This was preceded by a very important article by Harrison Salisbury, �Gentlemen Killers of the CIA� in the May 1975 issue of Penthouse Magazine. Salisbury makes clear his role of meeting with Allen Dulles and other CIA officials and the imparting of information. Bernstein�s article (Part One of this series) goes more into detail about the role of reporters as covert agents. In Joan Mellen�s A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK�s Assassination, and the Case that Should Have Changed History, she documents the disinformation campaign against Jim Garrison that had been orchestrated by Robert Kennedy and the FBI. This disinformation campaign about the critics of the official fiction of the JFK assassination is continuing to this day with attacks on A Farewell to Justice and the publication of Ultimate Sacrifice by Lamar Waldren and Tom Hartman, published by Carolyn Graff, publisher of many JFK assassination books, a campaign getting much press attention and obscuring, hiding, and transforming the role of the CIA in the JFK assassination. In the Watergate case, Carl Bernstein was fed a lot of information by covert source �Deep Throat.� As Mellen documents, he was one of the primary people trying to destroy the reputation of Jim Garrison and hide the work he was doing in revealing the role of the CIA in the assassination. She writes, �The decades-long campaign to silence Jim Garrison included the participation even of Deep Throat himself. Hardly interested in the truth, as those who laud him for providing guidance to Bob Woodward would suggest, on the matter of the JFK assassination, he is revealed in documents to have been an open enemy of free inquiry, no less than a convicted felon specializing in FBI black bag jobs. W. Mark Phelps was among those in the government attempting to sabotage Jim Garrison�s investigation. An FBI document of March 2, 1967, the day after Jim Garrison arrested Clay Shaw, has an investigator named H.L. Edwards reporting to Phelps on scurrilous rumors that might be employed to undermine Garrison and his investigation.� The equivalent of Walter Cronkite of CBS was Harrison J. Salisbury of the NY Times. Chief foreign correspondent, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, he was considered an impeccable ruling-class figure of great journalistic esteem. He approached the Bertrand Russell Foundation with regard to US mainstream journalists gaining access to Hanoi at the time of the saturation bombing there. The Foundation had been asked by the Vietnamese to clear those journalists who we estimated could provide some kind of indication of what the Foundation was documenting in the War Crimes Tribunal at the time. There were a number of meetings with Salisbury and it was clear that, reflecting that the ruling class was traumatized by their defeat in Viet Nam, they were looking for a way out. What emerged out of all of this was �The Gentlemen Killers of the CIA,� which was an absolutely extraordinary document in almost every respect. Not only does Harrison Salisbury detail that described above, he describes the relationships with Allen Dulles and the people at the CIA, the dinners at the posh clubs, the furnishings and the elegant service and the waiters, and he says, �The real face of the CIA is the man with the angle iron, the enforcer, neither the tweedy man nor the organization man wields the angle iron or the silence revolver himself. The enforcer is hired help, for the most part in the Mafia. There is a difference: the Mafia enforcer is killing for profit, he is trying to establish a monopoly for the family; the CIA men who use these people, those in the tweeds or grey flannels, have been convinced that they are acting in their own national and class interests, the old red, white, and blue but the bottom line at the CIA is blackmail, the squeeze, and the necessary killer. The CIA men feel no remorse over the killing of Premier Mossadegh of Iran or of Che Guevara. In the first place, these are targets; in the second place, the killing is done by those they instruct.� This is an extraordinary document and it goes to the very issue of the Kennedy Assassination itself to which Harrison Salisbury alludes in many respects. In a CIA document revealed in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, CIA Instructions to Media Assets, April 1, 1967, Document 1035-960, marked �Psych� for �psychological operations,� in the Dept. of CS, or clandestine services, also known as the �dirty tricks� department. It was discovered in 1977, year of the Bernstein article for Rolling Stone. Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report CIA Document #1035-960 RE: Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report 1. Our Concern. From the day of President Kennedy's assassination on, there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder. Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission report, (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various writers have now had time to scan the Commission's published report and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission's findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably as a result of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission's report, a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results. 2. This trend of opinion is a matter of concern to the U.S. government, including our organization. The members of the Warren Commission were naturally chosen for their integrity, experience and prominence. They represented both major parties, and they and their staff were deliberately drawn from all sections of the country. Just because of the standing of the Commissioners, efforts to impugn their rectitude and wisdom tend to cast doubt on the whole leadership of American society. Moreover, there seems to be an increasing tendency to hint that President Johnson himself, as the one person who might be said to have benefited, was in some way responsible for the assassination. Innuendo of such seriousness affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole reputation of the American government. Our organization itself is directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments. 3. Action. We do not recommend that discussion of the assassination question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where discussion is active [business] addresses are requested: a. To discuss the publicity problem with [?] and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation. b. To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose. The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passing to assets. Our ploy should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (I) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (I) politically interested, (III) financially interested, (IV) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (V) infatuated with their own theories. In the course of discussions of the whole phenomenon of criticism, a useful strategy may be to single out Epstein's theory for attack, using the attached Fletcher [?] article and Spectator piece for background. (Although Mark Lane's book is much less convincing that Epstein's and comes off badly where confronted by knowledgeable critics, it is also much more difficult to answer as a whole, as one becomes lost in a morass of unrelated details.) 4. In private to media discussions not directed at any particular writer, or in attacking publications which may be yet forthcoming, the following arguments should be useful: a. No significant new evidence has emerged which the Commission did not consider. The assassination is sometimes compared (e.g., by Joachim Joesten and Bertrand Russell) with the Dreyfus case; however, unlike that case, the attack on the Warren Commission have produced no new evidence, no new culprits have been convincingly identified, and there is no agreement among the critics. (A better parallel, though an imperfect one, might be with the Reichstag fire of 1933, which some competent historians (Fritz Tobias, AJ.P. Taylor, D.C. Watt) now believe was set by Vander Lubbe on his own initiative, without acting for either Nazis or Communists; the Nazis tried to pin the blame on the Communists, but the latter have been more successful in convincing the world that the Nazis were to blame.) b. Critics usually overvalue particular items and ignore others. They tend to place more emphasis on the recollections of individual witnesses (which are less reliable and more divergent--and hence offer more hand-holds for criticism) and less on ballistics, autopsy, and photographic evidence. A close examination of the Commission's records will usually show that the conflicting eyewitness accounts are quoted out of context, or were discarded by the Commission for good and sufficient reason. c. Conspiracy on the large scale often suggested would be impossible to conceal in the United States, esp. since informants could expect to receive large royalties, etc. Note that Robert Kennedy, Attorney General at the time and John F. Kennedy's brother, would be the last man to overlook or conceal any conspiracy. And as one reviewer pointed out, Congressman Gerald R. Ford would hardly have held his tongue for the sake of the Democratic administration, and Senator Russell would have had every political interest in exposing any misdeeds on the part of Chief Justice Warren. A conspirator moreover would hardly choose a location for a shooting where so much depended on conditions beyond his control: the route, the speed of the cars, the moving target, the risk that the assassin would be discovered. A group of wealthy conspirators could have arranged much more secure conditions. d. Critics have often been enticed by a form of intellectual pride: they light on some theory and fall in love with it; they also scoff at the Commission because it did not always answer every question with a flat decision one way or the other. Actually, the make-up of the Commission and its staff was an excellent safeguard against over-commitment to any one theory, or against the illicit transformation of probabilities into certainties. e. Oswald would not have been any sensible person's choice for a co-conspirator. He was a "loner," mixed up, of questionable reliability and an unknown quantity to any professional intelligence service. f. As to charges that the Commission's report was a rush job, it emerged three months after the deadline originally set. But to the degree that the Commission tried to speed up its reporting, this was largely due to the pressure of irresponsible speculation already appearing, in some cases coming from the same critics who, refusing to admit their errors, are now putting out new criticisms. g. Such vague accusations as that "more than ten people have died mysteriously" can always be explained in some natural way e.g.: the individuals concerned have for the most part died of natural causes; the Commission staff questioned 418 witnesses (the FBI interviewed far more people, conduction 25,000 interviews and re interviews), and in such a large group, a certain number of deaths are to be expected. (When Penn Jones, one of the originators of the "ten mysterious deaths" line, appeared on television, it emerged that two of the deaths on his list were from heart attacks, one from cancer, one was from a head-on collision on a bridge, and one occurred when a driver drifted into a bridge abutment.) 5. Where possible, counter speculation by encouraging reference to the Commission's Report itself. Open-minded foreign readers should still be impressed by the care, thoroughness, objectivity and speed with which the Commission worked. Reviewers of other books might be encouraged to add to their account the idea that, checking back with the report itself, they found it far superior to the work of its critics. Back to top bacasperJoined: 26 Mar 2007 Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 6:27 pm Post subject: Part Three Although the foregoing CIA Instructions to Media Assets was written in 1967, it reflects what is going on today, 40 years later. It instructs its assets to label critics and people who have exposed evidence of the role of the Central Intelligence Agency as instruments and dupes of the KGB. This is the precise fashion in which CIA Director Richard Helms, speaking to the US Senate, specified that Paese Sera, the Italian newspaper, was an instrument of KGB propaganda, in direct relation to instructions about attacking those who are exposing their role in the assassination of Kennedy. From the foregoing, let�s take a look at �4e. Oswald would not have been any sensible person's choice for a co-conspirator. He was a "loner," mixed up, of questionable reliability and an unknown quantity to any professional intelligence service.� This has been debunked over and over in A Farewell to Justice in which author Joan Mellen shows Oswald�s relation to not just one but three intelligence agencies: the FBI, CIA, and US Customs. Let�s look at how today, the counterattack by the CIA, using media assets, book reviews, features, and actual books are putting out the disinformation that this is generated deliberately by Communist propagandists, and that there is false information and attacking the veracity and credibility of the critics of the official fiction. We�ll take a look at some of these reviews. In 1967, the Italian newspaper, Paese Sera, which is a daily with a large circulation, a paper of the independent left but not of the Communist Party (it would have every right to be but it wasn�t), it was not Unita, it was roughly the equivalent in Italian political terms of The Nation magazine ironically enough. Paese Sera was concerned about something that was preoccupying the entire broad left and intelligentsia in Italy, namely the known collaboration of military and intelligence services, notably that apparatus of Mussolini that was alive and well in those services with the CIA pursuant to a putsch or a military coup in Italy, as had in fact unfolded in Greece. Paese Sera launched an extensive 6-month investigation that Ralph Schoenman, Director of the Who Killed Kennedy Committee, and Executive Director of the Bertrand Russell Foundation, was involved with that uncovered proprietary organizations of the CIA collaborating with the military and intelligence services in Italy. Specifically, something called Centro Mondiale Commerciale, (CMC) or World Trade Mart, and another industrial exposition called Permanent Industrial Expositions, or PERMINDEX. The documentation that flowed from this investigative work led to the expulsion of these organizations from Italy. They then set up business in South Africa. Beyond that, one of its key directors was a man named Clay Shaw, a director of PERMINDEX and CMC. Clay Shaw, persona non grata now in Italy, goes back to New Orleans and the International Trade Mart. In 1967, Ralph Schoenman took these articles and the investigative work of George Oconti and others in Paese Sera. They translated it and sent it to Jim Garrison, then District Attorney of New Orleans. Garrison had already proceeded with his investigation of Clay Shaw and his role in the CIA prior to receiving the Paese Sera material. That was based upon his discovery of the relationship with Clay Shaw, Oswald, and the nexus of the planning for the assassination of Kennedy located at 531 Kemp St. in New Orleans which was the other side of 531 Lafayette Street, the catty-corner entrances to the offices of Guy Bannister. Bannister had been the Director of the FBI, a CIA operative, deeply involved with Oswald, Ruby, Clay Shaw, and a CIA pilot named David Ferrie. A Farewell to Justice, which took up the investigation of Garrison, taking it far beyond where Garrison was able to go in his lifetime, not only establishes the organizing role in the assassination of these CIA figures but with the documents and interviews with 1200 witnesses, makes indisputable the evidence, the witness testimony about the very architecture of the Kennedy assassination itself. Immediately upon the exposure of this material, a campaign was launched in coordination with Richard Helms and the CIA to label this information as disinformation supplied by the KGB, the secret services of the Soviet state. Paese Sera was called simply a conduit for the KGB. Max Holland is on the editorial board of The Nation magazine. He proceeds to write a series of articles in Wilson Quarterly and various New Orleans publications and on the internet in which he sets forth the thesis that Jim Garrison and the investigation of the role of the CIA in the assassination of Kennedy are responsible for the loss of faith in government, for the entire radicalization of the 60�s, the disillusionment of an entire generation in the bona fides of their government by imputing to the CIA responsibility for the assassination of Kennedy. In this series of documents, he asserts this was KGB propaganda, Garrison was a paranoid and a dupe, and the entire architecture of the assassination was disinformation from the KGB. That theme is continued today in a series of unrelenting attacks on A Farewell to Justice orchestrated by Max Holland and a clone of his, Mel Ayton, based in Britain, who regurgitate the Big Lie about the KGB. Ayton puts himself forward as an expert on the Kennedy assassination as author of books such as Questions of Conspiracy that he published after a conversation with Arlen Specter, although nobody ever heard of this guy and now he comes forward as an �expert.� His bio says he provides expertise on the Kennedys to the BBC, leading one to wonder about the scholarship of BBC programming. Mel Ayton uses the tactic of accept a fabrication and then compound that fabrication. And the original fabrication is what he calls Max Holland�s debunking of the Italian newspaper story (referring to Paese Sera), and the Max Holland article is the lie that linked the CIA to the Kennedy assassination. As seen earlier in "Instructions to Media Assets," a prime CIA tactic against bringing out the truth about the Kennedy assassination is to say that the criticisms of the official fiction are generated by the KGB, as Max Holland does who is on the Editorial Board of The Nation magazine and writes for the CIA. He applies these tactics today, particularly in relation to Joan Mellen�s A Farewell to Justice and to Paese Sera. Holland, who is published on the CIA�s website, says that the criticisms of the Warren Report are being generated by Communist propagandists, or KGB. In Joan Mellen�s A Farewell to Justice, she meticulously exposes the function and role of Max Holland. In the Wilson Quarterly Spring 2001, Holland hangs all responsibility for �America�s loss of faith in public institutions on Jim Garrison.� Holland continues: �Shaw�s terrible miscarriage of justice trial had immense consequences for the political culture of the US. Of all of the legacies of the 1960�s, none has been more unambiguously negative in the American public�s corrosive cynicism toward the federal government. Though that attitude is commonly traced to the disillusioning experiences of VietNam and Watergate, its genesis actually lies in the aftermath of the JFK assassination, before antiwar protests were common. Dissatisfaction with the official verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone brought into a widespread conviction that the federal government was incompetent or suppressing the truth, a fiendishly clever operation of the Russian KGB, a clever conspiracy successful in seducing the public because of the gullibility of a vainglorious dupe, Jim Garrison. The KGB slipped a bogus story into a crypto-Communist newspaper Paese Sera,� and the beat goes on with Max Holland. Of course, it has been established that Jim Garrison had already begun the prosecution of Clay Shaw prior to the Paese Sera material. What the Paese Sera investigation unfolded is nothing less than Operation Gladio and P2, the 40-year clandestine murder and terror campaign, including the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, the bombing of the Bologna train station in 1984, and all of the various killings and terror operations imputed to the Red Brigades and the left which were all in fact the CIA�s own doing. Operation Gladio is not particular to Italy, it is generalized throughout Europe. There is book after book now as well as a series in The Guardian that has confirmed and corroborated this. The Italian Parliament has corroborated this. This heart and soul of CIA destabilization and terror apparatus operation internal to Italy, THAT is what Paese Sera was concerned with and uncovering and investigating. The Kennedy assassination was the last thing on their minds. What came out of their investigations fortuitously was the cover organizations for those operations in Italy that turn out to be part of PERMINDEX. PERMINDEX and Centro Mondiale Comerciale are linked not only to the murder of JFK but, as the Paese Sera series reveals, it embraced as well the CIA plots to assassinate Charles DeGaulle. One of the points about Richard Helms, the CIA Director (who was convicted of perjury after he lied about the overthrow and murder of Salvador Allende in Chile), that Max Holland on behalf of the CIA attempts to assert is that it is Paese Sera that was responsible for the fiction about the role of the CIA in the plots to assassinate Charles DeGaulle. Holland is referring to Richard Helms� testimony before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on June 2, 1961. Documentation about the role of PERMINDEX in the plans to assassinate Charles DeGaulle, the collusion and the meetings between Gen. Shaul (sp?) and Jacques Chinstelle (sp?) of the OAS in Algeria and the CIA, the plans to remove Charles DeGaulle (in essence, to assassinate him) were documented by French intelligence and published by L�Express magazine in France. Here is a particular irony about Mr. Holland: The Nation magazine in the U.S. exhaustively exposed the CIA�s attempts to assassinate Charles DeGaulle and PERMINDEX�s involvement in these very operations. It was Paese Sera that picked up on this from the publications in France and related it to what was taking place in Italy at the time. To this very minute this is relevant because the internet is now flooded with Max Holland and his associate Mel Ayton�s unbridled attacks on Joan Mellen as a disinformation dupe, spreading Communist propaganda and advertising the paranoid Jim Garrison�s investigation into the role of the CIA in the Kennedy killing.Last edited by bacasper on Mon Apr 07, 2008 6:47 am; edited 2 times in total Back to top bacasperJoined: 26 Mar 2007 Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 6:34 pm Post subject: Part Four Also in the Mel Ayton review is something that goes back to the Carl Bernstein�s �The CIA and The Media� article (Part 1). In the NY Times of Dec. 11, 2005 was an important article by Jeff Gerth, �Military�s Information War Is Vast and Often Secretive� which discussed the campaign of the Pentagon, another intelligence agency, to create media throughout Iraq and Afghanistan and is a model for what the intelligence agencies have been doing throughout the world and in the US, too. Part of the Ayton article is this statement: �Branding authors who reject JFK conspiracy theories as CIA assets is Mellen�s favorite smear tactic in the book. It�s a common tool used by JFK conspiracy writers. It�s also McCathyite in nature.� Don Bohning, a former Miami Herald reporter and author of The Castro Obsession, is incensed with references made by Mellen that he was a CIA-sponsored reporter. Bohning said in emails he �never took a cent from the CIA.� He acknowledges therefore his relationship with the CIA. He was also outraged with the implication, along with the terms �writer asset� and �utilized,� in his email of March 10, 2005 to author Joan Mellen. �Top editors at the Herald were well aware and approved of my contacts with the CIA during the 1960�s.� It is very interesting to look at the CIA file of Donald Dean Bohning, who is without a doubt, one of the primary CIA assets. As Mellen writes, �CIA-linked Bohning was the Latin American editor for the Miami Herald and, as shown in these documents, was a top-level CIA informant with the code name AM Carbon-3. He worked at the Miami Herald, according to the CIA, since 1959 and became Latin American editor in March 1967.� This is not only in Mellen�s book. Mellen and we at Taking Aim Radio have in our hands the very CIA documents designated as �Secret� dated June 14, 1968 that designate Donald Dean Bohning as AM Carbon-3. That is AM Carbon-3 who is not just a CIA operative in Miami but he is doing undercover operations for the CIA. He has Covert Security Approval. Here is one example: One of the investigators for Jim Garrison in attempting to establish the architecture of the JFK assassination was Carl McNabb. He went under the name of Jim Rose. Rose went to Miami to see Donald Dean Bohning on Aug. 21, 1967. He was engaged in an investigation for Jim Garrison at the time tracking down none other than Rolando Mas Ferrer, the Battista torturer who evidence showed was one of the shooters in the Kennedy assassination. Without going into all the particulars about Jim Rose�s investigation, when he approached Bohning he gave his name as Winston Smith on March 28, 1968. Immediately a full report is provided to the CIA, and we have the CIA documents by Bohning not only on what Winston Smith/Jim Rose/Carl McNabb was investigating but on what to do about the investigation and how to stop the investigation with references to some of the figures who had to be matters of concern. Col. L. Robert Castor met with Jack Ruby and Perrin in Dallas. All of the particulars of the investigation into the apparatus that was engaged in the actual shooting of Kennedy that we were on track in uncovering that Carl McNabb/Jim Rose was zoning in on for Jim Garrison at the time, and Boning gives not only a heads up to the CIA but an operational plan for stopping it. Mellen has documented this in the book as part of the extraordinary, revelatory material that shows the role of the CIA in the murder of John F. Kennedy. It also particularly shows the role of media in servicing the CIA�s operations. Right at this moment as you are reading this we have Mel Ayton and Max Holland on the attack accusing Joan Mellen of slandering Boning, accusing all of us of inventing this when we have the documents in hand. They are �smoking gun� documents. Remember, Bohning acknowledges that he was an asset for the CIA. Whether or not he took money form the CIA or was paid by the Miami Herald is not the issue. This is a man who was working with the CIA and moreover, he lets us know that the top editors of the Miami Herald were aware of and approved of his work with the CIA, the man who was the Latin American editor for the Miami Herald in the late 1960�s. He was working with JMWave which was one of the operations for the assassination of Castro. This is the murder apparatus in which these media assets are fully in bed. Another form of disinformation is revealed in a review written on amazon.com by Andrew Johnson, of California, USA, of A Farewell to Justice called �A Farewell to Scholarship.� A form of disinformation is to put out a piece of false information as truth while accusing an author of falsifying, or fabricating, their scholarship. Andrew Johnson is a pseudonym, a cohort of the Max Holland/Mel Ayton group. (By the way, Mel Ayton works with Front Page, the vehicle of David Horowitz, who is just to the right of Genghis Khan.) David Horowitz was brought to London. He was a research director for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. He was a �red diaper� baby. He wrote Free World Colossus. For him the sun shone out of a particular aperture of Stalin�s anatomy. Since he is now in his apostasy, he equates socialism with that Stalinist regime. He did it at the time; he does it now, except now he does it for the CIA band of disinformation specialists. What do they do? They zero in on A Farewell to Justice and engage in the same character assassination of Joan Mellen that they undertook and continue to do with Jim Garrison. From Andrew Johnson�s review on Amazon.com: �It would take a book of equal length to list the inaccuracies and errors Mellen has made but, just as a random example, let us take her contention on p. 236 that James Kirkwood, the author of American Grotesque and who covered the Shaw trial for Playboy magazine, drove to Clinton, La, with Hugh Aynesworth and William Gurvitch.� (James Kirkwood who wrote American Grotesque, which was an attack on Jim Garrison, and Hugh Aynesworth, a reporter for Newsweek and Dallas Morning News, are media assets themselves. They were engaged in threatening the witnesses, attempting to bribe them, of making clear to them that they would suffer a very severe fate unless they recanted their testimony. They were instruments for the destruction of the investigation and for the role of the Agency in covering its tracks.) Let�s return to the quotation bearing upon Joan Mellen�s investigation in Clinton, La of the presence there of Clay Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald, and David Ferrie, the CIA pilot. This is dynamite what she has unfolded here. You have the conspirators together in the planning of the assassination and the full meaning of what they were doing is laid out in the book. �Hugh Aynesworth and William Gurvich in an attempt to interview (and bribe) a number of Garrison's prospective witnesses. When one finally finds the source for this contention in her endnotes (which is helpfully referenced as being on "p. 235"), one discovers that the origin for this incident is taken from Kirkwood's book itself. If a quick cross-check is made with American Grotesque, the reader will soon discover that Kirkwood makes no such claim at all. He clearly states that "Hugh Aynesworth of Newsweek told me a story that casts some doubt on these Country Folk," and then quotes a lengthy written account, made by Aynesworth and given to him ... Mellen has clearly mis-read or mis-represented this account as Kirkwood's own.� The article goes on to accuse Mellen of fiction posing as fact because, he states, Kirkwood never went to Clinton and his book establishes that he never went to Clinton, Kirkwood was never in Clinton, LA according to the representations of this Andrew Johnson. Here is the book American Grotesque by James Kirkwood, p. 220: �I asked Bill Gurvitch to go with me [this is to Clinton]. 2/3 of the names on the list were unknown to Gurvitch. In other words, they had come forth more than five months after the hearing of Clay Shaw. Gurvitch and I drove to Clinton, La. in his car following the visit with the top Louisiana State Police official in Baton Rouge.� On p. 222, the same confirmation: �Not only was Kirkwood, we went to see Cory Collins, leader of an effort to register African-Americans to vote in the teeth of the Klan�s threats and destruction of the civil rights movement in Clinton, La.� Cory Collins was one of the witnesses of the presence of Shaw and Lee Harvey Oswald and Ferrie together in Clinton at the time. In their meeting and attempts to put Oswald into a mental hospital, albeit as an employee, where he could later be presented a nut case as part of the planning of the assassination itself. That was how they would get him in, but as the Director Frank Silva made clear to Mellen, that was Step One. �A deputy took us to his house and barged right in and sat down in the living room as Collins� father Emmett looked at the three of us with fear in his eyes. He goes into the particulars of how they sought to intimidate these witnesses.� �Snowball� Collins as they called the father of Cory Collins was in fact a man with jet-black hair. He never had white hair. Leaving aside the disinformation that is replete in these CIA accounts, the gravamen of this is as follows: this all-out attack on Joan Mellen currently on amazon.com continues �Ms. Mellen's overall fiction-posing-as-fact is symptomatic of the type of error that occurs on almost every page of the book. Careless and stupid errors and presumptions that a serious and objective historian or biographer could never make.� This is the paradigm of what the CIA set out as to what is to be done with media critics of the Kennedy Assassination.

I believe there is a reason to finally bringing this case out in the open with a fair judicial hearing. As you know, it has never got one. The Grand Jury Project would be heard in a federal court either in Dallas or Washington and would provide once and for all, a fair hearing of the matter where witnesses and documents would be compelled, under penalty of law, to come forward in the matter. Introduction If there is ever any resolution to the political assassinations and civil rights murders of the 50s and 60s, Federal grand juries are likely to play a central role in these investigations, just as they did in the investigation of the assassination on Embassy Row, Medgar Evers, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa. This article explains how grand juries can be used in these types of investigations. It also seeks to demystify the grand jury, the least understood and most secretive component of the American justice system. And it outlines some of the challenges involved in conducting such an investigation. Why use a grand jury? Why can�t federal agents just conduct the investigation? Federal grand juries do two things: They investigate to determine if federal crimes have been committed; and they indict, or bring criminal charges against, those whom the grand jury believes committed federal crimes. To indict, the grand jurors must have probable cause to believe the persons indicted did violate federal criminal law. Grand juries offer prosecutors several advantages in conducting a criminal investigation, especially a high-profile, factually complicated investigation. For one thing, grand juries operate in secret; this not only gives prosecutors the ability to shield the evidence they are gathering from disclosure to the press and others, it can also encourage people to cooperate with a grand jury. Unless a witness reveals that he or she testified before a federal grand jury, no one ever needs to know that occurred, and since the transcripts of grand jury testimony are secret, no one will know what the witness said. This can be an advantage in an investigation, such as an investigation into political assassination, organized crime or terrorism, where witnesses may be afraid of retaliation if they cooperate with investigators. Grand juries also give prosecutors the power to subpoena witnesses and evidence from around the country and, in some circumstances, from other countries, as well. If federal agents want to interview someone, the person can refuse to speak to them; this is true even if the person is arrested as a material witness, because persons who are arrested can invoke the Miranda rights to silence and to an attorney. The U.S. Supreme Court has held, however, that the Miranda rights are not available to witnesses subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. Unlike someone being interrogated by federal agents, a grand jury witness not only has not right to silence or counsel, he or she is required to answer questions posed by the prosecutor working with the grand jury and by the grand jurors. A grand jury witness can refuse to answer if he or she can invoke the Fifth Amendment as to a question, but the privilege must be claimed as to each question and the prosecutor can challenge a witness' ability to invoke the privilege. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=8326&hl= Back to top bacasperJoined: 26 Mar 2007 Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 5:45 am Post subject: Part II of How to Create an Angry American begins with a demonstration of how Bush and Rumsfeld lied to get us into Iraq, then traces things back to the founding of the Federal Reserve all the way up through 9/11 and the CFR.

Any discussion on this event will certainly have to confront Kaiser's scholarship and findings, which seem to present a strong circumstantial case re: the Cuban exile community and the mafia.

Perhaps he is both, but no one could be as familiar with the facts as he seems to be and still advocate such a position. I would like to explain my experience with Mr. John McAdams, and try to let that experience speak to the reputation of this person. I wish that I had copies of the posts that I put up at his newsgroup location. If I am able to get a copy of that I will be glad to furnish it as proof. I didn't know that the JFK assassination newsgroup that I was posting on was affiliated to the McAdams website, until after my posts were removed and I was blocked from making any further posts. I am not a serious researcher but I have looked very closely into the JFK assassination and I put a post on that newsgroup. The subject of the post was the question "Where was George Bush on the day Kennedy was assassinated. My post explained that the day following the assassination Bush had met with J Edgar Hoover to discuss JFK's murder, and that those in Dallas that day included Frank Sturgis, Howard Hunt, and Jack Ruby. I also made a post about the motivation for Jack Ruby to kill Oswald. The subject of that post was speculation that Oswald was probably meant to die in the theater, and that Ruby had to act in this way because the plotters intended Oswald to be the dead "patsy" following the assassination. McAdams sarcastically responded to the posts with a speed that arouses suspicion. Because who has time to sit by a computer and watch the posts as they come in? He claimed that there was no evidence to support anything I said in the Bush post. I can't remember what he said about the Ruby post. He could do no more than to refute every reference by claiming that the info and the sources were phony or false. He ended by saying that what I had offered were only "factiods". So I coolly responded with the complete info and the sources, still thinking that this information was probably unknown to him, and that he would take the info seriously when I gave him the references and more background on them. There was nothing hostile or rude in my response only good solid sources for the claims I made; yet the post was removed within minutes. I had tried to post it at a second JFK assassination newsgroup and found that it wouldn't accept my post. I tried to re-post at the site that had briefly contained my reply to McAdams, but found that the site was blocking my posts just as the other site was. I can't say for sure, but I am fairly sure he is the person who has censored my posts. Here we have a chap who has a tremendous amount of time on his hands to promote a fiction about the assassination of JFK through websites, newsgroups, and no telling what other means. Whether he is a paid dis-information specialist, or unpaid, he is definitely promoting information that is knowingly false to him. His opinions cannot stand in a debate with an informed person. He cannot help but contradict himself in defending his untenable position. He is not trying to seek the truth whatever it may be, he is trying to promote myths that exonerate those who are implicated by evidence in the assassination of their own leader, a United States President named John F. Kennedy. He is out to discredit people who are putting the logical conclusions together from the irrefutable evidence. Whatever his reasons are for trying to continue the cover-up of the JFK assassination, I don't have any appreciation of them.

Where does John McAdams get the time and the money to attack every single person who does not accept the Warren Report Fraud? Needless to say, McAdams is the frontman of the cabal which is assigned the task of continuing to cover up the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The following recent post in a newsgroup, illustrates the repugnant tactics that these aggressive goons practice. By the Critics January 19, 2002 It is absolutely astounding that John McAdams thinks that he has the power to discredit everybody who does not endorse the Warren Report Fraud. This is probably one of the most deluded people in the entire United States of America. We call John McAdams and his cronies ignorant thugs because it is simply not possible to legitimately oppose the simple truths they deliberately target. Amazingly, most people clearly understand the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, yet McAdams & Company have somehow managed to make their views the dominant voice on the Internet. Can anybody figure out the amount of money and the resources required, to make every typical majority view appear to be just another myth that John McAdams miraculously debunks? Most people who have followed the work that McAdams publishes cannot avoid the conclusion that John McAdams is evidently the head of a CIA-funded think tank that is supposed to cover up the truth about the Kennedy assassination, and while that may be difficult to conclusively prove in an age of extreme secrecy, it doesn't really matter. Clearly, if we assume that McAdams is not a deliberate propagandist, 'certified crackpot' is the only apt description to describe people of his ilke, and anybody who has reviewed his work cannot avoid the observations of people like Debra Hartman, who posted the following observations about John McAdams on 10 October 2000: In many ways, John McAdams is a product of the times -- a symptom, not the disease. The disease is the corruption of the American educational system. It has become more and more difficult in recent times to tell the truth in America; nowhere is that more true than in America's schools, colleges and universities. There are many theories on when this began and why it happened. Whatever the cause, the point is it has happened, and the progess of a McAdams through the American educational system (both public and private) to a teaching position at a university is a cautionary tale of the new dark age we have entered in America. McAdams has neither the educational preparation nor the ability for such a position -- his language skills are abysmal; his analytical skills non-existent. Not only has he done no research whatsoever on the historical question he pretends to study, he has no knowledge of even the basics of a research methodology. Thus, McAdams himself argues against long established historical facts; on the other hand, he is incapable of doing the research necessary to either confirm or dispute such facts. In the academy, once a work is published in a fact-checked or peer-reviewed venue in any discipline, long established practice is this: Those who would challenge such published information must do a complete and thorough review -- whether the case involves historical research, scientific study, or a mathematical proof. On this newsgroup [alt.conspiracy.jfk] and on the website of Marquette University, McAdams commits daily academic fraud. He pretends that evidence for a corpus of facts drawn from HSCA records, most of which has been available in print for at least six years, has never been provided. Instead, he argues with knowing deceit that there are no documents to support a major story appearing in the heavily fact-checked Washington Post (and later, in the seminal book on the JFK assassination, Oswald Talked). An interesting charge, if true; but of course it's not. The professor at the distinguished university is an academic crackpot, and sadly, a fraud on the public -- a base propagandist in scholar's robes. (In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a huge disconnect between people like Professor John McAdams, who attack our websites, and you, the public, who send us letters which are intelligent and informative.

To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Enjoyed your site Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2002 08:26:06 -0600 Hello, I was just searching around on the internet when I stumbled across your site. I enjoyed the pictures of "Billy Nolan Lovelady" standing in front of the TSBD doorway. Too bad you do not have pictures of some of the many shirts Lovelady claimed he wore that day. (He couldn't even keep that story straight). The remarkable thing, if one is to believe the Warren Commission and Lovelady's story is another overlooked question. "Why was Loveday dressed like Oswald to begin with"? Typical of the entire case. One more thing that I have never heard anyone discuss is this: I believe the purpose of the Tippet murder was a very pivitol point in catching Oswald. (1) The original plan was to kill Oswald at 10th and Patten. Jack Ruby, so boldly killing Oswald in front of millions of people demonstrated that those in the "know" did not want Oswald in police custody that Friday afternoon. That plan did not work out. (2) Tippet might have or might not have known everything but he was at Tenth and Patton at a time when Oswald could have been walking by. How neatly the case would have ended if a heroic policeman would have killed Oswald there. I believe Oswald never showed, and another man or two killed Tippet. Tippet probably never knew about such a backup plan in case Oswald did not show. Witnesses describe men other than Oswald standing near Tippet immediately after he was shot. I believe another man was used here to be seen running away from the Tippet murder site towards where Oswald was eventually caught. I write this about the Tippet murder because if the event never happened at all, how would the police explain being in that part of the city that day, so far from the TSBD? If Oswald would not die at Tenth and Patton, at least the police could explain their motive for being in that area with Tippet being murdered in the street. Since Tippet was not going to be the hero, his death could fuel a greater public outrage against Lee Oswald. Who was it that said, "I knew we had the man who shot the President because he just shot Officer Tippet". Anyway, great site. I really enjoyed seeing and reading what you have.

To the Editor:
Concerning the recent SnowBall music festival, I was thrilled for Winter Park to host such an event.
I attended all day Saturday and was lucky enough to see Sound-tribe Sector 9 close out the event on Sunday. For all the complaints I have seen about the 15-year old kids overdosing, I have a simple solution: Make the event an 18 and older event. Problem solved.
It is not the promoters' nor Winter Park's problem that these kids are allowed to roam free without parental supervision - that is their parents' and society's fault. SnowBall is no different then the dozens of concerts held at Red Rocks every season, and the crowds are exactly the same. To complain incessantly about a revenue-earning event that brought incredible music to the valley is pathetic.
Illegal drugs are a huge part of this mountain community whether you want to acknowledge it or not, and blaming a FEW idiots for the overall beautiful fellowship of THOUSANDS is ridiculous. This was not Woodstock with thousands of LSD overdoses, it was a well-managed event with great jobs by the medical, police, and all first-responders. I worked overtime myself and wished that more locals had the chance to attend. Many of our youth were denied access because of over-hyped work schedules or pricey tickets ... hope next year a locals' pass is incorporated into the event.

I love how the small petals from the Sakura tree fall in front of this lovely looking girl. The Japanese style parasol decorates the background by adding depth, color and balance. This drawing of a Japanese anime girl is very tranquil, which means you should probably play some Asian style music as you tackle this lesson. I had so much fun with making it, and I hope you do too.

CADIZ, Ohio - The ethane being produced in the Marcellus and Utica shale region should be enough to support construction of several ethane crackers, officials with MarkWest Energy believe.
MarkWest has invested $2.2 billion into pipelines, processing and fractionation plants in the region. The fractionation plant at Hopedale, Ohio served as the destination of the six "superloads" that recently made their way through Steubenville.
"There is plenty of gas to go around," said Greg Sullivan, area manager for MarkWest. "We probably have enough work here to expand for another five years."

WHERE THE SUPERLOADS WENT — These large natural gas tanks recently passed through Jefferson County as so-called "superloads." They will hold propane, butane, isobutane and other natural gas liquids at the MarkWest Energy Hopedale plant. -- Casey Junkins
MarkWest has contracts to process Ohio gas for Gulfport Energy, Antero Resources, Petroleum Development Corp. and Rex Energy. The company also processes gas at the Mobley site in Wetzel County and the Majorsville complex in Marshall County, working for producers such as Magnum Hunter, Consol Energy, Noble Energy and Range Resources.
"We are going to be here for a long time," added Robert McHale, manager of government and regulatory affairs for MarkWest.
Process and Ethane Cracker
At the Cadiz processing complex, MarkWest lowers the pressure of the gas stream to separate the gases once it is piped into the facility. This strategy involves a turbo expander, which McHale and Sullivan called "the heart of the cryogenic process."
"This gives us the cold that we need to separate the gas," Sullivan said.
The Cadiz processing complex will soon include two de-ethanizers, which will remove ethane from the gas stream.
Currently, the company has three options for its ethane: send it to Canada for cracking via the Mariner West Sunoco pipeline; send it to the Gulf Coast for cracking via the ATEX Express pipeline; or send it to the Gulf Coast for cracking over the Bluegrass Pipeline.
"Because there is no cracker in this region, this is what we can do with our ethane," McHale said.
Sullivan and McHale are confident there is more than enough supply of ethane in the Utica and Marcellus shale regions to justify building cracker plants.
McHale said that MarkWest projects it will be able to de-ethanize 200,000 barrels of ethane daily by 2017.
"There is plenty of ethane to support several crackers. Bring more," Sullivan said.
For MarkWest, the dry methane and the ethane will be removed from the gas stream at Cadiz. However, the propane, butane, isobutane and other heavier natural gas liquids flow via pipeline from Cadiz to the Hopedale fractionator for further separation.
According to www.naturalgas.org, "Fractionation works based on the different boiling points of the different hydrocarbons in the NGL stream. Essentially, fractionation occurs in stages consisting of the boiling off of hydrocarbons one by one."
"Propane is in great demand right now," McHale said. "And it is not just for backyard grilling. It can provide feedstock for the petrochemical industry."
Construction and
Sullivan said there are now about 2,500 construction employees working to build the Harrison County plants and the pipeline network to which they connect, a number he believes will increase in the near future.
"We hire both union and non-union," McHale added. "We have found that in this area, union labor is competitive with non-union."
Although there are only eight full-time permanent jobs at the Cadiz plant right now, Sullivan and McHale said this number soon should show a major upswing, citing MarkWest's Pennsylvania operations.
"We started construction in Pennsylvania in April 2008 with nine operators. There are now about 320," McHale said.
Noting the Ohio Valley's long reputation of steel production, McHale said, "The only bad thing about this shale development is that it happened too late to save the mills."
"Anytime there is a well drilled, you have to get pipe connecting it to something," Sullivan added, noting the once thriving steel mills could have manufactured this product. "There are going to be wells drilled around here for years to come."
However, Sullivan said he has some former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. employees now working in his operation, noting, "They are great workers."
"This area is blessed with people who work hard," McHale said.

Bloomberg's Unofficial Title: Nurturer of Arts
Over the Past 12 Years the Mayor Has Acted As An Incubator for Cultural Institutions
Behind the scenes over the past 12 years, the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg has acted as an incubator for cultural institutions, using the staff and resources of City Hall to support private, not-for-profit organizations in their infancy.
The most prominent aspect of Mr. Bloomberg's arts legacy is the $2 billion the city spent to transform the buildings of institutions across the city. But it also includes organizations that have come into being largely through the efforts of the mayor and his staff.
Even in the waning days of his third and final term, the mayor left one of the emerging groups a parting gift: Earlier this month, the planned Culture Shed on the West Side of Manhattan received $25 million in city capital funding, on top of $50 million allocated to it in June.
The mayor's legacy will also include the still-unknown fate of the South Street Seaport Museum, which was taken over this year by Bloomberg administration officials in an unusual, last-ditch effort to save it.
Here is a look at four of the cultural institutions born, or reborn, at City Hall, and what may lie ahead for them as Mr. Bloomberg leaves office.
National September 11 Memorial & Museum
Since 2006, Mr. Bloomberg has played a dual role for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum as mayor and chairman. He personally donated $15 million and helped woo other donors, meeting them for coffee in the bullpen at City Hall before a tour of the World Trade Center site.
"I'm sure that we would not have been able to open on the 10th anniversary without his involvement," said Joe Daniels, president of the memorial foundation.
The memorial plaza and museum stand at the heart of a complex construction site controlled by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. City staffers struggled through a stalemate with the Port Authority that brought construction on the museum nearly to a halt. The long-delayed museum is scheduled to open next spring.
This year, Mr. Bloomberg gave a low-interest $15 million loan to the foundation to help it cope with a budget shortfall amid delays in the museum's opening. Mr. Daniels said the foundation's health was strong enough that it has not tapped into that line of credit but could do so in 2014.
Questions remain about how the foundation will cover its projected $60 million budget without help from Congress. The memorial in 2011 asked for $20 million in annual federal funding, but that effort stalled. Mr. Daniels said he is confident Congress eventually will approve funding.
Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center
Over the past decade, ideas for an arts center at the heart of the redeveloped World Trade Center site have ranged from a drawing center to a theater to a home for now-bankrupt New York City Opera.
City Hall took over the project in 2006 from the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., and worked with the architect Frank Gehry to develop a conceptual design. Most recently, it has been envisioned as a performing-arts center with multiple spaces, including a 1,000-seat theater designed to accommodate contemporary dance, offering a venue for groups that can't take on the financial risk of trying to fill the city's larger auditoriums.
Last December, Mr. Bloomberg appointed board members, including World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein, Brookfield Office Properties Co-Chairman John Zuccotti and, in a sign of his support for the project, his closest adviser, First Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris.
The project will be a heavy lift. Organizers are working on reducing its construction cost, which in March was pegged at $469 million, according to a letter from Mr. Zuccotti and Ms. Harris to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office, obtained through a public-records request. A spokesman for the center said the estimate has since been lowered. He declined to provide an updated figure. Federal funds totaling $155 million have been allocated for the project.
According to its application for federal tax-exempt status in October 2012, the group's fundraising goal for 2013 was $62.6 million. The group declined to say whether it had met that goal.
Its plans are still evolving. Christy Ferer, who serves on the boards of both the memorial foundation and the arts center, said the arts center would be "the most advanced digital performance space that anyone knows of."
She added: "The overarching theme is global. Global partnerships, global everything. This will be a performing-arts center for the world."
Culture Shed
Conceived by the Bloomberg administration, Culture Shed, a flexible exhibition space, would anchor the north end of the High Line, creating an arts corridor stretching downtown along the elevated park to the relocated Whitney Museum of American Art, opening in 2015.
A cultural centerpiece for the Hudson Yards development, Culture Shed's unusual design would feature a shell that rolls out to envelop an outdoor plaza. Organizers say it could host contemporary-art exhibitions, concerts and New York Fashion Week.
The city developed the early designs, and Mr. Bloomberg last year tapped Daniel L. Doctoroff, a former deputy mayor and now chief executive and president of Bloomberg LP, to chair the nascent nonprofit.
Construction is projected to cost about $314 million. The project is gaining momentum: The organization this year met its fundraising goal of $101 million, not including the $75 million committed by the city. And it recruited high-profile board members including fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, Loews Hotels Chairman and CEO Jonathan Tisch and contemporary-art collector and philanthropist Dasha Zhukova.
Some arts groups have criticized the city for allocating a large sum to a new institution rather than directing that money to existing groups. "This is a project that will serve the entire field," said city cultural affairs commissioner Kate Levin, who represented the mayor on the group's board. "You have to make room for new ideas."
South Street Seaport Museum
Ms. Levin has twice intervened to save the South Street Seaport Museum from going under.
The museum, founded in 1967, has struggled since its inception. After it closed in 2011, Ms. Levin brokered a deal in which the Museum of the City of New York was given a $2 million grant and 18 months run the Seaport Museum and its fleet of historic ships, and turn around the institution's finances.
Things were looking up when superstorm Sandy struck. The uptown museum pulled out in June, overwhelmed by the cost of repairs and loss of revenue. In an unusual move, three volunteer Bloomberg administration officials stepped in to take over the museum's board while Ms. Levin worked find a new steward. The museum's main building has been closed since April.
In October, officials announced they had come to an agreement in principle with the New-York Historical Society to take over the museum and developer Howard Hughes Corp. to support it. Talks are still underway, and an agreement could hinge in part on whether the city approves a mixed-use building Howard Hughes wants to build in the Seaport District.
Notably, the city did not swoop in this year to save New York City Opera from going bankrupt, though city officials had worked over the past several years to help pull through the opera through recurring crises.
The city threw a lifeline to the Seaport Museum in part because of Mr. Bloomberg's keen interest in revitalizing Lower Manhattan, Ms. Levin said. And despite the museum's troubles, the outgoing commissioner said she believed it had "a real shot" at being sustainable.
Many cultural organizations run into trouble, as some businesses do, she said. "This is one of the ones that did on our watch."

I read that a reviit (the minimal size for a cup used for kiddush, havdala etc) is 86.4 mL according to the generally accepted view (see here for options). Does anyone know where I can get a cup that is exactly that size or as close to it as possible? I don't need to be using extra wine when I make kiddush every week.

Try this one. It's 94 mL which is as close as I'd feel comfortable with. The manufacturer's website is here, but the first link has free shipping in the USA.
This cup is 3 oz which is 88.7 ml and is actually a kiddush cup :)

At the final table with Ax2x, 60000 stack, UTG, 4 players. Tournament started with about 50 players. Hero calls 8000 BB, no raises. Flop is 2x7x10x. So now hero has 2x2xAx. BB bets 8000 with about 60000 behind. Hero goes all in. BB calls, heads up. Turns out BB wins with 2x10x. Did the hero play well? My reasoning was Ax2x with 4 players is a winner and wanted to shut down any drawing hands. If hero just called would have had to go all in before showdown anyway.
You don't mention how big are the blinds, but you say "Hero calls 8000", so I'm assuming the blinds are 4K / 8K, which means you have about 7 BB behind. This means you're SEVERELY short stacked. In this case, the play for you is pretty much on automatic pilot: find a decent hand to go all-in with.
I disagree with what you did preflop: you should've moved all-in or folded. Limping when you're that short stacked is a weak play in my book. The fact that there are only 4 players left makes this even worse (because it costs A LOT to play 1 round). Your think process was probably:
Although this can work perfectly if you do connect with the board, the chances of this happening are pretty low, which is why it's a much better idea to go all-in or fold, not something in between.
Your play on the flop was actually not bad at all. The guy in the BB saw that you're short stacked (and made a mistake preflop :D), so he made a bet. You figured he would do that with absolutely any 2 cards (I would :D) and you would be correct; so you decided to go with it because you were actually connected to the board.
So preflop: not a good play. On Flop: ok play.
The fact that you won or lost doesn't change this.
What were the limits or the level of skill at play here? What's the difference in prize money between the finishing positions yet to be paid out? Without those details it's hard to say definitively, but no, the
Open-limping is generally a bad idea anyway, doubly so because you were technically short stacked, and even more so because you were at a very short table.
In the general case, 4 handed, shortstacked, any Ace is a preflop push. So the
A min bet can mean a lot of things, from a post-oak-bluff to flopping the nuts, to a generally weak poker player, but by that deep into the tournament, the
Bottom line, you went to war with bottom pair and five outs to improve against a bet that's a common indicator of extreme strength, especially among weak players. Hopefully, you learned your lesson for next time.

I have 1 important taxonomy that contains 2 different custom post type content. I want somehow show them in same taxonomy page with both paging. Well.. i am not sure i can do that or not. Is it possible to paging 2 different CPT in same taxonomy?
You can create two separate loops with pagination - and place them in side by side div containers - with pagination links inside each div. You would include the pagination links in each div, because you might have more of one post type then the other, and therefor more pages than the other.
The columns will paginate together unless you use ajax javascript to refresh the content of the div's independently - in which case you'll have to pass the correct relative page number in your call.
Without the ajax, with separate columns of post types paging in tandem, your template would look like this (untested code):
I think you're saying you have 2 post types which each share the same taxonomy term.
Create a template that queries both post types and single taxonomy:

Today is the second day of Rosh Hashana, and it happens to be Friday. The holiday will end after Shabbat begins. Should we light candles today?

Yes, we always light Shabbat candles, and at the usual time (non-primary source). The only time a holiday affects candle-lighting is that on the second day of a two-day holiday, so long as the second day is not also Shabbat, you don't light the second-day candles until dark so as not to encroach the first day.
For Shabbat immediately after a holiday, or for the second day of a holiday, light the candles from a pre-existing flame (such as a pilot flame or long-burning candle lit before the holiday).
Yes, we should.
But I don't understand how can you ask this question on second day of Rosh Hashana. Using computer is forbidden on yom-tov.

Phelps: From the Pool to the Golf Course
Michael Phelps has traded in his swim flippers for a set of golf clubs. The 18-time Olympic gold medalist is the latest celebrity student of golf pro Hank Haney, on The Golf Channel's "Haney Project." Haney used to prep Tiger Woods to win majors. Now he's prepping Phelps to break 90, a goal Phelps says he recently reached.
For Phelps, who lived one of the more regimented existences during the past two decades, golf represents an opportunity to compete in venues that have a little more variety than 50-meter pools all set to the same temperature. He's also adjusting to rounds that last four hours rather than races that last four minutes, as well as one other major luxury for the retired Olympic athlete: free time.
Other than that, Phelps is morphing into an existence that plenty of frustrated golfers can identify with. Too many three-putts, too much deceleration on the downswing around the green, and occasionally out-driven by a coach who is three decades older than he is.

This Is Real: 4.82 Is Slow for a Linebacker
Manti Te'o is still facing questions related to the revelation that the story about his deceased girlfriend was a hoax. It turns out the former Notre Dame linebacker has some pretty big on-field problems too. Mainly, he's not that fast.
At Monday's NFL combine, Te'o ran the 40-yard dash in 4.82 seconds, significantly slower than the speediest linebacker, Missouri's Zaviar Gooden, who covered the distance in 4.47 seconds.
Te'o was projected to be a first-round pick in April's draft but the slow showing could hurt him—even the slowest star linebackers typically run close to 4.7 seconds in the event. The poor result capped a hectic week for Te'o, who met with the media for the first time over the weekend and fielded a barrage of questions about his now famous personal life.
