The Deep State Went After President John F. Kennedy on Russia Too by Jacob G. Hornberger
It is fascinating to see both the rightwing and the leftwing excoriate United States President Trump for trying to establish friendly relations with Russia, especially since it is not the first time this has happened. It also happened to President Kennedy. As the old saying goes, it is deja vu all over again.
Like president Trump, President Kennedy was called a traitor, an appeaser, and a coward for seeking to establish friendly relations with the Soviet Union, whose principal member was Russia.
Back then, it was the deep state - that is, the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency - and the rightwing who were condemning Kennedy for his outreach to Russia. To capture a sense of the deep rage that was felt toward Kennedy, take a look at the following two images on the Internet:
The first image is a flier entitled "Wanted For Treason" that the rightwing was circulating in Dallas on the day that President Kennedy was killed. It accused him of betraying the Constitution and our friends and befriending our enemies, including Russia. It also pointed out that President Kennedy had been caught in "fantastic LIES to the American people (including personal ones...)." [Caps in original.]
Sound familiar??
That was the sentiment of the conservative movement and the upper echelons of the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency - i.e., the United States deep state.
The second image is an advertisement entitled "Welcome Mr. Kennedy to Dallas" that appeared in the Dallas Morning News on the day of his assassination. It too reflected the mindset of the United States national-security establishment. It angrily condemned Kennedy for going soft on the Russians and other communists and for scrapping the Monroe Doctrine for "the Spirit of Moscow."
President Kennedys reaction??
He considered such people to be "nut-balls." That is what he told his wife Jacqueline shortly before he was assassinated.
While President Trump has merely questioned the national-security establishments position that Russia meddled in the 2016 United States presidential election, President Kennedy was in an all-out, take-no-prisoners war against the United States national security establishment.
President Kennedys war began with the Central Intelligence Agencys ill-fated invasion of Cuba in 1961, continued through the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and culminated with President Kennedys assassination on November 22, 1963.
After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, where Castros communist forces handily defeated the Central Intelligenc Agencys paramilitary army, President Kennedy was livid because he realized that the Central Intelligence Agency had intentionally lied to him and tried to set him up.
To secure the presidents permission to launch the invasion (against a country that had never attacked the United States), the Central Intelligence Agency told the president that the operation could succeed without United States air support.
It was a lie, and the Central Intelligence Agency knew it was a lie. The Central Intelligence Agency figured that once the invasion started, the president would have to send in the air support to avoid losing face with a communist defeat.
But much to the Central Intelligence Agencys surprise, President Kennedy stuck by his guns and let the Central Intelligence Agencys army go down to defeat.
But he was angry.
He fired Allen Dulles, the highly revered Central Intelligence Agency director and he reputedly vowed to tear the Central Intelligence Agency into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the winds. He also put his brother Bobby in informal charge of supervising the agency, which was anathema to Central Intelligence Agency officials.
The Central Intelligence Agency was equally livid with President Kennedy, if not more so. Central Intelligence Agency officials believed that he had shown weakness and cowardice in the face of communist aggression.
During the months that followed, the presidents attitude toward the Pentagon worsened as well, especially since the Joint Chiefs of Staff were pressuring him to send United States troops into Laos and Vietnam to stop the communists, who, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency were convinced, were coming to get us.
Moreover, the Joint Chiefs of Staff came up with a weird, nut-ball plan they called Operation Northwoods, which called for plane hijackings and terrorist attacks on American soil carried out by Central Intelligence Agency agents posing as Cuban communists. The idea was that the president would now have a pretext to invade Cuba. To his everlasting credit, President John F. Kennedy rejected the plan.
Even worse, the Pentagon was asking President Kennedy to consider a first-strike, surprise nuclear attack on Russia, much like the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Military officials told Kennedy that "we" would win the war because "we" would wipe everyone in Russia while they would only kill an estimated 37 million Americans.
That was the meeting where President Kennedy walked out and indignantly remarked to an aide, "And we call ourselves the human race."
Then there was the Cuban Missile Crisis, which President Kennedy resolved by agreeing not to invade Cuba, thereby leaving the communist regime running Cuba to remain in power permanently. Gen. Curtis LeMay, one of the presidents biggest enemies in the war between JFK and the national security establishment, called it "the worst defeat in our nations history." He also accused the president of being an appeaser in the face of communist aggression, a reference to Neville Chamberlains response to Hitler.
But it was after the Cuban Missile Crisis that the war became full-blown. President Kennedy realized that the United States national-security establishments Cold War against Russia and the rest of the communist world was just a great big unnecessary and highly dangerous racket.
On June 10, 1963, he threw down the gauntlet in his now-famous Peace Speech at American University. Without advising or consulting with the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency before delivering the speech, President Kennedy announced an end to the Cold War.
There was no reason, he said, why Russia and the United States could not live in peaceful and friendly co-existence despite their ideological differences. That was heresy in the minds of the United States deep state.
President Kennedy was well aware of how dangerous his moves were.
During his presidency, he persuaded friends in Hollywood to turn the novel Seven Days in May into a movie. The movie posited a military takeover of the United States government to "save" the nation from what the military believed was a naïve, incompetent president.
In response to a question from a friend, President Kennedy stated that a young United States president who was perceived to be weak and incompetent ran the risk of being ousted from power by the United States national-security establishment. At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, his brother told the Soviet ambassador that the military was getting extremely close to taking control of the situation.
Of course, President Kennedy was not the only president who recognized how dangerous the United States national security establishment was.
President Eisenhower warned of the dangers to Americas political system posed by the "military industrial complex," which was his term for the "deep state."
And thirty days after President Kennedy was assassinated, the Washington Post published an op-ed by former president Harry Truman, who had brought the Central Intelligence Agency into existence in the first place, stating that the Central Intelligence Agency had become a sinister force in American life.
The timing of President Trumans op-ed could not have been a coincidence.
If President Kennedy had won the war against the United States national-security establishment, there is a good possibility that the federal government would have been converted back to a limited-government republic in the early 1960s.
That is because the only reason that the federal government was converted to a national-security state was to wage a "cold war" against Russia and the rest of the communist world. No more cold war, as President Kennedy announced, would have meant no more need for a national-security state.
Unfortunately, however, President Kennedy lost the war, which is why, more than 50 years later, President Trump is getting excoriated for doing what President Kennedy did - rejecting the admonitions of the United States deep state and reaching out to Russia in a spirit of peace and friendship.
