Since we just posted the review of Newman's book, in which Freeport Sulphur appears prominently, I decided to also post the work Lisa Pease did on this subject.

In my opinion, her two parter was one of the ten best articles that Probe ever published. And if you read the Probe anthology The Assassinations, you will understand just what that means. It was not included there since it dealt a lot with Kennedy's foreign policy, for which we did not have a section in that book.
But this two parter was a sterling piece of work. Many of us do not really understand how corporations connect with the CIA and foreign policy in a direct way. Well this article showed it happening. And second, for me, it expanded the focus of Kennedy's foreign policy out of just the Cuba/Vietnam nexus into a completely different area, i.e. Indonesia. In that sense, it was a milestone since she showed that the same thing that happened in Vietnam, also happened in Indonesia with Sukarno. Which, in turn, made me think that hey, there was a lot more to JFK's foreign policy than just Cuba and Vietnam.
There was. Kennedy's foreign policy was revolutionary.
Anyway, read them, you will be both startled and enlightened.
Anyway, this is the kind of stuff Probe printed and delivered by mail on a regular basis. Get the CD for more of it.
