the first episode Baer makes a big deal out of LBJ's 11/23/63 conversation with Hoover where he asks "Have you established any more about the visit to the Soviet embassy in Mexico in September?" Baer compares Oswald's visit to the Soviet Embassy to some modern day terrorist visiting ISIS headquarters. However on the LBJ Hoover transcript, Baer blacks out Hoover's response: "No, that's one angle that's very confusing, for this reason – we have up here the tape and the photograph of the man who was at the Soviet embassy, using Oswald's name. That picture and the tape do not correspond to this man's voice, nor to his appearance. In other words, it appears that there is a second person who was at the Soviet embassy down there." In other words, Baer knows that Oswald was impersonated in Mexico City, but hides that from the viewer. I guess it's true that no one ever really retires from the CIA.

The same formula as Hunting Hitler: Pick a sensational old event, launch an investigation into it, run around in circles mangling history, and then move on to something else.

They'll probably look for Big Foot in 2018.

Or Amelia Earhart.

The show is funny in an odd way.

HI, Has anyone read her book, Lee & Me? Apparently she was the girlfriend of Lee in 1963. I'm not sure of the validity of it but it is a pretty interesting read. Maybe there is info in it that wasn't researched that could help with timelines and names.
