To the Owners of the Education Forum:
I would like to be considered for the position of moderator.
Would you please post the formal criteria for selection?
My C.V. is available upon request.
Sincerely,
Charles
Charles you can only be a moderator if we currently stock your size in hob nail jack boots. Special orders are out of the question....
Thank YOU
As an aside. I just envisioned Dopey Dwarf in Hob nailed jack boots, and almost wet my pants! Heres to you Kathy!

I think Charles would be a good moderator.
FWIW.
The contents of Charles' posts on this forum thus far suggests a man puffed up with self importance and the rather unsupported idea that he is some sort of intellectual. I therefore think he'd be an extremely poor moderator.
However I also believe the experience might do him some good and so will not stand in his way

In light of his flaunting of the rules and attacks on John, Evan, other moderators and me I can think no member less appropriate to be named a moderator than “Drago”.
I propose a compromise make Craig and "Drago" moderators

Oh wow! Seems you're really hell-bent on bringing this forum down in flames, aren't you?

Oh, have I struck a nerve by any chance, Lamson?
Come to think of it, I can understand what Colby's trying to put across. But, when he teams up with you it might as well be compared to that of a pack of junkyard dogs. Oh well...
A nerve? Clearly you jest. Your posts are like a mere pimple on an old woman's behind. The problem is you simple can't refute Len.
****************************************************
Hell, I'm just playing you along seeing as how you've always got to get the last word in, edge-wise. I can refute Colby any damned time I want, if it's all the same to you, but I have a day job that has a tendency to put a crimp in any all-out debate I may want to present. In any event, it's all been rehashed ad nauseum across the board here, as it is, from what I've been able to deduce.
It must be nice having nothing to do all day, but this. And, if you were such a highly intelligent, or halfway competent debater, you wouldn't even be wasting the bandwidth to answer this "pimple on an old woman's behind," now would you? Where's your pride? That's why I'll never take any of your ilk seriously. Really.

Much as it is tempting to respond in kind I won’t debase the forum by stooping to your level. I am not at all surprised you identify with Drago you are “flour from the same sack” as they say in Brazil – you inability to make a cogent argument in favor of your position is more than made up for by your vituperative tendency to insult and attack those who hold opposing viewpoints. How ironic that Jack who continuously complains of such attacks although he is rarely a victim of them applauded you.It seems that Barry Jennings didn't see dead bodies, etc. Seems that the Loose (with the truth) Change crowd decided to interpret things differently that Jennings intended. He stepped over people - not dead people, just people (probably awaiting movement to another area).
Barry Jennings WITHDREW his permission for the interview to be used because they (LC) were distorting the truth!
Actually in this case I'll side with Bemas and Avery he said "I could tell I was stepping over bodies" or words to that effect but now he is changing his story again. Was he intimidated as truthers claim or are his recolections of events that morning simply unreliable?

""I could tell I was stepping over bodies" or words to that effect...'
Get it completely right, or don't bring it up at all.
You were obviously looking for any lame excuse to attack me, show how the differences between my paraphrasing and his exact words affected the point I was making – namely that I though Evan was wrong and the Loose Changes (in this case) had not distorted the truth and accurately quoted Jennings.
"are his recolections of events that morning simply unreliable?"And, your speculative antics leave a lot to be desired, BTW.
I doubt you bothered to read through the thread, in it I documented how Jennings’ story in 2007 was very different from the one he told September 11 – 18, 20001. There’s little speculation involved. The fact that he is now back tracking IMO makes him even less reliable. I can’t tell if he is intentionally making things up or if he is simply confused. In any case he seems to have a very active imagination. If you can refute the evidence I’ve presented and will present get back us. If all you have to offer is insults expect no further replies from me.
You're exactly what CD pegged you as, and probably worse. But, Simkin believes in allowing all "comers and players" equal opportunity to misinform and disinform the work here, in the name of "debate."Accuracy isn’t your forte. John clearly indicated he wants posts on this forum to be accuruate, he also indicated he wanted members to avoid making personal attacks against others. Your fail on both accounts
Therefore, you'll obviously continue to spout your reams of incessant drivel, designed to intimidate other forum members, here. But, you don't fool me, or any of the others with your flagrantly enormous attitude and equally high opinion of yourself. Get a life!That you resort to personal attack rather than rebut my points speaks volumes. Your mentality seems to be limited to “X, Y and Z say what I already believe they must be correct, A, B and C are sayings I don’t believe to be true they must be wrong

WRONGO, BUCKO!
I've read thoroughly through this thread and find your insufferable remarks to be totally unacceptable, as well. Therefore, I won't go into the many times I've witnessed a building being razed in Manhattan, or the lines of detonation, so OBVIOUSLY apparent on the Murrah Building after its attempted demolition by, supposedly one Timothy McVey. Why? Because they're at such odds with your assessment of the situation and would only serve to fuel your ridicule against any opinion that differs from the government's findings. But, your weak and impotent attacks on deductive reasoning, along with your hyperinflated assessment of your own research abilities only serves to prove that you can dish it out, but God help anyone who would choose to refute you. It's always been that way. Everybody knows it, yet as I've stated above, it only serves to prove one point. Yours, and others, which are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but become cannon fodder for you and Lamson. Both of you have always been the ones to attack first, and like a couple of rabid dogs, at that. Of course, people are going to react defensively. Yours and Lamson's condescending attitudes are designed to elicit that exact response. I'm just trying to expose your tactics for the underhanded charade they really are.
Tisk. tisk BUCKO! If you can't refute the evidence, attack. Thats pretty much your standard response BUCKO! At least this one was not laced with the profanity that is so common in your rants. I guess we can be thankful for that at least.

Bravo, Terry. Since Charles Drago's succinct description of Colby is now censored here,
I may start quoting YOUR assessment...unless it too is censored.
I have started replying to Colby using MACBETH, ACT V, SCENE V. If they censor that too,
because it might corrupt the sensitivities of the students who study here (?) then we will
know how far the intolerance to truth really goes. Yeah, that's the ticket...censor Shakespeare.

In 1942 Rivera joined the United States Army and served as first lieutenant in the medical corps. He was stationed at Walter Reed Army Hospital and later assigned to Halloran General Army Hospital in New York. In 1944 he was promoted to captain and went on a series of assignments in Italy and France and at the 198th General Army Hospital in Berlin.
During the Korean War he served in the Medical Field Unit and was promoted to the rank of major. After the war, he was chief of laboratory service and pathology at the U.S. Army Hospital in Tokyo. In 1958, he was assigned to the Reserve Training Center in Washington.
Dr Jose Rivera's background & movements are very interesting. Other posts in this thread suggest his involvement in MK-ULTRA. Is it the case that Rivera was in Japan in a senior "medical" position throughout the 1950s?
In posts #82, 85 & 89 in the thread linked below, I posted information about MK-ULTRA documents from 1954 describing proposed human "field" tests of narco-hypnotic programming, particularly in the context of a "false defector" programme. It is also documented that Atsugi was one of two known non-US bases used for MK-ULTRA field trials.
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...75&start=75
There are also suggestions that the "false defector" programme involved the Gehlen Organization, the OSS/CIA network of Nazi spies (often right-wing East Europeans such as White Russians, Ukrainians, Latvians) used against the Soviets in the aftermath of WW2.
In "The Nazi Connection to the John F Kennedy Assassination", Mae Brussell stated:
Also at (Allen) Dulles' direction, Gehlen tapped the ranks of his wartime Russian collaborators for a cadre of spies to be parachuted into the Soviet Union. Some of these spies were schooled at the CIA's clandestine base at Atsugi, Japan, where, in 1957, a young marine named Lee Harvey Oswald was posted to the U-2 spy plane operation there.So, if this is correct, we have "training schools" for both MK-ULTRA and the Gehlen Organization operating out of Atsugi in the timeframe that Oswald was busy attacking his superiors in strangely pre-meditated fashion in the Blue Bird Cafe.
The synchronicities are piling up.
Yes, I agree Jan, the pimple is about to 'pop'.....and isn't it interesting how things that 'seem' to be connected, but don't 'make sense' in a complete way, as being connected, suddenly do - at a certain point. I think we have almost reached that point on this matter.....the puzzle pieces are all there and only need some final assembly. I assure all the final picture will not be 'pretty'. Many, if not most, of the White Russians [and others] around Oswald were likely creatures of [or connected to] the Gehlen Org - as were some others in the Oswald set-up 'orbit'. Mae really was 'on track' IMO. MK/ULTRA fits in here...exactly how is not completely clear yet..but I think it just around the corner; and that 'piece' will fit nicely when put in its 'place'.
The concern Peter, is that when that final piece of the puzzle clarifies, it will very likely be too late to stop the beast of fascism manifesting again.
My, my are we all as cynical as I?!....I agree it might be too late, but we need to try, just in case we are wrong on the timing and doing the near impossible. Information will help those to whom it has meaning. I agree a new fascism is ascendent now and one doesn't need the last puzzle pieces to fit in order to see that. Those last few pieces might help fight it though!....maybe....we can hope...

It is a songbook prepared for YAF's 1971 convention, and in its mimeographed pages you will find a lyric poking fun at "Adlai [stevenson] the bald-headed Com-Symp," and another moaning that, in the State Department, "everyone's a Commie slave." All good clean fun, surely. Turn a few pages, though, and you will find that the righteous ones also lifted their young voices to warble "Cara al Sol," the humor-free anthem of Spanish fascism.
Fascism now seems to be the default setting in today's political parties of the right, and appears to be gaining ground with every year that passes. What a great pity it is that this once apparently vanquished beast has been allowed to take root to this degree.

"Were we all asleep when this happened?"
I was wide awake when they took over Congress in 1994, coming to the realization that my vote obviously amounted to jacks--t, since I've never voted "right" in my whole damned life. So, how could this have been allowed to happen? Fast forward to 2000, and 2004 for the real answers in Ohio and Florida. Plus, with the greatest aiding and abetting coming from Operation Mockingbird's egregious hypnotic tactics via its shill of a bought and paid for commercial news media. Of course, the best laid plans of snakes and serpents had already been set in place during Reagan's and Don Regan's dismantling what was left of any balls the U.S. government may have had, in the 1980's.

I knew Charlie Black when I served as legal counsel to the National Conservative Political Action Committee in 1975-76. He was a bigoted creature of Senator Jesse Helms, both being from North Carolina. He gained his wealth and influence by riding the back of Ronald Reagan, who beqeathed to us the likes of the Bushes and Black. Thomas Frank's article in the Wall Street Journal (of all places) hits the mark and shows how if McCain were elected president, Black's evil influence would be amplified.

THE TILTING YARD By THOMAS FRANK
Charlie Black's Cronies
July 2, 2008
Wall Street Journal
Doing some research in the Library of Congress recently, an associate of mine came across a curious artifact of the Young Americans for Freedom, the high-spirited conservative group of the Vietnam era.
It is a songbook prepared for YAF's 1971 convention, and in its mimeographed pages you will find a lyric poking fun at "Adlai [stevenson] the bald-headed Com-Symp," and another moaning that, in the State Department, "everyone's a Commie slave." All good clean fun, surely. Turn a few pages, though, and you will find that the righteous ones also lifted their young voices to warble "Cara al Sol," the humor-free anthem of Spanish fascism.
Many YAFers later rose to positions of great political influence. From direct mailers to congressmen to campaign managers, the group put its stamp on our era in no small way.
This year's most prominent YAF graduate is Charlie Black, who was an officer of the group in the period when it sang fascist hymns and who now serves as a senior adviser to Republican John McCain. Last week, Mr. Black triggered a media storm by musing publicly on how a terrorist attack would improve Mr. McCain's chances to win the presidential election in November.
Mr. Black is a difficult man to pin down. The articles he wrote for the YAF's magazine back in 1972 are anodyne stuff, unremarkable apart from his youthful passion to "take on liberalism everywhere it rules...."
But he's also kept some questionable company over the years. In 1975 he founded, with the help of fellow YAFer Terry Dolan, the National Conservative Political Action Committee, which would contrive so brilliantly to poison the political atmosphere over the next decade. NCPAC's method was to raise money through terrifying direct-mail solicitations – "the shriller you are, the better it is to raise money," Mr. Dolan said – and then to spend it on terrifying TV commercials assailing this or that liberal politician. In 1980 the group helped defeat four Democratic senators, making it an overnight sensation and an omen of the money-driven, all-negative political future.
NCPAC's calling card was slime. It constantly attacked members of Congress for votes they hadn't cast and positions they hadn't taken – "there have been a few mistakes made in terms of research," was all Mr. Black would admit – and the group's main accomplishment was dodging the campaign-finance laws of the day.
Mr. Dolan was NCPAC's main personality, a boasting bully fond of shocking statements. He once bragged to a reporter that "We could say whatever we want about an opponent of a Senator Smith and the senator wouldn't have to say anything. A group like ours could lie through its teeth and the candidate it helps stays clean."
Then there was Roger Stone, who became Mr. Black's colleague in his 1980s lobbying firm Black, Manafort & Stone. Another YAFer, Mr. Stone made his reputation for scummy politics in the 1972 Nixon campaign, and has since become such a well-known impresario of calumny that Matt Labash, writing last year in the Weekly Standard, described him as "a U.S. Army of treachery: He screws more people before 9 a.m. than most people do in a whole day."
But what are dirty tricks without some sort of payoff? Conservatives often promise to wage war on the welfare state; what they don't brag about is the way they redirect the proceeds of the welfare state into the pockets of their own kind – the favored lobby firms, the well-connected contractors. Here, too, Mr. Black has a story he might relate.
During the Reagan years, the Department of Housing and Urban Development allegedly began steering contracts to clients of political favorites; one gang thus favored was Mr. Black's firm, and in particular, Mr. Black's partner, Paul Manafort. The firm took in over $300,000 lobbying HUD for funds, some of it to rehab a New Jersey housing development that, according to the Boston Globe, "New Jersey officials said they did not want and was a waste of taxpayers money." Allegations also flew about Mr. Black's own role in the HUD scandal, but no wrongdoing was ever proven in court. Mr. Manafort, for his part, became a principal in a lobbying firm headed until recently by Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager.
It's an interesting bunch Mr. Black has run with, and taken all together they help us understand the larger picture. What unites the conservatives of the 1970s with their pocket-lining counterparts today? A persistent derision for the notion that government might someday be conducted on the level. As that old YAF songbook put it, "Keep the faith with cynicism / Cut the opposition down!"

The other connection with the JFK assassination is that it is another example of a CIA freelance operation and included such figures as Ted Shackley, Mitchell WerBell, Tom Clines and Paul Helliwell.
What we could do with is a TV documentary on the "Secret Team", Shackley's CIA freelance covert activities that included assassinations, arms-running and drug smuggling. I was once told by a very good source that the CIA was more concerned with the Secret Team's involvement in drugs than with the JFK assassination.
This subject has been discussed in some detail here:

For the shot timing to work - either the Zapruder film was altered or someone else was shooting...
Actually!
"Lefty's" have relatively accurately fired the Carcano in as little as 1.6 to 1.8 seconds of elapsed time utilizing the iron sights.
The 2.25 to 2.4 seconds, as quoted by the WC, is related strictly to target acquisition through usage of the scope.
Additionally, numerous individuals (right-handed shooters) have fired the Carcano in 1.9 to 2.0 seconds of elaspsed time between shots, utilizing the iron sights for aiming.
For someone who has practiced with and had has experience operating the weapon, a 2.0 second elapsed time or slightly less would be more in the norm, if utilizing the iron sights.
The prime indicator that there are frames missing from the film between Z313 and the last shot impact down in front of James Altgens, is that the vehicle speed is inconsitant with the testilmonies which have repeatedly stated that the Presidential Limo slowed down considerably, and which is not shown on the film.
The rapid nature of the two last shots appears to be what lead members of the WC staff to question the entire Oswald family in regards to whether LHO was left-handed or not.
An indicator that someone was fully aware that a "lefty" could out-speed shoot a "righty" with a bolt action rifle.
So, it would appear that they completely ignored that one can fire the weapon considerably faster when utilizing only the iron sight for target acquisition.
Of course, there is also the fact that they did not want anyone looking in between Z313 and Z354 (313 + (18.3 X 2.25), and therefore could not, or would not let that possibility out of the bag.
After all, one might accidentally begin to look at the vicinity of James Altgens were one to understand that the weapon is easily fired faster when utilizing the iron sights for target acquisition.

Hi Har,
I just came across this post to Dawnie, so I copied and pasted it into an e-mail to her home e-mail address.
I know she's been super busy with work, same as myself these days. Seems like everyone's trying to get more bang for their buck by cutting staff, and piling on the extra work to those who remain to pick up the slack. We only get to talk to each other on the weekends anymore, and only one day at that, if we're lucky.

Are you sure there's supposed to be a space after the "@" in that e-mail address above?
Love,
Ter
Hi, Ter
Thank you for the forward to Dawn,much appreciated. Now today in touch with Erick
re; these efforts.
You are right re; the "@" in the wrong place. I agree re; work pile-up in nowdays
workplaces, but remember the 'total phonies' {Bush & Gang} will soon be out and
gone and things will hopefully lighten up.
Thanks again.
Harry

I certainly hope so, Har.
Then, I'll hopefully get enough time off to run around SoCal with you. We can go in my truck. I'll drive. I get good gas mileage in my 5-speed manual transmission XLT Ranger, built by Ford, of course, with AC and a great stereo system, to boot!
We'll kick ass!!!
Love,
Ter

I see that no one has reported that Tim Russert of MSNBC has died. They think it was a heart attack. He was preparing for his show when he passed out. He was 58 years old. They rushed him to the hospital but couldn't revive him. They are going to do an autopsy. He leaves behind a wife and child.

Over the last decade he seemed to come across as one of D.C.'s "Mockingbird" sellouts, IMHO.
And, I'll never forget his "non-compassionate" interview of that sheriff of Saint Bernard's Parish, right after Katrina's devastation, replete with Russert's seemingly acceptance of Bush's handling of the situation, along with the appointment of Bush's half-wit "good ole boy" buddy, [brown was his name?] whom Bush had put in charge of FEMA. Russert came across just like every other "Belt-Way" talking head, bought and paid for by Mockingbird.
His passing is a loss to his family. God help his soul.

Question sent to me by email. "What is the name of LBJ's psychiatrist who worked with him in his final days at the Ranch and is there any record of what was said? Those sessions, for me, are the million dollar questions."
Do to professional confidentiality, most psychiatrists will not, even after the death of high-profile and famous patients say much. It took decades to get Maralyn Monroe's psychiatrist to ONLY say that she was not suicidal just before her death. He said very little more. Good luck. Personally, for famous political figures or those who died under suspicious circumstances, I think these privacy/confidentiality considerations should be waived. I think in many cases it is a cover for a more pressing concern - survival.

Yes but!
Then, someone just may be required to tell all in regards to removal of a third bullet from someone's leg!
