"At the very moment Kennedy was shot, four female employees of the Texas School Book Depository at Dealey Plaza—Victoria Adams, Sandra Styles, Elsie Dorman, and Dorothy May Garner—were standing by the window of the fourth-floor office.

Twenty-three-year-old Victoria Adams initially thought she had heard a firecracker when the shooting began. But when she saw the chaos unfolding below on Elm Street, she realized that something dramatic had happened.

Grabbing her friend Sandra Styles by the arm, she suggested that they go downstairs to see what was happening. The two women passed through a storage room on their way to the rear staircase and hurried down the creaking stairs.

By this point, Victoria had begun to fear the worst and exclaimed that she thought the President had been shot."

"After studying the 26 volumes of the Warren Commission report in detail, businessman John Armstrong found so much information suggesting that there may have been an Oswald double that he launched a full-time investigation of his own.

The theory of an Oswald double had already been advanced in 1966 by Professor Richard H. Popkin in the book The Second Oswald. Popkin pointed to several details that, in his view, suggested the existence of a double and argued that all observations of a second Oswald constituted evidence of a conspiracy.

Armstrong, for his part, spent twelve years researching and reading everything he could find about Oswald and the Kennedy assassination. The project took him not only to the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington and to several U.S. states, but also to Switzerland and Argentina."

"Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 as an American branch of a German student society known as Der Eulogianische Club. The name can be traced to the Latin word eulogia, meaning “blessing,” and has sometimes been associated with the Eucharist. Eulogia can also signify eloquence, and one version of the story holds that the group’s name derives from the fact that its members worshipped a Greek goddess named Eulogia, who was said to have ascended to heaven together with the eloquent Greek philosopher Demosthenes after his death in 322 BC.
It has been speculated that the number 322, which appears beneath the skull in the fraternity’s emblem, refers to the idea that the Order originated from—or identifies itself with—a Greek brotherhood dating back to the time of Demosthenes’ death in 322 BC.
The affairs of Skull & Bones were managed by the Russell Trust Association under the leadership of Daniel Coit Gilman, the first president of Johns Hopkins University and also a co-founder of the Carnegie Institution for Science.¹"

On August 22, 1957, Lee Harvey Oswald departed from San Diego for Japan aboard the USS Bexar.

In September, he was assigned to Marine Air Control Squadron 1 (MACS-1) at the top-secret underground base at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, where he worked with classified radar equipment.

Atsugi was also the base from which the highly secret Lockheed U-2 spy plane operated on missions over Soviet territory.

Only the most capable recruits were assigned to Atsugi, and as a consequence of his position there, Oswald received a security clearance—an authorization granting access to military areas containing classified information.

According to the author, this and other facts call into question portrayals of Oswald as an unintelligent failure.

When the car carrying Kennedy passed by and turned onto Elm Street, Dallas Sheriff W.W. Mabra and Police Officer Orville Smith were standing on the sidewalk in front of the courthouse on Houston Street. Approximately one minute after the car had turned right onto Houston Street, the officers heard three shots fired, whereupon Smith turned to Mabra and exclaimed, “That sounded like a deer rifle!”

Five days later, Sheriff Mabra wrote the following in his police report:

“… I went to the railroad yard and parking area west of the Book Depository and helped search the area. I spoke with a city policeman who said he was stationed at the railroad yard and had the area under observation and that no one came that way.”

All of the independent researchers who have investigated the Kennedy assassination and been ridiculed by proponents of the official version, which holds Lee Harvey Oswald solely responsible for the crime, can take comfort in the fact that they are in good company.

During the Warren Commission’s investigation, Senator Richard Russell became increasingly skeptical of the process, particularly regarding the so-called “magic bullet.” The theory was crucial to the Commission’s conclusion that the assassination was the work of a lone gunman, because a fourth bullet would have proven that there had to be at least one additional shooter.

Russell at times conducted his own investigation, assisted by a retired Army intelligence colonel named Philip Corso, who had previously served on Eisenhower’s National Security Council.

Researcher and author Harold Weisberg argued that the first thing one must do to determine who was behind the Kennedy assassination is to ask two questions:

“Who benefited from it, and which of those who benefited were in a position to frame Lee Harvey Oswald?”

According to Weisberg, this ruled out the Mafia as well as right-wing and left-wing extremist groups.

Instead, he concluded that those who had both the means and the motive were the forces that feared and opposed Kennedy’s foreign-policy initiatives concerning Vietnam and the Soviet Union:

“There was a very powerful, well-connected coalition that opposed the winding down of the Vietnam venture and feared that Kennedy would act to free us from what they viewed as a potentially lucrative war.”

In the debate over vaccine safety, a larger issue is often overlooked: how vaccination campaigns undermine natural herd immunity and expose young people to significant risk. Immunologist Tetyana Obukhanych, who holds a PhD from Rockefeller University and has conducted research at Harvard Medical School and Stanford University School of Medicine, explains why unvaccinated children do not pose a danger to those around them.

Her reasons for beginning to question vaccination stem from personal experience. Despite being fully vaccinated against common childhood diseases, she still became ill. Having been indoctrinated into the belief that vaccine-induced immunity was equivalent to natural immunity, she nevertheless chose to re-examine the underlying science.

"Our food is contaminated with flavor enhancers and other chemicals that are extremely unhealthy and harmful, both in the short term and over the long term.

Dr. Stanley Monteith spends an hour discussing health in general with Dr. Russell Blaylock. More specifically, they focus on monosodium glutamate (MSG) and its many variants, which are now found in a wide range of products sold in grocery stores. Studies on MSG and other flavor enhancers are said to provide substantial scientific support for their harmful health effects. According to the speakers, this has been known for a long time, yet it has received little attention in the mainstream media. Processed food, they argue, is harming and poisoning a large portion of the world’s population, many of whom do not consider what they are actually consuming."

The Money Masters is a historical documentary by Bill Still that traces the origins of the political power structure.

It argues that a small group of power-hungry international bankers, through the manipulation of the economy, succeeded in gaining control over the United States, and that this same group plans to do the same to the rest of the world.

"John Lennon and Yoko Ono did what they could to make the world a better place according to their own values.

In this clip, John talks about how he views the power structure, the elite, and the forces that existed at the time—and that, in his opinion, unfortunately still exist today.

Doing what we can, here and now, is the key. The message is beautiful, true, and powerful."

A video by NufffRespect about predictive programming, discussing how the elite allegedly condition people through entertainment to accept planned societal changes. In the video, Alan Watt argues that this has been going on since the days of Plato and that the methods have become increasingly sophisticated over time.

"At regular intervals, documents from history’s darkest archives come to light. When the United States declassified previously secret CIA documents in June 2007 covering the Agency’s activities during the 1950s, 1960s, and into the early 1970s, the revelations made headlines. The CIA had attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro using poison capsules, conducted military LSD experiments on unwitting test subjects, and more. For the mainstream media, this was news. For those who had tried to piece together reality from other sources—including defectors from within the Agency—it was old news.

However, the released documentation only extends into the early 1970s and therefore does not address allegations concerning the CIA’s involvement in the emergence of HIV and the subsequent spread of AIDS. According to the text, those issues remain too sensitive."

"Dr. Frank Olson, of Swedish descent, was a CIA agent and civilian scientist at the U.S. biological weapons facility at Fort Detrick in the state of Maryland (including anthrax, which was sent out after 9/11). In the early 1950s, he participated in the CIA mind control programs MK-Ultra and Project Artichoke. There, brutal torture methods and drugs were tested on prisoners in order to make them talk. Several victims died under the torture. (Guantanamo has a long tradition of torture in the United States.)

It became too much for Frank Olson, and he wanted to leave. He confided in the British psychiatrist William Sargant, who, however, worked for MI6. Olson also knew that the United States had secretly used biological warfare agents during the Korean War in 1952, despite this being prohibited."

In the film The Secret of Oz, a brief summary is given of the United States’ most famous and frequently adapted story, The Wizard of Oz. It is a symbolic story about America’s struggle for control over its own money and for the preservation of silver as money, the so-called bimetallic standard, with the two metals, silver and gold, serving as money, a system that had functioned reasonably well for thousands of years. The Great Silver Conspiracy paved the way for today’s fake money system.

Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in art and, more broadly, in our lives.

According to Scruton, the 1920s marked the point at which society turned its back on beauty. Art, architecture, and music have since followed a trend toward ugliness, leading us into a spiritual desert.

By drawing on philosophers such as Plato and Kant, and through conversations with artists Michael Craig-Martin and Alexander Stoddart, Scruton examines where art went wrong and presents his own passionate argument for restoring beauty to its traditional place at the center of our civilization. If you had asked people between 1750 and 1930 to describe the purpose of poetry, art, or music, they would have answered: beauty.
