Happy Let's Get Rid of Allen Dulles Day. Joe Kennedy soon after the BOP: . "I know that outfit, and I wouldn't pay them a hundred bucks a week. It's a lucky thing they were found out early." I don't think luck had anything to do with it. Intentional sabotage by Richard Bissell and McGeorge Bundy, more like it.

Ideas for Water Cooler improvement.
Cliff Varnell replied to Sandy Larsen's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Much better. And a water cooler for "Those who believe alternative/MAGA facts." Works for me. I entertain "alternative" views on a number of subjects, none are MAGA tho. 2 threads cover it. -

Cliff Varnell replied to Sandy Larsen's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I think the Water Cooler needed one thread -- "Free for All." I think many here find "MAGA" and "Mainstream" pejoratives. -
How to delete photos in locked threads.
Cliff Varnell replied to Sandy Larsen's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Consider yourself contacted, Sandy. I'd like to delete attachments on the 56 years thread. Now what? -

Cliff Varnell replied to Sandy Larsen's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Attachments. There's no edit function in a locked thread. "For those who believe mainstream contemporary facts." I find that off-putting. -

Because the 56 years thread is locked, I can't edit out attachments. Anyway around this? -
Model of the Throat Wound
Cliff Varnell replied to Cliff Varnell's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
The plotters apparently had their reasons. A first shot-kill shot must not have been 100% guaranteed. My bet is on the Black Dog Man position. But it didn't since the first shot wasn't a kill shot. -
Model of the Throat Wound
Cliff Varnell replied to Cliff Varnell's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Wouldn't your proposed scenario require it? So in this scenario a .22 round ripped a couple inches of trachea, mushroomed, bruised the top of the lung and broke blood vessels, then left a hairline fracture of the right T1 transverse process. That's very little damage, eh? What was the purpose of a non-lethal first shot? If they wanted to paralyze the target why not use a blood soluble paralytic and not worry over removing a round? -
Model of the Throat Wound
Cliff Varnell replied to Cliff Varnell's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
It surely counterfeits (again) the claim that the throat wound was an exit. Sadly, it isn't only LNers who pass that lie. It appears to have rendered him immobile and mute. I don't believe the stare of death photo is authentic. An extra cervical x-ray to locate a small caliber bullet? Small like a pellet? A hairline fracture of the right T1 transverse process. Nothing but soft tissue. -
According to the cervical x-ray (authenticated by Dr. David Mantik) there was an air-pocket overlaying the right C7/T1 transverse processes. James Gordon had worked up a model of JFK's cervical structure, so I asked him about the trajectory of such an air-pocket.

Trump on releasing the JFK records
Cliff Varnell replied to K K Lane's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Do not trust narratives promoted by Ben Cole. Stephens referred to the Steele Dossier and the FBI surveillance of Carter Page as an "elaborate hoax." Nothing came of the Page surveillance and the Steele Dossier was barely mentioned in the Mueller Report. -

A Question for the Warren Commission Apologists
Cliff Varnell replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
100% proof of conspiracy was presented by Michael Baden of the HSCA and James Humes in his WC testimony. <emphasis added> Michael Baden, Head of the HSCA Medical Panel "In [JFK's] jacket and the underlying shirt there is a perforation of the fabric that corresponds directly with the location of the perforation of the skin of the right upper back that, the panel concluded, was an entrance gunshot perforation that entered the back of the President. This is correspondingly seen in the shirt underneath." https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/reportvols/vol1/html/HSCA_Vol1_0100b.htm The WC testimony of Commander James Humes pg 364-5 https://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh2/pdf/WH2_Humes.pdf <emphasis added> Mr. SPECTOR: Have you had an opportunity to examine the clothing which has been identified for you as being that worn by the President on the day of the assassination? Commander HUMES: Yes; yesterday, just shortly before the Commission hearing today was begun, Mr. Chief Justice, we had opportunity for the first time to examine the clothing worn by the late President. In private conversation among ourselves before this opportunity, we predicted we would find defects in the clothing corresponding with the defects which were found, of course, on the body of the late President. .. Mr. SPECTOR: …Doctor Humes, will you describe for the record what hole, if any, is observable in the back of that garment which would be at or about the spot you have described as being the point of entry on the President’s back or lower neck. Commander HUMES. Yes, sir. This exhibit is a grey suit coat stated to have been worn by the President on the day of his death. Situated to the right of the midline high in the back portion of the coat is a defect, one margin of which is semicircular. Situated above it just below the collar is an additional defect. It is our opinion that the lower of these defects corresponds essentially with the point of entrance of the missile at Point C on Exhibit 385. Mr. SPECTER. Would it be accurate to state that the hole which you have identified as being the point of entry is approximately 6 inches below the top of the collar, and 2 inches to the right of the middle seam of the coat? Commander HUMES. That is approximately correct, sir. This defect, I might say, continues on through the material. </q> The bullet holes in the clothes match the back wound -- too low to associate with the throat wound. -

Here's RFKjr pimping another right-wing narrative: You’ll Never Guess What RFK Jr. Says Really Causes Mass Shootings https://newrepublic.com/post/180434/rfk-guns-kill-people-antidepressants Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a reputation for promoting pseudoscience. But in a recently surfaced interview, Kennedy makes one of his wildest claims yet: that the rise in mass shootings over the past 20 years is due to antidepressants and video games. </q> Video games are popular in Iceland. https://www.statista.com/outlook/dmo/digital-media/video-games/iceland So are anti-depressants. https://www.aljazeera.com/program/mindset/2024/1/14/why-are-antidepressants-so-popular-in-iceland#:~:text=Iceland is known for its,highest rate of antidepressant use. So are guns. -

Cliff Varnell replied to Cliff Varnell's topic in Political Discussions
Ah, I misunderstood you. My bad. RFKjr dropped out of the Dem primary in early October. How hard did he try to pressure Biden to debate? Is RFKjr tilting to Trump because of personal animus toward Biden? Like in 2000 when Ralph Nader tilted to Bush by campaigning in Florida two days before the election? That gave us a million dead Iraqis and a fascist Supreme Court. -

I bet Jim DiEugenio could get a cushy job in the HHS comms shop. A pair of gold sneakers might be a snazzy new look for Jim.

Trump on releasing the JFK records
Cliff Varnell replied to K K Lane's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Gotta link? I think the report makes a good case for some over-counting of Hillary's primary votes, but nothing near 3.7 million. No, it's about the delegate count. The odds against total high end estimate accuracy are astronomical. Still have my Sanders '16 poster in my window. But what's right is right.
