Using high conspiracy logic to defend the Greer-did-it theory is, to me, like defending a moss-covered aboriginal shaman who comes in to a famous hospital and dances around the bed of a terminal victim who then recovers. Those who believe in the magic of this practice would then argue that witchdoctor medicine was being persecuted and "censored" by modern day doctors who were hypocrites for not following their own objective medical philosophies. Proponents of moss-covered, body painted, and beaded witchdoctors would then be able to offer a long argument for the highly technical bio-molecular aspects of organic jungle medicine. They would be able to mount highly sophisticated arguments for faith-healing and natural organic jungle plants etc. All this aimed at allowing moss-covered and body painted, talisman-staffed witchdoctors to do regular dancing around beds in hospitals with magic jungle dust.
One thing I did catch in the offerings of the Greer theorists is the misinterpretation of "a firecracker going off in the car". This was clearly meant as a description of Kennedy's head bursting open and not an actual blast in the car. The shots from the Knoll were close enough to mistake for being in the car when viewing this burst.
It's common sense that Greer couldn't possibly turn and shoot JFK without being either heard or noticed by all those around him. This is a prime example of both disinformation and conspiracy theory syndrome at the same time. Any major author who honors it is making a serious mistake in my opinion. By giving Greer a gun they are only handing a weapon to those who will use it to shoot their credibility.
