I have been reading The Invasion of Mississippi by Earl Lively, Jr., put out in 1963 by the John Birch Society. It is a one-sided account of the southern response to the integration of the University of Mississippi. The following excerpts show how the Kennedy administration was viewed by the Right in those days (perhaps similar to how they view the Obama administration today?)

If anyone is oppressed in the South today, it is the white man. His laws are violated and struck down by edicts of a judicial oligarchy, his rights are trampled, and his land is repeatedly invaded by the brute force of a tyrannical federal Administration.

If President Kennedy should assume total power in a "crisis" situation, or if the South stews in racial strife until a race war divides the nation and so weakens it that soviet power could take control, the result would be the same in either case--we would be in the hands of a naked dictatorship

Bush Suicidal!

ABC has a piece on the assisted suicide of Dr. Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West

His father, Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West, was a world-renowned psychiatrist with expertise in brainwashing and cult activities who examined famous patients like Lee Harvey Oswald and Patricia Hearst.

If Jolly West examined Lee Harvey Oswald that is news to me. As I recall, he examined Jack Ruby.

Soros sees no bottom for world financial "collapse"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis.

Soros said the turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.

Fuck. And me unemployed.

Radical rightwing nutjob Alan Keyes has some bad things to say about Barack Obama.

"Obama is a radical communist and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it is coming true," said Keyes who ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the Senate in 2004. "He is going to destroy this country and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist," said Keyes.

He also called Obama an "abomination", a "usurper" who was actually born in Kenya and predicted "chaos, confusion and civil war."

History, of a sort, was made today and I, by chance, witnessed it. I was flipping through the channels and happened to catch daytime television's first lesbian wedding.

Wingnut Watch

I love this story. It seems that a software developer named Tom Fife had a conversation with a Russian Communist scientist and his wife in 1992 who said that the Communists were grooming a young half-black, half-white young man named Barack to be President! Imagine that.

"Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of presidents. He is what you call 'Ivy League.' You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your president."

Sex and the Zapruder film

Whether the Zapruder film has been altered is a hotly disputed point and an area that I have stayed out of. Researcher Scott Myers believes that the conspirators have cleverly embedded the word "SEX" throughout the film. It is not immediately clear why they would do this. See here.

New book: JFK Assassination a Mafia Conspiracy

Deputy Sheriff Harry Weatherford, the best shot in the department was assigned to the top of the County Records building by Sheriff Decker to protect the president. When Oswald's first shot struck Kennedy, Officer Weatherford saw the pigeons fly from the top of the Texas School Book Depository building, but he had no target. When Oswald fired his second shot, Weatherford saw the muzzle flash from the sixth floor window. Jacquelyn was scrambling from the limousine to escape the hail of bullets as Oswald's finger tightened on the trigger for the third shot, which was intended for her. Just a micro-second before Oswald fired, Weatherford's bullet passed in front of Oswald causing Oswald's third shot to go high over Jacquelyn hitting the curb on the south side of Elm Street.
