According to the story, Weisberg showed the owner over 100 photos of individuals other than Lee Harvey Oswald (apparently he had discovered that Oswald wasn't the person who picked them up.

In all this book is a strange journey into a past that is sometimes disconcerting, sometimes amusing, and at other times infuriating. All of this I took to be a sign of his interest in the subject, and not as a sign of any active commitment to the Communist ends. So when someone refers to Big Brother or—as in the case of Oswald—as comrades, it was a common sense of humor and not the voice of a deranged communist or some type of subversive…. Among other pastimes, Kerry was a devotee of the ever-irreverent Mad magazine and owned every Mad comic book, which didn’t make him a whole lot different from many other kids who had tuned into the wacky world of William Gaines. A poll appeared in the evening paper indicating that most Americans now thought the assassination was the result of a conspiracy.Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. The godfather of modern conspiracy theories, Jim Garrison, comes to believe that Thornley isn’t who he says he is; that really he helped kill President Kennedy, and was using Operation Mindfuck to hide that truth. Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. S. Marine Corps for about two years, Thornley had been summoned to active duty in 1958 at age 20, soon after completing his freshman year at the University of Southern California. In his book On the Trail of the Assassins (1988) Garrison insists that Thornley was friends with another possible conspirator, Johnny Roselli.

In the spring of 1959, Kerry—a Marine Corps Reservist—decided to fulfill his two-year active duty and enlisted. Can his mental condition be blamed on an oppressive father (a convenient scapegoat in this generation)?I am “familiar with the works of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, to some extent. During the late 1950s, Thornley became friends with Lee Harvey Oswald when the two served together in the Marines, and was actually writing a novel based on Oswald three years before John F. No matter what your opinion is of the JFK assassination, or even Thornley’s role in it, it is safe to assert that the madness and paranoia that plagued him in his later life was sparked in no small part by those who were either involved in the assassination or used the assassination to push their personal agenda.

Kerry freely ranged about in the JFK/MLK/RFK assassination matrixes like a conspiratorial version of Diogenes, the ancient Greek who loved to mock the philosophers and statesmen of his day. The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently. Adam Gorightly: I don't know for sure, but I suspect that Kerry's ex-wife, Cara, took care of Kerry's papers during the years he was homeless.

Kerry remembered Oswald as a sad sack type with eternally scuffed boots and cap pushed down over his eyes, which he speculated was Oswald’s way of shutting out the Marine world around him, a world that deeply dissatisfied him. Kerry pledged for Delta Sigma Phi, and—as is expected of all pledges—went through the hazing ritual known as hell week.

When you begin to get a whiff of a few of the pranks played by the Discordian society, you start to wonder if they may have been behind other pranks. The Principia describes the Discordian Society and its Goddess Eris, as well as the basics of the POEE denomination of Discordianism.Thornley was highly active in the countercultural publishing scene, writing for a number of underground magazines and newspapers, and self-publishing many one-page (or broadsheet) newsletters of his own. In 2015 Gorightly stated that he now believed that the copy in the JFK collection was an earlier draft of the Principia Discordia predating the first edition. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc. Some said that Kerry was a 'double' for Oswald, but it was hard to see a resemblance in the photos of Kerry in the book. He’d openly flirt with waitresses in family restaurants in a way that would make Chevy Chase look like James Bond.
