FTR#‘s 1379 & 1380: Team Trump Takes the Field, Parts 5 and 6

Intro­duc­tion: NB: This descrip­tion con­tains mate­r­i­al not avail­able in the orig­i­nal.

These pro­grams high­light a dis­turb­ing syn­the­sis of sub­stan­tive, fac­tu­al inquiries (the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, MLK and RFK, Sr.) with pro­to-fascis­tic ancient aliens built the pyra­mids, ancient astro­nauts, Eric von Daniken bs.

Holo­caust deniers have long hov­ered around the edges of the assas­si­na­tion research. Once one real­izes that, in fact, Lee Har­vey Oswald was a pat­sy in the JFK assas­si­na­tion, James Earl Ray was a pat­sy in the assas­si­na­tion of Mar­tin Luther King and Sirhan Sirhan was a [mind-con­trolled] pat­sy in the assas­si­na­tion of RFK, Sr. it leaves many in a rel­a­tivis­tic political/intellectual uni­verse. They won­der: “Maybe the Holo­caust did­n’t hap­pen?”

Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Includes: Amaryl­lis Fox’s role as intel­li­gence advis­er to the Office of Man­age­ment and Bud­get and the Pres­i­den­t’s For­eign Intel­li­gence Review Board; Tul­si Gab­bard’s sup­port for Indi­a’s attack on Pak­istan; Mod­i’s net­work­ing with the RSS; An inci­sive arti­cle not­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ty of U.S. and/or U.K involve­ment in the ter­ror­ist inci­dent in Kash­mir; Review of the rela­tion­ship between RFK, Jr. daugh­ter-in-law and cam­paign man­ag­er Amaryl­lis Fox and Tul­si Gab­bard; Tul­si Gab­bard’s pro­found rela­tion­ship with the Hin­dut­va fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion RSS (the orga­ni­za­tion that assas­si­nat­ed Mahat­ma Gand­hi); Review of the assas­si­na­tion of Mahat­ma Gand­hi; Review of Gab­bard’s mem­ber­ship in the Hare Krish­na Cult; Dis­cus­sion of the New Age, the UFO dis­in­for­ma­tion gam­bit; the fascist/Nazi roots of the alter­na­tive archaeology/“Our Broth­ers from Space” meme; The recent pre­sen­ta­tion of dis­in­for­ma­tion con­cern­ing “cham­bers beneath the Pyra­mids of Egypt” (prov­ing that Space Aliens built the Pyra­mids); the approval of that bs by numer­ous fig­ures in “Team Trump” includ­ing Anna Pauli­na Luna, head­ing up “inquiries” into the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, RFK, MLK, 9/11, UFO’s; Jef­frey Epstein.


Yes, Mr. Giroux: Is It Too Late?

Recent­ly, lead­ing pro­gres­sive intel­lec­tu­al Hen­ry Giroux penned an essay for Counterpunch.org. In the piece, Giroux accu­rate­ly assessed the cur­rent state of Amer­i­can polit­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tion: “We live in per­ilous times. The mobi­liz­ing pas­sions of fas­cism are no longer a dis­tant echo of history—they are here, surg­ing through the Unit­ed States like an elec­tric cur­rent. We are in a peri­od of social, ide­o­log­i­cal, and racial cleans­ing. . . . Amer­i­cans are not wit­ness­ing a slow drift toward author­i­tar­i­an­ism. They are liv­ing through the vio­lent, coor­di­nat­ed seizure of demo­c­ra­t­ic life by fas­cist forces embold­ened by indif­fer­ence, cru­el­ty, and the archi­tec­ture of unac­count­able pow­er. . . .” 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. There is no bet­ter way of ful­fill­ing that oblig­a­tion than by obtain­ing the lat­est flash dri­ve, con­tain­ing all of Dav­e’s 45+ years on the air and a library of old anti-fas­cist books. Dave has estab­lished a Patre­on site fea­tur­ing arti­cles that he and oth­er researchers have writ­ten, inter­views with guests and three, week­ly talks by Dave. Lis­ten­ers can inter­act with Monte and oth­er guests on the plat­form. WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE.


FTR#‘s 1373 & 1374: 40 Wall Street, Parts 1 and 2

Intro­duc­tion: “Fol­low the Mon­ey” is an axiom. These pro­grams explore the forces con­trol­ling the cen­ter­piece of his real estate port­fo­lio.

Before delv­ing into analy­sis of 40 Wall Street, we note the alto­geth­er dubi­ous nature of Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Anna Pauli­na Luna, who will head over­lap­ping inquiries into, among oth­er things, the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, MLK and (pos­si­bly) RFK.

Appar­ent­ly fun­da­men­tal mis­rep­re­sen­ta­tions of her back­ground are a mea­sure of Ms. Luna’s intel­lec­tu­al cred­i­bil­i­ty.

It will be inter­est­ing to see if Ms. Luna’s rep­re­sen­ta­tions give intel­lec­tu­al momen­tum to Holo­caust Denial, “Yes” on Aliens, “Yes” on Con­trolled Demo­li­tion of the World Cen­ter, and, per­haps, Don­ald Trump on Mount Rush­more.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Ms. Luna’s Mater­nal Grand­fa­ther’s Third Reich Ser­vice; The use of a finan­cial real estate vehi­cle as a mon­ey laun­der­ing instru­ment for Fer­di­nand Mar­cos’ wealth, the bulk of which came from Gold­en Lily recov­er­ies; The mys­te­ri­ous Ger­man aris­to­crats (includ­ing the Von Bis­mar­ck fam­i­ly) who own the land beneath Don­ald Trump’s 40 Wall Street prop­er­ty; The sale of the 40 Wall Street land to the Mar­cos front three weeks after its pur­chase; The mys­te­ri­ous own­er­ship of the LLC’s con­trol­ling the land beneath 40 Wall Street and (pos­si­bly) Trump him­self; Fer­di­nand Mar­cos, Jr.‘s Gold­en Lily pres­i­den­cy in the Philip­pines; The pro­jec­tion of a fas­cist Gold­en Lily milieu about tak­ing over the U.S. with their own nation­al secu­ri­ty appa­ra­tus; The encour­age­ment of the Mar­cos Gold­en Lily pipeline into the U.S. by the Rea­gan White House and William Casey’s CIA.


Latest Patreon Talks: Reflections on Assassinations of MLK and RFK and Mind Control (Four Articles Posted)

Mr. Emory’s Patre­on Archive con­tin­ues to grow: In addi­tion to bril­liant expos­es by Hal Sander­son and “Mon­ty” about the intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty, fas­cism and the new age and ground-break­ing research about the depth and scope of Nazi pen­e­tra­tion of U.S. intel­li­gence, the most recent talks revis­it the assas­si­na­tions of MLK and RFK, as well as the sub­ject of mind con­trol. Dr. Jef­frey Sachs “pret­ty con­vinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab. WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE. Mr. Emory emphat­i­cal­ly rec­om­mends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash dri­ve con­tain­ing all of Mr. Emory’s 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fas­cist books on easy-to-down­load PDF files.


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.)”


Latest on Patreon Site: The 9/11 “Truthers,” Covid, China’s Economy

On Mr. Emory’s Patre­on site, the most recent one hour talks include: Debunk­ing of the “con­trolled demo­li­tion” dis­in­for­ma­tion with regard to the 9/11 attacks; the O.J. Simp­son case and the assas­si­na­tion of Mar­tin Luther King, as well as Covid-19 and the Chi­nese econ­o­my post “Zero Covid.” Dr. Jef­frey Sachs “pret­ty con­vinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.

FTR#‘s 1281 and 1282: Interviews #18 and #19 with Jim DiEugenio and David Talbot

Con­tin­u­ing our series of inter­views about JFK Revis­it­ed, we vis­it with both Jim DiEu­ge­nio and David Tal­bot, the author of Broth­ers and The Dev­il’s Chess­board. (We have high­light­ed infor­ma­tion from the lat­ter in FTR#‘s 894, 1162.)

Note that David Tal­bot is a major con­trib­u­tor to the com­men­tary in JFK Revis­it­ed.

The broad­cast high­lights the many top­ics of dis­cus­sion that David Tal­bot con­tributes dur­ing the pro­gram. We also high­light David’s prob­lems get­ting The Dev­il’s Chess­board reviewed.

Of note, as well, is David’s dis­cus­sion of a doc­u­ment that he and Lisa Pease dis­cov­ered: On the week­end of JFK’s assas­si­na­tion, Allen Dulles had decamped to Camp Peary aka “The Farm”–a major CIA train­ing facil­i­ty. The doc­u­ment lat­er dis­ap­peared.


FTR#‘s 1279 and 1280: Interviews #16 and #17 with Jim DiEugenio and John Newman

Our ongo­ing series of inter­views with Jim DiEugenio–selected by Oliv­er Stone to write the screen­play for the doc­u­men­tary JFK Revis­it­ed and to write and edit the book derived from the film—presents an extreme­ly enrich­ing guest, John New­man.

Dis­cus­sion con­cludes with what Sen­a­tor Richard Schweik­er not­ed: that there were “the fin­ger­prints of Intel­li­gence all around Oswald.” An impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tion brack­et­ing this dis­cus­sion con­cerns the CIA’s coun­ter­in­tel­li­gence search/obsession for a KGB mole with­in the Agency. John has writ­ten, and is writ­ing, about that sub­ject. Oswald’s “defec­tion” to the USSR over­lapped that dynam­ic.

Author of among oth­er titles JFK and Viet­nam and Oswald and the CIA, John was deeply involved with Stone’s 1991 opus JFK.

The inter­views begin with review of top­ics pre­vi­ous­ly dis­cussed in this FTR series, includ­ing: Pres­i­dent Eisenhower’s order to kill Patrice Lumum­ba of the Con­go, reach­ing a crescen­do with Ike’s out­burst at a nation­al secu­ri­ty meet­ing demand­ing aloud Lumumba’s ter­mi­na­tion; Pres­i­dents Trump’s and Biden’s balk­ing at the man­dat­ed release of doc­u­ments pur­suant to the ARRB’s man­date; dis­cus­sion of Oper­a­tion North­woods, Lyman Lemnitzer’s and Maxwell Taylor’s planned series of provo­ca­tions designed to pro­voke a U.S. inva­sion of Cuba.

Next, we review JFK’s Viet­nam pol­i­cy (this, too, has been cov­ered in past talks, how­ev­er we present added depth draw­ing on John’s exper­tise and pub­lished book JFK and Viet­nam.)

We then high­light Gen­er­al Cur­tis LeMay’s atti­tude toward and behav­ior with regard to JFK.

Of par­tic­u­lar note is John New­man’s dis­clo­sure that no record­ings of the meet­ings of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have sur­vived intact!


FTR#‘s 1275 & 1276 Interviews #14 and #15 with Jim DiEugenio and Paul Bleau about “JFK Revisited”

This broad­cast con­tin­ues our vis­its with Jim DiEugenio–author of Des­tiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited–selected by Oliv­er Stone to write the screen­play for his lat­est doc­u­men­tary.

In these broad­casts, we are addi­tion­al­ly priv­i­leged by the par­tic­i­pa­tion of Paul Bleau, a vet­er­an JFK assas­si­na­tion researcher who is promi­nent­ly fea­tured in JFK Revis­it­ed.

The recent inquiries into the 1/6/2021 insur­rec­tion have yield­ed some jour­nal­is­tic cov­er­age (Wash­ing­ton Post) of Secret Ser­vice destruc­tion of records of 1963 threats to JFK from “white suprema­cist” groups. We begin by pre­sent­ing Paul’s analy­sis of the Chica­go plot against JFK’s life; with appar­ent shoot­ers posi­tioned in a high-rise build­ing to elim­i­nate JFK as he trav­eled in a motor­cade.

Next, Paul ana­lyzes the plot against JFK’s life in Tam­pa.

Fol­low­ing dis­cus­sion of the pre­vi­ous plots against JFK in 1963, we turn to Oswald’s pres­ence in New Orleans and the cast of char­ac­ters revolv­ing around Guy Ban­is­ter’s “detec­tive agency.”

In a pre­vi­ous pro­gram, we not­ed that the term “Con­spir­a­cy The­o­rist” was great­ly ele­vat­ed in its use and intel­lec­tu­al pro­file by stress­ing the util­i­ty of the moniker in dis­cred­it­ing War­ren Com­mis­sion crit­ics.

Instead of “con­spir­a­cy,” the term “net­work­ing” is both accu­rate and res­onates pos­i­tive­ly with the rela­tion­ships that char­ac­ter­ize the JFK assas­si­na­tion land­scape.

Among Paul Bleau’s numer­ous arti­cles avail­able on kennedysandking.com is one about Oswald’s escorts. We delve into some aspects of the net­work­ing involv­ing Oswald and the Camp Street milieu in New Orleans.


FTR#‘s 1273 & 1274 Interviews #12 and #13 with Jim DiEugenio and Dr. Gary Aquilar about “JFK Revisited”

This broad­cast con­tin­ues our vis­its with Jim DiEugenio–author of Des­tiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited–selected by Oliv­er Stone to write the screen­play for his lat­est doc­u­men­tary.

In these broad­casts, we are addi­tion­al­ly priv­i­leged by the par­tic­i­pa­tion of Dr. Gary Aquilar, one of the experts fea­tured in the Stone/DiEugenio doc­u­men­tary, as well as being one of the ground-break­ing fig­ures in the ongo­ing inquiry into the med­ical evi­dence in the assas­si­na­tion.

Dr. Aquilar high­light­ed the deep pro­fes­sion­al com­pro­mis­ing of peo­ple who filled “expert” roles in the var­i­ous med­ical exam­i­na­tions, the involve­ment of a num­ber of them as “experts” in oth­er, impor­tant intel­li­gence-con­nect­ed cas­es such as the assas­si­na­tion of Mar­tin Luther King.

In par­tic­u­lar, Dr. Aquilar parsed the incon­sis­ten­cies in a review of the med­ical evi­dence in the JFK assas­si­na­tion case that was insti­tut­ed by then Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ram­sey Clark–“inconsistencies” which are dif­fi­cult to ascribe to caprice or error.

In addi­tion to his pre­sen­ta­tion of new mate­r­i­al with which even Jim DiEu­ge­nio was unfa­mil­iar, Gary was instru­men­tal in dis­cus­sion of the medical/forensic evi­dence in the JFK assas­si­na­tion case.
