Whose Target was General Edwin Walker?

[Jon Banks]

Regarding the last sentence, where would Lane fall?

Lane's follow-up to "Rush to Judgment" was the better-written and more-detailed "Citizen's Dissent" which indicted much of the mass-media and peer-reviewed journals. Shame Lane's 1968 book didn't get the attention that RtJ got, but there was a lot going on during that god-awful year 50 years ago, and a WCR critic's complain-list didn't merit much concern.

Even when the mass-media, as Dell did with Weisberg, gets onboard, it soon falls apart because of the critic's paranoia. Lifton had his "Best Evidence" wound-alteration theory completed and wouldn't pass it on to the HSCA to investigate when he had the chance. Whether he did it because he didn't trust them (his claim) or he wanted to increase his book sales or whatever, we'll never know for sure. But this is an example of a critic himself manipulating events and later claiming the "officials" had no interest.

I personally prefer to read books of the ?Skeptics? rather than ?Conspiracy Theorists?. It?s better to say ?I don?t know who did it? than to promote theories that easily fall apart.

I think there are lots of valid criticisms of the Warren Report which were overlooked by the MSM which for the most part has always endorsed the same narrative...

  The biggest rightwing CT?er is now Donald Trump.

Mainstream/Establishment Liberals who work for CBS, the NY Times and other traditional Media have always supported and defended the Lone Assassin narrative.

Trump believes that Oswald was the killer [as far as I know]. His view on conspiracy? Not sure

[Jon Banks]

How 'bout you take some of the unbridled skepticism you have for the MSM and WCR, and apply it to the JFK CTs.

Did you miss the part where I said I prefer not to read Conspiracy Theory books?

[Jon Banks]

Seems you've read quite a few. Would seem it's LN books and websites you're avoiding.

I love the John McAdams site and I?ve read portions of Reclaiming History but not the entire book

Gen. Walker would have been shot and killed if they wanted him dead . They ( whoever they are or were ) just used the missing kill shot on Walker to tie LHO into the mix early on before they were to Patsy -up LHO to take the fall . LHO was calm during his last hours because he knew he was innocent before Ruby was told to turn out the lights on Oswald and of course make it official from J. Edgar Hoover that this Lone Nut ,  A Russian sympathizer was to blame for killing JFK and JD Tippit ! Case closed ! Not so fast there J. Edgar . Humes and Ford seem to have moved some wounds around that makes this closed case , OPEN back up ! Surely , 26 volumes of Horse sheet will help make up the minds of so many non-believers and really point the finger at LHO ! Our own rogues ! 9/11 !!!!!

So John believes Marina had total recall here but otherwise claims her memory is faulty.

Wrong.  I don't trust anything Marina says to be reliable.  You on the other hand believe her selectively when it suits your conclusion.

[John Iacoletti]

That couldn't possibly be a simple error by a sleepy, sloppy,  cop typing the report, and calling a METAL jacket a steel jacket,.... could it?

That's always the go-to excuse for inconvenient evidence -- they were mistaken.
