I was at JFK's March 1962 speech at Memorial. Who else was there?

I saw Mark Lane speak at Dwinelle Hall* when I was an undergrad.

*I also saw the movie Deep Throat there as an undergrad. Berkeley being Berkeley in the early 70's.

*The JFK autopsy photos are a trip.

This location was a Rec sports field.
I scored a number of goals there, and also hit my head so hard I had instant amnesia and went to the hospital in an ambulance. I literally was asked what day it was, where I was, and had no clue. Didn't know the names of my teammates - not at all!
It took 24 hours to regain any semblance. It's scary how quickly the brain can go.

That was in 1991, 28 years after this JFK speech. It has been 33 years since.

Time flies.

Quote:

So, let us not be blind to our differences--but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
-John F. Kennedy



You know, when you consider the leadership between JFK and Trump, they are entirely different. Like polar opposite.

Trump raises differences to agitate and divide.
JFK sought unity and harmony.

He won't declassify his own because the records won't support the MAGA narrative.

Trump declassified documents. Biden (as VP) stole classified documents.

The news was on in the background while I was working so I may not have it right but I believe I heard the government uncovered 2400 files while responding to Trump's EO that previously were unknown to exist

Of course, we were skeptical for the last 60 years, why should we expect any bombshell revelations now that everyone associated with the event died?

I always thought it was strange, and even me as a child/young adult in the 80s/90s thought Oswald's killer was named Jack Ruby. But in actuality his name was Jacob Leon Rubenstein, why would the media just automatically refer to him as Jack Ruby in uniformity. Schools taught us his name was Jack Ruby too.

Meh, for anyone who has studied the assassination and the politics of the time, none of this is real news.

The Book Tower in Dallas off of Commerce St has a good museum about this.

Intriguing!
It's the obvious sign of a massive conspiracy - purported by whomever you hate the most!

Ruby was a peon of mobster Meyer Lansky.

Possibly that's all he was, but you don't think it's also possible he was mossad? Seemed like all the files that had anything to do with Israeli intelligence got blacked out.

Wikipedia is your friend.

"In 1947, Ruby moved to Dallas, purportedly because of the failure of merchandise deals in Chicago and to help operate his sister's nightclub. Soon afterward he and his brothers shortened their surnames from Rubenstein to Ruby. The stated reason for the name change was that the name "Rubenstein" was too long and that he was "well known" as Jack Ruby."

Lots of people change their names. Gerald Ford wasn't his original name and he was on the Warren Commission. How strange is that?

Yeah but those people didn't walk in front of a room of Dallas police, pull out a pistol and shoot the only witness they had in the JFK shooting.

Yeah, I'm sure Jack Ruby was thinking in 1948 that if he changes his name, it would befuddle people 15 years later when he killed a presidential assassin on live national TV.

You probably thought Muhammad Ali was a thug too.
