California elementary school evacuated over bomb threat after rightwing harassment
By @dani_anguiano Wed 30 Aug 2023
"A California elementary school was evacuated on Tuesday in response to a bomb threat, days after the school was targeted online by rightwing extremists over a playdate event.
But a flier for the event was soon posted on Reddit, KRON4 reported, and the far-right extremist handle Libs of TikTok reposted it on Twitter. As its contact information spread online, the school saw a deluge of hate mail and phone calls, Chabot’s equity and inclusion committee told the outlet.
In one email, someone referenced a race war and said: “We’re going to put you back in chains or in the jungle where you belong.”
Libs of TikTok has been linked to waves of harassment as well as threats at schools, libraries and hospitals across the US. Earlier this week, a library in Davis, California, received a bomb threat for the third time. The library became a target for rightwing commenters online, including Libs of TikTok, after an official reportedly asked a speaker at an event to leave after they misgendered trans athletes.
An elementary school in Oklahoma received two bomb threats last week in the days after Libs of TikTok tweeted a video made by the school librarian in which she jokingly wrote about pushing her “radical liberal agenda” of “teaching kids to love books and be kind”.
Last year, multiple hospitals that provide gender-affirming care saw a series of threats. Boston children’s hospital had received three bomb threats by late November 2022. Libs of TikTok had posted about the hospital, claiming that the facility offers complex gender affirmation surgery to minors."
Hospitals, schools, libraries...
Why is this not terrorism? And why are we not treating this like any other form of terrorism?

Steve, running down the list of 49 "Harvey Lee Oswald" references it's not obvious where they might relate to the library incident.
. The library was destination A, and the TT was alternate B. This is spy craft, no? Because of the library void there is nothing at all about "Little Big Horn" and the secret service impostors encountered by Buhk.
Michael,
A couple of things:
1) I only brought up the 5'10" guy because you had mentioned the suspect in Jerry Hill's car. I admit I extrapolated and did a little free association. I personally think that there is a link between the 5'10", 165lb guy that crops u[ in various places, and the name Harvey Lee Oswald; but that's just me.
My apologies.
2) The reseaarch I have done on Harvey Lee Oswald is separate and distinct from the Harvey and Lee hypothesis. In my mind, Harvey Lee Oswald is a name, a file, a dossier that someone created. I do not know who created it or why. I think it was supposed to be closely held, and somehow it got out and was widely shared among other government agencies. As I told someone once, for a Secret Service agent to interview freight ship passenger, Billy Joe Lord, and to physically write down the name, Harvey Lee Oswald seven times, something like five months after the assassination is not a typo, it's muscle memory.
3) As for someone writing about the Library and not mentioning Marvin Buhk and the account of talking to Secret Service agents, I can't explain it.
Maybe because it's not mentioned anywhere else?
I don't know.
I once did a study of all the places where Secret Service agents were reported to be, at a time and place where no known Secret Service agents were supposed to be.
The Library was one of those places. You can find a copy here, if you're interested: I called it, "Secret Service: On the Knoll and Beyond".

Recruiting is underway for Trump-like ‘wrecking ball’ to shrink government and fire federal workers
By LISA MASCARO August 29, 2023
“With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.
Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s second term — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024.
With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.”
(Ramaswaney wants to fire as many as 75,000 federal workers)
The Confederacy wanted to destroy the Union with military forces. These guys just want to eliminate it.

Please be patient regarding "Harvey Lee Oswald." It's an unfamiliar concept, and I'm going to check out the linked references.
Michael,
I have compiled a list of 49 such references in various government documents I have run across.

- Trump lawyer, Alina Habba -
“Yeah. If it was a normal person, honestly, Shannon, I could understand the concern. President Trump is not your average person,” Habba replied. “He’s incredibly intelligent and he knows the ropes. He also knows the facts because he lived them.”
“What is going to have to be prepped for? The truth?” Habba added. ”You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong, so that I’m not concerned with.”
That's why we can't go to trial until 2026, three years from now.
Judge Chutkin must have agreed with her. She just set the trial date to begin March 4, 2024.
"I don't care if he wants to go to Scotland to play golf. I don't care if he wants to run for President. The man is a criminal defendant charged with 91 felonies. He's going trial."

Steve, here's a brief sequence of events, using Kimbrough/Shearer transcript reference numbers.
4. At 1:26 Hill tells the dispatcher on channel 1, "I'm at Twelfth and Beckley now. Have a man in the car with me that can identify the suspect if anybody gets him." (1065)
5. At 1:34 Walker tells the dispatcher on channel 1, "he's in the library at Jefferson -- east 500 block Marsalis and Jefferson." (1208)
6. Lt. Cunningham arrives a few minutes later, "surprised to find thirty to forty armed civilians already there."Michael,
I'd never heard about the 20-40 armed civilians at the Library. Can you tell me where you found this?
I've often wondered about Hill being south of Jefferson at 1:26. He radioed in and said he had someone with him who could "identify the suspect"
I wonder which "suspect" the man was prepared to identify. I say this because in his WC testimony, Hill told the Commission that,
WC testimony of DPD Sergeant Gerald Hill:
https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/hill_gl.htm
"We went on to the scene of the shooting where we found a squad car parked against the right or the south curb on 10th Street, with a pool of blood on the left-hand side of it near the side of the car.
Tippit had already been removed. The first man that came up to me, he said, "The man that shot him was a white male about 5'10", weighing 160 to 170 pounds, had on a Jacket and a pair of dark trousers, and brown bushy hair."At that same 1:26 time, the Dispatcher responded to Unit 91 (Patrolman W. D. Mentzel (and) J. W. Courson}
91
What was the description besides the white jacket?
Dispatcher
White male, thirty, five feet eight, black hair, slender build, white shirt, black trousers. Going west on Jefferson from the 300 block.
So again, I ask, I wonder which "suspect" the man was prepared to identify?
I think an alternate scenario was being worked out that would blame the shooting on on somebody named Harvey Lee Oswald
There have been references on several threads about a cable sent on the evening of 11/22 from Fort Sam Houston to Strike Command, McDill AFB in Florida. In the cable, reference was made, to information obtained by Detective Don Stringfellow of the Dallas Police Department. I managed to locate a copy of the cable, which you can find here:
https://archive.org/details/nsia-ArmyIntelligenceJFK
I think this is in the Weisberg collection.
L.D. Stringfellow was a Detective in the Dallas Police Department's Special Service Bureau of which Revill was a Lieutenant.
http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf
Stringfellow Cable
In this referenced cable, Harvey Lee Oswald was described as 5'10" tall, 165 lbs, with light brown hair and blue eyes.
In her WC testimony on April 8, 1964, Earlene Roberts twice said that when the police came to the rooming house on Beckley, they were looking for somebody named Harvey Lee Oswald.
The initial description broadcast over the DPD radio at 12:45 PM was for a suspect 5"10" tall weighing 165 lbs and nobody knows where that description came from.
There's a scenario being worked out here that never came to fruition.

Steve,
Wow, not what I expected.
The forum software doesn't want a broken link. So when you deleted each file from your attachments list, it first made a copy of it and inserted it right inside the post.
This means it would be a bad idea to allow all members to do what you're doing. Because, by deleting files, they are not really freeing up disk space. It just gets used up in a different disk location. Meanwhile, with their allotted space freed up, members could add more attachments. Eventually we'd run out of space and would have to pay for more.
But this is still a good way to allow people to temporarily delete from locked threads.
So continue to delete, but do so only from locked threads. Then let me know when you're done and I change your account back to normal.
I understand you've already deleted some photos that were not in locked threads. Well, what is done is done.
Sandy,
I went back in seven hours later.
The post and photo are gone from the My Attachments page.
The post still shows up in the actual Thread, but now, instead of a photo, it shows up as a url.
If you tap the url, a tiny little thumbnail appears. If you tap the thumbnail, an error message appears that says, " Access Denied."

Okay Sandy,
I posted a photo in this Thread. Once I saw that was posted, I went back to My Attachments and deleted it using the little square box next to the Thread title.
It deleted it from there, and neither the post, nor the photo show up in My Attachments any longer.
However, the post and the photo still appear in this Thread.
I logged out and left the Forum, and came back in and it made no difference. I think a person would still have to physically go to the post and edit it and delete the post.
PS: If you go to edit the post, the photo no longer shows up as an attachment. It just shows up in the body of your post.

Steve,
Will you direct me to one of your posts that used to show one of your photos, but now it doesn't because you deleted it in My Attachments? I want to see the consequences and determine if allowing all members to do this would be problematic in the long run.
Actually, I'd like to see TWO of your posts with photos deleted this way, one in a locked thread (e.g. 56 Years) and one in an unlocked thread.
Sandy,
Gee, I'm not sure I remember them.
I know.I deleted a bunch from the Mainstream Cooler, and since the Thread on the 56 Years is now closed, I deleted just about every post I could find there.
If I deleted them, would they still show up in my history of postings, regardless of whether they had a photo attached or not?
Tell you what. I'll run a test in this Thread. I'll post something here right now and include a photo. Once I know it's here, I'll delete it. It will be called, "This is just a test." I'll delete the post using that little square box. I will let you know when that is done.
Is there some kind of Archive that stores every photo a member has ever posted?

Several questions have crossed my mind:
1) Did the "Secret Service" men at the Library present Buhk with any kind of credentials, like the SS man on the knoll did to Office Joe Smith?
2) Marvin Buhk was a Detective in the Forgery Bureau. Surely he would have some skill in spotting forged documents.
3) Was there any connection between the "Secret Service" men at the Library with the IBM men at Johnny Brewers Shoe Store who disappeared from history?
4) Notice that Marvin Buhk speaks of more than one Agent being present. The “Agent” Buhk spoke to was also a primary catalyst in shifting attention away from the branch library. At 1:32PM, Patrolman C.T. Walker broadcasts on Channel 2 that the suspect is in the Library. At approximately 1:40 Sergeant C.B. Owens tells Dispatch, and the Dispatcher broadcasts to all cars to “Disregard all information on the suspect arrested, it was the wrong man.”. This is only about an eight-minute window of opportunity. When did these “Secret Service men” arrive at the Library, how did they know to go there, and when did one of them have time to “talk to the man previously”?
https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/3572-the-balcony-arrest/?page=3
4) A long time ago I read a theory (I think it was from Greg Parker) that the Library incident was an effort to draw attention away from the search of the Abundant Life Temple. Oswald disappeared for about a half an hour between the time of the Tippit shooting at roughly 1:15 and the sighting at the Theater at 1:45. Where was he?
Questions. Questions.

If you don't think Donald Trump considers himself to be a king, he just referred to the other candidates for the Presidency as "Pretenders to the throne".
Think about that for a while.

In his after-action report to Chief Curry dated December 3, 1963 , Detective Marvin Buhk wrote,
https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth339939/m1/1/?q=%22Marvin%20Buhk%22
Now, maybe Buhk meant to write that the men at the Library were from the Police Department’s Special Service Bureau, but, Marvin Buhk was a Detective in the DPD’s Forgery Bureau, along with John B. Toney. E.L. Cunningham was one of its Lieutenants.
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf page 31 of the pdf file.
As a Detective, you would think that he would know the difference between the Special Service Bureau and the Secret Service; especially since E.E. Taylor, who was with him, was a Detective in that same Special Service Bureau.
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf page 4 of the pdf file
In addition, I don’t know who in the Special Service Bureau would have been at the Library sooner than Buhk and Cunningham.
Steve Thomas
In his after-action report, John B. Toney makes no mention of going to the Library
https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth338554/m1/1/?q=Toney
He said that about 1:50 PM, while "cruising the Oak Cliff area of Dallas", a report came over the radio that a policeman had been shot and that the suspect was hiding in the balcony of a movie theater.
(There's a good hafl an hour of time missing there)
In his after-acti9n report, E.L. Cunningham
https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth338004/m1/1/?q=Cunninghamwrote that on their way to 1oth and Patton, they heard about the Library, and went there.
"We checked this out and found it to be a false report."
In E.E. Taylor's report,
https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth337733/?q=E.E. Taylor
He wrote that after hearing about the Library, "We proceeded to this location, and upon arriving, found it to be false."
Nothing about any Secret Service guys from any of the other three policemen.
None of the four were called to testify before the Warren Commission.So, where did Buhk's story come from?
How totally odd.

Great, it works! Thanks for reporting back. Now I know how to help others with the same problem.
Sandy,
I got up this morning and started working on deleting Attachments.
I just saw those little squares to the right of the Forum Threads in the My Attachments page for the first time.
You're right. A person can click on those little boxes and delete a whole bunch of posts at the same time, even from those Inevitable Results of the Last 56 Years thread.
I'm recovering storage space at a rapid pace.
Thank you so much for your help and patience.

You were at the correct place, Steve. Go there again, find the attachment you want to delete, then select it by clicking that little square box to the far right of it. A trash can will appear, and you click it.
Note that you can select multiple thumbnails before deleting them all in a single click. Useful if you a lot to delete.
Let me know if it works.
Sandy,
Thanks. It appears to be working. You don't see the results until you completely leave and go Home, and then come back again to the My Attachments section.
I still can't edit the postings I made in the Inevitable Results of the Last 56 Years Thread in order to remove those Attachments, but I figure you guys will figure out how to do that.

You can't do the first step because the thread where your photo is posted is locke

To do this, click your name (or menu icon) in the top/right corner of the window.Then click My Attachments. You should be able t delete the picture in there.
