Reply #12: It also felt that way to me . . ..

However, only a very few around me thought it was a coup.
And even fewer were thinking of trying to do anything about it.
The private investigations have been terrific; we have a lot to be thankful there, especially as the whole thing opened up in the past 10 years or so.

It was obvious to me immediately that if we didn't do something then, we'd be on the road we are on now.

And -- especially after RFK was killed - couldn't believe the lack of reaction -- !!!

Still can't believe the lack of reaction . . . like to the 2000 election . . . and especially the
GOP fascist rally outside Miami-Dade Election HQs to STOP the vote count ordered by the Florida State Supreme Court -- !!!!

I had this image of us all being tough Americans -- protecting democracy . . .
and then I read about the McCarthy Era. Even very brave people -- like Humphrey Bogart -- wbo tried to speak out, finally gave up and reversed themselves. Edward R. Murrow probably did the most to break it up, but he also suffered harm to his career. Ironic, eh?


PS: You do know that the Tunnheim Panel/1992 JFK Classified Records Act concluded that
"OSWALD WAS EMPLOYED BY THE CIA WORKING ON HIGH LEVEL ASSIGNMENTS AND PROBABLY ALSO FOR THE FBI"
..... ????

Journalists had immediately asked for Oswald's work records, W-2 forms, tax filings, etal --
and they were refused. Presumably the Tunnheim Panel got to see everything.

Also, there's a John McCone -- Dir/CIA memo out which confirms that they trained Oswald to go to Russia --
