On the Trail of Delusion, Episode 35, with John Corbett

It was a ton of fun talking with John, a regular here at the JFK Assassination Forum.

Fred,

I watched it last night on YouTube. It's pretty obvious I'm a rookie at the podcast thing. The camera angle and the lighting were terrible but you made the best of it. You inserted some interesting clips as well. I had a lot of fun doing it. Thanks. The downside is that now people will know I look nothing like my avatar.

I've archived the two-part debate that John C. had with Tom Rossley in 2010 as well. That 2-parter can be found HERE.

The host/moderator for all of the above debates was Anton Batey. Back in circa 2009-2010, Batey hosted some kind of radio show on WHPR-FM in Highland Park, Michigan (near Detroit). And Anton also hosted the two McAdams vs. Rossley debates as well. I have those battles archived too.

Was that an actual over-the-air broadcast radio station? I was led to believe it was an internet radio program.

Well, John, unless my info from back in 2009 is incorrect, the station that Anton Batey was associated with was over-the-air station WHPR (88.1 on the FM dial). But it is a very small (and not very powerful) station. Only 44 watts of power.

I just listened to the first 10 minutes of the debate and I was starting to get a headache listening to Rossley again. His strategy seemed to be to shout me down with his constant interruptions.

Rossley's website remained up for several years after he passed away. Out of curiosity I tried to access it again to see if it was still around. It's not. I think I told him once on alt.assassination.jfk that his screwy ideas would die when he did. They actually survived a few years longer but eventually vanished. I doubt there is any record of all the material he had accumulated over the years. It's no great loss. I can't remember the name of Tony Marsh's website but I'd bet that has gone bye-bye too.

By contrast, all seven members of the Warren Commission have passed on as well as most of the staff lawyers who did a lot of the work, but the Warren Commission Report still stands as the definitive explanation of the assassination of JFK. While some of it's findings have been fine tuned over the past 6 decades thanks to an army of people reviewing their work, the original parameters they gave us remain valid. Oswald was the assassin and the murderer of J. D. Tippit. There is still no credible evidence that anyone else took part in either crime. While the Warren Commission was unable to determine with certainty which of Oswald's three shots missed, I believe there is now a clear consensus that the miss was on the first shot. The SBT is still the only explanation that makes sense for the shot that went through JFK's torso and caused all the wounds to JBC. The parameters they gave us for that shot are still valid. They said the single bullet was fired between Z210-225. That remains true although I think we can narrow it down to being fired at Z220 plus or minus one frame and wounded the two men a few frames later.

A google search tells me that Burt Griffin is still alive but he is the only one I've been able to verify. I know Arlen Specter has died and I'm pretty sure David Belin has too. Not sure about the rest.

UPDATE: I did a google search and found out the name of Tony Marsh's website was The Puzzle Palace. The article contained a link to the website but when I clicked on it, ii indicated the website was not found. I would have been surprised if it had.

If anybody is interested, I found this compilation of various JFKA websites. I haven't gone through them to find out which ones are still operational.

I am surprized that there are so many John Corbetts around here & elsewhere (ie that believe the WC report)(that Oswald fired 3 shots).
Me myself i got into the jfk saga 4 years ago & (with the help of some smart fellas around here) it took me only a few months to see that Oswald's first shot ricocheted offa the overhead signal arm.
And (with the help of some smart fellas not around here) i could see that Hickey fired an accidental auto burst of at least 4 shots the last being the headshot.
I will write a short quick eezy jfk book.  Praps in late 2026.
I am busy writing a book on billiards at present.
And then i will write a book on elekticity.
And then the jfk book.
