Is The JFK Assassination and "Coverup" an indication we live in a "Deep State"?

[Tom Scully]

Of course he is...  Oswald did it----Epstein's theory----

OK where did all that come from? Nixon was at the White House several times. [Perhaps not invited into the living quarters] So what?
The shallower the investigation...the deeper the state.
Was the Oswald diary fake?

My point is that Upton Sinclair had it right, one hundred years ago, in "The Brass Check". "Ownership of the Owners" is a treatise on how the advertisers control the messaging, to protect themselves from being criticized by the journalists who they pay a large portion of the salaries of. Journalists, even those employed by NPR and PBS because both are partially funded by foundations of wealthiest capitalists, are dissuaded from biting the hands that feed them. (See Gary Webb).

Webb was more a victim of "Access journalism" than he was by stepping on toes of advertisers.

Lieutenant General Joseph Francis Carroll (March 19, 1910 – January 20, 1991) was the founding director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the first commander of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI or OSI).[1]
....He was instrumental in catching noted gangster Roger "Tough" Touhy, which brought him to the personal attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. In May 1944, he was transferred to the Washington headquarters of the FBI, where he held progressive positions as supervisor in charge of bank robbery and kidnapping matters, chief of the Criminal Section, and first assistant to the assistant director of the FBI in charge of the General Investigations and Accounting Division.[1]

At the end of World War II, the U.S. Government was faced with the problem of disposition of war surplus property throughout the world. Upon special request from the administrator of the Surplus Property Administration, Carroll was lent by the attorney general and the director of the FBI to the Surplus Property Administration (later the War Assets Administration). In this assignment he organized and directed the Compliance Enforcement Division, directing all investigative activity associated with surplus property disposal. In May 1947, he was recalled to his former position in the FBI as an administrative assistant to the director of the FBI.[1]....
.....
On February 1, 1960, General Carroll was promoted to lieutenant general and became The Inspector General of the U.S. Air Force stationed at Headquarters, U.S. Air Force, in Washington, D.C. He remained in that position until October 1, 1961, when the secretary of defense, Robert S. McNamara, appointed him to his last assignment as the first director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, with the responsibility for controlling Department of Defense (DoD) intelligence resources assigned to DIA and reviewing the intelligence functions assigned the military departments in satisfying the intelligence requirements of the DoD. He retired September 15, 1969.[1]

This is written by a former RC priest, the son of Gen. Joseph Carroll. Gen Carroll happened to employ Declan Ford's brother, in the tiny post WWII Alien Property Dept.:

.....Upton Sinclair, for example, showed the rapaciousness of capitalism, the vampire-like appetite with which it feeds on the blood of human beings. Even with "reforms" ("The Jungle" led to the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration), the profit-worshipping economy to this day eludes controls that would protect majorities of citizens in this country and across the world. Sinclair Lewis, for his part, showed how the simultaneously banalizing methods of capitalist enterprise (false advertising, consumerism, pieties of affluence, amoral bureaucracy) are exactly what that enterprise created to keep from being criticized. ...

The two tortured political marriages of Richard Nixon
By BY JULES WITCOVER

....But the account also underscores that Eisenhower had early doubts about Nixon's maturity for the presidency and how in his fashion he tried to ease him off the Republican ticket in 1956. Nixon's gritty determination not to be pushed aside finally won out. Also related is the thin familial bond forged by the courtship and marriage of Ike's grandson David and Dick's younger daughter Julie that never quite solidified. Nixon later made known that in all those White House years he was never invited to the Eisenhower living quarters there.

You cited Epstein. I think his record indicates he protects the FBI and CIA. I don't disagree Oswald's "diary" is suspect.
Oswald was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Weiss of his generation. The point being Huey, Carl, JFK, Oswald, and Ruby, all "hadda go"! Carl Weiss, in his time, "was introduced" by, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Zangara .

One thing in Tommy's favor is the "muscling" of Billy Joe Lord by Henry Hurt, at the direction of Bemiss, indicates there was enough concern about what was not known about Oswald among the elite of the mid 1970s political class, that they put themselves in position to be this exposed. The Church and HSCA investigations rattled them enough for Ford to not leave it at the farce "Commission" controlled by his unelected V.P., Rockefeller. Ford took the extra precaution of appointed the visibly unqualified Bush as DCI.

The details above reinforce Tommy's theory the Soviets used Oswald to hoist the U.S. conservative political elite on their own petard, maneuvering them into covering up for the KGB taking out a U.S. President and a Soviet Premier partnering in the direction of a lasting peace.

I try to bend in the direction indicated by the evidence, like it or not.

Sorry, Tom, but you're full of beans.

Your proclivity to look for "connections" through 17 degrees of separation, or whatever, and your stubborn belief that the evil, evil, evil CIA (and the woebegone, duped-by-KGB FBI?) is the cause of most of the world's ills, tends to do that to you.

You've probably just read too much garbage by John L. Hart, Leonard V. McCoy, John L. Hart, Richards J. Heuer, Cleveland Cram, "Jumbo Duh," Jefferson Morley, David Wise, Tom Mangold, et al. ... ad nauseam.

Ever get around to actually reading "Spy Wars," Tom?

......
Prior to a particularly severe panic in 1907, there was a motivation for renewed demands for banking and currency reform.[4] The following year, Congress enacted the Aldrich-Vreeland Act which provided for an emergency currency and established the National Monetary Commission to study banking and currency reform.[5]

Fed Reserve.JPG
The chief of the bipartisan National Monetary Commission was financial expert and Senate Republican leader Nelson Aldrich. Aldrich set up two commissions – one to study the American monetary system in depth and the other, headed by Aldrich, to study the European central-banking systems and report on them.[5]

The grandson of Sen. Nelson Aldrich wrote a book. It helps to explain what we are witnessing in real-time... the second Federal Reserve bailout, (fool me once, shame on you,....) on the backs of adding to the debt burden on the shoulders of our grandchildren, to keep Trump-n-cult living in the style they are accustomed to. No "Deep State", merely the right wing control paid for by the wealthiest republican party donors......

Tom,

Should we be impressed by these strung-out gossamer "connections," not unlike the mess of strings and thumbtacks in that schizo, dreamlike scene in ... "A Beautiful Mind"?

Should we expect (or demand!) that all Americans who are strongly anti-Communist and/or anti-Fascistic-KGB-MAFIA intermarry, do business with, and rub elbows with rabble rousing Plebes like you and I?

Why do you carry-guilt-by association to such ridiculous extremes (if, indeed, it IS guilt ... hmm)?

Do you, like Lee Harvey Oswald, hanker for the day when we live in a Truly Classless Society?

LOL

Sorry, Tommy.... you jumped the gun. I amended what you've quoted to the extent my point is lost, in what you've quoted.

People dismiss what they don't understand as "Deep State", because it's weedy. It's too much of a bother to exert the concentration and expend the time to get down into the weeds, examine the detail.

I was not finished. I presented a page from the book by the grandson of the Senator, Nelson W Aldrich, credited with drafting the legislation authorizing creation of the Federal Reserve.

The grandson came to my attention because of his several friends who were C.I.A. The C.I.A. is not "Deep". It plays by Trump's script, as described by Henry Breck, godfather of the son of DCI Bush's counsel, Tony Lapham, who also allegedly never served with CIA prior to Bush "bringing him on board".

None of this is un-self-conscious. Nelson W. Aldrich Jr., the book’s overseeing editor (and part of an 8-member team that questioned 374 interviewees), treats rampant Georgeness as a fair reflection of the hagiography that surrounded Mr. Plimpton during his long career as editor, writer and bon vivant.....

Anne I. Sommers

Worked at the CIA

A memorial service for Anne Iglehart Sommers, a Baltimore native and former CIA employee, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Christ Church of Georgetown in Washington.

Mrs. Sommers died Friday at her home in Chevy Chase of lung cancer. She was 63.

In the early 1950s, she was a CIA operations officer for East Germany for two years. In May 1953, she married Frank Feldher Sommers, a CIA officer. They lived in Frankfurt, Germany; Vienna, Austria; Bern, Switzerland; and Vientiane, Laos.

Mrs. Sommers served on embassy committees and school boards in each of these cities.

From 1981 to 1991, she was an administrative assistant at the International Management and Development Institute, a non-profit group in Washington that worked with Fortune 500 companies and major corporations abroad.

Mrs. Sommers attended the Calvert and Bryn Mawr schools in Baltimore and graduated from Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

She is survived by her husband; two daughters, Wing Sommers Blake of Washington and ....

Not to be outdone, after her failed marriage to A1bert Bruce, Jackie's best friend Leigh married another CIA associate, ofParis Review:

Two of Jenner's references were mentioned by name. Tom Clark former Attorney General of the U.S. and active supporter in the Truman years of J. Edgar Hoover's anti subversion efforts, knew Jenner through their common participation on the Judiciary Committee of the American Bar Association. The other named supporter of Jenner was Dean Acheson, who had worked with Jenner on Acheson's committee on civil rights. Jenner came to the Commission then with recommendations from and past connections to one of the people involved in creating the Commission and someone who was at one time at least, close to Hoover.

Unfortunately, there is very little additional information on the selection of Counsel and organization of the Commission in the Executive Session transcripts....
