    I thought I may be entitled to defend myself, considering my name was mentioned twice in the post. Is that ok with you? Or, have you turned milk-monitor or prefect? 

    touché! 

    And for the record, "mother bear" was an official title, not meant to expose me to insults but as Hank's way of identifying feminine ferocity when appropriate.

    Leslie, we've been doing the scrum with Ben for a couple of years now.   It reminds me of this song.  In turn, Duane too, start and finish especially.

     

    Brilliant!!!  (and love the brothers, btw.) and I'll bet we share bunch of favorite Texas bands.

    By the time I master the Lay of the Land on this insane thread, I'll probably be long gone. Don't know how you endure.

    Ron this is getting to be a little pathetic that you are bringing this up over and over. You held the cards and instead of holding them you decided to throw them and away and told me to go F myself. So I'm assuming whichever mod that deleted them looked at it as being equal but IDK. I admitted that was in poor taste and apologized which you obviously won't accept. Gotta admit I did find it funny you thought a White Knight was a KKK member and not the common term.. I still think Leslie is a woman scorned and I don't think that's inaccurate. Seeing now that Leslie is a Feminist Misandrist that slight dig was taken all the way to the bank. If you could for sake of fairness and mention all the things Leslie has said to me about I think you'd see that my digs are not nearly as serious has her attempting to connect me to people like Richard Specer a Neo National Socialist or that I'm using Antisemitism Dog whistles and really am talking about Joos. I put Leslie on ignore in an attempt to deescalate the situation similar to the me and Niederhut got into it.. But if she's going to continue to malign me and attempt to frame me as a Neo National Socialist because I share Jack Posobiecs twitter than I'm going to continue to poke the bear.

    Personally I think the mods should give all of us a 7 day suspensions and delete the thread and if we can't be civil after that then further recourse should be taken like post restriction or bans. Because it's not just me or just Leslie that has committed unbecoming behavior alot of people have. 

    Matthew, did you pull your female classmates' pigtails in grade school and one of them slapped you and you yelled to the teacher, "she hit me"?

    It's not uncommon for adolescents to dissemble when their aggression is called out, so I'm sympathetic that might be transpiring for you as we speak.

    Ron, perhaps a little more due diligence is required on your part. Leslie actually self-identified as “momma bear”. If you have a genuine problem with people being patronising, perhaps you should charge half the people in this thread?!  What I was trying to do was deescalate the conversations as others who don’t like tit for tat, were complaining. By you stoking the fire now, you’d certainly like it to keep going, thats clear. I personally do think what Matthew said to you via DM was over the line, then so was your response here on the thread to him. Are you a scorned man, Ron? What can Matthew do to make things right? 

    Are you an official moderator of this site, Chris, or just a self designated hall moderator?

    Fine. Let's see what holds up in court. 

    Eastman's scholarship on the Constitution at one time was highly regarded Maybe he became nutty. He had no authority over anybody. I am not qualified to know if Eastman's interpretations of the Constitution hold water.

    There is yet zero evidence of connection between the Trump Administration and the scrum at the Capitol. 

    But as I say, let Trump go to court, let all the facts come out, let defendants have adequate counsel, let a jury render a decision.

    If Trumps skates, fine, if he is exonerated, fine, if he goes to jail, fine. 

    As Durham found out, and as the prosecutors against Tom Barrack found out, getting a conviction is a lot harder than making accusations. 

    Although, if the federal government prosecutes a nobody represented by a public defender...then they can win a conviction 

    The scrum? I challenge you to use that term in the presence of Fanon and his brothers!  lololol. Or Pence for that matter.  What an insult to intelligence.

    Eastland was a legal adviser to Trump, presumbly in his capacity as sitting president in late 2019/first weeks of 2020. Are you going to split hairs and argue he wasn't in the administration? Eastland wrote the manifesto that placed Pence in the crosshairs. Trump had told the Proud Boys to Stand Back and Stand By months prior.  Proud Boys and or Oath Keepers were protecting Trump advisor Roger Stone who launched Stop the Steal. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers stormed the Capitol. Among those outside and inside were insurrectionists chanting HANG MIKE PENCE. Oh, and let's not forget McCarthy and the Beast.

    I know nothing about prosecuting a crime, but I'm guessing that the process includes something along these lines.

    I never said that about Richard Spencer so I can't fetch it for you, sorry. I said he left MAGA behind because we think he's a Fed but in your Trojan horse dopleganger brain that apparently means the same thing. If you aren't going to cut me slack over Jack Posobiec I'm not going to cut you slack on HL Hunt. Sharing a twitter page is a little different than working for a purveyor of the far alt right ecosystem you claim to be against. 🙉🙈🙊

    Why would I need to read a post when I've read Texas Rich, your book could have benefitted from using it and it's JFKA info btw.

    If I'm a provocateur who am I working for The Koch Brothers? The FBI? It's funny that you are giving me that much credit💯

    You're acting in real time, Matthew.  Posobiec, and Project Veritas have been outed as disinformation "outlets" yet you persist linking to them.  Why not do a bit more due diligence.

    What you know of my past, I've shared publicly.  Hurt did an excellent job, but he did not "prove" Hunt was involved, and actually missed a number of things thru no fault of his own.  We, on the other hand have tightened the net significantly.

    Hank's process was to focus on original source material — documents, interviews, etc.—  from his own investigation, and supplement with highly credible research already in the public domain.  And if that credible research didn't dovetail in some fashion with what he uncovered in the Lafitte records, we didn't use it.

    So...is Biden secretly an ultra-tradtional Catholic Natzi? 

    The Biden Administration, by ukase is doing the bailout....

     

    Ukraine history is more complicated than a soundbite here, but suffice to say I agree that Biden should differentiate who precisely he is supporting. He should acknowledge publicly the history of the Banderites, the OUN and Stetsko, and the current familial ties to that history within the Zelensky government.  Both he and George HW relied on the Ukraine diaspora   voting block and by doing so, ignored N-azi criminals who had been spirited into the US through Op Paperclip.  I'm fairly well informed on this topic since Stetsko surfaced in research for Coup.

    You're avoiding discussion of Yarvin's proposal to destroy American democracy, Thiel's [and Bannon's] apparent fascination with the idea, and Thiel's abrupt withdrawal of all funds from SVB precipitating the collapse.

    Much like Carlson, you seem to employ "look over there" when confronted with facts.  I'm looking at Biden, and am disturbed by the dynamics of this Russia - Ukraine calamity. Might you venture toward the Thiel move and Yarvin's proposal?

    You'd think you'd learn from the Russia Collusion Hoax, Quid Pro Quo, George Floyd incident and the J6 Fedsurrection to wait until all the info comes out.. But when you have TDS you get fooled over and over again because you don't care what the truth is and just have faith that it's true because Trump is literally Hitler. (sarcasm added for Leslie) 

     

    More Mussolini-esque actually, Matthew.

    What about those Freedom Cities, huh?

    This likely won't resonate with you, but let's see . . . 

    Once Fascism had gained power, the glorification of ancient Rome was rarely absent from Mussolini’s rhetoric – or from his far-reaching plans for the Fascist future. This glorification took many forms – from the declaration of Rome’s ‘birthday’ as a national holiday (replacing the socialist May Day celebrations) to the pronouncement of a resurrection of the Roman Empire on Rome’s ‘fatal hills’ following Italy’s victorious colonial exploits in Ethiopia. 28 However, as far as the Duce himself was concerned, it manifested itself most particularly in two ways. Firstly, the salvific qualities and, increasingly, the statuesque gravitas of a Roman emperor were ascribed to Mussolini; secondly, at his behest, the archaeological and architectural fabric of the city of Rome was utterly transformed – like Augustus himself, Rome’s twentieth-century ‘Dux’ wished to transfigure the city which he had triumphantly conquered from prosaic stone to magnificent marble.

    Leslie and the other hanging on to their propaganda commission on a JFK forum is so Ironically hilarious. The J6 commission and the Warren Commission are so similar it's actually really funny! Basically Leslie and Ron asking for more footage is like saying you need more Zapruder film to prove Kennedy wasn't shot from behind.

    Sorry you guys can't understand the big picture that j6 has about as many holes in it as the Warren Commission report😉💯 Even funnier is the fact that you guys are doubling down on the commission not realizing that if it was actually a coup Rodger Stone and others would have been charged with Treason.. But I guess when you identify as "Woke" micro aggressions count as the real thing.. HUH?! In reality White Nationalism when translated from Wokeness is just white people who don't hate their country. It really is amazing that someone can throw around very serious allegation like White Supremacy on this forum without citing anything of real substance or making the case but what do you expect from people who think Colin Kappernick is a freedom fighter!?

    All I have learned is that Leslie can use anything to justify her behavior and she is basically an authoritarian that has alot of similarities to the members of the Third Reich she claims to be against, She would have made a great prison guard or train conductor in 1940's Germany. Meanwhile back to reality that's basically what I would expect from someone who literally worked for white supremest HL Hunt. The closest I have employment wise to that is working for a corporation, Leslie we are not the same.. in fact I'm pretty sure the goddess you thanked was Shiva the Destroyer given your behavior the last couple of days!  

    You're like a moth to a flame, Matthew.  What happened to "ignore". Does that mean you ignore my posts but shadow bo in your own ring?  

    Reading up on tactics employed by provocateurs like yourself, a favorite is inversion. I'll leave it with you to contemplate. 

    You mentioned something about Spencer leaving N-zism behind.  Can you flesh that out for me?  Does that mean that if I worked for the Hunt family for five years in the '80s, you'll cut me some slack in 2023?  It's obvious you never read my extensive post focused on our H. L. Hunt research

    My genuine opinion is, you feel slighted and you don’t want to let it go. Despite some barbs you threw my way, I feel very dispassionate and fine to move on from the silliness. Can you do the same? 

    I'm not certain, but it looks like my response disappeared into the ethers. If it surfaces, this is a truncated version.

    What's your term for a male author who doesn't respond  to subjective opinion couched as authoritative and informed - Matthew's approach to Coup and the Postscript — to your liking?  Would you suggest he was "feeling" ... what?  Sensitive? You obviously were never on the receiving end of Hank's responses to such shenanigans.

    Who does Thiel turn to for inspiration? And what better way to topple our democracy than another 2008.  N-azi indeed.

    Curtis Yarvin wants American democracy toppled. He has some prominent Republican fans.

    The New Right blogger has been cited by Blake Masters and J.D. Vance. What exactly is he advocating?

    an interesting read . . . 'Such a view of history is shared by accelerationism –– a term most commonly associated with the cultural theorist Nick Land, but also prominent in the writing of neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin and others in the radical right milieu . . . ' and, Ben, in the event you're unaware, the Rene Guenon mentioned here harkens to the ultra-traditional French Catholics identified in Coup.

    I keep hearing about the Willard Hotel meeting, of Trumpers.

    But what was discussed inside that meeting? (Was Stone present)?

    Are you conjecturing, or do you have a tape, or do you have a non-hearsay witness statement as to discussions inside the Willard Hotel?

    Are thought crimes crime? That is, if constitutional scholar Eastman generated some dubious constitutional plans...but nothing was effected...then what?

    Biden has been running the Justice Department for two years. Where are they on this? 

     

     

     

    I'll walk you through this.  We'll stay with the Pence related aspect of this multi-thronged plan to disrupt the peaceful transfer of presidential power - an attack on the presidency parallel with Dallas 1963.

    • John Eastman was ensconced in the Willard Hotel along with others who - as established through testimony including that of Trump administration officials — had, since days prior to the election — determined to "stop the steal" - a concept devised by dirty trickster and Kennedy assassination researcher Roger Stone.
    • Eastman is the author of the "Eastman Memo", 6 points to persuade Mike Pence that (paraphrasing) he had the authority to refuse the electoral count seen here. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21066248-eastman-memo
    • During his rant at the elipse (yes, it was a rant of significant magnitude for an outgoing president), Trump whose war room team including Eastman had been strategizing at the Willard referred specifically to  Vice President Pence, warning him that he had better do the right thing, thus riling up those who would soon become insurrectionists — many of whom had avoided the detection system giving them the opportunity to march armed to the Capitol.
    • Some among them erected a gallows and launched a chant "Hang Mike Pence" while approaching and subsequently entering the building unlawfully.

      So, I would ask you, why would an outgoing administration find it necessary, let alone appropriate, to be holed up in the Willard unless it was to attempt to overthrow our democracy.
       

    A snippet from (and you will love this) the World Socialist — but hey, equal airtime seems to be the mantra of Carlson loyalists. . . 

    ' . . . A conservative lawyer working with then-President Donald Trump’s legal team tried to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could overturn the election results on January 6 when Congress counted the Electoral College votes by throwing out electors from seven states, according to the new book “Peril” from Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

    The scheme put forward by controversial lawyer John Eastman was outlined in a two-page memo obtained by the authors for “Peril,” and which was subsequently obtained by CNN. The memo, which has not previously been made public, provides new detail showing how Trump and his team tried to persuade Pence to subvert the Constitution and throw out the election results on January 6.'

    Biden is a seasoned politician with his finger on the pulse and I believe he is a) allowing Garland time to dot I's and cross t's, and or b) concerned enough about the possibility of a full blown deadly civil war that he would choose the lesser of two evils . . . guarantee that Trump cannot hold elected office again, and move on. A scorpion's embrace.

    I am willing to take some responsibility in this feud, Leslie. It doesn’t seem you are. What hope do we have?

    The "feud" was baseless from the outset, and I believe you realize that now.  I also believe, if you're honest and pause to carefully review Matthew's first round of insults, you might ask why he jumped all over the Postscript in Coup.  This is complicated, Chris, and maybe you're just too pure of heart to recognize bad actors when they surface in your world. Hank knew them when he met them ... not paranoia, just years of experience with them.  I've been pursuing the assassination investigation since 1993, so this is not my first rodeo as they say in my neck of the woods.

    This is how a reasonable initial salvo from Matthew might have  read ... "say, Leslie, can you confirm that Roy Cohn was Trump's business and political mentor?"  "Can you confirm that Roger Stone admired and learned at the feet of Cohn?"  Can you prove that Regnery Publishing published three Holocaust Denial screeds? and that Bill Regnery, initiator of the "alt-right", lauded Trump for legitimising White Nationalism?" 
     

    You know, basic, legitimate challenges?

    I am not claiming that this test is the gold standard of political leaning analysis but, it’s reasonably interesting. 
     

    Here is my result:

    https://www.politicalcompass.org/yourpoliticalcompass?ec=-2.75&soc=-4.36
     

     

    Isn't it strange that, in effect, you choose to politicize the analysis of the parallels between the attack on Kennedy in Dallas and the attack on the presidency Jan 6 ... when the more logical discussion should be the yet resolved cold case investigation of the murder in Dallas which would, with a little work on your part, dovetail nicely with the theme of this thread, the inevitable end result of the past [60] years.

  15. 1 minute ago, Chris Barnard said:

    Can you tell me that yourself or others have lived up to that standard in the past few days? We’ve all failed right? 
    We need to do better....

    You've not stood up to Matthew's disjointed attacks on facts -- i.e. truth -- presented.  You've psychoanalyzed the drama to death over the past few days, and yet, I do not have the slightest clue who you think plotted, executed, covered-up the assassination of Kennedy in Dallas, an attack on our presidency. Nor do I have any sense of your perspective - other than perhaps fence sitting -  of Trump's Jan 6 attack on our presidency.   

  16. 5 minutes ago, Benjamin Cole said:

    If Stone had pre-Jan. 6 relations with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, and encouraged them to violence, then probably he should be prosecuted to see if the charges hold up in court, before a jury and with adequate defense counsel. 

    What charges should be filed against Stone that should not be filed against Ray Epps? 

    Biden runs the Justice Department now. Are they filing charges against Stone? 

    Something fishy here. 

    Whataboutism is somewhat reasonable in many circumstances, but a major stretch here. Was Epps' a confidant and advisor of President Trump? Was he ensconced  at the Willard with the Trump team who had initiated the Stop the Steal scheme days before the election? I kinda think Epps is the straw man the shaman wished he himself had been — a couple of notches up the food chain so his indictment might have taken a bit longer?

    Who is alleged to have been Epps' handler?  Stone perhaps?

    And if I can just say again, there were thousands and thousands of people at the rally and subsequent insurrection, and you're suggesting — at the instigation of Tucker — Epps is the threat?  Show me dozens of "Epps" and I'll pay a bit more attention.  So far I've only heard innuendo.

  17. 23 minutes ago, Ron Bulman said:

    As you mention Roy Cohn, I quoted this in January on a thread about Bobby Kennedy, Raging Spirit by Chris Matthews.  Thought it worth repeating here.

    An interesting quote from the book.  About the Joe McCarthy - Army - Communism hearings.  About Senator Scoop Jackson of Tennessee, attorney Roy Cohn (yes, that Roy Cohn The Final Lesson Donald Trump Never Learned From Roy Cohn - POLITICO Magazine), and RFK.  Pg. 125.

    But as Jackson kept asking questions about Schine's pet project, his broad smile remained.  This drove Cohn beyond his boiling point.  When the chair called a recess, he darted for Kennedy, where he jabbed a file in front of his face.  "Tell Jackson we're going to get him Monday," Cohn warned.  "We've got letters he wrote to the White House on behalf of two known Communists." 

    "Tell him yourself," Kennedy shot back.  "Don't threaten me.  You've got a f**king nerve threatening me."

    The taunting was now turning physical.  Seeing Cohn cock his arm, bystanders stepped in and stopped him.  Bobby had gotten to his rival and he knew it.

    Worth repeating indeed, Ron.

    Don't you wish you'd been a fly on the wall in that room!  

    We've been discussing the possibility RFJ Jr. will decide to run against Trump, and wondering what stops the latter might pull out ... the Kennedy male proclivities for extramarital affairs at the risk of not simply reopening the pandora's box of his own behavior, but alienating the anti-vaccine-ers who adore Robert Jr. for his stance (which is misunderstood to be in concert with their take no prisoners position).

    @Chris Barnard Leslie proved Orwell right with her Celebrating the fact that I put her on ignore as a victory. Only it's not a victory and she is too dense to understand that. The quote from Big Mike was pretty humorous considering that when we go low she only goes lower. Lucky for her we have extremely partisan mods because if I had insulted someones mother and accused using coded words for antisemitism I would have heard about it from them.. 

    Imagine bragging about being a Nasty Woman the only thing she has done is proved to me that she is a Person Against Goodness And Normalcies and has reinforced my opinion that Feminism (also Orwellian) is basically mental AIDS.

    W--

    We are worlds apart on our perspectives. That is fine. A forum is a place for civil discussions. 

    There may be more to the Jan. 6 story. I am skeptical of the M$M-official government narrative.

    (I always encourage dissent from official narratives, otherwise we accept official narratives even when they are lies. See the Vietnam, JFKA, WMD, Wuhan lab leak official narratives). 

    The role of the Capitol Police on Jan .6...they seem far more culpable for the breach that day than Mr Buffalo Horns. 

    What was the role on Jan. 6 of instigators and provocateurs, and who hired them? Do you know for a fact?  

    With nearly 1,000 Capitol occupation cases filed...not one hint of even "ties, "links" or "contacts" --the usual witch-hunt words---between Capitol Hill occupiers and the Trump Administration. There are no connections, evidently. 

    The federal panopticon can read e-mail, texts, Facebooks, listen on phone calls, track location by smartphone, all retroactively. There is no evidence linking Trump to the scrum at the Capitol. None--yet that narrative is re-floated in the M$M for years on end. To this day. 

    The texts and images sent by occupiers on Jan. 6 indicate a very troubled crowd---Mr Buffalo Horns was hardly typical, but still indicative of many of the occupiers. This was not an "insurrection." 

    Jan. 6 was a scrum, with many troubled individuals---but likely something happened along the way, due to provocateurs and the mysterious standing down of the Capitol Police.

    I suspect Jan. 6 was a manufactured event. 

    You may have a different view. That is fine.  I do not cast aspersions on your point of view, but I encourage you to keep an open mind. 

     

     

    With an open mind, will you consider and then comment on the following?

     

    “I said xxxx the voting, get right to the violence,” Stone said in footage shot by a Danish film crew that was obtained by the committee. 

    The committee played footage of Stone refusing answer questions about the violence on Jan. 6, including whether he believed it was justified, as well as whether he had any role in planning it.

    Geez, Ben.  Wake up.

    Mr. Buffalo Horns was always your J6 straw man.

    He has long been used by the J6 coup deniers-- including Tucker Carlson-- to trivialize and deny the egregiousness of Trump's plot to obstruct the certification of Biden's election.

    In reality, Chansley was merely one of many delusional MAGAts duped by the lies of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and the other talking heads at Fox into believing that the 2020 election was stolen.

    I feel sorry for the Chansley.  He got played by Trump and Fox News.

    Now he's in prison, while Trump and his coup co-conspirators have faced no consequences for their sedition.

    So true.  If he's finally indicted, will Eastman spend four years in jail?

    The M$M will soon be creating more domestic subversives for you to fear.  

     

     

    Eastman and those he was working with remain a threat to our democracy, not a mentally disabled self-described shaman.

    If indicted and proven guilty, how many years will Eastman spend behind bars? 

    Eastman Sought A Pardon

    Eastman emailed Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani seeking a preemptive presidential pardon for his role in masterminding the push to overturn the 2020 election. 

    "I've decided I should be on the pardon list if that's still in the works," Eastman wrote, according to the email presented as evidence by the Jan. 6 committee.

    I can tell you what set the tone for me, you praising the usual Kirk, ad hominem/character assassination attempt. I probably wouldn’t have commented if it wasn’t for that. 

    Then all the rest of it unfolded from there. If we are going to have any sort of civil discourse or debate, which the world needs, then we are all going to have to behave much more diplomatically, we’re going to have to put emotions aside and stop thinking tribally. EQ is required. Or, it just becomes this melee. If your defence, you are new to this hostility here, some of it between parties has been going on years and the hatchet really should have been buried. 
     

    It’s abundantly clear to me that most of society isn’t capable of civilised public discourse, because of the way that they have been conditioned, educated, radicalised and a whole bunch of variables which are more esoteric in nature. 
     

    It comes to a point where we must ask, are we wasting the most precious commodity that we have, time? Thankfully I spent most of my weekend being off the forum and being sociable with good friends. 
     

    What do you want from this? 

    Intellectual integrity is an aspect or part of integrity proper. It requires being. willing to stand up for your best judgment of the truth, by being willing to act in accordance with that judgment when the need arises. Like other intellectual virtues, intellectual integrity is a character trait.

    Well Ron had you watch what Tucker said you would know that he said alot of the 40K hours was of empty rooms in the capital that were of no value. 

    What we did learn from Tucker is that there was no evidence of an organized insurrection inside the capital, the officer that was claimed to have been beaten to death was still alive, that Josh Hawley ran out after other senators from the direction of capital hill security and that that video had been deceptively edited out of context, and most importantly that Ray Epps lied to the committee. 

    There ya go, Ron.  Three vignettes out of 40,000 hours of footage constitutes evidence that January 6 was not a violent insurrection that included a gallows for our Vice President, catcalls of wherrrrr's Nancy?, occupying and ransack of her offices, violent attacks on police officers, and ultimately an attack on the legitimate transfer of presidential power is all we have from Carlson thus far. Three vignettes, but stand by???
