Hope that helps, Larry
Certainly does. Thanks for your time. I have had SWHT (2010) on order for a while, so looking forward to that, + future instalments of TP. Great work Larry!

I love this Forum! It certainly delivers Education! Many thanks Rob & Jim for this.
'Murder Most Foul' is in the post.

Fintan O'Toole is spot on with what he says of Dylan's 'Rough & Rowdy Ways' + 'Murder Most Foul'. Great article! Cheers Robert.

Tipping Point Part 1 - The Cuba Backstory - is now live on the Mary Ferrell Foundation:
https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/Tipping_Point_Part1.html
This segment is a pretty large piece of the total material, some of the following segments will be much shorter. It just comes out this way in trying to maintain some topical unity in dividing it serialization. I urge those interested to give it a really detailed read, to check out the links and citations and especially to try and follow the chronology as it develops over some five years.
Certainly much of the content has been discussed in bits and pieces, but often without keeping it in proper chronological context. Given how much people, assignments and agendas changed over that period of time, it is really a mistake not to discuss some of the key names in the conspiracy discussion without placing them in the right time frames (especially since some names appear multiple times, and in very different roles).
As before, I'll be available in the book thread, in email and on my own blog for questions and discussion.
Larry, My copy of SWHT was obtained at Lancer in 2003 in binder form with accompanying cd. (signed by the author) 😉 I have also read Nexus.
Q1. Am I missing info in my copy of SWHT from the 2010 update?
Q2. Will Tipping Point contain info not appearing in SWHT & Nexus? (Part1.html has kept me quiet for a few hours & is very detailed)
Q3. Will the full text of Tipping Point appear in MF.org?

A Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech has been found to be more than 90 per cent effective, in a major breakthrough that could make the shot available for use by the end of the year if drug authorities give it the green light.
The finding was the result of the first independent analysis of any Covid-19 vaccine in phase 3 trials — the final stage before commercial licensing. The study found that 94 participants who received the two-dose vaccine were protected against the disease 28 days after their first inoculation.

JFK's Miami motorcade was called off. Miami police were that worried about JFK's security and one assumes the Joseph Milteer tape was actually one reason for this.
Joe, I think this was a myth. JFK's visit to Miami began with his arrival at Miami airport & he was to then fly by helicopter to his next appointment at Bal Harbour, only by vehicle if weather was inclement, which it wasn't. He arrived at Miami airport around 17:00. There was a very short distance drive by car later. No motorcade was called off. Unlike Milteer's warning, the threat was a bomb.

In 1965, Ellsberg was assigned as a Pentagon observer to the CIA’s Revolutionary Development (RD) Program in South Vietnam. Here Ellsberg came under the influence of his mentor, CIA officer cum Air Force General Edward Lansdale. The mass murderer Graham Greene used as the model for Alden Pyle in “The Quiet American,”
In fact Greene did not meet Lansdale until after completing much of the novel. According to Greene, the inspiration for the character of Pyle was Leo Hochstetter,

Who was it that said something like "If the public knew the truth, there would be blood in the streets."

Not quite, but close.

Two official versions of "Show Them The Way": an acoustic one and a full recording featuring Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) on guitar and Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) on drums.This song was written by Stevie Nicks in St. Charles, Illinois, in 2008. She told Rolling Stone, "...One night I went to bed and I had this dream. I dream a lot, but I almost never remember the dreams. I'll wake up and I'll go, 'I remember a train with some people smiling and waving at me that went by really fast,' and that's it. This dream was so really real that there was a little bit of me, for a minute, when I sat up was like, 'Did that just really happen?'""This song really is a prayer. This song is a prayer for people to unite. A prayer for people to get together," Stevie Nicks said in an interview with Associated Press.

Joe, my son has asked me that question, so too others who have learned of my interest in the assassination. My answer:-
"Well it certainly wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald. Nobody knows who was responsible, but Federal and Intelligence agencies covered up truths.
The same applies to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, with the same Federal and Intelligence fingerprints."

As stated in previous posts Vince, I have contacted Bart (the dedicated Mr K) to arrange a DPUK presentation on Zoom sometime prior to the publication of 'Honest Answers'.
He is busy at this time with putting Malcolm Blunt's filing cabinet contents on line, but we hope to arrange something early 2021.

Great eyewitness this officer. Not even there when Julia Ann Mercer was.
And have you ever "pushed" another vehicle with your own?
You might do this to get a car stuck in mud out of it. You go very slowly as otherwise you can crash into each other with considerable damage.
And where did they go...on to a freeway? Please!
I'll "guess" that the stalled pick up truck miraculously started up 100 feet down the road.
Sorry, giving one's "opinions and guesses" regards the actions of others when you have left the scene ( this officer wasn't there ) would draw an immediate sustaining of this testimony in a court of law.
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Your post on Mercer caused me to re-visit Mercer's story & that is when I came across Murphy's statements which I had not read before. I agree it sounds weird and typical of many cops statements, "He couldn't recall the name of the company to whom this truck belonged". Maybe it would be possible to have one truck push another, just a few feet down a slight slope to bump start one with a flat battery, but to choose between Mercer and Murphy's accounts I still go with Mercer.
Yet, even with the nefarious and rabid right wing contingents of the D.P.D., considering the back up of traffic caused by this obstruction providing witnesses like Julia Ann Mercer, I've always thought it sloppy to deliver an assassination rifle to the knoll in this way, especially when access to the rail yards was possible for any vehicle.

That was really tragic. From my reading of the book, that really dealt Martin an emotional blow. As it would so many.
That hurt because she was not just a good researcher, but everyone liked her. Plus she had a good relationship with Marguerite, and unlike others, she was close to Dallas.
Not just tragic, but very suspicious....like the safe driving record of a certain taxi driver killed in a head on crash in '65 or the suspected 'sideswiped' vehicle driven by the supervisor of a railroad tower in '66.

I always appreciate in any JFK explanation event presentation the mention of Julia Ann Mercer and her first hand, early 11,22,1963 morning Dealey Plaza, stuck in traffic encounter observation story.
Everything about it rings honest and intriguingly important imo.
Reading her same day and 3 day later FBI and Sheriff Department affidavits ( official documents ) you are clearly impressed with her unwavering and detailed account.
She tells a suspiciously incongruous story that begs rational scrutiny considering it's location, activity and timing.
Her personal character integrity seemed to be unimpeachable. She definitely did not seek further attention after her initial same day and three day later interrogations.
And to add even more rational suspicion weight to Ms. Mercer's story, she is on record as telling Jim Garrison that the signature on at least one of the supposed official affidavits is not hers and there was no notary present when she was being questioned.
JOE MURPHY, Patrolman, Traffic Division, Police Department, Dallas, Texas, advised that on November 22, 1963, he was stationed at the Triple Underpass on Elm Street to assist in handling traffic. At approximately 10:30-10:40 AM, a pickup truck stalled on Elm Street between Houston Street and the underpass. He was unable to recall the name of the company to whom this truck belonged but stated it is the property of the company working on the First National Bank Building at Elm and Akard in Dallas.
There were three construction men in this truck, and he took one to the bank building to obtain another truck in order to assist in moving the stalled one. The other two men remained with the pickup truck along with two other officers. Shortly prior to the arrival of the motorcade, the man he had taken to the bank building returned with a second truck, and all three of the men left with the two trucks, one pushing the other.
MURPHY noted that the men did not leave the truck except for the one he took to the bank building, and all three left together sometime prior to the arrival of the President's motorcade. He described the stalled truck as being a green pickup and noted the truck had the hood raised during the time it was stalled. This truck had side tool bins on it, and they had a considerable amount of construction equipment in the back.
MURPHY futher stated it was probable that one of these men had taken something from the rear of this truck in an effort to start it. He stated these persons were under observation all during the period they were stalled on Elm Street because the officers wanted the truck moved prior to the arrival of the motorcade, and it would have been impossible for any of them to have had anything to do with the assassination of President KENNEDY.

Wasn't her daughter killed in an auto accident?
On 8th September, 1967, Shirley Martin's oldest daughter, Victoria, who had accompanied her mother to Dallas to interview witnesses, was with her friend Candy in a VW Beetle, that was "sideswiped" by another car. Candy died the next day but Victoria, who sustained twenty-four broken bones in the crash, lingered for four days before dying of her injuries. After the death of her daughter Shirley Martin gave up research into the assassination of JFK.
Certainly agree, Kelin's book is a must.

Richard Nixon:- "I was there on the morning when the decision on Lebanon was made. I was there when Trieste was decided. I was there when the decisions on Iran, all these others that have kept the peace and kept it without surrender, and, my friends, this I know-that America at this time cannot afford to use the White House as a training ground to give experience to somebody at the expense of the United States of America."
John F. Kennedy:- "What Mr Nixon doesn't understand is that the President of the United States, Mr Eisenhower, is not the candidate. You've seen those elephants in the circus, with ivory in their heads-you know how they travel around the circus, by grabbing the tail of the elephant in front of them. That was all right in 1952 and in 1956. Mr Nixon hung on tight; but now Mr Nixon meets the people. The choice is not President Eisenhower; the choice is whether the people of this country want the leadership of Mr Nixon and the Republican party, a party that's never stood for progress. To show how desperate and despicable this campaign has become: they're hanging, outside defense plants, a poster which says 'Jack Kennedy is after your job.' I'm after Mr Eisenhower's job."
Robert Kennedy:- "I think that the most important part of the campaign was the debates, and, I think, the first debate particularly. President Kennedy spent two days preparing for it. He went over questions and possible answers and over his opening statement. Nixon had built up, during the campaign, the idea that he was the only one who could stand up to Khrushchev, that a man of maturity was needed. That first debate indicated that not only could John Kennedy stand up to Nixon, he could better him, and so it destroyed the whole basis of Mr Nixon's campaign in one night. I think that was extremely important also in giving President Kennedy exposure to 70 million Americans, which he could never have received otherwise."

Most people don't look at things this way but, it something like 22 Nov 63 can happen once, it surely can be repeated again and again in other forms, we'd be naive to think anything else.
Malcolm X, RFK & MLK in many forms repeated Dallas in just a few years.
Although proof is lacking, killings like John Lennon's raise suspicions, especially when looking at Chapman's background, which could have similarities to Sirhan.
The 60's music scene, like film, was also 'a most impactful form of propaganda' that posed a threat to the establishment.
It is believed that CIA was involved with Operation Chaos and initiated the drug bust against the Stones. Jimi Hendrix's manager was military Intell.
Yeah, most people don't look at these things that way.....the ones who do are wacko conspiracy theorists!

Nasser, Kennedy, the Middle East and Israel
in JFK Assassination Debate

Jim, that presentation was so good I've watched it four times already. What struck me was that YouTube piece of Nasser's speech on his dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood. For a Middle East leader delivering that speech with such humour....very much in JFK style too. Yeah, what a mess in Middle East we have today!
