When Will We Ever Know the Truth?
August 3, 2019
We will not ever know the truth about a host of matters (assassinations, revolutions, terror attacks, changes in government) unless one condition is fulfilled, which is that the CIA and its files be locked down before they can be destroyed, and then they are opened for all to see. The same goes for a host of other agencies.
As matters stand, the CIA has a huge secret budget that enables all sorts of possible activities that add up to a secret government. The CIA has its own enforcers, hit squads and assassins that can enforce silence. It has blackmail material aplenty. It has controlled major media. All this adds up to a secret power with plenty of scope to act. It also means that it has the power and means to fabricate narratives and mislead everyone.
We know that the CIA has hatched all sorts of bizarre schemes. It can recruit all sorts of people. Without opening the files, we simply cannot know the details of who has done what and why. We do not know how thick the muck is. Draining the swamp means exposing the files. Sometimes people with access to the information make some waves, but without documentation and government bearing down, we do not get the whole story.
The current Russia collusion fabrication involved another one of our secret powers within government, namely, the FBI. Many of the same kinds of statements hold for it, and we will not know the truth until its files are opened too. The entire Russian collusion attack on Trump smells like a CIA operation from A to Z, one that used its own operatives, people in the FBI, in State, in the White House, and in foreign agencies to propel it.
The best course of action would be what JFK wanted for the CIA, which is to break these agencies up into small pieces, some of which can be abolished altogether. Trump has to move in small steps even to approach a serious effort to drain this swamp; and he has to zigzag and retreat at times. Trump’s latest retreat is not being able to get enough votes in Congress to place John Ratcliffe in the position of Director of National Intelligence. Nevertheless, Trump was able to say in public “We need somebody strong that can really rein it in, because as I think you’ve all learned, the intelligence agencies have run amok.”
Our government is divided, which is good. The powers are divided, which is good. This introduces degrees of independence and competition for power. But it also obscures responsibility and prevents proper control. The intelligence bureaucracies thrive in this system. They resist change and control. They find sponsors in Congress who counter critics. They can make or break some politicians, which is what they’ve been attempting to do with Trump. What JFK wanted hasn’t happened, and here we are 55 years later.
