On The Trail Of Delusion

[Jon Banks]

Too bad Tom Robinson, one of Kennedy's embalmers also confirmed a big hole in the back of his head. But then, what would he know, right? He and his colleagues only worked on preparing the body for funeral for several hours.

Correct and the 44 witnesses that Aguilar referred to includes some autopsy witnesses.

Also strange how Steve refers to the Parkland doctors as “amateurs” as if they had no prior medical experience with gunshot wounds or other physical trauma.

In reality, Eisenhower was warning American’s about the MIC’s new chief, JFK. It was JFK who campaigned on the phony missile gap with the soviets and was telling American’s to build bomb shelters. In his short tenure as POTUS, the MIC became the largest in America’s history. JFK was a staunch anti communist pillorying Harry Truman while a Senator for losing China to the communists. It would not happen on his watch he told aides.

I agree that Kennedy was no “dove” but he also wasn’t the biggest Hawk in his time.

It was perceived in Kennedy’s time that Johnson was the bigger anti-Communist.

And since when does one have to be a professional to see where a hole is and how big it is?

What did Doris say about Kennedy’s head wound in 1963?

Memories fade over time. Which is why it’s best to focus on what witnesses said in their earliest statements…

[Paul May]

Whoa that's a laugher

Why?

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Why?

Paul, I've never read any account that Eisenhower was pointing that warning, directly or indirectly, at JFK. Do you have any source on that?

It seems to me that Eisenhower was worried about a type of Congressional/military industrial alliance where defense spending and arms programs became a type of jobs program or politically beneficial program for some groups against the interests of the country. Sort of what Madison warned about when he talked about "factions" influencing policy too much.

In the same speech, he said this: "We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily, the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle with liberty the stake. Only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment."

Not exactly a peacenik <g>.

'atheistic in character'
_Sounds exactly like CTer fare:
  Nothing is knowable
  Nothing is provable
  Nothing is believable

Further:

Everything is Sinister
Everything is a Lie
Everything is Planted
Everything is Faked
Everything is Altered
Everything is a Hoax
Everything is a Sham

When solid evidence reveals the truth people want to claim it's a "hoax". The same exact tactic Criminal Donald and the right uses when damaging evidence comes out against them. They claim "hoax" so they can dismiss the truth.
