The Insurrectionists Are Coming by A.B. Stoddard April 26, 2022 5:03 am https://www.thebulwark.com/the-insurrectionists-are-coming/ “He (Kevin McCarthy) chose to protect Trump and punished those who told the truth about the president’s role. He is aware of the complicity of members of his rank and file in this attack on our Republic and is protecting them, as well. New revelations show he has lied about this. Not shaded the truth; not engaged in spin; not obfuscated. Lied. Flat out. If he is promoted to be third in line to the presidency, he will lie about anything. In abetting Trump and his followers in Congress, Kevin McCarthy has emboldened them. True public servants, doing the people’s business, do not work to thwart or weaken the Constitutional order they take an oath to protect. Republicans who took part in, or dismissed, sedition cannot be trusted with control of our government because they will break it.” Steve Thomas

Jim, That's a problem I have with the theory of Oswald being diven away from the Theater in Westbrook's car. if Westbrook is driving a numbered car seen by Earlene Robert's at 1026 N. Beckley, and a numbered car at 10th and Patton, how did Westbrook wind up driving an unmarked car at the Theater? Steve Thomas

Jim, For me, it's the combination of height, but also the weight difference that makes it suspicious. How you go from "slender" to 165 lbs is problematic. DPD Sergeant Gerald Hill: We went on to the scene of the shooting where we found a squad car parked against the right or the south curb on 10th Street, with a pool of blood on the left-hand side of it near the side of the car. Tippit had already been removed. The first man that came up to me, he said, "The man that shot him was a white male about 5'10", weighing 160 to 170 pounds, had on a Jacket and a pair of dark trousers, and brown bushy hair." https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/hill_gl.htm The initial description broadcast over the DPD radio was for a suspect 5"10" tall weighing 165 lbs and nobody knows where that description came from. The broadcast over the Dallas police radio fifteen minutes after JFK was shot was that the unidentified assassin was “5/10, 165 pounds...” http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/w...Vol23_0438a.htm “Although confused commentators have claimed that Howard Brennan was the source, it's well documented that an "unidentified citizen" gave the above description to Inspector Sawyer after he saw someone looking like Oswald running from the Book Depository immediately after the assassination. The citizen did not comply with the sheriff's request to come to the office later to fill out a report, and Hoover said that the "sheriff's office can locate no record on this citizen". https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=57753&relPageId=109 Even after the Warren Report was published, Hoover responded in November, 1964 to general counsel J. Lee Rankin's request that according to the Dallas police the information came from an ‘unidentified citizen’.” http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=72 - Thanks for the heads up about the link.

Page 868 Suspect is described by Patrolman H.W. Summers as 5'11 and 165 lbs He said he got his information from an eyewitness. This would be about 1:34 PM. I wonder if Calloway was his eyewitness. Steve Thomas

I can finally rest easy tonight. I don’t have to be a conspiracy freak or a lone nutter, because JFK didn’t die in the first place. I just have to get me one of them thar med beds “Some QAnon sects have made med beds central to their conspiratorial claims. A Dallas-based group, which follows the Q influencer Michael “Negative 48” Protzman, has promoted med beds, in part because the devices address a plot hole in another conspiracy theory. The group falsely believes that John F. Kennedy is still alive and youthful, and attributes his remarkable longevity to the curative powers of med beds.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-qanon-conspiracy-involves-a-magical-bed-for-zombie-jfk The queen of Canada swears by them.

Jim, I know that a wallet was "found" at 10th and Patton, but was a second Oswald "seen" at 10th and Patton? Could this be the person that the Dispatcher said was last seen running north on Patton? 1:34 PM 1283. 550: ...and work to North Jefferson. We've got a witness that seen him go north... 1:44 PM 1354. 87: 87. What was the last location anybody had on that suspect out in here in Oak Cliff. 1355. DIS: Running north on Patton. Steve Thomas

I read a guy yesterday who said that Marjorie Taylor Greene needs to be ousted from office; not because she committed treason, but because she can't remember the last two years. MTG says CNN lies about her all the time and twists her words all around. If she can't remember what she said, how does she know CNN is twisting her words? Can't have it both ways Margie.

By their smell shall ye know them. Hucksters Profit Off Nutty ‘Venom Theory" http://https://www.thedailybeast.com/hucksters-profit-off-nutty-venom-in-the-water-theory?ref=home " "Last week, far-right conspiracy theory communities went wild for a quasi-documentary produced by fringe online talk show host and former bounty hunter Stew Peters. The video, entitled “Watch the Water” after a QAnon catchphrase, features Peters interviewing retired chiropractor Bryan Ardis about his theory that the CDC planted king cobra venom in Covid-19 vaccines and the water supply in order to transfer Satanic DNA to unsuspecting people." Some of the more strident among the true believers have taken this to the next level. They have stopped taking showers. Steve Tho as

https://www.rawstory.com/oklahoma-corporate-welfare-kevin-stitt/ Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, just returned from a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago with a request for his state legislature to dole out cash for a corporation he desperately wants to lure to the state. Not only did he ask for the money for the undisclosed company, but the legislature also did it without even releasing the bill to the public. "So, after going to the fundraiser in Florida, Stitt came back with the idea for a rebate program to bring a company he won't disclose to the state and create 4,000 jobs. State leaders have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements about the plan, which is called "Project Ocean." Kansas has a bid for Panasonic, offering $1.2 billion in incentives. At a press conference Monday, Stitt said he signed a non-disclosure agreement preventing him from saying the name Still, with nothing to go on, Stitt wanted the GOP-led legislature to pass an economic incentive of the company or revealing anything about the job possibilities and financials of the project. package for the company, with details to come later. The legislature did it, offering at least $3.6 billion for 500 direct jobs and at least 1,000 in the second year, 2,500 in the third year and 4,000 in the fifth year. That's $900,000 per job that Oklahoma is offering to pay the company. Oklahoma’s House Bill 3994 would prohibit sales of Tesla cars in Oklahoma because they don't use franchise dealerships the way others do. The company sells direct to the consumers. So, essentially, if the company is Panasonic, Oklahoma would pay $3.6 billion to a company to make batteries in the state for cars that the state's people can't even buy." Steve Thomas

What is the War in Ukraine? It's a Holy War! Just ask Russia. "During Friday’s edition of the program The Big Game on Channel One, deputy of the State Duma Vyacheslav Nikonov claimed: “In the modern world, we are the embodiment of the forces of good. This is a metaphysical clash between the forces of good and evil... We’re on the side of good against absolute evil, represented by the Ukrainian nationalist battalions... and the American temple of Satan, located in Salem, expressed its support for Ukraine. This is truly a holy war, a holy war we’re waging and we must win.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-propaganda-turns-to-lord-of-the-rings-to-stir-ukraine-hatred?ref=home Steve Thomas

One of the things that I find fascinating, is that of the five guys who rode with Oswald back downtown, none of them were from Homicide. K.E. Lyon. Patrolman. Second Platoon Patrol Division Headquarters Station 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM shift. Page 8 of Batchekor’s Exhibit 5002 https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf On a TDA (Temporary Duty Assignment) to the Special Service Bureau, but does not appear on Batchelor’s Exhibit page 4.

Where's Homicide? You've caught the prime suspect in a Police shooting... Where's Homicide? They're all back downtown interviewing witnesses in Dealey Plaza and the Depository. What about Tippit? Was there something hinky about Tippit's shooting that made Fritz want to steer clear? Or is it something more benign than that? Look at the Detectives in the Homicide Bureau and think about the roles they played in this investigation: The only one I can think of is Leavelle, and what did he do? Interview Helen Markham? Big deal. Steve Thomas

Jim, Thanks for this. It was fascinating. I;m a little pressed for time right now, but I'll dig into this a little deeper later. I did have a couple of quick observations: 1) Which version of the DPD Dispatch Tapes did this version come from? Which version are you using? 2) 531 is not Sgt. Owens. 19 is Owens. 531 is Dispatcher Henslee (I think his initials are J.D Henslee). 3) I don't know why Gerald Hill was assigned call# 550/2. Maybe because he and Westbrook were both in Personnel? 4) Look at the signature at the bottom. Do you have the ability to blow up an image, or part of an image? It looks like it's been typed over. 5) It looks like the version you are using is one of the earlier versions. The DPD provided a copy to the WC, and the WC was not happy. Nobody was identified, and I not sure if times were provided. Someone had to go back in and hand-write who these people on the tapes were. Notice how they're all written in in pencil. There are at least 3 versions of the Tapes that I know of. The first version is in CD 87. This is the version that went through Charles Lumpkin and was given to the Secret Service. I like to use the version that is in CE 1974. a) Commission Document 87 - Secret Service report of 08 Jan 1964 re: Oswald https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10490#relPageId=637&tab=page Secret Service Copy CD 87 Went through Deputy Chief Charles Lumpkin (Dallas Police Department starts at page 637) b) FBI Copy CE 705 Went through Inspector Herbert Sawyer (Starts at page 390) Warren Commission Hearings Volume XVII Current Section: CE 705 - Radio log of channel 1 of the Dallas Police Department for November 22, 1963. .https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1134#relPageId=416 c) CE 1974 Warren Commission Hearings, Volume XXIII Current Section: CE 1974 - FBI report dated August 11, 1964, at Dallas, Tex., of transcripts of Dallas police radio transmissions covering ... (starting at page 832) (Commissioned by the Warren Commissio in July, 1964. Identifies the callers) https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1139#relPageId=864 The copy I used to use is a Word document copy found on the McAdams web site. I liked the Word document copy because I could copy and paste. The Web site said, “The basis for these audio clips is an especially high-quality recording of the Dallas Police transmissions discovered by David Dix in the Minneapolis Public Library. Copies of this tape are available for sale. The transcript of Channel One is based on a transcript edited by Russ Shearer, and the transcript for Channel Two is from Warren Commission Exhibit 1974 (with some minor revisions).” Unfortunately, this copy was taken down and no longer seems to be available . I pretty much use this version now. I think it;s a copy of CE 1974. https://www.billdrenas.com/articles/dpd01-00.pdf Steve Thomas

‘There Is Such Fu**ery Going on Here’: Russian Soldiers ‘Revolting’ as They Get Stiffed on Ukraine Payouts "Putin says he’s proud of his “noble” war against Ukraine, but his soldiers there say it’s such a mess “entire battalions are starting revolts.”" http://https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-soldiers-revolting-as-they-get-stiffed-on-ukraine-payouts-according-to-intercepted-calls http://https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-soldiers-revolting-as-they-get-stiffed-on-ukraine-payouts-according-to-intercepted-calls?ref=scroll "Russian soldiers in Ukraine are said to be “dumping their stuff” and leaving after the military leadership stiffed them on special pay they were promised. In audio released by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, a man purported to be a Russian soldier is told by a woman back home to “limp” so that he’ll be rotated out. He says military leadership has promised “enormous cash payments,” but goes on to complain that “they say things here and then don’t fulfill a damn thing.” “Everyone is outraged, entire battalions are starting revolts. The commanders promise us that they are giving us their word,” he said. In another chat said to be between a Russian soldier and his mother, he said the troops are getting fed up because they aren’t getting the payouts they were offered to serve. “There is such fu**ery going on here, I’m telling you, 600 people have resigned from our brigade throughout this time, well about that much, give or take. Everyone is going home, they are just dumping their stuff and saying, ‘I’m going home’ and then leaving,’” he said." Steve Thomas

US food supply is being disrupted by Greg Abbott’s delivery trucks battle at Texas border: White House by Sarah K. Burris April 13, 2022 https://www.rawstory.com/greg-abbott-food-supply/ “A long trail of delivery trucks are backed up at the U.S.-Mexico border because the Texas governor is refusing to allow them to come into the United States without additional inspections by the Texas state troopers. Typically it's the federal government that inspects trucks. The decision is creating a massive backup at the border.” “The Texas Tribune reported this week that the busiest trade crossing, the bridge connecting Pharr and Reynosa is the choke point. On the border Monday, the trucks were backed up for miles. It was the fifth day in a row they were dealing with the blockage. As a result, producer importers canceled orders. “ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade “A blockade is the act of actively preventing a country or region from receiving or sending out food, supplies, weapons, or communications, and sometimes people, by military force. A blockade differs from an embargo or sanction, which are legal barriers to trade rather than physical barriers. It is also distinct from a siege in that a blockade is usually directed at an entire country or region, rather than a fortress or city and the objective may not always be to conquer the area. A blockading power can seek to cut off all maritime transport from and to the blockaded country; although stopping all land transport to and from an area may also be considered a blockade. Blockades restrict the trading rights of neutrals, who must submit for inspection for contraband, which the blockading power may define narrowly or broadly, sometimes including food and medicine. In the 20th century, air power has also been used to enhance the effectiveness of the blockade by halting air traffic within the blockaded airspace.” Should Texas be considered a hostile power?

'More insane than usual' QAnon 'documentary' claims vaccines will transfer Satan's DNA into your blood by Brad Reed April 12, 2022 https://www.rawstory.com/qanon-2657144627/ “A new QAnon "documentary" out this week is pushing a new conspiracy theory about COVID-19 vaccines that NBC News reporter Ben Collins describes as "more insane than usual." According to Collins, the documentary is called "Watch the Water" and it's currently "blowing up among anti-vaxxers." The documentary posits that the vaccines contain a mixture of magnets and snake venom with the goal of transferring "Satan's DNA" into human bodies.” Me? I’m not getting vaccinated. Nope. Uh-uh. No way. No how. Not me. Nope.Never. It’s the magnets. *shiver* Steve Thomas
