pointing to LBJ and people with "Nazi" like mentality --

Ruby made a record of some kind -- think he had his sister and brother

come to the hospital with some recording device. Later he denied it.

We see a lot of those denials these days!

And, of course, Dorothy Killgallen evidently got his story and also got murdered!

9. Executive Order 11110
IMHO this EO is what got Kennedy killed.

On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve (US Central Bank). Mr. Kennedy's order gave the Treasury the power "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation.

As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations . $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated.

10. "IMHO" - You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts, as the saying goes.
Here's what the facts say got President Kennedy killed:

On November 22, 1963, while riding in an open motorcade in downtown Dallas, Texas, an angry, alienated young man named Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, assassinated President Kennedy using a rifle from the sixth floor of the building in which he worked.

In the forty-seven years since the crime was committed not one piece of credible evidence has surfaced contradicting that factual narrative. Not one. Period, end of sentence.

Those who continue to peddle myths to the contrary dishonor the late president's memory every time they engage in same.

11. Are you saying
JFK didn't write that executive order? Or are you sayng the treasury wasn't printing and circulating non-fed money? Don't you think that'd piss off a few folks? Maybe enough to hire some contract killers to stop him? And there are always plenty of those around if you've got the right kind of money, and we all know who's got that kind of money.

Shades of Lincoln and his greenbacks. Deja vu all over again.

14. Oh btw,
don't forget our 20th President, James Garfield, who was opposed to establishing a national bank that would have been controlled by international bankers and was assassinated by another 'crazed, lone nut gunman."

That's three crazed lone gunmen killing presidents who tried to take back the creation of the currency this nation operates on and ended up getting whacked. Do you detect a pattern here?

Oh, and don't forget Loius McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee from 1932 -1934. "While exercising the duties of this position he exposed some of the greatest crimes of the century, including his stinging indictment of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in which he charged them "with having treasonably conspired to destroy constitutional government in the United States".

Only difference, McFadden was poisoned.

When I was in school, the teachers most often said, "look it up". I guess that's why there was a library down the hall.

but I think it was the steel industry he wanted to nationalize.

I wouldn't doubt, though, that he would have moved on the oil companies, too, if he had had time. He scared the "BIG's" half to death, so they took him all the way there.

29. Non-responsive. You stated: "it was the steel industry he wanted to nationalize"
Fact: JFK never once either stated he wanted or attempted to nationalize the "Steel Industry" (Sic).

Fact: It was not the "Steel Industry" (Sic) in any event that he did the "arm-twisting" on, but only a few recalcitrant companies who eventually saw things the administrations way. It was an anti-inflationary effort, not a nationalization effort.

So, what you have done is make an assertion that is false, and when it is pointed out to you that it is false you change the premises of the question and act as if you stated something you didn't, in order to attempt to wiggle away from having been proved wrong. Per usual.

Please try again.

31. A few recalcitrant companies?
KENNEDY VERSUS BIG STEEL
During his first year in office President John F Kennedy and his administration were involved in negotiations between the major steel firms and their workers. By the end of March 1962 a deal was cut whereby workers received no wage increase but expanded fringe benefits. With this settlement worked out, Kennedy assumed steel companies would not raise their prices. Two weeks later, however, Roger M. Blough, president of U.S. Steel, went to the White House and handed Kennedy a press release announcing a price hike of six dollars a ton. The other major steel firms immediately followed suit.

He responded by attacking the action of steel executives on television and initiated a grand jury investigation on price-fixing in the steel industry. The Pentagon threatened to shift procurement to companies that had not raised prices, and Congress was encouraged to investigate the industry as well. Three days after the price increases were announced, several firms backed down, and the following day, 14 April, Blough rescinded U.S. Steel's new price.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3468302218.html

Yeah, those recalcitrant companies definitely saw the light. I'll bet Blough was one unhappy camper.

And your reply here merely proves my point that he wanted to do no such thing.

You have a peculiar manner of "debating" your opposite numbers: usually agreeing with your opponent and then posting proof that your own assertions were false is not considered "debating," but "agreeing."

Your concession that I was correct and you were not is noted: discussion concluded. :thumbsup:

35. I stated you were factually wrong, and you were. An intellectually honest & reasonable person would
simply concede their factual error, and move on. You chose not to, for obvious reasons related to those two concepts.

Instead, you burned up this sub-thread constantly changing the subject, moving the premises of your original assertion around, ignoring your own (factually false) claims, and indulging in personal attacks.

Per usual.

CT'er bonus this round: Last Wordism.

"All I can say for idiots who insist on pretending his death had no deeper meaning than a lone nut and a magic bullet, I sure hope they'll enjoy bending over from now until eternity for their masters because the killers broke the mold"

Hateful language and violence-driven revenge metaphors in response to their perceived "enemies" is a CT'er trait that crops up again & again & again not just in this sub-forum, but in any forum where CT'ers congregate and are challenged on their total lack of credible facts. It's a recurring theme.

Again: your concession is accepted, have a good evening.

NEW YORK | Thu Jan 14, 2010 5:23am EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. foreclosure actions shattered all records in 2009 and will do so again this year, with unemployment and wage cuts overcoming programs to remedy failing home loans, RealtyTrac said on Thursday.

A record 2.8 million properties with a mortgage got a foreclosure notice last year, jumping 21 percent from 2008 and 120 percent from 2007, the Irvine, California-based real estate data company found.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60D0LZ20100114

This is the kind of violence Kennedy tried to stop with his EO, economic violence against the American people by the fed, the IMF and the BIS and we all know who won that round. Unfortunately, it was the final death blow to this nation that still isn't understood by many of the victims 47 years later, ignorance that's helped along greatly by those who deny, deny, deny.

40. Democratic Party Platform did call for NATIONALIZING oil industry .....
The power play that went on with the steel industry -- think it was Blunt/? --

was something almost volcanic! JFK was telling them to roll back their price increase.

FDR was going to nationalize the oil industry but for some reason he check to see what

LFJ thought about it. Can't imagine that FDR didn't know who LBJ was even at that time?

But LBJ advised him against it and he didn't do it.

We will never be able to address Global Warming properly nor gain alternative energy

until we do nationalize oil industry.

Only way the right wing can rise is via political violence -- stolen elections -- lies.

45. From your link ...
The Democratic Administration will support continued study and research on energy fuel resources, including new sources in wind and sun. It will push forward with the Passamaquoddy tidal power project with its great promise of cheaper power and expanded prosperity for the people of New England.

We support the establishment of a national fuels policy.

The $15 billion national investment in atomic energy should be protected as a part of the public domain.

--------------------------------

What do you take that bolded sentence to mean, if not national (government) control of oil and gas? What/who is the public domain?

That's probably why the steel issue stuck in my mind as opposed to his position on the fuel industry, which he didn't have enough time to put into law. But I read the link apocalypse posted and yeah, he had them in his sights, too.

It doesn't even bear thinking about how different this country might be today if not for that day in Dallas.

Edited on Tue Nov-23-10 11:01 AM by defendandprotect
was something you don't forget. I really wasn't political at the time --

though JFK was attracting us all to think more about our government and was

making clearer the issues. But, I can only say that as uninformed as I was

about what was going on, the reaction to JFK's demand created shockwaves.

Didn't quite understand at the time about TPB and the why's of it all.

Just remember those shockwaves.

Kissinger seems to be playing a repeat role - sadly connected to the Obama administration ---


Remarks by National Security Adviser Jones at 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy
Published February 8, 2009

Speaker: James L. Jones
U.S. National Security Adviser Jones gave these remarks at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009.

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through Generaal Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.


http://www.cfr.org/publication/18515/remarks_by_nationa...




And, in an Oliver Stone's screenplay for NIXON which for some odd reason my library got at that

time -- there was an opening scene which didn't make it into the movie ...

It was Nixon on the border with Vietnam, hiking around a treasure chest of gold, trying to make

the Gulf of Tonkin deal. Still don't know what to make of that. Of course, Nixon does play a

large role later in stifling the Vietnam peace talks which LBJ had stopped the bombing to

encourage. LBJ called his activities "treason."

say to the widow of the man who, acting alone, assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

102. The Warren Commission's core conclusion that LHO, acting alone, assassinated JFK stands un-refuted,
and there has not been produced a single shred of credible evidence contradicting that conclusion in forty-six years. The closest the CT'er "community" ever got to official recognition of their pet theories and bizarre, fact-free scenarios was the House Select Committee's now solidly-disproved contention that acoustic evidence indicated that their might have been a second shot coming from the grassy knoll.

1. The House committee's conclusion was based on the report of an individual who was not even an acoustics expert, by his own admission, and whose report was hotly disputed within the committee even at the time.

2. In 1981, a group of actual acoustics experts solidly disproved the notion that the acoustic evidence pointed anywhere other than in the direction of the TSBD, and, therefore, Lee Harvey Oswald, as the origin of all of the shots.

3. In 2003, a further investigation showed that the conclusion of the 1979 House Select committee regarding the acoustic evidence of a shot fired from the grassy knoll was not even plausible, give the location of the various motorcycle microphones at the time the shots were fired.

"Trying to see if you were serious. Obviously you aren't"

Obviously, you continue to be "immune" to factual evidence and actual credible data. You have posted not a single verifiable fact regarding the "case," as you call it. There was no conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy: the vast, overwhelming body of evidence points to one man, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. The case is closed, as far as all honest & reasonable observers are concerned. Period.

108.  One great attribute of Jesse Ventura
Edited on Wed Jan-05-11 02:53 PM by howaboutme
is that he has not gone through the Harvard - Goldman filter of group think. So many of those with influence, position, mouthpiece and ability to to tell us how things are, or how they should be are "graduates" of same or similar elitist programs.

They tend to see things much differently than the rest of us and are much less likely to question the status quo. It is absolutely why cultural diversity in government and business is so important.
