It's tempting, but I can't see it definitively. Aspects of the head appear to change in different frames - sometimes "Lee,." sometimes not - and it looks like a fuller head of hair, not just longer hair or windblown hair.

I dunno - the Turning Man looks too handsomely chiseled (hair included) to be LHO, but anything's possible given the angle and the medium. Looks like a Bond movie version of LHO, but I wish I could freeze the GIF and be sure,

Revolution No. 9 is a movie waiting to be cut to the soundtrack.

The White Album is infuriating because you want to cut it shorter, but you still can't come up with fewer than three sides. Even some of your least favorite repeat listening has become cultural staples, thanks to Beatle fame and the album-oriented FM radio of the past (remember that?) You start feeling guilty when you try to cut it on tape or CD-R. But how many times can you listen to Bungalow Bill, the least valuable souvenir of a passage to India? Apparently, forever.

I'm thinking Jenkins has an agent that got him on this Valuetainment show, alongside such spielers as Michael Franzese and the card mechanic. I'm thinking this Dallas-based infomercial is the best his agent could get him. See where Jenkins turns up next. It's possible he and his agent are fishing for a book deal.

Report post Did Jenkins possibly get, inadvertently, naively (?), exposure?

Another presentation of Valuetainment Studios in Dallas, TX. Keep your eye on the red queen. (RIP, RIcky Jay, beau jongleur). What Jenkins has is a hard-working agent:

Delete, please.

Wait - this Benny Hinn-wannabe is the guy who also interviews Michael Franzese for his MobFather infomercials. Do they play these shows on cable TV at 3:00 AM for shut-ins? Why does Jenkins' opinion on Lyndon Johnson matter? Interviewer: "That was the entire question I wanted to ask you today."

There is a link below to a good White Album site. In particular, open up each of the sub-tabs under the Songs tab. Some useful facts and Beatles quotes are within. What the blogger lacks in critical polish he makes up for with fresh observations and striking research. One of the things about the White Album is the number of songs that are parodies of non-rock songs or established rock genres; it's a small revelation, for instance, the way this blogger sees the cliched, over-the-top lyrics of Yer Blues as a parody of the British Heavy Blues genre that ended up invested with Lennon's own screaming pain. The White Album shows a band struggling to find its future after managerial loss, religious disillusionment, multiple creative influences (especially Dylan) and changing musical tastes. If the result drags in the assassination culture of the 1960s. we can't be surprised. I'm not sure, though, that one can establish a universal theory of what the album is "about," thematically, since one will find the kitchen sink tossed in also. But I'm looking forward to your thesis. "Y'know, I listen to the White Album and go, 'We should have had less of this and more of that,' just like the critics do. But, at the end of the day, it's the bloody Beatles' White Album. Shut up." -- My favorite McCartney quote, paraphrased. https://www.thewhitealbumproject.com/

Memory play tricks: there was no JFK funeral train. The account of how she saw JFK brought in is different in the two videos. Didn't earlier testimony by this lady inspire reports that a bullet was protruding from JFK's scalp near his ear?

I believe that the Marina of 1993 and perhaps of today is the classic example of someone who immerses herself in conspiracy books, conferences and discussions and, like most Americans, comes away thinking "Well, there simply HAD to be some sort of conspiracy." Oh, please, dude: Jack Ruby? What exactly was the occasion of Marina and her handler appearing on Cavett? Did Marina need the lousy $300 scale they were paying talk show guests? Or could it have had anything to do with the HSCA, still in operation that year?

See my post just above for the context of Marina's statement within the Enquirer article. The textual juxtaposition of being spied upon by "various spooks" (Enquirer-speak, not a Marina quote) with Lee maybe being in the same predicament (Marina paraphrase) leaves open whether only Lee, or Lee and Marina each, was "a double or triple agent" (Marina quote) because they were spied upon (Enquirer-speak). Is disinformation the intent of the quotation style in the Enquirer article? Remedial Reading help is not required here, just honest journalism. If someone has the Dick Russell book, it would be helpful to post the Marina quotation in full and original context.

Yes, I see that now. So it's old news trotted out for the gala 55th anniversary. Quotations from the Russell chapter were probably made under Fair Use, so nobody was interviewed or paid for this. The Enquirer pastiche reads: "She also believed she was caught up in the conspiracy, her phones were tapped and she was being watched by various spooks - who she even believed could murder her! " 'Maybe Lee was in the same kind of predicament - a double or triple agent - and he did not know who he was really serving,' said the Russian-born mother of three." Because of Enquirer style and ethics, we have no idea whose situation 'the same kind of predicament' refers to - anyone interested would have to read Russell to find out. The second Enquirer paragraph quoted barely seems to connect to the first. Hoo Noes?!

Joe - the National Enquirer pages are available through the link in Bart Kamp's post above in this thread. Save the pages to your desktop and view them larger in your picture viewer. NB that Enquirer quotation style is notoriously loose and suspect. I quoted with caveats. Who knows what she really said? By the time that the Enquirer spews something out, it's as veracious as a porn star's cognomen. Hoo Noes?!

The part where she offers the possibility that she (or Lee) may have been a triple agent in the US raises questions re: Angleton.

If accurate and in accurate context, an interesting Marina quotation in the NE article: "Maybe Lee was in the same kind of predicament [as I was] - a double or triple agent - and he did not know who he was really serving [.]"

Robert had a jailhouse conversation with Lee. Nobody imagines those to be "intimate." "Brother, you won't find the truth in there."

Please, somebody, read the book and prove or disprove the following statement: If something exists, there is porn of it.

Yes, some names have been changed, some dialogue recreated, and there is some conflation of characters and minor events. But the story is very real. Conflation of characters and minor events is ahistorical and borders on fictionalization. That's for "inspired by"-type moviemaking. THIS PART DIDN'T HAPPEN.

I'm reading the lengthy Amazon excerpt and...I dunno. That watch better carry a ballistic track back to the grassy knoll, with metallurgical evidence different from CE 399. And it better not have disappeared into some inaccessible vault. Can we find any history on the author's prosecution by the government? Update: not wild about the recreation of Love Field limo seating arrangements, nor the depiction of the assassination itself. Why is the watch evidence of a mercury round, but not JFK's jacket and shirt?

Delete. My mistake.

Seen this guy's stuff - he's the equivalent of a Mob televangelist. Note the brand logos on his clothing.

Well, I was glad for an opportunity to find more interesting podcasts in the MWN Archives, and to poke about in Don Jeffries' blog archives. His "Pizzagate" entry (found by accident) was provocative, if adequately researched.
