In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: Lisa Pease Discussed the Real Harm of Corrupt Soft Power [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)...yet only one side gets heard: "An agent told me: 'If you don't say Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, you won't get on television,'" Lisa Pease said.
DemocraticUnderground, also, is an important part of that battleground, she said. Lots of readers from her site come from DU, she said, after we post articles. Several of the other presenters at Duquesne said the same thing to me, Octafish from DU.
Here's an important example of what Ms. Pease was talking about:
If TIME-LIFE were honest, they'd address CIA-Mafia assassination plots.
Instead, they write glowingly about a self-described "debunker" who has demonstrated loyalty to CIA. "Trust us. We're innocent. There's nothing in those documents or in this documentary record of lies and obstruction of justice."
Of course, TIME-LIFE doesn't mention the importance of CIA officer George Joannides, who was part of the CIA anti-Castro activities in New Orleans at the same time Lee Harvey Oswald came in contact with same. Nor does TIME-LIFE mention how CIA pulled Joannides out of retirement to take over CIA-Congress "liaison" duties with the the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) and how he failed to inform our Representatives of his previous ties. Nor does TIME-LIFE mention the long unclassified and the newly declassified records that show CIA lied to President Kennedy and Attorney General Kennedy after they ordered them to stop those programs that were started by CIA director Allen Dulles in the Eisenhower Administration. That was all covered at the Duquesne conference.
All that would be in TIME, if they were they honest. Instead we get John McAdams, friend of Welfare for the Wealthy and War Inc.
For those interested in learning more.
Thank you, JohnyCanuck. Ad astra per aspera...
