-Lurid Crime Tales-
Oswald - 'Life of a Lone Gunman'
BLUF:
[Free Beacon] The CIA reported those embassy visits back to the FBI, whose agents in Dallas had been loosely monitoring Oswald’s activities. The agents then launched a more earnest search for Oswald, but could not track him down because he was living under an alias and apart from his wife. The FBI was still looking for him when President Kennedy arrived in Dallas six weeks later.

The FBI and CIA badly bungled the Oswald case. The CIA failed to debrief Oswald when he re-defected back to the United States in 1962, despite his threats to turn over military secrets to the Soviets. The CIA was also aware in the fall of 1963 that Castro had given an interview with the Associated Press in which he threatened the lives of American leaders in retaliation for the Kennedy administration’s efforts to eliminate him. Yet the agency did nothing in response to encourage the Secret Service to bolster security for the president. The FBI, for its part, failed to track down Oswald prior to Kennedy’s visit or to enlist the assistance of state and local police in the search. The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president.

The two agencies did not play a role in the assassination but failed to take elementary precautions to prevent it.

#1  The FBI, for its part, failed to track down Oswald prior to Kennedy’s visit or to enlist the assistance of state and local police in the search. The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president.

Amazingly similar to CIA and FBI actions leading up to the Boston Marathon event of April 15, 2013.

#2  The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president.
That obsession on 'right-wing threats' does seem to be a idée fixe of Democratic administrations, doesn't it? Whether they actually exist as a credible threat or not seems irrelevant.

#4  Ref #2: "right wing threats."

When not in play, auto-default to RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA.

#5  Funny how focused this administration is on "right-wing extremism", but this same administration (and the West) just send hugs and kisses and money to the Ukrainian Nazi bastards.

It seems almost religious, doesn't it? Like a Wahabbi wanting to kill all the apostates the Left can never forgive Russia 'betraying' Communism.

#1  "As part of the global warming study." Says all I need to know about this. But I have a few questions. Did they account for the water replenishing the aquafer? Did they account for the dams, 2 gorges dam supposedly slowed the earths rotation? Or is this just a data point for the gates, we hate people, foundation...

Where to find food and water that's safe to eat in the event of a nuclear apocalypse
[Business Insider] Whether it's from a nuclear war between nations or a nuclear power plant meltdown, the risk of radiation raining from the skies is more real than it has been in generations.

In a nuclear apocalyptic-like situation, securing food and water should be one of your first priorities.

But that can be challenging, said Katsumi Shozugawa, a researcher at The University of Tokyo who studied food contamination after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.

"In the event of a major accident at a nuclear power plant, there is concern that food and water could be contaminated by radioactive materials released into the environment from the plant," Shozugawa said.

Radionuclides — tiny radioactive particles that can harm your cells' DNA and cause Acute Radiation Syndrome, Cutaneous Radiation Injuries, and cancer — are most concentrated near the nuclear site.

But they can also be swept into the atmosphere and fall back down miles away, a phenomenon called nuclear fallout. Because of that, there are some basic guidelines for what you should, and should not, eat and drink in the event of a nuclear disaster.
I was born in 1961. As a precaution my father the scientist found tins of evaporated milk that dated to before the nuclear bomb tests. So whatever is wrong with me must be due to something else…

#2  Given High Electromagnetic Pulse devices have already been discovered inside US by various Border Patrol efforts, in the last few months. It promises to get interesting.

Side Note: EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security issued a scary warning on China’s ability to conduct an Electromagnetic Pulse attack on the United States, 3 years ago. Indicating China has developed a drone based electromagnetic pulse weapon with about 100GW power.
In Short, It can fry sections of cities and sections of the US Power Grid.

Of course a Chinese Weather Balloon scenario could also be used to deliver a few also.

Either way, with China supplying a vast majority of all medications, and other items for the USA. Besides a H-EMP attack is not needed to disrupt operations. A simple US embargo of medical supplies would likely result in the deaths of 25 million of the US population in 90 to 120 days, due to related reasons.

#5  #1: Multi-Mineral Supplements -- if you aren't taking them before do so now. Make sure there is a greater chance that radioisotopes are simply excreted instead of being used in your metabolism.

Finally, as a long discussion on a board on Nuclear War I participated on back in the 90's, "Don't sweat the small stuff if you are over 50 because it takes time to get cancer. Save the 'good food' first for females in the child bearing ages and the 'old farts' can eat the rest..."

#6  "whatever is wrong with me must be due to something else". That's what you get for inhaling ever since 1961.

#8  It is important to strike a balance - you want to absorb enough radiation to rapidly mutate in order to adapt to the new environment, but not so much that you croak.
