Stephen Roy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 What ARE you talking about? He never acknowledges points I've brought up, resorting again to attacks. Fetzer does not listen to other people here, but you are right that he thinks for himself. And yes, anyone who wishes to keep an open mind is a thorn in his side. Nobody expects him to "fall", because he really doesn't care what others think. If Roy can take a step back toward objectivity, which he says he values, perhaps he can see that he is creating a strawman. Jim Fetzer may not say what Roy wants him to or think he should, but he is evaluating all the information on this thread and weighing it in his own way. Keep in mind he has to sift through information based on Roy's bias against anything involving Ferrie and conspiracy. Why should he care about what others think? Isn't that just an appeal to the masses? Why not allow him to work things through in his own way and respect his right to disagree with you? Example: I entered this thread by giving my own informed opinion (which I have also done on this and other forums previously, including long before Fetzer discovered all this) that Haslam's books, whatever their merits, do not follow standard research methodology. The conclusions are not supported by the evidence. Fetzer could have drawn me out a bit to cite specifics, but instead he went on the attack (as he has with virtually every other poster in the thread). Example: His "psy-ops expert" made a couple of crazy statements about Ferrie being recruited by "the Company" (and being made to lose his hair) years before CIA even existed. I corrected them. Rather than say, oh yes, he made some mistakes, Fetzer went silent. Example: After claiming that research went on at the "underground laboratory" in Ferrie's "large kitchen," I posted photos showing that it was not large, that the trio would have tripped over each other, and that there was no sign of a lab, lab equipment, mice cages, etc. At this point, Fetzer announced that he was leaving the conversation. I'm not trying to convince Fetzer; it is hopeless, as he is not interested in hearing (with COMPREHENSION) any contrary evidence. So yes, I guess those posts went to "the masses," as do Fetzer's and everyone else's posts in this thread. My "chops" on Ferrie and New Orleans are quite good (and profoundly better than Fetzer's), but he can feel free to "work things through in his own way" and post what he wants. As will I.

Stephen Roy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Let me acknowledge now that I misjudged Michael Hogan...it is clear that Hogan is simply playing with words. What he has been attributing to me, however, is completely misleading. I have thought he was a serious student of these things and have taken his questions seriously, but no more. He has been making false and misleading statements regarding my position...Others have suggested I was mistaken in my favorable opinion of him. I have resisted, but now I am convinced. Ruh roh, Rorge... Michael: I guess that, after a brief moment of favor in Fetzer's eyes, you now need to be attacked. Welcome to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Kinaski Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jack White:I have NEVER stated that Dr. Mary's death occurred in her apartment. You are imagining that. What I said was Haslam's theory of someone using the particle generator to kill her and then to transport her remains across town to her apartment is an odd and unproven theory. A particle accelerator uses MAGNETS as its source of propulsion, not electric current... That is nonsense, Jack. To generate the magnetic-fields needed in part. acc. you need electric current...hight and dangerous enough to produce exact the kind of injury which was observed at M. Shermans arm.

It's pointless for me to continue responding to Pamela McElwain-Brown, because she makes charges, I correct them, and she repeats the same erronous information again and again and again, as if by repetition it will stick. So I'll direct this toward readers: I AM NOT A "SELF-PROCLAIMED" Ferrie expert. I do not use that expression. I am a Ferrie SPECIALIST. My comment above is far more understated, and a direct response to Fetzyr's belief that he knows more about things than other people. My biography of Ferrie IS NOT FINISHED, as I'm only working on it part-time. I have shared material with many authors, researchers, producers etc.; I've posted a bunch of it here and elsewhere and I've spoken on it at JFK conferences. If anybody sees her repeat these things again, please remind her that I've responded and they're NOT TRUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James H. Fetzer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's the new ones that appear to have been faked, Jack. In fact, I can testify to that being the case, since I have seen both the original (black-and-white) and the more recent (color), where the original was a full-body, nude shot, but the more recent is only of his penis. I wish you would read what I have to say more carefully, Jack. If anyone can find the photo I am looking for-- which I have but cannot presently locate--please send me a copy or a scan. The LHO photos showing his "equipment" as Jim calls it were first seen in the 1980s...long beforeanyone ever heard of Judyth...so they could not have been "faked" for her benefit.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Michael Hogan has demonstrated (proven) that he is not serious about these things, when he continues to insist upon such distorted claims as this one: "Jim Fetzer has called Haslam's book one of the most scholarly and well-researched books that he has encountered," when I was talking about books published for the general public! I have published many more scholarly books of my own, but they are on technical subjects, including on the theoretical foundations of scientific knowledge, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Anyone can check out SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, AI: ITS SCOPE AND LIMITS, or THE EVOLUTION OF INTELLIGENCE. I think I can even claim co-authorship for the most throughly researched article, "The NTSB Failed Wellstone", which I wrote with John Costella. The text only runs four-to-six pages but it includes six photographs and 115 notes. Practically every sentence is sourced. So I know full well that there are many more scholarly and well-researched books--but not for the general public! Indeed, as I have previously explained, I answered his three questions some time ago. And, as for his latest (in bold), if I am not mistaken, Judyth was speaking about Livingstone's book, not Ed's. If you read the whole text, Hogan has made a blunder about which the book she was discussing. If you read to the end, she is clearly not talking about Ed but a book that was withdrawn. If Hogan can't get something as plain and simple straight, no one should be surprised his posts are full of distortions--a lot of mistakes for a smart man to make. ....As for not telling her that he was writing a book, you seem to be confounding Judyth's initial encounters with him (when he did not mention that) with her later knowledge about it (when he asked her to review what he had written). I wouldn't have thought you couldn't figure that one out on your own. I have shortened Judyth's reply. This is the pertinent paragraph: "In addition, I did not know Haslam was writing another book. It came as a complete surprise, or otherwise I would have warned him about the unauthorized status of the book." So my question remains: Even though Haslam had JVB "correct and corroborate" her story that he published in DMM, why did he never divulge to her that he was writing a book in which she would play a key role? (That is what JVB claimed) JUDYTH REPLIES TO A REASONABLE QUESTION FROM MICHAEL HOGAN NOTE: Judyth apparently caught something that I had missed, namely: what she takes to have been a "very reasonable question" concerning the book published by Harrison Livingstone. It completely slipped by me, so I am pleased to be able to publish Judyth's response and extend an apology to Michael for my utter failure to recognize the question. JUDYTH REPLIES: About the very reasonable question that has been broached, concerning the book, published by Harrison Livingstone behind my back, which was an unauhorized edition due to many flaws and problems, and why Ed Haslam could mention that my book was withdrawn without knowing that it was an unauthorized book: Here is how that happened: .....Haslam heard about the book. I told him I stopped publication of the book, but I had been sent some copies by Shackelford. I then sent him a copy. But I encountered a dilemma when it came to talking about the book's problems to Haslam. Shackelford and Livingstone wanted the true text to get into print as quickly as possible because some thieves stole an unedited version of a book Dr. Platzman wrote, based on my emails. A lot was missing, and some errors. Now it was in the hands of thieves. (They would end up sending it to people such as McAdams, who now quote from this flawed version.) Speed was more important to them than a good editing job, in my opinion. (Trine Day, this time, is doing a good job.) In the end, Livingstone simply took it. Martin preferred to support his old friend, to make a long story short. I did not want to interfere, however, in any interviewng processes going on between Haslam and Shackelford. In addition, I did not know Haslam was writing another book. It came as a complete surprise, or otherwise I would have warned him about the unauthorized status of the book. (Bold added) Because he kept asking questions, I knew that inaccuracies in the book of concern did not affect what Haslam learned from me. I never told Haslam why I withdrew the book, because I did not want him to have any prejudice against Mr. Shackelford. Shackelford occasionally had some odd misunderstandings: once he wrote that I had not been a Catholic. He had never examined my early life, as Haslam did. He was concerned only with the story of Oswald and me. Each researcher has his or her own style. I hope this explains why I did not bring up why the book was withdrawn to Haslam. I don't think he ever knew that Shackelford was involved in the matter. I don't know. JVB Edited May 11, 2010 by James H. Fetzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hogan Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jim, I am going to show you that you are wrong. Right now, I don't have the time. You question you call my latest was posed weeks ago.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jack, No, he does not have an erection. (I suspect that is physically impossible for dead men, since their blood pressure has gone to zero.) What it shows is that he was very "well endowed". It is the most striking feature of this photograph. The new ones, which I have, are completely different. They show a very modest "endowment". There is only one possible target for this, Judyth, who has described him as having "impressive equipment". I can confirm that that is correct. But the more recent images contradict it. This is another example of faking photos in the assassination, so it should come as no surprise. What matters is (1) fakery and (2) targeting Judyth. Jim It's the new ones that appear to have been faked, Jack. In fact, I can testify to that being the case, since I have seen both the original (black-and-white) and the more recent (color), where the original was a full-body, nude shot, but the more recent is only of his penis.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Absolutely right, Karl. And Ed found evidence of massive power to the basement, which would have been necessary for the accelerator to function. The control lever appears to have been electrified so she would get a massive dose of voltage. The fire at her apart- ment would not even have burned at 500*F, when the mattress was smoldering, which could not possibly have caused such damage to her body. Ed explains that cremation machines that burn at around 2,000*F still leave bone residue. On page 323, Haslam talks about Jack Nygard, who was vaporized when he was accidentally "stuck in the path of his 5,000,000 volt linear particle accelerator near Seattle, Washington." It would be a good thing if some of these critics could read with greater understanding. Jack White:I have NEVER stated that Dr. Mary's death occurred in her apartment. You are imagining that.
