And what was the followup Q&A, Robert? And why don't you quote that?
And didn't you previously disparage this book and the author, Vincent Bugliosi? Why are you now quoting from a purported phone call the author says he made? Remember claiming you doubted Bugliosi's sanity, Robert? |

When evidence reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled, Brave, brave Sir Robert. Yes brave Sir Robert turned about, And gallantly he chickened out, Brave, brave Sir Robert. Bravely shooting both his feet, He beat a very hasty retreat, Brave, brave Sir Robert. |

Irrelevant. Either you consider the source reliable enough to cite, or you consider it to be lacking sanity.
So clarify which it is. Then explain why you skipped the follow up Q&A. (Perhaps as it totally undermined your interpretation of the quoted section? Oh no!) But your cowardly dodge of answering the questions has been noted. |

Robert will quote mine Bugliosi after calling him insane if it serves his purpose the same way he will quote mine the Warren Report after calling it a whitewash. He is not above rank hypocrisy of this sort. He has more or less given up on presenting any kind of argument and is falling back on one liners, non sequiturs and outright absurdities, his usual strategy to avoid giving real answers.
He can't even rally to the defense of his hero Lee Harvey Oswald except to tell the same lies about Oswald he's told before. I do note, however, he is no longer repeating his claim that Oswald arrived in the U.S.S.R. speaking fluent Russian that he learned at a U.S. government language school. Why is that, I wonder? |

Two conspiraciy theorists die and go to Heaven. As they stand before God, one of them asks, "Lord, please tell us, who killed JFK?" God looks at them sternly and says, "I want you to listen carefully. Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot John F. Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Book Depository building. Got it?" One of the conspiracists turns to the other and says, "This is even bigger than we thought." |

You mean up near his neck with his elbows splayed outward?
Like as seen here? http://www.assassinationresearch.com/zfilm/z239.jpg Thorburn position - it's caused by damage to the neck vertebra. John Lattimer found it first described in the medical literature during the Civil War and gave credit to the original doctor. I've seen NFL football players who are knocked down by a hard hit to the head (compressing the neck and spine) involuntarily assume the same position as JFK as they lay on the field. Wayne Chrebet for one. As he is temporarily paralyzed in his upper body all JFK can manage to do is point to the throat with his left index finger (most obvious in the z255-265 range). The paralysis was of course caused by the bullet transiting the neck and going on to strike Connally. As seen here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...5770464697597# http://www.assassinationresearch.com/zfilm/z259.jpg Hank |

I'm sure this has been discussed (I haven't had the time to dig through the entire thread as yet) But there was an excellent program on a few weeks ago that was about as convincing as it could get that LHO acted alone. The bullet hole through the top of the traffic light!!! It lined up with all of the other evidence and was more than to convince me that he acted alone. (any conspiracy couldn't have been much deeper than borrowing some ammo IMO)
yet people continue to claim otherwise... why? Is it the deep seated notion of having "secret ,inside information that nobody else knows? Does it give one a sense of superiority in an otherwise mundane existence? It's like the 9/11 truthers, My girlfriend at the time worked at the Pentagon and was driving into work late when she saw the plane. Yet a truther told me to my face she was lying. (even though she happened to call and tell me as much before she knew what was going on). I've known a few crackpots in my time, but I had no idea the rabbit hole was as deep and occupied as it is. |

The difference being there is material evidence to support the bullet passing through the traffic light.
There is no physical evidence of a large blow out on the back of the head. No there is no material evidence to support the claim. That drawing proves nothing other than the subject memories of somebody who has been shown to have made conflicting statements. There is absolutely no reason to assume a picture drawn from memory is more accurate than the photographs and film we have of the body, and the event itself. Got any material evidence yet Robert? Maybe you should drink some of your miracle water and wish real hard for some? |

Just the material observations of all the 30 plus first hand medical witnesses at Parkland corroborating a large blow-out in the back of the head pointing to a shot from the front, and a Warren Commission coverup. It certainly is amazing to me, having viewed many of these so-called investigative programs on the JFK assassination, that none of them dare to cover the Best Evidence, namely, the condition of the head wound -- the fatal shot. They all try to convince you that LHO was not just a shooter but the only shooter. Of course, they can't do that, so they don't even try. Not to ever even mention the Odio incident as well.

So I believe the actual answer was:
"No." Seeing as how anectdotes are not material evidence, and there has yet to be any physical or material evidence to prove the WC was a "whitewash". |

You've said this about 900 times already.
Quote:
Quote:
The overwhelming majority of programs about the JFK assassination on the cable channels like the History Channel and the Discovery Channel, etc. have been, if not overtly pro-conspiracy, at least conspiracy friendly. And you are of course wrong about the Odio incident. It was featured and even given credence in the PBS Frontline documentary Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald? You would have known this if you were paying attention to this thread because it was mentioned here. It sounds like you've got your panties in a wad because your outré conspiracy theories are not getting any airtime. Sorry to break it to you, Robert, but even the majority of conspiracy wackaloons won't touch your stuff with a dead porcupine. Even deluded kooktards have standards. |

"Material Evidence" of WC Whitewash Written with genuine print on Genuine Paper Material
(Fingerprints and DNA to follow) Katzenbach lays out the need for a public statement on the assassination. Katzenbach states that "The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial." Nov. 25, 1963 Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/inde...ren_Commission * * * Archive Photos Not of JFK's Brain, Concludes Aide to Review Board http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...fk/jfk1110.htm * * * Poll: Most Believe 'Cover-Up' of JFK Assassination Facts http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,102511,00.html Published June 18, 2004 * * * Warren Counsel Wesley Liebeler: “Well, you know if we do find out that this is a conspiracy you know that we have orders from Chief Justice Warren to cover this thing up.” http://www.ctka.net/pr996-odio.html |

So let's see:
A quote taken out of context as already discussed at length here. Not a piece of material evidence. Oh look, a story more about the opinion of somebody than the evidence itself. This boils down to an incorrect set of photographs of a brain damaged from the front being included in the files, and offers nothing to suggest that the rest of the material evidence is faked. More opinions. A lot of people believe in God and luck. They aren't real either. This is not evidence And we finish off with yet another quote taken out of context. Wow. I remain underwhelmed. And confused. Robert still has not prouced any material evidence, or shown he understands the concept at all. |

So unless a TV show promotes your flavor of conspiracy theory, it's bogus, right? It's not enough that most shows on the JFK assassination promote conspiracy theories, it must your theory.
Actually it's not even your theory. It's cribbed from Livingstone and Lifton which is why you always capitalize Best Evidence, the title of Lifton's book. And here's why your "Best Evidence" has not been on TV: because there are degrees of nuttiness that even the pandering to the lowest common denominator TV networks won't touch. (Which I said already in the post you quoted but which you typically didn't comprehend.) |

How can the claims of a headwound be the best evidence? The Body istself is best evidence. The rifle, fingerprints, shell casings, bullets and bullet holes are the best evidence. The subjective memories of what somebody thought they saw is not in any way the best evidence.
If this was true, then the best evidence we would have would suggest that despite the Statue of Liberty being there, a magician made it vanish. That is what a lot of people saw. |

I'm going to agree with Robert here. Witness statements are the best material evidence so we'll have to abide by the millions of people who saw the Zapruder film and the massive head wound in the right front of JFK's head and the fact that Oswald is the lone shooter. Robert got that one right. Millions of witnesses can't be wrong.
Well done, Robert. Bang! |

Not this nonsense again.
Here's Katzenbach's memo. Please read the first line, if you do nothing else: http://history-matters.com/archive/j...0135_0002a.htm Here's Katzenbach's testimony to the HSCA (House Select Committee on Assassinations): http://www.history-matters.com/archi...1_5_Katzen.pdf Basically, what you are doing (and the critics you quote are doing) is quote mining, taking statements out of context and putting a nefarious, sinister conspiracy spin on those statements. The above proves you are wrong. Hank |

No, but he did post that cartoon picture of the alleged gaping exit wound on the back of JFK's head again. He flashes that drawing around like a kid in a schoolyard with a copy of Penthouse filched from the bottom of his dad's underwear drawer.
He probably has a copy of it in his wallet and bores passengers on the city bus with it while he lectures them about the 30 (or 40, take your pick) "unimpeachable" Parkland witnesses while waving it around and then can't understand why nobody wants to sit next to him. Robert has about five flashcards and we've seen them a hundred times each as if sheer repetition makes them true. |

The Warren Commission Whitewash that you dishonestly quote minded to "prove" your bogus contention that your hero Lee Harvey Oswald went to a U.S. government language school to learn Russian? That Warren Commission Whitewash?
Care for me to pull up some DNA and fingerprints on that one, Robert? |
