Ramon F. Herrera

Hello everyone.   :-)

I would like to place a phone call to our fearless leader   :-)  founder of the Educational Forum, John Simkin.

Is he in England?

TIA,

-Ramon

We are the ones they would first seek judgement against and we have no defence against what you want to do. We would be culpable for allowing you to post such copyright material on our site.

James.

James:

The material has NEVER and will NEVER be posted in "your" site. We participants cannot even place one single picture over here.There are a gazillion links to the naked pictures of Scarlett Johansson all over the Internet. She only went after the real (not pretend, like the Ed Forum wants to be) hosting sites. For starters, she would be attacking her main possession: her loyal fans. It would be counterproductive at the level of career ending move, suicidal. I guess the Ed Forum has no such qualms.

I am beginning to conclude that the reaction of this site (actually, one and half moderators) has very little to do with copyrights.

Dear readers: Can you see now what I meant when I claimed to be interested in The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth? I always added:

     "It is not easy, there will be consequences. It can be painful and rejected. It is a lot easier to remain silent".

Those who choose The Truth can suffer worse consequences than being silenced with a telephone cord:

-Ramon

ps: Kathy: I renew my profuse thanks for your hard work. Your intervention so far has been very professional. Keep up the good work!

James: This is quite a disappointment. Is this the official position of its founder, John Simpkin, a very respected person in the JFK community?

So Disney and YouTube have no problem but you do.

I thought this was an Educational resource Silly me.

When JFK Numbers claim to be affiliated with The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth, you (James Gordon) are clearly not on board.

Are you sure you understand America at all? Over here, people are considered INNOCENT until proven otherwise.

Just to continue our educational experience. Here's an hypothetical. Suppose that in a month Disney decides to ban the video (the same one that YOU and only YOU have decided to ban well in advance). I can post it in some YouTube wanna be and it is THEM and ME who would be liable. Webmasters are NOT required to follow all links to see whether they lead to some material that YOU deem illegal.

"Copyright

It shouldn't be surprising that similar legal issues surround the online posting and distribution of copyrighted materials. The content providers (the performers, writers, artists, and retailers) want to protect their copyrighted materials. Many website operators also want to abide by copyright laws, but they're concerned about new laws that could stifle the dynamic growth of the Internet.

Online bulleting boards make it especially easy for someone to upload a song, story or image to a bulletin board. The bulletin board operator then stores the digital file, and someone can come along and download the file. Generally, the bulletin board operator is liable for violations of copyright laws.

Kathy:

The last thing that I would like to do in my life is to get into a dispute with you. However, this is the Education Forum and we are in the middle of a learning experience. A precedent must be set.

The main duty of any forum is toward its SUBSCRIBERS and to its declared principles. The text above seems to show a higher duty to non-subscribers, based on interpretation of the law by laymen.

Speaking of violations of law, moral, ethics and patriotism: How about murdering a president, like a dog on a street? How about our beloved and respected media (aka copyright owners) being active participants in covering up of a five-decade old crime? I am sure that I am not the only one who wished that we focused on such lack of justice.

Cheers, shalom and thanks for your hard work.

-Ramon

ps: The main issue is moot, anyway. See here:

Let me see if I understand this correctly. You posted a video on YouTube that was nothing but a clip from the Gray's Anatomy TV show and you're surprised that you got a copyright strike?

Hi John, long time no see:

I am a little surprised because of the following. Take a look at the contents of the JFK Numbers channel.

      https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAE2K90XWbLWWEwEP5tfobw

I do wholesale copying from Cheers and Frasier with no attribution. As soon as I posted them, I got a nice notice:

    "Includes copyrighted content, it may be subject to advertising".

If you click in my Cheers or Frasier videoclips, you get an offer to buy the full episode.  [top right, info]

The way I see it, I am working for free for the copyright owners.

Welcome to the new economy.

Thanks for always questioning me. I wish more readers had your interest (actually cojones is a more sincere term) in:

     Dare to Speak Truth to Power (real or claimed).

Ramon, It's a dangin' copyright violation, and threatening to publish it anyway may create legal problems for you as well as whoever hosts it.

Please do not publish it here.

Hi Kathy:

All I have posted here in the Education Forum is a link to:

 - The notice from YouTube

 - My dispute

They are 100% legal.

Incidentally: It is not the duty of forum administrators to verify copyright violations. I hereby assume full responsibility.

Let's not forget that any forum which claims to be related to Education (or journalism) has a duty to:

    Dare to Speak Truth to Power

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Jim Di, e-chief:

The Kennedys and King article, first draft is ready. As soon as I get home, I will re-check for spellings, etc. and e-mail it to you.

For the nth. time, may you and your readers receive my profuse apologies.

Thanks for keeping me honest.

-Ramon

Some of you may be aware of the formal compromise of JFK Numbers:

 - Our ultimate superiors are The People

Plus, our fundamental principle:

  - The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth in the Kennedy murder case, based on NUMBERS.

With that in mind, our esteemed founder:

  Coach Ernie Herrera

prepared a video sequence taken from a "Grey's Anatomy" episode.

   We Are Not Even Tweeting the Time of Day

The idea was to show brilliant, yet old-fashioned doctor Richard Webber:

    Doctor Richard Webber

as an amalgamation of:

 - Arthur Snyder
 - Luke and Michael Haag
 - Cyril Wecht [my Pope]
 - Gary Aguilar [my mentor]
 - Joseph Riley
 - Pat Speer
 - Peter Cummings
 - John Costella
 - David Mantik
 - Michael Chesser
 - Randolph Robertson [my mentor]
 - G. Paul Chambers
 - Stewart Galanor
 - Anthony Marsh
 - Robert Harris
 - AARC Library

  [Feel free to contribute to the list above ]

I think that this being The Education Forum, and with the recent tendency of the Kennedy case to move into the realm of science and technology (*), most of us should get an account in LinkedIn.

Happy 4th. of July, everyone!

Wait a minute ...   Hmm, is it proper to send condolences, or some other empathetic expression to the British in the audience?      :-)

Bill Clinton would certainly say: "I feel your pain".

I am just simulating an actual post ...  Can I place some spaces to the left of the image, in order to center it?

and so forth, blah, blah, blah, But -as usual- I digress, more yadda, yadda, yadda, and here's another image, with padded spaces:

The Ed Forum does not have to worry about disk space, since I am hosting the images in my own server ($6/month, 1and1.com).

I guess it works now. Next I am going to edit some of my posts so readers can see the images, sans click, in all their glory.

Thank you for qualifying sir.  Please continue with elucidation regarding the mock trial.  A serious attempt at an approximation of the circumstances by qualified individuals is appreciated by some.

Ron: the 2 words from your semi-cryptic post that I underscored above got me thinking.

This is a cornerstone issue: What exactly do we mean when we use the terms "serious" and "qualified"?

Please take a look at the following post:

      Should a serious activist use the word "glottis"?

Make sure to read the follow ups, all the way to the post where the word "glottis" is utilized.

Question: Do you consider those posts to be coming from a serious and qualified individual?

TIA (and cheers!),

ps: Let me close with one of my guiding principles, in my life and in the JFK case, specially since in recent years I have made a binding commitment ("With Your Humble Servant, you are getting The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth") to my ultimate bosses and e-bosses, The People:

    "Those who are worried to offend are not interested in The Truth"

54 minutes ago, Lawrence Schnapf said:

to others on the forum, "boss" is a term of affectionate that Ramon uses. He is not an employee of me or Jeff Morley.

I also call Jim Di, 'e-chief'. Additionally, since you were MIA for a while (I gather that busy rubbing elbows with crème de la crème among Manhattanites) I designated Dr. Gary Aguilar as your (as it tuned out, temporary, now complementary) replacement. Despite the fact that he (like Oliver Stone, Joseph Riley and Doug Horne) is in lurking, read-only mode, last Friday he and I spent a pleasant evening exchanging e-mails. He graciously accepted his new appointment.

I don't know what Ramon is referring to about an Alec Baldwin  fundraiser in NY. Ramon likes to be provocative at times.

I stand corrected, e-boss!

So the role of Baldwin is only to inform people about the November Trial? To bring the MSM who otherwise won't touch any JFK news with a 100-ft pole?

Is this a mock trial or a convention? How do you have a keynote speaker at a mock trial?

Hi Pat:

The Mock Trial of Lee will be here in Houston in November, but we will obviously need some money.

I have been exaggerating to my LN detractors -as usual, some have become buddies- in the JFK Assassination Forum that the money is for my 3 pet projects. See my comment below, it drives them nuts  :-)  A little controversy/scandal and boisterous chest thumping always attracts eyeballs and clicks, ask a valuable resource such as the National Enquirer, exploited by none other than Gaeton Fonzi (I discovered it in the non-published parts of the audio from his old cassette recorder that Marie sent me).

But I digress... Larry has been concerned about my "edgy" style in forumland, since he is a formal high power NYC attorney.

    Larry Schnapf, Big Shot Manhattan Layer

The events with Alec Baldwin will be soon, in Manhattan, just to kick off the fundraising. There are unconfirmed rumors of a Crowd Funding effort.

I keep on asking -in public and private- whether Oliver Stone is still a player. Wecht junior tells me that he is. Other than that, all I know is that Oliver is Cc:d in many of the private message that I receive. He and Amazon are the only ones who have made a pile of money from the case. I intend to loudly remind the giant bookseller about that fact. Dare to Speak Truth to Power.

-Ramon

[The following is kidding, Larry. Half kidding, anyway:]

[Baldwin:] "Don't spend it all in one place, Ramon!"

[JFK Numbers:] "Don't worry, Alec. I will spend it in THREE places."

Need Help Getting 3 LinkedIn Groups Started

Ah! Got a reply! I was afraid I was losing my touch ...

The purpose was to "warm up" the crowds for you, respected e-boss. Like the almost famous bands that play before the Rolling Stones.

    Almost Famous

As I suspected, the McAdamites know rather well that any interaction with me is frowned upon. Posters have said that, in the public newsgroup. They have been ostracized for daring to ask whether my "banning" was true. As usual, can provide the evidence.

The posters in that -THE original JFK forum- are either very loyal/attentive to the writing on the wall, sedated or both. How is it possible that an event of that magnitude, where We The People from forumland are protagonists, not to mention Trump's TV nemesis, passed under the door of such opinionated crowd?

Perhaps the official announcement -signed by you or some McAdamite insider- will defeat their lethargy? David Von Pein dares to post elsewhere without penalties, but then again he is a LN.

The upcoming authoritative article about my NARA incursion (did you know about Newsweek article where Jeff and Rex mention my handy work?) for Kennedys and King starts with my experience chez McAdams and continues at JFK Facts. Next, I met Bill Kelly, CAPA and you.

-Ramon

Congratulations, Larry!!

(shameless self-interest): Does this mean that you can now embark in writing the tome that I suggested to you in private?   :-)

Seriously, I have been looking for a numerically oriented author.  Galanor is not even responding my e-mails/calls, after Debra Coway graciously gave me his contact numbers :-(

Another perfect candidate, Stanford's Arthur Snyder seems to have been absconded by the Military Industrial Complex of which Ike warned us.

ps: See how now this has become a JFK thread? (no punting, Kathy). I have a Master's degree on that.

On 7/2/2017 at 0:10 AM, James DiEugenio said:

There is some new material in this one, but the point I am trying to make is similar.  Chomsky passed on the JFK case even though he believed in it and decided to take part in the Vietnam protests when were much more prevalent and must more popular.

He later decided to turn on those who thought like he did once, that JFK was killed as part of a plot.  And he declared war on them, without ever telling anyone, as far as I know, that he had been convinced of their cause previously.  

IMO, there is a definite advantage to this career wise.  For instance, Cockburn would never have been allowed to be a columnist with the Nation, or the LA Times, if he had advocated for a plot in the JFK case.

Jim:

I keep on arriving to the same conclusions, again and again. Every time people in forums (Deplorables, mostly) asked me:

"Ramon, what does xyz have to do with the Latinos in the US (or about JFK, a subject that even my Liberal buddies in forums avoid with fear)?"

I wise-assly replied:

Quote

"Oh, I happen to have a Master's degree on

     CHANGING THE TOPIC TO WHATEVER SUITS MY NEEDS

... a PhD is in progress."

With that caveat in mind, let me elaborate on something that I have mentioned, in passing, to you in private. We BADLY need more fluid, readily available access to the media. We must make a concerted effort. Look how much struggle it took for the Archives incursion -my mischief- to be (finally!) mentioned in Newsweek and ONLY in the web version. Cannot send the magazine paper issue to my mom back home  :-(. The piece was hidden deep inside their website, at that. Not quite the predicted "bombshell", was it?

See for instance, Demetri Terzopoulos (details in next post, a heretofore confidential set of e-mails). Ideally, some Gaeton type of stubborn, hard-nosed, tough investigative journalist should interview him:

"Doctor Terzopoulos: There are some people (JFK Numbers) who claim that you may have solved the crime of the century, and that you don't even know it."

[Terzopoulos will be startled at this point, intrigued]

"You have developed the first realistic model of the human body's head and upper torso, for movie animation.:

  (1) "Can your research be fine-tuned in order to determine whether the victim's violent snap was caused by external forces or by his own muscles?

"and, most importantly...

  (2) "Do you have what it takes, the wherewithal to grab that task by the horns? ... [perhaps, "cojones", appealing at his manhood could be added here]. The reason my readers ask this is because your connections with the Military Industrial Complex are well known. It is right there, in your web page. Your research is sponsored by the DoD and the CIA, for starters".

Quote

"His research has received funding from the NSF, DOD, DARPA, IARPA, CIA, US Army "

    Terzopoulos Web Page

Well, Jim, the same applies to professor Chomsky. Somebody should drill him, about his historically changing positions on the crime. Perhaps Kirk Gallaway could attempt an encore?

Ramon,

If you read my essay, the time period was 1968-69 when Ray Marcus arranged his visits and then visited Chomsky twice in Boston. And CHOmsky was convinced at that time JFK was killed in a plot.

I read it months ago (last year?) when you first published it, chief. Then again, let me double check.

-Ramon

By the way: Doctor Aguilar tells me that one of the witnesses in the Mock Trial of Lee, here in Houston, in addition to himself and Mantik (?) will be Tanenbaum.

Quote

Hi Ramon,

At the mock trial in Houston, it'll be Robert Tanenbaum, Cyril Wecht, Tink Thompson ("Six Seconds in Dallas"), me and perhaps one or two others. I'll have to check.

 

I'm often free after work in the evenings, Pacific coast time, and on weekends. But please do text me beforehand and we can talk.
