    "The Radical Right and the Murder of John F. Kennedy. - Stunning evidence in the assassination of the President."

    By Harrison E. Livingston

    In time for the half centenary of the assassination.

    Interesting premise.

    Finished the others, now on Who Discovered America? which is making a rather loose case that the Chinese did in 1421. Others are mentioned in passing. I think 1000AD (Vikings) and 450AD (Irish) have that beat, and I doubt if they were even the first since remains have been found going back to 30,000 BCE.

    Asians did "discover" the new world. They did it via the Bering land bridge sometime between 15,000 and 40,000 years ago, depending on the theory to which you choose to subscribe.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I have no doubt that there have been numerous migrations into the western hemisphere. Most Native Americans are considered to be Siberian. Siberians are related to Indians/Pakistanis and are caucasian. Many Indians when given a DNA test are found to be caucasian. Columbus was right for all the wrong reasons. This group, it is sometimes theorized, was preceded by Polynesians/Indians who ended up at the remotest reaches of South America in Tierra del Fuego. They are of a different culture and DNA from Native Americans. The theory is that they arrived between 55,000 to 30,000 years ago and the wave of Siberians who came afterwards did pretty much to them what Europeans did to Native Americans later.

    Saw it on NOVA a few years ago.

    No matter who got here first, i think most of the country can tell Chris Columbus to go fuck himself now.
