Ex-Pentagon Advisor
Reveals How CIA Killed Western Politicians During Cold War
German investigative
journalist Patrik Baab and former Pentagon adviser Robert Harkavy have released
a bombshell book, revealing the links between the murders of Swedish Prime
Minister Olof Palme, West German politician Uwe Barschel and former CIA
director William Colby.
We all know the operations branch of the CIA has been in the
murder business. Indeed, they very much are today with America’s
industrial-scale, extralegal execution program abroad using drones and missiles,
the hi-tech version of what the old Argentine Junta used to do, making
thousands disappear.
However, it has never been clear that they went after
important Western politicians before, and this new book quite changes our
understanding. No wonder the Swedes could never solve Prime Minister Olof
Palme’s murder.
Well, I've always attributed the death of John Kennedy to
the CIA-trained and -armed Cuban refugees assisted perhaps by some of the
lower-level CIA fanatics working with them in the field, but never to the CIA
itself.
After this revelation, and having read a very important book
about the Kennedy assassination, Peter Janney's “Mary's Mosaic,” I am coming
around to the conviction that the CIA did indeed kill Kennedy.
The Janney book, as nothing previously, reveals what
undoubtedly were strong motives for the kind of men who ran the CIA. I’ve read
all the important books on the assassination, and I have never believed from
the time of its publication that the Warren Report was anything but a cover-up.
But it is only with Janney’s book that we see real visceral
stuff that might clearly affect the top at CIA to go over the top and kill
their president. Yes, they already hated him for his Bay of Pigs reaction and for
the way the Cuban Missile Crisis was settled, but how could the kind of
self-righteous Cold Warriors running CIA not be affected by the President’s
intimate relationship with Mary Pinchot Meyer?
A beautiful and intelligent and extremely well-connected
woman of very liberal views who had herself been married to a high-level CIA
man, Mary Meyer stood out from all of Kennedy’s other female relationships. He
and she talked about important policy matters, and she was dedicated to world
peace and, importantly as a motive for CIA, she introduced him to drugs. They
smoked marijuana together in the White House, and she may also have introduced
him to LSD.
Less than a year after Kennedy’s death, Ms. Meyer was
herself killed by a professional assassin – I say “professional assassin”
because of the classic pattern of a small pistol to the head and the calm
walking away from the scene observed at a distance by a witness - and her diary
was stolen. This came after she had built something of a head of steam about
the CIA’s possible involvement in Kennedy’s death.
Of course, it should not surprise anyone if people, the kind
of intelligent psychopaths favored in the operations branch, people with
immense resources who are pretty close to unaccountable and are allowed and
expected to play God with leaders of other countries, should one day have
turned on their own leader.
Of course, one should also remember that whoever killed John
Kennedy was certainly also responsible for later killing Robert. Robert was a
ferocious opponent for anyone and had he obtained the powers of the presidency,
he would have pursued his beloved brother's killers with a fury.
