Chapter 1
Overview and the the 1976 Election
The taking of America has been both a simple and a very
complex process. It has not been the result of a coup d'etat,
although some aspects of the process resemble a coup. It has not
been a process similar to the dictatorship takeovers in Germany,
Italy and other fascist regimes. It has not been a process like
the Communist "uprisings" in Russia, Hungary and other Eastern
European countries.
The taking of America has been a process unique in the
history of the world. The one feature that makes it unique is
that what was once the greatest democracy in the world has been
taken over by a power control group without the knowledge of most
of the American people, their congressional representatives, or
the rest of the world.
The group has taken America in this fashion because
manipulation of the American presidency and the presidential
electoral procedure is enough to control America.
Two fiendishly clever stratagems were used to keep the fact
that control had been seized from being obvious to the people.
The first of these was control of the established media in the
dissemination of both true (blocking) and false (flooding)
information. The second was the use of clandestine and secret
weapons and techniques developed during World War Two and
perfected during the Korean and Viet Nam wars. These techniques
are so new and unusual as to be unbelievable to most citizens.
Thus, the incredibility of such weapons as hypnosis, brainwashing
and "programming" of patsies as assassins became a psychological
tool in the bag of techniques of the power control group. The
average American has shrugged off the possibility of the takeover
with the belief that, "That's not possible here."
The use of such weapons, coupled with a tremendous campaign
through the controlled media that both whitewashes any signs of
conspiracies and spreads disinformation throughout the country,
has successfully blocked any serious or official attempts to get
at the truth. Unofficial investigators, private researchers, and
even Congressional representatives have been ridiculed and
completely blocked by both the power control group and their
media allies.
To take over a real democracy without letting the people
know it has been taken over is a fantastic achievement. A list
of the accomplishments of the power control group illustrates the
point. Since 1963, they have:
*Assassinated John F. Kennedy;
*Controlled Lyndon B. Johnson as president;
*Forced LBJ out of the presidency;
*Assassinated Robert F. Kennedy, assuring Nixon's election
in 1968;
*Assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King;
*Eliminated Ted Kennedy as a contender in the 1972 elections
by framing him at Chappaquiddick and threatening his children;
*Stopped George Wallace's campaign, assuring Nixon's
election in 1972;
*Knocked Edmund Muskie out of the 1972 election campaign by
using dirty tricks;
*Covered up all of the above;
*Controlled the 15 major news media organizations;
*Made Gerald Ford vice president and then president;
*Insured continuity of the cover-ups by forcing Ford to
pardon Nixon;
*Murdered about 100 witnesses and participants in the three
assassinations and one attempted assassination;
*Blocked efforts by private citizens and organizations to
reveal the take-over; discredited, ruined or infiltrated these
individuals or groups; murdered or were accomplices to the
murders of the operating assassins;
*Blocked efforts by members of the Senate and House to
initiate investigations of the assassinations and attempted to
whitewash, ridicule or eliminate these efforts (their influence
and infiltration has been particularly effective in the Church
Committee and in the House Rules Committee);
*Controlled the presidential election procedure since 1964
by eliminating the candidates who might expose the truth and
insuring the election or appointment of candidates already
committed to covering up the truth about the take-over.
The question for 1976 was: Could the power control group
continue the take-over during that year's elections? Would they
be successful in blocking efforts to expose the take-over by
congress? Would they be able to fool the American public again,
control the media, and eliminate the contenders for the
presidency in 1976 who might have threatened their secure
position? The answer to these questions was "Yes."
The candidates on the scene during the 1976 primaries fell
into three categories according to the control group's point of
view. Category 1 included candidates that would continue the
cover-up of the take-over. Gerald Ford led this group with
Ronald Reagan not far behind him. Henry Jackson was a probable
ally because of his backing of the CIA, an important organization
in the cover-ups and the takeover. Category 2 included those
candidates who would probably try to expose the take-over and the
power control group if elected. Morris Udall, Fred Harris and
George Wallace fell into this category. The third category
included candidates whose intentions were not clear, or unknown
at the time. Jimmy Carter, Frank Church and Hubert Humphrey
remained in this group, and Sergeant Shriver and Birch Bayh were
also in this category before they dropped out of the race.
Efforts would have been made to eliminate Udall, Harris
or Wallace if any one of them was nominated at the Democratic
convention. Carter must certainly have been put to some kind of
loyalty test before being permitted to continue as the Democratic
nominee. Reagan and Ford were, no doubt, already "safe"
candidates for the control group because of their demonstrated
cover-up performances.
Ford had cooperated fully in at least four ways. He was
on the Warren Commission and played a leading role in the
cover-up. He wrote the cover-up book "Portrait of the Assassin."
He pardoned Nixon and protected the Nixon tapes. And he formed
the Rockefeller Commission, appointing David Belin as head of the
staff to continue the cover-up of the JFK conspiracy.
Reagan had cooperated in at least three ways. He protected
important witnesses from extradition from California between 1967
and 1969 for testimony before the grand jury in New Orleans and
at the trial of Clay Shaw. He assisted Evelle Younger, then
district attorney in Los Angeles and later California state
attorney general, in covering up the assassination conspiracy in
the Robert Kennedy case. And he has consistently supported the
foreign and domestic clandestine activities of the CIA, FBI and
other intelligence agencies both in California and nationally.
A later chapter will describe just how the Democratic
candidate may be eliminated and when.
Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez from San Antonio, Texas, who
introduced House Resolution 204 to reopen the two Kennedy
assassination cases, the Dr. King case and the George Wallace
shooting, took a public position on the possibility that the 1976
election was controlled.
Gonzalez said: "If we find the answers --the truth-- to the
questions I have raised (about the assassinations of JFK, RFK,
MLK and the Wallace attempt), as well as those many others have
raised, will the truth make us free? Yes, it will, for the truth
will make us free to pursue democracy -- our system of government
-- through the ballot box, and we will not be subject to
government by bullets. The truth will enable us to prevent such
a series of events from happening again.
"Some of the supporters of the investigation have written to
me recently of their hope that the investigation will get
underway right away (March 1976), because they are concerned that
there is great danger in store for the Democratic nominee for the
President, whoever he turns out to be. I hope very much that
these fears do not turn out to have a basis in fact."
