The STRATFOR emails. Everyone needs to be combing through them. A man gave up his life for them. We atleast owe it to him.

"with 973 of the claimed 5 million total emails published as of April 17"

Have you read the rest? This part is particularly "holy fuck!"

I think that's pretty much the most interesting thing of the ones that have been leaked thus far.
My guess is there are far better ones that haven't been leaked.
Edit: Re-read, and that's more of an aggregate of all the really interesting ones, I thought it was mostly about Pakistan knowing of Bin Laden's safehouse.
In any case, I still think there is way more juice there that hasn't made the light of day yet.

Digging around that Stratfor leak makes me nervous. Barrett Brown got v&.

STRATFOR might be good for the next one, but TBH it really doesn't get more pertinent than the 50th anniversary of perhaps the greatest conspiracy of the 20th century.
I like the idea of compiling various posts on /r/conspiracy from the past concerning all manners of events surrounding the Kennedy assassination...especially emphasizing original posts and research by /r/conspiracy users.
Here are a few of mine I think would be appropriate:
Has /r/conspiracy heard of Judyth Vary Baker? She claims to have been Lee Harvey Oswald's lover and a cancer researcher hired to develop a bio-weapon to kill Castro. If she's telling the truth then this is the story of the century.
Jack Ruby, the guy who killed Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV, claimed that the JFK assassination "was an act of overthrowing the government" and that he had been injected with cancer cells in prison to silence him. By 1966, Ruby was dead from galloping cancer in his liver, lungs and brain.
Dorothy Kilgallen died under mysterious circumstances in 1965. She started reporting on UFOs in the 50's, was extremely critical of the US government, and interviewed Jack Ruby in private, claiming to be "about to blow the JFK case sky high."
Maybe we could submit each of these as comments and have the users upvote them accordingly?

I really can't disagree with this.. STRATFOR next time

It's also a problem that some people are actively injecting large loads of shit to sift through, it's a losing game my friend. I would've agreed a year ago, but now this sub is really kind of silly and i don't think it's salvagable

I have no idea how it isn't the #1 story on r/conspiracy right now. It is just as brilliant and to the point as his 9/11 video.
1 ShellOilNigeria 2013-11-21
Since we are going to start stickying posts, can we add the previously sticked one's to the side bar? I am still looking into the US Bonds stories from the last sticky.
I didn't save the post and now it's gone from the front page so if we could add these to the side bar that would be awesome.
2 Flytape 2013-11-21
Great idea.

Fukushima!
there is very little being put out here in the US and I am sure that it could be the biggest conspiracy out there right now.

This gang of warmonger trolls is engaged in a fervent defamation campaign that tries to discredit and stigmatize this entire subreddit and everyone who participates here as "racist".
This collection of information shows documented proof that these manipulative liars are crying crocodile tears and have no right whatsoever to claim any kind of moral high ground over this subreddit.

/user/belmaker's post Where New JFK Evidence Points. It timely and very good information. I don't recall seeing it when it was originally posted.
4 drunkenshrew 2013-11-21
Jim DiEugenio's article Where New JFK Evidence Points gives a good overview about some of the new information regarding the JFK-assassination, but there are lots of people who haven't a firm grasp on damning old information.
I really like the 50 reasons for 50 years clips from Black Op Radio. I think they provide excellent summaries about various aspects of the JFK murder.

Good point. I feel like the timing demands that we do something JFK assassination related and also to counter whatever garbage will be on TV.

I pinky-swear this is not a spam of any kind: as a long-time subscriber to this sub-reddit I've recently become crazy-hooked on Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" podcasts. Personally I think it's worth a week's sticky, even though it's not technically "conspiracy" based.
They're wonderfully interesting history presentations, and to my mind they show how so much of what we discuss, debate, and worry about here has been discussed, debated and worried about long before our time. Dan has a journalists knack for sniffing out the lived-experience in his subjects, and he always presents them with an open mind.
Anyway, this is just a personal recommendation. There are literally hours of free podcasts to check out if, like me, you're interested in the history of humans living through turbulent times of transition much more dramatic than ours today.
EDIT: OH! I forgot to mention that his "Common Sense" podcasts on topical news is actually completely in line with what most of us are following on this sub-reddit.

Yeah Common Sense is way better, imo. Google Dan Carlin Common Sense. It's really really good

edit: search "reddit" and it's all so interesting. They really follow the convos here. Thanks Alex. Before Alex's meeting with them they said this:
"In general, probably not worth it. In my opion Reddit is not near the upper crust of the social sharing, RSS feed, user-generated links sites and certainly not compatible with paid content. If you look at their topics, it's actually quite lowbrow. We'd probably get better mileage out of StumbleUpon or Digg, if it's something we're thinking about pursuing. We did a test with StumbleUpon last spring (got a free coupon at SXSW) and it performed adequately for Free Weekly distribution, if memory serves."

McAdams is a disingenuous establishment hack who sticks to narrative that Oswald did it alone and the Warren Commission got it right. I believe we shouldn't give his website too much traffic.
Here an article about the conduct, opinions and relations of professor McAdams.
Instead of this short summary I recommend a video lecture of Greg Burnham about NSAM 263 and NSAM 273 (see links at the bottom of this page).
http://www.jfklancer.com/NSAM263.html
2 axolotl_peyotl 2013-11-21
McAdams also wrote the "definitive" piece that supposedly debunks the testimony of Judyth Vary Baker.
For those who have actually taken the time to read Judyth's book and examine her sources, it's clear that McAdams is a hack, and for that matter Vincent Bugliosi as well.
