Post by John CorbettPost by BT GeorgePost by John CorbettFirst time in a long time. Looks like it's become Ben Holmes's sandbox.
Hank, Bud, and a few others are doing a good job of kicking over his
sandcastles. He keeps building new ones. Most of the names I remember from
when I was a contributor there seem to be gone, Rossley, Walt Cakebread,
Gil Jesus. I know about Rossley. Do either of those other two ever post
any more?
John, this sounds fascinating! What and where is this "nuthouse" you
speak of?
Believe me it is interesting, but you will find no intelligent life over
there beyond the LNs that post like Hank Seinzant, Bud, and Chuck
Schuyler. Back when I had much more time I used to post over there, but I
am pretty sure my IQ fell 10 points every time I had to interact with Ben
and his fellow loons. Moreover, unless you have the stomach to to deal
with being accused of various forms of molestation and perversions by Ben
when he runs out of anything pseudo intelligent to say, I would definitely
read it a while before deciding to drop in.

Sam McClung (a name I remember) posts a video which claims JFK Jr. was
assassinated. I started to watch it but couldn't take any more after it
claimed that Hitler was just a puppet of American industrialists like
Rockefeller, Du Pont, and Harriman. I figured it would get only nuttier
from there.
That's a textbook example of "conspiracy history" that we have to try and
reason with. Oliver Stone's movie encapsulates this type of history, of
background to the assassination. It's the "JFK was going to end the Cold
War and that's why 'they' killed him" type of nonsense that we have to
correct, As I said before, just tell me who a JFK conspiracist dislikes,
who he thinks has ruined the country; and I'll tell you who they think
killed JFK. It's also why we have this odd alliance between far right
people and far left people. Both view "the Establishment" as being behind
the murder. For the left, it was the rightwing elements that run the
country; for the right, it's liberal elements that run the country. Both
see the same group as being behind the assassination; they just see this
group differently in terms of their political beliefs.
