  2. Holy Cow! I thought that he would outlive the devil himself! Who's next?
  3. Thank you Chris, in the notes of the video I posted a link to a frame from the sequence that you shared is posted. Cheers, Michael
  4. Ernie, I think I get your point, tongue-in-cheek, as I perceive it.
  5. Ernie, as an aside, I don't recall you mentioning the Mafia, or Mob-interests all that much. Is that an accurate observation? If so, is there a reason for that? thanks, Michael
  6. Ernie, I didn't mean to suggest that Castro supported Batista. I thought that Batista's corrupt, royalistic lifestyle and desire for his reliance upon his personal dignity and authority were what ran him afoul of interests in the US. I also thought that Castro was deemed to be a better option, but that he was not considered to be a candidate for becoming a Soviet-Block member. *** poorly worded, and I am poorly prepared for a debate with Ernie on this...
  7. Ouch.... I'll have to read-up. I thought our side wanted Batista out.
  8. Castro, as the history now reads, went from right to left. It seems pretty clear to me that Castro, after taking down Batista, saw that he could not have a free and independent Cuba. Nixon, the mob and the Navy wanted their casinos, perks and Guantanamo, in perpetuity, and he did not accept that. His experience forced him away from imperial domination by the US and the criminal destruction of his independent country by the mafia. I get the feeling that Nixon made him nautious with his expectations. Was Castro truly a Communist? I don't think so. He found out that he and his country were going to be truly and wholly owned, and that was an unpalpable proposition. .... yes, I just made-up the word "unpalpable"; oriented to the word "palpable", and distinguished from the word "impalpable". I am an English major, I take such license on occasion. I hope you find it amusing, appropriate, interesting, acceptable; or the opposite of all of those. I just hope that you didn't miss it.
  9. I keep posting this. I wish I did not have to, it needs to be transcribed. I would just copy the relevant text if I could.
  10. A document showing the early interest of Mark Lane in solving the assassination case as well as the FBI's interest in Lane's inquires. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32123917.pdf
  11. In my reading today, I came away believing the Goldwater would have been embraced by the JBS, and, likewise Goldwater would have embraced the JBS if they could have backed away from claims similar to the "Eisenhower is a Communist" claims.
  12. Things seem to have cooled down since our posts, but your suggestion would have been fun to work with in August.
  13. Hi Ty, I missed your reply. I posted it here because it is a current events topic. The thread has not been bumped or replied to in 12 years. I posted it here so as not to clog the JFKA debate forum.
  14. Page 2 of that Doc did not come through. Here is the link. Edit.... adding a link just brings page 1 up again. add "pdf" to this and it will take you to the document. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32123917.
  15. I read a just-released document that demonstrates Mark Lane's early commitment as well as the FBI' interest in Lane's investigation (May, 1964)
  16. I agree. It is very unusual ( I don't remember this ever happening ) for me to receive a notice that I cannot access content because of my location. I would like to know if other Americans are blocked.
  17. NY. It came up so briefly that it didn't even load a whole page. It got as far as loading the title before the re-direct. Your original link loaded fully, with a blacked out video viewer window. That was earlier. Now that does not even load.
  18. Thanks John. I tried that. I saw a few blacked out spaces for article links. I tried a few and one briefly came-up with the correct story, then re-directed to this.... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-wedding-canada-150-1.4185842
  19. Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch society,... "...... identified as Communists who took their orders from Moscow Eisenhower’s brother Milton, then president of Johns Hopkins University; his secretary of state, John Foster Dulles; Dulles’s brother, Allen, then director of Central Intelligence; and former secretary of state George Marshall, among others. In a note Buckley sent Welch along with the returned manuscript, he said that he found the charges against Eisenhower “curiously — almost pathetically optimistic.” If Communist infiltration of the American government was as extensive as Welch claimed, Buckley argued, changing presidents would not relieve the situation. Nor would political organizing. “Reaching for rifles” might be a better approach, Buckley argued." http://www.nationalreview.com/article/448774/william-f-buckley-john-birch-society-history-conflict-robert-welch
  20. I found this. It doesn't help the "William F. Buckley-did-it" part of my CT. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/448774/william-f-buckley-john-birch-society-history-conflict-robert-welch
  21. I would like to hear more details on this. **** edit, from Wikipedia. "Menjou died on October 29, 1963, of hepatitis in Beverly Hills, California." Menjou starred/acted in my favorite film, Paths of Glory.
