Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. I'm your host, Jeff Crudell. At the end of the last episode, I promised you that during the next episode,

I would endeavor to provide at least some objective criticisms of Gordon Arnold's testimony.

As you know, I don't usually do that, and frankly, up to this point,

most of it has been sworn testimony by mostly credible witnesses. Whatever inconsistencies

there are, it's mostly innocent and honest differences in human perception. No real need

for me to intervene. But one of our avid listeners, Chris from Wales,

the same Chris that helped us identify the issues with Mary Woodford's on-camera statements.

You remember them. The ones about the BBC and the men who killed Kennedy? Well, Chris provided

more commentary to me this past week after these last

couple of episodes with Beverly Oliver. Frankly, the time I spent at the beginning of episode 41

talking about our need to objectively evaluate evidence and in some cases throw out some of the

evidence if we found it not to be credible, well,

that is a reiteration of something I truly believe to be important. That iteration was inspired

by Chris's comments to me. So thank you, Chris. And as a side note, I also cringe a bit when I talk

about throwing out evidence that is not credible,

because that is just the language that the Warren Commission used when good evidence was ignored

because it did not fit the narrative. It underscores in this world that evil hides behind

innocent language and the like. It really does hide in the most obvious of

spots. So be careful. Like a snake in the woods, you can pass by peacefully, sometimes right next to it,

never seeing it, never being frightened by it. But if you happen to step on it, well, all bets are off on what happens next.

Perhaps it was timely and darned if it didn't lead to a real obligation on my part to say something

more about Gordon Arnold. I really haven't had a good feeling about this witness from the beginning.
