I have not started a new thread on this forum since I read this.:
Tom, I think everyone's getting a little tired of you telling other members what they can and can't post. Ever thought of starting your own forum, a forum where YOU make the rules..because you don't make them here.
I am starting this thread because I have not given up on the hope that this recent rebuild of this forum can develop
into a useful resource. Are forum posters for the most part reacting reasonably to provable facts, or for the most part,
seemingly reacting to something else?


I still hold out a diminishing expectation that this place can be something better than currently presented to readers.
There are three prominent influences here, and I do not regard presentation and discussion of practical, (IOW, facts
likely to become undisputable or to resolve any issue) provable details as a prominent focus of forum posters.

LNs exhibit an unbelievable level of incuriousity. CTs do not impose upon themselves the very deficiencies they identify
and criticize the DPD, FBI, WC, and LNs for.... accuracy, transparency, sincerity, open mindedness, pursuit of truth wherever
such pursuit leads. The third prominent influence in this forum is ardent focus and emphasis on the obviously impractical.
It is obvious to me it is pointless to rewrite, impeach, reverse the 55 year old testimony of literally all witnesses in the
record for the purpose of attempting to establish consensus of unprovable observation of who was or wasn't present on
TSBD's entrance way.

Instead of attempting reinvention of the wheel or dismissing every curiousity as irrelevant or engaging in hypocritical
double standard with regard to commitment to actual pursuit of truth, is there an actual appetite here for focus on
what we know, and what it means?

One example is Sam Mike Newman? Is he important? Is his name even recognized? The record indicates he owned
544 Camp Street in NOLA in 1963 and that he had a good deal to say....superficially.... about the cast of characters
Jim Garrison was investigating.

Does it come as a surprise and does it matter that Newman immigrated from the same
region as the parents of John Shaheen? Shaheen happened to be extremely close to William Casey, Richard Nixon,
and the employer of defector Robert Webster, H James Rand of Rand Development Corp.

On the Ed Forum, there is deep concern in reaction to the hoary claims of DMN staffer Coley...
...is the red liquid blood or soda pop? Coley claimed FBI agents confiscated film negative and
print of red liquid pool photographed by DMN staffer Jim Hood. Claims of Coley more than a dozen years
old presented by Simkin....that Jim Hood died soon after in a mysterious or unsolved plane crash
are accepted at face value and repeated to this day.

......In 1990 Coley told the story to Wallace O. Chariton. He was convinced that Coley was telling the truth (by this time Hood and Mulkey were dead). Aynesworth was interviewed and he confirmed the story but claims that he was convinced that it was some sort of dark drink had been spilt on the steps....

How do these details favorably impact Coley's story? (IOW, is no one else weary of this 55 years long blizzard of disinfo?)
As a result of an assinine new Ed Forum prohibition, if the following debunking evidence is mentioned on that forum at all,
it cannot be attributed to my effort. Does it occur to anyone else this area of interest is not mostly attracting truth seekers?

.....Today, the 78-year-old Coley lives with his wife Bonnie and son Scott, just East of Mineola, far from the life he knew at the newspaper.

He's comfortable speaking about the unspeakable and from time to time he shares his memories with civic clubs and church groups.

But always there will be unanswered questions relating to that November day in 1963.

His photographer friend died in the next year or two after the president's death in what Coley describes as questionable circumstances in a plane crash.

Tom, quite simply, 55 years out there is nothing left to discuss.  Every blog, every forum, every day, same discussions.  Same threads.  Same arguments. Everything released by NARA. So what?s the point at this point?
