  1. Mark I don't think Mr. Kelly has posted here in quite some time. Thanks for the link though. I thought I knew a good bit about Braden/Brading but this goes much deeper. I'd read about him having a partner and them fleecing rich widows, that he had a long arrest record and some about La Costa. But I didn't know about his affiliation with Frattiani or about him becoming a courier for Mo Dalitz Vegas money being taken of the country with two Howard Hughes planes available to do so. The bit about a possible Ruby connection is a stretch bit it is there and should have been investigated. The tread looks interesting, worth a read as well. Thanks for bumping it in the process.
  2. Serious but stable condition. Officers arrested, charged with assault. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/buffalo-police-officers-arrested-after-shoving-75-year-old-protester/ar-BB157YoX?li=BBnb7Kz
  3. He "slipped and fell backward" my ass. Get a medic. Back up, to whoever is filming it. Better get an ambulance for him. We have an EMT on scene. What happened to Martin Gugino? It's not exactly featured M$M news.
  4. Jim, it all gets a lot deeper than the WC exhibit Joe link's here. You won't find any mafia related arrests or news stories about Ruby because he was the payoff guy in Dallas for the Chicago mob to police and other city officials. Guthrie also told the FBI in 1964 that Paul Roland Jones told him in 1946 that Ruby would be the "payoff guy". he was protected by the people he paid off. We need to go back further for context. In early 1946 sheriff of Dallas county for many years Schmid was lackadaisical about running against a inexperienced city cop. Deputy sheriff Bill Decker ran the department for Schmid, took the payoff's from Benny Binion for dice and policy wheel games, as likely well those from Civello/Campisi regarding the drug trade and other gambling in particular. Binion was clearing a million a year, in the 1940's. Paul Roland Jones came to town in early 1946 with associates telling Decker they would take care of Binion and others, offering bribes. Decker arrested four of the top ones for vagrancy including Jones. After keeping them in jail over night he drove them to the county line, kicked them out and said don't come back. Schmid lost the election, they also got a new police chief and DA. Binion took off for Vegas, under indictment with a million in cash, established the Horseshoe, discovered poker and that part's history. Jones came back with more friends and money, tried to bribe new sheriff Guthrie. He couldn't figure out how he could hide $40,000 on a $7,000 a year salary. So he called the DPD chief, DA and Texas Rangers. They dug a hole under sheriff Guthrie's living room and installed a recording device / microphone beneath the floor boards. Poor quality, on vinyl records before tapes. But Ruby's name was heard multiple time as operator of the restaurant/upstairs gambling hall. Guthrie told the FBI in 1964 he was told in 1946 Ruby would be the paymaster. According to Ian Griggs interview of Ruby stripper Shari Angel he was. Vice squad members and detectives went to his office for payment. There's a FBI report of a known traveling gambler whose name escapes me Ruby financed on a set up of a football bet with H L Hunt in the mid 50's. Another of one of his waitresses husband getting clearance from Ruby to participate in the Dallas drug trade, in the mid 50's. He associated with Campisi, the Miller brothers and other known syndicate members. From Santa Anita race track back to Chicago, the waste handlers union, scalping tickets at Soldier Field (knocked out by police and arrested) running numbers with future welter weight champ Barney Ross for Al Capone, he was mobbed up from way back. Though he could never be a made man because he was Jewish. I think that bothered him, but he understood the code.
  5. I've just spent bout 15 minutes in full screen clickng through it almost frame by frame so to speak. The old man is never touched by the cop on the left. They are stopped and the old man is talking to that cop who does raise his left hand towards the old man seemingly telling him to stop as opposed to tryin to strike him. At this time the cop on the right takes a step towards the old man and apparently says something to him because the old man turns first his head then his body towards this officer. He raises his right hand to about stomach level almost like he is trying to shake hands. But he does have something in it, doesn't seem to be a weapon, more like a piece of cloth or something else kind of hanging off the hand. No matter, the cop doesn't seem to notice the gesture or hand at all, he's wading right into him pushes him down and walks on. The original cop on the left does appear to pause and start to bend down but as Richard mentions the one behind him pushes him forward. And they nearly all walk on by. Finally one stops and seems to talk into a microphone clipped to his pocket couple a of times. Between their legs you get first a pretty gruesome view of bright read blood pooling in his ear. Then a few frames later of a pool on the ground. But he's not moving. It goes on to show a small part of another confrontation of a protester with a sign. In the last two "frames" you see first a cop looking through his facemask directly into the camera (phone) lens, then in the last frame the face shield seems to be advancing towards the phone. It's amazing the video made it out, I'm surprised it wasn't confiscated. I guess that cop didn't realize what was on it as he was just coming up from the rear and probably didn't see the assault by the earlier one. The thing that concerns me the most at the moment is what happened to the old man. It seems obvious he was knocked out, likely a concussion. Is he in a coma, did it kill him. it sure as hell could have. The one cop shouldn't have been just suspended, he should have been fired and arrested for assault at a minimum. If the other 57 officers want to quit over this, good riddance. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Kiss your income, insurance and retirement bye. Loose your home, have to start taking food handouts, too bad. Quit trying to kill old men. Or go apply at Blackwater, they're probably hiring during these times.
  6. All 57 of these cops think it's ok to knock down an unarmed, unaggressive old man and leave him laying there unmoving and bleeding from the head? Incredible. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/57-buffalo-officers-resign-from-emergency-response-team-after-two-cops-suspended/ar-BB156hh9?li=BBnbfcL
  7. Who's going to teach my grandkids? 175,000 professors? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-schools-lay-off-hundreds-of-thousands-setting-up-lasting-harm-to-kids/ar-BB152Uhj?li=BBnbfcL
  8. I'm doing really good compared to some so far in the middle of all this and am thankful for it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/people-are-looking-at-me-for-many-who-lost-jobs-in-the-coronavirus-epidemic-hunger-comes-with-shame/ar-BB153gwG?li=BBnbcA1
  9. Zombies are aliens? I'll probably be too scared to sleep tonight. But if I do and never wake up, I'll never know the difference.
  10. Not exactly but maybe similarities? No FBI Bannister running the Carousel but still maybe Ruby influenced by others. Meetings by others Ruby knew some of, possible. But I don't think he was involved in planning or the assassination itself. Just needed after an unexpected screw up, somewhat aware of the circumstances, and called on using the code of Omerta, with which he was familiar.
  11. My first memory of boogaloo is quite different, nothing to do with terrorism. From the Humble Pie song Hot N Nasty. Hey Boogaloo I really love you. Rock and Roll. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=humble+pie+hot+and+nasty&view=detail&mid=1FD54A8521CB83BE9F371FD54A8521CB83BE9F37&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dhumble%2bpie%2bhot%2band%2bnasty%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3dd0f9b9265862434dabcae1fcb43544ef%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3dhumble%2bpie%2bhot%2band%2bnasty%26sc%3d0-24%26qs%3dn%26sk%3d%26cvid%3dd0f9b9265862434dabcae1fcb43544ef Then there was a more disco maybe rockin a bit funkier (?) version of this I couldn't find. They sang the key words in it, Electric Boogaloo maybe as part of a line but not over 2-3 lines, mainly a dance song with heavy bass, a slide sense to it. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=cedar+walton+the+electric+boogaloo+song&view=detail&mid=57917B13988688B93BEB57917B13988688B93BEB&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dcedar%2bwalton%2bthe%2belectric%2bboogaloo%2bsong%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d1ca1915b44924392aae3c74de5baf5fd%26sp%3d1%26qs%3dRI%26pq%3delectric%2bboogaloo%2bcedar%2bwalton%26sk%3dPRES1%26sc%3d1-30%26cvid%3d1ca1915b44924392aae3c74de5baf5fd
  12. It's worse. I still had the optimism of youth in spite of things then.
  13. Ever visited someone in prison? This is kind of what it's like, at the peoples house. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/with-white-house-effectively-a-fortress-some-see-trumps-strength-—-but-others-see-weakness/ar-BB153eAJ?li=BBnb7Kz
  14. Ha. The photo op does seem like full retard to me. Flash bangs heard at the press conference before used with tear gas to clear the area followed with police and military. He didn't carry the bible to it. Only held it like a prop. Didn't quote it by heart or read from it. Maybe he was afraid for his life if he stuck around and rushed back to the bunker under the whitehouse.
  15. How about his earlier years. It's hard for me to judge. The fire raids though terrible may have helped end WWII earlier in the long run. It's a shame the Japanese leaders didn't seek Peace after them, before Hiroshima and Nagasaki. https://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/world-war-two/the-pacific-war-1941-to-1945/the-fire-raids-on-japan/
  16. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-is-the-boogaloo-movement-the-gun-toting-members-showing-up-at-protests/ar-BB14ZWmJ?li=BBnb7Kz
  17. I never heard this part. It was suggested to Judge Joe Brown, presiding over the Ruby pretrial proceedings that he should write a book about the case. He called his friend Clint Murchison, said he was thinking about doing this and asked if Clint might know of a publishing house that might take it. "Yeah, Joe, I think I own one but can't think of the name of it right now. I'll have my secretary look it up and call you right back." He had stock in Holt, Rinehart and Winston. Brown soon had a contract, a $5000 advance, a $5000 advance to his ghost writer. They holed up in a Murchison hotel in California to rough out the book, expenses paid by Murchison. "After the hearing on his literary activities, however, Judge Brown recused himself in the Ruby proceedings , and the book died unpublished." pgs. 79-80. Regarding one of Ruby's lawyers, Joe Tonahill, "during the selection of jurors, Tonahill angrily threw his pencil at Judge Brown ($25 for contempt). pg. 92.
  18. Not Antifa, boogaloo boys. Somebody needs to tell the prez. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/prosecutors-3-arrested-on-terrorism-charges-in-las-vegas/ar-BB14ZJZ5?li=BBnbfcL
  19. A step in the right direction, finally. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/3-more-ex-officers-charged-in-floyd-death-murder-charge-elevated-for-chauvin/ar-BB14ZhF8?li=BBnb7Kz
  20. Between the coronavirus, the economy for some, and riots, if there are aliens out there as long as they don't hurt me I think I wish they might take me on a long strange trip. Of course I don't think that's really possib
  21. One died with her. They were all too small to survive without her. I've nothing against skunks as long as they're not hanging round the house so to speak. Unless we're talking about politicians as skunks. They need their tails cut off (note, if someone doesn't know, skunks can't spray if they can't lift their tails, so a mammologist told me).
  22. Four new cases reported in Erath county day before yesterday. Of 21 total. That's 8 since re-opening. After two weeks of no new ones before that, a result of SIP for two months?
  23. Read earlier that the curfew in Beverly Hills takes effect at 1:00 in the afternoon. Seems a little early to me but I guess stop em before they get started. Killed a skunk today. Literally. Double ought buckshot. She was moving her kits closer to the house. Glad I saw her while watering tomatoes and peppers, thank to the dog, who thankfully didn't get too close.
  24. Politics and religion in the middle of a pandemic, economic melt down for many, and boogaloo inspired riots? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/episcopal-bishop-on-president-trump-everything-he-has-said-and-done-is-to-inflame-violence/ar-BB14TI7h
  25. And I should probably PM on this but since I'm here at the moment... Does this mean you can go over Cottonwood Pass in a car? That would be historical. Since the train tunnel closed in the 1800's that's a long stretch of high country with no way through. We stayed in Buena Vista one night 5-6 years ago. The guy in the next room was a EMT from Boulder. He'd taken his ATV to the pass that day to ride over into Taylor Park. I apologized for being a tourist from Texas explaining that I lived there as a kid and fell in love with the place. He said he was happy to share as long as people respected nature.
