    Lynch mobs are back.

    Isn't that nice.

    “The Central District Health Board of Health (Boise, ID) meeting Tuesday night to discuss and vote on a public health order dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic was adjourned shortly after it started because of the danger posed by protesters at the CDH office and at some board members’ places of residence.

    Moments after a tearful Commissioner Diana Lachiondo left the virtual meeting to head to her house — where her son was home alone, and where anti-mask, anti-health-order protesters had reportedly gathered — CDH Director Russ Duke interrupted a doctor’s statements on the toll of the coronavirus to tell the board and people watching that Boise Mayor Lauren McLean and Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee had requested that the meeting be ended for safety reasons.

    Dr. Ted Epperly, another board member, said protesters gathered at his house as well. He told the Statesman that about 15 people were outside his home, “beating garbage cans and flashing strobe lights through my windows. Two came up and knocked on my door during the meeting.”

    A motion was made to adjourn the meeting to a later date and seconded, and board members voted to adjourn shortly after Duke’s statement.”

    Where is our media? Where is the outrage? Shouldn't there be a consensus condemnation of this thuggery?

    Silence to this outrage is complicity ... imo.

    Joe,

    Look at it this way. We've seen a lot in our lives.

    We lived through the 60's. We saw a man land on the moon. We survived the horrors of disco. We had 9/11 and an attack on our soil for the first time since the Civil War. Now we're watching an attempted coup d'etat and the loss of our very democracy.

    We've seen a lot in our lives.

    Who was Jack Ruby?

     Being his own bouncer, throwing people down the stairs.  Selling twist boards on the side.

    Ron,

    Have you ever looked into these "twist boards?

    I forget who Ruby's partner was in that venture.

    Gunrunner Ruby and the CIA

    Written by Lisa Pease 18 April 2006

    “Hubert and Griffin expressed in their memo of May 14 to Rankin that "we believe that the possibility exists, based on evidence already available, that Ruby was involved in illegal dealings with Cuban elements who might have had contact with Oswald. The existence of such dealings can only be surmised since the present investigation has not focused on that area." 4 They expressed concern that "Ruby had time to engage in substantial activities in addition to the management of his Clubs" and that "Ruby has always been a person who looked for money-making 'sidelines'." They even suggested that since the Fort Worth manufacturer of the famous "Twist Board" Ruby was demonstrating the night after the assassination had no known sales, and was manufactured by an oil field equipment company, that "[t]he possibility remains that the 'twist board' was a front for some other illegal enterprise."”

    4. Memorandum to J. Lee Rankin from Leon D. Hubert and Burt W. Griffin, May 14, 1964, p. 4.

    I also read somewhere that the "boards' venture was possibly a front for running drugs.

    The White House Gift Shop Knows

    The President Trump American Flag Pin, regular price $24.95, is now $15.95. The pin has "45th President of The United States, Donald J. Trump" engraved on the backside.

    2018 ornaments -- just in time for Christmas -- are half off. One package which is normally $350 is now available at $175, and a smaller package normally $100 is on sale for $50.

    And, of course -- Trump's red hats. Both the "Keep America Great" and "Make America Great Again" styles are marked down to $34.95 from $37.95.

    Donald Trump can – and should – be stopped from running in 2024

    By Alexander Kirshner and Claudio López-Guerra 12/04/20

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/dec/04/donald-trump-presidential-run-20204

    “Donald Trump’s post-election maneuvers have, at a minimum, rocked Americans’ faith in their democracy. And rumors abound that the president will seek the position again in 2024, potentially announcing his run during Biden’s inauguration. That possibility requires a proportionate response. Newspapers are teeming with discussions about the wisdom of pursuing criminal prosecutions of Trump after 20 January. But criminal prosecutions are not the only, or even the best mechanism for responding to the Trumpian challenge to self-government. In a society fully committed to democracy, Congress would use this lame-duck period to impeach, convict and disqualify Donald Trump from pursuing public office in the future, as the constitution allows.”

    A mysterious company created 9 months ago is the RNC’s highest paid vendor of the 2020 election

    By Roger Sollenberger, Salon December 4, 2020

    https://www.rawstory.com/2020/12/a-mysterious-company-created-9-months-ago-is-the-rncs-highest-paid-vendor-of-the-2020-election/

    "...filings with the Federal Election Commission show that the RNC paid Digital Consulting Group more than $42 million for media buys, consulting and marketing between February and October. The company went from nonexistent to being the Republican Party’s highest-paid vendor of the 2020 election, all in the space of eight months.

    But Digital Consulting Group presents a mystery. No other political campaign or committee has reported any payments at all to the company. While a number of organizations share the name, this particular Digital Consulting Group — a Delaware company founded Jan. 15, 2020 — does not appear to have a website, and a Delaware business entity search does not reveal an owner or location. The RNC’s spending reports list a virtual address in Wilmington, but beyond that the company cannot be traced.”

    “For further perspective, Digital Consulting Group received four out of the five largest payments that the RNC doled out between 2019 and 2020, including a flat $6 million on Oct. 7 for an unspecified media buy. In fact, it has received three of the 10 largest payments that the RNC has ever made — all to a company that was evidently constructed to conceal its origins and prevent the public from knowing anything about it.”

    Trump To Sell Arctic Refuge Oil Leases 2 Weeks Before Biden Inauguration

    The 11th-hour effort could forever transform one of Alaska’s crown jewels.

    By Chris D’Angelo 12/3/20

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-alaska-refuge-oil-biden-administration_n_5fc90a0ac5b613828e32d6fc

    “The Trump administration will sell off rights to drill for oil in Alaska’s pristine and fragile Arctic National Wildlife Refuge just days ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. 

    The 11th-hour lease sale is slated for Jan. 6, the Bureau of Land Management announced Thursday. That’s exactly two weeks before Biden, who has pledged to protect the vast wilderness area, assumes office.”

    Unreal. 

    W.,

    These people have said that the President should invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law.

    They want to set up Military Tribunals. They've called for Christopher Krebs to be shot and Anthony Fauci to be beheaded. Election officials and the free press are enemies of the people.

    What's next? Concentration camps and the "Final Solution"?

    Larry/Steve. Great discussion.

    Do we know just when in June Cisneros visited Odio?

    David,

    From Sylvia's WC testimony:

    http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/odio.htm

    "Mrs. ODIO. I think I can give you the exact date. This was before I left for Puerto Rico. June 28, Eugenio arrived from Miami to see Johnny Martin.
    Mr. LIEBELER. So you say that on June 28 Eugenio arrived from Miami, is that correct?
    Mrs. ODIO. He was supposed to have arrived June 14, but he never did, and I called-two times to make another appointment with Johnny, and he just arrived in time for me to see him. Then it was a time when we met, not Alentado, the other one, Alvareda--Rodriguez Alvareda.
    So they went to my house. Now, I was living at the time at 6140 Oram Street, the day they arrived. But when I went back to Puerto Rico, the same day, June 29, I saw Ray, and I explained to him what Johnny Martin here in Dallas was up to, and then he said that he was planning a trip also to see if something could be worked out."

    So, Cisneros visits Sylvia on June 28. She goes to Puerto Rico the next day and tells Ray all about it.

    Interesting.

    "Good morning.

    Our country is headed to civil war. A war created by 3rd party bad actors for their benefit – not for We The People.

    Communist China is leading the nefarious efforts to take away our freedom.@realDonaldTrump should declare martial law.https://t.co/h3Ym5ytMYt "

    Let's see. We've got one lawyer calling for murder, and another one calling for martial law.

    This is good company Trump keeps.

    Larry,

     I've long thought that more emphasis should have been placed on Odio as an intermediary for weapons sales as opposed to her simply being a "translator" of flyers.

    Steve Thomas

    Larry,

    Not to beat a dead horse, but this is what did it for me:

    Commission Document 946 - SS Aragon Report of 5 May 1964 re: Sylvia Odio, Rogelio Cisneros Diaz page 3

    https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=11342&search="Juan_Martin"#relPageId=4&tab=page

    On May 4, 1964 in an interview in his home with SS Agent Ernest I. Aragon, Rogelio Cisneros told Aragon that:

    Rogelio Cisneros, a JURE member in Miami, went to Dallas alone, by plane in June, 1963 for the specific purpose of contacting Sylvia Odio who was supposed to introduce Cisneros to a Uruguayan named Juan Martin, who was interested in selling small arms to JURE. “He further identified himself as Rogelio Cisneros Diaz, an officer of JURE, at Miami,Florida, and added that the name “Eugenio” is his designated “war name””.

    The JURE office in Dallas was already in operation, having been established in May, 1963. He only contacted Sylvia Odio once. When they went to her house, Cisneros was accompanied by Jorge Rodriguez (Alvarada) (Alvereda?), their Dallas delegate, and no one else.

    My question is, why would Rogelio Cisneros fly from Miami, FL. To Dallas, TX. alone, in a plane for the specific purpose of contacting Sylvia Odio in order to meet a gun runner who he had never met before? Why her and why only once?
