Let's take this thread to the next level: Who ARE the consensus nutcases here? Should we just start naming names, or would it be better to do a poll?

Maybe we should hand out gold, silver, and bronze medals.

Question: Why do JFK assassination forums draw all of the nut cases?

Answer: Because the anomaly-replete assassination is fertile grounds for KGB-encouraged anti-"Deep State" / anti-"National Security State" / anti-"Administrative State" tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories.


Said the biggest nut case of them all!

A similar thought occurred to me. I wonder if he realized how odd it would look for him to claim that all JFKA conspiracy theories are "KGB-encouraged" while he decries "tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories."

This guy does little else but drone on and on about the KGB in post after post, claiming that the KGB has been a major force, if not the driving force, behind the rejection of the lone-gunman theory. In addition, he frequently accuses anyone who disagrees with him of being a KGB tool (knowing or unknowing). 

And then he gets on here and asks why JFKA forums supposedly draw "all of the nut cases"! Oh, the irony.

I don't think Tom Graves is a nut case, but his obsession with the KGB and his claims about the KGB and the JFK case certainly make him appear to be very odd.

Graves did good work on identifying Gloria Calvery...It helped sort out the who is who and what was what on the front steps...

Nobody cares. Nobody on the front steps had anything to do with the assassination. They were all spectators.

Dear Michael,

Do you think Yuri Nosenko was a true defector-in-place in Geneva in June 1962?

Hint: Nosenko's the KGB Major Lt. Col. Captain who recontacted the CIA in late January 1964 and physically defected to the U.S., leaving his beloved-in-1962 wife and two daughters behind to fend for themselves in Moscow and claiming to have read Oswald's KGB file four times -- twice before and twice after the assassination. He implausibly claimed that your and Fancy Pants Rants' beloved KGB had absolutely nothing to do with the former Marine sharpshooter and U-2 radar operator during the two-and-a-half years he lived in the USSR.

Question: Does that necessarily mean the KGB killed JFK?

Answer: No, it doesn't.

However, given the fact that Nosenko was eventually hired by the CIA to teach "counterintelligence" to its and the FBI's new recruits, it is an indication of just how penetrated by the KGB they were, and possibly still are.

If you want to learn more about it, you can read Tennent H. Bagley's 2007 book, Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games for free by googling "spy wars" and "archive" simultaneously.

-- Tom

PS In Apri 1964, when the Soviet Russia Division and CIA Counterintelligence had serious doubts about Nosenko's bona fides, probable KGB mole Bruce Leonard Solie (naive James Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior in the Office of Security) tried to talk W. David Slawson into allowing Nosenko to testify to the Warren Commission.

Bruce Leonard Solie.

Look him up.
