JVB- A true witness or something else

[Magda Hassan]

It's always seemed blindingly clear to me that Baker is a liar - and I'd be much more inclined to attribute her falsehoods to delusion, mental health issues and/or a desire to make a buck than being on a disinformation mission. Either way, she's obviously an opportunist of the most cynical kind - whenever something new emerges about the case, or a particular area/topic becomes researchers' flavor of the week, she posts about it, weaving it into her story and claiming she knew all along. Her entire narrative is a badly woven patchwork of existing, well-known information and bogusly specific claims which either have no evidentiary basis or directly contradict evidence. Moreover, even if true, it adds zilch to our understanding of the assassination. Why bother dwelling on this tedious charlatan?

It might be easier to find JVB human if we could think of her as mentally ill or delusional. From my standpoint she is neither. She is cunning and thinks she can outsmart everyone. She is a creative writer. That's how this project started -- in a classroom in a college in NOLA with Joe Reihl as her instructor. She sits and imagines that all this history is taking place around her. That is what a novelist does. She can see, hear and smell all the activities, and then she writes them down. She is in cahoots with Ed Haslam. They may have written MF+TMV together. They are both from Bradenton, FL. Haslam conveniently 'added' a false JVB to his book, and then later, the real one. Haslam got JVB to 60 Minutes. Haslam created an alternate reality that JVB walked into and claimed was real. Now they both do.

Hi Pamela,
Have you been in touch with Hank Albarelli? He has some similar things to say about Haslam. And doesn't accept JVB is who she says she is either.
