90. Octafish, these threads always keep me up late...
and grab my attention.

When JFK was killed I was in high school. That day I was out sick and saw it live on tee vee.
My father told me this same story right after it happened. He told me to never forget as I grew older. These people were into big oil, Texas, and other things that were bad. To always be aware of who they were because a day might come when they did take over. I'm not sure how he knew all this, but I've never had any doubt that he was correct. Johnson is another story.

There is something odd, this year. Too many boomer buttons being pushed, I don't know why. I do know the "Dallas Morning News" has broken two stories this week. The first one picked up the UK article regarding arms sales that nobody else in the US would touch, except our La La Raw Raw. Obama, his security falling back in Dallas. The next day Hillary's escort being killed in a freak motorcycle accident close to the same area JFK was killed at Dealy Plaza. And he lived on Clinton Avenue!?!
It's '08, not '68 ... but begs comparison to things I don't even want to think about. It's creepy!

I feel something big is going on and I can't fit all the puzzle pieces together. Just that if a coup d'etat started with JFK, this is the end...not the beginning. An intelligence war, maybe ... good or bad...don't know the answer.

This past week I have studied why Eisenhower would leave us with his message regarding the military industrial complex. By the end of his term it was obvious he couldn't tolerate Nixon.

In the 1960 election to choose his successor, Eisenhower endorsed his own Vice President, Republican Richard Nixon against Democrat John F. Kennedy. However, he only campaigned for Nixon in the campaign's final days and even did Nixon some harm when asked by reporters on TV to list one of Nixon's policy ideas he had adopted, replying "give me a week, I might think of one, I don't remember". Kennedy's campaign used the quote in one of their campaign commercials. Nixon lost narrowly to Kennedy.

All of it seems to have started in the 50's. Eisenhower, in retrospect for me, was giving the same message my father gave me.

People can scoff if they want or need, but the reality is all this is more than likely very true.
Not forgetting, RFK and MLK...it's all one big puzzle of manipulation. People need to be asking, how or can we ever get out from under all this. While praying something worse doesn't happen and hoping the good guys finally win out.

You younger ones, it's called, 'thinking outside the box.'

Excellent, as always.
