On the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a group of over 60 prominent American citizens, calling itself The Truth and Reconciliation Committee, is calling upon Congress to reopen the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Signers of the joint statement include Isaac Newton Farris Jr., nephew of Reverend King and past president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Reverend James M. Lawson Jr., a close collaborator of Reverend King; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, children of the late senator. Other signatories include G. Robert Blakey, the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, which determined in 1979 that President Kennedy was the victim of a probable conspiracy; Dr. Robert McClelland, one of the surgeons at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas who tried to save President Kennedy's life and saw clear evidence he had been struck by bullets from the front and the rear; Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon Papers whistleblower who served as a national security advisor to the Kennedy White House; Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University and a leading global authority on human rights; Hollywood artists Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner and Oliver Stone; political satirist Mort Sahl; and musician David Crosby.
Several noted historians, authors and journalists have also called for new investigations and the release of all government records in accordance with public disclosure acts. Specifically, the JFK Records Act, which called for the full disclosure of all documents by 2017 which has been defied by Trump and all relevant government agencies.
According to a statement in OpEd News, "The Truth and Reconciliation Committee views its joint statement as the opening of a long campaign aimed at shining a light on dark national secrets. As the public transparency campaign proceeds, citizens across the country will be encouraged to add their names to the petition. The national effort seeks to confront the forces behind America's democratic decline, a reign of secretive power that long precedes the recent rise of authoritarianism."
Historian James Douglass, author of "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters," issued this statement, "The organized killing of JFK, Malcolm X, Martin, and RFK was a mortal attack on our democracy. We've been walking in the valley of the dead ever since. Our campaign is all about recovering the truth embodied in the movement they led. Yes, the transforming, reconciling power of truth will indeed set us free."
As a lifelong JFK assassination researcher, I have waited over 55 years for such a movement. Will this forceful resolution finally move us closer to an honest and complete public disclosure of the full truth? I'll have to see it to believe it. In the meantime, for those of you who want an immediate glimpse at what really transpired in Dallas in 1963, you can read my book "JFK and the End of America: Inside the LBJ/Allen Dulles Plot that Killed Kennedy."

There are more Children in Trump's Concentration Camps than Previously Reported. Time for Kirstjen "Eva Braun" Nielsen to be Fired.
A new government report indicates that the kidnapping, separation and detention of children is worse than we thought. Which raises two questions: why would we ever believe anything Trump says, and how does Kirstjen Nielsen still have a job?
While the administration said that more than 2,500 children had been kidnapped under in 2018, the Office of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Inspector General has confirmed that officials were separating families long before that. "How many more children were separated is unknown by us and HHS,” the OIG said Thursday. According to NBC News, “some may have been released to family or nonrelative sponsors, but it is not known how many have been reunified.”
Newly empowered House Democrats weighed in on this humanitarian disaster. “I have been seeking information that would help reunify these children since last year, but the Trump administration refuses to comply,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who now leads the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. “As Chairman, I will do everything in my power to obtain the documents I’ve requested to ensure the administration is held accountable for this callous and immoral policy.”
What is unknowable is how the long-term emotional and psychological damage will affect the victimized children. At least there is not a demented Mengele-type doctor performing sadistic experiments on twins, right? The terrible thing is, I wouldn't put it past Herr Gropenfuhrer.
