I am a bit bothered by the assumption that Ferrell was simply a disinformation agent; starting with the fact that we have no actual proof of this, we have the additional likelihood that she joined AFIO for info purposes, just as, as I mentioned, Von Pein might easily sign up for the Ferrell site just because it has so much research. Rumor and theory are starting to appear as fact. But we need better evidence; Penn Jones was an early and courageous journalist, but spent a fair amount of time on tangents which had their own problems.
As for the dictabelt - the House Committee was about to close its investigation and declare NO SHOT from the knoll; that tape was the prime thing that forced them to reassess and declare, for the historical record, multiple shooters. And anyone who has read Thomas' analysis knows it is a serious piece of evidence. But if it had not appeared - well, then, the conspiracy side would have a lot less public support, both immediately and historically. This theory is like the Zapruder faking theory - if they are going to do it why do it part way and still leave it as evidence that supports conspiracy? I know there are possible answers to this, but none really make sense to me.
