Critics post evidence in this forum, and believers simply run away, if
they aren't just denying the facts.

The complete inability of believers to post their scenario, and
support it with the evidence as critics do - tells the tale.

This explains why the vast majority of Americans don't believe the
WCR.

And they aren't even aware that the WCR flat lied.

Just the inability of anyone to put their scenario down in print, and
defend it with the supporting evidence, is all the American people
need to make their judgment.

The fact is conspiracy mongers have nothing to offer.

You are simply lying, no conspiracy advocate has offered an explanation for this event and they never will.

Without even reading it.

They aren`t even aware of the name of the plaza Kennedy was shot in. Who was in the limo.

Not sure why you think the opinions of ignorant people is significant. They think something fishy happened, big deal.

You haven`t given the American people anything to hang their hat on. Something else happened somehow is an explanation that explains nothing.

If you read 10 different conspiracy hobbyists they will give you 10 different explanations as to what happened. They'll give you even more then 10 if you ask them again later. It changes every day. It's been nearly 60 years and they can't agree on who really killed JFK - the Birchers, the CIA, the Pentagon, anti-Castro Cubans - or even who Oswald was. Was Oswald a CIA agent? An FBI asset? A nobody? One of the conspirators or just a ordinary worker? They don't agree. It's also why they attack each other and call each other "disinformation agents."
What they are doing is, as you said before, reverse engineering their conspiracy. They start with their conspiracy - the CIA! the Birchers! the Cold War Militarists! - and then select facts to fit that theory. Ignoring everything else along the way. As in: JFK was killed by the right wing Cold War militarists who took over power after WWII. Why? To stop his liberal agenda. But then LBJ became president and continued with that agenda. So what was the reason to kill JFK? It's illogical. But it doesn't have to make sense as long as it satisfies the original conspiracy theory. Reverse engineering at its finest.

Logical fallacy.

No, that's a lie. We start with the EVIDENCE.

When lies and logical fallacies are all you have, it's no wonder
you're terrified of debate with a knowledgeable critic.

The EVIDENCE is the same for everyone. It is the ideas about the evidence and what it means where the differences come in.

The other aspect of reverse engineering is treating the static evidence as building blocks to create rather than understand. That they come up with different creations is to be expected, just like handing the same box of crayons to a group of kids will yield a variety of different creations. It is a silly hobby, one that has made no progress because there is really no where for it to go.

Indeed it is. But critics analyze it, believers simply accept what
the WC said it meant.

And in accepting what the WC said, you contradict the plain
explanation of the evidence.

you can't. You simply don't have the facts on your side.

Evidence which leads you to believe that on 11/22/63, something else happened, somehow?
>

Your collection of JFK conspiracy hobby points doesn't make you a knowledgeable critic any more than building Estes model rocket ships makes you an aerospace aerodynamics engineer. Assemble your JFK conspiracy evidence, run tests for your conspiracy hypothesis, SHARE your tests online, INVITE criticism, be humble enough to drop what is shown as impossible, and MOVE ON from the everybody-is-in-on-it approach and NARROW DOWN the possibilities. This is how CRIMES are solved.

An arrest was just made in the "Idaho 4" stabbings murders. The cops started out with a large list of possible suspects and reasons but NARROWED DOWN their search based on the evidence. They no longer suspect a drug deal gone bad as a reason for the killings. They no longer suspect the fraternity near the murder home as the source from where the killer originated. They eliminated the roommates who were not harmed as potential killers. They no longer suspect the ex-boyfriend of one of the victims as the killer. They no longer suspect a student caught on video at a food truck after bar hours as the killer.

Instead, they have this guy who was arrested on December 30th for the killings--Bryan Kohberger--apparently because DNA left at the crime scene was traced back to him. The Team Oswald approach would be to claim the DNA was planted, and for others to prove them wrong to their satisfaction. They apparently found a white Hyundai Elantra at the home he was arrested at, and this matches video of a car identified as such speeding away from the crime this past November 13th. The Team Oswald approach would be to claim the video evidence was altered and for others to prove them wrong to their satisfaction. No doubt there is other evidence tying him to the crime, perhaps electronic, in the form of his cellphone ID'd as in the area, and other data, too. Should the cops keep investigating the fraternity, the ex-boyfriend, the roommates, the drug deal gone bad hypothesis, the student at the food truck, and so on? Team Oswald would no doubt approach it this way, and would add in countless other suspects and motives, all needing to proven wrong to their standards, an impossible task.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. YOU are not a conspiracy theorist. You do not have a conspiracy THEORY. You have no interest in SOLVING the JFK murder. You are infected with the disease known as CONSPIRACISM; everybody was in on it, and the possibilities are nearly endless, EXCEPT Oswald as the killer. If Lee Harvey Oswald had said on camera that he alone was responsible for the mayhem on 11/22/63, you'd still be here, claiming he was a Manchurian Candidate-style killer, that he was put up to it, that there was another shooter on the knoll that Oswald wasn't aware of, and on and on. Look at 9/11; the conspiracy crowd was given a conspiracy involving nineteen Muslim Jihadi terrorists, and yet THAT wasn't enough. They conjure up a Jewish WTC owner--Larry Silverstein as an apparent co-conspirator with the Muslim terrorists or the FDNY or NY Port Authority. They mix in coordinating airplane strikes with planted demolitions, and Halliburton money, and Bushitler/Cheney, and on and on. Your fellow kook Boris the Truther believes Building 7 was "pulled" for insurance money reasons or something. It's all bullshit, yet it persists.

This is a hobby for you, no different than building the Estes model rocket ships I mentioned, but thankfully, few who build those little toy rockets consider themselves "experts" in rocket aerodynamics.

Make your New Year's Resolution that this was the year you became more humble, and make 2023 the year you stopped the arrogant prick routine that marks you as nothing more than a thin-skinned cyberbully hobbyist. JFK was only killed ONE WAY.

Sixty years this November 22nd, Ben. SIXTY YEARS, and Team Oswald can't agree on ANYTHING specific. We might as well be discussing the Jack the Ripper murders. That should tell you something, but in your mind, it just means there's more "work" to be done, like arguing online that unnamed snipers killed JFK from unspecified locations, firing unknown model weapons with unknown caliber bullets.

Team Warren Commission forgets that the government has been investigating Donald Trump for 5 or 6 years without closure,
but the same government closed the murder of President Kennedy in just TWO WEEKS.

And they closed that case befoore they were finished interviewing all of their witnesses, which went on well into 1964.

That's some investgating.

More nonsense from Team Oswald.

Put up a case, dammit. I've spent some time at your JFK website. You think Oswald was a totally innocent patsy, nearly SIXTY YEARS after the event with perhaps 99.7% of all the known documents, etc. available for review. You are off in the far fringes of JFK Conspiracyville with Ben and a few others at this joke of a discussion board. Give me a shooting sequence. I want to see tests. I want to see consilience in your evidence. Where is it? Where are the tests from Team Oswald showing shots through the limo windshield from the front of JFK? Where are the tests for 6-8 shots in the plaza with the vast majority of your earwitnesses claiming only three shots were heard? Where are the tests with 1963 equipment that shows how to alter film Zapruder used? How about the JFK body-snatching claim to alter the wounds? Where are the medical tests that show how wounds can be "altered" with rigor mortis setting in on JFK's cold, lifeless body?

Stop SHIFTING THE BURDEN.

The laziest people I have ever heard of are JFK conspiracy researchers. None of you want to lift a finger to even test if your far-fetched claims have validity.

Why? I know why, of course. The tests would kill your hobby. You'd finally be forced to look in the mirror as an old man and confront the idea that you've wasted DECADES on a snipe hunt of epic proportions.

And that's too painful for you.

They didn't actually change any of their original points listed on
their "outline" written before they'd spoken to a single witness.

An "investigation" that simply confirms an outline of the case written
before any actual investigation just proves one of two things:

1. There was no "investigation" worthy of the name.

or

2. The author of the outline accurately predicted the future in great
detail.

Watch folks, as not a SINGLE believer addresses this point.

Most Americans, most literate people who can read English, would
understand that this meant the first two weeks following the
assassination.

But you can't address that fact... so you simply post a logical
fallacy.

With a few disputes about their conclusions, some of which I’d laid out here and elsewhere, my scenario / conclusions - from the eyewitness and exert testimony - can be found at this link:
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wr/contents.htm

Much of the evidence supporting that conclusion can be found here:
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/contents.htm

Note these are not my interpretations of the evidence. My conclusions rely on the testimony of the majority of the witnesses (not the exceptions) and the expert testimony (not my interpretations of the expert testimony).

How many of that vast majority have read it? What’s the opinion of *those* people? The only people who are *qualified* to have an opinion on the Warren Commission’s final report are those who have read it. Do you disagree?

I would think they would need to be familiar with the evidence to render a *qualified* opinion. But maybe you favor “verdict first, evidence later (or not at all)”.

I pointed out some of the problems with the first link in your Part 1 here:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/qwScRqHe3HM/m/IibY9tOZAAAJ

when I wrote this:
— quote —
You[r] first part presents this as the first link:
http://thechicagoplot.com/The%20Chicago%20Plot.pdf

It has a bunch of assertions presented as fact. But no evidence is cited to support those assertions that I can see. So yeah, I guess this is right in your wheelhouse -- that's pretty much all you do, assert stuff but fail to prove any of it.

I didn't read beyond the first link in your part one. We'll await the evidence for this scenario:
http://thechicagoplot.com/The%20Chicago%20Plot.pdf

Based on your history, I honestly don't expect any will be forthcoming.

Go ahead, surprise us. Or not. I know what the odds are.

And of course, no surprise here, but the above "Chicago Plot" link concludes with: "Prove the conspiracy never happened."

Which is of course a whopper of a logical fallacy. You should know by now (you've been told frequently enough) that shifting the burden of proof is a logical fallacy, and yet, here you are, citing a story with no documentation that does exactly that, makes a bunch of unsourced assertions and asks that the story be disproven.

Does the rest of part one get any better? Are the other parts of your scenario equally [cough] "well documented"?
— unquote —

The fact that you failed to provide *any evidence* to support the assertions in the first link in your “Part 1” establishes you have no interest in evidence, just in conspiracy claims.


>
> The rest of your logical fallacy rant has been deleted...

You alway run from points you cannot rebut, and justify that running by calling everything you delete a logical fallacy. But that assertion is just another unproven claim on your part.

You are, of course, simply lying.

I most often post EVIDENCE - and you simply run.

No Huckster... until **YOU** personally correct other believers when

something we critics aren't "allowed" to do.

Because this is what believers demand of us.

Still you.

You make unsupported assertions about that evidence. Then you pretend those unsupported assertions need rebuttal. They don`t.

If you claim a discussion hasn`t taken place then it is fine to link to it to show that it has, stupid.
