SUMMARY:Election Day Party
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur incredible learning community is going to have a (virtual) Election Day Party!  Republican or Democrat\, liberal or conservative\, all are welcome!  We will meet three times during the day so that I can give you the latest exit poll results\, information about voter turnout\, and updated prediction maps.  Between 5 and 6 pm\, we will have an open forum where you can ask any question of political scientist Kelly Jones-Wagy and me\, share your opinions\, and learn about the races.  Of course\, you do not need to join us for every session – join us to celebrate democracy\, even in an odd year!  This will be our celebration of learning\, friendship\, and democracy! \nVirtual Election Day Party: Tentative schedule: (All Times Central) \n11:30 -12:00 I’ll have lots of information about voter turnout and trends.! \n5:00 – 6:00 An hour-long open forum with elections expert and award-winning political scientist Kelly Jones-Wagy and me.  Before we start getting the first vote totals\, this is your chance to ask about any candidate\, race\, procedure\, or state- and we will answer live!  As time permits\, an open discussion where you can share your views and opinions will be available. \n9:30 —We should have significant results from the East. Before the West Coast results come in\, we will offer a characterization of the race. The networks can’t call an election before they have firm vote totals. However\, we will be able to see where the outstanding votes are in many of the states and will begin to tell you what the network can’t. \n12:45—We will have a great sense of the next President\, although the race may not yet have been called!  I will likely call it! \n  \nQuite obviously\, I am investing a lot of time and effort into preparing for this event\, conducting almost a dozen interviews with college professors and reporters from around the country to be able to talk intelligently about every racenfrom across the nation.  I will then be working hard all day and through the night. \nCOST \nAs a result\, I ask for a voluntary donation of between $10 and $25.00. \nI hope to create a memorable experience for us all!  Since I support a family\, I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!  If you can’t afford the program\, but really want to participate\, just come without paying. Your support is deeply appreciated. \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O. Box #177 \nDeerfield\, IL 60015 \nPlease put PARTY in the subject line. \nPaypal: \nPayPal (Please note\, PayPal takes 10% of your donation as a fee.  I receive $4.50) \n \n√ Venmo  \n(send to @B-Bradford-1) Please add a note saying ‘PARTY.’ \n√  Zelle – Use the email address Barry1776@ATT.NET (Please add a note that it is for PARTY) \n√ Don’t pay (or pay less) if you cannot afford it!  Email me for a waiver if you are not able to pay. \nREGISTRATION LINK BELOW \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER!\nNO ZOOM LINK??  \nIf you do not receive a confirmation email\, you did not sign up correctly.  SAVE THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL!  If you cannot find your confirmation email\, check your spam folder.  The other alternative is to return to the website and sign up again.  I cannot send you the link!  They come straight from Zoom! \nRegistration \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkceGhrjwvEtISmn7Ce53-DoUigWHDuD6O \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nIf you do not receive a confirmation email\, you did not sign up correctly.  SAVE THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL!  If you cannot find your confirmation email\, check your spam folder.  The other alternative is to return to the website and sign up again.  I cannot send you the link!  They come straight from Zoom! \n

SUMMARY:Who Killed JFK – Historian Presents a Modern Analysis
DESCRIPTION: Who Killed JFK?\n I’ll Tell You! \n \nThe murder of John F. Kennedy on November 22\, 1963\, shocked the nation. A suspect was quickly arrested and subsequently murdered. President Lyndon Johnson appointed a blue ribbon committee – the Warren Commission – to answer the question: who killed JFK? \nThey concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. Immediately\, the public was skeptical. Stephen King described Oswald as “a semi-educated hillbilly with delusions of grandeur.” How could such an insignificant loser pull off such a dastardly crime? And why did Jack Ruby\, accused of being a Mob member\, kill Oswald? \nWe have been through with whispered knowledge of conspiracies\, confessions\, and coverups. And so the public has asked for an explanation of the “magic bullet.” \nAnd the contradictory witness statements. \nAnd Oswald’s shadowy past. \nAnd all of the “secret files.” \nAnd all of the conspiracy theories. \nAnd all of the “mysterious deaths” associated with the assassination? \nBooks\, articles\, movies\, and documentaries have raised innumerable questions about who killed JFK. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis\nSo who killed JFK? I will attempt to answer as many of these questions as possible. First\, I will attempt to separate historical fact from theory & speculation. Second\, I will show what the historical record actually indicates happened. We have access to much more information today than the Warren Commission had in 1963/4 or the House of Representatives had in 1977. Third\, we will examine what modern computer forensics can tell us about crime. For instance\, the Warren Commission had access to the “Zapruder Film.”  Today\, we can use computers to enhance and analyze the film. We can use modern technology to analyze the path of each of the bullets that were fired. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis \nAnd we can use computers to isolate the mysterious sounds a Dallas motorcycle patrolman captured.  In 1977\, the House of Representatives believed that the recording showed four shots fired in Dealy Plaza.  The National Academy of Science\, among many other groups\, have taken the same sound recordings and used state-of-the-art technology to analyze them. What do we know now? \nYou may disagree with my conclusions\, but you will definitely learn a lot and come away with a new perspective on the historical record of who killed JFK. \n
