Another General Fired. How Close America Came to a Military Coup During the Cuban Crisis. How Close Are We Now?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



USAF Major General Michael Carey ‘fired for misbehaving in Russia’ 

 

The “Kennedy Cult” is an unprecedented historic phenomenon.

The fact that he was murdered will not go away… today more and more information reveals that there was no need for a “Conspiracy Theory” because, as we see in retrospect, the US Military-Industrial Establishment (The War Machine) collectively heaved a huge sigh of relief when he was killed.

Seven Days in May is a political thriller by journalist Fletcher Knebel. Having read it in the summer of 1962, Kennedy told friends that he found the scenario realistic. “It’s possible. It could happen in this country,” he said, “if, for example, the country had a young President, and he had a ‘Bay of Pigs’,” followed by one or two more such clashes with the military. Interested in getting its prophetic message across, Kennedy encouraged movie director John Frankenheimer to adapt the novel and offered him access to the White House for filming.

The film’s release was delayed till February 1964 because of the President’s death.

[But while] there is no more hope to ever see a righteous Kennedy emerge and challenge the U.S. war machine, the legacy lives on… and President John F. Kennedy remains a heroic, almost Christ-like figure, in the heart of a growing community of citizens who have become aware of the disastrous longtime effect of his assassination. He is perhaps the only hero whose public cult could ever redeem the United States.

  [At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis] Khrushchev [told] his Foreign Affairs Minister Andri Gromyko, “We have to let Kennedy know that we want to help him… Yes, help. We now have a common cause, to save the world from those pushing us toward war.” Kennedy and Khrushchev would emerge from the crisis with a secret agreement in which Kennedy promised not to invade Cuba and to dismantle the American missiles in Turkey, in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles in Cuba.

Kennedy had thus deprived the Joint Chiefs a historic opportunity to engage with communist powers.

In avoiding disaster the two Heads of State were brought closer; Khrushchev sent Kennedy a private letter in which he expressed his hope that, in the eight years of Kennedy’s presidency,“[they] could create good conditions for peaceful coexistence on earth and this would be highly appreciated by the peoples of [their] countries as well as by all other peoples…

This was the second letter of their back-channel correspondence, which would include a total of twenty-one. The first had been written by Khrushchev during the Berlin Crisis, September 29, 1961: wrapped in newspaper and discreetly handed to Kennedy’s Press Secretary Pierre Salinger by Georgi Bolshakov, a KGB agent loyal to Khrushchev and operating under the cover of a press editor. Kennedy responded positively to Khrushchev’s proposal to bypass their respective bureaucracies “for a personal, informal but meaningful exchange of views,” that “must be kept wholly private, not be hinted at in public statements, much less disclosed to the press.”

Through such secret dialogues, the two men worked cooperatively to avoid catastrophe. “One of the ironic things about this entire situation,” Kennedy commented to journalist Norman Cousins, “is that Mr. Khrushchev and I occupy approximately the same political positions inside our governments. He would like to prevent a nuclear war but is under severe pressure from his hard-line crowd, which interprets every move in that direction as appeasement. I’ve got similar problems.”

  The meme of America falling to communism “without a struggle”seems to have started in the United States in 1954. It then goes through a progression, a kind of evolution, over the next 60 years. As is gets paraphrased and republished, it merges with other unauthenticated quotes to spawn new hybrid quotes that mutate into what we have today; a smorgasbord of quotes that purportedly came from Lenin, Khrushchev, both Lenin and Khrushchev, or some entirely different communist leader.

  The only encounter between Kennedy and Khrushchev, in Vienna two months after the Bay of Pigs failed invasion, was ice-cold. But Khrushchev changed his opinion on Kennedy after the happy ending of the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was despondent after the news of Kennedy’s death. He would himself be overthrown by a bloodless coup in September 1964 and placed under house arrest until his death in 1971.

  It should be remembered that Nikita Khrushchev was not only Stalin’s successor, but also the architect of the “de-Stalinization” taking place in the USSR. His denunciation of Stalin’s crimes to the Communist Party Congress in 1956 brought a breath of hope to the West when published by the New York Times, and his policy of détente had begun to loosen the grip of repression in the satellite countries.

Given their secret correspondence, there is little doubt that if Kennedy had lived and had been re-elected in 1964, he and Khrushchev would have normalized relations between their governments and put an end to the Cold War in the 1960s.

Kennedy’s friend Bill Walton remembers that on November 19th 1963, after signing the first treaty limiting nuclear testing, Kennedy told him that, “he intended to be the first U.S. President to visit the Kremlin, as soon as he and Khrushchev reached another arms control agreement.”

Kennedy was killed three days later. His successor Johnson never responded to Khrushchev’s repeated pleas for exchange.

In the wake of his hopeful communication with Khrushchev, in 1963 Kennedy tried to establish dialogue with Fidel Castro.

The CIA, however, worked to sabotage his efforts. At the end of 1960, Deputy Director of Plans Richard Bissell had contacted Mafia bosses in order to place a $150,000 contract on Castro’s head. Richard Helms, who succeeded Bissel after the 1961 purge, pursued this arrangement without informing the new CIA Director appointed by Kennedy, John McCone.

The President, of course, was also kept in the dark, on the grounds, as Helms would admit before the Church Committee, that “Nobody wants to embarrass a president of the United States by discussing the assassination of foreign leaders in his presence.” 

Is this the speech that cost JFK his life?

      This administration has completely routed the Constitution of America, all without complaint or action by our so called military. They have reduced benefits of our so called military, all without any action, they have relieved of command many of the highest and brightest leaders of our so called military without any intervention from our military, which by the way, were sworn to defend the very Constitution that has been completely routed by this Administration, and you want us to feel sorry for our military that continues to do nothing to stop it? :lol: :lol: :lol:

        Next time you see one of our brave soldiers or sailors, take the time to thank them for not supporting and defending the Constitution of America. Thank them for not intervening to stop an illegal president with a 100% forged Birth Certificate, a 100% forged Selective Service card and who continues to write illegal and unconstitutional Executive Orders that bypass Congress.

        “We called up the folks in Hawaii…I knew I was born there, I remembered it” – BHO :lol: :lol: :lol:

        “Let’s ask them for a special dispensation where they will go ahead and provide us with the original to see if we can put this to rest…” – BHO :lol: :lol: :lol:

        And Mike Zullo of the Cold Case Posse after and extensive 23 month investigation that the birth certificate presented by the White House (Barack Obama) not only was a complete forgery, but never even existed as a document.

        And last but not least, there is this amazing video from Hollywood Reporter Mike Evans who told three radio stations that he spoke with Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie and Abercrombie told him there is no Hawaii birth certificate in Hawaii. – 1/27/2011 –
