Notes on the Philosophy of Evil, the Deep State and Political Assassinations

A. Evil as a Theological Problem

a. If Universe is a Spiritual Context (If God is Supreme - all good, all knowing, all powerful), why is there needless  suffering? 

Either 1: God is not supreme, or 

2: Universe doesn’t care / no spiritual-moral reality, or 

3: Suffering is purposive (related to reincarnation/Holographic Universe Theory) 

B. Ponerology, the Study of Evil

a. Psychopathology - 1% of Americans who feel no empathy (banal)

b. Etheric Energy-Vampires, “demons” - neuro-psychic parasites (deep)

c. Concentration of Power - Self-reinforcing Dopamine loop based on fear/control

Andrew Lobaczewski's political ponerology which studies the influence of psychopathology on governments to create "pathocracies"

C. President Eisenhauer’s farewell warning about the “military-industrial complex”

§1. “We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” 

D. The Deep State

§2. “…another government concealed behind the one that is visible at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a hybrid entity of public and private institutions ruling the country according to consistent patterns in season and out, connected to, but only intermittently controlled by, the visible state whose leaders we choose.”[Bill Moyers] Or, A loose (non-monolithic) network of financial(banking) organizations, intelligence agencies, powerful law firms, military leaders and political power-brokers who come together from time to time when their interests coalesce: the “military-intelligence-banking-energy complex” [my definition]

E. The CIA as a case study in the Evils of Centralized Power

§3. Creation of the CIA - President Truman signs the National Security Act of 1947, creating the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council. The CIA is accountable to the president through the NSC — there is no democratic or congressional oversight. Its charter allows the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties… as the National Security Council may from time to time direct." This loophole opens the door to covert action and dirty tricks; 

§4. 1948 expansion of the mission to ‘covert actions’ - The CIA recreates a covert action wing, innocuously called the Office of Policy Coordination, led by Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner. According to its secret charter, its responsibilities include "propaganda, economic warfare, preventive direct action, including sabotage, antisabotage, demolition and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.”

F. CIA overthrowing governments since 1953

§5. The CIA justifies these actions as part of its war against communism, conflating communism with nationalism or “resource nationalism;” i.e. nations having control over their own resources. Most coups do not involve a communist threat. Unlucky nations are targeted for a wide variety of reasons: not only threats to American business interests abroad, but also liberal or even moderate social reforms, political instability, the unwillingness of a leader to carry out Washington’s dictates, and declarations of neutrality in the Cold War. Indeed, nothing has infuriated CIA Directors quite like a nation’s desire to stay out of the Cold War. The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that by 1987, 6 million people had died as a result of CIA covert operations. (2) Former State Department official William Blum correctly calls this an "American Holocaust.”

§6. 1953 Iran – CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.

§7. 1954 Guatemala — CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.

§8. 1973 Chile — The CIA overthrows and assassinates Salvador Allende, Latin America’s first democratically elected socialist leader. The problems begin when Allende nationalizes American-owned firms in Chile. ITT offers the CIA $1 million for a coup (reportedly refused). The CIA replaces Allende with General Augusto Pinochet, who will torture and murder thousands of his own countrymen in a crackdown on labor leaders and the political left.

§9. 2019 Venezuela - The plot to overthrow Nicolás Maduro is being publicly promoted as an opportunity to steal Venezuelan oil for the benefit of U.S. corporations. They’re not even pretending.

G. Was the assassination of JFK a Deep State Coup organized by the CIA?

§10. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th POTUS, assassinated on Nov. 22nd, 1963 in Dallas Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested 70 minutes after the event. At 11:21 a.m. November 24, 1963, as live television cameras were covering his transfer from the city jail to the county jail, Oswald was fatally shot in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by Dallas nightclub operator by Jack Ruby, a known police informant. the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald assassinated Kennedy, that Oswald had acted entirely alone, and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald. A later investigation, the US House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries that Kennedy and Connally sustained were caused by Oswald's three rifle shots, but they also concluded that Kennedy was "probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.

§11. Evidence of CIA involvement with the assassination: CIA hatred of JFK connected to Bay of Pigs (1961) and the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962); Military Leadership hatred of JFK connected to Vietnam and Cuba policy of reconciliation; Lee Oswald’s suppressed background in US intelligence agencies; cover-up orchestrated at the highest levels of US government: autopsy tampering, the “Magic Bullet Theory,” ignoring of key witnesses, mysterious deaths of many key witnesses, over 100); Jim Garrison’s lawsuit against the CIA, successful lawsuit against E. Howard Hunt (legendary CIA assassin) incl. death bed confession remarks. 

H. A false flag is a covert operation designed to deceive, an effective tool for persuading war-averse democratic nations to go to war. The deception creates the appearance of a particular party, group, or nation being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility. Other likely false flag operations: MLK assassination (April 1968), RFK assassination (June 1968), Malcolm X assassination (Feb 1965); Gulf of Tonkin Incident (Aug 1964); 9/11 Attacks (2001). 

§12. Operation Northwoods (proposed 1962). The operation proposed creating public support for a war against Cuba by blaming it for terrorist acts that would actually be perpetrated by the CIA. To this end, Operation Northwoods proposals recommended hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. These documents, released due to pressure from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992,  debunk the idea that US intelligence agencies would never murder/bomb terrorize Americans or carry out false flag operations for political purposes. 

I. 9/11 Grand Jury in the works, endorsed by Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department (Queens, NY)  

§13. In spring 2018, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry — together with more than a dozen 9/11 family members and with help from AE911Truth — filed a petition with the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan demanding that he present evidence of unprosecuted federal crimes at the World Trade Center to a special grand jury. Then, in November, came the big news: the US attorney responded in writing that he would comply with the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3332 requiring him to relay their report to a special grand jury. 

J. Truth and Reconciliation Committee calling for new investigation of 1960s political assassinations

Sixty prominent citizens (including Oliver Stone, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, David Crosby, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and MLK's nephew Isaac Newton Farris Jr. believe believes the assassinations of Malcolm X, JFK, RFK and MLK were the result of conspiracies [“extra-judicial” actions] that were directed, funded and covered up by the US intelligence agencies, not “the government.”

K. Notorious CIA programs

Operation PAPERCLIP – While other American agencies are hunting down Nazi war criminals for arrest, the U.S. intelligence community is smuggling them into America, unpunished, for their use against the Soviets. The most important of these is Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s master spy who had built up an intelligence network in the Soviet Union. 

Operation MOCKINGBIRD — The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA assets.

Operation MK-ULTRA — Inspired by North Korea’s brainwashing program, the CIA begins experiments on mind control. The most notorious part of this project involves giving LSD and other drugs to American subjects without their knowledge or against their will, causing several to commit suicide. However, the operation involves far more than this. Funded in part by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, research includes propaganda, brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis, and other forms of suggestion.

Operation PHEONIX — The CIA helps South Vietnamese agents identify and then murder alleged Viet Cong leaders operating in South Vietnamese villages. According to a 1971 congressional report, this operation killed about 20,000 "Viet Cong.”

Operation CHAOS — The CIA has been illegally spying on American citizens since 1959, but with Operation CHAOS, President Johnson dramatically boosts the effort. CIA agents go undercover as student radicals to spy on and disrupt campus organizations protesting the Vietnam War. They are searching for Russian instigators, which they never find. CHAOS will eventually spy on 7,000 individuals and 1,000 organizations.

The CIA and Drugs - Nicaragua and Afghanistan

“The CIA has a long history of being involved in global drug trade in all parts of the world under the control of the US or where it has considerable influence. While a few cases have been investigated and exposed by journalists, the issue continues to remain in the shadows… The CIA’s history began in the 1980s. Drugs were seen as the quickest and easiest way to earn money to fund CIA proxies and paramilitary forces that served them, in different countries. Gary Webb, the brave journalist who exposed the Nicaraguan Contra drug trafficking scandal and was eventually driven to suicide by an extensive smear campaign by the mainstream media, described the process like this:

“We (CIA) need money for a covert operation, the quickest way to raise it is sell cocaine, you guys go sell it somewhere, we don’t want to know anything about it.”
