A sarcastic take on Neocons, by I think an Irishman like JFK.

Mark is the one who merged these six topics.  They have become quite political and more.  For now let's lock it.  He can unlock it.  Or maybe W, IDK, I'm still learning my way myself.

Well, this can't be ignored.  The tour the song was first played on in the fall of 1969.  The last stop ultimately at Altamont Speedway outside San Francisco coordinated by Melvin Beli (yes Jack Ruby's lawyer).  "Security" provided by the Hells Angels.  A man dies in the end, literally, Meredith?

Thread Topic/Title falls under "Reason for Warning Member" as "Mocking another member" and/or "Mocking another members opinion."  Automatic 15 point penalty.

Bill, it seems you ignored my hint here.  I changed the name of the thread, something I can do as a Moderator but have not to this point, to "McBride's Early Badgeman thoughts."  You changed it back.

Seems you're Mocking Another Member and Treating Admin. Disrespectfully.

Why don't you stick with the conversation and actually help develop it, Moderator?  I know all about everything you think you know.  Do you understand?

I think that qualifies as "Treating Admin. Disrespectfully" on our list of Reasons for Warnings. 

Here's your second opinion W.

Have you ever read Into The Nightmare?

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when the Kennedy family sat down together and discussed the assassination of JFK, and perhaps even more so after RFK. What responses did they consider? 

That they were both conspiracies?

Good one.  I really needed a laugh, thanks.

Nor is it appropriate for members to refer to historians and critics of the Mossad and/or the Israeli government as "Jew haters."  Some of the most highly educated and informed historians and critics of Israeli government policies are Jews, like Bernie Sanders and Norman Soloman.

Under "Forum Rules and Membership Behavior," "General Posting Behavior":

Members are responsible for what they post on this board. A member will not use this board to post any comment or which is demonstrably false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually-oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. 

To me, implying anyone is a "Jew Hater" is defamatory, abusive and hateful.

Racism:

Racism will not be tolerated on this forum. Action will be taken whenever and wherever it is seen on the forum.

Under "General Comments":  If members need to consider whether a link, a word or a sequence of words will be acceptable -- to post or not post before posting -- then we would advise not to post such words or terms.

Any of the above would qualify for a 10 point warning under "Other Behavior" in the warning system, incurring a one-day suspension.  As Ben's 10 points from Marks warning and suspension on July 2 are still active this would have automatically doubled a new suspension to two days.

Possibly how I might have handled this if I'd seen and noticed it first, along with possibly hiding the thread.

I noticed the topic "Moderator Reminders" had been merged with "Moderator Actions ... ", but that doesn´t seem to exist anymore? 

 

 

Jean, the "Moderator Reminders" thread was merged with "Moderator Actions" by Mark Knight to conserve space on the main page to allow for more space on it for current topics before they disappear to the second page and beyond.  He has not said so, but it seems Mark then Hid the Moderator Actions thus creating one more space for a current topic on the main page.  It is still there for Mod's and Admin's to see, as both topics are for Moderators.

As an aside, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's book "Captured" is an excellent read, very informative.

Praise for Senator Sheldon Whitehouse:
“Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the most respected and thoughtful progressives in the Senate. His energy and enthusiasm make him a powerful voice in defending our American democracy against the relentless, pervasive―and often hidden―power of corporate special interests.”
―Senator Elizabeth Warren

An absurd statement there, to be sure.

Oswald cannot possibly be innocent of shooting J.D. Tippit. And anyone who knows anything about the evidence should, of course, know why this is true.

 

Well, it must be true because David said it's true.  But a lot of that evidence is a little flaky, like Blakey and the MOB in the HSCA version/book afterwards. 

Bill stopped a few seconds early.  "Just about all of the evidence in the Tippit case is full of errors and problems."

A little trip down my memory lane. In 1962 (maybe ‘61) I played a youth concert in Carnegie Hall, all city JHS orchestra. Javitz was guest speaker, and us kids were made to sit on stage during his presentation at intermission. Mid way through his speech about the glories of American children and education, a voice from the upper balcony interrupted him - ‘what about the kids in Vietnam’? Twice. I knew instantly it was my father. 

That's pretty cool Paul.

Open convention, Newsome, Corey Booker or Hakeem Jeffries as VP?  Biden throws his delegates to them.  Too simple?  I think such a team would beat trump.

Harriman did say that there were forces working against a neutralization plan.

Wasn't Harriman also involved in at least the cover up of the JFK Assassination.  The creation of the Warren Commission?

Did Allen pass on his Laos/ Vietnam projects when he was fired?  JFK inherited this from Eisenhower/ Nixon/the Dulles brothers project(s)?

Hey Joe.  I remember you talking about abandoning the forum several years ago, I encouraged you to stay.  Glad I did, you have progressed tremendously as a member.

I hope your surgery goes well and you have a quick full recovery.  Drawings such as yours of JFK, Jackie and RFK would be a treat.  

I think I've posted this before in relation to your SF/Monterey location.  No way intended as about your apparently loving and dedicated wife.  Get well soon.
