Joan Mellen talk at COPA 2013 on Garrison, CIA et al.

[Albert Doyle]

Hi Albert... no one is saying the CIA were not the main Facilitators, with a capital "F". But to say they SPONSORED it is to not understand the model.
To believe that Dulles and the CIA (and JFK for that matter) were not part of something much larger is to ignore history..

Right. Works for me.


To me a proper analogy would be electrical plasma arcking from the Sponsors to Dulles, Phillips, Angleton, and Harvey. That way at the critical times there would be no separation of power and function between those two groups. So it takes some really 3D thinking to understand how that dynamic worked. That way the whole function of CIA would be to extend the power and will of those Sponsors you detailed into government in a way that skipped democratic regulation. An analogy would be that the electrical transformer substation of government failed to have the right equipment to prevent this electrical arcking short-circuit of power. JFK got zapped in Dealey Plaza. As Donald Sutherland would say in Kelly's Heroes​, "Like electrocuted, daddy-O"...
