On The Trail Of Delusion

[Fred Litwin]

Dr. Cyril Wecht Gets One Right
Cyril Wecht discusses the autopsy of David Ferrie in his new book, and concludes that Ferrie died of natural causes. He did not commit suicide. He says he told that to Jim Garrison, but Garrison ignored his comments.

Dr. Wecht is right about many things JFK research related.

Straight-shooter and a classy guy.

How hard is it to answer a simple question?

So, I ask Richard Smith a simple question and he writes a super long winded post still evading what I asked him.

Richard Smith claimed that Oswald "never had a sense of humor".

I simply asked Richard how would he know that since he never met the man.

He still refuses to answer that question and can only respond with personal insults and false accusations as usual. 

I still don't see anybody agreeing with him.

Question for Richard Smith: How do you know Lee Harvey Oswald never had a sense of humor when you never knew the man personally?   

Imagine Rick of all people complaining about "long winded" posts!  HA HA HA.  The absolute king of long, rambling endless rants thousands of words long.  I've explained this you.  Multiple times now. Thousands of books and millions of pages written about Oswald.  No such examples.  And you have provided none.  Zero.  Got it?  Now how about you answer the very simple question that I posed to you?  What point are you trying to make in this context?  Are you suggesting that Oswald wrote "Hunter of Fascists.  HA HA HA" on the BY photo because he had a secret sense of humor?

Amazing. "Richard" cites books filled with the opinions of others and most likely written by LNs and concludes that Oswald had no sense of humor, simply because he could not find an example in a book. How shallow superficial can you be?

Are you suggesting that Oswald wrote "Hunter of Fascists.  HA HA HA" on the BY photo because he had a secret sense of humor?

The answer to that loaded question would of course be no, because it clearly wasn't the handwriting that some people claim was Oswald's


Btw Richard, are you still foolishly trying to suggest that Marina wrote that text, now that you have seen that she denied it herself in her HSCA deposition on September 20, 1977

Q. Did you ever write anything on the back of either the original or a copy of one of these photographs?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever write a note or anything to George de Mohrenschildt on the back of the original or a copy?
A. No.
Q. Are you sure of that?
A. Yes.

You did see that, didn't you? Of course you did... better not acknowledge it or even respond to it, because that way I can use the same bogus claim again in the future, right?

Fred, in one of your other postings ( Link ) about the Wecht book, you ask:

    "I would very much like to see his trajectory diagram to show how the
     bullet missed Connally but hit the windshield. And where does he think
     that bullet came from? Of course, he presents no such diagram."

I don't know if this is what persuaded Wecht, but Mark Fuhrman--in his 2006 book "A Simple Act of Murder"--proposed something similar:

And Richard still hasn't answered the question.    

I don't have to provide anything. You're the one who made the claim that Oswald "never had a sense of humor".

The burden of proof is on YOU to prove that. And you are doing everything possible to evade the question. 

Question again for Richard: How do you know Lee Harvey Oswald never had a sense of humor when you never knew the man personally?

Seriously? After 58 years an argument ensues over whether Oswald had a sense of humor? Seriously?

There's no need for an argument. Richard Smith made an absolute statement and I simply asked him a question. He turned it into an argument in order to evade the question.
