Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Discusses Operation Mongoose in Presidential Immunity Arguments (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pund...
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas poked holes in special prosecutor Jack Smith’s theory that Trump is the first president to face criminal charges because former presidents have never committed crimes.
Refers to CIA assassination attempts upon Cubans - pre-missile crisis, including several attempts on their head of state. Did they not wonder why the Soviets were there at Castro's request? He was sending smoke signals to sane people with military might (Soviets) to preserve his country, and himself. No - the people were told that the Russians were power-hungry, and greedy, and wanting to attack Americans on their own soil.
Unfortunately, the C I A got a bit too cocky, and decided that they would use their new-found skills internally instead: Kennedy was in the way of their plans for world domination anyway, and the kill-mission was so much easier to achieve on home-ground.
So, in a way, the Operation Mongoose reference is skirting around the grandest of all power grabs: i.e., the intelligence community subverting the Executive power in the USA (and other countries), while ginning up a Cold War with their previous allies. You know the drill: MOAR WAR.
The whole thing is a Web of Lies.
Kennedy pissed them off with refusing to send troops during the bay of pigs, pulling us out of Vietnam and ending the Fed. JFK was in the way so now you kniow who all benefitted from his death. Not the Russians as they were happy JFK was not a War Hawk , and Castro was happy with JFK not supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion. So both parties had a interest to keep JFK alive.
