  1. That's two Trump appointees losing their marbles in the last few weeks. And throw in Steve Bannon's massive $20,000,000 charity rip off scam fraud and arrest for this as another example of Trump's great ability to find and appoint talent.
  2. Were not a huge number of L.A. cops in 1968 as extreme right wing and Kennedy hating as many in the Dallas PD were in 1963? If so, this means more than nothing in the RFK death and investigation scheme imo.
  3. Just viewed Trump's pathetic response to the tax story in the New York Times. Trump actually said this today to the national press: "The IRS does not treat me well." Please, I must repeat this Trump quote ... "The IRS does not treat me well." !? Billionaire Trump pays only $750 in personal income tax in 2016 and only $750 in 2017. Trump pays "NO" personal income taxes in 10 of the 15 years previous to 2016? That is mistreatment? Ha! My family wishes the IRS treated us as badly as they have Trump the last 17 years. And Trump says it's all fake news! Still, crazily and sadly, Trump's cult followers will blindly pretend and convince themselves none of this tax cheating fraud is real or important. And to add outrage to outrage... the same year Trump paid only $750 to our own government in income taxes, he paid $16,000 in taxes to the country of PANAMA! I have read where the Trump organization ( basically just Trump and his kids ) were paid $14,000,000 just to hang their name on that Panama property. And they only have to pay Panama $16,000 in taxes? Where's the business expenses with that? Trump has also paid over $100,000 in taxes to the Philippines. $40,000 to Turkey? Other countries as well. Trump has reported over $50,000,000 in losses just from his Washington hotel property "alone" to the IRS. 12 million dollars a year in losses for 4 straight years is a business model so losing you'd think the banks would call the loans in. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner got in the same massive business loss hole with his 666 Park Ave. property until he got improbably bailed out by Brookfield Inc. Trump receives a $10,000,000 refund check from the IRS and according to his former fixer attorney Michael Cohen Trump crows... "Can you believe how f***ing stupid the IRS is?" "Who would give me a refund check of ten f***ing million dollars?" "They are so stupid!" There looks to be hundreds and hundreds ( if not thousands ) of suspected tax cheating actions on the part of Trump and the Trump organization over the years. All it takes is one conviction on one count for Mr. Trump to be in serious trouble in this case. How can America's Evangelicals see all these outrageously massive criminal tax cheating charges unfolding ( over decades ) and still claim Trump is their chosen moral man sent by ....? Max Kennerly @MaxKennerly · 11h Federal income taxes paid in 2017 (jointly with spouse): Joe Biden - $3,742,974 Kamala Harris - $516,469 Bernie Sanders - $343,882 Elizabeth Warren - $268,484 Donald Trump - $750
  4. Trump is a proud and bragging member of the Leona Helmsley "We don't pay taxes, only the little people pay taxes" club. New York City chapter. Leona Mindy Roberts Helmsley (July 4, 1920 – August 20, 2007) was an American businesswoman. Her flamboyant personality and reputation for tyrannical behavior earned her the nickname Queen of Mean. After allegations of non-payment were made by contractors hired to improve Helmsley's Connecticut home, she was investigated and convicted of federal income tax evasion and other crimes in 1989 The "Queen of Mean" Although having initially received a sentence of sixteen years, she was required to serve only nineteen months in prison and two months under house arrest. During the trial, a former housekeeper testified that she had heard Helmsley say: "We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes," an aphorism which was identified with her for the rest of her life. www.youtube.com
  5. LBJ's defenders always present his "Great Society" program as his most defining legacy achievement as a President. A President who did much for the poor and racially oppressed. That no matter what else LBJ did in his political career and personal life, including reported unprecedented long term corruption ( some say even ordering murders ) fixed elections, the most perverse, grossest even sadistic personal behavior in front of others, fathering children outside of his marriage, and on and on...this one political program achievement is the only real justification needed to record LBJ as an honorable and even great President and man in our official historical record. But we all know this honorable President and person image promotion of LBJ is a complete sick and disturbing charade. A cynical, shameless and corrupt cloaking of the truth. Great effort on every level of highest status quo power since the 1960's has been taken to create and continuously promote this false reality narrative. Why? To reveal and acknowledge the full reality of LBJ's massive corruption could very well also reveal the true identities of our non-elected power elite that have been in greater charge of our society since JFK more so than any average citizen could ever imagine or want to believe and face. An equally corrupt MIC cabal of unwarranted and non-elected power Dwight Eisenhower warned us all about in his final farewell speech. Revealing LBJ's true corruption would expose and threaten the entire network of this greatest power and control group which JFK himself threatened imo. This whole dark reality of highest power and control corruption during the last half of 20th century America will never be brought out into the truth light as long as false reality historical narratives about leadership characters like LBJ continue to be allowed as our official record of note. Corrupt LBJ was a creation of our just as corrupt greater highest power and control complex group that Eisenhower tried to warn us about in 1961.
  6. Strip joint owning Jack Ruby getting within inches of a wide open Lee Harvey Oswald and blasting out his guts right inside the Dallas Police Department building with 70 armed police and other agency people all around him live on national TV with millions of Americans watching was "by far" the single most conspiracy suspicion arousing event in the entire JFK affair in the national psyche. And which is still felt today. Those millions of viewers of Ruby whacking Oswald didn't need conspiracy books and articles to give them these conspiracy feelings and suspicions. They "saw" a conspiracy happen right before their almost disbelieving eyes! Like me, most average Americans knew Oswald was one of the most threatened criminal suspects in American crime history if not "the" most threatened. Knowing this, to then see Oswald so open when he was brought around the corner into the basement and right up to the press crowd and then see this kind of frumpy, dark, stocky, hat wearing figure explode from the closest press line and get within inches of Oswald to blast away...was beyond negligence and coincidence in everyone's mind and just shouted conspiracy. Salt of the Earth JFK Dealey Plaza shooting eyewitness railroad man Richard C. Dodd ( interviewed in Mark Lane's documentary "Rush To Judgement" ) summed up the general American sentiment of Ruby shooting Oswald ... "Well, when a man can walk up and shoot a man handcuffed to two policemens, why, there's a sumthin' else goin on besides what should be." Right on Mr. Dodd! Jack Ruby destroyed the best chance America had to learn the JFK assassination truth. He saved Jackie Kennedy anymore anguish and proved Jews had guts but he screwed the rest of us...royally. Thank you Jack Ruby.
  7. Once again Trump and Melania face huge crowd booing and chants of "Vote Him Out." So loud and unified it forced them both to walk out of a nationally covered public ceremony. For the second time in Trump's presidency he has encountered unprecedented mass booing and chants of rejection while attending a large public event with thousands of Americans not screened like those at his staged rallies. Friday, September 25, while safe distance standing together directly behind recently deceased Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg's flag draped coffin on display on the steps of the Supreme Court building, thousands of people in the gathered crowd below spontaneously burst out in unified booing and chanting "Vote Him Out." "Vote Him Out." The pitch and intensity of this angry chanting grew to such a loud level, Trump and his wife reactively soon turned and walked back into the bldg to escape the embarrassing scene. For the first time in recent presidential history,Trump faced a similar scene of thousands angrily booing him and chanting "Lock Him Up" ... "Lock Him Up" at last year's World Series in Washington D.C. with a packed stadium crowd of over 50,000. The booing was so loud and continuous it stopped the normal public address announcing for several minutes. That kind of mass vocal public rejection of a sitting President at one of our most iconic national sporting events was a first. No President has ever encountered such mass jeering at highest celebrated, national audience watched public events until Trump. The World Series Trump booing scene was reported and replayed in the national media, though the loudness of the booing and chants was reportedly turned down in some of the replayed broadcasts. Appearing before huge assemblages of public citizenry audiences besides highly screened campaign rally ones has not been a glowingly receptive experience for this President. At least in these two highly viewed situations. Reflection of unprecedented angry societal divisiveness amongst our citizenry? It appears so. Watch Trump Get Booed at Visit to Ruth Bader Ginsburg Casket nymag.com › intelligencer › 2020/09 › watch-trump-get-... 2 days ago - On Thursday, the crowd at the viewing for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg booed President Trump and Melania Trump ...
  8. Post copied and removed for the purpose of reposting it in a more specific subject thread..."Who Was Jack Ruby?"
  9. Yes! That's the crazy Carol Channing face! Minus the teeth. Brando was a tough interview for Cavett as he was for every interviewer.
  10. You noticed the Carol Channing big eyes, baby talk mannerism thing too RB? Speaking of favorite Cavett interviews, have any of you seen the one with Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal? HA! One of the funniest interviews ever! Even Cavett worried that hot headed Mailer might start throwing blows! Cavett was so disgusted with Mailer's boorish, bragging, insulting ego maniac behavior and comments he actually said to Mailer (after Mailer condescendingly told Cavett to get back to his talking point list) ..." why don't you fold it 5 different ways and stick it where the sun don't shine!" On air! Mailer seemed somewhat inebriated during this interview. Mailer even insults the audience! Another Cavett interview that was very interesting and even intriguing to me was the one with Jimmy Hoffa. Hoffa not only doesn't hold back his hatred of the Kennedys ( JFK and especially Robert ) he blatantly brags how he had the building manager raise the flag back up to full mast after it had been lowered to half mast the day of JFK's murder ( or was it RFK's? ) His hatred of the Kennedy's with no remorse at all about their brutal murders made me believe that if he could have done these killings himself, he would have. Hoffa was brutish, thuggish. He believed in the use of violence in promoting the Teamsters influence, power and wealth.
  11. Who can forget the Trumps attending the World Series and when their names were announced and their faces shown on the stadium Jumbotron, thousands erupted into loud boos and a collective "LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP!" Never before has a President been so mass booed at a major sport event like that. It was so bad, the main stream media turned down the actual loudness of the booing and shouting and got it off the main page in one day. It was so bad with thousands breaking out in angry shouting and booing it was embarrassing. This is what Trump receives when he is facing real non-screened rally Americans. Even Morning Joe Scarborough tried to defend Trump regards this humiliating reception. Scarborough said these people should have shown more respect! This was our President good or bad. HA! And guess what Trump rewards Scarborough with later on for Scarborough's defense? He retweets news reports of a young aide of Scarborough's suspicious death when he was a Congressman and inferred Scarborough had something to do with her death! Joe....hope this backstabbing of you shook you out of your Trump defense oddity.
  12. I just watched the film "20 Million Miles To Earth." I saw this film at our local theater here in Pacific Grove, California when it first came out in 1957/58? I was 6 or 7. Even today I loved the special effects created by Ray Harryhausen. Hokey compared to today's CG films? No, not at all. When you consider what Harryhausen had to work with back in the fifties and 1960's, his special effects were amazingly powerful. I am sure that I was probably wide eyed and jaw dropped terrified when I watched the creature Ymir battling the elephant in that film. What a battle and the Ymir was just scary as can be! Devilish face with horns, huge teeth, lizard skin body, three clawed hands, all alligator muscled, long tail and it's awful screams! I surely had nightmares after watching this film. Probably choked on my theater candy as well in the most frightening battle scenes. And who could forget the creatures in Jason and The Argonauts? Those skeleton warriors...wow! Today's Super Hero and CG film going kids are simply spoiled. In the fifties and 60's, the bad news creatures and monsters were low tech compared to today, but for their time they were incredibly powerful and terrifying in watching them on the big screen Heck, even cheesy Japanese monster films were great to watch and be frightened. Godzilla, Mothra, you name it. Other girl scream creatures: Giant ants in "Them." Frozen then thawed out flying saucer monster in "The Thing." Giant crabs in "Mysterious Island." Red body eating goo in "The Blob." 100 foot high tarantula in the film "Tarantula." And on and on. And didn't we all love seeing kind of B rated movie stars in these low budget films, like James Arness, Raymond Burr, James Whitmore ( who always creeped me out ) and a few great stars before they made it big like Steve McQueen in the Blob. Michael Landon as a werewolf? Great times to go to the movies in the 1950's and 60's for everybody of all ages. Popcorn and candy were cheap. We were easily moved and effected because we hadn't yet been spoiled by CG.
  13. Thought I'd give any members here who haven't had a Covid-19 nasal swipe test a heads up. I just had one a few hours ago. It was required upon my admission to our local hospital. I had to rush there at 8:am this morning for a serious Afib episode as well as three days of Colitis pain. I had heard this test was painful and or in the least uncomfortable. Well, I don't know if it is was the skill of the nurse, but my test was hardly painful and only mildly uncomfortable. Much easier and almost pain free than I had expected. The nurse inserted a very thin, 8 inch long test poker into a nostril and pushed this very slowly and gently all the way to the back to the throat and kept it there for about 5 to 10 seconds. I will get the results within a few days I was told. If I had been admitted overnight, they would have gotten the results within 2 hours. I wasn't admitted. Heart back to sinus rhythm. Sent home. So, don't worry about this test being very uncomfortable. In my case it was only mildly so. Nothing compared to strep throat where they stick a swab way back on your tongue which makes me gag horribly.
  14. Looks like one of the most egregious criminal monies laundering banks in this huge criminal enterprise "J.P. Morgan" got $12 BILLION in our tax payer funded bail out monies back in 2008.
  15. TWO TRILLION! NOW THERE'S A CRIMINAL ENTERPRIZE OF DECADES LONG WORLD WIDE IMPORTANCE THAT NEEDS HUGE DEEP INVESTIGATION. As well as Trump's dealings with the worst offending bank...Dousche. And did we give any bail out monies to J.P. Morgan after the G.W. Bush financial collapse of 2007?
  16. I do like Walt Brown but I've come to believe that there isn't any one researcher that has ALL the right answers. Of course he is way above JVB ( no comparison? ) in the credibility department. I like Ed Tatro as well. Garrison may have taken some unproven leaps but over-all he is a hero in my mind for spending years of family, reputation and personal emotion sacrificing effort in his investigation and finding and revealing mountains of previously hidden truths that we are all so much better served knowing. I have a question for anyone out there that may have known anything about Reilly Coffee back in 1963. I would ask them, did you ever hear of any connection to government agencies by them or their owners or management? Rob, I would suggest to you that hundreds if not thousands of U.S. corporate entities provide cover jobs for our government needs when requested. And they have for decades. I know this to be a fact. Hence my belief that Reilly Coffee could easily be used for this purpose.
  17. In just one week, conspiracy nut Trump has: Retweeted another tweet inferring Biden as a child molester for kissing his grand daughter on the top of her head. Suggested that Ruth Bader Ginsburg's grand daughter's claim of her grand mother's wish that her replacement not be chosen except by the next duly elected president was not real and something Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi or "shifty" Schiff made up. Suggested liberal terrorists will invade and take over our suburbs. Claiming even elements of Fox News are now conspiring against him. Joe Biden's election would destroy our policing structure and again turn everything over to liberal terrorists. And on and on... with all this crazy super hyped fear mongering rhetoric in just one week! Sorry, but just this latest one week's worth of super exaggerated fear and paranoia mongering ALONE would be enough for legitimate calls for a President's removal due to mental instability and irresponsibly upsetting of our citizens in normal times. Trump claims he personally downplayed the Civid-19 threat to "calm" our society. That this was his sacred duty as President. Yet every week he does and says things through our national media that do the opposite! The liberal terrorist hordes are coming! The election will be rigged! Every criticism of him is a conspiracy. Even elements of Fox news are being compromised! Biden is a child molester! Biden and his son and the Clintons should be investigated for high crimes! Dozens of women going public and charging Trump with sexual battery against them...are all XXXXX...every last one of them! The man is truly, seriously paranoid delusional and super aggressive in pushing his own fear mongering paranoia upon the entire nation almost every day. Yet, this reality has never been reported as such by the great majority of our main stream media. This possum like hiding and non-reporting of this reality is the main reason Trump gets away with his paranoid fear mongering for the last 3 and 3/4ths years imo. Pretending or portraying Trump as not that much different or paranoia fear mongering and angry divisive dangerous than any other President is as blameful as he is for the unprecedented agitated, angry, anxious and divided state we are in imo. Hope enough former Trump voters somehow come out of their Trump idolizing trances this election to stop this chaotic anger, fear and paranoia suspicion inciting madness.
  18. I worked for the local Hyatt Regency here in Monterey for about 9 months back in 1989. This is a large resort type complex. 500 employees! I worked in purchasing, lowest entry level trainee position. Even though I was there for 9 months, I couldn't remember 99 % of the employees I engaged with 30 years ago. My immediate two bosses died within 10 years after my employment there. I only made "one" half-way close friendship there. He died 15 years ago. My social circle was outside of work and family. JVB was employed at Reilly for how long? Very briefly I have read. Not enough time to develop any close friendships I would imagine and her position seemed quite contained in one office. She may not have remembered even her immediate boss's name. And after 30+ years until she came forward, memories of specific employees she may have had some contact with would be so hard to remember. I worked a few 1,2 and 3 month menial labor jobs at JVB's Reilly Coffee age. Kentucky Fried Chicken, hotel gardening, temp jobs with a company called "Manpower." I couldn't remember a name or face of other employees on these jobs within 6 months after leaving them. Didn't JVB flip burgers for a few days once also? Not trying to make JVB out to be some innocent truthful person here. But the fact she couldn't produce anyone from Reilly Coffee to verify seeing her there let alone an often job skipping Oswald or anyone seeing them together entering or leaving their jobs there has no weight in proving or disproving her employment there imo. Those W-2s are suspicious. What does JVB say to counter claims that they are forgeries?
  19. Your right Rob. Great pic. Is that a camera case? I am not a totally convinced JVB person. Yet, I do think there are just a few JVB claims that warrant at least some consideration. Yes, hard to prove JVB claims. But do you dismiss Haslam's claims as much as JVB's? And you ask for proof of Reilly Coffee providing cover jobs for intel persons? Jim Garrison himself is my source for that suggestion.
  20. Strange times with the Covid-19 shutdown and economic turn down like nothing I have experienced in my 69 years ( turn 69 today ) but this following political election campaign observation just adds to this odd and ominous weirdness imo. We have what ... just 6 weeks until the national election? I haven't yet seen ONE political party or candidate yard sign, one open space banner or sign, one bumper sticker, one newspaper ad ... nothing! And we haven't received one political campaign mail brochure as well! I have always remembered presidential election political signs everywhere in the past. Obama -McCain, Kerry - Bush, Obama - Romney, even Hillary - Trump! It was always fun to read funny bumper stickers. Yard and window signs gave color and excitement all over town like Christmas decorations. They added to the excitement of the election. Same with state, county and local candidates and issues. I understand almost everything has been put on the internet with T.V. ads as well, but even with TV, there seems to be a huge drop off. Heck, we received political ad promotion mailers almost daily from the Mike Bloomberg campaign when he ran in the Democratic primary for 2 and 1/2 months. Since then...nothing! Why the complete disappearance of these traditional campaign ad items? Could it be that because we have never been so divided politically with palpable anger towards each other that people are afraid to display yard and window signs and car bumper stickers? Lest someone take a pot shot at their homes and cars? If so, what a sad state of national angst we have in the U.S. anymore.
  21. Well said...true reality. My family situation is so similar to yours. Except I never had even the somewhat benefit providing middle class job like your U.S. Postal Service one.
  22. She mentioned Oswald's flip flop type footwear too. Turns out he DID own such shoes! Oswald liked the ladies from his own Russia dairy. He flirted. Some say he tasted the Sake girls in Japan as well. He openly flirted with a Japanese girl at one of the Dallas White Russian parties he and Marina attended once. If this is all fact, It is very possible that if the opportunity presented itself, Oswald could have had a brief affair outside of his unhappy young and stressed marriage imo. I could see him going for someone like JVB who could carry on an intelligent conversation and be interested in philosophical ideas.
