22 November: Now fifty-eight years since the murder of President Kennedy

Today is 22 November 2021.

Fifty-eight years ago today, on 22 November 1963, President John F. Kennedy was murdered in Dallas.

The evidence regarding that murder of the President has been actively suppressed by a coordinated media effort since that time, and much of it remains sealed for "national security reasons" even to this day, fifty-eight years later.

If you have never done so -- or even if you have -- take 45 minutes today to listen to this interview between well-known media personality Johnny Carson and New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, which took place on 31 January 1968, a few months after Jim Garrison's bombshell long-form interview appeared in Playboy Magazine in October of 1967 (also linked below).

Here is the embedded player of that interview -- you will have to listen to it since no video of this historic conversation (strangely enough) can be found. But it is quite accessible even without video and you will get a very good understanding of the personalities of the two men, Carson and Garrison, from the audio alone:

When you finish listening to the Johnny Carson "interview" then read the Playboy interview, which is much longer and more in-depth (and far less hostile) than Carson's attempts to discredit Jim Garrison.

Here is the link to the Playboy interview with Jim Garrison, published in October 1967.

If the efforts by Johnny Carson to discredit Jim Garrison are not transparent enough in revealing the desperation of the media (and those who control the media in this country) to conceal the truth of the murder of the President from the American people, you may also want to go back and review the evidence uncovered by Jim DiEugenio in his book Destiny Betrayed regarding the death threats made to one Fred Leemans to lie about Jim Garrison (and say that Garrison was bribing witnesses in order to build a fraudulent case) during an NBC television special which aired in June of 1967. 

Leemans later (in 1969) recanted those statements defaming Garrison and explained that he (Leemans) had received threats including threats of physical harm to his family as pressure to make those statements about Garrison.

In the Playboy interview, Jim Garrison argues that "there are powerful forces in Washington who find it imperative to conceal from the American public the truth about the assassination."

He goes on to warn us -- speaking in 1967, remember -- that: "we in America are in great danger of slowly evolving into a proto-fascist state." 

He also declares that: "In a very real and terrifying sense, our Government is the CIA and the Pentagon, with Congress reduced to a debating society."

Garrison was a World War II veteran who had fought the Nazis in Europe.

Jim Garrison concludes his interview with Johnny Carson by turning directly to the American people and saying "I'm trying to tell the people of America that the honor of this country is at stake -- and if we don't do something about this fraud, we will not survive. And there is no way to survive if we don't bring out the truth about how our President was killed four years ago."

Lunar Eclipse Tonight! Night of 18 - 19 November

In about twenty-four hours from publication of this post the Full Moon will be entering the Umbra or full shadow of the Earth for a near-total Lunar Eclipse. 

Here's a video giving a one-minute orientation to the night sky as it will appear during the Lunar Eclipse, which should be visible across North America. 

This video shows the sky (using the excellent Stellarium free planetarium app) as it will look on the night of 18 November through early morning 19 November, from the perspective of a viewer in my part of California (about 35 North latitude). Viewers on the East Coast should add three hours to these times, but will still be able to observe the complete eclipse during the hours before sunrise (given a clear view of the sky with no clouds). 

For other parts of the world, consult your local timetables to see if the Moon will be above the horizon during the hours of the Lunar Eclipse. 

Here is an excellent writeup from Sky & Telescope discussing more details of this particular Lunar Eclipse.

I hope you will have the opportunity to observe this event in person, if you are located in a part of the Earth which will be opposite the Moon during its passage through our planet's shadow.

New short video about Maya lintel from Bonampak

Two years ago, on 09 November 2019, I published a post with a video discussing my visit to the incredible cast replicas of Maya stelae which are displayed in the Museum of Man in San Diego (since renamed the "Museum of Us"). 

On that visit, I encountered a display which discusses artwork found on a lintel at the Maya site of Bonampak, dated to about AD 750 (or, if you prefer, 750 CE) -- artwork which the museum display describes as evidence that the Maya must have been far more warlike and less peace-loving than historians had previously believed, but that conclusion is based on the failure by conventional academia to recognize the overwhelming evidence which shows that the scene from that Maya lintel is celestial in nature, based on the same ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor which underlies the sacred stories and sacred artwork of cultures around the globe.

I decided to make a new and very short video highlighting the evidence of the celestial foundations of this particular scene. The video is only two minutes long and has no sound -- just some images and text.
