Lee Harvey Oswald (born October 18, 1939, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.—died November 24, 1963, Dallas, Texas) was the accused assassin of U.S. Pres. John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. He himself was fatally shot two days later by Jack Ruby (1911–67) in the Dallas County Jail. He himself was fatally shot two days later by Jack Ruby (1911–67) in the Dallas County Jail. A special President’s Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, better known as the Warren Commission because it was headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, investigated from November 29, 1963, to September 24, 1964, and concluded that Oswald alone had fired the shots killing Kennedy and that there was no evidence that either Oswald or Ruby had been part of any conspiracy.

My view may be heresy here on FR, but I adamantly believe that Oswald pulled the trigger and that he acted alone.

Was Utah resident Taylor Robinson a radical/lib/democrat/ communist.

Yes, as well as apparently having a tranny live-in boyfriend.

I took the comment to mean there would be no paper trail. The actual killing could be in public but there would be no record of the planning.

Actually Bella Ciao is an anti-Nazi, anti-fascist song Mussolini Italian folk song that celebrates the partisan Italian resistances that fought against the occupying Nazis, and the collaborating Fascists for the liberation of Italy. There is no evidence that the song was song at all during WWII.

It was not a Mussolini song, nor was it pro Mussolini.

Bella Ciao

The following came on after the above song. It's by a Ukrainian Band named OMNIA:

OMNIA - Fee Ra Huri

Wondering what the song was about: I discovered the lyrics are gibberish that mean nothing that is translatable into English But the song is interesting & catchy too. 😁👍

I mistakenly left Mussolini in the first sentence, that should have been removed, because it is not a Mussolini song at all. I started to write an anti-Mussolini song, but that was not quite correct.

? It should just read as:

Actually Bella Ciao is an anti-Nazi, anti-fascist song Italian folk song that celebrates the partisan Italian resistances that fought against the occupying Nazis, and the collaborating Fascists for the liberation of Italy. There is no evidence that the song was song at all during WWII.

Sorry for not proof-reading it better. 😋

I am looking at Presidential killings. Every one was by a “Lone Wolf.”

If someone inspired someone to become a lone wolf that should be looked into.

Thanks. But I realyy don’t care. A fascist tranny was using it for a celebration of his assassination of a great American.

There is no argument there. It's a song that Antifa loves to invoke to make themselves feel justified for their actions from a higher source that they really so not believe in to begin with.

That is how delusional these people really are.

I reject the thesis that “everyone” was a lone wolf. There were hundreds of people, both extreme left and extreme right, in Dallas armed to the hilt. I’ve been loosely associated with many assassinations where, yes, one person pulled the trigger. But there were many involved in the planning and execution...and observers like me who saw what was happening but did not participate.

Scrabbleback raises “paper trail”. When my 3” file had both innocuous bureaucratic garbage and accurate accounts of meetings of YPSL, YSA, etc by agents and informants I call that “paper trail”. Of course, now the trail is database and not paper.

“”””Immigration did not change until Nixon changed it about 1970 by removing local control and centralizing it in the Feds.””””

What did that mean?

Prior to Nixon immigration enforcement was mostly a matter of the local police. The city or county police would go to the scene of a “drunk n disorderly”, or a lovers quarel or a major crime. If the undesirable person was a non-citizen he would be held in the lock up until the weekly bus (train car early 60s) went to the border. Then he would be gone.

Cook County (Chicago) was the holding cell for Northern IL. Of course, most came from Chicago police. One minor defect: The county bailiff (Matt Biezcat, 26th ward, my ward) would accept cash donations and let a person out.

Winter of 64-65 I hitch-hiked the south and west. It was the practice everywhere. Local enforcement. Local enforcement was very uneven.

Nixon changed all of that. Nixon centralized enforcement. Previously the Feds mostly just enforced at the border and international airports.

You have the small conspiracy in the case of John Wilkes Booth, who was part of a small ring of Southern sympathizers in Washington, DC. Remember that there were attempts on the lives of Secretary of State Seward and Vice President Johnson as well as on President Lincoln. There was no evidence of involvement by the Confederate government, which was in a state of collapse at that point. There has been speculation that Radical Republicans, who favored a harsher treatment of the defeated South than what Lincoln favored, were behind the assassination, but there is no firm proof for that speculation.

Tyler Robinson is likely a member of a small conspiracy of communist sexual perverts who knew what he was planning to do. The question is: was this clique in touch with more influential leftist people who wanted Charlie Kirk dead for some reason? I am skeptical, as Kirk's martyrdom has activated conservatives like no other event since the assassination attempts on Trump last year.

I was around illegals and immigration a fair amount during the 60s and early 70s, competing with them for jobs and then housing in the early 70s as they started taking over Houston.

There wasn’t any major interior enforcement that I am aware of, from the locals or the feds at the time and I don’t remember when we in the border states of California and Arizona, New Mexico, had to start dealing with interior checkpoints.

I still don’t know exactly what you are talking about, unless you mean the small incremental changes as JFK’s immigration goals started devouring America.

It would be interesting to know how much immigration enforcement was influenced by local behavior. The midwest, CA and TX apparently had different criteria for who was “undesireable”. Even now, do the Feds treat all areas the same?

Hyundai in Blue Savannah in Red GA is a case in point. Why in Sep and not in Jun or July? Is it because by Sep more visas had expired and thus more illegals in the take?
S Korea certainly knew they had illegals and Trump was cracking down on illegals. Did S Korea assume that because GA has a Red governor they were untouchable? Was there behind the scenes diplomatic warnings that S Korea ignored?

I was a hitch hike-drifter for years around the California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and the other Southern states and a native Texan, I don’t recall much enforcement in the interior, anywhere, and getting illegals back to Mexico for visits was easy although they had to pay the Mexican border guards a token bribe, and evidently coming back after their visit wasn’t too hard for them.

Illegals were pretty invisible until they started becoming more numerous and aggressive in the late 70s, I remember the first time I witnessed a group of them in front of an Albertsons in Encinitas, California cat-calling the white women coming out of the store around 1979 or 80? and knowing that things had reached a new stage, during the 1980s in Houston I did a lot of drinking in Illegal alien bars and there was no concern about the places being raided.
