    I fully accept he may indeed have been the intended assassin and we will never know his reasons. But when you look at Frame 313 of the Zapruder film and the way Kennedy's head literally explodes, I see no way the type of bullet Oswald was using in his rifle could have had that result. It would have had to have been a relatively clean in and out shot. Whether it came from a second rifle in the Secret Service car or as others believe from the grassy knoll, I also have no clear idea. But I have yet to see a shred of credible evidence that the shot that shattered Kennedy's skull came from Oswald's rifle.

    Here is a video of the bullets used in the assassination of JFK.

    Perfectly fair point and one that the Warren Commission came to. But how do you explain the two different types of bullet, given that it has been proven the third shot which exploded Kennedy's head was different to that of the second and there was no evidence of Oswald having two types of bullet. Indeed, why would he bother to have two types?

    I had hoped that this topic might be of interest to the members of the Board who live in the USA.

    Some years ago I read a book, Case Closed, by Gerald Posner, which carefully examined the evidence and concluded that Oswald was the assassin and acted alone.  It convinced me.

    There's an awful lot to do in Thailand besides drinking, during the 16 hours or so I'm awake every day.  

    Then, regarding holidays, we have 3 choices:

    1. Go to Thailand and adapt to what is available
    2. Go somewhere else
    3. Stay at home

     

    Now as for the "somewhere else" option, since the most frequently raised objection to Thailand is bar closures, where else can we go that has open gogo bars at present, complete with cute lads that I'd actually consider offing ?     I can't think of anywhere.   

     

    Phnom Penh i

    It has been reported that Phnom Penh , Cambodia, is active with bars open and lads available.

    I'd be wanting an insurance policy that clearly states it provides covid cover AND >>$100,000 on the same page so that can be attached to the Thai Pass application.

    So the first thing I do is to check the example documents. 

    Although I have insurance, I checked Insubuy in case it's good for a future trip.   I didn't find anything suitable, although the website did stop co-operating before I finished.

     

    A friend, whom I recommended this site, said it was easy to use and provided all the info necessary including Covid coverage. The actual amount of the health insurance was reduced from 100,000 to $50,000 by Thai authorities.  But you can choose other higher amounts if desired. He received his Thai Pass in two days.

    The only thing in question is how long is the insurance required?  This is especially important for those on a retirement extension which could expire in a month  or up to a year. Some people think one month is ok while others think it must extend until the time the retirement extension ends. 

  5. After having a successful login as reported above, I was stymied once again by the latest improvements!

    Meaning I could not log in and was unable to reset my password since I have no idea just what email I originally used when setting up my login name and password.

    So, I reinvented myself as kokopelli 2.  And now am awaiting an approval by the moderator .

    And, when I did use the new kokopelli 2, I had to confirm an email  which was sent to me by Gayguides. That email ended up in my "virus blocker" box with a dire warning not to open. But I did open and followed the instructions and here I am. Or at least I think I am.
