Trump reveals new details about $1 billion in earnings in revised filing https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/13/donald-trump-financial-disclosure/?wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3a905ab%2F64b01ddb68007b638ba0404f%2F646f594f44d19211b692299e%2F23%2F72%2F64b01ddb68007b638ba0404f

From someone whose had a lot of disagreements with the mods in the last 6 months. I agree with Matt that your charge of political bias is just plain wrong. They're 2 sides to everything. My most recent problem with the mods was that the JFKA forum was being spammed by Rfk Jr. for President enthusiasts. Then it was brought to the spammers attention. Then they hid it in news events such as the JFKA files,then starting a thread quoting RFK Jr. saying that "RFK Jr. fears for his life" and then still Di Eugenio would come out with a thread announcing "RFK Jr's next speech", and I was wondering. "Is this going to be a permanent fixture in the JFKA forum."? Is this now going to become an RFK Jr. fanboy forum? My first suggestion to the mods was to make one dedicated RFK Jr. thread. It didn't happen. Since the real purpose of all these threads was just to promote RFK Jr's Presidency many times under some JFKA distant relevancy. I thought I'd just come out and make a thread entitled "Nobody whose anybody wants to kill Rfk Jr. --RFK on the issues", where I produce a video of a "Breaking Points" interview with RFK and critique his responses to questions involving his stand on the issues. In it I issue a disclaimer saying that " I''ve been a good boy and tried not to bring politics out into the JFKA forum, and I understand posting with such a title, I'll probably get my thread pulled, but give me 2 days." Fair enough, a couple of days later it was pulled by the mods and I was told I was "spamming" non JFKA topics by a mod who reacted to my title and hadn't read my disclaimer that I expected it to be pulled. But no big deal. It was really done as a mild protest, but it was by far the most substantive, least fanboy thread on RFK Jr to date here. But unfortunately, among the RFK Jr. fans here, there was only one intelligent response, and I should point out that was Roger, standing out among the jeers.. I took no offense at having my thread pulled. I expected it. Even though a few very pro Rfk Jr., well labelled threads were allowed to continue. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and realize you're taking up a lot of time from people who may not be perfect, but are offering their services to you and the rest of us. It's just "grace."

I'm reaffirming to you that I agree that is not "lucid" but very sloppy language. I'm not sure about that. Has he ever really been an expert on the JFKA until relatively recently? I understand he has to explain his assertion that the CIA killed his uncle. I might be wrong but I see him as a guy whose learned most of this from books. Didn't we personally live through these events ourselves, and form our own opinions? Why was he silent about it for 50 years? I'm just saying I wouldn't expect him to be an expert. I do find the Kennedy family half century handling of this very spooky. I can understand the elders at first instructed the kids not to communicate with the press. But they died a long time ago! Kids grow up, for chrissake! I'm astonished at the lack of curiosity by all of them and the "news blackout" of over 50 years! By that criterion , certainly the RFKJr.campaign and the Deep state covers his vaccination views later in the interview as he attributes the covid vaccine pandemic to a "deep state" government response. And to that end. I know you since you take a lot of license, you'll approve of this Ben. In fighting the Government Medical establishment Deep state. RK Jr. hosted this Health Policy event last week! In the the "Breaking points" interview RK said that one of the first things he'd do as President would be to appoint completely different people to public health posts. I assume these people might be anti vaxxers and I fear they could actually be from this group he brought together. This group includes Sheri Tenpeeny who first said that by the end of 2022 there would be a "tsunami' of deaths of people who took the covid vaccine! She's still sticking to this story, and telling us we were going to "drop dead like flies." What's very unsettling is that RK would pick such a person to his Health Policy event. Isn't he aware she's been making these claims for a year and a half now? And her "tsunami of death" due dates have long since past!

So we're actually hinting about having a critical conversation about RK?. I tried to engage you guys about RK on his issues. And I got one person who engaged in a conversation and then a couple of others who were outraged I disrupted the ongoing 5 thread pro RK echo chamber. But I know the actual issues are boring to a lot of people. Paul: No other candidate in my memory puts themselves out there as long as he does without script, No Trump does, he started it. But Trump just makes outrageous stuff up but RK is just plain sloppy. Do you think the average person who watches him in this interview circuitously backpedal for 2 minutes at every question finds that entertaining? Or is any more impressed with that than Friedman? Does he really come off convincing to you? RK:, over 300,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died and 30,000 Russians. Pirghozin said a "1000 Russians die a day." I think they're equally as credible. RK. We've spent 8 trillion dollars on the war in Ukraine! We know Trump's not serious, and his followers will follow him anyway. Do you think a serious candidate is permitted too many of those mistakes? And yet when he's called on it, won't his followers say the same thing the MAGA people say. It's "Operation Mockingbird", He's just being persecuted unfairly by the MSM?!

Good articles--- Doug and W.! I posted this as a link in another thread. As it turned out I misspoke. RK Jr. hosted this Health Policy event last week. In the the "Breaking points" interview RK said that one of the first things he'd do as President would be to appoint completely different people to public health posts. I assume these people might be anti vaxxers and I fear they could actually be from this group he brought together. This group includes Sheri Tenpeeny who first said that by the end of 2022 there would be a "tsunami' of deaths of people who took the covid vaccine! She's still sticking to this story. She was probably the source for Barnard who was spreading his alarmist fantasies to us over a year ago telling us we were going to "drop dead like flies." What's very unsettling is that RK would pick such a person to his Health Policy event. Isn't he aware she's been making these claims for a year and a half now? And her "tsunami of death" due dates have long since past?

To follow up on my first post to Roger, about the threat of the BRIC nations establishing their own currency to the dollar. All I can say is that's going to be a long time coming. The reason, I hate to sound so cynical is because Money talks, Bullsh-t walks! A good indication of how effective something is, is how many people are willing to put their own money behind it. Along that line, some of the most savvy odds makers are in Las Vegas. These are the Vegas odds at this time for the winner of the 2024 Presidential election. Interesting stuff. JOE BIDEN 44 DONALD TRUMP 29 GAVIN NEWSOME 15 RON DeSANTIS 15 KAMALA HARRIS 4 I know I'm asking, first Newsome isn't even running but is probably one of Biden's most vocal supporters. I assume because if something should happen to Biden's health and he chooses not to run, I think Newsome is trying to get Biden to declare an open field rather than just do the customary choice of picking his VP running mate. Also where's RK? You'd think he would have scored a higher probability than Kamala Harris, but then they're probably taking in account that Biden could win and then become incapacitated or die while he was President elect. As for the odds on who will get the Democratic nomination. BIDEN 68 NEWSOME 18 KENNEDY 12 Barring some exogenous event, I'd be surprised if RFK gets above his previous high in the low 20's, if he ever got there.

"CIA killed JFK without a doubt" -- Jack Dorsey
Kirk Gallaway replied to Karl Kinaski's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Karl: there are 2 possibilities. Oh let me get out my pen and get this down! RFK Jr. is your next president Boy I don't think so. Karl: the Jfk riddle will be solved. Because the CIA was thorough to fully document their hand in the JFKA and leave a smoking gun because Tucker says so? I hate to say it but even apart from that, it looks like there' never be a smoking gun. IMO Karl: there will be an end of US warmongering all over the world How would you ever make that connection?. Is that based on anything? Karl:or something will happen RFK jr and then the US country will go to hell. I see Whew! Karl i can only assume you're a person whose had many of his dreams throughout his life dashed, and rather than revise your thinking and modify your inputs, it will always come back to the culprits being those Americans with their "deep state". Right? Have you ever even been to the U.S.? And yet you retain this worshiping of U.S. billionaires that you thought this was at all significant? So why is anything Jack Dorsey says significant to you? You're certainly more in awe of billionaires than the typical American, who resents them. I assume this has been because we've done such a good job of mind muddling . So thorough is our control ,that all we have to do is utter is "CIA" and "American exceptionalism" and we win the psychological war without even firing a shot. Karl, Do you realize the EU is much more regulatory on internet commerce than the U.S. and yet it's of no interest to you to keep yourself out of 1984 but you seem to vicariously live out your citizenship through the U.S.? Up to now, Internet governance in the U.S. has been described as everything from a "privatized model" to a "hands off internet approach". The reality is in Congress both parties complain about the internet but only about each parties specific issues. So they've never gotten any legislation together. The EU have historically been far more willing to embrace internet regulation than in the United States and have taken firm stands against Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. If you hear billionaires like Dorsey talk about it. All of that regulation is a detriment to "free speech." It's the billionaires that have sucked you into this absolutist free speech model because they fear being sued by governments in the future. -
Come on Ben, you most of all should know Garland's got a lot on his plate. Beyond what Jonathan says, staying up all night trying to conjure up phony charges against Trump. He's also: Protecting Ray Epps and the FBI from their role of starting the 1/6 riots! Protecting Hunter Biden, which I think we all know now includes offing that informant that Comer can no longer find. That's not as easy to do as you might think!

"CIA killed JFK without a doubt" -- Jack Dorsey
Kirk Gallaway replied to Karl Kinaski's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Exactly Leslie, but it's too late now. We're reaching the same point we did with Trump years back. His followers are not going to hold him responsible for anything he says. -
the latest moving of a thread
Kirk Gallaway replied to Roger Odisio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Larry , there is a backstory of sorts. Where I come from there are people who refer to the Golden State Warriors as "the Dubs". I thought it only appropriate that I occasionally, affectionately refer to W. as "Dubs" as he is truly a Warrior and we both have an admiration for Steve Kerr and Stephan Curry. But of course now as I predicted before the semifinals, his Denver Nuggets are now the Champs! -
the latest moving of a thread
Kirk Gallaway replied to Roger Odisio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Good questions Dubs, I'll attempt to give you his answers and non answers, though I'm sure Larry won't have the time to ask him every question. W: Surely, RFK,Jr. disagrees with Trump rolling back over 100 environmental regulations and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, doesn't he? Yes, he disagrees, but his most recent statements are cause for concern. It would be interesting to ask him what he thinks of the Paris Climate Accords. W. Does RFK,Jr. agree with Trump's 2017 multi-trillion dollar tax cut for corporations and billionaires? No he doesn't W. His efforts to sabotage Obamacare? No he doesn't W. His withdrawal from the international Iranian nuclear disarmament treaty? A little tricky, but I don't think he does. W. His reactionary right wing SCOTUS appointments? Oh I know he doesn't like that. His efforts to overturn the 2020 election? It would be interesting to hear in depth, what he says about 1/6. My guess is that he'd play it real milquetoast. About Trump's other attempts to overthrow the election, some of which are currently in the courts. He'll just say he doesn't want to comment on an ongoing case. Total non answers, but no "But if". The point I'm making is if you pose these questions separately , most of his answers would be no. But he's showing no courage and playing the political game and hoping to hell people don't ask him these questions. His attitude is that since the Trump voter is not into specifics or issues, why bring them up at all? But he underestimates the damage it will do to his capturing the Democrat base. He's actually attacking Democrat voters from the right. How it that going to work? -
New Fred Litwin Article on Morley
Kirk Gallaway replied to W. Tracy Parnell's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I agree with you in principle Pat. But that's quite a stretch, plotting for the overthrow and perhaps assassination of Castro while trying to make nice with him? Some would find going to that extreme rather duplistic. But I do agree with you. I wouldn't put that beyond him. In fact, I think that's exactly what he did. JFK has been made into a Catholic Saint here on the forum, with a high moral character.. I think JFK was a very smart guy who was somewhat amoral, (not immoral!) person and a cold pragmatist. He was going to play whatever angle he could, and pursue the one that yielded results, either actual results or political results. However he could see that his perceived triumph in the Cuban Missile Crisis afforded him an opportunity to go to the head cheese, and make further overtures with his AU speech to Khrushchev and the Soviet Union to defuse the situation in Cuba. With all the expected accolades to JFK from those in his cabinet. It always comes off so smoothed over, and they always portray JFK as this iconic figure, with very little real insight IMO. I don't think anybody, outside of his brother really knew him. And I haven't seen any evidence in tape conversations, despite being different people, that Bobby has ever discussed with JFK the motivations behind why he acts the way he does. Which doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just my take. Greg brings up the possibility that such a settlement would involve a mutual agreement to get rid of Castro. I'm not sure JFK considered that politically essential because I don't think it was. JMO Pat:As far as "re-sinking the Maine", that is not a reference to a Northwoods like operation, where innocents would be killed. It's a reference to taking advantage of a propaganda opportunity, should one arise. Kinda like LBJ did with the Gulf of Tonkin incident. But just his mentioning the Sinking of the Maine doesn't inspire my confidence. Gulf of Tonkin? Yikes! -
You're making assumptions of "horrible stuff" But that's only because you're buying the Tucker Kool Aid. I don't. ."Rolled" ? That's deliberately vague. Do you think Stone could explain that further.? Why would Stone necessarily know more than us? Yes Trump did change. But it's not like we could always depend on him to keep his promises.Could we? His followers don't. He didn't release UFO info either. (and now we're getting a little more, under Biden?....hmmm a joke) Trump may have just got impatient and bored. Hard to know. Yes, that's true. But we don't need to keep beating a dead horse about that. How about, they both failed us?, and we're not sure of each reason?

Oh, yes John I'm so into this! It's my least favorite holiday. There's no impetus to get together with my family. So I generally just hide out! heh heh It's interesting your post reminds me of similar Brit posts by Barnard. Barnard once warned W. 3 years back that W. was about to lose at least half of everything he owned in the coming crash! Very comforting! About that same time. He also said people like me who took the spike protein covid vaccine were all going to die within 2 years! In contrast I applaud your mercy at wishing us only a heartbreak that would be the result of something similar to Barnard but not specific about the cause, which is more comforting. I suppose the only prim and proper thing to do would be for us to shrivel in shame and apologize for our existence as did the other colonies? I think that merchant ship has sailed! heh heh But back to Barnard's breaking the bad news that 100's of millions of us are going to die of the spike protein covid vaccine. RFK Jr. only last week attended a conference of the foremost proponents of that theory who are still saying this in their speeches 3 years later, including Sheri Tenpenny who, in a speech below, predicts a tsunami of deaths that are happening right now! I don't want to soil this thread with another RK post. So I won't expand it. I'll just leave the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WJHk96HrCc

John's selection, everything he's always wanted to say to us. Is a song,: "Are you ready to be heartbroken, America?" Whew! John is truly the King of Pain- He has suffered so much! Oh but only if we Americans had suffered as much as he- maybe then John wouldn't be so misunderstood which is an even greater tragedy than the heartbreak itself If only a major economic devastation could befall America- or perhaps a plague greater than any known in history then maybe after a decade of misery. Just maybe we could finally, truly see the pain in John's eyes. And truly appreciate how he suffered for our smiles, and for once, fathom the pain of John's crucifixion at the cross of our seeming indifference, Then it all would be truly worth it. Then John could rest in peace again- then awaken with a newfound sense of purpose!

Not really. Yes he says that, Either that's a political spin or he's very naive about the meaning of any polls now. It could be either. There are things he says that leave people like me scratching their heads. Could he be that naive? Yes, the Kennedys are so noble! Of course, Teddy didn't run because he wanted to be President, he was selflessly trying to salvage his Democratic Party? Oh come on, Jim! He took advantage of Carter's weak polls and the hostage situation! RK. is Teddy 2. Teddy's best window was 76, after Nixon, but I guess he got weak knees because of Chappaquiddick and wasn't he breaking up with his wife? apart from being an alcoholic. Which historically doesn't disqualify him. The Republicans are a sh-t show. Trump is already losing some support in purple states, and he faces more indictments and Chris Christie, who could be a spoiler, finally raising a voice against him, but not win. Barring exogenous events, Biden's death, a health episode, or a hard economic landing, done by the Fed trying to strangle the economy and the working class to bring down inflation, (which of course, none of this is Biden's fault.) Biden will win. One good thing the Trump Maga movement has done here has separated the conspiracy men from the boys. Paul: Don’t be part of the ‘mass formation’ that is exerting so much negative energy. We had to overcome this in spades with Trump, much more than RK. Always references to "mass formation" or people being "sheeple". or succumbing to an omnipotent message from the "powers that be" that's so typical in conspiracy websites. We've now had probably 20 threads here saying the identical, boring thing. The Maga supporters still are having hard times realizing their candidate lost without foul play. Mark my words, that will be the narrative here as well! Paul, you've also more recently focused the match up like everyone here does , as RFK Jr.. against the MIC. If you don't know your enemy , how are you going to fight a war with him? Yes we have the government boondoggle of defense spending, but do you know the entire % amount of GDP spent by governments or individuals spent on defense really is? Not even 3 and a half per cent! You're enemy is so decentralized, there's not that huge a resistance if confronted with real numbers of citizens who identify defense overspending as the problem. It's seems so obvious to you, but the case as simply never been articulately made to people. You'd think the balancing of their own budgets would reflect when given the issue ," do you want your government spending on people, or on the U.S. being a international policeman?" But nobody really couches the issue like that, and most people can't make up their mind on that and want some idea of a "strong America" in the world. And the whole issue doesn't immediately effect them. It will interesting to see how the public tires about the Ukraine war a year from now, if it's still going on. But it is very possible to stall out the war effects on people so they're not making sacrifices in the present and will be unknowingly left a bill later. That's very doable. Don't tell Ben, from his perch in a farm in Thailand. Biden has been the most pro working class President in 45 years, and you can argue he's more so than Carter because Carter only inherited a much stronger pro union political climate. Either Joe Biden or the Democrat party were embarrassed that Trump took so many of their bread and butter working class constituency in 2016 and 20. But with Trump, it was largely rhetoric and he was completely unable to focus the government in that direction because his party was largely pro globalist and was busy portraying themselves as "anti government." Biden know how to use the government and is in essence telling the Chinese that their golden age is over, and they're whining now. Besides, they're way too centralized and their demographics suck! The world is entering a more deglobalized state, the U.S. is going to try to reestablish some of their industrial base, though that will take time. The one country that will benefit the most from that is Mexico. We all like RK's pledging to cut defense. But he doesn't control spending. Congress has the purse strings in your system of government. RK is largely ineffectual unless there's a groundswell from youth of new leftist support. Those fundamentals don't seem ready to take control next year.

That's right W. Oh yes, our watchful conspiracy owl Paul was urgently driven a few weeks back, to call our attention to a post he wrote here 15 years ago where he said Noam Chomsky is a CIA agent, as if to congratulate himself for being the first to expose something we all know now is true. Except we don't know that that's true at all, and he has still no real evidence supporting it.. He got pretty much the same reception then as he's getting in this post. This sort of counting infertile chicken eggs before they're hatched I've found very typical of serial conspiracy believers. But when their conspiracies are revealed to be bogus or lead nowhere, in their minds, they generously award themselves another windfall conspiracy that the omnipotent powers that be, were able to pull over the stupid masses, but of course not them. Paul literally has a dark well of such conspiracies hidden within him, but no one ever cares to ask. Unfortunately he's unable to monetize it, as his subject matter is too high brow for the Daily Sun. So he'll dribble out luscious tidbits,on conspiracy websites every decade or so, like he did in that thread, hoping to ensnarl fellow countrymen, with the same avaricious appetites such as Cotter and Barnard or just the general salivating international grifters like Cole. heh heh Hey that AI is really something! The future looks bright! https://preview.redd.it/7xxkpt76wh6b1.gif?width=480&format=mp4&v=enabled&s=2dd6bff81fede797afaf78ddbf6effb204b5ed54
