Fahrenheit 2023: Even in Mississippi’s segregation academies, we learned about Emmett Till

"What does Mississippi look like?" my son's girlfriend asked me over the holidays. For a minute I faltered trying to think of how to explain Mississippi and the Delta to this young woman from the northeast. I told her about its rolling rivers and large trees and flat fields stretching out as far as the eye can see, how during the spring and fall the sky is a river of birds, the Mississippi Flyway. I told her how my town Greenwood has shrunk over the decades, its infrastructure decayed and crumbling, because of its allegiance to White supremacy. Rather than working with the civil rights protesters to make the Delta equitable for all individuals, the White leaders of the Delta disinvested from its schools and recreational programs, filling the public pools with concrete. They closed down the nursing program because they refused to integrate. Health care, clean air, clean water, education, mental health, community services all were sacrificed to serve the interests of the ruling class, which is currently under scrutiny for robbing welfare benefits from some of the most impoverished children in the nation. 
The hospital in my hometown is at risk of closure because the state's current governor, Tate Reeves, who spent his college years cosplaying as a Confederate with his fraternity, refuses to accept federal funding for Medicaid. You can't even drink the water in the state capital, Jackson, where I was born. In 2023."

Fox News panel justifies death threats to Stormy Daniels: 'Take the money and keep your mouth shut'

by David Edwards April 02, 2023

"Yeah, look, she got a hundred and thirty thousand dollars and never had to open her mouth about this story at all, and violated the NDA, and has made a lot of money off this instance," radio host Clay Travis said dismissively. "She's put herself into the central part of this story. I think it's awful anytime there's claims of violence or threats, but I don't think you can be surprised given the temperature in the country right now."

Political strategist Lucy Caldwell agreed.

"Yeah, I mean, if you don't want to take the ride, don't take the ride, right?" Caldwell quipped.

"That's the reality," Kurtz concluded. "Take the money and keep your mouth shut."

Well, let's not sugarcoat the whole thing right?

Eric Trump complains that New York is wasting time prosecuting his dad instead of arresting Tylenol thieves

https://boingboing.net/2023/03/31/eric-trump-complains-that-new-york-is-wasting-time-prosecuting-his-dad-instead-of-arresting-tylenol-thieves.html

"This is a city I spend a lot of time in, New York, that is falling apart," he said. "I went into literally CVS the other day, and you can't buy Tylenol because it's locked behind these glass counters, because there's so much theft and there's so much looting, there's so much homelessness and crime, but yet their attention is going after Donald Trump."

Steve - if I’m reading this right, deputy commander isn’t the same thing as commander. What is deputy commander anyway? Who deputized Clement? And why did this marriage inside prison grounds cost him his post? Leslie’s point is that the official record cannot be relied upon in this case. It’s at least a stalemate. On this you base your opinion that Fensterwald was being deliberately fed false information. 

Paul,

The marriage at the prison camp caused quite a scandal in its time. I think that Clement was removed from his position because his attendance lent the appearance of official "legitimacy" that the upper echelons of the military hierarchy frowned on.

I assume he was promoted to the position of Deputy Commander by the Commander of the IXth Military Region, but I don't know who that was.

As far as Fensterwald goes, you have to go back and read about who Gilbert Lecavalier was, and the war between SAC and the OAS back in the early 1960's.

Go back and read:

Russian Troops Given Holy Candles Not Battle Gear to Protect Them in Ukraine by Allison Quinn  Mar. 30, 2023

https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-troops-given-holy-candles-not-battle-gear-to-protect-them-in-ukraine?ref=home

"Russian draftees in the country’s Perm region have been given “protection candles” instead of much-needed equipment and told to light them in the heat of battle to “cast out evil spirits.”

“This is some xxxxed-up dooky. I’m more and more astonished by these gags. They gave such candles to everyone in the squadron. What jackass is going to light this in battle, this candle of protection? They somehow can’t issue new uniforms or combat boots on time, but distributing candles is no problem,” one soldier told local outlet Perm 36,6.

A photo he provided of one of the candles in question shows that it came with instructions featuring the Russian Orthodox cross and advice to “light the candle in battle” in order to dispel fear and make bullets “not scary”

Why the Trump Org Suddenly Fired Its Jailed Money Man’s Lawyer

“Mr. Weisselberg’s decision to change lawyers was entirely his own, a decision which I understand Mr. Weisselberg made in consultation with his family after the conclusion of the trial.”

“Cohen’s memoir, Disloyal, describes how he and Weisselberg discussed the payoff in Trump Tower just weeks before the election. Cohen recalls how Weisselberg initially suggested faking business records by running an invoice through the Trump National Golf Club outside Los Angeles or selling a Mar-a-Lago membership.

“We definitely don’t want any paper trail leading back to the Boss… if the Boss pays it and signs the check, it’s like disclosing it to the world…. it needs to come from a third-party to ensure secrecy,” Weisselberg is quoted as saying.”

This is what I have been waiting on.

In its examination of whether or not Oswald ordered the handgun and rifle, the FBI had only COPIES of those order forms. They were able to determine, without a doubt, that Oswald filled out both of those order forms. 

 

Gil,

The authorities were able to determine that Oswald had ordered a rifle in the name of Hidell because he had a Selective Service card in the name of Hidell with a Hidell signature on it in his wallet.

In his FBI Report concerning Oswald's second interview on the 23rd, James Bookhout wrote:
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=946#relPageId=647&tab=page

“With regard to Selective Service Card in the possession of Oswald bearing photograph of Oswald and the name of Alek James Hidell, Oswald admitted that he carried this Selective Service card, but declined to state that he wrote the signature of Alek J. Hidell appearing on same. He further declined to state the purpose of carrying same or any use he has made of same.”

The handwriting experts commissioned by the HSCA were not asked to analyze the signature on the Hidell Selective Service card, or to compare the signature on the rifle order form with the signature on the DeMohrenschildt rifle photo.

The HSCA submitted 63 samples from 50 documents items to handwriting experts JOSEPH P. MC NALLY and DAVID J. PURTELL and CHARLES C. SCOTT

What is not included in this batch however, is the Selective Service card in the name of Hidell.

What was not done was to compare the signatures on the Hidell Selective Service card with the signature on the rifle's postal money order.

Are you deliberately deflecting from the essence of the facts presented relating specifically to escape from lax prisons and allowed to travel through porous borders for some reason?

I could have been selective and ommitted those facts you consider in error so that you would be compelled to address the salient question.

You actually have no proof that Marton was in prison on the dates in question ... unless in the past you have posted documents I haven't seen that have been weighed carefully for authenticity to establish they're not part of a contrived paper trail.

@Steve Thomas Before outlining in detail those in authority who could effect the release or escape of recently incarcerated known assassins in 1963, the following excerpts resulting from a simple word search “escape” reflect lax prison conditions (as evidenced in the prison attire in undated photos of Lajos Marton & Laszlo Varga which have been presented in this discussion as proof they couldn’t have crossed the MX – US border), porous prison systems and international borders, and apparent weak attempts to recapture escapees . . .  [relevant phrases in bold.]         

 

·       Following their arrest, Souetre and Brousse were transferred, first to the prison de Maison Carrée in France, then back to Algeria, where they and the others arrested with them were tried before a military tribunal on December 17, 1961. The press referred to this group as Souetre’s “First Algerian Marquis.” 

Four days later, they were sentenced to three-to-four years in a detention camp at Saint Maurice l’Ardoise; however, the sentence was suspended and replaced with an administrative detention of indeterminate length. Apparently, the terms of confinement were somewhat generous because, in January 1962, Souetre was allowed to marry Josette Marcaihou of Aymeric. Four days later, they were sentenced to three-to-four years in a detention camp at Saint-Maurice l’Ardoise]. However, the sentence was suspended and replaced with an administrative detention of indeterminate length. Indeed, the camp’s commander, General Claude Clement, attended the ceremony. [under dispute.]

 

Yes, prison escapes are intriguing, but what's your point?

You wrote, "   Following their arrest, Souetre and Brousse were transferred, first to the prison de Maison Carrée in France, then back to Algeria, where they and the others arrested with them were tried before a military tribunal on December 17, 1961.

Uh, no.

Maison-Carrée is a prison in Algeria. It's about 12 miles south of Algeries on the northern coast of Algeriaon the river Harrach.

Souetre was captured in Algeria, first imprisoned in Algeria and then flown to France. The military Tribunal was in Paris.

You omitted his time in Santé.

The Camp Commandant at St. Maurice :'Aordoise was not General Clement. That is not "under dispute".

I have a social media page.

On my social media page, there is a picture of me cutting my wife up with a chainsaw and feeding her into a wood chipper. Alongside the picture is some text calling my wife an animal.

I didn't put that picture up. Somebody else did it.

And even if I did, I was only promoting American-made chainsaws and wood chippers made in America.

And besides, it's all the Fake News media's fault because they don't like me and are masters of disinformation.

I got to wondering this morning where they could incarcerate Donald Trump that could withstand a prolonged siege by a mob the size of the January 6th riot.

Robert McKeown said Ruby ‘had a whole lot of jeeps he wanted to get to Castro.’

I remember reading about this years ago.

Does anyone have any information about how many jeeps we are talking about here?

It seems like it would have to be a whole fleet of them for an entire government to be interested.

1) where did Ruby acquire a fleet of jeeps?

2) where did he store them?

3)  How did he move them?

4) In order for an arms for hostages swap to be succesful, the buyer would have have received them. Is there any evidence that Castro actually received "a whole lot of jeeps?

Trump Vows to Defeat ‘Demonic Forces’ —by Relentlessly Whining

“Then Trump praised those he views as loyalists—who haven’t left his side. Chief among them was firebrand MAGA-loving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was in the audience.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don’t want to insult you by saying this, Marjorie, but on the plane, I said, ‘People don’t realize how brilliant she is,’” Trump said—going on to praise her visits to the D.C. jail where Jan. 6 defendants remain behind bars.

“Would you like to run for the Senate?” Trump then asked in Greene’s direction. “I would fight like hell for you.”

Trump’s suggestion might surprise those around Greene, as The Daily Beast first reported that the Georgia lawmaker had made her way onto a 2024 Trump vice presidential shortlist.”
