This is part 3 of Why There Is Still No Peace on Earth: Washingtons Folly From The Persian Gulf to Ukraine. Read part 1. Read part 2. Another Christmas and there is still no peace on earth. And the proximate cause of that vexing reality is the $1.3 trillion Warfare State planted on the banks of the Potomac along with its web of war-making capabilities, bases, alliances and vassals stretching to the four corners of the planet. So positioned, it stands in stark mockery of John Qunicy Adams sage advice to his new nation 200-years ago: Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her ...

The Evidence that Convicts the CIA of the JFK Assassination Post Date: 2023-08-12 11:10:37 by Ada

Longtime readers of my work on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy know that I point to the evidence establishing the fraudulent autopsy that was conducted on JFKs body to convict the U.S. military establishment of criminal complicity in the assassination itself. Thats because there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. Once one concludes that the autopsy that the military conducted on JFKs body was fraudulent, one has automatically concluded that the military establishment was criminally complicit in the assassination itself. There is no way around that. The evidence of autopsy fraud is set forth in my books The Kennedy Autopsy, The Kennedy ...
