New Article by Steve Barber on the Dictabelt Tape

[Richard Rubio]

Colin Crow snapped at me for no reason and insulted me, rude response. All he/she offers are obscure late night comedians. I'd not worry about this.  And maybe some sort of software that works on photos.

  The stuff about a shot coming from the picket fence is 1 thing, but I also find the dicta belt interesting due to the Time Line also applied to the DPD Cop/"open mic".

If I may, I refer all to this article published on Dale Myers' website, I put Don Thomas' theory to rest, and not only did Dale publish this article, Vincent Bugliosi published a piece I submitted to him (and broke the story) in Reclaiming History in 2007, in the End Notes, which are a part of the CD-Rom included in the book. The Chapter titled "Other Investigations" under "Acoustics".  Scroll up to find the beginning of the acoustics chapter to read(even though the entire section on the acoustics is not available within this link to Google Books) I am providing links to both the book and my piece.   I clearly point out that Thomas' claim that there is a segment of "crosstalk" just 3 seconds before the first BBN "gunshot" is false, and a desperate attempt to keep the acoustics experts' findings alive fails largely.
I also put the theory of there having been a "carillon bell" recorded on the Dictabelt recording to rest.

This appears to be the first proper mention of dictabelt stuff.

Well, it appears no CT is impressed with the Dictabelt acoustic evidence either. At least no one has made any posts claiming the acoustic evidence is anything but a ?dead horse?. Perhaps no CT wishes to debate Steve Barber on the issue.

The contrarian/CTer mind is a bizarre thing to behold.  They ask for the "evidence" but when given evidence they dismiss it as the product of bias while providing no substantive rebuttal.   An endless circle of lunacy.

 Slowly-ever so slowly--people are discovering the truth in what you say, Richard.  When people start claiming this or that police officer isn't really a police officer, and that J.D. Tippit was a stand infor President Kennedy, that Jackie Kennedy, Bill Greer, or John Connally shot JFK, and so on, you know that insanity has reared its hideous head regarding this topic.  It's no wonder people like Vincent Bugliosi referred to conspiracy buffs as "Kooks".  Most of the people around the world caliming conspiracy have never read the Warren Report or the 26 volumes of evidence, yet they think they know everything they know based on this or that book, movie, video, etc.  It doesn't work that way, and they know it.

It's clear that some folks want or even need there to be a conspiracy.  That is as fascinating as the case itself.  Is it just more interesting to believe in a world with JFK conspirators, ghosts and UFOs than not?  Are some folks frightened to accept that many important events are just random acts beyond the control of even the most powerful people?  They need to believe someone is always in behind these events rather than accepting powerlessness.  Some here are plainly attention seekers who garner attention by taking positions contrary to the facts.  Ironically, not much different from Oswald himself.  I do wonder how many CTers are true believers and how many would be as surprised as anyone if it turned out that their theories had any validity.

How many Christians Muslims Jews etc say they believe in a god? How many actually  do?
How many say they are CTers? How many actually are.
Or, worse, what about the LNers?

Ditto for atheists.
Atheists believe Hickey fired the headshot. About 27% of members a while back i did read. All have left now (dont blame them), xept for lil ol me.

A university should do a poll/questionaire about this stuff.
And we need some more words -- insanity duznt do the trick no more.
