Reverse the Revolution of 1963
For OpEdNews: Dean Hartwell - Writer

Complaints about President Obama's foreign policy can be heard among those who voted for change from his predecessor. But determining what to do about Guantanamo Bay, the rights of suspected terrorists and even finding ways to end the failed wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will only address symptoms of a deeper problem.

Not even a revolution will cause substantial change if no one knows the root of what harms our nation. We should understand that we had a revolution in 1963. It would serve us well to recall how we got from there to here:

In November of that year, several shots fired from different directions felled President John Kennedy in broad daylight in Dallas, Texas. An innocent man, Lee Harvey Oswald, was framed for the crime and the authorities missed several leads, such as dozens of "ear" witnesses who said the fatal shot came from in front of the president's motorcade.

Enter Lyndon Baines Johnson, sworn in next to the late president's widow, who still had his blood on her clothes. As soon as LBJ covered up the JFK assassination by appointing enemies of JFK to "investigate" the coup was complete. The revolution began and has never stopped.

1. Exactly true. The quietest (in terms of no one noticing) loud god damn revolution in
human history.

And I've spent almost my whole life suffering its aftermath. We all have.

Yet, they continue to profit from their crimes.

Amazingly sad.

2. Johnson had a bank of phones installed at his ranch just prior to that day.
A high priority rush job to get it done, I was told.
