JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: The First Shot
« Last post by Andrew Mason on Today at 04:14:09 AM »
The issue is that you place so much faith in eye and earwitnesses as if they are a source of empirical evidence.
Well, they certainly can be a source of empirical evidence. Individual witnesses may be reliable or unreliable. You seem to think that there is no way to tell whether witnesses are reliable. It has nothing to do with having “faith” in a witness.

Recreations can only show us what is possible. They can't really prove how long Oswald to get from points A to point B. B to C, C to D....and so on. It sounds like the recreation described in the OP was in the ballpark. It certainly doesn't refute the finding that Oswald killed Tippit, which all the credible evidence indicates he did.

The OP is definitely NOT claiming that the time trial refutes the idea that Oswald killed Tippit.  In fact, quite the opposite.  I am showing that there is no issue with any timing.  Oswald could have got there in time.

Bill: If Oswald had walked directly from the rooming house, using the straightest/shortest route, to the movie theater about how much time would it have taken? What time would he have arrived?

Hi Steve.  I have never walked from the rooming house directly to the theater.  However, from the rooming house to Tenth & Patton, it is nine-tenths of a mile and it took me 12 minutes and 20 seconds.  Google says it is exactly one mile from the rooming house to the theater (straight down Beckley to Jefferson).  My basic algebra tells me that would mean I could make the walk directly to the theater in roughly 13 minutes and 40 seconds.

This post from EF-JFKE founder John Simkin is not offensive, but what on earth does the debate over AI have to do with the JFKA?

The EF-JFKA cannot seem to stay on topic, although usually it is lurid, anti-Semitic crackpots who poison the well, not more AI warnings.

And now Simkin, who has always supported Islamists (they are left allies in Britain) warns agains Islamists having AI, with which they will destroy the world.


Simkin:

A few days ago Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warned that firms were pushing self-improving AI models which could become too hard to control. The concern has reportedly been acknowledged by some AI executives. This is nothing new. Professor Geoffrey Hinton has repeatedly warned that artificial intelligence could be used to design and engineer dangerous new biological viruses. Known as one of the "godfathers of AI" and a Nobel laureate, Hinton has stressed that the rapid acceleration toward superintelligence presents a near-term risk of biological weapon proliferation. He argues that advanced AI systems could significantly lower the technical barrier to creating bio-weapons, allowing malicious actors to cause widespread devastation. Hinton is forecasting this happening in the next ten years.

President Donald Trump dismissed rising concerns over the alleged threat posed by artificial intelligence to human existence, saying his priority was to maintain an edge over China. While the researchers warned that the technology could lead to human extinction, Trump said he had no such concerns. Trump said, "We are leading China right now by a pretty good period. I would say a year, which is, you know, considered a lot." Of course Trump is guessing but what happens if in a year's time Chinese AI can produce a virus that can wipe-out mankind? China is not the main problem. It does not want to destroy the American population, it wants to sell them goods.

There are several AI open source models available. What will stop Islamic terrorists from creating a killer virus that could be used to destroy the population of the US? They have no interest in selling goods to America.

US Senator Bernie Sanders recently said he intends to introduce legislation banning AI super-intelligence and propose a sort of sovereign wealth fund in which the US would take a 50% stake in AI companies. That's a start but it will probably not be enough to save the world.


Whether or not Trotskyite Simkin is right about The Islamicists, Geoffrey Hinton is correct about the dire threat posed to humankind by AI superintelligence.

I can't make heads nor tails out of the acoustic evidence.

I suspect it's because your CTer heart doesn't want to.

The DOA 1:15 time is a problem for me.

It’s 1:15 on the emergency room clock that the doctor records when he pronounced Tippit DOA.

That time coincides  nicely with Bowleys post shooting wristwatch time of 1:10 seeing Tippit already laying on ground and Markams pre shooting estimate time of 1:07 so sighting Oswald and Tippit following Oswald.

So why the DPD dispatch has a time that is 1:16 for Bowley radio call at 1:10 (by his watch ) has to be either collusion or everyone else’s clock  including the emergency room doctors clock was 5 to 7 minutes slow relative to the dispatchers clock.

It’s possible but in the case of the emergency room clock one would think that the hospital would keep clocks in emergency rooms in sync with “official” police time. Then again, this particular hospital could be a little sloppy like the emergency room I was in today for 8 hrs and could not get any diagnosis of even a general one  and I finally left the place out of hunger and dehydration not having eaten for 22 hrs.A Z-Gen orderly told me it was nothing to be concerned about not having eaten in 22 hrs. Yea, no concern for HIM no doubt.  ::)

The HSCA had a lot of reasons, including the acoustic evidence.

I can't make heads nor tails out of the acoustic evidence.

No worries, over at the Education Forum they have already inked Epstein to the JFKA, and the same Zionist (read Jews) cabal that runs the planet.

Andrew Iler has cleaned up the EF somewhat, but crackpot-ism seems deep in the DNA over there.

One problem is, founder John Simkin keeps linking these events together in thread titles, which of course opens up the floodgates. No one wants to corral Simkin (who I think is into his dotage, and that will happen to us all).

Many EF JFKA CT'ers desperately want the JFKA to be relevant to today, in addition to their demented theorizing.

The HSCA concluded that there was the [high?] probability of a shot from the GK area when the JFK limo passed, and that there had been a JFK assassination conspiracy.

Upon what lame evidence or lame analysis did it base its lame conclusion?
