Hastings, Snowden, Pvt Manning & Assange Think 1st; a Kennedy "Drone" Pilot Perished in-1944

- - We are forbidden to speak CT here - thus I we will stick to the facts and go on tangent upon the political dicussions apropos.

Yes, tis true, in the saga know as the 'Kennedy Curse'/ Tragedies, we have many deaths untimely. Though there are many deaths more memorable (including JFK's issues). The fact of the matter noteworthy (in more ways than one) - is the fact that JFK's elder brother (Joseph Patrick Kennedy) died in England.

Of the precursor (pun intended) of the current "Drone" program.

- - Purportedly, JP Kennedy was in a "pilot" program of rigging B-17 Flying Fortresses by gutting them of all their weapons and such and even removing the pilot shielding so they could parachute out rapidly. The early efforts to remote control planes for take-off's and landings failed miserably. So the solution was to put "volunteer" pilot and flight engineer's into the stripped bombers with super payloads armed. Upon getting to 2000 feet in altitude, the CQ-17 (Headquarters) would then remote control the planes to their target sites in a project purportedly named "Aphrodite". Joseph Kennedy purportedly was a casualty of the program when the "armed" payload prematurely detonated on August 12, 1944.

Therefore, we have evidence that the military was smart enough to realize that bravery aside, a guy doing a remote control could fly straight at the machine guns in a "damn them" manner; way back in 1944.

Since then - they have gotten better.

Question is - why would one need "Kamikaze" pilots (or drivers for that matter) - when one man could do it by remote control? On the question of Michael Hastings - we don't really know and shouldn't say we do - until more evidence arises! But the fact of the matter is, "they could" and then the unanswered question is "if they would" - with Hastings etc!

Pvt. Manning, Julian Assange, Snowden - Are they Heroes, "Provocateurs" - or something else?


As for the issue of Michael Hasting's, he was a journalist, activist, who already had a "story kill" (so to speak) - in his purported bringing down of a General. Thus he is - as far as I can tell - one of the good guys.


- - Per the issues on Private Manning, Julian Assange and Mr. Snowden - questions abound as to their motives and status. As an activist myself, my tentacles reach far and wide with activists worldwide. There are people I trust - such as Andrew Kreig (who actually worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign) and www.bankruptcymisconduct.com website (who is a Righty Tighty guy who still goes after Romney; because he vetted my evidence on Mitt & Gang and concluded they "ARE" bad dudes. Then there are people I don't trust. One is Paul Traub, another is Colm Connolly, another is Douglas Kelley and so on (no need to look them up - I'm about to release a legal case detailing it all at length).

As for Manning, Assange and Snowden - can we trust them - Should we Trust Them?

--------------------------- WHO KNOWS!

We've got solid evidence from Washington D.C. that Assange is much more of a mystery and highly more probable to be a plant than you would think. But then there's the whole made up case and seek to extradite thingy; with the compounding evidence that Karl Rove is the spearhead seeking to yank Julian back to the U.S. (anyone pissing off Rove - do we want him arrested)?

As for Private Manning, his trial is going to answer "some" questions. Then there's Mr. Snowden.

Here's what a trusted source revealed to me about Mr. Snowden; he made fantastic salary for a guy with no science or engineer degree. He worked along with the Carlyle Group and Booz Allen.

He also fled to China!

- - Now, these are just "some" of the purported "facts" running around out there. It will take time for the experts to sort it all out. And even much longer for you and I to figure out which "expert" we can trust. Be that as it may, the fact of the matter is, the NSA was "spying" on U.S. in a way that we all "thought" was possible; but now know is probable.

Does that piss you off - that we are being spied upon by big brother - in a fascist manner?

IT SHOULD!

[br][hr][br]

Stop calling each other names and work together at finding the truth - PLEASE?

[br]

As for Snowden saying things that piss you off - remember where your getting your info from - before you cry foul! It matters NOT what his motivation is (except for U.S. helping him - if he was pure). What matters are the issues at hand. Our Government and leaders we fought hard to place there - Promised Changes - that have yet to come. Private Manning, Julian Assange and Snowden have stirred up our attentiveness

And that's a GOOD THING!

- - That's not to say we should praise them as heroes are lambaste them as traitors (by the way - how is it that Julian Assange, a foreigner - is a traitor)! ----- I'm just sayin.........

What we need to do is UNITE in a effort to get to the truth. It is our patriotic duty. We also need to stop fighting with each other. The name calling and hardheadedness of people on DU getting mean with one another - SUCKS.

It only helps the ebol masters - when you and I go at each other - and they drink Champagne while watching U.S. squirm!

- - Being "special" sucks too. This I can tell you from personal experience. For those of you who haven't heard of me, I'm the man who has been battling Romney for 12 years. Won many battles - but the war continues. Be that as it may, fellow Progressives really don't care (except for some cool few) - because it hasn't hurt them directly (they think).

We are all human - in a Clear Channel Communications, Faux News, Ruppert Murdoch world! What ever it is that you think you know about our Government and its schemes and such remember what Malcom X said - if you are not careful, the press will have you finding the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent!


-------------------------- They odds are greatly against U.S. - that main stream will ever tell U.S. the truth.


So don't bark at each other, make enemies, block one another and such about "IF's"

------------------------------------------------------------------------- - THINK 1st - and be good Progessives

PLEASE?

For the sake of the overall good and goals we all seek!


Remember, William Blum, the former U.S. State Department employee and author told U.S. that "No matter how paranoid or conspiracy minded you are what the Government is actually doing is worse than you can imagine".

How are we to get to the truth - if we, those who claim to care about each other, by into their babbling B.S.?

THINK 1st! - Because it is a fact that JFK's older brother died on August 12, 1944 - doing "Drone" test runs....... A KENNEDY was a test pilot for the DRONE precursor program. At the same time, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone has pointed out that
