Fix the Bus

Dwight Eisenhower spent a lifetime building up the military industrial complex. His goal like many others such as McCloy was an American Empire. Why would he want to see his successor, Kennedy, tear all that down?

He wouldn’t, and he didn’t.

Dwight Eisenhower also worked closely with Allen Dulles throughout the entire 1950s overthrowing governments in order to  establish a Pax Americana.

Why would he suddenly stop at overthrowing another government, that being the regime of John Kennedy?

He wouldn’t and he didn’t. 

It was absolutely necessary to include Dwight Eisenhower in the tight circle that would decide the fate of John Kennedy.

Dwight Eisenhower was a wildly popular president and war hero.

He enjoyed an impeccable reputation at the time.

He was a figure beyond reproach.

To not include him and run the risk of having Dwight Eisenhower oppose you if you chose to take out the President of the United States would be unthinkable.

For that reason, Dwight Eisenhower would have to be included in the group of elder statesman who would decide John Kennedy‘s fate .

You wouldn’t take out the President if Dwight Eisenhower thought otherwise.

The questions put before the group were pretty simple.

One, what is the direction of the country good or bad?

Two, if the direction is bad, is regime change needed?

Three, if regime change is needed, how urgently should that regime change be conducted?

These were the questions they asked themselves, and these were the questions that were presented to many heads of corporations, major banks, and world leaders.

To be fair, the answer was overwhelming amongst these types of people.

John Kennedy was bad for business.

Regime change was required.

Regime change was required urgently.

These men did not want to wait five years, which is what they would have had to wait if John Kennedy was reelected. Given the difficulty of beating an incumbent, and given John Kennedy’s popularity with the plebes, there was every reason to believe he would be reelected.

These men looked at the state of world affairs, and they did not like what they were seeing.

Given John Kennedy‘s policy on Cuba, there was every reason to believe the rest of the Caribbean rim would fall.

His Alliance for Progress program was not what they wanted. Campesinos educated and prosperous? Forget about it.

The cabal didn’t like his position on Indonesia either, where they secretly knew that the world’s largest untapped copper and gold mines existed.

In essence, everyone in the cabal felt that John Kennedy was weak.

Dwight Eisenhower had distain for John Kennedy‘s excessive spending. He also didn’t like the cult of personality that he felt was developing around the presidency.

And he certainly didn’t approve of his management style in handling the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Ike preferred that underlings duke it out in front of him.

From an operational standpoint, it would be absolutely necessary to include Dwight Eisenhower in the group that would decide John Kennedy‘s fate.

He was a respected politician. He had the allegiance of military personnel.

What Dwight Eisenhower thought carried weight in the view many Americans.

In short, he was revered.

It would be absolutely necessary to include Eisenhower in supporting any investigation that might ensue from John Kennedy’s assassination.

Yet, Ike had very little to say publicly about the  Warren Commission findings .

That is surprising, but not too surprising as Ike was a very reticent man.  

Eisenhower always preferred to operate behind-the-scenes and let other people do the front work for him. This was how he took down McCarthy.

One thing is for sure, Ike didn’t attack the Warren  Commission findings.

My guess is that he did not want to know the truth let alone speak about it.

***

Several comments of Eisenhower’s are of note though. On the day that Kennedy was shot, Eisenhower gave an interview sometime in the afternoon on 11/22/63 . He notes the following.

1. The American people will stand as one man … faithfully behind the government.
2. This assassination was the work of a “psychopathic accident.”
3. Our freedoms permit us all the capability to commit such an event.
4. The American people will not be stampeded.

Stampeded into what Eisenhower does not say. Is he afraid that Americans will not support the government and instead get stampeded into believing a – OMG – conspiracy theory?

You can watch the video here. You can form your own opinions, but to me, Eisenhower is already asking us to support a narrative that the government will arrive at.

In this video, Eisenhower comes off as sincere and heartfelt, and I truly believe that he was.

I don’t think Eisenhower’s mind would allow him to believe for one second that he was somehow responsible for JFK‘s death.

After all, the committee (of which he was a part) that called for regime change didn’t necessarily authorize JFK‘s death.

No, that was left up to Allen Dulles and  the CIA.

I truly believe that Eisenhower had no knowledge of the impending assassination, or the planning thereof.

In my mind, he was truly surprised.

Yet, this does not exonerate him.

Ike, after all was a politician. He was a politician while in the military. He was a politician outside the military as president.

He was a politician when he retired.

Politicians don’t think like the rest of us.

They are a special breed of people.

Let me illustrate.

You see, Eisenhower and his friends don’t think like you and I.

Eisenhower thinks in terms of national security. He thinks in terms of millions of people dying.

You and I think on a personal level.

If a bully exists in the neighborhood, we don’t think of the bully as killing millions of people. We think on a personal level in terms of ourselves.

For that reason killing the bully isn’t a serious option for us.

It isn’t an option for us because we obey the law. We don’t want to be tried for murder.

People on Eisenhower‘s level don’t have to worry about being tried for murder because they enjoy a certain type of sovereign immunity.

So, when it comes to John Kennedy, Eisenhower (and the others) put his (JFK’s) fate in terms of national security.

In this Eisenhower ceases to think like a normal person.

He rationalizes in his mind that John Kennedy is a threat to 150 million Americans and another 350 million people around the globe who live in the free world.

He rationalizes that it’s okay to kill John Kennedy because by doing so  he’s saving hundreds of millions of lives.

Did you get it?

That’s why Eisenhower and the others conspired to take out the President of the United States and not bat an eyelash about it.

Everything with these guys is framed in terms of national security.

And it’s been that way for the last 75 years.

That’s how they get away with their bullshit.

And that’s why you look at Eisenhower and say: “Ok, Ike looks like a kindly old uncle of mine. He would never do that.”

Oh, but he did.

You see, you’re interpreting Eisenhower and his actions in terms of the way you behave as an individual.

That’s not how Eisenhower and other world leaders think.
