I have not started a new thread on this forum since I read this.:
Tom, I think everyone's getting a little tired of you telling other members what they can and can't post. Ever thought of starting your own forum, a forum where YOU make the rules..because you don't make them here.
I am starting this thread because I have not given up on the hope that this recent rebuild of this forum can develop
into a useful resource.
Are forum posters for the most part reacting reasonably to provable facts, or for the most part,
seemingly reacting to something else?I still hold out a diminishing expectation that this place can be something better than currently presented to readers.
There are three prominent influences here, and I do not regard presentation and discussion of practical, (IOW, facts
likely to become undisputable or to resolve any issue) provable details as a prominent focus of forum posters.
LNs exhibit an unbelievable level of incuriousity. CTs do not impose upon themselves the very deficiencies they identify
and criticize the DPD, FBI, WC, and LNs for.... accuracy, transparency, sincerity, open mindedness, pursuit of truth wherever
such pursuit leads. The third prominent influence in this forum is ardent focus and emphasis on the obviously impractical.
It is obvious to me it is pointless to rewrite, impeach, reverse the 55 year old testimony of literally all witnesses in the
record for the purpose of attempting to establish consensus of unprovable observation of who was or wasn't present on
TSBD's entrance way.
Instead of attempting reinvention of the wheel or dismissing every curiousity as irrelevant or engaging in hypocritical
double standard with regard to commitment to actual pursuit of truth, is there an actual appetite here for focus on
what we know, and what it means?
One example is Sam Mike Newman? Is he important? Is his name even recognized? The record indicates he owned
544 Camp Street in NOLA in 1963 and that he had a good deal to say....superficially.... about the cast of characters
Jim Garrison was investigating.

region as the parents of John Shaheen? Shaheen happened to be extremely close to William Casey, Richard Nixon,
and the employer of defector Robert Webster, H James Rand of Rand Development Corp.
