JFK Assassination Forum

Donald Jeffries, whom I know nothing about, seems to have picked up the anti-Jewish flag over there.

There isn't much good I can say about Gavin Newsom but I most definitely give him credit for one thing. He overrode the recommendation of his own parole board that Sirhan should be granted parole. Sirhan should die in prison for what he did. I wish he had died in the California gas chamber 50 years ago but SCOTUS screwed that up. If he lives to be 100, I hope he is NEVER granted parole.

CORRECTION: I just read that Sirhan's death sentence was commuted by the California Supreme Court in 1972 when it ruled capital punishment violated the state constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Later that year, SCOTUS ruled all current death penalty statute's were unconstitutional but stopped short of saying capital punishment was unconstitutional, opening the door for revised death penalty statutes that met guidelines set out in their ruling. 

Anyone wanting to present a plausible argument needs to do one simple thing. Present evidence to support that argument. That's true no matter what the subject is. I see very little of that from the JFKA conspiracy community. Most of their arguments are why we shouldn't believe the evidence the WC presented of Oswald's guilt. If Oswald did not act alone, that means other were involved in the assassination, but I never see evidence that any such people exist. It's all, we shouldn't believe this or we shouldn't believe that about Oswald. Forget Oswald. Show us evidence others were involved.

Another of Sirhan’s brothers was later convicted by a federal court for writing letters to Israeli PM Golda Meir, threatening to assassinate her.--Lori Spencer.

Spencer is an authority on the RFK assassination.

She posted this on "X," and I had never heard about it.

AI version:

Sharif Bishara Sirhan, the older brother of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, was convicted in a federal court in June 1973 for mailing a letter threatening to shoot and kill Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. He was accused of sending the threat to Secretary of State William P. Rogers, in which he called Meir a "dead conscience" and claimed she would be killed by March 1. Following his conviction, Sharif Sirhan was sentenced to six months in jail.

In addition, Sirhan's older brother purchased for Sirhan the handgun with which he murdered RFK. I am not sure if Sharif was the older brother who purchased the gun, or another brother.

PS: You will never read this in the Education Forum. Maybe now that William Niedernut has been neutered, but not before.

Some regard Sirhan, who was valorized all over the Middle East after murdering RFK (not in Israel, obviously) as an early Palestinian terrorist.

Payette keeps hiding behind his juvenile talking point that all conspiracy theorists have warped minds and thus can't deal logically with evidence.

Hello, what? I am entirely open to plausible conspiracy theories. That was the entire point of my thread on that topic. Most of my posts over the past several weeks have been quite CT-friendly. You're simply tilting at straw men.

There is a vast body of psychological and sociological literature dealing with the conspiracy-prone personality. The literature emphasizes that it is not "warped" or pathological per se. At the fringes of conspiracy thinking, however, it borders on pathological. This is true of every area of weirdness in which I have been deeply involved. There is the "weirdness community" and then there is the "lunatic fringe of the weirdness community."

You are well into the fringe. For all of your pontification and publication, I see no evidence that your work is taken seriously even within the CT community. It's just too goofy. Sure, John Armstrong, Doug Horne, et al., have their cult-like followings, but they are just too goofy for rational CTers that demand some level of plausibility. I don't see that you even have such a following. It appears to me that you are the proverbial legend in your own mind.

The very title of this thread is classic crank-speak: Undeniable Proof of Fraud: The Impossible JFK Autopsy Photos. Anyone attempting to present a plausible argument knows to avoid this absolutist sort of language that can never deliver what it promises. But not a crank; he really thinks he has "undeniable proof" of "impossible" things.

Plausibility is the enemy of an interesting story.
