Octafish to attend JFK assassination conference. Do you think JFK still matters?
Thanks for the kind words about them, KoKo. You and DU mean the world to me. For good DUers, this place is a Truth Machine.
I almost didn't report on the conference. One DUer wondered if I had gotten any funding from DUers to go. I couldn't ask when so many are in real need. I scrapped what little credit I have remaining and made the run to Pittsburgh.
There, I was immediately reminded why it's important to be there and share what I learned -- especially with DUers, Democrats everywhere, and ALL Americans who care about justice -- for JFK and for the nation. For instance: Here's an FBI document from Deke DeLoach to Clyde Tolson that, for some reason, never got brought to the country's attention by the national press corps in all its recent reporting on the recent 50th anniversary of the assassination.
The memo is from 1967, the time Jim Garrison -- the only government official to prosecute anyone in connection with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy -- was trying to make his case without all the new information that's been learned since then. The document was classified until released in the 1990s. In it, President Lyndon B Johnson was reported to have said he agreed with Garrison that there was a conspiracy and that the CIA had something to do with it (note last paragraph):

I would think this, too, would be on the front page and leading the newscasts every day until the surviving traitors, warmongers and banksters who've benefited were imprisoned. However, we are told to "Move on" and it's business as usual, meaning the rich get richer, our rights continue to vanish, and democracy falls victim to wars without end. But, if enough people realize What's What, Who's Who and What's at Stake for their futures, we've got a real chance for change.
From what I know and have learned: The best is yet to come, KoKo. Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year to You and Yours!
