After establishing CIA was doing cultural manipulation it appears Strongman is trying to hint that these incidences were not accidents. He mentions it following a paragraph that tells how American music had turned away from rock to lighter ballads at the time. The only inference would be this was part of CIA influence seen in the arts at the time.Exiles800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19611726.post-28569851380303515662011-03-14T01:09:23.603-04:002011-03-14T01:09:23.603-04:00Right, Eisenhower.

I said Truman because I have just been reading how a month after JFK's assassination Truman wrote an editorial in the Washington Post warning that the CIA he signed into being had become something it wasn't intended to be and had assumed functions of making and enforcing policy it was never intended to. Gee, I wonder what Truman was trying to say 1 month after Kennedy's assassination?Exiles800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19611726.post-61309110685930828162011-03-13T20:04:53.728-04:002011-03-13T20:04:53.728-04:00Thanks, Exiles800.

I did not myself know about the FDR plot until reading Strongman's book (funny the stuff so many of us have never heard of). Now after a brief Google search here's all this material, including an entry by a "Steven D" on the Daily Kos, 27 February 2005: "The Real Plot to Overthrow FDR's America" . And oh yeah, there's a Wikipedia entry, search on "Business Plot". This runs deep. But hey, I think you meant Eisenhower and not Truman with the military-industrial complex...alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833097777876736321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19611726.post-31927747750974468302011-03-13T16:02:33.224-04:002011-03-13T16:02:33.224-04:00Alan,
I've recently realized the format...Alan,<br /><br /> I've recently realized the formation of the OSS and subsequent CIA was done by the same group that tried to assassinate FDR. Only they did it with the excuse of total war powers for national security embodied by the overarching authority of the war state during WWII. A wise understanding of our nation would see that we never again returned to anything close to FDR's humanitarian progressiveness post WWII and that the power that then asserted itself was recognized and cited by Truman when he pointed-out the dangers of the "Military Industrial Complex". The next president to step out of line in a way that conflicted with this FDR assassination plotter cabal was president John F Kennedy, and we all know what happened to him, how, and why...Exiles800noreply@blogger.com
