  1. My mistake Steve. I think it regarded Bentley having high to hard stress on the PSE when asked about knowing Oswald prior to his arrest.
  2. Not the kind of headline I wanted to read this evening, another record. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-breaks-record-with-nearly-7000-new-coronavirus-cases/ar-BB16aAgh?li=BBnb7Kz I read an article in the Austin American Statesman today about how football might save us all. It's such a big deal here from Friday Night Lights to Longhorns-Aggies-Bears-Raiders- froggies to Cowboys that them not being able to play might shock enough to reality to turn the tide. To mask, stay home or more. I don't think it will work with younger people in particular. Ever partied in a pasture around a bonfire? https://www.statesman.com/sports/20200629/goldenrsquos-nuggets-football-is-best-dangling-carrot
  3. Maybe this 1968 Circus version? You see Lennon dancing at about 4:55. https://my.mail.ru/mail/bebox58/video/11526/13881.html
  4. Frustration in the Golden State. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/our-luck-may-have-run-out-californias-case-count-explodes/ar-BB167I8p?li=BBnb7Kz
  5. I never knew Jim Garrison knew Guy Banister before the assassination or that he once encountered David Ferrie. "When he was with the police department, we had lunch together now and then, swapping colorful stories about our earlier careers in the F.B.I.". Until 1966 Garrison believed the FBI had done a thorough investigation, as well as the Warren Commission. He left the FBI out of boredom from doing security checks for defense industry employees.
  6. I've long thought Oswald went though something such regarding Russian but have no idea if Thornley spoke Spanish or where he learned it if he did.
  7. We have a God given right to let our employee's and customers all infect each other if they want to! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-bar-owners-sue-to-overturn-closures/ar-BB167JLv?li=BBnb7Kz
  8. Orange County Airport. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-wayne-airport-orange-county-democrats-california-name-statue-removal/
  9. Keith's autobiography Life is much better than the documentary imo though I think I'll re watch it. The first chapter floored me for personal reasons. It's about Keith and two others being held but not arrested in Fordyce Arkansas July 5th 1975. That night we went to the Cotton Bowl about 11:00 to see how big the crowd was camping outside waiting to get the best general admission seats when the gates opened at 10:00 the net morning. Went home, changed clothes, got tickets, money cigarettes and other stuff and went back. About 2 or 3 in the morning on someone seated nearby's transistor radio we heard Keith Richards had been arrested in Arkansas and he might not make it to the show or it might be postponed. Somewhere around daylight they announced he'd been released and was on the way. But his story of the day is downright crazy and funny. Worth the price alone though the book gets much, much deeper. In the link above did you notice Brian Jones playing shortly before he died? Mick and Keith are in the documentary I mentioned in a prior post about Muscle Shoals which is pretty great itself. They recorded I think Brown Sugar there, maybe something else. Now I have to decide which first. The dvd Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones of four concerts in Fort Worth and Houston, 1972 Exile On Main Street tour (Keith Owns JJ Flash in this), or, Hampton Coliseum 1981. The same show I was in the Cotton Bowl (again) that year.
  10. You Can't Always Get What You Want. What an inspiring way to end a political rally. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-rolling-stones-tell-trump-campaign-to-stop-playing-their-songs-at-rallies/ar-BB164owG?li=BBnbfcL Never caught that late line before. You can't always satisfy your greed.
  11. Karen? Are you mocking me? I've worn a mask with a cap but not a hat. My hair's getting kind of wild, it's starting to look like Einstein's but I fear my wife cutting it in my sleep and loosing all my strength. I don't know any Karen's other than this one. Always enjoyed the guitar even though it's schmaltzy pop. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+carpenters+goodbye+to+love&view=detail&mid=7B7A6EEC4398EF2B28EC7B7A6EEC4398EF2B28EC&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dthe%2bcarpenters%2bgoodbye%2bto%2blove%26filters%3dufn%3a%22the%2bcarpenters%2bgoodbye%2bto%2blove%22%2bsid%3a%222ef2328a-4227-fa17-edd7-180355e8cc6e%22%2bcatguid%3a%22de15a900-2cf7-e01d-69ab-2a57616349dc_498707c2%22%2bsegment%3a%22generic.carousel%22%2bsecq%3a%22the%2bcarpenters%2bsongs%22%2bpsid%3a%22de15a900-2cf7-e01d-69ab-2a57616349dc%22%2bsupwlcar%3a%220%22%2bsegtype%3a%22U29uZw%3d%3d%22%26FORM%3dSNG1CR%26crslsl%3d972
  12. I read earlier DeSantis said they were in a good place, new cases were down to 8500 yesterday from 9500 on Friday. There's so much BS to deal with beside just trying not to catch the virus. So many ignore any social distancing, masks are mocked. "It's all a plot by those damned liberals". https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-california-restaurant-closed-over-customers-refusal-to-wear-masks-harassment-of-employees/ar-BB164V80?li=BBnbfcL
  13. Lot's of people on facebook locally are PO'd. Vote em' out. In emergency session on Friday the city council canceled plans for the annual 4th of July activities. I heard a radio ad that morning on a Fort Worth radio station, come to Stephenville, 9:00 parade, petting zoo, Ferriss wheel, stay all day for fireworks at 10:00. Stay home. Cowtown has a much better fireworks show. I've seen them both, believe me. Don't mean to be rude but our numbers are already rising. But your part of that four county region that represents 1/4 - 1/5 of the cases in the state. Kudo's to the city council I didn't think had the balls to do this. Not that it will stop the spread, but a step in the right direction. stay home
  14. Shirley you jest too... You named your first born son after Keef?
  15. I had forgotten that not having ever read On The Trail Of The Assassins a little over a year ago I bought a copy on line for under $10 including shipping. I'd skimmed through it, marking a couple of pages with post it notes sticking up. Then for some reason I put it on a bottom shelf of stacked books and forgot about it. Your post jogged my memory. I started on it this afternoon. First I went to page 26, back a couple then forward a couple. On page 24 Garrison proves me wrong about what I thought I saw in the picture I linked a few posts above yours. The entrance on Lafayette was not angled on the corner of it and Camp, it seems likely that was the entrance to the Mancuso Restaurant. The entrance to 531 Lafayette was further down from the corner on Lafayette, on the side of the building. "The entrance at 544 Camp opened onto stairs leading to the second floor. There was something familiar about the building, and it took me a moment or two to refresh my memory. Then I went around the corner past where Mancuso's small restaurant used to be and walked a few steps down Lafayette street to the other entrance to the building. There I found myself looking at what I knew had been - back in 1963 - the entrance to the upstairs private detective office of Guy Banister. . . .the door had borne the designation, "Guy Banister Associates, Inc. Investigators." Looking closer at the picture I linked you can see what looks like a door further down the side of the building. Yeah this is fascinating. On page 26 Garrison says "I turned away from Banister's old office and looked across Lafayette street , where the U.S. Post office Building loomed. Occupying an entire city block, it was majestic and timeless . . . housed the New Orleans Secret Service operation . . . New Orleans headquarters of the Office of Naval Intelligence. . . . Guy Banister, who had begun his career in World War II with the O.N.I., had chosen an office right across the street. . ." At this point I'm thinking if it was across Lafayette street from the Newman/544 Camp/531 Lafayette building it wouldn't have been demolished for the Hale Boggs Federal Building, that was on the Other side of the Newman building. The picture I linked of the Post Office Building from after it's being built in 195 or 1917 was of a majestic and timeless building. But there was no post office in the area when I'd looked on google maps. So I looked again. As I zoomed in in landscape on the opposite corner of Camp and Lafayette from where the Newman building was a street view pop up appeared on the left. Of the Louisiana Medical Examiners offices. The image of the façade of the building is unmistakable. It's the former Post Office building in the 1915/17 picture I linked. I guess the PO outgrew it. But it wasn't torn down but repurposed, because or its majesty and timelessness. Looks like one half houses the Medical Examiners the other half the US Court of Appeals and Fifth Circuit Bar Association. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louisiana+Medical+Examiners+Board/@29.9480157,-90.0705146,170m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8620a6737acec6ef:0xbbeb3fe11c22fcd6!2s544+Camp+St,+New+Orleans,+LA+70130!3b1!8m2!3d29.9481016!4d-90.0697165!3m4!1s0x8620a6739c0a7147:0xc57c907c17597823!8m2!3d29.9473365!4d-90.0697971
  16. Why am I paranoid? 1 in 10 tests positive statewide, local surge. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/reopening-reverses-course-in-texas-and-florida-as-coronavirus-cases-spike/ar-BB161ocJ?li=BBnb7Kz
  17. If you add the INS to this list considering their ID of Thornley, Ferrie and Oswald in Banisters office it's really incriminating. Given the potential roles of the other organizations and the proximity of their offices what are the odds of no associations by any of the parties involved? Until I looked at 544 Camp on google maps I didn't realize the building faced this 2 1/2 acre park, Lafayette Square. A great place to walk and talk or sit on a park bench and talk privately or exchange say instructions or money clandestinely. With the surrounding Federal offices, former FBI Chicago office director, and of others, Bannisters office on the square was quite convenient to all. With Oswald's employer the Riley Coffee Company off to the side, as well as the garage the FBI used, and he supposedly hung out at. Or, meet me in the café in the Newman building I'll have your trip money and instructions. Buy you a coffee or a Falstaff. A prequel to JFK by Oliver Stone, The Summer of 63: New Orleans.
  18. It's been 30 years since I bought into the Mafiaingfish/Contract on America/Blakey stuff as the only alternative I saw at the time to the official story. Which I no longer believed by that point, but didn't know what else to. Get the stone out of my shoe. Cut the head of the dog, not the tail.
  19. Believe it or not I've tried at times to steer or keep this thread at least somewhat on topic in relation to the plague and/or JFK in hopes that it might not be moved or deleted, as those two subjects relate to all readers here. The virus affects us all, we wouldn't be here but for JFK. That said I realize I've gone off topic too. W. who started the thread pointed out a ZZ Top video I thought in the context of things to watch while bored sheltering in place from the plague. Your post about a child sex slavery operation by the Milwaukee PD/Give Me Back My Nudes/child kidnaping/rape house didn't seem to relate to the virus or JFK. Other comments on the thread have digressed. Hopefully it survives, as a place where some can relate to the Plague, JFK and more. Mark, I've enjoyed and found other of your comments interesting and informative, please don't take offense. I just didn't find this one relevant, which means really not much of nothing here. BTW, if anyone else watched and enjoyed the ZZ Top documentary W. recommended you might like this if bored while sheltering in place still, or again. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=muscle+shoals+documentary&docid=607996446469588922&mid=4912DE8629AF1A6EC6A34912DE8629AF1A6EC6A3&view=detail&FORM=VIREHT
  20. Actually lets blame it on a dream of leadership in a time of national crisis. Something we have not seen in a leader since JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis imho. While not four months long JFK did confront the problem head on immediately instead of ignoring or dismissing he led us through it.
  21. Locally the future does not look good covid/plague wise. I'm getting paranoid. Maybe rightfully so. Full screen's best. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=paranoid+black+sabbath&view=detail&mid=64F2BE05CD27B5EDF1CC64F2BE05CD27B5EDF1CC&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dparanoid%2bblack%2bsabbath%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d005410fbb82f48c7bc9278912fcaffff%26sp%3d1%26qs%3dLS%26pq%3dparanoid%2bblack%26sk%3dPRES1%26sc%3d8-14%26cvid%3d005410fbb82f48c7bc9278912fcaffff
  22. As alluded to I thought I'd read somewhere a Post Office/Federal Building was located somewhere near 544 Camp street. One that housed FBI and INS (who documented Oswald, Thornley and others in the Newman building) and if I remember right where Oswald maintained a New Orleans PO Box. Was this one, somewhere on Camp street it? Was it demolished as well for the Hale Boggs Federal building? Quite a nice structure to be destroyed if so. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=W1G6N5Qe&id=072228AD7282F6C232020E55933508482FA21903&thid=OIP.W1G6N5QeOZ_TxQ9USigVJwHaFq&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fupload.wikimedia.org%2fwikipedia%2fcommons%2f9%2f92%2fNew_Orleans_Post_Office_Camp_Street_circa_1917.jpg&exph=2096&expw=2743&q=new+orleans+post+office+1963&simid=608034959419377236&ck=22C976D786EA052EB9B98EB8B9F7F8E9&selectedIndex=5&qpvt=new+orleans+post+office+1963&ajaxhist=0 Camp street did face Lafayette square/park. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=W1G6N5Qe&id=072228AD7282F6C232020E55933508482FA21903&thid=OIP.W1G6N5QeOZ_TxQ9USigVJwHaFq&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fupload.wikimedia.org%2fwikipedia%2fcommons%2f9%2f92%2fNew_Orleans_Post_Office_Camp_Street_circa_1917.jpg&exph=2096&expw=2743&q=new+orleans+post+office+1963&simid=608034959419377236&ck=22C976D786EA052EB9B98EB8B9F7F8E9&selectedIndex=5&qpvt=new+orleans+post+office+1963&ajaxhist=0
  23. With his mask draped beneath his chin the President said, Here before a microphone I can drop my mask to speak with you clearly. It can and will be disinfected after I do so. I wear one to protect my Family, the cabinet and my advisors, the Secret Service and others. You should too. As he put his mask back on an walked away. Blame it on those leftover Colorado chocolate candies from last year. Daydreaming.
  24. Was Manchester on LSD when he wrote this? It sounds a little nuts. I guess an interview with O'Neal was his source? Maybe He was trippin when he described it this way. I thought I remember one layer of rubber to cover the Paper Mache stuffed into the cranial cavity from a obviously different report.
