NOTE: this was the same stunt Fetzer pulled in the JFK assassination research community, whereby he pretended a radiation oncologist and an eye surgeon had more credibility than the numerous forensic pathologists to look into the case.  While I whole-heartedly agreed with his premise--that "experts" can be wrong, Fetzer's replacing them with his own "experts" who had much weaker credentials and then pretending "his" "experts" were real experts when the other ones were not, was just pathetic, IMO. In any event, I remember that Fetzer cited some scientist with a background in agriculture as proof the towers could only be brought down by laser beams from space, etc, and then claimed this as a fact based on this person's background--as if having a few letters after your name excused you from idiocy. 

I presume your angst against Fetzer is the popularity he garnered, especially the amount of books the guy had published up to that point including the Assassination Science Series, sounds much like jealously to this old salt...

I take some offense to the characterization of your term "...his own 'experts'...". In particular, I, being one of those "experts"... whom spent an entire career in the production, post production film/video composing-editing business... tell us, how many records/cd's do you have to produce in order to become a certified JFK assassination researcher/medical evidence expert, facilitator...? Lest you forget Mantik is ALSO a Ph.D, in Physics as well as that pesky old M.D. in Radiation-Oncology.. I suspect D. Mantik has announced death sentences based on X-rays, Scans, Pet Scans and Mri's for years, its not a pleasant field, I know, I own two of those sentences... he has no obvious reason lie, over-blow or exploit associated assassination evidence and its case evidence... I'm sure the concept of "do no harm" has not escaped him...

To bad the same 'do no harm' concept is alien right here on this 'forum', to quote you "PATHETIC" comes to mind...

It's the classic/pointless argument of, "well, I PERSONALLY don't think something is logical so that MUST mean something fishy is going on." Gil's one-sided analysis fails to consider anything whatsoever about Oswald's known actions and penchant for inflating his own activities as ones he considered of vital importance to foreign governments and oppressed peoples.

getting tough supporting the 1964 WCR is it? LMAO!

Honestly Ron, 35 bucks is not a lot of money for a book that is illustrated throughout like this one.

I don't know what you would lose if it was on Kindle.

looks like it is "self" published? Hopefully he'll break even soon, THEN go to Kindle?

Books images okay, but the graphics stink re color scheme, etc. Content great!!! I'm glad to see Doug Weldon getting his dues -- Monk, Doug Horne reviews, terrific...

Job well done, David...

I don't know the listening numbers. Personally I don't care what a person's listening figures are as long as they are well read in the assassination. Clark has been studying the assassination for something like 20 or 30 years and been doing that podcast for almost 10 years I think. He's a CTer.

ahhhh, "well read." Does that include understanding what one has "read," or is that a given. Because one purchases a $70 microphone, sets up a studio in their closet does NOT make a spiffied up William F. Buckley.... Has Mr. Clark read the 1964 WCReport, to your knowledge?

Herbacides were NOT used in Vietnam, circa. 1963-65. They were used soon after. Might want to post your question to alt.war.vietnam (google groups) many, many Vietnam era vets post to that board. I'm sure a few will respond to thoughtful questions covering the topic. [don't let rancor on that board hold you back from asking your questions].

I suggest in the title block of your post there, start the title with: "Doug Reese, please....". I'm sure he'll see it, you should receive a prompt reply to your question.

I stand corrected, Agent Blue amongst others, was active back in that day....  Operation Ranch hand 1961-1971...

Have Dave how've you been? It been a few years. We've never agreed on anything here but IIRC you were always polite unlike many of the other CTs. Aren't you in Vegas? I have a friend there. I had a crush on her when we were in our 20s and if her photos are recent she's a very attractive woman in her mid-50s, but she's happily married so you're NOT getting her phone # . I know you were kidding but eff Bonzo!

 

'Docuseries about WWII drops segment about Holocaust denial', oh the horror! That's only a slightly unfair comparison. My grandfather was murdered in Buchenwald BTW. 

 

RIP the Ramones esp. Dee Dee whom I met a few times and co-wrote the song.

 

 

 

Hello Len... yes it has been a while -- last time we went round and round you, Tink, Gary Mack and the rest of the *Gang* convinced Rollie Zavada not to debate Lifton and myself... that was a while ago.... sorry about your Grand Dad, bad times for our parents and grand parents, those days.... lots of arrogance around here these days... shame, I doubt either side will make headway... I suspect thats as it should be... and no, just visit Las Vegas on occasion these days, 20 years was enough, like living in av/film set... glad I got a chance to say hello... not doing well these days... take care of yourself bud... --dgh

IMO, Oswald's "Assassination Plan" (if we can call it that) has all the earmarks of being a virtually last-minute plan with no advanced thought at all of any escape plan. I think that's obvious by just examining the things he did on both Nov. 21 and 22.

I also think that Oswald himself truly felt (on Friday morning) that he very likely would have no real opportunity to pull off a successful assassination from anyplace within the Book Depository.

So many things could have interrupted his plan to shoot from any of the windows within the TSBD. But luck was certainly with him that day, no doubt about it, when Bonnie Ray Williams elected to vacate the sixth floor just in time for Oswald to accomplish his task on an empty 6th floor.

If only Bonnie Ray had decided to finish his chicken-on-the-bone sandwich on Floor #6. If he had done so, would tragedy have been averted? I think so. (Apart from Bonnie Ray's tragic dental bill, that is.)

 

'earmarks,' 'so many things' and 'you think'.... brilliant!

Three, David Kaiser, American Tragedy. Broader in scope, includes Laos and Vietnam.  Very good on the origins of the withdrawal plan and Bobby Kennedy's role in it. Also good on how Johnson was intent on reversing Kennedy.

The below link may alert you to pre Vietnam War activity, prior to 1963... all the names in and at the bottom of the documents should be well known to you... much a do about SEATO (South East Asian Treaty organization). 170-205,000 combat troops contemplated for South Vietnam in 1961... I did a standard Google search concerning my old MAAG-Vietnam unit: (DCS Starcom Station Saigon) ... under the general public's radar? Maybe it will provide some general, Vietnam situ insight of the early 60's? I was in-country when Kennedy was assassinated, 3 weeks prior I was in Saigon (and caught up in) when President Diem and his brother's administration were overthrown and murdered... Interesting times those days to say the least... take a peek...

Just goes to show that people enjoy wallowing in fantasy-filled speculation and conjecture.

Similarly, David Lifton's book of fantasy, Best Evidence, was on the New York Times best-seller list for three months, getting as high as #4.

Conspiracy sells. The Lone-Nut truth? Not so much.

Any discussion of Lifton's chapter Pig on a Leash should come with an asterisk pointing out that Lifton would later claim he'd never been paid for his contribution to The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, and that its editor James Fetzer insinuated on this forum that Lifton was greedy for wanting to get paid for his substantial contribution. 

P.S. In thinking back on my relationship with Lifton, I think this is when we became friendly. While I disagreed with David's conclusions re body alteration and Zapruder film fabrication, I defended him against those who attacked him personally, including some, like Fetzer, who'd previously been his supporters. So, I suppose, in short, we agreed to disagree without being disagreeable. 

bs.... I'm amazed David had so many friends here, even he'd be surprised...He told me, for a fact, that he "took the assassination case temperature every single day through his contacts via the web, social media or letter or phone... he knew more about the post facts of this case than anyone alive today, bar none! 

And, no one that contributed to Zapruder Film HOAX was "paid" unless you define pay as flights in and out, some food and lodging and some very entertaining company... Of course DavidL, DavidG and DavidM wished to get some renumeration, every contributor did but, we didn't get a check, only expenses paid...  (If ya dug, you'd probably find out DSL negotiated with JFetzer regarding his seminar participation especially after he found out I was videotaping the entire symposium in 2003)... and the same goes for Jack White and John Costella... And Jim Fetzer picked up the tab for it all... and it was his publisher to boot... JFetzer knew, KNEW how to get it done, AND published.

I know, I was there, a Contributor to Zapruder Film HOAX...

As for David's latest on YouTube, which has been presented here of late: Absolutely nothing new out of all those video pieces strung together. Except it was Lifton who did the compilations. Years ago Jack White flushed most of the very same film/photo topics out 10-15 years ago... I was there, as film/photo moderator at DellaRosa's JFK Assassination Research where most of it appeared on the web for the first time...

The topic of LHO cooled, David Lifton, I believe, knew that. And was searching for more Nov 22nd fertile ground -- and what place better than the phot/film record, a topic he was very familiar with and could get a decent hearing anywhere. So test the waters?

Any further comments regarding David Lifton's cred's on this subject matter should come from a very astute and knowledgable guy named Doug Horne. He knew Lifton the writer/researcher/author better than most anyone. Even Jim Fetzer could add to this topic. --

David S. Lifton was an author-detective with fangs and a keyboard, Not to mention an all round asshole when things didn't go his way -- and faithful to the JFKA case right up to his death (although that might of changed when Charade was getting becoming iffy of late)...

If NOT natural causes that took him perhaps his own hand? Maybe a case of no more funding for books re JFK assassination topics? In the final analysis, it was really all he knew -- MHO of course.... 

RIP in Peace, Brother you always knew how to put on a great show!

https://news.yahoo.com/national-archives-wants-release-hundreds-173845817.html

This is a reprint of an article from Business Insider, regarded as tight with the CIA by some, including JFKA researcher Richard Russell. 

So...if the JFK records are released, a lot of other stuff could get out too, especially about Hunter Biden and gushers of money flowing into Biden family coffers rom Ukraine and China, for example?  

Maybe this is just coincidence, this article about hiding records, coming out in advance to the Dec. 15 decision by the President on whether to release JFK records or not. 

The two types of records are not strictly related---although the grounds for secrecy are, in some regards. 

 

 

 

This love affair on display here with the Biden(s) is concerning? Despite wrapping it around JFKA document topic(s) -- a media pro would know better, indeed. Where is Mr. Charles-Dunne when we need him?

Is it possible there isn't a Final Charade manuscript? And I'm thinking out loud here... not seeking responses. Everything I ever spoke with David about ended up discussing some facet of Best Evidence, never Charade -- regardless of topic subject.

I get the feeling this story has a more tragic ending... than simply David passing... this subject maybe tainted by my current situation but I don't feel so...

 My most recent conversation with David Lifton began on Nov 1st, he was glad I queried his email as he had lost my e-mail address.  The below is my last communication with DSLifton. In that email exchange: after pleasantries, David wanted to inform me he had moved to Las Vegas and provided me with his new address, I also gave him mine, again... he gave no date when that moved occurred. He knew I had long ties to and lived in East Las Vegas for many years and we had talked a time or two of getting together for a bite to eat... When my current health issues came up during the exchange, it became obvious I won't be travelling to Las Vegas in the future...
