Plaza Man: Bob Groden vs the city of Dallas

[Peter Lemkin]

No I don't think so Lauren. If you read my linked piece, How Gary Mack became Dan Rather, he just fell into some unfortunate circumstances in his life. And they made him this offer and with the help of his new pal Dave Perry, he took it.

I agree with Jim here.....none of us likely will fully know or understand how he changed from a real researcher, freely advocating there was a conspiracy [and Mack even coming up with new photo information to bolster that], into a snake oil salesman for the Cover-Up at the 6th Floor Propaganda Musem. Even people who knew him well and I knew a few of them [Marrs, Groden, White, and several others] said they found the change very odd, rather sudden, and very hard to understand. I guess he was just the type that could change their convictions depending on which way the gravytrain was blowing. Sad. In his last decade or so I had so many battles with him on forums and in private emails...he'd always send me private emails to my posts, as he did to many other researchers - claiming as part of his contract with the 6th Floor he couldn't or shouldn't get involved in debates on forums - although he often posted bullshit for the Borg. It is a very sad story and an interesting one someone sometime might research and write up. We know the broad outlines, but not some of the life battles he may have been going through or what his personality was like. He, like Darth Vader, went from the good side to the Dark Side and seeming took it in stride.......never looking back much...although he never repudiated his badgeman work [which only proves his hypocrisy]. In the end, he was a tragic figure - but not the first this happened to. Others, such as Russo, were obviously 'sleepers', but I don't suspect 'Mack' was....just vulnerable in some way or ways. Yes, and Dave Perry was his guide into the Valley of Darkness. Perry I suspect of having ties to those who run the Valley of Darkness. I have heard Mack was offered $400.000 or more to start at a time he was needy for money.....and likely made more as time went on.....in exchange for his change of 'heart'.
