As Jim Mars noted in his book Crossfire, from 1963 to 1976, 103 people died under suspicious circumstances that were connected with the JFK assassination. In 1977, as the Select Committee on Assassination was about to hear testimony 6 FBI and CIA agents that were scheduled to testify died within six months.
The Justice Department's decision in January of 1977 not to indict Angleton set a precedent and sent a message that the secret intelligent arm of the government could reserve the right to review without warrant or stated cause, the private communication of Americans in the name of "national security." With the fall of Nixon and the exposure of the full details of CHAOS and other illegal operations, Angleton's position of head of counterintelligence became controversial and unpopular. When George Bush became the eleventh Director of the CIA in January of 1976, he allowed James Angleton to access his own files which he quickly destroyed. Sixteen years later Bush as President and William Barr as his Attorney General covered up the crimes of Bush and the others involved in Iran Contra with pardons.
With the passage of time, Angleton's thinking would prevail. After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the clandestine powers regained their upper hand. With Dick Cheney, serving as the powerful vice-president and legislative author, Congress passed the Patriotic Act, allowing the government to conduct mass surveillance of Americans' private communications, focusing on phone calls and emails. This happened because of the 1977 decision not to indict Angleton. Angleton was the founding father of U.S. mass surveillance and assassination policies. Dick Cheney picked up where James Angleton had left off.
Now we have William Barr again as Attorney General covering up the crimes of Donald Trump by not indicting Trump for obstruction of justice, when he persuaded people to commit perjury and change their testimonies, as he said he would do in his confirmation hearing before congress.
In nature, the season that is about to arrive is always the farthest removed from memory. We must constantly remember the horrid open wounds of history. The horrors, the cases of the JFK assassination and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, must be re-opened, for they will forever fester, never forgotten, until the truth prevails.
Our time begs for understanding, and one way to seek it is to dethrone pseudo facts from their position of infallibility.
To remain in the infancy of knowledge, is to forever remain an intellectual and emotional child. Cicero
