Alex Beam thinks he's funny. He's not. He's just a dick. He dares to insult everyone in the JFK research community, all of them, everyone who did anything in the last 50 plus years with an IMAGINED internet conversation. What a schmuck.
JFK assassination, Reddit Style.
SPEAKING AT a recent conference on the Warren Commission report, author Jefferson Morley “said he believed the Internet would usher in a new era of Kennedy assassination research,” the Globe reported last month.

“Research”? Really?
Here is an imagined chat-room colloquy among JFK
assassination buffs. I’ve flagged actual conspiracy theories culled from the
Internet with a double asterisk (**).
JFKTruther109: You saw that
Reddit.com eliminated the Three Tramps sub-thread?
GrassyNoel1963: You mean the so-called “hobos” that
the police arrested the day Kennedy was shot? Everyone knew they were CIA
agents.** Vagrants my eye!
JFKTruther109: You know one of them
was the Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt,** right?
GrassyNoel1963: Nah, that guy turned
out to be Woody Harrelson’s father.**
SixteenYearOldVirgin:
Woody Harrelson the actor?
JFKTruther109: No, Woody Harrelson
the rare book collector. Skiddoo, newbie.
ImActuallyWoodyHarrelson: My
Dad had his issues, but he didn’t kill President Kennedy!
GrassyNoel1963: Your Mom’s maiden
name was Oswald.
ImActuallyWoodyHarrelson: What
of it?
GrassyNoel1963: Just saying . . .
DaFunkyDebunker: I
don’t think that’s the real Woody Harrelson.
GrassyNoel1963: He’s gone now.
DaFunkyDebunker: I
think his Dad knew the Monkey Virus Lady** . . .
JFKTruther109: You mean Dr. Mary Sherman, the woman who was cooking
up exotic cancers for the the CIA?**
DaFunkyDebunker:
Right. Who was mysteriously-conveniently murdered in 1964.
GrassyNoel1963: But they wanted to
use the SV-40 virus to assassinate Castro, not JFK.**
DaFunkyDebunker: Just
saying . . .
GrassyNoel1963: ‘60 Minutes’ was
going to do a show on her.**
JFKTruther109: They killed it.
DaFunkyDebunker: Who
‘they’?
JFKTruther109: The Rockefellers,
duh. Because of Executive Order 11110. Kennedy’s
plan to eliminate silver certificates and put the central banks out
of business.** He had to go.
JFKTruther109: Were they the ones
who hired the fake Secret Service agents who showed up
on Dealey Plaza**? Or was that CIA director Allen Dulles?
DaFunkyDebunker:
Dulles had his own army of ex-Nazis.** No one knows if he
deployed them to Dallas or not.
GrassyNoel1963: What about Loy Factor, the brain-damaged Chickasaw
Indian who was on the sixth floor of the Book Depository with Oswald?** Was he
a Nazi?
JFKTruther109: He was just a pawn in
the game . . .
but he’s the guy who made off with the missing
Carcano rifle clip. Took it home with him the afternoon of the
assassination.** He and the other killer, Mac Wallace, were working for Billie
Sol Estes.** Who was working for his boss Lyndon Johnson, of course.**
DaFunkyDebunker: Who
was a Freemason.** Just saying . . .
GrassyNoel1963: Was it Estes who
hired the Umbrella Man?
JFKTruther109: Nah, he just showed
up on his own accord, with the shooting dart-flechette weapon built into his
“umbrella.”** On a perfectly sunny day. Just saying . . .
DaFunkyDebunker: He
talked his way out of it. They always do.
Area51Experiencer: You
know about the Nov. 12 memo, right?
JFKTruther109: Where Kennedy asks
the CIA about UFOs?** Everyone knows about that. “[Kennedy] has made some
inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow.”** It must be true —
the Daily Mail reported it.
Area51Experiencer: You
can believe what you read in a newspaper.
GrassyNoel1963: Except that it’s a
British newspaper.
DaFunkyDebunker: A
newspaper called The Independent mentioned the theory that “Joe DiMaggio was behind the killing.”**
GrassyNoel1963: That’s a British
newspaper, too. Just saying . . .
JFKTruther109: Newspapers are so
unreliable, they never print the truth.
GrassyNoel1963: Unlike the internets.
JFKTruther109: Amen to that,
brother. The truth is out there.
