Gummy Bear Governments 2024
AP Government kicks the year off with the Models of American Democracy: Participatory Democracy emphasizes broad participation in the political process by citizens. The idea is that democracy functions best when more people are actively involved in politics, such as voting, attending town hall meetings, or protesting. It focuses on citizen engagement in decision-making processes directly, rather than through representatives. Example include Grassroots movements or local ballot initiatives where citizens have direct input in laws or policies.
The Pluralist Democracy model highlights the role of groups in the democratic process. In pluralist democracy, various interest groups compete to influence government policies and decisions. Power is dispersed among these groups, and no single group dominates. This competition ensures that multiple perspectives are considered in the policymaking process.
Example: Lobbying by interest groups like the NRA or environmental organizations, which try to influence legislation.
And finally then Elite Democracy model suggests that a small number of powerful, elite individuals or groups, often from the upper class or with significant resources, make most of the important decisions in government. Elite democracy implies that the majority of political power is concentrated in the hands of a few, often leaving average citizens with little influence over major policy decisions. Example include the influence of wealthy donors and corporate executives on campaign financing and policymaking.

Excellent reading of a terrible experience.
fuck dallas
It’s Oak Cliff where we get some definitive answers.. Where Lee repeatedly acting guilty.. The conspiracy guys control the narrative and refuse to speak about it, and somehow others have glossed over those details too.. Discarding your jacket, avoiding cops near a shoe store, sneaking into a theatre, then trying to commit suicide by cop are all anecdotal evidence of Oswald’s guilt in the Tippit killing..
PLEASE share your resources for this. It seems like you include a time element and/or have students work as teams. Thank you!
Why dont you point out obvious guilt of SS? 2 guys who should have been on back of JFK vehicle told to get off of the car as they left Love Field, expoaing Kennedy for shots from multiple shooters. The reasom this country is in such a mess is because normies refuse to question anythi g msm tells them. See for yourself, look up other videos of agents directed off his car and blatantly protesting and questioning why they were told at very last second to get off Kennedys car... proof it was to allow easy shooting lanes. Stay asleep normies, but therr is aprice to pay for blind ignorance.
Thank you very much, Sir!
The American people as eishowersaid that day were robbed of their true leader. By forces that are hidden
I was five years old then. I can remember watching TV and my mom was crying but I didn't understand why.
3:00 3:01 3:02 3:02
There was no conspiracy to kill Kennedy Oswald acted alone
Seriously.... there were other buildings....but police ran to the Texas book depositary...the shots could have come from another building ...but they chose to search the Texas school book depositary...the sniper left the three shells on the floor but had time to hide the rifle...a set up... few minutes after the shooting a full description of Oswald was issued on the police radio...how was this possible if nobody saw the shooter ...Oswald was a scape goat a patsy....there were more than one shooter...
You do know that a cop had Oswald at gunpoint in the Texas school building but let him go when his boss said he worked there. You know that right?
Howard Brennan saw Oswald with the rifle in the 6th floor of the TSBD.
JFK to 9/11 everything is a rich man’s trick, 3 hr 27 min version,, just in case you wanted to know what really happened
Pigeons! That’s what made the police look at that building? Yea ok 😂
NOBODY ASKED + UTTP BETTER
I was only 4 turn 5 December 7 1963all said that LBJ and mob and government cover up Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot nobody go grave saying that if government cover up why open up files means cover up
Kennedy you expose everything you do something what i said your last words
Fine video & yes, Oswald did the deed & to the exclusion of all others. Still, I suppose people are entitled to their fantasies, no matter how daft & ridiculous they can be.
The worst video on the assassination, it just repeats old news coverage at that time. Doesn’t say a word about what really happened. This video is a joke 😂😂😂😂
@3:01 I thought Oswald was the only employee of the book depository that couldn't be accounted for following the shooting.
I'm not American, but the death of this man and the fact that guilty, evil, selfish men got away with it really irritates me
JFK security detail called away from his motocade in Dallas? Where is it?
The Han Dynasty was officially Confucian. Legalism as a state philosophy ended with the fall of the Qin dynasty and was despised during the Han.
It is NOT widely believed that the first shot strikes the traffic light. That is a theory, and doesn't match ANY eyewitness testimony, nor does it match the acoustic evidence AT ALL.
Don't forget the horrible moment Kennedy's headshot blasted him from the gunman on the grassy knoll. Oswald didn't shoot Kennedy.
There is no evidence for a shot from the knoll. You’re repeating baseless CT nonsense.
@@jetcat132... Incorrect! The evidence is the Zapruder film! You're just repeating the Warren Commission fairytale nonsense
@@jetcat132 You'll need to watch a copy of the Zapruder film that isn't sped up and cropped off as most right wing nut channels show it. The movie JFK has a pretty good version. Some YT sites have it. Oswald was never convicted of shooting anyone.
@@arcanondrum6543 “The movie JFK has a pretty good version”. That damn movie is a piece of rubbish. There is nothing about that Oliver Stone nonsense that is good. It is made up of literally dozens of inaccuracies, half truths, and out and out lies. The evidence is overwhelming against Oswald, he would have been buried under it. Stop pretending it doesn’t exist in favor of loony conspiracy theories.
@@arcanondrum6543No he wasn’t convicted, but he sure would have been.
That's crazy

Unmasking Warren Commission
Seeking the truth
There's only evidence of Oswald's guilt, everything else is just childish fantasy.
Bravo! 🙌
Victoria Adams was on the stairwell with a co worker going down 30-45 sec after the shooting and another employee stayed on the 4th floor. You MUST enter each floor and reenter stairs which are loud and creaky. NO ONE in this timeframe saw Oswald on the stairwell. All testimony attesting to all of this was either ignored or changed in the final Warren Commission Report. Be good sheep and follow this fallaciuos version of events.
Given the conflicts between Adams' testimony and the testimony of others it is very likely that Adams was not on the stairs shortly after the assassination.
@@9Ballr Given the impeachability of her testimony and others were there at the time of her stair episode, it stretches the truth to think she was not on the staircase when she said she was. She did not bolster the case of a rapid descent by Oswald. In fact I don't believe he was even on the 6th floor, which begs the question of who was on that floor. They took a written testimony from Ms. Adams but did not choose to bring her before the Commission. When given a chance to review her testimony, she did correct the parts that were wrong and years later found that it was not corrected. I believe a Ms. Stiles was with her as well and the testimony of Lovelady and his companion on the lower floor were very shaky and evasive.
@@rickcamacho9079 Given the impeachability of her testimony? Do you know what that means? I assume you mean that her testimony is unimpeachable. Why is that? Vicki Adams' testimony conflicted with the testimony of several others, including Billy Lovelady, William Shelley, Eddie Piper, James Romack, and George Rackley, and even the later recounting by Sandra Styles, all of which, if correct, would place Adams on the stairs several minutes later than she says in her testimony. In her testimony Vicki Adams herself said she never saw Truly and Baker coming up the stairs, which means she either went down the stairs earlier than Oswald (assuming he went down the stairs), or in fact minutes later than Oswald. Given how the testimony of a number of other employees conflicts with Adams' claim that she went down the stairs immediately after the shooting, the weight of the overall testimony I think shows that she was wrong. Eyewitness testimony is among the least reliable forms of evidence, and when someone's testimony conflicts with that of several others and with other well-established evidence, it casts serious doubt on that person's testimony. But let's suppose that Adams did go down the stairs 30-45 seconds after the shooting. Why didn't she see or hear the real shooter, if the real shooter wasn't Oswald? If the real shooter wasn't Oswald, then the real shooter somehow made it down the stairs and out of the building completely undetected. This means that Oswald also could have been the real shooter, and made it down the stairs undetected, at least until Baker saw him going into the 2nd floor lunchroom. So even if Adams was on the stairs within 30-45 seconds of the shooting, which is highly dubious in light of other testimony, and didn't see or hear Oswald, that does not exonerate Oswald.

@@9Ballr In fact, it must be noted that the motorcade was a few minutes late as to the route. TSBD employee Carolyn Arnold-Johnson saw Lee Oswald in the lunchroom at 12:25. He should have been upstairs as the motorcade was running late. When confronted less than 2 minutes after the shooting by law enforcement officer Baker and the manager, it was noted that Oswald was cool as a cucumber. Who was up on the top floor has been debated and differing versions of who was seen varies. A Ms. Reed gave witness testimony tht she made change for Oswald at 12:29. Shelley never swore he saw Adams and Lovelady thougth he saw a womn who looked like Adams but would not swear to it. A Sandra Stiles was willing to coorberate Ms. Adams testimonly but was never called to testify. Dotorty Garner was also on the 4th floor and STAYED THERE. She agreed that Ms. Stiles and Ms. Adams had gone down the stairs almost immediately. Garner was sitting by a storage room near the stairs and stayed there. Each flight of stairs goes into the next floor and comes back out again winding to the next floor. Ms. Garner would have seen Oswald or anyone coming down the stairs. It becomes much harder to discredit Ms. Adams when there are others who can support her version in the first person. Testimonly was ignored, suppressed, denied, and changed to suit the one predetermined narrative conclusion. Hard to take anything the WC puts forth sseriously. Every timetable, even the Tippit shooting just does not fit. Oswald had no time to get down the stairs. When the aftermath is seen involign not securing exits, letting potential suspects go, fake secret servic men onthe grassy knoll and behind the picket fence, there is too much to expalin away without involving a conspiracy of those in power who had so much to gain from Pres. Kennedy's tragic death.
Capitalism ushered in the Industrial Revolution, and thanks to that, machines took over the manual work of slaves.
This is outstanding! Bravo!!!
What's the title of the music
What a waste of time…..so what did this classroom of sherlocks conclude?
It's the process, the engagement of critical thinking, that's important. No need to come to a hasty conclusion
If after 60 years none of us managed to figure out exactly how it happened, imagine if a bunch of students who never heard of the so-called conspiracy theories are going to find out the real truth by using their rulers to calculate the angles of the shots to find out how many shooters there were, and with only a bunch of photos and a typed page summarizing the event!!
Bravo to that teacher! Kids look highly engaged and using their brains! Glad that teacher’s classroom isn’t in Florida cause I’m sure this unit would be banned (sadly)
Here’s what you do… Show them how Lee repeatedly acted guilty afterwards.. Murdering a cop, sldiscarding his jacket to change his appearance, then trying to commit suicide by cop when he was surrounded in a theatre.. This is called criminal intent, or the actions of a guilty man.. It’s important to understand Lee Oswald was no patsy, which should inform their process in Dealey Plaza..
No sir- you apparently bought the lone gunman promotion, intended to prevent those guilty from being charged. There were several gunmen.
@@normanspurgeon5324 Why would you say there were several gunmen?.. Are we talking Tippit or Dealey Plaza?.. Because the evidence PROVES there was only one shooter in Oak Cliff, and one rifle (that hit anything) in Dealey Plaza..
@@normanspurgeon5324 4 shells, 2 different types of ammo, all fired through Oswald’s weapon.. One shooter.. lol.. Evidence, man.. lol..
Your absolutely correct!! All the evidence points to Oswald. Purgeon is a pigeon for thinking otherwise
What evidence ? Watch Connallys interview where he explains the exact moment that he is hit by a bullet, compare his evidence to the Z film imagery, what you see is a gap of under a second between his injury and the fatal wound to JFK. Once you see this knowing the rifle can't be recycled in under a second then you can't possibly believe that Oswald was alone. Oswald was involved and definitely acted guilty, but I think he was set up and knew it.@@jacobjones5269
Wait! What? Was that part of Jerry Goldsmith 's score from the original Planet of the Apes?
If e had not been wearing the metal back brace...then he might have had a chance to actually take cover by bending over after the first shot. But..history played out its own way, and that’s only the end adjustment. If Kennedy had paid more attention and taken Ike’s public warning seriously, he could have completely avoided this horrendous endgame! The Military Industrial Complex and its Profiteers were extremely threatened by the position he took to remove the troops in Vietnam...where the profits were just beginning to flow into the pockets of the investors l.lthe tanks, there guns, the ammo, the planes, bombers, jets! It would all end...and money is the root of all Evil!
Wish that never happened
Underrated teacher fr
I wrote a book some years ago: Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot. I captured Camelot in two paragraphs that Bill O'Reilley couldn't do in a whole book. My story started out about my neighbor Emory Roberts who was in charge of the Secret Service Detail at Dealey Plaza riding directly behind JFK in the Jump Seat who was in charge after the first shots were fired. If there was a hero that day, it was him. I reviewed all the Conspiracy Stories and every thing Oswald. Amazing with the 60th anniversary that the stories are not coming out of the woodwork. Guess they can't concoct something new. Reviewed Belzer's book on all the people who died around the assassination. So bogus. I know all about Jimmy Hoffa, ridiculous stuff about his involvement. The Meyer murder awakened me not anything Belzer wrote, but her signing into the White House Log like 32 times and not telling how many other visits and her former marriage to a CIA official would be reason enough to get her killed because of what she knew that would be incriminating to JFK, like maybe the Bay of Pigs. A photo of the rear of JFK's limo that I had never seen was quite revealing. It was always said that Secret Service could not be on the back of the car because of the footsteps locations. In this photo, two footsteps with hand grips on the trunk are clearly visible the one in the right was directly behind JFK, and the Secret Serviceman there would have taken the bullet. JFK wanted to be seen and Jackie to be seen by the crowds. Vanity?? That is the reason no Canopy was put on the car. Recently, it was reported that no Secret Service were on the side of the car because the running boards were retracted. My research indicated no running boards on that limo, and no running boards retracted are visible. A review - If the Secret Service had been on the cars two rear bumper foot stands with hand griips the shots would have been blocked. JFK did not want them there because he wanted himself and Jackie to be seen. It was always said that the rear bumper foot stands were not in the right place to protect the President anyway. This video clearly shows where the rear bumper foot stands were and would have protected the President. Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories. Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage and photos I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on. Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd. A photo I looked at yesterday shows Jackie standing beside Johnson on Air Force One when he is being sworn in with the Oath of Office. It came to me that Johsnon and Jackie were flying back to Washington with JFK's body in a casket. So unbelievable. So many conspiracy stories.
Dallas was a known hostile city to Kennedy. It was headquarters for right wing general walker, hl hunt, birch society. They accused jfk of treason on the day he was killed. The security in dealey plaza was non existent. The Cia and mafia had formed an alliance to murder Castro. Both were very anti kennedy for not over throwing Castro. I'm sure you and Emory Robert's were staunch right wing Republicans. Even lbj himself didn't buy his own handpicked commission. They tried to pawn it off on Castro via Oswald. Good luck with the magic bullet theory. Your heroe j Edgar hoover closed the case in 2 hours.
See press conference with Oswald. You can see face and reaction with questions.. No reaction of guilty shooter.

Did linden Johnson had anything to do with the jfk shooting
It would be easier to say who didn't have a role, everyone wanted JFK gone.
I believe Oswald did not have anything to do with jfk shooting
Amazing video work! Outstanding job 👍
