Mark Lane, Early Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theorist, Dies at 89

[Octafish]

58. Thank you, MrMickeysMom! The People in Pittsburgh are amazing.

The Passing the Torch: An International Symposium on the
50th Anniversary of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy at Duquesne University changed my life, even if I'm old. To know that there are so many young people who care about Justice and Democracy and how the assassination of President Kennedy half a century ago impacts their lives today gives me real hope for the future of our nation.

Personally, the best part was meeting so many of the authors and researchers whose work I had read over the decades. Their examples -- standing up for the truth no matter who opposed them -- is why Democracy and the ideals as represented in the Constitution and Bill of Rights still stand.

Here's his presentation on C-SPAN, followed by Joan Mellen's presentation:

PS: I feel the very same way about you! I also appreciate people interested in discovering truth and sharing it democratically. During my "Machine Gun Mouth" rant, I managed to tell Lisa Pease about the unelected warmonger and BFEE scion's "Money trumps peace" utterance. She was very surprised at W's comment and saddened to learn that the US news media had failed, again, in its job as watchdogs for the People.

PPS: The good folks at Duquesne still owe me a DVD. That guy whose dad does that thing said they'd send one. I don't care, really. They -- and the good people at Pittsburgh -- really strengthened my heart for what is ahead.
