Not everyone possesses the keen intellects that apparently have such contempt for this post. If you want to be angry at something, be angry that Penre's work has littered the Internet for a decade. Not all ridiculous things are so easy to dispel, take for instance the "Revolution" some have spoken of in other posts. Just because something is fairly impossible and is based on largely on fantasy does not mean reasonable people will not believe it. Take the many tribal religions that still allow a death sentence for apostasy, or the 2012 Mayan end of days prediction, the world is full of such untenable dreck and its still popular in many places. If we do not take the time to dispel it occasionally it can become a real force, like Scientology, if you ignore the fantasy, you allow it to grow and thrive.

Googling 'Wes Penre' (who I'd also never heard of, and who I will never think of again after I press the 'Submit' button on this post) I notice there is no mention of JFK at all in the first 5 pages of hits that come up. The internet is a big place, to be honest. Perhaps as the anniversary approaches you might like to refute and debunk some higher profile targets? Possibly you won't, but it's just a thought.

I had never even heard of Wes Penre before this post and I hope never to hear of him again.
Agreed. Why are we wasting time on this? Is this really where we are at almost fifty years alter?
Sigh...
