If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny

If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we

are to achieve our destiny, then we need more

new ideas for more wise men reading good books

in more public libraries. These libraries should be

open to all, except the censor. We must know all

the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to

all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial

books and controversial authors. For the Bill of

Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our

Liberty.

John F. Kennedy

October 29, 1960

Americans have hidden behind the mask of their countries good intentions for so long that their faces have grown into that mask.

The key question of our time was based on a study by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in August of 1963 to rationalize the large planned cuts in defense spending contemplated by John F. Kennedy.

The organizing principle of any society is for war. The

basic authority of a modern state over its people resides

in its war powers. War readiness accounts for approximately

20% of the world's total economy.

With the end of World War II we must understand that plans had already been made for military activities in Korea and Vietnam and for the creation of the CIA along with its counterpart, the State Security State, or KGB, and their roles of war makers.

In illustrating this theory we must trace the divergent paths of the early 1950s Vietnam and the Saigon Military Mission, and how Chairman Mao Zedong of Communist China with his guerrilla-war ideology strongly influenced our "civic action" paramilitary strategies in Vietnam and Central America. How the helicopter and its economic military demands forced us into to the Vietnam War. How the TFX fighter battle between Boeing and General Dynamics fractured the Kennedy administration.

We must understand the true meaning of the Pentagon Papers and the shocking and deceitful omissions in them, and the self-congratulatory complacency of our "liberal" media, and the malignant forces that were operating behind the scenes of the Pentagon Papers that stole our future from us.

We must come to understand the treason of McGeorge Bundy, the assistant to President Kennedy who signed the first draft of NSAM, the National Security Action Memorandum #273, on November 21, 1963, which was in direct contradiction to all previous Kennedy policies of getting out of Vietnam. Could this have happened unless Bundy knew that JFK would not be around the next day?

We must come to understand the infusion of the Nazi Gehlen network of personnel, Nazi methods, and ultimately a Nazi frame of mind into American ruling society that once seeded would change forever how we operated in the world, that led irrevocably, tragically for our Constitution and our history, to the paramilitary domestic coup d'etat in Dallas, on November 22, 1963. We must understand concisely that JFK was not murdered just for his policies on Vietnam and Cuba, but because he was fundamentally changing the economic might of the global U.S.A. corporate state and its New World Order. Kennedy not only undermined Federal Reserve Board, but the CIA, capitalism's invisible army, and its thousand-headed Medusa of an economic system, and most dangerously the $6 trillion in Cold War money of the "High Cabal" and its military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address, in January of 1961.

These are the key questions for over 50 years. The control of the way we think, the way the media tries to tell us to think, and the way we must think if we are to resist the ultimate desecration of the planet at the hands of the United States.

Ultimately, we must ask who owns America. Who owns reality? Is it he that makes it up so that most everyone believes it? That person wins, as George Orwell so presciently pointed out in 1984. If Mr. Hitler had won World War II, the version of events now given to us, invasions of Third World lower slave races for mineral-resources, like Venezuela today, and for world-wide economic power would not be much off the mark. But instead of Nazi jackboots, we have men in suits and ties with attache cases, "lawyer capitalism," as Buckminster Fuller called it.

In August of 1963 the movie The Ugly American was released. The movie stars Marlon Brando as an ambassador to a Southeast Asian country like Vietnam. In the end he comes to realize that he has been duped by the duplicitous Ugly American representatives of the secret-service agency he has put his faith in.

As Brando discovered too late, the CIA, the Ugly American, has learned to hide behind its best cover, the mask of its good intentions, when it actually devours more money, more time, more manpower, and more effort in support of its immoral activities all over the world, not to mention within this country. And now we have Venezuela. For the world as a whole, the CIA has become the bogey that communism has been for America.

When we understand such activity carefully, we must realize that the essence of the never-audited Pentagon and CIA covert operations directed and carried out by the government of our country, from the top down, is the denial of the international and NATO-supported concept of nation-state sovereignty, the principle upon which the family of nations exists.

The roles of America and Russia have been reversed in the world's eyes. Today, America and its fascist neocons have become the nightmare.
