Good article Joseph...and very much liked your book too.

[Joseph McBride]

Thanks very much, Peter, I appreciate it.

The trolls are dropping out of the review section and it is finally getting the 5 by 5 rating signal it deserves.

Hi vAlbert

One would think, with the 50th come and gone, that the troll budget would get cut back somewhat, what with the state of the economy and all.

Ah, but the military and intelligence - the two items that keep the Oligarchy and Secret Government in place has seen nothing but increases in budget year on year from WW II and a huge leap after their own false-flag 9-11-01.

Joseph, I think you did admirable work on your book and have come up with some interesting new information and eliminated some frequently mulled over 'chaff'. The one thing that I found missing in your book [at least in the ebook version] was an index. Does the printed version have one? I have always felt that the Tippit shooting was one of the Rosetta stones of the case...much ignored, and very subject to disinformation, distortion of facts, intimidation of witnesses, intelligence tricks et al. that started with that killing itself.

Peter, I appreciate your praise of the book. There is indeed an Index in the print version of INTO THE NIGHTMARE. The eBook edition
does not have one. That is typical of eBooks, since the pagination is not the same as in the print edition. Pagination
varies according to the reading device with an eBook, for one thing, so it doesn't mean the same or correspond to the
pagination in a print edition. And an eBook has a search
function that a print book doesn't have, so that is a way of compensating for not having an Index.
So both versions of books have their pros and cons in terms of formatting, which is one
reason publishers usually offer both choices these days.

I read a comment about a mispronouncement of the word asked, by LHO. Instead of "asked", he said "aksed". An easier to pronounce "aksed", was used when he referred to a question about the President's murder. I saw mention of a possible symptom of LHO's dyslexia. Maybe so, but I have heard that mispronouncement fairly often. Especially, by some of my Cajun French speaking friends from south Louisiana, but others as well. Maybe it was stress, and he returned to an easier pronouncement of the word "asked" that he likely used as a young child before an education taught him the correct spelling and pronouncement. Some of us, at least at times, have some difficulty with the pronouncement of certain words. In any event, I believe he said "aksed", and not "axed". JMO, but I can and do, appreciate Mr McBride's effort at establishment of true facts, by replying to the uh, uh, DM uh, version of the JDT murder case.

I used to look down on persons who said "axed" for "asked," until I heard a linguist say in a documentary that "axed" is the original form of the word in early English. "Asked" is a later, aristocratic, refinement. Forgive me if it is still too early in the day for me to trace the exact etymology, but "Oswald" violates a social norm here, not a linguistic rule.

One thing in "Oswald's" use of "axed": Would a non-native, non-Southern, speaker consciously lapse into the demotic form "axed" while under stress? Tends to aid in establishing that the arrested "Oswald" was an American of southern extraction. And "axed" is used in the Bronx as well.
