26. ''But nobody reads.'' -- Allen Dulles, Warren Commissioner, former head of CIA, fired by JFK

Sat Feb 22, 2014, 07:58 PM

Feb 2014

"But nobody reads. Don't believe people read in this country. There will be a few professors that will read the record...The public will read very little." (Allen Dulles, September 6, 1964, Warren Commission internal memo).

His very words, describing the whitewash's 26 volumes of accompanying evidence, testimony and notations. Missed, of course, are the many revelations we've had to pry out of the secret government's Top Secret vault over the past 50 years.

Regarding the Big Picture: Peter Dale Scott has what is reputed to be a magnum opus, "The Doomsday Project for Violent Power: America's Decline from Democracy to Empire since World War II" (War and Peace Library). It is due out sometime this year.

Why don't the BFEE and their retainers -- as documented by Russ Baker in "Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, The Powerful Forces That Put It in te White House, and What Their Influence Means for America" -- want an intelligent, reading public? For one thing, Readers are Leaders. Thanks for being one, rhett o rick:
