  1. I agree. I know White is controversial topic. Let's not forget that he also had a previously unknown and unseen version of the Oswald backyard photo showing Oswald in a different pose. As far as I know, no other copies of that photo have ever been discovered, making it unlikely that the DPD evidence department was just handing copies out as souvenirs to any random cops that wanted a keepsake.
  2. The difference is that one side here is citing doctors and scientists to support their argument on the medical science, and the other side is citing actors and tv producers. Who has silenced Rapaport? His Instagram is still up. Who has silenced Bigtree? His blog is still up. Refusing to treat actors and tv producers with no scientific or medical credentials as exactly the same as real scientists and doctors is not silencing them. Yes, but those two streets are not equal. Stop with the false equivalence. This is a debate over medical science. One side is having their biases confirmed by data from doctors, scientists, medical and health organizations, while the other side is having their biases confirmed by data from actors, tv producers, Instagram accounts and blogs. It's shocking to me that you can not recognize the difference between the two, and then have the temerity to lecture others on logic. The freedom to catch a virus? The freedom to die from a virus? The freedom to infect others with a virus? The freedom to equate scientists and doctors as equal in scientific and medical expertise to actors and tv producers? This is freedom to you? How odd. You have the freedom to not take the vaccine. Six months ago they were counting the people going into and out of stores in order to keep the recommended safe capacity. Today they don't even have the signs saying you should wear a mask, yet anti-vaxxers are still weeping and crying over their "lost freedom." Restaurants are opening up, concerts and festivals are going on again, even my local city hall and public library no longer have signs requiring masks nor have they any closed areas to enforce social distancing like they had just a few months ago. Yet you anti-vaxxers are all still acting like we are in a nascent police state ready to haul you off to the gulag if you don't wear a mask during sex.
  3. Why do you play these games, Dennis? What was my takeaway supposed to be? You said it was a big financial scam. I said I didn't see how it was a scam, since I wasn't charged for the vaccine. You replied, "ugh, nothing is free, somebody paid for it." Why did you say that in response? What was I supposed to take away from that reply? It's sad that you don't have the conviction to stand by your own words. And for the third time, what does your own doctor say about the vaccine?
  4. Interesting coincidence. Just yesterday I ordered three more books to investigate this.
  5. Maybe they should consult some actors and tv producers instead?
  6. Michael Rapaport is an actor, not a scientist or a doctor. Del Bigtree is a tv and film producer, not a scientist or a doctor. Bigtree is also anything but objective. Wikipedia calls him "one of the most prominent voices in the anti-vaccination movement." How can you call him objective, much less qualified to speak with any authority on science or medicine? Why do you put actors and tv producers scientific and medical opinions over those of actual scientists and doctors? Most of all, what does your own family physician say about the vaccine?
  7. You just don't get the point. You don't know and don't care how many scientists and doctors say do get the vaccine, but you want us to listen to the scientists and doctors that say do NOT get the vaccine, even though they (for all you know and care) may be vastly outnumbered by the scientists and doctors that say do get the vaccine.
  8. I said I wasn't charged for it. You replied that someone paid for it, as if that was proof it was all big financial scam. So if I was charged for it, I should assume it was a big financial scam to bilk me out of my money, and if I wasn't charged for it, I should also assume it was a big financial scam to bilk me out of my money.
  9. Is that really how we have handled the other viruses and vaccines in our past? We voted on it?
  10. I have heard of them. I have also heard anti-vaxxers claim vaccines cause Autism. I don't necessarily automatically believe everything I hear from anti-vaxxers. In fact, the virulence of their opposition to vaccines combined with their lack of medical/scientific expertise on the subject causes me to be skeptical of them more often than not. It seems to me that this is where we reach the end of useful discussion with cited sources to back up our claims. You and Dennis appear to believe that the CDC is in on a gigantic scam, so if I cite CDC statistics, most likely they will be rejected as false propaganda. Whereas I see citing data about a current pandemic from the Center of Disease Control as appropriate. So, I will be citing the mainstream sources while stipulating that you and Dennis wholeheartedly believe that they are peddling propaganda. As I noted in an earlier post to Dennis, in technical subjects outside my personal area of expertise, I find it reasonable to give more weight to the informed and educated opinions of experts than to my own uneducated ignorance. But I realize and acknowledge that you and Dennis will likely reject any and all information or statistics that come from either the CDC, the mainstream media, and/or the vaccine manufacturers. I will be curious to see what your sources say about the percentages. To respond to your claims of vaccine deaths, blood clots, and myocarditis of spike proteins detaching. I'd like to know how those numbers stand up to the numbers of people not experiencing ill effects after receiving the vaccine. https://abcnews.go.com/US/symptomatic-breakthrough-covid-19-infections-rare-cdc-data/story?id=79048589 - Attached photo: Screenshot of FOX News graphic that reads https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e3.htm
  11. It is statements like this that cause me to question your medical and scientific expertise, Dennis. I am definitely no expert and do not claim to be one, but even I know that people who have had a virus and recovered from it are not immune. If that were true, no one on the planet would ever get the flu more than once in their lives.
  12. So I should have turned it down because I wasn't charged for it? I should only accept and trust vaccines that I'm personally charged for? That doesn't make any sense. If the vaccine actually helps me not get deathly ill and/or helps me not pass along the virus to others and also costs me nothing out of pocket, I'd consider that a bargain. Who has proven that they were safe and effective? Who has proven that they were safe and effective in the same time span that you believe the vaccines were proven dangerous and ineffective? How am I supposed to know who has proven that these alternative treatments were truly safe and effective? If you know about these other treatments and somehow trust the word of those who say they had been proven safe, effective, cheap, and widely available, what is stopping you or anyone else from using those treatments? What are these treatments that are cheap and widely available that are now no longer cheap and widely available now because of the CDC's actions? You think we shouldn't ignore experts? How many experts are warning against vaccines during pandemics, and how many experts are recommending vaccines during pandemics? When it comes to technical subjects outside my realm of knowledge, such as science, medicine, engine repair, ect., I admit that I punt to the experts because I do not believe my ignorance is the equal of their expertise. I'm curious, what is your scientific and medical background? What does the educational institution where you learned science and medicine have to say about the Covid vaccine and whether or not it is safe and effective? Do you have a family doctor or personal physician? Do they recommend the vaccine or warn against it?
  13. I'm not sure about the other sites, but if you see one of your pictures on Pinterest and you don't want it there, you can report it and Pinterest will take it down while also sending an alert to whomever had it on their boards explaining why it was removed. They certainly don't shut down Pinterest permanently, they just remove the unauthorized picture.
  14. You genuinely believe that the Dallas police could not read?
  15. Thanks for the response, Chris. So you believe in viruses, you believe in Covid 19, you believe in vaccines, but you don't believe in the vaccines for Covid 19 and you don't believe in the precautions and preventative measures suggested for reducing exposure to Covid 19, is that correct? I'm not sure how it is a financial racket. I was not charged any money for my Covid vaccine shot. And I'm not sure how preventative measures are considered propaganda when they seem to be in line with both science and common sense when it comes to airborne communicable viruses. I guess my basic question is how should the vaccines and preventative measures have been presented that would have made them legitimate and believable to you?
  16. The Carcano has "Made Italy" and "Cal 6.5" printed on it. So how did three officers, one of whom had run a store that sold rifles, think it was a German-made rifle of a different caliber? If we can tell it it is a Carcano by looking at the film, how could it be mistaken for a Mauser by people who saw it in person and actually handled it? Something that was arguably the single most important piece of evidence that those officers would handle in their entire lives.
  17. Do you not believe in the virus, or in the vaccine, or both?
  18. All I see in the link is a picture of the cover and a summary. Is everyone else getting the full article?
  19. That's something to look forward to. I hope this film gets distributed. I've always thought the film "Rush To Judgment" needed an update and recontextualization for modern audiences. Some of the interviews in the original are still very important.
  20. I don't think the entire 1\6 investigation hinges on Pence, so it's academic to me. Religious people like him can justify anything as long as they ask for forgiveness. What's interesting is seeing Pence try to straddle the division between the new Trump wing of the GOP and the conventional establishment Republicans. It seems he needs the Trump wing support, but those same people wanted to hang him in broad daylight. If my boss tried to have a mob murder me, I'd be pretty annoyed at him or her. I'm just weird like that. If my boss tried to have a mob kill me and tried to overthrow the government at the same time, well, that's just rude.
  21. One of the earliest things anyone ever said to me about the JFK assassination was "Guys like Lee Oswald don't just 'make friends' with guys like George DeMohrenschildt."
  22. I'd like to read the article too. Congratulations, James!
  23. "The Russian Speaking Woman" If it's not Marina, who is it? Ruth Paine?
  24. I'd say that's a positive review. They couldn't find much to criticize, it seems. It will be interesting to see the full four hour version.
