Happy 100th birthday, John F. Kennedy - CBS News

 

 

 

I was sitting in Mr. Durrel’s fifth-grade class, the row of desks nearest the wall of windows, my back to the windows as Mr. Durrel was in mid-sentence the principal of Edith Whitney Elementary School walked into our classroom.

He was pale, shaken, and all he said was, “The president has been shot.”

The room went quiet.

Within minutes every classroom had filed into the gymnasium and we all took our seats on the shiny well polished wooden floor, as the custodian and Mr. Brady, the principal had set up a couple of the black & white televisions on rolling racks the school had, tuned into the day’s event.

I watched, along with every other person in that cavernous room a day of history forever etched in my memory. An impact event.

I have no recollection of timespans, but it wasn’t long after being assembled in the gymnasium that school buses were pulling up outside to load up students to take them home, and many of the mothers were lined up in station wagons and their automobiles to gather their children to take them to the safety of home.

For the next three days, almost everyone in America was glued to their TVs as at no other time in history.

It was the most impactful event many had experienced.

There was, I believe from ABC News, when there was actual, factual REAL news and journalism still found in America on broadcast news, a reporter at an army base and he had with him one of the best rifemen in the U.S. Army with him. The marksman was holding an exact model of the rifle Oswald supposedly used to get three rapid shots off from the Dallas book depository.

The rifle was one the Italian infantry used, a Carcano Model 38 — 6.5x52mm bolt action rifle. The reporter asked this U.S. Army top rifleman to demonstrate how long it would take to get off three shots, which was how many Oswald supposedly fired. With accuracy. To shoot the president.

The army marksman could not get three shots off in the timeframe the American people were told, and heard, that it took to fire three rounds on that eventful day in Dallas.

Theories have existed to this day.

Coverups. Sealed documents — that we were told at the time would all be opened and revealed 50 years after the event, but only bits and redacted pieces have been released.

No matter a person’s political ideologies — and if you’ve been here before and know this place you then know how very conservative my politics are — what happened that November day in Dallas was one of America’s worst days. Not only in the blatant murder of a sitting American president — but in the decades of lies and coverups that have resulted.

We will not know the truth until Judgment Day when all will be revealed.

I am of the mind when it comes time during the Final Judgment and all things are revealed, there are no more things hidden…

…that all will learn that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed a patsy, as many believed, and it was the CIA, or other organized evil that took it upon themselves to murder a sitting president.

Wake up to the reality of the place, the time, the nature of those around us. That have certain thoughts coursing through their evil minds and have the ability to bring those thoughts to fruition.

Men and women are NOT inherently good as the constant droning indoctrination for decades insists.

Men and women are inherently wicked. Evil. Full of evil imaginings all the day and night long.

Not according to me. According to God. The God that knows all things. Knows every thought in every mind all the time. The God that knows everything, sees everything, hears everything.

There is no escaping Him. And the judgment to come.

What to do?

Well, if you haven’t yet now is the day to repent, confess your sin, run to the Lord Jesus Christ, and become renewed of mind and spirit, turn to Jesus having Him become Lord of your life, Savior, Redeemer, and Friend.

If you are a Christ follower, still time to repent of our sin — which was forgiven on that tree of shame by God — and renew, revive, be a true disciple making other disciples as we care and are concerned genuinely where every person will spend their eternity.

One day all of us will know who the people involved in such wickedness, such lies, such murderous realities are. Learning if any of them repented before their last earthly breath of the wicked deeds they had done…

Here’s the thing. Take care of YOUR eternity in and with and for the Lord. Take care of YOUR spirit, soul, and eternal place of residence.

Do it today. While the Great and Good Good Oh So Good and Merciful Loving God blesses you with breath and a beating heart. Because that can cease in an instant and eternity commence.

Read on, watch on…

“The CIA was directly involved in the assassination of JFK. Oswald was a patsy.” The accusations made by Jim Garrison, the investigating attorney

 

As we look back over six decades to the killing of former U.S. president John F Kennedy, thoughts return to the associated conspiracies.

Today, November 22, 2024, is a reminder to us of the event that took place 61 years ago. And for those aware of that fateful day – including those only experience is Oliver Stone’s 1991 movie JFK – Jim Garrison was the New Orleans District Attorney who shook the foundations of the official narrative surrounding President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. He didn’t mince his words.

What Jim Garrison said about the JFK assassination

“The Central Intelligence Agency was directly involved in the planning and cover-up of the assassination of President Kennedy,” he asserted in his investigation. With statements like these, Garrison became both a symbol of dogged inquiry and a target of ridicule.

The CIA and the architects of JFK’s assassination

Garrison’s claims went beyond implicating Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman. To him, the threads tied back to the CIA. “Individuals connected to the CIA operated as the architects of this tragedy and ensured the official narrative silenced other possibilities,” Garrison said. His investigation painted a picture of shadowy figures, working in covert operations, who orchestrated the assassination and the subsequent cover-up with meticulous precision.

Oswald: pawn, not plotter

Central to Garrison’s accusations was the assertion that Lee Harvey Oswald had been framed. “Oswald was nothing more than a patsy, set up to take the fall for an operation that was far beyond his control or comprehension,” he argued. According to Garrison, Oswald was manipulated by those who knew exactly how to turn public suspicion toward a convenient scapegoat.

“He was a pawn in a game orchestrated by individuals in the intelligence community who knew exactly how to manipulate public opinion,” Garrison insisted. The DA’s depiction of Oswald as a hapless tool rather than a mastermind challenged the Warren Commission’s findings and fueled skepticism among Americans.

Web of deceit in New Orleans

Garrison’s investigation didn’t stop with national intelligence agencies; it zoomed in on his own backyard. “New Orleans was the hub of activity for this conspiracy, where operatives met and coordinated their plans,” he declared. Central to this accusation was Clay Shaw, a New Orleans businessman whom Garrison described as “one of the central figures in this web of deceit.”

Garrison’s case against Shaw, which culminated in a 1969 trial, alleged that Shaw had conspired to assassinate JFK. Although Shaw was ultimately acquitted, Garrison maintained his belief in the businessman’s involvement, calling him a key link in the conspiracy’s intricate network.

Sabotage and smear campaigns

Garrison faced significant resistance throughout his investigation, and he was vocal about it. “From the very beginning, my investigation was met with resistance and sabotage, not just from local entities but from the federal level as well,” he stated. The efforts to discredit him ranged from legal hurdles to media smear campaigns. “They used every tool at their disposal—media smear campaigns, legal roadblocks, and even direct threats—to try to derail our pursuit of the truth,” he claimed.

To Garrison, this resistance wasn’t just an obstacle; it was proof of the broader conspiracy at play. He believed that the pushback he encountered was part of a calculated effort to protect powerful individuals and agencies.

The motives behind the JFK murder

For Garrison, the question of “why” Kennedy was assassinated was as important as the “who.” He linked the President’s death to his challenges to entrenched power structures. “Kennedy was assassinated because he challenged the status quo, the military-industrial complex, and those who profit from war and covert operations,” Garrison stated. His vision for peace, particularly his desire to scale back the CIA’s influence and pursue diplomacy over militarism, made him a target. “His vision for peace and his attempts to limit the CIA’s power made him a target for elimination by those who saw him as a threat.”

The legacy of Garrison’s accusations

Jim Garrison’s claims have sparked fierce debate for decades. His unflinching accusations against the CIA, his defense of Oswald as a patsy, and his pursuit of figures like Clay Shaw have kept his theories alive, despite the criticism he faced. While his evidence didn’t lead to convictions, his words have fueled an enduring skepticism about the official account of JFK’s death.

In Garrison’s view, the assassination was more than a tragedy; it was a meticulously planned coup. As he once declared, “The truth is always the first casualty of power.” For those willing to listen, his accusations remain a challenge to dig deeper and question the narratives presented by those in power.

Of course, there is the other side, which argues against Garrison’s ‘disinformation’ and ‘inaccuracies’.
