In some circumstances not asking questions is an important part of education.

The Education Forum needs to be renamed the Miss-education Forum.

Thomas Graves at the EF has today asked where another of my threads has gone.  This is the Ralph Leon Yates thread that I started last year that generated some interesting, important and heated debate concerning the alleged hitchhiker that Yates picked up a few days prior to the assassination.

It appears to have disappeared too.  Rather than jumping the gun and calling the administration team what I instinctively want to call them I will instead ask Tom Scully if this was one of the threads that he hid from view?  Tom, when he was a true believer in John Simkin when others had already begun to see what he really was, told me that when he saw I had begun the process of deleting some of my posts he decided to hide from view some of the threads that he felt needed to be rescued from what he called "forum vandalism."  Little did Tom know but his former hero Simkin would go on to become the real vandal by deleting thousands of posts from people he decided he didn't like any longer.  

I do know that my McWatters/Bledsoe Bus thread was hidden from view by Tom but the difference with that thread was that it still appeared in a google search but when you clicked the link from the google search results you were hit with a "Oops we couldn't find that" message generated directly from the Education Forum.  

The Ralph Yates thread does not show up in a google search so I doubt Tom hid this one from view and if that is the case it will be the 8th such thread started by me that I have recently been unable to locate.

Edit: I am convinced that this Yates thread has been hidden from view rather than deleted.

Better yet, from now on, we should refer to it as the Simkin dictatorship.

All I could find through the internet archives wayback machine is a list of thread participants.



The actual thread itself comes up with a message: "this account has been suspended"

It's back to square one on this apparently - Yates being the one who raised the issue of the motorcade and possible assassination etc etc... what a waste...

Didn't Reitzes ask about what happened to my posts?

Was he booted for that?

I think Dawn Meredith did also.

BTW, all my original posts are now gone from EF.  They only show up in threads where there is a dialogue going on.

From what I heard from Speer, Simkin was intent on keeping the thing shut down.  Lifton started complaining to him that he needed it for research purposes. That is why he reopened it.

That is really something.  Because, besides Sean Murphy's great thread, there is nothing there anymore to read since almost all the good contributors are gone.

As per Fetzer, I try and ignore him these days.  I lost  faith in him what he did that huge thread on Judy Baker. He was simply wrong and knew so little about New Orleans that it was simply stubbornness on his part. He then backed Judy Wood?

Thanks DWD for your comments on my Shenon review.  That is still the number one rated article at CTKA.  Its getting over a thousand views per day.

I guess it might be a good idea to consult a hostage negotiator. Maybe that will give us some clues how to deal with the mind of a hostage-taker before any others get killed?

You're welcome Jim. Just really pathetic where Fetzer's stooping to. Also, it's nice to know at least someone can get through to Simkin; I guess a lot of people owe Lifton a debt of gratitude, despite what Greg and Lee think of him

That is exactly what happened, Jim.  Reitzes asked whether it was standard practice on the EF to delete all of the posts of someone who has been banned.  Evan Burton, lying through his butt cheeks, said no.  It was his experience that this had never happened and is something they didn't want to do.  Burton asked Reitzes for specific examples and Reitzes responded with what had happened to you.

From that point it was all quiet on the western front for a while and no further replies from Burton were forthcoming.

Reitzes being Reitzes later came back and said that Martin Hay was claiming all of his posts had been deleted and whether any reply was going to be forthcoming.  This stayed on the "Forum Rules and Behaviour" thread for a while before the Reitzes questions completely disappeared along with all of his other posts and his membership.

He is claiming on another forum that he contacted Simkin directly about getting an answer to his questions.  It was then that his log in stopped working.  So to answer Reitzes question about whether it was policy to delete all of the posts of someone who is banned they decided to ban him and delete all of his posts.   

And to top it all off there is nothing on the site to explain that this has occurred.  The same way that it was never announced that it had happened to you or Martin.  As much as I find Reitzes beliefs and opinions intolerable this action against him just goes to show how that forum does not want anyone rocking the boat and if you do you will gone, along with all of your work.

Lee,  Graves has also posted this link recently in BK's RLY thread:

Appears to be what you started. Down below the "Visit Mexico" ad is your original, starting at "Main topic started 9 months ago" 

Also, congratulations: you're in 1st place

No authors unless we count Paul Trejo and Harry Dean!

Those exchanges between Trejo and Lazar just got embarrassing and should have taken place in private so as to preserve the sanity of anyone unfortunate enough to be exposed to them.  Watching paint dry would be a better use of time than reading through that never ending back and forth.

Many of my threads are now gone yet Paul Trejo's bullshit remains.  All of your stuff is gone but Hank Albarelli's pompous crud remains.  All of Martin's posts have gone, yet David Lifton's body snatching remains.

I really thought the work we provided would be there as a resource for a long, long time.  I was wrong.

That's the one, Dan.  It was much longer than 9 posts though, in fact it was quite meaty because on that thread I posted every single  document pertaining to Ralph Yates.  Every single one as a resource for others to use but it now unavailable and we have a different thread with Larry Hancock taking things back to the place that my thread started from.  It's like being stuck in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

I distinctly remember much of the thread because Bill Kelly severely pissed me off by trying to castigate me without even bothering to read the posts for which he apologised when pointed out to him.  I also remember having to deal with Albert "I know everything that happened" Doyle by proxy when he was posting some of the most blatant nonsense I've ever read over at DPF most of which was made up out of thin air in true Bertie Doyle style.  His posts read like a Raymond Chandler novel.

It looks like the thread is now lost but it was the most definitive thread concerning the story of Ralph Yates on any forum and it tried to look at all the evidence, and presented all of the evidence, for the very first time.

Ok, right, so only the discussions got preserved (somewhere) and the actual documentation went down the poophole. This is just the most ridiculous shitty nonsense; I originally checked in this early morning because I thought you were still a member at EF & so didn't understand why ANY of your threads would be deleted. The second half of this whole fucking year has been like the Twilight Zone; I'll be glad to start a new one.

I still am a member there, Dan, but officially on moderation.  I will not ever post another word on that forum unless it is the word "pricks" but I'm guessing it wouldn't get authorised.  Once I have all of my content copied and back in my possession I will request they remove my membership.  The only reason I escaped the cull was because I couldn't post what I wanted to post when the likes of Jim and Martin were booted.

My best guess about my own threads is that Tom Scully hid the missing ones from view because he thought I was going to delete them and then what happened was Tom himself got deleted without any sort of notice and without anybody knowing what he had done.  Therefore some of my threads are in some sort of limbo and inaccessible. 

There is a thread here that covers a lot of ground on Ralph Yates called "Rashomon to Judgment" but it mainly consists of exchanges between me, Greg, RCD and Richard.  The EF one had more to it because I was batting back complete horseshit from quite a few people and demonstrated that John Armstrong and Jim Douglass cherry picked the evidence for the sections of their books containing the Ralph Yates story.

I will resurrect the thread here and see if I can add all the relevant links and documents.

This is what you get when you click on the links from the Omgili site:

Simkin does not think of it that way.  He looks at it as HIS OWN PRIVATE PRESERVE.

Come to where the safety is.

I would personally appreciate that, Lee.

Your thread over at the EF was one of those I planned to read later on when I had the time to absorb it.

I second, that, Lee.  What I know of the Yates story comes from Douglass (and then Armstrong).

Albert Rossi wrote:I second, that, Lee.  What I know of the Yates story comes from Douglass (and then Armstrong).

That would be the same with most people, Albert.

The facts got swept aside to keep another 2nd Oswald sighting alive.

LOL. Thanks Stan.

Don't let Lee see this though... we were trying to rescue posts from the Ed Forum some time ago, and i accidentally wiped 'em all after they were reposted here  

I have the EF archives. Someone emailed them all to me in a zip file. I think it has every single post ever right up until this year. If anyone is interested please let me know and I can email it to you. I haven't opened it and have no idea how it works but grabbed it in case someone wanted it later.

That's terrific Frankie.

If I decide to write another book, will inquire.

I think a biography on JFK and his Presidency from you is what we need, Jim.

Precisely my thoughts.
