The inevitable end result of our last 56 years
Joe Bauer replied to Joseph McBride's topic in Political Discussions
Finally, major American newspaper's front page calls for Trump's removal. Two today, for sure more in the next few days. The Boston Globe, New York Daily News and L.A. Times have called for Trump's removal a year ago. The Washington Post’s editorial board took the extreme step on Wednesday of calling for President Donald Trump’s Cabinet to remove him from office after he encouraged a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol building. “The president is unfit to remain in office for the next 14 days. Every second he retains the vast powers of the presidency is a threat to public order and national security,” reads the piece, published to the Post’s Opinion section Wednesday night. The editorial board urged Vice President Mike Pence and the rest of Trump’s Cabinet to meet immediately and invoke the 25th Amendment, a law that allows the vice president to take over presidential duties if the president is no longer able to do her or his job due to sickness or disability. Once a president is removed under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and Cabinet members can decide if the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the White House. “Americans put on their seat belts, follow traffic laws, pay taxes and vote because of faith in a system — and that faith makes it work,” the article continues. “The highest voice in the land incited people to break that faith, not just in tweets, but by inciting them to action. Mr. Trump is a menace, and as long as he remains in the White House, the country will be in danger.” The Miami Herald editorial board also called for Trump to be removed from office in an article published Wednesday night. The board called Trump “deranged, dangerous and incapacitated,” and urged Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. “There can be no doubt that the president is prepared to have his minions scorch the Earth and blow up democracy itself in order to stay in power. He is that determined, that desperate and that indifferent to anything other than staying in the Oval Office,” the article reads. “America cannot wait, with fear and bated breath, to see what abomination comes during the next 13 days.” Why aren't editorial boards screaming: Trump has to go ... ? www.cnn.com › opinions › why-dont-edito...

Pictures of this palace coup that will resonate for years to come will be these: The picture of the plain clothes security officers crouched and aiming their drawn pistols toward the smashed window behind the lecturn with Congress members cowering down all around. The smugly smiling intruder lounging in Nancy Pelosi's office chair with one leg and foot extended out and up and resting on her messed up desk. Trump supporters lifting themselves up and through smashed windows to get inside the Capital building. The look of absolute terror on the faces of cowering congressmen and women, one even donning a full head covering see through gas mask. Tear gas clouds and flash bang bursts on the steps of the Capital building with hundreds of Trump mob people running to and fro. Weirdly unconcerned looking Donald Trump standing outside the White House giving a stand down speech that was 100% sympathetic to the mob seige crowd ( even saying he felt "their" pain and frustration and expressing his love for them ) versus "none" for the traumatized victims of the Trump vigilante mob invasion. Capital police running through the building seemingly out numbered and with Trump crazies walking and running around non-confronted all by themselves or together. The surreal Capital building seige scene kind of reminded me of the Roger Stone staged Brooks Brothers building seige of the Miami/Dade County election count building days after the 2,000 Presidential election. Where paid agitators were bussed in to create intimidating threatening chaos by actually bursting into the building and pounding on glass doors just feet away from the frightened vote counters. This Capital Building seige had the same Roger Stone style of direction look and feel but on a national stage scale of fear and shock beyond anything the average American could have imagined. The worked up, out of control angry mob breaking in invasion of one of our top three most sacred buildings of government while our Congress is actually inside with tens of millions of Americans seeing it happen live on national TV right in front of their eyes with flash grenades exploding and tear gas clouds wafting was so shocking it was even traumatizing. Every news outlet cut off normal formats to continuously follow and report the event. Like 9-11. Our own largest audience San Francisco radio news station KCBS stopped all other broadcasting to follow the DC mob invasion event minute by minute. Imagine what America's young people who are stuck at home by the millions and seeing this chaos themselves on national TV were thinking about this out-of-control Trump supporter riot? Their lives have already been turned upside down to long term effecting traumatizing degrees and now they see this worked up Trump supporter chaos madness seige/rioting right in the sacred buildings of our highest government business? How much more damage can Trump and his worked up followers do to this country which is already traumatized by this unprecedented stress creating virus? I'm sure Trump will come up with something in his totally self-serving obsession fight to keep his ego maniacal power position and name in lights no matter the damage cost to the rest of us. Trump's niece Mary tried to tell us and even warn us to this reality about her "Too Much And Never Enough" egomaniacal uncle Donald. -

Melania Trump's chief of staff resigned today in reponse to the Capital Building seige. Stephanie Grisham, former White House Press Secretary. Praised the opportunity to serve. Not much else said. I think she jumped ship ASAP before it sinks any lower. -

Trump feels the pain...of the protesters? !!! Not the terror trauma felt by the Senators, congresspersons, their staffs and the Capital building police? No sympathy or empathy for them at all? Trump to the protesters ... I love you? No condemnation of the law breaking, and terror inflicting building invaders? If those break-in thugs were Biden or H.Clinton people, Trump would be screaming for their heads! The maximum punishment possible! Trumps inflaming rhetoric finally made his base get violent. Earlier he said to the crowd...don't give up the fight! They followed his advice to the T. Trump's embolding this crowd into violence will end his campaign of obstruction of the rule of law. His last two weeks will be one of keeping a low profile due to the shame of his actions in working his nut case base into a Capital building storming mob. -

Trump sheepishly tweets "uh now respect the police people...they're the good guys" After working up his mob to do this? Any Trump supporters want to try to downplay this 3rd world violence craziness on the part of thousands of Trump supporters? You can't. At long last...will even some Trump supporters see this for what it is? Madness! The skirmishes came just shortly after Trump addressed thousands of his supporters, riling up the crowd with his baseless claims of election fraud at a rally near the White House on Wednesday ahead of Congress' vote. “We will not let them silence your voices,” Trump told the protesters, who had lined up before sunrise to get a prime position to hear the president. -

Trump's worked up crazy followers storming the Capital Building! Guns drawn? Stand off at front entrance? Congress members evacuated? Pence wisked away? 3rd world country madness! Trump supporters whipped up by Trump's beligerent comments..."I will never concede!" "The election is a fraud!" "Pence better do the right thing!" "Keep fighting people." Every major newspaper in the nation needs to step up and print bold block letter front page editorials demanding the end to this whipped up frenzie Trump supporting madness. In unison. Trump is driving this country into angry violent chaos. This capital building storming is his doing. Carl Bernstein is right...the man needs to resign! Mary Trump is right...we are underestimating the lengths her crazy uncle will go to keep in power. Michael Cohen is right...watch out, this guy will go all out in refusing to accept the reality that he lost the election and is a loser. Hope this terrifying Capital Building storming does not give our oldest Senators and Congress persons a heart attack like Diane Feinstein? -

MacConnell's 110% percent complicity and emboldening of Trump these last 4 years makes "any" little conciliatory talk ( now that Trump is toast) disgustingly disingenuous and meaningless. Notice so many of Trump's soul selling emboldeners are starting to show their prostitution colors by weakly claiming they have one or two disagreements with their beloved pimp's desperately crazy actions now.

I hadn't heard the full telephone call until just now. One of the most desperately manic, irrational and delusional rants I have ever heard. And to think this is the President of the United States makes it even more disturbing.

Joe Bauer replied to Vince Palamara's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
There is indeed more Warren Commission testimony regards the indentation in the upper windshield frame of the JFK limo. This by Robert Frazier. Mr. SPECTER - Mr. Frazier, have you now described all of your findings on the windshield of the Presidential limousine?Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; that is concerning the glass itself and not the molding around the windshield.Mr. SPECTER - Will you then move to the molding around the windshield and state what, if anything, you found there? Mr. FRAZIER - On the strip of chrome which goes across the top of the- windshield and again on the passenger side of the windshield or the inside surface, I found a dent in the chrome which had been caused by some projectile which struck the chrome on the inside surface. Mr. SPECTER - Was there one dent or more than one dent or what?Mr. FRAZIER - One dent.Mr. SPECTER - Will you identify what is depicted by a photograph heretofore marked as Commission Exhibit 349? Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; this is a photograph which I took of this dent at that time, showing the damaged chrome, just to the right of the rearview mirror support at the top of the windshield. Mr. SPECTER - Did your examination of the President's limousine disclose any other holes or markings which could have conceivably been caused by a bullet striking the automobile or any part of the automobile?Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir. Mr. DULLES - I wonder if I could go back just a moment to the indentation in the chrome around the windshield at the top of the windshield, but on the inside, could that have been caused by a fragment of a bullet? Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, it very easily could have. It would not have been caused, for instance, by a bullet which was traveling at its full velocity from a rifle, but merely from a fragment traveling at fairly high velocity which struck the inside surface of the chrome. Mr. DULLES - Could that have been caused by any of the fragments that you have identified as having been found on the front seat or near the front seat of the car?Mr. FRAZIER - Yes; I believe it could have by either, in fact, of the two fragments of rifle bullets found in the front seat. TALK ABOUT LEADING A WITNESS! Dulles practically explains to Frazier what caused the indentation! Mr. SPECTER - Now assume the same sequence with respect to exit velocity from the point of the President's neck at the same rate of 1,772 to 1,798 feet per second, and assume still further that the bullet had, the whole bullet had, struck the metal framing which you have heretofore described and identified. What effect would that have had on the metal framing?Mr. FRAZIER - It would have torn a hole in the chrome, penetrated the framing both inside and outside of the car. I can only assume, since I haven't tested the metal of that particular car, I would assume that the bullet would completely penetrate both the chrome, the metal supporting the chrome, on the inside, and the body metal on the outside which supports the windshield of the car.Mr. SPECTER - Now, assume the same set of factors as to the exit velocity from the President's neck. What effect would that bullet have had on any other portion of the automobile which it might have struck in the continuation of its flight?Mr. FRAZIER - In my opinion it would have penetrated any other metal surface and, of course, any upholstery surface depending on the nature of the material as to how deep it would penetrate or how many successive layers it may have penetrated.Mr. SPECTER - Was there any evidence in any portion of the car that the automobile was struck by a bullet which exited from the President's neck under the circumstances which I have just asked you to assume?Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir; there was not.Mr. SPECTER - And had there been any such evidence would your examination of the automobile have uncovered such an indication or such evidence?Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; I feel that it would have. My thoughts: One of the two fragments found on the drivers front seat floor caused the indentation? These fragments were from the bullet that blasted through JFK's skull, ripped through inches of brain tissue blowing out a large spray of this and blood and then blasted through skull bone again? After going through skull bone which is quite hard "twice", these obviously slowed down fragments could then penetrate again into chrome plated steel so impactingly as to lift up the metal around it? I would have asked Mr. Frazier, could you duplicate this damage in test firing a Carcano bullet through skull bone in and out and ahead of the chrome frame? We are simply expected to take Frazier's word that two left over fragments of a twice bone penetrating bullet could create the kind of damage we see in the frame which looks like it was made with a powerful blow from a pick axe? Did Frazier examine the indentation to see if any traces of the fragments might be in there? Did the "shape of the fragments match" the quite circular shape of the indentation? Did the fragments show a flattening from such an impact? And if one of the fragments penetrated the frame that deeply and with enough impacting force to lift the metal all around it... would it then just plop back out on it's own? And did Frazier consider lining up the actual indentation to JFK's exploding head at the time of impact? Two bullet fragments were found in the front seat area? They cleared Governor Connally and his wife's own heads which were directly in front of JFK's head ( and the same height when you notice JFK was slumped down somewhat) when it was hit and the skull obliterated? How do we know that a clean shot bullet from the Carcano ( not a super high velocity weapon ) would have gone completely through a "chrome" metal piece like the frame? Again, test a clean shot of this type bullet into the frame at 265 feet to prove this. Was the frame hollow? Or was it solid steel? At least Frazier, Dulles and Specter are inferring the indentation was created during the 11,22,1963 shooting and not 2 years earlier at a car repair shop in New York.

Whoa! Our house just shook really really hard. Somewhere close a good sized earthquake just hit. I haven't felt a jolt that hard since the 7.0 Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 when the entire Bay Area was massively damaged with portions of the Bay Bridge falling into the ocean, freeway collapses, World Series stopped, etc. Our entire house was jolted with wall creaking, closet door shaking force. It may be closer to us than the Bay Area to our North. We have continuous earthquake activity along our San Andreas fault all up and down the Hollister to Tres Pinos line. If this was close it felt like a 5 to 6 seismic jolt at least. This one shook me up. Just read the latest report. A 4.3 quake in Soldedad, CA. That's just 30 miles East of us here in Monterey, Ca as the crow flies. Sure felt stronger to me. That is close. Another 3.4 quake hit just an hour or two earlier in Lone Pine, CA. That's inland and South. A 3.5 quake hit off of San Francisco in the ocean West just yesterday as well. Wonder what the Earthquake experts are seeing with this trifecta of decent California shakers the last two days? -

Doug, at least one member here thinks of Willoughby as a right wing extremist to a fascist degree who had something to do with JFK's assassination. And someone who was associated with violent covert teams, close to Lansdale, justifying hard line action as a means to a communist threat defending end. An ardent promoter of "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice?" Someone G. Gordon Liddy would consider a hero. MacArthur himself called Willoughby "My little facist?" Yet, you say you thought highly of him and still do? Someone who some feel was so fervent in confronting the communist threat that perhaps he and his like minded high powered brethren like General Curtis LeMay probably thought JFK was a communist sympathizer. Possibly to the degree that he and them felt JFK's brutal murder was a righteous thing in the context of communist threat removal? And in the least, were not feeling very much sorrow over JFK's death? Please explain further if you will, why you still feel the admiring way you do about this Lansdale type man? MacArther's "my little fascist." You obviously do not feel he would have anything to do with JFK's tragic end. One aspect of our military and political policy mind set right after WW II I have learned to understand more now in my older age is the reality of the times. How oblivious I was in this regards. Something I and I am sure tens of millions of my baby boomer peace and love generation just didn't understand ( innocently) was how aggressively the Soviets truly really were in trying to subvert as much of the world's nations as possible into Soviet influenced, following and sympathetic regimes. Their ultimate enemy in this battle for world influence domination was of course, the United States. We really were at war with Russia in this way and they were playing hard ball more than I previously understood. It seems to me now that I have read much more about those times that we were in the ring with charging, raging bull whose one focused intent was to knock us down and out. I understand now ( to a degree) why the Lansdales felt they had to do what they did in third world countries to keep them from being Soviet controlled. That said, we obviously went too far with this Communist boogie man threat fear mindset as well. McCarthyism being a perfect example. Excesses in starting covert actions that resulted in the deaths of thousands. Placing brutal dictators in power. Marcos, etc. In my mind, JFK was in some ways trying to end this war between the Soviets and the U.S.. I think he actually believed it was possible. What he was proposing and doing however was too radical for the old guard. They obviously felt JFK was out of his mind, dangerously so. I know this is a very simplistic essay. Too simplistic I am sure. But at least more understanding of our post WW II communist threat mindset and how we came to be so aggressive in the Ugly American way. To the point of paranoia ( McCarthyism ) and excess in extreme right power groups...JBS, General Walker and countless others of the highest and wealthiest positions. A question I still ponder is whether these old guard communist threat extremists would go so far as to initiate a coup. Something that had been tried before as Major General Smedley Butler reported against FDR. -

Hopefully this new year will bring better things for us all. 2020 was a heart breaking nightmare. Well, at least we are starting the new year by getting our $600 stimulus deposit! My car needs tires, I need two constant excrutiating pain causing root canals and $7,000 worth of teeth work with no insurance, I'm trying to pass a kidney/bladder stone for last week ... so the funds help if even just a little. Maybe some new revelation regards the JFK truth will come out this new year. Maybe the lanky suited man in the 3 tramp photo will be proven to be Lansdale, same with Rip Robertson in Dealey Plaza. Maybe my big "smoking gun" proposition regards the deep metal lifting indentation in the JFK limo windshield frame will finally be acknowledged as being made during the shooting on 11,22,1963, maybe ... well ... let us hope something just and helpful comes out this new year. Hopefully too...maybe our divided, riled up and hate filled nation can begin to heal and we can restfully deal with our POST TRAUMATIC TRUMP STRESS ordeal. Prayers of peace ... Amen.

I wasn't really interested in Charles Hester so much, as Forrest Sorrels. He did more damage than just anybody else I can think of. He told the 112th MID that they weren't needed. Clint Hill said many times in late life interviews that they couldn't check on open windows in higher floor buildings because they just didn't have the manpower. Putting men on the tops of the 40 or so higher buildings was also not even addressed. The DPD or Sheriffs department couldn't bring in 40 reserve officers for this duty? The 112 MID wasn't needed? How about placing radio equipped security men or women on the ground who's job would have been to scan with binoculars all the open windows while JFK's limo was traveling underneath? Perhaps one or two every block downtown? Wasn't one of the most security concerning aspects of threats to JFK the driving of his open limo right underneath 40 higher story buildings and a thousand windows with the potential of someone shooting at him from above? The perfect open shot scenario? And in a city and state that was known as one of the most rabid JFK hating ones in the country? Home to the most rabid and powerful JFK hating men and groups such as the John Birch Society, General Walker, wealthiest men on Earth Texas oil, KKK segrgationist even in the Dallas PD, etc, etc.? Where even the largest local newspaper incredibly allowed that ominously threatening and inciting JFK "Wanted For Treason" ad with JFK's facial picture presented in a "mug shot" way? Can't believe the Secret Service didn't confront and ream the publisher of the Dallas Morning News Ted Dealey for putting out such a threatening and inciting JFK hate piece just before the JFK arrival in his city. Or the same regards the black bordered flyer that was also totally inciting of JFK hatred and that reportedly was funded by H.L. Hunt with him even placing these on car windshields himself! After the Miami security threats ( including Joseph Milteer's taped conversation predicting JFK being shot from above ) just two weeks earlier and taken so seriously by the Miami PD that the motorcade there was cancelled, you'd rationally assume that even tighter security measures would have been taken in well known JFK hating Dallas? That Dallas Morning News ad and those flyers were outrageously bold and blatant red flag trumpetings that JFK was entering a city of extreme JFK hate sentiment. Imagine just two security people ( 112 MID? ) in Dealey Plaza with binoculars scanning the TXSBD building and two or three others while JFK was driving through and especailly during those two speed slowing 90% turns directly below? Innocent Dealey Plaza sidewalk persons Arnold Rowand and Carolyn Walthers both caught sight of a rifle holding man in higher up TXSBD building open windows ( even before JFK's arrival !) just idly looking around and without binoculars! Imagine what one trained open window scanning security person with binoculars could have seen ? Worst high rise security effort one could imagine. The Julia Ann Mercer dismissal by Sorrels? Again, outrageous. The man and his team failed in the worst possible way in their efforts to protect the president, and we are supposed to accept his dismissal judgement of Mercer with any credibility? How come NO ONE could ever find the truck Mercer and even the police admitted seeing or the young man who got out of the truck and went to the back of it, retrieved what looked like something long in a carrying case ( name one long plumbing or air conditioning tool that is carried in a case?) and who then scampers up the grass hill above and is never seen again?
