I often skim contributions when I can during the week, and then on the weekends try to get into things more seriously.I appreciate your methodologies, approach, and style.Best Regards, Always.Respectfully,Bruce Patrick Brychek.I second that nomination. But everyone in this forum has chipped in. Bruce being back has made the evolution complete. This forum is SO good right now that it's scary. Scary for the people that are hiding the truth that is.

I was digging around on Millis and found this piece by Fletcher Prouty riveting. http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/introAB.txtSome of you no doubt have seen it. The home page has some very interesting headers on stuff we are all too familiar with.http://old.disinfo.com/archive/pages/do ... /pg1/Check it out if you have time.

Has anyone read the above links and if so I would like to hear some feedback. It explains a lot to me. I know this happens (obviously) but never seen it spelled out in such detail.

I would say that those earlier histories about the origins of the CIA are invaluable.But newer histories draw on declassified documents. I've found Bamford's "Body of Secrets" and Tim Weiner's "Legacy of Ashes" most illuminating.

Prouty, Bamford, beyond

I read the Prouty articles. Gore Vidal liked Hunt for the Diem cables in the former's 1973 The Art and Arts of Howard Hunt.I've seen Cabot Lodge as a major instigator of the Diem downfall and murder.I read James Bamford's Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency and found it necessary to cut it into four pieces for handling (800 pages).I see Hayden was moved from NSA to CIA as DCI between Goss and Panetta point man on the Long Beach COSCO deal. Just as Berger was point man for China at Hogan & Hartson. NSA now to build million-square-foot operation in Utah. Nothing to see here.Enemy of the State 1998 Gene Hackman Will Smith Jon Voight a dramatic interpretation of the links from this thread alluding to CIA acquisition of sheep-dip credentials.Secret Service on the Grassy Knoll, elsewhere as needed.James Files mentions the man next to him who flashed credentials to stop the patrolman's further advance.Richard Gilbride's The Elevator Escape Theory placing CIA veteran William Shelley as the TSBD's distribution manager assisting in the escape of two riflemen. http://reopenkennedycase.weebly.com/gilbride.html

Perhaps the OSS took their basic fundamental running play right out of Mein Kampf...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_LieAnd perhaps nowadays the Homeland Security playbook reads like that of a Super Bowl team.
