I have never read one of King's books.

Peter if you do enjoy Kings new book about JFK please pick up a copy of "The Stand"

I promise you that you will enjoy it

It is my favorite King novel and is an amazing read

It is the best

Me neither,(fornit some fornus) Dean!

The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet!

You know your King!

The only problem is that I have no idea what the phrase means!

I've never understood the popularity of Stephen King.

I never understood either

Jim

Is McAdams book worth buying?

And I dont mean worth buying for my research or mind changing theories, I mean for the same reason that I bought Buglisosi or Posner, just to own the books and being able to look up the garbage that they wrote when the book is being discussed

profitizing

Garrison made mistakes no doubt about it

I dont think there is any CT on this forum that supports what Garrison did that would say that he was perfect

That would be absurd

I would like to see it as well

Phelps needs to lighten up a little

No I do not Harry, I was trying to be funny

I guess Phelps has not one funny bone in his body

I was just saying that, in most of the online JFK discussion groups, there are a lot of people with uncompromising positions for or against Garrison, which makes it hard to opine that Garrison was a smart and sincere guy who deeply believed in his case and who peeked under rocks not yet examined, but that he made a few mistakes.

we can opine re Garrison till doomsday, Blackburst... what IS clear is this, lone nuts see the WCR slipping away from them. It ceased being a "report," now it's a contested, flimsy article of blind faith.

"Blackburst"?

Its Roy's real last name

I have one hanging in my living room

Hold on let me get my camera.....

As a book collector I own every single hard cover first edition King book from Carrie to Nightmares and Dreamscapes (I stopped buying them after that)

I will of course buy his new book about the assassination because I love Stephen Kings work

I grew up on King, reading "The Stand" at a young age was something I will never forget, it was my first large book (800+ pages)and it left quite an impression on my young mind, "The Stand" is by far his best work

I also read "IT" around age 12, it scared me to death but I loved it

My point is that even though I dont read any of Kings new stuff I will for sure buy his new book and tear into it right away

My favorite author writting about my favorite subject, it cant get any better then that can it?

Robert Welch in 1958 predicting Insiders plans to destroy America.....

Did JFK pay close attention?

If he did, he did so from heaven.

I agree with you Lee

I believe Hale Boggs and Richard Russell were caught in a place neither of them wanted to be, like you said their personal and families safty would be in jeopardy

In Hale Boggs' case the worst came true

He was silenced forever

Mr. Speer, may your father rest in peace.

I believe your analysis is valid, but bear in mind that it does not apply to Allen Dulles, who lied because he was one of the conspirators, not because of any other reason. He knew Oswald was not the killer.

I feel that Dulles may have been a conspirator. I believe 100% that he knew Oswald was not the killer. With some of the other commissioners, and with some members of the staff, it's possible that some sort of cognitive dissonance was at play, especially when they were probed on matters after the Report was published because the discomfort they are feeling in certain debates is palpable.

For the likes of Dulles the lying was part of who he was. Probably fully justified in his own mind. Ford moving the back wound for the sake of "clarity" and then denying any wrong-doing afterwards was akin to him being caught naked in bed with his best friend's wife and insisting that nothing untoward happened whilst putting his underpants back on.

Lee

Do you think that there were any members of the WC that did not know that Oswald was not the killer?

I guess another way to put my question is what WC members were honest?

I directed this question at Lee but I invite every member to answer

I am very interested to know if anyone feels the way I do about certain WC members

I agree with Lee that Dulles 100% knew Oswald was not the killer

Who cares?

The producer (the money bags behind the film)of JFK is an Israeli Arms Dealer

How does that effect or change the film in any way?

I have the answer for you Mr Phelps..... IT DOESN'T!

I'll have to explore the third falla.

How did I just know you would have no clue who Jack Lawrence was?

Thats what happens when you think either James Files or Lucien Sarti was involved in the assassination

You lose sight of the real important suspicous people that could have been an assassin

Jack Lawrence in my opinion is about as suspicous as it gets

Thanks for your comment Dean... I am sure you know everything there is to know about each and every piece of the assassination so I appreciate you letting us know that you know

You're very welcome

How can you even comment on what Moorman was doing during the shooting when you have no clue what she was doing after the shooting!

You cant even tell that Moorman is talking to Jim Featherstone and showing her the pictures that she took!

"I ran to Dealey Plaza, a few yards away, and this is where I first learned the president had been shot. I found two young women, Mary Moorman and Jean Lollis Hill, near the curb on Dealey Plaza. Both had been within a few feet of the spot where Kennedy was shot, and Mary Moorman had taken a Polaroid picture of Jackie Kennedy cradling the president's head in her arms. It was a poorly focused and snowy picture, but, as far as I knew then, it was the only such picture in existence. I wanted the picture and I also wanted the two women's eyewitness accounts of the shooting.

I told Mrs. Moorman I wanted the picture for the Times Herald and she agreed. I then told both of them I would like for them to come with me to the courthouse pressroom so I could get their stories and both agreed. . . . I called the city desk and told Tom LePere, an assistant city editor, that the president had been shot. "Really? Let me switch you to rewrite," LePere said, unruffled as if it were a routine story. I briefly told the rewrite man what had happened and then put Mary Moorman and Jean Lollis Hill on the phone so they could tell what they had seen in their own words. Mrs. Moorman, in effect, said she was so busy taking the picture that she really didn't see anything. Mrs. Hill, however, gave a graphic account of seeing Kennedy shot a few feet in front of her eyes."

How do you not know that?! Why are you even asking if that is Mary Moorman talking to "someone"

You make every CT look stupid by not even having basic knowledge about what photos Moorman is even in!

Edit: For a free history lesson the photo was taken by Frank Cancellare

I want to see this film

It reminds me of the scene in "JFK" where Ferrie and Oswald are training out at Lake Pontchartrain

From a probability standpoint -- statistically -- how likely is it that of all the films that could show the limo turn, none of them do?

Perfect point John! I have been saying that for years!

Even the Dorman film is spliced right before the limo turn

I did a study on it a year or so ago that Gary Mack went ballastic over saying I was seeing things

Let me try and dig it up

I wonder if that wide turn onto Elm has something to do with the splice in the Towner film?

Chris

I have always thought that what you just said is the case with the Towner film

Beverly Hillbillys (I admit it)

Berverly Hillbillys is for sure a guilty pleasure, but im proud to be a fan of that show!

Bonanza

The Twilight Zone

Alfred Hitchcock Presents

The Outer Limits

Green Acres

The Untouchables

The Carol Burnett Show

The Dick Van Dyke Show

Beverly Hillbillies

Of course I watched all of these shows in the early 80s when they were re-ran, and later on Nick at Night

My two favorite shows came a little bit later

In Search Of... with Leonard Nimoy

Ripleys Believe it or Not with Jack Palance

Lucky for me when A&E and the History channel started showing old episodes in the 90s I recorded all of them on VHS and later transfered them to DVD

My two shows have never been relesed on DVD but the recordings I have do just fine

Guess you must of never studied epidemiology. Or you smoke.

Nope never studied epidemiology and I do not smoke

How do you know that Jackies smoking was a "huge issue"?

You dont know

This thread is useless, all it is is your opinion about smoking
