TMR 303 : Jacob Hornberger : Notes

Jacob HornbergerJacob Hornberger

(Jacob Hornberger is founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation [FFF], a non-profit educational foundation in the United States whose mission is to present the principled case for the libertarian philosophy. He received his B.A. in economics from The Virginia Military Institute and his law degree from the University of Texas. After serving as a trial attorney for 12 years, he left the practice of law to enter the educational-foundation world. Jacob has written and spoken extensively on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and his assassination-related books include: An Encounter with Evil : The Abraham Zapruder Story; The Kennedy Autopsy; The Kennedy Autopsy 2; and Regime Change : The JFK Assassination. FFF has also published JFK’s War with the National-Security Establishment by Douglas Horne (who served on the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board), and CIA & JFK : The Secret Assassination Files by Jefferson Morley (a former investigative reporter for the Washington Post). FFF has also held two conferences relating to JFK, which featured presentations by Oliver Stone, Jeffrey Sachs, Stephen Kinzer, Michael J. Glennon, Ron Paul, Douglas Horne, Jefferson Morley, and others. Videos of the presentations at those conferences can be found in the Multimedia section of FFF’s website: fff.org.”)—FFF.org

Clarifying Notes

  • Henry Rybka. According to Douglas Horne (IARRB, Vol. 5, pp. 1410 - 1411), the Secret Service agent who threw his hands in the air three times was Henry Rybka. Horne writes that, as the presidential limousine (SS-100-X) and follow-up car (SS-679-X) were leaving Dallas Love Field, Secret Service agent Emory Roberts stood up in the follow-up car and "appeared to speak sharply" to Rybka (who was on foot behind the presidential limousine) and "emphatically waved him away from SS-100-X". Rybka's reaction—which Horne describes as "What the ****?"—can be seen in the black and white footage below. According to Horne, Secret Service agent Clint Hill told Arlen Specter of the Warren Commission that a decision "not to place agents on or near the rear of the presidential limousine" had been implemented just days before the trip to Texas. Rybka, Horne suggests, hadn't got the message (for whatever reason) and was just trying to do his job.

    • YouTube URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEX2VqBe3xE)
  • Pierre Finck. I can find only two mentions by Colonel Finck that Dr James Hulmes had said to him on the telephone at 8 o'clock on the evening of the assassination that they already had X-rays of the President's head: at the Clay Shaw Trial in 1969 (https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/garr/trial/Feb_24/html/Feb_24_0052a.htm) and before a "Forensic Pathology Panel" working for the US House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978 (https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/arrb/master_med_set/md30/html/Image09.htm). Col. Finck did mention Dr Humes' 8 o'clock telephone call in his "Blumberg Report", but (so far as I can see) only mentioned that they X-rays were already there when he arrived at Bethesda at 8.30 pm (https://www.jfk-assassination.net/weberman/finck1.htm).

Email Exchange

Here is the after-show email exchange between Josh and I. As I said at the end of the programme, I felt that I hadn't quite managed to put into words what I was thinking about the Trinity in relation to the ideas explored in the conversation. So I carried on thinking about it over dinner after the interview, and—no doubt inspired by the cauliflower cheese (which was really very good that night)—I emailed Josh and we had the following back and forth.

JC: "Many thanks! BTW, I can't stop wondering about that "Trinity" question. Could it be resolved through seeing the Persons of God as deeper, permanently differentiated aspects of the fundamental substance. I guess it's basically a kind of Barth-style "mode of being" that I have in mind. Using my analogy of the hard drive, could we say that the hard drive is eternally composed of three states of the same substance? (To use the popular imagery, maybe it's a weird hard drive made of water, ice and steam!) In that case, those Persons would be eternal, equal and fully open to each other, whereas I (as a created partition) would be finite,
dependent and relatively closed (in terms of my access to God's own consciousness)."

JR: "The trinity is a vexing topic, and I have my own questions about it. But I like your illustration (a lot), and relates to a way I've tended to think of things (reminds me of Michael Rea's account of the Trinity). Also, this distinction may be handy (and relates to your thought): there is a difference between grounding distinctions in personas via God's *nature* vs. via God's creative *will*. This distinction was suggested to me by Christian philosopher, Joshua Sijuawade, with an article on the Trinity here: https://philarchive.org/archive/SIJBTM. Since this came up in our discussion, feel free to share any of these notes or references in the show notes if you think that would be appropriate and helpful. The conversation was definitely among my favorites. You clearly have a deep understanding of the topic, and I loved how you concretized things, too, for the audience—such a gift. Thanks again!"

JC: "Oh good, I'm glad my thoughts make some sense! Yes, I've had many conversations with Jehovah's Witnesses about the Trinity over the years, and I've always found it hard to articulate satisfactorily. Thanks for the article; it doesn't look like a breeze, but it looks fascinating—I'll see how far I get! Thanks, yes, especially if I keep that part of the conversation in which we touch on Trinitarian matters, I would like to share the essence of these email exchanges with listeners... Many thanks for your kind words! In return let me say thank you for your humility and willingness to make very difficult ideas accessible to "ordinary" people. As you know, not all academics are good at that! You are, and I very much admire you for that, and your inspiring work. Many thanks again!"

TMR 293 : James Roguski : Notes

James RoguskiJames Roguski

"James Roguski is a researcher, author, natural health proponent and an activist who believes that the old systems are rightfully crumbling, so we must build their replacements quickly. James uncovered documents regarding proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations and was instrumental in raising awareness about them which resulted in the amendments being rejected. James is now doing everything possible to expose the WHO's hidden agenda behind their proposed "pandemic treaty" as well as the WHO's ongoing attempts to amend the International Health Regulations. James' vision for the future can be summarized by the phrase: "Out of the WHO and in with the NEW."—James Roguski

TMR 288 : Jeremiah Allen : Notes

JeremiahAllenJeremiah Allen

"Jeremiah is a 42-year-old former US Army soldier and Iraqi war veteran ('04-'05). After leaving military service, he worked as a Computer Network Security Expert for the US Missile Defense Agency. In 2013, he left his lucrative career and relocated his wife & two children to pursue ministry in Belize as an entrepreneur. Jeremiah is passionate about Jesus and sharing the Good News with others by living out the Great Commission in everyday life."

 

Note

I thought I'd note (for anyone who might be wondering, which I grant might be no one) that I'm not against property dualism. It's just that I'm not currently persuaded that it fits well with a naturalistic worldview. (It may do, so maybe someone could help me with that.) It seems to me rather "convenient" that certain types of complexity (such as the human brain) should actualise a potential for consciousness already latent in the stuff of the universe. Why should that be the case? On naturalism, it seems to me that we should have to say, "Well that's just the way it is", which, to my mind, would leave unexplained why the universe somehow "knew" that we were going to turn up some day. From a theistic perspective, however, this would make more sense (to me at any rate), because that would allow us to understand such a latent property as intended to become active in connection with specific froms of complexity as part of a universal design plan. (And that—to return to the subject discussed in the interview—would leave doubtful that AI would ever meet the specific requirements of that intention.)

  • Please also note that my statement about COVID-19 vaccination and conscience is an entirely personal matter. I am making no comment about anyone else's decision to be COVID-19 vaccinated.

  • I also think I should clarify that, when I say some may feel that the government has been put in place by God, I am referring to a particular theological view that I do not share, and that my comment was specific to the issue of Civil Religion (which I consider to be a distortion of true spirituality).

TMR 270 : Philip Kraske : Notes

Philip KraskePhilip Kraske

"I was born in Detroit, lived my formative years in Ohio and Minnesota, and stayed in America long enough to get in the basic rituals of high school and college. I graduated from the U of Minnesota/Twin Cities with a B.A. in International Relations. I settled permanently in Madrid in the 80s and keep my bread buttered by teaching English courses on a freelance basis in Spanish companies.  I give an hour, maybe two, of class, then pack up my briefcase and leave behind my students clinched to their computer screens; I can never be too grateful to teaching.  I usually have just one or two classes in the morning, then sit down to write between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. (the Spanish lunch hour), since at that time Spaniards are too busy raising company profits to ponder the mysteries of the verb Get. I also publish satirical verse – op-eds, really – about domestic and international politics, on my own and different progressive websites in the U.S. I used to write normal op-eds, but branched into this new form a few years ago and enjoy it much more."—Philip Kraske

Vaccine Control Group

"The Vaccine Control Group is a worldwide independent long-term study that is seeking to provide a baseline of data from unvaccinated individuals for comparative analysis with the vaccinated population, to evaluate the success of the Covid-19 mass vaccination programme and assist future research projects. This study is not, and will never be, associated with any pharmaceutical enterprise as its impartiality is of paramount importance. The VaxControlGroup is a community cooperative, for the people. All monies raised will be re-invested into the project and its community."—VaxControlGroup

"Diny previously worked as a corporate IT trainer and web designer before leaving to have children. She is currently a home-educating mum to two of her three daughters and a creative writing teacher, author and poet, although most of her writing work has been put on hold due to the commitments of the Control Group."—Diny

    • JC: For some reason, the editors at The Conservative Woman seemed to think that Diny had written the article, as they explicitly credit her as the author. It is therefore understandable (at least initially) why Hugo thought that she had written it. However, in our interview Diny explains that she was not, in fact, the author.

(My personal view is that I find their work intriguiging and believe that the study could turn out to be very important. Therefore I encourage people to listen to the interview, read the explanations on the VaxControlGroup website and make a personal decision as to whether or not to take part in the study.)

Dr. Simone Gold

  • The Gold Opinion : Facts Lead, Opinions Follow - Five Minutes with a Doctor-Lawyer - Conventional Wisdom Debunked  (https://thegoldopinion.com/)

"Simone Gold, MD, JD, FABEM, is a board certified emergency physician. She graduated from Chicago Medical School before attending Stanford University Law School to earn her Juris Doctorate degree. She completed her residency in Emergency Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. Dr. Gold worked in Washington D.C. for the Surgeon General, as well as for the Chairman of the Labor & Human Resources Committee. She works as an emergency physician on the frontlines whether or not there is a pandemic. Her clinical work serves all Americans: from urban-inner city, to suburban, to the IHS. Her legal work has focused on conflicts between hospitals and insurers. She writes on a number of policy issues relating to law and medicine. She always leads with the facts."—(from Dr. Gold's website)

 

Important Notes

  • Nothing said in this podcast should be understood as medical advice. Please consult your doctor before taking any medications.

  • Please also understand that, although Dr. Gold suggests legally obtaining hydroxychloroquine in advance of contracting COVID-19, she does NOT recommend taking it without a doctor's supervision.

 

Update (05.07.2020):

  • A listener kindly drew my attention this clinical trial—https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04370782—with the title: "A Randomized Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc in Combination With Either Azithromycin or Doxycycline for the Treatment of COVID-19 in the Outpatient Setting". To my untrained eye, it looks hopeful. The doses look reasonable (to me), zinc is included and the study is in an outpatient setting, so prior to hospitalisation. When the results are published (possibly near December 31, 2020), I hope that this study will receive the same kind of media attention as those we discussed in the interview. (Thank you, Pauline, for sending the link.)

TMR 233 : R. L. Solberg : Notes

RLSolbergR. L. Solberg

 Special Note

It seems the history of the Worldwide Church of God is complex. Although (according to the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Communion_International), there are congregations that continue the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong in one form or another, the organisation itself in the years following Armstrong's death in 1986 abandoned many of his unbiblical teachings and—understandably enough—renamed itself Grace Communion International. As they state on their website: "The church is now in full agreement with the statement of faith of the National Association of Evangelicals."

TMR 232 : "Howling Laud" Hope : Election Special Notes

AlanHope

Alan "Howling Laud" Hope

Alan 'Howling Laud' Hope, now retired, has worked in the entertainment business and as a hotel proprietor. He has, for many years (and always on the OMRLP ticket), served on town councils in various capacities, including a stint as Town Mayor in Ashburton, Devon between 1998-2000. In 2017, the 25th time he has stood for UK Parliament, he ran against Prime Minister Theresa May alongside Lord Buckethead in the Maidenhead Constituency.CameronHope

 

Galactically Important Note

Please note that, although the character Lord Buckethead has condescended to join the ranks of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, the person who played the part of Lord Buckethead during the 2017 General Selection has decided to create a rival character—Count Binface—for the current vote. The story behind this can be read in the Guardian column mentioned below and at Count Binface's website. This being so, we leave it to listeners to decide which is the real Lord Buckethead. Is it the latest "incarnation" standiing in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip Constituency? Or the rival Count Binface, also standing in that constituency against Boris Johnson?

Update

Since the interview, TMR has been supplied with a short history of the Lord Buckethead saga. With the permission of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, TMR here presents the words of the official historian of the party.

"Count Binface in 2019 is Jon Harvey who was Lord Buckethead in 2017 at Maidenhead. Lord Buckethead is a character from the Gremloids films, and this character is owned by Todd Durham, a US film maker who produced all of the Gremloids films.

A copyright issue broke out earlier this year involving Jon Harvey using Lord Buckethead to crowdfund his EU Election campaign. Todd Durham withdrew his permission, so Jon Harvey was unable to use the Lord Buckethead character anymore. David Hughes then stepped in and got permission from Todd Durham to stand as Lord Buckethead in the 2019 General Election against Boris Johnson at Uxbridge. This time, Lord Buckethead is representing the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and not the Gremloids Party (as was the case at the three previous Lord Buckethead General Elections in 1987, 1992 and 2017).  David Hughes was the Election agent for Lord Buckethead when he stood in 1992 against John Major.

It was Jon Harvey at Maidenhead against Theresa May in the 2017 General Election that really gave Lord Buckethead a high profile and put the character back on the map after a gap of 25 years. When Jon Harvey heard that somebody else was standing as Lord Buckethead against Boris Johnson in the 2019 General Election at Uxbridge, Jon decided to stand as Count Binface and go head-to-head with Lord Buckethead and Boris Johnson in Uxbridge.

So far, with less than a week of the Election Campaign to go, Count Binface has been very visible and high-profile in Uxbridge, and Lord Buckethead has not been seen. Jon Harvey holds the record for the most Lord Buckethead votes, and the questions are: Will David Hughes as Lord Buckethead beat that record this year? And will he get more votes than Jon Harvey as Count Binface?

There have been three different people who have appeared as Lord Buckethead in four General Elections against the current Prime Minister. The details follow.

  • Mike Lee in 1987 against Margaret Thatcher at Finchley

  • Mike Lee again in 1992 against John Major at Huntingdon

  • Jon Harvey against Theresa May in 2017 at Maidenhead

  • David Hughes at Uxbridge against Boris Johnson in 2019"

Catmando [The Party Pet Cat]

"At the conference of 1999, when the “election” came up for the new leader, it was a two-sided race between Howling ‘Laud’ Hope and Catmando. The voting was very close; they each got 112 votes. It was decided that they should both become Joint Leaders of the first political party to be ruled by man and beast, until somebody at the back of the room shouted: “No you're not, what about Margaret Thatcher and John Major?” Alas, Catmando met a lorry one day, and the lorry won!"
