TINFOILHAT: JFK — is the Zapruder film a fake?

Sunday, July 31, 2011

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/07/25/124159/

Who’s telling the truth: Clint Hill or the Zapruder film?
Agent’s reports contradict JFK film, autopsy X-rays and other crucial photographs
Jim Fetzer

*** begin quote ***

The limo stop—during which JFK was hit twice in the head, once from behind and once from in front—was such an obvious indication of Secret Service complicity that it had to be taken out, which is undoubtedly the principal reason for fixing the film. But it had other ramifications. What Clint Hill has consistently described is not in the Zapruder film: he describes several actions in those seconds around the limo stop that were deleted from the extant film. In editing the timeline of the extant film, it was necessary to delete his pushing of Mrs. Kennedy back into the seat—there just wasn’t enough time left in the film once the limo stop had been deleted. There is no possible way in which Clint could possibly have seen what he claims to have seen before the car accelerated away and passed the lead car when he was stuck on the back of the speeding limo as he is shown doing in the extant film. And from his initial reports right up to his latest “book signing” interview, he has insisted that that was when he saw those things, that he did reach Mrs. Kennedy and that he did push her down into the car, unlike what the film shows. Which means that the film is a fake.

*** end quote ***

Clearly, the truth isn’t out.

The importance is in the coverup.

Who knew what; when?

Maybe we’ll never know.

Crime pays. Criminals escape.

INTERESTING: Should College Athletes Be Paid?

Should College Athletes Be Paid?
by MICHAEL
in PERSONAL FINANCE

*** begin quote ***

It seems every week, I hear of a new scandal involving a college athlete and the reason is always the same … money. For the past few months, the NCAA has been digging their claws into USC and Ohio State, two of the most storied athletic institutions there are in college sports. The consequences of these schools not playing fair have been the loss of championships and current coaching staff members and many in and out of the sport wonder if the simple solution is to pay college athletes for their performance. I vote a big, fat, NO.

*** end quote ***

I disagree.

The Colleges get rich. The coaches get rich. The “industry” surrounding them get rich.

The players MAY get an education.

(I guess they always get an education. Getting screwed is educational.)

Some of the sports are amateur; not the “big” ones.

And, if the athlete gets a career ending injury, then they are screwed.

Would seem like there needs to be a athlete’s union!

I think they should get a percentage. It’s the American way.

POLITICAL: Migraines?

Saturday, July 30, 2011

A president with migraines? Ask Thomas Jefferson
By Jeff Jacoby
Globe Columnist / July 24, 2011

*** begin quote ***

So is it news that a would-be president once complained of migraine attacks that were “paroxysms of excruciating pain’’ – headaches that “came on every day at sunrise and never left me till sunset’’? No – not unless it’s news that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote those words, suffered migraines. Ulysses Grant did, too.

I don’t know if Michele Bachmann can become the next president. But I do know this: She wouldn’t be the first one to live with migraine headaches.

*** end quote ***

The socialist cheerleaders in the Main Street Media, aka the Lame Street Media, are as much astroturf as the pseudo anti war zealots that protested against George Bush.

It’s not about “migraines”.

It’s about nothing more than getting their guy elected!

Argh!

TECHNOLOGY: Another way to self-publish

Why and How I Self-Published a Book
Posted by James Altucher on May 22nd, 2011

*** begin quote ***

I just self-published a book. “How to Be the Luckiest Person Alive”. I published it in paperback form, kindle form, and free PDF (see directions below to get free PDF). The entire process took me three weeks. Using an established publisher would’ve taken over a year.

*** end quote ***

I did mine with Lulu. He did his with Amazon.

Is there any doubt that the publishing industry is dead?

Borders is just the first casualty.

Content is king!

MONEY: What would happen if you …

Sunday, 24th July 2011 (by J.D. Roth)
Reader Story: Estate Planning – The First Month
This guest post from Jeffrey G. is part of the “reader stories” feature at Get Rich Slowly.

*** begin quote ***

What would happen if you, your spouse, a parent, someone who you shared a financial life with died today? Not next week after the car payment is sent in. Not next month when you’ve finally gotten around to writing down all of your passwords and account numbers. Not next year when you’ve updated your will. What would happen if they died today?

*** end quote ***

Clearly, you need an emergency fund for the year after the death of a spouse. Depending upon how into the spouse you were.

Wonder how long it takes to return to “normal”?

TECHNOLOGY: Test identity; not for drugs

Man with nine different names created massive benefits fraud from Thailand
Dublin man jailed for social welfare fraud
By CATHAL DERVAN, IrishCentral.com Staff Writer
Published Friday, July 22, 2011, 8:04 AM

*** begin quote ***

An Irish emigrant has been jailed for orchestrating a massive social welfare fraud across the border counties – while living it up in Thailand.

Paul Murray swindled the Irish taxpayer out of half a million dollars using nine different names in an elaborate international hoax.

The 63-year-old emigrated to Thailand in the 1970s but returned home every three months to collect his fraudulent social welfare payments.

*** end quote ***

Interesting.

The gang known as the State of Florida wants to test welfare recipients for illegal drugs.

Here’s an idea. DNA test all welfare recipients to establish identity.

Here’s another. Eliminate the dole. Period.

The Gooferment: Immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. In example after example.

Let’s use technology to solve problems?

TECHNOLOGY: A real time coffee pot for Dunkin Dounuts

Thursday, July 28, 2011

http://netjmc.com/future-intranet/way-of-working/real-time-intranet-from-20-years-ago

Real-time intranet from 20 years ago
July 25, 2011 | Comments (0), | Categories: New Ways of Working |

*** begin quote ***

My first vision of the potential of intranets was back in 1994 when an Italian engineer working at an American company located in Sophia Antipolis, high tech park in the South of France, showed me the famous, now defunct, Trojan Room coffee pot at Cambridge University from his own desktop in France.

*** end quote ***

I have several Dunkin Donuts in my area.

My grand niece in law, and her two siblings, my grand nephews in law, all under 10 ish, have very specific likes in donuts. I was invited to dinner and as usual I was tasked to bring the donuts.

I arrived at the closest DD and to my horror I find I can’t complete the usual order.

Aside: DD has committed terminal stupidity. Cost cutting the bakers. Donuts are delivered daily. When they are out they are out. You can but your favorites as long as they have them. Dumb! Certainly, opens a hole for a competitor who wants to go back to the old model. Fresh donuts baked as needed. Stupid.

So, why don’t they have a real time display of what’s for sale at each of the three locations. I can go where I can get my order filled.

Better yet, why can’t I submit my order by the web and be assured it’s ready for me.

Bottom line: I substituted, children didn’t seem to mind, but I didn’t have the kind I liked. Dissatisfied Customer.

(What’s worse. I blog.)

Think anyone at DD will notice?

TECHNOLOGY: CISCO does evil with Gooferment help

A pound of flesh: how Cisco’s “unmitigated gall” derailed one man’s life

By Ian Mulgrew

*** begin quote ***

In May 2011, nearly a year to the day after his deposition and arrest, Adekeye was vindicated. In a stinging decision, British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Ronald McKinnon rebuked both Canadian and American authorities for an appalling abuse of process and, in a rare move, he stayed extradition proceedings against Adekeye.

Justice McKinnon was stunned that a trivial $14,000 civil tort had been transformed into a criminal proceeding so as to engage the full might and resources of two governments and to mislead one of Canada’s senior trial courts. It was shocking, he said.

The justice dismissed three thick volumes of legal precedent filed by Canadian federal government lawyer Diba Majzub, who said that it didn’t matter if Adekeye was falsely characterized. At the end of the last century, after several high-profile requests dragged on for years (some as long as a decade), the government changed the Extradition Act to make the court’s job little more than that of a rubber stamp. It was America’s job, said Majzub, to rule on the merits of Adekey’s case—not Canada’s.

*** end quote ***

Seem like anyone dealing with CISCO should be very careful.

Unlike Google’s “Don’t be evil”, CISCO seems to have a different ethic.

So, ostracize CISCO?

SOFTWARE: POSTBOX not recommended

Thursday, July 28, 2011

(1) Crashing stopped

(2) Some accounts display nothing; other accounts headers only; others display normally.

(3) Attempt to send message from accounts says “settings wrong”.

Totally frustrated, and not willing to debug further.

I’ve lost a lot of time and emails that I’d have preferred to keep.

Deleted half of the accounts. Try indexing. Try compacting. Keeps crashing.

Is there any way to export the archives or is it all just locked up.
