The JFK Plot: A Structural Model

[Cliff Varnell]

I notice Harriman's name is not mentioned.

Family Of Secrets pg. 16:

Understanding the role of Brown Brothers Harriman is central to understanding the Bush legacy and the vast, if underappreciated, influence of the Bushes' immediate circle.

The key word here is "underappreciated."


A more forceful case for this is made in Tarpley and Chaitkin's George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography.

Is Harriman the root of all evil? Not a chance.

Throw in his less pro-active business-partners/legacy-allies Rockefeller, Morgan and Warburg -- and we are indeed at the root of vast evil.

[Charles Drago]

Correct (with a minor clarification; see below), Cliff.

But your latest statement is at variance with your previous characterizations of Harriman.

I wouldn't describe the perceived difference between Harriman and the others you cite as being the former's "pro-active" status.

Harriman was their front-of-the-house man.

Family Of Secrets pg. 16:

The key word here is "underappreciated."

As you know, I was referring to the fact that Harriman was not mentioned in the review posted by Dawn (post #37).

I realise the Bush and Harriman families, and several others, were part of the military/intelligence network, oil plutocracy and the export of war for profit. For my part, I can't see GHWB as being a major sponsor of DP at age 39. I could be wrong, the evil of this crowd can't be underestimated.

I've yet to see the strong case against Harriman as mentioned on this thread, but one must keep an open mind to any and all plausible possibilities.

[Charles Drago]

Agreed on GHWB.

[Dawn Meredith]

Agreed on GHWB.

I agree and disagree. Agree that he is part of the evil, but that he was front and center takes him out of group A: they remain behind the curtain, running the show. However, can anyone comment on WHY he'd be briefed on the assassination the day after, at 39? Why he said he does not know where he was 11/22/63? What his relationship was with DeMohrenschildt? The Bush crime family is tied to all that is wrong with this country, imho.

However, can anyone comment on WHY he'd be briefed on the assassination the day after, at 39?

Two reasons: To spread guilt by association to those already around him, and to incriminate him for future blackmail purposes.

Why he said he does not know where he was 11/22/63?

Two reasons: To indicate that his whereabouts that day are irrelevant to the murder, and because in this instance it's apparently too complicated and dangerous to make up an alibi.

What his relationship was with DeMohrenschildt?

Dawn

GDM's function, in my opinion, was to link LHO to false sponsors.

Happy New Year, my friend.

Happy New Year, Charles -- and all our friends here at DP Forum!

I look forward to continuing our discussions in 09 -- be safe, ya'all!

Russ Baker's new book
...
Baker does not focus on Bush Jr.'s grandfather, Prescott Bush, and does not even mention his role in the plot to overthrow President Roosevelt in 1933 ( http://davidswanson.org/node/1337 ). Baker's focus is on Poppy, although Prescott and his anger toward Kennedy are in the background. ....

Thanks for the review Dawn.

I'm eager to read the book but I must say I'm stunned that Prescott would get a pass. Prescott write a letter to Allen Dulles' wife expressing rage at JFK and RFK over the Bay of Pigs "fiasco" and stating "I have never forgiven them." (See attachment.) According to http://www.jfkmurdersolved.com/bush.htm the letter was written in 1968, after RFK was killed.

I don't understand how the Bush dynasty story, or even the JFK assassination story, can be told without considerable focus on Prescott Bush.

Myra:
Can't read the letter, even when I click on it it is way too small.
