In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: Mark Lane Addressed the Secret Government’s Role in the Assassination [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)...in the early 70s. It made me examine what the Warren Commission and Corporate McPravda missed: the big part of the story that demonstrated the goverment was lying about the assassination of President Kennedy.
The mountain of evidence we've learned since then supports Mr. Lane. For one thing, the CIA hired the Mafia in 1960 to kill Castro and others and didn't stop when ordered to do so by JFK. Another is how the CIA monitored Oswald closely before the assassination. Then there's the "little incident in Mexico City" where someone impersonated Oswald and some in CIA said it's him and others in CIA said it wasn't.
What's convinced me, however, is seeing with my own eyes what organizations and individuals have most benefited by national policies since Nov. 22, 1963: the warmongers, greedheads and power trippers historically aligned with the Dulles Brothers -- from Wall Street to Offshore Banking, from War Inc to Spy Central, from Mafia Economics and KKK election stealers to Welcome Back NAZI. You know, Jackpine Radical, these are the most un-democratic forces in the United States of America.
It's clear the last half century has been the time, as George W "5-4" Bush put it: "Money trumps peace." President Kennedy, for 1,037 days, moved us away from that path, thankfully. Sadly for democracy, the nation's corporate controlled press have largely succeeded in burying this reality.
