Who is Anton Batey?
Part One: Batey's Posthumous Assassination of JFK
by Brian Hunt with Jim DiEugenio
This is a ctka machine, the Rolls mechanic taking a day to correctly set the four doors on their hinges, a Roman road of depth and long service life, nothing superficial. (10,322 words)
Anton Batey is not full of himself, but rather, full of Noam Chomsky, apologist for Pol Pot's genocide and Holocaust denier Fourisson. Puppeteer and puppet sing lalala I can't hear you in re the Cold War context and the crimes of Korea, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Stalin and Mao.
Appalling as it may seem, Batey claims JFK "used the CIA" and "funded the military-industrial complex."
Hunt notes this mad assertion requires blindness toward Kennedy's response to the Bay of Pigs CIA performance, his NSAM 55, 56 and 57, creation of the DIA, setting his brother Robert to ride herd on the rogue spooks, place authority in U.S. ambassadors, not CIA agentsin other words, the Get Smart phone shoe is on the other foot.
Batey gets the Bay of Pigs wrong, framing Kennedy with an ownership he never hadafter all, it was an Eisenhower-era plan held closely to Allen Dulles' vest.
Batey, in like manner, gets the missile crisis wrong, making Kennedy the atomic cowboy and the Russians the cooler heads. The author notes it was not JFK who placed all the nuclear weapons so close to CONUS, nor he who wished to saddle up an ICBM Chill Wills-style and nuke those Russkys back to the Stone Age.
Batey presents as E. Howard Hunt in framing Kennedy for the killing of the Diem brotherswhen it was Lodge, the rogue whom 35 was going to 86 before he himself was Diemed in Dallas. (Some say Lodge's accessory Lucien Conein was on the street that day. Would Batey say he was there to pick up dry cleaning and stopped to watch the paradestay tuned.)
Batey persists in insisting Kennedy was going to go to war in Vietnam, despite the president's 1961 instruction to prepare an exit strategy.
Batey conflates NSAM 263 with 273, ignoring that Kennedy was planning withdrawal behind a screen of confidentiality; ignoring, too, that 273 was never seen by Kennedy, and signed by Johnson on the Tuesday after the Monday funeral.
So, summing up, we have a puppet of a dogmatist who ignores reality in favor of solipsistic sand castles.
Thus Hunt begins to answer the question, who is Anton Batey.
