The C.I.A. KILLED J.F.K.

Monday, November 18th, 2013

The U.S. National Security

State — CIA, etc.

Killed J.F.K. IN 1963

It’s FIFTY YEARS later & still

UNSPEAKABLE!

     On Nov. 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. He was not killed by a lone assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was a patsy. Oswald was framed and quickly killed by Jack Ruby to silence him. The truth is unspeakable, even to this day. Kennedy was killed by multiple shooters with the killing shot coming, not from the school book depository building in the rear, but from the front, behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll. Recently, Dr. Robert N. McClelland, MD, the surgeon in the Parkland ER that treated Kennedy, stated frankly that the killing shot came from the front causing a massive exit wound in the right side of the President’s skull. The surgeon’s statement can be read below. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/surgeon-in-er-insists-2-gunmen-shot-jfk-708042/#ixzz2i5bmeGxY

 View the Zapruder film of the assassination and you will see the fatal shot from the front, and Kennedy’s head going back and left. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0tZFkVhN00

 Why He Died & Why it Matters!

 1.  Kennedy had announced the withdrawal of the first 1000 “advisers” from Vietnam by the end of 1963 and all troops out by the end of 1965. The CIA and hard line military people did not agree;

2.Kennedy saw the CIA and some of the Joint Chiefs of staff trying to trap him into a full-on invasion of Cuba and a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. He fired CIA director Allen Dulles;

3.Following the Cuban missile crisis Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev began talks to end nuclear testing and take concrete steps toward disarmament.

      President Kennedy was seen as an “enemy of America” by some arms makers that thrived on the Cold War and by key elements in the Pentagon and CIA dedicated to “winning” that war at all costs, even the first use of nuclear weapons. In his final address to the nation, three days before JFK was inaugurated, President, and former General, Dwight David Eisenhower, warned of a growing danger within the U.S. by big business tied to a growing military establishment:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.”

 The U.S. National Security State has grown enormously since President Eisenhower spoke and President John F. Kennedy was murdered. It is now more dangerous than ever!

(Read the very important book –“JFK & the Unspeakable: why he died and why it matters” by James W. Douglass)

Terrorism Takes Many Forms

Thursday, November 14th, 2013

U.S. Is a State

Sponsor of

Terrorism

 
Sidewalk chalk art.

 Drone attacks are raw terror tactics that terrorize civilian populations!

      “Now we know exactly how many members of the U.S. House of Representatives care enough about American terrorism to attend a Congressional briefing about a U.S. drone attack that followed a classic terrorist pattern in killing a grandmother and wounding nine children in Pakistan. Five.

“Five members of “the people’s house” came to the briefing, and one of them was there for the full 90 minutes.

“When one of the witnesses expressed disappointment at the turnout, a congressman reassured him: this was better than we expected. They were all Democrats.

“Had any other American lawmakers joined the audience of somewhat more than 100, they would have heard some of the survivors describe the inexplicable (and unexplained, because the CIA does not explain) attack in which the first drone missile blew up a 67-year-old midwife as she was picking okra and wounded two of her grandchildren. Others came out of a nearby house to see what had happened and the second drone missile wounded seven more children.

“This is a classic terrorist tactic, sometimes called the “double tap,” using the first explosion to draw a crowd of first responders and onlookers as targets for the second explosion. Typically the double tap attack rings up a higher score.

“In a sane world there might be more outcry against the world’s only superpower using terrorist tactics on civilian populations in a half dozen or more countries…

      “… the central fact of drone attacks around the world: the United States is an outlaw nation that continues to violate international law with impunity; it is a rogue state that others cannot control at a cost they are willing to bear. (Other states currently waging drone warfare include Great Britain in Afghanistan and Israel in Gaza.)…” See the full article by William Boardman, Reader Supported News READ MORE

Respecting other nations’ sovereignty really isn’t the American Way!

Just ask Hawaiian Nationals under U.S. occupation!

News article on Pohakuloa

Check out Big Island Weekly article on Pohakuloa

Aloha Kakou,

Below is an email from Shana Logan a freelance writer for the Big Island Weekly.  The link for the actual article is in blue.  In my view the article could have been much better, but every effort at raising questions about Pohakuloa is useful and keeps the issues alive.
Please pass it on.
Mahalo.

Aloha kakou ..hana hou! The forwarded message sent previously didn’t include the link to the online Pohakuloa article, so here it is.  Much more useful! E kala mai, forgive me, but there were a lot of edits done that went in at the last minute, and some other things got cut for space. Thanks so much for your understanding and for your kokua on this article once again. It’s an important issue that must be discussed, and wasn’t easy to condense.  Everyone’s mana’o and what you shared with us of your efforts to do good for the community truly did matter, however, and it was not easy to leave anything out.  In the end, it was an absolute pleasure working with all of you and sharing your part in this important story. Mahalo nui, Shana
