Charlie,
I had an epiphany when I was 21 or 22 that I thought was original until I saw the Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper movie A Study in Terror. I was looking at how charismatic hate leaders were able to bend so many minds when it hit me that “the most potent ingredient in an outrageous lie is an obvious truth.” The Sherlock Holmes character in A Study in Terror might have said it better. He said, “There is noting more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
I’m sure that the screenplay writer for A Study in Terror and I saw the same pattern of successful lies. If you hit people with something that they know is true from their own experiences, their vicarious experiences and their common sense and slip in a fabrication that isn’t readily apparent, most people will swallow the whole thing.
The O.J. case is loaded with obvious facts – way too many of them with way too many “coincidental” connections to the same people in all of the right places and all of the right times to. And all of them seem to connect in one important way or another to Mark Fuhrman.
We’re still making guesses about the people involve with Heidi and Nicole and trying our best to test those guesses against available information. The hidden whole truth is still hiding in obvious facts, but I think that we are getting a better glimpse of it on these boards than anyone else. When I go back to the beginning of each new thread it’s always fascinating to me to see how far we come in sweeping away the fog.
Sometime we go nowhere. Sometimes we at least discover what the truth can’t be. Sometimes, when we put our heads together, we see what the truth MUST be. I think we have enough with the available information on Heidi and Nicole as well as some of the hidden information that someone must have hidden for a good reason, to get to the bottom of things. Maybe someone here already has gotten to the bottom of things and we just have to find out who that person is. –Jasper
