If Trump became President, a lot of his supporters would be surprised/disappointed that he would be a Giuliani/Bloomberg/Pataki-style NY Republican, connected to Wall Street and not really a populist. Probably pretty liberal on social issues like abortion and gay rights, though. Basically like Hillary but not as hawkish and close to the Neo-Cons. :hock::

They're not worried. They have Hillary to do their bidding...

I see no reference to "two shots to the head" in the Welsh matter. I believe that reference was to the Webb case. It is my impression that the original Madsen article was simply referring to the speed of the suicide announcement, and the lack of an autopsy finding when that announcement was made, and comparing that to the Webb case.


Dawn: You can follow the link to his blog. I added the emphasis to my post, but other than that, it's verbatim what's there.


Paul: If you believe that the CIA favors Trump, why do you suppose that there are no systematic attempts to violently protest/disrupt Cruz or Kasich rallies? Isn't that one of the CIA playbook tactics for (ahem) foreign countries?

I saw that somewhere....not sure where now, that it was two shots to the head. And Drew, I "got" that you underlined this for emphasis I just have a difficult time believing HE actually typed those particular words, lending to the Suicide theory. Too convenient.

Roger Stone says Judyth Baker confirms Cruz's father hung-out with Oswald (The usual JVB cautions, disclaimers, and qualifiers all apply of course) I'd feel better if Hancock said so instead of Baker:

I can't think of a more trustworthy group of people to buy a beachfront condo in Afghanistan from.
Seriously, the MSM have been having a great old time linking Trump and Stone to Alex Jones and look all those crazee conspiracy kooks, OMG! Of course, the snobby media elites vastly underestimate how many conspiracy theorists there really are in this country. Unfortunately most of them truly are nuts, and it sets back the cause of legitimate research.

I also feel that baiting Trump as a "conspiracy theorist" would make it more likely for him to declassify certain documents, were he to take the White House, and if he'd developed a sore spot about the topic. You sow what you reap.

It's a pity JVB endorses the story; that means its not true.

Here is a portion about the blog post from Welsh about Ted Cruz's father and his alleged connection to Lee Harvey Oswald:
Anyone who has studied the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has understood the key role Cuban-Americans working for the CIA played in the intelligence community plot to kill Kennedy in Dallas, Texas in 1963. Government disinformation agents immediately played up Lee Harvey Oswald's supposed ties to the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans prior to Kennedy's assassination, which was supposedly a pro-Castro organization created by the Soviet Union. More realistically, it was a CIA front group since most of the people associated with the organization in New Orleans, including Oswald, had all worked for the CIA in some capacity.
Warren Commission records proving Oswald's ties to the CIA and FBI have remained sealed since the release of the Commission's widely-discredited report in 1964 claiming the assassination was the lone work of Oswald.
Reporters looking into the murky background of the Cuban-immigrant father of Sen. Ted Cruz have uncovered a number of inconsistencies in biographical claims in Sen. Cruz's book that his father had fled to the U.S. in 1957 as an insurgent fighting the Batista regime with only a $100 sewn into his underwear. Newly-reported information by independent investigator Wayne Madsen ties Rafael Bienvenido Cruz to Oswald's work for the supposedly pro-Castro group in New Orleans during the summer of 1963.
Madsen claims that one of the Cubans pictured with Oswald handing out pamphlets for Fair Play outside the International Trade Mart in August, 1963 is Rafael Cruz. The ITM's founder, Clay Shaw, worked for the CIA and was the only other man in the U.S. to face criminal charges in connection with the Kennedy assassination, when NOLA district attorney James Garrison brought charges in what he contended was a wide government conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy. Shaw was acquitted of the charges and Garrison humiliated after federal agencies worked hand-in-hand with mainstream media to discredit his case.
Cruz's Cuban father, also named Rafael Cruz, operated an electronic business in Matanzas, Cuba tied to the American company, RCA. While reporters have been able to confirm an instance where the elder Cruz was arrested by Cuban police and brutally beaten, reporters have found no confirmation the arrest had anything to do with work for forces supporting Castro's efforts to overthrow the pro-American Batista regime. After arriving by a ferry boat from Cuba in Key West, Florida in 1957, Cruz' father made his way to Austin, Texas where he managed to enroll at the University of Texas and earn a degree in mathematics in 1961.
