Kennedy’s assassination demonstrated the power of and consolidated the national security state. From Jacob G. Hornberger at fff.org:
Someone might reasonably ask, “What difference does the JFK assassination make to those of us living today? The assassination took place more than 60 years ago. Everyone involved in it is now dead. Why not just forget it and move on?’
Those are reasonable questions, especially when they come from young people. Why should they care about who killed Kennedy?
The reason lies in the governmental structure under which all of us have been born and raised — a national-security state form of governmental structure. As I have long maintained, the worst mistake the American people have ever made was to permit the federal government to be converted to a national-security state.
Our founding governmental system was a limited-government republic. Its powers were strictly limited by the Constitution and even more expressly restricted by the Bill of Rights. That governing structure worked very well for more than 150 years.
After World War II, the U.S. government was converted into a national-security state, which is a totally different type of governmental structure. The national-security branch of the government — i.e., the Pentagon, the vast military-industrial complex, the army of “defense” contractors, the CIA, and the NSA — wield omnipotent, totalitarian-like powers, including the power of assassination. There is no such thing as “limited government” under a national-security state.
The original plotters in the coop. (wink)
Isn’t the plan for SicherheitsDienst (SD) security force to be loyal to the state and whoever is posing as Dear Leader at the time?
Rheinhard Heydrich (SD fuhrer) the most feared Nazi dubbed “the young blonde evil god of death” had has safe raided by Himmler even before being underground with dossiers on everyone of note in there.
Kind of like the Frankfurters repaying hospitality by burning it all down with cultural Marxism.
Bunch of GD ingrates as pappy would say.
