In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: David Talbot named Allen Dulles as 'the Chairman of the Board of the Assassination' [View all]dballance
(5,756 posts)I see a lot of parallels with Obama's actions and JFK's actions that, I feel, led to JFK's assassination. JFK was willing to negotiate with the, then, "enemy," the USSR. Obama is willing to negotiate with the current enemies like Syria and Iran. Peace is not nearly as profitable and enabling of power-grabbing as war.
The CIA, and the MIC need their wars, power and money. Obama is a temporary impediment with a limited term in office. The people turning the cogs in the intelligence agencies and the MIC are long-term players.
Of course the President doesn't really control the CIA. Richard Helms admitted as much in his testimony to either the Warren Commission or the House Select Committee on Assassinations. I'll have to look that up. But, the CIA during Kennedy's time was a rouge organization that undertook operations that were contrary to JFK's orders. His military generals did everything they could to provoke Kruschev/USSR into a conflict. If you think that sort of thing hasn't only gotten worse then you're naive.
