The Diary — Old Hoax or New or Not a Hoax at All?​

[Lombro2]

For the sake of the people who delegate their thinking process when it comes to certain aspects of the case such as this, it behooves us to clearly explain to them what they are believing in.

Caveat emptor.

Also this is what happens when you force people to be on your side. Do you still want my support?

On the other hand we can prove that the diary wasn't written by James Maybrick.
We can also prove that Michael Barrett secretly attempted to acquire a genuine Victorian diary with blank pages in March 1992.
That's good enough for me and anyone else that looks at it without bias.

Then I pray you are not a policeman, a detective, a lawyer, a judge, or a member of any jury because you are far too easily persuaded on far too little 'evidence' which is often horribly ambiguous and you believe implicitly in a 'truth' which can almost certainly never be confirmed.

To say you look without bias when you are clearly only looking one way is utterly risible, mate.

There's nothing "horribly ambiguous" about "a one off instance", mate. Just the worst of multiple giveaway mistakes by the forger.

Nor is there any ambiguity about the fact that Barrett did secretly attempt to acquire a genuine Victorian diary with blank pages in March 1992. The only thing that’s ‘risible’ Ike are the embarrassing excuses that have been made for this clearly guilty action. It’s like the police looking at the computer of the man denying that he’s killed his wife only to find multiple searches for ‘how to dispose of a recently killed woman.’

Not suspicious at all according to you.

If Maybrick could speak from the grave, Old Bean, I wonder if he would say the same about you?

On a lighter note, I heard that a short film about the Maybrick case is in post-production. Starring, among others, Chris Clarkson as Sir Charles Russell.

Maybe they can explain why Florence Maybrick was railroaded by James’ Freemason brother(s). I can’t for the life of me think of why.

Until then, Ike and I will just have to be satisfied with The Limehouse Golem as the closest think to a James as Jack movie.

Spoiler alert, but in the Limehouse Golem doesn't the diary turn out to have been written by a woman? The poisoned man being innocent of the serial killings?

Golly, it must suck when you just can't catch a break.
