JFK - Fifty Down and Twenty-Five To Go

by

     Seventy-five years, that is when the truth may come out about the Kennedy murder. For those of us that were alive on this fateful day in history remember that the "official" story and documents of the murder were sealed for seventy-five years, supposedly by the family, so that everyone connected to it would, most likely, be dead and therefore could not be held accountable. For those of you who were not born yet, you may never have heard of this before. If you haven't, you have now. .

     Since the fabricated Warren Commission Report was published, many in the public have stepped up to say that they got it wrong in finding that the assassination was the work of a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. Too many other facts and too many what seemed to be coinsidences almost immediately surfaced. The original report had to be "modified" after James Tague came forward. He not only witnessed the murder he himself was in the line of fire. Then 27, is believed to be the only bystander who was wounded that day in Dallas.( http://news.yahoo.com/video/jfk-assassination-witness-recounts-missed-015912500.html) The original report had three shots fired, three shots hit, but did they? No, says the revised version. This is the birth of the single bullet theory.

     Top forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht calls the Warren Commission's findings "absurd," noting that the "single bullet theory" supported by the commission is inconsistent with Kennedy's head wounds. He calls the killing a "CIA-orchestrated coup d'etat."  It was done with the help of the military/industrial complex for many reasons that I will not go into in this article.
    
      A second commission was formed years later, the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations of 1976-79. They disagreed on whether there may have been a second gunman. But the committee also said there was a high probability of a second shooter, citing acoustic evidence gathered from Dealey Plaza.

       "You have two official investigations conducted by the government reaching contradictory conclusions," says Larry Sabato, who wrote about the impact of the assassination in his book The Kennedy Half-Century.

     John T. Orr is the author of "Analysis of Gunshots in Dealey Plaza." Orr's independent research convinced the FBI to conduct additional testing on JFK evidence as late as 1997. He stated "On April 17, 1995, I mailed a 72-page report on the final results of my research project to Attorney General Janet Reno. It presented what was then, and I believe still is, the only complete visual reconstruction of the gunshots together with all of the evidence supporting it. 

     
     The report proves beyond a reasonable doubt that four shots were fired during the assassination. Oswald fired three shots--the first wounding the President in the back and neck, the second missing the President completely and hitting Governor Connally in the back, chest, and thigh, and the third missing the 25-foot-long limousine entirely. While Oswald was spraying bullets wildly, another shooter, an expert marksman fired a fourth shot, a near-perfect fatal hit at the center of the back of the president's head that exited the right side of the head and struck the governor's right wrist.

     In the report, I recommended a number of things the Justice Department could do to further confirm my analysis. The Department directed the FBI to do only one of those things -- examine important forensic evidence I had pointed out on one of the bullet fragments found in the limousine. It took about five years to complete that examination and report the results.

     In the end, the FBI did only a portion of the fragment examination I had requested, and the results were incomplete and inconclusive. The Department permanently shut down any further investigation of my analysis."

     Another investigator added "I don't think we have a good explanation of the assassination," says Jefferson Morley, creator of the website JFKfacts.org. "The causes of the crime were obscured, and we're still living with the consequences." Crime scene investigator Sherry Feister, author of the book "Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination," insists that the president was shot from the front, not from behind as the commission maintained.
    
      Even Secretary of State John Kerry recently said he believed that Oswald did not act alone.Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently disclosed that the Kennedy family does not believe the lone gunman finding.


     The truth remains elusive, as thousands of pages of documents remain classified by the U.S. government. We may find out in another 25 years, if it's released, if any of us who were there are still alive to remember.

A "Democratic Socialist" Mayor for New York

  by

     M. Richard Maxson

      New Yorkers have elected a new mayor who dedicated himself to the Sandinistas in the 1980s, honeymooned in Cuba in the 1990s (in violation of a U.S. travel ban), and participated in a New York City Council event honoring Zimbabwe's tyrannous Robert Mugabe in 2002?

     In 1988, Bill de Blasio went to Nicaragua to aid the Marxist, Soviet-supported Sandinistas. He came home, as The New York Times put it, with "a vision of the possibilities of unfettered leftist government." Today, 25 years later, New York City Public Advocate de Blasio, has been elected mayor and  remains "very proud" of his radical activities. Mr. de Blasio's class warfare strategy in New York City is directly out of the Marxist playbook. Initially, he denied having once claimed for himself the "democratic socialist". "I am a progressive who believes in an activist approach to government.  The people of this city have chosen a progressive path, and tonight we set forth on it together as one city."

     As Americans brace for the federal takeover of one-sixth of the economy with Obamacare, do we know what's hitting us yet? It's called socialism, and it has increasingly transformed the American political landscape.  We are now at a place where there are legitimately fewer Americans who desire a free republic with a free people than there are those who think the government should give them stuff. There are fewer of us who believe in the value of free exchange and free enterprise. There are fewer of us who do not wish to demonize successful people in order to justify taking from them. Quite unexpectedly, socialism -- or its variant, "democratic socialism" -- has quickly emerged in New York City.  

     Americans are so grievously under-educated about the tenets of Marxism-Leninism. The left's vision of the world is the implicit assumption that high-minded third parties like themselves can make better decisions for other people than those people can make for themselves. The fact that the "new Democratic Socialism" is never "democratic," and that "socialism" destroys free markets. Such ideas, which have entered the Democratic Party mainstream flow from anti-liberty, collectivist roots. The new mayor's policies have less to do with the principles of free people under the U.S. Constitution than with government controls in the old Eastern bloc -- from de Blasio's plans to expand government's role in the economy by controlling prices in the housing market and imposing a higher minimum wage, to degrading the concept of national citizenship by introducing a "Universal City ID card" and allowing driver's licenses for illegal aliens. The promised "fundamentally changing  of America" continues.

Putting America in it's Place

by

     In July of 1944, 730 financial leaders from 44 nations met at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire for a conference in which they recreated the economic world: They established the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. They founded the International Monetary Fund. And they created the World Bank. They established themselves as de facto rulers of the western world. They are the invisible men behind the presidents and prime ministers that REALLY control everything on the planet.

     Now, 67 years later, another conference has just concluded that gives several observers flashbacks to Bretton Woods. A left-wing billionaire did fund two major conferences that start on the same day, in two different locations just a three hours apart by car. Two liberal events packed into one long weekend. The guest list is said to have included former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and former chair of President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors, Joseph Stiglitz  to produce “a lot of high-quality, breakthrough thinking.”

     The conference organizer? None other than George Soros — the internationalist and mega-investor who, in his own words, sees a pressing need to “rearrange the entire financial order.” and no one seems to have noticed. More than 200 did attend, but only 79 speakers are listed on its site – and it already looks like a Soros convention. The rest of the list read like a "Who’s Who" of left-wing organizations and talking heads, including the president of PBS, a senior vice president with American Public Media, an Al Jazeera English executive, the president of the Newspaper Guild – CWA and Washington Post columnist Rob Pegoraro, two commissioners from the FCC, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Bernie Sanders, four Democratic representatives, the head of Columbia University, and assorted left-wing journalist types, from Salon’s Glenn Greenwald to disgraced former MSNBC host David Shuster, who now works for Soros.

      Twenty-two are on Soros-funded INET’s board and three more are INET grantees. Even Soros admits his ties to INET are a problem, saying, “there is a conflict there which I fully recognize.” He claims he stays out of operations. That’s impossible. The whole event is his operation. Nineteen are listed as contributors for another Soros operation – Project Syndicate, which calls itself “the world's pre-eminent source of original op-ed commentaries” reaching “456 leading newspapers in 150 countries.” That’s just the beginning. The emphasis of both conferences is a familiar one to American voters – change. In one conference Soros wanted to begin changing the global economy in one event. In the other, his flunkies want to “Change the world. Change the media.”

      The billionaire  told Australia 's national newspaper "The Australian." " America , as the  centre of the globalized financial markets, was sucking up the savings of  the world. This is now over. The game is out," he said, adding that the  time has come for "a very serious adjustment" in American's consumption  habits. He implied that he was the one with the power to bring this  about."  

     When the anti-American Soros spent $50 million creating the New York City-based Institute for New Economic Thinking(INET), he began a major move against the dollar. The billionaire openly declared his plans to “reform the currency system.” "The dollar needed to take a back seat and end its stint as the world reserve currency." “The big question is whether the U.S. dollar should be the reserve currency; and, in fact, it no longer is,” Soros told Bloomberg. The move against the dollar has gained momentum rapidly. Soros wrote that “the rising powers must be present at the creation of this new system to ensure that they will be active supporters.” “Reorganizing the world order will need to extend beyond the financial system and involve the United Nations, especially membership of the Security Council.” Soros emphasized that point, that this needs to be a global solution, making America one among many.  The Bush-hating billionaire says America is scary “because a declining superpower losing both political and economic dominance but still preserving military supremacy is a dangerous mix.”

     Sadly, those who actually report the news didn’t reporting on Soros or either event. And that’s even though staffers or even executives from Reuters, the Financial Times, NPR, PBS, The Washington Post and other major media outlets are speaking at one event or the other. The Soros empire is silent about these conferences because it isn’t just designed to change global economic rules it is, as Soros puts it, "to put America in its place"
