39. Since mob informers are the key to most police investigations
Sat Feb 4, 2012, 10:19 AM
Feb 2012

as seen by the large number of mob leaders in prison, I would argue that the mob does a very poor job of weeding out people willing to inform on them.

I don't have an answer to your question, but one has to look at the evidence teddy51 Dec 2011 #1
The cracking of the Enigma Code was not leaked until the 1970s after it was offiically announced. JDPriestly Dec 2011 #2
And that allso goes for the capture of a German sub with the enignama machien zeemike Dec 2011 #28
If you were asked to participate in either operation, what would you do? cpwm17 Dec 2011 #29
Well that is a fair question and a fair point. zeemike Dec 2011 #30
There's no way that there's the expertise to pull it off cpwm17 Dec 2011 #31
Well then how does the mob and other organized crime do it? zeemike Dec 2011 #32
Since mob informers are the key to most police investigations hack89 Feb 2012 #39
But that is because their are police and law enforcement. zeemike Feb 2012 #40
You are naive if you believe that. zeemike Feb 2012 #41
you would have to be a sociopath BobbyBoring Feb 2012 #37
Well I would know only what I needed to know to do my part of the plan zeemike Feb 2012 #46
You've been watching too many movies Confusious Feb 2012 #43
And you perhaps not enough history. zeemike Feb 2012 #45
Nope, not me Confusious Feb 2012 #47
Well I never saw it in the movies zeemike Feb 2012 #49
do I detect some contempt from you about people that you consider CTers? Confusious Feb 2012 #50
Do you know what disinformation is? zeemike Feb 2012 #53
So you're spreading disinformation? Confusious Feb 2012 #55
Well it is astounding to me that people can buy that . zeemike Feb 2012 #56
"that is just basic science" William Seger Feb 2012 #57
The first frame is before the impact.of the head shot. zeemike Feb 2012 #59
Nope William Seger Feb 2012 #61
No that is the frame where the bullet struck zeemike Feb 2012 #64
Utter nonsense William Seger Feb 2012 #68
Well look this is not nonsense zeemike Feb 2012 #69
If the Zapruder film is REALLY what made you believe that Oswald didn't shoot JFK, William Seger Feb 2012 #71
You mean to tell me zeemike Feb 2012 #72
in what sense do you "see" that? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #73
Because if the bullet did not strike in 312 zeemike Feb 2012 #74
didn't you just say yourself... OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #75
Well let me try again to explain. zeemike Feb 2012 #76
OK, let's think about this OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #77
Some good points zeemike Feb 2012 #78
meh OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #79
Well how about we just declare you the winner zeemike Feb 2012 #80
This is NOT a "small point" William Seger Feb 2012 #81
Now this is how you control the discussion... zeemike Feb 2012 #84
yo, if you're so free from fear, get the heck out of fetal position OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #82
We are discussing it on your terms. zeemike Feb 2012 #83
jeepers OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #85
Again we are back to math. zeemike Feb 2012 #86
so you don't think the head changes position from 312 to 313? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #87
Well let me try to be clear. zeemike Feb 2012 #89
well, no OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #91
Really? zeemike Feb 2012 #95
"And you cannot explain that backward movement with any thing that makes sense" William Seger Feb 2012 #97
Well you can't prove a negative zeemike Feb 2012 #100
Another myth. Actually, it IS sometimes possible to prove a negative William Seger Feb 2012 #105
This is getting kinda bizarre William Seger Feb 2012 #93
OK...so the ejected material is several feet away zeemike Feb 2012 #96
In other words, you've got nothing William Seger Feb 2012 #98
Now with the ridicule. zeemike Feb 2012 #101
Your theory is all assumption and no fact. zappaman Feb 2012 #102
The facts presented is what we see in the film. zeemike Feb 2012 #107
Here's what's ridiculous about it, by the way William Seger Feb 2012 #108
No that is not what I said. zeemike Feb 2012 #109
"The shutter on frame 313 was open for 1/30 of a second" zappaman Feb 2012 #110
Frames per second is different from shutter speed. zeemike Feb 2012 #115
The camera's manual says a nominal 16 fps and 1/35th sec exposure William Seger Feb 2012 #119
Well thanks for looking that up zeemike Feb 2012 #120
WTF? William Seger Feb 2012 #112
No sir the shutter speed is all that is relevant. zeemike Feb 2012 #116
I seriously doubt that a timeline is going to unconfuse you, but let's try: William Seger Feb 2012 #118
I get what you are claiming. zeemike Feb 2012 #121
So you have no explanation for the forward head snap William Seger Feb 2012 #122
Can't let it end when you say inertia is imaginary physics zeemike Feb 2012 #123
No, it's your claimed "DELAY due to inertia" that's imaginary William Seger Feb 2012 #124
Well I can't compete with that zeemike Feb 2012 #125
Hopeless William Seger Feb 2012 #126
You are right it is hopeless zeemike Feb 2012 #127
This may be the most ridiculous thing I've read about the JFK assassination in some time. zappaman Feb 2012 #99
there is only one reason I am still here zeemike Feb 2012 #103
"this is like a case study in how debunking CTs work" William Seger Feb 2012 #106
it's kind of hilarious-- if a "conspiracy theorist" had presented this as proof he'd be laughed at. NoMoreWarNow Apr 2012 #137
It's motion blur caused by camera motion William Seger Apr 2012 #139
that may be, but your data is still inconclusive NoMoreWarNow Apr 2012 #141
Neither William Seger Apr 2012 #142
Frame 313 is not an instant, it is a duration. And during that duration the head may have travelled eomer Feb 2012 #88
OK, where does that get us? OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #90
Back to square one. eomer Feb 2012 #92
See gif in post #93. There was no forward motion before frame 312 William Seger Feb 2012 #94
"square one" was trash talk about "the power of fear" OnTheOtherHand Feb 2012 #104
Well, you've just proved my point Confusious Feb 2012 #58
I want to listen and have been listening. zeemike Feb 2012 #60
