Preparations & Ideas for the 50th

[Peter Lemkin]

Kudos to Phil and Nathaniel! As far as being arrested, few ever really want to...but if I'm there [hope somehow to be!], I'd take it as a badge of honor as the many labor, civil rights, and anti-war/peace persons before us have been arrested for doing everything right [nothing wrong]! My only worry would be my dog, who goes with me everywhere. I've seen the inside of the American Gulag before. Dawn, since you are fairly near, when time gets nearer maybe you could organize with some progressive lawyer's groups lawyers who will watch/monitor what goes on and provide both witness, some prior and on-the-spot police interaction; and afterwards legal support to bail everyone out and if need be [most likely] bring charges against the City and the Police for a host of provocations, false-arrests, and denial of civil liberties. When the City and Police know the whole world will be watching on livestream they may just act a little better...but then we are talking about Dallas...

Dallas wants to make this big....well, I think those who are/were appalled by the blatant murder of a President and our Polity in a Coup ought to make it even BIGGER - a NATIONAL or even international gathering against both what happened 50 years ago and what America has become today BECAUSE of it and IT because of where TPTB wanted to long steer America - and have done so....it all needs to be exposed [the truth of the pre-planned murder and continuing cover-up] and the plan to turn American into a fascist police state run by and only for the 0.01%. I still think that [as I've ranted about several times here before] we need to get Occupy from all over the Nation; labor groups; civil rights groups; ecological activists; anti-imperialists; freedom fighters of all stripes; Native Peoples, oppressed minorities, the poor and forgotten, those without homes or loosing theirs; those unjustly treated by the rigged system now; famous people calling for a gathering of the 'tribes of truth' in Dallas on the 50th with NO POLICE lines or City Defined areas respected. Its the Plaza or bust! They have all but taken away all of our rights and freedoms and plan to push it in our faces one last time - making DP on the 50th the '911' of political protests [after everything is forever changed]. I say NO....over my dead body! Basta! Fight back and push back.....legally/peacefully if possible, but through non-violent civil disobedience if necessary. They only use violence and brute force, trick laws, BIG money, MSM, etc; and seem not to speak or hear reason - certainly not justice/truth.

This is going to be one of the last times to really make the point about what has been going down all these years...and certainly the last big chance to enlighten the uninformed on JFK, why he died [how he died] and WHY IT MATTERS!!!!

Ms. Meredith:
Yep, no question about Mr. Myers and music.
I find it more than coincidence that many "researchers" also hold interests in music. I bet y'all had a good time. Sorry I missed it. In 2005 the expense was "over the top for me".

Even I used to do acoustic guitar, mostly John Prine, Niel Young, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. I bet some could have guessed that. Then one day I screwed up my left hand fingertips at work and I quit playing and sold the Ovation a year later - what was I thinkin'? I still enjoy what we have called front porch music since I was quite young. I guess that is Bluegrass and folk music.

To all:

Now that I do have enough lead time, I am going to save for the trip. It is time to make a stand as I have done before, a stand in the streets. For our own views to have a voice.

However Halliburton did build a few hundred thousand cells in new prisons for someone. Reportedly Our President just made law an unlimited unrepresented un-accused (uncharged) detention.
Abu Ghariab come home to roost because no one spoke up in 2001 to say: "Hey this torture thing is not American, it is fascist and I want No part of that"?

It wont matter that we all have no intention of violence, only to be heard and to refuse to go along with the Dallas Agenda promotion of the "LHO did it" katydid call repeat ad nauseam. 50 years of that BS is enough.

The People (WeThePeople in particular) KNOW the lies and deception of DP Fables.
The Fables and the Government's stubborn refusal to admit change in knowledge about the Fables has played a major role in WeThePeoples' loss of faith in our Government.

It will matter just to support TRUTH, and to gather the clan (in the Irish-American sense of the word not the 3K lunatics of hate usage).

This decision took some time and careful consideration. I don't want to be arrested, but some things in life are worth a little hassle if that must be.

Does anyone know of any groups or organizations (COPA, Mary Ferrell, Facebook, what have you) that are planning letter writing campaigns to coincide with the 50th?

I don't know of any. However, COPA, as an example, and Bill Kelly, in particular, have requested signatures on various worthwhile petitions over the years. I don't know that they have ever been able to
meet the number of signatures required for optimal effect.

I like the idea of a letter writing campaign because you don't need a lot of them to get a response. One well-written, one page letter can make a difference, as the letter from the mayor of Cedar Rapids had on LBJ regarding the release of the Warren Commission records, JFKcountercoup: Cedar Rapids Mayor Robert M. L. Johnson - Freed WC Records, and Jim Lesar's letter to the Archivist JFKcountercoup: AARC Letter to US Archivist, both of which got results. Other letters include Paul Kuntsler's letter to Ferriero JFKcountercoup: Open Letter to Ferriero and my letter to Tunheim
JFKcountercoup: Open Letter to Judge John Tunheim, neither of which got a response.

Letters can be effective, especially if sent by regular mail, faxed and emailed, as well as posted on line somewhere (like here), which lets people know that at least a letter was sent and what it says.

It's also important to include your real name and address and contact information, not be insulting. use logic and reason and be persuasive, as the purpose of the letter should be to change their mind or get them to do something specific.

Don't even bother to write more than one page, or they won't bother reading it. It must be short and sweet, and if you can't say it on one page it isn't worth saying because they really won't read it, it's that simple.

If a serious letter writing campaign is to be launched, I would suggest that it be directed at Congress, and get them to hold oversight hearings on the JFK Act of 1992, which they haven't done in over 15 years. The House Government Oversight Committee is responsible, and the chairman is Rep. Darrell Issa, Congressman Darrell Issa, whose district is just north of San Diego and south of LA. If you are a constituent, and live and vote in that district, contact him through his home office.
Send him a message via Facebook: (8) Congressman Darrell E. Issa


If you are not a constituent, contact your own representative and ask him to convince Issa to hold a public hearing on the JFK Act, especially if your congressman is a member of the committee - Committee On Oversight & Government Reform

If your congressman is not on the committee, you can write to Issa and the committee staff requesting they do their job and hold the mandatory oversight hearings as required by law, sending the one-page letter via US mail, fax and email or Facebook it.

Great stuff, Bill. I started a new thread with a sample letter that I sent to Issa last year. https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post63446

[Mark Prior]

With all due respect to all posting parties, the discussion within this thread has escaped the original purpose of this thread. I'm not at all suggesting that recent posts are not worthy of being discussed...They are worthy. But those posts belong in a thread other than this one.

PLEASE only post your comments or thoughts which are relevant to preparing or proposing specific ideas around the 50th anniversary.

Thank you for understanding.
