A.S.K. (Assassination Symposium on John F. Kennedy) ~ 1992

Image
The first annual Assassination Symposium on John F. Kennedy (known as the A.S.K. or ASK conference) was held in Dallas in November 1991 . I began examining President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in the late 1950s. Then in the 1960s, I was impacted by JFK's death and read intensively about it.  Much later in my career, as a university fulltime researcher, due to my projects on suicidal psychology in the mid-1980s through early 1990s, I began, concurrently to my university work, to research and write about the alleged "suicides" and mystery deaths of JFK assassination eyewitnesses.  Mary Ferrell (October 26, 1926 - February 20, 2004) Being a friend and correspondent of Mary Elizabeth McHughes Ferrell , who first wrote to me because of my Fortean articles, I was invited to speak on one of the panels ("Strange & Convienient Deaths") at the second A.S.K. conference, and a later one.  I met lots of individuals important to JFK assassination research at the

Goodbye, Arlen

Today is the anniversary of the killing of John F. Kennedy. Here is Arlen Specter (left) as a Warren Commission assistant counsel, during the recreation of the JFK assassination scenario he promoted. I want to use this moment to say goodbye to Arlen Specter .  On May 18, 2010, Pennsylvania Senator Specter was defeated by  Joe Sestak  in  Pennsylvania 's  Democratic   Primary election  54% to 46% (Sestak 564,444 votes to Specter's 481,566). Due to that event, Specter's senate career is scheduled to end on January 3, 2011. One should not be so shallow as to blame a massive coverup like the investigation of the JFK assassination on one person, but the metaphor afforded by the actions of Arlen Specter are worth noting.  Lest we forget, Arlen Specter has been involved in conspiracies for a long time, and Lee Harvey Oswald remains on his mind. Don't take my word for this. Read what he said in 2009. For those who are young, Specter's history is a wisp of smoke. But

Thai Braveheart Assassinated At Triple Overpass

Sometimes, it is all about location, location, location. Read the news more deeply, everyday. Khattiya Sawasdipol (Thai: ขัตติยะ สวัสดิผล; RTGS: Khattiya Sawatdiphon; born: June 2, 1951, assassination shooting: May 13, 2010; died: May 17, 2010), alias Seh Daeng (Thai: เสธ.แดง; RTGS: Se Daeng; English: Red Commander), was a major general in the Royal Thai Army, assigned to the Internal Security Operations Command. The U.K.'s Mirror published the above photo, taken moments after the shooting. Khattiya Sawasdipol was shot in the head (apparently by a sniper) on May 13, 2010, while being interviewed by The New York Times reporter Thomas Fuller while standing at the Sala Daeng Sky Train station, which is literally a triple overpass, near a famed monument. Khattiya had previously claimed he had helped the United States spy on North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and to have taken part in the CIA-financed "Secret War" against the communists in the Plain of Jars, in Laos.
