• National Debt

    From Tom Kunich@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 24 22:34:55 2024
    The US national debt was out of control because no one cared about it.
    Well, the Nation Debt per capita is about the same as it was after WW II.
    So with someone in the White House that WANTS to pay it off, he can use extraordinary means by closing down large sections of government that have
    been spending money like it was water. The CIA for instance used to be an organization that gathered intelligence that showed threats to the USA.
    Then it became captured by the Military-Industrial complex and started
    every war since Korea.

    It took more than a decade after the war until the American economy began working again. While that could very well be the case now, by closing down
    most of the government EXCEPT that elected and needed, we could shorten
    that up. We also have to design a means of deflating the dollar so that
    things can get back to the point where a penny is still a piece of
    currency and not some forgotten piece of past history.

    It appears that Elon Musk wants to tie the dollar not to itself but to bit
    coin currency. I don't like that idea. The dollar should remain the
    currency of last resort and the Secret Service whose job it is to protect
    the dollar against counterfeiting do have means to do so. China has been pumping out counterfeit $100 bills for so long that they think that they
    are an extension of the Federal Reserve.

    Colnago just released a STEEL bike and are going to charge $18,000 for it.
    Even with a Campagnolo Super Record wireless group on it that is
    preposterous and we need to get the value of the dollar back under control.

    I find that a very interesting statement. Please provide some more information on how the CIA started the Vietnam war.


    Woodrow Wilson, a flagrant racist, refused to meet with Ho
    Chi Minh at Versailles in 1919 about decolonizing French
    Indochina.

    The CIA was formed to replace OSS in 1947, 28 years after
    the die was cast.

    Woodrow Wilson, a flagrant racist, refused to meet with Ho
    Chi Minh at Versailles in 1919 about decolonizing French
    Indochina.

    Are you sure of your data?

    I ask as in 1919 Ho was a 29 year old "no body", a member of the
    Groupe des Patriotes Annamites (The Group of Vietnamese Patriots) and,
    The group petitioned for recognition of the civil rights of the
    Vietnamese people in French Indochina to the Western powers at the
    Versailles peace talks, but they were ignored.
    Citing the principle of self-determination outlined before the peace accords, they requested the allied powers to end French colonial rule
    of Vietnam and ensure the formation of an independent government.

    Before the conference, the group sent their letter to allied leaders, including French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and United States President Woodrow Wilson. They were unable to obtain consideration at Versailles,

    That's from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh#Political_education_in_France

    The CIA was formed to replace OSS in 1947, 28 years after
    the die was cast.

    In April 1945, he met with the OSS agent Archimedes Patti and offered
    to provide intelligence, asking only for "a line of communication"
    between his Viet Minh and the Allies. The OSS agreed to this and later
    sent a military team of OSS members to train his men.The OSS team
    arrived in Vietnam on or about May 1945 and departed Vietnam in
    September 1945.

    That's from https://historydraft.com/story/ho-chi-minh/ho-met-with-the-oss-agent-archimedes-patti/415/5730

    The Geneva Accords in 1954 partitioned the country temporarily in two
    with a promise of democratic elections in 1956 to reunite the country.

    That's from several sources: https://dbpedia.org/page/History_of_Vietnam_(1945%E2%80%93present)


    The United States and South Vietnam insisted on United Nations
    supervision of any election to prevent fraud, which the Soviet Union
    and North Vietnam refused. North and South Vietnam therefore remained
    divided until the Vietnam War ended with the Fall of Saigon in 1975.

    and this is from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Vietnam_(1945-present)

    It's poor form to cut-n-paste without attribution, john, even in usenet.

    And nothing quoted or cited implicates the CIA in 'starting

    many allies might best be written 'wars'.

    Thank you.

    I once typed a college paper for my youngest brother from
    his handwritten draft. I cleaned up the punctuation and
    grammar along the way. He was graded F with the comment,
    "This is not your work."

    Woodrow Wilson, a flagrant racist, refused to meet
    with Ho
    Chi Minh at Versailles in 1919 about decolonizing French
    Indochina.

    Are you sure of your data?

    I ask as in 1919 Ho was a 29 year old "no body", a
    member of the
    Groupe des Patriotes Annamites (The Group of
    Vietnamese Patriots) and,
    The group petitioned for recognition of the civil
    rights of the
    Vietnamese people in French Indochina to the Western
    powers at the
    Versailles peace talks, but they were ignored.
       Citing the principle of self-determination outlined
    before the peace
    accords, they requested the allied powers to end
    French colonial rule
    of Vietnam and ensure the formation of an independent
    government.

    Before the conference, the group sent their letter to
    allied leaders,
    including French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and
    United States
    President Woodrow Wilson. They were unable to obtain
    consideration at
    Versailles,

    The CIA was formed to replace OSS in 1947, 28 years
    after
    the die was cast.

    In April 1945, he met with the OSS agent Archimedes
    Patti and offered
    to provide intelligence, asking only for "a line of
    communication"
    between his Viet Minh and the Allies. The OSS agreed
    to this and later
    sent a military team of OSS members to train his
    men.The OSS team
    arrived in Vietnam on or about May 1945 and departed
    Vietnam in
    September 1945.

    The Geneva Accords in 1954 partitioned the country
    temporarily in two
    with a promise of democratic elections in 1956 to
    reunite the country.

    That's from several sources:
    https://dbpedia.org/page/
    History_of_Vietnam_(1945%E2%80%93present)


    The United States and South Vietnam insisted on United
    Nations
    supervision of any election to prevent fraud, which
    the Soviet Union
    and North Vietnam refused. North and South Vietnam
    therefore remained
    divided until the Vietnam War ended with the Fall of
    Saigon in 1975.

    Be that as it is, John at least has an unanswered question.

    "Please provide some more information on how the CIA started the Vietnam

    As much as Wilson was in fact a flagrant rascist, that didn't have much
    of anything to do with the US first involvement in Vietnam more than 40
    years later, let alone with whether the CIA actually started the war.

    many allies might best be written 'wars'.

    It was very well known that the communist forces of Ho Chi Minh backed by the Soviet Union were pretty much unbeatable because South Vietnam didn't care what government they were under as long as they had peace. Because of this, JFK was advised to
    replace Eisenhower's military advisors with actual troops by the CIA. When JFK discovered that he had been lied to he decided to pull out and the CIA assassinated him. Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA sniper and there was no possibility of Jack Ruby being
    armed in a police station where they were moving Oswald. Ruby would not have then hung himself in his cell.

    Johnson was not very smart but was willing to expand the war. Nixon knew all was lost but he used B52's to obtain a treaty to save face. The CIA was working for the military-industrial complex and not for America ever since. They got even with Nixon
    for ending a war that was making the elite richer still.

    That's all highly revisionist and doesn't match actual
    history very well.

    Woodrow Wilson, a flagrant racist, refused to meet with Ho
    Chi Minh at Versailles in 1919 about decolonizing French
    Indochina.

    Are you sure of your data?

    I ask as in 1919 Ho was a 29 year old "no body", a member
    of the
    Groupe des Patriotes Annamites (The Group of Vietnamese
    Patriots) and,
    The group petitioned for recognition of the civil rights
    of the
    Vietnamese people in French Indochina to the Western
    powers at the
    Versailles peace talks, but they were ignored.
      Citing the principle of self-determination outlined
    before the peace
    accords, they requested the allied powers to end French
    colonial rule
    of Vietnam and ensure the formation of an independent
    government.

    Before the conference, the group sent their letter to
    allied leaders,
    including French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and
    United States
    President Woodrow Wilson. They were unable to obtain
    consideration at
    Versailles,

    The CIA was formed to replace OSS in 1947, 28 years after
    the die was cast.

    In April 1945, he met with the OSS agent Archimedes Patti
    and offered
    to provide intelligence, asking only for "a line of
    communication"
    between his Viet Minh and the Allies. The OSS agreed to
    this and later
    sent a military team of OSS members to train his men.The
    OSS team
    arrived in Vietnam on or about May 1945 and departed

    September 1945.

    The Geneva Accords in 1954 partitioned the country
    temporarily in two
    with a promise of democratic elections in 1956 to reunite
    the country.

    That's from several sources:

    The United States and South Vietnam insisted on United

    and North Vietnam refused. North and South Vietnam

    It's poor form to cut-n-paste without attribution, john,

    It was very well known that the communist forces of Ho Chi Minh backed
    by the Soviet Union were pretty much unbeatable because South Vietnam
    didn't care what government they were under as long as they had peace.
    Because of this, JFK was advised to replace Eisenhower's military
    advisors with actual troops by the CIA. When JFK discovered that he
    had been lied to he decided to pull out and the CIA assassinated him.
    Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA sniper and there was no possibility of
    Jack Ruby being armed in a police station where they were moving
    Oswald. Ruby would not have then hung himself in his cell.

    Johnson was not very smart but was willing to expand the war. Nixon
    knew all was lost but he used B52's to obtain a treaty to save face.
    The CIA was working for the military-industrial complex and not for
    America ever since. They got even with Nixon for ending a war that was
    making the elite richer still.

    That's all highly revisionist and doesn't match actual history very well.

    That was incredibly polite and charitable of you, Andrew

    In April 1945, he met with the OSS agent Archimedes Patti

    For people that program in C a description of what is occurring is normal and you can't even understand that.

    No matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become true. I responded to your request about what the program was doing when you asked.

    And your programming is so good that you don't know that it wasn't describing the "archetecture" but what was occuring with THAT instruction.

    The comments described the architecture, tommy. It listed the devices
    used. This is how I knew the design used a peripheral A/D instead of the
    one integrated into the microcontroller. It was a question you couldn't
    answer, because you didn't really write the code. If you had written the
    code, you would have remembered listing the devices used and would have
    been able to ask the question about why the peripheral device was used
    instead of the integrated device. You were so dumbfounded by my question
    you even denied the devices were listed in the comments.

    I'm sure that you can show yourself even more absurd with your next comment.

    No more than how you keep thinking your fooling anyone into believing
    you can do more than change a battery in a remote.

    Yes he still had his notes.

    Hopefully he got it reviewed and passed.
    I should mention, having given failing grades for similar offenses, I
    certainly would have reconsidered if given evidence. My office door was
    always open to students.

    The occasional problem was two students handing in identical work. My

    Frank, the subject is the national debt and the doubtless belt tightening to come. The end of next month, all of my bills including property taxes and DMV renewal will be paid off. I now have bought a new Shimano Ultrgra crankset6

    No, you didn't, you bought a used one off ebay like you always do.

    to replace the FSA crqnk you accused me of improper instalation despite your knowing absolutely noyhing about them.

    A properly installed crank arm doesn't fall off, even of the most cheap
    chinese quality. You fucked up, because you're a fuck -up.

    You have a habit of speaking from positions of ignorance and I would suggest you correct that before posting your Jobst wannabe comments.

    and more irony meters explode all over the internet.


    There are plenty of places where you input might be desireable but since you seem to be lacking any knowledge of finnces, almost entirely lacking from the Democrat mindset, the National Debt is not one of them.

    Instead, we can listen to Flunky telling us that Janet Yellen was completely correct

    I did? Where did I write that?

    depite her appollogizing to the nqation for being completely wrong and being complecit in running the National Debt up to n4early unmanagable levels. When finally faced with reality, Yellen relented whereas Flunky maintains his lies.

    oh, you mean lies like going from living off social security to making
    $12K a month off your investments?

    When it comes to lies in this forum, you're the king, tommy.

    Tom. You lie (again). There is no way your "failing" crank arm would
    have fallen off without you noticing the loose crank. The crank would initially have wiggled around on the spines and made ominous noises. Eventually, the crank would have leaned inward and started banging
    against the chain stays. The crank would have remained attached to
    the bottom bracket on the right side by 4 screws and on the left side
    by either a center bolt, a compression clamp, or both. I also have
    problems visualizing how the high end expensive groupos you claim to
    be using could have had a machining error larger than a few
    thousandths.

    What I find entertaining is why you repeatedly refer to this crank
    falling off incident, which is obviously fake, even to a casual
    observer. The reason is simple. Your goal in RBT to establish
    yourself as an expert in literally everything. In order to do that,
    you must receive credit for all your amazing facts and information. No corroboration is required but the facts and info must come from you as
    the sole source of knowledge. You can't tolerate having someone else
    take any credit for your amazing facts. Even recycling advice from
    known authorities, is not allowed. Your problem is that you can't be contradicted, criticized or proven incorrect. Your solution is to
    repeat your amazing facts, bogus information, recycled right rubbish
    from dubious source, and outright lies manufactured for the occasion,
    over and over and over again, in the vain hope that someone will
    believe them. The world doesn't work that way. Most people are
    sufficiently experienced with critical thinking to recognize your lies
    the first time. Repetition only makes it worse.

    Have a nice Thanksgiving. However, if you continue to drink booze,
    there's nothing anyone can do to prevent you have having a lousy
    Thanksgiving.

    Roger, the reason that FSA gives you an absolute torque limit isn't because you may break the steel shaft but becase to compensate for the crank arm machining limits.

    lol...yeah...that's why.

    I bought a "like new" crankset cheap because the nonedrive side was out of tolerance.

    So, as usual, you bought used ebay shit, and it failed due to an
    inherent design flaw...got it.

    That never occurred to me because I never had a mechanism that would come loose because it was tightened too much.

    It came loose because you fucked up. Period.

    Remember when Tom's handlebars were so loose they kept slipping? And his
    seatpost? He seems to have some consistent problems.

    I think Tom should use red Loctite on everything he installs on a bike.
    And for carbon fiber parts, use epoxy. Then his bike's parts may stay
    attached.

    - Frank Krygowski




    Why do you have a selective memory? My handlebars didn't "slip"

    yiu wrote repeatedly that you were unable to prevent them from slipping,
    and even made up some story about your local shop mechanic being unable
    to keep them from slipping.

    They were a test of carbon fiber handlebars which showed me that carbon fiber is a poor material out of which to make normal mandlkebars as demonstrated by the fact that all of the modern carbon fiber bikes use one piece stem/handlebars to prevent that
    problem.

    No, tommy, that isn't why they are making them out of one piece. The
    fact that virtually all professional teams were using carbon bars and
    stems before the one-piece designs became vogue is a clear indication of
    how well the design worked when you didn't have an idiot like you for a mechanic.


    As for the seat post slipping, I was interrupted when installing the seat post and forgot to tighten it before testing the bike.

    So? you still had to post the issue in this forum and blame it on a bad
    design

    That was the only occassion and it wouldn't happen to you because the sear post hasn't been out of your bike since you bought the bike preassembled.

    You've had several seatpost issues


    You can easily tell the level of mechanical ability on this so-called "technical" group by the fact that I have offered to GIVE expensive new components to people here and none accepted because they don't know how to install them.

    a) you've never offered to give anyone anything here.
    2) even if you did, the reason no one would have taken it is that they
    in fact know how to install such things, and they know what your tryng
    to give them was second-hand shit you bought off ebay and it was likely defective.

    John, you were there according to you. Eisenhowor under the pressure of a treaty with France supplied military advisors to French IndoChina.
    (Vietnam). With the election of JFK the CIA convinced him that the future
    of democracy depended on the protection of South Vietnam from the
    communist north. Firstly the south Vietnamese couldn't care less what
    their government was because neither side offered the average man anything
    ans secondly because the north was by no means a Chinese style
    revolutionary communism. You can't take from your citizens what they don't have.

    But under the CIA pressure to save the world JFK put thousands of active
    army into that dump. He finally saw the truth and had decided to simply
    leave Vietnam to its own devices and before he could announce it, Lee
    Harvey Oswald, a CIA sniper assasine shot JFK dead. There was another
    gunman on the grassi knoll who also shot Kennedy from the front and
    everyone denied that the slinging of JFK backwards and nearly over the
    rear seat was because of a shot from the front. They had evenj assigned
    rookey SS agents to JFK so they froze rather than cover JFK.

    The Warren Commision was one of the biggest coverups in history that
    explaned none of the real questions like; what did Oswald mean when he
    shouted to reporters that he was "set up" or how the hell that Jack Ruby
    ended up in the basement of the police department armed.

    Johnson was certainly not going to be assassinated so he muliplied the
    number of troops in south Vietnam casualties be damned. Nixon forced north Vietnam into signing a treaty that both sides ignored but gave us a chance
    to get out of Vietnam. The Gulf War was supposedly because Iraq was manufacturing bio warfare weapons. There was never any proof of that found
    and the supposed labs were more for looking for it being used against
    them. Poison gas stores were found but old and deserted and WE have poison
    gas stores just in case also.

    The CIA knew about the plans for 911 and told no one. It was just as easy
    to manipulte the Taliban as anyone else. The video's of the pipe bombs
    being set before the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters shows
    total unconcern by the Secret Service and DC police which shows that the
    plan was to blame Trump extremists but it was too little and too late.
    Instead they used January 6th as an "insurrection".

    There is so much hard evidence of the public being manipulated into wars
    by the CIA that I find it difficult to believe that everyone doesn't see
    it.

    Doesn't it strike you as strange that Ruby "killed himself" in his cell
    like Epstein did? That while there was no cameras on Ruby, that for
    cameras on Epstein were either not working or were accidentally moved to
    point in the wrong direction? That the gaurds missed their usual check on
    him?

    Hey Tommy! Jack Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967,
    at Parkland Hospital,

    His conviction had been overturned and he had been granted a re-trial.


    You mean tommy lied about something?

    The single arbiter of all that is right, pure, and true in forum forum
    has told a mis-truth?!?!?!

    Hey Tommy! Jack Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967,
    at Parkland Hospital,

    His conviction had been overturned and he had been granted a re-trial.


    You mean tommy lied about something?

    The single arbiter of all that is right, pure, and true in forum forum
    has told a mis-truth?!?!?!

    SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!


    I truly believe that Tommy is either one of the more stupid people to
    inhabit the world or is a psychopathic liar.


    It's both.

    I'm still waiting for him to explain how he went from living on social
    security in 2013 to making $12000 a month off his investments without
    having an income source _other_ than social security.

    Then there was that tall tale of how he was a "senior business manager/cosultant" or some other such horseshit while allegedly saving
    the world by designing emergency-room medical electronics (but never had
    to deal with the FDA).

    The list goes on, and on....Wait, how did Jack Ruby die again?

    lol...

    Woodrow Wilson, a flagrant racist, refused to meet with Ho Chi Minh at
    Versailles in 1919 about decolonizing French Indochina.

    Are you sure of your data?

    I ask as in 1919 Ho was a 29 year old "no body", a member of the Groupe
    des Patriotes Annamites (The Group of Vietnamese Patriots) and,
    The group petitioned for recognition of the civil rights of the
    Vietnamese people in French Indochina to the Western powers at the
    Versailles peace talks, but they were ignored.
    Citing the principle of self-determination outlined before the peace
    accords, they requested the allied powers to end French colonial rule
    of Vietnam and ensure the formation of an independent government.

    Before the conference, the group sent their letter to allied leaders,
    including French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau and United States
    President Woodrow Wilson. They were unable to obtain consideration at
    Versailles,

    That's from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh#Political_education_in_France

    The CIA was formed to replace OSS in 1947, 28 years after the die was
    cast.

    In April 1945, he met with the OSS agent Archimedes Patti and offered
    to provide intelligence, asking only for "a line of communication"
    between his Viet Minh and the Allies. The OSS agreed to this and later
    sent a military team of OSS members to train his men.The OSS team
    arrived in Vietnam on or about May 1945 and departed Vietnam in
    September 1945.

    The Geneva Accords in 1954 partitioned the country temporarily in two
    with a promise of democratic elections in 1956 to reunite the country.

    The United States and South Vietnam insisted on United Nations
    supervision of any election to prevent fraud, which the Soviet Union

    divided until the Vietnam War ended with the Fall of Saigon in 1975.

    Tom, it's not as bad as your spelling. A spelling checker would solve
    that problem. It mostly worked for me where my spelling is as bad or
    worse than yours. However, you haven't even tried to use a spelling
    checker. I've mentioned your spelling problem several times but
    you've consistently ignored the problem. I'm now wondering if
    something is preventing you from using a spelling checker. Do you
    have some kind of vision problem that makes reading an LCD screen
    difficult?

    Where they find out about it is irrelevant, as long as they can back it
    up with a reference, and even better when they can rationally discuss
    and give a defensible position.

    That's how I do it. First party information is generally useless.
    That's where someone proclaims that something is true without any substantiation, corroboration or sources. Second party information is
    where someone else was involved in whatever information is being
    provided. However, it's only a single point of agreement and is
    easily faked by echo chambers, true believers and party line
    followers. Third party, where someone who is NOT involved in the
    generation of the original information, does some research on the
    topic, and usually provides a large number of references and links to
    research on the topic.

    I often go a step further and try to track down the original sources.
    It's quite common to have the press or those with a political agenda,
    misquote (or butcher) the original into something that was not
    intended.

    John may not have given an attribution, but at least he wasn't pulling
    weird "facts" out of his ass.

    I'm a little irritated when someone cut-n-pastes some information,
    quotes the content verbatim, but fails to provide a link to where the
    content was found. If you know the source, please spend a few extra milliseconds to include it with cut-n-paste content.

    Yes, I did, but only after I wrote the above reply. I've been very
    busy for the last 2 weeks and don't have much time for RBT. I read
    what I can but I can't read everything. I read (or mark as read)
    about 30 articles per day, but am currently about 300 articles behind.
    Tom's article at:
    Message-ID: <vilc9d$3j222$1@dont-email.me>
    looks like the typical conspiracy theory rants, where everyone who
    might have been even remotely involved, is reclassified as an active conspirator. For example, this masterpiece of connect the dots from a
    local attorney:
    "UCSC 2013: JFK Assassination" <https://www.danielpsheehan.com/ucsc-2013-jfk-assassination/>
    I didn't attend any of his lectures, but some of my friends did, who
    then tried to convince me that with so many conspiracy theories, some
    of them must be true. I did my best to be diplomatic.

    I tried to determine if Tom actually wrote what he posted or if he
    borrowed it from somewhere. I cut-n-pasted Tom's article into: <https://www.online-spellcheck.com>
    which found the spelling to be 97% correct for all types of errors
    with only 15 spelling errors in 496 words. The percentage of
    spelling, typo and grammar errors seem about the same as Tom's other
    RBT postings. Inconclusive.

    I don't have an opinion on the content of Tom's posting. Without
    sources and substantiating evidence, it's worthless to me. It's also
    too much trouble to investigate all the connections mentioned. It's a
    good example of too much information being used the discourage anyone

    At some point (and I reached it long ago) the mismatch
    between Warren Report conclusions and actual evidence leads
    one to just accept that the truth will probably never be known.

    A few of the many incongruities: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66792977

    Which does not 'prove' a CIA hit or anything else. They're
    just incongruities.

    John, you were there according to you. Eisenhowor under the pressure of a >>> treaty with France supplied military advisors to French IndoChina.
    (Vietnam).

    The U.S. supplied a bit more then "Advisors". they supplied Bombers -
    maybe B-26? - with U.S. maintenance people (don't know about flight
    crew) as when I went to Japan the first time in about 1953 the guy in
    the next seat was going to "French Indo-China" and there was a long
    discussion about where that was.
    Interestingly I ran into the guy about a year later when he was going
    back to the U.S. The first time I heard the word "Vietnam".


    With the election of JFK the CIA convinced him that the future
    of democracy depended on the protection of South Vietnam from the
    communist north.

    I don't believe you are correct as: President Harry S. Truman declared
    his doctrine of "containment" of communism in 1947 at the start of the
    Cold War. U.S. involvement in Vietnam began in 1950, with Truman
    sending military advisors to assist France against Viet Minh
    guerrillas in the First Indochina War.

    Firstly the south Vietnamese couldn't care less what
    their government was because neither side offered the average man anything >>> ans secondly because the north was by no means a Chinese style
    revolutionary communism. You can't take from your citizens what they don't >>> have.

    But under the CIA pressure to save the world JFK put thousands of active >>> army into that dump. He finally saw the truth and had decided to simply
    leave Vietnam to its own devices and before he could announce it, Lee
    Harvey Oswald, a CIA sniper assasine shot JFK dead. There was another
    gunman on the grassi knoll who also shot Kennedy from the front and
    everyone denied that the slinging of JFK backwards and nearly over the
    rear seat was because of a shot from the front. They had evenj assigned
    rookey SS agents to JFK so they froze rather than cover JFK.

    You seem to be getting away from the Vietnam subject but O.K.

    Re JFK:
    The choice of autopsy hospital in the Washington, D.C. area was made
    by his widow, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who chose the Bethesda as
    President Kennedy had been a naval officer during World War II.
    The autopsy was conducted by two physicians, Commander James Humes and
    Commander J. Thornton Boswell. They were assisted by ballistics wound
    expert Pierre Finck of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

    The autopsy found that Kennedy was hit by two bullets. One entered his
    upper back and exited below his neck, albeit obscured by a
    tracheotomy. The other bullet struck Kennedy in the back of his head
    and exited the front of his skull in a large exit wound. The
    trajectory of the latter bullet was marked by bullet fragments
    throughout his brain. The former bullet was not found during the
    autopsy, but was discovered at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

    The Warren Commision was one of the biggest coverups in history that
    explaned none of the real questions like; what did Oswald mean when he
    shouted to reporters that he was "set up" or how the hell that Jack Ruby >>> ended up in the basement of the police department armed.


    Enough. You keep changing the subject and two in one post is enough.

    Cheers,

    Exactly why are you bringing up Truman when Eisenhower was elected almost unanimously and warned the entire world about the American military-industrial complex and Kennedy was eloected with that in mind? It took a great deal of work for the CIA to
    convince Kennedy that he should engage the American people in yet another war at a time when we hadn't even paid the bills for WW II. You can believe anything you like but reality seems to bypass your thought processes.

    No one is perfect. And Presidents decide in the moment, with
    incomplete information, among unpleasant alternatives.


    Mr Eisenhower refused air support at Dien Bien Phu 1954,
    support of British and French at the Suez 1956, to Tibet
    against CCP in 1956 and Battista in July 1959. Some might
    say 'coulda woulda shoulda' but it's all conjecture.

    He made broad use of CIA:
    https://proquest.libguides.com/dnsa/58

    Which Mr Kennedy intended to curtail with his new Navy Seals
    (same idea, different command structure). I know (and knew)
    Seals in Viet Nam early on (1964-5-6) who say it was a joint
    CIA-Seal operation with much conflict between the two;
    policy, strategy, tactics, operations.

    SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!


    I truly believe that Tommy is either one of the more stupid people to
    inhabit the world or is a psychopathic liar.


    It's both.

    I'm still waiting for him to explain how he went from living on social security in 2013 to making $12000 a month off his investments without
    having an income source _other_ than social security.

    Then there was that tall tale of how he was a "senior business manager/cosultant" or some other such horseshit while allegedly saving
    the world by designing emergency-room medical electronics (but never had
    to deal with the FDA).

    The list goes on, and on....Wait, how did Jack Ruby die again?

    lol...

    I presently have over a million dollars in investments. With the election
    of Trump the S$P gained 5.5%. If you can add and subtract perhaps you can explain to me how much my investments which are largely S&P gained?


    Or did this frazzle your brain too much for you to figure out? You can
    always pull your usual cry that I'm living on Social Security which is
    mostly true since I own my own home and cook for myself and my wife so SS
    is more or less adequate to pay my bills. Including my dental work, my medication and buying and operating my poor old 15 year old car that gets
    35 mpg on the open road. Gee I'm even making 19 mpg in the city. Your transportation probably uses friction shifters.

    Our GNP increased more than the US this year, thanks to our Center-leaning President. (you'd probably call him a communist because

    the far right still controls the Central Bank, Congress and the

    Hey Tommy! Jack Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967, >>>>> at Parkland Hospital,

    His conviction had been overturned and he had been granted a
    re-trial.


    You mean tommy lied about something?

    The single arbiter of all that is right, pure, and true in forum forum >>>> has told a mis-truth?!?!?!

    SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!


    I truly believe that Tommy is either one of the more stupid people to
    inhabit the world or is a psychopathic liar.


    It's both.

    I'm still waiting for him to explain how he went from living on social
    security in 2013 to making $12000 a month off his investments without
    having an income source _other_ than social security.

    Then there was that tall tale of how he was a "senior business
    manager/cosultant" or some other such horseshit while allegedly saving
    the world by designing emergency-room medical electronics (but never had
    to deal with the FDA).

    The list goes on, and on....Wait, how did Jack Ruby die again?

    lol...

    I presently have over a million dollars in investments.

    No, you don't

    With the election
    of Trump the S$P gained 5.5%. If you can add and subtract perhaps you can explain to me how much my investments which are largely S&P gained?

    Or did this frazzle your brain too much for you to figure out?

    Sure. it's 0%. You don't have any investments.

    You can
    always pull your usual cry that I'm living on Social Security which is
    mostly true since I own my own home and cook for myself and my wife so SS
    is more or less adequate to pay my bills. Including my dental work, my medication and buying and operating my poor old 15 year old car that gets
    35 mpg on the open road. Gee I'm even making 19 mpg in the city. Your transportation probably uses friction shifters.

    lol..no one believes you have a 15 year old american car that gets 35
    mpg highway.

    even if the stories of you owning your house are true, why dont' you
    ever take a nice vacation? Gee making $12000 a month with no expenses?
    what kind of cheap little prick are you?

    Where they find out about it is irrelevant, as long as they can back it
    up with a reference, and even better when they can rationally discuss

    John may not have given an attribution, but at least he wasn't pulling
    weird "facts" out of his ass.

    We already know that you are a thief of your employers money and that is why you will not use youe own name of that of your employer

    No, I don't mention my employer because I know you're a loathsome piece
    of shit who would start harassing them.


    Anythinjg you have to say is oompletely irrelevant because you actually know nothing at all about anything.

    I know you have yet to be right about much of anything.

    You most certainly don't know your own job because you take credit for the work of others.

    Yup. that's how I've managed to keep my job for ten years in a company
    with 80 people, the vast majority of whom have been there for several
    decades. I'm sure they have managed to sustain a company that's been
    around since the 1930's by being completely ignorant of who is actually working.

    It's no wonder you never held a job for more than a year.
