I've only been a regular on this board for about 6 months so maybe some of the new names I'm seeing lately have been here before, but if so it was before I joined. I'm guessing from what I've read in other threads is that the Ed Forum has killed their JFKA discussion group and that some of those regulars are making a new home here. Not that I have any objection to that. It does seem that most of the unfamiliar names are CTs and they bring a whole new kind of nuttiness. The more the merrier.

I'm a member of the Ed Forum. I registered here when it looked like the Ed Forum might disappear. I don't post much there as I defer to those with much more knowledge than me. But I do like check the posts there regularly. And I regularly check in here, as well.

The Education Forum has always created exiles due to its draconian, unaccountable moderation...The members there know what the deal is and knuckle under to the overbearing moderation with sycophancy and obsequiousness...The Deep Politics Forum was formed as a sanctuary to excessive Education Forum moderation...
In my opinion a poster's status should be determined by the quality of his research...This is something that has been corrupted on The Education Forum in to controlling members having their way and giving right of way to their favorites...In my case I accuse The Education Forum of using censorship and banning to avoid the correct evidence on Prayer Man and forcing what they know to be the incorrect evidence...This is so bad that it invalidates the forum...The way the forum deals with this accusation is to ban and ignore those who try to show it...

That used to be my attitude, too. "Wow, these people know EVERYTHING about the JFKA! I am unworthy." You might do as I did: pick a couple of their claims and check them out for yourself. You may well find that an awful lot of what they "know" isn't "knowledge" by a long shot. Or that they know an awful lot of stuff that they try to fit into a JFKA narrative but doesn't really belong there. Even better, invent an absolutely wacky conspiracy claim out of thin air - "Ruth Paine had been Hosty's mistress for three years before the JFKA" - and see how many people immediately agree with you and take it to new heights of lunacy.

At least ten years ago, probably more, I was encouraged to join the Ed Forum by one of its members. I did try but was unsuccessful. As best I remember it, I was told they were not accepting new members at the time. Based on some of the comments I've read, that was no great loss for me. I probably would have been too blunt for their liking anyway.

Former Ed Forum moderator Kathy Beckett and a far-left, Nosenko-loving / Bagley-hating firebwand CT by the name of Michael Clark conspired to kick me out of the so-called JFK Assassination Debate - Education Forum in May 2018.

"It was long ago and far away, and so much better than it is today"
My advice, wear slippers, I inadvertently stepped on the wrong folks' toes.
I was removed from the Ed Forum by John Simkin in 2013 for the offense of making Simkin's book author friend, Peter Janney, look ridiculous.
I really pissed off Janney's Budd, Doug Horne, as well. Janney's aunt was married to Rockefeller sponsored ,

And Janney's father was Personnel Director of the CIA

Frederick Wistar Morris Janney (March 15, 1919 – January 18, 1979) was a career Central Intelligence Agency officer who was recruited by Allen Dulles in 1949. He held a number of positions during his thirty-year career and was awarded the Agency's highest honor, the Distinguished Intelligence Medal, four days after his death.[1]

If you are a truly "rational voice" you will provide your real name and tell us exactly how you came by your citations. To not do so is cowardly. To continue not to do so will make readers wonder who you really represent, and really work for. Are you a third party surrogate (or a direct employee) working for the USG whose mission here is to attempt to discredit the confession of a hit-man? The readers of your book review here will not have forgotten that William L. Mitchell (or someone identifying himself as this person) confessed to author Leo Damore---William L. Mitchell himself told Damore that he was Mary Meyer's murderer. This event is well-documented in Janney's book.
Your attempt to suggest otherwise, via your citations, conveniently ignores this vital fact. Peter Janney has not identified Mitchell as Meyer's murderer "because Mitchell could not be found," as you claim; rather, he has identified Mitchell as Meyer's murderer because Mitchell confessed this to Damore. All the citations in the world will not erase this fact.
Your citations seem to me like the kind of detailed biographical information that would be maintained by the same "outfit" that would have maintained Mitchell's operational file at the Agency. Who the hell else would know these things? What ordinary reader would have the ability to look up and find the citations you so conveniently found?
If the William L. Mitchell you cite did not kill Mary Meyer in 1964, then perhaps his identity was highjacked---stolen---circa 1964, by the covert operations ("wet") arm of the Agency---and used by the hitman.
Unless you provide us with your real name and the exact means by which you came up with your citations, you will only increase everyone's suspicion of your motivations here---and your methods.
Many despicable and cold-blooded people throughout history have been well-educated. So finding a person named William L. Mitchell with three college degrees does not prove he could not have been Mary Meyer's killer. That seems like the kind of flawed "logic" an intelligence agency would use on readers in an attempt to cast doubt about the disturbing conclusions of a controversial book.
If this William L. Mitchell didn't kill Mary Meyer, why isn't he raising hell about Janney's book? We certainly haven't heard a peep from him, now, have we?
Why don't you "get real" and tell us who you are, and how you found your citations? What tools did you use? Did someone lead you to them? Did someone provide them to you? Your postings have the odor to me of a disinformation/spin operation, designed to cast doubt, and to make readers forget the basic fact that a "William L. Mitchell" confessed to murdering Mary Meyer for the CIA, to author Leo Damore. Attorney Jimmy Smith's notes of his phone call with Leo Damore prove that.

When I tried to show the Davidson Enhancement of the Wiegman Film that displayed Sarah Stanton's face on Prayer Man on The Education Forum the Prayer Man people sent Private Messages to Gordon accusing me of various methodology errors...Gordon then accused me of those alleged methodology violations without checking if they were valid or not...He then did the demerit points moderation trick that website uses in an effort to make a case for banning against me...When I asked Gordon in Private Messages to please show me the specific site rules I violated and what material violated them he responded that he didn't have to and any further inquiries would result in banning...It was obvious that Gordon was over his head and the reason he was doing this was because he didn't want the site to know he wasn't capable of moderating technical analyses...The Prayer Man theory was the forum's pet theory and Gordon wasn't about to let a universally ridiculed member refute it...I was ultimately banned for being too insulting, too indisciplined, and failing to follow the rules of evidence when told...That last one was quite ironic seeing how I was posting the correct evidence so it was actually them who were guilty of what they were accusing me of...Gordon had pulled that rule out of his ***...With this The Education Forum had successfully avoided the evidence that Prayer Man was Stanton...
After I was banned I asked Beckett over on the McAdams forum how she justified keeping the correct Prayer Man evidence from her members?...Beckett refused to answer...She then ran back to the Education Forum and told them I was attacking her...She knew just the right dirty tricks to keep me from The Education Forum...

As I've stated previously, however, I never got so much as a warning at the Ed Forum. I think that fact speaks to the state of moderation at the time - principally James Gordon and Kathy Beckett, both of whom were very nice to me. I think Simkin was out of the picture by the time I joined. I was also gone (I think) by the time Sandy Larsen was appointed, which even at the time I regarded as the Beginning of the End. The addition of Niederwacky made the moderation about as close to a reign of terror as one could find.
City-Data is a wild ride. They have umpteen different moderators for umpteen forums, and you have to learn the "culture" of each forum or risk being banned from the whole thing. I was banned about eight times - I made a hobby out of reappearing with a new persona and seeing how long I could get away with it. My favorite - always on the Religion & Spirituality forum - was Irkle Berserkle, who has been gone for years but is still occasionally mentioned in the vein of "thank God he's gone."
