Whose Side Are They On?
/Whose Side Are They On?
By: Joel E. Gordon
I am increasingly feeling as though trust in the federal government and its agencies is like trying to hold on to the debunked once common belief that the earth is flat.
In 1992, Congress passed the JFK Records Act mandating the release of ALL documents relevant to his assassination by 2017. It’s now five years past the deadline and 3% of the documents are still secret. What could be so bad that they still refuse to provide transparency and tell us the truth?
Could it be that in his book They Killed our President Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, the former CIA operative known as “X,” has valid belief in federal law enforcement involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? His theories were the basis for Oliver Stone’s controversial movie JFK, where it suggests a coup d'état at the highest levels of government, revealing the elite power base he believes controlled the U.S. government, implicating members of the CIA, the Mafia, the military-industrial complex, Secret Service, FBI and Kennedy's vice-president and then president Lyndon Baines Johnson as either co-conspirators or as having motives to cover up the truth of the assassination.
In his book, Colonel Prouty backs this belief up with his knowledge of the security arrangements at Dallas and other tidbits that only a CIA insider would know (for example, that every member of Kennedy’s cabinet was abroad at the time of Kennedy’s assassination).
Fast forward to our current era of skepticism over the veracity and motives of current Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice. Is there truly a “Deep-State” elite power base controlling the U.S. government? Does what once seemed implausible both past and present now seem to be even more likely?
For example, the United States Secret Service has repeatedly changed its position about whether it is in possession of records related to the investigation of Hunter Biden’s gun, reportedly disposed of in a dumpster in Delaware. The Secret Service suddenly said it now located over 100 records, totaling over 400 pages.
“The Secret Service’s changing story on records raises additional questions about its role in the Hunter Biden gun incident. One thing is clear, Judicial Watch’s persistence means the public may get records that the Secret Service suggested didn’t exist,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Now, the Secret Service is still maintaining it has no record of visitors to President Biden’s Rehoboth Beach Delaware home? Under what circumstances will they be forced to come clean on that issue which cannot be truthful in the absence of gross incompetence?
I remain curious as to the justification of the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-lago residence over alleged concerns over ‘sensitive’ documents while the property was being protected by the Secret Service. Is it the position of the FBI that the Secret Service was incapable of safeguarding property or maintaining logs of activity?
And what about the 51 former intelligence officials who sounded the false alarm of “Russian interference?” Using the institutional weight of their former roles affording them security clearances, they signed the disingenuous letter to apparently attempt to bolster the past FBI false hypothesis claiming that material from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by the New York Post “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
The Department of Justice and FBI actions pertaining to investigation of President Donald Trump are well documented (FISA abuses, Christopher Steele dossier, etc.) and are ongoing as the search for criminal culpability continues even when based upon debunked ‘evidence’ or potential ‘fruits of the poisonous tree.’ Some of the current ongoing investigations:
· The DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation
· The Justice Department investigation into January 6
· The Georgia election investigation
· The congressional Trump tax reviews
Despite past and the numerous already active investigations, in addition to the DOJ appointment of a special counsel, the Jan. 6 select House committee voted to refer former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation and potential prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election. The criminal referral of Trump accuses him of obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government and inciting or assisting an insurrection.
EQUITY: The quality of being fair and impartial
As many obvious criminal actions go unpunished, many times without prosecution, others are targeted looking for charges that could be brought. Is it any wonder that the American public has understandably lost faith in equal treatment and application of the law?
In a culture currently being consumed over EQUITY, where is the justification for these and other actions?
Is collusion to suppress truth at unprecedented levels? Can the DOJ, NSA, CIA, DHS, Secret Service, FBI and other government agencies be trusted? Is the revelation of accusations of corruption at our highest levels of government clear and convincing to you as being exposed through the Twitter Files and elsewhere? Are the right individuals in charge to protect our freedoms and live up to their sworn obligation to adhere to our Constitution and Bill of Rights? Who is really in charge? You decide.
