More from the sophist, David Von Pein:
"In addition, Cinque is also apparently not capable of figuring out that
Lovelady's arrow in CE369 has to be pointing to the same person in the
Altgens picture that Wes Frazier's arrow is pointing to. We know this to
be a fact because of these words spoken by Joe Ball -- "And one in the
white pointing toward you."
Von Pein continues to treat Joseph Ball as though he is unimpeachable. He
acts as though I am obliged to treat him like Solomon. Joseph Ball was an
active participant in the cover-up, and the idea that his verbal parsings
bind us is ridiculous.
Lovelady told us in two ways that he was Black Hole Man. #1: He drew the
arrow to Black Hole Man to indicate himself, and keep in mind that David
Von Pein is not offering an alternative arrow. He does not claim to have
found Lovelady's arrow. He just assumes that it must be there somewhere
pointing to Doorway Man even though there isn't a hint of it. #2: Lovelady
described his position as the "far left" of the doorway, which was BH
Man's position, not Doorway Man's position.
I suppose that one could point out that when Joseph Ball said, "And one in
the white pointing toward you" Billy Lovelady didn't interrupt him and
say, "What are you talking about? That arrow in the white is NOT pointing
to me."
So, why didn't he? I'd say it was because he was intimidated. After all,
they gave him a photo to draw an arrow on which already had an arrow on
it. He must have known what the "right" answer was- to them. And we know
very well that he went on to adopt the very role that they expected of
him.
So, the fact is, that Billy Lovelady was weak-willed. He didn't have much
backbone. And he ultimately gave in to them- completely. But at that
point, he was still trying to tell the truth- but without making a scene.
He wasn't looking for confrontation with Joseph Ball or anyone else. He
just wanted to get out of there and go home.
But, the most glaring lunacy in Von Pein's attitude is that we should
determine the location of an arrow on a photo by parsing someone's words-
and not even the person who drew the arrow but someone else.
But, we have the photograph. We don't have to rely on anyone's words. I
demonstrated quite solidly that the head of Frazier's arrow is visible
even though it was black and black.
There is only one ratoinal recourse for Von Pein, and that is to provide
visual evidence of Lovelady's arrow somewhere else. But, his retort to my
viosual evidence is just to parse Ball's words. And that shows you that he
is bluffing. He has got nothing.
DVP: "Cinque, however, needs to be talked through this stuff like a
kindergartner. But since the arrow drawn by Frazier (the one "in the
white") is "pointing toward you [Billy Lovelady]", then it obviously means
that the figure commonly known as "Doorway Man" IS Billy Nolan Lovelady.
The word "YOU" being the key word that Cinque tries to ignore."
Cinque: I'm not ignoring it, but those are Ball's words, not Lovelady's.
Ball was describing what he desperately wanted, not what was there. Why
did Ball instruct Lovelady to draw an invisible arrow, black on black?
Aren't arrows supposed to be seen? The very act of having them draw on the
same photo was incongruous, but why wouldn't he at least make sure that
both arrows were visible and distinguishable? The fact that Ball did it
the way that he did proves that he was corrupt; it wasn't open and honest;
it was devious. It was Machiavellian.
DVP: "So, Ralph, do you think that Lovelady was acknowledging in his WC
session that he was in TWO different places at the same time in the CE369
photo?"
Cinque: Lovelady was AFRAID to come right out and tell the truth, that is,
to directly contradict Ball to his face. You can think of Lovelady like
Dorothy when she first visited the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. But,
what Lovelady did do was draw a tiny arrow to BH Man to indicate himself.
And he described his position as being "far left." Either one alone was
sufficient to establish that he wasn't Doorway Man, but we have both.
DVP: "Lovelady HEARS Ball say "pointing toward you" when referring to the
arrow that is "in the white". There can be only ONE "you" [i.e., Lovelady]
in CE369. And it couldn't be more obvious who the "you" is in the Altgens
photograph."
Cinque: What it really comes down to is that Billy Lovelady was not the
kind of personality to stand up to Joseph Ball and defy him. Joseph Ball
represented the government, the US government. That's the govt that had
arrested and prosecuted Billy Lovelady and incarcerated him for a while.
Lovelady was walking a fine line that day. He wanted to be truthful, and
he also wanted not to make waves, not to make a scene, not to invite
turmoil into his life. He wasn't looking to grapple with that kind of
power and authority. But, he also didn't want to draw an arrow to someone
else other than himself. It would be hard to do that, don't you think?
Imagine if you were asked to draw an arrow to youself. Wouldn't it be hard
to draw it to another person? Even if you were fearful, every instinct you
had would make you want to draw it to yourself. Few people are able to
deny their own selves, their own identity. This, indeed, is the arrow that
Billy drew; there is no other arrow to attribute to him.
