The Lance rant has the trademark of an LN strawman because the premise makes no sense. "Knowing too much" in itself is not a problem if the witness is a loyal supporter of the official narrative and they will pose no threat. That's why listing the Paines as illegitimate survivors is straight-up nuts. As opposed to the Paines, Truly and Shelley went under the radar and thus didn't pose a threat either, so they are equally badly chosen. Had Lance been as smart as he likes to portray himself, he would have picked Buell Frazier as the ultimate illegitimate survivor, because he's now in his eighties and continues to promote his story, which opposes the "proven" narrative of Oswald "smuggling" the Carcano into the TSBD. We'll have to wait and see what Lance comes up with. Great to see you post!
I did list Buell Frazier. You unwittingly make my point for me: You really think Lee Bowers and these other characters posed a greater threat than Crazy Buell, who didn't toe the party line when he was 19 and has since morphed into a fuil-tilt wacko?
You seem to have a talent for missing the point. Lee Bowers "couldn't be trusted" and "posed a threat" and thus had to be whacked in a one-car accident on a remote highway? Really? William Pitzer had to be whacked in his Naval office but all the Parkland and Bethesda doctors chugged merrily on for decades, doing interviews and occasionally saying non-LN-type things? Really?
Ruth Paine at 80, 85, 90 and now 92 can be trusted? Really? Not only trusted not to let anything slip but to participate in mock trials, documentaries, TV interviews and whatnot. No wonder she was picked by the CIA for her dark conspiratorial role - the woman is a rock, I tell ya!
The whole point being, most of the Major Players in Conspiracy World lived long after the assassination and died distinctly Non-Mysterious Deaths, whereas the large majority of supposed Mysterious Deaths were bit players and tangential figures who would have had nothing to tell anyway. It simply Makes No Sense, except in Conspiracy World.
Did Gene Hackman and his wife die "mysterious deaths?" Well, yeah, I think so. In Conspiracy World, it would be "obvious" Betsy was injected with hantavirus because she knew about the nefarious shenanigans at the Santa Fe Library.
Read the news: Many, many people die deaths that leave you scratching your head and hoping you don't die the same way. Read about Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal. one of the pet Mysterious Deaths of UFO Conspiracy World that actually isn't mysterious at all. It's all, or least 99.8%, cherry-picked nonsense. For that matter, we can extend it right out to the JFKA. You really think sophisticated operators determined to whack JFK would pick a parade during the noon hour in a plaza filled with 300 or so potential witnesses? Rather Unlikely, it seems to
moi, but this is the scenario Conspiracy World is stuck with.
