Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files
Anastasis replied to Anastasis's topic in Cloak Room
I think that this is probably right. But I still think that the materials that are remaining classified don't get at the parties that pulled the trigger, I think that the remaining materials touch on subjects that for are sensitive for whatever reason but centered around foreign countries. It's stuff like the statements of chairman of the records review committee that shape this view. From an article in 2017, for example. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/27/jfk-records-rollout-judge-criticism-244257 The CIA said Thursday that the details it is concerned about include “the names of CIA assets and current and former CIA officers, as well as specific intelligence methods and partnerships that remain viable to protecting the nation today.” Even so, “the President has demanded unprecedented transparency from the agencies and directed them to minimize redactions without delay,” the White House said in a statement. “The National Archives will therefore release more records, with redactions only in the rarest of circumstances, by the deadline of April 26, 2018.” Dismayed assassination scholars and researchers assert that Thursday’s release encompasses only a fraction of what had remained undisclosed in the National Archives. The final batch that scholars have been waiting for total more than 3,100 files that had previously been “withheld in full,” and about 30,000 others that were partially released over the years with some information blacked out. All those documents were collected by Tunheim’s Assassination Records Review Board, which Congress created in 1992 amid the public interest generated by the Oliver Stone film JFK. ,,,, Tunheim said he believes that the CIA and FBI are probably most concerned that the documents could reveal secret relationships with foreign countries. -
Another intelligence agency shifts their assessment. Now doe, fbi, and cia all lean lab leak. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/us/politics/cia-covid-lab-leak.html? C.I.A. Now Favors Lab Leak Theory to Explain Covid’s Origins A new analysis that began under the Biden administration is released by the C.I.A.’s new director, John Ratcliffe, who wants the agency to get “off the sidelines” in the debate.

Cause that would amount to a human rights abuse.

Yeah, a few of the SEC filings on the Costco website indicate the same. If the tone of the two SEC filings are consistent with the reporting proposal, it makes a whole lot of sense why 98% voted it down. I wish I still held COST. I moved out of a COVID era position prior to run up in 2024, but I think that is a really well run company.

Can you post the text of the article? It was behind a paywall for me.

What does report on the potential risk mean? What specifically was being ask for? If the shareholders voted against even assessing the risks and the outcomes of the programs, that is a pretty right out repudiation of the proposal. What think tank was pushing the vote?

Indians get royally fucked under the current system. I have had the discuss a few times with one of my guys and their green card process is incomprehensible. He's close to the top of the list (as I understand it) and his kids are all very young, but for those with kids in the teenage years it could get to be a very dicey situation as they near 18 if the parent isn't on a landing approach to citizenship.

Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files

I don't think that any of this gets proved up by the information that may be released. But I appreciate you putting this out there for discussion. Do you think that there was any foreign entity involvement? -
Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files

Keep going, of course. Appears that there will be a couple different phases to the plan and then information hopefully coming out. Just be careful because apparently if you are interested in seeing or discussing this information you are clearly just a gluttonous consumer of russia state media. -
TNXP stonking again today, +27% atm. Hell of a run this week.

Thanks for linking the CRS piece. From that document, the various concepts of "jurisdiction" as the focus of the debate here seems distinct from legal jurisdiction in the sense of one being subject to the states ability to prosecute a murder. But in reality I think that's all a side show. If you want to fundamentally change the interpretation of the 14th Amendment as it is being applied, it should be amended through the appropriate process. “Ascriptive” versus “Consensual” Conceptions of Citizenship What is generally considered the majority view, embodied in applicable law and policy, is that the Fourteenth Amendment does require U.S. citizenship to be automatically conferred on “[a]ll persons born … in the United States”; and that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” excludes from that general rule only certain common-law-based exceptions to the jus soli doctrine, for those born in the United States to foreign diplomats, hostile occupying forces, or members of recognized Indian tribes. Legally, the “jurisdiction” referred to by the Citizenship Clause is territorial jurisdiction, which is the power of a sovereign to enforce its laws within its territorial limits.104 This conventional interpretation has been called the “ascriptive” view (at least by some opponents) because it determines citizenship by the objective geographical circumstances of a person’s birth.105 On the other side, some argue that the Fourteenth Amendment does not require U.S. citizenship to be automatically granted to persons born in the United States to aliens, especially those aliens who are present unlawfully or who are domiciled elsewhere.106 The core of this argument is that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was intended to codify a limitation on the birthright citizenship principle that, in the words of two of its early proponents, “demanded a more or less complete, direct power by government over the individual, and a reciprocal relationship between them at the time of birth, in which the government consented to the individual’s presence and status and offered him complete protection.”107 The “jurisdiction” referred to by the Citizenship Clause, in this view, is a more “complete” jurisdiction that entails undivided allegiance.108 This opposing view has been called the “consensual” approach, as its proponents would “make political membership a product of mutual consent by the polity and the individual.”109 In short, as one of the aforementioned Hamdi v. Rumsfeld amicus brief argued unsuccessfully before the Supreme Court in 2004, “t is not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.”110 It is 104 See United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 683-686 (1898) (analyzing The Schooner Exchange v. McFaddon, 11 U.S. (7 Cranch) 116 (1812)); see also, e.g., Dellinger, supra footnote 18; Robert E. Mensel, Jurisdiction in Nineteenth Century International Law and its generally acknowledged that opposition to the conventional interpretation is the minority viewpoint.111

Can you unpack that for me. FTR, imo the proper way to address any concerns re: birthright citizenship is through the constitutional amendment process. Bad precedent to set if EOs can be used to meaningful alter the common interpretation of an existing amendment. If there are problems in interpreting and applying the amendment, it should be clarified via the appropriate process.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-hear-states-bid-block-trump-birthright-citizenship-order-2025-01-23/ "I am having trouble understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this order is constitutional," the judge told a U.S. Justice Department lawyer defending Trump's order. "It just boggles my mind." The states argued that Trump's order violated the right enshrined in the citizenship clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment that provides that anyone born in the United States is a citizen.

PROTECTING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP EXECUTIVE ORDER January 20, 2025 By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. The Fourteenth Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” That provision rightly repudiated the Supreme Court of the United States’s shameful decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), which misinterpreted the Constitution as permanently excluding people of African descent from eligibility for United States citizenship solely based on their race. But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text. Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth. Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth. (b) Subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order. (c) Nothing in this order shall be construed to affect the entitlement of other individuals, including children of lawful permanent residents, to obtain documentation of their United States citizenship. Sec. 3. Enforcement. (a) The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Commissioner of Social Security shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the regulations and policies of their respective departments and agencies are consistent with this order, and that no officers, employees, or agents of their respective departments and agencies act, or forbear from acting, in any manner inconsistent with this order. (b) The heads of all executive departments and agencies shall issue public guidance within 30 days of the date of this order regarding this order’s implementation with respect to their operations and activities. Sec. 4. Definitions. As used in this order: (a) “Mother” means the immediate female biological progenitor. (b) “Father” means the immediate male biological progenitor. Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. THE WHITE HOUSE, January 20, 2025.

Section 1 All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files
Anastasis replied to Anastasis's topic in Cloak Room
Hagbard, do you think that the existing redactions get at this stuff? I don't. I am legit curious as to what you think the remaining redactions are related to. I don't think any of the JFK stuff has anything to do with the actual assassination. The MLK stuff is going to be really fucked up though. I feel pretty good on that. Cause well, you know. -
Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files
Anastasis replied to Anastasis's topic in Cloak Room
Legit may update my avatar, cause that is hilarious. But it doesn't really require a tin foil hat to take the position that all of the documents related to these assassinations should have been released a long time ago. There is no legitimate reason for them to remain classified. I don't think that they are going to show anything new, which only leaves curiosity into what exactly it is that the government thinks that they need to shield your eyes from. If there is anything damaging here, I think it comes from the MLK files. So let's see. -
Declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Files
Anastasis replied to Anastasis's topic in Cloak Room
Just like pulling a red ball out of a bag. I don't think that I have registered any opinion on this one. I happy to see any related materials declassified, but for a variety of reasons I don't think that there will be anything revelatory here. Of the three I think that the MLK FBI files could be the most interesting. Maybe we get more insights into the absolutely vile and disgusting shit that the FBI did to MLK. -
