  • Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US
    Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US The moral cesspool of National Politics Introduction Since leaving a start-up company as a result of the dot-com bust, I have engaged in, among other things, reviewing the literature to try to understand the controversy regarding various, potentially linked, events, including: the murders of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy; Iran-Contra; the PROMIS affair; the October surprise; domestic call-boy—corruption rings; the Panama invasion, and the two Iraq wars. Note: Most people who read the following will find it extremely disturbing, since it shakes our confidence in our basic institutions and leaders. However, I believe that the material below is accurate. It represents a distillation of many books and web references which, though written independently by credible researchers, corroborate each other. Although I have footnoted many of the statements, I chose not to be even more comprehensive to make the document shorter and more readable. It is not enough to just document excesses, though. I plan another white paper to deal with correcting those excesses.1 Initially, two key remedies appear to be: Almost complete transparency in government, and declassification of almost everything over, say, 10 years old. Setting up independent review panels of any federal operations that have the capacity to commit, or allow, significant crimes. Decriminalization of drug possession and distribution. Drug money is funding almost all the illicit activities, and maintaining a web of corruption that is so pervasive that the entire government is dysfunctional2. 1 The revelations in this document are less than a few percent of that convincingly presented in the literature.

THE NEW SEDITIOUS LIBEL Judith Schenck Koffert & Bennett L Gershman t Let all men take heede how they complayne in wordes against any magistrate, for they are gods. -- Star Chamber saying You've just got to trust us. -Richard Helms, former CIA Director INTRODUCTION Seditious libel is the crime of criticizing the government. It trans- forms dissent, which the first amendment has traditionally been thought to protect, into heresy. Fundamentally antidemocratic, the distinguish- ing feature of seditious libel is, as its nomenclature suggests, injury to the reputation of government or its functionaries. Those who impugn au- thority's good image are diabolized and their criticisms punished as blasphemy. In this way, the doctrine lends a juristic mask to political repression. Seditious libel is alive and well despite attempts of judges and scholars to knock it on the head once and for all.' It is difficult to recog- nize, however, for it wears the mantle of official secrecy and waves the banner of national security.

  • The Hughes- Nixon
    /t; "Atl the News that Firs" IN THIS SS-UE Strange Bedfellows • by Howard Kohn 40 il HE HUGHES-NIXON-LANSKY CONNECTION: The Secret Alliances of the CIA" is one of the most ambitious and intricate pieces we have ever attempted. Howard Kohn began work on it nearly a year ago, when all he had to look at was the emerging connection between the Miami-based TCuban exiles and the CIA. Early on he discovered new details about the CIA's contracts with the Mafia to assassinate Castro. but the then-exclusive information was revealed a few months later by the Senate select committee headed by Frank Church. We have put together a narrative of these "strange bedfellows," based entirely on factual information; compelling patterns have emerged which point to a reading of postwar history that foreshadows recent revelations about the "intelligence community." As details about the CIA were released piecemeal during the year— by the Senate committee and various investigative reporters, most notably the New York Times staff and CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr—so the shape and scope of our story changed almost weekly. Webs of circumstance and coincidence were investigated for con- nective details that have turned up a large and concrete pattern of alliances. These suppressed connections help to account for many of the aberrations that have pockmarked the domestic and international record of the United States since World War II. At several points in the narrative, it was tempting to include inter- pretations and conclusions. But no matter how inescapable certain theories appeared, we tried to limit the report to the facts.

  • Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019
    Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019 https://lorenzoae.wordpress.com/ Noam Chomsky recently took to the pages of The Intercept to give his blessing to the US military’s occupation of Syria, solidifying his support for the Pentagon after years of having done so in slightly more anguished terms. As far as the occupation, the only concession to what might once have been considered “Leftist” values is the MIT professor’s acknowledgement that the US is motivated by “power considerations” rather than “humanitarian objectives.” Today, the brief nod to realpolitik is what’s supposed to pass for a progressive anti-war stance. The Intercept is really a natural fit for Chomsky to deliver this message. The nonagenarian professor has limited years left on earth, and when he passes, Glenn Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar’s website will probably become the new face of the permissible Left. That Chomsky lends his radical imprimatur to a US military occupation in its pages is a testament to what kind of a “Left” Chomsky has helped to create and is bequeathing to Greenwald and Omidyar. To get an idea of the before-and-after picture, consider two recent pieces from Alfred McCoy, a historian who, like Chomsky, has produced radical scholarship for almost half a century. McCoy has done some of the best work on the CIA’s role in the global heroin trade, the relationship between foreign counterinsurgency and domestic policing, and the United States’ peerless role in developing and exporting new forms of torture. McCoy claims that while researching his landmark book The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, he came under attack by CIA mercenaries; after its publication, McCoy was monitored by the CIA and audited by the IRS, and ultimately had to move to Australia for 11 years in order to keep working.

  • The American Press, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Cold War
    “A Rising Clamor”: The American Press, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Cold War Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By David Putnam Hadley, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Peter L. Hahn (co-advisor) Robert J. McMahon (co-advisor) Jennifer Siegel Copyright by David Putnam Hadley 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the development of relationships between the U.S. press and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Cold War, from shortly before the official creation of the CIA in 1947 to the major congressional investigations of the CIA in 1975-76. This dissertation seeks to answer four related questions. First, what was the nature and origin of the relationships that developed between the press and the CIA? Second, to what use did the CIA attempt to put such relationships? Third, what was the actual impact of press/CIA relationships on reporting? Finally, how did the CIA’s relations with the press affect the development of the agency? The efforts to answer these questions involved two main methods. The first method was an extensive examination of the product of domestic newspapers and journals from 1945 to 1976 that examined the activities of the CIA and the development of the U.S. intelligence system. The second method was archival research in private and institutional collections. I conclude that there was no single relationship formed between the CIA and the press. The CIA did have a program of operationally using reporters, though details remain difficult to determine.

  • Still Thinking About Dallas (Summer 2018)
    Still thinking about Dallas1 Robin Ramsay On the wonderful Mary Ferrell site2 there is a list of some of the books on the Kennedy assassination that were published in 2017. Among them is a new edition of John Newman’s JFK and Vietnam. I have both his Oswald and the CIA and Where Angels Tread Lightly: the Assassination of President Kennedy, Volume 1. I have read the CIA book but I have barely skimmed the Angels book. The CIA book reworks in extraordinary detail a number of the incidents in Oswald’s career as a CIA agent? asset? – which isn’t clear. The Angels book is about Cuba and the beginnings of the CIA’s attempts to overthrow Fidel Castro. It has no bearing I can see on the Kennedy assassination. Dr. Newman represents one end of the assassination research spectrum. His is academic research, albeit of an extremely rarefied nature. The assassination per se barely figures in what I have read of his work. Newman says on p. 320 of the Angels book that the assassination will be solved by ploughing through official paper in the National Archives.3 But what are the chances of there being anything significant in them? What are the chances of there being anything significant about the assassination on official US paper anywhere? Assuming, for the sake of argument, that somewhere within the US intelligence community there is institutional knowledge of whodunit,4 we may also assume that nothing will be left on paper which points towards the assassination conspiracy (if anything was put there in the first place).
