Halls of Fame & Shame Election Results

[ThomZajac]

All the votes have been cast!In order to gain entry into The Hall, nominees needed to be included on 80% of the submitted ballots- a very high standard. As a result, the first class into The Hall is the very best of the very best. Many deserving nominees did not make it this time, but they are still eligible for future votes.Here then, are the first official inductees into The Halls of Fame and ShameFameJim Garrison (unanimous)Robert Groden (unanimous)Mark Lane (unanimous)Jim Marrs (unanimous)Wim DanbaarMary FerrellShameVincent Bugliosi (unanimous)Allen Dulles (unanimous)John McAdams (unanimous)Gerald FordJ. Edgar HooverLyndon Baines JohnsonGary MackGerald PosnerArlen SpecterThanks! If you protest in the streets, I'll conduct a recount.

Thanks for this benchmarking, Thom! It strengthens my basic feeling, that I'm not alone with my opinions. Dankbaar actually. (German: dankbar = English: thankful)

Nice work Thom!

[ThomZajac]

My pleasure, guys.I was remiss, though, in not noting that the nominees were for the field of Investigators/Researchers. As Bob and others have mentioned, additional categories merit their own votes (ie. 'conspirators', 'witnesses'). Perhaps in the near future we can address one of those.

Oops, a typo, sorry Wim...should, of course, be Wim Dankbaar.

A MAJOR error was when the Warren Commission bascially convicted Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin of JFK. A compounded MAJOR error is when folks like Gerald Posner, Vincent Bugliosi, John McAdams and Gary Mack spew the same distortion with their disinformation. Luckily, only a minor portion (20%) of the American population believe their bullshit.
