[Youtube] The discussion yesterday of the movie set shooting incident with Alec Baldwin took me back to this video. I got started using Horus Vision scopes after watching this. I don't want to argue the biggest can of worms in the history of the modern world, just want to point out the "what can one bullet do?" thing has been well investigated.
Per Trailing Wife's sage advice, please go to the link to see the long video.

What happen to DC PR that ALL the JFK files that were to be released by 2016-17?
The BIDEN White House said the national archivist needs more time for a review into that redaction, which was slowed by the pandemic. Biden also said the delay was "necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations" and that this "outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure."
I call BS, its been 60 years.
Which Political Families is worried of their connections.
In all FAIRNESS: "In 2017, former president Donald Trump released several thousand secret files on the assassination, but withheld others on national security grounds."

At the time, Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante were rumored to be the mob pointmen on the JFK hit. They basically got their "reputations" lightly besmirched. Had they been Neo-Nazis from Idaho, we'd be seeing the sort of panty wetting that has occurred since Jan. 6

[OneIndia] The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... has been looking to make Afghanistan its stronghold. It even launched the Islamic State Khorasan Province and has so far shown that it can be very lethal.
While it has carried out a series of attacks in the past years, since the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... took over it carried out three strikes which are deadly in nature. This month alone saw two high profile attacks against the Shiite Moslems who had gathered for Friday prayers in the cities of Kunduz and Kandahar. Prior to this the ISKP had carried out a lethal suicide kaboom at the Kabul airport just days after the US withdrew in August.
The ISIS since its inception has exploited divisions in the regions. It has recruited disgruntled elements from the Taliban and the Tehrik-e-Taliban as well. While the outfit does pose a big threat, a worry lies ahead for China, which is looking to expand its footprint in the Afghan region.
The ISKP is likely to take advantage of the situation where the Uyghur Moslems are concerned. It would look to recruit more and more Uyghurs and this would pose a threat to China.
The ISIS would also take advantage of the fact that the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) has been removed from the Terrorist Exclusion List by the US. The US justified the decision by stating that the ETIM does not exist any longer.
Further the ISKP would also look to the Uyghur group called the Turkestan Islamic Party ...a Uighur jihadi group based in Badakshan, Afghanistan and listed under Tehrik-e-Taliban in the Al Qaeda organization table. Their Syrian subsidiary currently reports to Al Nusra in the Idlib-Latakia region, where the Russians and Americans have been taking turns shooting them — they’re on their third Number 1 in three years... which is active in Syria and Afghanistan.
While these groups have tilted more towards the al-Qaeda in the past, their loyalties are fast moving towards the Islamic State. If this scenario were to occur, the group would pose a major threat to Chinese interests as well as the Taliban.
Among the several nations, China has been the most supportive of the Taliban. It is a well known fact that the ISKP and Taliban are at logger heads. The Taliban has openly urged China to invest in Afghanistan and if this were to take place, then the ISKP would look to hit along with the Uyghur Moslems who have posed trouble to China.
Further there is plenty of turmoil within the Taliban. It is never clear whether the Taliban would continue to fight as a united front considering their differences with the Haqqani Network. All these events would provide the perfect fodder for the ISKP which has been known to make use of the differences in a region and carry out attacks.
Considering that the Taliban is not a united front, it would find it hard to control both the ISKP and ETIM which will pose a large risk to China.
If you read the Russian literature for WWII you will note one of the great overarching themes was the promises, made by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union through the political instructors, of the granting of freedom following the war.
Not more Bolshevik bullshit, but freedom. That promise made at the front will cause any man to reexamine what his current society is and what it promises. Decisions good and bad can spring from those promises.
And the political instructors may have promised freedom, what soldiers got were promises that their family would suffer at the hands of the state as well as they, should run afoul of the state, headed by Bolsheviks.
My fictional reading of WWII Russian literature is limited to Vasily Grossman, who was a loyal correspondent for the soviet Communists.
[REGNUM] The main burden of the Great Patriotic War was borne by the generations born in 1905 to 1925, and this could not have happened if they had been brought up in an unhealthy society, noted REGNUM columnist Mikhail Demurin on Friday, October 22, commenting on the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As previously reported, during his speech at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, Putin said that the West is now experiencing the same thing that Russia went through 100 years ago .
"The Bolsheviks after the 1917 revolution, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also announced that they would change the entire customary way, not only political and economic, but also the very idea of what human morality is, the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, faith, relations between people up to the complete rejection of the family - this was the case - the imposition and encouragement of denunciations to loved ones - all this was declared a step of progress and, by the way, in the world it was widely supported then and was fashionable, just like and today," said Putin .
"The history of our country in the first third of the XX century, especially the period after 1917, requires deep comprehension and understanding, free anti-communist opportunism. Vladimir Putin says that the Bolsheviks declared that 'they will change the whole habitual way, not only political and economic, but also the very idea of what human morality is, the foundations of a healthy existence of society.'
According to him, values and faith were destroyed in the USSR of the first post-revolutionary decade.
In this regard, I will ask a few questions. Was this Russian society at the turn of the 20th century healthy? Was it Anna Karenina's 'healthy family?' Or most of Chekhov's heroes?
Maxim Gorky showed us many completely unhealthy Russian families ... And the presence of harems among Russian landowners before the reform - did the reforms of the 1860s immediately improve their morals? The position of women in peasant families of that period is not just prosperous - it is difficult to call it bearable - read Leskov!
Or, for example, the memories of his childhood, Marshal Zhukov.
This is what the Bolsheviks wanted to change and they did change! They put both a Russian woman, and even more so women on the national outskirts of Russia, on a worthy place in society. And, accordingly, they improved the family.
By the way, it's worth thinking about this. The main burden of the Great Patriotic War was borne by the generations born in 1905-1925. A huge number of them gave their lives for their homeland, massively showed heroism and self-sacrifice.
If they were brought up in an unhealthy society, a society in which values are destroyed, there is no faith, relations between people are undermined, how could this be? Is that how they would behave at the front and in the rear?" Mikhail Demurin noted.
