The following presentations were presented at the invitation of the Portland 9/11 Truth Alliance and 9/11 Truth Seattle. My hosts, Tim Titrud and Ben Collet, were as gracious and accommodating as they could be. The presentations were well-advertised (www.911truthseattle.org), there were early radio and television interviews, and I had a wonderful time and throughly enjoyed my visits. The audiences were very well-informed and asked excellent questions. All in all, it was a splendid long weekend. What I am providing here may be viewed as updating and refining the positions I…
American Assassination: What happened to Sen. Paul Wellstone? Part III
The publication of American Assassination (2004) did not signal an end to research on the strange death of United States Sen. Paul Wellstone. Even though a section of the book was devoted to a discussion of the history of the development of directed energy weaponry of various kinds, critics of the theory that his plane had been taken down using a DEW to take out the computerized components of the King Air A-100, including its navigational and communications systems and disabling its loud “stall warning” alarm, where the surge of…

American Assassination: What happened to Sen. Paul Wellstone? Part I
The death of US Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota on 25 October 2002, just ten days before an election that would have returned him to the Senate for a third term, made an important difference to the course of events in relation to the invasion of Iraq and the “war on terror”, which he had opposed even in spite of a threat delivered to him by then-Vice President Dick Cheney, who told him that, if he opposed the administration on Iraq, there would be “severe ramifications” for him personally and…
“Hany Farid’s Pixelated Illusions” by Copernicus
In this nice blog, “Brane Space”, a scientist with a broad background across multiple disciplines who goes by the user name “Copernicus” offers a critique of the attempt by computer scientist Hany Farid to vouch for the backyard photographs of Lee Oswald, one of which was used to convict him in the mind of the public by its publication on the cover of LIFE magazine. As Jim Marrs and I have explained in our previous blog about this matter, Farid focused on one of a multiplicity of indications of fakery.…

Dealey Plaza Revisited
Dealey Plaza Revisited: What Happened to JFK?James Fetzer The application of principles of scientific reasoning to the assassination of JFK can contribute to resolving any lingering questions over whether or not he was murdered as the result of a conspiracy. The likelihood L of an hypothesis h, if evidence e were true, is equal to the probability of e, if h were true. The hypotheses are viewed as possible causes of the evidence as effects. This assumes that evidence e includes all of the available relevant data, which may include…
Reasoning about Assassinations
Everyone has heard of the “magic bullet”, which is the lynch-pin of the official account of the assassination of JFK presented by the Warren Commission. As Michael Baden, M.D., who chaired the medical panel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations when it reinvestigated the case in 1977-78 remarked on the 40th observance of his death, if the “magic bullet” theory is false, then there had to have been at least six shots from at least three directions. In this article, which was based on a presentation at Cambridge and…
