To my horror I find myself agreeing with John. The topic is the TSBD as a front and in my firm opinion there is something deeply suspicious going on there with multiple employees involved. What's going under the radar here is how profoundly weak Richard's argument is - that the power outage is somehow 'proof' that the TSBD is a front.
I would like to ask Richard what you think the purpose of the power outage is?

I didn't say it was a rule, nor am I policing.  Just pointing out that it's a logical fallacy to respond to an argument about the TSBD being a false front with a counter argument about aliens.  And the person who started the thread is well within his rights to ask you to stay on topic or start your own thread.  And if you don't like that, then it's your problem.

But thanks for the advice.

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!  :D :D :D

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?

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.
