    • What are 'online visitors'?

      Online visitors are those that are currently actively browsing your community and those active in the last 15 minutes (when their session expires). Our Community in the Cloud packages don't limit the total membership of your community; only the online user count. We calculate on a 48-hour average online count so short-term bursts of traffic should not impact your package level.

  2. A couple of years ago I saw, and notified James about, mass visits of guests, in bursts. I sent him screen shots showing 3 to 4 thousand guests at a time. I am pretty sure that I posted a thread about it.

    I would not characterize the JFK assassination as the most significant political assassination of the 20th century either, even if I believed it to be so.

     

    If the history read that there was a bloody coup in 1963, I would agree with you. But that act, a crypto-coup, sanctioned by silence and lies, augmented by the worldwide political and social ramifications of that lie and that coup, makes it the most significant political event, ever, IMO.

    it’s the ongoing cover-up that makes it so extraordinarily significant.

    Jeffries is wasting everyone's time with this. It was fractured 50 odd years ago already. Nothing new here, move on.

    Actually, it’s important to point out and admonish against the poison that gets vented when something like Oliver Stone’s cordiality toward JVB takes place.

    The negativity and the house-breaking clamor that carried-on after that was embarrassing and destructive.

    Bob,

     

    Is this what a Denial of Service attack is all about?

    Steve,

     

    A denial of service attack essentially floods a site with requests, such that legitimate requests don’t receive a response. Imagine setting up a machine to flood a business with phone calls. Legit customers would get busy signals.

    This is more like having a commercial landlord who bases your rent on how many people walk through the door of your shop.. Some fool or group of them decides to walk in and out to drive up your rent.

    Andy walker made this start page, sometime back...

    http://www.educationforum.co.uk/forum.html

    and announced it on this thread.

    I see advertising on it, sometimes local. Is there some income associated with that page that has been overlooked? Again, I don’t mean to be nosey, and no answer is required. I am just trying to help.

    Also, that start page can be reconfigured such that any EF link takes the user to that page first, and instead of the various EF navigation links that are now on that page, a single single “continue” link could be created that would allow the user to continue on to the link that they initially followed. With one extra click, revenue could be generated,

    I posted this on the “I am sorry” thread.

    A similar start page, with a captcha, or bot-check of some kind should be able to stop the attack.

    A “click here to continue to your page” button should solve the problem.

    I'm not even sure I'm right.  I'd like to listen from the start with a pair of headphones, to get a feel for the context, and decipher all the unintelligible grumblings.

    The "Tom Huston Plan" is, on the surface, more associated with Sullivan than Felt.

    At 9:00 minutes, John Dean gives a good account of the status of transcriptions.

    EDIT

    The tape seems to say that Mark Felt wants to "f***ing kill Sullivan" to keep him from becoming head of the FBI, which Nixon seems to support despite his hatred of Felt for leaking to the press.  Haldeman argues that Sullivan (or Felt?) is a "Tom Houston" kind of guy, and "emotional in the right way"? (c. 0:19.00)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huston_Plan

    NB that Sullivan outlived the Nixon admin (and Hoover), having his hunting accident in 1977.

    Thanks for the explanation. It’s hard to say. It definitely goes to show that there is more work to be done on these transcriptions.

    Ralph Yarborough was on the left-wing of the Democratic Party in 1963. Yarborough was the only member of the Senate representing a former Confederate state to vote for every significant piece of civil rights legislation. This included the Civil Rights Act (1957) and Civil Rights Act (1960). LBJ therefore hated Yarborough and this is why he made so much fuss about where he sat in the motorcade.

    Yarborough continued to be a strong critic of LBJ after he became president. This was especially true of his foreign policy.

    I also brought up this subject in August, 2005 (without any response):

    http://educationforu...?showtopic=4780

    This extract is very interesting:

    Hugh Aynesworth, JFK: Breaking the News (2003)

    Liberal Ralph Yarborough, for example, detested centrists such as Connally and Johnson-and with some reason. The governor and the vice president were never seen doing the senator any favors. Just the opposite. On this trip they seemed determined to put Yarborough in his place.

    Connally was scheduled to host a private reception for JFK at the governor's mansion in Austin that Friday night: Yarborough was absent from the guest list.

    Yarborough's response to that snub: "I want everybody to join hands in harmony for the greatest welcome to the President and Mrs. Kennedy in the history of Texas."

    Then: "Governor Connally is so terribly uneducated governmentally, how could you expect anything else?"

    On Thursday afternoon in Houston, Yarborough had defied Kennedy by refusing to ride in the same car with LBJ. He chose instead to be seen with Congressman Albert Thomas. In San Antonio that morning, Secret Service Agent Rufus Youngblood was gently nudging the senator toward Johnson's limo when Yarborough saw Congressman Henry Gonzalez, a political blood brother, and bolted toward him. "Can I ride with you, Henry?" he asked.

    That evening, employees at Houston's Rice Hotel heard JFK and LBJ arguing over Yarborough in the presidential suite. Kennedy reportedly informed Johnson in strong terms that he felt Yarborough - who had much better poll numbers in Texas than Kennedy - was being mistreated, and the president was unhappy about that.
