John Simkin Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The quality of the political debates of this forum is reflected in the quality of the people who are joining. For example, Josiah Thompson joined this morning. I am hoping to persuade him to answer questions on his books, Six Seconds in Dallas and Gumshoe. I have been a bit disappointed with the lack of questions some of our authors have been getting. This is a great opportunity for members to have direct contact with these writers. This is very much an experimental exercise that has the potential to change the relationship between author and reader. I suspect part of the problem is that members do not access the History Books section. If not, here is the URL you need to go to. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showforum=204 Don Bohning: The Castro Obsession http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4761 William Turner: Deadly Secrets http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4858 Joseph Trento, The Secret History of the CIA http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=3028 Jim Marrs, Crossfire http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2489 William Reymond: JFK, Le Dernier Témoin http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2891 Dick Russell, The Man Who Knew So Much http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4734 Nina Burleigh: A Very Private Woman http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4641 Larry Hancock: Someone Would Have Talked http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=693 Nathaniel Weyl: Encounters With Communism http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=1055 Donald Gibson: The Kennedy Assassination Cover-Up http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=1064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) You are absolutely correct, John. You have an absolutely stellar group of authors who have agreed to contribute their judgment and opinions. I remember reading "Six Seconds in Dallas" when it was first published.

Thomas H. Purvis Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 All of us "older" ones owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Thompson for having provided us with those frames of the Z-film which the WC conveniently lost. SIX SECONDS IN DALLAS stands alone in it's search for an understanding of the many questions which have come about as a result of the WC obfuscation of the factual evidence. Thankfully, it does so without meandering into the speculative and frequently hallucinogenic theories of body kidnappings ; black dog man; sewer drain man; badge man; etc; etc; etc. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Tom, could not agree with you more. Mr. Thompson should add much to the Forum. Interestingly, some of the extreme conspiratorialists are now claiming that Thompson is (or was) a disinformation agent. It is unbelievable the charges made against someone who does not agree with the "conventional wisdom" about the assassination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 People might want to look at the debate between James Fetzer and Josiah Thompson on the Wellstone topic in the "Political Conspiracies" group. Makes my debate with Robert Charles-Dunne pale in comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
