The Worse-than-Medieval Economics of Climate Technocrats | @turnipmerchant

Mainstream economists turned climate warriors use cost-of-production methods to determine the “true” social cost of carbon. They appeal to a discredited methodology falsely attributed to medieval Scholastics.

“If you put the government in charge of the Sahara Desert pretty soon there’d be a shortage of sand.”

-Milton Friedman

60 years ago, the CIA murdered the sitting President of the United States in broad daylight.
The media was in on it the whole time.
And I am going to prove it to you here once and for all.

On November 22, 1963, not only did John Kennedy die, but so did our free press, and as we have seen and continue to experience, so did our hopes for world peace.

Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefitted? Who had the power to cover it up?

Let's start from the beginning. What are the origins of the CIA? What was its purpose? Well, in 1947, the US had no enemies to speak of after WWII. There was no reason to create such a monstrous new agency unless the major objective was to create machinery to be able to control foreign policy in the United States.

The legislation creating it was not drawn up by an intelligence man; it was drawn up by a Wall Street man, James Forrestal.

In 1949, Forrestal was Truman’s Secretary of Defense. However, as soon as he began questioning US foreign policy, he was immediately committed to the psychiatric wing of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. And like clockwork, on May 22, he supposedly leaped to his death from a 16th-floor window.

Likely the first instance of the CIA ‘suiciding’ someone they wanted gone.

It is important to note that President Kennedy inherited the dangerous and growing Military-Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned about in his farewell speech. He also inherited their imperialist empire-building foreign policy that had already been successfully implemented around the world by the CIA.

The CIA was no stranger to meddling with foreign regimes. They had many successful coups under their belt at this point: Iran, Guatemala, you name it.

David Atlee Philips, the CIA’s Chief of Western Hemisphere Operations, even bragged that it was all easy. He said in an interview:

“In 1953, a few CIA people managed to make some changes in Iran that President Eisenhower liked very much.”

“In 1954, a few of us in Guatemala made some changes. It seemed almost without effort.”

All of this, of course, was applauded by our press. But not publicly known, the CIA had made plans to take over an even bigger country: the USA.

To do it, they would need to infiltrate and take over the media and the press. To win over the hearts and minds of the populace.

It was, and still is, the CIA’s most successful operation called 'Operation Mockingbird'.

There was no noteworthy resistance from any newspaper or major media corporation to our First Amendment being turned over to a secret government agency.

The once icons of independence became nothing more than press agents for imperialism.

Uncovered by the Church Committee hearings in the 1970s, Church found out that the CIA had over 400 paid or contract assets infesting the media from the 50s on.

They had a major influence over twenty-five newspapers, the wire services, and three networks; the biggest being CBS.

Other compromised platforms of note include Time Life, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, New York Herald Tribune, Newsweek, Time Magazine, and Reader's Digest

On television, the CIA’s most successful voice was the prominent conservative, William F. Buckley, author of the CIA-funded “God & Man at Yale."

In a recorded staff meeting with President Reagan in 1981, when asked about the CIA and Mockingbird, CIA Chief William Casey said, “We’ll know our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Today, six major corporations own over 95% of all media. There’s no longer any fairness doctrine, no equal time provision; why do you think that is?

Before Kennedy was shot in Dallas, this was not the case. In fact, there were 1,500 different owners of television and radio stations. This quickly changed after Kennedy was no longer in the mix.

In 1962, the CIA approached President Kennedy with a proposal. An operation called “Operation Northwoods”. The proposals called for CIA operatives to both stage and commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government to justify a war against Cuba.

The list of potential attacks detailed in the document included:

The remote control of civilian aircraft, which would be secretly repainted as US Air Force planes.

A fabricated 'shoot down' of a US Air Force fighter aircraft off the coast of Cuba.
The assassination of Cuban immigrants by sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas.
Blowing up a U.S. ship and orchestrating terrorism in U.S. cities.
The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer, and sent to the Secretary of Defense before it was rejected by JFK. What decent human being would sign such a thing?
Like I said previously, President Kennedy inherited and had to face two of the CIA’s biggest yet-to-be-implemented plans:

The Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba

Attacking Vietnam
With the CIA’s Mockingbird assets in place, support for the CIA’s plans for Cuba and Vietnam were gaining public traction.

“First, I want to say that there will not be, under any conditions, an intervention in Cuba by the United States Armed Forces,” JFK stated.

Reluctantly convinced by Allen Dulles and his associate, Charles Cabell, that a modest invasion by mostly anti-Castro Cubans at the Bay of Pigs would be so well received by the Cuban people that it would result in a popular uprising against Fidel, Kennedy approved it.

From the beginning, it was a disaster.

In an attempt to salvage their obvious blunder, the CIA cried for air support.

Knowing an airstrike would belie his young presidency, Kennedy refused.

It was the CIA’s first failure. They were livid.

Interestingly enough, the CIA’s codename for the Bay of Pigs operation was “Zapata,” the name of George Bush’s oil company. One of the boats was even called “Barbara,” his wife’s name, suggesting that George Bush had more pull in the CIA than many people think.

Kennedy publicly took the blame, but he knew where the responsibility truly lay. He swiftly fired Allen Dulles, the longtime director of the CIA, and General Cabell, his deputy.

Note: General Cabell’s brother was the Mayor of Dallas at the time Kennedy was killed.

The gulf between Kennedy and the CIA had widened irreparably. He was quoted as saying he “wanted to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

At this point, the CIA media assets were now trumpeting the “Communist Menace” in Asia, along with the domino theory of collapsing nations.

But on September 3, 1963, on CBS, fifty days before his assassination, Kennedy stated there would be no Americans fighting in Vietnam. "We may supply them, but it is their war to fight."

You see, by 1963, the Central Intelligence Agency had become increasingly eager to involve the United States in Southeast Asia.

Unfortunately for them, they were faced with a President who had decided to withdraw the small number of troops they had there.

With Vietnam and its potential profits slipping away, the CIA was confronting its second failure, the most significant in its unchecked history.

Why Vietnam?

Vietnam represented more in terms of raw materials than any other location available to them in the world.

They HAD to get into Southeast Asia.

And the only obstacle was...

A man with reddish-brown hair, 6′1″ tall, 175 lbs, President John F. Kennedy.

For the CIA, removing him was akin to swatting a fly from a table.

At this point, their only ally in the White House was Vice President Lyndon Johnson, but rumors were rife that Johnson would not be on the reelection ticket in 1964. That would have been a certain Kennedy landslide at that point.

It wasn’t that Kennedy would remove him from the ticket; the law would. Bobby Baker, Johnson’s longtime bagman, was under investigation for bribery in a vending machine scandal. The investigation into corruption traced back to the 1950s, straight to Lyndon Johnson.

The CIA had to act so they could keep their man in office.

The first attempt on Kennedy’s life was thwarted in Chicago. Two Cuban nationals were found in a hotel room with several automatic rifles with telescopic sights, along with an outline of the route that President Kennedy was scheduled to take. No word of the other possible assassin, who resembled Lee Harvey Oswald, or of the two Cubans, who were never detained, was ever forwarded to Dallas, where Kennedy was next slated to visit.

A subsequent attempt in Miami saw the motorcade stopped, and the President flown out by helicopter. Up to this point, except for Castro, the CIA had a 100% success rate in eliminating heads of state. It was a secret program called “The Family Jewels.” Look it up.

One extremely interesting point of note was the other potential patsies. Remember when I said that one of the possible assassins resembled Oswald? He resembled him in more ways than just physically.

His name was Thomas Arthur Vallee. He had made open and loud threats that he would assassinate Kennedy. The Secret Service only picked him up when Kennedy canceled his trip to Chicago at 10:00 a.m. What one finds in Vallee and the whole Chicago plot are so many similarities to what happened in Dallas later that month.

Vallee, if we compare him to Oswald, is an ex-Marine. He had been posted, like Oswald, in the far east on a station that was linked to the CIA. It was easy to portray him as disgruntled, anti-Kennedy, a loner, and armed.

Vallee trained Cuban exiles for combat, which was a CIA responsibility. We know Oswald wanted to do the same and he most likely did.

Oswald was moved from New Orleans to Dallas just a month before the assassination. He was placed, and given a job in a tall building. It was a perfect killzone.

Vallee was also moved around like a pawn. He was moved just a few months prior from Long Island to Chicago just in time for the plot. Where does he get a job? In a tall building, adjacent to the motorcade, with the perfect killzone view. It would have forced Kennedy’s motorcade to do a sharp turn, slow down, and result in a perfect point where they would have had perfect triangulation of fire, just like in Dallas.

To eliminate their own President, with the help of the Dallas police and their media assets, would be a low-risk operation.

Shortly after John Kennedy’s arrival in Dallas, amid massive outpourings of affection, despite signs vilifying him posted along the way, and an FBI airtel informing Hoover of a possible assassination attempt that day, another warning came from the CIA’s George Bush of yet another potential attempt. He was seated in his limousine, which had no bubble top. It had been conveniently removed at the order of Bill Moyers, then a press aide to Lyndon Johnson.

Security was surprisingly lax. Just before leaving Love Field, a cameraman caught footage of Secret Service Chief Emory Roberts ordering his agents off the President's limousine as it began its approach toward Dealey Plaza. Originally scheduled to travel down Main Street through the Plaza, the motorcade route was changed at the last minute. The new route turned left on Elm, toward the Book Depository, a move that violated all Secret Service protocols for the protection of a President.

Not only was this route leading them into an ambush, but it also passed by the building in which they had planted the patsy. They were moving unusually slow as they passed the Depository, the target zone, going only eleven miles per hour, which is nearly stationary for professionals with rifles prepared to take their shots.

Abraham Zapruder, a clothing manufacturer, had taken the afternoon off to film the President. In moments, gunshots would ring out at 12:30pm. Zapruder's film would become the most famous and suppressed piece of evidence in human history. Jackie Kennedy is seen scrambling over the back seat to retrieve part of her husband’s brain. Motorcycle officer Billy Hargis, riding to the left rear, was splattered with blood and brain tissue.

Nearly everyone in Dealey Plaza rushed toward the grassy knoll, where the shots seemed to originate. The President's mutilated body was rushed to Parkland Hospital with half of his head gone. Dr. Malcolm Perry inserted a breathing tube into the trachea, noting later in a press conference, that there was an entrance wound to the throat and a fatal wound to the head indicative of an exit wound on the back of the head. This suggests the assassin shot from the front of the limousine.

Those tapes were confiscated from local TV stations, of course. He was later pressured to change his opinion during the investigation. Many doctors corroborated Perry’s opinion with their own and were also pressured to say otherwise.

Back in Dealey Plaza, witnesses told of multiple gunshots heard from different directions around the plaza. One particularly credible witness was a Deaf man named Ed Hoffman, who described seeing the shooter behind a fence but was dismissed when he tried to report what he saw to a man in a police uniform.

The official story we are taught in school is that a bullet entered the base of the President's neck, exited through his throat, and then passed through Governor Connally's shoulder and wrist, ultimately lodging in his thigh. Another bullet struck Kennedy in the back of the head. Three shots in total. One missed. This was all supposedly the work of a single shooter.

Note: The cause of death on the death certificate was a gunshot wound to the temple. Finding that death certificate is one of the most difficult tasks, as it has been buried by those who don't want it seen.

Almost immediately, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and the FBI quickly confiscated almost every single film and photograph. Colonel Fletcher Prouty, Chief of Special Operations for the Pentagon, was in New Zealand at the time. He remarked, “About noontime, we bought the paper. One thing I noticed was that the New Zealand paper had a full biographical story of this Oswald, a former Marine. On that day he was in, I believe, a T-shirt or polo shirt, but certainly not a business suit (He was wearing one in the photo in the paper article). This was on November 23, the day after the assassination, and you couldn't gather that much information on a relatively unknown 24-year-old that quickly. Somebody had prepared that story about Oswald before he ever shot the President.”

Oswald, in late 1962 and early 1963, had lived at 602 Elsbeth. However, that address never appeared on any of his application or employment forms for the Book Depository. Colonel Jones, with the Fourth Army Military Intelligence, received a call from his people in Dallas. They had a suspect named Alex J. Hidell. Jones said he went to his Military Intelligence files, looked up Alex J. Hidell, and found a cross-reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, which listed his address as 605 Elsbeth. What does this mean? Army Intelligence had tipped off the Dallas Police that the man they wanted was Lee Harvey Oswald.

Also arrested at the scene were three so-called “tramps” wearing clean boots who were escorted casually to the police department, fingerprinted, supposedly questioned, released, and all the arrest records disappeared. Colonel Prouty later identified the man strolling casually by the tramps as General Ed Lansdale, a known vocal critic of JFK’s policy of disengagement from Southeast Asia.

When he was arrested, Lee Harvey Oswald had two pieces of identification on him: A.J. Hidell and O.H. Lee. No one actually saw Oswald pull the trigger on the rifle that killed the President. Oswald vehemently denied killing the President to anyone who would listen. He was adamant that he was just a patsy.

It was claimed that Oswald had communist sympathies. However, the communist newspaper brought in as evidence, which featured his photo, was later proven to be a forgery. We know now that Oswald was not a communist. He was a provocateur. Having both connections to pro-communist and anti-communist organizations. Oswald was interrogated for 12 hours, with no audio or video recording permitted.

When brought before the press, the police received unexpected assistance in identifying Oswald's communist associates, not from a reporter, but from a nightclub owner in the back, Jack Ruby—more on him later.

Oswald then underwent a paraffin test to determine if he had recently fired a rifle. The results, available before the end of the day, were negative, contrary to the announcement to the world that the paraffin test showed he had fired a rifle.

Fingerprints were tested on the boxes on the floor where Oswald had supposedly been when he allegedly shot Kennedy. It turned out those fingerprints belonged to a large number of Dallas police officers and not to Oswald.

What also wasn't reported was the fate of the first rifle found on the sixth floor of the Book Depository. When discovered, the rifle had "7.65 Mauser" stamped on the barrel. However, when a cheap Mannlicher-Carcano rifle was introduced as evidence, the Mauser disappeared. In fact, the evidence used to substantiate the gun found in the Book Depository being Oswald's, is a receipt from a catalog in which he ordered said rifle. Turns out, they weren’t the same after all! The photos of the rifles are all off, none of them match. Some claim they took prints on the rifle, others say the rifle has no evidence of being fingerprinted at all. It is all a ruse.

What magically appeared, however, were bullet casings. Not scattered about on the floor, but conveniently placed on the windowsill. Three hulls were found by the window on the sixth floor, all neatly lying in a row, not more than an inch apart, all facing the same direction.

What also disappeared as forensic evidence was the Presidential limousine. There are photographs of bullet holes, or the fragments thereof, in the windshield and dashboard. The car was immediately sent to Detroit, where it was trashed and completely rebuilt.

Finally, Oswald was charged with the murder of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, a police officer who was killed the same day, and accused of attempting to murder General Edwin Walker.

Interestingly, President Kennedy had recently fired General Walker for attempting to indoctrinate his troops into a political advocacy group called the John Birch Society. Walker was not fond of Kennedy after that. No one asked Oswald why he would shoot a general who also despised the President if he hated Kennedy so much. And if he couldn’t hit a stationary target like Walker, how could he have hit a moving target through trees?

Oh, and nobody asked about the last-minute change to the parade route. At the scene of the Tippett killing, the bullet casings that were found did not match Oswald’s revolver. Oswald is captured on camera, swarmed by reporters, pleading for help, claiming that he is just a patsy. He knew what was coming.

Now, even though Hoover and the federal government had no jurisdiction, they initiated an investigation immediately, without being instructed to do so. The FBI took action despite the absence of a federal law making the assassination of a President a federal crime.

In reality, there was no true investigation. They had their suspect. Hoover is quoted as saying, 'The Bureau must convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin' and to 'wrap up the investigation... we have the basic facts now.'

He didn’t explicitly state that Oswald was the assassin, only that the public needed to be convinced of it.

As convenient as the lined-up shell casings were, an even more convenient discovery was a pristine bullet on a stretcher at Parkland Hospital. Remember Jack Ruby? A photograph appears to show Ruby at Dealey Plaza during the shooting. Later, two credible witnesses identified Jack Ruby at Parkland Hospital.

He likely had several tasks to carry out, one of which may have been to place that pristine bullet under the correct stretcher.

The truth is, in any fair courtroom in the world, Oswald would have been acquitted.

For some reason, the Zapruder film, a camera eyewitness record, was deemed by the FBI to have no 'evidentiary value.' That is preposterous. The film remained in the private hands of Abraham Zapruder, who later auctioned it off. Time Life owner Henry Luce, a now-known early supporter and participant of the CIA’s Mockingbird operation, became the highest bidder and new owner of the film. How convenient.

JFK’s brother, Bobby Kennedy, said that he heard about his brother’s death directly from J. Edgar Hoover, who, he claimed, took great pleasure in delivering the news. At this point, Oswald had still not been charged with the murder of the President. The Dallas Police were finding that their case against Oswald was disintegrating as rapidly as President Kennedy’s foreign policy and mangled body.

Doctors and hospital personnel complained that the Secret Service, with guns drawn, removed the President's body before a legally required Texas autopsy could be performed. In fact, they took over the entire 'investigation,' violating Texas state laws, over which they had no jurisdiction.

The Dallas coroner attempted to intervene. He stood in front of the coffin and everything. They moved him aside by force. Jackie, JFK’s wife, believed she was accompanying her husband's body on Air Force One, but it was transported back separately by helicopter.

Lyndon Johnson, en route to the White House, was sworn in as the new President on Air Force One. He is caught in a photograph receiving a congratulatory wink from Texas Congressman Albert Thomas. The entire media saw the photograph, and of course, ignored it. The CIA was back in control.

Lyndon Johnson, the new President, arrived in D.C. in the dead of night and addressed the nation, reading his expression of grief from a slip of paper. How genuine.

Back in Texas, former Dallas Police Officer, Napoleon J. Daniels witnessed Officer Vaugn, a current Dallas Police Officer, allowing Jack Ruby into the back door of the basement. At 12:20 p.m., November 23rd, 1963, almost 24 hours after the public execution of John F. Kennedy, the world was about to witness the televised execution of a man who would never see a trial. Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live television for the world to see.

The patsy had officially taken the fall.

The news media quickly announced that Ruby killed Oswald out of sympathy for Jackie. But that’s not even what Ruby himself said. He stated, 'The people who had so much to gain and such an ulterior motive for putting me in the position I'm in will never let the true facts come above board to the world.'

When asked by a reporter if these people were in very high positions, Jack replied, 'Yes.'

Holy cow.

Jack Ruby was later found to have spoken on the phone with multiple people with close ties to the Mafia. Which, of course, had very strong connections to the CIA.

This was actually in an investigation that Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy’s brother, conducted soon after JFK was killed.

Robert planned to open up a big official investigation into his brother’s death as soon as he was back in the White House (he was running for President). He was also assassinated during his campaign, but that is a completely different story. Probably the CIA too, in my opinion.

With President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald gone, any semblance of an investigation also vanished, along with our foreign policy and world peace.

Lyndon Johnson, within 72 hours of assuming the office of the Presidency following Kennedy’s death, reversed the foreign policy of the United States regarding Asia. He met with the Chiefs of Staff, and his message was, “Tell them in Vietnam, everything has changed 180 degrees. We’re going to back them 100%.”

Vietnam, here we come.

Decisions like this can’t just be made on the spot. Paperwork has to be completed, months of position papers drafted. Interestingly, one of the documents that needed to be completed was ‘memorandum 273,’ drafted the day before President Kennedy’s assassination by McGeorge Bundy. It completely reversed the Vietnam withdrawal policy.

Bundy, Kennedy’s hawkish military advisor, subsequently joined President Johnson as a major architect of the Vietnam War he had always wanted.

Any potential investigation into President Kennedy’s assassination, or Oswald’s murder, was completely thwarted by the new government with its questionable establishment of the Warren Commission.

Also gone: American journalism.
