It was an amazing event -- not just because of the anniversary or anything like that -- it was information from people who've sacrificed careers, status, and much, much more in order to learn and tell the truth about WHY President Kennedy was killed. Each day it becomes clearer and clearer WHO benefited from his murder. Here's what Hardway sounded like (after the intro from Len Osanic):



The Heinz History Center hosted a special event, "The JFK Assassination and the Media: A Panel Discussion." The panel included Russ Baker, IMO one of the best people, in terms of journalistic abilities, researching and writing on this subject. Baker agreed with the other panelists who said reporting and writing anything but "Oswald-did-it" was a career killer. He also said that the worst form of censorship, however, is self-censorship.

For those interested, here are the OPs -- including the current one -- I have started on the Duquesne Conference -- and two related events here in Detroitland -- over the last few weeks:

Thank you for sharing your memories of that time, Zen Democrat. On Tuesday after the assassination of President Kennedy really was "business as usual." Today, 50 years later, we still see in Washington and Wall Street and anyplace where the green is worshipped: "Money trumps peace."
