-Short Attention Span Theater-
Some Conspiracy Theories Are Persistent:The JFK Autopsy Skull X-rays Prove The Government Knew Oswald Wasn't a Lone Gunman
[AmericanThinker] We now know that the three extant JFK autopsy skull X-rays in the National Archives collection are forgeries, altered to mask evidence of two frontal headshots.

The evidence for this proposition is thoroughly presented in a new book, The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis, which I have recently published with Dr. David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. Armed with a Ph.D. in physics and a medical practice extending over five decades as a radiation oncologist, Dr. Mantik has seen the JFK autopsy skull X-rays more than anyone else. Using a densitometer, he measured the light coming through the X-rays millimeter-by-millimeter (with some measurements at a tenth-of-a-millimeter calibration).

Dr. Mantik has established indisputably that a white patch has been placed to cover the rear parietal and occipital bone on the right side of JFK’s as seen in the right lateral X-ray (Figure 1). This essay poses the question: Why was the white patch forgery necessary?

Just ask the 2 simple questions.

After 60 years, and about 20 years PAST the officially established release date for all documents.

Remember
JFK Kennedy’s own publicly announced decision on October 2, 1963, to begin the withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Vietnam. Over the course of the war, the _ _ _ managed 12 coups to keep it going.

It all kinda lends to the suspicion JFK was murdered by certain parties and/or M.I.C. for $$$$$$$$$$$ reasons.

So, what is the DC Swamp still hiding, and who are they protecting after 60 years?

What is it that worries them so much, besides felicitating over 58K US Military Deaths and over 1 million civilian deaths

Why did Nixon start having problems when he started winding down the war $1,000,000,000,000,000 spend later.

Bidet is far worse, because because he and his family are deeply compromised after a lifetime of corruption and abuse of office. Installed in office to continue the Obama era, has now sold the literal power of the Presidency to a shadowy cabal of domestic malcontents, opportunists and deviants, and enemy foreign powers, and his every policy act has served them to the detriment of the American people.

-Land of the Free
Just when the West has never been in greater need of American leadership... that sound you can hear from Moscow and Beijing is the clinking of glasses as the U.S. tears itself apart in the most bitter election in memory
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The 2024 race to be President of the United States has just caught fire. Thursday's conviction of Donald Trump on 34 criminal counts in a hush-money trial held in a Manhattan court has only further divided an already deeply polarised country.

President Biden and Trump have long had a visceral loathing of each other. The guilty verdicts will only exacerbate their mutual hate. This will be the most bitterly fought presidential contest in modern American history.

But it is more than an American story. It has serious implications for the rest of the world too, especially the remaining embattled democracies, most of whom — including Britain — still depend on the U.S. for their ultimate security.

#2  That noise you can hear emanating from the Kremlin in Moscow and the West Wing of the Zhongnanhai in Beijing is the sound of laughter and the clinking of glasses.

Let's extrapolate a bit. If Biden wins, the US continues to decrepitize. If Trump wins, that trend is (hopefully) reversed. Given the current window of opportunity for our enemies, what do you think will be on their options list when and if Trump overcomes the Dominion handicap? I'm afraid they'll see it as a now-or-never, go-for-broke scenario.

Economy
Is The Housing Market Headed For An Obama Admin Crash Repeat?
NN2N1 thinks aloud again. Headline link goes to a graph of 30 year mortgage rates 2020-present.
It is clear Home Asking Prices, and Interest Rates, are both way up.

But, homes sales are rapidly declining with each interest rate hike also. Plus, more and more US Citizens are finding they can't even afford an apartment because they now cost more per month than a house payment.

During the Trump time period, initial offers to buy, usually took 15 to 30 days, with additional buyers bidding the price up against each other. In other words, a typical Seller's Market.

But, Now under O'Biden, even initial offers are taking as much as 90++ days and usually come with a sizable reduced buyer counteroffer. Or, as some jokingly call it, "A wish they could sell it at all market".

A Home Sales Chart shows a drastic continuing drop, even after the Covid Pandemic ended.

Side Note: According to various reports, there is a possible-related increase in house fires since 2023.

#2  This is a problem if you are in early days of a high interest rate mortgage or home equity loan that goes underwater. It's a problem if you are a bank that holds those instruments. It's a problem if you are a stockholder in an institution that owns those instruments. It's a problem for everyone when the housing market coughs and the rest of the economy has an asthma attack.

The 2008 mess was mainly due to the synthetic packaging of bad mortgages and loans into toxic securities. Guardrails for that are in place now but that doesn't mean there isn't a new scam being worked to get around them.

Europe
The anti-Muslim, pro-Israel far right now runs Holland. Is the European Parliament next?
[IsraelTimes] Upcoming elections for the EU’s legislature are expected to see gains by parties with ideologies feared by many Jews — even as they may be the community’s most ardent champions.

At a particularly bleak moment for European Jews, one of their most vocal supporters has effectively reached power in the Netherlands, the European Union’s fifth-largest economy and an influential founding member of the bloc.

A staunch advocate of Israel who worked as a volunteer in his youth in an Israeli agricultural community, Dutch politician Geert Wilders last week formed a new coalition that’s so pro-Israel and pro-Jewish that its founding contract promises to look into moving the Dutch embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and mandates Holocaust education for all new naturalized citizens.

Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer - 'A disgusting corruption of American justice'
[IS National News] We have witnessed one of the most shameful, disgusting episodes in American history. If I had submitted the outline of the Trump trial to a publishing house, they would have rejected the book and said "Even readers of fiction novels will never believe your premises, Rav. Your effort at fiction-writing unfortunately descends right with that O.J. Simpson manuscript about ’how he would have killed Nicole if he had done it.’ Actually, it is more bogus than the O.J. travesty. Sorry, Rav. Try submitting on another subject that is more believable, like Androids on the 37th parallel."

As my readers know, I practiced law at three of America’s most prominent law firms, clerked for one of America’s most prominent federal appeals court judges, and was Chief Articles Editor of UCLA Law Review. I also was a law professor for 16 years. By now, I know American law quite well. And I am a refugee from New York City, Brooklyn born and bred, Columbia University brainwashed and reeducated. I know that town and its players.

As so many others have noted, inter alia:

Dershowitz: It's a Day After the Ruling and I Still Don't Know What the Crime Is – Merchan Took This a Step Further than Stalin – Supreme Court Should See This Case and Reverse This Case
[Gateway] Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the Trump convictions by a corrupt court, a biased jury, and and criminal judge on Thursday.

Dershowitz pointed out what all of us are wondering — we still don’t know the crime President Trump allegedly committed.

As the Democrat operatives’ case against President Trump wound down last week the prosecution still had not defined the alleged criminal act that President Trump allegedly committed. But it didn’t matter. The court was ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.

Corrupt anti-Trump Judge Juan Merchan told the jury during instructions before their deliberation that they can consider whether the defendant violated any of the following laws:

1. Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) (federal election campaign law)
2. Falsification of Business Records
3. Tax Laws

Judge Merchan also told the jury they need not agree to what crime was committed. They just had to feel like a criminal act was committed to find President Trump guilty. This was one of the greatest bastardizations of the justice system in US history.

We still don’t know what the jury decided. We still don’t know what crime was committed. It’s been two days now and the court has not defined what law was broken. The judge and jury never told us!

Alan Dershowitz pointed this out on Friday.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
What is Hamas Hiding in Rafah, and Why Doesn't Biden Want the IDF to Find It?
[Townhall] In the lead up to the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) operation to destroy Hamas and secure the release of over 100 hostages — including 8 Americas — believed to be in and around Rafah, leaders around the world from Joe Biden to the collective leftist leaders of the European Union to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi panicked and ordered Israel to forestall its necessary means to end the war.

Why did world leaders clamor for Israel to do nothing?

What are they hiding?

It turns out they are hiding a lot.

...Meanwhile, Israel continued to negotiate through the "good" offices of the United States, Egypt, and Qatar for the release of hostages. Out of thin air, on May 6 Hamas agreed to the ceasefire terms. Only, what actually happened was that the terms they agreed to were not the negotiated terms that the US, Qatar, and Israel had seen. Indeed, Egypt edited the ceasefire terms in such a way that Hamas would get a "win" and say they accepted the terms, but the terms, as edited, were outrageous. Even the even-keeled US negotiator, CIA Chief William Burns, was mystified and outraged. What kind of nonsense game was Egypt playing? Cairo pulled a bait-and-switch on the Israelis and the other negotiators ensuring that, needless to say, negotiations broke down.

On the IDF’s first day of entry into Rafah in mid-May they discovered hundreds of tunnels with over 50 two-way underground tunnels between Rafah and Egypt. Dozens more cross-border tunnels have been discovered since, along the Rafah-Egypt border. Some tunnels were paved and wide enough for passage of full-sized cargo trucks.

...Egypt built a formidable border wall, something Donald Trump could not even imagine in a fever dream for America. It is impenetrable, militarized, and closely guarded with Egyptian troops and security forces. The way through it for Gazans seeking to get out of Gaza? Baksheesh. Upwards of $5,000 per person. It has also been a gateway for international aid and smuggling into Gaza resulting in over $88 million in profit to the holder of the border keys.

The holder of those keys is a Bedouin tribal leader named Ibrahim al-Organi, now the wealthiest man in northern Sinai. But how could an ex-con smuggler rise to a position of border control prince? Through connections to the Egyptian government, Organi has cultivated extremely close ties with Egyptian President al-Sisi, and more significantly, with al-Sisi’s son, Mahmoud. General Mahmoud al-Sisi is the Deputy Chief of Egyptian intelligence and he sits on Organi’s board. It’s good to have friends in high places, and in the case of Organi, it has made him, and those in his network, very wealthy.
And, just like Hunter, Mahmoud splits with the big guy?
Every day there is additional evidence of Egyptian smuggling in Gaza. Intelligence on May 31, 2024 uncovered surface to air missiles smuggled into Rafah from Egypt. The large cache purportedly would have been used to take down IDF helicopters. How much money changed hands for Egypt to have turned a blind eye (or been complicit) in these types of smuggling operations?

...Recently, following Israel’s successful surgical strike in Rafah to eliminate two terrorist masterminds, a humanitarian safe area caught fire and several civilians were killed. Hamas’s publicity hacks blamed Israel's strike. The IDF undertook an investigation which uncovered that the fire ignited over 1.7 kilometers from the IDF strike and was not caused by their action. Rather there was an ordnance storage facility in Rafah abutting the humanitarian zone and there were explosions in the stockpile that caused the fire. Hamas purposely stored highly combustible ammunition alongside a humanitarian zone for civilians.

The ordnance themselves were quite interesting. It turns out many were US-manufactured munitions that had been sold to Egypt. With Israel now in control over the entire Gaza-Egypt border area, it is all but certain that more evidence of Egyptian smuggling of American-made weapons and possible collusion with Hamas will unfold. What will happen to the US-Egypt relationship as a result?

...What is becoming obvious is that there were a lot of reasons for Egypt and America to want Israel to remain outside of Rafah. The secrets that will be revealed through the IDF’s operations may well surprise the civilized world as Israel fights to defeat the barbarians.

Science & Technology
Chicken feathers can be used to reduce hair loss and nausea from chemotherapy - study
[Jpost] Chicken feathers, especially those on the wings that are left over after machines fail to pluck them all, are a pain in the neck to remove. But amazingly, this plumage can be used for a useful purpose.

Chemistry experts at the famed Kings College London and the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new drug-deliver technique using proline, an amino acid found in chicken feathers and skin tissue that could be utilized to minimize the side effects of chemotherapy and repair important enzymes.

Just published in the journal Chem under the title “Metal-Peptidic Cages – Helical Oligoprolines Generate Highly Anisotropic Nanospaces with Emergent Isomer Control,” the study explains how Dr. Charlie McTernan and colleagues have created a cage (a box made of single molecules) from biologically compatible peptides, which are short amino acids that form the basis of proteins. These cages can house drugs of different sizes and transport them in the body with high levels of precision.

The negative side effects associated with chemotherapy, such nerve damage and the loss of hair caused by toxicity in which the treatment kills healthy, rapidly dividing cells surrounding tumors and the tumor itself. By creating a nano-sized cage to house the drug and carry it into the malignancy before releasing it, this effect can be targeted directly at the tumor, protecting healthy cells.

Proline is very rigid and straight in shape, while also being soluble in water, which makes it uniquely suited for drug delivery, since water makes up more than half of the human body.
