Terry he spoke to FARC at the behest of the country's president "Grasso introduced the FARC as the legitimate government of Columbia while touring with them in Europe" I never heard of him introducing "the FARC as the legitimate government of Columbia" or "touring with them in Europe". I think these were figments of you imagination like that supposed article in the Baltimore Sun. "Grasso's solution is to "take the FARC's cocaine business "public" and trade shares in the illegal enterprise on the financial markets." You made that up too. "According to your brilliant analysis the FARC is not the drug cartel, but instead they sell drugs to finance their revolution." Splitting hairs perhaps but they "tax" (and sometimes provide protection for)drug dealers just as they "tax" all businesses in the areas they control. "What's their revolution, oh yeah, topple the legitimate government of Columbia and turn the country over to Dope, Inc" I'm not defending them but even their critics say that taxing drug dealers is a means to an end not their final objective. According to most sources their relations with the dealers is a bit tense. So this is not analogous the main reasons are -Grasso was not involved in drug trafficking or anything else illegal. - He met FARC at the behest of Colombia's president. Dope, Inc. Edgar Bronfman along with Kennedy in law California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger push for the legalization of Marijuana in California on behalf of Dope, Inc. Edgar Bronfman penned this pro drug legalization article in the San Jose Mercury News on October 20th, 2010. Ironically Gary Webb a reporter with the San Jose Mercury news broke the story in 1996 about drugs, and Iran/Contra. Former Bronfman family attorney Louis Mortimer Bloomfield was the director of Permindex, the apparatus deployed to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The Kennedy family continue to collaborate with the killers of President John F. Kennedy. Quote: California voters often approach elections with a sharp recognition of the importance of their decisions, not just in their own lives, but in the future of the state and the nation. Seldom has this been truer than the votes they will cast next month on their ballot measure known as Proposition 19. If it becomes law, marijuana will become legal to grow, sell and use as a step toward comparable regulations and taxation as have been in effect in the United States regarding alcohol since the repeal of Prohibition 77 years ago. First, our economy will receive an enormous boost. Tax revenues are likely to jump first, followed by a significant reduction in the tens of billions of government spending on the costs of interdiction and enforcement, including our spending on police, courts and prisons. Third, we can become a more rational country in our approach to treatment for those who suffer from the abuses and addictions associated with the many drug dangers in our society. Ironically, Americans enhanced our understanding of the simple fact of equivalence -- there is the same amount of the same ingredient -- potable ethanol -- in most beer, wine and spirits. Now we need to take the opposite step with regard to drugs by focusing on how different are the dangers and treatments. Fourth, I am reminded that two of our greatest intellectual leaders with staunchly opposite views on many topics take virtually the same view on legalizing marijuana. Milton Friedman, the godfather of conservative economics, led a group of more than 500 American economists who endorsed a Harvard study on the costs of marijuana prohibition and the revenue to be gained from legalizing it. At the other end of the philosophical spectrum, Ira Glasser, the former longtime leader of the American Civil Liberties Union is currently speaking out in the marijuana legalization movement. Finally, and despite continued opposition to the proposition itself, California just passed, and the governor just signed, legislation that essentially decriminalizes the state's laws regarding marijuana. This in a very positive step because it has strong similarities to the 8-year-old laws of Portugal, which experts like those of the Cato Institute have long believed is the most effective decriminalization framework regarding all drugs to date. That experience found that "none of the nightmare scenarios ... from rampant increases in drug usage among the young to the transformation of Lisbon into a haven for 'drug tourists' has occurred." Moreover, they found that "drug-related pathologies -- such as sexually transmitted diseases and deaths due to drug usage -- have decreased dramatically." With America's experience with alcohol prohibition and the prolonged success of Portugal's halfway measure of decriminalization, it's time for the voters to lead their tentative politicians by passing Proposition 19 and legalizing marijuana.

There is no reason to assume that my relation with my dad is analogous to Barrett’s with his son but I did not believe my dad’s assertion that there was no proof smoking caused cancer. I did and still do believe that he believed this was the case just as “DebunkDad” doesn’t doubt his father is sincere. Of course I never challenged my dad publicly but they was no Internet when I was growing up. You of course avoided the question of just who might be ‘manipulating’ him. Funny that you see a conspiracy here when not even conspiracy nuts like Fetzer or Barrett do. Fetzer of course knows Barrett and presumably knows the kid too and Barrett of course is far more qualified than you concerning this matter. Why don’t you ask Barrett or his kid about your baseless theory? The former’s blog is http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/ and the latter’s is http://debunkdad.blogspot.com/. “Young Debunka” also posts at the JREF forum as “theshillbarrett” http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=188602 (starting with post #19). Actually I think your theory is so silly I’ll ask him about it. Believe what you want. I mentioned nothing of anyone using this kids name. I stated that the whole thing lacked credibility and it still does. I don't care what you, Jim Fetzer or anyone else thinks. I don't think Kevin Barrett's 13 year old son would take it upon himself to "debunk dad" without being manipulated into doing so. Furthermore I don't care who is manipulating the kid. I find the 911 Truth Movement to be as synthetic as those who have kept the JFK assassination machine rolling all these years.

One out of every 34 Americans who earned wages in 2008 earned absolutely nothing -- not one cent -- in 2009. The stunning figure was released earlier this month by the Social Security Administration, but apparently went unreported until it appeared today on Tax.com in a column by Pulitzer Prize-winning tax reporter David Cay Johnston. It's not just every 34th earner whose financial situation has been upended by the financial crisis. Average wages, median wages, and total wages have all declined -- except at the very top, where they leaped dramatically, increasing five-fold. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/25/income_inequality_statistics_tax_code__n_773392.h tml The tabulations, staggering as they may be, are only half of half of picture. Behind the official 10 percent unemployment (which is probably somewhere closer to 22 percent), are the stories of millions of individuals who are struggling to get by or are coming to terms with a future of lower wages and a life with less. "60 Minutes" profiled the underemployed and unemployed on Sunday in a piece titled "The 99ers." Among the most troubling stories: a financial analyst unemployed for two years and living in a stranger's attic and a former office manager who collects bottles and cans to get by. Play video at end of story from 60 Minutes.

I never made any such claim. I said I doubt this 13 yr old kid took it upon himself to go after his dad like this. Look at you. A 45 year old simpleton who claims your dad was never able to find a link between cigarette smoking and cancer. See the difference? If you can remember what you wrote you should take a look before making false claims about you did or didn't say. You wrote: "This whole scenario with the Barret's son lacks credibility. I mean how many son's would take their dad to task like this? There's great irony with Len Colby bringing this BS forward. It's quite funny actually" Who do you think is behind him going "after his dad like this"? He lives at home with his dad and was 12 when he started. Resorting to name calling and attacking my dad is a sure sign you know your loosing the debate. There is no debate. My first comment is consistent with my previous post. I do not believe a 13 year old kid would attack his father without being manipulated. To further prove the point I used you and your father as an example. Would you "debunk" the story that your father "couldnt find evidence linking his product to cancer"? Ridiculous.

More gibberish. Did experts find explosive materials or not?

I believe Jim Jones was the leading "vote getter" for the Carter/Mondale ticket in the San Fran/bay area. He was recognized by Mondale and/or Carter for the work he did on behalf of their campaign.

If your "message" was that you jump to conclusions and insinuate things without making a minimal effort to verify your suspicions then I got it 'loud and clear'. But since I doubt that's what it was I'm in the dark. More gibberish.

No my recollection isnt faulty. The article may be in error but then again the information you just posted may also be in error. Or there may be more than one version as is typical in these kind of cover up. He did use a key and according to the Baltimore Sun this set off an alarm. So you claim, you have yet to produce any evidence to that effect. In response to your undocumented claims. Even if they said the door was locked your claim that the thief must have locked it was speculation. Until you document this claim it isn't a fact. As you said "The facts shouldnt be that hard to confirm or refute." all you have to do is search through your browser's history till find the supposed article I like the way you throw the word "evidence" around. The higher court ruled their was NO EVIDENCE to support a burglary conviction, meaning there was NO PROOF the defendant was ever at the scene of the murder. Furthermore they never produced a witness or a murder weapon. Your response to this lack of evidence "so what he got convicted and many murder defendants have been convicted with no evidence". You should be more careful. Finding citations on the internet is not evidence. Imagine someone using your blogging as confirmation of some controversy. Colby's thirst for evidence: Even if true the same court upheld his 2nd conviction. Lots of murders are convicted without murder weapons or eyewitnesses.

Not analogous, Grasso was never approved by a government commission to hold an appointed position and was made president of the NYSE before the meeting.

Williams was 5' 1" This is a repeat of the Wayne Williams case in Atlanta back in 1981. It's literally identical from the fiber evidence and all the rest. The higher court that threw out the coviction stated in their conclusion that there was NO evidence of Williams breaking into the home of the Trias. No evidence of a break in. Furthermore officials could not prove Williams wrote the note left hanging on the victims door. There was no murder weapon produced, no witnesses and no proof Williams had broken into the victims home or even that he was allowed in by the victims or opened an unlocked door.

So was the alarm system on a timer? Tell us Kevin.

That they were close and shared clothing. Shared clothing? I don't recall making such a bizarre claim. What is the purpose of sharing clothing, did I say how it was connected to Vidal knowing some of the family skeletons? That was my only claim, the Vidal knew the family, and was part of this slime mold of "wealthy" families, like the Kennedy's and others.

Now you got Williams going in and out of a window, or entering this door or that door. It's all speculation on your part. The fact that their alarm went off when the handyman let himself in is highly suspicious. It means the killer(s) would have had to reset it.

I don’t know why you think either of those article support Kathy’s or your silly claims. People even said But others in the family disagree. "I don't think anyone wouldn't recognize the main characters—Jackie is Savannah, Lee is Melanie, my father is Uncle Melville and my mother is Aunt Miriam," says Nina's half brother Jamie Auchincloss, a 34-year-old photographer. "Nini," complains Jamie, who is the progeny of Nina's father, Hugh Auchincloss, and Jackie's mother, Janet Bouvier, "said some rather rough things about my father." (Perhaps revealingly, Nina's big stepsister Lee Radziwill was conspicuously absent from the Manhattan launch party.) Hmm no mention of Nina's half brother. What is the silly claim?

I’ve read several articles in the Sun and other publications about the case and never saw anything along those lines. Can you provide a link? It was located in a "cluster" of articles like you find with this link http://articles.baltimoresun.com/keyword/trias/recent/3 The facts shouldnt be that hard to confirm or refute. My recollection from reading the article was their bodies were found inside the house. The person finding the bodies had to use his key to get into the house which set off an alarm, that according to the story, resulted in the police being dispatched to that location. If those facts are correct then you have to assume the murderer (s) locked the house and reset the alarm.

Ill give you the slow-learner version Hugh D. Auchincloss Jr. was Vidals step-father 1935 41 and Jackies step father 1942 79. They probably only knew each other vaguely if at all. There is no reason to assume he has some sort of special insight in to how the father-in-law of his ex-stepfathers step-daughter made his fortune in the 1920s. Len, I know a lot about Gore Vidal. Gore and Jackie were step-siblings once removed. They were at the home at different times and were friendly. She used to wear his plaid shirts for warmth sometimes. Gore Vidal admired her very much. He wrote after she died how intelligent she was and possessed with a profound acerbic wit. He never said anything about her when she was alive, as far as I know. The trouble started when the Kennedys gave a dinner in the White House. Jackie was in a room with several people. There was nowhere to sit. He squatted down by her and kept his balance by resting his hand on Jackie's shoulder next to him. They started talking. Whoever was on her other side spoke to her. Suddenly his hand was knocked off Jackie's shoulder. It was Bobby Kennedy. Gore ignored him. Again Jackie turned to him and the person on her other side engaged her attention. Again Bobby Kennedy knocked Vidal's hand off Jackie's shoulder. Kennedy walked out of the room. Vidal stormed out after him. He closed the door behind him and other doors were closed. He said, "Don't you ever do that again." To which Kennedy replied, "F--- off, Buddy Boy." To which one of America's man of letters heard himself say, "You f--- off." [i had to clean up the language for Kathy Beckett's sake.] When this party was over, Jackie never spoke to him again. And I think that's tragic. Rumors began circulating that Gore Vidal got drunk at the party, disgraced himself -- and by the early '70's Truman Capote had him physically picked up by Secret Service men and placed onto Pennsylvania Ave. This, of course, was not true. But the story always remained that he got drunk at the White House party and caused trouble. In later years a reporter asked Lee Radziwell (Jackie's sister) about the Gore Vidal and Truman Capote feud. "Oh, everyone knows they're both fags," she said. This almost killed Capote. He had done so much for Lee Radziwell so she could be something by herself. I believe this took place after Capote published several chapters of a new book (never finished) in Esquire: "La Cote Basque," I think. None of his high society friends, except Joann Carson, ever spoke to him again, as it was so obviously about them. Anyway, Gore Vidal and Jackie Kennedy ("two of the coolest people of our generation") got onto an elevator together in NY. Neither one of them knew where to look. They just wouldn't talk. She got off first and said in her Monroe-ish voice, tinged with sarcasm, "Bye."

Thanks for that Terry, you deserve the Adres Escobar Award for posting that. "Joseph Kennedy Ltd" was named as a major player in bootlegging in a 1927 Canadian inquiry and this made the front page of the NY Times at a time when the future president's father was already a major player in Wall St, Hollywood and real estate and you think no one noticed? EDIT: Typo fixed "Joseph Kennedy Ltd" was named as a major player in bootlegging in a 1927 Canadian inquiry and this made the front page of the NY Times at a time when the future president's father was already a major player in Wall St, Hollywood and real estate and you think no one noticed? How many American's or media made a big deal about the NYSE meeting with the drug lords of Columbia in 1999? Richard Grasso meets with Paul Reyes the head of the Columbian drug army FARC. Grasso wanted to take their enterprise "public" as in IPO. He toured Europe with the FARC introdcing them as the "real" Government of Columbia. On June 26, 1999, Reuters reported that Grasso met with Colombian rebels, the FARC, in an article entitled "NYSE Chief Meets Top Colombia Rebel Leader". The FARC is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department (on its list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and is allegedly responsible for kidnappings and narcotics trafficking in order to bankroll their revolutionary activities (see: narcoterrorism). The article quoted Grasso as saying, "I invite members of the FARC to visit the New York Stock Exchange so that they can get to know the market personally." Some found the meeting inexplicable, considering the FARC supports anti-capitalist ideals and has no officially recognized financial clout. Grasso told reporters that he was bringing "a message of cooperation from U.S. financial services."[3] http://yeslove.happysoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/grasso_farc.jpg Back in Kennedy's bootlegging days the market was totally unregulated. The definitive story of the Pecora Commission and the origin and passage of Glass Steagall. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130384189 SIEGEL: This was the jungle. This was the unregulated jungle of Wall Street. Prof. PERINO: Pure laissez-faire. At this point, in the late 1920s and up to the hearings, Washington had never regulated the securities markets. There was some federal regulation of banking, but at this point, Wall Street was pure laissez-faire. SIEGEL: How much credit does Pecora deserve for the reforms that President Roosevelt - who at this moment is just entering office, presidents were inaugurated in those days in March, and the critical hearings were unfolding just before that - the reforms that FDR ultimately championed? Mr. PERINO: I think he deserves a huge amount of credit. And here's the reason why. One of the most famous laws to pass during that first 100 days of Roosevelt's administration was the so-called Glass-Steagall Act. And Glass-Steagall, as many people know, did primarily two things. First of all, it separated commercial and investment banking. And second, what it did was to create federal deposit insurance. Glass-Steagall had actually been kicking around Congress for a couple of years. And in the month before Pecora became counsel to the hearings, it actually went down to a fiery defeat at the hands of Huey Long from Louisiana in a very famous filibuster. But when Pecora came along - and Pecora, I have to say, was the beneficiary of incredible timing, he put Charlie Mitchell(ph) on the stand at precisely the time the banking crisis of 1933 hit. With every bank across the country shuttered and Pecora revealing all of the wrongdoing that was happening on Wall Street, Glass-Steagall sailed through relatively easily and actually was much more extensive than it otherwise would have been. Deposit insurance wasn't even dreamed about in January of 1932. In the spring of 1933, it passed easily. SIEGEL: Yeah, you write that FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was very skeptical about federal deposit insurance. Some states had tried it. He said it didn't work. But the public mood was changing and banks were also closing all over the place. And so what had been a very radical measure a year earlier becomes law. Mr. PERINO: That's right. And his vice president, Garner, basically told Roosevelt, you know, if you want people to put money back in the banks, you're going to have to give them federal deposit insurance. And as we look back on it now, we can see that that federal deposit insurance proved to be one of the most important structural reforms to the banking committee to emerge from the New Deal. SIEGEL: Michael Perino, thank you very much for talking with us. Mr. PERINO: Thanks for having me. Michael Perino's book about Ferdinand Pecora's investigation of the great crash is called "The Hellhound of Wall Street."

If you consider the brutal murders of these scientists, along with many others, as being "silly theories", then you really do need a reality check. Yes Duane scientists - including, biologist even micro ones, get murdered, commit suicide and die in accidents. So do English teachers, antiques dealers, musicians and military officers as well as shoe-shine boys, school teachers, secretaries and seamstresses. In fact about 0.05% of all Americans die violent deaths every year. Men are more likely to die of unnatural causes than women. To demonstrate there is something amiss you have to show that scientists or specifically biologists/micro-biologists are murdered at greater than expected rates. See post 209 of this thread http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=15977&view=findpost&p=208708 The Williams' verdict of guilty was overturned.. He is now presumed innocent, unless proven guilty in a new court of law. You really need to keep up, Williams was reconvicted at his 2nd trial, appealed again but his 2nd conviction was upheld. So he had his guilt proven in two courts before two judges and two juries. As per the latest hit for his name in Google News he is still serving his double life sentence See post 208 of this thread http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=15977&view=findpost&p=208706 "Do you keep missing this reply or do you just keep ignoring it? The evidence suggests that it was no random robbery that took out Jose Trias and his wife .. It appears that the two bit petty thief Scotland E. Williams played the role of Lee Harvey Oswald in this little charade." LHO was never even indicted let alone faced trial, Williams was convicted twice. LHO had no known contact with Kennedy or Connelly and the ID's of him as the person who shot Tippet disputed, Williams admitted to robbing the victims and is the last person know to have seen them alive, there was considerable forensic evidence linking him to the crime scene which claimed never to have been to. "With an endowment of more than $11 billion, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is the largest philanthropy in the US and possibly the most influential sponsor of biomedical research in the world. Choppin was its president from 1987 until the end of 1999. Its first grants were made in 1988..." I have no idea why you think this is relevant I don't consider Ruppert a credible source and even he only says CIA black-op funding "has long been alleged". Your previous source said HHMI "currently supplies about 22 percent of all nonprofit research support in biomedicine" thus a large percentage of biologists/doctors etc will have "worked for medical research facilities that received grants from" them. Perfect example of the crack(pot) researchers you depend on "Long-time biowarfare invstigator Patricia Dole, Ph.D." Her last name is Doyle "reports that there is a history of people connected to HHMI being murdered" There's "a history" but the author could only cite 2!

No they were found dead in their vacation home 40 miles away, in Winchester-on-the-Severn, MD "Police describe the killings as a professional hit." BS, they described it as a robbery and arrested killer within days "Tsunao Saitoh, who formerly worked at an HHMI-funded lab at Columbia University, was shot to death on May 7, 1996" He worked there 1982 - 5*, i.e. for only 3 years, 11 years before the crime. If he knew something why did it take them over a decade to kill him? * http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=hb7t1nb4v2&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00059&toc.depth=1&toc.id= "HHMI is headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and employs more than 2,900 individuals across the U.S"* If we count all the people who ever worked their the number will be much higher. Some of these people will be murdered. * http://community.sciencecareers.org/ctscinet/partners/hhmi/ The Baltimore Sun reported that the person finding the two victims had used his key to get in the house and this tripped the alarm, sending the police to the residence. The killer "locked" the house and reset the "alarm" before leaving? Interesting.
