This last
weekend the AARC Conference drew over 200 to the Bethesda Hyatt
Regency on the 50th
anniversary of the Warren Report. Kennedy's violent death in 1963
shocked Americans, undermining public trust.
The Warren
Commission's purpose was to ease the minds of Americans, not to
discover the truth. At the time most Americans needed reassurance,
accepting what they were told.
In the
years since more shocks have fallen, and reassurances are now thin.
Records, now public which refute facts originally provided, are
raising more questions for Americans from every walk of life.
In 1963
Andrew Kreig, was sitting in his high school history class when he
learned the President had been shot. He believed the assurances
given until four years ago.
Now both an
attorney and investigative journalist, he realized these holes in the
official story, rigidly ignored by the Main Stream Media, of which he
was so long a part, must be answered.
Today,
Kreig has 60 books on the subject. His book, Presidential
Puppetry, covered new ground
on the assassination. Puppetry
is now being updated into a second edition to include the Warren
Report and current revelations on other events which shocked America.
Half a
century after the Kennedy murder people, now aging themselves, are
beginning to speak out to clear the record, a natural reaction as we
face our own final judgment.
A retired
judge from Cleveland who served on the Commission, attended the
Conference with two non-Warren Commission colleagues. He has yet to
speak out, but is considering doing so.
Kreig
realized the Kennedy murder was only one of several incidents,
stretching back to the Lincoln Assassination, where facts were
withheld to 'reassure' the public. The possibilities concealed
include the CIA as the assassins of JFK.
Questions
are also open on the deaths of Martin Luther King and Robert
Kennedy.
Other
events, which changed American and now haunt us, include the Iran
Hostage Crisis, Iran – Contra, Pearl Harbor, and the defeat of
President Taft, a Conservative who would have refused to take us into
war, by outsider, Woodrow Wilson. Wilson approved that foreign
conflict after signing the Federal Reserve into law on June 23,
1913, two decisions benefiting corporate elites.
Reassuring
us with half truths makes us vulnerable to ever more manipulations
and lies. Consider the mortgage meltdown and other events which have
harmed millions.
Now,
instead of 'reassurance' we need the truth.
For some real insight into JFK and the political context that brought about his assassination, read JFK and the Unspeakable, by James Douglass. Hint: it has a lot to do with Kennedy's successful ending of the Cuban missile crisis (without war) and his attempt at an early exit from the Vietnam War, much to the dislike of the generals and the military industrial complex. Kennedy's assassination has had a lot more impact on all of us than most people realize.
ReplyDeleteJFK must have been doing something right. Big Oil is also a contender in the Assassination Sweep Stakes.
