I am sorry I didn't pass out the "Detectives Claim New Three Tramp Theory" when I first wrote it.

    This Is Guns and Butter. Freemasonry Gets Its Hold In

    This is Guns and Butter. Freemasonry gets its hold in America because it was able to grab on to the American Revolution and say, “We are the antidote to these terrible religious wars. But what they were really doing is they were institutionalizing this rule by a cryptocracy, rule by the secrets-keepers. They were undermining the courts. They were suborning jurors. And so people who were not Freemasons were at a disadvantage. I’m Bonnie Faulkner . Today on Guns and Butter, Michael Hoffman. Today’s show: The Alchemical Processing of Humanity Through Public Psychodrama . Michael Hoffman is a New York native and former reporter for the New York Bureau of the Associated Press. He studied under Faiz abu-Jabir at the State University of New York at Oswego. He is the author of nine books. His most recent is The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome.

    WWhheenn TTrruutthh IIss SSttrraannggeerr TThhaann FFiiccttiioonn… Behind Oliver Stone’s J.F.K. (1991) by Nick Zegarac Disclaimer: For those new to The Hollywood Art, this is not a political series. It is a repository for history and content relating to great motion pictures of the past and present and, on a more personal note, is dedicated to those iconic figures of the silver screen which have brought some special focus and meaning into its’ author’s life. However, the following article involves Oliver Stone’s movie J.F.K (1991), a film and a topic that begs further understanding of the actual events that took place before and after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963. It is my sincere hope that history will not be quick to judge this article as a further contribution in support of mere conspiracy theories, lone gunman mythologies or even fictionalized urban legends that continues to surround that assassination. What follows then is a retrospective of history itself – some will undoubtedly argue, as clouded through the lens of a propagandist film maker, but that this author would suggest derive far more credence, respect and investigation than history has had the time or interest to make clear to the American public to date. It is in support of deriving clarity from the facts as presented in Oliver Stone’s film and through a sincere investigation of other informational and archival materials made available elsewhere, and with the humble and utmost esteem and reverence extended to the Kennedy family, for what is undoubtedly a far more intimate - rather than national - tragedy, that this article appears.

    JFK, Chauncey Holt and the Three 'Tramps'

    JFK, Chauncey Holt and the three ‘tramps’ redux Robin Ramsay The identity of the three ‘tramps’, photographed under police escort in Dallas after the assassination of JFK, is one of the many puzzles in the case. Over the years people have put forward various candidates. For example, the ‘old tramp’ looks rather like the CIA officer Howard Hunt. But only one person ever claimed to have been one of ‘tramps’: the late Chauncey Holt. I got interested in this because it seemed to me, just from reading the material on the Net, that the late Mr Holt is important. Since then I have read his memoir, which contains a number of striking claims, almost none of which can be checked easily and many of which are simply uncheckable because the people concerned are dead. (I discuss his book at the end of this piece.) The one claim he made that seems checkable – perhaps the reason he initially focused on it – is that he was one of the three ‘tramps’. And I did not do enough work, and did not do the subject justice in my first attempt at it.1 So I am back at the ‘tramps’. Looking back at the Holt event, he created some initial interest,2 but that faded. As far as I can tell, he failed to convince a group of JFK researchers when he met them at one of the annual conferences;3 and researchers by then had dealt with other ‘confessions’ which had turned out to be bogus. Then the Dallas police arrest records of three ‘tramps’ 1 The first attempt is at <http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/free/ lobster69/lob69-chauncey-holt.pdf>.

    In the Line of Fire: a Tribute and Discussion About the Assassinations of Judge John H. Wood Jr., Richard J. Daronco, and Robert S

    1 IN THE LINE OF FIRE: A TRIBUTE AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ASSASSINATIONS OF JUDGE JOHN H. WOOD JR., RICHARD J. DARONCO, AND ROBERT S. VANCE M. JACKSON JONES I. INTRODUCTION "Since 1949, in the United States, there have been three known as­ sassinations of federal judges . "1 Each day, there are literally thousands of judges issuing thousands of rulings that affect thousands of lives. Typically, those rulings impact people, businesses, organizations, cities, towns, states, and even the federal government itself. Judges can also be affected by their rulings. The impact of the rulings could run the gambit from praise and admiration to threats and even death. In fact, since 1949, three federal judges have been assassinated.2 This Article will serve as a tribute to those judges-Judge John H. Wood, Jr. ("Judge Wood"), Judge Richard J. Daronco ("Judge Daronco"), and Judge Robert S. Vance ("Judge Vance"). In addition to serving as a tribute to these judges, this Article will also serve as a reminder about the dangers inherent in the judicial profession. Part I will provide brief biographies of Judge Wood, Judge Dar­ onco, and Judge Vance. In addition, this section will also discuss the facts underlying their assassinations. Part II will then provide the reasons why judges become targets of violence. Part III identifies two consequences arising from the assassinations, and the Conclusion will provide a summation of the main points of the Article. 1.
