re:"All the Shah's Men" - the biggest shock to me in Kinzer's CSPAN appearance was this:
1) The British were eager to take over the oil resources of
Iran, after Iran created a democratic government.
2) Iran was a peaceful and free country with wide open press
3) The British agent wrote in his diary that knowing the
Americans wouldn't help just for British oil interests,
made up out of whole cloth the lie that Iran was in
in danger of Communist takeover
4) The intelligence chief Allan Dulles and his brother state
dept head John Foster were ecstatic over this means of
to deceive the administration and the American people, if
and when it ever came out.
5) The CIA and intel people were further amazed at how cheap
an country could be hijacked. All it took was an absence
of morals, a willingness to lie, kill any number of
innocents, and control of elements of the US provided by
the still-secret Nat'l Security Act of 1947, which both
brothers helped write.
6) Then Kinzer says the very next month started the CIA
rampage around the world with Guatamala, in conjunction
with corporate interests, thereby completing their
conversion to the actual definition of fascists, the
autocratic combination of state and corporate power.

What is more dangerous for the American people to know is that Alan Dulles came back from Germany near the end of the war extremely impressed with the way Hitler was able to hold the German people even while obviously doomed. He was excited by this, which led to Project Mockingbird, the "Mighty Wurlitzer", and probably to still-secret aspects of the Nat'l Security Act of 1947 that provide for SECRET gov't control of public opinion through the media and other methods.
Many things flow from this event, clearly leading to worldwide military belligerancy, probably to massive corruption of our domestic politics through media control and shells such as SY Moon's Wash Times, and a thousand others. Tracking the source of the $100 million Moon spends on WTimes' is one of a hundred disclosures that need to be made.
Political, military and social events since 1947 lead to the conclusion that this cancer on the most successful country in history has caused massive, harmful distortions. GDP grows towards ever-more centralized power, 30 years and tripling of GDP but no change in real average wages, decline in the nuclear family with the mind-f* being perpetrated, fabulous untraceable fortunes in the drug trade, arms trade, offshore money flows, S&L fraud, and manipulation of foreign country trade in oil.
The solution is an absolutely relentless fight for disclosure as the only way to prevent the destruction of our country. Kinzer's book is a good one. |
