Talk about damning with faint praise...-- "Your police force has done a magnificent job (since the shooting this morning)."

On Wednesday night Dan Rather was interviewed by Jimmy Fallon. Fallon asked Rather if he'd ever seen anything like the insurrection that had taken place earlier in the day. Rather then listed the major events that he had witnessed over the course of his long life: "...I've seen a few things over the years, including the Great Depression, World War Two, Watergate, 9/11, so many things..." I find it rather interesting that he omitted the event that made his career in journalism, especially since he was actually on the scene of that event on 11/22/63.

Some among America's military allies believe Trump deliberately attempted a coup and may have had help from federal law-enforcement officials https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-attempted-coup-federal-law-enforcement-capitol-police-2021-1?amp

This interview with Harvey's widow speaks volumes about the mindset of William Harvey and his ilk. Her last statement could be the most revealing Freudian slip ever caught on film.

Mr. Montenegro, thank you for your passionate and illuminating posts. For many years I have firmly believed that, in the 1960's, the most reactionary forces of the right succeeded in crippling the progressive movement in the United States by murdering the three most charismatic leaders of the left. I also believe that the perpetrators have continued over the last six decades to pursue their fascistic goals. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

A second mention of this testimony is found on page 288 of the new edition of Murder Most Foul, under question number 714. "The Commission’s 'sensibilities' did not extend to prevent a man to abuse the president for 132 pages!" Does anyone know who Marks is referring to?

My apologies if you mistook my comments for a personal attack. I merely was trying to make a point to the moderators about what I perceived as a double standard in censoring a perfectly good English word. As to your argument, I have always believed that if the assassination was the work of organized crime the ensuing 57 year cover-up would have been unnecessary. Why would the government and the corporate media invest so much energy in protecting Carlos Marcello?

Mr. Hagger, with all due respect, I'm not inferring anything. The below quote is from your response to Chuck Schwartz, it was posted on Tuesday, December 15 at 12:41 PM. "JFK and his brother were lying war mongers."

A recent post of mine got edited by a moderator because I called Gerald Ford a xxxx, a prevaricator, who admitted his dishonesty in moving the location of JFK's back wound. Why are the moderators allowing Mr. Hagger's post to stand when he calls JFK and RFK "lying war mongers" ?

I recently received my copy of Stanley Marks Murder Most Foul. On page 175, under question 54, ("Is there any evidence in the 'Report' to show an anti-Kennedy tinge?") Marks mentions a witness, "...a man from the Birch Society..." who was allowed to "...abuse the memory of President Kennedy". Can anyone tell me who Marks is referring to?

This video doesn't prove or disprove Bush's presence in Dealey Plaza, but it does prove what a horrible human being GHWB was. The grin on Bush's face when he says "deluded gunman" is truly nauseating. His defense of the Warren Commission and of Commission member Gerald Ford, a self admitted xxxx in regard to the location of the back wound is risible .

Not yet, but I ordered my copy today and am looking forward to reading it.

I cloned the face of the man in the color photo, changed it to black and white, then superimposed it onto the photo on the left. The result:

🤔🤣 Thanks for the laugh, and for the inspiration... Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall Humpty Trumpty had a great fall All Rupert's horses And all Rupert's men Couldn’t put Trumpty together again

I pray that I'm wrong, but I'm afraid that the stage is being set for a December surprise, a Christmas gift for all of Trump's fanatical messianic supporters. First, Trump installed some extremely hawkish sycophants in key positions at the Pentagon. Second, Trump lackey Mike Pompano consulted with allies in the middle east. Third, a military buildup has been going on in the Persian Gulf. Forth, the brazen assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist by the Israeli intelligence apparatus. Fifth... Beware of a "retaliatory" attack that will be pinned on the Iranians by Trump and Netanyahu. -Remember the 1946 King David Hotel bombing. -Remember the 1967 attempt to sink the USS Liberty. Trump and Netanyahu are both desperate men who are capable of dragging the world into a catastrophic war in order to retain their hold on power.

A study in how the media mocks and trivializes the facts surrounding the coup of 1963. And the audacity to state opinion as fact. It's maddening. The CIA's coinage of the term "conspiracy theory" was among the most brilliant moves in the effort to cover up the truth. It has only gained power with the passage of time. A conspiracy to delegitamize the concept of a conspiracy. https://www.thedailybeast.com/jfk-conspiracy-theory-is-debunked-in-mexico

Great response, James. It's absolutely heartbreaking, for me, to come to the realization that, as the generation that was witness to the JFK presidency enters its twilight years, and the generation that grew up in the immediate aftermath of the assassination begins to rapidly age, the passion begins to cool towards the case. It's a sad fact that, even though the world that we inhabit has been shaped in profound ways by the murder of JFK, to most people the assassination is ancient history. Like Bob Dylan so eloquently sang: It’s not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Thank you, Joe. I was going to mention this too, but you beat me to it. I remember, in the years before the 50th anniversary, that the assassination would always be mentioned in the daily newspaper or on the evening news. I'm afraid that interest in the real accomplishments of JFK, and the events that led to and surrounded the November 1963 coup, are now viewed by most as ancient history, and the door has finally been closed. JFK has been buried by time. This was always the long game that the plotters were playing. Still, on the Reelz Channel, they're having an all day marathon of frothy Kennedy family moves. The only program that they're showing that addresses the assassination itself is the movie version of Colin McLaren's execreable The Smoking Gun.

Yes, and Hougan's website is an excellent resource. There are many eerie parallels to JFK case. For anyone interested: http://jimhougan.com/JimJones.html

The research that I have done indicates that the Peoples Temple was a kind of false flag operation that was perpetrated by forces of the right who used Jones as a means to embarrass and weaken the left. Jones was an avowed Socialist, and his stated mission was to help the poor. In the beginning, the organization did a lot of good in the community. The vast majority of church members were African American. Of course the Democratic Party gravitated to support Jones. Some evidence points to Jim Jones as another in the line of Manchurian Candidates that were created by the CIA. To borrow a phrase from the JFK case, the fingerprints of intelligence are all over Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple. In the end Jim Jones managed to exterminate almost one thousand poor people, 64% of the victims were black. As an added benefit, the CIA was also able to make an example of and eliminate one of their fiercest critics, Congressman Leo Ryan, who coauthored the Hughes-Ryan amendment, which required the President to report all covert operations of the CIA to one or more Congressional committees.

I'm not going to waste my time debating you if you can't see that the facts that you present have nothing to do with the fact that the caller in the video is displaying all of the traits of a cult member who has been thoroughly conditioned to unconditionally follow the orders of the Leader of the cult, up to and including a stated willingness to die for, and an implied willingness to kill for, the Leader. Your assumptions about my level of knowledge regarding the events that transpired in Jonestown on November 18, 1978 are incorrect. The images of the hundreds of bloated bodies, especially the rotting bodies of mothers and their murdered children, that were shown on the national news, are forever burned into my consciousness. I've done quite a bit of research on Jim Jones. Did you know that there was a connection between Jim Jones and the JFK assassination? Not only did Mark Lane represent (at the bequest of Marguerite Oswald) Lee Harvey Oswald in front of the Warren Commission, he also was hired to represent the Peoples Temple in federal court just prior to the massacre.

Is it unreasonable to speculate that Donald Trump, who has displayed a deep seated racial animus since at least the 1980s, and who has surrounded himself with a group of like minded sycophants, including the despicable Stephen Miller, is allowing the Covid-19 pandemic to continue to expand exponentially, and is guaranteeing that thousands of more people will die unnecessary by refusing to cooperate with Biden's transition team, because Black, Indigenous and Latino Americans all have a COVID-19 death rate of triple or more White Americans, who experience the lowest age-adjusted rates?* The man who Donald Trump has repeatedly heaped praise on, Kim Jong-un, has used famine as a weapon. Is it conceivable that Donald Trump is using the pandemic as a weapon against the people who he views as less than human? *https://www.apmresearchlab.org/covid/deaths-by-race
