New Article For Patreon Platform: The Colby Family and the O.J. Simpson Case, Part 2: “Blood Oath”

The third arti­cle in a series that Dave has writ­ten for the sec­ond-high­est sub­scriber tier, this arti­cle spec­u­lates about a “Domes­tic Glad­io,” stem­ming from a 1958 Nation­al Secu­ri­ty Coun­cil doc­u­ment direct­ing links between fascist/extremist groups and the mil­i­tary to “stiff­en the back­bone” of the Amer­i­can peo­ple. We won­der if “Oper­a­tion Thun­der­bolt” may have been such an oper­a­tion and if the “Col­by” dis­clo­sure may have been an enig­mat­ic ref­er­ence to Carl Col­by. As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu.

The Confederacy and Slavery: Alexander W. Stephens’ Cornerstone Speech

Apol­o­gists for the Con­fed­er­a­cy claim their ide­ol­o­gy is based on “her­itage, not hate.” Con­fed­er­ate Vice-Pres­i­dent Alexan­der W. Stephens char­ac­ter­ized the Con­fed­er­a­cy: ” . . . . its cor­ner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slav­ery sub­or­di­na­tion to the supe­ri­or race is his nat­ur­al and nor­mal con­di­tion. . . .” As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu.

FTR#‘s 1285, 1286 and 1287: Interview #‘s 22, 23 and 24 with Jim DiEugenio about “JFK Revisited”

Con­tin­u­ing our vis­its with Jim DiEu­ge­nio, we alter our focus some­what to JFK’s civ­il rights pol­i­cy. Although the sub­ject is pre­sent­ed in JFK Revis­it­ed, we delin­eate a deep dive into a mag­nif­i­cent group of four essays that Jim did on his web­site www.kennedysandking.com: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

To make a VERY long sto­ry short: “The Kennedy admin­is­tra­tion did more to advance civ­il rights in three years than the pri­or 18 did in near­ly a cen­tu­ry. This is sim­ply a mat­ter of record. (See the chart at the end of Part 3.)”
