RT this THREAD because I want everyone to be crystal clear about the clear & present danger to our republic and @POTUS right now from the @CIA.

This is not with historical precedent.

It's not partisan.

It happened to JFK.
This is NOT the history you were taught in school, but it's very clear.

Look at the parallels to what is happening to @realDonaldTrump as the @CIA is engaging in an open war to cover-up their coup in Ukraine.
The @CIA is even using the exact same tactic, with a modern, fake "whistleblower" spin.

They feed info on a back channel to the compliant media, which publishes what they say.

Look what they were doing to JFK, @POTUS.
This is info available to everyone, right now.

Remember: the CIA was furious at JFK for not assisting their botched Bay of Pigs Invasion.

Link to the @nytimes piece from October 3rd, 1962 -- about a month before JFK was murdered in Dallas. https://nyti.ms/2mtDPYw 
And this paragraph from the @nytimes piece should frighten the hell out of you, especially today.

The @CIA has been out of control for DECADES and the open coup against @realDonaldTrump RIGHT NOW is just the latest example.

Think beyond partisanship.

Share widely.
That's what happened about a month BEFORE JFK's murder in Dallas.

And look what happened one month AFTER JFK's killing.

Ex-President Harry Truman - who established the CIA, wrote a piece saying it was out of control.

Read it: from Dec. 22, 1963.

There's another aspect of the JFK assassination & the @CIA that very few people seem to know...the murder of Kennedy's lover Mary Pinchot Meyer.

Be honest -- have you heard of Mary Pinchot Meyer?

Don't be ashamed to say no

It's buried history and it's SHOCKNG.
So, who is Mary Pinchot Meyer?

She came from an important Pennsylvania family; her father was a lawyer and figure in the Progressive Party. Her mother a journalist. Her uncle was Governor of PA.

In 1945, she married Cord Meyer...a important figure in @CIA history.
Cord Meyer started working with @CIA in 1949, about a year after it was formed and was asked to join the agency in 1951 by Allen Dulles.

Meyer was man in charge of the notorious Operation Mockingbird, which makes it especially relevant in the era of @CIA generated fake news.
Operation Mockingbird the huge secret CIA operation put together in the 1950s to manipulate U.S. media…and it was a huge "success."

The Mary Pinchot Meyer murder is a stunning media cover-up, as you'll see in this thread. Another "success."

Part of it due to Ben Bradlee.
Ben Bradlee was the executive editor of the @washingtonpost for decades and oversaw Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate investigation (which I'll mention later.)

Bradlee was also married to Mary Pinchot Meyer's sister.

And Ben got his start in propaganda.
In 1953, Bradlee was with the State Department propaganda arm, the Office of U.S. Information and Educational Exchange.

There are plenty of other CIA / Bradlee connections, but biggest breaches of public trust for the sake of the CIA came after the murder of his sister-in-law.
Mary Pinchot Meyer and her @CIA husband Cord Meyer divorced in 1958, two years after the tragic death of their young son, who was hit by a car.

Mary then became the lover of a man she's met decades earlier -- John Kennedy.

And they were in LOVE.
You know I believe journalism should be about proven FACTS…facts that are often covered up the media.

So, this isn't a guess.

A love letter JFK wrote Mary Pinchot Meyer a month before this murder was unearthed & auctioned a couple of years ago. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/news/a15935/john-f-kennedy-mary-pinchot-meyer-love-letter/
After her divorce from Operation Mockingbird chief operative Cord Meyer in 1958, the beautiful Mary Pinchot Meyer has become a respected painter with a studio in Georgetown.

She also kept a diary.

A year after JFK's murder. she was dead.
Now I'm going to show you a couple of jaw-dropping admissions for longtime @washingtonpost editor Ben Bradlee about the what he knew and did after Mary Pinchot Meyer's death.

Watch this first clip.

Very few people have seen it.
Before we watch the second clip, let's review.

When his wife's sister Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered a year after JFK was murdered, Bradlee–then an editor at Newsweek–admits he learns Mary was JFK's lover & had a diary.

Does this icon of journalism report it?

No. But worse…
Here's the second part of the @cspan interview from just a few years ago with famed @washingtonpost editor Ben Bradlee.

Remember - he's a journalist. His friend JFK was murdered. His wife's sister is murdered one year later.

Listen to this & see why journalism is screwed up.
Let's review.

Bradlee's sister-in-law has been murdered, a year after her lover JFK's (even then suspicious) murder in Dallas....and 3 weeks after the Warren Report is released.

"Journalist" Ben Bradlee find a top @CIA person–James Jesus Angleton–BREAKING INTO HER HOUSE.
Does Ben Bradlee report on this? Mention it?

Not for DECADES, when he has a book to sell.

Does he report the @CIA break-in to the police?

Of course not.

He helps the @CIA get Mary Pinchot Meyer's diary. And "burn" it.
Here's that entire @cspan interview with Ben Bradlee.

If this journalistic icon helping the @CIA to DESTROY EVIDENCE that may have been relevant TWO murders, including his friend JFK-the PRESIDENT–and his wife's SISTER made headlines, I missed it.

Did Ben Bradlee mention this @CIA / diary burning / murder thing during the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s? No.

Did he mention it when the Church Committee exposed the @CIA abuses-including Operation Mockingbird-in the 70s? No.

But he DID take down Nixon.
Oh, by the way.

That Watergate break-in that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon...the thing that sealed Bradlee's rep as a journalistic icon.

One of the people who did it was @CIA spymaster Howard Hunt.

Huh.
That's the same Howard Hunt was confessed to his and the @CIA's involvement in the Kennedy murder, shortly before this death.

Hunt implicated Mary Pinchot Meyer's ex-husband Cord Meyer in the plot.

Huuuuh.

For an astounding deep dive into the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer and its connection to the JFK murder and the @CIA, I strongly suggest reading the book Mary's Mosaic.
