The Book Depository as a Potemkin Village

Problem? Me? I really don't have one...I'm just finding it hilarious watching you get all angry and frustrated over someone else's post. LOL
John, I don't need you to point out anything to me. Mind your business, keep your opinions about my post's to yourself and move on. You're dismissed. As the good book says; GO FOURTH AND MULTIPLY! 

As the good book says; GO FOURTH AND MULTIPLY!

And what if somebody wants to go third? Or second?

My apologies for no direct responses; my internet server is out again, 2nd time in 2 weeks, and I only get 1/2 hour at the local library. But I thought I'd share a background story about the 2020 thesis.

I committed to putting a JFK book together in 2003 and the next year took a camping vacation at my alma mater UMaine, hoping to think like I did 30 years previously as a young idealistic philosophy major searching for eternal truths. They had a copy of the Warren Volumes and I read Jack Dougherty's testimony for the 1st time. Those 5 pages took over an hour, as I tried to read as though it were a stageplay, imagining everyone's faces and reactions. I had a EUREKA moment and realized that he'd taken down the strangers from the 6th floor. And my years of TSBD work since have been cobbling around that fundamental insight.

It's really since 2009 with my Elevator Escape essay that I've put together a formalized thesis about TSBD worker complicity. Imperfectly. But I've honed that thesis into court-presentable evidence now in 2020. That's how truth in criminology finally emerges- a flash of insight, a trickle of possibilities, then a burst of irrefutable conclusions.

And anyone who wants to counter my 2020 thesis has to examine it and provide arguments to the contrary. It's a cop-out to pretend this thesis is about something that's not presented in the thesis, like JFK & UFOs. Kind of like ridiculing me because I believe Brian Jones was murdered, or because I'm ignored by Deep Politics and C.A.P.A. and hated by the Education Forum and (References & links to websites which contain pornographic images and/or abusive content directed at members of this Forum is strictly prohibited ).

One hope is that the reader of The Book Depository as a Potemkin Village looks at the TSBD Company having moved into Dealey Plaza for the express reason of killing President Kennedy. And I had a purpose for introducing the idea that the TSBD had served as a covert supplier for CIA activities, since that hypothesis had been introduced in the 90s.

Hopefully my internet will return soon but here in the hills of Southern New Hampshire there can be difficulties.

Richard - what purpose does the power outage serve? If it's to stop the elevators, what purpose does that serve?

What makes you think Dougherty is taking the assassin(s) down in the elevator?
Arnold Rowland describes seeing a man with a rifle on the 6th floor around 12:15. Is this man Dougherty?

That would be a gangbang.

I agree with you, Dan....  But there is evidence that "somebody" cut the power in the TSBD at about 12:35 /  12:40.....

I don't know if anybody ever investigated to find out who cut the power and why...... And I doubt that there were any assassins in the TSBD.

If Mr. Pointing and Mr. Elliott have problems with my credibility because I wrote a 2009 book that culminated with a chapter about JFK & UFOs, fine, that's their problem. They should take their ridicule to another thread.

This thread, as John Iacolletti correctly states, is about the TSBD being a false front. I have a website with a dozen-plus essays about the TSBD- about 400 pages and 400 photographs-  and plenty of credibility as regards the topic of this thread

The Pointing-Elliott tack into UFOland is an indication that they don't have a counter-argument to my 2020 thesis. Please examine the 2020 essay or leave the room. Thus far nothing you've brought to the table furthers the question, yea or nay, as to the TSBD as a Potemkin Village.


Dan O'meara asks what I think the purpose of the power outage was. I looked at this in greater detail in my 2015 essay INSIDE JOB in the section Frazier & The Elevator Power, which begins on p. 42.  I concluded that the only benefit the conspirators would have gained would be to delay the police search. The conspirators would thereby gain time to "tidy up" the evidence so as to frame Oswald.

Cutting the power was not a spontaneous, superfluous act. It was an act that had been incorporated into the planning And it was accomplished by someone familiar with the building.

The power outage had been planned, and in all likelihood accomplished by someone who worked in the building. To quote my 2020 essay: "A telltale proof of conspiracy, hiding in plain sight."

And I have to agree with Walt Cakebread, that the assassins had left the TSBD well before the power outage. I think they escaped by 12:32.

I'll get to the question about Dougherty bringing down the assassins in my next post, hopefully in 10-12 hours.

Yes, You're right Mr Gilbride, the TSBD was used to draw the investigators and the search for the shooters into a staged "crime scene" .   There were no shots fired from the TSBD .....   And Captain  Fritz was a prime conspirator.     He has been quoted as insisting that the ignorant cops ( those who were not privy to the plot) keep searching the sixth floor, even after some of his subordinates wanted to expand the search to other areas of the building.   Fritz is quoted as saying " Keep looking for that rifle. it has to be here somewhere"   I ask:   How would Fritz know that the Shooter ( There was no shooter in the TSBD)  hadn't disassembled his weapon and left the TSBD with the dismantled weapon?

The TSBD is an excellent example of the proverbial Potemkin Village.
