Nelson's LBJ Mastermind book

[James H. Fetzer]

Just for the record, I have never called Charles Drago "a liar". When I asked him if
he had read the book, he, through Dawn, replied that he had. He subsequently said
so in a post of his own. But he was making no reference to any of the contents of
Phil's book. When I asked him when he obtained and and when he read it, he did
not respond. And it only NOW appears that he has a copy of the book in his hands,

BUT HE HASN'T READ IT. He has skimmed a few pages to find what he wants to use
as his pile driver, namely, what Phil has said about the word "mastermind". That's it!
That's all he has read. And it is OBVIOUS that he didn't have the book before or the
style of this post would not be so very different than everything he has said before.
I have not called him a liar in the past, but I must concede the term now seems to fit.

How can I possibly be wrong about this? Suddenly, we have a compete change in the
style of his posts. NOW we have indications that he has access to a copy of the book.
But why should he claim that HE HAS READ IT? It is a huge and sprawling work that
runs 729 pages. No one who had come into possession of the book so recently could
possibly have read it. And anyone who has a copy of the book will know what I mean.

He is welcome to continue to assert things that he knows to be false with the intention
of misleading members of this forum, but it's a pretty hard sell. I doubt that many are
going to be taken in. What stuns me is that someone whom I have greatly admired in
the past should be so shameless about trying to deceive us all when he was caught in
the act. And now, unsurprisingly, he wants to call it off, shut it down, and claim that I
am the one who is at fault! Forgive me, Charles Drago, but I took you for your better.

And so it ends.

Let this last claim of "conclusive proof" of something that is patently false tell us all we need to know about the tragedy that is Jim Fetzer's fall.

It is of a kind with Jim's conclusive proof that Hunt was telling the truth, that Nelson is guilty at most poor word choice ...

But why go on?

Jim, you've called me a liar on at least three occasions. You were and are wrong, although I believe you suspended all critical judgement in the rush to defend your indefensible positions and thus convinced yourself that your accusations about me were true.

They were not.

I forgive you. I seek no apology. Life goes on.

Time will heal whatever wounds linger.

And the truth will set us free.

In the meantime, I shall consider my capital spent as far as you're concerned. I wish you well with your investments in the disinformationalist Nelson and the idiot son, Morrow.
