There Are Those Who Cannot Be Trusted...
Positions of trust were first infiltrated, then weaponized, and they want more of that?
Prescott, AZ May 27, 2024… As we remember those who gave the full measure to protect this nation on this Memorial Day, 2024, I cannot help but wonder if they are looking down from heaven upon what has become of the nation that they gave all for. I think it safe to presume they placed great trust in those around them, their superior officers, their colleagues, and those at home —elected and appointed— charged with the duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic, setting aside their own personal interests and agendas to steward the “general welfare” of the nation, like those who wore the uniform of the various services.
These dutiful men and women now rest eternally with the likes of Abraham Lincoln who wrote, "The people of these United States are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts, not to over-throw the Constitution, but to over-throw the men who pervert that Constitution." Let us remember that today as well.
History as a window to the future & Operation Mockingbird (OM)…
It is not a new thing for those in government to engage in illegal activities aimed directly at obliterating our civil rights to maintain control over power, among them the freedom of speech and a free press. There is clear and convincing evidence that the so-called “free press” is anything but, parroting the talking points put out by the anti-America First regime that has been operating for decades, and which now occupies the federal administrative apparatus. Was Joe McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee on target? You decide.
The HUAC was created in 1938…
During this time period the lines of civil liberties and national security began to blur, and U.S. citizens felt a sense of uncertainty. Some Americans felt that their personal freedoms were being taken away, while others believed HUAC and McCarthyism were necessary to secure national security. Government officials felt the same types of pressures on the home front. Were they overstepping government powers or just keeping America safe from outsiders that wanted to cause harm within the system?1
According to the compiled research of many contributors, declassified documents, show the order for warrantless wiretaps came from Director of Central Intelligence John McCone[12]who coordinated with United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Joseph Carroll.[11] The program was run by the Office of Security, headed by Sheffield Edwards, who received their orders from McCone.[7] Other Agency personnel included Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Marshall Carter, executive director-comptroller Lyman Kirkpatrick, general counsel Lawrence Houston, and McCone's executive assistant Walter Elder.[7] An internal CIA biography of McCone by CIA Chief Historian David Robarge, made public under a FOIA request, identified the two reporters as Robert S. Allen and Paul Scott.[7] Their syndicated column, "The Allen-Scott Report," appeared in as many as three hundred papers at the height of its popularity.[13]
Wait, what? Isn’t the CIA barred from domestic spying activities?
In 1975, the Rockefeller Commission's inquiry examined investigations by the CIA's Office of Security that included electronic surveillance and found two cases in which the telephones of three newsman were tapped in order to determine their sources of leaked classified information. The Commission wrote: "The CIA's investigations of newsmen to determine their sources of classified information stemmed from pressures from the White House and were partly a result of the FBI's unwillingness to undertake such investigations. The FBI refused to proceed without an advance opinion that the Justice Department would prosecute if a case were developed." They concluded: "The CIA has no authority to investigate newsmen simply because they have published leaked classified information."[14][15][16][b]
In 2009, Daniel L. Pines, the Assistant General Counsel of the Office of General Counsel within the CIA, wrote a law review published in the Indiana Law Journal challenging the assertion that most of the activities described within the Family Jewels were illegal.[18] Pines wrote that the CIA was permitted to engage in warrantless electronic surveillance within the United States with the Attorney General's approval if the purpose was to collect foreign intelligence, but concluded that Project Mockingbird was likely not legal because the apparent purpose of the surveillance was to determine the source of leaks rather than to obtain foreign intelligence.[19] Pines noted that the Rockefeller Commission agreed with this conclusion.[19] 2
What does OM have to do with today’s Press?
Over time the Press has become co-opted as a government cutout. There was a day when the Press acted as the government watchdog, but today it is clearly the government lapdog. Consider this, do you think those who have died in the line of duty ever thought of anything other than America First? So it is not illogical to think that they supported the agenda of Making America First Again. Yet, today the so-called MAGA movement, like the TEA Party movement of the Reagan/Bush era, is vilified for their desire to make America first again, and their choice of the guy to lead them i that direction.
In classic Joseph Goebbels style (NAZI Propaganda Chief) select groups were targeted for vilification, dehumanization, and then murder at the hands of the state. Saul Alinsky in his book “Rules for Radicals” had nothing new, he just published a textbook on how to get it done.
Lt.C. (Ret.) U.S. Army Green Baret Ivan Raiklin, a soldier and attorney, has labeled today’s Press, specifically, the national media networks (print and broadcast) as a massive CIA thought control operation (TCOp).
