Since I first posted the original thread Trump has been immersed in more than a dozen new outrageous nation troubling, dividing and concerning controversies with him at the center. The protest tear gassing, bible holding photo op in front of the church, his defending Confederate names of bases, his tweeting a "White Power" shouting video, his new "Bountygate" affair, his push back on Black Lives Matter, his humiliating Tulsa rally turnout ( 6,000-no outdoor crowd at all ) after bragging about having 60,000 there, his team pulling separation tags off seating there, his endangering 3,000 people attending his no mask Phoenix church rally, his advance campaign team contracting the virus, his SS members under quarantine... and on and on. It never ends! Oh, and don't forget the thrashing of Trump by Bolton in Bolton's new book where among many outrageous charges, Bolton claims Trump asked the Chinese to help him in our next election ! Followed by Trump's attacking Bolton as "washed up" before he (Trump) even appointed him to his staff ( uh, which makes Trump look totally incompetent again ) , the court rejection of a Bolton book stoppage, the SCOTUS rejection of Trump's agenda in two areas including abortion, the rejection of the Trump family's lawsuit to block his niece's tell-all. This is just the latest "one month's" worth of almost unbelievable craziness involving our President. Cherries on top of a mountain sized sundae of 3 and 1/2 years of the most authority and constitution abusing, unethical and nation angering and dividing and anxiety causing presidential leadership in 100 years. What more does our mainstream news media have to see us suffer through before they finally call for Trump's resignation in a unified consensus way as they did regards Nixon in 1974 and Clinton during Lewinski times? Okay, so there is possibly only 6 more months of Trump madness, however, the call for his resignation to end all this nation dividing craziness is just as needed and valid right now. Some well known figures in the main stream media individually have and are still passionately calling for this. Chris Hayes at MSNBC is the latest. But, by and large, the MSM has purposely downplayed Trump's constant and never ending crazy nation dividing and upsetting behavior. No consensus front page calls for Trump to resign ( like they did with Nixon and Clinton ) which has enabled him in getting away with it all without consequences. And it looks as if they will continue doing so until he is voted out. What a monumental failure of their most basic tenets and ethics and responsibility by our protective fourth estate imo. The Trump presidency has been like a surreal, exaggerated crazy TV reality show. What a relief ( hopefully ) from this national anxiety causing nightmare come this following January 20th.

Nattering nabob here ( plagiarizing Spiro?) ready to cut and paste my talking points at your service RW. Just a few thoughts on Barr in regards to the Epstein/Maxwell affair. Haven't given it much thought, but who wouldn't have at least some suspicion and doubts about Barr's true agenda? I mean, look how seriously and competently he handled the Jeffrey Epstein incarceration situation. Epstein was placed in Barr's federal prison system and within just a few days he attempts suicide? Complete with bruises and cuts to his face and neck? So, with that most powerful statement by Epstein that he is the ultimate suicide risk, Barr's prison staff leaves him in a cell with at least head high bunk bed railings, cloth sheets, cameras that are supposed to watch Epstein constantly but somehow stop working, the guards nearest his room don't even check on him and fall asleep in the wee hours when he hangs himself ... and later his autopsy shows the kind of neck bone injuries that occur with much more force than a hanging from no higher than one's body length, etc. etc. And the staff that are this worst case scenario negligent aren't even fired! Let alone the Warden herself? No person with any common sense wouldn't be highly, highly suspicious of a prison suicide happening just 2 to 3 weeks after this same inmate tried to kill himself in the same cell days earlier. If Barr's federal prisons are that incompetent, negligent, poorly administered, run and staffed that one of the highest profile and known suicidal prisoners in the world are left in the care of such a facility with the worst results possible, then it makes sense to not just blame Barr overall, but to mistrust him as well. Surveillance video from Jeffrey Epstein's first apparent suicide ... www.nbcnews.com › news › us-news › surveillance-vid... Jan 9, 2020 - Video taken from outside Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell on the day of his first apparent suicide attempt has been permanently deleted, federal ... Missing: pictures ‎| Must include: pictures It seems the only public protecting law enforcement authority trying to actually carry out their oath abiding duty here is the Southern District Of N.Y.! And Trump and Barr are fighting them at every legal and political turn. Who are the real "nabobs" here?

I haven't heard anything about their personal relationship except a report that Melania may have renegotiated their prenup after hearing of her hubby's trysts with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. I don't know how their sex lives are between them. But I just can't imagine it being very good. I think Melania will file for divorce from Trump as soon as he is out of the White House.

So W. are you actually saying Trump isn't even honest about his golf round score keeping?

And one must also consider Trump's ability to take full circle golf swings and keep his super top heavy 240 lbs framed body from falling down as fairly impressive. Seriously, for a guy who hardly sleeps, eats lots of McDonald's type food, weighs 240 pounds, must take ginger steps going down ramps ( anyone notice his wide eyed, baboon hooing facial expression while doing this as well? ) tolerates tanning booth burns, and at 74 years old can still keep his hot 24 years younger wife satisfied is quite remarkable. Physically, I can understand how some might look at Trump as ... a real stud!

How about running Marina Oswald's first televised interview through the stress test? My guess is her famous statement when asked whether she thought her husband was guilty of shooting JFK " I don't want to believe, but I have too many facts and facts tell me that Lee shot Kennedy." would be off the charts in stressful disbelievability. Notice Marina's eyes shoot a nervous gaze straight up to the ceiling and her eyes blink a quick three times before she answers? Her over-all demeanor in this interview however, is amazingly calm and composed in my opinion for a young woman under the incredible stresses she had gone through the three months previous. And her English speaking and comprehension skills seem much more advanced than so many had said they were not. And I always feel a great physical attraction toward her in this interview. No wonder Oswald fell hard for her. Back in those days most of us guys in America thought all Russian women looked like big boned, thick ankled, babushka wearing, weathered faced Earnest Borgnine look-a-likes pulling plows. 6:05NOW PLAYING Marina Oswald First TV Interview Following the events in November 1963 Also DeGrilla mentions that this stress analysing evaluation process is very expensive. I'm sure. Just like expert comparative body type and movement forensic photo analysis. I always hoped that the photo of the man Colonel Fletcher Prouty said was Ed Lansdale walking by the three tramps ( back view ) in front of the TXSBD building the afternoon of 11,22,1963 could be examined by experts in this field, but alas, it's just too expensive to have done as well. And I still want to know if Seth Kantor was telling the truth when he stated he met Jack Ruby at Parkland hospital the afternoon of 11,22,1963. His "Trial Of Lee Harvey Oswald" testimony saying this is very easy to access on You Tube. If Kantor was telling the truth and Ruby in denying this wasn't, it really is important in knowing that Jack Ruby was blatantly lying about his actions on the actual day of JFK's death. Revealing Ruby's total lack of credibility. And here is another well known audio tape analysis test that many have done in their own homes and is not just fun, but super cheap as far as costs. That is to play any person's taped words "backwards" through the reel and see if any unusual words come through. You know, like people have done with the Beatle songs? Would love to know what reverse tape playing of many of Oswald's comments would produce in strange words. And could you imagine what this reverse tape recording process would reveal with Donald Trump? Holy Toledo! I think even Sigmund Freud himself would be shocked.

I still see the Muchmore snap shot being taken a micro-second before Zapruder's 313 frame. What are the odds that Zapruder's 313 and Muchmore's shot were snapped at exactly the same time? I mean, to a micro-second degree. Seems logical to me that this would explain Moorman and Hill being very slightly farther back on the Zapruder film. I see the vertical straight up shot of brain and bone projection from JFK's head being visibly higher and more noticeable in the Z-313 frame versus the Muchmore shot. Just my observation.

By the way, Cruz Sr, was the exact same age as Oswald being born in 1939. I've tried to find any detailed information about Cruz Sr, especially after he graduated from The University Of Texas in 1961. Where he lived specifically. There seems to be an information black hole in this period after his graduation as far as where he lived and where he worked. In his Wiki entry all it says about this is that he ( Cruz Sr. ) married and "moved to New Orleans in his twenties." That's it. No mention of what year in his twenties he moved there. Cruz was very politically active and involved when he lived in Texas and was in school there. He gave talks many times to church and political groups about his experiences in Cuba and fighting the Batista forces and then Castro forces, being taken prisoner and eventually making his way to the U.S. and pulling himself up from nothing to educating himself to achieving a college degree. So, we know he moved to New Orleans. Probably within a year or so after graduating. He moves to one of the most extreme political activist cities in the country regards anti-Castro movements and organizations. And he just instantly and completely stops any political activity and involvement among his own Castro hating people there? Please.

Did Thornley say he attended the DLI ( Defense Language Institute) in Monterey, CA.? He would have had to have been in the military at the time. He studied what language...Spanish? I have lived 1 to 3 miles from the school most of my life. I have known dozens of people who were either instructors, children of instructors and later military people studying there. One lady student soldier explained to me one part of her program was a complete immersion into whatever language you were learning. For many weeks where she couldn't even go home and be with her husband and children. I remember her husband saying that in those weeks she would be gone and speaking only one language. In her case this was Spanish. We knew each other through a shared family interest of buying and collecting sports cards ( my son loved the hobby ) for a year or two. I understand that this method of complete immersion 24/7 for many weeks ( besides a long term program ) is a long time proven one that works quite well. Did Thornley ever say he went to this school and was he ever asked if Oswald attended it as well.

Questions regards photos. Is this Thornley directly above? The carved pumpkin to the right of his knee tells you this was taken in late October. But what year? And where? In the photos of Oswald's leaflet passing group above: Some say the small dark haired fellow with the identical thin black tie and white shirt as Oswald was Raphael Cruz Sr. ( Senator Ted Cruz's father. ) And Cruz Sr. was living in New Orleans the entire time Oswald was there and passing out his leaflets. Whether or not this man is Cruz Sr. he does look totally Cuban. And what Cuban in his right mind is going to thrust himself into a broad daylight public spectacle of pro-Castro activity in one of the top two fanatical, hot headed anti-Castro communities in America ( New Orleans ) in the Summer of 1963? The other being Miami. The anti-Castro groups in these cities were so so extreme in their anger and hatred of Castro, they were constantly planning life and death risk taking measures to take back their homeland if the opportunity to do so could be realized. Oswald was physically confronted and assaulted by members of this group at another leaflet passing. One would think these same angry Oswald attackers might be even more agitated at seeing an actual Cuban born person helping Oswald pass out his pro-Castro leaflets. The other out-of-place character in the photos ( besides the big pompadour, blond, taller and super thin, sunken cheeks Shelley look-alike ) is the short, muscular, swarthy, hairy armed, sun glasses wearing character in the lower right. Was this guy a leaflet passing helper too? Just needing a few dollars at the time? Or was he just a passerby at the time of the photo? The guy just radiates a sinister, covert, aggressive energy to me. Kind of a David Morales type presence? He looks Cuban as well.

Wow!

Haven't studied the subject much. JFK/RFK/MLK conspiracy is about all I can handle. However, I did try to find as many high rise controlled demolition videos on line as I could once and not one of those buildings in those videos fell any more symmetrically in their own footprint as perfectly as building 7, which was supposedly not even a controlled demolition. Also in one of the videos posted by WN, we see what I assume is a firefighting expert who mentions past high rise building fire collapses in Pittsburg and L.A. etc, and he said "we" "have never seen" a building collapse from fire as the Twin Towers did. Certainly lots to chew on regards more to the story in my opinion. Just curious, how much did building owner Larry A. Silverstein collect in insurance in the end?

Bill Barr is Trump's Ed Clark/John Cofer?

Yes, I was also dumbfounded when Trump's attack against John McCain as not being a hero didn't ruffle Republican legislators or even our top military leaders anymore than if he ( Trump) was disparaging Rosie O'Donnell. I believe that in many ways our main stream media could report and paint these outrageously bad Trump actions and words as much more powerfully offensive and wrong than they do, and that they could damage Trump's standing to degrees of consensus calls for him to resign. You know, the hundreds of Newspaper headlines calling for Clinton's resignation after his perjury verdict? Or calls for Nixon to resign in 1974. But, nothing like that has occurred with Trump. His hugely unethical actions and public comments are 100X times more egregious and numerous than any president we have ever seen, yet, they are not met with the media outrage that was bestowed upon Clinton, Nixon, etc. They are reported. And even condemned but not seriously. Then, these outrageous Trump action and comment incidents are dropped off of the front pages and as everyone knows, the average American attention span is good for about 3 days, if the issues at hand are buried and no longer front page news. I mention this news media Trump controversy downplaying and numbing in several past threads. It just stinks in it's dereliction imo. And I know it's so often said, but it's still true. If Obama had uttered or tweeted 1/100th of the outrageous and insulting or inflaming comments Trump has made in his 3 1/2 inglorious years of tweeting and rally comedy routines, calls for his resignation throughout our media would be incessant and long term. The sexual predator damage to Trump would be much more powerful if it were simply given much more "main stream" coverage than it has. It's been reported of course, but not to any real widespread degree that we saw with Roy Moore in the Alabama senate race. Increase this coverage and I believe it will be more effecting of women voters, even former Trump voting ones, than it has.

I wonder if upon his July 3rd visit to Mount Rushmore,Trump might suggest the 5th and final carving space available there be used to depict his bust? I'm serious! And if he does, his weary damage control WH team will once again tell the world a day later their most used Trump defending line ..."The President was just making a joke." And if Trump's scowling face bust were carved into Mount RM, is there any chemical that could be applied to the granite to give it an orange tint? Most U.S. Presidents in our history have one or two legacy quotes or speeches attributed them exclusively over any others. JFK " Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You..." Nixon " I Am Not A Crook." George Bush "Read My Lips." Bill Clinton " I Never Had Sex With That Woman...Ms. Lewinski..." Dwight Eisenhower - MIC Farewell Speech. FDR " ... Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself" Trump's most well known quote by far? "You Can Do Anything...Grab Em By The P#$$y." Kind of says it all, imo.

I have a suggestion for the Democrats this year in regards to strategies to defeat Donald Trump. In the recent 2017 Alabama Senatorial election Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore. It was a nail biting close election. Decided by what ... 21,900 votes! It really was a shocking and historically important victory. Alabama voted for Trump 62% to 34% for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. How in God's name could a somewhat moderate Democrat, ANY Democrat, defeat a typical Alabama "Good Ole" Boy" just one or two years after this state voted Republican by a huge 28% margin? I think it was because of the introduction of one specific super dynamic voter effecting issue over all others ... sexual predation. Roy Moore was labeled and pounded in the press as such and I believe that many, many women voters in Alabama were convinced of Moore's involvement in this behavior and just could not vote for someone they believed was guilty of this crime. The charge was so deeply disturbing to these women voters that I suggest it actually over-ruled their main and deeply held long term generational justification for voting republican...race. I think the deepest emotional fear and revulsion issue with most women is the sexual predator one. They feel lioness protective of themselves, their daughters and grand daughters in this way over any other survival and moral instinct. That's how powerful this particular bad aspect of the candidates background and character can be in gaining or losing women's votes, but only if it is adequately kept in the campaign spotlight and lexicon as it was in the Jones/ Moore Alabama senatorial election. In the case of Trump, his reputation as a sexual harasser and even predator has already been established enough and for such a long time ( laughably bolstered by his "Grab Em By The Pu$$y" tape ) that if the Democrats this year can make this issue one of their top two Trump attack messages, I truly believe that this would turn millions of American women against Trump in the next election. Even those who may have voted for him in 2016 for religious or racists reasons. A broad coverage campaign idea I would suggest in this context is to contact certain celebrities who are against Trump ( and they then could spread the word to others like themselves ) to carry around the recent book on Trump "All The Presidents Women: Donald Trump And The Making Of A Sexual Predator." The book in which 43 women were willing to have their names published along with their personal stories of unwanted and even traumatizing sexual encounters with Donald Trump. And, whenever these celebrities encounter the paparazzi or are actually interviewed in other venues, they should carry the book around and display it in front of or next to themselves so that the book gets the national exposure it deserves. They wouldn't even have to say one word about the book. Just the fact that it would be displayed in so many celebrity photo shots everyone who sees these photos would have to wonder what the book was about and why these celebrities feel it is so important to bring forth in the public discussion and mind set realm. Make Biden favoring Celebrities your own campaign support staff! But, it's this one Trump bad character exposing book over all others that will most deeply effect the American Women emotional and character judging sentiment and concern over choosing our next president imo. None of the other Trump bad character issues...lying, corruption, race baiting, abusing executive authority and stomping on the Congressional ones, insulting others to a shameless degree, tax cheating, business dealings with nefarious characters, sleeping with porn stars while his wife is pregnant, paying women off, coddling dictators and insulting our allies ... none of them would hit the emotional level that the sexual predator issue would and as it did in the 2017 Alabama senatorial election between Republican good ole boy Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones, which saw an unprecedented vote change from a 28% winning vote margin of victory for Trump over Hillary Clinton to a majority vote victory vote for Democrat Doug Jones over Republican Roy Moore in their soon after senatorial election. My take is this one book " All The President's Women: Donald Trump And The Making Of A Sexual Predator" could effect this election in favor of the Democrats via the women's vote more than any other critical book published during Trump's crazy presidency. Call to all Trump concerned celebrities: Carry and display this book like Trump supporters wear those silly red MAGA ball caps, anywhere and everywhere and to as many social gatherings as possible. Hold it up in front of the cameras every opportunity you can. Heck, maybe even creating and wearing Democratic "blue" ball caps that say " We Cannot Vote For A Sexual Predator!" ?

Really interesting. I've posted my own essays several times on this forum about the permeation of corruption throughout our nation's history. Deeper and in so many levels and areas of government, politics, corporate and personal business in everyday life ( in this case educational ) it's institutionalized to a significant degree. I call corruption one of America's top 3 or 4 legacies, if not in the last 150 years, for sure in the last 80 or 90 years and especially after WWII. The average person in this country educated in the typical historical standard way, is naive to this reality in an almost childlike way imo. The entire world has struggled with corruption at the same time of course. Now, today we are still seriously debating the corruptness of politics and business, including our own president and his actions as president ( he WAS the subject of an impeachment trial was he not ?) as well as his long time history in private business and personal life. Well, at least we had one president since JFK who was not so corrupt and even Christian decent and committed in his morals ... Jimmy Carter! The only sexual immorality I ever read about Carter was his public confession that he "lusted in his heart."

One of this man's shots was directed at a paper target with a red circle about 4 inches wide. He hit the middle of the bullseye! Aha! But, this target was a mere ...10 feet away! I wonder what the odds would be for this really good rifle shot man to get this same red target bullseye at 26X the distance? And a moving one at that? Yes, JFK's head was the typical 6 inches wide...but that is only 1 and 1/2 X the width of the 10 foot away red circle paper 4 inch wide target. Barely any difference. So many common sense physical measurement, target movement and time frame contradictions in the Oswald/6th floor/ accuracy scenario. And, one cannot ignore the fact that Oswald missed a lighted and absolutely stationary General Walker at an even closer shooting distance than 265 feet, under the less stressful cover of evening darkness and with all the time in the world to line up his shot. And yet he supposedly hits a bullseye on a 6 inch wide target, 265 feet away, and that is moving in 3 dynamic ways ( sideways, downward and farther away ) with a cheap crap rifle with a dysfunctional scope and under the most stressful life and death risk conditions one could imagine? Oswald's 6 inch wide bullseye accuracy under those circumstances is almost unbelievable, as is his simple walking away from the TXSBD while it is crawling with dozens of adrenaline super charged police personnel as well as press and traumatized employees!

Sounds reasonable.

You don't have to watch the entire video as much of it is boring. However, this older fellow who is describing and using the rifle seems not only a true expert on older rifles but an amazing crack shot as well! He is easily hitting targets up to 50 or more yards away. 30:18NOW PLAYING Carcano M38, the Lee Harvey Oswald RIFLE. Shooting and discussing the Carcano M38, set up exactly the way Lee Harvey Oswald's M38 with scope. One target ( the farthest one away he shoots at) he calls the "Gong." When he hits this metal plate target you hear it's gong sound. And he hits other targets all over his home made test range ( all closer than the gong ) one after another, rarely missing. And every shot he takes he does so standing "straight up" with no bracing on a platform or stand! To me it makes his accuracy even more impressive. The only comments he makes about Oswald's guilt or innocence are that he thinks a shooter from the 6th floor window could have gotten 3 shots off in the 6 second time frame with this specific bolt action rifle. He seems like a gun tech type of guy and goes on about the Carcano as simply a shooting weapon. He does mention the gun's history and while not clearly saying the gun is a piece of crap he seems to imply it is only a decent gun at very close range and demonstrates this with his shooting of it. The rifle he uses was purposely outfitted with the same make of scope as the rifle Oswald reportedly had. Funny, he immediately tries to use this scope while lining up his first shots and gives up, saying either the scope he has is individually bad ( like looking through fog? ) or this type of scope is also just bad. He takes two shots at this gong using the scope and completely misses it! He then just gives up using the scope at all and instead lines up his shots strictly using the fixed guides. And using just those guides, he hits the gong and almost every other target as well. Obviously this guy is a crack shot. Looks like he could hit a stationary squirrel in a tree at 40 to 50 yards! A real life Sergeant York. On that farthest away target however ( the Gong - which I am guessing is somewhere in the distance range or maybe even closer than the so-called third shot from the TXSCB to JFK limo) the shooter hits this but three important dynamics of the so-called Oswald third shot are not at play. One, that "Gong" target the man is shooting at is much, much larger in total size than JFK's head. Maybe 4 X or 5 X larger? Second and thirdly, JFK's much smaller ( only six inches wide ) target head was moving in two and even three different directions when it was hit, not stationary like this man's gong. JFK's upper body and head was slumping/moving to his left several inches ( maybe even a foot or two) into Jackie's arms just before the final head shot. Plus, the Presidential limo was moving as well, farther away and on a down hill slope so JFK's head target was moving in three directions as the shooter was lining up this head shot. I wonder if this remarkable sharp shooting man in the video could so easily hit a target at the same distance of his Gong with the Carcano he was firing, if this target were 1/4th the Gong's size, moving sideways and to the left and also moving farther away and on a downward angle all at the same time he is lining up his shot? And one can logically assume that whoever fired the Carcano rifle shot into JFK's smaller, moving sideways and farther away and downward head on 11,22,1963, would be under way more stress and urgency than this fellow in his super relaxed back yard shooting situation. Place yourself in Oswald's alleged shooting situation on and at the sixth floor window. Oswald knows this is very possibly a suicide mission. He is shooting at the President of the United States! He might be seconds away from being blown apart himself. If his palms weren't at least a little sweaty and his heart racing he must have been Manchurian Candidate hypnotized. He's shooting for just 6 seconds from an open window with the rifle barrel sticking out of the window and knows that of the hundreds of bystanders and security on the ground in front of him, at least a few could very easily ( probably ) be drawn by the shot sounds and see him in the window doing this. Oswald misses his target completely with the first loud booming attention drawing shot. Under a small and closing time frame window this first shot miss just makes the next shot or two even more urgent and stressful. He then hits JFK ( and Connally? ) but he still can't run and try to make a getaway as he has to be certain he surely "kills" his target. With just one or two seconds left in his shooting time frame window he must take and make this final shot. One that is tougher in accomplishing than the first two by far, not just because of increasing urgency and his own personal safety risk stress, but also the growing distancing and movement of Kennedy upper body away from him as he is literally lining up this third and most important head shot. Yet, he not only hits this 265 feet away and moving 6 inch wide target but does so with an almost "bullseye" accuracy! Question - how could JFK's shooter miss JFK's head with his second shot when JFK was much closer to him, and his upper body and head were much more stationary? Since this Sergeant York backyard shooting exhibition of a similar Mannlicher Carcano does not include these other factual physical dynamics involved with the JFK shooting, it doesn't mean much imo. And to think, this video shooter couldn't even use the same type scope supposedly used on Oswald's rifle because it was so poorly made.

So, LBJ did nothing to Castro and his regime in retaliation for one main reason, that doing so would have triggered WW III with Russia? A dinky little island leader brutally takes out our sitting president in broad daylight and gets away with it for 50+ years? We tried to take out Castro "before" JFK. The powers to be in our country were willing to go "that far" in getting rid of Castro with reasons for doing so that couldn't come close to the "act of war" reason if and when Castro took out our commander in chief? Why wouldn't we worry about Russian retaliation when we tried to off Castro before JFK? If Le May and the other members of the Joint Chiefs wanted to bomb the heck out of Cuba twice before 11,22,1963 but were held back by JFK, now they had even more reason to level Castro's little military empire. And are we to believe that Khrushchev and Russia's own military expected us to not retaliate against Castro after the ultimate act of aggression against us? If one of our small country ally leaders did the same to Khrushchev, you think Russia would hesitate in obliterating that leader and their regime? If Castro did JFK, and our government and LBJ really knew and believed he did, we would have in the least, made life for Castro and Cuba in general a living hell, much more than we ever did. We would be obligated and highly, morally justified in doing so. In many real ways however, Castro did all the JFK haters in this country a favor. I believe they felt this way. The hate of JFK was so strong and virulent and widespread that we know there was relief, rejoicing and even celebration in many JFK hating realms when he was whacked. 36 year employed Murchison family housemaid May Newman recollected upon the JFK assassination: "The mood in the Murchison family home was very joyous and happy. For a whole week after like champagne and caviar flowed, every day of the week. But I was the only one in that household at that time that uh felt any grief for his assassination." All of LBJ's legal problems instantly went away the second JFK was killed. And his arch enemy Bobby Kennedy completely neutralized at the same time. I don't think General Walker, Bill Harvey, David Morales, E.H. Hunt, Dulles. LeMay, H. L. Hunt, Guy Banister, Ferry, Joseph Milteer and millions of other rabid JFK haters shed one tear upon hearing of JFK's brutal end or called for Castro's head in the immediate speculative talk about Castro's involvement. Some might have even proposed a toast to Castro if they really thought he did it imo. Castro did JFK? Please, he would have been toast if our highest levels of our government and military actually knew and believed Castro committed this ultimate act of war against us. Instead he was allowed to flourish for 5 more decades? Hogwash.

Agree.

The divide between our economic classes is wider than it has ever been. California has areas of incredibly high wealth that are only miles from areas of great poverty. I read that 85% of America's wealth is held by just 10% of it's population.

In my lifetime here on the West Coast the greatest life and society changing real life dynamic for millions of middle to poor income citizens has been the explosion of the cost of housing, especially rents. Rent costs have gone up 400 to 500% AND MORE over a 30 year period, while incomes for over half of all Californians have only risen maybe 1/4th of that. Years ago our own government issued family health budget advise that recommended a formula for family expenditures that suggested a rent or home buying expense of no more than 1/4th to 1/3rd of an entire monthly income. If one earned $1,500 gross ( not take home ) monthly income ( millions did before the 1990's ) their rent costs should have been no more than $400 or $500 a month for them and their family to get by with decent, safe housing in decent safe areas of residency. The reality now is that those $1,500 income jobs still only pay about $2,000 or slightly more gross ( again for 10's of millions of manual labor employed Californians ) but those $400 to $500 rentals are now $1800 to $2,500 a month for apartments ( one bedrooms for $1,800!) and WAY MORE for homes! Housing and rental costs now take "entire take home pays" for millions and millions of American ( especially Californian ) workers! There's nothing left for all the other basics! This real crushingly out of control and out of whack with real income rent robbery ( include trillions in student loan debt to boot ) has resulted in young people holding off getting married, having children, living on their own and instead having to live with parents into their thirties, not even considering the fantasy American dream of home ownership with people laughing when asked if they believe this is achievable. Our adult children are in their thirties. They have college degrees. They happened to choose fields of study in college that do not equate into higher paying jobs such as engineering, medical, legal, business management , etc. They have student loan debt still. They have struggled ever since they got out of college with not being able to afford rental housing. They both work and have worked full time jobs that pay $15 to $18 and even $20 an hour gross. They have said the reason they have not married and had kids even into their thirties is they can't even afford to provide the basic living needs just for themselves! Both our children have had to live with us and share rents for most of their after college time. We even need their shares to pay our rents ourselves! We didn't buy a home here back before 1985 when you might find one for $125,000 to $150,000. We never had enough for a down payment and mortgage payments on even that amount was a scare for us. We paid 5 to $600 a month for rent back then WITH KIDS! Purchasing a home in that price range would have tripled our housing expense. Now, the same homes in our area that rented for $500 To $600 a month are $2600 to $3,700 a month now. And even in areas of California that are inland like Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton, etc, The rents are maybe only 10 to 15% cheaper. I am not exaggerating the numbers here. Housing costs in California are insane and totally life changing for millions in their crushing economic and social effect. So, move to a trailer park in Salina, Kansas or just outside of Paduka, Kentucky if you don't like the housing costs in Calif.? I say to these critics...you move there!

Just my observation but JFK's head in frame 313 of the Z film snaps forward several inches when the bullet hits. Also, it looks to me in the Muchmore frame that Moorman's position relative to the Limo and the motorcycles in that shot "is" slightly different than where she is shown in Z film frame 313. However, I believe this is explained by the Muchmore shot being taken a micro-second before Z film frame 313. In the Muchmore shot the ejaculation of JFK brain matter is just beginning, where as in Z 313 it is hugely more fully engaged into a heavy, broad, bright pink colored spray including a very visible shot of blood and perhaps bone shooting upwards above the limo as well. A spray so colorful and expansive, close by eyewitnesses like Bill Newman even mentioned it's vividness. In the Muchmore pic you don't see the "fuller" JFK brain spray you see in Z 313. And notice also in Z film frame 313, that driver William Greer is turned a full 180 degrees backwards and looking straight at JFK both before and during the head shot. No driver of a moving vehicle turns all the way around like that for even a second or two and still keeps their foot on the accelerator as much as when they are staring straight ahead. JFK's limo had to have slowed down when Greer turned around and as you can clearly see, Greer was fully turned around looking at JFK before JFK's head was actually hit. Hence, the limo was slowed just before the third and fatal head shot. IMO.
