Agent Laverick hits a Bullseye

First topic message reminder :

Agent Laverick wrote:Where do I start? So you agree that Armstrong didn't leave much to be discovered. Interesting. And convenient. But tell me, how does a person who admits he has only "scratched the surface" of Armstrong's work KNOW that he hasn't left much to be discovered? Blind faith? The realisation that since Armstrong you have all found a big fat zero to add to it? Do you know FOR DEFINITE that there isn't an old photo kicking about showing 'Lee's' tooth missing? Not just the one, but others too? Find it/them and we're going to look pretty stupid aren't we? But none of you have even bothered looking. If I'm wrong however, please reveal the results of such a search.
This isn't so much aimed at you Sandy, I respect what you say about being an amateur researcher and it's not you personally I'm firing these questions at. But you are defending this theory and I'm asking you what others may have done to further corroborate H&L. I'm presuming that someone who shows as much interest in this topic as you would want to know if further research has added meat from where Armstrong left it. You would be interested in such developments, right?
For example, it would be brilliant for H&L if an school friend of 'Lee' came across this forum and contacted Jim with anything he knew about him wouldn't it? He may even have a photo of 'Lee' and if he too confirmed the missing tooth, your story would gain traction, it would gain credibility, and it would increase your confidence to go and look for more corroborative evidence.

Hadn't thought about this before but Bernie is bang on. 

The education forum is often sent messages or has people joining because they are related to, or knew someone who has been subject of recent scrutiny and they either want to correct misunderstandings, or add whatever else they can.

The same happens here to a lesser extent, as regulars would know.

So why has this not happened for the H & L Cult? Jim has been publishing this stuff since at least 1999 - well before the ed forum or this one existed.

As for why none of them have taken up the challenge of extending on Armstrong's work, I would suggest to Agent Laverick that it comes down to none of them having the time or finances to go on witness recruitment drives, and none having the imagination or resources to go through the JFK holdings looking for even more anomalies into which they can insert one of the two doppelgangers. It is the same methodology used by JVB to insert herself.

Funny, when I was in discussion with the late Jack White, he attempted to contact Armstrong for comment or clarification on points being raised. The reply? I was told very quickly that Armstrong had retired from all of this and could not be bothered wasting his time on internet chat forum squabbles and that all of my questions were answered in The Book. 

I think he took it back up when I was booted from the ed forum.

Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

Sandy discussing the photo of Oswald taken in police custody after the  altercation in the Texas Theater:

"Look at the flesh between the eye and the eyebrow. The guy on our right has noticeably more flesh. It's like he got hit in the eye and it is swollen in that area."

True enough I guess.

WTF....????

I'm glad you pointed that out, Jake. When I read it last night I assumed I was still drunk. 

Sandy seems to be losing it. I once fostered (qualified) high hopes for him. No longer. He needs to ditch these H & L bozos and return to what he does best. That is, shoehorning himself into other people's research, disagreeing with their basic premises, creating absurdly reductive narrative flights of fancy, and renaming the theory after himself.

Well said Sharon. It's emblematic of the whole H&L thing. Misinterpret the data to whatever ends needed for cobbling together some rickety old vehicle for carrying around the absurd H&L narrative. It has never gone very far on its own but there's Sandy at the wheel smiling away like he owns the blame thing. With Sandy, Jim, and Josephs on board it's a veritable clown car going 'round and 'round in circles. That is, until it pops another gasket.
