The Position of the Bolt on the MC

[Walt Cakebread]

A wise man knows when to stop arguing, and let the ignoramus remain an ignoramus.

There was a time when wise men realized that the Earth was not a flat plate.   Their opponents would not accept the proof that was presented because their egos blinded them to the proof being presented.

Nobody will ever convince Mr "Smith" that he's been duped .......

We've been through this with you multiple times. The spherical earth was mainstream since the ancient Greeks (who calculated, as best they could, the world's circumference). The Catholic Church has on the top of ceremonial staffs a globe, representing the earth.

    "The myth that people in the Middle Ages thought the Earth is flat appears
     to date from the 17th century as part of the campaign by Protestants
     against Catholic teaching. But it gained currency in the 19th century,
     thanks to inaccurate histories such as John William Draper's History of the
     Conflict Between Religion and Science (1874) and Andrew Dickson White's
     A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896).
     Atheists and agnostics championed the conflict thesis for their own purposes,
     but historical research gradually demonstrated that Draper and White had
     propagated more fantasy than fact in their efforts to prove that science and
     religion are locked in eternal conflict."

It's the dishonest contrarians who promoted the "flat earth" conspiracy theory to undermine authority and reason. The modern equivalent is the JFK Conspiracy Loon or so-called "Skeptic/disinterested observer".

Your rebuttal is irrelevant..... The fact is:  The Earth is a sphere ....

Their tactic was similar to Hitler and Goebbels. A lie repeated often enough comes to be believed.

So If Joe Biden tells a lie and that lie is repeated often enough, it will come to be believed and accepted as the truth?

That's how he got elected.

Shoot him in the act.

The plotters had hoped that Lee would be a stupid sucker that he would actually be behind that window where they could shoot him and kill him and then decorate a cop for being alert and catching the assassin in the act.

Then the headlines  would have been:   Assassin Shot Before He Could Escape....... Case closed

Lee knew that it would be very risky to play out his role as an attempt assassin behind that window..... so he adlibbed his role and merely left the spent shells and the hidden rifle and stayed out of sight  until after JFK had passed by the TSBD.

Exactly, that’s why I said that it would be a better way to frame someone than planting a rifle.
