Are Russia a mess or super powerful? I can’t keep up.

They are the world's largest country with a large population and massive stocks of gas, oil, raw materials and agricultural land.  

But they squander all of that and are a third world country of you exclude Moscow and St Petersburg from the statistics. 

Moscow thinks its a super-power.  If it didn’t have nukes it wouldn't be.

Yeah kind of what im thinking.  It was good but the view wasnt great from where i was sitting. And was watching the screen alot so whats point 

Also the getting home was the worst thing for me. That was a **** nightmare 

Reading it hasnt sold as well as last year but the tickets have gone on sale alot sooner

Sitting at home I get a better view, cheaper drinks, better food and a more comfortable seat.  Its a no brainer for me. 

I'll only change my mind if they give me a shot at the Championship........extreme rules.  I'm thinking of utilising a shotgun.

If this was staged, and was a CIA operation, why would Oswald want to call anyone once arrested?

Surely they would have made a plan for such a scenario? Would he want to contact CIA following the shooting? 

As I said in my post - your questions can never be answered with any certainty.  We don't even know if he knew the true identity of the person he called.  

But I can think of hundreds of reasons why Oswald would want to call his contacts following his arrest.  

But let me be clear. Oswald killed JFK.  Oswald was involved with the KGB and CIA.  I never said it was a CIA operation because it wasn't.  Oswald acted alone. 

It's hard to equate this to the actions of a sane adult. 

Telling advertisers to " Go **** yourself" and blaming them for destroying a company that he owns by not advertising.  How dare they.

The rifle ownership of the rifle that shot JFK is an interesting story.

Oswald's wife sold it for $5000.    But she did not have it.  It was still held by the US Government.  

The guy who purchased it from her was well aware of this.  He was taking a chance that it would eventually be returned to her.  

The rifle was not returned on the basis that it had been purchased by Oswald using a false document.   

This was challenged in court and the government lost.  There was no legal basis to with-hold an illegally purchased item from the next of kin. 

But it was still not returned.  

Eventually a very clever judge came up with an alternative ruling that sorted out the problem. 

He ruled that Oswald had "discarded" the weapon after the shooting.   He deliberately and intentionally gave up ownership of the gun. 

Therefore it should be treated as all abandoned property.   It becomes the property of the state.

I wonder how much it would have fetched?

we talked about this a few months ago, the more interesting thing for me about the JFK conspiracy is why would it happen rather than how it happened

 

I think you have hit the nail on the head. 

The conspiracy was not to kill JFK.  The conspiracy was to cover the tracks of those who had been engaging with Oswald.

It’s believed the Raleigh call was actually incoming not outgoing , 

 

 

 

I was referring to the Raleigh Call.   I am pretty sure it was 2 outgoing calls attempted by Oswald.   

Quote

Late in the evening of November 23, 1963 as the clock neared midnight in Raleigh, an attempt was allegedly made at the Dallas County jail on behalf of Lee Harvey Oswald to contact one or two phone numbers in the 919 area code.

Geordie Walker of Killing Joke has died.

Murdered by Stan Boardman?

I wrote an essay on the JFK assassination as part of a vocational qualification.

When Oswald was in prison he asked to make 2 phone calls.  These were allowed but he had to go through the operator and ask for the numbers.  The telephonist was told to note the numbers but tell him there was no answer.  She did exactly that.  She completed the log of all call numbers as required. But she kept a rough note she made as a historic souvenir.  

These 2 numbers seemed completely irrelevant. They were 2 numbers of people with the same name who lived in the same town. Oswald had seemingly been unsure which one he wanted to speak to, so had tried both entries in the phone book. Neither seemed to have any relevance. 

Many years later documents regarding an unconnected matter were released to the public.  The documents showed a CIA operative using the same name was deep undercover in the same town. 

But here's where the facts stop........

1. Was the person Oswald tried to phone the undercover CIA operative??

2. Did Oswald know it was a CIA operative or was he contacting his undercover false persona?  

3. Or is this just a coincidence. 

4. Can we establish why he made the call? 

Only Oswald knows the answers but I concluded the following answers. 

1. Yes 99%

2. The false persona. 90%

3. No. 1%

4. No 100%

This is a great example of a conspiracy theory. 

Who knows what Oswald intended to say if he had made contact ?  Would anything of consequence happen subsequently? 

There is no chance of finding that out unless you can find a parallel universe. 

Oswald shot JFK.

Oswald had proven connections with the KGB and CIA. 

Evidence was tampered with for the following reasons. 

1. To disguise Oswald's connection to the CIA.

2. To secure a quick conviction. 

3. To cover people's backs  

4. Common Police practices at that time. 

Oswald was the only shooter.  Why he did it, who helped him and why Ruby killed him will never be known.

Looking to move house, saw a property of interest. Good location but run down and dated and a fixer upper.

It's on for 285k I think.

Now I looked into the history as I presumed an old couple lived there judging by the lack of work on the kitchen, the awful old fashioned carpets and general disrepair.

No, this was bought in 2018 for 220k and looked more modern then.

"We bought a house for 220k, ripped a load of stuff out making it worse, put in horrific carpets and wallpaper, and let the outside areas fall into disrepair, garden a shambles, patio moss filled, veranda moss filled and garage and sheds doors falling apart. Now give me 65k."

It could have been an elderly couple who released the equity in the house in 2018 and continued to live there? 

Surely we should be able to name ships of the Black Sea fleet in next year's Deadpool thread?

A patrol lasts 3 - 4 months. 

They work in pairs and patrol with a sledge and dog team.
