Octafish's JournalJoseph Adams Milteer
A rabid right-wing racist who was tape-recorded by FBI detailing the assassination of JFK "with a high-powered rifle from a high-rise office building," then a couple of weeks later appears in photographs in Dealey Plaza should make the front page and lead every broadcast, but it doesn't, for some reason.
Don Adams of the FBI deserves to be seen and heard by billions.
Guy is the real deal, a brave agent who stepped forward. Among his assassination-connected work, FBI Special Agent Don Adams interviewed racist Joseph Adams Milteer, a guy an FBI informant had taped detailing a pre-Dallas plot in Miami.
He wrote a book on the experience:

Alex Carey: Corporations and Propaganda
The Attack on Democracy
The 20th century, said Carey, is marked by three historic developments: the growth of democracy via the expansion of the franchise, the growth of corporations, and the growth of propaganda to protect corporations from democracy. Carey wrote that the people of the US have been subjected to an unparalleled, expensive, 3/4 century long propaganda effort designed to expand corporate rights by undermining democracy and destroying the unions. And, in his manuscript, unpublished during his life time, he described that history, going back to World War I and ending with the Reagan era. Carey covers the little known role of the US Chamber of Commerce in the McCarthy witch hunts of post WWII and shows how the continued campaign against "Big Government" plays an important role in bringing Reagan to power.
John Pilger called Carey "a second Orwell", Noam Chomsky dedicated his book, Manufacturing Consent, to him. And even though TUC Radio runs our documentary based on Carey's manuscript at least every two years and draws a huge response each time, Alex Carey is still unknown.
Given today's spotlight on corporations that may change. It is not only the Occupy movement that inspired me to present this program again at this time. By an amazing historic coincidence Bill Moyers and Charlie Cray of Greenpeace have just added the missing chapter to Carey's analysis. Carey's manuscript ends in 1988 when he committed suicide. Moyers and Cray begin with 1971 and bring the corporate propaganda project up to date.
This is a fairly complex production with many voices, historic sound clips, and source material. The program has been used by writers and students of history and propaganda. Alex Carey: Taking the Risk out of Democracy, Corporate Propaganda VS Freedom and Liberty with a foreword by Noam Chomsky was published by the University of Illinois Press in 1995.

The audio is a must-listen. While the names aren't changed to protect the guilty, the message and how it relates to our current pickle shows who and what counts.

Helps explain how Democracy devolved into its current condition and what we need to do to move forward, starting with putting the "Public" into Airwaves again.
'Upstanding American' is now defined in secret.
I bet people who help Sen. Feinstein's husband make money off war are "upstanding" and people who bring that up in public are not.
When the commie USSR croaked, we were promised a 'Peace Dividend.'
The Cold War ended and the warmongers cried in their martinis, Shirley Temples and near-beers. For a day or two, Corporate McPravda actually covered the obvious. Then, there was this terrorism thing.

George Bush Takes Charge: The Uses of "Counter-Terrorism"
By Christopher Simpson
Covert Action Quarterly 58
A paper trail of declassified documents from the Reagan‑Bush era yields valuable information on how counter‑terrorism provided a powerful mechanism for solidifying Bush's power base and launching a broad range of national security initiatives.
During the Reagan years, George Bush used "crisis management" and "counter‑terrorism" as vehicles for running key parts of the clandestine side of the US government.
Bush proved especially adept at plausible denial. Some measure of his skill in avoiding responsibility can be taken from the fact that even after the Iran‑Contra affair blew the Reagan administration apart, Bush went on to become the "foreign policy president," while CIA Director William Casey, by then conveniently dead, took most of the blame for a number of covert foreign policy debacles that Bush had set in motion.
The trail of National Security Decision Directives (NSDDS) left by the Reagan administration begins to tell the story. True, much remains classified, and still more was never committed to paper in the first place. Even so, the main picture is clear: As vice president, George Bush was at the center of secret wars, political murders, and America's convoluted oil politics in the Middle East.
SNIP...
Reagan and the NSC also used NSDDs to settle conflicts among security agencies over bureaucratic turf and lines of command. It is through that prism that we see the first glimmers of Vice President Bush's role in clandestine operations during the 1980s.

Gangster times would be a picnic compared to what these days represent.
Thank you infinitely for putting it into words, kenny blankenship. Every word you wrote, the Truth.
They are experts. Remember John J. Kokal? Gus Weiss? Paul Sanford?
They opposed the illegal war on Iraq in office and in public. What happened to them was not very nice. "Suicides."
How about Mark Lombardi? Or James Hatfield?
They merely used their art to tell the story of Bush and bin Laden before 9/11. "Suicides."
Here's one many missed, back when Pruneface occupied the Oval Office, Robert B. Boettcher:
Know your BFEE: 1984 Death of Outstanding Congressional Staffer Buried Poppy-Moon Relationship
No smoking gun, but the professionals don't leave one lying around.
Which brings up the central question: ''When did murder become an approved national policy?''
As you noted, Catherina, I remember when the Church Committee (the last time Congress really put the secret government to task) announced the CIA-Mafia plots to assassinate Castro became public, the nation's press became quite concerned. Congress held more hearings. Appointed President and Warren Commission fraud artiste Ford came appointed Vice President Rockefeller to look into it and put Poppy into CIA to put the kobosh on exposing any more family jewels.
Back then, those who gave a damn, generally, went ballistic. The missing outrage demonstrates the alienated, media-warped, drug-sotted, depraved nature of the times we find ourselves in.
You do realize Bush and Cheney outted a CIA super-spy and her network to warn political opponents?
In the process, they exposed the United States program to fight the spread of nuclear weapons and materials; as well as put untold agents and their contacts around the world in harm's way. What else Bush and Cheney are capable of doing, including their official lies to make war on an innocent nation, should be open for consideration. For details, GOOGLE "Valerie Plame" and "Brewster Jennings and Associates."Alex Carey

Thank you for the excellent observation, leveymg. I stand corrected re COINTELPRO.
My intention was precisely that -- demonstrate that members of the national security state have committed murder and who knows what else to maintain power, COINTELPRO run by FBI just being one instrument. Other programs, as you know, include CIA's CHAOS, developed after the Domestic Operations Division was formed in 1964, contrary to the agency's charter.
I truly appreciate you setting things straight for the record, my Friend. Author Seth Rosenfeld provides something most relevant about our favorite managed democracy that seems to have dropped from consciousness:
