Spain could need bigger bailout Investors are sceptical the €100bn bailout of Spanish banks will end the crisis – and Spain cannot afford to pay 6.5% on its debts ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2012/jun/11/spain-heading-bigger-bailout-investors

Larry, the bit about Highway Patrol as a military force made me think broader of the KBI, the JBS,the Southern Intelligence Network put together by the Southern States with MSC type State Organisations, not forgetting that the LSC was organisationally a centre, nor their relationship with the various Citizens Councils. One may argue they were an alternative Government with all the Departments necessary.

Just on Birdsong. (Lots of interesting stuff in your post to ponder) for now: bird9 bird8 bird7 bird6 bird5 bird4 bird3 bird2 birdsong1

I think it's a bit simplistic to call any particular aspect systemic, particularly when it is an analysis by parts of the 'system'. ------------ That seems to me one of the most pertinent posts for a long time, Douglas. I think my rather shambling topic on FIAT finds something of a synthesis here. Of course, to me, it begs the question of what fundamentally is the problem and the solution. Interesting that War is hypothesised as an outcome. It has always intrigued me that the economy forges ahead as if all is on track which indicates to me that the 'correction' is already 'written' and it is not one that is in the interest of humanity but profit seekers that indentured wage slaves will be forced to solve with their meager resources and ultimately lives. For now it is sufficient for the 1% to focus on the rest to keep their (misplaced) faith in the 1% (which ultimately is FIAT, money, debt (and ruin)) by propaganda and force.

Thank you, Larry. I find the MilInt angle an interesting one. I note there have been a number of posts on this re JFK lately. I look forward to reading more. Interesting comment on Angleton. ------------- re Dulles. His role in ccivil rights is a bit obscure. It seems to me he had a prior relationship with segregationists (MSC Files) and was sent by Johnson to oversee matters in Mississippi re M#. In the MSC files there are a number of documents about distrust of the FBI while various ex FBI members (incl. Zack Van Landringham, ex Hoover assistant) were MSC investigators. ------------ Do you know what happened to Mississippi Highway Patrol Col. Birdsong?

Did they? Did Molina? Where's the list?

The Cuban people are not stupid. How could any reasonable person think that with a history like Oswalds he would get in to Cuba. So Oswald is stupid.? Does anyone have an opinion of what Oswald himself wrote about the MinuteMen. If anyone has read it, Isn't that enough of a hook for people wanting to use him?

Thanks for that Larry. I'd like to know more about this AGOG. Caan you tell more or link to where the best source of info to it is. please? The second part of the post is a bar graph I put together some years ago out of the info I could find. The point being to see clearly what the focus of COINTELPRO in toto was. I find the disparities being the context in which to evaluate the weight of FBI efforts. People like Government officials and Gen Walker publibly offereing support to Beckwith and the likelyhood of the MSC keeping tabs on the M3 and feeding that info to their killers who included law officers is just one example of the wideranging systemic nature of the expression of racism. Imo it is absolutely correct ''...and so it goes on and on.''. Have you looked in to Allen Dulles role in this?

Conflicted after resigning???

Doesn't this belong in the Sandbox Forum?

http://www.johnpilger.com/articles/the-leveson-inquiry-into-the-british-press-oh-what-a-lovely-game The Leveson Inquiry into the British press - oh, what a lovely game 31 May 2012 Rupert Murdoch is a bad man. His son James is also bad. Rebekah Brooks is allegedly bad. The News of the World was very bad; it hacked phones and pilloried people. British prime ministers grovelled before this iniquity. David Cameron even sent text messages to Brooks signed "LOL", and they all had parties in the Cotswolds with Jeremy Clarkson. Nods and winks were duly exchanged on the BSkyB deal. Shock, horror. Offering glimpses of the power and petty gangsterism of the British tabloid press, the inquiry conducted by Lord Leveson has, I suspect, shocked few people. As the soap has rolled on, bemusement has given way to boredom. Tony Blair was allowed to whine about the Daily Mail's treatment of his wife until he and the inquiry's amoral smugness protecting him were exposed by a member of the public, David Lawley-Wakelin, who shouted, "Excuse me, this man should be arrested for war crimes." His Lordship duly apologised to the war criminal and the truth-teller was seen off. Why Murdoch should complain about the British establishment has always mystified me. His interrogation, if that is the word, by Robert Jay QC, was a series of verbal marshmallows that Murdoch promptly spat out. When he described one of his own rambling, self-satisfied questions as "subtle", Jay received this deft dismissal from Murdoch: "I'm afraid I don't have much subtlety in me." As the theatre critic Michael Billington reminded us recently, it was in the Spectator in 1955 that Henry Fairlie coined the term "the establishment", defining it as "the matrix of official and social relations within which power in Britain is exercised". For most of my career as a journalist, Murdoch has been an influential and admired member of this club: even a mentor to many of those now casting him as a "bad apple". His deeply cynical mantra, "I'm only giving the public what they want", was echoed by journalists and broadcasters as they lined up to dumb down their work and embrace the propaganda of corporatism that followed Murdoch's bloody move to Wapping in 1986. More than 5,000 men and women were sacked, and countless families destroyed and suicides committed; and Murdoch could not have got away with it had Margaret Thatcher and the Metropolitan Police not given him total, often secret support, and journalists not lain face down on the floors of buses that drove perilously through the picket lines of their former, principled colleagues. Cheering him on, if discreetly, were those now running what Max Hastings has called the "new establishment": the media's managerial middle class, often liberal to a fault, that was later to fall at the feet of Murdoch's man Blair, the future war criminal, whose election as prime minister was celebrated in the Guardian with: "Few now sang England Arise, but England has risen all the same." Leveson has asked nothing about how the respectable media complemented the Murdoch press in systematically promoting corrupt, mendacious, often violent political power whose crimes make phone-hacking barely a misdemeanour. The Leveson inquiry is a club matter, in which a member has caused such extraordinary public embarrassment he must be black-balled, so that nothing changes. What jolly fun to hear Jeremy Paxman grass on Piers Morgan who, he gossiped, described to him how to hack phones. Paxman was asked nothing by Jay about the essential role of the BBC and its leading lights as state propagandists for illegal wars that have killed, maimed and dispossessed millions. How ironic that the lunch Paxman attended at the Daily Mirror appears to have been in 2002 when the Mirror, edited by Morgan, was the only Fleet Street newspaper uncompromisingly opposed to the coming invasion of Iraq: thus reflecting the wishes of the majority of the British public. And what a wheeze it was to hear from the clubbable Andrew Marr, the BBC's ubiquitous voice: he of the super-injunction. Just as Murdoch's Sun declared in 1995 that it shared the rising Blair's "high moral values", so Marr, writing in the Observer in 1999, lauded the new prime minister's "substantial moral courage". What impressed Marr was Blair's "utter lack of cynicism", along with his bombing of Yugoslavia which would "save lives". By March 2003, Marr was the BBC's political editor. Standing in Downing Street on the night of the assault on Iraq, he rejoiced at the vindication of Blair who, he said, had promised "to take Baghdad without a bloodbath". The diametric opposite was true. In hawking his self-serving book in 2010, Blair selected Marr for his "exclusive TV interview". During their convivial encounter they discussed an attack on Iran, the country Hillary Clinton once said she was prepared to "obliterate". In the text messages disclosed by Leveson between Murdoch lobbyist Frederic Michel and Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, there is this one from Michel: "Very good on Marr as always". In a cable leaked to WikiLeaks, the US embassy in London urged Hillary Clinton to be interviewed by the "congenial" Marr because he often "sets the political agenda for the nation" and "will offer maximum impact for your investment of time". Inquisitor Jay showed no interest. When Alastair Campbell "gave evidence", Jay waved a copy of Blair's A Journey and quoted Blair's view of his chief collaborator as "a genius". "Sweet," responded Campbell. "And with great clunking balls as well," continued Jay QC, awaiting the laughter. The silence of 780,000 Iraqi widows was a presence. Not a single opponent of the institutional power of the media has been called by Leveson, though farce is welcomed. Richard Desmond, who owns the Daily Express and a section of the British porn industry, during his appearance damned the Daily Mail as "Britain's worst enemy" and said the Press Complaints Commission "hated our guts". Shock, horror. Or just sweet.

I don't think it M3 (diitto Evers, Till) was 'fully rooted out' nor successfully prosecuted nor the various body parts found during the search fully explored. re cointelpro

That's great, James. That's what I particularly applaud in your approach. I'm certainly continually learning. Thank you. I'm following it with interest. One site that might be interesting is the armymil gov site on wound ballistics. It's replete with tests and photos and very fast films and xrays of varius materials being atruck by various missiles at various speeds. Other parts go into battle field wounds.

O U R A M E R I C A Havana. June 1, 2012 BANK OF THE SOUTH Options for confronting the crisis Mario Esquivel THE Bank of the South, an initiative launched in December 2007 by seven South American countries, can be described today as a viable and real alternative to face the onslaughts of the international financial crisis. T. The mission of the institution, designed as an alternative to multilaterals of the stature of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), is to promote activities to strengthen economic integration. In this context, the ratification of the Bank of the South’s constitutional agreement by five of its members (Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay), paved the way for its physical creation. It is expected that a similar step will be taken by the Paraguayan and Brazilian Parliaments. The first meeting of the Bank of the South’s Council of Ministers, the body responsible for moving forward the new financial entity’s operational activities, is planned to take place shortly. With its headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela, the Bank of the South has two branch offices in Buenos Aires and La Paz, and an initial capital of seven billion dollars. This sum is to be contributed in accordance with economic strength; Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela are providing six billion dollars (two billion each). Ecuador and Uruguay are depositing $400 million each, while Paraguay and Bolivia will both add $100 million. Experts say that the bank’s funds could reach $20 billion, taking into account its members’ potential and the strength of Brazil, among the world elite given its international hard currency reserves of $359 billion. An innovative element in the constitution is that each member has the right to a vote, at a far remove from existing distortions in the World Bank, where – for example – one single country (the U.S.) holds 16.3% of the total votes, and in contrast, 24 African nations jointly hold 2.85%. According to Nobel Economy Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, the advantages of a project of this kind include the capacity of reflecting the perspectives of the South. The Bank of the South also provides the conditions to create a new regional financial architecture, capable of promoting development projects of a social nature in order to overcome poverty. The activation of the Bank of the South is arriving at an opportune moment, given that Latin America and the Caribbean are faced with the possibility of a downturn in the region’s rate of economic expansion within an unfavorable scenario. Uncertainty, volatility and deceleration are characteristic terms of forecasts for the current period, in which estimates point to an increase of 3.7% in the region’s GDP, as opposed to the 4.3% growth in 2011. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean has stated that pressure on the world economy and turbulence in international financial markets will have an impact on the area’s development.

C U B A Havana. June 1, 2012 LASA Congress calls for the release of the Five CALIFORNIA,— Academics from various countries joined forces with others in the United States calling for the release of the Cuban Five, unjustly tried and convicted in U.S. courts for monitoring anti-Cuban terrorist groups in Miami. Participants in the 30th Congress of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) held an event here in solidarity with Cuba, and in opposition to the blockade, which was attended by an additional 300 people. The meeting was convened by the National Committee to Free the Five, led by Gloria la Riva. During his closing remarks, Cuban intellectual Miguel Barnet emphasized the importance of ongoing work in support of Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio and Fernando, who have been serving outrageous sentences since 1998 when they were convicted for informing their country of plans hatched by terrorist anti-Cuban groups based in South Florida. René González has completed his sentence but has been forced to remain in U.S. territory for an additional three years of probation. During the encounter, Cuban academics Camila Piñera and Juan Luis Martín addressed aspects of Cuba’s current reality, including the updating of the country’s economic model underway. In a statement to Prensa Latina, Barnet emphasized as significant the participation of representatives from practically all regions of the United States. - MIAMI 5 PRINT THIS ARTICLE

Okay, Thanks John. I have to admit I'm confused. Your .gif seems to show Hill lunging forward, he goes up, gets at least one foot on the rear bumper and at least one hand on the handrail but does not get the leverage he wanted to, and tries again, keeps his hand on the hand rail and pulls himself up and onto the rear of the presidential limousine. So, I'm wondering why Wrone wrote that. By the way, it's chapter 3, not 4, page 47. And he cites a letter from Hoover to Rankin, June 22, 1964. Serial 62-109060-3540. Well, technicaslly he's right. It doesn't show the foot slip off while clearly providing sync points to other films that reinforce the interpretation that Hill does make two stepons in Zap. I guess, iow, it reinforces the idea that the zap film as kknown is authentic though of course there are obvious missing frames and odd splices. (I still think the head area in 324 is odd).

Damage that Humes seems to refer to is perhaps better understood by considering the wobbly pulsing tube of force as a bullet passes through tissue It can be narrow in sections and quiote bulged in others so the damage left behind maay be a wedge with a bulge hence the use of diameter and wedge. The lungs anterior posterior damage pattern if available may be useful. edittypo

1 June 2012 Last updated at 04:47 GMT Share this page FDA goes to court to secure drugs for lethal injections By Matt McGrath Science reporter, BBC World Service The US Food and Drug Administration is going to court to secure supplies of a drug used in lethal injections. Sodium thiopental is used in many states to anaesthetise prisoners before the administration of other chemicals that extinguish life. However supplies have dwindled in the US after a judge banned its importation in March. Campaigners against the death penalty say the restrictions have forced a slowdown in the rate of executions. The last US manufacturer of sodium thiopental ceased production in 2009. Since then the drug has been imported mainly from companies within the European Union. Several states purchased supplies from a UK based firm called Dream Pharma, run from a driving school in west London. But these companies have in turn stopped delivering to the US as the European Union cracked down on the export of medicines that can be used in executions. Legal confusion ........
