    I don't ever remember seeing it, or anybody ever quoting from it.

  2. Bail bondsman down in Georgia, accused of tampering with voting machines, Scott Hall, has pled guilty and has said he will testify that Sydney Powell was behind the whole vote tampering thing.

    Former NYC Police Commissioner, and Rudy Giuliani henchman, Bernie Kerik, has said that he won't testify against Donald Trump, but if he is given immunity, will testify against Sydney Powell.

    It looks like Sydney is going to be thrown to the wolves.

    There will be pressure now for Ms. Powell to cut her own deal.

    Only Meadows and Trump are higher up the food chain.

    “We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply: If you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store”, he said, drawing loud applause. “Shot” he added for emphasis.

     

    Forget about arrests and trials and all that silly stuff.

    You know, Donald Trump sure seems to talk about killing people a lot.

    “Former President Donald Trump made a bizarre pitch to California voters Friday, promising to fill the state’s canals with enough water to irrigate bathrooms and dampen forests to prevent wildfires. “All the currently dry canals will be brimming and used to irrigate everything including your own homes and bathrooms and everything—you’re going to be happy and I'm going to get it done fast,” Trump said. “They say that there’s so much water up north that I want to have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests because if you dampen your forests you’re not going to have these forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.” The unhinged nature of the plan did not appear to dampen its popularity with voters at the California GOP Fall convention, who applauded the idea.”

     

    Irrigate your bathrooms?

    Dampen the forests?

    Is that before or after you rake them?

  5. Kevin McCarthy sa8d, "The just want to burn it all down."

    He's absolutely right.

    The chaos agents in Congress want the government to fail so that they can go back to their people and say, "See. Our way of governing ourselves doesn't work."

    They're paving the way for a strongman to sweep in and make it all better. He won't rule by consensus. He'll rule by fiat.

    The chaos agents hope to be the court courtiers, the inner guard who will share in the spoils.

    The fumbling ineptitude is not random. It's by design.

  6. - Donald Trump -

    "The Republicans lost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed, in this case, Crooked (as Hell!) Joe Biden!" Trump said on Truth Social. "Our Country is being systematically destroyed by the Radical Left Marxists, Fascists and Thugs - THE DEMOCRATS. UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN! Close the Border, stop the Weaponization of 'Justice,' and End Election Interference."

     

    Never mind the millions of people who will be hurt.

    It's all about getting back at Joe Biden.

    I don't think there has been a more narcisistic person in all of human history.

    THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO STEAL PENNSYLVANIA AGAIN BY DOING THE 'AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION' SCAM," Trump said Saturday. "THEY NEVER STOP! OBAMA AND HIS RADICAL LEFT THUGS ARE PUSHING THIS, AND THE DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING THE NEW LIBERAL GOVERNOR, ARE THRILLED."

    Trump goes on to suggest that his companions in the Senate and House should be replaced if they don't do something about it.

    "IF REPUBLICAN 'LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING THE DISASTER WE HAVE IN THE SENATE, MITCH MCCONNELL, TOGETHER WITH KEVIN M, & THE RNC (FINALLY!), DON’T TAKE ACTION NOW, WE HAVE TO THROW EVERYBODY OUT & GET PEOPLE WHO CAN STOP THE SCAMS, CHEATING, & RIGGING - & WIN! THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN PARTY MUST ENERGIZE, GET TOUGH, & STOP THIS SCAM - OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!!!"

     

    For God's sake, don't let them vote!

    Get rid of everybody!

  8. Donald,

    In your calculations, you have to take in account, Lieutenant Erich Kaminsky.

    After the assassination, George Lumpkin returned to the TSBD and took command there.

    https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth338584/m1/43/?q=Stevenson

    pp21-22.

    According to the Dispatch Tapes, George Lumpkin had arrived at the TSBD by 12:49 PM

    http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/dpdtapes/

    15 (Captain C.E. Talbert): “15 is at the scene. We... the building's the Old Purse Company on the east side of Houston. Somebody cut off the back side, will you? Make sure nobody leaves there.”

    Dispatcher: “10-4, 15”

    15: “15's in charge down here. Correction 5's (Deputy Chief Lumpkin) in charge.”

    (It appears that Talbert had the wrong building in mind).

     

    It was Kaminsky who Deputy Chief Lumpkin had positioned at the front door of the TSBD.

  9. Former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says Rupert Murdoch’s ‘anger-tainment’ damaged the democratic world

    by Paul Karp Thu 21 Sep 2023

    https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/sep/22/former-australian-pm-malcolm-turnbull-comments-rupert-murdoch

     

    “Malcolm Turnbull, a former Liberal prime minister and advocate for a royal commission into the Murdoch media empire, said the media mogul had created an “anger-tainment ecosystem” that had left the US “angrier and more divided than it’s been at any time since the civil war”. “

     

    Anger as entertainment. That is so true.

  10. During his Presidency, Donald Trump wanted to use the military for his own nefarious purposes.

    It was the military who resisted his wildest impulses; putting the military on the streets of America, using the military to seize voting machines, etc.

    I read an article the other day that said that the reason Tommy Tuberville is holding up promotions in the higher military ranks is that he expects that Trump will win the 2024 election and that Trump will fill those positions with people who will do what he wants.

  11. Matt Gaetz: ‘We will have a government shutdown’ — or he’ll attempt to oust Kevin McCarthy
    By. Matt Laslo September 20, 2023
    https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/matt-gate-government-shutdown/
    "In the House, Democrats are in the minority and have no real tools to force McCarthy to work with them. So they’re left standing on the sidelines as the GOP fights itself while driving the government bus off the proverbial cliff in real-time.
    “It's going off the cliff. If they don't get their way, they're gonna shut the government down,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) told Raw Story. “It's really pretty remarkable that they don't want to govern and they don't know how to govern.”
    While Gaetz and company now prepare for a government shutdown of their own making, Democrats aren’t smiling.
    “What we're looking at right now is a collapse of government,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) told Raw Story. “This is not about shutdowns. I think this is historic. I really do. I don't think there's any example of your governing party — so-called – has lost the capacity to do anything. I don't know how this is gonna end up.”"

    It really is pretty remarkable. You have a political party that fought so hard to be in power, and now they don't know what to do with it.

  12. 12 hours ago, Ron Bulman said:

    No Steve, the notes have a prologue, 1 - 5.  From Jean Hill to PDS to Sylvia Meagher to RFK's death.  The H- is used throughout the end notes in different contexts.  Stand alone, like the one I used earlier H-11, 417-419.  Or, CE 1034, 23H 729.  or, CE 2003. 24H 228; Decker 5323, 19 H 456-57; Weitzman (or someone's) comments on November 22 were broadcast on KBOX, CE 3043 26H 599.  

    IDK, odd.  My very first thought was HSCA, but no.  Hearing ???  Notes?

    Ron,

    23H729 would, of course, be vol XXIII of the Warren Hearings and Exhibits, page 729, but H-11 has me stumped.

    I thought, at first, it might refer to part of CD 81 - the DPD Case File that they turned over to Waggoner Carr, but I went through those pages and didn't find it.

    It has me stumped too.

    One of the things the guys at WAVE learned was that any operation they planned which involved the participants knowing any level of detail was quickly compromised - because the Cubans talked among each other.  A cultural thing that they came to accept.

    So the practice became to keep them all on call, have them on the payroll, but since you were working with training people  you only needed to give them the minimum logistics orders until they were assembled at the mission launch site.   Not you might still find gossip that was something was going to happen.....but it would be all over the place.  Just like the gossip we find about JFK being at risk starting in the late summer time frame.

    What I can't seem to get across is that this was not a new type mission, an infantry ambush against a soft target does which involves no more than a dozen or so people is not a massive operation and the trade off is always how much prep time is actually required balanced with the tolerance for leaks.  In this case I suspect the tactical team had a few weeks notice  in regard to a mission but that they were then isolated, transported and put under strict control in the Dallas area while all elements were finalized and rehearsed.

    I know everybody wants something more but its the small scale, special operations with highly trained people that actually work...the ambush/sniper attacks on Castro had required no more than half a dozen people with some minimal support by locals and then they more often failed due to leaks than anything else.

     

    Ron,

    It doesn't seem to refer to vol. XI of the WC or vol. Xi of the HSCA, so, I don't know.

    There's no explanation at the beginning of his footnotes?
