The CIA didn't learn their lesson in 1963, they learned from it.

Wow Steve, that is interesting. An apparition? A distraction from Hill and Jackie climbing on the trunk, planted there? A guy in some kind of a clown suit running between the lead car and the limo signifying/celebrating success? Notice the lead car brake lights on.

Ron Bulman, I think that the music videos that you post are completely off topic and a distraction from the study of the JFK assassination.
I wish you would quit doing that just like I wish that people would stop creating so many OFF TOPIC threads in the JFK assassination forum.
I suspect many people here feel the same but they won't express their views because you are a moderator.
Sincerely,
Robert Morrow
I've been posting videos here since I became a member, the seven years before I became a moderator. Jim Dieugenio wrote a piece on the Vietnam war. One of my first posts was a compliment on it. He asked what specifically, I replied the pictures attached gave it context. I replied then with four Dead in Ohio by Neil Young, with the National guard firing on students.
You're not the first to not appreciate this practice. But those supporting it seem to far outweigh your protests. Many have been complimented, many have been supplemented with videos by others.
As this thread is about JFK Jr, who I spent two days in the recliner watching reports on the death of, unemployed at the time I'd like to think he would appreciate this one, from his time on this earth.

Wait. A momentous occasion. So, neither you nor Gerry believe in the Single Bullett Fantasy!

I think other assassinations or assassination attempts help
us understand the JFK assassination by putting it in a wider
ideological and practical context. Those threads ought to
remain here.
Darn it Joseph. I was reviewing the tread with the thought of moving it to the Moderator Complaints section given some of the latter posts. It does get hard to walk the tightrope of transparency, fairness, balance amid some of the comments especially by some here for apparently nefarious purposes. Not directed at but for Robert Morrow.

This has devolved from mod's moving threads to much else. As that's the case maybe it itself belongs in the Moderator complaints section.

Before we go much further into this, didn't we do it in the last year or two? Was some of this covered earlier in the thread? Let's reiterate. His wife after he died stated words to the effect of they told him to quit talking, but he didn't. The only investigation of the accident was by a friend of Bowers who just happened to be a Texas Department Public Safety Officer, the DPS, they patrol the highways in Texas and investigate accidents on them. He went to the wrecking yard where Bowers car was towed, he observed paint marks and I believe dents in the drivers side of the car. He interviewed the farmer in the field fixing fence along side the road. The farmer noticed one car passing by following another, after they went by he heard a crash seeing the front car crashed into the bridge abutment and the rear car going on down the road.

BTW, if it was hazy why not put the plane on auto pilot?
This is one reason I post videos. To attract attention to a thread and/or the site. Did authorities concoct a haze? A true master at work.

I started this thread with the words "Isn't this what JFK was all about ultimately". I might have been influenced by the neocon thread in that for me JFK was the exact opposite of what they stand for. Maybe I should have prefaced the video with a few examples of what I was trying to surmise with the song.
Not being pushed into invading Cuba a month into his presidency. Not being pushed into introducing combat troops into Laos or Vietnam. Not being pushed into bombing/invading Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Seeking Peace behind the scene with Khruschev and Castro. The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The American University Peace speech. NSAM 263.
Then I apparently hijacked the thread I started. Mark Knight recently asked a member "How does one hijack a thread you started?" I posted another John Lennon song, Imagine, saying I found it peaceful but disagree with one line, that there is an afterlife. Nothing about religion per-se. No Protestant - Catholic. No Israel - Hammas. Others touched on religion a bit and thoughts on eternity.
JFK was a practicing Catholic. I think he believed in an afterlife and is hopefully at peace now. Were the last rites administered in time? Did his religion influence his seeking peace, I believe so. Read Unspeakable.
I think discussion of these issues relate to his actions as president and demise. Though another mod or admin may well justifiably delete this thread or move it I will not at this time.
BTW, Herr is considered an honorific salutation.
- Herr (Hr.; pl., Herren)
- for men (broadly equivalent to Mr., Lord and Sir in English). This word also means "master, owner, ruler, gentleman" and is also a form of address for the Christian God (English equivalent: Lord). If the surname is not used or known, e. g. when addressing a stranger in the street, the correct form is der Herr ("sir" or "gentleman").

I would also add Larry Hancock to my list of very knowledgeable people about the Big Event.
That's an important inclusion. Which brings in David Boylan and Stu Wexler among others

I don't think Kamala can beat Trump. As a California AG, one term Senator and VP she's not real inspirational from the little I've heard her speak. All the money can't overcome this at this point, no matter the VP. The party needs an open convention, to find a younger new somewhat fresh face to do that.
I think that is Newsome. Some national name recognition, the title of Governor of California, twice plus a recall a winner, 62%, 62%, 59%. Him with Cory Booker as an established senator from NJ from the east might win.
Kamala not being the nominee would alienate the black vote, understandably. Booker would mitigate that somewhat, fwiw, as trite as that sounds, Love you Cory. It's hard to find this full video anymore, one must be verry specific. But there is something happening in here, beyond Sunset Strip.

I hope, faintly, that some voters remember this and vote against going backwards.

I think this link might be useful in this topic.

I anticipate members wanting to discuss who this will or should be. Which is why I'm starting this thread and moving it immediately to Political Discussions. If anyone decides to start such a thread or attempts to discuss the subject in other posts in the JFK assassination debate don't be surprised when they are moved as well.

Hey, this must be a new milestone in Education Forum devolution-- in lieu of scholarly books, articles, and complete English sentences, we now have Rumble commentaries by UFC fighters!

Well, what should we expect. Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off at the RNC?

When I first started reading this book, I thought it was a good introduction to the assassination. But it grew into more. The "chapters" are short some only 2-3 pages, a couple at 10, and 12 but they are concise and intense, full of relevant information, some new to me. There are 52 of them.
The autopsy report was the most detailed description I've ever seen of it which he describes in layman terms. He was livid over the shortness of its length. My Lecture at the Acadamy of Forensic Sciences was particularly interesting too. As well as Tracking JFK's Brain, The Lunch with Marina and several others. Well worth the read imho.

Mainstream Republican Conservatives have been horrified at what they saw at the Convention this week. They were bombarded by vendors selling cheap Donald Trump trinkets and merchandise combined with a religious revival tent meeting.
There were no elder statements there. There was no Mitt Romney, or George Bush, or Mike Pence. They were replaced by Don and Eric Trump and Kimberley Guilfoyle and Hulk Hogan.
The Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower was replaced by Donald Trump, Jr. screaming at the 17 year old boys to, "Stay the hell away from my daughter!"
To me, that epiomizes everything about this last week.

I don't believe it.
I think Marina said that because the alternative story has her looking bad.
IDK Sandy. I know you've debated with several others on this in depth before. I don't remember all the details. As I alluded to, I thought it was pretty well settled he didn't beat her. So, this surprised me too.
Technically not an interview maybe, but a long lunch widely ranging conversation. I was impressed the way Wecht described it with her possibly being more candid, open and mature at that point than in say her Warren Commission testimony and the Priscilla McMillan period.
First, she called him because she trusted him after watching him on TV and reading some of his work to ask a favor. She had been asked to be on a TV show "but didn't feel right about doing it and wondered if I would fill in for her." He did. As they talked further, he gathered "Marina appreciated my open-mindedness about her former husband, and as we spoke it became clear that she was an astute scholar of the case. She recalled everything I had ever said with remarkable clarity and expressed that same knowledge of other people's comment in TV and radio interview, books and magazine articles. They agreed to meet in person the next time Wecht was "in her neck of the woods."
November 1992, he had a lecture to do in Dallas. He invited her to lunch with him and his wife. Marina made arrangements at a local restaurant where they could have a leisurely meal. The found her in a "booth in a quiet corner." They shared photographs of children, the women bonded a bit the way it sounds. "June and Rachel spoke with typical Texas twangs." "Marina had saved every book and magazine article on Oswald and the Kennedy assassination, expecting that they might one day want to learn about him."
To follow up on my original quote starting the tread, "he constantly insulted her . . . After they moved from Russia to the United States, he made fun that she couldn't speak English but didn't want her to learn the language (some have asserted she did already know it). He criticized the way she handled their babies . . ."
"I asked Marina if she thought her husband had shot the president. Surely, she <did> . . . when she talked to authorities and the Warren Commission early on." At our lunch she stated that she now believed Oswald was tellin the truth when he said he was a "patsy." "Marina asserted that U.S. government had lied to both her and her late husband."
"Marina, Sigrid and I tried to talk it through. why would the U.S. government go to the expense of training someone to become a double agent . . ." "We reasoned that if Oswald's chosen profession was more than that of a shipping clerk at a book warehouse, he had to know what he was part of. Maybe not everything, but enough to recognize that he had to keep his mouth shut and do what was needed."
"Marina was familiar with my spiel on the magic bullet," she'd seen the Zapruder film on Geraldo in 1975. She knew about front right, grassy knoll. Lee's trip down the stairs to the lunchroom. He also asked if she knew about a Lee calling the FBI to warn about a Chicago attempt on JFK. She did as well as Thomas Edward Vallee.
"Oswald sneered that she didn't understand politics . . . Marina just wasn't smart enough to know how the world worked, he insisted. The remembrance of that upset her. She dabbed at her watery eyes and reached for a cigarette, her go to habit when she felt stress."
As Marina offered her views on these issues, I was in awe of how she could so astutely separate fact from conjecture . . .
