Quoth the Raven #131 – Dave Collum: The Conspiracy Theory Episode
July 19, 2019

*** begin quote ***

Dave talks nearly 3 hours of conspiracy theories: we go deep on the Las Vegas shooting and 9/11, we also talk the Fed and big pharma. Collum also weighs in with his stance on JFK, the Moon landings, HAARP, chemtrails and how the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco could turn the world on its fucking head.

David B. Collum is an economic commentator, chemist, Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. He holds a PhD, Columbia University, MS, Columbia University, MA, Columbia University and BS, Cornell University.

TINFOILHAT: Herbert Philbrick and the Kennedy assassination

Figuring Out The Kennedy Assassination
By Jacob G. Hornberger
The Future of Freedom Foundation
August 18, 2017

*** begin quote ***

The official story of the Kennedy assassination is that he was killed by a former U.S. Marine, lone-nut, communist assassin named Lee Harvey Oswald.

The big problem, however, is that the official story has never comported with much of the circumstantial evidence in the case nor with common sense, reason, and logic. That’s why no one has ever been able to come up with a credible motive for Oswald to kill Kennedy.

*** and ***

In the 1950s, there was a famous television series called I Led Three Lives, which is based on a book of the same name by a man named Herbert Philbrick. The series revolved around an American man who posed as a communist but who was actually a FBI agent. The man’s job was to infiltrate communist cells that were supposedly operating here in the United States and secretly report their activities to the FBI.

*** and ***

Was Oswald in fact an U.S. intelligence agent whose secret portrayal as a communist was used to frame him for assassinating the president? As I show in my ebook Regime Change: The JFK Assassination, that’s the only thesis by which all the mysteries, anomalies, inconsistencies, and contradictions disappear. It’s the only thesis by which all the pieces of circumstantial evidence fall into place in the Kennedy assassination.

*** end quote ***

I remember watching that “I Led Three Lives”. Very powerful TV propaganda.

Well, why I am not ready to say this theory makes everything problematic disappear, it certainly seem plausible.

I’m too old to think “We, The Sheeple” will ever learn the “truth”.

I’m too cynical to believe the official story.

I’m disgusted that the “facts” haven’t come out.

And, I’m annoyed that “We, The Sheeple” don’t really care.

Sigh! So sad.

This is how the American Experiment dies, from the ignorance and apathy of the citizens.

Trump’s current troubles with a “leaky” and fiercely oppositional bureaucracy is indicative of how much power the Deep State has over the levers of Gooferment.

Argh!

The remedy is secession and break it up.

POLITICAL: Tom Woods destroys the JFK mythology

In a forty five minute podcast, Tom Woods destroys the JFK mythology.

Especially in vogue today, is an assertion that the JFK assasination was partially due to his opposition to the FED.  Tom destroys that illusion.

Well worth a listen in my opinion.

LBJ’s Double – Cousin Jay Bert Peck – And his Untimely Death
By Phil Nelson
November 15, 2014

*** begin quote ***

It all started in 1968, when a news item appeared in two national magazines announcing that Lyndon Johnson had a “double,” a man who was known to have “stood-in” for Johnson on a number of occasions when Johnson wanted his presence known to have “existed,” even though he needed to be someplace else at that point in time. Lyndon’s cousin, J. Bert Peck, had a close resemblance to Johnson, and a voice that sounded like him.

*** and ***

The fact that these scenes were originally in the movie, as noted by the news articles above, but deleted at some later point, suggests that someone did not want the fact that Johnson had a “double” to become widely known to the public, at least in such a record that might become permanent, like a movie.  All of which begs the questions, “Who would have had the power to delete that footage, and change the movie description to delete all references to the “presidential” scenes and change the credits to list only “J. B. Pick” (instead of “Peck”) and instead of listing his character name (LBJ) it is only listed as “uncredited.”   One must carefully ponder this question and consider the implications, as part of this exercise in deductive reasoning: “Is it possible that LBJ picked up the telephone and called Jack Valenti one day in August, 1968, and asked (or, more likely, ordered) him to have those changes made to the movie? If not, how then did these obviously telling yet otherwise innocuous set of changes get made, and by whose order?”

*** and ***

There was scarcely any other news about Jay Bert Peck’s murder, except for his obituary two days later.  The abbreviated news coverage on the death of Mr. Peck resulted in yet another unresolved anomaly:  Although he was found by his wife Dorothy shortly after the gunshot, when she ran into the bedroom to find him lying in bed with a bullet wound in the head, there was no indication in any report of a gun ever being found at the scene.

*** end quote ***

Who indeed?

There are many murders associated with LBJ. Not the least of which is the Kennedy assasination.

I doubt we will ever know the truth.

A body double plays a central role in the Heinlein novel Double Star (1956). So, it’s very plausible.

I don’t know what to make of the whole tale. Except to duct tape my tin foil hat on a little tighter and trust politicians, bureaucrats, …

… and the “media” a lot less. If that’s even possible!

TINFOILHAT: Is BHO44 a “paper man”?

Paper Man

*** begin quote ***

Although details are a bit hazy after forty years, in Paper Man, a small handful of college kids gets tired of eating dormitory food and yearns for the finer things in life. They decide they need a credit card, and invent what we would call a virtual person to apply for one. They use the campus mainframe’s primitive networking ability to give their creation—they call him “Henry Norman”—credentials: birth certificate, educational background, employment history, banking record, and so on. They receive their credit card and start to enjoy it.

Until they begin to die, one by one, apparently killed by Henry Norman.

*** and ***

So I suppose it’s altogether appropriate that Henry Norman has shown up again—as America’s first Paper President. Barack “Barry” Hussein Obama—or is it Soetoro?—is an individual whose personal history, from the very moment of his birth, is no more than a collage of contradictory lies and hidden truths that may never end up sorted out.

Where was he born? He and the entire progressive establishment claim it was Hawaii, but name two different hospitals, neither of which has records of it, as the location of the Blessed Event. One of his grandmothers says (or said—I think she’s conveniently dead now) that Barry was born in Kenya, and that she was right there when it happened.

Nobody can prove that his mother and his alleged father, a British subject, were ever married (some investigators believe Obama’s real father was Frank Marshall Davis, another old commie, who took naked pictures of Barack’s mommy), or had anything more, fundamentally, than a one-night stand, although it’s claimed that face-saving divorce papers were eventually filed, which Obama Senior ignored—he already had a wife back in the Old Country. We do know that little Barack’s step-father signed him into school as an Indonesian citizen and a Muslim.

What do we know about this man who thinks he owns us and that he can kill one of us at any time he likes, for any reason he cares to offer?

We certainly have no idea who he is. His famous birth certificate—legally a matter of public record—has been “sealed” away and may not be inspected or investigated. Even little baby Barack’s baptismal record has apparently become a matter of national security. Obama’s original signed, embossed paper “Certificate of Live Birth” is also hidden away, and the cybercopy offered in its place so incompetently forged it wouldn’t fool a three-year-old. We do know that he isn’t a front man for the FBI, the CIA, NSA, or Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Boy Scout Intelligence—their fakes would have passed muster.

We also have no idea what Obama is. Here’s an essentially penniless son of a penniless single mother whose mother and father (who raised the boy more than his mom did) didn’t have much money, either.

And yet the left wing money machine that I described in my speech “You Can’t Fight A Culture War If You Ain’t Got Any Culture” somehow came through and sent him to an expensive private school in Hawaii, then to Occidental College—those records are sealed—then to Columbia College—records also sealed along with Barack’s Master’s thesis—and then to Harvard College where his records are also sealed.

Obama apparently went to college (and paid tuition) as a foreign student, and used a foreign passport to visit Pakistan in 1981. His Selective Service records are sealed. His Social Security number— issued by a state he never lived in and actually belonging to a guy who’s dead—reeks of fraud. His medical records are sealed. For ten years he was carried as Kenyan-born by his literary agency. His Illinois State Senate schedule and Illinois State Senate records are sealed, as is his Law practice client list. For some unexplained reason he and his wife Michelle turned in their law licenses in Illinois.

He can’t make a coherent speech without a teleprompter.

I can’t help thinking of that movie Paper Man and coming to the bizarre but unavoidable conclusion that Obama is just a little nobody that his mentors—his creators—employed as a wire-frame to hang item after item of false credentials on, credentials so incompetently manufactured that they must now be kept hidden away to avoid expert scrutiny.

*** end quote ***

I think this raises the great issues that the brithers, proofers, and whateverers try to articulate. Before they get hooted down as tin foil hats.

I have no idea what BHO44 is or is not.

This is either the biggest hoax ever pulled OR one sloppy mess of random coincidences since the JFK assasination!

TINFOILHAT: Another assertion around JFK

Book claims JFK’s mistress was assassinated by the CIA ‘because she knew too much about his assassination’
By Daily Mail Reporter
PUBLISHED: 17:09 EST, 19 April 2012 | UPDATED: 09:11 EST, 20 April 2012

*** begin quote ***

The suspicious death of one of President John F. Kennedy’s mistresses just months after his death has sparked numerous conspiracy theories.

The latest version posits that socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer, a beautiful divorcee who was close friends with the Kennedys and is widely known for having a lengthy affair with the playboy President, was shot in a cover-up operation by the CIA.

A new book alleges that, in her preoccupation with her lover’s assassination and ensuing personal investigation, she may have gotten so close to the ‘truth’ that the CIA found her to be a threat.

As a result, agency operatives staged a shooting to make it look like she died due to a sexual assault that turned violent.

Whether or not the theory is true, there are a number of questionable components to the story of the months leading up to her death on October 12, 1964.

*** and ***

He goes on to say that she was later murdered by the CIA, who he believes organized the assassination of the President in an effort to stop him from preventing violent escalation that they wanted in the Cold War.

*** end quote ***

 

This has all the earmarks of a good tin foil hat story.

But there’s just nothing to hang your hat on.

The assertion that the JFK assassination was to prevent him from going on a tear for “peace” has been repeated many times.

The assertion that the CIA is part of a shadow government again many times.

The mistresses, many times.

What’s interesting in this tale is the absence of a suspect. The connection to JFK. And, timing.

Did she get too close?

Maybe.

But this side of the Pearly Gates we will never know.

Baring a break through, I’d say that the evidence supposrts an assertion that we don’t know the real story.

Just on that basis alone, that’s enough to shut down the CIA.

Why do we have it?

Another vestige of the Cold War. And why I believe the word is a dangerous place, I’m not sure that the CIA makes it any safer. Too many rogue “elephants” tromping around.

John F. Kennedy the lecherous lover at odds with Camelot image — New book destroys the Camelot fantasy for me

*** begin quote ***

The latest memoir by a former lover makes me think twice about John F.Kennedy.

Mimi Alford’s account of her sexual dalliance with President Kennedy when she was a White House intern cannot be refuted by the late president but I have to say it rings true.

She was just 19-years-old when Kennedy, then 45, took her aside and to his wife’s bedroom where he ended her virginity.

There was worse to come. Perhaps the most damning part of the book is when Kennedy gets the very young woman to ‘service’ his White House aide Dave Powers while Kennedy looks on.

It is pretty disgusting stuff and while we all knew Kennedy was a roué, the direct evidence like this makes it a lot less appealing than the glamorous Marilyn Monroe alleged affair.

*** end quote ***

It seems like politicians have a tendency to be lying pigs.

JFK was supposedly the “first Roman Catholic President”. Acclaimed by all the Priests, Nuns, and Brothers in my schools, he was the single Greatest exemplar of Catholicism in my lifetime.

And, like most humans place on some pedestal or other by some one or some group, he’s found wanting.

It’s sad really, that leaders have so little character.

TINFOILHAT: If Oswald was “Doorway Man”, then who did the shooting?

Posted by Jim FetzerJFK Special: Oswald was in the Doorway, after all!
by Dr. Ralph Cinque and Jim Fetzer

*** begin quote ***

The Demise of the “Lone Nut” Theory

In conclusion, even though a lot of manipulation went into transforming Oswald into Lovelady, it didn’t work. We can still tell that it’s him, Oswald–and I would bet my life on it. The preponderance of the evidence is overwhelming, and the meager challenges to it are riddled with suspicion and doubt. The worst thing that ever happened to the JFK research community was relinquishing Doorway Man.

We need to take him back. We need to add the Altgens photo to the list of physical evidence that the conspirators altered and corrupted. We need to shout from the rooftops that Oswald could not have killed Kennedy because he was standing outside in front of the building at the time. This settles it. This ends it. This is checkmate for THE WARREN REPORT (1964).

The cover-up of the murder of President Kennedy, by our government and our media, has been going on for 48 years, and it must stop. It has been poisoning us as a people, that is, our society and our culture. To heal, to recover, and to start anew, we need to know the truth.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, I know who cares. “We, The Sheeple” want to watch reality shows.

But, just suppose for a moment, that this is true. Wow! The implications are stunning. We really do live in a society manipulated by a powerful elite. Like the French peasants, the Russian Serfs, Pharaoh’s slaves, it the same way today.

It’s apparent that the Warren Report was a whitewash and the truth is still unknown.

When do The People rise up and throw off their chains?

If ever.

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters
by Edward Curtin

*** begin quote ***

He (James Douglass) says it best: “The extent to which our national security state was systematically marshaled for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains incomprehensible to us. When we live in a system, we absorb and think in a system. We lack the independence needed to judge the system around us. Yet the evidence we have seen points toward our national security state, the systemic bubble in which we all live, as the source of Kennedy’s murder and immediate cover-up.”

This tale is stunning. I have no idea what the truth is, but the “official story” is “barbara streisand”!

TINFOILHAT: Thinking about TFHs and the Kennedy Assasination

The TFH (tin foil hat) category of this blog presents dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) based in part on theory, observation, experience, and conjecture. While this is not a court of law, I defer to the great American Jurist, Judge Judy, “if doesn’t make sense, it’s not true”. The purpose here is to suggest some possible explanations, but not necessarily the only ones, to the phenomena we observe. Theory and conjecture should always welcome and encouraged. Of course, the best evidence is a repeatable experiment that the reader can perform to authenticate findings of fact. All else is not as good. But, unfortunately, life requires us to move forward on incomplete, inaccurate, and inconclusive information. But we tread lightly where we are unsure.

So why isn’t the Kennedy Assassination kill shot reproducible? A crappy rifle, an angle, an elevation, a moving target, and wind? Judge judy should examine this case. It doesn’t make sense.

The new book on the assassination of John F. Kennedy by Clint Hill, the secret service agent closest to him on the day, also focuses attention on another member of that service detail the driver of JFK’s car that day, William Greer, a native of Tyrone, Ireland.

Greer’s actions that day remain controversial, so much so that some crazed conspiracy buffs have claimed that he was the one to shoot Kennedy because he was an Ulster Protestant who disliked Kennedy’s Catholic faith — a fact his son admitted to.

It’s hard not to have a tin foil hat when you read these “pages” that blow the lid. To me, even as a kid, that crappy gun that Oswald purportedly used was prima facie evidence that the story didn’t wash. Now that I know even more about guns, it’d have to be a miracle.
