Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy

[James H. Fetzer]

Lyndon was from Texas. He told Madeleine, when she confronted him
at the Driskill Hotel on New Year's Eve of 1964, that the CIA and the
"oil boys" had decided JFK had to be taken out. I have not read what
Craig has in this new book (apart from what's available on-line), but
it looks very good to me and to others who understand this case. For
you to make up piles of garbage with no foundation is despicable, but
that appears to be your greatest strength. You really do smell bad--
and that's quite a trick over the internet--but somehow you manage it!

Jim,

Don't write like an idiot. Nigel LEARNED MORE about the case as he went
along. By your theory, none of us should ever CHANGE OUR MIND about
anything--because then we are not being "consistent". But consistency is
only important in relation to a specific set of beliefs at a particular time. If
we learn more on the basis of new evidence at a later time, the fact that we
no longer believe the same thing at time t2 that we believed at time t1 does
not mean we are "inconsistent". We have simply revised our beliefs based
upon new information (evidence), which is a rational response to acquiring
data we didn't possess before. You are smarter than this. Use your brain!

Jim

You didn't notice something interesting about the New Zirbel?

In his first LBJ did it book, back there in 1991, he was all for a Texas Conspiracy.

Now, a generation later, from the Contents, he has changed it to a Johnson/Mafia conspiracy.

You know, I don't think consistency is too much to ask in a writer.

This reminds me of that goofball Nigel Turner. In the first go round, he posits Steve Rivele's fruity Corsican Connection via Christian David.

Then, over a decade later, in 2003, he comes up with the whole Barr McClellan/Murchison/LBJ thing.

And no one is supposed to notice? Or ask questions?

Its this kind of thing that gets us marginalized into the tin foil hat crowd.

Look around and see where 'using your brains' have gotten you Mr Fetzer. Endorsing the likes of Rob Morrow and every other crankie bad theory, researcher and tin foil hat wearing kook thats come down the pipes since 1963.

It isn't a good look. Nor is comparing Phil Nelsons work to Jim Douglas's nor is saying that Jim Douglas's work endorses numerous works of crap foistered upon us by the likes of yourself. Your level of kookery makes Alex Jones look sensible by default and it takes some serious levels of incompetence to make Jones look credible.

Whether or not Mr Fetzer you were 'Ron' on the bridge in Ventura's show is irrelevant and I can accept that it was not yourself. What is relevant however is that a number of researchers and concerned citizens believed that the bogus evidence presented at the beginning of that show could well have come from you. Not only that but many obviously believed that you and you alone would have been foolish and attention seeking enough to have pulled a stunt like that.

It says much about the levels of respect you are held in by your peers. Not to mention the low levels practically all of us in the younger crop coming through hold you in. Your the president of the research communities very own tin foil hat crowd.

Would any body ever accuse Jim DiEugenio, CD, Lisa Pease, Bill Davy or even my old sparring partners like Greg Burnham, Bob Fox and George Bailey of pulling such a stupid and pathetic stunt on that bridge?

No they wouldn't! Some of the only other people I can think of worthy of such accusations are Paul Kangas and John Hankey. Now that's some esteemed company your keeping their Professor. Way to go!

Nigel Turner didn't learn more as he progressed. What he did was 'regress'.

I find it ironic (more like moronic really) that you criticise DiEugenio for being critical of Zirbels expansion into the mafia and then saying gibberish like 'people are allowed to change their minds' when did Di Eugenio ever say that people weren't allowed to? He was merely making a sarcastic comment about Zirbels crap book.

Oh and if anybody is offended by what I write here I ask them to take a good long hard look at the posts and attacks Mr Fetzer has made over time and they'll find I am positively mild.

Go get em professor the McAdams and Macks of this world are positively trembling at the thought of you.:pinkelephant:
