You are
I've noticed lately that those people who refuse to accept the DNA analysis done by the Russian/British scientists as legitimate point to some conspiracy conducted by the Russian government. Look at the bottom of that website JonC where the webhost says "[...] so that everyone who has a voice can express their outrage on the Russian government for continuing to hide the truth." Why would they need to hide the truth? The Russian government has no problem meeting with Maria Vladimirovna and her family, or Nicholas Romanov and his family.
This particular case strikes me as being absurd than most others. Claiming that the Empress herself survived is rather absurd - why didn't she contact her family? Why didn't she contact the other surviving Romanov's?
Also, could anyone explain the conspiracy theorist line that the Russian government has something to hide?
edit: JonC that site is ridiculous. Check this photo ( http://home.earthlink.net/~alexofdenmark/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/kaiserandemanuele.jpg ), the website claims that this is a photo of his grandfather "Emanuele" with Kaiser Wilhelm II... that's laughable. That man is not kaiser wilhelm.
As I said, discussions are not allowed about Mr. LoPresti. You make unqualified statements about how ' ridiculous ' his site is. So I'm compelled to reply. First of all the Russian govt., ingratiates Maria because she isn't of Nicholas 2nd's line or of any Pauline legitimate line. Eliminating the legitimate line with bones collected in an unscientific, contaminated way which no court on earth could or would consider valid IF it were ever taken to court was the only way the Russian, American and British govts., could collude together in order to establish democracy in Russia...my opinion of course....These governments needed to have Russia to grow and move on with freedom and democracy. Eliminating the Romanov issue from the minds of the Russian people was a valiant effort in order to free Russians from their historical capacity to be subservient to totalitarianism, and also, on the other hand, to rebuild the palaces and Romanov imagery so that Russians could be proud of their history, creating a foundation for a new world and a new hope for the future.
All this, though, doesn't take away the reality that the Royal Family could still have survived as Mr. LoPresti is trying to prove even now with his ' Y Chromosome ' analysis. Sorry if this offends anyone but I have an open mind about this and am eagerly awaiting the results. JonC.
