| And why not? There are some stunning similarities between the events in the early sixties and those we are witnessing today...step forward Osama bin Owsald. Here's five hours of video which takes a look at the lie that dare not speak its name. Spot anything familiar?

| Who Are the Violent and Powerful?

A study of CIA power brokers and others deeply involved in leadership positions pushing the Cold War will expose that they all either are powerful corporate lawyers, developed close ties to the powerful while being educated in elite educational institutions, have other close ties to wealth, or are themselves extremely wealthy. Thus when Guatemala's elected government was overthrown and a dictator imposed to protect United Fruit, "the head of the CIA, General Walter Bedell Smith, joined the board of the United Fruit Company, while United Fruit's president, Allen Dulles, became CIA director."8
John F. and Allen Dulles, both long-term power brokers in the State Department and CIA, came from entrenched wealth and were also corporate lawyers for others of the world's wealthy. Probably no one else except William Casey, another CIA director and leading corporate lawyer coming from old wealth, was in on the planning for the covert actions of the Cold War throughout the CIA's first forty-five years more than they were.
After being pushed into the disastrous Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, President John F. Kennedy fired CIA director Allen Dulles, who he felt had misled him into that debacle. President Kennedy was learning fast and he was going to shut down the Vietnam War and instead lead America to be the peaceful nation it claimed to be. Military power is always the final arbiter between competitive societies and ever since World War II only America's military power protected the imperial centers of capital from the loss of control of world resources and trade, the source of their wealth and power. There did not have to be any rocket scientists among the Managers of State and the corporate powers behind them to know that Kennedy's altruism would cost them dearly. President Kennedy was assassinated and a member of the old-boy CIA network, the recently fired Allen Dulles, decided what evidence was to be presented to the Warren Commission in what most of the world is satisfied was a cover-up of the assassination of an American president by the hard right of American government and intelligence services. America's social fabric would have been shredded by such revelations so those disturbing facts were not addressed by the mainstream media, were never pursued by any law enforcement or legal institution, and remain essentially unknown to the American people.
Seeing as how the lawyer Mark Lane was able to name their names and prove in a court of law that CIA agents upset over Kennedy's refusal to rescue them when with the U.S. military during their Bay of Pigs fiasco had assassinated him and Claudia Furiati came up with the same names from the archives of Cuban intelligence, surely America's own intelligence services and law enforcement could have quickly found those assassins. In fact, only a few days after the assassination, the FBI interrogated Marita Lorenz, a CIA operative who begged off from whatever big was going down in Dallas and flew back to Miami the evening before President Kennedy was shot. The FBI already had the names of those CIA assassins and Lorenz affirmed to them their names, how they traveled in a group from Miami to Dallas, the various conspirators they met in Dallas (including Jack Ruby), and how she begged off whatever was going down in Dallas and came home. The CIA knew so much about J. Edgar Hoover's illegal activities that the FBI just sat on this information. Lorenz testified she made the same testimony to the Congresspersons of the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978. They too simply sat on this dynamite testimony.9 They dared not tell what they knew. The power structure had committed so many illegal acts under the cover of national security secrecy that the entire government would have collapsed and a whole new power structure would have taken its place. Of course, preventing another power structure evolving democratically is what all the secrecy and violence was all about. If the truth about Kennedy's assassination had been vigorously pursued by either major law enforcement authorities or the mainstream media, America could have become what it claims to be, a government of, for, and by the people.
Where most presidents are firmly under the control of a power structure, Kennedy was not. He was so popular and was so thoroughly trusted by the American people he would have had their full support if he had embarked on a policy of peace. The hundreds of corporate think tanks would not have dared to continue trumpeting for war. A policy of peace would have been so eminently sensible that citizens would have defected from the scare mongers en masse if such a peaceful policy by such a popular president were attacked.
If peace had been permitted to break out through such a courageous act by a popular American president, the massive suppressions all over the world would have come to an end. Once a policy of true peace had been put into effect, a president would not even have the option of changing his mind if he wanted to. The cat would have been out of the bag, too many think tanks would be cranking out supporting literature, and a return to a Cold War could be accomplished only by the same method this Cold War was established, instigating a real war as in the Korean War described above.
Without the covert wars and overt wars of imperial centers of capital, the world would have broken free, the world's resources would no longer have been available to the industrialized world for a fraction of their value, and that would be a loss to corporate imperialists that could not be permitted. The CIA is only an arm of presidential policy when presidential policy is corporate policy. When presidential policy threatens corporate policy, a rare event, a president must figure out how to control the corporate-connected old-boy network of the CIA.
The violent and powerful who carry out corporate policies, such as the above we just described, are good citizens, good neighbors, good husbands, and good parents who kiss their children when they put them to bed. But their loyalty is to their wealth or the wealthy who put them in power. Even when considering what is right for the weaker in their country, they do not expand their view of rights to include all people. To justify their oppression, it was once convenient to tell themselves that colonial natives had no souls, and thus were not people. The rights of others are still carefully defined so that they cannot be acknowledged, even when people take the most sincere acts. To do so—to redefine rights in the broadest sense and act accordingly--would not only shatter everything they have believed in and everything the power brokers have done, it would mean a total repudiation of the philosophy the imperial nations were functioning under. | | | | FoxtrotAlpha | | Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2002 3:55 pm Post subject: |
