Allen Dulles' "Indonesian Strategy" and the Assassination of JFK

[Scott Kaiser]

strategy of ending conflict throughout Southeast Asia and assisting the growth of democracy in newly liberated post-colonial countries worldwide.

Before there could be an uprising growth in democracy for all countries worldwide, there would need to be a revolt against all communist countries worldwide.

Scott, there were relatively few communist countries in 1961-63. Most of the Third World was still struggling to overcome the effects of decades or centuries of being ruled over by European empires.

My understanding of Scott's viewpoint is that he is very sympathetic to the old Cold Warrior mindset -- you're either with us or against us. The so-called third world countries were basically socialist and needed to be treated as such. JFK was standing in the way of progress and even helping the other side. It's just as well some Cuban patriots rubbed him out. Sad, but necessary. Right Scott?

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question Lauren, I wasn't trying to avoid you or ignore you, I just over looked it. To answer your question, no. I'm not sympathetic to the Cold Warrior's mindset, whatever that may be. You're confusing me with my father. Also, I believe you have me confused with either the lone assassin theorists, or the conspiracy theorists when you say; "you're either with us or against us." Again, I do not choose sides, I'm not for one side or the other. I do however agree with your ending statement that Kennedy was rubbed out by some Cuban, American, and foreign American patriots who were trained by the CIA, and like most if not all "patriots" who found themselves in a situation, always found their way out through the company, do I really need to post names to provide an example? Or, would you take my word for it?
