WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF DANIEL
Early historyThe association was founded by George W. L. Bickley, a Virginia-born doctor, editor, and "adventurer" who lived in Cincinnati. He organized the first castle, or local branch, in Cincinnati in 1854 and soon took the order to the South, where it was well received. It grew slowly until 1859 and reached its height in 1860. Following the Mexican-American War of 1846, the group's original goal was to provide a force to colonize the northern part of Mexico and the West Indies. This would extend pro-slavery interests. The Knights became especially active in Texas. Bickley's main goal was the annexation of Mexico. Hounded by creditors, he left Cincinnati in the late 1850s and traveled through the East and South promoting an expedition to seize Mexico to establish a new territory for slavery. He found his greatest support in Texas. In a short time, he organized thirty-two chapters there. In the spring of 1860, the group made the first of two attempts to invade Mexico from Texas. A small band reached the Rio Grande but failed otherwise. Civil War and demiseIn the SouthwestThe South’s secession and the outbreak of the Civil War prompted a shift in the group's aims from Mexico to support of the new Confederate government. On February 15, 1861, Texas Ranger Ben McCulloch began marching toward the Federal arsenal at San Antonio, Texas, with a cavalry force of about 550 men, about 150 of whom were Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) from six castles. While volunteers continued to join McCulloch the following day, U.S. Army Gen. David E. Twiggs decided to surrender the arsenal peacefully to the secessionists. KGC members also figured prominently among those who, in 1861, joined Lt. Col. John Robert Baylor in his temporarily successful takeover of southern New Mexico Territory. In May 1861, members of the KGC and Confederate Rangers also attacked the building which housed the pro-Union newspaper, the Alamo Express, owned by J. P. Newcomb, and burned it down.[1] Other KGC members followed Brig. Gen. Henry Hopkins Sibley on the 1862 New Mexico Campaign, which sought to bring the whole New Mexico Territory into the Confederate fold. Both Baylor and Trevanion Teel, Sibley's captain of artillery, had been among KGC members who rode with Ben McCulloch. In the NorthIn early 1862, the Order was in the national headlines when Radical Republicans in the Senate, aided by Secretary of State William Seward, suggested that former president Franklin Pierce, who was greatly critical of the Lincoln administration's war policies, was an active member of the Knights of the Golden Circle. Pierce, writing an angry letter to Seward, denied that he knew anything about the Knights of the Golden Circle, and then demanded that his letter be made public, which it subsequently was by California Senator Milton Latham, who entered the entire Pierce-Seward correspondence, which tended to exonerate the former president, into the Congressional Globe. Appealing to the Confederacy's friends in the North, the Order soon spread to Kentucky as well as the southern parts of such Union states as Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri. It became strongest among Copperheads, some of whom felt that the Civil War was a mistake and that the increasing power of the Federal government was leading to tyranny. In the summer of 1863, Congress authorized a military draft which the administration soon put into operation though others were just supporters of slavery. Loyalist Leaders of the Democratic Party opposed to Abraham Lincoln's administration denounced the draft and other wartime measures, such as the President's temporary suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and the arrest of seditious persons. During the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign, scam artists in south-central Pennsylvania sold Pennsylvania Dutch farmers paper tickets purported to be from the Knights of the Golden Circle for a dollar. Along with a series of secret hand gestures, these tickets were supposed to protect the possessions and horses of the ticket holders from seizure by invading Confederate soldiers.[2] When Jubal Early's infantry division passed through York County, Pennsylvania, they scoffed at the ticket holders and took what they needed anyway. They often paid with Confederate currency or drafts on the Confederate government. Cavalry commander J.E.B. Stuart also reported the alleged KGC tickets when documenting the campaign.[3] Also in 1863, Asbury Harpending and California members of the Knights of the Golden Circle in San Francisco outfitted the schooner J. M. Chapman as a Confederate privateer in San Francisco Bay with the object of raiding commerce on the Pacific coast and capture gold shipments to the east coast. Their attempt was detected and they were seized on the night of their intended departure.[4][5] In late 1863, the Knights of the Golden Circle was reorganized as the Order of American Knights. In 1864, it became the Order of the Sons of Liberty, with Ohio politician Clement L. Vallandigham, most prominent of the Copperheads, as its supreme commander. In most areas only a minority of its membership was radical enough to discourage enlistments, resist the draft, and shield deserters. Numerous peace meetings were held. A few agitators, some of them encouraged by Southern money, talked of a revolt in the Old Northwest, which could have ended the war.[6] Southern newspapers wishfully reported stories of widespread disaffection in the North. John Hunt Morgan's 1863 Great Raid into Indiana and Ohio was initiated in the expectation that the disaffected element would rally to his standard. Governor Oliver P. Morton of Indiana and General Henry B. Carrington effectively curbed the Sons of Liberty in the fall of 1864. In early 1864, Rufus Henry Ingram formerly with Quantrill's Raiders arrived in Santa Clara County and with Tom Poole, (formerly one of Harpending's privateer crewmen), organized local Knights of the Golden Circle and commanded them in what became known as Captain Ingram's Partisan Rangers. In attempt to raise funds to support their unit they robbed two stagecoaches near Placerville of their silver and gold, leaving a letter explaining they were not bandits but carrying out a military operation to raise funds for the Confederacy. However they soon were hunted down and dispersed after a couple of dramatic shootouts near Placerville and San Jose.[7] With mounting Union victories late in 1864 and the reelection of Lincoln, the order's agitation for a negotiated peace lost appeal, and the organization officially dissolved. Alleged membersSkull & Bones Society
(INCORPORATED IN 1856 under the name "THE RUSSELL TRUST ASSOCIATION" by an act of CONGRESS IN 1943.....Special Priviliges are given to these CORPORATE CRIMINALS....even today in 2009) The origin of the Skull & Bones Society, once known as The Brotherhood of Death, in the U.S. begins at Yale when a group of men established an organization for the purpose of drug smuggling. Indeed, many American and European fortunes were built on the China (opium) trade. [The Secret Origins of Skull & Bones] The society's alumni organization, which owns its properties and oversees all the organization's activity, is known as the Russell Trust Association (R.T.A.), and is named after one of Bones' founding members. FROM CBS NEWS AND GOOGLED "SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY": CBS) "As opposite as George Bush and John Kerry may seem to be, they do share a common secret - one they've shared for decades, and one they will not share with the electorate. The following text is taken from chapter 7 of: The Tomb George Bush, in fact, passed his most important days and nights at Yale in the strange companionship of the senior-year Skull and Bones Society. 6 Out of those few who were chosen for Bones membership, George was the last one to be notified of his selection -- this honor is traditionally reserved for the highest of the high and mighty. His father, Prescott Bush, several other relatives and partners, and Roland and Averell Harriman, who sponsored the Bush family, were also members of this secret society.... The order was incorporated in 1856 under the name "Russell Trust Association." By special act of the state legislature in 1943, its trustees are exempted from the normal requirement of filing corporate reports with the Connecticut secretary of state. As of 1978, all business of the Russell Trust [which founded Skull and Bones] was handled by its lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden, Jr. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner Prescott Bush, George Bush's father. Each year, Skull and Bones members select ("tap") 15 third-year Yale students to replace them in the senior group the following year. Graduating members are given a sizeable cash bonus to help them get started in life. Older graduate members, the so-called "Patriarchs," give special backing in business, politics, espionage and legal careers to graduate Bonesmen who exhibit talent or usefulness. The home of Skull and Bones on the Yale campus is a stone building resembling a mausoleum, and known as "the Tomb." Initiations take place on Deer Island in the St. Lawrence River (an island owned by the Russell Trust Association), with regular reunions on Deer Island and at Yale. Initiation rites reportedly include strenuous and traumatic activities of the new member, while immersed naked in mud, and in a coffin. More important is the "sexual autobiography": The initiate tells the order all the sex secrets of his young life. Weakened mental defenses against manipulation, and the blackmail potential of such information, have obvious permanent uses in enforcing loyalty among members. The loyalty is intense. One of Bush's former teachers, whose own father was a Skull and Bones member, told our interviewer that his father used to stab his little Skull and Bones pin into his skin to keep it in place when he took a bath. Members continue throughout their lives to unburden themselves on their psycho-sexual thoughts to their Bones Brothers, even if they are no longer sitting in a coffin. This has been the case with President George Bush, for whom these ties are reported to have a deep personal meaning. Beyond the psychological manipulation associated with freemasonic mummery, there are very solid political reasons for Bush's strong identification with this cult.... Skull and Bones -- the Russell Trust Association -- was first established among the class graduating from Yale in 1833. Its founder was William Huntington Russell of Middletown, Connecticut. The Russell family was the master of incalculable wealth derived from the largest U.S. criminal organization of the nineteenth century: Russell and Company, the great opium syndicate. There was at that time a deep suspicion of, and national revulsion against, freemasonry and secret organizations in the United States, fostered in particular by the anti-masonic writings of former U.S. President John Quincy Adams. Adams stressed that those who take oaths to politically powerful international secret societies cannot be depended on for loyalty to a democratic republic. But the Russells were protected as part of the multiply intermarried grouping of families then ruling Connecticut. The blood-proud members of the Russell, Pierpont, Edwards, Burr, Griswold, Day, Alsop, and Hubbard families were prominent in the pro-British party within the state. Many of their sons would be among the members chosen for the Skull and Bones Society over the years. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/02/60minutes/main576332.shtml

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO JFK JR. IN 1999?
The report of the National Transportation Safety Board came out on August 8, 2000, 13 months after the plane crash of JFK Jr. It contradicts many of the lies pushed in the media. For example, the L.A. Times reported “The accident that killed Kennedy was caused by an inexperienced pilot …the NTSB concluded in its final report” (LA TIMES, 7/7/00, page 1). In fact, the NTSB report shows that Kennedy was highly experienced (he had more than enough hours for an instructor’s license), he was described by his trainers as “excellent”, “methodical”, and “very cautious.” (NTSB report, page 3) The media say the visibility was poor. But the NTSB quotes the Tower manager at Martha’s Vineyard, where the plane went down, saying that there were “stars out” and visibility was “between 10 and 12 miles” (NTSB report, page 5). Why did the media lie? Why have they always lied about the murder of his father? Was John Kennedy Jr. murdered? Judge for yourself. 1) the rescue: This is enormously important. FAA radar tracked Kennedy’s plane crash. The U.S. Coast Guard has reported that Kennedy contacted the tower on his final approach. THIS IS ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT!!! It means they would have known his plane was going down before it hit the water. FAA regulations require that a search begin immediately when a plane reports itself on final approach and does not land within 5 minutes. Yet it took them 14½ hours to send the first planes and boats to Martha’s Vineyard. (Boston Herald, 7/20/99 “Time gaps in early hours of search are beyond explanation” Jack Sullivan and David Talbot) (LINK5)WHY? 2) the plane: Kennedy’s plane had autopilot, capable of flying itself to within 100 feet of the airport. All a “cautious and methodical” pilot had to do was sit back and let the plane fly itself. (NTSB report, page 18) 3) the sabotage: Kennedy’s plane had a black box. No other private non-jet plane on earth had one. He knew they wanted to kill him and he wanted to make it hard. The NTSB, says the battery had been removed, destroying all record of conversation in the cockpit. (NTSB page 10) All planes have an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), which sends out a beacon signal in case of a crash. It took 5 days to locate Kennedy’s plane. Why? Was it missing? Disabled? The report says nothing. According to the NTSB report, the fuel valve had been turned to OFF (NTSB report, page 12). This valve had a safety device on it so that it could not accidentally be turned to OFF. Turning it off during flight would be suicide, since at top speed, the engine will die in 45 seconds!! Because the results are potentially deadly, the valve cannot be turned by accident. A safety-release button must be pushed down and held while turning the valve. This piece of evidence is the smoking gun. It is positive proof of foul play. Was Kennedy committing suicide? If he wasn’t, there can scarcely be any question but that he was murdered. So who turned the valve? Read on. Kennedy’s flight logbook is missing. (NTSB report, page 2) This will be seen as critical in one minute, because the logbook would have recorded the presence of a flight instructor on the plane. The media talked about a “graveyard spiral” and various forms of disorientation. The NTSB report describes Kennedy’s plane making two mild explainable maneuvers; and then the plan plunged drastically to the right and plummeted straight down, crashing 2600 feet in 45 seconds. It sounds like someone grabbed the controls and suddenly shoved the plane into the water. But this description of a suicide plunge is consistent with the “suicide” position of the fuel valve. 4) the flight instructor: All of the early reports said there was a flight instructor on the plane (e.g. The New York Times, Saturday July 17, 1999). Then the flight instructor disappeared from the reports. Kennedy very rarely flew at night without a flight instructor. Out of 310 hours of flight time, and 55 hours at night, he had only 45 minutes at night without an instructor. (LINK12)He was very cautious. He had his wife on board. It is almost unthinkable that he would not have taken an instructor. 5) Egypt Air 990: Two months later Egyptian Air flight 990, with 30 of the highest ranking members of the Egyptian military on board, crashed. (It was big news for several days. The pilot’s family and the Egyptian government objected to the NTSB finding that the pilot was committing suicide. “He was happily married. Moslems don’t commit suicide” etc.) This pilot had walked into the cockpit, said “Allah help me’, grabbed the controls, and tried to force the plane to crash. Three other pilots, grabbed him, and there was a struggle; he gave up, turned around, and he turned the fuel valve OFF. Both pilots, Kennedy’s flight instructor and the Egyptian, were programmed, using hypnosis or other mind control, to act in exactly the same way. The CIA has settled lawsuits by victims of their mind control experiments, the MK Ultra program. One of the physicians, Dr. John Gittinger, Chief Psychologist of the CIA, tortured by his conscience, has come forward to expose the existence of these programs and their purpose: to create walking, pre-programmed human time bombs, set to go off on cue, taking out their intended victim. Kennedy’s emergency locator was removed, the cockpit recorder was disabled, the flight log was taken, and the body of the flight instructor was removed. (But they forgot to return the fuel valve to ON!!) They delayed the rescue 14 hours to do it. They were waiting in the water for the plane to crash. Who was? Who indeed? But why would anyone want to kill John Kennedy Jr.? He was planning to run for National office according to Newsweek and People. He told friends he would have run for Senate in New York, but let Hillary Clinton run instead. And he would have won. He was the most popular man in the US. And for good reason. He was a great guy. But he was the only Kennedy to ever acknowledge a conspiracy in his father’s death. He not only acknowledge it, he published an article by Oliver Stone, in his magazine, George, about assassination, conspiracies, and lying history books. Who would want to kill him? The people who killed his father had to kill him. Kennedy Jr. was going to go after them. So, who killed his father? George Herbert Walker Bush.

FROM THE BBC 1963: Kennedy 'assassin' murdered The man accused of assassinating the US President, John F Kennedy, has himself been shot dead in a Dallas police station.
Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old former Marine, was being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail, at the centre of a large crowd of police officers, reporters and camera crews. The event was being covered live on television, and Americans across the country watched in astonishment as a man - later identified as Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner - stepped forward, drew a gun and shot Mr Oswald at point-blank range.
An ambulance rushed Mr Oswald to the Parkland Hospital - the same hospital which had fought to save President Kennedy's life two days earlier - but he died within minutes of his arrival. Mr Oswald was arrested about an hour after the assassination of John F Kennedy, carried out as the President's motorcade passed through the Dealey Plaza in Dallas. He was initially taken into custody for the murder of a policeman, JD Tippit, who appears to have recognised him and approached him just 45 minutes after the killing of the President. Soon after, Mr Oswald was also charged with the President's assassination. He strongly denied that he carried out the assassination, saying to reporters, "I'm just a patsy." Police gave no explanation of how Jack Ruby came to be in the police headquarters. The building had been under heavy guard after several calls making threats against Oswald's life. Ruby came to Dallas from Chicago 10 years ago. He runs a downtown striptease club, and is said to have links with organised criminals. Police said Ruby had told them, "I didn't want to be a hero - I did it for Jacqueline Kennedy." They said he wanted to spare the president's wife the ordeal of the trial of the man accused of killing her husband.
ARLEN SPECTER'S
The Single Bullet Theory IF you believe what the conspiracy books say the Warren Commission believed about the Single Bullet Theory, you would have to conclude the commissioners and staff of the commission were a bunch of fools. Conspiracy authors always show Connally seated directly in front of Kennedy, at the same height, and facing forward. You've seen Kevin Costner do this sort of thing. The graphic at right, taken from Groden and Livingstone's High Treason is an example of this. Could Commission Exhibit 399, which conspiracists have christened the "Magic Bullet," have done what the Warren Commission said it did?
To view these video sequences you will need Real Player. The Back and Throat WoundsThe other missile entered the right superior posterior thorax above the scapula and traversed the soft tissues of the supra-scapular and the supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck. This missile produced contusions of the right apical parietal pleura and of the apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. The missile contused the strap muscles of the right side of the neck, damaged the trachea and made its exit through the anterior surface of the neck. Warren Commission Report, p. 543. But how could the facesheet show that dot in a lower location, yet describe the wound in a higher location, 14 cm. below the tip of the mastoid process, and above the scapula? Are Autopsy Face Sheets Supposed to be Drawn to Scale?The Throat WoundOne piece of evidence the conspiracy authors use for a "high" location for the throat wound is the testimony of Dr. Charles Carrico. Before the Warren Commission, he supposedly said that the wound was "above the tie." In fact, his testimony isn't quite as the conspiracy authors represent it. This is his testimony, including the context. Another thing to remember here is that in his "Admission Note," written on November 22, 1963, Carrico said the wound was in the "lower 1/3" of the neck.

FROM THE BBC in 1963 1963: John F Kennedy is laid to rest on November 25, 1963 (JFK Jr.'s 3rd Birthday...I was 2 years old, living in Philadelphia and went to Washington D.C. to mourn the death of President Kennedy on November 24th 1963.) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() November 25th, 1963 The funeral of the assassinated President, John F Kennedy, has taken place in Washington. An estimated 800,000 Americans lined the streets to watch the coffin's procession from the Capitol, where the president's body had lain in state since yesterday. The crowd stood in silence, punctuated only by the sound of weeping, as the funeral procession made its way towards St Matthew's Cathedral in central Washington. The coffin, draped with the Stars and Stripes, lay on a gun carriage drawn by six grey horses. A black riderless horse pranced along behind. Distinguished mourners Mr Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, and her two children, three-year-old John Kennedy junior, and five-year-old Caroline, rode behind in a black car, accompanied by his brothers, Robert and Edward. Then came the long procession of guests, representing every continent in the world in one of the most distinguished gathering of foreign dignitaries ever assembled in the history of the United States. They included, for Britain, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, and the Leader of the Opposition, Harold Wilson. President de Gaulle of France was among them, as was President de Valera of Ireland, Chancellor Erhard of West Germany, and the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie. Also among the mourners, in a poignant recognition of the dead president's efforts to foster peace around the world, was the Soviet first deputy Prime Minister, Anastas Mikoyan, representing Nikolai Khrushchev. A child's salute The requiem mass at St Matthew's was led by Cardinal Cushing of Boston. It included a reading of the entire inaugural address, delivered by John F Kennedy in January 1961, with perhaps his most famous words: "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." As the coffin left the church after the ceremony, three-year-old John Kennedy Junior was seen to step forward for a moment and put his hand to his forehead in what appeared to be a childish salute. The president was buried in Arlington Cemetery to a 21-gun salute and three musket volleys. As a bugle sounded the Last Post, the remains of John F Kennedy were lowered into the grave. The time was 2034 GMT, and the short but momentous era of America's youngest elected president was over.

WHAT WERE MARILYN MONROE, RFK, AND JFK DISCUSSING AT PETER LAWFORD'S BEACH HOUSE ON NOVEMBER 19th, 1961?
On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe helped to celebrate John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday at a spectacular party in Madison Square Garden. JFK's joke about Monroe's "sweet and wholesome" rendition of "Happy Birthday" was inspired not only by her scorching delivery, but also by the skin-tight dress into which she had been sewn for the occasion. The original cost of the dress in 1962 was $12,000 In 1999, the dress fetched over $1.26 million at a New York auction. The explanation for this fantastic price lies partly in the fact that Monroe wore it in her last important public performance, and partly in the fact that it has come to be seen as symbolic evidence of her sexual relationship with Kennedy. While nothing about this affair appeared in print while Monroe and Kennedy were alive, it is now routinely reported as certain in biographical accounts of both figures. SHE WAS FOUND DEAD IN HER BRENTWOOD, CALIFORNIA HOME ON AUGUST 5, 1962 WHAT DID THE AUTOPSY CONCLUDE? MURDER, OVERDOSE OR SUICIDE?

A New Chapter In The Mystery Of Marilyn: It remains one of On August 5, 1962, the body of Marilyn Monroe was found in the bedroom of her An autopsy conducted by Dr. Thomas Noguchi, then deputy medical examiner, concluded that death was due to acute barbiturate poisoning, and a psychiatric team tied to the investigation termed it a "probable suicide." Today, 43 years later, fans from around the world will gather, as they have for decades, near But there is bitterness and frustration as well for the former Whether Enough credence was given to the various reports that in 1982, the The resulting report notes that Miner mentioned the tapes. However, he did not say he had a transcript. Although the report concedes that "factual discrepancies" and "unanswered questions" remained in the case, it did not find enough evidence to warrant launching a criminal investigation. As head of the D.A.'s medical-legal section when Miner said he took "extensive" and "nearly verbatim" notes, and only broke the promise years after Greenson's death, when some Miner's transcript shows Monroe obsessing about the Oscars, describing a sexual encounter with Joan Crawford, craving a father's love from Clark Gable, yearning to be taken seriously as an actress by contemplating doing Shakespeare, and speaking candidly about why her marriages to baseball slugger Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller ended in divorce. At one point, she describes standing naked in front of her full-length mirror assessing the body that captivated the world, knowing that she is slipping into middle age, and commenting that "my breasts are beginning to sag a bit" but "my waist isn't bad" and her buttocks are still "the best." "You are the only person who will ever know the most private, the most secret thoughts of Marilyn Monroe," she tells Greenson, according to Miner's transcript. "I have absolute confidence and trust you will never reveal to a living soul what I say to you." Miner contends that anyone reading the transcript would conclude that "there was no possible way this woman could have killed herself. She had very specific plans for her future. She knew exactly what she wanted to do. She was told by [acting coach] Lee Strasberg, maybe ill-advisedly, that she had Shakespeare in her and she was fascinated with the idea." Miner has shown the transcript to several authors in recent years. In British author Matthew Smith's book "Marilyn's Last Words: Her Secret Tapes and Mysterious Death," the excerpts cover the early portion of the tapes, which have Monroe musing on Freud and free association, orgasms, Gable and her agent, Johnny Hyde. Miner was also interviewed for a 1997 ABC documentary called "Dangerous World: The Kennedy Years," but ultimately no excerpts from the transcript were used. The previously unpublished portions of the transcript include descriptions of her feelings for her ex-husbands, a dissection of why her marriages failed, a racy catalog of supposed sexual encounters, details of her dispute with 20th Century Fox, her friendship with Frank Sinatra, and her complaints about housekeeper Eunice Murray, who would discover her body. Smith and Hersh, along with the documentary's producer, Mark Obenhaus, said in interviews this week that they found Miner credible. But to accept Miner's story, one must make a leap of faith - he is the only one still alive who claims to have heard the tapes. Greenson died in 1979, and Miner believes that he destroyed the tapes. "It's like a one-sourced story," Obenhaus said. "You have one guy; he's a credible guy, but he's just one guy." Smith, who said he paid Miner a fee, which he declined to disclose, for use of the Monroe transcript, added: "I believe he is a man of integrity. I've looked at the contents of the tapes, of course, and, frankly, I would think it entirely impossible for John Miner to have invented what he put forward - absolutely impossible." Ronald H. "Mike" Carroll, a former L.A. County deputy district attorney who conducted the 1982 review of Monroe's death, said he and a D.A.'s investigator interviewed Miner for their report and, although he mentioned that Greenson had tapes of the actress, there was no hint that Miner had a transcript. Carroll, the No. 3 prosecutor in the D.A.'s office at the time, who has since retired, said that had he any inkling that Miner was harboring the transcript, he would have obtained a grand jury subpoena to force Miner to hand them over so that he could include them in his report. Miner said he couldn't speak about the transcript then because of his promise to Greenson. "Greenson … was absolutely committed to protecting the privacy of his patients," Miner recalled. "He felt he could not let me see what she had said if there was any possibility that her privacy would be violated." So Miner gave his word. When some suggested that Greenson himself was the actress' killer, Miner went to the psychiatrist's widow and asked for permission to be released from the promise. Greenson's widow, Hildegard, told The Times this week that she didn't know if the tapes existed and never heard her husband discuss them. Still, she does not discount that "That seems like something my husband would do," she said. "He might want to play it to show how she felt and what was going on with her." At the time of the recordings, No one has established the exact date that the recordings were made, although the JFK reference would put it after her singing tribute, a little more than two months before she died. Smith says his research suggests that Hollywood columnist James Bacon, now 91, who met Monroe when she was an unknown in 1949 and would later become a close friend, was at "She was drinking champagne and straight vodka and occasionally popping a pill," Bacon told The Times. "I said, 'Marilyn, the combination of pills and alcohol will kill you.' And she said, 'It hasn't killed me yet.' Then she took another drink and popped another pill. I know at night she took barbiturates." But Bacon added: "She wasn't the least bit depressed. She was talking about going to In the transcript, "And you are going to hear bad language," she warns Greenson. Although She talks about her admiration for Gable, her co-star in "The Misfits": "In the kissing scenes, I kissed him with real affection. I didn't want to go to bed with him, but I wanted him to know how much I liked and appreciated him." And she lambasted members of the Her love for DiMaggio was undimmed. "I love him and always will," she says. "But Joe couldn't stay married to Marilyn Monroe, the famous movie star. Joe has an image in his stubborn Italian head of a traditional Italian wife. She would have to be faithful, do what he tells her, devote all of herself to him. Doctor, you know that's not me." It was different with Miller. "Marrying him was my mistake, not his. He couldn't give me the attention, warmth and affection I need. It's not in his nature. Arthur never credited me with much intelligence. He couldn't share his intellectual life with me. As bed partners, we were so-so." Of her one-night affair with Joan Crawford, she said: "Next time I saw Crawford, she wanted another round. I told her straight-out I didn't much enjoy doing it with a woman. After I turned her down, she became spiteful." In the tapes, As for the president's brother, Robert F. Kennedy, the In the transcripts, As he listened to "You'd have to be without capacity for empathy or emotion" if you weren't moved, he said. Miner, who collaborated with Dr. Seymour Pollack to create the USC Institute of Psychiatry, Law and Behavioral Science in 1963 and taught there over the years, said he would like to see a "re-autopsy" conducted to clear up medical questions that he noticed in the original. "The autopsy clearly shows that the barbiturates - of a massive amount - that entered her body came in through the large intestine," he said. "How do we know that? We know that because there is no indication, in fact there is contraindication, that the capsules were swallowed." He believes that had He also discounts the possibility that she was given a "hot shot" injection of the drugs since neither he nor Noguchi could find any sign of needle marks on her body. (Both the original autopsy report and the 1982 review came to the same conclusion.) Miner had hoped to get Noguchi's support for another autopsy. Noguchi's attorney, Godfrey Isaac, said the former coroner was traveling in It is Miner's theory that the actress took or was given chloral hydrate to render her unconscious - possibly in a soft drink - and someone then dissolved Nembutal in water by breaking open 30 or more capsules and administered the lethal solution by enema. He said that he and Noguchi noticed a discoloration of the large intestine in the original autopsy and that there is a possibility that if the body were exhumed, tissue samples could be taken to determine if she had been given an enema filled with enough drugs to be toxic. Carroll said he had no objections to another autopsy and stressed that he had "no vested interest" in the outcome. But he noted that in his review, he talked to an independent expert, Dr. Boyd G. Stephens, former chief medical examiner-coroner for the city and county of San Francisco, who said the amount of Nembutal in the liver was about twice as much as in the blood, suggesting that the person lived for "quite a period of time" after ingesting the drugs. Carroll told The Times that if Monroe had an enema containing the drugs, it would have gotten into her system rapidly and "you wouldn't expect it to have that ratio in the liver." The D.A.'s review concluded that "the cumulative evidence available to us fails to support any theory of criminal conduct relating to her death." Source: http://tinyurl.com/7o4zt xoxoxoxo
by Joal Ryan Marilyn Monroe was killed by what she loved: An enema. Such is the conclusion of a former Excerpts of John W. Miner's transcripts were published in the The nude body of "Marilyn Monroe bears the stigma of suicide," the 86-year-old Miner writes in a blow-by-blow accounting of the case, also posted on the Times' Website. "That is wrong and must be corrected." Miner argues that it was unlikely that The rumor mill long has been churning out murder suspects with regards to the Monroe death--from CIA operatives to the Kennedys, the latter fueled by Monroe's reputed affairs with both President John F. Kennedy and his brother, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In his writing, Miner himself doesn't name names. His To Miner, the transcripts are evidence not of Among the highlights of Miner's supposed The actress, addressing her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, riffs her way from James Joyce's Ulysses to Jews in Prior to Greenson's advice, Crawford, who won an Academy Award for Mildred Pierce, "had a gigantic orgasm and shrieked like a maniac" during her one night of passion with Most of Monroe loved Frank Sinatra, but didn't want to marry him. She loved former husband Joe DiMaggio, but he didn't want to be married to her screen persona. She made a mistake marrying playwright Arthur Miller. The "Commander-in-Chief," presumably President Kennedy, is a great man; "Bobby," presumably Robert Kennedy, is a puzzle--"Doctor, what should I do about Bobby?" According to Miner, The author, Matthew Smith, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour M. Hersh, said to have referenced the transcripts in his 1998 book on the Kennedys, are among those who told the newspaper they believe Miner to be a credible source. Such endorsements are key as Miner claims Greenson, who died in 1979, destroyed the For what it's worth, a psychiatry professor who bills himself as a "pioneer in past-life regression therapy," and has a client he is convinced is the reincarnation of Dr. Adrian Finkelstein told E! Online on Monday that while he has yet to ask his subject, identified as recording artist Sherrie Lea, about the transcripts, from what he has gleaned from the Times report, they "most probably" are Monroe's words. Finkelstein even agrees with Miner's basic conclusion, to a point. Based on his interviews with the purportedly reincarnated "She didn't want to die," Finkelstein said, "but she realized she took too much. It was an accidental overdose." Mystery may yet surround Said the doctor of his client: "She is relieved." Source: http://tinyurl.com/bfe46 xoxoxoxo
Ex-Prosecutor Claims Says He Has Notes Of Her Secret Confessions To A Psychiatrist On the anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, a former prosecutor has unveiled what he says are notes of her secret confessions to a psychiatrist that show her as anything but suicidal.

According to Miner's notes, "I want someone else to tell him it's over," she says, according to Miner's notes. Miner has shown his notes to several people in recent years and excerpts appeared in Matthew Smith's book "Marilyn's Last Words: Her Secret Tapes and Mysterious Death." However, the Times received previously unpublished parts from Miner. Posted at: 07:33 AM | Permalink | | del.icio.us

ON THIS DAY IN 1963; LYNDON JOHNSON BECOMES 36TH PRESIDENT OF AMERICANovember 22, 2008CAMALOT ENDS......... 1963: Johnson takes over as US president Fifty-five year old Lyndon Baines Johnson begins his new job today as US president. He was sworn in yesterday just two hours after an assassin shot President John F Kennedy in the head. The former vice-president took his oath on the presidential plane at Andrew's Air Force Base. The new first lady, Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson, witnessed the swearing-in together with the dead president's widow Jacqui Kennedy - her stocking still stained with her husband's blood. The party flew to Washington with the assassinated president's coffin after the ceremony. Path to power On arriving in Washington the president said, "I will do my best. That is all I can do." President Johnson will address a joint session of Congress in three day's time where it is likely he will outline his future programme. Commentators say there probably will be little immediate change in policy with a presidential election on the horizon. The new president has come from humble beginnings to become one of the world's most powerful men. The eldest of five children, he was born on a Texan farm in 1908 into a poor background. Mr Johnson worked as a teacher before entering politics as a Texan congressman's secretary in 1931. President Roosevelt soon spotted his talents and made him the director of the National Youth Administration in Texas in 1935. After serving six successive terms in the House of Representatives, he entered the senate in 1948 and rapidly rose through the ranks gaining powerful posts. He made his mark by single-handedly steering the Civil Rights Act through the senate in 1957 despite opposition from within his own party. In 1960 Mr Johnson ran in the Democratic presidential elections which he lost to Kennedy who then invited him to be his running mate. He is regarded by some commentators as a master of compromise with an able political brain. Mr Johnson is married with two daughters, 19 year old Lynda and Lucy aged 16.

45 YEARS AGO TODAY: U.S.A. PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY MURDERED IN DALLAS, TEXASNovember 22, 2008
"THE NEW FRONTIER OF WHICH I SPEAK IS NOT A SET OF PROMISES .....IT IS A SET OF CHALLENGES." "THE FAITH, THE ENERGY, THE DEVOTION, WHICH WE BRING TO THIS ENDEAVOUR WILL LIGHT OUR COUNTRY AND ALL WHO SERVE IT AND THE GLOW FROM THAT FIRE WILL TRULY LIGHT THE WORLD.'
IN CONTEXT; THE U.S.A. SENT 6 SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS TO THE MOON AND RETURNED 12 AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS TO THE EARTH FROM 1969 to 1972.....THE APOLLO PROGRAM BECAME OUR GUIDING LIGHT INTO THE NEW FRONTEIR.......LET US NOT FORGET THE "ENERGY, THE FAITH, THE VIGOR, AND THE DEVOTION TO PRESIDENT KENNEDY THAT GOT US THERE!! CLICK BELOW TO HEAR PRESIDENT JOHN.F.KENNEDY BEING SWORN IN AS OUR 35th and YOUNGEST PRESIDENT EVER ELECTED. PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S LEGACY: FROM NASA.GOV OverviewIt all started on May 25, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of sending astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade. Coming just three weeks after Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space, Kennedy's bold challenge set the nation on a journey unlike any before in human history. Eight years of hard work by thousands of Americans came to fruition on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and took "one small step" in the Sea of Tranquility, calling it "a giant leap for mankind." Innovation and even improvisation were necessary along the way. In December 1968, rather than letting lunar module delays slow the program, NASA changed plans to keep the momentum going. Apollo 8 would go all the way to the moon and orbit without a lunar module; it was the first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket. Six of the missions -- Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 -- went on to land on the moon, studying soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields and solar wind. Apollos 7 and 9 tested spacecraft in Earth orbit; Apollo 10 orbited the moon as the dress rehearsal for the first landing. An oxygen tank explosion forced Apollo 13 to scrub its landing, but the "can-do" problem solving of the crew and mission control turned the mission into a "successful failure." The program also drew inspiration from Apollo 1 astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, who lost their lives in a fire during a launch pad test in 1967. ![]() ONE EARTH......... ONE MOON.........ONE GOAL SPACE STATION FREEDOM (ISS)..... BACK TO THE MOON ( LUNA WORLD) ....AND FAR BEYOND MARS....... THE NEW FRONTIER MUST CONTINUE INTO THE COSMOS!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National NeedsPresident John F. Kennedy EXCERPTS FROM "MOONSPEECH" Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, my copartners in Government, gentlemen-and ladies: The Constitution imposes upon me the obligation to "from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union." While this has traditionally been interpreted as an annual affair, this tradition has been broken in extraordinary times. These are extraordinary times. And we face an extraordinary challenge. Our strength as well as our convictions have imposed upon this nation the role of leader in freedom's cause. No role in history could be more difficult or more important. We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves--that is our only commitment to others. No friend, no neutral and no adversary should think otherwise. We are not against any man--or any nation--or any system--except as it is hostile to freedom. Nor am I here to present a new military doctrine, bearing any one name or aimed at any one area. I am here to promote the freedom doctrine. I. The great battleground for the defense and expansion of freedom today is the whole southern half of the globe--Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East--the lands of the rising peoples. Their revolution is the greatest in human history. They seek an end to injustice, tyranny, and exploitation. More than an end, they seek a beginning. And theirs is a revolution which we would support regardless of the Cold War, and regardless of which political or economic route they should choose to freedom. For the adversaries of freedom did not create the revolution; nor did they create the conditions which compel it. But they are seeking to ride the crest of its wave--to capture it for themselves. Yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. They have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. They send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. But where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in Vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations.
With these formidable weapons, the adversaries of freedom plan to consolidate their territory--to exploit, to control, and finally to destroy the hopes of the world's newest nations; and they have ambition to do it before the end of this decade. It is a contest of will and purpose as well as force and violence--a battle for minds and souls as well as lives and territory. And in that contest, we cannot stand aside. We stand, as we have always stood from our earliest beginnings, for the independence and equality of all nations. This nation was born of revolution and raised in freedom. And we do not intend to leave an open road for despotism. There is no single simple policy which meets this challenge. Experience has taught us that no one nation has the power or the wisdom to solve all the problems of the world or manage its revolutionary tides--that extending our commitments does not always increase our security--that any initiative carries with it the risk of a temporary defeat--that nuclear weapons cannot prevent subversion--that no free people can be kept free without will and energy of their own--and that no two nations or situations are exactly alike. Yet there is much we can do--and must do. The proposals I bring before you are numerous and varied. They arise from the host of special opportunities and dangers which have become increasingly clear in recent months. Taken together, I believe that they can mark another step forward in our effort as a people. I am here to ask the help of this Congress and the nation in approving these necessary measures................. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** Finally, if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all, as did the Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere, who are attempting to make a determination of which road they should take. Since early in my term, our efforts in space have been under review. With the advice of the Vice President, who is Chairman of the National Space Council, we have examined where we are strong and where we are not, where we may succeed and where we may not. Now it is time to take longer strides--time for a great new American enterprise--time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth. I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshalled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to insure their fulfillment. Recognizing the head start obtained by the Soviets with their large rocket engines, which gives them many months of leadtime, and recognizing the likelihood that they will exploit this lead for some time to come in still more impressive successes, we nevertheless are required to make new efforts on our own. For while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us last. We take an additional risk by making it in full view of the world, but as shown by the feat of astronaut Shepard, this very risk enhances our stature when we are successful. But this is not merely a race. Space is open to us now; and our eagerness to share its meaning is not governed by the efforts of others. We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share. I therefore ask the Congress, above and beyond the increases I have earlier requested for space activities, to provide the funds which are needed to meet the following national goals: First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar space craft. We propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters, much larger than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. We propose additional funds for other engine development and for unmanned explorations--explorations which are particularly important for one purpose which this nation will never overlook: the survival of the man who first makes this daring flight. But in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon--if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.
Secondly, an additional 23 million dollars, together with 7 million dollars already available, will accelerate development of the Rover nuclear rocket. This gives promise of some day providing a means for even more exciting and ambitious exploration of space, perhaps beyond the moon, perhaps to the very end of the solar system itself. Third, an additional 50 million dollars will make the most of our present leadership, by accelerating the use of space satellites for world-wide communications. Fourth, an additional 75 million dollars--of which 53 million dollars is for the Weather Bureau--will help give us at the earliest possible time a satellite system for world-wide weather observation. Let it be clear--and this is a judgment which the Members of the Congress must finally make--let it be clear that I am asking the Congress and the country to accept a firm commitment to a new course of action, a course which will last for many years and carry very heavy costs: 531 million dollars in fiscal '62--an estimated seven to nine billion dollars additional over the next five years. If we are to go only half way, or reduce our sights in the face of difficulty, in my judgment it would be better not to go at all. Now this is a choice which this country must make, and I am confident that under the leadership of the Space Committees of the Congress, and the Appropriating Committees, that you will consider the matter carefully. It is a most important decision that we make as a nation. But all of you have lived through the last four years and have seen the significance of space and the adventures in space, and no one can predict with certainty what the ultimate meaning will be of mastery of space. I believe we should go to the moon. But I think every citizen of this country as well as the Members of the Congress should consider the matter carefully in making their judgment, to which we have given attention over many weeks and months, because it is a heavy burden, and there is no sense in agreeing or desiring that the United States take an affirmative position in outer space, unless we are prepared to do the work and bear the burdens to make it successful. If we are not, we should decide today and this year. This decision demands a major national commitment of scientific and technical manpower, materiel and facilities, and the possibility of their diversion from other important activities where they are already thinly spread. It means a degree of dedication, organization and discipline which have not always characterized our research and development efforts. It means we cannot afford undue work stoppages, inflated costs of material or talent, wasteful interagency rivalries, or a high turnover of key personnel. New objectives and new money cannot solve these problems. They could in fact, aggravate them further--unless every scientist, every engineer, every serviceman, every technician, contractor, and civil servant gives his personal pledge that this nation will move forward, with the full speed of freedom, in the exciting adventure of space. X. CONCLUSION In conclusion, let me emphasize one point. It is not a pleasure for any President of the United States, as I am sure it was not a pleasure for my predecessors, to come before the Congress and ask for new appropriations which place burdens on our people. I came to this conclusion with some reluctance. But in my judgment, this is a most serious time in the life of our country and in the life of freedom around the globe, and it is the obligation, I believe, of the President of the United States to at least make his recommendations to the Members of the Congress, so that they can reach their own conclusions with that judgment before them. You must decide yourselves, as I have decided, and I am confident that whether you finally decide in the way that I have decided or not, that your judgment--as my judgment--is reached on what is in the best interests of our country. In conclusion, let me emphasize one point: that we are determined, as a nation in 1961 that freedom shall survive and succeed--and whatever the peril and set-backs, we have some very large advantages. The first is the simple fact that we are on the side of liberty--and since the beginning of history, and particularly since the end of the Second World War, liberty has been winning out all over the globe. A second real asset is that we are not alone. We have friends and allies all over the world who share our devotion to freedom. May I cite as a symbol of traditional and effective friendship the great ally I am about to visit--France. I look forward to my visit to France, and to my discussion with a great Captain of the Western World, President de Gaulle, as a meeting of particular significance, permitting the kind of close and ranging consultation that will strengthen both our countries and serve the common purposes of world-wide peace and liberty. Such serious conversations do not require a pale unanimity--they are rather the instruments of trust and understanding over a long road. A third asset is our desire for peace. It is sincere, and I believe the world knows it. We are proving it in our patience at the test ban table, and we are proving it in the UN where our efforts have been directed to maintaining that organization's usefulness as a protector of the independence of small nations. In these and other instances, the response of our opponents has not been encouraging. Yet it is important to know that our patience at the bargaining table is nearly inexhaustible, though our credulity is limited that our hopes for peace are unfailing, while our determination to protect our security is resolute. For these reasons I have long thought it wise to meet with the Soviet Premier for a personal exchange of views. A meeting in Vienna turned out to be convenient for us both; and the Austrian government has kindly made us welcome. No formal agenda is planned and no negotiations will be undertaken; but we will make clear America's enduring concern is for both peace and freedom--that we are anxious to live in harmony with the Russian people--that we seek no conquests, no satellites, no riches--that we seek only the day when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Finally, our greatest asset in this struggle is the American people--their willingness to pay the price for these programs--to understand and accept a long struggle--to share their resources with other less fortunate people--to meet the tax levels and close the tax loopholes I have requested--to exercise self-restraint instead of pushing up wages or prices, or over-producing certain crops, or spreading military secrets, or urging unessential expenditures or improper monopolies or harmful work stoppages--to serve in the Peace Corps or the Armed Services or the Federal Civil Service or the Congress--to strive for excellence in their schools, in their cities and in their physical fitness and that of their children--to take part in Civil Defense--to pay higher postal rates, and higher payroll taxes and higher teachers' salaries, in order to strengthen our society--to show friendship to students and visitors from other lands who visit us and go back in many cases to be the future leaders, with an image of America--and I want that image, and I know you do, to be affirmative and positive--and, finally, to practice democracy at home, in all States, with all races, to respect each other and to protect the Constitutional rights of all citizens. I have not asked for a single program which did not cause one or all Americans some inconvenience, or some hardship, or some sacrifice. But they have responded and you in the Congress have responded to your duty--and I feel confident in asking today for a similar response to these new and larger demands. It is heartening to know, as I journey abroad, that our country is united in its commitment to freedom and is ready to do its duty.

ENDEAVOUR ASTRONAUTS COMPLETE DIFFICULT SPACEWALK TO REPAIR SPACE STATION FREEDOMNovember 21, 2008
This story was updated at 10:11 p.m. EST. Two astronauts ventured outside the International Space Station Saturday on their mission's longest spacewalk to clean a clogged gear needed to restore full power to the orbiting laboratory. Endeavour shuttle astronauts Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper and Steve Bowen spent nearly seven hours cleaning and greasing up a 10-foot (3-meter) wide gear that rotates the station's starboard solar wings so they always face the sun. It was the third, and most grueling, spacewalk dedicated to the task and left at least one of the spacewalkers breathing hard by the end. "I think I'm finally getting the hang of this," Stefanyshyn-Piper said during the spacewalk. While she and Bowen toiled outside, engineers on Earth wrestled with glitches afflicting the space station's new water recycler, which is designed to convert astronaut sweat and urine back into drinking water. Delivered by NASA's space shuttle Endeavour, the water recycler is the centerpiece of a $250 million environmental control system that is crucial to the station's ability to double its crew size next year. A sensor is apparently interfering with a motor that drives the system's urine processor centrifuge, leading to shut downs after about two hours of operations. Astronauts will remove some shock absorbers tomorrow in an attempt to fix it, station flight director Ginger Kerrick said late Saturday. The water recycler has distilled some water from urine, though not the quantity hoped for by flight controllers. But the amount, about one-third of that sought after, is enough to collect much-needed samples for the return trip to Earth, Kerrick said. Flight controllers told Endeavour's crew today that, with those samples in hand, they currently don't plan to extend the planned 15-day shuttle flight by a day. Gear-greasing in space Saturday's six-hour and 57-minute spacewalk marked the third of four planned for Endeavour's seven-astronaut crew. The astronauts swapped out five of the six bearings they hoped to replace while cleaning and greasing up the massive rotary joint. The mechanism hasn't worked properly for more than a year, when it was found to be clogged with metal shavings from grinding components. Stefanyshyn-Piper and Bowen used mitten-like cloths to wipe metal shavings from the gear and grease-spewing guns to lubricate its mottled metal ring. They had to share grease guns and prepared a makeshift backup cobbled together from one of the caulk guns in Endeavour's heat shield repair kit to make up for equipment lost when a $100,000 tool bag escaped from Stefanyshyn-Piper's grasp in a Tuesday excursion. The last bearing, one of 12 total spaced around the paddlewheel-like gear, will be replaced during their mission's fourth spacewalk on Monday. The other six were replaced during earlier excursions. "We really appreciate how hard you guys are all working," Mission Control called up to the spacewalkers. "I know it's painful to call it quits like that, but we think it's the right thing to do." Final spacewalk ahead Monday's spacewalk will send astronauts out to a similar rotary joint on the space station's port side. That joint is working fine, but NASA wants it greased up for good measure. A series of maintenance chores on the station's Japanese Kibo laboratory are also on tap. Saturday's orbital work marked the 117th spacewalk dedicated to the construction and maintenance of the 10-year-old International Space Station. "Ah, what a beautiful sunset," Stefanyshyn-Piper said as the spacewalk neared its end. It was the second career spacewalk for Bowen, who now has 13 hours and 49 minutes of orbital work and will venture outside the station once more on Monday with crewmate Shane Kimbrough, who choreographed today's work from inside Endeavour. Bowen and Kimbrough are making their first spaceflight and spacewalks on the mission. Space station commander Michael Fincke commended the spacewalkers and Stefanyshyn-Piper in particular as she completed her third and last spacewalk for Endeavour's mission. "You helped build us. You helped fix us. You've always been here for us," Fincke told her. "Thank you very much." The spacewalk was the fifth for Stefanyshyn-Piper, who ended with 33 hours and 42 minutes and is leading Endeavour's spacewalking team. She is second most experienced female spacewalker, behind fellow NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, and ranks 25th on the list of the most experienced spacewalkers in the world. "This was my last one, so I'm now turning it over to you and Shane," Stefanshyn-Piper said to her crewmates. "It's time for the new guys." Posted at: 11:47 AM | Permalink | | del.icio.us
U.S.A SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS BLASTS OFF FOR SPACE STATIONNovember 16, 2008ON THIS DAY IN 2009;
WASHINGTON — The space shuttle Atlantis roared into space Monday afternoon to begin a vital 11-day delivery run to the International Space Station. The shuttle blasted off at 2:28 p.m. EST (1928 GMT) from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The liftoff was the second-to-last planned flight for the 24-year-old orbiter — Atlantis is slated to be retired with its two sister shuttles in about a year. "All the vehicle systems are outstanding today, the weather is near perfect," said launch director Mike Leinbach just before launch. "We wish you good luck, Godspeed, and we'll see you just after Thanksgiving," he said to the crew. "We really appreciate all the effort that’s gone into making this launch attempt possible," responded commander Charlie Hobaugh. "We're excited to take this incredible vehicle for a ride and meet up with another incredible vehicle, the International Space Station." Hobaugh is leading the six-member crew on the STS-129 resupply mission to ferry about 27,250 pounds (12,360 kg) worth of spare parts to the station. "Our flight is one of the first flights that externally will provide a lot of the spare parts and the long lead type of replacement items that are required to keep [the station] healthy and running for quite some time," Hobaugh said in a preflight news conference. Among the large parts packed onto the shuttle are spare high-pressure gas tanks, pumps, power units and battery supplies, as well as parts for the station's robotic arm. The equipment is loaded into two massive platforms due to be installed on the station's backbone-like metal truss. The delivery should help set up the orbiting laboratory to continue to run after the space shuttles stop flying. "These are the spares that will allow us to utilize the investment that we've put in," said Mike Sarafin, the lead shuttle flight director for the mission. Rookies no more Flying with Hobaugh are pilot Barry "Butch" Wilmore and mission specialists Mike Foreman, Bobby Satcher, Randy Bresnik and Leland Melvin. Wilmore, Satcher and Bresnik are rookie spaceflyers. "We don’t use the "R" word at all," Hobaugh said. "Everybody here is an astronaut. We consider them, even though they have not been in the environment yet, seasoned astronauts." A seventh crewmember is slated to join the STS-129 crew for the ride home: NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, a space station Expedition 21 flight engineer who's been in space for about three months, plans to fill the shuttle's remaining seat for the journey back to Earth. The astronauts expect to spend Thanksgiving in space. Bresnik, in particular, will also miss another major family event. His wife Rebecca is expected to give birth to their second child – a baby girl – while he is space, according to ABC News. Foreman, Satcher and Bresnik plan to carry out the mission's three planned spacewalks, or extravehicular activities (EVAs). "All of the EVAs that were doing are six or seven hours and there's a number of complicated tasks in each one of them," Satcher said. In addition to the spacewalks, the crew plans some complex robotic work to help attach the new cargo carriers to the station and transfer the spare parts. "All that in 11 days,” Sarafin said. "It’s a lot to package into a finite period of time; it’s a challenging mission." Monday’s launch marked the start of NASA’s 129th shuttle mission since the fleet began flying in 1981, as well as the 31st liftoff for Atlantis. Tweeting the shuttle The launch also marked the first time NASA has invited Twitter followers to attend a liftoff. About 100 fans gathered in Cape Canaveral for a two-day "tweetup" to view the flight and learn more about NASA and the shuttle mission. "I can't stop jumping up and down!" said Jan DuRaine, who travelled from Valley Springs, Calif. to view the launch. "I want to experience the sights, the noise and the vibration from the sound waves. To me, this is the experience of a lifetime." Attendees said they relished they opportunity even as two Atlantis astronauts – Satcher and Melvin – plan to tweet about their mission from space. Satcher is posting updates as Astro_Bones and ZeroG_MD, with Leland writing under the name Astro_Flow. "The behind-the-scenes aspect intrigues me," said Tina Cassler of Lauderdale, Minnesota. "I hope to learn a great deal and better understand all that they do at NASA." Space Shuttle Mission: STS-129Posted at: 08:03 PM | Permalink | | del.icio.us
ON NOVEMBER 14, 1973: ENGLAND'S ONLY PRINCESS ANNE MARRIES A COMMONERNovember 15, 2008ON THIS DAY IN 1973 : ENGLAND'S PRINCESS ANNE MARRIES:
1973: Crowds cheer marriage of Princess Anne ![]() The wedding of the Queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, has taken place at Westminster Abbey. Princess Anne, 23, married Mark Phillips, a lieutenant in the Army. An estimated 500 million television viewers around the world are believed to have watched the ceremony. Princess Anne wore an embroidered Tudor-style wedding dress with a high collar and mediaeval sleeves. Lieutenant Phillips was in the full scarlet and blue uniform of his regiment, the Queen's Dragoon Guards. The princess' bridesmaid was her nine-year-old cousin, Lady Sarah-Armstrong Jones, daughter of Princess Margaret. Her youngest brother, nine-year-old Prince Edward, was her pageboy. The wedding day had been declared a national holiday and crowds lined the streets to watch the newly married couple on their way back to Buckingham Palace. Many well-wishers had spent the night sleeping in the Mall to guarantee a good view of the pair who travelled in a horse-drawn carriage. Later they appeared on the balcony at Buckingham Palace and waved to the crowd below. After a wedding lunch, the Princess and her new husband left to stay overnight at White House Lodge in Richmond Park. They are due to travel to Barbados tomorrow where they will board the royal yacht Britannia for 18 days sailing in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The couple met through their mutual interest in horse riding and their engagement was announced in May. It is only the second time in more than 200 years that a member of the British royal family has married a commoner. The last commoner to marry into the royal family was the Queen Mother in 1923.

U.S.A. CITIZENS ELECT FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENTNovember 5, 2008Barack Obama Makes History!Originally posted Tuesday November 04, 2008 11:00 PM EST From PEOPLE.com
While handily taking the New England states, Obama gained the lead in the race by also winning the hotly contested Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Western states helped put him firmly in the victory column, and the announcement that he had the necessary electoral-college votes was made immediately after the polls closed in California at 11 p.m. ET. Though race was a theme that wafted throughout a tough fight against Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin, most political pundits credited the poor economy as the central factor in the minds of Americans once they closed the curtains in polling booths. In his concession speech, delivered shortly after Obama was declared the victor, McCain told a crowd of disappointed supporters, "We have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly." McCain said he'd called Obama to offer his congratulations, and acknowledged the historic nature of his rival's win. "This is an historic election and I recognize the special significance it has for African Americans," said McCain. "I have always believed that America offers opportunities for those who have the will to seize it … Let there be no reason for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on earth." President Bush also called Obama to congratulate him on his victory. Obama's onetime rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, said in statement, "Tonight, we are celebrating an historic victory for the American people. This was a long and hard fought campaign but the result was well worth the wait." In a presidential campaign that stretched over two years, Obama triumphed with the help of early support from Oprah Winfrey and endorsements from a variety of Hollywood stars like Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon. Only last weekend, he was serenaded in concert by Bruce Springsteen. 'Transformational Figure'Since first appearing on the national stage only four years ago, when he walloped Illinois radio host Alan Keyes to become a U.S. senator, the Chicago Democrat, 47, has emerged as his generation's political rock star, forging a path to the White House with sharp focus and stunning speed.Always, it seemed, there were huge crowds gathered to see the charismatic candidate, whom Colin Powell, in his own endorsement of Obama, labeled "a transformational figure." But there were tough personal times, too, such as when Obama broke off campaigning for two days in the final stretch to visit his gravely ill grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, 86, in Hawaii. Dunham died two days before the election, never living to see Obama rise to this pinnacle. The president-elect takes with him to the White House on Inauguration Day Jan. 20 his wife of 16 years, Michelle Obama, and their two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. Obama is expected to make his victory speech at a rally in Chicago's Grant Park, where 70,000 guests received coveted tickets to the event – and up to 1 million people could show up, according to Chicago authorities.
