Yes. Greg is a fine JFK researcher. And it is good to have another internet venue which hosts a voice against the lone nutters. Just a pity he needed to be moderated here for his Koch Brother Heartland Institute type climate change lunacy and spamming. But he is free to post what he likes on hi own forum. He won no friends here either with his rude and threatening emails/PMs. Not up there with Charlie's vitriolic spleen splattered communications but nasty and unwelcome nonetheless.

Piper's book just rests on one quote from some criminal Cuban reject. That needed to be pointed out and debunked and there it should have rested. But it didn't and the circus clowns played on and on and on....
" I wanted to dismiss Michael Piper's work until I read that Shamir had said "Jerusalem was worth a life" about the killing of diplomat Folke Bernadotte and read of JFK correspondence with Ben Gurion over the acquisition of the nuclear bomb by Israel and Israel's role as the middleman in the Iran-Contra /CIA adventure. "
None of the great objectors who attacked this subject on this site mentioned a word to Mr Harper even though they rallied and accused me of being some kind of multi-person CIA operation infiltrating the board when I tried to discuss Piper. I think this shows that their previous protests were based on power abuse and the sport of hunting members under the guise of Deep Politics oversight. Which turns out to be a euphemism for those whom I disagree with because they present facts I don't want to admit rather than any real offense.
Albert Doyle Wrote:Honestly Greg's site is pretty good and its articles are well presented and worth reading. However when I read it I can't help thinking of Greg in a Charlie Chaplin uniform with two +'s on the cap warning against violations of site rules and not tolerating spies who will be detected by dangling participle. There's a taking oneself too seriously and anal need for total control feel to that site that Greg should be aware of. While the site is good I think it's real purpose and function is to give Greg total power and he should know it detracts from it and makes it look like a refuge for an eccentric sect willing to pay the price of esoteric incomprehensibility and isolation in order to guard their particular overly defensive faith. An overreaction to a self-created threat that doesn't exist like imaginary spies. I see Charles is right back to his bashing and mensa level juvenile delinquency.
And what a relief no more of that petty bullying here. The cult description would definitely seem that way to me too and others from what they say. The 'Sponsor-Facilitator-Mechanic' model is a great model but it is not the only one in the world. Some other ways of analysis can and do work too. Posters should be free to use other models and defend them, some are definitely better than others, and not be forced to use a dogmatic one size fits all size 6 shoe.
