Demolishing The Warren Report

One of my entertainments, from time to time, has been the Kennedy assassination… John Kennedy’s, that is. I’m not particularly a fan of mysteries, but once in a while one of them intrigues me, and this is a good one.

What I’m going to show you today are two images from a CBS News Special Report from 1967, filmed and broadcast because so many people had failed to believe the Warren Report. I’m quite sure they didn’t realize they were making their esteemed report ridiculous, but they did it just the same. Continue reading “Demolishing The Warren Report”

My Depression

Don’t worry, it was a low-grade thing, not at all like the debilitating depression many people suffer through. So low-grade, in fact, that I didn’t think of it as more than a bad mood.

I wouldn’t normally discuss such a thing beyond family and friends, but this time it seems a good idea, and if you’ve been reading my writings for any length of time, I’ll take you as a friend. And so I’ll get a bit autobiographical today. Continue reading “My Depression”

Family groups might also be clustered together in the same general area. Continue reading “Earned Knowledge, L6, P4”

How To Go To The Doctor

“Mr. Rosenberg,” the young, female voice on the phone said, “I got your number from my brother, _____. (One of the sons from the Omega Ambulance Service), and I’d like to have a discussion with you.”

I was about to ask “About what?” but the odds were very high that this was not a discussion to be conducted where Sauron was listening, and so I set it up at my usual place for such things, Jay’s Bar. I ended up meeting her about a week later. Continue reading “How To Go To The Doctor”

What Julian Assange Was Really Doing

Julian Assange sits in an English prison cell, as he has for some years. He got there on trumped-up charges and remains there because he hurt the plans of powerful people.

We must not forget about Julian. And so I am re-posting this article from some years ago, with just a bit of editing. It explains what Julian and his friends were really doing, which is probably not what you thought.

A lot of people know the what about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks – that they publish secret information – but they don’t know the why. And that’s unfortunate, because the thinking behind all the leaks is both brilliant and illuminating. Continue reading “What Julian Assange Was Really Doing”
