>>> "Dean Jackson is absolutely right." <<<
That'd be a first. Thus far, he hasn't been "right" about a single
thing re. the JFK murder. He's a typical rabid conspiracy
theorist...the type that Bugliosi talks about at length in his book:
============
"One of the principal frailties in the thinking processes of the
theorists is that they rarely ever carry their suspicions, which are
based on some discrepancy, anomaly, or contradiction they find, to
their logical conclusion. If they did, they'd see the 'reductio ad
absurdum' of their position.
"But for them, if something looks suspicious, that's enough. Instead
of asking, "Where does this go?"--that is, where does the discrepancy,
contradiction, or whatever, lead them?--they immediately give their
minds a breather and conclude that what they find is itself proof of a
conspiracy (or proof that Oswald is innocent).
"The discrepancy or contradiction is the ENTIRE story. And being the
entire story, it by itself discredits the entire twenty-six volumes of
the Warren Commission. Nothing else has to be shown or even argued."
-- Vince Bugliosi; On Page #978 of 2007's "Reclaiming History: The
Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy"

============
>>> "Why else would an experienced driver {Bill Greer} bring the {President's} car to a virtual standstill?" <<<
Try considering this for a moment -- Greer hears gunshots. He's
confused. Like a lot of witnesses, he can't really tell where exactly
the shots are coming from. Maybe, he thinks (possibly), they came from
that overpass he's heading straight toward. Would it be a good idea to
drive STRAIGHT INTO MORE GUNFIRE?
It's possible that William Greer had the above thoughts swirling
around in his head during those confused moments when gunfire rang out
in Dealey Plaza.
Yes, the Secret Service was lax and slow and sluggish on November 22,
1963, in Dallas. And, yes, they did a lousy job (ultimately) of
protecting the man they were trained to take a bullet for.
But there is NO WAY IN HELL that the U.S. Secret Service was part of
any "plot" to murder the man they (by all accounts) admired and
adored.
The idea that the Secret Service would WANT to place themselves in a
position where each one of the agents would be ridiculed for the rest
of their lives for not doing a better job in Dallas is just plain
nutty.
But, evidently, the notion that the SS had John Kennedy killed (and
with Agent Greer firing the head shot, to boot!) isn't too crazy a
theory for author Dan Robertson, who has just come out with a new book
on the case...all about how Bill Greer killed JFK. .....
I thought that goofy theory had long since been dismissed as pure
tripe. But, in the true tradition of conspiracy authors like Joan
Mellen (who decided that Jim Garrison's craziness deserved a reprise
in her 2005 book "A Farewell To Justice"), Robertson thinks it's time
to resurrect a theory in book form that is so stupid and so inane and
so impossible that even the kookiest of CTers don't buy it anymore.
But that's another facet to being a true-blue conspiracy-loving kook
-- i.e., living by the motto "Tomorrow's A New Day"; which, to many
rabid CTers really means: "Every Insane JFK Conspiracy Theory Becomes
Fresh And New And POSSIBLE Once More With Each New Sunrise". .....
Pathetic.

My favorite twist on the Greer-did-it theory was that he use a gun
that fired shellfish toxin. Remember that one?

My fav quote: "If Lee Harvey Oswald stood next to God and admitted
I did it, CT's would respond "wow, this is bigger than we thought".
