I wonder whether our co-participant Mitch decided to deport himself to the
JFK Assassination forum, where he normally hangs out. Perhaps he and
Duncan decided to become exclusive? :-)

Previous-Subject: Strangers in the night, exchanging roses ...

Even before my days at MIT (*) I was aware of the tremendous pressure
therein. No, I am not talking about the well known saying:

“Getting a degree at MIT is like drinking water out of a
firehose”

I am referring to pressure of a more dangerous nature: that of the mind.
Divorces are rather common (including mine), there is a very active
suicide line, etc.

Back in Venezuela, as a teenager, I was already reading about the area.
Route 128/95 -Tony will explain the dichotomy- was called “The
Golden Horseshoe” since so many fortunes have been made in the
birthplace of LAN, minicomputers, the Media Lab (current employer of Sir
Timothy John Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web), BBN, et
cetera.

I know I keep on saying: “MIT, Stanford, numbers, numbers,
numbers”. As if that is the only discipline that matters. Well, I
was partially wrong: The emotional aspect is an inseparable component.
Mental health specialists should be invited to join this common endeavor.

For my first Christmas there (1987) my wife and I were invited to the
Course I Department party. It was held in Endicott House, which was
donated by the family that made their fortune in shoes (those same
machines were later adapted to assemble printed circuit boards). The
similarity with the movie “Jumanji” is uncanny, it is
simply unbelievable. Endicott House portraits heads of African animals on
the walls.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113497/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Some of the techniques suggested (by Harvard psychologists, of course) to
lower the stress were like these two:

- While a professor went -much like JFK Numbers in the Alec Baldwin
banquet- “Equations this, and formulas that, blah, blah,
blah”, one of his students, Barbara, was between her boss and
the audience, facing us, pulling out signs like “He is
lying”, "Am I the only one getting bored?", etc. We of course,
LOLd.

But this was the best. Ignacio Rodriguez Iturbe is one of the most
prominent scientists from Venezuela, he used to “commute”
back and forth between teaching at Simon Bolivar University (every country
has an MIT) and teaching at Cambridge. The demand from the mob audience
(his tortured students) at Endicott House was this:

- "Ignacio and Dennis (McLaughlin, my boss) will dance and exchange a
rose between their teeth"

Ignacio was clearly nervous, not because his partner's embrace was too
tight or anything like that. He kept on looking Jackie and I (only Latinos
present) out of the corner of his eye. You see, Latin America is not
Greece, two men dancing is not very orthodox. He had been recently
humiliated, tried to run for USB university's president and was badly
defeated. A comment that he was interchanging saliva in the US, spread at
Internet speed to Caracas, was probably not high on his list of How to
Improve Your Reputation (Not that he needed it!).

What is the purpose of this post, you ask?

It is a response to Mitch Todd's demands. Look, Mitch: I can pretty much
do whatever logical, reasonable action that The People demand from the
Notable Doctors of the CT persuasion. That said, I doubt that they will be
willing to perform that dancing exchange, just for your amusement. If you
like dancing bears and a circus act, you have to talk to the Trumpsters.

Other than that undulating mano-a-mano, what exactly do you want them to
do? Just write it down, let's debate it.

I will be happy to forward your request to them. The more signatures the
better. In fact, rest assured that they will read this post. Is McAdams an
acceptable witness?

I wrote:

"Other than that undulating dente-a-dente"

Oh, I'm still 'round and about. Just not always. And usenet has
been my normal haunt for JFK stuff since before alt.conspiracy.jfk
was carved out of a.c.jfk. Duncan's forum is the new gig.

Anyway, Here's the deal, as concisely as I can do this time of night:

1.) You keep promising All These Wonderful Things.

2.) As Mr Iacoletti noted on the other board, you've been
promising All These Wonderful Things for quite a while
now, with not much to show for it. Or, as he called it,
vaporware.

3.) You seem to me to have little or no understanding of the
various scientific and technical subjects underlying All
These Wonderful Things. That seems to me to be something
of a handicap.

4.) So far, getting you to specifically nail down who is
actually and actively taking part in these endeavors
generally result in roundabout, effusive, often even
nebulous responses that don't really seem to answer the
question. In fact, they appear to be constructed to
say a lot while not giving up too much information.
Eventually, you'll cough up the goods, but it never
sounds as good in the end as it does in the beginning.

5.) You also seem to try to speak for others --"The People"
in particular-- without demonstrating any good basis for
that authority,all the while while simultaneously
professing your humility.

I honestly don't know how it all adds up. You seem well enough
intentioned, but your style seems to either confuse people or raise red
flags, including precisely those whom you're trying to appeal to. That
would seem to limit the appeal of your appeals, and might explain why you
don't seem to have the teeming masses beating a path to your door.

Yep. And even as a person who can sometimes be accused of saying more than
is necessary to make a point, I can honestly say I have never seen anyone
write more words with less useful information being imparted than Ramon.
Too much of what he says is either incomprehensible, or just doesn't add
up to his grandiose claims.

Generic, unsubstantiated accusations, sure sign of the Trampista.

Care to clarify exactly which scientific and technical matters I ignore?
After you do that, I will add several dozen to the list.

I hate to disappoint, but you people (specially CTs) are stuck with me.
:-( I happen to be not only the best but the ONLY human resource left to
the JFK community, in the numerical aspect.

I have never, ever, ever claimed to be a scientist, not even a
researcher. I won't even deserve a footnote. At the most some sort of
finder's fee.

My *proposals* are:

(1) Obtain the most accurate possible digital copy of the X-rays -as a
minimum for *preservation* purposes- to be followed by some obvious
studies by the best scientists on planer earth. They have been located and
identified frequently. Feel free to find more. Their contact info and
phone numbers are available. Wanna call them? Report that Ramon has been
spreading bullshit about them? Be my guest!

(2) Create a Free Open 3D model of the Plaza. The most accurate laser data
ever collected was donated to JFK Numbers (therefore, to *you*). Feel free
to grab some files, heck, all of them, and create a competing site. No
need to acknowledge anything.

http://www.dealey-plaza.org/this-government-as-promised/

Pray tell: which one do you hate the most?

I don't have to be involved in either project. In fact, why don't some
of you deniers take over?

Oh, here's an idea: The most daring/motivated/leader types among you
should lobby the Notable Doctors of the LN persuasion with words such as:

"Those wacko doctors are getting together. Let's take the lead and take
over that project. We will send the X-rays to some real scientists to
demonstrate that they are legitimate. The 3D model will confirm once and
for all what we all knew: Lee, alone, 3 shots. We will humiliate them
until the end of time!"

[just a suggestion: as in the petition, you may use your own words]

Next time, have the minimum class to address my points, specifically,
like I am doing with yours. Item by item, as I propose to answer the
awful PBS Nova documentary that you applaud so much.

Mitch & BT George:

I just came up with a better reply for the discontent duo. Let's begin
with the digitalization of the 3 X-rays.

The following Notable Doctors are ready to co-sign the petition to the
Kennedys. You don't have to believe me. I am sure that if enough of us
request it, professor McAdams will be glad to be an intermediary and
forward any questions you may have to them.

- Dr. Gary Aguilar
- Dr. Michael Chesser
- Dr. David Mantik
- Joseph Riley, PhD
- Dr. Randolph Robertson
- Dr. Cyril Wecht

I used to correspond with the scientists indicated below, for the "Ich Bin
Ein Berliner" project. It was very relaxed and informative. However, since
the project has become more conflictive and accompanied by the inevitable
issues brought by getting closer to the hard reality, I rather make
Hans-Christian transatlantic calls from Houston at dawn. Last time we
spoke, he gave told me the annual price tag/stipend for a PhD student. He
warned me that Euros are more valuable than dollars and the institute's
cut is even higher. All those computers and CT equipment are not cheap.
For over a year I have been warning CAPA about this.

http://www.zib.de/projects/3d-reconstruction-anatomical-structures-2d-x-ray-images

Where is that money coming from? If you ask Tony nicely, he may tell you.

See here the latest e-mail sent to me by Gene Morris, the person that
was designated as my point of contact by the National Archives:

http://www.jfknumbers.org/~ramon/jfk/Gene-Morris-Email-About-Paul-Kirk.png

So, is it your contention that all of the above are following the lead
of a bullshitter? Of a snake oil sweet talking salesman? Boy, you
ascribe some awesome powers of persuasion to silly ole' me.

*Feel free to contact any/all of the above.*

Why hasn't that wonderful project been continued? Ah! You two finally
ask a good question! It was about time ...

I had to inform the Notable Doctors:

"I am sorry, I know that we all are excited about this but I had to
postpone the X-rays and cranium due to recent, unexpected events (the
donation to JFK Numbers of the laser data by the company in charge of
the PBS Nova disappointment)"

Additionally, I decided to change the order of the trips: Boston should be
first (not because I am eager to take the offer of Tony to take me to my
favorite restaurant in the Boston Harbor). The reason is to be as little
disruptive of the status quo as possible. There is no blood involved in
Boston, only the relaxed atmosphere of a library. I am so convinced that
we -the Unified JFK Community- have the proverbial frying pan by the
handle that we have more power now, and -something hated by all righties:

With more power comes more responsibility

Read about "there would be blood on the streets" if you still don't get
it.

When you create your 3D model of Dealey Plaza you will own it and will be
free to make it free and open if that is your choice. People who have done
that work before you are under no obligation to give you that. It is their
property and they can choose to give it to you, sell it to you, or deny it
to you as they see fit.

First, do you realize you are responding to Mitch's portion of my post?

Second, I don't quite know what a "Trampista" is, nor am I a "Trumpista"
if that is what you meant. (I am Christian conservative who for policy
and character reasons couldn't go with Hillary, and for character reasons
alone, could not support Trump. Though my sympathies lie *much* closer to
most of his actual----not Leftist mischaracterized---policies.)

But my politics have absolutely *nothing* to do with my complaint about
your posts. I am sure I speak for *many* when I say that there appears to
be a distinct *gap* between the routine length and grandiosity of most of
your posts, and any useful results or information that has resulted from
your "Oh-so-important-to-the-people!" project.


If you're not familiar with Robert Harris or the poster known around here
as "Gknoll" I recommend you search the NG archives. They too have often
treasured telling us about the importance of their scientific
"discoveries" that they asssure us will overturn the LN case. But oddly,
they seem to consider getting affirmation from us to be a much better use
of their time than focusing all their energies towards obtaining
validation from the law enforcement or the scientific communities.
...Kinda strange that. :-)

Well, the only requirement (imposed for obvious reason by the father of
the initiative) was to have served in the HSCA FPP and/or having received
permission from the Kennedy family to handle the autopsy material. Who did
you expect? The three tenors?

As you may readily surmise I don't exactly hang out with Peter Cummings
and the other LN Notables Doctors. It was hard enough to get the contact
info of the above, through a guy who does detective work and used to hang
out at the "Education" forum.

One of the reasons was to prevent Dale Myers, "scientist" Sturdivan or the
Haags from butting in, offering their unconditional, satisfaction
guaranteed or your money back results.

Would you LN guys (since you sincerely believe in your cause and
specially in yourselves) approach Dr. Cummings?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhX1yiJ_8-0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVo8-1-n078

Here's his contact info:

https://goo.gl/CAFQx5

I am pretty sure that he is not aware of the nasty things that I have
posting about Boston University. If he is, I can always disappear (which I
plan, anyway).

Okay, let's make it interesting (are there bookies around?). I propose
some categories about the response to the cordial, sincere invitation to
be a co-sponsor of the project, gifting a 3D model of the cranium to
America for immortality. He will end up in the history books.

Who wants to bet whether Dr. Cummings will:

(a) Accept the invitation immediately, no questions asked.

(b) Accept it, provided that the digital copies will only be made for
preservation purposes. No further scrutiny is necessary since he had the
last, definite word.

(c) Accept it begrudgingly, only after being pressured and ashamed by
his peers, specially in the medical community.

(d) Adamantly Refuse it (*):

Wrong. That model will not be mine because it was never mine.

What part of

EVERY SINGLE FILE IS IMMEDIATELY PLACED IN A PUBLIC REPOSITORY

don't you get?

http://www.dealey-plaza.org/this-government-as-promised/

You cannot put the toothpaste back into the tube. The cat is out of the
bag.

Sun Microsystems had a great project to compete with MS Office, it was
called OpenOffice and hackers across the land contributed because Sun was
a good company with good people. When the evil Oracle took over OpenOffice
(much like FAUX buying O'Reilly and Geraldo for 30 pieces of silver) many
programmers made a *fork* of the code and set up shop elsewhere (*). They
stuck it to the man.

Oracle cried: "Really? Well, we may not own the code (The People do) but
we own the *name*"

So, I guess the only thing that freeloaders and smoochers like Dale Myers
will not be able to use is the name "Free Open Source 3D Model of Dealey
Plaza" but the rest EVERY SINGLE file is already owned by the Haags,
Sturdivan, Myers and others willing -like Boston University- to sell their
"guaranteed results or your money back" to the high bidder. Preferably

I didn't say that you "ignore" scientific issues, I said that
you don't seem to understand them. I've also never said that
you've claimed to be a scientist or researcher or the like.
For that matter, I'm also not a "Trampista" or a "Trumpista"

idea that I "applauded" a PBS NOVA documentary? If all you have

You claim you have found skips in the Dicatbelt and that Steve and Michael
O'Dell have stopped attacking you---you imply---because they have come to
agree that you are right and just won't admit it. Of course, while I
cannot speak for their motives, it could well be that you have simply
proved *impervious* to counter factuals to your beliefs. IMO your
responses to me showed just that. Imperviousness to the fact that other
forms of evidence have *invalidated* the very necessary *condition* as to
where the open mic had to be.

You also claim (or are clearly implying) that your demonstration will open
the case back up---presumably so the evidence of more than one shooter can
be revived. Now *all* these things (having a "smoking gun" special
theory, imperviousness to flaws in its logic, and claims or intimations
that your adversaries really "know" you are right and have stopped
responding because you silenced them) are *exactly* what Robert Harris has
made a career doing.

So I stand behind the fact that IMO, you are similar to Harris in those
regards. Which is why I placed you with him in telling Ramon how
incongrous his level of efforts to convince this group is, compared with
the apparent level of concrete efforts he is actually exerting to prove us
all wrong by getting outside *validation* from the law enforcement and/or
scientific communities. Are you up for that yet GKnoll, or do you plan to
continue to just try to convice "Lil' ole us"?

I didn't say you didn't answer my questions, per se. I
said your that answers are regularly in the habit of not
actually answering the question. You've come up with a
direct, succinct answer when poked at enough about it,
but it takes quite a wade through the swamp to get to

out of crafting answers that aren't designed to answer
a question, but to deflect attention away from the
question. Maybe you're one of them. I don't know. But
you've made it hard to rule that possibility out.

The problem is, I tend to not associate "logical and

You need to understand you role in this. Here is an example of your role
in this.

Here is a video that I made. I hear the words "try to determine" right
before the words "hold everything secure...". Now I am going to ask you,
do you hear those words, or if you do not hear those words exactly, do you
hear the word "determine"? If say you "Yes" you hear those words, then you
validate it. So you are a Christian, and I suppose you cannot lie, so I am
going to ask you, do you hear those words or something similiar? Do you
think that I am completely off my rocker with this interpretation of the
those words in the location that I say? You are a Christian remember when
you answer those questions.

Don't see much difference but will I go one better.

Not only am I a total a total ignorant of scientific matters, I do not
understand them and frankly I am way over my head. As opposed to people in
this NG and other forums I have done zero research for the simple reason:
I am not qualified.

Hence, I am calling on the only Authoritative Entities: MIT, Stanford,
Harvard, etc. to take their historic responsibility (much like JFK
Numbers had to remind PBS), to grab the *bull* by the horns and work
toward the clarification of the numerical aspect. You have avoided to
state your opinion about the content of this paragraph.

Let's try to separate your fire, which is not only welcome but invited

For the sake of argument: that handicap actually happens to be the most

my sublime ignorance, my lack of understanding and my sincerity
broadcasting it.

The point of the rule is to prevent one poster to harass another by

When somebody openly and overtly uses different names, he is not doing

I listened several times and cannot understand the words clearly enough to
tell you that what you say is there, actually is. I can only tell you
that it sounds at least like what you are saying is there *could* very
well be there.

Now before you think I am giving you and LN answer, understand that Steve
Barber came to both me and David Von Pein and asked if we could confirm if
I could hear the words "In an effort to try to determine" on Channel 2.
David was not able to make that out and I could not even after several
tries. Therefore, I will *never* just tell someone what they want to
hear.

Now I am going to say/repeat this as clearly as I know how:

1) You should not be interested in getting validation from me or anyone
else in this NG if you are convinced you are right. Instead you need
to focus on getting an outside party who can do something about it
interested, and see if they can confirm your claims.

2) I do not believe your effort will be useful in any event. Simply put,
you have not just to convince someone there are skips in the
Dicatabelt, but to convince them it *matters*. This is because Dale
Myers synchronization proved beyond any reasonable doubt that there was
*no* police microphone is place to capture the relevant sounds in
Dealey Plaza. So even if the Dictabelt skipped 1,000 times and
contained every word you say, those words could *not* have been picked
up in Dealey Plaza *during* the assassination.

You may take or leave that advice, but you have been told in 100% honesty
what I think.

Calling it "fetish" says a lot more more about you than about MIT or

One of the most disappointing things I have seen in recent years was The
History Channel's presentation of the Sons of Liberty. That was a program
that could have been so good and was instead so bad. For starters, the
central character was Sam Adams who at the time was middle aged man with a
paunch. They turned him into a lean and mean 30-something action hero. The
antagonist was General Gage whom they portrayed as a one dimensional
brute. He was anything but. In fact his subordinate officers thought his
governance was too lenient toward the colonists. In addition, the British
did not throw colonists out of their homes and take them over as this
program showed General Gage doing with John Hancock. The Quartering Act of
1765 allowed the British to be quartered in vacant barns and houses but no
in residences of the citizens. They also paid rent to the owners of the
properties when this was done.

Naturally any dramatization of a historical event is going to use some
dramatic license but when they completely stray from the reality, they
lose me as this presentation did. I could only stand to watch the first
two episodes before I tuned it out. Of course straying from the reality
has been one of the major criticism's of Oliver Stone's JFK.

That fact has been abundantly clarified. As you may have noticed, I have
a videoclip for every occasion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1vAdyLFtm0

One of the reasons that I did not go to MIT was the fact that I already
had two engineering degrees, from a school in the Show-Me State, known
as "The Conservative's Response to Harvard" (*) It had its advantages
and interesting things:

- Every four years they manage to land a presidential debate. Being in
the center of the country helps, as well as having one of the largest
university endowments.

- The head of my Economics Dept. (almost got a 3rd. degree in Econ)
was Murray Weidenbaum, Chief of Economics Advisors to the Reagan White
House. That is how I get to kick the asset of Clav and other so called
"economic conservatives" who have no clue about capitalism, competition
and free markets, much as their Massa in the WH.

- The Danforth family (of Purina and Daniel Danforth Quayle fame) were
the Alpha males. John (lawyer, pastor, Senator) and bother William (MD).
When Reagan died John Danforth was the pastor invited to preside.

You have to catch up, LNutters. You are not trying hard enough. Here's
some material used by your predecessors, The Deplorables, in the heavily
populated anti-Ramon club:

- "Oh, here comes the president of Harvard! LMAO"

- "Mr. Copy-and-Paste shows up again..."

- "Tell us again how you invented the Internet. Al Gore must be pissed
at you."

- "Ramon keeps on saying that he was in charge of servers at MIT. He
was actually a server, in the student cafeteria. LOL"

- "Ah, another beneficiary of Affirmative Action!"

I am sure I have several more but my automatic debater is resting.

Get on with the program, people!!

-Ramon
JFK Numbers

(*) I had the misfortune of studying there, the university in America with
the lowest percentage of Black students. I could witness the
discrimination with my own eyes. The professors had a group of "favorites"
(guess the ethnicity). I was really disappointed at America, little did I
know that a few months later, I would land a job at The Institute, which I
am fond of calling "My Adoptive Alma Mater". There is between little to
zero racism there, a proud Elitist Meritocracy. That -and other obvious
reasons- is why MIT is the most Authoritative Entity for the JFK Numbers

"Fetish" is thus defined by Mirriam Webster:


1a: an object (such as a small stone carving of an animal)
believed to have magical power to protect or aid its
owner broadly: a material object regarded with
superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence
b: an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion
c: an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence
is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and
that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may
interfere with complete sexual expression
2: FIXATION
3: a rite or cult of fetish worshippers

It should be self-evident that none of those definitions are
congruent by any rational definition of science. And, it's
the science that matters, not the institution.


>Calling it "fetish" says a lot more more about you than about MIT or
>myself.

When you say things like, "it's not science until MIT
is involved," you have an MIT fetish. To have it your
way, Newton, Copernicus, Kepler, Harvey, Leibnitz,
Lavoisier, Maxwell, Darwin, Volta, du Fay, Davy, et al
weren't actually scientists until MIT was founded in
1861. That's quite a stretch, to say the least.

Which means what, exactly?

It's a form of Argument by Authority.
You don't like when it's turned back on you I guess.

I dare you to find *one* counterexample. Just one will do and I will
stand corrected.

Check with Arthur Snyder, Tim Nicholson, John Costella and Pat Speer as
good examples.

Interestingly enough David Lifton is an *engineer* by training and yet
is chasing some crap about "the last witness" that him and only him has
tracked down. He has all but ignored the numerical aspect. Marina is
pissed against the JFK community, refused our invitation to come to
Houston, because of Lifton.

Want me to post the multiple e-mails begging then to continue their
work? I even suggested:

"Hey, at least post a link in your sites saying something like: 'These
folks are involved in the numerical aspect, they are picking up where we
stopped' or words chosen by you"

Reply: Nothing. They are dead as far as activism is related. Aussie John
mentioned his age after whining: "Why does a TV station (PBS) have to be
involved, in Australia is different." He mentioned that the thickness of
the asphalt in Elm Street would make impossible to reach any conclusion.
Right, like that shitty "obstacle" is going to stop me or the MIT at al.
geniuses.

Next, you may want to declare that these two lawyers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH_r1uDCa88&t=143s

actually have a clue about Physics and creation of 3D models and
therefore we should respect their "leading edge" research and "definite
solution" (their words) of the SBT/MBT. [Their files are *proprietary*
and *confidential*]

Oh, they have a paywall:

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/capamocktrial

Oh, speaking of imaginary:

- The most advanced study of the Plaza was done in 2013 by PBS Nova
and the Haags, etc.

- The creators of the 3D models decided that they would not donate
their raw files to 319,999,999 people. One was chosen. No, it was not a
lottery.

Which of the two statements is imaginary?

Read my post: "Who Else is Working on the Numerical Aspect?"

Find ONE person working on the numbers and I will immediately join them
and invite them to join my efforts. Good luck, I have spent 3-4 years
looking.

Oh, back to your silly accusation: My automated debater is getting tired

FROM 1964 going forward, it is not science until MIT is involved.

Exactly how many Venezuelans are on it, I wonder?

That being said, science that worries about
pedigree is not science.

It's called knowing history. And knowing the difference between
science and some poor sap brainlessly repeating someone else's
catchphrase.
