“’Freepers’, as they are known, are the backbone and cornerstone of the TeaParty movement. Ardent supporters of Sarah Palin...”
Apparently they’ve never visited a Palin thread on FR.
“not a single piece of relevant hard evidence has been found”
Maybe if they had found and interviewed Umbrella Man?
Given the qualifiers, though, “relevant” and “has been found”, you are correct! Some things that were found were deemed irrelevant.
Given the fog and mist, we’ll never know all the details. Just trying to piece together a simple car crash after an hour is difficult, going back that far and expecting people to have recorded or remembered relevant things is impossible.
I don't think she really connects the two beyond the idea that both were perpetrated by Islamic Swine. Don't forget that the Oklahoma City Bombing occurred more than six years before 9/11. There are several links on this thread that lead to summaries of Davis' reporting on and investigation of the Oklahoma City Bombing. And her book, as someone else already pointed out, should be required reading for anyone really interested in this.

It looks and smells like the Daily PUS.
“Maybe if they had found and interviewed Umbrella Man?”
They didn’t, you’re right. However, apart from the matter of whether Umbrella Man is important (and don’t say he’s important because conspiracy books talk about him; those books are sluts, they’ll talk about anything), you can’t get a hold of everyone. Any useful investigation must ration its time and effort. They managed to take testimony from some 552 people, and if Umbrella Man wasn’t among them, oh, well. That doesn’t make them sloppy, “quick,” or uninterested in alternate theories.
By the way, House Select Committee on Assassinations tracked him down, and it turned out he wasn’t relevant. Which is precisely the sort of thing I’m talking about when I say post-Warren Commission investigations never come up with anything solid. Of course, you could always say HSCA was wrong and he was important. We’ll never know! But at that rate, we’ll never know anything. Not that 2+2 = 4, let alone who killed Kennedy.
“Given the fog and mist, we’ll never know all the details. Just trying to piece together a simple car crash after an hour is difficult, going back that far and expecting people to have recorded or remembered relevant things is impossible”
This line of thinking is the harmful sort of skepticism. The Kennedy assassination is fogged for various reasons, but not because the investigation was faulty. I’m confident that if we viewed it the same way we do regular murders and various other historical events, there’d be no confusion. If we can’t know whether Oswald killed Kennedy alone, we also can’t know, for instance, who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Or whether such a thing as “WWII” ever happened or such a person as “Napoleon” ever existed.
At some point, you have to take things as they are. If all the evidence points one way, you can’t perpetually argue there’s evidence yet to be found, and all the current evidence is false, and everybody was lying. Or, rather, you can, but I can also say Abraham Lincoln never existed, and the man we know by that name was an imposter set up by the International Communist Conspiracy (ICC), and I’d have the evidence to prove it had not historians covered it up for the last 160 years. I’d be just as convincing.
“House Select Committee on Assassinations”
Was this the 1990’s re-look at Warren Comm report?
“Was this the 1990’s re-look at Warren Comm report?”
No, it was the House’s 1976-79 investigation, inspired by the Church Committee hearings and conspiracy theory books, into the murders of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the shooting of George Wallace. It concluded JFK was killed by Oswald as the result of a conspiracy. This was based on “acoustical evidence” which supposedly established the existence of a fourth shot, which suggested with “high probability” that there was a second shooter.
The “evidence” in question was from a recording allegedly made from the transmitter on a police motorcycle in Dealey Plaza. It has since been debunked.
I originally thought it was pronounced “chaos”, as in the series “Get Smart”.
But everyone is pronouncing it as “cause”.
Anyone know what it was intended to be, and why the name K-O-S?
