Speaking of Texans. Our Covid numbers are up. Statewide and locally. Students are coming in July.

Thanks for a late Saturday night belly laugh.

Outstanding Rob. Marks implicating Dulles in 1967. Wow, and so much more including his back history.

Interesting. I never knew about PT 59, the evacuating Marines or JFK having one die in his bunk. Nor did I realize how well armed the PT's were. Two twin 50 cal. machineguns, two 40 mm guns, four single 50 and 30 cal. machineguns. A lot of firepower for the size of the craft. Also near 50 mph on water at the time would have been pretty fast would it not? Shame it was abandoned and sank. It should have been preserved for the sake of history.

I read a month or two ago how this might work against the right in terms of voters. Older voters are more inclined to vote for the prez, reduction in their numbers is a negative for them. Florida is the retirement State. Could the not so supreme court be called to decide on their hanging chad's again?

Thanks! This is excellent. I imagine it will be dissected by many. "All we see is good for nothing news, Dark News that depresses and horrifies you." His words about Little Richard make me think of trying to dance to this song he mentions. Best in full screen at full volume on a Friday night. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=little+richard+good+golly+miss+molly+1955&view=detail&mid=6C71C015A6B1CCD77FCF6C71C015A6B1CCD77FCF&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dlittle%2brichard%2bgood%2bgolly%2bmiss%2bmolly%2b1955%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3db5ac58f559e248c280bd9b2b6053e69f%26sp%3d1%26ghc%3d1%26qs%3dEP%26pq%3dlittle%2brichard%2bgood%2bgolly%26sk%3dPRES1%26sc%3d8-25%26cvid%3db5ac58f559e248c280bd9b2b6053e69f

Well, I'm mistaken again. I thought Harvey rented the boat, but I guess just the hotel charges he filed are proof he was there. I also didn't realize they took it to the Keys, assumed they just cruised around in the ocean to talk privately. Something else I read somewhere a few years back that has bugged me is supposedly Morales coming to the town Rosselli and Harvey took off from but he stayed behind. Have you or anyone else ever come across anything like this?

Wasn't the Military guy in Dealy plaza taking pictures that went into the TSBD a Noncom... More seriously Larry SWHT and Fonzi's Last Investigation are likely the main reason I still wonder about Morales possible role in the JFK Assassination. I know I've read other places about him but they don't come to mind at the moment. Thanks to you and others for participation in this conversation. It's certainly been informative to me! Please continue.

This won't go over well on the right. I anticipate the governor being forced to step in on their behalf, invoking state vs city rights. For the sake of bizness. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/houston-weighs-reimposing-lockdown-sees-precipice-of-disaster/ar-BB15mmie?li=BBnb7Kz

So through Fitzgerald the CIA was pushing the JCS for acquiescence or assistance in a plan similar to Valkyrie to eliminate the president for the good of the country. That they had the confidence to suggest such is revealing of the Military attitudes though I guess it's not surprising after the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile crisis. I wonder if he addressed all of the JCS. It seems like I remember reading something about the Marine general might not have been receptive and wasn't included? What's even more interesting from a Devil's Chessboard perspective is Dulles. He was involved in the development of Valkyrie somewhat and seems to have oversaw it from afar in a sense. After his forced resignation might he and loyal former employees and associates started tweaking the plan? I needed to refresh (and expand) my memory on Valkyrie and found this. The circumstantial aspects of it's failure seem almost improbable. https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/operation-valkyrie-why-20-july-hitler-stauffenberg-assassination-plot-failed.html

Yes it is, and most likely on the second part. But like here relevant information often gets buried quickly.

Bump. Has no one else seen this?

It looks like the shet got even deeper today. I didn't realize Floyd was already handcuffed, in a police care and Chauvin drug him out of it to pin his neck to the pavement with his knee for starters. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/5-takeaways-from-house-hearing-with-george-floyds-brother-on-policing-reform/ar-BB15jyRU?li=BBnb7Kz Chauvin knew him, they worked together at a club, 'butted heads" per a co worker. Chauvin had a problem with minorities per the co worker and club owner. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/world/former-coworker-says-floyd-and-chauvin-bumped-heads/ar-BB15j5lq Murder One. Does Minnesota have the death penalty. The country, the world may well demand it.

Plague wise we're still trending upwards on new cases here in Texas at roughly 35% over the last 14 days. A new single day all time high last Friday. They blame it on the prisons, nursing homes and increased testing, all factors but still I wonder. Locally, rurally for the county, 2 new cases in town yesterday, that's 19 since we started re opening. An upward trend. FB post blames it on a protest march last Thursday, citing a 5 1/2 day incubation period, The math doesn't work. I thought it was 1 - 2 weeks. I blame it on the restaurant's in particular, the parking lots are packed, no way they are maintaining anything close to social distancing. Though a wave may be coming from the protests. Look at Florida after opening early. The trend in new cases nationwide is still not going down. It may well spread this fall after schools and football open if they do. If it should that could effect the election in more ways than one. Guess I'm just naturally too pessimistic. Hope I'n wrong. This song is playing on something on the tv at the moment. Made me want to hear the whole thing. Thought I'd share, not JFK or Plague related. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=back+in+the+saddle+aerosmith&view=detail&mid=639B3712B05F46484205639B3712B05F46484205&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dback%2bin%2bthe%2bsaddle%2baerosmith%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d0588e56625624c83989d1cfd566aecd4%26sp%3d4%26qs%3dAS%26pq%3dback%2bin%2bthe%2bsaddle%2b%26sk%3dPRES1LS2AS1%26sc%3d8-19%26cvid%3d0588e56625624c83989d1cfd566aecd4

I feel so ignorant. I think I've probably read this before but I guess it went right over my head. Braden/Brading, taken into custody in Dealy Plaza on 11/22/63, a man with a long criminal record, on probation, spent the summer before in New Orleans. Down the hall from G. Ray Gill, employer of investigator for him David Ferrie? Am I right on that from memory? This seems potentially important. Any chance he knew Banister or others?

Belli? Might you be willing to share the names of some of these people and their comments? This would be interesting to some of us.

The tire slashing is asinine. From suffocating someone to arresting or shooting reporters with rubber bullets to busting an old mans head on the concrete to shooting people on their porch with paint balls, or peaceful protesters with bean bags that injure them. Like Dr. Wecht said in another thread they're saying screw you.

Thanks for this Steve. It dovetails well with what I've read primarily in Kantor's Ruby Connection and David Scheim's Contract on America, though I disagree with the premise and conclusion of the latter, it is well documented. There are difference in dates, one says Ruby changed his name from Jacob Rubenstein to Jack LEON Ruby in December 1946 in Dallas. COA offers this tidbit as well. Ruby's sister Eva Grant testified that Cooke "was a highly reputable lawyer, that's why They killed him."

Jim, I guess your talking about for your upcoming documentary with Stone here. Any word on when it might be coming out?

Great article not featured elsewhere I'm aware of (shame). All should read, thanks for the link. Wecht is a classic. Was he not the only dissenter on a medical a board on one of the investigations of the JFK Assassination?

Jim I'm familiar with the FBI changing Dealy Plaza witness statements. It illustrates their duplicity. Gil and Mark Lane are hero's of mine. What's just as disturbing to me is the FBI did interview multiple acquaintances and associates of Ruby from Chicago in the 30's and 40's and seemingly just took the word of known mafia operatives. For example Lenny Patrick and Dave Yaras were top executioners for the mob, but They give a thumbs up to Ruby not being involved in anything, with a wink and a nod (?). Kind of like asking Eve if she picked an apple. The FBI was also known (like the WC) for ignoring statements in both Dealy Plaza and Chicago. Like ones about him being involved at times in running a club known for it's bookmaking operations or that he had a interest in or worked in a managerial capacity at a strip join on North Clark street. Wouldn't that experience have come in handy at the Carousel?

Jim, the second part about Byron, after the fact, supposedly comes from WC CE1235 which doesn't just pop up in a quick search. Why would the guy make this up to the FBI in 1964 based on a 1939 memory? If you've access to the Chicago Tribune archives you might search the name Leon Cooke and December 8-9-10-11-12 1939 as the 8th was when he was murdered by allegedly Ruby or Martin. Keep in mind murders were not uncommon in Chicago at the time and the city had more than one newspaper at the time, E.G. the Chicago Defender and I believe at least one more. I don't think Seth Kantor made up the part about Ruby's picture in the Tribune. He was a well accredited journalist who spent 10 years writing his book. Well after his word with Ruby on 11/22/63 at Parkland.

Some people call me Maurice, 'cause I speak of the pompatus of love. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=steve+miller+some+people+call+me+maurice&view=detail&mid=FA743C28A89C83E0C256FA743C28A89C83E0C256&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dsteve%2bmiller%2bsome%2bpeople%2bcall%2bme%2bmaurice%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3d0c728d1809aa43a0a7ac8be4206360a1%26sp%3d1%26qs%3dAS%26pq%3dsteve%2bmiller%2bsome%2b%26sk%3dPRES1%26sc%3d8-18%26cvid%3d0c728d1809aa43a0a7ac8be4206360a1
