  1. Do tell, George, so he was an early acid head who, I guess lived in Wyoming and knew Dick Cheney?
  2. Yes Bob, Actually Tucker was Ben's hero!. He took out a thread here to endorse him at one point. He seems to have peered a little more beyond the surface of late ***** .Ben has completely exhausted his 3 sources, his theories now thoroughly debunked, and like Trump himself, is desperately looking for bias confirming websites. And now tracing the timeline. Ben posted a Ray Epps story from a website source Trump earlier used a week ago in his recent speech in Arizona. Wow, how original! And now what is Ben left to do? Pull out his picture of Liz Cheney with the Democrats. Ben: . It's da donks! Da donks have been taken over by Liz Cheney and the NSS "DEEP STATE!, Cant you see? Ben's got photo evidence! ******* Ben, You don't think we can see you've done this song and dance for last 9 months. Can't you just approach people sincerely, even if you don't agree with them ? You know we've been snipping at Liz Cheney and her Dad since long before you ever came here. Stop acting like LBJ's guy who "can't walk and chew gum at the same time". You know the strange bedfellows situation that going on with that. In reality, Ben has much more in common with Liz Cheney than any of us. If Ben could have voted in the U.S. 2016 and 2020 elections, His votes would have been identical to Liz Cheney. He would have voted both elections for Trump.
  3. Paydirt! So in his general lecture, this was the first incongruity to the WR anyone had heard? Mc Lelland and Perry were very close. Perry disclosed to Mc Lelland that he had been threatened to shut up. At the time Perry was 34. He then moved off to New York state to practice for over 10 years. He told Mc Lelland he left because he didn't feel safe.He eventually retired in Texas. At 23:45
  4. I agree Ron, Gee Ben it; looks like you're going to have to revise your UK definition of "scrums" being cute little chaps in scrum shorts to now include plots of shotguns and automatic weapons. Welcome to the big leagues! Nice Call! heh heh Ben's hoping Trump will lend credibility to his website that claims that Ray Epps masterminded the 1/6 Capital break in, that he's been preaching to us the last 6 months. Yes, that's a joke! Trump praises right-wing site that helped to seed the conspiracy theory that the FBI is to blame for the Capitol riot
  5. Well Ty, i appreciate you showing me exceptions and you would know better, but I have watched a bit of Fox. And honestly I'm not that impressed. You could have seen much better coverage Ty. The best by far is the first one. It's the only one I've seen that has direct interviews with health care workers,but only briefly.. I'm glad they dedicated a program, but why did it take a year and a half,? until Oct. 2021? Your second and third links are about veterans who are doing their symbolic bits to honor HCW, but can we agree that drawing a symbolic American flag really isn't any help to the HCW at all? Does a symbolic flying of a fleet really help the HCW? Front-line workers honored with 'combat paper' art made from scrubs, military uniforms Ok, I don't understand the full story, but what really is this? It's nice, but who are the real heroes here? I don't see one live story of Doctors or nurses in scrubs recounting the stress of deciding who gets a bed or a ventilator. Or accounting the everyday stress at the worse levels of the pandemic. One thing that's curious about these links is that they aren't putting a face on who these these health care workers are, their lives,their families the trials they've been through. Most of these stories are about third parties and veterans and the sacrifices they're making to honor them as a group, what?!!! You almost think if there wasn't grateful vets, they wouldn't have any coverage at all! The last is sort of a PSA on site which they all do. . Honestly Ty, i come out of these links and I'm amazed at the lengths they are going to to depersonalize who the real heroes were. I think their coverage sucks!
  6. Right on W. To Ben, Epps is his star witness against the government deep state. To us he's had his 15 minutes of fame, and it's inconceivable that such a character like that could have started the 1/6 Capitol break in anyway. **** I remember a year ago last summer, during a general covid lock down. There was a baseball game where they honored the health care workers, who were the only fans at the game. It brought tears to my eyes to see these people finally get honored for all the overtime work they had done earlier, during the first covid breakout in the Spring of 2020. Over the last 2 years. I'm reminded how in the right wing media, and Fox News, there's never any inkling , at least that I ever saw, of a tribute to the brave souls who've provided care to the victims of the covid pandemic, endlessly risking infection and getting covid themselves. It was ignored because it could be acknowledging that there was actually a problem at all. And now care givers have to deal selflessly with unvaccinated people who could be taking away beds and other precious resources from victims of automobile accidents, people needing various emergency surgeries and care, young people who might have their appendix burst and even elective surgeries. These are essential people who are being treated as expendable people, which can only reflect a greater attitude towards the rights of the lesser powerful as well. No matter what anyone's politics, in a climate where there's always media criticism that there aren't enough good feeling, inspiring stories in the dark times of a pandemic. These people should have gotten a lot more air time for their heroics among right wing media than they did, and still do.JMO
  7. You've taken an hour to just obfuscate. You've asked one real question, and I'll answer it.. Chris;What made you take two separate quotes, combine them and add some words for sensation and then place them in quotes attributing them to me? They are direct quotes, and not separate quotes and they're not combined. I quoted your paragraph and then focused on your first sentence and asked you a question. There's no trickery at all. Kirk: What is this "corruption that is sweeping the globe?" Be specific! Since it was an easy question. And you're running from answering it. It obvious it was just another frustrated, alarmist cry for attention, when your argument goes against you that was deliberately vague and you can't back up, and you've had plenty of chances. Chris:you’re going to lose almost everything you have ever worked for in your life. I This is a very irresponsible statement to make to someone when you have so little knowledge and life experience to back it up. But we're supposed to put up with it because you're so hurt? Not a chance!
  8. This is your quote: This statement hasn't made anything "more real' to anyone. What is this "corruption that is sweeping the globe?" Be specific! Stop the hemming and hawing and answer the question.
  9. Yes, Let's address that, Chris you can't just run to the mods when you don't like something someone said, when you can directly address the person who said it...... Me. Here's the quotation you want to be known. Chris: "I’ll say something that might make this real. If this corruption that is sweeping the globe, and ruining economies isn’t stopped quickly, you’re going to lose almost everything you have ever worked for in your life. I don’t want that to happen to you or anybody else, but, it’s coming. That is the trajectory we are on at present. Your country is being pulled apart from within, and you can’t see it. “ "I’ll say something that might make this real. If this corruption that is sweeping the globe, and ruining economies isn’t stopped quickly, First off, This statement hasn't made anything "more real' to anyone. What is this corruption that is sweeping the globe? Be specific!
  10. Oh Chris, so that's been in your craw now for the last week even though the rest of us were not very impressed the first time and hardly want to go through it again. . As far as accreditation, I'd put up W's accreditation about 100 times over yours as a 40 something who acts like a 20 something as this post shows, and as a "media expert".who campaigns against "collectivism" and extols Jordan Peterson and quotes Barry Goldwater. I personally smell yet another rat.
  11. Yes Joe, It sounds like you should get tested. Just do it! I've had 3 modernas now so I'm ground zero for a lot of these spike protein naysayers. My first Moderna I had no reaction whatsoever. But the next 2 I did have have reactions. The next day I felt under the weather. It didn't stop me from doing a mild schedule. The first reaction day, I did get a haircut and do chores.The second one was similar, in both cases I felt like I was coming on to a bad cold that never really materialized. Never any hard symptoms and in In both cases after waking up from a sleep. I felt refreshed. True to the covid conspiracy theorists, I am encouraged to take the shot and have gotten credit ($15) for each shot and booster through my health rewards card to buy health care related items for free. Yeah, tough world we live in! I was taking it anyway, so that didn't matter. Then I was walking through my grocery chain, when they were offering flu shots and I could get one on the spot and get a $5 credit for it, so I did it and I'll be damned if I didn't get a mild reaction to that the next day too! I don't take flu shot every year and I haven't gotten a flu in years and I don't know if I will in the future. I personally want no muss and fuss for the flu. I regret getting this one. Then I've got these endless e mails to take moderna surveys and even Pfizer surveys and I didn't even take the Pfizer! It sounds like maybe I'm doing a good thing and If i fill out the surveys they promise a gift worth $90, and all I have to pay for is shipping. They give me a choice of about a dozen of the same items. I've done this before, and the manufacturers end up billing me for the item anyway. I receive the merchandise, and get the bill later.. I spend time over the phone, explaining to them that I was offered to take a survey and the item was for free except for shipping and they act like they've never done business with the survey takers ever before! But in the end, they don't dispute and I get the item, which never seems like it's worth $90 bucks, So I decided I was never taking those surveys again because the hassle just isn't worth it, unless you're really looking for a decent flashlight, keto pills or skin cream. Just a word of caution!
  12. Doing what he's told? What is this, another contrived conspiracy? Who told him? The FBI? ,yeah, they and the donks are really tight, right?............ the MSM?................. Maybe FBI-MSM??? Whoa! Awesome! I get it now! ********* Ron's right. That would be playing for the 1% who wasn't going to vote for him while alienating the moderate 10%. And that's not good odds. It's called politics. ** Newsome's trying to give health care to all Californians, even non citizens. It's a first. Apart from the citizenship issue, Other states depend more on the federal government for health care assistance. I've always wondered, even with Fed help, how can any state guarantee that?, and I live here. Definitely a high tax state. He's obviously angling to be the progressive executive candidate if Biden gives it a rest.
  13. News Flash- Oath Keepers leader arrested by FBI 11 Arrested for Seditious Conspiracy.
  14. WTF?? Tell me this isn't happening! Talk about coasting on his position! Pence has no qualms about using the Capitol Police for a Republican, law and order photo op. And feels no obligation to the police and continues to obfuscate and ignore calls to testify as to his inside knowledge of the events leading up to and his thoughts and actions during Jan. 6th. I'm glad Aquilino got around to tweeting him, but it's too bad they didn't ask him about it when they were with him, or other questions like "Hey Mike, how come you Republicans hate us and the Health Care Workers?" But I guess they were starstruck? Just another everyday injustice in America! Staff Seargent Gonell Aquilino Thank you Mike Pence. It was an honor to protect you on January 6. If you could tell the truth for the sake of our country about what led to that day, it would be greatly appreciated. Mike Pence @Mike_Pence · 12h On this National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day we pay a debt of gratitude to the incredible men and women serving on the Thin Blue Line every day to keep us safe! God Bless! #BackTheBlue
  15. As you can see, Greg, to Chris there is no point in addressing wealth inequality, his earlier comments involving this question were that if the rich were to face greater taxation, they'll just flee to another country, which is the typical corporate veiled threat. "If you don't treat,me right, I'll just leave". I'm sure that argument, has made more sense to the powerful in the U.K. They can always come here. But most of the wealthy people in the US want to stay here. I think I might be able to ad some context here. Things are pretty dire everywhere. There are people in all age groups but I want address people their 30s and 40s who are having a very hard time getting by, In many cases they're saddled with great debt, student and otherwise and see no way out. If you're in your 20's you at least have the perennial optimism that things can and will get better. More recently retired baby boomers are scooping up second homes and driving up real estate prices for younger people who might have otherwise been able to take a stake in the American dream. In some cases maybe some after many years of feeling they've been treading time and it appeared they might be starting to get ahead, they've been stopped in their tracks by the Covid Pandemic, and naturally being healthier and more resistant object to the pandemic tying their hands behind their back in their desire to finally make progress. In Washington, of course the U.S. major parties are controlled by very old people. There's been a younger push to succeed Nancy Pelosi for 4 years now. I think whatever advantages Pelosi could boast as to her experience at a critical juncture have now been shown as a blown opportunity. You'd hope some of these people would finally step aside, but unfortunately with the divided Republicans, that problem is much worse. ******** Chris: Thank's for you opinion, Greg. However, I think you've misunderstood me and that may be because you haven't read all that I have been saying, and you've taken something in isolation and chosen to allocate a meaning to it. My prerogative is to wake you guys up to what is right in front of your eyes, like a Dr telling you that you need to quit drinking booze, fatty foods or cigarettes. I thought perhaps you watching your lives disappearing down the plughole being a trigger for change. The implications of you guys not seeing truth, is that affects me. A Chris criticizes Greg for not reading more of him. But in my experience through wading the voluminous amounts of Chris's opinion, with an amount of time, that I now consider generous, is that the overall content doesn't change. His writing, like Ben is so compulsively repetitive. I think Chris's comments are more telling about what's going on in Chris's life. I see Chris as a disillusioned corporate aspirant. Of that I make no judgment. Chris: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This was a line I was going to use concerning what I've gleaned from Chris's general philosophy but he did it for me. In fact he closed with it. It's clear to Chris that any act of kindness or altruism, or thought for the greater good, including environmental concerns, is a thought very desperately not wanted to be believed, but is rationalized as useless anyway. And Chris's buzzwords of "collectivism"are straight out of an Ayn Rand novel. Using a 40's phrase like that shows too much book learning and no practical experience. Chris: I could probably write 300,000 words on this topic. Let me give you my message clearly, wake up, read the views of your opponents, understand their views, and then make a decisions as to whether they have merit. "I could probably write 300,000 words on this topic. " I'm sure Chris could, and with the same tone, which is why despite all his avowed marketing prowess and study of Bernay. His current ability to influence is zero. That is, at least here. I'm sure there's no shortage of conspiracy websites, where he may obtain more influence. I personally haven't found any clue that Chris understand the nature of the power struggle, because his initial aspirations and perhaps upbringing, were to be a big part of the power structure. And what is this? Chris: I believe in a butterfly effect: the idea that a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon and creates a tremendous hurricane in Europe. The smallest action can have the most profound effect. Something you or I say can go around the world a thousand times over. I believe in Robert F. Kennedy's "Ripples of hope" that he describes in his famous speech in South Africa, that small ripples of hope from many directions can form a current that can sweep away even the mightiest walls of oppression. Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I can move the world, said Archimedes. We too can move the world. We have to withdraw our consent. And then immediately afterward Chris: Beware a wolf in sheep's clothing." "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." To start in going from the metaphysical touchy feely that I assume was inspired by RFK Jr. and then to close with your usual right wing dogma show no unity in thought and purpose. It's as if you're trying to pander and be all things to not all people, but all the fringes. Chris: I believe in a butterfly effect: the idea that a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon and creates a tremendous hurricane in Europe. What kind of liberal pie in the sky hokum is that? This is exactly the type of fringe stuff that the right wing rightfully accuses the left of. So here we journey into metaphysics? And practically, where does this lead? The last time we saw that kind of appeal to moderates by a right winger was GHWB's "1000 points of light". It would do absolutely nothing but bring on the conditions that Chris is anxious to foretell, as in statements such as this one to W. Chris: "A civil war is coming to you, but you're not at all prepared. You will lose almost all the things you've worked for all your life!" For Chris to tell us about the coming Civil War in America and know precisely how it will play out from nothing other than vigorous bias confirmation searches on the internet halfway around the world is so arrogant and presumptuous to us mere inhabitants of the US, and is very typical of both Chris and Ben and will always set back any aspirations to be an "influencer".. What this tells me about Chris is that everything is going to crap and the only thing left to be salvaged for Chris is above all, to be proven right, and he glorifies himself as being on some divine mission, (just as con, Jordan Peterson)which can be showcased in the title of Chris's newest thread. It's pretty transparent. In both cases of Chris and Ben, it's is the same message over and again, and I see as reflecting an even greater widespread futility abroad. It's our responsibility to see it as a whole as Chris's personal struggle, but are we really to play into these appetites that so often appear in conspiracy threads, (Hey, I'm open to different label, if anyone would suggest it, but it's always seemed to me to be a silly sort of PC thing to think about among others who also subscribe to the JFKAC.) As Greg has said, it's just a running drone of fear and hopelessness that plays right into the wishes of the power elites and the corporate state which I have found in some instances, Ben has aided as well. As I've said before the only impingement, the only check that the multi national corporate state can experience is through the separate governments of the world. And that's through appropriate taxation and the attempted diminution or eradication at whatever level of money in politics.The only way that can happen is through a grass roots movement of populations who understand and recognize these present relationships (because as we've seen in recent years, a miss as good as a mile!), and act on them in their everyday actions and at the ballot box. Not "withdrawing your consent" to represent yourself.
  16. Micah: Okay, so is Lamar Waldron just a crazy old man who likes to lie? Actually asking. Pretty groundbreaking information to come across in the early 90's, only to save it for a random podcast in 2021. As a professional courtesy, I don't think you're going to get Larry to say, "Yes Waldron's a li-r." As he says, I think there's always a danger of researchers trying to make a leap to connect the dots. i certainly have problems seeing Bobby, a laymen, 5 hours after his Brother's death, directing the autopsy with Burkeley and no other people around. How would he know what to do?, Outside of perhaps butchering the body beyond any definitive analysis.I suppose. I haven't read any of the Waldron books. But I think Waldron has always contended that the Kennedy's didn't discontinue Operation Mongoose, I believe. He said he first believed the Castro coup plan was not actual. I did a little research. As for the time lag. Waldron contends he had to put off the publishing of his book because while corroborating Nolan's sources with a General Oliva , when he mentioned Almeida offer for a Castro coup, was told sternly he must never mention Almeida's name again because he's still alive and there's an ongoing relationship and uttering his name could cause Hartmann and Waldron to be tried for treason. So Waldron waited 12-15 years to mention Almeida and the coup attempt. For whatever it's worth.
  17. Micah, I posted the Thom Hartmann interview with Waldron a couple of weeks ago. It's actually very well presented because Hartmann had collaborated with Waldron on his earlier JFKA books. There is no middle ground here. Waldron alleges the autopsy was supervised by RFK through Burkeley. Executing according "to plan" as to control the narrative to avoid complicating international implications. According to Waldron's account from Nolan at 1:04, the contingency plans made to control the autopsy were first made in anticipation if Castro were to get word of the coup plan that Waldron says was to be actually carried out against him, and decided to take preemptive actions. The example given allegedly by Nolan is the killing of the Ambassador to Panama. In which case , it's reasoned with the possible fate of the world being held in the balance, it would be necessary to control every aspect of the autopsy and the information about it going out to the world.
  18. Oh do I sense a victim here Ben?? Graciousness is graciousness but l-es are l-es. Oh really Ben?, right after you've been caught red handed parcing Trumps statements to mislead us in order to promote Trump as a non corporate politician when he actually acknowledged his corporate giveaway to the Koch's? But then like a Trumpian character you haven't answered to your omission.? Your hoping to not address it, and have it just swept under the rug? Of course this makes me wonder, if I was to use a minimal research as I did, what others untruths would I uncover? Despite your disavowing. In 10 years here, I've honestly have never seen such sycophancy here to promote a politician here as you. Then in your deafness you open up another thread the very next day here solely for the purpose of pushing your political views and you got slammed again!.. You did the same thing with Tucker Carlson here a few months ago, and you promptly shown the door back then. You've never noticed that you don't see other people here starting threads to promote their favorite politicians or network talk show personalities? I've never understood this slavishness toward Trump. It's seems like Trump just make you guys l-e, cheat and steal for him, only to get caught and yet you guys keep coming back. . Don't you Ben? ******
  19. John, I forgot as well. Try the link by Michael Clark in the funding thread near the top of this page.
  20. James, please tell me if you've received my payment. As I recall , before we took care of this rather handily with a donation drive. Right?
  21. This is Peter Navarro about the takeover plan.. It was going to be a real "cool coup". In fact , not even a coup really. You'd barely notice it. Hey, just carry on with whatever you were doing. I mean, nothing to get hung about! Take this one. Not this one. Can't get rid of it
  22. That is bad news James. Yes, I second Jim's suggestion. Could our contribution possibly dissuade you?.
  23. It's good to hear about these personal anecdotal stories from either side. More of Ben, compulsively rushing to defend Trump. More falsehoods, but probably unwitting (looking for a reason to believe) falsehoods this time. Actually trying to spin one of Trump's worst First Amendment moments (including JFKA file release.) and make Trump's complete caving in to be an innocent victim at the hands of others. Of course no mention from either Greenwald or Ben about Trump Sec. of State Pompeo considering a plot to kidnap or possibly even murder Assange. Let's take the opportunity to see how Trump looks as he handles this question in a live interview with FOX Candace Owens. He certainly doesn't act like a victim. If I could find a clip of just this segment, I would, but since Ben is already using Glen Greenwald, I have no problem showing Kyle Kulinski's overview of it as well.
  24. Ben quoting Trump “The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas,” Trump tweeted. “Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker - a puppet for no one,” he wrote, before dubbing them, “Two nice guys with bad ideas.”" Ben , I smelled a rat. You're not being honest about this and deliberately quoting to each side and deliberately omitting a critical sentence in between that is the very highlight of W.'s comments. Your quotation is from a 7/31 2018 Trump tweet. Below is verbatim what you quoted above and the bold print is what you omitted in the middle. --------- The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade,” Trump said in a series of tweets early Tuesday. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn,” he added. “They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker — a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!” ***** They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. You knew this was a critical line to omit. This is "the wink and the nod" to the "Corporate state". Trump in essence saying "You can act like you're against me. But the bottom line is, you'd be a fool to oppose me because I'm making you money." This is by far, the most honest line there. If you really sincerely don't want to continue to do the bidding of the Corporate State, you might read what I wrote about it on page 500. Only a complete novice, using rhetoric to hide his ignorance of the actual issues would use Trump's quotes to make a point anyway. But even when faced with the text, you felt obligated to omit the "corporate dog whistle" and end up being just another corporate shill. And for what, and who? Congratulations! Thanks for the honesty. BS is BS Ben! This is the length some people will go to, to protect Trump.
  25. Well put W.! When you talk of the American political parties, There are always many issues to consider. Doug's Nixon thing is interesting , those were progressive times. But the best shot we had at establishing a good National Health Care system way back, which would have saved us a lot of money over the years would have been under Hubert Humphrey, that was his field of expertise. W. I think you, might appreciate this.
