Has It Really Been Four Years?

It seems like only yesterday in some ways; in others it seems like a decade. Some random observations:

1. Traffic is increasing again at 9-11 Blogger. Year over year, they're up 40% from 2009's levels, and that's not some flukey month; it was up 45% in January, 37% in February and 40% in March. That's still about 27% below 2007, but there's really no way to paint a smiley face on this. Any hope that the Troofers would move on to other things in the wake of Obama's election is out the window.

2. Nothing ever gets debunked permanently with these people. Put options and "eight of the hijackers are still alive" will be prominently featured in David Ray Griffin's 2015 lectures.

3. There is a conspiracy theory industry. Alex Jones, Grifter and Box Boy Gage are the current beneficiaries, but inevitably somebody else will come along to make a buck off the rubes.

4. Everything can be explained as part of the conspiracy. If tomorrow, God forbid, Obama is assassinated, the Troofers will incorporate that into their theories. He was getting too close to the "Truth" and so "they" had to get rid of him. Never mind that he was supposedly the tool of the elites; their opinion of him can pivot on a dime. I'm sure that somebody right now is working the oil spill into their conspiracy theories.

If Obama ever gets assassinated it will be because of right-wing extremists like you and James. It will your fault, and the fault of the teabagging, gun toting hicks that hate the fact a black man took office and they have to call him "mr. president".

However, on the other hand, it simply can't be compared to Kennedy, because Obama, in an ideological sense, is "neocon lite".

What point would that be, simpleton from Dimwit Valley, that you see conspiracy theorists everywhere? That would make you paranoid and delusional, now wouldn't it?

Bill Clinton talked about the climate of right-wing hatred. One of the most recent hicks arrested for scoping out Obama at an airport in a fake police car with sirens, radio equipment, a notebook of sniper rifle calculations, was another right wing extremist.

Fact: if Obama gets assassinated, it's the fault of you violence inciting gun toting, brickheaded inbred redneck teahadists.

It's amazing these idiots still think JFK was killed as part of a big CIA plot. He was killed because he was going to expose the truth about Roswell and all those alien bodies we have frozen. Seriously that is what some of the stooges think. They will never say as much in front of us, but they deep down believe every loony idea that get sold to them. Lack of a good baloney detector.

It's all part of the weak mental state that many people have. Lack of ability to think in a critical, skeptical manner. Believing something is easier than knowing something based on education and rational thinking.

We live in a world where magical thinking abounds. Astrology, and fortune tellers sell their bogus claims on TV and books. They believe Toyota's race away by magic and not driver error. Lights in the sky become joy riding little gray men. Free energy is sold to the scientific illiterate along with anti vaccination fears. Earthquakes and volcanos are caused by too much female cleavage. There are actually people out there that believe this shit along with 9/11 inside jobs. And of course the types that would buy the inside job scam are exactly the pin heads that would buy all the other hoax's. Scratch a truther and find a chemtrail kook or fake Moon landing idiot, or JFK goofball.

It's kind of good these kooks are so vocal, not only for the comedic entertainment, but because it give you insight as to the quality of the person. Truthers and other conspiracy minded people are not exactly going to be the people you hire and give responsibility to. Oh sure let them handle the grunt jobs where making critical decisions are not important, but you don't want them selling out the companies assets because they got suckered by a con man.

I will make a prediction right now.

If Obama is assassinated, Teabagger will make it out to be a plot by the liberal left. The left will make it out to be a plot from the CIA, FBI, NWO whatever.

If it happens. Logic tells you it will be like JFK, a lone nut in the right place at the right time. But conspiracies sell more books. And Oliver Stone will make a movie. A dedicated group of the gullible will buy the conspiracy theorist hype.

Why thanks Dave Kyte.

Now, about JFK, there is no way a gun splattering a brain from the back is going to throw a head to the back.

Not because of "muscle spasm", and not because of any back supporting corset. Period.

By this simple logical exercise, JFK was murdered in a conspiracy.

There are mountains of other evidence, but frankly, I don't feel like making the case to a pathologically denialist kook who thinks everybody who understands history better than he does is mentally ill. You should have worked on Stalin's anti-dissident team, you'd have fit right in.

It happen every time you hit a brain filled head with a high powered bluet from behind. Bullet leaves a small hole going in. The explosion brain and skull material from the exit wound in the front drives the head backwards. Been test and proven over an over using animal heads. But then you are not very well informed, are you?

False logic. You're assuming the bullet was the only force acting on JFK. The limo was also moving forward and that causes a limp body to fall backwards. Or do you think that JFK's body Suspended The Laws Of Physics?

Jeez, you guys are full of shit. Kennedy was far more in favor of American military projection then Obama. You shameless liars are just trying to incorporate his death into your cause for ideological convenience, just as you claim the US attacked itself on 9/11. Facts mean nothing to you, everything is dictated by your warped world view.

Yes, it is unfortunate that twooferism has made a rebound. However, I never really expected it to die although I don't expect it to ever amount to anything significant either. The most twooferism will ever accomplish is producing another Tim McVeigh who will commit murder (perhaps on a large scale). Will they ever convince most people the evil US killed its own on 9/11? No.

There is absolutely nothing that will convince hard-wired Truthers that they are wrong. That is just one reason why, despite their protests to the contrary, they are NOT scientific. They cannot even give an example of what would falsify their beliefs. In their world, anything that is evidence against their beliefs can be manipulated to make it for their beliefs. But also, 9/11 Truth is a way in which they make sense of the world. If you took it away then they would be completely lost.

People’s embrace of conspiracy theories is often driven by a sense of incomprehension towards the workings of the world.

Why facts won’t demolish the conspiracy theories

Great response, asswipe! You America-hating loons have tried to claim JFK was some closet pacifist simply for ideological convenience. Because he was killed you want to blame it on the "military industrial complex" or whatever, but you ignore all the man's actions when he lived. Remember "the missile gap", "defend any friend, fight any foe", the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, the troop buildup in Vietnam, just name a few? You dumbasses wouldn't know a fact if it bit you are in your sorry fat ass.

The JFK loons have to simply make up absurd things about Kennedy to rescue their already absurd theories. Essentially, JFK was just about to completely change all his policies and become like all pacifist and stuff and make everyone sing kum-ba-ya.

Of course, this is asserted on NO EVIDENCE at all. But since when did that matter?

In your dreams, dweeb. You're going to lose every time. Why don't you cut your losses.

"In the fall of 1961, unknown to the American public, John F. Kennedy was weighing a crucial decision about Vietnam not unlike that which George W. Bush faced about Iraq in early 2002--whether to go to war. It was the height of the cold war, when Communism was the "terrorist threat," and Ho Chi Minh the era's Saddam Hussein to many in Washington. But the new President was a liberal Massachusetts Democrat (and a decorated war veteran), not a conservative Sunbelt Republican who claimed God's hand guided his foreign policy. JFK's tough-minded instincts about war were thus very different. Contrary to what many have come to believe about the Vietnam War's origins, new research shows that Kennedy wanted no war in Asia and had clear criteria for conditions under which he'd send Americans abroad to fight and die for their country--criteria quite relevant today. "

Contrary to your anti-American delusions, most Presidents don't relish sending troops off to fight, so that statement may well be true. However, the fact of the matter is the US troop strength in Vietnam grew throughout his time in office.

I'm sure Kennedy didn't want war, I'm sure Obama would love to be out of Iraq and Afghanistan, there is this little problem of a islamic terrorist threat that you dumbfucks want to pretend doesn't exist.

Ballistics & Forensic Experts on the JFK Head Shot

Q. What is your opinion, based upon the expertise that you have acquired in these 18 years at the Edgewood Arsenal in wound ballistics, with respect to the question of the direction from which the bullet came that struck the President in the head?

A. Well, the President in 313, the head appears to have moved slightly forward from the previous frame. Now, I say appears, because unless you measured this precisely you don't know. But it appears to have moved slightly.

And this would not be inconsistent with the momentum of the bullet being transferred to the head. Whereas I said a bullet cannot knock a person down or move a body in any violent way, it could conceivably move the head a little bit. We fired at human skulls filled with gelatin sitting on the table, and they would roll off the table. And this apparent side movement of the head is in the correct direction if the bullet came from the book depository.

Q. That is, from the rear of the President?

A. From the rear of the President.

Q. Now, then, what can you tell us with respect to the subsequent action of the President's head and body after that initial apparent slight movement forward?

A. There could be two reasons for it. One reason, there is a jet of blood and brain material from the head, some bone seemed to fly up in the air, but the bulk of it appears to fly forward and maybe slightly to the right. This gives an indication that that is possibly in the direction that the bullet exited from the skull.

Every sane person knows truthers have problems.

Mostly with irony...the idiots at 911oz decided 'chemtrails' are nonsense.

Why? Check this out:

"We also note that those who promote the chemtrail theory have been unable to get any experts on side with their ideas, and they also fail to produce evidence (other than photos of contrails) to support their claims. We note that measuring the amount of barium in a water supply tells is nothing about where that barium came from, and the use of such measurements as evidence is scientifically worthless.

If you disagree with our findings please present your evidence in a rational, scientific manner and we will give it our attention!"

Dave Kyte, you steaming pile of horseshit, don't you understand that I realized you were going to cite the Rockefeller Commission the minute you started yammering about goat heads. Didn't I warn you that I'm always two steps ahead of you?

Isn't obvious that you're scared to name the expert you are citing above? His name is Alfred G. Olivier.

Here's why you don't tell us his name, and hope nobody clicks the source:

"Since it was a former Warren Commissioner, President Ford, who had nominated Nelson Rockefeller to head the commission and who had also suggested David Belin be executive director, a Warren-friendly outcome was not entirely unexpected. Such an outcome was further assurred when Warren Commission consultant Alfred Olivier was nominated and when forensic experts with ties to previous investigations were picked. As previously noted, Rockefeller’s, and perhaps Ford’s, preference for reliable appointees was apparently not restricted to those selected to investigate JFK’s murder. In their authoritative 1995 book about Nelson Rockefeller, Thy Will Be Done, authors Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett suggest that the fix was put in the moment President Ford named Rockefeller to head the investigation of the CIA."

history-matters.com

And the Youtube video you linked is hilarious: it's strikingly similar in approach to "Beyond Conspiracy", a documentary I've seen years ago. They also tested the magic bullet theory with a similar setup. To my supreme amusement, they proved themselves wrong. I won't get into that now, but as for the head shot, it's from "JFK: Inside the Target Car".

Does it look anything like the Terminator-like skull splitter that happened to JFK? No. Does the head move backward and to the left? No. Hint: that's because they fixed the dummy head onto the neck so it wouldn't be able to move. In my next comment, I'll paste a Q&A with Gary Mack, WC apologist-in-chief together with Vincent Bugliosi. It's hilarious.

Gary Mack Answers Blog Comments

November 21, 2008

Gary Mack, curator at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, was asked by the producers to oversee the production and content of the Discovery Channel show, "JFK: Inside the Target Car." We asked for his personal comments about the program and answers to some of the
questions following the premier broadcast. For brevity, the questions
have been reworded.

Q: Why didn’t your test include Kennedy being knocked back and to the
left as seen in the film?


A: That movement, which is so obvious in the Zapruder film, was a separate response. We only tested the initial effect of the bullet striking the skull and where the blood spatter went. For test-to-test consistency, it was important to have the heads mounted in the exact same position each time, so we mounted them on a rigid platform.

Q: I noticed that Jackie Kennedy was not in the right position with
regard to Kennedy in your Dealey Plaza test.


A: She wasn’t and we didn’t catch it at the time. At the moment of the
fatal shot, Jackie’s head was in front of JFK, whereas our actor’s head was behind him. However, that error had no bearing on the purpose of the recreation in Dallas. The only actor who needed to be seated correctly was JFK, and he was perfectly placed. After all, we were only trying to show whether or not a sharpshooter could see his target -- Kennedy -- from the various locations.

Q: You said you had four target skulls, but I only saw three of them being shot. What happened to the missing target?

A: The “cutting room floor,” as they say, removed for time and clarity
by Discovery. Their decision was reasonable, as there wasn’t enough
time to include everything. The show’s producers and I very much wanted the scene to be shown; for that reason, it will be included in the DVD release of the show. But you can also see it below, as posted to YouTube or you click the hyperlink to see it on the Discovery Channel News site. For that shot, fired from behind, Michael missed
the spot on the skull slightly, resulting in damage on the right side
of the skull. Nevertheless, the blood spray pattern was very similar to the second attempt from our Depository window.

The fourth target skull didn't show up in the televised show. But you
can see it here: (removed)

Q: So what happened to the bullets you fired? Were they examined after
the shots?


A: Michael Yardley fired four times, but only one bullet was
recovered.
One bullet, of course, fragmented as it was designed to do.
Two of the other three were never found. The two bullets fired from
behind went through the target and continued through the mock limousine and struck the ground. One went off down the gun range and the other lodged under the tire of the wind machine. It was significantly deformed, but that could have happened when it struck
the ground first.

Q: So the bullets that hit the head did not fragment like Oswald’s did?

A: No, and that was quite a surprise. [ LOL!! ] Carcano bullets are military, metal jacketed bullets designed not to fragment upon impact. Oswald’s did, but ours did not. We do not know why that happened.

Q: Why did you choose such odd colors for the brain interior?

A: We did not want to use red, since that would have been rather gross to watch. And we couldn’t use a clear liquid since that wouldn’t show up on camera. For best visibility on television, we used bold colors that were easy to see. The HD version of the show has clearer images than the regular TV version.

Q: Why did you use a Mannlicher Carcano rifle for the grassy knoll shot? Wouldn’t a gunman there use something smaller or less noisy?

A: As mentioned by our narrator, we could have used almost anything, since we were dealing with a hypothetical situation. We decided on an identical rifle to Oswald’s because, if he had been framed for the assassination (Oswald claimed he was “a patsy”), it seems likely that another gunman would use the same ammunition. If a different weapon were used, investigators would find that evidence and conclude there were two guns. A conspiracy to frame Oswald would want investigators to think there was only one gun.

Q: How do you really know the wind was blowing straight at the car? I know you referenced the weather bureau data, but maybe the wind gusts came at an angle?

A: A home movie by Marie Muchmore, taken from the other side of the street from Zapruder, shows the moment of the fatal head shot. Eyewitness Jean Hill appears near the limousine and her coat is blown directly to her right, thus indicating the precise direction of the wind at that moment in time.

[ WOW, I guess that justifies placing the equivalent of a hoovercraft in front of the limo, LOL ]

Q: I noticed that your depository shot severely damaged the top right of the target skull, but that’s not what happened to Kennedy. Why the difference? [ ROFLMAO ]

A: Although our test shot struck very, very close to the actual bullet entry hole, no such test can be absolutely exact. What’s more important is the effect of the bullet and whether or not the blood spatter matches the film of the actual shooting or not.

[ Yet, in the TDC documentary, they admit that the car was (illegally) cleaned prior to being photographed or investigated, and yet that photograph clearly contradicts Gary Mack & TDC! ]

Q: Why did you ignore the "magic bullet theory" that Kennedy and Connally were both wounded by one bullet?

A: We tackled that theory in the third of four Unsolved History programs for the Discovery Channel. In that program, Beyond the Magic Bullet, the producers concluded that the "magic bullet" was possible, though the results may not have been as conclusive as the test in "JFK: Inside the Target Car."

[ ROFLMAO!!! How promising! ]

Best regards,

Gary Mack

Now about them placing Jackie Kennedy in the right place, that's very important, because in the documentary they falsely claim that a shot from the Grassy Knoll would have hit Jackie Kennedy.

These are the people that you stake your claim on, Dave Shyte? You're gullible, lazy, and foolhardy, like the rest of your state worshiping club.

Anonymous: when they explode into the de rigeur platitudes about real Americans, anti-American, that simply means you're poking the stick into the wingnut's sensitive spots.

They're going to howl.

The amount of evidence of a Kennedy conspiracy continues to grow and the spread of documents and films is increasingly hard to stop. The gatekeepers and so-called "skeptics" are foaming at the mouth and panicking. They are starting to realize that pure "skepticism" has absolutely nothing to do with adopting the government position in all discussion.(They were never skeptics anyway, but Hegelian wingnuts posing as such)

'"Kennedy was far more in favor of American military projection then Obama."

Bullshit.'

Google 'Bay of Pigs' and 'Flexible Response'. Familiarise yourself with the buildup of the US military presence in Vietnam (900 'advisors' in 1960 to 15,000 in 1963). Then pull your head out of your arse.

It means 'I'm a complete cretin and an O2 thief, and I gave up making sense at the same time I pretended to be an Iraq war veteran. My life completely sucks'.

'screedy'? Never heard that one before. OK, let's check the Oxford English. Nope, not there.

Does anyone have a spastic's dictionary available?

'And that's no fabrication!'

Unlike your 36 month long combat tour with the Special Forces on OIF.

I'm still waiting for you to prove that Rigi was a CIA asset, BTW.

Poor,poor pitiful Professor SackofGarbage,his magic Wand of Discernment has been stuck up his iron butt for so long he thinks greasy bread tastes like a chocolate milkshake! As far as JFK,I agree with the Motor City Nutjob on the fact that Kennedy was shot from behind only.The second bullet exploded his head as it exited and the reason his head snapped back was a reflex action.This fact has been elaborated on by many doctors and the footage,when slowed down,clearly shows his head moving slightly forward as the second shot hits him,explodes out,and then he lurches backward and to the side into Jackie's lap.How this fact discounts a conspiracy is beyond me,though.It merely deals with the contention that shots came from the grassy knoll,and the evidence is inconclusive on that.To me,the clip on youtube.com of the Secret Service men being called off the rear bumpers (by a replacement for the usual Chief)as they left for downtown Dallas is very suspicious.It's called "Secret Service stand down".

If you weren't being dishonest about this yellow journalism hit blog, I wouldn't have said anything. Or you approve of the yellow journalism tabloid trash here that passes for news. If that's the case, you deserve to be trolled.
