Put on your tinfoil hat...

:tinfoilhat:

Many folks believe that George Bush Sr. has been running the CIA for many years. In fact, the CIA Building is named after him. Even during Democratic Administrations, he was still controlling the intelligence. Some even believe he was in Dallas on the day that JFK was assassinated. Some say he was involved with the Bay of Pigs operation. But Bush Sr is getting old. Someday soon, someone else will have to replace him?

Enter George Jr. He has re-created the Intelligence operations in his own image. He still has all the old Iran-Contra criminals on payroll - some of them in very high positions. It is my opinion that George Jr plans on maintaining control of the intelligence agencies after the next election. They will go behind the scenes while the Democrat is in power and plan for the next Republican Presidency. They have created an institution that is outside Congressional oversight or control by anyone. This is the Bush plan to maintain control, in my opinion.

Call it conspiracy thinking if you like? But power does not surrender voluntarily. When someone tries to change it, they are done away with. Think RFK and JFK. So you think it is absurd? This tinfoil hat is very tight on my aching brain...

1. Great - that will be the end of the C.I.A.

4. The CIA is no longer the big dog on the block...

Remember? Bush created a new NIC office. So he can demand "loyalty" from them all.

6. I was referring to his bumbling incompetence

8. The CIA has been bumbling for decades...

That does not keep them from robbing us blind and killing innocents in our name. It does not require competence. It requires secrecy and loyalty.

2. Historians will have lots of fun when we finally

are allowed to see behind the curtain.

And if you want to share the hat, I don't expect elections to occur

3. I am not a conspiracy nut -- I am a coincidence nut

The Bay of Pigs was funded by the same trust that funds Skull and Bones.

The operation was code-named Operation Zapata -- the name of Poppy Bush's oil company at the time.

The two ships the invaders used were named The Houston, where the Bushes lived at the time, and (drum roll please) The Barbara.

Can you imagine the coincidences there. Just amazing. All coincidences.

5. I agree with you re Bush Sr.

I also think he has been exerting his influence over the CIA long after ha officially left, but I do not think Jr. could be his heir apparent. Junior just doesn't have the gravitas to pull it off. I am one who doesn't believe that Junior has been much more than a figurehead in his own administration, and I see no reason to believe he will command more respect once he leaves.

7. I think he has the perfect persona...

to play the figurehead. I think he is a very manipulative and conniving person, even when he is only a "figurehead"..
