Michael,
Yeah, you're right -- John Newman probably isn't even aware that The Hart Report and Heuer's Five Paths To Judgment exist and are available to the general public now.
(sarcasm)
Why don't you send him a letter and let him know, so he can set himself (and Peter Dale Scott) "straight" on Nosenko, et al.?
I didn’t say that. I didn’t imply it.
Someone put it better than I can ( I would credit that person but I think that might imbibe that person with the dirty slimy feeling that one gets when they engage with “Mud Wrassler Tommy”:
“Michael:
Very astute of you to draw our attention to Tommy’s proclivity for altering his posts, even months after the fact.
When he’s been bested by others, he wants to diminish the extent to which it is true. Even if it means altering the context of the original flow of posts. Gaslighting by any other name is still gaslighting.
There are many things you can call a man so sneaky, none of them good.
Then there is the matter of witless posts suggesting the original conspirators would never have let Oswald appear on film during the Big Event.
This presupposes that Tommy knows what the conspirators planned (um...how?), and that their plan would fall to pieces if Oswald were observed anywhere other than the 6th floor.
Not so. And it doesn’t take an Einstein to parse it out.
The fact that others destroyed evidence, censored, altered, and lied after the fact in service of a lone gunman conclusion doesn’t mean that is what the conspirators intended.
In fact, the original charge against Oswald by the Dallas DA stipulated that he killed John Kennedy in furtherance of an international communist conspiracy.
I posit the conspirators wished to create precisely that response.
So, prima facie evidence of other weapons, other possible shooters, rendezvous with “Comrade Kostin” (aka Kostikov), membership in the FPCC, communications with the various leftist parties (Communist, Socialist, etc.) were deliberately left behind and/or “floated” by the conspirators. So long as Oswald could by tied to the putative murder weapon, given his leftist background, it didn’t really matter who fired it. He was still part of a Commie conspiracy. In fact, it was through Oswald’s purported ownership of the weapon that the Commie conspiracy was demonstrably credible, albeit fictitious.
The evidence for this conspiracy wasn’t hidden by the conspirators, but was deep-sixed by the investigators whose own reputations would suffer if a conspiracy could be proved to the nation’s satisfaction. It is by tracing who crafted damning evidence against Oswald BEFORE the Big Event that we can identify those who maneuvered him into place on 11/22/63.
Did Tommy really not consider so obvious an hypothesis before creating that thread?
Apparently not. Which tells us something about Tommy’s intellectual rigor. As in, there’s little evidence for it.
Which makes it all the more puzzling why so many Forum members take the bait and keep engaging this barnacle in discussions he will only warp through subsequent editing anyway.
I just find it odd that a number of Forum barnacles all preach various hypothesis as though they were fact, and what they all share in common is diverting interest and discussion away from prime suspects in the CIA, and direct it instead toward General Walker, or pro-Castro Cubans, or Lyndon Johnson, or the KGB.
The fact that CIA pays people like Max Holland for precisely such diversionary codswallop doesn’t mean the Forum barnacles are likewise subsidized. But, paid or not, they are, like Max Holland, doing the Agency’s bidding.
Accessories After The Fact.
Ye shall know them by their fruits.”
