Jacobi Hospital

Why are so many of the adherents of Harvey & Lee are impervious to facts?

The new website for "Harvey and Lee" is a case in point. The "Harvey and Lee" inner circle is well aware by now that the Jacobi Hospital did not exist at the time Oswald was in New York. They know because I've been telling them for several years and pointing them to the proof of this.

Yet this is what is found on the new Harvey and Lee site:

LEE Oswald attended PS 44 for the remainder of 1953, without incident. But where was HARVEY Oswald, and what was he doing in the summer and fall of 1953? Louise Robertson was a housekeeper, employed by the Marguerite Oswald impostor for 6 weeks in the summer of 1953 to clean her apartment 2 or 3 days per week. Mrs. "Oswald" told Louise that she had brought her son to New York so that he could have mental tests performed at the Jacobi Hospital. Could young HARVEY Oswald, instead of truanting, have been spending some of his days at the Jacobi Hospital?Mrs. Robertson remembered that she was working at their apartment shortly before Mrs. Oswald left New York City, in the summer of 1953, but she did not know where they had gone.

The answer - short of this dog's breakfast of a theory now including a time machine - is an unequivocal "no". 

In 1955, the NYC Department of Hospitals opened a new, specialized care facility and teaching hospital situated on a lovely, campus-like setting in the northeast Bronx. Called the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, it included an 898-bed facility for acute care (Jacobi Hospital) and an adjacent 500-bed hospital for chronic tuberculosis care (Van Etten Hospital).

I suppose it's simply because they aren't interested in any facts which contradict this non-sensical theory, Greg. Nice job, btw.

For a large number of people, ideology trumps everything. Any facts that threaten their system of ideas and beliefs are ignored. They cannot adapt well to changes, if at all.

What part of the brain does "willful blindness" originate from?

No idea, Stan. But I think it's worth looking into.

For Jimbo -- who said this at the ed forum:

Louise Robertson, a housekeeper employed by “Mrs. Oswald” in the summer of 1953, said “Mrs. Oswald” told her that she brought her son to New York so he could have mental tests at Jacobi Hospital.  She must have gotten the name of the hospital wrong, Jacobi apparently opened several years later, but this certainly could have described the opportunity for the procedure to have been done.

Yes, she must have been wrong! I know because I did the freakin work Armstrong didn't do and got the shovel out and dug up Jacobi history. No "apparently" about it.This is just another thing either myself or Tracy has forced you guys to abandon or alter.
