Kamala Harris and the RFK assassination
Joe Bauer replied to Robert Burrows's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Yes, I remember Jim Di's piece on Harris as well. Very informative. I don't think the average American will ever read the full background info on Harris that Jim Di. published. -
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.

The inevitable end result of our last 56 years
Joe Bauer replied to Joseph McBride's topic in Political Discussions
Found this Trump/Epstein/Maxwell link today. The main stream media could show us 5X more photos of Trump schmoozing with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell than only the typical 5 or six we see over and over. One can't help but wonder why they keep so many others from display. Seen in their totality, you get a clearer idea of a much more engaged friendship between Trump, Epstein and Maxwell. This more extensive social relationship depicted by these many photos help explain Trump's illogically politically incorrect protective and defending personal empathetic concern ( publicly expressed ) about Maxwell's welfare in jail imo. Prince Andrew is seen a lot with Epstein and Maxwell as well. Many other crazy celebrity combo pics here that raise suspicious connection alarm bells. Images of Trump Epstein Maxwell bing.com/images -
When and if Steven Spielberg himself comes out publicly and says the ET presence on Earth is real, the process of world humanity acceptance will seriously begin imo.

I may be wrong but I recall actually viewing an interview of Leavelle when he said this about the Tippit murder versus the JFK one. Now, this following more graphic downplaying JFK murder concern comment, also attributed to Leavelle, "may" have been related through another person such as a writer or historian that also interviewed Leavelle or even in response to an interview audience member question: Paraphrasing ... Leavelle: that compared to his fellow officer's murder, the JFK murder had no more importance to him than a ni##er killin'. I never bought into this later age pushed image of Leavelle as some kindly, quaintly colorful and more liberal mellow old grand daddy type. From the first time I saw Leavelle on TV escorting a wide open Oswald into the DPD basement to his no trial execution, adorned in his perfectly pressed, pleated, cream colored, Colonel Sanders get up ( complete with a big Texas style good ole boy white hat) and in interviews at that time, he came across to me as one mean som bi###. A guy who looked and sounded like he could fit the tough cop by day, KKK Grand Wizard by night role to a "T" imo. The most emotionally excited worked up moment of Leavelle's earlier interviews that I remember was when he described how a desperate reporter in the DPD building when Oswald was first brought in, actually squeezed his upper body between press blocking Leavelle's open legs to get a good photo shot of Oswald. Sadistic grinning Leavelle bragged how he kicked this reporter so hard, the SOB went flying clear across the hallway! YEAH! Nice kick Jimmy boy.

Murray Chotiner & The JFK Assassination Conspiracy
Joe Bauer replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Yes, interesting. However, I don't see the Oswald we know who was married to Marina here in the states and the one we saw on TV the weekend of November 22-24, 1963 as wearing a black leather motorcycle gang jacket and pounding his open hand on the Employment Department counselor's desk twice, while shouting "DAMN, I know that guy!" -
True story JM? One could ponder many intriguing questions regards such an incident. Was the guy so-called normal looking? In other words not disheveled, wild haired and eyed? Even decently dressed this fellow may or may not have had a legitimate threat knowledge. One wonders why this guy didn't go to or call the police to report his warning versus trying to run up to JFK himself which a normal person would know would be met with confrontation stopping by security personnel. Rose Cherami's warnings were ignored. In her agitated drug withdrawal state she was simply dismissed. What a strange and gut gnawing feeling and memory those people who heard Rose Cheramie's forewarnings about JFK's murder ( with specifics regards time and place ) had to carry the rest of their lives. They heard the JFK murder prediction before it happened. A prediction that might possibly have proved the event was a conspiracy. Otherwise how could Rose Cheramie have known this truth before it happened? Cheramie was actually with important Cubans in the same vehicle for many hours of cross state driving who were deeply involved with covert groups and activities that were anti-JFK . Sergio Arcacha-Smith? Smith befriended H.L. Hunt?

Is there "any" corroborative testimony or evidence that Deputy Sheriff Harry Weatherford was on the roof on the the records building while JFK was passing underneath? I haven't ever heard of any police agency personnel being on downtown building roofs during the Dallas motorcade. I do recall Mark Lane interviewing the building maintenance man of the Post Office (?) building all the way across Dealey Plaza opposite the Texas School Book Depository who told Lane he was on the roof of that building as JFK and his motorcade turned right on Houston and then left on Elm. He described seeing a man above the grassy knoll area running fast from the parking lot area towards the Texas School Book Depository building just after the shooting and before anyone else started running up there. The maintenance man didn't mention any police person being up there on the roof with him.

All the cheating in the world regards Trump's business and tax reporting dealings, all his extra-marital affairs and lying about them, all his blatant race baiting and dividing, his constant public and social media (Twitter) insulting, his bullying of others including the press, public protestors and even his own Congress, his past associations with unsavory criminal business elements (remember Felix Sater?), his unethical personal business gain obsessiveness even while in office, his love for and coddling of dictators, his audacious nepotism, his blowhard bragging, his chicken hawk patriotism, his personal fixer attorney William Barr and most of the rest of his bad personal character traits which most admit are so extreme it's laughable, will not effect American voters who are classified in the so-called "undecideds" and especially the women voters as much as one overriding concern issue imo ... "SEXUAL PREDATOR." "All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator." Authors Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy draw on over 100 interviews to create a detailed history of Donald Trump's relationships with women. One particular encounter alleges that Trump "grabbed and pulled" Karen Johnson "behind a tapestry" before kissing her at a New Year's Eve party. Imagine 99 MORE stories like this one and worse!NEW YORK — E. Jean Carroll, a writer and advice columnist, claims President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan more than two decades ago.Carroll revealed shocking details of the alleged assault in Friday's New York Magazine. She said that President Trump, then known as a real-estate mogul, approached her at the store and started a friendly chat.President Trump recognized Carroll as "that advice lady" and Carroll said she recognized him as "that real-estate tycoon." At the time, Carroll was a well-known writer and host of her own call-in advice show on America's Talking, a cable channel that would be replaced by MSNBC.According to the account, President Trump told Carroll he needed advice on buying a gift for a girl. Carroll recalls suggesting a handbag or a hat. President Trump, she writes, instead led the way to the lingerie section.He picked out a lacy see-through bodysuit and says, "Go try this on!"Carroll said she joked about President Trump trying it on instead, and the two made their way to the dressing rooms.That's when things turned violent, according to Carroll's account.Carroll recalls President Trump shoving her against the wall inside the dressing room, pulling down her tights and, "forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me.”The incident took place in late 1995 or early 1996, Carroll said. Trump's most famous quote: "Grab em by the p$$$y." "When you're a star they let you do it." Trump's many social interactions with child sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his now jailed cohort Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump's current, perverse, twice publicly stated sympathetic words of caring for jailed accused child sexual predator Maxwell versus none for her victims. The label "Sexual Predator" now trumps all other pejorative ones in importance in the minds of women in our society. It is the only true guaranteed game changer in effecting women's voting sentiments imo. If the Democrats don't hammer Trump with this "sexual predator" issue and especially his most recent sympathetic comments towards child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein cohort Ghislaine Maxwell more than others ( even the pandemic ) in the next 90 days of campaigning with a massive TV and mail ad push, they could very well lose the election again imo. The Republicans would be doing this against Biden in manic spades if they could find as much dirt on him as Trump has regards this most upsetting to women voters issue. The charge and label of "SEXUAL PREDATOR" is the most terrifying of all now. Its why Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and others are in prison. It's why Bill O'Reilly, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Al Franken and so many others are out of their highest profile, highest pay jobs. It's why Prince Andrew, Woody Allen. Allan Dershowitz and other famous men are aggressively mounting PR campaigns to defend themselves against these charges. This issue alone could spell the voting out of Donald Trump as well. If the corporate media doesn't keep it downplayed or totally buried and the Democrats refuse to take advantage of it. -
The Garrison Tapes: A John Barbour Film
Joe Bauer replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Yes, what a breakfast story. Shaw's supposed comments about Oswald would have rocked the JFK story if they got out and could be proven. Too bad no one got this on tape. And I also would like to know how much you trusted your friend Phil to tell truthful accounts Doug. -
The inevitable end result of our last 56 years
Joe Bauer replied to Joseph McBride's topic in Political Discussions
I just viewed video of the Beirut explosion...WOW! Honestly, it looked like a mini atomic bomb explosion! You've really got to see this. It reminded me of film from the early 1950's of Nevada atomic bomb tests. Where troops are in bunkers with goggles on? There was this super bright flash and then an enormous white ball of gaseous cloud with what looked like a thinner, vertical, mushroom on top type darker brown cloud rising straight up above the lower gaseous cloud. I still almost can't believe what I saw. You could also see the incredible concussion coming from this as the camera taking the film jerked heavily when it happened. -
PM had been following Oswald since he first arrived in Russia! She spent a long time with Marina, even living with her. She came in well after Ruth Paine who I don't think Marina ever really personally liked nor felt comfortable with, although Marina probably truly appreciated Ruth's protective generosity and kindness during a truly desperate time in her life. In the Cavett interview, the vibe I got from Marina and her smiling, relaxed manner and friendly glances toward PM throughout gave me the impression that she really liked this worldly and Carol Channing sounding charming spy...er uh...I mean woman. And did PM actually speak some Russian? And don't forget also that Marina in her PM phase had a decent amount of time to unwind from the JFK nightmare AND she was now a woman of financial means ( well over $100,000 ) from being sent $70,000 in sympathy donations combined with selling Oswald's belongings including his revolver ( $10,000 ) and a decent sized book advance. Times were much better for her during the interview than those extreme poverty stressful days with Lee.

The inevitable end result of our last 56 years
Joe Bauer replied to Joseph McBride's topic in Political Discussions
I really hate to say this, but I fear the choice of a black female for vice president will actually hurt the Democratic vote. Please, this is not a reflection of my personal feelings regards race relations in our country. My entire life history is one of respect, empathy and real interaction in the cause of improving the lives and rights of black Americans. Maybe sometime I will write a fuller post piece of my rather unique life experience in this regards. So, with this personal racial respect inner truth, I believe that in this particular election, it isn't the right time to choose a black woman VP candidate. I sense too many voters in the so-called "independent/undecided" category of our country might very well feel this specific racial Democratic Party VP choice has been forced on them by a very aggressive single political agenda group versus a broader political interest choice. I fear this may be the emotional "backlash" of too many independent voters ( hugely fed and encouraged by the massively financed Republican campaign marketing machine ) because I believe more people in this group have less than totally sympathetic feelings toward Black Americans than we generally know. I am saying that America is still to this day, more racist than we understand imo. This is not a statement that any of these VP candidates are not qualified for the position. And I am voting for Biden, no matter who he chooses for his VP. Just wanted to express my concern for the best possible political course for the Democrats to win this November. Will move this to the Trump forum if so ordered. -
I have seen the Marina, McMillan, Cavett interview. This was a few years ago. It's been taken down? That's suspicious. To me, Priscilla J. McMillan seemed in control of Marina. Marina would often look at McMillan before answering a question, almost as if Marina needed her approval, permission and ok to do so. Yet, Marina seemed quite happy in the interview and emotionally close to McMillan. Creepy really. McMillan reminded me of Carol Channing of "Hello Dolly" fame in her manner and style of speaking. Wide eyed, exaggerated smiling and slower, slightly baby talk talking? Maybe this weird take on the interview was just my imagination? Someone else may have seen something different.

And now 10's of millions have lost their minimum wage - can't even pay the rent jobs and the Repubs think less amount unemployment payments are spoiling these jobless citizens? The "one time" stimulus checks of $1,200 is all the extra many got for 4 months! Ours went the next day. My car's radiator went out. Battery too. Brakes were gone in front. $1,400 bill. Yes, the extra $600 ( for some ) has helped for sure, but that 3 month long amount has finished and wouldn't cover these Republican legislator's basic household expenses. And know this incredibly sad fact. There are still millions of unemployed Americans who don't even qualify for unemployment! How the heck are they getting by? -

The inevitable end result of our last 56 years
Joe Bauer replied to Joseph McBride's topic in Political Discussions
I always liked Biden's common working person relating and caring speaking style. Telling sentimental working class stories of sitting on his boy's beds and telling them "Champ, you just give it your best honest shot, and everything will work out." Or, "Folks, I know what it's like to worry about the basic bills, to worry about getting basic health care, of worrying whether your kids will get a fair shot at life..." "I care...about plain working folk." It's better than listening to a life long, spoiled rotten, platinum spoon fed, ego maniac bully like Trump who couldn't care less about or relate at all to working class and poorer Americans and their real life concerns, worries and needs if he tried...which he never has...and never will. -
The WC testimony of Harold Norman along with his affidavit taken 11,23,1963 seem fairly believable in his describing hearing rifle shots and spent cartridges hitting the floor above his motorcade viewing position on the 5th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. I do feel a gun was fired from the 6th floor window. However, this could have been a purposeful distraction/diversion part of the shooting plan. It's preposterous to consider that whoever was shooting from the 6th floor did so in the manner described by Norman and others and didn't understand how vulnerable and stupid his actions were. He is seen earlier through his open window by bystanders in the streets below holding the rifle. No concealment whatsoever? He sticks the rifle barrel out past the window frame while shooting which makes it visible to at least one person below ... Amos Euins. He sits so close to the open window people on the street can see his clothing, his general build, skin tone and hair style, color, etc. The shooter might as well have hung a big red banner down from his window saying "HERE I AM...THE SHOOTER OF JFK!" The shooter didn't take into account that there were probably people directly below him watching the motorcade while he is shooting? The TXSBD 6th floor shooter made his presence so obvious and visible it defies logic except in the sense that he wanted to be seen and heard. Oswald was smarter than this. Let's say Oswald did take one potshot at Walker earlier in the year. If he did, he planned this with common sense cover. He did so in the cover of night. Probably in some type off ground cover position - shrubs, trees. No people around to see him. He shoots one time and then takes off running. More shots and neighbors might run out to see what's going on. That's common sense cover planning. Contrast that with hanging close in and almost out of an open window of a large flat sided building visible to hundreds right below building and with so much bright sunlight shining right on him to make him even more visible. He holds his rifle close enough to the open window street bystanders Carolyn Walthers and Arnold Rowland below can even describe it. Then he starts firing with his gun sticking out the window and with the gun shots being so loud and powerful everyone is going to start looking around. And he doesn't fire once and run, he fires 2 or 3 times more! If Oswald was the TXSBD 6th floor shooter, he must have been on a suicide mission. He was intelligent enough to know how crazy his broad daylight visible exposure and with multiple shots his odds of being seen were 100%.

Dear God...what a crime. -
"Sniper's Paradise." "Murder Plaza." After years of seeing aerial views of Dealey Plaza it is exactly that. So obvious! Not only do you have the much more open space tree, fence, wall and railroad yard obscured hiding places ( and get away places ) on the ground level and the typical tall building sniper perches on elevated levels but this is "the only place" along the entire motorcade route where JFK's limo would have to make "two" speed slowing 90 degree turns which were clearly against presidential motorcade security protocols according to Colonel Fletcher Prouty. Any supposedly highly trained and experienced security planning person who took a preliminary safety evaluation drive on the route before the actual motorcade easily would have ( or should have ) noticed these two 90% turn risk increasing anomalies and perhaps blocked off Dealey Plaza from pedestrian gathering while JFK was passing through it? As well as the almost 200 yard long stretch of tree, fence and wall lined hiding places situation on the elevated grassy knoll all along Elm to the freeway entrance. Imo, It would be common sense easy to see the gunman hiding potential there just as much as seeing this with the railroad overpass at the end of it. You would think that the DPD would have positioned some officers behind the top of the grassy knoll and in the large open adjoining parking area to keep anyone from hiding under the shaded tree canopy all along the picket fence. Not one DPD officer was assigned there? They had a couple on the railroad overpass, but even there, wasn't the top of this supposed to be cleared of any person as JFK passed underneath? Great security work there. I have read over and over the official excuse for the 90 degree Dealey Plaza turn off at the end of the motorcade route. That it was the only way to route JFK's limo onto the right freeway to get to the Trade Mart. That bypassing Dealey Plaza and staying on Main made this access impossible. Not researched enough to make any solid conclusions about the truth to this explanation/excuse claim, but still it seems common sense to at least consider it with suspicion considering how much risk was taken to get off of the wide open Main street route. And lastly, I have watched several videos of Clint Hill interviews where he was asked about the security protocols regards higher building sniper risks along presidential motorcade routes. Can't remember exact quotes of Hill's responses, however I believe they were almost always something along the line of vague " manpower " issues. ... Can't check em all ya know. I always wondered, since one of the most considered risks of Presidential security was a shooting from above, how there could be such a simplified and obviously inadequate plan to address that risk? In Dallas, how many men would it have taken to place a security officer on each roof of each high rise in the downtown area? Even if it was twenty or thirty or even forty or fifty, the other agencies had this kind of man power. Yet, Dallas Sheriff Decker told his men to not even be a part of the motorcade security! If someone was on top of the 5 high rises in Dealey Plaza with binoculars on 11,22,1963, I guarantee you, scanning the windows beneath them any shooter in the TXSBD would have been spotted within seconds. Also, as I have mentioned before on this subject, to me as a totally untrained security person but just using common sense, I would have had a specific tall building threat risk plan to have officers on the ground with binoculars, whose job it would be to continuously scan the open windows of the buildings above them ( and no other function ) starting minutes before the arrival of the President's car, during it's passing underneath and even after until the limo was far enough passed to be of risk. Doesn't that sound Junior High simple, obvious and logical? Critics will say "easy to consider in hindsight." I say BS to that. It's a no-brainer, especially when the SS had to consider the high building risk factor so many times before and had the chance to come up with such a simple common sense protocol, imo.

The Garrison Tapes: A John Barbour Film
Joe Bauer replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I remember watching Johnny Carson's interview of Garrison on his "Tonight Show." Carson was so antagonistic toward Garrison it was shockingly revealing. Like we got a glimpse of "the real" Johnny Carson. Not his light humor, more easy going and seemingly respectful manner toward his guests side. Carson seemed seething with contempt for Garrison. It was so obvious, it was down right ugly. The guy was a hard ass. And from what I have read about Carson since, this was much more his demeanor in real life. I recall hearing the studio audience cheering and loudly applauding Garrison several times in the interview, versus silence every time Carson would make a contrary response to Garrison's points. The enthusiastic Garrison supporting audience responses seemed to just incense Carson from what I remember seeing of his facial expressions during them. You could tell Carson's audience was sympathetic toward's Garrison's suspicion regards the official WC lone gunman findings. Just like the majority of Americans polled back then and since. Joe Namath on Johnny Carson..." Johnny Carson was a mean drunk." Wayne Newton on Johnny Carson.. "He was a mean spirited person." He sure was toward Jim Garrison the night he interviewed him on his TV show. And yet Jim Garrison was the respectful opposite in his manner toward Carson. And who could read Micah's post, with quotes from Bruce Pitzer's wife regarding what she knew, felt and experienced after her husband's death, and not feel valid and rational suspicion regards his death and the official finding of suicide? This was the man's wife at the time of his death. Could there be any more solid witness to the mental state of Bruce Pitzer at the time of his death being on a suicidal level versus not? And did Pitzer have fresh mangled hand injuries when he was found dead...or not? -
The Garrison Tapes: A John Barbour Film
Joe Bauer replied to Douglas Caddy's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Yes, a great doc centered around Garrison. Too bad the New Orleans PD booking officer who Clay Shaw told his real alias (Clay Bertrand) to was blocked from testifying and sharing this at the trial by the judge. And loved the commentary of Garrison's investigator Lou Ivon and assistant D.A. Bill Alford. Amazingly shocking and sickening how many main stream media giants ( even the New York Times!) labeled Garrison's trial of Shaw "a Circus." Shaw was a man of many deep secrets. His extracurricular social activities particularly. The mentioning by Alford of Shaw's extensive home collection of S&M whips, chains, hooks, strapping restraints, capes, marble penis statues etc, in the least clearly shows the public image Shaw was nothing like the private life Shaw and also proves Shaw's long time practiced proclivity for hiding truths about himself, even under oath. Isn't it a shame, that this important documentary has only been viewed a little over 300 times? It should be shown to millions of Americans who want to know about or care about perhaps the most important criminal act ever perpetrated against our nation and that has hugely and negatively effected our entire society ever since. And to know the truly heroic place Jim Garrison should occupy in our real history. -

This particular virus is a true monster. It goes after the entire body, including brain cells! I wouldn't be surprised to eventually hear that it even damages reproductive systems. Perhaps leaving male victims impotent? How do you find a cure for something this total body attacking? And so easily spread? And now I have read that giant monster hornets from Asia ( the size of Brazil nuts!) are being found in our Northwest. 8 to 10 can wipe out an entire hive of honey bees ( thousands ) in just a few hours. Multiple stings can kill humans. I know, I know, I am the most fear obsessed member on this forum. Still, we must admit, the times they are a-changin' ... and way beyond what Bob Dylan had in mind. -

We have mountain lions that come down out of the Los Padres National Forest and roam our residential streets because we have so many deer here. Ripped apart deer carcasses are discovered here two or three times a year. I've never hunted. Never owned a gun.
