The Animus Toward Russia Is Nothing New by Jacob G. Hornberger

An article in Newsweek last November shows that the United States national-security establishments animus toward Russia is nothing new. It was the guiding light for the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency during the entire Cold War.

Entitled "United States Government Planned False Flag Attacks to Start War with Soviet Union, John F. Kennedy Documents Show", the article pointed to recently disclosed United States military documents that showed that the Pentagon wanted to employ a "false flag operation" to start a nuclear war in the early 1960s with the Soviet Union, especially, of course, Russia.

This false-flag plan, which was developed in 1962, called for secretly building or acquiring Soviet planes that would then be used to attack the United States, which would then give the Pentagon the opportunity to fire nuclear missiles into the Soviet Union under the concept of "self-defense."

Of course, this was not the only time that the Pentagon presented the president with a false-flag operation. That was what Operation Northwoods was also all about. Also developed in 1962, it called for deadly terrorist attacks and plane hijackings here in the United States carried out by United States agents posing as Cuban communists. The plan would have enabled the Pentagon to invade Cuba, again falsely and fraudulently under the concept of "self-defense."

What many Americans still do not realize is that the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency wanted to start a nuclear war against Russia and the Soviet Union.

The animus against Russia, the Soviet Union, communism, and the rest of the communist world was so enormous that United States national-security state officials were convinced that nuclear war was inevitable anyway. Since it was going to happen anyway, they felt, better to start it in the hopes of lowering the costs of Soviet nuclear retaliation.

Why were Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency officials so convinced that war between the Soviet Union (including Russia) was inevitable in any event? Because they were convinced that the Soviets and Russians were leading a communist conspiracy to take over the United States and the world. It was a conspiracy, they believed, that was implacable. In their minds, this was a fight to finish. It could not end in any way but all-out war.

Thus, in the minds of United States national-security state officials, the only practical way out was either surrender or strike first. "Better dead than red" eliminated the possibility of surrender. And instigating nuclear war (using a fraudulent justification) was, they were convinced, the best way to win it.

Enter President John Kennedy, who came to reject everything the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency believed and stood for. At one meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he asked them what the anticipated American casualties in the nuclear war they were recommending. They responded 40 million dead Americans. They considered that to be winning the war because everyone in the Soviet Union would be killed. Leaving the meeting, Kennedy indignantly remarked to an aide, "And we call ourselves the human race."

To his everlasting credit, Kennedy rejected the Pentagons false flag plans for invading Cuba and starting a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. In fact, after the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved, Kennedy entered into an all-out political and bureaucratic war with the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency over the future direction of the nation.

That is when Kennedy declared that he was no longer part of the United States national-security establishments anti-Soviet, anti-Russia, and anti-communist crusade.

In his now-famous Peace Speech at American University, he declared that from that day forward, the United States would live in peaceful, friendly coexistence with Russia and the rest of the communist world. It was a slap in the face of the national-security establishment.

President John F. Kennedy then proceeded to move things in that direction, including the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, proposing a joint trip to the moon (which would have meant sharing United States missile technology with the Soviets), and secretly negotiating with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Cuban President Fidel Castro for normalizing relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba.

All of this, needless to say, was anathema to the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency. In their minds, President Kennedy was hopeless naive. His naiveté prevented him from realizing, they believed, that peaceful and friendly coexistence with the communist world was an absolute impossibility. This was a fight to the finish, they were convinced. In their minds, they had no doubt that President Kennedy was traveling the road to surrender or defeat at the hands of the communist enemy.

That is what made Kennedy such a grave threat to "national security" - a much graver threat than that posed by such leaders as Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran, Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala, Fidel Castro of Cuba, and, later, Augusto Pinochet of Chile.

Like all of those leaders who are targeted by the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency for regime change, President Kennedy was reaching out to the Soviets in a spirit of peace and friendship. Kennedy had to be removed from power, just as those other leaders were. The future security of America required it.

The records revealing that false-flag operation described in the Newsweek article were released last fall as part of that John F. Kennedy Records Act, which was enacted in the early 1990s and required the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency to release all their John F. Kennedy-assassination related records.

While many of the records were released in the 1990s, the Act gave the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency another 25 years of secrecy for records that they wanted to continue keeping secret from the American people.

That period expired last fall but the Central Intelligence Agency, not surprisingly, convinced President Trump to continue keeping them secret, on grounds of "National Security." At the last minute, Trump agreed to extend the time for secrecy by another six months, which expires on April 26. One thing is certain: the Central Intelligence Agency will request another extension of time for secrecy, again on grounds of "National Security."

Do you see why it was so important to keep those records secret after the assassination? They had to make it look like everything had been hunky-dory with Kennedy and that Lyndon Johnson was simply continuing Kennedys policies, when in fact Johnson had long been absorbed into the national-security establishment. The last thing they obviously wanted was for Americans to discover was the depth and breadth of the political and bureaucratic war between Kennedy and the United States national-security establishment over the future direction of America.

In fact, do you see why it is so important to these people that they continue keeping the tens of thousands of records secret from the American people?

Keep in mind that those records are more than 50 years old and that they are claiming that their release will pose a grave threat to "National Security." In other words, that the United States will fall into the ocean or that the federal government will be taken over by the communists or the Russians.

It is hard to get more nonsensical than that. The reason they still do not want those records to be released is because they will help to fill out the mosaic of the deep war that was taking place between President Kennedy and his national-security establishment and why he needed to be removed from power via a domestic national-security regime-change operation, no different in principle from those taken against leaders in Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, and many others.
