Reply #8: President Harry Truman wrote and published in Wash Post dec 21, 1963 after Kennedy murdered:

" For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from it's original assignment.It has become an operational and at times a policy -making arm of the government...I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak- and - dagger operations. Some of the complications and embarrassment that I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been so removed from it's intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue and a subject for cold war enemy propaganda."

" truman was disturbed by the events of the past ninety days , those ominous days of October, November, and december 1963. Men all over the world were disturbed by those events. Few men could have judged them with more wisdom than Harry S. Truman, for it was he who < in Late 1947 , had signed unto law the national Security Act. This Act, in addition to establishing the Department of Defense with a single Secretary at its head and with three equal and independent services- the Army, Navy and Air Force- also provided for a National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency."

THE CIA AND ITS ALLIES IN CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD

I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT COL WILKERSON IS DISCUSSING AS WELL..AND ALLEN DULLES........

AGAIN FROM "The Secret Team" By L. FLETCHER PROUTY

Eisenhower..and how he was fucked over by the CIA and Allen Dulles and the CIA and how he had to take responsibility when he was fucked over by the CIA and the shadow government or the Secret team..page 35:

" When President Eisenhower accepted the responsibility for the U-2 flights over the Soviet Union, no one would have questioned that he did this for correct and honorable reasons.National Aeronautics and Space Administrator (NASA) Keith Glenman had already made a public statement that the U-2 was operating out of Turkey as a NASA high-altitude, flight -research aircraft and had strayed over Russian territory inadvertently in high winds. Then Nikita Khrushchev produced the wreckage of the U-2 deep in Russia near Sverdlovsk, it made a mockery of the NASAcover story, and when he produced the pilot alive and well, it demolished the rest of the plausible disclaimer. The CIA was caught without a plausible cover story, and the President had to choose.He could either discredit Allen Dulles and the CIA for operating that clandestine flight and a long series of flights without his knowledge, or he could, as Eisenhower did stand up and take the blame himself on the basis that he knew of and had ordered the flights and was in complete control of everything done in the foriegn arena by this Government. The latter choice would mean that the President of the United States is Commander in Chief during peacetime clandestine operations as he is in time of war. This is a totally new doctrine born of the vicissitudes of the Cold War."

"many have considered this a very noble stand on the part of President Eisenhower, and it was. However, this public admission by the Chief of State that he directed clandestine operations within another state is exactly the type of thing that reduces the prestige and credibility of the United States in the family of nations to the condition described by Arnold Toynbee. Interference in the internal affairs of one nation by another is an unpardonable violation of International law and custom."
