I have not seen the movie, but in your clip there it seems that Oliver
Stone has conflated the "midnight press conference" with Henry Wade's
press conference. And somebody did shout out at the midnight event, though
he wasn't shouting about the FPFCC. I think that person shouting might
have been Ruby, and Oswald, as well as the cops next to him, did look up
at this shouting person. Anyway I think Stone does a great disservice by
conflating these events. It just confuses the facts, whether or not these
particular facts are important. Most people probably think of the
assassination events in terms of the movie and have this burden of
conflation to overcome if they want to understand what really happened.

Thanks, John.

And here are a couple of related links concerning the NON-mystery of Ruby
knowing the name of the FPCC on 11/22/63:

I wonder if conspiracy hobbyists ever ask themselves why, if Ruby was a
co-conspirator, he would have drawn attention to himself by correcting
Wade regarding the FPCC. For that matter why would he even be at the
presser in the first place?

Ruby had to silence this guy:

Those round things in front of Oswald's face are microphones. That big
thing on the right is a live TV camera. Yes, "they" had to silence Oswald
so they let him do things like this. And talk to his wife, his brother,
his mother, make phone calls. Why would they let him do these things if
they were worried about him exposing their conspiracy? The conspiracy
response to this question is always good. Just wait.

First of all, having a cop kill him while he was in police custody would
hve been rather obvious, even to WC defenders.

Second, why do you ASSuME that Oswald knew about the conspiracy?

I don't think anyone said that Ruby was a co-cpnspirator. That is a straw

If he wasn't a co-conspirator, then that means when he killed Oswald he
was acting on his own.

That's interesting, since I can get the page, both from my home and

Occasionally servers get taken down for routine maintenance, usually on

As I have pointed out in the past, I was glued to the television that
afternoon after being let out of school and I shouted out the correction
as well as if it were a game show, and beat Ruby to the correct answer by
about a second or two.

Here's my response to "Walt" [Cakebread?] back in 2002 (posting as Joe
Zircon):

https://groups.google.com/g/alt.assassination.jfk/c/8qzO_HP_qlw/m/xygFOXAbrqkJ

Anyone watching TV that afternoon and evening and paying attention what
was broadcast knew the correct answer. Wade, as the District Attorney of
Dallas, was obviously too busy with other issues to spend much time
watching TV, heard it once, and remembered it incorrectly, getting it
wrong.

"Recollections 15 years after the fact aren't worth doodly-squat," unless

Obviously, not all recollections are wrong. But where the recollection
disagrees with the contemporaneous evidence, there is strong reason to
dispute it. Where it agrees, there is strong reason to accept it.

Do you dispute that Oswald's FPCC membership was announced shortly after
his name was announced to the press? Do you dispute it was mentioned
frequently throughout the evening and over the next two days on the
television and radio and in the papers?

How old are you, roughly? Were you of the age of reason on 11/22/63?

I was, and I wasn't living under a rock.

Here's something you snipped. You apparently felt it was unimportant. It's
not.

The difference between my recollections and Tarasoff's is his
recollections are disputed by his own contemporaneous notes (and we
covered that in detail in a different thread) and my recollections are
confirmed by the contemporaneous evidence. I don't trust all my own
recollections, I understand I am as human as the next guy, and just as
prone to false memories as anyone else, which is one of the reasons I
typically check the testimony and post a quote instead of just shooting
from the hip.

What specific reason(s) do you have to dispute my recollection, exactly,
given these facts:
(1) the evidence indicates Oswald's FPCC membership was repeated frequently
during the evening of 11/22/63, and
(2) My recollection has not changed in at least the past 18 years (since I
posted here on the subject as Joe Zircon in 2002)?

Hank
Tarasoff's recollections are disputed by your interpretation of his notes,
not by the notes themselves. It is his recollections which clarify the
notes. But the Nutter cannot use reason, let alone critical reasoning. To
the Nutter, everything which confirms his bias is reliable, and everything
which does not is "doodly-squat." Therefore, the Nutter vividly remembers
some TV show he thinks he saw as a child 57 years ago, but Boris Tarasoff,
and his wife, who also remembers the same, are full of "doodly-squat,"
when they remember transcribing the English conversation of Oswald 15
years before, because their recollections do not confirm the Nutter Bias.

I confess to being biased because I know the truth of the assassination
and I have never seen anything that would cause me to doubt that. I know
that Oswald was the assassin. Is it possible he had one or more
accomplices? Theoretically, yes, but from a practical standpoint no. There
has been zero evidence produced in 57 years of any accomplices and it
seems extremely unlikely any ever will surface. If you ever find such
evidence, I can assure you that I would be very interested and if it was
compelling it would cause me to reassess my firm belief that Oswald acted
alone. Nothing I have seen in this and other discussion groups over the
past thirty years would constitute that kind of compelling evidence.
You're welcome to keep trying though.

not by the notes themselves. It is his recollections which clarify the
notes. But the Nutter cannot use reason, let alone critical reasoning. To
the Nutter, everything which confirms his bias is reliable, and everything
which does not is "doodly-squat." Therefore, the Nutter vividly remembers
some TV show he thinks he saw as a child 57 years ago, but Boris Tarasoff,
and his wife, who also remembers the same, are full of "doodly-squat,"
when they remember transcribing the English conversation of Oswald 15
years before, because their recollections do not confirm the Nutter Bias.
I confess to being biased because I know the truth of the assassination
and I have never seen anything that would cause me to doubt that. I know
that Oswald was the assassin. Is it possible he had one or more
accomplices? Theoretically, yes, but from a practical standpoint no. There
has been zero evidence produced in 57 years of any accomplices and it
seems extremely unlikely any ever will surface. If you ever find such
evidence, I can assure you that I would be very interested and if it was
compelling it would cause me to reassess my firm belief that Oswald acted
alone. Nothing I have seen in this and other discussion groups over the
past thirty years would constitute that kind of compelling evidence.
You're welcome to keep trying though.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything at all. I hope that you and
your truth are very happy together.
There is only one truth but I am not happy with it. The truth is that
Oswald killed Kennedy. I wish that hadn't happened but it is the truth and
we are stuck with it. None of us can invent an alternate truth although
many of you keep trying.

"Recollections 15 years after the fact aren't worth doodly-squat," unless
they are Hank's recollections. Hank's 57-year-old memories are more
reliable than Boris Tarasoff's 15-year-old memories, apparently.
Obviously, not all recollections are wrong. But where the recollection
disagrees with the contemporaneous evidence, there is strong reason to
dispute it. Where it agrees, there is strong reason to accept it.
Do you dispute that Oswald's FPCC membership was announced shortly after
his name was announced to the press? Do you dispute it was mentioned
frequently throughout the evening and over the next two days on the
television and radio and in the papers?
How old are you, roughly? Were you of the age of reason on 11/22/63?
I was, and I wasn't living under a rock.
Here's something you snipped. You apparently felt it was unimportant. It's

A logical fallacy of a begged question. I was a conspiracy theorist until
I purchased the 26 Warren Commission volumes and the 12 HSCA volumes and
read through all 38 volumes - twice. I then saw what the conspiracy
authors were hiding from me by taking some claims out of context, quoting
selectively from the record, ignoring contrary evidence -- basically, they
were doing everything they accused the Warren Commission of doing, and
worse.

I didn't read the Warren Report and decide they were right because they
said so. That's your bogus argument and your pretense.
Post by 19efppp
They must bow before their orthodoxy. That's why they agree.
Nonsense, and I explained how I reached my conclusions... by reading all
the testimony and looking at all the evidence -- the same evidence the
conspiracy authors supposedly used to reach their conspiracy conclusions,
but I saw first hand how terribly they treated that evidence. I don't
agree with all the Warren Commission conclusions. But based on my own
first hand experience with the testimony and evidence, I agree with the
bulk of them. But I didn't simply accept what the Warren Commission said.
It's important to remember I came to the 26 volumes (and the 12 HSCA
volumes) as a conspiracy theorist, and I departed believing Oswald
committed the assassination.

and I have never seen anything that would cause me to doubt that. I know
that Oswald was the assassin. Is it possible he had one or more
accomplices? Theoretically, yes, but from a practical standpoint no. There
has been zero evidence produced in 57 years of any accomplices and it
seems extremely unlikely any ever will surface. If you ever find such
evidence, I can assure you that I would be very interested and if it was
compelling it would cause me to reassess my firm belief that Oswald acted
alone. Nothing I have seen in this and other discussion groups over the
past thirty years would constitute that kind of compelling evidence.
You're welcome to keep trying though.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything at all. I hope that you and
your truth are very happy together.
There is only one truth but I am not happy with it. The truth is that
Oswald killed Kennedy. I wish that hadn't happened but it is the truth and
we are stuck with it. None of us can invent an alternate truth although
many of you keep trying.

Only Nutters need agree on truth because they have their truth
handed down to them from on high.
A logical fallacy of a begged question. I was a conspiracy theorist until
I purchased the 26 Warren Commission volumes and the 12 HSCA volumes and
read through all 38 volumes - twice. I then saw what the conspiracy
authors were hiding from me by taking some claims out of context, quoting
selectively from the record, ignoring contrary evidence -- basically, they
were doing everything they accused the Warren Commission of doing, and
worse.
I didn't read the Warren Report and decide they were right because they
said so. That's your bogus argument and your pretense.

They must bow before their orthodoxy. That's why they agree.
Nonsense, and I explained how I reached my conclusions... by reading all
the testimony and looking at all the evidence -- the same evidence the
conspiracy authors supposedly used to reach their conspiracy conclusions,
but I saw first hand how terribly they treated that evidence. I don't
agree with all the Warren Commission conclusions. But based on my own
first hand experience with the testimony and evidence, I agree with the
bulk of them. But I didn't simply accept what the Warren Commission said.
It's important to remember I came to the 26 volumes (and the 12 HSCA
volumes) as a conspiracy theorist, and I departed believing Oswald
committed the assassination.

As I have pointed out in the past, I was glued to the television that
afternoon after being let out of school and I shouted out the correction
as well as if it were a game show, and beat Ruby to the correct answer by
about a second or two.
"Recollections 15 years after the fact aren't worth doodly-squat," unless
they are Hank's recollections. Hank's 57-year-old memories are more
reliable than Boris Tarasoff's 15-year-old memories, apparently.
Obviously, not all recollections are wrong. But where the recollection
disagrees with the contemporaneous evidence, there is strong reason to
dispute it. Where it agrees, there is strong reason to accept it.
Do you dispute that Oswald's FPCC membership was announced shortly after
his name was announced to the press? Do you dispute it was mentioned
frequently throughout the evening and over the next two days on the
television and radio and in the papers?
How old are you, roughly? Were you of the age of reason on 11/22/63?
I was, and I wasn't living under a rock.
Here's something you snipped. You apparently felt it was unimportant. It's
not.

The difference between my recollections and Tarasoff's is his
recollections are disputed by his own contemporaneous notes (and we
covered that in detail in a different thread) and my recollections are
confirmed by the contemporaneous evidence. I don't trust all my own

prone to false memories as anyone else, which is one of the reasons I
typically check the testimony and post a quote instead of just shooting

What specific reason(s) do you have to dispute my recollection, exactly,
(1) the evidence indicates Oswald's FPCC membership was repeated frequently
during the evening of 11/22/63, and
(2) My recollection has not changed in at least the past 18 years (since I

Tarasoff's recollections are disputed by your interpretation of his notes,
not by the notes themselves. It is his recollections which clarify the
notes. But the Nutter cannot use reason, let alone critical reasoning. To
the Nutter, everything which confirms his bias is reliable, and everything
which does not is "doodly-squat." Therefore, the Nutter vividly remembers
some TV show he thinks he saw as a child 57 years ago, but Boris Tarasoff,
and his wife, who also remembers the same, are full of "doodly-squat,"
when they remember transcribing the English conversation of Oswald 15
years before, because their recollections do not confirm the Nutter Bias.

willing to defend.

The difference between my recollections and Tarasoff's is his
recollections are disputed by his own contemporaneous notes (and we
covered that in detail in a different thread) and my recollections are
confirmed by the contemporaneous evidence. I don't trust all my own
recollections, I understand I am as human as the next guy, and just as
prone to false memories as anyone else, which is one of the reasons I
typically check the testimony and post a quote instead of just shooting
from the hip.
What specific reason(s) do you have to dispute my recollection, exactly,
(1) the evidence indicates Oswald's FPCC membership was repeated frequently
during the evening of 11/22/63, and
(2) My recollection has not changed in at least the past 18 years (since I
posted here on the subject as Joe Zircon in 2002)?
Hank
Tarasoff's recollections are disputed by your interpretation of his notes,
not by the notes themselves. It is his recollections which clarify the
notes. But the Nutter cannot use reason, let alone critical reasoning. To
the Nutter, everything which confirms his bias is reliable, and everything
which does not is "doodly-squat." Therefore, the Nutter vividly remembers
some TV show he thinks he saw as a child 57 years ago, but Boris Tarasoff,
and his wife, who also remembers the same, are full of "doodly-squat,"
when they remember transcribing the English conversation of Oswald 15
years before, because their recollections do not confirm the Nutter Bias.
I confess to being biased because I know the truth of the assassination
and I have never seen anything that would cause me to doubt that. I know
that Oswald was the assassin. Is it possible he had one or more
accomplices? Theoretically, yes, but from a practical standpoint no. There
has been zero evidence produced in 57 years of any accomplices and it
seems extremely unlikely any ever will surface. If you ever find such
evidence, I can assure you that I would be very interested and if it was
compelling it would cause me to reassess my firm belief that Oswald acted
alone. Nothing I have seen in this and other discussion groups over the
past thirty years would constitute that kind of compelling evidence.
You're welcome to keep trying though.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything at all. I hope that you and
your truth are very happy together.
There is only one truth but I am not happy with it. The truth is that
Oswald killed Kennedy. I wish that hadn't happened but it is the truth and
we are stuck with it. None of us can invent an alternate truth although
many of you keep trying.
The Nutter credo.
"There is only one truth: the truth that Oswald killed Kennedy"

"Recollections 15 years after the fact aren't worth doodly-squat," unless

reliable than Boris Tarasoff's 15-year-old memories, apparently.

I just read something about the Lindbergh case that has more than a little
application here about the arguments we sometimes see about "How could
Ruby know about the Fair Play for Cuba Committee" that your new page
attempts to answer.

Bill James, in his book here: _Popular Crime: Reflections on the
Celebration of Violence_
https://www.amazon.com/Popular-Crime-Reflections-Celebration-Violence/dp/141655274X
makes an excellent point about some of the books that came out in the 1970s
or thereafter arguing for Hauptmann's innocence.

== QUOTE ==

These books started to come out in the 1970s, in large part, because they
couldn't come out until the people who remembered the case had died and
been replaced by a public that was unfamiliar with the time and the facts
of the case, thus could be told tall tales without spotting the obvious
fallacies. A couple of simple examples: Hauptmann quit his job the day the
ransom money was handed over. Hauptman tried to explain this by claiming
that he quit the job in a dispute or disagreement over how much he was to
be paid. Well, it was 1932. People were standing in breadlines. Carpenters
didn't quit jobs because of little disputes and live off their
investments. People in 1935, at the time of the trial, understood that,
and they reacted to Hauptmann's claim with deep skepticism. People in the
1970s didn't quite catch it. He didn't like what he was being paid; he
quit the job, so what?

Of course, even if we assume that he did have a dispute over the money,
it's still quite a coincidence, but it plays different if you understand
the context. He quit his job, and incidentally, never worked again.

== UNQUOTE ==

I see the same thing is happening with those who didn't live through the
assassination and don't understand the finer points of the argument. They
lack the knowledge of the times, and arguments that make no sense to
anyone who lived through the event appear to be accepted at face value by
those who weren't born until after the event or were too young to remember
it.

I was curious if this was the same Bill James who is the godfather of
baseball analytics (aka sabermetrics). A few clicks told me it is. He has
a rather extensive bibliography on Wiki, mostly related to baseball but
there are a few other titles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_James

It is Bill James's system of evaluating ball players that was the basis
for the Brad Pitt movie Moneyball. It's a fascinating subject. His work
was known about for about a quarter century before the Oakland A's GM put
it to the test and now every major league ballclub utilizes some form of
it. It has also spread to other sports as well. In football, coaches are
now more likely to go for it on fourth down if they have the ball around
midfield and a better than even chance of picking up the first down. It
used to be rare they would risk it but analytics tells them it will pay
off more often than not. It also gives cover to the coaches who always
wanted to go for it but feared the criticism if they did and it failed.
