Secrecy and free democratic government don't mix.
There is no more
fundamental axiom of American
freedom than the familiar
statement:
In a free country we
punish men for the crimes they
commit but never for the opinions they have.
Once a government is
committed to the principle of
silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is
down the path of increasingly
repressive measures, until it becomes
a source of terror to all its
citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in
fear.
"President Harry
Truman, who ordered the bombing of Japan, was not required to seek approval
from anyone before doing so.
Nonetheless he did.
Truman wanted
to assure himself that others with more experience and expertise shared his
belief that a nuclear attack on Japan was justified.
He secretly built
an Interim Committee - so named because it was established to make only
a single recommendation - and asked for its opinion.
Secretary of War Henry
Stimson was the chairman.
Its other members were the president of
Harvard, the president of MIT, and senior representatives of military and
security agencies.
The Interim Committee reviewed intelligence and
interviewed physicists who had developed the nuclear bomb, including Enrico
Fermi and J. Robert
Oppenheimer.
After three weeks of deliberation, it advised Truman
that it agreed with his decision to attack."
- Stephen Kinzer
1945 In the December issue of
Collier's magazine Richard Nikolaus Eijiro
posts an article about the integration of Europe Truman reads.
This
article impresses Truman so much it is adopted as the official US
policy.
National Security Resources
Board 1947 Truman
requests military aid to Greece to support
right-wing forces fighting communist
rebels.
For the rest of the
Cold War, Washington
and the CIA will
back notorious Greek leaders with deplorable human rights records.
Truman signs the National Security Act creating the Central
Intelligence Agency and National Security Council.
The CIA is
accountable to the president through the National Security Council (NSC) -
there is no democratic or congressional oversight.
Its charter allows
the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties as the NSC may from time to
time direct."
This opens the door to covert action and dirty
tricks.
1948 Reinhard
Gehlen almost convinces the Americans that war is imminent, and the West
should make a preemptive
strike.
In the 50s he produces a fictitious "missile gap."
To make matters worse, Russians have thoroughly penetrated the Gehlen
Organization with double agents, undermining security.
CIA recreates a
covert action wing, innocuously called the Office of Policy Coordination, led
by Wall Street lawyer Frank
Wisner.
Richard
Helms is Chief of Operations of the Office of Policy
Coordination.
Responsibilities include "propaganda,
economic warfare,
preventive direct action,
including sabotage,
anti-sabotage, demolition
and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states,
including assistance to underground
résistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist
elements in threatened countries."
When Italian communists threaten to win
elections, the CIA buys
votes, broadcasts
propaganda, threatens and beats up opposition leaders, infiltrates and
disrupts organizations.
American Intervention in Italy's Parliamentary Elections
1949
National Security Resources Board (NSRB) adopts a national censorship plan
designed to restrict the free flow of information to the public in the event of
a national emergency or war.
The government assumes the power to
censor
communications and suspend freedom
of the press.
An NSRB document outlining the program says
censorship may be
activated in a "time of war or of national emergency proclaimed by the
president and found by him to arise from the use or threat of force by a
foreign power."
Author Ted Galen Carpenter will later comment: "Although
advocates of censorship habitually insisted that it would only by invoked
during wartime, the guidelines contained no such limitation. A declaration of
war was not required; merely a declaration of emergency arising from a
perceived foreign menace."
Psychological Strategy
Board December 30,
1949 Policy for Asia, National Security Council document 48/2 states
Japan would become Asia's industrial economy, fired by US companies.
Washington would 'hook up' other
Asian economies to Japan's industrial machine and as markets for Japanese
goods to isolate and contain China.
March 9, 1950 "When Truman was asked to approve $10 million in
military aid for Thailand, Achesons supporting memo noted that $5 million
had already been approved by Truman for the Thai "constabulary."
This
presumably came from the Office of Policy Coordinations secret budget: I
can find no other reference to the $5 million in State Department published
records, and two years later a U.S. aid official in Washington, Edwin Martin,
wrote in a secret memo Thai Police force under General Phao "is receiving no
American military aid."
The key public lobbyist for backing the KMT in
Burma and Yunnan was General Claire Chennault, original owner of the airline
the OPC took over.
Chennault deserves to be remembered as an early
postwar proponent of using off-the-books assets: his "Chennault Plan" envisaged
essentially self-financing KMT armies, backed by a covert US logistical
airline, in support of U.S. foreign policy." - Peter Dale Scott
April 14,
1950 Dean Acheson's top
secret policy is laid out in National Security Council document
NSC-68 calling for an enormous US
military encircling the globe to protect 'war-making capabilities' of its
allies, a euphemism
referring to countries with resources that American industry needs to
manufacture arms to contain
"communism" worldwide.
NSC-68 called for a military capable of:
defending the Western Hemisphere and 'essential' allied areas so that their
war-making capabilities can be developed; providing and protecting a
mobilization base while the offensive forces required for victory are being
built up; conducting offensive operations to destroy vital elements of the
Soviet war-making capacity, and to keep the enemy off balance until the full
offensive strength of the United States and its allies can be brought to bear;
defending and maintaining the lines of communication and base areas necessary
to the execution of the above tasks; and providing such aid to allies is as
essential to the execution of their role in the above tasks.
April
4, 1951 Psychological Strategy Board is established by a Harry S. Truman
in a Presidential Directive.
"Directive to: Secretary of State,
Secretary of Defense, Director of Central Intelligence: It is the purpose of
this directive to authorize and provide for the more effective planning,
coordination and conduct, within the framework of approved national
policies, of psychological operations.
There is hereby established a
Psychological Strategy Board
responsible, within the purposes and terms of this directive, for the
formulation and promulgation, as guidance to the departments and agencies
responsible for psychological
operations, of over-all national psychological
objectives, policies and programs, and for the coordination and evaluation
of the national psychological effort.
The Psychological Strategy Board
will report to the National Security Council on the Psychological Strategy
Board's activities and on its evaluation of the
national psychological
operations, including implementation of approved objectives,
policies, and programs by the departments and agencies concerned.
The
Psychological Strategy Board shall be composed of:
The Undersecretary
of State, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the Director of CI, or, in their

Board shall designate one of its members as Chairman.
A representative of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff shall sit with the Psychological Strategy Board as its
principal military adviser in order that the Board may ensure that its
objectives, policies and programs shall be related to approved plans for
military operations...".
The director and architect of the Psychological Strategy Board was
Gordon Gray.
Henry Kissinger was
Gordon Gray's consultant.
Henry Kissinger was also
the paid political consultant to Rockefeller family.
Gordon Gray,
Henry Kissinger, and
Rockefeller
were members of the Council on
Foreign Relations.
Gordon Gray served in the administrations of
Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy,
Johnson,
Nixon, and
Ford.
Gordon
Gray was heir to the R J
Reynolds tobacco fortune and President of the University of North Carolina.
Gordon Gray, a Yale alumni, was touted as a broadcast and publication
media "specialist."
Dwight D.
Eisenhower signed Executive
Order 10483 replacing the Psychological Strategy Board with the
Operations Coordinating
Board.

July 29,
1950 Truman explains sending troops to
Korea without consulting
Congress.
"We are not at war; this is
a police action." -
Truman
Service and Casualties in Major Wars and Conflicts 1994
puts Korean War American
battle deaths at 33,652 and "other deaths" meaning deaths in the war zone from
illness, accidents and other non-battle causes at 3,262.
General Douglas MacArthur
'liberates' North Korea from
"communism" nearly all the
way to the Yalu River marking the border with China.
At this point,
Red China pours its troops into the conflict.
MacArthur orders the
bridges over the Yalu river to be bombed to keep the Chinese out, but his order
is countermanded by the Secretary of Defense, General George
Marshall.
Office of Defense MobilizationDecember 16, 1950 Harry S. Truman signs
Executive Order 10193,
establishing the Office of Defense Mobilization (ODM) within the Executive
Office of the President.
The ODM is granted a wide range of emergency
powers in order to mobilize civilians, industries and government agencies to
defend the country during a
crisis. As part of a broad "mobilization" effort, Truman calls for
increasing the number of total armed forces, increasing defense spending, and
expanding the economy to
increase war production.
Truman declares a national emergency and
delegates many of his war powers to the head of the ODM citing the threat of
communist imperialism.
"President Truman proclaimed a state of emergency
this morning and delegated many of his own war powers to Charles E. Wilson, the
new mobilization director." - New
York Times
Executive Order
10193 grants blanket
executive authority to Charles E. Wilson to carry out all aspects of war
production and economic control.
According to the order, the
mobilization director "shall on behalf of the president direct, control, and
coordinate all mobilization activities of the executive branch of the
government, including but not limited to production, procurement, manpower,
stabilization, and transport activities."
April
17, 1952 Harry S. Truman signs Executive Order 10346, ordering the
Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA) to coordinate "continuity"
plans within the
federal government.
The plans will be designed to ensure the
continuation of essential government functions in the event of
a major disaster, such as
a nuclear attack on Washington DC. According to the order, "each Federal
department and agency shall prepare plans for maintaining the continuity of its
essential functions at the seat of government and elsewhere during the
existence of a civil-defense emergency."
The National Security
Resources Board (NSRB), established by the National Security of Act of 1947 is
to play an advisory role in the emergency plans.
The US government
constructs Site-R at Raven Rock 65 miles north of Washington, DC.; a network of
96 nuclear-resistant "Federal Relocation Centers" around Washington, DC; a
roughly 200,000-square-foot facility known as Mount Weather deep within an
isolated strip of the Blue Ridge Mountains, approximately 50 miles west of
Washington, DC; Greenbrier, underneath a hotel resort in White Sulphur Springs,
West Virginia.
Richard Bruce
Cheney and other high-ranking officials relocated to Site-R in the
aftermath of September 11, 2001. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new
perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
