False Witness

[Charles Collins]

It is fairly obvious that Garrison suffered from mental illness.  He paranoid and delusional.  He was also a narcissist with a desire for attention.  The real irony with Garrison is that he engaged in all the misconduct that CTers allege that the WC did in confirming Oswald's guilt.  He coerced witnesses, lied, knowingly used perjured testimony, and even facilitated such when it suited his purposes.  A complete and disgraceful abuse of power.  Even many CTers have come to recognize the harm he has done to their cause with his nonsense which is saying a great deal given how far out many such individuals are in their own beliefs.

More than fairly obvious. The military records show that he was definitely diagnosed as having mental problems.

Yes, but as Lambert pointed out he had a lot of people going along with him. It wasn't just him.

If you read the notes/accounts of the conferences he had with his assistants/staff, it's bizarro land. He makes these outrageous claims - based on the latest "witness" he met or heard from - and everyone else in the room just goes along. Even though the latest claim is completely at odds with what he claimed the month before. A few of his people got fed up and left; but most of them just merrily went along.

As a side note: I know we don't want to get into politics here but Donald Trump sounds a lot like Garrison. Sorry to the Trump supporters but that's how I see it.

Lambert’s book indicates to me that Sciambra was more than just going along. In my opinion, he might have even been as guilty of misconduct as Garrison.

I stay away from politics discussions. However, I come from a part of the country where Trump is a hero and can do no wrong. So it all depends on who’s propaganda you pay attention to...

Clay Shaw was not found to be involved in a conspiracy... therefore there was no conspiracy. What an excellent analogy.

Fred Litwin's upcoming Garrison book should be a real hum-dinger.  He's been sharing some outstanding document finds on Facecrook.  Looking forward to his findings.
