Those who follow the link should know that Evica's article appears on the website of Ken Rahn, a facilitator of the Lone Nut cover-up.
Charles - any thoughts as to why Rahn would have Evica's article on his website?
Jan,
Ken Rahn is one of the bad guys. On his website he offers bios of and essays by the best of the good guys so he can make subtle misrepresentations in the former and claim that he is an impartial observer of the JFK assassination phenomenon who uses it as the basis for undergraduate classes in "Critical Thinking."
Or at least he used to.
I may have presented the material below elsewhere, and some time ago, on DPF. If so, it bears repeating.
Rahn's JFK assassination/critical thinking class was offered at the University of Rhode Island (URI) in the early '90s. We met in that period, and he invited me to A) co-host a JFK assassination conference in Providence, and B) speak to his class about my take on the case.
Through it all, Rahn swore the he was a wholly objective reader of the evidence who had no dog in the conspiracy/LN "debate."
It was not long before he revealed himself to be other than truthful on both counts.
On a cold, late winter night during a working dinner at the late-though-hardly-lamented G. Goff's restaurant on the Providence waterfront, Rahn conspiratorially -- there's no other word to describe it -- leaned over the table and asked, "Can I convince you, Charlie [that Oswald acted alone]?"
Everything about his posture and expression screamed "come-on." I was being asked by a representative of the enemy to switch sides. Rahn wasn't fooling around or in any way making light of anything. He was deadly serious.
My one word answer: "No."
Soon thereafter I had occasion to speak to Rahn's URI class and evaluate the impact of his "objective" instruction. Immediately I realized that Rahn had stacked the deck to convince his charges that the WC was right and the conspiracy "theorists" wrong. One obnoxious little Poindexter actually held up his dog-eared copy of the WCR, stroked it, stared at it, and said, "This is the Bible."
More about Poindexter in a moment.
At the conference, Rahn was hoisted on his own filthy petard. He opened his presentation on the SBT by noting that, after that night and because of his research, all JFK conspiracy theories would crumble and the LN position would be proven beyond all doubt.
He then offered a math-based defense of NAA, and concluded that two -- and only two -- bullets accounted for all wounds inflicted upon JFK and JBC. Game, set, match, end of story.
In a flash the wonderful researcher and accomplished mathematician Stewart Galanor, without asking permission, walked to the blackboard (we were in a URI Providence classroom) and in less than five minutes demolished Rahn's work.
"Well," said Rahn, attempting to bluff his way out of Dodge, "what I presented is just a work in progress."
"'Work in progress,' professor?" exclaimed the incredulous Galanor. "I'm sorry, professor, but didn't you open your remarks by saying that your work was definitive? May we see your notes?"
"I don't have my notes with me," Rahn responded. "They're in my other briefcase."
Apparently Rahn chose not to go with the "my guard dogs ate my homework" excuse.
Then Galanor hit with another KO punch. He reminded Rahn that Rahn had used the same pathetic evasion tactic at a recent conference when his disreputable NAA work was challenged.
Rahn slinked back to his chair.
Back to Poindexter, who was in the audience that night. As part of the proceedings, selected Rahn students presented JFK papers. Poindexter, who Rahn proudly proclaimed had earned an "A" in the Critical Thinking course for the work at hand, read his: a statistical analysis of U.S. hospital emergency room physicians who are experienced in treating gunshot wounds.
Apparently, the chances of finding ER doctors with such experience at any American hospital are quite slim. Therefore, argued Poindexter to his teacher's broad smile of approval, we cannot trust the observations of Parkland Hospital doctors who treated JFK's gunshot wounds -- and who reported damage to the head that contradicts the WCR conclusion.
The problem is, Poindexter's critical thinking was fatally flawed: The only sample appropriate for his research was the readily available sample he assiduously ignored -- the Parkland Hospital doctors who treated JFK's gunshot wounds.
Had that sample been measured, the doctors' shared and significant experience treating gunshot wounds would have been revealed.
Ken Rahn is one of the bad guys.
His motives? I cannot say for certain, but in my Constitutionally-protected opinion I believe they included protection of government-originating grants for his work (Rahn is an atmospheric chemist who has traveled far and wide on the taxpayers' dime) and resolution of a family matter involving the illegal crossing of state lines and the FBI.
We might also note that it is reported that Rahn owns a large collection of recordings of Nazi marching songs.
I could tell you more, but the bottom line is that the now-retired Professor Ken Rahn is one of the bad guys. An enemy agent. Such is my informed opinion.
