It's not funny or interesting. Just in poor taste. And I try not to say that too often.

At least it's not a Kennedy CT post. So there is that.

What an interesting observation, considering what the nation has become since November 22,1963.

I mean, you never know.

My point was most posts having to do with the Kennedy assassination promptly veer into CT territory. A post downthread about the CIA appeared about the same time as my reply here did. I don't believe it was all puppies and rainbows before 1963, nor do I believe we would be living in an appreciably different world had the assassination never happened.

No way to prove that of course.

Those who think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone have their reasons. Personally, I believe they are on the wrong side of both the facts and history.

Key to my belief is the work of two authorities, John M. Newman and Jefferson Morley. They report Oswald appears to have been impersonated in Mexico City and CIA failed to disclose this information to Warren Commission or the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).

The person charged with providing that information to the HSCA in 1977 was George Joannides, who also happened to have known Oswald's most important contacts, the anti-Castro Cuban expatriates Joannides oversaw in New Orleans as their CIA paymaster in 1963. Small world!

One thing about this that’s most un-democratic is how CIA won’t divulge those records, even after ordered to do so by a Federal Judge John Tunheim, who led the Assassination Records Review Board, in the 1990s.

So, on behalf of history, the Truth and the People, Newman and Morley have had to sue CIA. And in the interest of national security, the case has been appealed until it has effectively been quashed -- over 300 pages of Joannides' work stuff from ca. 1963.

PS: I take it personally when people, including Mr. Fish, find anything funny about Dallas. Because it wasn’t the work of a lone nut, that terrible day means the traitors killed the Liberal and ran free. So, it’s a Political Thing for this Democrat.

The traitors all boarded an airplane and fled US soil. All scrap was sold to China, with the approval of the BFEE and we are supposed to 'move on'...no, like 2000 I will NEVER 'move on' and want FULL DISCLOSURE of ALL the events that took place that day...just like in Dallas, I want ALL THE FACTS...not just the ones the govt discloses for their own agenda.

Sadly, we will never have all the facts...that would put so many people out of business, or maybe not.

Commission Report) is continuing a conspiracy against the truth. There's a lot of that everywhere today when war criminals and traitors are the "expert" sources of whatever networked criminal conspiracy enterprises they are paid to "educate" US and the rest of the world about.

So stay with the "program" all you "team players", you lone nut theorists-and now "stand your ground"/ Zimmerman supporters.
There's nothing wrong with the Second Amendment-it's who interprets and regulates it--along with all the rest of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Trying to associate people who believe that Oswald acted alone with 'Zimmerman supporters.'

All of us are having our perceptions messed with-that's a fact of full spectrum dominance/netcentric information warfare that's been going on for a decade or more. It is still called the free press, lol, the propaganda machine of full spectrum dominance that used to function as the fourth estate which is a requirement of democracy.

11-22-63 was a coup, so was the installation of the George Walker Bush adminisration-I've stated those "crazy conspiracy beliefs" of mine to current and former elected members of government in the past few years that now share them.

Yep, so laugh your ass off, my friend, thinking your owned thoughts. Be happy that you are living in a democracy and are free We here in Wisconsin are fighting to reclaim some of what was taken from us, "legally" with our "consent by our own version of Wisconsin Weimar Republicans.

For those that do have a clue here's a bit about another powerful group that isn't a CT, it has been managing the perceptions of local, state and federal government for years to advance its extreme agendas-the American Legislative Exchange Council/ALEC

I can see that it might be kind of tasteless, but it makes its point...the responsiblity for the murder lies with the person who pulled the trigger, not the victim.

It's been made plenty of times here in the last couple weeks.

I just don't find it to be in good taste. But so what? Others obviously have no problem with it. I'm just expressing an opinion like anybody else.
