"...among the secrets I helped bring to light as
Chief Counsel for a Senate Committee, the FBI tried to coerce Martin
Luther King to commit suicide; the CIA hired the Mafia to kill
Cuba's Fidel Castro; and, for thirty years, the National Security
Agency obtained copies of every telegram leaving the United States.
And then, during the Bush-Cheney Administration, many policies,
such as torture, were adopted and implemented in secret."
Fritz Schwarz of the Brennan Center (quoted in America the
Possible: James Gustave Speth. pg 164)
" 85% of the American public reject
the findings of the Warren Commission
report, as did the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978,
finding instead a "probable conspiracy" in the murders of President
Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. No federal investigation or action
followed. We are the mainstream, not the dissent. Oswald's role as a
patsy, not a shooter, is supported by all the best evidence that has
been released. The real evidence clearly points to a crime and a
cover-up that reaches to the highest levels of the U.S. government and
military." John

"The constant recourse to the "lone wolf" theory to
explain assassinations and comparable national traumas is not only
empirically challenged but also represents a kind of large scale
cop-out. At what point, I wondered, is it permissible to doubt that
the assassinations of both Kennedys and Martin Luther King, Jr -
all of whom challenged the status quo in significant ways - were
the result of independent actions by three "crazed loners" ? Russ

remarkable innovation in global terrorism, . . . is generating terrorists more rapidly than it is murdering those

Provocative to say the least. Using materials
familiar to researchers, Dark
Legacy makes a series of tantalizing connections
between the rich and powerful to suggest that Kennedy was brought down by a vast web
of powerful conservatives and that George H.W.Bush was close to all of
them. Hankey invites viewers not only to draw their own conclusions but
also to check out his sources." -- Kevin Thomas Los Angeles

in writing and organizing, reads that the "conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy was organized at high levels of the U.S. power structure, and was implemented by top elements of the U.S. national security apparatus using, among others, figures in the criminal underworld to
US Liberal leaders have either been assassinated or killed
under mysterious, uninvestigated circumstances. For anyone paying
attention, US liberal leaders also tend to die more
frequently than most under poorly explained circumstances.
George Bush (Papa) is now known to
have been a CIA non-official cover officer present in Dallas and probably also directly responsible for
supervising the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I do not write such
opinions lightly. See among many other references here at Amazon, Dark Legacy and JFK
and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters. I
would also observe that every President since JFK has been a puppet.
The assassination of JFK by a mix of New York bankers, Texas energy and
military wealth, and their "agents" in the FBI and CIA set the stage
for every president thereafter to be a house pet, choosing between the
gold certificates if they were good (Papa Bush and Clinton being a
prime example), very little if they were neutral (Carter, Bush Junior),
and death (none needed so far). (From the Amazon review of Presidential
Puppetry)
"A growing historical consensus now sees JFK as
presiding over a bitterly divided government, with Kennedy and his
peace-minded inner circle on one side and a war-hungry Cold War
establishment on the other. Even humdrum Kennedy historian Robert
Dallek has now signed on to this view, with a new book that argues
JFK’s biggest enemies were not Communist leaders but his own
generals and espionage chiefs. This is a sobering conclusion, of
course, because it provides a possible explanation for the bloody
regime change in Dallas." David
Talbot (11/8/2013)
"Before his death, former President Lyndon B. Johnson
gave a three hour interview to a well-known television commentator. On May 2, 1970, when
the interview was shown on a national television network, it included
the message that certain material had been deleted at President
Johnson's insistence. It has been revealed that in the censored
section, Johnson had expressed misgivings about the finding that Lee
Harvey Oswald had acted alone, and that in fact, he (LBJ) suspected
that a conspiracy had been involved in the assassination of John F.
Kennedy." From the prolog to the film: Executive Action.

From ‘The Devil’s Chessboard,’ by David Talbot
By 1963, Talbot insists, a clear consensus had emerged among corporate leaders “and within America’s deep state” that Kennedy was a threat to national security and had to be removed. Dulles, they concluded, “was the only man with the stature, connections, and decisive will to make something of this enormity happen. … All that his establishment colleagues had to do was to look the other way — as they always did when Dulles took executive action.”
On Nov. 22, Talbot writes, Dulles was away from Washington, “as he typically was at the outset of major operations.” He cried crocodile tears when the deed was done, then lobbied Lyndon Johnson to appoint him to the Warren Commission, where he saw to it that Lee Harvey Oswald would take the fall as the “lone gunman.”
When Robert Kennedy became a candidate for president in 1968, Talbot contends that he became “a wild card, an uncontrollable threat” who might bring the assassins of JFK to justice. And so they eliminated him as well. Talbot finds it “particularly intriguing” that Dulles met with experts in brainwashing and mind control techniques a few weeks after the arrest of Sirhan Sirhan, “a man who appeared to be in a hypnotic or narcotic state when he was taken into custody.”
