  1. Thank you, W! That explains a lot! JFK's Grandson is doing a number of comedy skits poking fun at his cousin RK's candidacy. If you open one of the links, you can scroll down and see all of his skits. Using Cartoonish Accents, J.F.K.’s Grandson Insults and Mocks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In an escalation of the family feud, the son of Caroline Kennedy portrayed heavily accented characters who suggested that his cousin, the presidential candidate, was on steroids, not too smart and a liar. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/politics/rfk-jr-jack-schlossberg.html?algo=editorial_importance_fy_email_news&block=4&campaign_id=142&emc=edit_fory_20240508&fellback=false&imp_id=389947991292497&instance_id=122755&nl=for-you&nlid=61798350&pool=fye-top-news-ls&rank=1&regi_id=61798350&req_id=4152365644874749&segment_id=166041&surface=for-you-email-news&user_id=48552702f942aacb0810b9de5ca41c55&variant=0_edimp_fye_news_dedupe
  2. W. That sucks!, First Thomas, and then this. Didn't we also hear something about Gorsuch? . And now Canon postpones the documents case indefinitely. But that case didn't begin until 2022. Did anyone think the Georgia case with the smoking gun recording. and the 1/6 riots and Trumps other attempts to throw the 2020 election would not even come to court until after the 2024 election? Appointing someone as a head cop of the nation shouldn't have been a payback for being passed by as a Supreme Court Justice. As far as Trump's Federal charges. Garland was so concerned about not singling out Trump, he dragged his feet for 2 years before finally appointing Jack Smith! What was he thinking? You know the Republicans wouldn't have apologized at all for going after Biden!. Look at the sham the House Republicans tried to perpetuate with their Federal overreach/ Hunter Biden scam? I remember when the House Committee was making good public headway in their 1/6 investigation, there was talk that the DOJ was requesting some of Committee's research materials. That's ass backwards! The primary job of the House is to legislate, not investigate crimes. And outside of the 1/6 committee, they are usually embarrassingly bad at it. Investigating crime is the job of the DOJ! You'd think that they would be far ahead of the House in every aspect of their investigation. I am venting. It looks like the only legal judgment we're going to get on Trump before the election could be this hush money trial. But some independent voters could look at some of today's action with Stormy Daniels recounting details of her escapade with Trump as just being designed to drag Trump through the mud. We might catch a break before the election if the jury convicts Trump and that will be another good judgment in a lesser case against Trump. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was turned over in appeal, but thankfully after the election.
  3. Yeah, but obviously their intelligence gathering has taken a serious blow. American intelligence has reigned supreme in policy concerning subservience to Israel but I think the American public is starting to realize America' is really playing the role of a battered housewife! Do you realize we've been spreading the fear of Iraq's nuclear capability for now 35 years? Yes it has been! Yes it has, the Iraq Joint Plan of Action under Obama and Kerry. I was in favor of that and I think we'd be in a much better position right now if Biden hadn't jettisoned it. I know CNN and even more MSNBC was once in favor of that, but they don't talk about that now! Kirk:what did Israel do? Bomb an Embassy in Syria to try to lure Iran into a regional war! And of course our entire media just reports it as if it was justified! That's just the first sentence in response you'd hear from CNN, Fox and MSNBC! I said "Bomb an Embassy in Syria" but apparently you don't know. They bombed the Iranian Embassy in Syria! A completely unprovoked attack directly on Iran! So playing up "Iran's direct attack on Syria "completely leaves out they were being bullied and felt they had to come up with some tactile ineffective response to save face. As I said in an earlier post. Though you won't hear it on MSNBC. And that's what I meant when I said " the entire media just reports it as if it's justified!" But in reality, it's just Israel bullying!
  4. About the plausibility of pulling the coverup off, that's a good point!, I suppose that's a talking point the top down LBJ- did -it can embrace. But let's face it, either way, if the coverup was planned before the assassination or just winging it after the assassination, it was a Herculean task. How were they going to have any certainty of success of convincing the public there wasn't a conspiracy? But there is a plausible deniability by virtue of the fact that the Katzenbach memo is probably the tack a lot of governments would have taken if there was at first a genuine suspicion of foreign involvement and it became uncertain that they may never get to the bottom of it in a desired timely fashion, and so that a partial government coverup in itself doesn't point directly at LBJ.
  5. Sounds timely. I'm sure it will be used for propaganda purposes to just further divide our peoples. But I'm sure they'll appreciate our candor. Since Jim has always been such an U.S. MSM expert. Maybe Jim if asked to go to Moscow, can embark on his own project and report in kind on the variety of investigative journalist films about the Russian government corruption there. Maybe ask to see the great plethora of Russian films made about the purges of Stalin. or films from present day anti Putin activists. As a travel tip, I might suggest declining the isolated Maga Dacha offered him and get out and see for himself what's going on. And that doesn't mean going to Tucker's high end expensive Moscow grocery store, but maybe he can surreptitiously get out of Moscow into the countryside and see how the people live out there. heh heh
  6. Boy, nobody can get nastier to Trump than other Republicans, like the Lincoln Project. This is their newest. Trump is now selling diapers!
  7. ? How do we need them? This is your best point Sandy. Just like the Republicans were staunchly in favor of the Vietnam War in 1968. We could be going back to the Chicago Democratic Convention in 1968! One thing to realize is just as Trump (with unwitting help from Merrick Garland)has probably been successful obstructing the legal process of his major charges until after the election. Bibi wants to prolong the war knowing as long as the war goes on, he stays in office. Biden has to come up with a consensus plan of Arab states to give financial support to a 2 state solution and start to leverage that against Bibi and hope with world public opinion to drive a wedge in Israel public opinion among those who want peace who realize nothing would change in their lives as they never go to the Palestinian enclaves anyway. I often wonder about the wisdom of Biden giving them the Iron Dome. I suppose there was pressure behind the scenes. Unfortunately now we'd look like traitors to take it away. And with that new immunity, what did Israel do? Bomb an Embassy in Syria to try to lure Iran into a regional war! And of course our entire media just reports it as if it was justified!
  8. That's interesting, Kevin. I know she was debriefed by Helms upon coming back from Cuba. So you think she got wind of RFK assassinations plots of Castro and turned against him? Kevin: Keating (who initially made claims that the Soviets were placing missiles in Cuba) in the 1964 NY senate election? By "initially" you mean Keating made public statements as to the danger present prior to Oct. 1962?
  9. "Smoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer, But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high" Phil Ochs Outside of a small circle of friends. Hmmm, Looks like old Joe has still got a few teeth left in his head. He figures maybe he can pacify those students who are trying to appeal to his humanitarian instincts. ...... ok, forget I said that.
  10. Unfortunately this is the downside for having "Old man Joe" veteran of the Cold War. He sees everything in terms of 20th century alliances. As I said, I think for the first 3 months, there was not going to be much Biden could do, because he had to let the whole experience sink in to the Israeli public's mind. And obviously we weren't going to bring troops in. No one would want that. To continue arming the Israelis really ends up saying we have allegiance to only democracies (who right now are struggling and Israel is a severe case in point.) and screw the evil dictators which I'm in favor of. But it also says 'screw you too" to the unaligned world who are on neither side and primarily need to establish a more stable economic footing. The United States can't be seen as a major superpower that condones and finances a genocide of any people. The truth is, there is increasingly less high ground for extolling democracies as they can elect fascists as well, witness Netanyahu who has ruled Israel for 17 of the last 27 years! These perceptions have been breaking down. As for Biden suffering from loss of the youth vote. The type of voters who are protesting are aware enough to know that Trump's attitude toward the Israel Hamas war will be much worse. If Biden can't make any faster progress and continues being Bibi's re Bozo ( heh heh, a little Nixon reference!) the youth probably won't defect to Trump but Biden will suffer from low turnout. As much as I resent the importance of those purple states in our electoral process, he's not looking great in any of them and he needs them to win. Relief for the suffering is good, but he really has to stand up to Bibi in an unequivocal way. I'd say we're down 5-2 in the 6th inning. Also the economy is not going to help out. There's a 50-50 chance we're not even going to get a rate cut before the election. Even though 6 months ago the bond market was pricing in 5 rate cuts in 2024! The public does defer to the judgment of the business class about such matters, and no improvement, and less accessibility to lower mortgage rates is bad for Biden.
  11. I saw Duane Allman at Winterland a few of weeks before he died. Wish this was Kari Lake.
  12. So Robert, Not to be disparaging but I notice your LBJ/ Clark "Texcentric" narrative complete with Barr Mc Clellan and Madeleine Brown is straight down the line with Nigel Turner's retracted "Men who killed Kennedy" was it episode 9? Was that your first inspiration? I noticed it was around the same time as the retraction wasn't Barr Mac Clellan's son Scott GW's Press Secretary? No conspiracy, just an interesting fact.
  13. Opportunistically?, or desperately! Given that you think it was Pompeo. Then who holds all the cards here? Setting up a segment to out himself with Tucker that he revealed secret files to Tucker? Are you kidding? It would be political suicide for Pompeo to be caught revealing the JFK files to anyone! Do you think he wants that? What would end up happening to Tucker?, absolutely nothing! He did, and nothing has happened! Earlier, Pompeo could have conceivably been a hero to both the right and left, and to the reputation of the Trump Administration for "draining the swamp "if he came out before the deadline and said despite pressure from the Intelligence agencies, he's going on record as wanting the files released no matter what they say because now 60 years later, the public has a right to know. And that would be overwhelmingly popular with the public at large! But after refusing to open the files and winning the fight to not reveal the files. Answer me this. What would then be Pompeo's motive in speaking to Tucker about his summation of the files? If you believe this nonsense, then he missed his chance and then would be needlessly throwing his political career away!
