This is a short worthwhile read: “The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a Persian poetry collection first put together in 1460 in Shiraz. It consists of quatrains, four-line poems, with a set of unconventional themes. The poetry is irreligious and questions the afterlife and God’s providence. It shows keen awareness of the shortness of life and the finality of death. It advises therefore that every fleeting moment of every day should be savored, with wine, lovers and song. The combination of a serious philosophy of life and a carefree attitude has made the poetry popular for centuries. In 1859, Edward FitzGerald brought out a loose English translation that took the world by storm. It became the most beloved and widely known poem in the English language for decades until its popularity finally faded in the late twentieth century. Although they were attributed to the great mathematician and astronomer, Omar Khayyam (d. 1131), the poems were by many anonymous hands, and he was just a frame author, akin to Scheherezade in the Arabian Nights.” – Dr. Juan Cole, Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan

What does Trump mean here? Did he plant a Russian spy within the Defense Department that has been leaking our most vital national security secrets to Putin? Does Russian think it could start WWWIII by attacking America knowing that the secrets given to it will assure its victory?

Was double-agent Richard Case Nagell the most important witness (other than Oswald) of the JFK? CIA chief Tracy Barnes, who worked under Ted Shackley at JMWAVE, handled Nagell’s development and sent him to New Orleans in the summer of 1963 to monitor a group of Cuban exiles plotting against Castro. There Nagell befriended a man named Lee Oswald whom he knew previously from contact in the Far East. Nagell said the conspirators believed that if they set up Oswald as the villain, the murder would result in a full-scale war against Cuba. As part of his double agency status, Nagell informed his Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) contact in Mexico City, who ordered him to warn the patsy, and stop the assassination plot if necessary by “killing Oswald.” This information and details of the plot were relayed to the CIA and select individuals in the FBI, but Nagell claimed both departments buried the file and ordered him to remain silent. It was the KGB — not the CIA or FBI — that attempted to prevent the murder of President Kennedy. After all, Russia would be the big loser in the affair. The Assassination Records Review Board thought Nagell important enough to call him as a witness but 24 hours later on November 1, 1995 Nagell was found dead in his apartment in the Echo Park section of L.A. Cause of death; heart attack. The ARRB wanted to know more about documentation found in the trunk of Nagell’s car in September 1963 that listed several CIA employees by their real names. David Atlee Phillips and James McCord had also been cited in cryptic comments by Nagell as having played some role in the CIA’s relationship with Oswald. LBJ knew all about Nagell and the FBI and Secret Service interrogated Nagell on several occasions after the assassination but no mention is made of him in the Warren Commission’s 26 volumes.

Mr. Swanson in his first segment focuses on the party at the Murchison mansion in Dallas on November 21, 1963. He states based on LBJ's daily diary collection, "LBJ got to his [Forth Worth hotel] room at 11:30. He wasn’t in Dallas that night, so he couldn’t have been at an “assassination party” in that city on November 21, 1963." Apparently, Mr. Swanson believes that if LBJ were at the party, he would have entered the event in his daily diary. Really? Let's examine his thesis. The distance beteem Fort Worth and Dallas is 32.5 miles. Today it takes 36 minutes to drive it. The Dallas-Fort Worth population in 1963 was 1.6 million. Today it is 6.5 million. Driving from Fort Worth to Dallas in 1963 would have been quicker than today. In 1993 Lyle Sardie released his historical video, LBJ: A Closer Look, in which he interviews key persons in Texas who knew about the real LBJ, including myself in my capacity as attorney for Billie Sol Estes when he sought immunity in 1984 from the U.S. Department of Justice to tell what he knew about LBJ's crimes. I have a copy of the original VHS video in which Madeline Brown, LBJ's mistress, is interviewed. She says that LBJ arrived late at the party and immediately went into a room for a meeting with several of the men at the party. She describes how he looked after he came out when he told her, "After tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise." This appears at the end of part 7 and continues into part 8 and can be found here: LBJ: A Closer Look: A (Mostly) Brilliant Classic Video – LBJ: Master of Deceit (lbjthemasterofdeceit.com).
