Do you really believe those guys in the bleachers at the Bethesda morgue, smoking their cigars, were capable off feeling guilt. These were ruthless people. And they were hell bent on destroying Communism. And they thought Kennedy was one. His approach to Castro was the final straw.

You're seeing proof here that the CIA is an anti-democratic entity whose very existence threatens the integrity of American democracy. When Truman signed it into being he was installing something that by its very nature would necessarily usurp and displace democracy.


Guilt can occur on the unconscious level. If you look at VietNam geographically it is the oriental equivalent of Cuba. Since the US had locked itself out of Cuba with the Missile Crisis agreements VietNam served the psy-ops equivalent of the US placing its proxy state underneath the growing power of Communist China and Russia. I guess the idea was to start a spread of democracy right in the craw of China and Russia just like Cuba was to the US. Psychologically the war hawks got their big bang in the assassination of the president which probably satisfied the feeling of powerlessness under Kennedy. Short of all out nuclear war they were then satisfied showing an American counter to the domino theory in SE Asia.

Quote:Those who want to know the truth have known it for decades. The initial story was designed to fall apart under the slightest questioning. The problem that we face is that people do not want to know the truth about almost anything. In this internet age learning the truth of almost anything is fairly simple. The apathy of the people is the problem. People go about thier daily lives never questioning the millions of lies they have been told since birth. The plotters know they could count on the apathy of the people and the total complicity of the media.
However if the question is "Will the Government ever tell us the truth?" I say not a chance.
