JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Professor Pearcy's Bad History Lesson

« Last post by Fred Litwin on Yesterday at 03:31:05 PM »

Professor Pearcy's Bad History Lesson

Professor Thomas Pearcy is the supposed CIA whistleblower who allegedly saw CIA documents which indicated the agency fooled G. Robert Blakey of the HSCA. He gave a speech last week in Indiana and here is an analysis of his speech -- and a full transcript. He didn't sound like a professor of history -- he just sounded like a JFK conspiracy theorist. Why would anybody take him seriously?

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Why do JFK assassination forums draw so many nut cases?

I hate to burst your bubble, [not really] but you haven't discovered anything of importance. Nothing you post here will ever see the light of day outside this forum. It's only make believe.

My discovery of our generation, of Sarah Stanton hearing Oswald say he was going to go back in to the 2nd Floor Lunch Room to eat lunch and not going down to watch the motorcade, was published in Vince Palamara's book around 2018 (Can't remember the title)...

Richard Gilbride also published this discovery in his book "JFK Inside Job"...

In my postings about the assassination on Deep Politics I mentioned the JFK Assassination being like the "Devil's Chessboard"...Shortly after Talbot came out with a book with the same title...

It is pathetic that the reason this discovery is not being accepted and promoted by the JFK research community is so they can cater to the punk researcher Bart Kamp and flatter the ego of Jim DiEugenio - while maintaining the clique's pecking order for whom the replies are now closed...

Much agreed.

Beyond that, I strongly suspect even if JFK had reduced the number of boots on the ground sometime after 1964, he still had other means to help SV, such as naval blockades, air wars, war materiel, money assistance, signals and other intel, diplomatic pressure and so on.

JFK was instrumental to the founding of SV (more so than any other American), and believed deeply in thwarting communism. He wasn't just going waltz away from SV.

James Douglass' book is just fantasy.

The ideology writes the agenda, and the agenda writes the narrative.

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / How Did Bart Kamp Create The Lovelady Image?

« Last post by Brian Doyle on Yesterday at 02:43:02 PM »

The majority of internet posters represent an impairing of conspiracy evidence rather than promotion...

Larsen's photo analysis was very good...It showed the distinct plaid pattern close up and matched it perfectly with its black and white stripes...So good, in fact, that when Larsen realized he had proven the timing for when Frazier was looking at Stanton he went back and deleted it with no protest from the members of The Education Forum...This, apparently, was OK with James Gordon's pinned "Site Behaviour" rules...Calling Larsen out on it was not...Even though that was Gordon's job...The new rules make it simpler: "Thread is now closed to replies"...

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Some statistics for the benefit of Michael T. Griffith

« Last post by John Corbett on Yesterday at 02:37:14 PM »

https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/

MTG has tried to make a big deal out of Vincent DiMaio's observations regarding how FMJ bullets behave when striking a human skull. What he fails to take into account is that handguns are far and away the most commonly used weapons in US homicides and would make up the overwhelming majority of the case studies DiMaio observed. For 2024, the most recent year for which statistics are available, there were 6246 handgun homicides compared to 356 for all other firearms. That would include both rifles and shotguns. Rifles make up only a portion of the 356, and homicides using FMJ ammo would be a small fraction of that, given that hunting ammo is by far the most common rifle ammo used by the civilian population. Of the few homicides committed with FMJ rifle rounds, only a fraction of those would be gunshot wounds to the skull. I would hazard a guess that the number is in the single digits.

For that reason, DiMaio would see very few such cases, if any, on which to base his conclusion. In fact, it would not surprise me if DiMaio was addressing only handgun rounds in his textbook on gunshot wounds. More to the point, I doubt DiMaio ever looked at another case of a homicide committed with an FMJ Carcano round fired into a human skull. He would therefore have no basis for concluding how such a round would fragment when striking a human skull.

DiMaio made general observations on how FMJ ammo reacts to striking a human skull and it would be poor science to take from his observations that all FMJ ammo would behave the same way, but that is exactly what MTG has done.

One more pertinent question which I doubt MTG will even address is this. If the fragmented bullet found on the floor of the limo did not shatter when striking JFK's skull, what else could it have struck that would cause it to break apart and what evidence is there for such a bullet strike.

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Bill Harvey...Totally Incompetent in Nov. 1963? But Why the Secrecy?

« Last post by Benjamin Cole on Yesterday at 02:24:14 PM »

MTG-

I wonder if we have Wyatt's travel records from November 1963...that seems little coincidental that Wyatt, although stationed in Rome, would be in the US and would see Harvey en route to Dallas.

Well, sure no way to know how debilitated Harvey was in Nov. 1963, although it sounds like he was a wreck. McCone was not only Harvey's superior, but the CIA Director, and a close friend of Robert Kennedy's.

So Harvey drinks himself literally under the table? At a dinner with McCone? He couldn't go a few hours without drinking?

Looks like author Talbot tried to get Wyatt's trave records, but they either did not exist or were withheld.

AI Version:

This statement refers to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) federal lawsuit filed in March 2017 by author and journalist David Talbot (founder of Salon) against the U.S. Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Background & Context
The FOIA Lawsuit: Talbot filed the lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking travel, passport, visa, and assignment records for former CIA officer William "King" Harvey and former CIA officer F. Mark Wyatt.

The Claim Regarding Wyatt and Harvey: According to the complaint, Wyatt told a reporter in 1998 that he had bumped into Harvey on a flight to Dallas in November 1963. On November 22, 1963, both Wyatt and Harvey were present at a CIA meeting in Sardinia. When news arrived that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated, Harvey allegedly blurted out comments that led Wyatt to suspect Harvey had advance knowledge of the assassination plot.

William "King" Harvey: Harvey was a prominent CIA officer who previously ran Task Force W (the CIA unit responsible for covert operations against Cuba, including Executive Action/ZRRIFLE assassination programs involving organized crime figures) before being reassigned to the CIA station in Rome.
Courthouse News

Status of Records: Talbot sought passport and visa records from the State Department and travel/TDY assignment logs from the CIA to verify travel movements around November 1963. The lawsuit noted that the State Department produced minimal records for Wyatt and claimed no responsive records for Harvey, while CIA files provided were heavily redacted.

---30---

I'll say it again: A very bad look to keep Harvey's travel records dark after 63 years.

What a pile of garbage.
My mistake - Virus is not weaker our immune system became stronger - same result = virus won't kill you.

I already showed you he did not. You just repeat the same BS

"Dr. Anthony Fauci did endorse early, aggressive stay-at-home recommendations and local business closures to slow COVID-19, but he did not possess the legal authority to order a nationwide shutdown or bankrupt businesses. Elected officials—including the President and state governors—made the ultimate legal and policy decisions."

You think it was just a very strong flu? - Then, how did it kill 15m(??) people?
look up the stories of health care workers at the time - they're all the same.

I heard it first hand. My brother in law worked at Bridgeport Hospital it was like a war zone. There was no treatment.
People of all ages were coming in but could only die. There were make-shift ICUs on every floor. It was horrific.
If you could make to a ventilator you might have a 1 in 4 chance. He was doing 12 hour shifts with 5- 6 hour breaks and back to work.

Any downplay of the virus in the first year of the pandemic is

...and then the red states blocked the vaccine mandates

"...multiple peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that significantly more people died of COVID-19 in Republican-leaning "red" states and counties than in Democratic-leaning "blue" areas. While death rates were initially comparable or higher in dense, blue urban areas during the first wave of 2020, a stark partisan gap emerged in 2021."

He told you to hate Fauci and you followed along perfectly. He undermined a 40 year professional just as he does now to Jeanine Pirro.
By doing so, released false and even deadly misinformation. I wonder if it could be calculated how many did he kill?

Anyway, So much winning, good job Richard.

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Jack Tatum & The Tippit Shooting

« Last post by John Corbett on Yesterday at 02:01:09 PM »

Oh, Jack Tatum's tale again?

Leaving side the other problems with Tatum's story, Tatum is also Dale Myers' last change-in-direction witness. Tatum said the killer was walking east. This claim is strongly contradicted by the available evidence. Moreover, Tatum did not say the man suddenly turned around. He simply said he thought the man was walking east. The initial police and Secret Service reports on the shooting said the killer was walking west, toward the patrol car, not away from it. Scoggins said the same thing in his first sworn statement. It would appear that Mrs. Markham said the same thing when she spoke with police right after the shooting. Two other witnesses likewise said the killer was walking west, not east, and thus toward the patrol car, not away from it. If the police or the Secret Service found a single witness who said the killer was walking away from the patrol car, they failed to say a word about it in any of their reports. Additionally, not one of the initial sworn statements from any of the eyewitnesses says the killer was walking east or that he suddenly changed direction as the patrol car approached.

But Myers needs this change in direction in order to try to explain why Tippit would have stopped the assailant, especially if the assailant was in fact Oswald. By all accounts, the man was walking along normally. And Myers admits it is unlikely Tippit would have stopped the man on the basis of the vague description that went out over the police radio.

"Did Oswald Shoot Tippit?"

Just one more case in which witnesses observing the same event describe it differently. BFD. It doesn't change the fact Oswald gunned down Tippit and there is no way to explain the available evidence without reaching that conclusion.
