Earlier I wrote that the debate is over; and it is, and that's because
we're not dealing with a rational discussion of fact, we're dealing with
a group of people as dedicated to their belief system as those shaved
head idiots in orange sheets you used to see pan-handling at airports.
Rational debate requires certain rules chief among them that fact and
volume of fact must be recognized. Simply put, the Lone Nutters
recognize neither. They ignore opposing fact no matter the quantity.
This is similar to the Creationist and Evolution "debate." Is it really
a debate? Of course it isn't, and we know this because no matter how
much fact evolutionists bring to bear -- even skeletal evidence! -- the
Creationists will never accept evolution.
And the Lone Nutters will never accept conspiracy.
Bugliosi will never accept conspiracy.
Bugliosi finds the notion of an American coup d'état, sacrilege, too
horrible to contemplate, a notion so aberrant it is unpatriotic to even
think of.
The tip-off is when you talk to these people you discover there are
other communally agreed upon things they don't accept either. For
example, they don't accept the notion that the FBI and CIA were corrupt,
that J. Edgar Hoover was a closet transvestite, that the war in Iraq is
without merit.
In other words, scratch a Lone Nutter and you'll you get a card-carrying
John Bircher, NRA button on lapel, muddy creek Anabaptist who still
thinks the Rosenbergs deserved the electric chair.

Who Shot JFK?
http://tinyurl.com/247ybb
If it's a good post, tis unfortunate that I can't see it. Probably comes from
someone I have killfiled.
But whenever you point out the obvious to a LNT'er - they run in the opposite
direction. Take, for a simple example, the OVERWHELMING evidence of FBI
intimidation of eyewitnesses in this case. There's simply no room to 'debate'
it at all - so rather than simply admit it, Toddy simply refuses to answer the
post.
To the best of my recall - *no* LNT'er has admitted that eyewitnesses were
intimidated by the FBI.
Sure, fella.
Nonetheless, I've got a question for you.
Was Howard Hunt in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963?
NEVER PROOF

Silly. As much as 90% of Americans believe that there was a conspiracy - yet by
this reasoning above conservatives would never hold office.
You didn't know about Operations Northwoods until you read about it
here, some 40 years later. And there are tons of things which are still
being kept secret.
You're talking through your hat, fella.
The Liberty Lobby trial established without question Howard Hunt was in
Dallas on the 21st and 22. And who are these "multiple witnesses" who
claimed he wasn't?
Can you name one?
Finally, if Hunt's presence in Dallas was "irrelevant," as you say, why
did CIA top dogs Angleton and Helms initial a 1966 interoffice memo that
read: "We are going to have to explain why Hunt was in Dallas."?
Let me take a wild guess here:
You're a Lone Nutter, aren't you?
I have my doubts about a lone nut and certainly have doubts about the
WC.
But let us turn this around and wonder why just because you are a CT
that you have to believe the Rosenberg couple was innocent. Does
evidence ever enter into your thinking?
Bill Clarke
The Rosenberg's were guilty as hell.
You miss the point.
Hunt could not be in Dallas on 11-22-63. He was supervising the Kennedy
assassination from the Quarters Eye in Washington.

You miss the point. Various conspiracies have remained hidden for many
years.
LHO's prints belong at the sniper's nest. He worked there daily, you
know. And it was his rifle, so naturally his prints would be on it. I
bet we could find your prints where YOU work, that is if you actually work.

I never linked it to the JFK assassination. It is but one example of
secret operations that the public knew nothing about for more than 40 years.
You're flat wrong, which means McAdams' site has it flat wrong; and this
isn't the first time I've shown this.
First, please provide the link you reference from the McAdams' site above.
Second, please provide the names of six people who claim Hunt was in
Washington, DC.
Third, the Rockefeller Commission did not exonerate Hunt on the question
of his whereabouts on Nov. 22. This was in part because relevant CIA
records were not available to the Rockefeller Commission. However, by
the time of the Liberty Lobby trial (1985) these records were available.
Specifically, CIA payroll records showing Hunt was absent from his
office for key periods of time, on "sick leave" I believe. This was
roughly a 48 hours, or there abouts.
Fourth, not one witness -- including his family members -- confirmed he
was in Washington, DC. on nov 22; and we know this with certainty
because an odd thing about the Kennedy assassination is this: everyone
knows where they were when they first heard about it. Point being,
anyone who says, I don't know where I was when I heard Kennedy was shot,
is probably lying.
But to continue...
Mark Lane skillfully used Hunt's testimony before the Rockefeller
Commission to hang him. Hunt had told the Commission that sometime after
the assassination when accusations were being made he was one of the
shooters, he had to swear to his kids he wasn't in Dallas on Nov. 22.
But, Hunt had also testified to the Rockerfeller Commission he was with
his family on Nov. 22.
See the problem with that? If you do you're smarter than anyone on the
Rockerfeller Commission because none of them caught it. In fact, for
years Hunt kept telling these two lies until Lane nailed him to the wall:
"Mr. Hunt, if you were with your children on Nov. 22, why did you have
to swear to them you weren't in Dallas on Nov. 22?"
Hunt's jaw dropped.
Finally, no one -- NO ONE! -- testified they actually saw Hunt in DC on
nov. 22, and I defy you, McAdams, or Vince the Bug to produce the name
of one person who did.

Oswald's prints "belong at the sniper's nest"??? That's the first time
I've heard anybody phrase it exactly like that. And, frankly, it's a
stupid way to phrase it, IMO.
On a daily basis, CTers continue to dismiss and/or ignore the amazing
BUILD-UP of the TOTALITY of the print/shell/rifle/paper bag evidence
that was ALL OSWALD'S AND ONLY OSWALD'S on that 6th Floor on November
22nd.
What are the odds of Oswald actually NOT being at that SN window at
12:30 on 11/22/63? The odds of him not being there must be almost a
negative number. Because, given the sum total of "OZ WAS HERE"
evidence, it's obvious that Lee Harvey Oswald WAS at that window, and
WAS firing a rifle at JFK at 12:30. .....
1.) Oswald's prints are the ONLY *IDENTIFIABLE* FRESH PRINTS on TWO
different boxes located DEEP inside the Sniper's Nest.
2.) Shells from Oswald's gun are in the Nest.
3.) Oswald's own gun is on the same 6th Floor (near the staircase,
which Oswald would have had to use to escape the sixth floor, due to
the elevators being on the FIFTH floor at that point in time).
4.) Witnesses physically SEE an "Oswald-like" person either shooting
at JFK's car or they see an "Oswald-like" person at the window just
seconds prior to the motorcade's arrival in the Plaza.
5.) And an empty paper sack (similar in handmade taped-up style to the
one seen being carried by LHO that morning) is in the Nest too....and
that bag has two of Oswald's prints on it!*
* = Number 5 above is, IMO, the kicker...i.e., the thing that
positively should tell any reasonable person that Lee Oswald was there
in that Sniper's Nest at 12:30 on Nov. 22nd.
HIS PRINTS ARE ON AN ITEM (AN *EMPTY* PAPER BAG) THAT HAS NO LOGICAL,
REASONABLE, AND *INNOCENT* REASON FOR BEING WHERE IT WAS FOUND SHORTLY
AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S MURDER!
Lee Harvey Oswald inadvertently signed his own name to the President's
murder. Many times over in fact! And he HIMSELF practically told the
world he was guilty, just as Vincent Bugliosi correctly pointed out in
a courtroom in 1986.....
"When he was interrogated, Oswald, from his own lips, he TOLD us he
was guilty....he told us he was guilty....almost the same as if he had
said 'I murdered President Kennedy'....he told us. How did he tell us?
Well, the lies he told, one after another, showed an UNMISTAKABLE
consciousness of guilt. If Oswald were innocent, why did he find it
necessary to deny purchasing that Carcano rifle from the Klein's store
in Chicago? Why did he even deny owning any rifle at all? Why did he
find it necessary to do that if he's innocent?" -- V. Bug.
