  1. Far-right 'Moms for Liberty' group demands schools stop exposing kids to 'sexy' pictures of seahorses

    By Matthew Chapman September 24, 2021

    https://www.rawstory.com/book-banning/

     

    “On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that a far-right group in Williamson County, Tennessee, is demanding schools censor a number of books and subjects — including an unusual demand regarding pictures of marine life.”

    “Among their demands are that lessons about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ruby Bridges be cut for being divisive, lessons about civil rights crackdowns be cut for "negative views of firemen and police," and lessons about Galileo be revised for being too anti-church. The story of Johnny Appleseed was also condemned as "sad and dark," Greek and Roman mythology for depicting the goddess Venus naked, and textbooks explaining the effects of hurricanes as too violent for first graders. But one of the oddest crusades of the group is against a children's picture book on seahorses, which they believe, according to Weill, "is too sexy.""

    Galileo?

    Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

    And God, pleas don't ever make me live in Tennessee.

  2. Doctor says 'selfie wrist' injuries are on the rise

    by Rusty Blazenhoff 1:03 pm Fri Dec 28, 2018

    https://boingboing.net/2018/12/28/doctor-says-selfie-wrist-i.html

    "I'm feeling sad for humanity. "Selfie wrist" is a thing.

    According to CBSNewYork, San Francisco doctor Levi Harrison is seeing a rise in an injury caused by "hyper-flexing your wrist inwards to capture the perfect selfie angle."

    "Selfie wrist" can reportedly cause numbness and a tingling sensation that people feel in their fingers and wrists."

  3. WC testimony of Marina Oswald February 3, 1964

    http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/oswald_m1.htm

    Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever observe your husband taking the rifle away from the apartment on Neely Street?
    Mrs. OSWALD. Now, I think that he probably did sometimes, but I never did see it. You must understand that sometimes I would be in the kitchen and he would be in his room downstairs, and he would say bye-bye, I will be hack soon, and he may have taken it. He probably did. Perhaps he purely waited for an occasion when he could take it away without my seeing it.

     

    However, on March 3, 1964 Marina told FBI Agents, Wallace Heitman and Anatoly Boguslav that not only had she seen Oswald take the rifle out of the apartment in March, 1963, but that she had gone with him! This is CE1838

  4. The John McAdams witness page appears to be down. It was at:

    http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/wit.htm

    Clicking on that link now re-directs you to this site:

    Kennedy Assassination Home Page

    https://www.jfk-assassination.net/

    Unfortunately, that site does not appear to include various witness's testimony.

    I kind of liked the old site because it was done up in Word format that you could copy and paste. I also liked it because it included some Affidavits and HSCA testimony.

     

    An alternate site for Warren Commission testimony done up in some kind of copy and pasteable Word format can be found here:

    Unfortunately, it is only WC testimony.

    I didn't count how many, but I was thinking along those same lines as I was reading the testimony. All those Dallas cops there and the witnesses find the shells ? What kind of police are those ? Sounds like they couldn't find a felon in a state prison. LOL

    Gil,

    As near as I can tell, it was civilians who found all of the shells. Benevides finds two and the Davis sisters find two.

    Why are the police allowing civilians to go traipsing through the crime scene?

    https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh6/pdf/WH6_Davis.pdf

    Mrs. DAVIS. Yes, sir. And we was already outside. We thought maybe we
    could find some evidence for the police. So we went through the hedge, and
    by my front door of the apartment where we live, right there in the grass
    where he dropped them.
    Mr. BELIN. Had the police started to search around your house yet when
    they found it?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Yes ; they already started to search.

     

    Mr. BELIN. Did you see her find any other shells?
    Mrs. DAVIS. I found one after Jeanette, after all the police had gone.
    1Mr. BELIN. When did you find yours?
    Mrs. DAVIS. It was about 10 minutes after all the police had gone.
    Mr. BELIN. Was that before or after you went tlown to the police station?
    Mrs. DAVIS. It was before.
    Mr. BELIN. About when before?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Well, I would say it was about 2 :30, or 4.
    Mr. BELIN. Mrs. Davis, when did you say you found this other shell?
    Mrs. DAVIS. It was about 4.

    Mr. BELIN. Did you see or know of anyone else finding any other shell?
    Mrs. Davis. So, sir; not that I remember.
    Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what you did with your shell when you found it?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Well, before I picked it up, this boy told me that was walking
    along with us helping us find, see if we could find anything for evidence,
    he
    told me the police would get me if I picked it up by my fingers, and take finger-
    prints, and I got scared and ran to the house and got a Kleenex tissue and
    brought back outside and wrapped the shell in.
    Mr. BELIN. What did you do with it when you wrapped the shell up?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Jeanette took it and put it in her apartment up on the mantle-
    board.

     

    Mr. BELIN. Then what?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Then about 5:30 the same day the police called and wanted us
    to come down and identify him in the lineup.

     

    So, she goes out in the yard, specifically to find evidence, then after she find some, she doesn't call the police, she wraps it up and puts it on a mantle. She finds it at 4:00, but the police don't call her until 5:30.

    Who's the boy? Did he plant it?

    Mr. BELIN. How far did you get through school?
    Mrs. DAVIS. The ninth grade.
    Mr. BELIN. Have you ever been employed at all?
    Mrs. DAVIS. No.

    Mr. BELIX. How old are you?
    Mrs. D-AVIS. Sixteen.

    Mr. BELIS. Mrs. Davis, how long have you been married?
    Mrs. DAVIS. Seven months.

  6. It's not that Trump lost the election, it's that people cast terrible votes and didn't vote for him.

    Trump tries to claim vindication after his own audit shows he lost: 'Many votes were terrible, terrible votes!'

    by Brad Reed September 24, 2021

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-arizona-audit-reaction/

     

    “While appearing on the "Real America's Voice" network, Trump said that the final audit results will show that he won the state, even though he really did lose it.

    "They found many votes that were terrible, terrible votes!" Trump said. "In other words, they found that they were false votes, phantom votes, whatever you want to call them."”

     

    Poor baby.

  7. The results of the Arizona "audit" is going to be released Friday.

    What they are going to say is that because Arizona;s vote counting process is so sloppy, it's impossible to know who won the election.

    And this crap is going to go on and on and on.

    Angry dispute between Republicans roiling final Arizona 'audit' report

    Steven Rosenfeld, Independent Media Institute September 23, 2021

    https://www.rawstory.com/cyber-ninja-2655082782/

     

    “Logan, Cotton, Pullen and Ayyadurai, however, will likely cast further doubt on the county's vote counting process—as Logan and Cotton did in a July 15 briefing for Arizona legislators—even as they concede that they have no evidence showing that Trump won. Whether the Senate's lawyers and Bennett can stop the report from perpetuating conspiracy theories or making factually sloppy or unsupported claims remains to be seen.”

  9. I've had 3 thoughts:

    1) Was Lee Oswald ever seen in that theater before? I've never seen anyone say that. If he'd never been there before, what are the implications of that?

    2) The scuffle in the theater was brought about by Nick McDonald. Read his WC testimony carefully.

    3) Oswald's whole demeanor changed Saturday afternoon following a 12:30 PM interrogation that the Dallas Police did their best (but failed) to hide.

    Steve,

    That's interesting.  Can you provide more detail? 

    I've always thought Marina was intelligence connected.  Was her main job keeping an eye on Oswald?  Maybe the Soviets couldn't figure out whether Oswald was a double or triple agent.  In Russia, he had a 30 man team watching him for the KGB.  And, along comes Marina who was connected with foreigners and seemed to be involved with them prior to Oswald.  Was she sent to Oswald because he was lonely?  Or, to watch him?

    John.

    Someone once described Oswald as a useful idiot.

    That's always been my take too.

    Read this FBI file on Lydia Dymitruk

    FBI - HSCA Subject File: Lydia Dymitruk, girlfriend of Alexaner Kleinlerer https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=129757#relPageId=1&search=Alexander_Kleinlerer

     

    See how much it mirrors Marina Oswald. They marry a guy from over here in the U.S., get the guy to bring them over here, and then divorce them. Think about what Marina was doing with Lee throughout 1962. They were separated almost as soon as they arrived back in Fort Worth from Russia.

    As far as the geologists and geological engineers go,

    I wrote this in the Education Forum back on 1/20/19:

    Everett DeGolyer

    http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/memoir-pdfs/degolyer-everette.pdf

     

    He lived to be honored by the highest elective offices and to be awarded the highest decorations of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. He was a lecturer much sought after, filled distinguished positions at three universities, and was awarded honorary degrees by six. Nine or more United States Government agencies, commissions, advisory boards, and committees called on him for service which he generously contributed. This combination logically made his advice much sought after in business, and he was for many years the world's leading oil consultant. The opinion of his firm, DeGolyer and MacNaughton, on an appraisal of the worth of a property or a company was accepted as final in financial and government circles the world around. This firm was at one time or another consultant to ten or more foreign governments on subjects ranging from organizing exploration programs to the proper price for oil F.O.B. tankers in the Persian Gulf.”

    As would be expected of a man of such outstanding reputation, his services were called for by the Federal Government. Starting in 1918 with a special report for the United States Treasury, he became in 1941 Director of Conservation in the Office of the Coordinator for National Defense and Assistant Deputy Coordinator in 1942. The following year he was first made Assistant Deputy Administrator for War, and then head of the Petroleum Reserves Corporation mission to the Middle East. He was a member of the Advisory Committee on Raw Materials for the Atomic Energy Commission, and filled many other important positions. He served on the National Petroleum Council from its beginning.”

    Lately, I've become interested in the role that uranium mining might play in the JFK story. I'm not a geologist, but uranium deposits seem to be found near oil fields. I lived in the Rangely, CO. area for a while, so I had a personal interest in DeMohrenschildt's comings and goings there. When I read that D.H. Byrd sold his interests in Byrd Oil and used the money to found Byrd Uranium, my ears perked up. Whey would a person give up the lucrative money of big oil to invest in uranium? You have to figure that in the later 50's and early 60's, uranium would have to be a pretty hot commodity. It struck me a while back that a lot of the key figures in the White Russian Community in the Dallas/Fort Worth area were not just "oil men", but were engineers in the petroleum field, and specialized in the exploration of oil deposits around the world. (Think Jack Crichton and George Bouhe among others.

    They also seemed to have ties to military intelligence."

    "Mr. BOUHE - For 9 1/2 years I was employed as a personal accountant of a very prominent Dallas geologist, and probably capitalist if you want to say it, Lewis W, MacNaughton, senior chairman of the board of the well-known geological and engineering firm of DeGolyer & MacNaughton, but I was MacNaughton's personal employee."

    Nolte: Howard Stern Proves Democrats Want Unvaccinated Trump Voters Dead

    by John Nolte 10 Sep 2021
    https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2021/09/10/nolte-howard-stern-proves-democrats-want-unvaccinated-trump-voters-dead/
     

    “Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.

    Nothing else makes sense to me.

    In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?

    If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, xxxx you, I’m never getting vaccinated!

    And why is that a perfectly human response? Because no one ever wants to feel like they are being bullied or ridiculed or mocked or pushed into doing anything.”

     

    “The push for mandates is another ploy to get us to dig in and not do what’s best for ourselves because no one wants to feel like they’re caving to a mandate.”

     

    “No one wants to cave to a piece of dooky like that, or a scumbag like Fauci, or any of the scumbags at CNNLOL, so we don’t. And what’s the result? They’re all vaccinated, and we’re not! And when you look at the numbers, the only numbers that matter, which is who’s dying, it’s overwhelmingly the unvaccinated who are dying, and they have just manipulated millions of their political enemies into the unvaccinated camp. “

     

    “I could be wrong.

    Maybe the left isn’t that evil and sly.

    Even if this isn’t the left’s plan, who’s owning who?”

    Steve - is there any evidence that Marina pursued this or any other technologies? She seems very unsuited for intelligence work. And her US ties were among the White Russian community. I think it’s likely she was serving some role, or the Soviets at least hoped so, but that it had to do with her husband, who for the Soviets must have been quite an enigma. 

    Paul,

    I don't know if Marina was supposed to receive information from someone, or to pass along information to someone else. I would say White Russians, yes, but if you look at their backgrounds, they were all geologists, or geological engineers. And who made contact with Marina almost immediately upon her arrival in Fort Worth?

    Max Clark.

    MEMO: THE LEE HARVEY OSWALD CASE #351164 (ADDRESS BOOK)

    biography of Max Clark Maxwell Edward Clark

    https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=9836&relPageId=3

    “Max Edward Clark was employed by Convair, a division of General Dynamics Corporation, Fort Worth, Texas, as a “Supervisor of Industrial Security and Investigation”, requiring access to classified matter up to and including, Top Secret”.

    Now, you tell me.

    Communists or White Russians, that's all superfluous. In the early 1960's, the Russians had two main interests: space flight, and atomic bombs. The rest is all just background noise.

    Steve Thomas

  13. It has long been my privately held belief that the reason for Marina's whirlwind romance, marriage, and approval to emigrate to the United States was because the Soviets wanted to get Marina to the U.S. in general, and Fort Worth specifically because of its connection to the aerospace industry.

    I have been puzzled by Marina's suitors seemingly being connected to the field of plastics. Wasn't there a guy before Lee Oswald, and wasn't he connected to plastics - and specifically to spray nozzles?

    Also, Alexander Kleinlerer was smitten with her and visited her at Lorena Hall's while she and Lee H. were separated in 1962.

    People in Alabama are dying faster than they are being hospitalized.

  15. Just to be a smartass, I suppose I would have asked the kid if he was wondering about the northernmost point on the earth, or if he was wondering about the North Pole in the sky. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the North Pole shifts every 26,000 years or so.

    https://www.glyphweb.com/esky/concepts/northerncelestialpole.html

    "Polaris hasn't always been the Pole Star. In fact, it has only been close to the Pole for the last thousand years or so, and over the next millennium it will gradually move further away. This is because the Earth's motion is constantly affected by the pull of other bodies in the Solar System, especially the Moon and the Sun, which causes a 'wobble' in its orbit. This, in turn, causes the Pole to move relative to the stars.

    Prominent Pole Stars

    c.3000 BCE

    Thuban

    c.1000 BCE

    Kochab

    c.2000 CE

    Polaris

    c.3000 CE

    Errai

    c.7500 CE

    Alderamin

    c.14000 CE

    Vega

    The effect of this wobble (properly called precession) is that both Celestial Poles follow a broad circle through the sky. For most of the time, there is no Pole Star at all, but occasionally the Pole will pass near a conspicuous star - we are lucky to live in a time when Polaris fulfils this role. For the ancient Egyptians, the Pole Star was not Polaris, but Thuban in Draco, while observers in the far future will see yet other stars at the Northern Celestial Pole."

    Ed,

    In his WC testimony,

    WC testimony of George Bouhe March 23, 1964

    http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/bouhe.htm

    George Bouhe told the Warren Commission that back in 1962, he thought that Oswald had told him that he (Oswald) had moved into the Carlton boarding house.

    "Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know where he moved when he checked out of the YMCA?
    Mr. BOUHE - At some point thereabouts he threw at me when I asked, "Where do you live now?" He gave me, if I recall correctly, a name of the Carlton boarding house on Madison Avenue, but it proved to be wrong."

    Once upon a time, someone, (and I'm sorry I can't remember who) sent me a clipping from the Want Ad section from one of the Dallas newspapers that showed an room for rent advertisement from Mary Bledsoe's house on Marsalis directly above an ad from the Carlton Boarding House.

    I've kicked myself because I didn't keep a copy of that Want Ad page.

    I've wondered if Oswald got the idea to look for places to rent in the Want Ad section of the paper, or if Geprge Bouhe got the idea from there to give to the Warren Commission.

    Steve Thomas

    I thought I had forgotten to save the want ad I was referring to, but this morning, I ran across it in my notes on George Bouhe. I don't remember who sent it to me, or what paper this came out of. It doesn't show an ad for a Marsalis address next to the Carleton-Madison Hotel on Madison, but an ad for the Beckley St. address. This re-inforces my belief that Bouhe was lying to the Warren Commission in 1964. I think that George Bouhe got the idea from there to give to the Warren Commission.

  17. COVID ravages the Republican Party as 21 out of 23 most infected states voted for Trump

    by Sarah K. Burris September 12, 2021

    https://www.rawstory.com/ravages-republican-trump-states/

    “Last week, the hashtag "GOPDeathCult" was trending on social media as Republican governors continued to refuse to take precautions to keep their states safe. The recent COVID-19 numbers now show that out of the 23 worst states for the virus in the country, 21 of them voted for Donald Trump in the last election. “

    “The chain of correlation makes it "much harder to assert that politics is not playing a role," wrote the Post's correspondent Philip Bump. “

    “Read the full piece at The Washington Post. “
