(33,688 posts)Oh, that's right, she was executed for something she did not do. The FBI tried to frame MLK and virtually every other civil rights leader during the 1960s. They infiltrated and disrupted countless anti-war groups in the same period. They spied on peace groups all through the 1980s and they spy on Occupy today.
The CIA's record of madness, beginning with the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953, is an open book for anyone who seeks to read it. Assassination attempts directed at Castro ringin' any bells? The CIA participated in the overthrow of Patrice Lumumba, directly brought about the overthrow and assassination of Salvador Allende, an operation overseen by Hillary's good buddy Henry Kissinger, backed Reagan's wars in Central America and helped get the Taliban off the ground when they were just scattered mujahadin.
Anyone who thinks the CIA could not be and is not behind the Assange business up to its elbows is fooling only themself. That is what history teaches.
