America’s Second Coup D'état

Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. / Family Security Matters

In response to those who criticized the conclusions of the “The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy,” Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren wrote the following in his memoirs (p. 367):

“Practically all the Cabinet members of President Kennedy’s administration, along with Director J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI and Chief James Rowley of the Secret Service, whose duty it was to protect the life of the President, testified that to their knowledge there was no sign of any conspiracy. To say now that these people, as well as the Commission, suppressed, neglected to unearth, or overlooked evidence of a conspiracy would be an indictment of the entire government of the United States. It would mean the whole structure was absolutely corrupt from top to bottom, with not one person of high or low rank willing to come forward to expose the villainy…”

Contrary to Warren’s protestations, the government of the United States was corrupt then and remains corrupt now, because it was unwilling to expose “villainy” and is still reluctant to do so; not to guard national security or protect the American people, but to maintain the power of a privileged ruling class.

Authority is the trump card used by the powerful to suppress truth and eliminate opposition. It is an effective tactic whenever a government becomes separate from and unaccountable to the people. Citizens, who question authority in their search for truth, are deemed deranged because of their weakness and, as Earl Warren’s quote implies, government is presumed correct because of its power.

As New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison noted, the assassination of President Kennedy demonstrated that many people will believe the most unlikely inventions rather than confront the fact that their government is lying to them. Kennedy’s assassination and the subsequent concealment of the facts also proved that there is virtually nothing government officials and journalists will not do to protect those lies once it becomes clear that their deeds have governmental sanction.
