MORE CRAZINESS FROM JAMES DiEUGENIO (IGNORING THE KNOWN EVIDENCE IS BECOMING A HABIT WITH JIM)

This post is being written to provide some additional laughs at the
expense of conspiracy kook James DiEugenio. I felt compelled to write
this article after hearing some more of DiEugenio's absurd comments on
the Black Op Radio program of February 11, 2010 [linked above].

As incredible as it seems, DiEugenio actually said this:

"I'm not even sure they [the real killers of JFK, not Lee Harvey
Oswald, naturally] were on the sixth floor [of the Book Depository]. I
mean, they might have been. But what's the definitive evidence that
the hit team was on the sixth floor? .... If they WERE on the sixth
floor, they could have been at the other [west] end. .... And I've
always suspected there was a sniper in the Dal-Tex Building." -- James
DiEugenio

Allow me to repeat these words again, just so the idiocy of them can
sink in a little deeper (and, after all, a quote this ridiculous and
ludicrous deserves an instant replay anyway):

"I'M NOT EVEN SURE THEY WERE ON THE SIXTH FLOOR. .... WHAT'S THE
DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE HIT TEAM WAS ON THE SIXTH FLOOR?" -- Jim
DiEugenio; February 11th, 2010

So, once again, a conspiracy theorist (DiEugenio) has decided to turn
white into black and day into night and reality into fantasy by
TOTALLY IGNORING THE EVIDENCE IN THE JFK CASE.

DiEugenio has decided to completely ignore the mountain of physical
evidence and eyewitness testimony that exists in this case that
conclusively PROVES beyond any and all doubt that President Kennedy's
assassin was shooting from the SIXTH FLOOR of the Texas School Book
Depository on November 22, 1963.

And DiEugenio, without a speck of evidence or proof of any kind, has
decided to place a gunman in a building other than the Book Depository
-- the Dal-Tex Building.

DiEugenio undoubtedly knows (or he should know) that he has dug a very
large hole for himself by attempting to remove the gunman from the
sixth floor of the TSBD. Because by attempting to do that, DiEugenio
has no choice but to call several witnesses liars (or boobs), and he
has to pretend that all of the physical evidence that was found on the
sixth floor is tainted or planted evidence (e.g., Oswald's rifle, the
three bullet shells found in the Sniper's Nest, and the paper bag with
Oswald's prints on it).

And, according to DiEugenio, the witnesses who were all wrong (or were
liars) when it came to seeing a rifle protruding from the southeast
corner window on the SIXTH FLOOR of the Depository at the exact time
when President Kennedy was being murdered by rifle bullets include the
following people -- Howard Brennan, Mal Couch, Amos Euins, Robert
Jackson, and James Worrell.*

* = Worrell's Warren Commission testimony isn't quite as definitive as
the other witnesses regarding the precise floor where the rifle was
located, but that's understandable considering where Worrell was
standing when he saw the rifle sticking out of an upper-story window.
But Worrell did narrow it down to the fifth or sixth floor:

"I am not too sure, but I told the FBI it [the rifle] was either
in the fifth or the sixth floor on the far corner, on the east side."
-- James R. Worrell, Jr.; 1964 WC Testimony

So, it couldn't be any more obvious that SOMEBODY was firing a rifle
out of a sixth-floor window of the TSBD during the assassination. But,
somehow, Jim DiEugenio seems to have some doubts about whether ANYBODY
AT ALL was really shooting from that floor!

Jim, you're unbelievable.

------------------

Here's another gem from Jim (which forces DiEugenio to ignore more
witness statements and testimony):

"There's two elevators in that building [the TSBD]...and that
could have been one way that they [JFK's real killers, not Oswald,
naturally, per DiEugenio] did get away." -- James DiEugenio

The above comment by Jim D. forces him to call both Roy Truly and
Officer Marrion Baker liars, because both of those men testified that
the two freight elevators (which are the "two elevators" that
DiEugenio had to be referring to in the above quote) were stuck on an
upper floor of the building (probably the fifth floor) when they
attempted to use those elevators within approximately one minute of
the shots being fired in Dealey Plaza.

Or perhaps DiEugenio wants to theorize that the "real killers" (none
of which Jim thinks was Lee H. Oswald, of course) were somehow able to
escape via the freight elevators down to the first floor, with both of
those elevators then returning to the upper floors of the building
(and getting stuck there)....all within ONE MINUTE of the
assassination.

I guess it must be satisfying to be a conspiracy theorist like James
DiEugenio--you can simply MAKE UP all kinds of unprovable garbage,
such as placing unseen gunmen in various buildings around Dealey Plaza
and moving the KNOWN GUNMAN from the east side of the Depository's
sixth floor to any other location you'd care to choose.

And after twisting and distorting the evidence so that it can't be
recognized anymore, the best part is --- YOU'LL GET PATTED ON THE BACK
BY YOUR FELLOW CONSPIRACY KOOKS FOR DOING IT!

Nice hobby, huh?

In reality, of course, it's thoroughly despicable and outrageous
behavior. But try to tell that to a conspiracy theorist who thrives on
imaginative tales and baseless suspicions. Try to tell that to Jim
DiEugenio. What you'll likely get in return is a goofy giggle and
another round of the kooky game known as "Let's Pretend Oswald Was
Innocent".

I hope everybody will take note of James DiEugenio's trip deeper and
deeper into "Kookville". As time marches on, Jim sinks further into
that kook-filled region:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy.jfk/browse_thread/thread/05a7cb1e9c06ebbc

Naturally, of course, people who spout ridiculous untruths and
speculation (like DiEugenio does, year after year, on Black Op Radio)
will get the high-fives from their teammates on the kook bench. But I
find it amazing to note at how deep into la-la conspiracy-land Mr.
DiEugenio has sunk...e.g.,

1.) DiEugenio thinks Lee Harvey Oswald didn't fire a shot at President
Kennedy on 11/22/63.

2.) DiEugenio thinks Lee Harvey Oswald didn't fire a shot at Officer
J.D. Tippit on 11/22/63.

3.) DiEugenio still supports Jim Garrison's theories here in the 21st
century. (Big LOL right off the bat here.)

4.) DiEugenio thinks CLAY SHAW called Dean Andrews right after JFK's
murder.

5.) DiEugenio thinks Lee Oswald didn't carry ANY LARGE BAG to work on
11/22/63.

6.) DiEugenio thinks Buell Wesley Frazier and Linnie Mae Randle were
liars.

7.) DiEugenio thinks Marrion Baker and Roy Truly were liars. (The
story each of those two men told about their "Lunchroom Encounter"
with Oswald is not to be believed at all, per a nut named Jim D.)

8.) DiEugenio thinks it's quite possible that there wasn't ANYBODY AT
ALL shooting at JFK from the sixth floor of the TSBD on 11/22/63.

9.) DiEugenio thinks Ruth Paine is "suspicious" and should have been
interviewed in depth by the Assassination Records Review Board in the
mid-1990s. And Jim has said he "will never forgive them" [the ARRB]
for not taking the testimony of Ruth Paine, even though (of course)
the ARRB was not created to do ANY INVESTIGATION INTO PRESIDENT
KENNEDY'S ASSASSINATION WHATSOEVER.

The ARRB was not an "investigative" committee. But, for some reason
that I will never understand, Jeremy Gunn (and ARRB Chairman John
Tunheim too, I guess) was/were talked into taking testimony from
various medical witnesses, even though the ONLY thing the ARRB was
responsible for was overseeing the release to the public of the
various records and documents concerning JFK's assassination. Nothing
more.

But thanks to a mega-kook named Douglas P. Horne, who joined the ARRB
staff a year or two after it was originally created, apparently the
ARRB's mandate and scope changed significantly. And I can't help but
ask (and wonder) -- Why?

"I guess it must be satisfying to be a conspiracy theorist like
