I think history has shown that wherever there has been societies run or overly controlled and influenced by a very small minority of super wealthy oligarchs, the poorer underneath them and their rule will accept this royally indulged minority class rule structure as long as "they" aren't allowed to slip into the lowest and most degrading levels of poverty or even just above it.

In these modern times, this would include exhausting daily stress to get the basics. Basic health care, basic housing, basic educational opportunities, basic freedoms ( right to protest without armed assault against them?) clothing, food, etc.

When that small minority wealthy ruling class versus majority poor subject class balance gets too out of whack regards the ever increasing indulgences of the higher one versus the unmet basic needs of the lower one, you always eventually have conflict. There is always eventually a civil unrest reckoning. It's actually human nature.

Our own Great Depression experience is the perfect example.

I  propose that although we are not currently at our worst Great Depression mass population number stress and poverty levels... we are closer to it versus any time in our societal history since then.

50 Million or more Americans are truly sensing their lives and their families lives are on the verge of complete economic collapse on a month to month basis.

If this massive amount of Americans are actually allowed to fall like that...what would you expect  from them as a result? Silent acceptance and suffering?

We need to take care that something that desperate doesn't happen. We need to bolster these 50 million American's economic situation "right now" on a level of a national emergency.

Time to quit worrying that these people will become spoiled with barely rent paying financial help. Or that this help might benefit the Democrats politically more than the Republicans this November 3.

And isn't it the American Democracy "equal rights and justice for all" respecting morally right thing to do anyway?

Douglas,

There has always been a struggle between labor and capital. This plague has just shined a spotlight on that struggle.

I have always said that it is not a case of the rich and the poor.

The rich are rich, because the poor are poor.

Our planet only has a finite amount of resources, and would not support all 4.5 billion of us living the lifestyles of the "rich and famous".

Steve Thomas

True Steve, however most Americans never ask to live gold plated royalty indulged lives like Donald Trump and his 1% brethren. They have never demanded this and are not doing so now.

Most just hope for the most commonly desired decent housing, safe streets, schooling for their children and like every other industrialized country on earth - at least "some" retirement benefits, basic health care that doesn't financially break them in a medical crisis, a decent car, job opportunities for their children going into adulthood and maybe even a little extra financial means to buy their loved one's a gift now and then or take them out to a dinner on a special occasion.

Right now however, you have tens of millions who "were" living this decent basic need provided life, on the verge of losing even this! 

They've already lost their jobs. Their kids schooling has come to a stop! Many are on the verge of even losing their housing! 

What do you expect them to say or do?

Just accept their families complete collapse and not demand any basic need help from their government?

What's going on right now isn't anything close to the middle class and poorer demanding anything more than what they had. It's nothing close to their demanding to live the incredibly indulged lives of our top 1%.

10's of millions are sinking in quicksand and desperately yelling for basic need help before their heads go under!

I think the most important thing our government representatives ( and us citizens ) can and should do right now is honestly, ethically acknowledge this extremely desperate, immediate, one month or two away from totally life collapsing situation "as the true reality it is" for up to 50 million or more of our fellow Americans.

We shouldn't downplay this true national family breakdown crisis reality in anyway.

It is THAT real, it is THAT big, it is THAT desperate, it is THAT important.

As Mary Trump says in her Donald Trump expose book title - regards his obsessive urge for more and more wealth, control and power ...

IT'S NEVER ENOUGH. Totally appropriate title of a book on how our most wealthy have gained control over the rest of us and what drives them in their super aggressive compulsion and actions to gain, keep and increase this control imo.

The Dems want to give stressed Americans DOUBLE what the Repubs and Trump want to give them.

Yet people blame the Dems who want to give their stressed fellow Americans more ... for the stimulus help hold up!

And that is why Trump and Repubs won't give in and get these supplements going again?

With a side excuse that it's too much!?

Don't want to spoil America's workers so they won't go back to their can't-even-pay-the-rent minimum wage jobs.

Ever since Trump has taken office, we have been in a state of constant conflict, division, anger, tension, stress and worry.

Steve, I've mentioned before what I see is a failure on the part of our main stream media regards informing our entire nation about the abuses of executive power by Trump in anyway reflective of their true gravity importance.

For the 100th time, Trump is seriously abusing the constitution, and our main stream media is letting him get away with doing so, by their lack ( I believe purposeful ) of appropriate coverage and editorial comment.

Here Trump is ADMITTING he is holding up financial aid to Covid-19 job loss victims for political reasons. To stop anything he perceives to be of benefit to the Democrats in the next election more than he and his own party.

If our largest viewership media venues don't make this blatantly admitted Trump political gain agenda Covid-19 victim hostage situation story OUTRAGED/FRONT PAGE internet and newspaper and even radio and TV news as the dangerous misuse of power that it is...then 80% of our society is kept in a mind numbing ignorance of this presidential power abuse story and it's true importance.

And which has been the case with dozens of other Trump power abuse actions during his anger, tension and anxiety inciting and filled reign.

If Americans are not boldly told by our media the full honest gravity of Trump's actions, like this Covid-19 victim hostage one for pure political gain reasons, in a continuous FRONT PAGE OUTRAGE way, they are simply being kept dumb.

Minor Oswald speaking observation that may have no significance but ...

"Axed" versus "Asked."

When a handcuffed and disheveled Oswald was allowed to face the press crowd in the frantic Dallas Police Department building for a couple of minutes in between being hustled from room to room late Friday night on 11,22,1963, he was presented with questions from them.

This is when Oswald was asked "did you kill the President?" Oswald responded " no. I have not been charged with that " ...

"the first thing I heard about it was when the newspaper reporters in the hall ... AXED me that question."

I noticed this slight specific word pronunciation variance by Oswald a long time ago while first watching this video and 100 X since.

I whimsically thought to myself it sounded like a variance one hears some African Americans use in their pronunciation of the word..."ask."  Similar to variant ( or invariant?) pronunciations of other words like "pOlice."

Some cite these word variances as part of a specific African American linguistic speaking pattern called "Ebonics."

I do not in anyway mean to mention or frame this comparative variant word pronunciation observation in a racially biased way. 

Some may laugh at my even mentioning this obscure one word variance observation in Oswald's 11,22,1963 police department press interview but here is my point.

If Oswald's "axed" versus "asked" word pronunciation wasn't the result of hours of simple nervous, physical even frightened exhaustion resulting in a dry mouth garbling of that one word, I had a fleeting thought that it was due to Oswald being raised in the deep South ( especially Creole New Orleans) and hearing black ebonic American speech so often he unconsciously spoke the word in a way that he grew up hearing as often as the white English pronunciation.

I wondered if this could have shown that the Oswald we saw in the Friday night Dallas Police Department press appearance, the Oswald we heard loudly claim "I am just a patsy", was truly someone raised in this country from birth.

Surely a planted foreign born Oswald double would not be so fined tuned and prepped with such obscure regional and racial difference dialect subtleties in his English speaking.

Probably nothing more than my suspicious imagination running wild but then again,  nothing is too "out there" when it comes to the JFK assassination and the 10,000 conflicting even confounding stories and observations related to it, no?

Lee Harvey Oswald speaks to the press

Different stories, no tenant ledger, rent payments on paper scraps, no photos of Oswald evidence in situ, ( his room? ) beeping cops, connections to Ruby. Not real hard to work out.

 

 

Someone mentioned in an earlier post the likelihood that the "Tit Tit" Dallas cop car horn sound was probably made to move along a stopped or too slow car in front of them at the next intersection ( North Zang ) just past Oswald's North Beckley rooming house.

Never mind that rooming house manager Earline Roberts said the police car was parked at a stop right in front of her residence as she looked out her front door after she heard the "tit tit" horn sound.

The North Zane intersection was down another home distance away.

Interesting statement of suspicion Coley makes regards Jack Ruby and his oft repeated love of Jackie Kennedy and a liking of Jack Kennedy.

Coley says it always struck him that man about town, JFK and Jackie loving Ruby would remain in his office building from 8:00 AM until after JFK was shot at 12:30 PM ( almost 5 hours!) that almost once in a lifetime major event morning and not want to see his beloved President and classy Jackie in person on the street below as Coley, his co-worker and hundreds of thousands of other Dallas area residents did themselves.

It was just a short 3 block walk to a great up close motorcade view on the corner of Houston and Main from the newspaper building and offices. Coley and his friend made that walk around 11:AM and you can actually see them both in famous video footage perched above the sidewalk crowd there as the Presidential limo passes right in front of them just before 12:15 PM.

Coley also recalls that on normal Fridays, Ruby would come into their offices to place his Carousel Club weekend ads, however, he never stayed more than 1 hour when doing so.

Coley also mentions seeing first hand a man directly across the street from him and his friend in front of the Houston Street reflective pool having an apparent epileptic fit just a few minutes before JFK's motorcade arrived. An ambulance came to take the man away.

This dramatic event struck Coley as unusually odd, especially considering it's coincidental timing.

This guy Coley sounds so honest to me.

He didn't say one word about the incident publicly for 13 YEARS after the initial three or four days of that weekend.

Sure not seeking attention in that regards.

Also, when Coley returned to the suspected pool of blood later that day, or even early the next day, it was completely gone.

Now, if it was soda pop, why would anyone take the time to bring and pour water on such an innocuous, meaningless spill to wash it away during that incredibly chaotic time?

And it didn't rain that evening did it?

Or, did an automatic sprinkler system come on all over the grassy knoll in the evening and do this? I don't think electronic automatic sprinkler systems existed back then.

If a sprinkler system came on it was a manually operated one.

I don't disbelieve (yet), but why would there be a sizeable pool of blood, and no blood trail seen?  Who stood there, or lay there, long enough to drop that much blood?  How did they exit without leaving a trail, or how were they removed?

Notice David, the pool of whatever, is just on the edge of a 6 ft wide cement walkway.

A walkway that is surrounded all around by great swaths of grass.

Anybody hit and running would not be running back down to Elm on the cement steps and path. They would have run out on the grass and probably back behind the fence and Pergola, where the ground is just plain dirt.

It would be tough to find a blood trail in 3 inch high grass imo.

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I am hoping I don’t get shot down in flames for something that has already been covered extensively. I listened to this a while back and found it interesting:

If this is a credible statement, I believe that someone could tell the difference between a soft drink and human blood. What do we think the origin of it is? 
 

1) Is it possible someone was wounded by a ricochet? 
2) Is there any possibility someone saw something at an inopportune moment, given the proximity to the location of a potential shooter and that they fell foul of something just before the president was shot.  

Are there any missing persons reported that day or hospital admittance records for gunshot wounds that would be obtainable? 
 

 

It is a fascinating interview. I've listened to it many times.

Coley mentions his newspaper photographer co-worker Jim Hood accompanying him back to the liquid pool less than 30 minutes after first seeing this himself, Hood then dropping down, rubbing his little finger into the liquid, tasting this and stating..."That's Blood" alright. And then taking a photograph of the liquid pool.

I would think someone as rational and observant as this professional newspaper photographer would know the difference in color, viscosity and taste...between real blood and any kind of soda.

I love root beer, Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi. Still drink too much root beer for sure.

I would notice the difference between these sweet sodas and salty human blood. Wouldn't you?

I know it's an extremely poor quality, grainy and unfocused video shot above of that pool of liquid (where at least one "looking down" man seemingly notices and purposely steps around it ) but from what I can see the pool is very dark in color which in my common sense view differentiates it from any soda spill.

I've spilled every kind of soda including darker colored Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi or grape soda and because these and all other sodas are over 95% plain water, they thin out immediately and do not appear as dark as the pool of liquid in the photo imo.

If this was a soda pop spill,  passersby would see no more than slightly colored water and probably not even step around such a spill.

The pool above seems dark enough to be thicker in viscosity than watery sodas for sure.

Yet, the video is really rough in focused detail.

The Russian language is more difficult to learn than say our other Latin based romance languages of Spanish, French, Italian for sure.

I know that in the military, they have well developed, complete immersion intense teaching methods that makes learning and speaking new languages proficiently for even later age novices much more possible. But even in this full-on teaching program environment there is a drop out rate versus a 100% success rate due to the difficulty in grasping new languages.

Oswald didn't study the Russian language as a child did he? He never went to a language school did he? Did Oswald listen to Russian language training and study records? I've never read where he did.

For someone to pick up more than a basic casual conversational grasp of such a difficult language as Russian sets Oswald apart imo. Just talking to other working class weekend buddy Russians, flirting with girlfriends, listening to Russian operatic LP's and arguing with Marina for a couple of years does not add up to Oswald's proficiency in my opinion.

The Oswald whom Marina first met and had such a good grasp on her language already she felt he may be Russian himself... had some official training imo.

That’s purely hypothetical though. If you had chosen a set period of time for Hilary in the 2016 run, polls would say she was almost certain to be elected and she wasn’t. All those people who were couldn’t be bothered to participate in polls, suddenly turned up to vote and Hilary lost. 
 

With your table there are factors with skew that poll. For example of the people who voted for Eisenhower in an election are deceased for example. Its not a multi-varied analysis, which is really needed to produce conclusive results. 
 

Using the same logic, this doesn’t prove Obama is the worst, post WWII either:

Worst President since World War II:

1. Barack Obama (33%)
2. George W. Bush (28%)
3. Richard Nixon (13%)
4. Jimmy Carter (8%)
5. Lyndon B. Johnson (tie) (3%)
5. Ronald Reagan (tie) (3%)
5. Bill Clinton (tie) (3%)
8. Gerald Ford (tie) (2%)
8. George H. W. Bush (tie) (2%)
10. Dwight Eisenhower (1%)
11. Harry S. Truman (tie) (<1%)
11. John F. Kennedy (tie) (<1%)

 

It would be rational and enlightening to have this poll:

Most Personally Corrupt President Since WW II?

Nixon would probably be number 1, simply because there are still enough respondents who lived through and remember Watergate or have a general U.S. history knowledge of this hugely covered, reported and written about event.

Include even a major A list film with two of our biggest box office stars of the day in the lead roles...Hoffman and Redford.

Watergate was such an unprecedented, hugely involved executive branch criminal affair that was so far reaching and implicating of even more blatant criminal act abuses of power ( Pentagon Papers just one of these ) that 25 of Nixon's highest ranking staff and other connected and directed cronies ( the Plumbers ) went to prison!

LBJ's corrupt background was in many ways deeper and more lifelong than Nixon's, yet this reality has been purposely and successfully hidden from the standard public historical record. An amazing long term feat of historical record controlling power.

Trump's personal long term corruption is being more and more exposed with every new insider tell-all book ( a never ending stream and more than any other President while in office ) with most becoming best sellers so it's now widespread main stream knowledge. 

There is so much dirt on Trump being blown up into the public awareness wind it's becoming a virtual dust storm event. So in your face real it's now beyond denial or down playing.

As bad as Trump is in this category as well as Nixon, my number one would still be LBJ.

With a suspicion of his foreknowledge and cover-up efforts regards JFK setting him apart in this regards imo.

Clinton rounds out the top 4 imo. Russ Baker's Bush family expose may influence others in this poll.

A list with this specific theme is at least as important as those general theme others imo. 

Would love to see some forum member "Most Corrupt President" picks and the order in which they place them and why.

Most of our main stream media has kept Trump's continual and unprecedented abuse of power reality downplayed IMO.

This latest abusive Trump political gain agenda move to keep Covid-19 aid from getting to millions of Americans who need this like two weeks ago, and are going to go through the entire month of August before they see any help ( setting them even farther behind in every basic need area ) , should be front page outrage news.

I believe the bulk of our corporate owned news media organizations have been protecting Trump, as he represents their owner's interests above any others.

JFK isn't on those top 10 presidents lists?

And yet LBJ is?

If one did a list of the most corrupt presidents LBJ would be number 1.

LBJ is on those top 10 lists for one reason, his "Great Society" commitment which truly did benefit most of the working class, poorer and racially oppressed parts of our society on a new deal scale.  

So much so it blinded out the dark side of LBJ imo.

A false reality image cover-up that continues to this day. 

Imagine a highest power Godfather using his massive wealth to improve the lives of working and poor folk in his controlled domain to levels they had never seen before.

Even if these great life improved folk found out that their benefactor was also corrupt, it would be hard for them to turn their loyalty against him.

They probably wouldn't even want to deal with finding out this darker truth. And until today, that's still the case with LBJ imo.

Johnson went "all out" with his "Great Society" giveaway.

He knew that he needed something this populist ( actually totally socialist ) and massive to overcome what he knew was a serious suspicious, mistrusting and Southern good ole boy perception of him by most Americans and create a more JFK popular, benevolent good king type image. 

This giveaway was so huge ( and aggressively and successfully implemented as well ) it worked ... in spades!

LBJ is on these top presidents lists because of that one policy, but he was still a murderous criminal imo.

JFK had the same "Great Society" goals in mind with his "New Frontier" intentions.

And if he was elected to a second term and had the ridiculously high House and Senate majority numbers LBJ had, JFK surely would have gotten through many of them himself.

JFK's courage to stand up to the corrupt forces that were really controlling too much of everything in this country up to and during much of his term ( and that were of massive numbers and power and influence beyond anything average Americans could imagine ) as well as millions of rabid JFK hating segregationists, super wealthy extreme right wing/oil baron groups, Mafia, vengeful expatriated Cubans and our own covert community ( fired Dulles, Bissell and Cabell ) and a threatened Hoover as well, defined him as perhaps our greatest president after Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt in his life giving sacrifice in standing up to these corrupt forces imo.

On the other hand, LBJ was right in there with all those corrupt groups!

Some here will surely dismiss me as a follower of former forum member Robert Morrow in his crusade to lift the false reality veil from our official historic record of LBJ as something other than a totally corrupt historic figure.

They would be correct in that assessment. 

LBJ's "Great Society" giveaway was real and beneficial, but it doesn't change the reality of his greater over-all and more important legacy of corruption imo.

Until we face this truth and quit living in a false historic record reality, we just perpetuate the damage living a lie does to us all as a nation and society. Same with JFK's murder and our official record of this.

It's naive to think Bloomberg didn't have an impact on the Dem primaries.

No one throws 500 million to 1 billion dollars ( in less than a three month time period ) into an election campaign without getting something in return for this.

We've all seen and read Bloomberg's speech to Goldman Sachs big shots a few months before the democratic primaries where he declared Sanders and Warren bigger threats to his world of wealth and power than Donald Trump.

And as soon as the numbers guaranteed Sanders and/or Warren could not win the Democratic nomination, Bloomberg drops his billion dollar campaign run?

Clear as day what Bloomberg's real agenda was in joining the primary race.

Bloomberg's been "out of sight" for several months? Somehow that means he doesn't have influence?

When you are a politically aggressive multi-billionaire and you represent that small minority super wealthy and powerful part of our society, you don't need to be on the news every night to still be a major influence force behind the scene.

Yeah, the partisan divides in our media usually lies in the press rather than the Broadcast media. It often makes me smile when the BBC do a news piece on a political issue... lets say a controversial national referendum... and both sides of the divide complain about how biased the reporting was against them.

It's inspiring to see several impassioned Brits willing to join this JFK truth seeking forum and add much to the discussion even 57 years after the event.

I think Brits took the JFK assassination hard. With as much heart felt sadness and feeling of loss as Americans.

Obviously some Brits still feel that loss and a desire to know what really happened in Dallas, Texas on 11,22,1963 just like us Yanks here, many of whom were alive that day and who just two days later, also saw Jackie Kennedy avenging and protecting strip joint owner Jack Ruby shoot and kill Oswald in the DPD basement with 70 armed security all around, live on TV.

I've been following this thread but only chimed in regards Dallas Police Department Jim Leavelle so far. 

I am not educated enough on the Tippit/Oswald affair and Texas Theater arrest to add anything more than some basic questions based on the general reading that most of us have done on the matter. Well known writer forum member Joseph McBride is the resident authority on the matter and with his deep research discovery efforts opened up so much real ( and factual ) background info on Tippit, the Dallas PD and other areas that we all now use as a resource blueprint/template.

Without McBride's research, we'd still be in the dark about Tippit and his background, the Dallas PD and Oswald's activities that day.
