How important is "Faith in Government" ? Is it more important that absolute truth ?
Apparently so. The release of the recent NIST coverup - oops, make that the *Final Word* from the Neocons (until the next administration reviews it) brings to mind another curious episode - in the context of high-level incompetence, or perhaps even coup d'etat. May observers do not see true conspiracy - per se, in 9/11 so much as "should-have-known, stood by, and covered-up the tracks of others". Some of the nuttier conspiracy claims are too bizarre to mention, so much so that it may indicate a devious plan by insiders to cover up the smaller glimmer of truth which lingers in the shadows by discrediting all doubters. BTW the NeoCon mouthpiece yesterday: Shyam Sunder, lead investigator - had the gall to say: "Our take-home message today is that the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery." In your dreams, Shyam. You probably lost more support with that shoddy piece of BS workmanship than what you gained with the (in)conclusion. Let's hope there was not real 'payola' involved, since it is already filtering out that some 'independent' consultants used by NIST received rather large payments through what might be considered inappropriate channels. Anyway - the only point I want to make here goes back to the "Mother of All (modern USA) Conspiracies": the JFK coup d' etat. This is NOT going to be a review of the fine new offering of James Douglass (over a decade in the making): "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters" http://www.amazon.com/JFK-Unspeakable-Why-Died-Matters/dp/1570757550 But rather it more of a remembrance and a bit of synchronicity -- as I have been reading the unrelated pure fiction mystery named "The Analyst" by John Katzenbach. If that last name sounds vaguely familiar- you may be thinking of Nicholas Katzenbach, who as fate would have it - is the father of John. Flash back to Alabama in 1963. In what became known as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door," George Wallace was forced to stand aside after being confronted by Katzenbach Sr. (accompanied by a fair number of federal marshals). It was almost too theatrical to believe. [ASIDE} There is evidence that the entire encounter was coordinated behind the scenes with the JFK admin to allow Wallace to save some face with Alabama voters. It ended up as kind of win-win in a weird sort of way. Anyway - Nicholas who is now 86 -- is probably the only remaining chance that there will ever be an accurate and more trustworthy accounting of that sad chapter in history. Will he do the death-bed confessional (ala E. Howard Hunt, which unfortunately some do not see as trustworthy due to Hunt's lack of character). BTW - Hunt, who died last year at 88, and should know the truth of what he disclosed: actually named the other assassin (besides Lee Harvey) - i.e. the one on the grassy knoll - who was a French mafiosi and expert marksman named Lucien Sarti. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_sarti Only 3 days after the assassination in Dallas, Katzenbach, then deputy attorney general, had written a memo to JFK's chief at the White House, Bill Moyers. This memo comes the closest of any official document to discussing the government coverup which followed. No need to go over the detains again, but read Douglass' new book. If it is true that "murder outs" (it isn't always true) then I suspect that history will be rewritten in the JFK matter, and probably to a lesser extent in 9/11. But probably to show only that in 9/11 the highest level of culpability was the we knew precisely what Mossad was orchestrating, and yet we did not make any adequate effort to stop it, because it seemed to serve everyone's agenda well- at the time.
