[David Stanley]

America has been on a slide into the third world ever since the coup of 1963.

"the stench of truth" is so thick I can smell it right up here in Canada.

One only needs eyes to see and ears to hear

the truth is all around America today

from the 24 trillion stolen to  prop up foreign owned banks to illegal wars and the constant lying to the American people.

Who are left in the dark because the lies now are 50 years deep.

911 and more 911 will come because Americans take it all lying down.

-- Pathetic, blindly repeating bland lemming shill-swill lacking even a minimal grasp of the evidenciary, testiment and circumstantial proof of massive coordinated cover-up, tampering and fabrication designed to implicate Oswald the FBI informant, CIA asset, anti-Marxist patsy as the designated fall-guy; Read Dr. Mary's Monkey for background on Dallas 1963 Nov. FACT: The wt. mass of bullets/fragments observed striking curb, found in the Limo, Conally & JFK is MORE than in 2 shots.

That was interesting, insightful stuff.

She'd have made a great weather person. Colorful. If she had been Vice President under JFK he would have died laughing.

Abraham Bolden (first black SS guy) says SS co-agents claimed they would not take a bullet for JFK. They didn't like his integration policies. SS clearly underperformed that day, especially the driver. Unbelieveable he steps on brake instead of gas after all his training (leaving JFK a sitting duck).

Anne Rice is a genius!

J. Edgar Hoover said to two friends: "If I told you what I really know, it would be dangerous for this country. Our whole political system could be disrupted."

[Boelcke1919]

Richard Nixon said the Warren Commission Report was the greatest "hoax" ever perpetuated on the American people. I for one am not amused and yes, it is going to get raised "up above" and for a fact. Get ready for judgment. If you are guilty of any part of it (including the cover up), you are guilty of ALL of it. This should get VERY interesting.

[Boelcke1919]

When I think of all the evil deeds done to cover up these monstrous crimes and all the horrible sins, too, I think I should point out that anyone who is even just a part of the criminal conspiracy andi ts coverup, is guilty of the whole evil enterprise from start to finish, and that will surely be pointed out "up there." I can guarantee that much. Boy is it going to get pointed out! So, the murders done to cover it up? Being guilty at all is the same as being guilty of ALL of it.

[Boelcke1919]

No, you're wrong. You and I (and the rest of humanity) will learn about it in the life hereafter, and my suspicion is that "national security" will not be an adequate defense for these evildoers who betrayed the Kennedys and the American people. I suspect that will be their main defense, but it won't work for them any more than "I was just following orders" will work for Nazis.

It was the Cubans no it wasn't the Cubans, Oswald was in Mexico City no Oswald was not in Mexico City, Bobby and Jack wanted Fidel dead up until Jack died no that is not true. JIm Garrison was right on the money no Jim Garrison was a nut. It was the CIA and the Mob no it was not the Cia or the Mob. I can't take it anymore, we'll never know the truth.

Awesome book, read it and make your own judgements...but 3 things to remember:

 You dont need "official" backing from the whole of each agency; a few from the CIA here, a few from the FBI there; friends who have had multi-agency careers. The US was an utterly divided country from '60-'68; civil war was at least possible... And an extremely proffessional assassination is not likely to leave hard evidence behind. But the scale of the job is such that circumstancial evidnence: abundant.

America's last free and independent President was Kennedy. All the rest have been puppets. John-John had indicated he was going to reveal to the world who the insiders were that murdered his father through his popular mag George. Short time later a surface-to-air missle takes his private plane down off Martha's Vineyard. Wake up people, our government is corrupt. The Wall St Banksters have shaken us down for 26+ Trillion. We have the best government money can buy!
