Really interesting thread Sam....cudo's.

Thanks vet for your posts...again..really interesting.

Allen Dulles is a shadowy fellow...intrigues within intrigues...onward to the assassination of President Kennnedy.

I agree. There was some really wierd stuff in the inquisition/investigation.

Definitely shadowy..and sure didn't shed a pretty light on Kennedy.

Talk about out of the loop. Makes you wonder what his meds were that week.

Cute little inuendo at the bottom about the Bush's too.

Sheesh.. when they look bad.. they just gotta pull others down with em'.

The whole thing was a HUGE mess. Gives me chills to this day when I read it. Whew!!!

Nite, Vets

I am convinced that Kennedy organized the Bay of Pigs operation with the intention that it would fail exactly as it did. In much the same way, he had Diem assassinated to ensure the collapse of the Republic of Viet Nam.

I studied the Bay of Pigs pretty hard, then the Diem assassination somewhat less. There is also Kennedy's exposure of Oleg Penkovsky, and his promise to the Soviets to leave Cuba alone forever. I started to see it couldn't all be misfeaseance. I was seeing malfeaseance.

I wouldn't characterize my ideas as a "theory", but old Joe followed the Moscow line quite closely until the invasion of the Soviet Union. If this point of view reflects the truth then it is unreasonable to expect any documentation survives.

Thanks, I was curious as to what led you to believe Kennedy wanted the invasion to fail.

Old Joe was also a Nazi backer until the war broke out.

The Moscow Party Line before the German invasion - July 20, 1941, as I remember - totally supported the Germans and said that the British were doomed. With the invasion this Line changed almost overnight. Those Americans whose views change from pro-axis to "anti-fascist" after 7/20 were following the Moscow Line. Old Joe was one of them.

There is an old GRU man who writes as "Suvorov" that tells a story that confirms my opinion about Kennedy. There was a huge agent in the US whose identity was totally secret and who was at the center of the US government. Look at the forced retirement of James Jesus Angleton. There is a lot more. Not legal proof, but a huge red flag from a counter-intelligence point of view.

You got that right. The Pro-Nazi's in Americas were that way as laon as Berlin and Moscow were Allied. As soon as the Germans invaaaaded Russia their tune changed.

They used the Pro-Nazi stnace to cover for their Communist beleifs.
