You can't make this s--t up. Former DU member says Roy Moore was robbed.

Richard Charnin a.k.a. Truth is All , the purported “expert” in voter fraud who has been cited by the Roy Moore campaign to claim that Democrat Doug Jones did not legitimately win this month’s Alabama Senate special election, is a notorious conspiracy theorist who has claimed that he has “mathematically proved” that there was a vast conspiracy to assassinate former President John F. Kennedy.


As noted by CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, Charnin in 2014 published a book called “Reclaiming Science: the JFK Conspiracy,” which was described as “a mathematical analysis of unnatural deaths, witness testimony, altered evidence and media disinformation” about Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

In essence, the book examines purportedly “unnatural” deaths of key people related to the supposed assassination plot — and concludes that it’s mathematically impossible for their deaths to be a coincidence.

“Reclaiming Science: The JFK Conspiracy is based on a statistical analysis of unnatural JFK-related deaths, Dealey Plaza eyewitness observations, medical, acoustic and photographic evidence,” reads the book’s description. “Warren Commission defenders and the Corporate Media avoid the evidence and continue to promote the bogus Single Bullet Theory and that Oswald was the lone shooter, despite overwhelming evidence that he was not on the 6th floor of the Texas Book Depository.”

Some of our battles with him were legendary though he did have a fair amount of devotees here. I will keep on subscribing to Occam's Razor, the explanation that requires the least amount of assumptions is true.


OMG, I found this chestnut on his blog site:

That being said, I'm glad he's "former," and not still spewing his conspiracy theories here.

William of Ockham > Richard Charnin.

I am a firm believer in voter suppression, outright fraud not so much.

behind a disguised IPS than a malicious agent with an agenda to continue?

Every week MIRT identifies returnees who lack the patience and cleverness to hide their malice. Successful agents take the time to settle into the community, cheering whoever's the flavor of the moment and chatting about favorite music in the lounge, before spreading their insidious poisons in many doses too light to be actionable.

4. They should barely mention his name in the press

Just a small aside that the only expert Moore has is a conspiracy theorist who has no credible credentials.

They should not give this idiot more than 1 nanosecond of fame.

6. According to him we never lost an election. That made him popular with some.

His analysis was flawed then and it was flawed now.

8. 'Richard Charnin, said the possibility of the election results ... is "less than one in 15 billion,"

From al.com

One of the three experts, Richard Charnin, said the possibility of the election results in the Jefferson County precincts happening naturally is "less than one in 15 billion," according to the campaign.


I'd love to see his computation for that stat.
