Reply #99: This is highly interesting re PAYOFFS TO Republicans & Dems . . .

[defendandprotect]

which are financed by the CIA/elites thru the Howard Hughes Corp -- and Republicans and Democrats alike had received similar payoffs.

We can see the reluctance here for Democrats to begin to unmask that duplicity --
did they even know? They were being betrayed from within . . . as in "what's new?" ---

This is post the coup on JFK ---

a directive from the CIA to Hughes dated September 2, 1968, containing a list of American politicians the CIA wanted funded through the Hughes corporation. Among the names Strom Thurmond, Wallace Bennett, Paul Laxalt, James Eastland, and many others, was the name Gerald R. Ford.
The CIA wanted Hughes to give money to Ford’s campaign. (Source: “Hughes, Nixon, and the CIA: The Watergate Conspiracy Woodward and Bernstein Missed,” by Larry DuBois and Laurence Gonzales, Playboy, September, 1976.) Was the agency rewarding Ford for his service on the Warren Commission?

And so when we talk about liberal Democrats having been targeted by the CIA, for one --
Frank Church being a prominent member of Congress who was trying to uncover the crimes of the CIA . .

and about election steals with computers coming in during the mid-1960's --

We also have to understand how right-wing Democrats/Repugs were kept in place with CIA money.

In other words, Nixon wasn't the only one being given a slush fund by Prescott Bush and his GOP gang --- other right-wing Dems/Repugs were also being paid to play their game.

Btw, there was a loan to Nixon's brother --- Donald -- of something like $200,000 from Hughes --
and I believe that Larry O'Brien, among many others, knew about that.



Also --
re Hughes Corp --- I think that later is part of The Octopus which Danny Cassalaro seems to
have died investigating ---

PS: Of course, the JFK assassination was kinda like an Agatha Christie crime -- multiple murderers ---a murdering jury of 12 in "Murder On The Orient Express" --- I think that was the one?
It's been a long time since I've read Christie.

Presumably that idea would have appealed to E. Howard Hunt ---
and certainly NIXON, himself, was involved -- LBJ; couldn't have been done without a future sitting president --- BUSH, Sr./CIA -- and of course, Hoover wanted RFK dead ---!!! Hoover was guaranteeing a cover up by having all the files turned over to the FBI.

Angleton, of course --
Allen Dulles at the top of the lists ---
