It’s time we come to terms with the fact that ‘America’ as we know it is dead and buried, and it has been for decades. We live in UMERKA now. The country has reverted to what it has always been throughout its history: a white supremacist, oligarchic, theocratic, authoritarian imperial power. Trump and his ilk […]
The Devil’s Chessboard by David Talbot connects a few more dots in the JFK assassination story. It’s ostensibly a biography of Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA under Eisenhower and Kennedy, but Talbot’s book examines how Dulles’ criminal acts helped to create the Orwellian national security state we currently inhabit. “Mind control experimentation, torture, […]
“Conspiracy theory” has always been used as a pejorative one-stop label as a means to dismiss any alternative explanation of an event which doesn’t conform to the ‘official’ explanation. The term ‘conspiracy theory’ was concocted by the CIA to discredit anyone daring to point out the many glaring discrepancies, oversights, and outright lies in the […]
Nine of the 10 poorest states in America are Red. What does that tell you? The people who vote Republican – mostly poor and working class whites who do so against their own economic interests – are like attack dogs for the rich. They are trained to growl and bark at things like a decent […]
President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 marked a turning point in US foreign policy away from peace and collaboration with the Soviet Union on nuclear disarmament and cooperation in outer space – and toward escalation of US involvement in Vietnam, the Cold War and ultimately, perpetual war. Who sought this? Cuba? Certainly not. JFK […]
Like, why is there no ‘JFK Remembrance Day?’ Why is there nothing at all to commemorate this date? We commemorate 9-11 every goddam year. Why not JFK? The Power Elite hated President Kennedy and everything he stood for. While the rest of the world mourned his horrible death, they were celebrating. But the horrendous tragedy […]
Murder Most Foul is his Dylan’s best work in years. The song – more of a recitation with minimalist music – plays like an obituary to the last 70 years; a lament for the dream of America, “the shining city upon the hill.” Maybe even an elegy for the entire 20th century; for popular culture […]
It is astonishing that the mainstream media [MSM] in the USA still cling to such obvious absurdities as the “lone gunman” theory of JFK’s assassination; a scenario which could only have been possible in an alternative universe, where the laws of Physics cease to exist. Kennedy was clearly killed by the head shot that came […]
[This is highly relevant today…] The ‘steel crisis’ of 1962 was a very public showdown between President John F. Kennedy, U.S. Steel and seven other major steel manufacturers over their blatant violation of an agreement which he had personally negotiated between U.S. Steel and the United Steel Workers’ Union. JFK was concerned about rising inflation. […]
[Okay…it was actually Psilocybin…-JD] In January of 1962, Mary Pinchot Meyer – ex-wife of high-level CIA operative Cord Meyer – began an affair with President John F. Kennedy. Charles Bartlett, a journalist from the Chattanooga Times and a close friend of JFK recalled: “They had great fun together and a lot of things in common. […]
