All modern wars since WWII have been fought for resources and power – certainly not to bring democracy or peace to anyone. America keeps the world in a constant state of chaos thanks to the murderous psychopaths in the CIA, and this policy creates massive profits for the true rulers of the planet: Lockheed Martin, […]
The Devil’s Chessboard by David Talbot connects a few more dots in the JFK assassination story. It’s ostensibly a biography of Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA under Eisenhower and Kennedy, but Talbot’s book examines how Dulles’ criminal acts helped to create the Orwellian national security state we currently inhabit. “Mind control experimentation, torture, […]
In May 2015 Judicial Watch obtained a huge cache of declassified documents from the US government through a FOIA lawsuit. The watchdog organization published more than 100 pages of confidential reports from the Department of Defense and the State Department earlier this year.
