The Uncoverupable Kennedy Murder

Earlier this month was the 18th anniversary of the murder of Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. This year's trick-the-public scam could and does lead to another Kennedy murdered, JFK's son...

(ST AUGUSTINE) - It is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy. I have been watching one mainstream TV documentary after another examining the murder. By the end of this viewing ordeal, reluctantly I conclude, Lee Harvey Oswald did shoot the President. He lied without conscience to the cops for two days before he was killed by Jack Ruby.

Sadly, endless conspiracy-seeking writers have assumed that his proclamations were truthful. They were not.

Did Zapruder Kill JFK?

President Kennedy and his brother, U.S. Attorney Robert Kennedy, were set on eradicating organized crime from the United States.

(SALEM) - It has been fifty years since U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since that time, many theories have abounded that seek to resolve the issue of whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or if at least one more gunman participated in the November 22, 1963 murder.

Until now, no clear picture has emerged that would satisfy all parameters, both within the government and without. I believe that I can change that.

U.S. Army Pfc. Eugene Dinkin Intercepted Cable About JFK Assassination

He was 1963's incarnation of Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning; Dinkin intercepted cables in France and tried to prevent Kennedy's death.

(SACRAMENTO) - The sweeping view from "Garden of the Gods" above Colorado Springs was breathtaking in September. I sat with Robert "Tosh" Plumlee, a former CIA operative, taking in this panoramic scene, listening to his recollection of the day this country lost one of its most important national leaders, President John F. Kennedy.

Tosh was in Dallas that fateful day, 22 November 1963, as part of a CIA team dispatched to prevent the assassination of JFK. The story has always been here, yet few Americans know the dark saga of Private First Class Eugene Dinkin and his prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy.

Court in Jaffna Dismisses SL Military Claim on Tamil Memorial Site at Theeruvil

No civilized army or government will ever destroy the memorials of the dead, but Sri Lanka will do it. Here is a Sinhalese government that not only destroyed the memorial, but also claimed the property as their own, fit only for Sinhalese colonization. - Visvanathan Sivam

(JAFFNA TamilNet) - District Court of Point Pedro in Jaffna on Wednesday dismissed the claim by the Sri Lankan military that the land, which the Urban Council of Valveddith-thu’rai (VVT) had chosen to build a public park at Theeruvil was a property that should belong to the SL military.

Legal sources in VVT said the civic body could now proceed with building the park which is situated at a key memorial site...

Picasso Didn`t Go There... My Three Musicians

If music be the food of love, play on... - Smutty Bill

(DAYTONA BEACH) - There's an enigma about jazz. I mean traditional jazz, not the offshoots, the evolutionary branches.

I mean the kind you might have heard on Bourbon Street in the Big Easy, although more likely, these days, drowned out by hard rock abominations. Trad. Where I live, in Dixie where it all started, anyone you might stop on the street doesn't even know what you're talking about.

Breakfast in Restaurants and Cafés of Tehran

A sampling of Tehran's best breakfast options...

(TEHRAN) - Most people, who have to wake up early in the morning all through the week to go to work, will probably prefer to get out of bed later on Friday mornings [which is the official holiday in Iran].

They may also want to have their breakfast, say, at 11:00 a.m., and dine on a single meal as their lunch and supper, or at least, suffice to a light lunch. Having breakfast with one’s family is one of those blessings of which most of us are deprived as a result of the new urban lifestyle that we have adopted since we began to live in the cities.

Philly Couple, Activist Lawyer File Lawsuit over NSA Collection of Verizon Records

The suit is the first to be filed after the Guardian disclosed last week that a secret court order required Verizon to hand over call data from millions of customers to the NSA.

(PHILADELPHIA) - A Philadelphia couple and an activist attorney have filed a class-action lawsuit over the National Security Agency's collection of Verizon customers' records.

The suit, filed in federal court in D.C., contends that the NSA's surveillance violates Verizon users' "reasonable expectation of privacy, free speech and association, right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures, and due process rights."

The Discovery of America

I once spent a year in Philadelphia - I think it was on a Sunday - W.C. Fields

(DAYTONA BEACH) - America was discovered by nomads who crossed a land bridge to Alaska 10,000 years ago. They came on foot, before the invention of the wheel or the horse Some of them may have come from as far away as India, which may explain why they called themselves Indians.

Their ethnic origin has been widely debated, although since they wore feathers in their hair, they definitely weren't Chinese. They did talk funny, but so does everybody in southeast Asia.

Government`s Recent Performance Bolsters Skepticism About Its Role In Society

In mid-November, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Obama with the lowest approval rating of his presidency.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Government's performance in recent days has been dismal. This is hardly new. One of the reasons for President Obama's election, after all, was dismay with President George W. Bush's eight years in office.

During that period we went to war in Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction which turned out not to exist, taxpayers bailed out failing banks on Wall Street, Medicare was expanded with an unfunded drug benefit and government deficits reached all-time highs.

To Liberals: Wake up About Militias: Just Another Part of the Exploding Localization Movement

Many consider local food a drop in the bucket, up against industrial agriculture, not realizing its power.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - This is not about local food anymore. It is about a push for everything local and the local plans that can free us from debt, from corruption, from fear, from sickness, from control, from ignorance, from isolation and loneliness, from joblessness, from injustice.

In every one of the major areas where localization is bursting forth, there are major government efforts to malign those involved, to block information, to use regulations and unconstitutional laws and/or police to crush what works and any new initiatives.
