Secret Service closes ranks in sordid scandal
After two weeks of disturbing revelations about a tawdry prostitution scandal, the Secret Service and its supporters are circling the wagons to restore the “secret” part of its mission.
Retired agents have been instructed to stop talking to reporters. Secret Service agents are dismantling Facebook accounts, hanging up on reporters and notifying headquarters — even calling police — when journalists knock on their doors at home for interviews about the investigation.

RFK Assassination Update Almost 44 Years Later
A key witness to the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy has retracted her official statements in the case and now claims that convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan did not act alone. ..”What has to come out is that there was another shooter to my right,” Rhodes told CNN. “The truth has got to be told. No more cover-ups.”
————-
A witness to RFK’s murder, Nina Rhodes-Hughes, was never called as a witness in Sirhan’s trial and was only interviewed once after the shooting. I find that alone disturbing.
There were also claims of a second mysterious shooter in JFK’s assassination, which the Zapruder film shows people reacting to gunshots in the opposite direction from the book depository.
Both assassinations took place in public packed with people. A political assassin’s dream.
No wonder Jackie fled the country with her kids and started another life on a Greek island.
But, lo and behold, Bill O’Reilly of Fox News is coming out with a book on JFK’s assassination. He claims many questions will be answered.

Yet, Another Sex Scandal. This Time Child Porn in GOP Alaska
A former Alaska mayor who served on a school board and once received a “Citizen of the Year” award pleaded guilty on Monday to seven counts of possessing child pornography as part of a deal with prosecutors, police said.
Jack Shay, 80, a well-known political figure in the small southeast Alaskan community of Ketchikan, was arrested in November after police said child pornography images were found on a computer printer that he had dropped off for repair.

Violence Against Women Is Just the Beginning
….In the past two years alone, there have been nearly 2,000 anti-choice provisions introduced in legislation. Among other things, Republican lawmakers have attempted to redefine rape, supported a bill that would let hospitals watch a woman die rather than perform a needed abortion and tried to take away all federal funding for Planned Parenthood. South Dakota GOP members even attempted to make it legal to murder doctors who provide abortion care.
Republican senators also nearly derailed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

The U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has placed its famous Sea Shadow stealth ship up for auction. And while the high-tech military sea vessel cost more than $195 million to develop, its opening bid was for the relatively tiny sum of $50,000, with only a $10,000 deposit required.
However, before you begin finalizing your plans for global dominance, there is one major catch to the auction: The ship will be dismantled and reduced to scrap before being handed out to the auction’s eventual winner. Photo/ Dept of Defense
Peace.
