Here’s a web site that is going after Michael Rivero’s conspiracy web site whatreallyhappened.com
Kennedy assasination? Yawn! Old hat. I'm sure you've read and debunked "Case Closed : Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK" by Gerald Posner. The problem with you conspiracy theorists, I noticed, is that you never respond to the debunking of your theories or parts of your theories. It's not in your program. You got your catechism, your dogma and you won't budge, you won't adjust. You haven't looked at the Lennon assasination conspiracy, have you, and you won't. It's awfully uncomfortable to see your methods, your thinking patterns on display in a certifiable fool, is it? After reading these theories for years and years, I'm interested more in the form than in the content, and the form reveals to me more about the psychological state of the individuals who cling to this silliness and make it their life's passion, than about the sinister, invisible men supposedly behind all the evil in the world.
I didn't agree with Mike on a lot of views. But I enjoyed his perspective. He is sadly missed upon FR.
Step 2. Apply the logical fallacies to the Warren Commission Report.
In other words, (you'll correct this, I'm sure) since there are logical fallacies in the Warren Report, there was a conspiracy to assasinate JFK?!
And that would be the fallacy defined below, no?
"Complex Question
Definition:
Two otherwise unrelated points are conjoined and treated as a single proposition. The reader is expected to accept or reject both together, when in reality one is acceptable while the other is not. A complex question is an illegitimate use of the "and" operator."
I agree- I think we all mostly have enough sense to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Howlin you're busted, please don't take that out of context.
He was wrong on the OKC bombing also. He tried to claim that the hole made by the truck was much smaller based on a picture that still had debris covering two sides. His whole hole[snicker] argument wasn't based on the truth. If I was a person investigating an incident, I would never want someone like that on my side because you find yourself spending too much time on nonsense instead of moving toward the truth.
But then again, you knew that didn't ya Buckshot??
Should I warn the other citizens of my fair city?
;O)

What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea—a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind: peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle, and worthy of our children's future.:
Speech to a joint session of Congress on the Iraqi situation (coincidentally or conspiratorially?) on September 11, 1990.

We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective -- a new world order -- can emerge: a new era -- freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony. A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak. This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and other leaders from Europe, the Gulf, and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come.
That's right; it was the first SHOE BOMBER!
