The Magic Tonsillectomy or Armstrong's Voodoo Science?
#81
David Josephs Wrote:::thumbsdown::

Let's go back to the beginning.

From "Lee Harvey Oswald's Cold War"
On April 17, 1945, Marguerite took a life insurance policy out on 5 year old Lee. On the application, Marguerite declared that Lee had undergone a tonsillectomy at the hands of a Dr. Philben on Jan 17 of that same year. Oswald's Marine records actually show that he was treated for tonsillitis on Jan 8, 1957 and again on May 23, 1958. These records have been used in the book "Harvey & Lee" as evidence for the theory within which suggests that the CIA merged the identities of two young boys with the eventual aim of sending one, pretending to be the other, to the USSR. For the sake of keeping things simple, the author refers to one as "Lee" (American born) and the other as "Harvey" (Hungarian born). The book tells us that it was Lee who had the tonsillectomy, and it was Lee who joined the Marines. The switch occurred, according to the theory, in December, 1958 when "Harvey" replaced "Lee" and began preparation for a false defection.

The first problem here is that the Marine records show Lee being treated for tonsillitis before the alleged switch took place. The second problem is that there are no actual medical records showing Lee Oswald ever really did have a tonsillectomy. The third problem is that even if Lee did have his tonsils removed, they can and sometimes do grow back.

1) You are still to address how Oswald had tonsillitis in the Marines PRIOR to the time-frame Armstrong says the switch was made.

2) You are still to fully grasp that tonsils can grow back. As you can see from the book, it has always been my position that it DOESN'T MATTER if he had his tonsils out because the can grow back. That it is more logical to some of you that his tonsillitis in the Marines indicates a second person, rather than the tonsils simply having grown back - especially since the timeline presented is impossible - is indicative of your steadfast and willful blindness.

Here is a little info for you, sport.
If you know someone whose tonsils have grown back, they probably had their tonsils removed many years ago. There was a period of time when the method used to remove the tonsils made it more likely for them to grow back. This method, which involved leaving the outer portion of the tonsils intact in order to reduce pain and decrease the risk of bleeding, is no longer used.

You are also yet to produce one piece of evidence that a tonsillectomy was performed on Oswald - let alone that Philben "cut his throat" to take the tonsils out as your side-kick claimed.

As with all your previous attempts to claim victory, this one is premature and merely an attempt to blow smoke and hope everyone will agree with you, and I'll be sent packing so you can go back to blathering about "false minutia" while carrying on a "detailed discussion and analysis of the H & L evidence" without having any of it questioned. I mean... who would dare....?
