As US Representative from big auto industry state, Detroit, Michigan, Ford, like Nixon, Senator Prescott Bush and his son, George H. W. Bush, Bill Liedke (who backed up Bush with much money for Bush's offshore oil company, Zapata Offshore with it's operations of the north coast of Cuba in the mid-late 1950s, it is easy to see why Bush, Sr. was so actively involved in forming "Operation 40" as part of the CIA/Mafia alliance against Castro, which then turned it's CIA/Mafia gun-power on Kennedy. There is a fabulously well documented, but also entertaining documentary dvd at www.jfkmurdersolved.com that really presents the real evidence against Bush, Sr., along with all the other Nixonians and Ford-like creatures who participated in the conspiracy that killed President Kennedy. It traces through their connected involvement in every tragic scandal from the JFK assassination, Watergate, Iran-Contra, the first Gulf War, and now the second Gulf War, with more illegal wars yet to come if we don't demand Congress impeach and pull the political plug on this current cadre of wealthy thugs. Our Constitution and rights are at stake. Do we care enough to use the phone and call 202=224-3121, and just keep ringing if you cant't talk with your representative or Senator's political affairs offices when you first call. If you threaten them with either an "I will not vote this year if you don't vote to initiate an Impeachmenht Inquiry at once, they will, especially now, listen to you. You have to start believing that we can get Congress to stop the lying and wars that have resulted. - Ron Dahlke Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:20:21 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-7804 no thanks, Jessica. Obama is a fraud. But please go ahead and vote for him yourself -- and buy a Prius, and put an Obama 08 sticker on it. That's enough to save the world! - Evan Rhood Sun, 11 May 2008 16:12:54 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-7799 can somone help me hear?? and also vote for obama!!!! - jessica Sat, 10 May 2008 18:33:32 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-7798 well what was the name of the legacy?? - jessica Sat, 10 May 2008 18:32:51 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3140 Since Paul Wolfowitz was a most fervent supporter of the Indonesian regime when he served as ambassador there, I doubt very much that he and his fellow neo-cons would have "removed the genocidal tryant Suharto." But I do like this image of Gerald Ford as a wise and seasoned politician calmly debating the merits of the issues among the learned Thebans of the day. A very comforting fairy tale to tell the children. - chris Fri, 29 Dec 2006 10:39:57 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3137 I appreciate the positive comments by Jim Hank; however, the point I was making in the above post was the historical importance of people learning the real reason Ford became President - i.e., that it was essential that he prevent the truth re. the Kennedy assassination from seeing the light of day. (That is why Nixon selected him to be VP.) He contributed to that on the Warren Commission and he furthered that immeasurably as President (incl. appointing George H.W. Bush as head of the CIA for the same purpose) - precisely at a time when it was on the verge of being exposed. And it was NOT an issue of him being given bad information; he knew, as did many in Wahington D.C. That is why his demeanor visibly changed when he answered the question about Lee Harvey Oswald - and gave a "non-denial" denial. More to the point, no one rises to the Presidency with such naivete. The msm coveage of his death is the ultimate in superficiality - we must never look at our true hidden history. - Richard Ryckoff Thu, 28 Dec 2006 22:52:44 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3136 What great comments about the Kennedy Assassination in the comments left by Mr. Richard Ryckoff, how long must we go as a people before we un cover the truth about this plot. Who cares about where the bullet came from, of course it came from the grassy knoll we all know that, but who did this and why. There have been so many theories mainly just to keep people off balance, however, I believe that the truth can still be determined. Studying this for long periods of time, the conclusion is not only with Gerald Ford as referenced by Mr. Richard Ryckoff so well, I don’t think and almost know for certain Gerald Ford was not the architect for the assassination, Gerald Ford was a good guy that was given the wrong information, based upon what he knew the conclusion that he drew up was correct. Unfortunately, he had experts (supposedly) telling him differently, and Ford was busy worrying about his own agenda. The person that was the architect of the assassination was and had to be Former World Bank president and diplomat John J. McCloy, which starts making more sense to me, due to the fact that the central bankers have always controlled everything that goes on since the early 1900’s when they solidified themselves in the US with the Federal Reserve Act of 1914 which basically has given them almost monolithic control over the United States, if you control the money supply you control everything. Don’t think for a second the Kennedy’s did not know this. You look at the people that McCloy worked for and the how he developed into such a great diplomat, and why he was the only member of the Warren Commission that was not politically elected. What did the World Bank have to do with the Warren Commission because Mr. McCloy had to still be an agent for the Central Bankers? Other very interesting information has been testified to about the shooters, the number of shots and the murder of the police officer on 10th Street. This information just makes sense, and should be investigated. When in reality Kennedy most certainly gained control of the White House through the influence of his father Joseph Kennedy, whose affiliations and connections where with a different type of mafia, unfortunately not as well funded as the Central Bankers, nor as in control of the bureaucracies of the federal government, as the Central Bankers agents, who included Dulles. There is no questions that the Kennedy Assassination can be solved, nobody has ever followed the money, did Jack Ruby’s family come by any money, did they receive graft, every person that was present on the day of the killing and the officials need to have some forensic examination of their finances, which can even be done to this day. This is really the sling shot that could just bring down the Central Bankers and their monolithic strangle hold on the world. - JimHank Thu, 28 Dec 2006 20:21:49 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3135 Conveniently, you clump a lot of names together under a Ford umbrella without mentioning that they were not all of one mind. Ford was a lot smarter than G. W. Bush and unlike him, he was certainly not a blank slate when it came to foreign policy. Nevertheless, he was not a Harvard professor so he sought advice from a wide spectrum of experts and scholars (p.s. - that is what presidents do). But most importantly, Ford was a seasoned politician and not an ideologue. He only allowed the neocons to have a little influence while using Kissinger's influence to keep them at bay. Ironically, in the same breath, you fault the Kissinger-influenced decisions he made while implying that his legacy should be marred because he gave rise to the neocons. Yet if they had their way, they probably would've removed the "genocidal tyrant" Suharto. Count your blessing that realpolitik prevailed. Letting Suharto do his thing was in our interest, as was the case with Saddam. The point is that Gerald Ford did not empower the neocons - he simply allowed them to put their views on the table among the others. Unlike people like you, Ford wasn't a professional whiner who could rest after criticizing every available option. At some point, a President must decide what is best for this country. - martin Thu, 28 Dec 2006 19:54:10 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3132 What one will likely not find anywhere in the empty, mindless commentary on Ford's death - with the endless drivel of what "nice people" he and his family were - is the reality of his biggest crime: an accessory after the fact to the murder of John Kennedy. Ford was the FBI's (and probably CIA's, also) plant on the Warren Commission. He was one of the keystones in the coverup, especially during his presidency when Congressional investigations into the CIA and assassinations were reaching their zenith. He authored a book about Lee Harvey Oswald, "The Lone Assassin," illegally using secret government documents from the Warren Commission in the service of establishing the lie of Oswald's guilt. He continued his lying to the end: I watched him on a newscast this morning in a recent interview where he was asked if he still thought Oswald was the lone assassin. He answered in the best, precise lawyer-like equivocation possible -- saying "I have seen no evidence of a conspiracy." The classic "non-denial" denial. The same answer George H. W. Bush has given repeatedly (another thug implicated by FBI documents in the thick of CIA involvement in the assassination -- and whose appointment to head the CIA after Nixon's resignation by Ford, was crucial to the campaign to thwart the exposures re. the assassination by the Congressional investigations). How many people are aware of Nixon's foreknowledge of John Kennedy's murder (keep in mind he worked intimately with the CIA in the 1950's as vice president, including assassinations)? And that a number of the White House plumbers were the same anti-Castro Cubans who were in Dallas on November 22? Combine this with H.R. Haldeman's statement in his memoirs that Nixon's foremost concern re. Watergate was that it might lead to the uncovering of the truth re. the Kennedy assassination. A pivotal behind the scenes event at the height of Watergate, was Nixon sending John Erhlichman to threaten Richard Helms at the CIA, that they must thwart further investigation of Watergate or it would expose "the whole Bay of Pigs thing" -- which Haldeman said was, in the Nixon White House, code for the Kennedy assassination. I believe the above indicates the real motives behind both Ford's selection as vice president and his infamous pardon of Richard Nixon. And, yes, along with the front men of Rumsfeld and Cheney, this is what has led to our present social and political disaster. - Richard Ryckoff Wed, 27 Dec 2006 22:17:19 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3131 and I thought his career highlights are stonewalling the JFK asassination investigation and status as a Mafia bag man. David Rockefeller fixed the election for Carter so he wouldn't be President. - drl Wed, 27 Dec 2006 20:09:14 +0100 http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/975/135/#comment-3130 Further evidence that the dopey demeaner is the best mask for dirty deeds. Note that, in the photo, even Ford looks sceptical of Rummy and Anniken Cheney. - Paul Curtin Wed, 27 Dec 2006 17:40:08 +0100
