50 Years On, Finding Profit in 'Truth' on JFK Case

[Phil Dragoo]

Breed feigns objectivity, impartiality, and all of that--but there is no moral equivalence between state murder to foster permanent war and those who expose it.

Posner was immediately undone by Harold Weisberg, Case Open, and stands exposed as a poseur, plagerizer, cherry-picker and CIA stooge.

Is his defense of the late Ahmed Walid Karzai against charges the latter was a CIA tool and a drug lord not fine--as Russ Baker notes, Posner went to great lengths to trumpet a lack of proof of Oswald's CIA association--made possible by Angleton's manipulation of files and the agency's Shaw-like denial.

Bugliosi was destroyed in detail by DiEugenio's ten-part review.

Hanks' vision extends no further than Bugliosi's buttocks.

O'Reilly's nothingburger parroting of the Big Lie reflects his deal not unlike that of the Church Lady.

Posner trumpeted the finding of death by natural causes of Carlos Ghigliotti FLIR analyst for the Davidians on the verge of finalizing proof of 200 shots into the building the day Clark's tanks played puncture and incinerate as a "hero" planted a shaped charge on the Concrete Room to murder some twenty women and children.

Not for profit did Lane and Meagher and Weisberg and other pioneers devote years to pursuing the dangerous truth.

While Posner sneers at Stone's JFK--let him read DiEugenio's Destiny Betrayed--CIA with Helms at the helm went balls to the wall to destroy this grandstander with no case--ultimately admitting the fascist was nash--one of ours.

Unmentioned by Breed, James Douglass, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters.

Of note, the new forensic analysis by Sherry Feister, Enemy of the Truth, indicating the head shot was frontal--exonerating Oswald; additionally, destroying--yet again--the Single Bullet Theory.

Gerald McKnight showed the Warren Commission was a coverup (Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why).

Gaeton Fonzi exposed Blakey's sucking up to CIA, showed the HSCA to be a whitewash. We know Joannides stonewalled to protect CIA files--classified a half century later--though it was the act of a single individual.

DiEugenio reveals how dangerous Garrison was to the sword and shield of the cabal.

Parkland?

There's no chain of evidence for the Magic Bulletthe four who allegedly handled it could not later identify CE 399 as the bullet.

There's no trajectory for the Magic Bulletdespite the distortions of Dale Myers pointed out by Pat Speer.

There's no test bullet that's caused seven wounds, two through bone, and emerged looking anywhere near as handsome.

The throat wound was one of entry per several Parkland physiciansa finding so dangerous, Elmer Moore badgered Malcolm Perry all Friday night and Specter and Dulles piled on.


Custer saw metal in a missing C-3/4 x-ray per his deposition by Jeremy Gunn of the ARRB.

No, Mr. Breed, it won't do. Faux journalism fifty years after still smells like rotten steaks to 86you can't cook off moral equivalence in re the soul of a nation.

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul.

And that's the way it is in 2013 the fiftieth year of the Big Lie.

Some like Epstein did a measure of good work for a season. Then heard the siren call it seems.
That obviously continues as a strategy of tension's tactic today. The Confuseum is my thought.

Others like Pose-ner may have been born to the siren call.
Bugliosi? O'Reilly? Hanks? The pattern is nothing new.
I find comfort in that the Enemy is pinned to at best the HSCA/WC ver. 2.
Makes it easier to spot deception junk.

Sherry Fiester's work I can support in two major extents. One the trajectory she posits I find quite real and better still supported by solid evidence. Two her work as Phil said well, additionally shreds the Magic Bullet to Ray Marcus' "Bastard Bullet" in equally effective manner as her trajectory work.

Too much is too easy to refute in the Enemy's tired games.

Too much has become documented. Enough cats are out of the bag.
Their can only be one reason the CIA still refuses to release the DRE/Joannides files, that would be where the evidence would lead. Whatever that would exactly be.
Something the Enemy is working hard to hide.

Most here have to know already that the revolution will not be televised, neither will the truth, neither televised, nor spoken in radio, nor printed in controlled outlets.

The events the Enemy hid or continues to hide, taken as a whole are revealing.
PaperClip, Gehlen's Org, AWDulles covert empire independent of the USGovernment but inside the games of the Beltway always, (see Evica's "A Certain Arrogance")
Joannides, Jack White's "photogrammetry" rebuff, on and on. (HSCA publications)

All Lies of Cover-Up
The Enemy is trapped in their own crap.

All of it points to the ST Government and its desire for unending war.
The total control of information is a characteristic of fascist governments.

The trio of the moment - Bugliosi, Hanks and O'Reilly?
No possible way to think the truth will ever be borne by them.
Any more than the knowing can expect truth from Dunkel, or Nolan/McAdams or Pose-ner.
They can only deceive the uninformed.

Me?
I'll keep Prouty, Jones Jr., Garrison, Meagher, Brussels and Ferrell as my own choices.

As soon as I read the words "cottage industry" I have to stop. It hurts my head.

Ya lots of people profited from the assassination of JFK but not the legitimate researchers.

Jim Douglass for example is not even online. (Unless something has changed recently).

More garbage for the 50th. I have seen this article in different formats for many decades now.

Let Mark Lane do the honors and put Breed under a spotlight where he's forced to answer the brain evidence. Or maybe the imposter SS men on the Knoll.


Breed mocks conspiracy advocates as being obsessives who would go broke and end marriages in order to pursue their fanaticism instead of showing these people as the victims being starved-out by the state that they are. The French Revolution would have put Breed's neck to the guillotine blade.

FILE - In this footage taken by presidential aide Dave Powers and photographed from a television screen, President John F. Kennedy, accompanied by his wife, Jacqueline, waves from his limousine in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. According to an AP-GfK survey done in April 2013, about 6 in 10 Americans say they believe multiple people were involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F, Kennedy, while only one-fourth think Oswald acted alone. Belief in a conspiracy, though strong, has declined since a 2003 Gallup poll found 75 percent said they thought Oswald was part of a wider plot. The Powers film, uncovered by the Assassination Records Review Board and released Thursday, Nov. 21, 1996, shows Kennedy's trip to Texas Nov. 21-22, 1963, prior to the assassination. Powers ran out of film before the motorcade entered Dealey Plaza where the fatal shots where fired. (AP Photo/Assassination Records Review Board, Dave Powers)

By ALLEN G. BREED
AP National Writer / May 11, 2013

Academy Award winner Errol Morris is working on a documentary about the assassination. He did not respond to an interview request.

One film, critics say, has done more than anything to shape the public's perception of the assassination: That's Oliver Stone's 1991 drama, JFK.''

He made this kind of paranoid conspiracy theory respectable,'' says New York writer Arthur Goldwag, author of Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies.''

The movie tells the story of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, played by Kevin Costner. Garrison remains the only prosecutor to bring someone to trial for an alleged conspiracy to kill Kennedy.

The film is a remarkable litany of falsehoods and misrepresentations and exaggerations and omissions,'' Posner says. The reason that I'm so hard on Stone is because he's such a good filmmaker. If he was a schlocky filmmaker, it wouldn't matter.''

Shermer, of the Skeptics Society, agrees that Stone's role in stirring the conspiracy pot is huge.''

You tell somebody a good story, that's more powerful than tons of data, charts and graphs and statistics,'' he says. And Oliver Stone's a good storyteller. He's biased and he's very deceptive, and I don't trust him at all. But the movie's great.''

Stone's publicist said the director had chosen to pass on this opportunity'' to comment.

JFK'' took in more than $205 million at the box office, nearly two-thirds of that overseas, and has since raked in untold millions more in television royalties, pay-per-view, and videocassette and DVD rentals.

In the recent AP-GfK poll, respondents were asked how much of what they knew about the JFK case came from various sources. Only 9 percent cited movies or fictional TV shows, while the greatest portion, 37 percent, said history texts and nonfiction books.

About two dozen JFK-related titles are due on bookstore shelves in coming months, says Patricia Bostelman, vice president of marketing for Barnes & Noble booksellers. Among them is They Killed Our President: The Conspiracy to Kill JFK and the Cover-Up That Followed,'' by former pro wrestler and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura.

Other authors are taking advantage of the anniversary to reissue or expand on previous works.

Waldron is working on a book focusing on mob figures who confessed to being part of a conspiracy to kill the president. Summers is publishing a sequel to Conspiracy,'' incorporating material released since 1980, while Bugliosi has a Parkland'' paperback to accompany the movie release.

And Case Closed'' will soon appear for the first time as an e-book. Despite the mountains of documents released since its publication, and a mountain of criticism of his conclusions, Posner says there is no plan to update it, other than perhaps including a new foreword.

I moved on to other subjects,'' he says.

On Nov. 22, 1963, John Kelin was a 7-year-old second-grader in Peoria, Ill. He says the Kennedy assassination is my earliest clear memory in life.''

But he didn't really give the case much thought until 13 years later, when as a sophomore at Eastern Michigan University he attended a lecture by Mark Lane. It was the first time he saw the Abraham Zapruder film that captured the moment when Kennedy was fatally wounded.

Using slow motion and freeze frame, Lane made sure that all of us sitting in that hot, poorly ventilated auditorium understood that Kennedy's head and shoulders were slammed backward and to the left, and that Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged shooting position was behind the presidential limousine,'' Kelin wrote in a book, Praise from a Future Generation,'' about early critics of the Warren Report. In a way, that lecture was the genesis of this book.''

Kelin bristles at references to a conspiracy theory industry,'' preferring to think of himself as part of a grass roots response to the government's severely flawed, unsatisfactory explanations for what really happened in 1963.''

His publisher, Wings Press, has made intimations'' about releasing a digital edition of Praise'' for the 50th anniversary. Meanwhile, Kelin has written another JFK book a fictional account of how he came to write the first one.

It's kind of a satire of the present-day research community,'' he says, with a love story thrown in to try to broaden the interest level.''

The title: Conspiracy Nut.''
