In reply to the discussion: JFK worked to keep peace, bring prosperity for all. Others since 22 Nov 1963, not so much. [View all]hifiguy
(33,688 posts)If you read Talbot's book and James Douglass' "JFK and the Unpeakable" the last 52 years become crystal clear. Those two books draw the whys and hows of 11/22/1963 so clearly that Ray Charles could tell you what the picture is.
What is amazing to me is why some people have no curiosity at all about how the country has gone so horribly astray since JFK's death.
But one reason is that Allen Dulles and the people he was the frontman for were very fond of German fascism and brought countless Nazis- NOT ex-Nazis, there was nothing "ex" about them and many would have been hanged or imprisoned at Nuremberg had Dulles not protected them - to the US and liberally seeded them through the intelligence apparatus. The oligarchs of the day thought German Fascism was the bright shining wave of the future and FDR's implacable opposition to Hitler, even before the war, was yet another thing they held against him.
The Nazis won the war against the US, but it took until the mid-1950s. Win they assuredly did, however.
