James H. Fetzer Wrote:Something about these exchanges is bothering me, Charles. Which is that none of them displays any real knowledge or familiarity with LBJ: MASTERMIND OF JFK'S ASSASSINATION. You love to talk about the word, where I have noticed that you employ two rhetorical tactics. One is that you exaggerate what it would take for LBJ to have been "the mastermind". The other is that you minimize the powers and opportunities that were available to Lyndon Baines Johnson. I cannot accept either maneuver as sincere until I am at least reassured on these basic questions: When did you obtain the book and when did you read it? Be so kind as to tell me.
Not a chance, Jim. Not a chance in hell. I'd sooner reply to "Colby" and Burton and Bronstein.
Your "reassurance" is of no concern to me whatsoever. Clearly you do not take me at my word. You are implicitly calling me a liar.
And in the post directly above, you have the unmitigated gall to take umbrage at the "fact" that I've disparaged you!
I'm sure the unholy alliance of "Colby" and Burton and Bronstein are wetting themselves over this one. Can't you just see their EF posts tomorrow: "Even Fetzer knows Drago is a liar!"
Congratulations, Jim. You're making our enemy very, very happy.
I'm going to try to find a way to salvage our friendship -- one that somehow can get me around the inescapable reality of your inference.
Until then, you get Nelson and Morrow.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
