“4 Dead in Ohio”: “Liberal Media” Silence on Kent State’s Smoking Guns
Posted by Justin Jeffre
New evidence shows the 1970 Kent State killings were cold-blooded, premeditated, official murder and don’t forget kids were also killed at Lawrence and Jackson as well. The definitive proof of this historical event is apparently not as newsworthy as Anna Nicole’s baby Daddy.
It’s amazing that it took 37 years to get to the bottom of the unprovoked assassinations based on evidence that has been available to the FBI all that time. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents confirm what “conspiracy theorists” have said all along. Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes conspired with the FBI to terrorize anti-war demonstrators and the protests that raged across the nation.
I’ve been told that the UC Board of Trustees later named a building for Gov. Rhodes. We wonder if anyone has proposed that the name should be changed, but it’s no wonder that campuses are as apathetic as they are these days. One of my former UC professors said, “Well, what can you expect after those damned kids provocatively walked to their next class. They were lucky to have just been killed and not prosecuted for taking government lead without authorization to do so. Gawd bless our free instertooshons.”

That is awful loud “silence” on the issue.
btw have you even heard the tapes? I can agree that i hear the word “point” but the rest you cant really make out. “point” would not have been a command the gaurd would have used so it is still pretty suspect as far as “evidence”

formely f, this historic revelation didn’t get as much attention as Anna Nicole’s baby daddy.
I guess it was just a coincidence that witnesses saw them all pointing their guns at the same time before the shots rang out.

at the time of the shootings they took up a greater percentage of available news time than anna nicole’s baby daddy story. You are comparing apples to oranges.
as with all things that are witnessed by many different people their are many different recollections of what took place. Many eyewitnesses see the same thing and come back with different stories.
again the word point would not have been a command from a guard leader and that is the only word clear on the tape. the rest you can hear what you want to hear. You want a conspiracy and so you hear one.

formerly f, there’s new revelations about what happened during an important historical event which confirms what many witnesses have said for decades. That should be more newsworthy than Anna’ Nicole’s baby daddy. Ones newsworthy and the other is tabloid BS.
The word point was used as the tape shows and then the soldiers “coincidently” all pointed their riffles at the same time and fired. I’d say somebody who was close enough to get shot in the hand probably has a pretty good understanding of what happened. You want it to have been a coincidence and so you don’t hear what you don’t want to hear.
As I said, Kent State wasn’t the only school where kids were shot. Kids at Lawrence and Jackson were also shot around that time. I’m sure you’re right, these were all coincidences and our government has never lied to us. (Except about why we went to war in Vietnam and Iraq!)
