On The Trail Of Delusion

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Who are these non-Americans who are in control? And in control of what? America?

This is the conspiracy "history" that we have to deal with. Things like JFK was going to end the Cold War or dismantle the "national security state" or pull out of Vietnam.

And these secret "non-Americans" silenced him to prevent that. See, there's really a cabal that is controlling things.

We can talk about the Z film or the autopsy or a dozen and one other things about the assassination but that won't work. That is because we are trying to reason with people who think this all powerful cabal really runs things. And they can literally do anything.

You can't reason with this worldview.

Researcher Paul Bleau has mentioned some of the consequences caused by the assassination of President Kennedy, quote: “The JFK assassination was arguably the most important one in the last century. We are still feeling the aftershocks, quite intensely actually. The pillars of U.S. democracy cracked at the seams in 1963. An elected and popular president was taken out, for the benefit of so few. A masquerade of law and order was put in place by the benefactors. The fourth estate shamed itself by choosing the side of the winners. Historians brainwashed decades of young students by parroting the Warren Commission fairytale. In power behind the scenes and emboldened, the perpetrators were pulling the strings on a number of political assassinations that followed, unholy drug and arms deals, political dirty tricks, coups and wars, Wall Street money games, and other major scandals that came in waves and went unpunished. You know something is wrong when the people responsible for millions of deaths in Vietnam alone, trillions of dollars in damages and inequalities in the world’s most powerful country are living the life of Riley, while at the same time four white cops took George Floyd’s life because of a fake 20 dollar bill.” - End quote.

That may have been the noble intent of the founders....   But has it ever been practiced in the era of electronic manipulation of the people?   In the day when citizens read and assimilated the information being presented by news papers,  the people had a chance to become informed.....  but in this era of instant "news" a staged event can easily deceive the viewer.   

Just as a few agents provocateurs accomplished in Washington .......   

I believe the citizens of US are more deeply divided  now then at the end of the civil war..... and our nation is in serious trouble.

If you believe that the Soviets and Mao and Castro and North Vietnam all wanted to "make peace" with the US but it was the evil militarists in the US that prevented this then I think you are completely wrong. It's been more than 25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We know what they wanted to do. And it wasn't to make peace with the West.

This is the Garrisonite view. All of the Cold War was caused by the US; the communists were completely innocent in causing the conflict.

History shows that Mr. Garrison was completely wrong. And there is no evidence whatsoever that JFK was going to dramatically change American foreign policy. He was not fooled by the Soviets the way Henry Wallace was. But even Wallace later admitted that the communists couldn't be trusted. He realized later the danger they posed.

JFK wasn't an idiot. He was an anti-communist. He wanted to try and minimize the threat of a war with Moscow. But he wasn't a fool; he knew the intentions of the communists. As he was going to say the day he was assassinated:

"We in this country, in this generation, are – by destiny rather than choice – the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of "peace on earth, good will toward men." That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: "except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."

The US was the watchman for freedom. A freedom that was threatened by communism. That's what JFK said and what he thought. And all of this nonsense from Garrison is just that: nonsense.

Henry Wallace, in 1952, said this (from his essay "Where I Was Wrong"):

"Before 1949 I thought Russia really wanted and needed peace. After 1949 I became more and more disgusted with the Soviet methods and finally became convinced that the Politburo wanted the Cold War continued indefinitely, even at the peril of accidentally provoking a hot war."

Further: "Russia may not want a hot war in the next ten years, but she certainly wants such a continuation of the Cold War as will enable her, through her satellites and internally-planted subversives, to take over the greatest amount of territory possible. Russia is still on the march, and the question now is whether she will be able to take over all of Asia, including India and the Near East."

That's the real Henry Wallace, not the self-admitted mistaken person who previously "thought" shortly after that war that Russia was still our ally and wanted peace. They didn't. He came to realize that (he called the Soviet Union "utterly evil") as he admits above.

JFK may have wanted peace; he certainly didn't want, as he showed in the missile crisis, a direct conflict with the Soviet Union, a conflict that could lead to nuclear catastrophe. His problem, and ours, was that he didn't have the only vote on the matter.

By the way, one of the advisers to Wallace - in fact, his chief counsel - when he ran for president in 1948 was one John Abt. Yes, the same John Abt who was a lifelong member of the Communist Party (although he denied it for decades) and who was a member of the Soviet spy cell the "Ware group". And the man that Oswald wanted as his attorney.

Are you aware that Lee Oswald was presenting a false image when he portrayed himself as a "communist"... And since that is a fact , then don't you think that he would logically request that Abt represent him in court?   

The question is WHEN did Abt admit that he was a "life long member of the communist party" ??     Did Lee Oswald know that Abt was a member of the communist party?   

But the real question is:    WHO told Lee to request that Abt to be his attorney??
