A pro-Palestine mob has created a New Years Day nightmare as they have blockaded the JFK airport and surrounding roads, causing a gridlock for travelers. The protest was arranged by the pro-Palestine group called WOL as they instructed participants to flood JFK Terminal 4 on Monday. Only passengers with boarding passes and employees with valid forms of identification are being allowed to enter the JFK Air Train at Jamacia Station. Cars can be seen driving on the highway leading up to the airport as protestors shout 'NYD KKK, IDF, you're all the same.' 'VICTORY! Port Authority has effectively shut down...

Could a secret trip to Finland hold the key to an unresolved chapter in American history? Documents that were kept secret for 60 years have finally been released by the Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo), according to YLE. On the night of October 10, 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald checked into Helsinki’s Hotel Torni. His passport identified him as an American, and he booked room 309 for five days. However, after just two nights, Oswald abruptly left, claiming a desire to return to the US, a statement later proven false. Oswald’s Mysterious Movements In Helsinki Oswald’s actions in Finland puzzled authorities....

Alex Jones often says he was the last REAL president in the sense that they could (back then) actually run things, make decisions/appointments, decide policy etc. Since that fateful day his thesis is that all the presidents have been puppets. Every one of them with the possible exception of Trump who they used impeachment (twice!) / conviction to keep in line. Is there any truth to this do you think?

With new revelations calling into question the theory of the "lone gunman", Clare Thorp explores how JFK's assassination continues to live on in popular culture.This November, it will be 60 years since the assassination of President John F Kennedy. A significant anniversary usually provides a chance to remember and reflect on past events – but, in the case of JFK's death, interest has never really faltered. Almost immediately after those gunshots rang out on a sunny autumn day in Dallas, speculation over Kennedy's death began, and it hasn't stopped since.

In the later years of his life, Frank Sinatra would often reminisce about his loves, his losses and the friends he missed most, including Marilyn Monroe. While the events surrounding what really happened on August 4, 1962 when the star was found dead from a drug overdose remain a mystery, Sinatra's close confidant and former road manager Tony Oppedisano, whose memoir Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours, is excerpted in this week's PEOPLE, says the singer didn't believe it was an accidental overdose. "Frank believed she was murdered," he writes, "and he never got over it."

(CBS News) There are not many of us left who covered the assassination of John Kennedy, but only those of us who were alive before that awful weekend can really know how much it changed America. We had been a confident nation. We had won World War II. We believed in our leaders. We came to see our presidents as all but invincible. Because of television, we had come to know John Kennedy and his family more intimately than any of his predecessors. Then, in a matter of seconds, he was killed by a madman.

In 1988, in an elevator at a film festival in Havana, the director Oliver Stone was handed a copy of On the Trail of the Assassins, a newly published account of the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Stone admired Kennedy with an almost spiritual intensity and viewed his death on November 22, 1963 — 60 years ago this month — as a hard line in American history: the “before” hopeful and good; the “after” catastrophic. Yet he had never given much thought to the particulars of the assassination. “I believed that Lee Oswald shot the president,” he said. “I...

November 22, 1963, is a date defined by I will never forget. Sent home from school alone, frightened and attached to the TV, the day unfolded before me that even by today's standards was too much, too fast and too sad to grasp the entirety of what went down. My commitment to understanding it moved from passive to active many years later when Dr. Lawrence Klein, one of my personal physicians introduced to me by by mom, told me that on Nov. 22, 1963, he was a third-year medical student at UT Southwestern, doing a rotation at Parkland Memorial Hospital,...

No...I'm not sorry. And no, I dont want to date her. But I think she and AOC may make a cute couple.

Why were there doppelgänger Oswalds in Mexico City.

On this date in 1963, Ngo Dinh Diem, the first president of South Vietnam, was executed in the back of an armored personnel carrier along with his younger brother and secret police chief, Ngo Dinh Nhu, the day after their government had been overthrown in a military coup. Born into the Buddhist country’s Catholic elite, Diem was brought up as a French colonial administrator but fled Vietnam in 1950 under a death sentence from Ho Chi Minh’s nascent Vietminh. Over several years living and lecturing in the United States, he established his anti-communist bona fides with influential conservatives and was...

They’re hungry, hungry mollusks. Thousands of historic shipwrecks sunk in the American Great Lakes are at risk of being lost forever thanks to invasive, wood-destroying mussels. The lakes are home to an estimated 6,000 shipwrecks, with some dating back to the 17th century, according to estimates from the University of Buffalo. The Quagga mussel, originally native to the waters of Russia and Ukraine, is believed to have arrived in the Great Lakes in 1989 — possibly as a result of ballast dumps from transoceanic freighters traversing the lakes. The population of Quagga mussels has exploded in the waters of the...

A former Delta Airlines worker and his crony accused of stealing a bag containing more than $258,000 from JFK Airport “made a tremendous mistake” – leaving receipts behind in their getaway car that led to their arrests, prosecutors said as their trial kicked off Wednesday. The FBI found the car with the incriminating receipts five days after the Sept. 24, 2019 heist and arrested then-Delta ground services worker Quincy Thorpe and his pal, Emanuel Asuquo Okon, who are now on trial in Brooklyn federal court for the theft of the Miami-bound cash – which has not been recovered. “The money...

former Secret Service agent, Paul Landis, who was present at President John F. Kennedy's assassination, recently came forward with a revelation that challenges the 'magic bullet' theory and raises questions about the possibility of a second shooter. Landis, now 88 years old, shared his recollection with the New York Times nearly 60 years after the tragic event. He claimed that in the chaos following the shooting, he discovered a nearly pristine bullet on the back seat of the open limousine, just behind where Kennedy had been sitting when he was killed. Landis preserved the bullet for autopsy investigators by placing...
