In 1998 on the Prouty forum a question was posed to be forwarded to Fletcher Prouty. It was from a man that became a friend of mine, for a short time we had telephone contact before he was taken from the community.
John Ritchson asked "Did Ed Lansdale have the command authority to stand down the 112th MIG?"
Just that question opened a door to the more Poly-Sci approach to the questions of the murder and aftermath for me. The "how" of the Coup and resultant empowerment of the ST took a new turn away from trajectory angles and the knoll. A turn into the "how" of how was the SService averted from sworn duty, how could the supplementary assistance of the military to the SS be so easily aborted and how could an intentionally deceptive post mortem be allowed to stand as "findings of fact".
And the odd events around the funny football. OK folks How the hell could that happen? WO who? Well I'll be .....
I know John Ritchson when he posed the question didn't realize the effect that question would have on my own thinking and others I am sure. I thanked him just for askin' the question.
Away from a bottom up idea towards a top down longer view encompassing more history than from inauguration to assassination. A deeper politics view.
I was rebooted in whole new directions, to Narlins for my own danged self, to comb thru odd circumstances around the subversion of Judge Jim Garrison's case and other historic events like the aborted HSCA investigation and the Iran-Contra hearings to identify the roaches when they scuttle away from the overturned rocks and so on.
Just being in the circle to hear the question was an opening to an unanticipated consequence, a positive one.
However, it is my considered opinion that these folks have no shame. None. They have killed the innocent and learned how to enjoy doing evil. How could they ever be shamed by their underlings the Untermenschen? If Otto Von Bolschwing can die at peace in bed in California there is no shame in the Empire nor in its minions.
Any change produced is gonna have to come in the hearts of others not taking a place in the Empire or willing to abandon the Empire. Isn't that what Martin King and Ghandi said? Jim Douglass and his work strikes again.
