2016 was one hell of a year in my opinion. What follows are what I think some of the highlights and lowlights of the year were as far as JFK assassination research is concerned. I will begin with the highlights. I think one of the biggest highlights was Bart Kamp’s mammoth essay thoroughly debunking the so-called lunchroom encounter between Oswald, TSBD superintendent Roy Truly, and Dallas Policeman Marrion Baker (see here). I think this was an excellent follow-up to Kamp’s movie on “Prayer Man” which was released for public viewing in late 2015 (click here to view it if you haven’t already). Kamp’s efforts earned him a New Frontier award which I think was very well deserved. Aside from Kamp’s research, we have also had some excellent research from the likes of Ed LeDoux and fellow ROKC forum members. One example of this excellent research was showing from shadow analysis that the infamous “backyard photos” of Oswald are in fact fakes as many of us have long believed (see here).
On a personal note, I managed to publish two more essays where
I discuss who I think was likely involved in the assassination (see here and here). Despite my initial lack of confidence, I also managed to do
an interview for the ROKC podcast with my fellow ROKC forum member and good friend,
Paul Francisco Paso, where we discuss some of my research and the low life
dickheads who trash the “Prayer Man” research (this can be listened to here). This now brings me to the
lowlights of the year. Those of you who closely follow the ROKC forum will be
aware that we have had to deal with many individuals of ill repute; such as the
utterly deplorable Brian Doyle. Doyle has been trolling the book reviews of
Stan Dane’s excellent book on “Prayer Man” at Amazon. However, he continues to
be adeptly dealt with and utterly humiliated for his disgusting behaviour.
Other so-called researchers of ill repute we have had to deal
with include Richard Gilbride, Will Whitten, Leslie Sharp, Tom Scully, Bill
Miller and others. The one thing all of them have in common is bitter animosity
towards the “Prayer Man” evidence. I strongly believe this is because they are
very condescending individuals who are jealous of this ground-breaking
research. On the bright side, they have all copped a good verbal thumping for
their pathetic attempts to trash this research. Another lowlight was the
temporary “freezing” of the former Webs ROKC forum. We strongly suspect that
the “person” behind this was the infamous Duncan MacRae who runs the utterly
deplorable “JFK assassination forum.” On the bright side however, we returned
to the ROKC forumotion site which we probably should never have left in the
first place.
Leaving the year 2016 behind and moving into the year 2017,
many researchers and students of the assassination are eagerly awaiting the
release of the remaining classified documents. However, I for one am greatly
looking forward to reading volume three of Greg Parker’s book when it is
published. Although we don’t always see eye to eye, I sincerely believe Parker
is the greatest researcher out there. Aside from the excellent quality of his
research, nobody’s research has had as much influence on my own research than
his has. The first two volumes of his book alone contain much never before seen
research which every serious researcher and student of the assassination should
familiarise themselves with. As for my own efforts, although I will continue to
research the assassination at least until volume three of Parker’s book is
published, I will be focusing more on my health and wellbeing; which I am
ashamed to admit I haven’t given the attention I should have for the past
couple of years.
