Nelson's LBJ Mastermind book

[Charles Drago]

Has there ever been a time when Charles Drago issued so many posts filled with so much vitriol and stocked with so many ad hominems in the history of this forum?

Has there ever been a time when a more dangerous-to-the-cause claim as Nelson's "LBJ as 'mastermind'" been propagated by someone ostensibly on the side of the angels?

If DiEugenio needed an ally to salvage him from intellectual dismemberment, Charles rose to the call. No doubt, it was inspired by his common cause with shared beliefs, where it is not Nelson/Morrow we should contemplate but DiEugenio/Drago.

I have not formed any sort of alliance with Jim DiEugenio on this matter. I do not champion his analyses of Nelson's disinformation other than to state publicly that I share Jim D.'s appreciation of the LBJ as "mastermind" canard as just that: at best, an absurd, unjustified-by-fact conclusion.

Period.

Can't you see that your presentation of an Us v. Them paradigm is precisely what a hostile agent provocateur would wish to stimulate?

And for the record, I have not made the charge that Nelson is a de facto agent provocateur. I write again: If a man shoots you in the head because he honestly believes that it will cure your migraine ... you still end up dead.

The severity of my language regarding Nelson and his book is a function of my appreciation of the de facto assault on truth -- and on the sacrifices of so many warriors for the truth, including you -- represented by his "mastermind" conclusion.

We are at war with the true Sponsors of JFK's murder. I shall not engage in polite debate with anyone who, intentionally or otherise, would protect the true Sponsors by nominating false Sponsors.

Nor should you.
