Jack White Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Like the numerous others who have grown tired of this thread, I have now found it counterproductive to read and/or reply to the 10,000+-word daily treatises on the JVB stories and how accurate and marvelous the research is. I have received over a half-dozen emails from researchers saying what a waste of time the Jim/Judyth thread has become, and they refuse to read any new postings. I just this evening received two more messages of support; the people email me privately because they say they cannot have a productive exchange with Jim. I am starting this new thread which I hope will be limited to a single subject....which Jim/Judyth have suggested: "THE ERRORS OF JOHN ARMSTRONG." Both have the book Harvey & Lee. I ask that if they wish to address these "errors" that they do so in this thread, and with the following limitations: Address only "error" in one posting, thusly: Error: LHO's Missing Tooth, cite pages in H&L. Why Armstrong Is Wrong (100 words or less). or: Error: LHO Could Not Drive. Why Armstrong Is Wrong (100 words or less). Cite facts, not opinions. (Lengthy cut and paste messages will be ignored!) I will then attempt to reply to the alleged "error". This is the ONLY thread in which I will respond to any postings about JVB or H&L. (Lengthy cut and paste messages will be ignored!) This might contribute something to the investigation. (Lengthy cut and paste messages will be ignored!) Jack DO NOT POST ANYTHING TO THIS THREAD WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA. IT WILL BE IGNORED. John has "retired" from JFK research and DOES NOT WANT ANY PART OF INTERNET DEBATES. He has said everything that he intends to say IN HIS BOOK. He stands behind everything in his book, as do I. I will attempt to answer any legitimate questions about alleged "errors". But one at a time, please.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Jack, No matter what you are saying, this thread has exposed major problems in the HARVEY & LEE scenario as well as explaining quite a lot about the relationship between Judyth and Lee, who were collaborating with David Ferrie and Dr. Mary Sherman in a project to develop an anti-cancer-virus cure that became crucial when it was discovered that the polio vaccine being use to inoculate around 100,000,000 children and young adults was contaminated with the SV-40 virus, derived from the incubation of batches for study in the kidneys of Rhesus monkeys. It is a fascinating and remarkable story, which I am only now beginning to piece together. It is my belief that you are abandoning the thread because you are not able to cope with the arguments that have been posted, especially those about the "missing tooth" and the presence of "Harvey" and "Lee" at the same junior high school, the sole evidential basis for which is the report of an elderly woman who seems to be a completely incompetent witness. The idea that I "hijacked" your thread is rather ridiculous. I interpreted your invitation as one to repost the posts in which challenges to the work of John Armstrong had been presented. I therefore went through the thread to pick out those that were most relevant, which I posted there. My presumption was that you would send them to John, one at a time, for his consideration. Why you can't see your way to do that is beyond me. I believe that you are not only hostile to Judyth but have become hostile to me. For all the years of our relationship, I have never seen you act in such an obdurate and obstructionistic fashion. I have given you what you need if you choose to contact John, namely, a collection of the posts in which challenges to his work are presented. I didn't think in my wildest dreams that I had to drag it out, one by one. So do with what I presented as you will. There was no reason to reject what I have done. The reason you are not reading these posts and learning from them, of course, is that your mind has been closed on this subject since before the thread began. I realize that you are not alone in failing to begin to appreciate what Judyth is all about. Let me recommend that you could take a giant step in the right direction by reading DR. MARY'S MONKEY, in which Ed Haslam offers a fascinating exploration of the circumstances that brought Judyth, Lee, Ferrie, Sherman, and Ochsner together in one of the most remarkable covert operations in American medical history. Jim P.S. Even simpler, tune in to revereradio.net this Friday from 5-7 PM/CT and listen to Jesse Ventura for the first hour and Ed Haslam the second. Like the numerous others who have grown tired of this thread, I havenow found it counterproductive to read and/or reply to the 10,000+-word daily treatises on the JVB stories and how accurate and marvelous the research is.

Jack White Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 I created this thread for people to post "errors" that they find in Harvey & Lee. I said I would try to respond to them. I did NOT create it to showcase lectures on my shortcomings as a human being. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James H. Fetzer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 You have been issuing too many public denigrations of the Judyth thread for my taste. It is some kind of propaganda offensive to discourage those who might want to learn something about one of the murkiest aspects of JFK assassination research. I have tolerated these insults because you are a friend. But I think it's about time that they cease. If you know of anyone who takes exception to the arguments that Judyth and I have posted, let them come on the thread and confront me with them. I am tired of hearing that there are so many who think I am mistaken. Well, if I am wrong, let them come forth and prove it. This behind-the-back version of character assassination does not become you, Jack. Stop it! I created this thread for people to post "errors" that they find in Harvey & Lee.I said I would try to respond to them. I did NOT create it to showcase lectures on my shortcomings as a human being.

Greg Parker Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 John has "retired" from JFK research and DOES NOT WANT ANYPART OF INTERNET DEBATES. He has said everything that he intends to say IN HIS BOOK. He stands behind everything in his book, as do I. I will attempt to answer any legitimate questions about alleged "errors". But one at a time, please. Jack, What happened? First you post a complaint that Mr Armstrong wanted to join, but was having some problem in doing so (though if I recall, a solution was quickly arranged?) Next you said you would forward alleged errors to Mr Armstrong for his response, and now you are saying he wants nothing to do with this forum; is not interested in answering questions or defending his work, and that you will attempt to do that yourself? Apart from anything else, there is a false dichotomy in operation in these threads: If X is wrong, Y must be right, when in fact both may be right, just as both may be wrong. I think Mr Armstrong needs to do what he originally said he wanted to do. This exit from wanting to join and defend his work makes it look like he has no backbone; and worse; no answers.

John, I expected there to be a strategic retreat after this: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=15688 I was hoping I was wrong, but since then, stocks in H & L could hardly be said to have improved. I'll guaruntee there are prominent researchers who, having hitched a ride on the coat-tails of H & L to varying degrees, will be gratefull for this withdrawal. At the moment, colateral damage is barely on the radar (except for poor Jack who has been left to do all the heavy lifting), but all that could change if Mr Armstrong decides he has a spine, afterall.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) It pains me that my dear friend, Jack White. has been left high-and-dry by his mentor, John Armstrong. When he created the earlier version of this thread, I replied by doing my best to collate the posts in which questions have been raised about HARVEY & LEE. Anyone who wants to see what he appears to be avoiding should visit that thread. The idea of "closing a thread" was one I floated past John Simkin some time back, given I do not want to continue the Judyth thread forever, but I was told it could not be done. Please know that my understanding of the role of Judyth in relation to Lee Oswald and David Ferrie and Mary Sherman and Alton Ochsner has been transformed by an inter- view I taped last night with Ed Haslam, DR. MARY'S MONKEY, which I encourage every one with an interest in these issues to hear. It will be broadcast on Friday as the 2nd hour of "The Real Deal" on http://revereradio.net following the 1st with Jesse Ventura, AMERICAN CONSPIRACIES. I invite those with questions to post on the Judyth thread. John has "retired" from JFK research and DOES NOT WANT ANYPART OF INTERNET DEBATES. He has said everything that he intends to say IN HIS BOOK. He stands behind everything in his book, as do I. I will attempt to answer any legitimate questions about alleged "errors".

If I'm wrong about that, please show me the quotes. I said he lacked backbone if he has abondoned you to defend his work on your own, and I do not resile from that. Abandoning friends in time of need would fit most people's definition of a cowardly act. Whatever his reasons, it had nothing to do with name-calling. That is just an excuse without substance. Narrow minded people can always use portions of the information provided to reach a their own self-serving conclusions. This is nothing new, the WC did this in 1963 and were followed by many other clever but deceitful people promoting their own agendas.

Simple minded people make simple choices and generate simple conclusions. Serious minded people make serious choices and generate serious conclusions. Attacking those who disagree with Armstrong, or have questions about his evidence is just masking a lack of confidence in being able to respond to those disagreements/questions adequately. Or maybe you're (rightly, imo) just sick of having to do this on your own. I'd be pissed at Armstrong if I were you. THIS THREAD IS NOW CLOSED! Unfortunately, you need the supernatural wisdom and powers of a Moderator to do that. Shouting it is closed won't work any better than waving a wand and chanting "abracadabra" will make the questions disaapear.

Here is a comparison of LEE and NORTON signatures. I believe the characters show great similarity. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
