Who Really Runs This Country?
|
As I sat last week and reflected on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, I thought about the man John F. Kennedy, what we knew about him then and what we know about him now. I'm astonished by the wisdom and insight he had at such a young age. In the middle of the Cuban missile crisis, surrounded by bloodthirsty advisers, both military (Joint Chiefs of Staff) and civilian (CIA), he was able to maintain a calm resolve to find a peaceful solution to what could have become the end of civilization. This was only possible by the equally calm resolve of Nikita Kruschev, a man vilified in our press as a childish, willful buffoon. The recently released 'secret letters' between these two men provide a look into the mind of each man. Both wanted peace for their people. Both were resisting the push from their individual 'Dogs of War' advisers to a preemptive nuclear strike against the other. The fact that they were able to find a peaceful solution to a situation like the Cuban missile crisis proves their wisdom was the correct decision for mankind. Kennedy's rejection of the Pax Americana attitude permeating the entire military/industrial complex at that time marked him for extermination; his own, "Seven Days in May" except that turned out differently for him. The fact that forces within our own government could mark a sitting president for an assassination should remind all of us that these same forces care nothing for the citizens of this country as well. "Might is Right" is their slogan. And thank you Mr. Truman for unleashing those forces on the rest of humanity, actually two monsters. The atomic bomb and the National Security Act being the second. I have read that Truman was 'gleeful' when news reached him of the total destruction of Hiroshima. He was ecstatic, not able to subjectivize the abject human suffering of the survivors, he began the Cold War in earnest. Until the rest of the world was able to catch to our lethal technology, he could and did threaten other world leaders with 'the bomb.' He also signed the National Security Act into law. The beginning of the national security state. This act gave nearly unlimited powers to the CIA that weren't easily controlled by any future president, as Truman realized soon after the assassination of JFK. One month after the assassination of Kennedy, Truman wrote an article published in the Washington Post that said, in part, "I think it has become necessary to take another look at the purposes and operations of our Central Intelligence Agency...There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel we need to correct it." Too late, it had already removed a beloved president as well as many other leaders around the world. It was already doing the bidding of TPTB behind the politicians. It had become in Truman's words, "an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government." No longer would we be able to maintain anything but the illusion of a free and open society. As with other presidents, he wittingly or unwittingly played right into the hands of the Cabal. It took the assassination of a president for Truman to see the full scope of what he had helped to create. Again in his words, "The CIA was not intended as a 'Cloak and Dagger Outfit." (Really? That's what they were during WWII.) "It was intended merely as a center for keeping the president informed on what was going on in the world at large and the United States and it's dependencies in particular. It should not be an agency to initiate policy or act as a spy organization. That was never the intention when it was organized." That might not have been your intention Mr. Truman. But you can bet it was somebody's intention. And it is an agency that pretty well operates outside of our Constitution yet today. It is as rogue as any organization can be. It really answers to no president because changing the front man does not change how it operates. And as soon as Kennedy fired Allen Dulles, then head of the CIA, and made it known that he intended to dissolve the organization, he was marked for death. It is no wonder to me that every president since Kennedy has done the bidding of the agency or at least, never again threatened to destroy it. It would not surprise me if some element of the CIA approached each president shortly after they take the oath of office, with a picture of the slain Kennedy. A picture is worth a thousand words it is said. So, are we stuck with this out of control agency? I really don't think so. In every age, in every organization, there are people of honor and integrity who don't like what they see going on around them. I foresee a time when the good guys in the alphabet agencies, the military and other government agencies decide they have had enough of this rogue group destroying what is left of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Things seem to move in cycles and I believe we are heading back towards smaller and more responsible government based on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I hope this was a lesson well learned not to vote people into office then go back to our own little lives and pay no attention to what those politicians do. I do, however, have some questions about the Kennedy assassination I've never been able to get answers to. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind it was a CIA hit no matter how many other groups might have had some involvement, from the mob to Cuban dissidents. But where in the hell were the Secret Service? Were they in on it or just caught with their pants down? And if a president can't count on them for protection and to not be part of a coup, why do we need them? So, I guess the question remains, who really runs this country? http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=293296 |
