Here is the problem with the 911 conspiracy theory's...... [View all] Logical Dec 2011 OP

I don't have an answer to your question, but one has to look at the evidence teddy51 Dec 2011 #1

The cracking of the Enigma Code was not leaked until the 1970s after it was offiically announced. JDPriestly Dec 2011 #2

And that allso goes for the capture of a German sub with the enignama machien zeemike Dec 2011 #28

If you were asked to participate in either operation, what would you do? cpwm17 Dec 2011 #29

Well that is a fair question and a fair point. zeemike Dec 2011 #30

There's no way that there's the expertise to pull it off cpwm17 Dec 2011 #31

Well then how does the mob and other organized crime do it? zeemike Dec 2011 #32

Since mob informers are the key to most police investigations hack89 Feb 2012 #39

But that is because their are police and law enforcement. zeemike Feb 2012 #40

You are naive if you believe that. zeemike Feb 2012 #41

you would have to be a sociopath BobbyBoring Feb 2012 #37

Well I would know only what I needed to know to do my part of the plan zeemike Feb 2012 #46

You've been watching too many movies Confusious Feb 2012 #43

And you perhaps not enough history. zeemike Feb 2012 #45

Nope, not me Confusious Feb 2012 #47

Well I never saw it in the movies zeemike Feb 2012 #49

do I detect some contempt from you about people that you consider CTers? Confusious Feb 2012 #50

Do you know what disinformation is? zeemike Feb 2012 #53

So you're spreading disinformation? Confusious Feb 2012 #55

Well it is astounding to me that people can buy that . zeemike Feb 2012 #56

"that is just basic science" William Seger Feb 2012 #57

The first frame is before the impact.of the head shot. zeemike Feb 2012 #59

Nope William Seger Feb 2012 #61

No that is the frame where the bullet struck zeemike Feb 2012 #64

Utter nonsense William Seger Feb 2012 #68

Well look this is not nonsense zeemike Feb 2012 #69

If the Zapruder film is REALLY what made you believe that Oswald didn't shoot JFK, William Seger Feb 2012 #71

You mean to tell me zeemike Feb 2012 #72

in what sense do you "see" that? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #73

Because if the bullet did not strike in 312 zeemike Feb 2012 #74

didn't you just say yourself... OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #75

Well let me try again to explain. zeemike Feb 2012 #76

OK, let's think about this OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #77

Some good points zeemike Feb 2012 #78

meh OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #79

Well how about we just declare you the winner zeemike Feb 2012 #80

This is NOT a "small point" William Seger Feb 2012 #81

Now this is how you control the discussion... zeemike Feb 2012 #84

yo, if you're so free from fear, get the heck out of fetal position OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #82

We are discussing it on your terms. zeemike Feb 2012 #83

jeepers OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #85

Again we are back to math. zeemike Feb 2012 #86

so you don't think the head changes position from 312 to 313? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #87

Well let me try to be clear. zeemike Feb 2012 #89

well, no OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #91

Really? zeemike Feb 2012 #95

"And you cannot explain that backward movement with any thing that makes sense" William Seger Feb 2012 #97

Well you can't prove a negative zeemike Feb 2012 #100

Another myth. Actually, it IS sometimes possible to prove a negative William Seger Feb 2012 #105

This is getting kinda bizarre William Seger Feb 2012 #93

OK...so the ejected material is several feet away zeemike Feb 2012 #96

In other words, you've got nothing William Seger Feb 2012 #98

Now with the ridicule. zeemike Feb 2012 #101

Your theory is all assumption and no fact. zappaman Feb 2012 #102

The facts presented is what we see in the film. zeemike Feb 2012 #107

Here's what's ridiculous about it, by the way William Seger Feb 2012 #108

No that is not what I said. zeemike Feb 2012 #109

"The shutter on frame 313 was open for 1/30 of a second" zappaman Feb 2012 #110

Frames per second is different from shutter speed. zeemike Feb 2012 #115

The camera's manual says a nominal 16 fps and 1/35th sec exposure William Seger Feb 2012 #119

Well thanks for looking that up zeemike Feb 2012 #120

WTF? William Seger Feb 2012 #112

No sir the shutter speed is all that is relevant. zeemike Feb 2012 #116

I seriously doubt that a timeline is going to unconfuse you, but let's try: William Seger Feb 2012 #118

I get what you are claiming. zeemike Feb 2012 #121

So you have no explanation for the forward head snap William Seger Feb 2012 #122

Can't let it end when you say inertia is imaginary physics zeemike Feb 2012 #123

No, it's your claimed "DELAY due to inertia" that's imaginary William Seger Feb 2012 #124

Well I can't compete with that zeemike Feb 2012 #125

Hopeless William Seger Feb 2012 #126

You are right it is hopeless zeemike Feb 2012 #127

This may be the most ridiculous thing I've read about the JFK assassination in some time. zappaman Feb 2012 #99

"this is like a case study in how debunking CTs work" William Seger Feb 2012 #106

it's kind of hilarious-- if a "conspiracy theorist" had presented this as proof he'd be laughed at. NoMoreWarNow Apr 2012 #137

It's motion blur caused by camera motion William Seger Apr 2012 #139

that may be, but your data is still inconclusive NoMoreWarNow Apr 2012 #141

Neither William Seger Apr 2012 #142

Frame 313 is not an instant, it is a duration. And during that duration the head may have travelled eomer Feb 2012 #88

OK, where does that get us? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #90

Back to square one. eomer Feb 2012 #92

See gif in post #93. There was no forward motion before frame 312 William Seger Feb 2012 #94

"square one" was trash talk about "the power of fear" OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #104

Well, you've just proved my point Confusious Feb 2012 #58

I want to listen and have been listening. zeemike Feb 2012 #60

I've seen IN PLANE SITE zappaman Feb 2012 #62

Well a 757 is consistent with what I saw zeemike Feb 2012 #66

Really Confusious Feb 2012 #63

You present questions that are easy to answer zeemike Feb 2012 #65

Well if you make up stuff Confusious Feb 2012 #67

Well I don't have all the answers...and no one could zeemike Feb 2012 #70
