The WAR between JFK and CIA

[David Josephs]

Central to the concept of SPONSORS is that there are no rogues... that there is a plan and direction and that it is coordinated... not necessarily that someone was pulling his levers as much as his actions were part of a whole designed to forward the interests of a global concern...

JA said you were looking anew at Admiral Burkley after discovering that he didn't become JFK's personal physician until the summer of '63. I had always assumed the relationship was longer, but mid-1963 certainly looks like the the crucial time for getting ducks lined up for the assassination. And as ducky luck would have it, weren't Dulles and Hunt wrapping up their collaboration on The Craft of Intelligence at just about the same time?

Interesting how that book is so pivotal given it builds on the techniques presented in Sun Tzu's ancient Art of War. I am researching the creation of the US intelligence "industry" that brought us to 1947 and then on to 1963. It remains my belief that after over 150 years Army and Navy Intelligence was not just going to hand the reins over to some start-up staffed/infultrated with Russian and German communists. But I am only just now scratching the surface and compiling my research... I hope something decent comes of it

He was posted as the physician at Camp David, a Navy facility, in 1959
and accompanied President Eisenhower on a major trip to the Far East. In August
of 1961 Dr. Burkley was promoted to Rear Admiral and assigned to the White
House, initially as assistant physician before becoming Physician to the
President in June of 1963. Responsible for the day-to-day management of JFK's
rather complex medical situation which included Addison's Disease he also
provided care to the White House staff.

Camp David manages a recruiting team to identify Sailors for assignment to Camp David by traveling to various naval facilities. The recruiting team conducts record screening and personal interviews with personnel who meet the initial qualification criteria. Once selected, a single scope background investigation will be initiated by the Camp David recruiting team to determine Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (TS/SCI) eligibility with a Yankee White (YW) clearance.

[size=12]Camp David screening procedures require time intensive and costly background investigations. A TS/SCI and YW clearance may take approximately 10 to 18 months to complete. Therefore, upon notification from a Camp David recruiting yeoman, Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM), Major Washington/Memphis Staff detailer (PERS-4010F) will place a candidate's record in a detailing hold status. This hold status notifies the respective rating detailers that the candidate is being screened
for Camp David and not to create orders. Once a candidate receives a YW clearance and meets all other requirements per MILPERSMAN 1306-900 and MILPERSMAN 1306-945, the recruiting yeoman will notify NAVPERSCOM (PERS-4010F) to create orders to Camp David, with the exception of those candidates recruited directly from "A" school, who will report to Camp David while their YW clearance is being processed.

Burkley spent alot of time around Eisenhower up at Camp David in the years prior (Camp David appears to have been overseen by the Navy).... He was als instrumental in getting Dr Travell replaced due to her overuse of steriod therapy and his concern that JFK's muscles would atrophy. Burkley remains the only doctor to see JFK in Dallas and Bethesda... and was NOT called by the WC.

BURKLEY: Oh, it was a question of several weeks. At that time, I had
attempted to secure the aid of a physical medicine specialist. Doctor Hans
Kraus of New York, and had requested contact with him from Dr. Travell. She had
resisted doing this, and I, I said if she did not call him personally, I would
call him. And at that point he was called, and from then on the management of
the President's exercise and program was entirely under Dr. Kraus and Dr.
Travell was instructed not to have any, to attempt to interfere in any way.
