Antonio Iglesias PonsAs regular readers will know I did a great deal of research a few years back on a fringe subject known as The Gemstone File. I have put some of the information I came across on two sites that the interested reader can find under Research Projects at right.Among other subjects The Gemstone File contain information about the JFK assassination, information which the author of the Skeleton Key to the Gemstone File, one Stephanie Caruana, said came from a personal contact of Bruce Roberts, author of the Gemstone File. This contact...

From Crime of the Century by Michael L. Kurtz:The press conference lasted only a few minutes during which Oswald repeated his earlier denial of an involvement in the assassination. When the conference was over, a policeman led Oswald into an elevator. A magazine photographer rode with them and talked with Oswald, who vehemently denied shooting Kennedy and asserted he was a "patsy," taking the blame for others. Just before he entered his cell, Oswald told the photographer that the truth about the assassination "conspiracy" would be revealed at his...

I don't usually pass on stories or 'facts' that I get by email until I verify them by going to Snopes or other sources. That is why I am totally embarrassed by my last post: Red pointed out that none of the 'cases' sited in the post were true.

Brzezinski on Iran:Brzezinski also questioned the Bush administration's policy on Iran, calling it ``self-defeating.'' Asked whether the U.S. should have to accept the reality of the Iranians obtaining nuclear weapons, he said, ``I'm not entirely convinced they are really seeking them.''The Iranian leadership is ``seeking a comprehensive nuclear program'' that would put the country in a position to produce nuclear weapons, Brzezinski said.``Japan can produce nuclear weapons very quickly, but they haven't done it, and I think that's where Iran wants...

Ted Galen Carpenter, vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, thinks that we should get out of Iraq.Except when the survival of the nation is at stake, all military missions must be judged according to a cost-benefit calculation. Iraq has never come close to being a war for America's survival. It was an elective war -- a war of choice, and a bad choice at that. How much are Americans willing to pay in blood, treasure and toil to try to prevail in Ir...

Why Impeachment is a Bad IdeaDemocratic leaders say that impeachment is off the table, and I think that is a good thing. It's not that Bush is not arguably guilty of several impeachable offenses, and it's not like the Republicans don't have it coming, but impeachment would be divisive and the Senate would almost certainly fail to convict. And, of course, at the end of the day if Bush were removed from office we would be left with President Dick Cheney. So, let's just forget impeachment and work for a Democratic President in 08. OK, that's settled...

The CIA, ever mindful of the need to justify its “mission,” had conclusive evidence by the mid-1980s of the deepening crisis of infrastructure within the Soviet Union.
