I know, right? The most convoluted plot possible, with secret universities, and trainings, and overseas trips, and rendezvous too numerous to track, along with planted evidence, and faked photos, and the Professor and Maryanne.

Or...

How about just spike the prez's daily cocktail o' pills, or have a couple roughnecks push him over the railing of the Truman Balcony? Not assassinatey enough?

You forgot having the 'real' shooter fire from a completely different direction to the one where your 'patsy' is supposedly shooting from thus requiring yet another layer of complication and cover up.

I've come to the conclusion that where CT's are concerned, "The More, The Merrier."

Indeed, the point of most conspiracy theories is to allow the theorist to "uncover" some nefarious plot and thereby either expose the evil Powers That Be or reinforce a belief in his own importance and socio-political value. Therefore the bigger the "discovery," the better.

I strongly suspect that CT'ers of this type are not married.

Try keeping a surprise birthday party secret from the wife, and then explain to me how well multi-person conspricacy theories work in the real world.

Ironically, the converse is much easier, which leads one to wonder if the most effective anti-conspiracy device in the world is a woman... ;)
 
When this films opens a couple of weeks,the JFK Kooks will go ballistic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkland_(film)

That it is based on Buglosi's "Four Days In November" (his abridgement of "Reclaiming History",covers the same material but with less detail)indicates they are not going for a conspriacy angle, but that will not keep the kooks from going crazy. In fact, they will have an epic hissy fit over the fact it is based on Bugliosi's work since he has become their Great Satan since "Reclaiming History" came out.

You surrender your credibility with that one-line denial answer. When interviewed some of Oswald's fellow marines said he was the only one of them allowed across the bridge into the forbidden sector of Atsugi where KGB was using prostitutes to extract information from US soldiers. He was clearly an intel op.

Oswald also frequented the KGB bar "Queen Bee" in Tokyo and brought one of the hostesses back with him to Atsugi. His fellow marines said this pairing was unusual for the 18 year old marine on marine pay.

You're obviously just pulling that out of your "hat".


I'd take a war zone medical examiner's word over a nervy internet denier's.

Captain Scott admitted it was CIA's plastique.

Nonsense. The primary detractors of Garrison were other conspiracy theorists who flocked to his side and then became disillusioned when they realized he was a nut. If that wasn't enough then the pathetic attempt to convict Shaw showed the world that the Emperor had no clothes.

Read James DiEugenio's 'Destiny Betrayed'. It uses ARRB records to exonerate Garrison.

I missed that first time through - you are seriously citing the voter registration story as fact?

A cop went and asked Shaw for his driver's license and saw "Clay Shaw" on it. That cop was later offered a promotion in order to shut-up. He told the government agent offering him that promotion to leave town quickly or he would be torn a new one.


You're not seriously denying it are you? The town councilman sat and spoke with Oswald who told him "I am Lee Harvey Oswald".


Not good enough for you?

Take whoever's word you choose - it's not going to change the facts, and FTR, who's your Cpt. Scott?

Better, your "punches" just don't have that knoeckout factor you assert.

My rope-a-dope is roping.

Looks like the score so far is 125-2, you're losing on points.

Garrison's nuttiness extends to far beyond the JFK matter, hence can't be undone by cherry-picking ARRB materials. Sure, some die-hard conspiracy theorists will naturally try to rehabilitate Garrison, since they based a lot on him, but that doesn't really alter the facts.

You seem to steep yourself in the nuttiest of all available conspiracy materials and regurgitate their ramblings as if they were incontrovertible fact.
