Plant CTs or LNers to perpetuate a Cover Up?

From you. You're not making any sense.
Iacoletti: "Name three of these "thousands" who have made any significant money off the assassination."
"Mytton": "How can they make any money if they don't perpetuate the conspiracy??? Duh!"
So conspiracy authors don't make any significant money because they would need to perpetuate the conspiracy in order to make any money. Therefore, conspiracy authors must not be perpetuating the conspiracy because they're not making any money.
Brilliant.
--- Quote ---How do you know they profited a single penny from their JFK books?
Bugliosi spent 20 years on a book which did not sell overwhelmingly and that would have to be considered a loss. And I don't think that either Case Closed or With Malice were best sellers and any WC defender author would know based on any JFK poll that any book which reinforces the WC is simply a passion project. Just look at Curry and what he said to promote his book, anything remotely tied to a non-conspiracy is not likely to sell!

I notice how you tried to turn the question around. You accused conspiracy authors of making money off of the assassination and then failed to provide even a single example. Bugliosi reportedly got a million dollar advance for his propaganda. Posner the plagiarist was a best-seller.

David Lifton's best seller likely broke even, at best.

Harold Weisberg was an early and prolific author who seemed to.make little
from those projects. Marc Lane is the only CT theme author I am aware of who
made much money. The first big LN book was by William Manchester and he got paid.
O'Reilly's "Killing Kennedy" sold more than a million copies.

You're missing the point, quote me ever saying that any conspiracy author made one cent off of the sale of a single book?

So they are motivated by money, but they just don't ever make any? What exactly are you trying to say? I don't even think you know.

Well that's about it, you promote what you create and if you get sales then that's a fabulous byproduct.
John, just say you wrote a book how would you promote it and what avenues are available to you to present your product to the public?
An example is James DiEugenio where in every other post at the Ed Forum he is mentioning some book or other that he wrote or the many members here who have promoted books but they all eventually realize that this type of blatant self promotion is grating so people like them take to the Forums to steer the debate in the direction that reinforces the crap in their books.

To be honest I believe the author infiltration happens but not a scale worth considering but I think that there is a large group of CT's and that includes you that are paid by the government to post as much disinformation as possible.
