Education Forum-JFK as Putin Asset?

[Benjamin Cole]

LP-

I will not hold my applause. I will applaud you.

TS-

Verily, there is a laundry list of dubious or even obviously false "facts" Niedernut subscribes to, and he then censors and bans those with other viewpoints.

The EF-JFKA founder, John Simkin, a Brit far leftist (which in Great Britain may mean Islamist-leftist) seems to slipped into his senescence.

Duncan MacRae operates a perfectly good forum without noxious censorship. So it can be done.

3. Seriously contemplated reporting him to the Colorado Medical Board and asking if they really thought this guy should be providing psychiatric counseling (as opposed to receiving it!) but then decided that opening a can of worms with a loose cannon like NiederNut was probably not in my best interests.

I am beyond flabbergasted that a psychiatrist who has ideas like his floating around in his head is able to maintain a practice. It reminds me of when I first began representating a mental health agency in involuntary commitments of folks with serious mental illnesses who were a danger to themselves or others. A commitment required the testimony of two licensed psychiatrists. The attorney I replaced warned me, "You're quickly going to learn the psychiatrists are nuttier than the patients."

Although I was no longer a member of the Ed Forum, the appointment of NiederNut and Sandy Larsen as moderators was to me the clearest sign this was no longer a serious forum and that something was very, very wrong. Talk about the lunatics running the asylum.

Calling the medical board about him is kinda a genius idea Lance! But I agree that this fella seems unhinged.

And I would know, because I had a wacko on (believe it or not) the forum of the International Association for Near-Death Studies report ME to the Arizona State Bar for basically "hurting her feelings." The Bar explained that this was not really a matter within their jurisdiction, but every lawyer knows that ANY complaint to the Bar is not to be taken lightly. With NiederNut, I think he's pretty elderly and I don't think he has much of an active practice, so I decided to let it go.

That Moscow and Tehran narratives have flooded into the JFKA research community, from the beginning, and even more in the present day, is hardly controversial.

Now a Education Forum "moderator" Willim Niedernut is citing the Moon of Alabama blog. Well, lunatics of a feather flock together, no?

Don't feel bad is you never delved into the demented little corner of the internet known as Moon of Alabama. I never heard of it either, until advised by a friend that Niedernut was citing the blog as a source. You really have to look under a rock to find this stuff.

Here is the AI version of Moon of Alabama:

"While not classified by researchers as a covert Russian state-directed covert operation, the Moon of Alabama blog functions as a pro-Kremlin, anti-Western conspiracy website that consistently echoes and amplifies official Russian disinformation narratives.

Operating since 2004 under the pseudonym "Bernhard," the site is an English-language commentary blog focused heavily on foreign policy, military conflicts, and geopolitics. In disinformation tracking, the site is recognized for:

Amplification of State Media: The blog frequently cites and defends Russian state-owned media outlets like RT and Sputnik.

Discrediting Human Rights Claims: Researchers have documented the blog's role in publishing articles that cast doubt on reports of Russian atrocities in Ukraine, often sharing talking points timed to align with Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs statements.

Ideological Alignment: Rather than acting as a covert troll operation, Moon of Alabama operates as an independent actor within an alternative-media, conspiratorial ecosystem.

It strongly supports isolationist policies, consistently blames NATO for the invasion of Ukraine, and advocates heavily in favor of Kremlin-friendly geopolitical outcomes.

BTW, the Moon of Alabama blog is not written by some guy in the Cotton State...but rather Bernhard Horstmann, a German-based "independent political commentator." Likely a Russian stooge op.

So William Niedernut is a fan of Bernhard Horstmann. Why am I not surprised?

The KGB's JFKA narrative has long been prominent in JFKA research circles, even after the "Hunt letter" was exposed. Some things never change. See Oliver Stone and Putin.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

It is ironic, and perhaps revealing, that Niederhut frequently accuses sane, reasonable WC skeptics of being Operation Mockingbird operatives. If I worked for Mockingbird, I would be thrilled beyond measure to see wingnuts like Niederhut damage the credible case for a JFKA plot by peddling crazy theories such as the 9/11 Truther garbage while arguing for a JFKA conspiracy.
