    And therefore you simply ignore the suicide notes? And their significance?

    Especially in light of the fact that Ferry died within a week of  Jim Garrison's investigation becoming public, and Ferrie saying to one of Garrison's aides, " You know what this news story does to me, don't you. I'm a dead man. From here on, believe me, I'm a dead man...."

    Why did Ferry say that? Do you just ignore that too?

     

    They weren't suicide notes. They were notes. They could not have been suicide notes because he did not commit suicide. Just check out what 

    Ferrie told David Chandler - he was tired, having headaches, and could barely walk up the stairs. He had already had an earlier bleed and the aneurism killed him. Garrison's coroner did the autopsy - this is all pretty clear.

    Hi Fred,

    In Location 533 of your book you write regarding Lee Harvey Oswald and the Texas School Book Depository:

    From what I can see, this assertion seems to be false. Charles Givens was also not present, and possibly another person as well.

    Now...

    ...at this point I imagine that one might begin to argue "The reason Roy Truly didn't retrieve Charles Givens' address and report him as missing the way he did for Oswald was because Truly saw Givens walking away from the building just before the assassination, and Truly knew that the gunfire directed toward Kennedy's limousine came from the sixth floor of the school book depository."

    Truly was across the street just north of the Vice Presidential limo and south of the TSBD, and this is how he testified about what he believed were the source of the shots:

    http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/truly1.htm

    There are some things that seem odd to me.

    Truly doesn't know the exact number of his warehouse employees.

    We're not even paying attention to the dozens of other employees that were working inside the TSBD on November 22, 1963. How many of them were absent? How many of them were outside to watch the motorcade and then not allowed inside the TSBD afterward by police, as per Charles Givens' statement quoted above?

    Truly says "one or two" other warehouse employees could be missing along with Oswald, Givens "possibly" among them. Yet the only employee that Truly saw fit to get the address of and report to authorities was Oswald, a man that Truly KNEW was inside the TSBD minutes after the shooting that Truly believed came from WEST of the TSBD.

    Something doesn't add up.

    Do you have any evidence you can cite for your statement that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only warehouseman missing from the TSBD after the assassination?

    Oswald was missing, and he was the guy that Truly noticed was missing. That's what counted. it was important enough for Truly to tell Chief Lumpkin that "we have a man here that's missing." Frazier also testified at the London trial that "everyone was present [at the roll call] except Mr. Oswald. And, of course, he was missing.

    Hi Fred,

    I echo Andrej's comments. Welcome to the forum and congratulations on writing your book. I can see you put in quite a bit of effort into it. I found it interesting that you cited Gerald Posner's "Case Closed" as the book that convinced you there was no conspiracy, while it was that same book that first convinced me that there was.

    I read it last night, and I'm looking forward to discussing it with you if I may. I'll try to bring up my questions and comments in separate posts instead of bunching them all together in one big post and risk things getting lost. I hope we can have a good conversation.

    Location 872 and 891 - In your book you write this regarding David Ferrie:

    In Joan Mellen's 2005 "A Farewell To Justice" Pgs 106-107:

    Questions

    1. Why didn't you mention the two suicide notes found at David Ferrie's death scene in your book?

    2. What do you think of the claims in the last paragraph quoted above, that Ferrie's doctor Martin Palmer says that Ferrie's brain case wasn't opened at his autopsy?

    The autopsy was quite clear that Ferrie was suffered from a berry aneurism which is a congenital defect. He did not commit suicide.  The so-called

    suicide notes just aren't suicide notes. In fact, they can't be, since he didn't commit suicide. There is a reason we do autopsies.

    I am not scared of Trans people, and my article does not say that.

    You might not be aware but there are lots of fights between the gay community and the trans community, A bunch of lesbians were just bumped from Vancouver Pride.

    Yes, I believe that giving kids puberty blockers is child abuse. 

    I have no issue if you disagree with my article, but you immediately accuse me of hatred.

    My new book, I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak, is now up on Amazon.

    Fred Litwin recounts how he became a JFK conspiracy freak at eighteen, and then slowly moved to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. 
     

    I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak demonstrates how the left and right have used the JFK assassination to drive home myths about power in America. There is also the persecution of a gay man prosecuted for conspiring to kill Kennedy, the ugly story of Oliver Stone’s homophobic film JFK, an exposé of conspiracy nonsense on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a look at how the Soviets tried to influence American public opinion that CIA was behind the murder, and the incredible secret why some JFK assassination documents must remain locked up. And a whole lot more.


    PRAISE FOR I WAS A TEENAGE JFK CONSPIRACY FREAK


    “As a young man growing up in the heyday of Kennedy assassination theorizing, Fred Litwin believed a conspiracy killed JFK.  And then he grew, and he studied and he researched.  The result is this volume, a thorough, cogent and meticulously argued case for a lone assassin.  A seasoned conspiracy skeptic will learn new things here, and a conspiracy believer open to looking at the other side could do no better than this volume.”
    - John McAdams, Associate Professor of Political Science at Marquette University and author of JFK Assassination Logic: How to Think about Claims of Conspiracy

    "This is a great book for conspiracy buffs—and, more important, for those who debunk such theories. Fred Litwin does a terrific job in blowing up the myriad JFK assassination scenarios, not least in completely demolishing The Fifth Estate’s decades-long efforts to “uncover” the truth. The CBC’s lead investigative show is revealed here to be more than slightly unhinged.”
      -J.L. Granatstein, Author of Who Killed Canadian History?

    “In Fred Litwin's marvelous book, he charts how he went from an early skeptic to someone dedicated to dissecting their arguments and carefully tearing them apart. He puts the final nail in the coffin of all the conspiracy theorists, who develop new ones as old theories are proven wrong. Everyone still concerned with JFK's death and thinks it's a mystery must read this book. They will be glad they did.”
    -Ronald Radosh, Professor Emeritus of History at CUNY, opinion columnist for The Daily Beast and co-author of A Safe Haven: Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel

    “Mr. Litwin’s book is the best in many, many years in dealing with the truth about this horrendous piece of history…and exposing the fakirs, cons and opportunists who often call themselves ‘historians.’ A fine presentation!”
    -Hugh Aynesworth, Author of November 22, 1963: Witness to History and JFK: Breaking the News
