I think some people get the government they were born into or had shoved down their throats.

Here is a list of free downloadable stylometry programs in case you wish to run the analysis again with a different one: https://guides.temple.edu/stylometryfordh/programs

When was Jo ever in Seattle to spend time examining FBI 302s? Jo was a realtor. Her primary mission was to 'own' the Cooper story in its entirety including all rights. That is where Duane came in. One witness claims he has her on tape. In the beginning her claim was that Duane 'might be' DB Cooper. Within two years Duane 'was' Cooper. After the first several years her relationship with the FBI became contentious. Her relationships with Vortex people became contentious. She tried to groom Tom Kaye and Larry Carr while ignoring and even deprecating me behind the scene. I never saw the value others thought they saw in Jo. Jo avoided me. She got hostile with me several times. I still remember one exchange I had with Jo on this forum. Jo was explaining at length how it was Duane who brought DB Cooper up first which included Duane spontaneously taking Jo out on a sight seeing trip when they lived at Virginia Beach. During this random trip driving down a street Duane pointed to a house and slowed and explained: that is where Richard McCoy lived (and was killed). Jo said she didnt know what Duane was talking about. I let this pass without comment and a week or more later I spontaneously asked Jo: 'remember you said Duane showed you where McCoy was killed'?. I asked: 'Who knew McCoy's address?'. Jo quickly replied: 'Oh. I did.' ... which contradicted her prior version. This example was so typical of Jo. Just change the context and you get different even contradictory answers from Jo . . . On the other hand I continue to this day amazed about how many people didnt care about Jo's credibility! Jo enjoyed a kind of immunity which applies to this day . . . she had many people convinced she knew something!

This is the only thing worthy of mentioning out of the latest Vault release. It's Hal Williams looking at photos and he discusses Cooper's hair a little bit. He seems to be criticizing the Bing sketch for not having enough hair and for the hair not being curlier. Also says Bing's head is too narrow. And it's too bad that we don't know who the suspect is who is redacted since he says Cooper looked five years older than whomever this suspect is.

I do believe that more Canadians are starting to feel that the rate is now too high. The housing shortage is really pinching hard and goodwill is wearing a little thin in places. The whole country can feel the pendulum swinging to the right.

This is the part people seem to be missing. Our countries are basically Ponzi schemes. If you want to keep it going, you need new people.

It is nice to see movement and something new in Cooper research! Refreshing.....

Download those Chaucer and let me know what you come up with. We have one Clara letter that is 200 words, you're better off doing a visual comparison. Clara could type and spell, it does not look like Barb was too good at it. But next I'm sure someone will say that Barb dictated to someone. Have at it. That is one of the sites I quoted from. It lists three programs, and just because you can download does not mean someone knows how to use these. One is Signature, which we've already determined is suspect. The second is JGAAP which has not been updated since 2013. It takes some training to use Java, but it is not as widely used anymore. Data scientists have graduated to R and Python and other coding platforms. The third one mentioned is R Stylo. Good luck learning that one It takes time. I've taken courses in R, and have used R Stylo. The Formans are some of the nicest people in the Vortex, and that is probably why people give them leeway on the Barb story. If someone reads the book, believe me they would not be investing time in Barb for anything. It's a fun story and gets viewers, that's it. They want her to be Clara as much as they want her to be Cooper. Let me know if disagreeing with Barb is making fun of a trans person like you claimed I was doing with women, an autistic guy, and an admin for Facebook when I disagreed with them and called them out.

As Jon Stewart pointed out this week: if you're not big on the incoming immigrants, having Hannibal Lecter types amongst them might not be the worst thing ever...

I definitely erred by agreeing to do the podcast before I had a chance to put my findings into writing somewhere. My explanation is simply I haven't had time. As some know, I have a young child that takes most of my free time and since his birth I have tried to move away from the Vortex. I also have a demanding day job. Not having something in writing about this is on me. Mea culpa. To address the criticisms: There is a sample size issue. These results are probabalistic, and a false positive is always a possibility. I was using the Signature stylometry software that is about 25 years old. I would much prefer to let the DNA sample taken from Clara's letter do the talking. The Forman's will be supplying me with more writing samples from Barb and I believe there's a way to address the sample size issue. I will also try to find reasonable control samples to test as well. (I did test control samples of other writibg about Cooper, but I'd like find something contemporaneous to 1982 when the Clara letter was written)

Couple of questions. What agenda do you think I have? I don’t have “a guy” I have always been in the dead camp. Anyone alive after 24/11/71 was a no from me and this has never changed. Why do I have no business talking about this? What more right do you have to be here than anyone else? When it comes to me being a self-proclaimed novelist il put this to you and as a military man I’m sure you will appreciate it, how about we compare resumes and il flip you for it?

I was trying to say that the tie was the only connection that *could* be made between Barb and the hijacking since both her stories lack "guilty knowledge" of the events on the plane. Barb did work scores of jobs as Bobby, and focusing on connecting the tie to her was the avenue I suggested to the Formans.

I think there is a very strong likelihood that she actually got to spend some time with the 302’s. I suspect she bugged Eng enough that he may have relented and let her look at them. Too many things DEEP in the 302’s that she knew about: Dr. Roman, Heisson store, Coffelt being James Earl Ray’s cell mate (which she co-opted and claimed it was actually Duane being the cell mate) and then the time she called me and asked if Duane could have had anything to do with the assassination of Medgar Evers (since my office was the one who prosecuted the assassin). I was flabbergasted. “Where the hell is this lady coming up with this”, I was thinking. Then sure enough a couple of years ago I come across a 302 about Byron DeLa Beckwith, the assassin of Evers.

Marty isn’t saying Barb is Cooper. He’s simply saying that she was Clara.

Agreed. But it is also not their job to save an individual from us. The Liberal Trio in their dissent laden concurrence argued that the Court was out of their lane and making rulings that would define later cases. They argued their task was only to answer if a state could make a section 3 determination, not to go further and state that only congress could. The SC could have ruled on the absolute immunity question when Smith requested in December, I think. They wanted the Appeals Court below to answer first. Then they slow walked their decision (on whether a President could order murder with immunity, mind you) and decided the question needed to be decided months from now. They took 3 days for Bush v. Gore. They are partisan hacks with their thumbs heavily on the scale, in my opinion.

And then mentions that he still has hope that the rest of his family will make different choices, even if he doesn't. I agree. I was not trying to imply that you are like this, or suggest what your life experience is, merely that there conservatives and liberals have different views on how families work. Yep. But let's take a more realistic scenario. Let's say your son was born with a minor birth defect. Nothing big, just something he gets made fun of for occasionally. But he does take it quite personally. And when he's 5 he cries constantly about it. And when he's 10 he tries to kill himself for the first time. At age 11 he almost succeeds. I have a feeling you would try to get him help, perhaps see a psychiatrist. And if the psychiatrist told you that he'd worked a lot of these cases before, and plastic surgery had been successful in other such cases when nothing else worked, I bet you'd even consider it. Not because you are OK with him "cutting off his face" (or whatever colorful adjective you wanted to use for the plastic surgery.) Not because you "respect his independence." Not because you want to let the surgeon abuse him. Not because you think that people with birth defects are inferior. But because you love him and you don't want to see him kill himself, or live a lifetime of self-loathing and misery.

Yes, my question sucked in both form and content. I am not opposed to plastic bag bans because they are damaging trash and easily done without. Better to use trash that is less damaging even when picking up after your miserable dog that ran out into the landing area to crap. One of the most amazing places to scuba on the planet is the coral triangle in Indonesia. Converging nutrient flows deliver huge amounts of food and also tons of plastic crap. I've made several hundred dives there over several years with some breaks between trips. Towards the end I'd have my pouches filled with crap after an hour or so and was also often distracted by plastic junk in the current behind me. So I watched it getting worse and worse destroying something very much worth saving.

The top selling vehicle in the WORLD in 2023 was . . the Tesla Model Y. Again, here in reality. https://www.motor1.com/news/706258/tesla-model-y-worlds-top-selling-vehicle-2023/

The 2 current sides are in no way similar IMO. Biden has continually proven he can and IS doing a damn good job at POTUS. Yeah, he's old. He still exercises, runs, is damn sharp mentally, and actually has a soul and shows feelings. Trump is a traitor who wants to end our democracy. Oh, and he's a rapist. And facing HOW MANY FELONY CHARGES???

Hi Nigel, Think Germany in 1933. Jerry Baumchen The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller
