My friend, Fred Burks, who use to be the top Indonesian translator for Bush Jr, Clinton, Powell, Rice & other top dignataries has a website called www.wanttoknow.org. The other day was the 48th anniversary of JFK's death. Fred posted this for his subscribers to watch.
In 2003, the History Channel completed an amazingly revealing nine-part series titled "The Men Who Killed Kennedy." The ninth and final episode provides powerful evidence that Lyndon Johnson was directly involved in JFK's assassination. In the first minute, his lawyer states, "I know as attorney for Lyndon Johnson that he murdered John Kennedy." Johnson's family and supporters successfully threatened History Channel, so that they no longer air or sell this key final segment of the series. Yet Fred obtained a copy and has posted it to his video section. If you are ready to have your eyes opened, watch even the first few minutes of this most powerful documentary available at:

Question:
Q. How did the C.I.A. deal with their perceived problem of containing public awareness about the assassination of John Kennedy, after the cat was out of the bag, and a significant number of Citizens began to realize that the Warren Commission Report was a cover-up?
A. After the first serious critiques of the Warren Commission Report were were published, the C.I.A. began a little cottage industry of their own, churning out one conspiracy pot-boiler after another; paperback after paperback. All of the Company-generated disinformation about who killed J.F.K. had some validity, but, in the aggregate, it was all wrong, and off the mark. The purpose was to generate confusion. It was black propaganda.
Then the C.I.A. coined a handy little phrase. It caught on. They said: "Oh, that's just another conspiracy theory." That, to my knowledge, is the authentic, historical etiology of the phrase "Conspiracy Theory." If it is not the precise origin of the term, it most certainly is the point at which the phrase entered History with a vengeance.
It's still going on. One of the more clever ways that the Company continues to "cover up" phenomena that they wish to contain - like 9/11, or chemtrails, or the various covert applications & uses of their new generation of microwave beam weapons - is by generating a pack of disinformation and black propaganda on the subject in question, in order to muddy the water. Then, the whole subject - the whole field - can be neatly dismissed with a single phrase: "That's just another conspiracy theory."

I recently watched the History Channel show via the 'Net. I lived through the assassination. I was listening to KCBS doing a live report from Dallas and heard the reporter saying, "I see a three-wheel motorcycle careening up a grassy knoll toward where two men ran to a car that sped away." The History Channel show states that Kennedy was planning on a draw-down of forces in Vietnam, an action that profoundly distressed the Military Industrial Complex. Johnson appears to have been the lickspittle for the MIC. According to the HC show, Johnson had eliminated other politcal enemies. Johnson was being investigated by Robert Kennedy, the AG, for several crimes as well as for murder. That show argues that Johnson realized that if he were president, he would be above prosecution. What I've never understood is why a man as intelligent as Kennedy agreed to travel to Dallas in the first place. As a Harvard graduate, he would have read "Julius Caesar." As the son of Joseph Kennedy, Sr. he should have been schooled in political and business intrigue. What was he thinking?Quote:

I totally believe that Kennedy's assassination marks the beginning of the destruction of the American experiment in democracy. His assassination was the first step in the ascension of the corporatocracy. Just follow the money. Before the assassination, the Defense Department's annual budget was $344 billion. At the height of the war it was $449 billion. Today it is $671 billion. These figures don't even include Afghanistan or Iraq.
The Military Industrial Complex learned in 1963 that assassination is an effective tool for seizing political control and for increasing profits. I believe that in 2001 the MIC, now allied with Big Oil and Big Banking to form the corporatocracy, upped the ante and assassinated 3,000 people as a means of consolidating its control of America.

I lived through the assassination too, and what I noticed, after a few years and Robert Kennedy's assassination, was that Richard Nixon became President; I imagined Dick, having lost to JFK, seeing this Kennedy lineage looming over the rest of his life and realizing that the only way he could ever possibly get to the top would be if they were gone. And then, Dick was in Dallas the day before the assassination.....

Sex is a very strong motivator. Yet, there's another, even more persuasive . . . power!
