Something New Maybe

Who Knows?Dealey Plaza Grassy Knoll original picket fence sections - $10000 (Georgetown, Texas)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date: 2010-03-24, 11:10AM CDTReply to: sale-cdxkt-1659061099@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Listed are 2 original Dealey Plaza grassy knoll ,picket fence sections, the first section measures 59" x 3", the second section measures 43 1/2" x 3". They were obtained in Dallas, Texas in May 1990. To our amazement, this sectioned white picket fence from Dealey Plaza, though a critical component in endless conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination, was never dismantled and replaced until January 11, 2000 -- meaning that for over 45 years it remained in place and intact, looming over the infamous grassy knoll as it did on November 22, 1963 when America lost its innocence and the world changed forever. For all that time, it stood as a reminder of one of the darkest days in history, when a young and idealistic president's life was snuffed out by an assassin's bullet. While it seems only logical that such a landmark would have been transported to the Smithsonian, perhaps its power to spark debate about the "official" government explanation of the assassination rendered it unfit for such commemoration. Rather, the powers that be -- still holding to the Warren Report's sole gunman conclusion -- have preferred to let the fence simply rot away. And it nearly did. When finally taken down, a tour guide in Dealey Plaza asked an employee of J&M Fence Company, which had begun dismantling it, what he was going to do with the the fence. He responded that he was going to throw it in a dump. The tour guide asked if he could have it instead, and became the owner of a piece of Americana like no other, able to salvage over 93% of the lumber. While reviving the tragedy, the fence is also unquestionably a monument. For JFK conspiracy buffs, it also offers a chance to find clues about the still unexplained events in Dallas that dark day. While the official story is that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shot from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, polls show that up to 90 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy. If so, the fence would have provided a natural shield and a perfect angle for shooting, on an incline a mere hundred feet or so from the car. Also remember that a crowd of people ran up the grassy knoll instinctively believing the shots came from behind the fence; some swore they saw a "puff of smoke" rising from it. There is also the Zapruder film showing JFK's head jerking "back and to the left" and ballistic and acoustic analyses of police tapes that led the House Select Committee to conclude there was a 96 percent probability of a second gunman. Moreover, digitalized photographic study has unearthed the wraithlike figure of a man possibly clad in a police uniform (aka "Badgeman") firing a rifle. There was eyewitness testimony about men who passed themselves off as CIA agents refusing to allow anyone access to the railroad yard area behind the fence before the shooting. A man named Ed Hoffman, ignored by the Commission, was quoted in an article included with the extensive documentation and LOAs accompanying the fence that he actually saw a man assemble a rifle from pieces in a brown paper bag and rest the gun on the pickets of the fence, then after shooting toss it to another man and run off. But what of the fence itself? Are there any clues to be gleaned from it? We can't answer that, of course, but perhaps someone can through a meticulous examination. Own a piece of Historical Americana no other sections exists in the world, since it was dismantled in 2000, and these are the only pair that exists. Please contact me by craigslist email.

I wonder how you can obtain something in 1990 that wasn't replaced until 2000?

Western Actor Ben Johnson told my wife Martha,"You can do anything in the movies"

Dealey Joe,Yeah Ben would know. He was one of my favorites growing up. He got his start as stunt man and body double in westerns. I think it was John Ford that noticed he was a better actor then those he was doubling.Dealey Joe wrote:Western Actor Ben Johnson told my wife Martha,"You can do anything in the movies"
