Calm down, everyone.
As the 50th anniversary approaches, the accessories to JFK's murder will engage in ever more sophisticated disinformation campaigns. Among them will be efforts to lure respected researchers onto paths that lead not to significant evidentiary discoveries, but only to ridicule sufficient to maintain our cultural marginalization.
Speaking of lures: From the Rense story we have this quote --
"'When growing up in Irving, Texas (suburb of Dallas) my neighbor was Dr. Charles Baxter M.D., the Parkland Hospital coordinating surgeon on John Kennedy,' said ["long time JFK truth advocate" Brian David] Andersen. 'On November 23 1974, while I was photographing a hand surgery being conducted by the doctor, Baxter explicated and thoroughly detailed all of the events that occurred related to him regarding the treatment of Kennedy that was purposely excluded from the Warren Commission Report. The truth is so more outlandish than any kind of fiction.'"
Where are our instincts? Does this not all stink?
A certain weakness of our "community" is being exploited here. I speak of a shared tendency to over-complicate scenarios to the point where they are indistinguishable from Hollywood script pitches.
At least one regular poster on DPF -- a person whose intentions are, to my mind, noble -- is disastrously prone to such acts.
As stated elsewhere, I understand that intelligence operations by their nature not only are impervious to dissection by Occam's razor, they are in fact designed to be enhanced by applications thereof.
(To my knowledge, this perspective originates with me. Why has it taken so long to appear? Why has the Occam's razor canard not been previously challenged? Is the struggle more desireable than the victory? But that's a story for another campfire.)
And so we have been handed two new mysteries sure to consume vital energy and taint reputations.
Calm down, everyone.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
