Casey Quinlan: Turns The Heat Up On the Conversation--JFK

Hats off to JFK Assassination researcher and author Casey Quinlan--expert at turning up the heat and firing up interest and attention on this often forgotten subject.

Well, he has to, he is a high school teacher and believe it or not the kids don't always want to listen.

He has to be an entertainer.


But isn't that the truth for all of us.............

Living in the 30 second take away world how are we still going to get the average citizen to listen the the most important murder mystery of the last century.

It is like stars in the sky--there is just too much minor information for the average individual to see--where do I focus.

Don't get me wrong.  The research is extremely important.  "It is science and the truth has to come out,"  that is what one JFK 2016 Lancer Conference attendee told me.  I was lucky enough to sit at his table.  "I am a scientist, that is what we deal in, the truth and it has to come out and that is research."

"You can't deny the truth."

The folks that were at the conference this year were impressive in their knowledge.


Seriously, for me, just a regular person that has been interested in the JFK assassination forever--I get mixed up in the details.  It has to be a little more straight forward.

Here is where Casey Quinlan comes in.  An Excellent speaker he makes everything interesting as he tells about the reasons and factions that set an environment and attitude for the demise of JFK.

Actually, he talked a language that I could understand.  Call him Oliver Stone but he made a story that I could remember.

So here's the thing for me........honoring the tremendous research and hard work put into the JFK murder mystery but at the end of the day the facts have to be sold to the American public.

Enter Roger Craig.........

His story is jaw dropping and compelling.....You can't get him out of your mind.

Take the example of Ed Hoffman--Casey Quinlan co-authored a book on this very important witness.

Is it important to humanize the story to get the message across.

It takes so many talented interested individuals to get this story out.

We can't forget it and thank you to Casey Quinlan to take time to educate the high school kids  and me about this horrible event--the assassination of our President.

There is almost nothing more important.

More than one person at the conference mentioned in chatting they hoped more young people would be there.  Everyone is dying and the story will be lost.

Point well taken.

Some of us may have a short attention span but we are still interested.

Thanks, Casey, for your hard work--I felt so lucky to get to talk to an actual JFK researcher.  Thank you for taking time to chat with me.


Go Shockers!

I Would Like To Publicly Thank Larry Hancock.....

I would like to publicly thank Larry Hancock for taking the time to respond to my comment on his website having to do with his post Whispers.....

Well, obviously not only is he a brilliant JFK Assassination researcher but he is also kind and gracious.  No wonder he is so well-respected in the field.  His post was so inspirational to me I really went off on what my kids would call my own rant.  I could not stop thinking in the night--I must make some sort of new comment and include an apology.

Well, instead, as everyone can see Larry went on not only to respond with important information about the upcoming JFK Assassination Conference put on by Lancer every November in Dallas,  but he took time to answer my comment in a way that was very in depth, interesting and informational.  

Wow, Larry....I really want to go on your tour this November in Dallas....thank you for your kindness and your good information.

I’m just hoping you do not connect my post to me as a participant on the tour.......

Respectfully,

chloe louise,

and here is my comment with some spelling corrections.......

Dear Larry–I love your work and I like to post it on my blog–The Ronnie Republic and I have been following you for a long time. I have two very important things to say…First and foremost…what do you suggest for the average JFK buff on attending Dallas in November. I previously read about a Dealy Plaza Tour on Sunday and I think it was by Lancer. What do you suggest one does to join in on the interesting things that will be taking place in Dallas this November. I would love to hear you speak. Looking forward to your suggestions…

Second, and this is only a comment….reading further on your post provided by the link. I really enjoyed reading this info by Mr. Bradford but it started reminding me of the time I read in Vanity Fair ages ago about the Chappaquiddick incident of Teddy Kennedy. Of course it was an accident, but instead of just going to the police and going on with it, the Kennedys did everything they could do to make the thing proper in light of their public office and the whole thing turned into a big mess. Instead of fixing it up as they set out to do it just became more complicated and grounds for ridicule. This is the problem I have with Bobby Kennedy.

Now I feel like there are about 4 major problems with info on the JFK incident. First, I think it was all on a need to know basis, and involved seedy individuals which would include mob and CIA. Those people are never going to talk and even within those groups there are probably many who suspect most of the facts but there is not and never will be any certainty. The problem with that is, and I hate to say it, but if there is never a solid 30 second take away for the American public of who actually pulled the trigger and why, the whole thing is never going to fly….especially now because I think that most people cannot take time to be bothered to understand this highly complicated story.

Once I read and saw the movie, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, I realized there are way too many Roddy Martindales out there. The info is like stocks and stars in the sky. It is right there but we are never going to be able to see it clearly because there is so much counter information or obfuscation to go along with it. Thirdly–think about it–with members of the Kennedy family living and active in political society–what is the government going to say–oh, we accidentally killed your family member or allowed it to happen. I just don’t think the people in charge are going to let those facts come to light in a clear fashion that everyone can understand. The last thing–once we start finding out all of this information there is always plenty of real unflattering info about the Kennedys themselves, everything from Mary Meyer, many other women, the health of John Kennedy, the arrogance of the family, particularly the dad and Jack and Bobby. Really, I want to know the answer–I saw Oswald shot trying to watch cartoons that morning 50 years ago–but I think the whole thing is just too much. When I start hearing some of these facts that are so seedy--its like I just can’t take anymore and have to move on to another subject.

Well, what do you think? Seriously, your book and your ability as a speaker is one of the best approaches because there is a certain subtlety to it that can be more tolerated and believed and accepted. And that’s the other thing–once all the arguing starts among the researchers the listeners shut their ears, their eyes glaze over and everything is lost. I hate to say all of this because I have been following it forever–my family teases me–but I am beginning to have my doubts. And I don’t intend any of this in a mean way–I actually mean it all as a compliment by an interested observer who has been following this info forever. I really think The Men Who Killed Kennedy is one of the best things out there because its understandable and it tells a somewhat reasonable story.

Thank you for your time and letting me speak–I really appreciate it and I appreciate your work. I appreciate the work of all the researchers. cl
