(9,258 posts)I listened to your taped link (in post 151), and read Octa's 3rd link (in post 135), in reply to your post 88. Your tape of JFK on Nov. 4 says that Kennedy was in charge, threw a coup like a cold warrior, then regretted it, especially the resulting deaths. The 3rd link in post 135 has quite a bit of info that says the right wing in our intel apparatus were the actors in the coup, JFK wasn't.
I don't feel you're being hostile or vituperative with me, we just don't share the same view of things. I think that Kennedy was facing what Eisenhower warned against, a very undemocratic group of people within the government, who served the interests of people who were more powerful than the President and the Administration. In fighting against the threat to democracy these people represented, he wasn't jealously guarding his power in order to do the same bad cold warrior things they did, he wanted a more democratic and less cold warrior path. He was struggling against those nasty nazi forces of reaction on a lot of fronts, and they killed him.
To have Hunt -- Nixon and Poppy's associate, one of those virulently nasty nazi forces of reaction -- faking evidence that 'proves' Kennedy was a cold warrior, exhibits for me the famous repug projection tactic. They love to scream accusations of guilt at their political opponents about things which they themselves are guilty of. It's character assassination on top of the actual assassination. It's double think, telling us the guy they said was a lilly livered commie appeaser was also a criminally blood thirsty anti commie. It's also interesting how all three of those swine were in Dallas on 11 22, and all of them told oddly inconsistent stories about where they were or how they heard about the assassination.
Hunt was one of the box car 'tramps', and it doesn't matter one bit that Carto's Liberty Lobby won the defamation suit he filed against them for saying so. To have a far right outfit get into a high profile fight with Hunt about the info is just part of the repuglinazis tactics, to try to frame anyone, who says Hunt was picked up in Dealey, as a right wing nut job, and to control both sides of the debate.
