I expect a stock market crash soon, a slight rebound and then an even bigger crash. Two years ago I already moved all my mutual funds to bonds just before the crash when Covid started and oil went up, maybe a day late on that actually. So I had mostly bonds already but all mutual funds I was investing in for the last two years I set up late last night and moved all to bonds and all future investments to bonds. Then I just found this article when I googled "stock market bubble" https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-indicator-211-percent-stock-market-bubble-asset-crash-2022-1

Yes. Correct. I don't know. She didn't have any more information regarding the Yale tracking of Ukraine kids that seems to have been stopped.

Today 3/19/2025 Trump asked Zelensky "about the children who had gone missing from Ukraine during the war, including the ones who had been abducted". She added that the US president vowed to "work closely" with both the Russian and Ukrainian sides to ensure those children are returned him.

He wrote a report? Are you sure about that? Link? I don't think he documented anything. The document was based on the investigation of JFKs assasination based on what his friend reported him telling them. That's not the same as him writing a report himself. https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/jfk-files-who-is-gary-underhill-in-assassination-files/ -

Meanwhile, one of the pros Kennedy had approached, New York union leader Dennis Rivera, assured him at a meeting on St. Patrick’s Day 1999 that state Democratic power brokers would tell Clinton to “stand back” should Kennedy chose to enter the race, Gillon writes. For his part, Kennedy was hesitant, asking “will people take me seriously?” before bailing on the race days later. “I don’t think it’s time for me,” Gillon quotes him as saying. Besides, the author adds, Kennedy’s magazine, which sought to highlight the connection between politics and entertainment, was struggling. And his young marriage required nurturing. Clinton, meanwhile, forged ahead with her plans. On July 6, she filed the paperwork required by the Federal Election Commission to begin raising money. That was followed by her “listening tour” to see if New Yorkers would accept someone who had never lived in the state as a candidate to represent the them in the Senate. -
Israel Intelligence is linked to THE INVESTIGATION OF THE Kennedy assassination, not to the planned or carried-out killing itself.

If you believe the CIA was involved based on one guy's friends hearsay that a small CIA clique killed Kennedy because he was on to their illicit money laundering, drugs, etc scam, then I don't know what to tell you. Anyway, that's not the same as the leader(s) of the CIA being involved for political reasons. -
If those documents are legitimate, the Israeli Intelligence in brackets to be redacted was a decision back in 1998.

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/15/us/billie-sol-estes-texas-con-man-dies-at-88.html Billie Sol Estes, a fast-talking Texas swindler who made millions, went to prison and captivated America for years with mind-boggling agricultural scams, payoffs to politicians and bizarre tales of covered-up killings and White House conspiracies, was found dead on Tuesday at his home in Granbury, Tex. He was 88. He died in his sleep and was found in his recliner, Mr. Estes’s daughter Pamela Padget said. Nonexistent fertilizer tanks. Faked mortgages. Bogus cotton-acreage allotments. Farmers in four states bamboozled. Strange “suicides,” including a bludgeoned investigator shot five times with a bolt-action rifle. Assassination plots. Jimmy Hoffa and Fidel Castro. Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald. The rise and fall of Billie Sol Estes was one of the sensations of the postwar era: the saga of a good-ol’-boy con man who created a $150 million empire of real and illusory farming enterprises that capitalized on his contacts in Washington and the gullibility and greed of farmers, banks and agriculture businesses. He was a Bible-thumping preacher who gave barbecues for governors and senators, rode his bike to work in Pecos, Tex., and his airplane to Washington, and was named one of America’s 10 outstanding young men of 1953 by the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce. Later, autographed photos of John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson and others lined his walls. As his empire crumbled in 1962, the notoriety of Billie Sol, as nearly everyone in America called him, might have been passing had it not been for the bodies that kept cropping up, for the bribery scandals and fraud in federal farm programs, and for Mr. Estes’s own lurid accounts of how it all happened and who was involved. Many of his statements were self-serving and never proved — particularly allegations about Johnson. Mr. Estes said that he had given millions to Johnson, and that Johnson, while he was vice president, had ordered seven killings disguised as suicides or accidents to cover up his connections to the frauds and had then set up the assassination of Kennedy in 1963 to become president. The Estes chronicles filled newspapers and magazines, inspired books and songs, created new lines for comedians and conspiracy theorists, and played out politically in myriad ways. Scandal-loving Americans lapped them up. Mr. Estes’s smiling, dimpled moon face — with a liquid fertilizer tank in the background — was on the cover of Time magazine on May 25, 1962, then its all-time best-selling issue. “This government is staying right on Mr. Estes’s tail,” a harried President Kennedy said at an overflowing news conference as he, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman were thrown on the defensive by almost daily revelations in the serpentine scandal. Administration officials were fired. Congressmen who had taken favors were mortified. Scores of F.B.I. agents were dispatched to Texas to investigate suspicious deaths. Richard M. Nixon, then running for governor in California, called it “the biggest national scandal since Teapot Dome.” Political cartoonists had a field day, caricaturing Mr. Estes and Washington as mired in the same farm muck. ... In 1963, Mr. Estes was convicted on federal charges and sentenced to 15 years. A state conviction was overturned on grounds of prejudicial news coverage. After exhausting appeals and serving six years, he was paroled in 1971. In 1979, he was convicted of tax fraud and served four more years. He was released in 1983. A year later, in what he called a voluntary statement to clear the record, Mr. Estes told a Texas grand jury that Johnson, as vice president in 1961, had ordered that Mr. Marshall be killed to prevent him from disclosing Johnson’s ties to the Estes conspiracies. He said a Johnson aide, Malcolm Wallace, had shot him. The Justice Department asked Mr. Estes for more information, and the response was explosive. For a pardon and immunity from prosecution, he promised to detail eight killings arranged by Johnson, including the Kennedy assassination. He said that Mr. Wallace had not only persuaded Jack Ruby to recruit Lee Harvey Oswald, but that Mr. Wallace had also fired a shot in Dallas that hit the president. Mr. Estes also claimed knowledge of a White House plan to kill Fidel Castro and a plot by the former Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa to kill Robert Kennedy. Mr. Estes reiterated his allegations in a book, “JFK, the Last Standing Man” (2003), written with William Reymond, and a memoir, “Billie Sol Estes: A Texas Legend” (2004). As with similar allegations in books, articles and documentaries over the years, none of the Estes claims could be proved. Johnson had died in 1973, and everyone else, except Mr. Estes, was also dead. -

Trump launches large-scale strikes on Yemen's Houthis, at least 24 killed 🏆
Gepetto replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
https://www.timesofisrael.com/houthis-claim-2-attacks-on-uss-truman-us-strikes-said-to-target-seized-israel-linked-ship/ Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed on Monday to have twice attacked an American aircraft carrier group within 24 hours, calling it retaliation for deadly US strikes. The Houthis initially said they launched 18 missiles and a drone at the “aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships” in the Red Sea, before hours later claiming to have fired a second round. There was no immediate comment on the record from the United States about the Houthis’ claimed attacks. According to a US official speaking on condition of anonymity, the Houthis did fire drones and at least one missile in its first claimed attack. The official said that beginning at about midnight Saturday-Sunday local time in Yemen, the Houthis fired 11 drones and at least one missile over about 12 hours. Ten of the drones were intercepted by US Air Force fighter jets and one was intercepted by a Navy F/A-18 fighter jet. The missile fell into the water far from the ship, and nothing came close to hitting either the carrier or the warships in its strike group. -

ESPN was covering the game. His statement concerning the Suns no effort in the first half was spot on. -
