We can't have that and still be The United States of America.
We can be something else: a dictatorship, an oligarchy, a giant plantation of slaves for the sundry American corporations.
But we can't be The Good Ol' US of A - and not have open tours of the FBI.
Send Cub Scout Pack 532 of Helena through there and inspect the hidden documents. That might do it.
In the 1970s a group of citizens broke into the FBI offices in Media, Pennsylvania and stole files, papers.
Maybe it was a Boy Scout Troop. Way to go, guys!
That is how we found out about COINTELPRO. Psssst. Otherwise, they weren't going to tell us.
Just as they were not going to tell us who killed JFK, RFK, MLK.
The way they are not ever going to tell us whether we really went to the moon, who killed Paul Wellstone, who really attacked us on 911.
Somebody or some group would really have to want to know.
Or it never happens.
Back in the 1980s, in Omaha, Ruth and I lived in a resistance community called Greenfields, named after an anti-war song. The members of our group often went to jail for non-violent civil disobedience at Offutt Air Force Base.
Stepping over a white line in the road.
We were considered a threat for that.
Two of our "members," Marylyn Felien, an ex-nun, and Kevin McGuire, once a seminarian, were scheduled to go to federal court for an Offutt action. They decided instead to show up at the Cathedral of the Omaha Catholic church and ask for sanctuary.
That way the archbishop would be forced to deal with the Strategic Air Command located at Offutt. And then people would find out that he supported SAC. And wonder just how does that square with the words of Jesus?
