Hello all,
I wanted to start a thread that discussed the probability of we, the general public, have been fed disinformation down the years from official sources, in other words The Home Office, The Met Police, The City Police, etc.
Here I am talking from 1888 onwards, and many will have noted with some dfegree of surprise the constant "changing" of "retired" high ranking policemen's views down the years, some claiming the truth, some claiming that the truth will never be known, some claiming that previous high ranking policemen did not tell the truth, etc etc etc.
Combining this with the possibility, indeed, we have knowledge of SB involvement in the case, of official sources deflecting attention away from anything that may point towards any other theory other than the (non-existant) "official view", other than the case has remained insolved.
I note with some trepidation the words of the Met Police regarding suspects and theories and whom are included on that list, and for what reason. I note the involvement of the Met police museum in declaring a known suspect as being the Ripper.
I note that there is a wave of people today reluctant to change one thing, or indeed, accept as a possibility any new idea that may change things. However, on a board post on JTR forums some 3 months ago, I asked for opinions as to whether any individual thought that the murders were the work of more than one person, in asking how many victioms any individual thought should be attributed to "JTR". I was surprised that there were indeed few who said 5 or more. Which actually means that there are many who DIO NOT actually agree with the "written rules" of the WM series.
I welcome all sensible and balanced opinions, and look forward to the disussion, hopefully held in the spirit of friendliness and contemplation, rather than barbed comment and rancour. Thank you for your considerations in all of the above matters.
