Hold on, BAC can find a way to blame X42 for damned near anything. I'm sure that the guys who did Ron Brown in had something to do with this too.
BAC, Beckett had a suspicious, sword-shaped wound in his head...coincidence? I think not!
I believe THIS is what you were looking for.
The tragedy was fatal to the King. The murder of one of the foremost of God's servants, like the breaking of a feudal oath, struck at the heart of the age. All England was filled with terror. They acclaimed the dead Archbishop as a martyr; and immediately it appeared that his relics healed incurable diseases, and robes that he had worn by their mere touch relieved minor ailments. Here indeed was a crime, vast and inexpiable. When Henry heard the appalling news he was prostrated with grief and fear. All the elaborate process of law which he had sought to set on foot against this rival power was brushed aside by a brutal, bloody act; and though he had never dreamed that such a deed would be done there were his own hot words, spoken before so many witnesses, to fasten on him, for that age at least, the guilt of murder, and, still worse, sacrilege.-- Winston Churchill, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.
"Then, with another blow received on the head, he remained firm. But with the third the stricken martyr bent his knees and elbows, offering himself as a living sacrifice, saying in a low voice, 'For the name of Jesus and the protection of the church I am ready to embrace death.'
But the third knight inflicted a grave wound on the fallen one; with this blow he shattered the sword on the stone and his crown, which was large, separated from his head so that the blood turned white from the brain yet no less did the brain turn red from the blood; it purpled the appearance of the church with the colors of the lily and the rose, the colors of the Virgin and Mother and the life and death of the confessor and martyr.
The fourth knight drove away those who were gathering so that the others could finish the murder more freely and boldly. The fifth - not a knight but a cleric who entered with the knights - so that a fifth blow might not be spared him who had imitated Christ in other things, placed his foot on the neck of the holy priest and precious martyr and (it is horrible to say) scattered the brains with the blood across the floor, exclaiming to the rest, "We can leave this place, knights, he will not get up again."
I love the frankness of History.
Just though I'd pass that tale along.
It is his feast day today according to the liturgical calendar of the traditional Catholic Church. I know that changes have been made and that some Saints' Days were shifted, and many Saints were dropped altogether from the calendar.
Are you suggesting that you don't blame X42 for ANYTHING? Afterall, you seem to espouse the "move-on" philosophy as far as ANY Clinton administration scandal is concerned. You say you don't believe that Brown was murdered (yet can't seem to come up with any reason other than to say you BELIEVE the Air Force's report which doesn't even MENTION the opinions of its expert pathologists, photographer or the x-rays that seem to support the contention that Brown may have had a bullet wound in his head). Where do you stand on Chinagate, Filegate, Emailgate, the death of Foster and the Riady non-refund. Let's just see if you are as conservative as you CLAIM to be.
Why are you so afraid of a simple exhumation and autopsy of Ron Brown's body? Why won't you discuss what the pathologists say, and what the photos and x-rays show? Those items ALONE should be enough to warrant an exhumation and autopsy. Then we could settle this once and for all. And if the result was no exit wound, no spent round and no metal fragments in the skull, I would be the FIRST to say YOU were right. But until then, all you are doing is SPINNING. Which is something the democRATS are very good at ... along with suggesting that Clinton is innocent of ANY crime.
You suggest that the Ron Brown case is nothing but circumstantial evidence, hearsay and fabrication, when you WON'T address the EXPERT pathologist opinions and what the photos and x-rays suggest. That is nothing short of DISHONEST ... as is trying to associate the Brown case with other conspiracies that you think the public will consider ridiculous. Why didn't you just come out and do what the mainstream media tried to do ... associate those who believe Brown might have been shot with UFOologists? New marching orders?
By the way, are you still claiming that "there was NO exit wound"? That's an example of the type of disinformation you tried to spread and that you didn't retract when called to task on it. I will say it again ... the photographer and ALL of the pathologists at the examination stated that they didn't even look for an exit wound in the locations where it probably would have been. Now why would you CLAIM they did ... unless you are the democRAT your debating tactics suggest?
