IMO, Oswald was possibly/probably a low-level snitch for the CIA. Not valuable enough to be a paid informer, not an asset, certainly not an agent but just someone who, for reasons of grandeur, occasionally passed on info.
Does that count?

Thanks for the reply. I am asking for an item that most everyone on both sides of the controversy would agree upon. Is there anything? This argument has been going on for over 55-years now.

Hello John, Charles,
I am still here, thank you for remembering.
Yes, not many people believe in theory JFK did not die that day in Dallas but many things, circumstances lead to that conclusion. It is very hard for people to open their minds bit wider and give a chance to research this theory. Genuine and serious researchers have to stick to their own CT/LN theories and people like me do not have opportunities and possibilities to research more seriously and attract more attention to fake assassination theory.
In any case, I am still researching within my possibilities and have a plan to publish a book but there is always a fear present. Fear that I am right. Tend to believe that one of the reasons forum was hacked was my Final Conclusion topic.
All the very best.
PJ

A solid cylinder has three sides. Top, bottom and side.

A coin is just a very short cylinder, therefore it has three sides.

Everything solid has an inside.

If you snapped your solid cylinder in two, then the two broken pieces would now consist jointly of 8 sides in total, ie, 6 outsides plus 2 separate insides created from the one original inside, by the snapping of the cylinder.

Wrong, whilst it has an "inside", a solid object doesn't have a "side" inside it.

Not much.  You have two opposing approaches to the evidence.  Those that believe you can derive conclusions from making logical inferences from the facts and evidence and those who don't.  The latter do not subscribe to the notion that anything can be proven so long as there is any possibility that something else occurred no matter how improbable or absurd.  They grasp at any straw and ignore the mountain of evidence to the contrary presumably as the product of a frame up.  On the CTer end it is mostly about nitpicking evidence of Oswald's guilt to imply a conspiracy by default.

Of course it does, it's called the Inside  from which two new outsides were created.
Everything that has an outside must have an inside, simple physics. One can't exist without the other.
Even if you can never see it, for example inside a Black Hole, it's still there.

No, Duncan. It may have an inside, but there isn't an inner side in there.

If instead of sides we say faces, please show me where you believe the inner face is.

The 4th side of the Coin can never be seen, just like the inside of a Black Hole can never be seen.

Any outside surface of any solid object must have an inside contained within its mass.

This inside volume is a component of the outside surface just as the outside surface is an exterior component of the inside volume.

Repeat: One can't exist without the other.

You cannot find common ground on something that remains hidden. How do we know that the inside of that gold coin is nothing but false metal?

or....

"If it's a solid cylinder then it has three - a circular face at each end and a single surface that goes all the way round the middle which can be 'opened up' as a rectangle

If the cylinder is hollow (technically a tube) then it has two faces - an inner one and an outer one."

Like a Black Hole, the Solid Cylinder has an inside but it can never be seen by the naked eye.

Your Mathematician's logic makes as much sense as putting Harold Shipman in charge of Help The Aged.

If you inject a solid object with another smaller object and seal the injection point of entry, then, in order to escape from the inside of the solid object, the injected object would be required to pierce any point where the injected object touches the inside of any outer edge, ie, the inner side.  :)

You must have a peculiar interpretation of innocence.  By that standard Hitler, Jack the Ripper, and John Wilkes Booth were are innocent if by that you mean they died before being convicted in a criminal trial. That is absurd.  A criminal trial is not like the hand of God deciding if someone committed an act or not.  Even a not guilty verdict doesn't mean the defendant is innocent.  Do you think there is any doubt that Ruby shot Oswald or that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln simply because they died before they could be convicted?  Oswald killed JFK.  The fact that he died before he was convicted in a court doesn't negate the evidence that he was the assassin by even one iota.

LOL.  Try to follow along.  No one is arguing that there should not be criminal trials.  Where do you come up that kind of nonsense?  Where is Capt. Strawman now that we need him?  The obvious point is that an individual is not "innocent" merely because they die before a trial.  That is absurd.  We know John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln even though he was never convicted of that act.  To suggest he must be considered "innocent" because he was killed before getting a trial is false logic.  The same principle goes for Oswald.  Even if a defendant is found "not guilty" in a criminal trial that doesn't mean they are innocent.  It simply means that a judge or jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of their guilt.  They could, however, still be responsible for the crime.  I've dumbed it down as much as possible for you.

Actually, you?re Captain Strawman, but in this case I agree with you. Not guilty is not the same as innocent.

  That is absurd.  We know John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln even though he was never convicted of that act.

Stop it with the false equivalence. We don?t know that Oswald assassinated Kennedy.

In fact, JFK was afflicted by a plethora of illnesses that nearly cost him his life before ever setting foot into the WH.  He was administered last rites from a priest on 4 separate occasions not including his assassination.  You don?t know this as you NEVER do ANY research. Ever.

LOL.  Try to follow along.  No one is arguing that there should not be criminal trials.  Where do you come up that kind of nonsense?  Where is Capt. Strawman now that we need him?  The obvious point is that an individual is not "innocent" merely because they die before a trial.  That is absurd.  We know John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln even though he was never convicted of that act.  To suggest he must be considered "innocent" because he was killed before getting a trial is false logic.  The same principle goes for Oswald.  Even if a defendant is found "not guilty" in a criminal trial that doesn't mean they are innocent.  It simply means that a judge or jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of their guilt.  They could, however, still be responsible for the crime.  I've dumbed it down as much as possible for you.

The obvious point is that an individual is not "innocent" merely because they die before a trial.  That is absurd.

True, just as not all men convicted at trial are indeed guilty of the crime they were charged with. A jury verdict is a judgment call. One jury may convict, another may aquit


We know John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln even though he was never convicted of that act.  To suggest he must be considered "innocent" because he was killed before getting a trial is false logic. 

So the concept of innocent until proven guilty is false logic? I am not sure where you get it from that "we know" anything about this case? It seems to me it's far more a matter of assuming that what we are told is indeed correct. Having said that, I find the evidence for Wilkes Booth killing Lincoln persuasive enough to accept the premise that he did indeed kill the President.

The same principle goes for Oswald.

No it doesn't. The flawed circumstantial case against Oswald is a lot less persuasive than the evidence against Wilkes Booth.

Even if a defendant is found "not guilty" in a criminal trial that doesn't mean they are innocent.  It simply means that a judge or jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of their guilt.

True. Nevertheless, the law says in such an event that the person who is found not guilty has to be considered innocent, regardless of what other opinion a third party may have about that.

I've dumbed it down as much as possible for you.

You've done a good job of showing that your opinion about Oswald has nothing to do with whether he would be found guilty or innocent in a court of law. You would consider him to be guilty regardless. Who cares about reasonable doubt, prosecutorial misconduct, possible tampering with evidence? None of it matters to you. In your eyes, Oswald is guilty, period! The true mark of a religious zealot on a mission.....

Post by: Anthony Clayden on May 05, 2019, 10:23:02 PM
To convict you need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant was capable of comitting the crime, one factor is his presence at the crime scene.
Between Garner and Dougherty, there are at least 2 people plausibly in the only possible path of Oswald from the crime scene to where he was discovered.
The failure to narrow Dougherty's movements, along with the appearant neglect of Garner's evidence (whether through neglect or malice) leaves doubt as to Oswald presence at he crime scene, the level of doubt is up to an individual but for me it reaches the level of reasonable doubt.

Another factor is their another suspect who could have committed the crime, whilst their is not enough evidence to convict Dougherty, he is IMHO a plausible alternative shooter.

This doesn't mean I don't think Oswald may have been the shooter, just that I have a reasonable level of doubt.

You must have a peculiar interpretation of innocence.  By that standard Hitler, Jack the Ripper, and John Wilkes Booth were are innocent if by that you mean they died before being convicted in a criminal trial. That is absurd.  A criminal trial is not like the hand of God deciding if someone committed an act or not.  Even a not guilty verdict doesn't mean the defendant is innocent.  Do you think there is any doubt that Ruby shot Oswald or that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln simply because they died before they could be convicted?  Oswald killed JFK.  The fact that he died before he was convicted in a court doesn't negate the evidence that he was the assassin by even one iota.

The statement has a qualifier included, the word ?technically.?

May, as usual, overestimates his own importance, thinking he is better than others. Like a high school bully he thinks Caprio would be an easy mark, but when I challenged him to a debate he ran, just like any high school bully would do. May's stance is a sign of weakness. The guy is a pathetic loser who once claimed he had been involved in over 200 murder investigation when in fact he was involved in none. He uses and has been using aliases for years and proclaims himself to be a researcher, yet he has never ever revealed any of the results of his "research". It's kinda sad, really?.

Btw the real reason why he ran from debating me is that it would expose his real identity and thus his real background.

You are an interesting guy. Everything you complain about you happen to be guilty of. And the Silly Bullet Theory is a silly theory, hence the name, Silly Bullet Theory.  One which lacks any logic unless, of course, your logic formula is
"logic = convenience + senseless substitution". You subscribe to "making the rules up as you go along" and then say it is scientific. The fact that Spector reacted with a Silly Bullet Theory and turns out to be the perfect amount of comfort for Paul is marvelous. Bravo to Spector.  Hilarious Arnie sure had some goofy parameters to work with, just "make them up as you go along"  If E. Howard Hunt can have a career as a CIA nut then overnight turn into a plumber, then Arnie can go from a being Lawyer to being a liar, I mean, science guru

And you run from debating Weidmann. 

May, as usual, overestimates his own importance, thinking he is better than others. Like a high school bully he thinks Caprio would be an easy mark, but when I challenged him to a debate he ran, just like any high school bully would do. May's stance is a sign of weakness. The guy is a pathetic loser who once claimed he had been involved in over 200 murder investigation when in fact he was involved in none. He uses and has been using aliases for years and proclaims himself to be a researcher, yet he has never ever revealed any of the results of his "research". It's kinda sad, really?.

Btw the real reason why he ran from debating me is that it would expose his real identity and thus his real background.

My real identity? Ah, the raging paranoia of the kooks. Damn entertaining.  Short story. I?m a member at Jeff Morley?s jfkfacts.org.
Tom Scully was the admin at the time. I frequently engaged Jim DieEugenio, who on multiple occasions accused me of being 3 different posters. Each time a new member joined, per Jim D., it was me.  It got almost comical.  Unfortunately, the brazen paranoia of those such as DiEugenio and ?certain? members of this site is scary. It?s a mental health issue.  Back to the story. I got an email from Jeff Morley asking if we could speak via phone. Having nothing to hide, I said sure. Morley called me and we had a conversation covering multiple subjects. We agreed to have a beer next time I was in D.C. My identity was later confirmed by Tom Scully.

Weidmann is an irritant often ignored and justifiably so. Not only by myself, by many on this site. He wants to debate me to give him the credibility he so desperately seeks. I have stated repeatedly after years in this site, I will no longer engage in discussion of 50 year old evidence long ago put to rest which happens to be the specialty of those such as Weidmann. When he actually comes up with something new or relevant (don?t hold your breath), a new day may brighten. Until such time, his brooding, dark, raging paranoia will be ignored.  Wait for it. An ignorant response is forthcoming.

Paul,

You may find interesting the one-star review of Morley's book The Ghost I posted at Amazon under my username dumptrumpputin, or some-such thing.

Eighteen people have found it useful, so far.  My review, that is.

LOL

So  Paulie's work is done? I get it if this sensitive victim is asked a question he moves to his default answer "my posts were hacked"

The shooter?  That sucks since Oswald was not the shooter might have been different if he was a shooter. I am sure you agree

I didn't see where Paul May said anything about his posts being hacked, other than that the previous version of this forum was hacked and everybody lost their posts. You are erroneously trying to separate Paul from the same fate that every member suffered.

And since you are certain that Oswald wasn't the assassin, by all means feel free to name your shooter, and show proof that anyone else but your shooter knew that there was to be an attempt made on Kennedy that day.

It seems your work is not done.

Great.  You have "evidence" that nobody can see, but we should trust you, there's evidence.  Sounds a lot like your case against Oswald.   :D

And you run from debating Weidmann.  So what?  Are we interested in studying the facts?

And if you think I've never disagreed with Caprio then you weren't paying much attention on that old forum that Denis praises your participation in.  The difference between me and you is that I disagree by providing evidence for why I disagree.  You disagree by chiding people for discussing a case that you think has been settled and insulting people who dare to have a different conclusion.

We have disagreed on a number of issues so as usual his comments are wrong.

The email communication that I had with Education Forum was with Kathy Beckett and not Paul May. How would a LNer know what was discussed in these emails (and I still have them) when he wasn't included in them? The charge of identity theft is ludicrous since he has no idea what I look like. He decided that I had to look a certain way, and posted that picture, but that doesn't make it so.

For the record, I decided to leave Education Forum because Beckett would only accept a photo of the person May claimed I was. Let that sink in in regards to who is really running that board.

Name the people that are ignoring me. And how are you one of them, when you are responding to my post?

He wants to debate me to give him the credibility he so desperately seeks.

As I said earlier; May overestimates his own importance. And no, the reason for wanting to debate him is to expose him as the loser he is. Which is of course why he is running and offering pathetic excuses for it.

I have stated repeatedly after years in this site, I will no longer engage in discussion of 50 year old evidence long ago put to rest

Yet you want to debate Rob Caprio about exactly that? Go figure

Actually you need to come up with the shooter or shooters. You forget something the WC never proved. Answer  shooter(s) - that means singular or plural

You hesitate to admit that Gloria Calvery is standing on a lower step in Couch-Darnell because you seem to be afraid that to do so would be tantamount to declaring Oswald the assassin.

No, I "hesitate to admit" that Gloria Calvery is standing on a lower step in Couch-Darnell, because your "I think I see two faint bars on her lower half" argument is not at all compelling.

Quote
Ironically, the only thing you "accomplish" by being so irrational and stubborn regarding the correct identification in the photographic images of Stella Mae Jacob and her two colleagues, and Gloria Calvery and her three colleagues, as well as outliers John Templeton and Ernest Brandt, is the holding back of clear-headed, correct-track research and progress on this case.

Translation:  "you have a lot of nerve not accepting my 'identifications', which are correct, because I say so, dammit!"

Let it go, Captain Obsession.

And 'may' ;) I add, no one has yet proven that anyone but the shooter knew there was going to be an attempt made on Kennedy that day.

No one has proven much of anything about this case.  Hence this attempt to find common ground.

Wow.  Caprio is lying on so many levels here, one has to think about how to respond.  First I was not privy to emails between Beckett and Caprio.  My conversation with Kathy Beckett regarded the ED Forum, the Photo Caprio stole from Facebook and the phony name he used to register. What Caprio fails to comprehend is one fact: on his own FB site, he had some 20 photos he claimed was himself, POSING in front of his mirror as he claims to be a body builder. I have copies of those photos. If, as he claims those photos are not of himself, then he also stole those photos for his FB Page. When he heard I had the photos, he blocked me.
Next lie, Caprio was DISMISSED, he did NOT decide to leave the ED Forum.  He violated, as usual TOS. He has this history. He was found useless at DPF and poof, gone from there also. The fact Caprio believes I have any input into the policies of the ED Forum when not even a member once again defines his paranoia. On a personal note, if you looked like Caprio, you too would avoid live debate on line.

I don?t run from debating Weidmann.  He?s not interesting enough to debate.  He?s boring, nor do I read many of his comments. I provided enough evidence in this case when I first joined 10-12 years ago.  Unfortunately, you kooks are still debating the same old crap long ago discarded by serious researchers. No fun there. Advance the case. You cannot even do that. Iacoletti, you?re such a cliche?. I insult nobody. Kooks insult EVERYBODY by continuing to discuss the very same garbage year after year, decade after decade.  What?s it get you?  THINK before you answer.  Be introspective. At this point for me, understanding the mentality and  psychology of why you believe your crap with NOTHING new in decades is more interesting in a case solved long ago. That?s the point, you have NO hard nor credible evidence for your positions. It?s frustrating you people to death.

You talk about boring, no fun, etc. yet you just used "I" 4 times in one line. You are above it all, you provided all the evidence in 10-12 years?  Really? Maybe your work is done.  Can you do anything besides repeating your standard self-aggrandizing posts?  Soapbox champion. Who cares?

Yes, that's exactly what he thinks. A clown feeling superior than others is still only just a clown with a delusion.

Can you do anything besides repeating your standard self-aggrandizing posts? 

No he can't.

Soapbox champion. Who cares?

Exactly right


While running away from it as fast as he can, the weasel calling himself May says I am "not interesting enough" to debate, yet at the same time he claims he does not read many of my comments. How in the world would he know that I am "not interesting enough" when he doesn't read most of what I write?

May's claim is just as wacky as his pathetic claim that he does not want to discuss old evidence whilst at the same time wanting to debate exactly that with Rob Caprio. He is full of crap. His obsession with Rob Caprio is comical and sick at the same time.
