Wayne Madsen: Castro’s secret archives:

In addition to documents that point to the mob’s and CIA’s involvement in the Kennedy assassination, including the roles played by the Canadian Bronfman family and their wealthy attorney, the CIA-connected Louis Bloomfield of Montreal, the Castro archives reportedly contain a wealth of information about Cuban support for Angola’s government and liberation movements in Africa and Latin America. The archives also have details about the role of the CIA in the Angolan civil war and the coups that toppled Chilean President Salvador Allende and other leaders, as well as Henry Kissinger’s infamous Operation Condor that “disappeared” thousands of leftist, student, and labor leaders in Latin America.

According to a new Harris poll 24% of Republicans believe that President Obama 'may be the Antichrist'.

I am a little suprised that the number is so low.

Chris Hedges: Brace yourself. The American empire is over. And the descent is going to be horrifying.

The Reagan administration had built a domestic covert propaganda apparatus managed by a CIA disinformation specialist working out of the National Security Council.

In one Nov. 4, 1982, "secret" memo, Raymond described Casey reaching out to right-wing mogul Richard Mellon Scaife, who was already working with other conservative foundation executives to fund right-wing publications, think tanks and activist groups seeking to shift U.S. politics to the Right.

Essential reading from Robert Parry.

Was Barack Obama's birth certificate forged at Office Depot?

Yes, according to a posting at Free Republic, quoted at Citizen Wells and spreading rapidly through Wingnuttia:

“My name is Chanise Foxx. I work at a office supply store in Kenwood, IL. After nearly 3 years of silence and death threats to me and my family to stay quiet, I am compelled to come forward and tell the world my secret.

“I helped Obama campaign staffer Divorah Adler create a fake birth certificate for use in the famous Fact Check story to prove the world of Obama’s birth in the 2008 election. Divorah approached me in early 2007 and held onto the birth certificate until she released it in August 2008.

Nothing is known about Chanise Foxx, except, of course, that with a name like Chanise she must be black. Another site has done a little research and found that the only office supply store in Kenwood is an Office Depot.

Really? A United States Senator running for the highest office in the land has to send someone down to Office Depot to forge a document?

Oh, and it turns out that the story of Chanise Foxx was a work of fiction and labeled as such. And there's a photo of Chanise.

I knew it! (I'd do her.)

The Backyard Photos

Recently the backyward photos of Lee Oswald, supposedly taken by his wife Marina, have been in the news due to a study by Dartmouth Professor Hany Farid. Farid's work has been challenged here and here.

Originally there was one backyard photo, which Marina Oswald obligingly admitted to taking. Then a second photo was found and she remembered taking that one as well. During the House Select Committee in the 70's a third photo was found. I don't know if Marina commented on that one. Many have questioned the authenticity of these photos based on various measurements and the shadows. Also there is the matter of the "ghost" photo found in police files (below).

Now, just today, a new development. Researcher Peter Lemkin has posted a new backyard photo , this one showing someone other than Oswald.

I can not and will not tell where it came from, at this time, other than to say 'a reliable source'. ...

Look at the history of the slow 'drip' of new BYP's. There are even more! I even know who the man behind the glasses is and who was behind the camera; where developed and more - not LHO and not Marina there in that backyard - agents of a higher authority than most would believe. ...

The person who gave this to me will be furious at me, no doubt. To them, I ask you to understand and will forgive. I felt I had to...I couldn't keep it under wraps any longer. I hope I haven't endangered you [the person who gave it to me]. I think not. I hope not.
