    what a dishonest response. I'm not going to bother looking through your umpteen posts, but you know what you said - That Hoover and Dulles were heroes who made a conscious choice not to uncover the conspiracy they knew existed because they wanted to prevent a 'civil war' with the far right, Edwin Walker and company. So I'll ask again - does the Trump victory and the resurgence of the far right give you pause? And cut the crap about lefties and our inability to see clearly, or our unwillingness to see JFK as he was. You clearly don't know who he was, and are too blinded by your own ideology to read his words and see him as Progressive. You are just joining ranks with the revisionists who don't want us to remember. Which always leads me to the big question - why are you even here? Why do you care?

  2. Paul T - While you engage with DVP, who it seems has not seen your theory here before, perhaps you could answer a question that's been on my mind. As a preface, you have stated numerous times that the reason WC/FBI covered up the truth and did not go after Walker and the radical right was in order to prevent civil conflict. Of course you know I find this ridiculous. But considering for a moment that you are right, and that, in your words, Hoover and Dulles were heroes who made the wise decision not to go after the perpetrators because they thought that a bloody internal conflict would ensue, would today's extreme rightward move make you rethink the wisdom of Hoover, Dulles, et al's decision? Has this question occurred to you before now?

  3. Jim - Thanks for always setting the record straight. I experienced it personally a few years ago when you corrected me here when I expressed my opinion that Mary Pinchot and LSD changed JFK (it may have anyway, but he was already the progressive you consistently show him to be). 

    Every MLK day I tune in to KPFA. The station has a remarkable and deep archive from which they draw on days like this. Today was no exception. I heard a speech delivered in Hollywood a few weeks before he was murdered, in which he makes clear that racism and poverty were inseparable, and that the Vietnam War was an evil that needed to be brought to an end. He articulated his plan to bring his movement to DC for at least 60 days to bring the the nation's and the world's attention to these truths. As always, I am brought to tears at some point when I listen to him. What a difference between his  deep soulful words and by contrast the high sounding but somewhat empty rhetoric of President Obama. What does the 'audacity of hope' mean anyway? Why the cheers? I'll give Obama his due, but just saying...

    i was fortunate indeed that my parents brought be to DC for the 1963 march. It changed me forever. 

     

  4. Lance - I might be the only person here besides you who owns that book. I too did a lot of research into UFO phenomena, and like you found the author to be beyond the pale. I worked on UFO trading cards, but you won't find my name on the box because my ex wife wanted to finish the product herself, which she did. I am not a doubter that something real is happening, but I don't pretend to know what is happening. My inclination is that they are of this earth. I am reminded of the X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully are observing an abduction when suddenly another, far taller 'alien' appears and the two grays react in total surprise and are heard speaking English. Another episode finds Mulder in a far away jail cell, and in the adjoining cell a gray sits smoking a cigarette. 

    Doig - with all due respect that video is way out there. Yes I watched the whole thing out of curiosity. I agree with David on this one.

  5. Trump may be forced to choose between his business empire and the presidency. I think he would choose the latter in that case.

    Has anyone read the so called dossier that Buzzfeed published? I tried to post it but couldn't figure out how. There may be planted falsehoods in it designed to discredit the whole, but my bet is that much of it is true. The 'Golden shower' seems far fetched. Ron Reagan said that Trump's inability to say anything bad about Putin is a 'tell'. Love that choice of word.
