uneducated midwit take. i deeply hate all of the people who think their pop history tier knowledge about JFK beats Peter Dale Scott and James Douglass. https://twitter.com/chickenpaprika/status/1301362350252060672

like JFK's negotiations with Castro, his attempts to rein in the CIA including over escalation in Vietnam leading to them carrying out the South Vietnam generals' coup behind his back, etc are indisputable because they are a matter of public record.

Try to understand it from a historical perspective. How did the CIA go from being a fairly ad-hoc wartime U.S. intelligence service to being in charge of an unfathomably large international criminal empire? How would a U.S. president respond to such a usurpation of power?
