Pinkerton — Russia to Judgment: On the Origin of Conspiracy Theories and the Fake News Trifecta

25 Mar 2019

In 1966, left-wing activist Mark Lane published a book arguing that the assassination of the 35th president, three years earlier, could not possibly have been carried out by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Lane’s book, titled Rush to Judgement, concluded that there must have been a larger conspiracy at work, involving multiple gunmen, probably operating from the legendary grassy knoll. That same year, Lane starred in a documentary movie with the same title, on the same topic.

As we reflect on the three-year gap between the Kennedy assassination in 1963 and the release of Lane’s product in 1966, we might note that events moved a lot more slowly in those pre-digital days; still, events did move in that analogue era. As The Los Angeles Times recalled a quarter-century later, “Rush to Judgmentopened the floodgate for [Kennedy assassination] conspiracy theories.”

In his conspiracy theorizing, Lane was soon joined by the eccentric district attorney of New Orleans, Jim Garrison, who spun an elaborate skein of fantastic fantasies, implicating various local businessmen. One innocent victim of Garrison’s legalistic marauding was Clay Shaw, who was tried in 1969 and acquitted within an hour.

Garrison was soon out of office amidst clouds of corruption, and yet he continued to peddle his ever-escalating theories, implicating everyone from J. Edgar Hoover to Earle Cabell, the onetime mayor of Dallas. Most consequentially, Garrison found an eager listener in Hollywood director Oliver Stone. In 1991, Stone released the film JFK, in which Garrison was heroically portrayed—by no less than Kevin Costner, then at the peak of his acting career—as a valiant truth-teller, battling vast sinister forces. Stone’s conspiracy-mongering film was laughable then, and now, and yet, of course, it has assumed a permanent place in crackpot pop culture.

So for more than a half-century, we’ve had to deal with JFK conspiracy theories—and maybe we always will. (In fairness, one can say that there will be loose ends forever in the case, as there are with any important historical event. And yet the core finding of the Warren Commission, that Oswald was the lone gunman, remains sturdily intact

MSM canabalyzing their own CIA pundit

MSM Journalists Turn on Obama CIA Director John Brennan 25 Mar 2019

Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan faced a day of reckoning on Monday, after the Special Counsel investigation did not establish there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia after extensive investigation.

Although conservatives have long cast a wary eye at the former CIA director, whose hyper-partisan rants and high-profile role as a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC and MSNBC went beyond previous CIA chiefs in recent memory, mainstream media journalists, are now also questioning his credibility.

ABC News Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran on Sunday tweeted, along with a clip of a March 6 interview on MSNBC, “John Brennan has a lot to answer for — going before the American public for months, cloaked with CIA authority and openly suggesting he’s got secret info, and repeatedly turning in performances like this.”

John Brennan has a lot to answer for—going before the American public for months, cloaked with CIA authority and openly suggesting he’s got secret info, and repeatedly turning in performances like this.

During that interview, Brennan told The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell that he predicted Mueller would conclude his report with “final indictments,” including potentially of Trump family members.

And MSNBC’s Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough on Monday questionedBrennan on whether he received “bad information.”

But CNN political commentator Amanda Carpenter — a vociferous Trump critic herself — called on Brennan to “apologize” for throwing the word “treason” out when discussing Trump and the Russia investigation.

“At the very least, Brennan needs to apologize to the American people for giving them the idea that treason — big capital letters treason — was committed,” she said on CNN…..

EVIL PIVOTS…We Can Never Forget the Death Cult Lives Strong in these Ghouls

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy: ‘I Look Forward to Signing’ Assisted Suicide Bill

25 Mar 2019

“Allowing terminally ill and dying residents the dignity to make end-of-life decisions according to their own consciences is the right thing to do,” Murphy said. “I look forward to signing this legislation into law.”

However, Patients Rights Action Fund Executive Director Matt Valliere said New Jersey lawmakers who voted for the bill “failed” the state’s citizens by allowing the bill to pass.

“In other states where assisted suicide is legal, it has proven impossible to regulate and leaves the door wide open for abuse and coercion,” he warned. “The vulnerable in society: the poor, terminally ill, and people with disabilities, will be the most negatively affected by assisted suicide. New Jersey ought to be investing in better care and support at the end of life, not enshrining this dangerous public policy into law.”

Dubbed the Medical Aid in Dying Bill, the measure passed each chamber of the legislature with the minimum number of votes: 21 in the State Senate and 41 in the Assembly.

As northjersey.com reported, two physicians would be required to confirm an individual has less than six months to live. The terminally ill individual can request and then self-administer the lethal drugs….

Yep, anyone but themselves, “Oh My, we were deceived by the CIA, how could that happen?” Dodge and cover; and to think Morning Dirtbag Joe has the audacity to say one word…hope he’s in the line up for treason!

>>5900228

Seriously why hasn’t this guy been locked up a long time ago? What did congress him lying to them was a one off, it’s called a pattern Aholes

>>5900231

I agree 1000%, Denmark has assisted suicide and all kinds of studies show many who wanted to commit suicide were depressed, not even sick beyond hope. One story a guy got a sex change operation, and said he was convinced to do it and was the worst decision of his life, because he wasn’t a pretty enough woman…he wanted to die. EU countries push this, its one less mouth to feed. Certainly no compassion…I suspect PP us behind this governor big time, normalize killing people

>>5900266

And all of the media are too, they knew who he is, they knew he’s a known liar, they knew and enjoyed participating …he’s not the only one that will go down because of this

>>5900328

Wouldn’t be surprised, death is the culture they want all to accept, Life is no longer valuable. PP written all over this guy, probably got huge donations
