Thank you for your time and good night.

He has also appeared on more than 700 radio and TV talk shows.

Lifting The Veil
by Scott Noble
"The best political film I've seen to date. A must watch if you want to
understand who and what Obama is about, as well as this hypocrisy they call democracy."
"Noble is brilliantly pioneering the new film-making -- incisive analysis,
compelling sound and footage, fearless and independent reporting,
and the aggregation of the best information out there into powerful, educational
and free online feature films – all on a shoestring budget.
His films educate and inform while building the movements needed
for real change at the grassroots. Noble's films are dedicated to democracy;
they fan the flames of non-violent, people-powered revolution."

U
Gotta Read:
LBJ:
The Mastermind
of JFK's Assassination
by Phillip F. Nelson
"... the man should be known for what he was, a world-class criminal."
"... a thorough cleansing of the national conscience is
in order after all of these years to enable Americans to reconcile
the personal tragedy suffered by John F. Kennedy, and the national tragedy
suffered by the country at large, at the hands of Lyndon B. Johnson."
"... until the real story of the 36th president is exposed
and the complete truth of his crimes against the United States
and the world are acknowledged, there will always be questions
lurking about the trustworthiness of the government itself."

Attorney Jim Garrison
on the
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
On January 31, 1968, on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show", Johnny Carson
conducted a lengthy interview with New Orleans District Attorney Jim
Garrison. The purpose of the special interview was to discuss the 1963
assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
My Letter
To Johnny Carson
March 2, 2001
Johnny Carson
c/o Carson Productions Group
3110 Main St.
Suite 200
Santa Monica, CA 90405
Mr. Carson:
Hello.
I am originally from Norfolk, Nebr., graduated from NHS in 1973.
Recently I had a chance to listen to the tape of your interview with attorney Jim Garrison.
I don't recall watching the live interview, but very well could have as watching
your show before bed was our regular routine, as it was for many others.
As a fellow Norfolkan, I am curious as to why you treated Garrison as you did.
I probably will not get the chance to contact you twice, so I will be frank right away.
You sounded as if you were acting as a spokesman for someone else.
Really. Were you protecting the real killers of Kennedy?
Of course, you were. What else can I say, but that it is obvious now
with almost forty years of perspective. The Warren Commission was a joke
and Garrison was on to something. Something frightening to be sure.
But why did you have so much allegiance to the plotters and none to your dead president?
Because he could not pay you from the grave? Is it as simple as that?
Thanks in part to you we have been forced to live in Disneyland since 1963,
where everything is unreal, everything entertainment and illusion.
Please tell me, as I will never know myself: Is wealth and power worth the sublimation of the truth?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Mike Palecek
Johnny Carson's Response:
March 9, 2001
Mike Palecek
702 6th Avenue
Sheldon, Iowa 51201
Dear Mr. Palecek,
I'm sending you a copy of a letter I recently received to make you aware
that some ignorant asshole is sending out letters over your signature.
You should look into this.
Sincerely,
Johnny Carson

For Fear of Being Called
In Peru a demonstration

is stopped
because of threats to denounce
those who demand bread
as terrorists.
How greatly we fear language
an electric cattle prod
to drive us into corners
where we cower
for fear of being called
terrorists or communists or criminals.
How did we allow those who don't give
a damn about how we
the 80 percent live or die
to rob us of our language
to intimidate us into cutting out
our tongues
and binding our limbs into lameness?
How can we be more afraid
to be called terrorists
than to die in the dark
with no one there to speak for us?

Helen Thomas:
When asked whether she believed there was a secret Jewish conspiracy at work in the United States, Thomas stated that it is "not a secret.
It's very open...Everybody is in the pocket of the Israeli lobbies, which are funded by wealthy supporters, including those from Hollywood.
Same thing with the financial markets. There's total control."
