RICK’S BLOG # 5 JFK

My blog is about “Who Killed JFK?”   I am not a believer that Lee Harvey Oswald made the kill shot.  He may have made the first and second shots.  I have watched many documentaries this month marking the 50th anniversary.  The Smoking Gun makes the most sense to me.  A forensic doctor has studied the entry wound of Kennedy’s head.  First of all it was a hole the size of 6 mm.  Oswald bullets were 6.5. Three bullets were found on the floor of the Book Depository but one was a plug used to keep the barrel clean of dust.  One bullet was found away from the other two and it was the plug.  Oswald must have ejected it before sitting down to shoot the other two shots.   Also the trajectory of the bullet was from the lower left side. It is hard to come in from that angle if you are shooting from the 6th floor of a building.  48 witnesses said the 2nd & 3rd shots were close together.  22 witnesses said they smelled gun smoke.  The wind was blowing 11 mph from the south.  Once again it would be hard to smell gun smoke on the ground if it is coming from the 6th floor of a building.  Even Senator Yarborough smelled gun smoke–he was riding in the car directly behind the Secret Service car.
This is what The Smoking Gun  theorizes:  Secret Service Agent George Hickey was with the force for just 4 months.  His job was to keep the maintenance on the limos.  The night before several of the agents went out drinking in Dallas until the wee hours in the morning.  So Agent Hickey was moved up to riding in the car directly behind President Kennedy.  Hickey heard the first shots and grabbed an AR15 semi-automatic rifle from the floor of the car, (there are pictures back in 1963 showing him with the rifle in his hand moments before the third shot) he turned to look up at the Book Depository building with rifle in hand cocked and ready to fire.  The driver of his car made a sudden hit of the brakes which threw him backwards and he pulled the trigger accidentally. This explains the trajectory of the kill shot-from the lower left.  The AR-15 rifle uses 6mm bullets-explains the entry wound size.  With the wind blowing from the south that would explain why Senator Yarborough and 21 other witnesses smelled gun smoke. The bullet Oswald used was one that would go straight through something, which is why it went through Kennedy and into Connally.  The bullet coming out of the AR15 is one that explodes upon impact.  That would explain the fragments found during the autopsy. There was evidence like rolls of film and notes taken during the autopsy that was all confiscated by the Secret Service before anyone could leave the room.  I ask you WHY?  Maybe to cover up an accident by one of their agents.  This is one of those “huh” moments in life. We all have our beliefs in what really happened.  I have swayed from one idea to another but this one makes the most sense to me.  This also would explain why witnesses said the second and third shots were so close together. Take this as a grain of salt.  We will probably NEVER know what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

Just questioning what the White House is doing?

On October 12, 2013, ABC’s Dianne Sawyer brought us a video of a 9th, yes 9th, General fired from the military this week. It’s even reaching some of the more liberal stations and begging them to ask the question, “What is going on?” It seems President Obama is preparing what he calls “my military” for his version of the final solution. With all the documentation we have, it looks as though he is purging the military for the next step.

We have now seen this official President Obama temper-tantrum in action this week. But is it a temper-tantrum or is there a method to his madness?

We have been warned by a Pentagon Official to expect radical changes. You heard of our dire warnings of Chinese Economists planning to foreclose and forming the TPP Treaty that could set a global economy in motion. We have the very real possibility of 16 U.S. States being shut-down and handed over due to debt in this mess. We even have a CIA whistle blower warning us that President Obama wants to radically take over power. People are crying out, where is our military in this mess?

Well, there seems to be some very credible evidence that since last year and through this year that there has been a “litmus test” given to American Military Officers. The Main point of that test, “Would you fire on an American Citizen?” If you say no, then as Donald Trump would say, “Your fired!” Since the beginning of the year these retired officers have come forward with ““President Obama is preparing for war against the U.S.”. We even know Dr. Garrow and others confirmed this litmus test.

Then we have heard President Obama himself talk about “My Military”.

And this isn’t all. This strange chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th, Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year. This doesn’t include the long list last year, this is just the nine individuals this year alone.

General Carter Hamm, United States Army-Served as head of the United States African Command. Was in charge of the US African command during the fateful night of September 11, 2012 when the lives of four American citizens was taken in the Embassy in Benghazi. Hamm was extremely critical of our Commander and Chief and stated he lied about not having reinforcements in the area on that night. Hamm “resigned and retired” on April of 2013.

Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette/United States Navy-Commander of Carrier Strike Group Three. His most recent activity served as Deputy Commander of the US Naval Forces, US Central Command. He was in charge of Air Craft Carriers in the Mediterranean Sea the night of September 11, 2012. He testified before the hearing committee and said that there may not have been time to get the flight crews there but left the door open on if told when the events took place if that he could have had the aircraft launched upon cross-examination by Rep. Tray Gowdey. Recently fired from the Administrative post and relieved of Duty by the Obama Administration for “utterance of a racial slur”.

Major General Ralph Baker, United States Army- Major General Baker served as the Commander of the Joint Task Force-Horn at Camp Lamar, Djibouti, Africa. Was also involved in some aspect with the incident September 11, 2012, being under the African Command. Had said he believed attack helicopters could have made it in time. Relieved of command and fired for groping a civilian (no assault charges or sexual misconduct charges filed with JAG)

Brigadier General Bryan Roberts, United States Army-General Roberts took command of Fort Jackson in 2011. Was considered a rising star in his field. He served in Iraq during his service as the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and was the Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Recruiting Command, Fort Knox, KY. Relieved of Duty and Fired for Adultery. While this is still on the books in the United States Code of Military Justice, it has rarely been used since President Bill Clinton’s indiscretions.

Major General Gregg A. Sturdevant, United States Marine Corps-Director of Strategic Planning and Policy of for the United States Pacific Command and Commander of the aviation wing at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. Highly decorated soldier with two Naval and Marine Commendations and two Naval and Marine Good Conduct medals. He also has an Air Medal with a gold star. He served honorably and distinctively. He had asked about supplies to his command. He was one of two commanding officers suddenly relieved of command and fired from the military for failure of proper force protection.

Major General Charles M.M. Gurganus, United States Marine Corps- Regional Commander in the Southwest and I Marine Expeditionary Force (a forward or frontal division) in Afghanistan. Also Highly decorated with a Defense Superior Service Medal, two Legion of Merritt w/Valor, and three Meritorious Service Commendations. Major General C.M.M.Gurganus had questioned the use of Afghanistan patrols along side American patrols after two officers were executed at their desk and a platoon was lead into an ambush on the front lines. Was the other commander relieved of duty for failure of proper force protection.

Lieutenant General David Holmes Huntoon Jr, United States Army-Served as the 58th Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He had graduated from the same academy in 1973 and had served in Senior Planning and Education Services through the majority of his career. He was “censored” for “an investigation” into an “improper relationship” according to The Department of Defense. Nothing was released to the nature of the improper relationship. Nothing was even mentioned if an actual investigation even took place.

Vice Admiral Tim Giardina, United States Navy-Deputy Commander of the United States Strategic Command. Commander of the Submarine Group Trident, Submarine Group 9 and Submarine Group 10, where every single one of the 18 Nuclear Submarines with Nuclear Trident Missiles of those three groups were in his command. This commander earned six Legions of Merit, Two Meritorious Service Medals, two Joint Service Commendation Medals, and several other medals, ribbons and decorations in his illustrious career. He was removed from service and fired from the military for the charge of using counterfeit poker chips (not making that up).

Last on the list, Major General Michael Carry, United States Air Force-Commander 20th Air Force in charge of 9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) at three operational wings and served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He was Fired October 11, 2013, for “Personal Misbehavior” is what was told to ABC News. He and Giardina were both the two top Commanders over the United States Nuclear Arsenal before their dismissal within 48 hours of each other.

As ABC News reports, this is an extremely alarming rate and one of the biggest and fastest purges of military personnel ever recorded. It apparently is such a shock at the rate even for a long time veteran of reporting the news as Dianne Sawyer, because at one point she gets heated saying two Commanders of the Nuclear Command.

You don’t put people who are not very intelligent and without a squeaky clean record over that area of the Military. It is enough to make the hardest and staunchest of supporters as the ABC news crew to pause and ask themselves, “what step is he planning?”.

I’ve had many people who have read my book ask me if I ever considered my self an addict and how did I ever stop.  First of all, while doing drugs you never think you are an addict just like an alcoholic never thinks they are an alcoholic.  You think to yourself that you can quit at any time. But when the temptation arises you are the first one in line.  I looked at smoking pot as being recreational just like an alcoholic considers their drinking as just being social.  The end result in both cases you do it to catch a buzz and to escape from reality for a while.  The problem is when you come back down off your buzz reality smacks you right in your face.  To quit anything whether it is drugs, cigarettes, or alcohol you have to want to or have to.  What I mean by have to is a doctor telling you if you don’t quit you will die. I was tired of hearing a siren and wondering if the law was coming after me.  I thought the law of averages were building up against me.  Eventually my luck would run out and I would end up in jail. I would not be able to see my kids and future grand kids.  That fear was greater than the high I was getting.  I quit cold turkey.  I have never looked back.  Quitting is not impossible but it is not easy.  Like I said you have to really want to or you never will.

I’m going to vent today.  It pisses me off that every time there is a mass shooting the news media has to glorify the shooter.  Within minutes to hours we know his name and all about him.  They give him his fifteen minutes of fame.  I think if we simply call him “the shooter”  and never give his or her name there might be less crazy people trying to make a name for themselves.  It seems like all they want to do is something worse than the last crazy nut that the news media glorified.   How can you be famous even for doing something crazy if we don’t tell the world what your name is?   The next one may see that if he doesn’t get any recognition for his stupidity and craziness then why do it?  They want their names to go down in history like Jessie James and Al Capone.  Nobody wants to be remembered as simply “the shooter killed eight people today and was shot and killed himself,” end of story.

RICK CARLE’S BLOG

Rick Carle here.  When I started the journey of writing my memoir, GO FIGURE – My Wacky Journey From Outlaw To Leading Citizen, I had no idea how hard it was going to be. It took forever to come up with enough material to make a 250 page book, not to mention the mental exertion of trying to (accurately) remember all of it. Then came working with an editor through the rewriting process. That took over a year. When I finally reached the final draft, I had to find someone to take it from manuscript form and format it for paperback and e-book version. And let’s not forget hiring someone to design the cover.

The next step was publishing and finding a source to print the books. I decided to go with self-publishing. The book was now ready for print, so I put in my order. Once the first shipment arrived, and there was my “mug shot” on the cover, the excitement was overwhelming. I am now a published author. What a fantastic feeling!

As my brother, the editor, said, THAT was the easy part—now comes the hard part: selling the book. I had many ideas going through my head, like book signings, social media via the Internet, building a web page, email blasts, etc.  I started out by doing two book signings at a Hy-Vee Market & Drug Store. I also have the book for sale on my desk at work, Graham Tire in Fort Dodge, Iowa. I frequently send out emails to friends and acquaintances and ask them to buy my book on Amazon.com so the sale is recorded. That’s how you establish a sales record that can get you various types of free promotion.

I am now learning the next step, which is Twitter and blogging. I have never done either of these before so this is quite a learning process. I will be writing a weekly blog (or approximately thereabouts) sharing my ideas, thoughts, and views. I hope you will follow me each (mostly) week in the wonderful world of blogging. All you have to do is go to my website, www.rickcarlegofigure.com and click on MY BLOGS on the Home page. Thanks you for sharing this adventure with me!
