What are the odds?

That Von Pein could write a review that was relative to the book being reviewed? His "reviews" are just propaganda. Very long propaganda. One really begins to wonder what Von Pein's agenda really is. The history books have been written. The official story holds. Whats with this man's relentless effort to further indoctrinate us with his mile long "reviews". He reviews paintings. He reviews this book and is not on topic. What is going on?

The JFK Assassination --- What Are The Odds...?

What are the odds..... Of President John F. Kennedy's assassination actually having been a conspiracy and yet ALSO having virtually every piece of physical evidence in the whole case come back to the feet of the one man (Lee Harvey Oswald) who happened to own the rifle up on the 6th Floor of the Book Depository (and who was seen firing a shot at JFK's car)? And: What are the odds..... Of J.D. Tippit's murder actually having been committed by somebody other than Lee Oswald and yet having every scrap of evidence come back to implicate Oswald for that murder too? (Including gobs of witnesses who fingered the so-called "Patsy"; plus the fact that the murder weapon was in the possession of the "Patsy" when he was captured; plus the mere fact that Oswald was in the exact same general area of the murder when picked up.) Odds that he was actually an uninvolved "Patsy" given these parameters? Must be pretty low indeed (even when using the usually-skewed statistics stated by conspiracy theorists). And: What are the odds..... Of there actually having been somewhere between 5 and 10 audible gunshots (depending upon which theory you wish to use) fired in Dealey Plaza and yet having 100% (or very nearly 100%) of the news-gathering people who were in a direct, and IMMEDIATE, position to report the shooting to the world (via newswire, TV, etc.) hear exactly the number of gunshots that match the number of bullet shells found in the Depository, and the EXACT number of shots that the plotters need to have heard to hang their "Patsy"? Anybody got an "Odds" calculator to gauge the above things? ---------------------------- Another "odds" oddity..... If there's NOT a "Single-Bullet Theory", then how on Earth did a SEPARATE gunshot to wounded Governor John B. Connally's back end up striking him in pretty much the same location where such a wound would be located if the SBT was, in fact, the correct shooting scenario? Odds of the above occurring without the SBT in place? Can anyone hazard a guess? ---------------------------- What are these odds?..... If the SBT is indeed incorrect, then we are forced to believe that not just ONE, but TWO, rifle bullets failed to penetrate all the way through the lower neck and upper back of JFK. Logical? I say no, it is not. If you wish to argue that perhaps one of the shots was a "dum-dum" of some type, or that one shot was a misfire and therefore the velocity entering Kennedy was severely reduced -- okay. But TWO such shots of this kind that do not transit the soft flesh of JFK in the throat AND upper back regions? Odds please? ---------------------------- What are the odds..... Of ALL THREE bullets that most CTers need to replace the SBT getting lost? Or that ALL of these unwanted bullets could be disposed of by evil plotters in short order? In either instance, all of the bullets that peppered Kennedy and Connally (per the conspiracists who advocate such bullet-vanishing nonsense) were n
