Free Republic

Dude is 65 years old? How time flies. Maybe they can do a reunion concert at The Villages.

These musical groups on tour live like vampires, sleep during the day and do their thing at night. Their damaged circadian rhythm can lead to mental health problems.

I second the bump for Roger Stone’s book. I bought a copy when Roger was selling them to raise money for his legal expenses. It was better than I expected.

I don’t buy the theory that LBJ was the mastermind of the assassination, but I am willing to believe that he was sounded out beforehand, because the masterminds wanted to substitute LBJ for JFK in order to achieve a change in US government policy.

Roger does go into forbidden territory in discussing Ruby’s and Oswald’s connections beforehand, kudos to him for that.

Roger tells how Ruby tried to get access to Oswald at Dallas Police HQ the night of the assassination in the company of Israeli journalists, Ruby claiming that he was the translator for these journalists.

But Roger never questioned the ludicrous notion that Israel would send “journalists” who didn’t speak English to work in the United States.

In short, the book is full of interesting stories and well worth the read.

“suggested the agency used Oswald for intelligence purposes “

Another long article from JFK assassination conspiracy mongers with lots of breathless speculation based on next to nothing.

“the government’s claims that it had no knowledge of Oswald prior to”

No, that’s not what the government claimed. Oswald was a former member of the US military who defected to the Soviet Union and then came back to the US. The US government never claimed that they never heard of this person.

It’s funny how in all of the conspiracy theorizing about tramps and Corsicans and mafioso and the CIA, the plain facts that Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald so that he couldn’t talk and that Oswald undertook a prior assassination task when months earlier he used a rifle to try to assassinate General Edwin Walker. Why did Ruby do this? Who tasked Oswald to kill General Walker?

Why have these facts gone down the memory hole? Why is Hollywood, the MSM and the publishing industry so uninterested in these facts?

Could it be that these elaborate obscure theories are meant by those with a dominant influence over our government and media to distract people from addressing the most obvious questions which have never been addressed, much less answered?

They endlessly bitch about America and NATO but nary a bad word about the imperialist secret police regime occupying the Kremlin which has looted Russia for decades.

The idea that countries like Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania, Finland and so on would want to join a defense alliance against a possible military invasion by the Kremlin is considered inconceivable on its face and must be explained by manipulative machinations in these countries to expand NATO’s borders.

This is Olympic level gaslighting.

As president, it was Biden who issued decree after decree purporting to exercise dictatorial powers, such as ordering landlords not to evict tenants during the pandemic or declaring null the amounts owed by people on student loans.

When Biden was shot down repeatedly by the courts, then they proposed schemes to pack or neuter the Supreme Court to remove the obstacle to his unconstitutional power grabs.

Cheney is essentially a neocon employee at this point and is deployed to wherever they think she is most useful. If Harris wins the election, Cheney will probably be appointed to some position out of a phony show of "bipartisanship."

It was also the latest in the former Fox News host’s record of echoing antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric. Examples include his platforming of the “Great Replacement” idea, which often places Jews at the center of a conspiracy to replace white voters with brown-skinned immigrants

70% of Jews vote for the Democrat Party which is implementing an agenda of open borders to result in massive rapid demographic change along with enabling vote fraud including voter registration of non-citizens and dismantling ballot integrity procedures.

It's not like they don't understand what the Democrat Party is doing and the majority of Jews are voting for them out of some misunderstanding. They agree with it.

I didn't see the Tucker interview but after reading the article I certainly wouldn't trust the Jerusalem Post to give an accurate version of it.

From time to time there is always some event like the recent campus physical attacks on Jews which make you think maybe this time it might shake the devotion of most Jews to the Democrat Party, but it never does.

another SSRI zombie?

It’s not even a new study.

It’s just taking the same old studies, reshuffling them and calling it a new “meta-analysis.”

A lot of the research is garbage. Researchers do low quality research just to check the box on their resumes on their way to earning their PhD.

In the few cases when other researchers try to replicate a particular study often they can’t. It’s the replication crisis in science.

One high quality carefully controlled study interpreted by knowledgeable scientists is worth a dozen garbage studies.

Brazil is simply following suit from its fellow BRICS members, Russia and China.

Russia blocked twitter, facebook, instagram and soon youtube and co-opted VK and Telegram. Also trying to move against VPNs.

China has long used censorship and blocking to restrict its people from accessing information on the Internet.

Kremlin propagandists have been very successful in portraying a false image of the regime but it is the very opposite of a Free Republic.

For example, giving Edward Snowden exile. But if a Russian Edward Snowden revealed secrets of Kremlin surveillance like the American Snowden did of the US, the Kremlin regime would have tortured that person to death.

James Jesus Angleton.

But the truth of the matter is, it was like the Murder on the Orient Express — there were many hands involved in keeping certain rocks from being looked under: LBJ, the CIA, the FBI, the Warren Commission, the News Media oligoply, the publishing industry, Hollywood and so on.

It continues to this day.

Rumor is the Russian government already has a backdoor into Telegram, now the West wants one, too

cue Colin Powell and the “Pottery Barn Rule”

so how much does something like that cost?

To my eyes just standing back and looking at the investigation as a whole, there are two big black holes there.

One is the one you mentioned. Ruby was close pals with Mickey Cohen and the West Coast mob as well as Chicago mobsters. Many of these guys were Jewish and fierce Israeli patriots and from what I understand some were involved in trying to run guns to Jewish military groups fighting in Israel in those early days when things were touch and go and they were desperate for weapons. During the JFK administration Israel was in a conflict with the US president over Kennedy’s non-proliferation position and demand to inspect the Dimona facility. The Israeli prime minister considered this obstacle to obtaining an Israeli nuclear bomb to be an existential matter for Israel. With JFK out of the way, the problem was solved.

The second black hole has to with Oswald’s position within the communist party. Oswald would harangue people for hours with annoying endless diatribes about some or the other Marxist issue. For example, it was said that he was a big defender of the innocence of the Rosenbergs. I don’t believe he was a CIA plant merely pretending to be a communist, I think he was the real thing.

But communists in this country operated within cells. Reread Whitaker Chambers’ book Witness, he goes into enormous detail about how American communists operated within the party. So which cell was Oswald a part of?

I think it was almost certainly the case that Oswald’s attempted assassination of General Walker earlier in 1963 was at the behest of or with the approval of a communist party cell that he was a part of. A good communist like Oswald at that time in American and Soviet history would not have free-lanced that.

But as far as the investigation went, there seemed to be no effort to uncover this. Yet Oswald had to be on the radar of mostly the FBI and to a lesser extent the CIA as a potential member of a communist cell.

So if he was, as I believe likely, a member of a communist cell the members of that cell were protected in the investigation for some reason.

It is possible that Jack Ruby had an intersection with that cell. I think Jack Ruby is the Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination. No one can believe that Ruby killed Oswald for any reason other than to silence him. What were Ruby’s connections?

There’s no way that at this point in time there is anything of real value left in the files that was not transformed into tiny pieces of shredded paper many years ago.

One possibility is that those insiders who covered up for the group behind the JFK assassination left a fake trail as the last remaining unreleased documents, pointing to the Italian mob or some other plausible culprit to distract attention from them.

Another possibility is that what little is left is highly embarrassing to the Kennedy family and for this reason everyone agreed not to release it. In particular, it would not be surprising if the investigation tried to cover everyone who had a motive for killing JFK to include husbands, boyfriends, fathers etc. of girls he had sexual liaisons with and left in bad shape, perhaps even more such people and in more shocking circumstances than the public has ever heard of.

You do realize that if you were back in Russia and you criticized the Kremlin the way you criticize “DC” you would be thrown in jail, right?

They even passed a new law that no one in Russia may legally criticize the war or the way the Kremlin has decided to conduct the war. Many thousands of ordinary Russians were arrested for nothing more than peacefully expressing political dissent in a public place.

In fact, you can be arrested and thrown in jail in Russia for being even MORE “patriotic” than the Kremlin wants you to. Witness Igor “Strelkov” Girkin.

Today’s secret police-controlled and election-rigged imperialist Russia has absolutely NOTHING in common with the principles of a “Free Republic” which this site promotes.

Postulate: The group behind the JFK assassination is at least as powerful today as it was in 1963.

It would have to be, in order to protect its interest all of these years.

From that postulate it follows that the assassination was not carried out by the CIA or the Italian mafia.

The CIA today is the very antithesis of the pro-American anti-communist CIA of 1963. The culti-marxist LGBT gender-bending globohomo DEIcrats in today’s CIA would love nothing more than to out their enemy predecessors in the CIA as having hatched a plot to kill JFK. If they could release documents implicating the CIA of 1963 in it, they would have done so already.

For a similar reason we can rule out the Italian Mafia. There is no one of that group left, it’s all dead and buried. Today’s organized crime is a much different animal and is not the same entity that would exert power today to defend the secrets of the 1963 mafiosos.

Riiiiiiiight.

The JFK assassination industry mongers gotta eat too.

Certainly there will be no shortage of new books and web postings and History channel shows and so on afterwards.

My bet is that what is currently remaining as classified and unreleased has over the years been carefully curated and manufactured.

It is fake information held in reserve so that if the American public starts picking up the scent as to what group was really behind the Kennedy assassinations, it can be released to distract the public to the CIA or the Mafia or 4 tramps or interstellar aliens or whatever culprit is thought most useful to point the finger at to distract from the actual party responsible and their enablers.

I just don’t see the possibility that a group so powerful as to be able to perpetrate the assassinations and suppress information pointing in their direction all these years would allow real documents implicating them to continue to exist in government files.

Actually, it's true.

In Dr. Alzheimer's lecture on the new disease discovered by him, the word "kropf" was misheard by students and reporters as "kopf" and the disease was thought to relate to the head ever since.

The word "kropf" is the German word for goiter. Alzheimer's is actually a thyroid disease.
