• Many Conspiracy Theories Don't Deserve Any Attention

    From David Von Pein@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 24 23:49:42 2023
    Replaying some previous Internet discussions....

    JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:

    I...showed...that [Vincent] Bugliosi could not be trusted since he said upfront that he would present the critics' arguments as they would want them presented. I then showed this was not at all the case. In other words, Vince was passing gas making that
    claim. I spend five pages in the intro to Reclaiming Parkland demonstrating how Bugliosi violated his own pledge. Therefore, how could the book be trusted?

    Now, go over to Davey's site and see if he notes this false claim in RH. Nope.

    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    In order for Vince to completely live up to his claim that he would present the case "as the critics would present it", Vince would have had to touch base with every single CTer who has ever posted on the Internet (or who has ever written one of the
    hundreds of books on the case), because almost every CTer has at least a slightly different theory or approach to the evidence in the case.

    A statement like Vince made ("I'll present things as the conspiracy theorists themselves would present them") is a No Win situation for Vince, because there is always going to be some CTer out there who will be able to say (after reading Bugliosi's book)
    -- See, I told you so. Bugliosi's nothing but a liar! He didn't present THIS part of the case in the exact way I think it should have been presented, and therefore I get to call Vince a cheat and a liar.

    It's impossible to please a JFK CTer. And by setting the bar so high with those words Vince used ("present the case as conspiracists want it presented"), it became a hurdle that would have been just about impossible for Vince to overcome even if he had
    written 10,000 pages instead of just 2,800. But I, myself, think Vince did just fine in debunking virtually all of the major conspiracy theories connected with the JFK murder case. Many CTers, quite naturally, will vehemently disagree with me. Well, so
    be it.

    JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:

    Why did he [Vincent Bugliosi] say it in the first place then?

    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    I don't have the slightest idea. But, as I said, such a "pledge" (as you like to call it) by Vince Bugliosi is really a No-Win proposition for Vince, for the reason I stated previously. Because there's always going to be a potential CTer popping up out
    of the woodwork in the future who could say that Vince didn't honor his "pledge".

    For example, let's say that the loony Brian David Andersen (the author of the "JFK Faked His Own Death" theory) pops up tomorrow and complains about Vince not thoroughly debunking his crazy theory about JFK exploding a pyrotechnics device on his head.
    Any number of insane theories (and maybe even some that aren't quite as insane as Andersen's fantasy) could have been added to Bugliosi's long book. But Vince (and his publisher) knew his book had to come to an end sometime. Not every nutty conspiracy
    theory could be explored in-depth and debunked individually to the satisfaction of CTers. (What could ever "satisfy" a CTer anyway? I know of nothing that could accomplish that task.)

    Another example of how a CTer's outer-fringe theory doesn't really even deserve to be included in a book like Reclaiming History (and I don't think it was included by Vince in his book, come to think of it) is a theory that you, Jim D., put your full
    support behind and have for years --- the theory of how Wesley Frazier and Linnie Randle (with the help of the evil DPD) just MADE UP the story about seeing Lee Oswald carrying any kind of a long-ish brown paper bag on the morning of 11/22/63.

    Now if you truly think that THAT "No Bag At All" theory is one that Vincent Bugliosi should have attempted to debunk in any fashion in his book, then you've gone off the deep end. Because that kind of crackpot fringe theory---along with the equally-as-
    nonsensical "Marrion Baker Never Really Encountered Lee Harvey Oswald In The Lunchroom At All" theory---only deserves to be laughed at (IMO).

    Corbett and Bud really need to tell David how unimportant this all really is. At least that's what they tell people who disagree with them. But when such a fanatic as DVP, who agrees with them, makes a big stink, apparently Dee and Dumb don't mind. So,
    it's okay for Nutter Retards to think the assassination is important, but not for people who know that it was a conspiracy. This is Nutter Logic once again.

    It's really important to only one person, Von Pein. Nobody else gives a shit about his "arguments".

    Notice that David Von Pein posts no evidence.
    No citations
    No documents
    No testimony
    No exhibits
    No witness videos
    David Von Pein does no research of his own, preferring to take the lazy way out and fall back on the conclusions of the Warren Commission Report and others like Myers, Posner and his patron saint, Bugliosi.
    What David Von Pein DOES post are comments, speculation, opinions, insults and links to his blog where the John Fettermans of the world can cheer him on as he "argues" with the world's best JFK researchers.

    You can gain NO KNOWLEDGE from his posts.

    That we landed on the moon is relatively important. That people say we didn`t is not.

    Indeed.

    So, according to Bugliosi, it was this "oval" shape that was
    "virtually conclusive evidence" of an SBT?

    Chickenshit is TERRIFIED of this simple honest question. He knows
    that Bugliosi was a moron if he truly thought this... yet you can't
    get Chickenshit to publicly acknowledge that Bugliosi said this.

    It's a simple "Yes" or "No" question, and Chickenshit cannot cite
    where he has EVER answered it. (Without immediately denying it.)

    So it's going to keep getting asked until Chickenshit answers it.

    many minor figures in the assassination. Would you accept their findings?"
    They would say "Yes, that's all we want." But here we are and here they are with the same old questions that have been answered again and again and again. They will not accept any investigation that doesn't support their conspiracy.
    The idea that all of these investigations were fraudulent and all of the people who conducted them - many of whom were/are fans of JFK - liars, that the entire near 60 year effort has been part of the original conspiracy to kill JFK is, frankly, an
    insane belief. It cannot be done. A Hitler or a Stalin could not pull of such an act. And you certainly can't do it in an open system like we have here. It is impossible.

    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    In order for Vince to completely live up to his claim that he would present the case "as the critics would present it", Vince would have had to touch base with every single CTer who has ever posted on the Internet (or who has ever written one of the
    hundreds of books on the case), because almost every CTer has at least a slightly different theory or approach to the evidence in the case.

    A statement like Vince made ("I'll present things as the conspiracy theorists themselves would present them") is a No Win situation for Vince, because there is always going to be some CTer out there who will be able to say (after reading Bugliosi's
    book) -- See, I told you so. Bugliosi's nothing but a liar! He didn't present THIS part of the case in the exact way I think it should have been presented, and therefore I get to call Vince a cheat and a liar.

    It's impossible to please a JFK CTer. And by setting the bar so high with those words Vince used ("present the case as conspiracists want it presented"), it became a hurdle that would have been just about impossible for Vince to overcome even if he
    had written 10,000 pages instead of just 2,800. But I, myself, think Vince did just fine in debunking virtually all of the major conspiracy theories connected with the JFK murder case. Many CTers, quite naturally, will vehemently disagree with me. Well,
    so be it.

    JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:

    Why did he [Vincent Bugliosi] say it in the first place then?

    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    I don't have the slightest idea. But, as I said, such a "pledge" (as you like to call it) by Vince Bugliosi is really a No-Win proposition for Vince, for the reason I stated previously. Because there's always going to be a potential CTer popping up
    out of the woodwork in the future who could say that Vince didn't honor his "pledge".

    For example, let's say that the loony Brian David Andersen (the author of the "JFK Faked His Own Death" theory) pops up tomorrow and complains about Vince not thoroughly debunking his crazy theory about JFK exploding a pyrotechnics device on his head.
    Any number of insane theories (and maybe even some that aren't quite as insane as Andersen's fantasy) could have been added to Bugliosi's long book. But Vince (and his publisher) knew his book had to come to an end sometime. Not every nutty conspiracy
    theory could be explored in-depth and debunked individually to the satisfaction of CTers. (What could ever "satisfy" a CTer anyway? I know of nothing that could accomplish that task.)

    Another example of how a CTer's outer-fringe theory doesn't really even deserve to be included in a book like Reclaiming History (and I don't think it was included by Vince in his book, come to think of it) is a theory that you, Jim D., put your full
    support behind and have for years --- the theory of how Wesley Frazier and Linnie Randle (with the help of the evil DPD) just MADE UP the story about seeing Lee Oswald carrying any kind of a long-ish brown paper bag on the morning of 11/22/63.

    Now if you truly think that THAT "No Bag At All" theory is one that Vincent Bugliosi should have attempted to debunk in any fashion in his book, then you've gone off the deep end. Because that kind of crackpot fringe theory---along with the equally-
    as-nonsensical "Marrion Baker Never Really Encountered Lee Harvey Oswald In The Lunchroom At All" theory---only deserves to be laughed at (IMO).

    Yes, and all because, it's claimed, JFK was some sort of radical president, a transformational one who was going to somehow end the Cold War, leave Vietnam, make nice with Castro and otherwise dismantle the national security "war" state. And he was
    killed to stop him from accomplishing all of this. Baloney. He was a moderate on domestic issues and a Cold Warrior on foreign policy. He wanted to normalize relations with Moscow to prevent a nuclear conflict but he wasn't going to surrender to them.
    And it was the communists who were the cause of the conflict not the evil military industrial complex.
    Case in point: JFK is killed and the covert war, e.g., Operation Mongoose, the Special Groups Augmented, on Cuba essentially ends. That was all pushed by the Kennedys - it wasn't the CIA doing it - and it ended with JFK's death. If he was killed, in part,
    because he was "soft" on Castro then why did these evil militarists lets LBJ end all of that nonsense? I thought they ran foreign policy?
    It's all conspiracy nonsense from beginning to end.

    JFK was loathed by the progressive wing of the Democrat Party in 1960. Eleanor Roosevelt
    couldn't stand him and only late in the general election campaign was persuaded to give him a
    lukewarm endorsement. Humphrey was the early favorite of the progressive wing and when his
    campaign sank, Stuart Symington was their next choice. Some even favored given Adlai
    Stephenson a third bite of the apple instead of JFK. Back then there were actually intelligent
    Democrats who realized that kowtowing to the progressive wing was a really bad idea.
    Obviously, that was a long time ago. The Democrats have since put the progressives in the
    driver's seat.

    if he had written 10,000 pages instead of just 2,800. But I, myself, think Vince did just fine in debunking virtually all of the major conspiracy theories connected with the JFK murder case. Many CTers, quite naturally, will vehemently disagree with me.
    Well, so be it.

    JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:

    Why did he [Vincent Bugliosi] say it in the first place then?

    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    I don't have the slightest idea. But, as I said, such a "pledge" (as you like to call it) by Vince Bugliosi is really a No-Win proposition for Vince, for the reason I stated previously. Because there's always going to be a potential CTer
    popping up out of the woodwork in the future who could say that Vince didn't honor his "pledge".

    For example, let's say that the loony Brian David Andersen (the author of the "JFK Faked His Own Death" theory) pops up tomorrow and complains about Vince not thoroughly debunking his crazy theory about JFK exploding a pyrotechnics device on
    his head. Any number of insane theories (and maybe even some that aren't quite as insane as Andersen's fantasy) could have been added to Bugliosi's long book. But Vince (and his publisher) knew his book had to come to an end sometime. Not every nutty
    conspiracy theory could be explored in-depth and debunked individually to the satisfaction of CTers. (What could ever "satisfy" a CTer anyway? I know of nothing that could accomplish that task.)

    Another example of how a CTer's outer-fringe theory doesn't really even deserve to be included in a book like Reclaiming History (and I don't think it was included by Vince in his book, come to think of it) is a theory that you, Jim D., put
    your full support behind and have for years --- the theory of how Wesley Frazier and Linnie Randle (with the help of the evil DPD) just MADE UP the story about seeing Lee Oswald carrying any kind of a long-ish brown paper bag on the morning of 11/22/63.

    Now if you truly think that THAT "No Bag At All" theory is one that Vincent Bugliosi should have attempted to debunk in any fashion in his book, then you've gone off the deep end. Because that kind of crackpot fringe theory---along with the
    equally-as-nonsensical "Marrion Baker Never Really Encountered Lee Harvey Oswald In The Lunchroom At All" theory---only deserves to be laughed at (IMO).

    If 60 years ago the conspiracy believers/theorists were offered this deal: "Over the next half century we'll have millions of pages of documents related to the assassination released by the government; we'll have multiple government
    investigations by several generations of Americans of all backgrounds; we'll have multiple news media investigations by, again several generations of reporters and journalists; and we'll have investigations done by historians and investigative reporters
    on the major and many minor figures in the assassination. Would you accept their findings?"
    They would say "Yes, that's all we want." But here we are and here they are with the same old questions that have been answered again and again and again. They will not accept any investigation that doesn't support their conspiracy.
    The idea that all of these investigations were fraudulent and all of the people who conducted them - many of whom were/are fans of JFK - liars, that the entire near 60 year effort has been part of the original conspiracy to kill JFK is, frankly,
    an insane belief. It cannot be done. A Hitler or a Stalin could not pull of such an act. And you certainly can't do it in an open system like we have here. It is impossible.
    They can't even agree on what might have happened. Different Captains on different ships carrying different cargo at different speeds in different directions on different oceans to different ports, yet they all pretend to be part of the same convoy:
    Team Oswald.
    Yes, and all because, it's claimed, JFK was some sort of radical president, a transformational one who was going to somehow end the Cold War, leave Vietnam, make nice with Castro and otherwise dismantle the national security "war" state. And he was
    killed to stop him from accomplishing all of this. Baloney. He was a moderate on domestic issues and a Cold Warrior on foreign policy. He wanted to normalize relations with Moscow to prevent a nuclear conflict but he wasn't going to surrender to them.
    And it was the communists who were the cause of the conflict not the evil military industrial complex.
    Case in point: JFK is killed and the covert war, e.g., Operation Mongoose, the Special Groups Augmented, on Cuba essentially ends. That was all pushed by the Kennedys - it wasn't the CIA doing it - and it ended with JFK's death. If he was killed, in
    part, because he was "soft" on Castro then why did these evil militarists lets LBJ end all of that nonsense? I thought they ran foreign policy?
    It's all conspiracy nonsense from beginning to end.
    JFK was loathed by the progressive wing of the Democrat Party in 1960. Eleanor Roosevelt
    couldn't stand him and only late in the general election campaign was persuaded to give him a
    lukewarm endorsement. Humphrey was the early favorite of the progressive wing and when his
    campaign sank, Stuart Symington was their next choice. Some even favored given Adlai
    Stephenson a third bite of the apple instead of JFK. Back then there were actually intelligent
    Democrats who realized that kowtowing to the progressive wing was a really bad idea.
    Obviously, that was a long time ago. The Democrats have since put the progressives in the
    driver's seat.
    Once he got the nomination they turned on a dime and supported him. They certainly weren't going to help the loathed Nixon.
    But again, this idea that JFK was some sort of pacifist, someone who was going to somehow "end" the Cold War and it was for that that he was killed is simply for me without foundation. And the claim he was going to just pull out of Vietnam - *regardless
    of the situation* - is also without any truth. He wanted to avoid sending in ground troops but he wasn't going to hand the South over to Hanoi either. What was he going to do? Hell if I know; but on November 22, 1963 he wasn't simply go to abandon the
    battlefield.

    They all agree with Don Willis that there was a shooter on the fifth floor and somebody trundled the evidence to the sixth floor?

    They all agree with Sky Throne that Tippit was shot in Dealey Plaza?

    They all agree with you that JFK's body or coffin was somehow diverted/kidnapped/swapped-out for a secret pre-autopsy to remove bullets and cover up the true number of shots and the direction they were fired from?

    They all agree with Boris the Truther a/k/a David Drummond that Oswald was complicit somehow?

    BEN HOLMES SAID:

    We've had a number of times where evidence was newly released to the public, and I cannot recall a *SINGLE* instance in which the new material didn't present real problems for Warren Commission believers.

    Can any believer document the release of ANYTHING after the Warren Commission volumes that *helped* the Warren Commission's case?


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    Sure can. Lots of stuff. (Watch Ben now move the goalposts. He asked above whether there was "ANYTHING" that was released after the WC volumes that has "helped" the Warren Commission's case. But the following list of "ANYTHINGS" probably won't count in
    Ben's bizarre world.) ....

    "In the final analysis, the committee based its finding that the shots that struck President Kennedy were fired from the Texas School Book Depository on the quantity and quality of the evidence, to wit: The findings of forensic pathologists that the
    shots that hit the President came from behind." -- Page 51 of the HSCA Final Report

    "The evidence indicates that the autopsy photographs and X-rays were taken of President Kennedy at the time of his autopsy and that they had not been altered in any manner." -- Page 41 of HSCA Volume 7

    "The decedent's head was struck from behind by a single projectile. It entered the occipital region 25 mm. to the right of the midline and 100 mm. above the external occipital protuberance." -- 1968 Clark Panel Report

    "Examination of the clothing and of the photographs and X-rays taken at autopsy reveal that President Kennedy was struck by two bullets fired from above and behind him, one of which traversed the base of the neck on the right side without striking bone
    and the other of which entered the skull from behind and exploded its right side." -- 1968 Clark Panel Report

    "On the basis of the investigation conducted by its staff, the Commission believes that there is no evidence to support the claim that President Kennedy was struck by a bullet fired from either the grassy knoll or any other position to his front, right
    front or right side, and that the motions of the President’s head and body, following the shot that struck him in the head, are fully consistent with that shot having come from a point to his rear, above him and slightly to his right."
    -- Page 264 of the Rockefeller Commission Final Report

    "In truth, Jim Garrison, and hence the Oliver Stone movie, has been discredited by these documents [released by the ARRB]. If you read them, you see he did not have a case. He had nothing to build it on. .... He simply didn't have a case. And for that
    reason, I think you can discard that conspiracy." -- Anna K. Nelson of the ARRB; October 10, 1998

    The irony is that John "George" Corbett is exactly the kind of "conservative" who would have thought that Ike was a communist and who would have cheered the murder of JFK, whoever had done it.

    BEN HOLMES SAID:

    We've had a number of times where evidence was newly released to
    the public, and I cannot recall a *SINGLE* instance in which the new
    material didn't present real problems for Warren Commission believers.

    Can any believer document the release of ANYTHING after the Warren
    Commission volumes that *helped* the Warren Commission's case?


    DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

    Sure can. Lots of stuff.


    And yet, not a *SINGLE* cite to any released information. *NOT ONE*


    (Watch Ben now move the goalposts.


    Goalpost never changed. You never reached it.


    And yes, as usual, I simply deleted your logical fallacies. If you
    cannot CITE released documents and show how they *helped* the Warren Commission's case... then... As usual...

    You lose.

    As you do...

    EVERY

    SINGLE

    TIME!
