You're just wasting yr. AND MY time with irrelevant remarks...
Another important point making totally irrelevant remarks by those who are pointing out the “forgetfulness” of Baker, with respect to that brief visit (no more than 20-30 minutes!) to Kersey village, once he was asked to remember that event, AFTER MORE THAN 30 YEARS, is that it is a very common fact of experience that many people tend to forget things that were not so important for them, JUST AFTER A FEW WEEKS!
Many persons are unable to remember a specific day, and even to provide an ALIBI for that day, when asked by police after a few weeks, or months.
Several years ago we organized a dinner and reunion with “old” (we were all 34 y.o.) school mates of high-school, 15 years after our first meeting.
Some of us mentioned events that some of us were remembering quite well, others did not at all. I was amazed that one of us did not remember at all a professor, although he saw her for 9 months (not for 20-30 minutes!), during the 3rd year.
So, how can someone be surprised that Baker did not keep a good memory of a fleeting visit, MORE THAN 30 YEARS BEFORE, to a countryside village that – contrary to Laing and Crowley – was not so important for him, as a Londoner citizen who was not interested in countryside villages?
But let me tell you another thing…
Here, in the “Kersey village case”, we have 2 WITNESSES who recalled quite well what they saw, and a third person who did not belie their statements.
2 witnesses remembering things that nobody could see (butcher’s shop, forest trees beside stream, etc.) in October 1957 in Kersey village, seem enough to corroborate the paranormal nature of that event.
I personally tend to be suspicious of versions as released by just one person (it could be a false memory, a hallucination, etc.) but here we have 2 WITNESSES , whose versions are totally similar.
So, this petty “excuse” regarding the “forgetfulness” of Baker makes no sense.
The point is that when someone is BIASED, you may find 2,000 witnesses, he/she will find petty excuses to stubbornly deny!
Let me tell you, for instance, about one of the most famous event of history, the
JFK ASSASSINATION.
It was not a “paranormal” event, and it was testified by DOZENS of witnesses, and it was also recorded by photos and movies. In my paper
https://www.academia.edu/32346233/Six_Compelling_and_Irrefutable_Reasons_Proving_that_President_Kennedy_was_Killed_by_a_Well-Organized_
I showed that
47 witnesses heard or saw shots whose origin was the Grassy Knoll area. Here are their names:
1.Victoria Adams 2.Danny Garcia Arce 3.Virgie Baker (née Rackley) 4.Jane Berry 5.Charles Brehm 6.Ochus Campbell 7.Faye Chism 8.John Chism 9.Harold Elkins 10.Ronald Fischer 11.Buell Wesley Frazier 12.Dorothy Garner 13.Jean Hill 14.S. M. Holland 15.Ed Johnson 16.Dolores Kounas 17.Paul Landis 18.Billy Lovelady 19.Austin Miller 20.A.J. Millican 21.Luke Mooney 22.Thomas Murphy 23.Jean Newman 24.William Newman 25.Kenneth O’Donnell 26. David Powers 27.Roberta Parker 28.Frank Reilly 29.Arnold Rowland 30.Edgar Smith 31.Joe Marshall Smith 32.Forrest Sorrels 33.James Tague 34.Roy Truly 35.Harry Weatherford 36.Seymour Weitzman 37.Otis Williams 38.Mary Woodward 39.Abraham Zapruder 40. Emmett Hudson 41.E.V. Brown 42. James Crawford 43. Avery Davis 44. Joe Molina 45. Jesse Price 46. Steven Wilson 47. Orville Nix
Now, statistical odds that 47 witnesses could ALL mistake the origin of shots between 2 distant locations (Texas School Book Depository was almost 100 mt. distant from Grassy Knoll area) is just 1 in 2^47 = 1 in 140 trillion! = INFINITESIMAL
Every day any of us is driving his/her car, although odds to die in a car accident in a lifetime are 1 in 90-100, a number that is enormously LARGER than 1 in 140 trillion.
But – quite incoherently – many persons believe that chances to die in a car accident are small, and yet they believe that chances JFK was killed by just a sniper are VERY GREAT!
In addition, more than 3 centuries ago ISAAC NEWTON discovered the UNIVERSAL 2ND LAW OF DYNAMICS = change of momentum on a body is directly proportional to the force applied, and this change in momentum takes place IN THE DIRECTION of the applied force.
Now, in Kennedy’s assassination, Zapruder’s film proved that Kennedy’s head moved violently backward to the LEFT, after the mortal shot, in total agreement with universal 2nd law of dynamics, as a consequence of a shot clearly coming from the grassy knoll/picket fence area!
And yet, we have people who are denying UNIVERSAL physical laws, movies and statements by 47 witnesses, purporting to support the FALSE THEORY OF THE LONELY ASSASSINATION!
So, this argument regarding reliability of witnesses makes no sense. When someone is biased, you may find 20, 40, 1000 witnesses, movies, photos, 300 public notaries, etc. , but
NO PROOF CAN PERSUADE A BIASED PERSON!
INT21 + eburacum, you are simply biased, your comments make no sense!
