Jan. 20, 2025 (EIRNS)—Over 20,000 people joined Trump at his Presidential victory rally, Sunday, January 19 in Washington D.C. During Trump’s speech, he said:
“As a first step towards restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents, and in the coming days we are going to make public records relating to President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other topics of great public interest. It’s all going to be released.”
Reuters news service pointed out that Trump “had made a similar promise during his 2017 to 2021 term, and he did in fact release some documents related to JFK’s 1963 slaying. But he ultimately bowed to pressure from the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation, and kept a significant chunk of documents under wraps, citing national security concerns.” They then reported this:
“Trump’s health and human services secretary-designate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK, has said he believes the CIA was involved in his uncle’s death, an allegation the agency has described as baseless.
“Kennedy Jr. has also said he believes his father was killed by multiple gunmen, an assertion that contradicts official accounts.”
Think, for a moment, about the implications of what you have just read. The incoming President, nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 of last year, in a still-largely-unexplained incident; and at least one of his Cabinet nominees, the nephew of a slain President, and the son of a slain Presidential candidate, are in severe disagreement with the views and practices of the intelligence agencies—as was, famously, the assassinated President John F. Kennedy. In fact, in the view of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., he believes that one of those agencies may have been involved in the assassination of his uncle.
Many Americans, of varied backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life, believe that these secret agencies routinely assassinate several, even many, public figures, here and around the world. Whether that is true or not would be relatively easily proven by public disclosures, whose only “security threat” would be to the government-employed criminals committing these crimes, including assassinations, without the knowledge, but in the name of the American people. What therefore, might happen, if the Presidential nominees, Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, and Kash Patel as FBI Director, are empowered to change the direction of those intelligence and law-enforcement agencies of the United States? What if they are confirmed, and the veil of secrecy placed over the past half-century is even partially lifted?
We do not suggest that there will not be problematic and even disastrous effects to be expected from aspects of the policies espoused at the moment by President Trump, and certainly by several of his associates, particularly in the field of economy. But we must also look at the bigger picture, to see why forces in London, of a financial and intelligence provenance, have reason to be deeply, deeply concerned about this Presidency.
President Trump has stated that he wishes to meet with President Vladimir Putin, preferably in the next 100 days. The previous President Biden had not even talked with Putin for two years. President Trump has also spoken already with President Xi Jinping of China, and has plans to meet with him as well. What does the “intelligence community,” that is, the financial-intelligence establishment of the City of London and Wall Street think about that? Put it this way: They aren’t very happy with the prospect.
“Trump maintains a disdain for federal bureaucrats and holds an enduring grudge about the investigation, led by the IC (intelligence community), into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. And the path he is signaling, through his rhetoric and appointments, is confrontation. If Trump does ultimately choose antagonism, U.S. intelligence agencies will face serious challenges in executing their daily operations.” These are the words of former CIA official Peter Schroeder, in a January 17 Foreign Affairs piece titled, “Trump’s Threat to National Intelligence.”
When John Kennedy, after the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, tried to move, in his American University commencement address of June 10, 1963, to “speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men,” the intelligence agencies opposed him. "Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable—that mankind is doomed—that we are gripped by forces we cannot control.
“We need not accept that view. Our problems are manmade—therefore, they can be solved by man.” He was assassinated for leading the nation toward peace.
As former Congressman Dennis Kucinich said on a Jan. 18 media appearance, “Let’s start with this: it’s very clear that we need a new world security architecture, that would reflect the interest of each party—not a unipolar approach. And the big thing in the U.S. is that we have to shift from the Cold War perspective, which has locked us into the apprehension of nuclear conflict, which can sometimes become a self-fulfilling prophecy—especially if, as in the Biden administration, you are lobbing long-range missiles into Russia.” That must be the path embraced by the United States at this juncture, no matter what the renegade intelligence agencies think.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s “Ten Principles for a New International Security and Development Architecture” and the detailed plans for what to do in Gaza “Oasis Plan,” the United States “Nuclear NAWAPA XXI” (North American Water And Power Alliance), and the world “The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge” are not only the solution concept for Trump Administration foreign policy. They are the missing link to explaining why the American Presidency must rein in the intelligence agencies. By telling the American people the truth about the “secret government” that has prevented American Presidents, including through assassination, from working with nations like Russia, China, the BRICS nations, and the nations of the Global South, not to dominate them but to end colonialism, we can make the change in mind-set that John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King wanted to see in America and in the world.
