  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Executive order signed today. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declassification-of-records-concerning-the-assassinations-of-president-john-f-kenned/ By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy and Purpose. More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events. Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay. The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 required all records related to the assassination of President Kennedy to be publicly disclosed in full by October 26, 2017, unless the President certifies that: (i) continued postponement is made necessary by an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations; and (ii) the identifiable harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure. President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, section 5(g)(2)(D), Public Law 102-526, 106 Stat. 3443, 3448–49, codified at 44 U.S.C. 2107 note. I previously accepted proposed redactions from executive departments and agencies (agencies) in 2017 and 2018, but ordered the continued re-evaluation of those remaining redactions. See Temporary Certification for Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 82 Fed. Reg. 50,307–08 (Oct. 31, 2017); Certification for Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 83 Fed. Reg. 19, 157–58 (Apr. 26, 2018). In the Presidential Memorandum of April 26, 2018, I also ordered agencies to re-review each of those redactions over the next 3 years and disclose information that no longer warrants continued withholding under the standard set forth in section 5(g)(2)(D) of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. President Biden issued subsequent certifications with respect to these records in 2021, 2022, and 2023, which gave agencies additional time to review the records and withhold information from public disclosure. See Temporary Certification Regarding Disclosure of Information in Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 86 Fed. Reg. 59,599 (Oct. 22, 2021); Certifications Regarding Disclosure of Information in Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 87 Fed. Reg. 77,967 (Dec. 15, 2022); Certification Regarding Disclosure of Information in Certain Records Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, 88 Fed. Reg. 43,247 (June 30, 2023). I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue. And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Government’s possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest. Sec. 2. Declassification and Disclosure. (a) Within 15 days of the date of this order, the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shall, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Counsel to the President, present a plan to the President for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. (b) Within 45 days of the date of this order, the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shall, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Counsel to the President, review records related to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and present a plan to the President for the full and complete release of these records. Sec. 3. 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 23, 2025.
  6. They do a pepper steak at Sammy's right on 90 in castroville, and also at Cora's on 471. But if you go to Cora's and don't get a big order of nachos, you have made a serious serious mistake.
  7. Good example of what I am referring to. Just total nonsense.
  8. Love the coloring going on on top of that situation.
  9. My dad is a medina valley native and loves a good pepper steak. I told him it was just a stuffed hamburger and he did not seem amused.
  10. Right. Look, most of the posters here are well educated lawyers, physicians, operators, other professionals, etc. We should collectively be able to digest and discuss original source material. A lot of the material that serves as the basis for discussion and reaction here has instead been heavily processed and is just intended to reflect particular perspectives and bias. I assume that the training we all get at an elite institution like UT was not that very dissimilar across disciplines in this regard, and that these should not be foreign concepts to most of us.
  11. Just point out the obvious. That one took like 10 seconds to sniff out.
  12. This is a good example of the unintended consequences of shutting down twitter embeds, which is something that I very much support here. Appears it just leads to some of the particularly brain damaged ones just copy pasting as though they are original thought notions. So incapable of original thought. Legit hope they don't have a UT diploma on the wall.
  13. Hey look, have it your way. They are mostly all just sound bites targeting people with short attention spans. I understand it resonates for many here.
  14. I think that is the right move. I understand the intent to move the content to the platforms infrastructure, that all makes sense. But screen shots of tweets/bs/whatever are still bullshit. Focussing on primary source material is best. But that requires time and energy that most posters will simply not muster.
  15. bluesky embeds should be turned off as well. one step forward, two steps back in the grand scheme of things.
  16. Closed at +33%. Back in the black on that position, lol.
  17. TNXP doing some stonky things again, +23% atm.
  18. Ask McCain.
  19. What do you think about cabrito though?
  20. Really fucking nice in semi soft boiled form though.
  21. I agree. Could bring down my protein and egg budget with a goat or two and a chicken coup on my plot.
  22. The actual real Nazi inclined nationalists that still circulate in Eastern Europe are another matter entirely. Maybe someone gets to addressing that eventually.
  23. If y'all would only focus on the real Nazis in American we could bring down the price of eggs.
  24. Feels like given the current climate, we are going to have to rehash the whole fundamental basis of western civilization.
