When you look back on the Kennedy family you’ve got to think someone, somewhere made a Faustian bargain for power. Only a “deal with the devil” could explain so much power and prestige surrounded by so much death and sorrow—Jack and Robert publicly murdered, Teddy kept from the White House by vehicular manslaughter, Jack’s son “John-John” killed in a mysterious plane crash, Mary Richardson Kennedy (wife of Bobby Junior) apparently taking her own life, but few know of the Kennedy who died demonstrating top secret technology that would later be suspected of use to help create the “New World Order”.

Perhaps some of the best words that describe the progenitor of the Kennedy clan, Joseph P. Kennedy, are “ruthless” and “driven”. They were traits that made him wealthy quickly in ways that were politely characterized as “roundabout”.

He made his fortune, as his 1908 yearbook at Boston Latin School forecast, “in a very roundabout way”… “From the beginning, Joe knew what he wanted — money and status for his family,” says one who knew him intimately in Washington during the New Deal. ~ Joseph P. Kennedy: A Portrait of the Founder, Richard J. Whalen, Fortune

Although the family commissioned authors to whitewash Joe’s illicit gains, he is well-known for having built the foundation of “Camelot” on insider trading, stock manipulation and maybe even bootlegging during Prohibition. He was no stranger to the Mob.

J.P. was what we call an operator. He made his money by (1) pulling various hustles before it had occurred to anyone to make them illegal, and (2) possibly pulling other hustles that were definitely illegal but generally winked at. His stock-market shenanigans were an example of the former, his Prohibition liquor business (never proven, by the way) an example of the latter. That said, let’s not get ridiculous. He didn’t sell opium to the Chinese; the British did. Nineteenth century. Very famous. Trust me.

Joseph P. Kennedy was the ambitious son of a prosperous Boston saloon keeper and ward boss. He married the mayor’s daughter, went to Harvard, and generally made the most of his ample connections and talent. He ran a bank (admittedly two-bit) at 25, and was number-two man at a shipyard with more than 2,000 workers during World War I. At 30 he became a stockbroker and made a fortune through insider trading and stock manipulation. He was a master of the stock pool, a then-legal stunt in which a few traders conspired to inflate a stock’s price, selling out just before the bubble burst.

Kennedy may also have traded in illegal booze, although the evidence is circumstantial. His father had been in the liquor business before Prohibition, and Joe himself got into it (publicly, that is) immediately after repeal. Some believe the family business simply went underground during the dry years. He may have been strictly a nickle-and-dimer; Harvard classmates say he supplied the illicit booze for alumni events.

But there might have been more to it than that. In 1973 mob boss Frank Costello said he and Kennedy had been bootlegging partners. Other underworld figures have also claimed Joe was in pretty deep. ~ What is the True Source of the Kennedy Family’s Wealth? Cecil Adams, Chicago Sun-Times

A shark like that was quick to rise in the Democrat Party and he was chosen by Leftist demigod Franklin Roosevelt to ally public fears of an out-of-control Wall Street by heading up the newly-created “Securities and Exchange Commission”. I guess that would’ve been like the Chick-Fil-A cow hiring Colonel Sanders to look out for the best interests of poultry.

It was clear Kennedy was a force to be reckoned with and WWII brought many opportunities for fortune-hunters across the U.S.

Unlike Vietnam (where George W. Bush spent time in the Air National Guard and John F. Kerry joined the Navy Reserve¹), WW2 was a bit too public not to put yourself at risk over and many of America’s Ruling Elite rolled the dice. Doubtless, however, their careers were strictly governed to give them just enough danger to be contenders for later political office.

Douglas MacArthur, who was unenthusiastic about Lyndon Johnson’s one combat mission, was said to have been even less impressed by John Kennedy’s misadventures. MacArthur is supposed to have remarked that Kennedy should have been court-martialed for allowing his boat to be cut in two by a destroyer.

A squadron skipper later observed: “This was not a little stream. It was a big straight. Kennedy had the most maneuverable vessel in the world. All that power and yet this knight in white armor managed to have his PT boat rammed by a destroyer. Everybody in the fleet laughed about that.” But Kennedy received the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps medal for PT-109. His commanding officer put him in for the Silver Star. Joe Kennedy went to his friend [United States Secretary of the Navy] James Forrestal for help after the ambassador’s initial bid for a Congressional Medal of Honor failed.

The PT-109 episode would become an ink-blot test for the people’s judgment of Kennedy’s character. The argument over PT-109 anticipated other either/or perceptions of him—as either the graceful prose stylist who wrote Profiles in Courage, or the political hack who had Ted Sorensen write it and then cynically accepted the prize in the same spirit in which he collected his navy medal. PT-109 in fact anticipated the larger historical debate over whether Kennedy was the prince of Camelot and martyred hero of a generation, or a relatively inconsequential president who was also a reckless sex addict.

PT-109 asked whether Kennedy was a war hero who saved his men or a slovely skipper whose inattention got his boat sunk and two men killed.

The answer on PT-109 is—a little of both. ~ The Best Year of Their Lives: Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon in 1948, Lance Morrow, pp 189-190

But few Americans know that Jack was not J.P. Kennedy’s chosen successor. His appropriately-named first-born son, Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., was.

Oddly, JP Junior has been swallowed by history and perhaps it was as a result of just how he died that keeps the Elite shooing away curious truth-seekers.

OPERATION APHRODITE

Underwater missiles that could have hit New York, jet-powered bombers that were nearly impossible to intercept, sub-orbital bombers, vertical launch rocket fighters, or infrared visors are just a few of many in this definitive collection of incredible Nazi weapons. Be happy that those bastards never got to mass produce them. ~ The Definitive Collection of Secret Nazi Weapons, Attila Nagy, Sploid

Nazi Germany was so far ahead of all other nations (anywhere from 1 to 4 generations in leap-ahead technology) that some experts and authors contend they had help from other dimensions. I have to admit, it would explain a few things!

One of those “wonder-weapons” were radio-controlled smart bombs like the “Fritz X”:

The Allies had a lot of catching up to do but they sure put plenty of effort into it.

One such attempt was Operation: APHRODITE². Old “worn out” bombers were packed to the brim with explosives, brought up to altitude by crazy volunteers who then bailed out and a chase plane steered the remote-controlled aircraft to its target.

With one Aphrodite mission equaling 5 regular missions and plenty of hype and medals to be had, it was a future senator’s dream. Perhaps such were the thoughts of Joseph P. Kennedy, as he volunteered to “pilot” the converted Navy B-24J Liberator (originally designated a PB4Y and then re-designated the BQ-8) on 12 August 1944.

The mission couldn’t have been easier (if piloting a flying bomb could have such a mission): get the bomber up to attitude and point it towards France then bail out. The target was the Mimoyecques Fortress complex in Pas-de-Calais, France—the closest point between the two nations—so close it was where the Allies pretended the “D-Day” invasion would occur.

Intelligence planners saw a fortified facility there and thought it would soon be launching V2 rockets. The truth was much more frightening as Hitler had ordered a series of 25 “V-3” guns installed that would shower London incessantly with massive, deadly projectiles.

Getting a big 4-engine bomber up to altitude did take a little bit of time and some slow, lazy turns but after the 2^nd turn something went terribly wrong and the aircraft exploded before it even left British airspace.

The only secret bigger than Joe Junior’s flying bomb mission and fiery death was who it was that was entrusted with oversight of the bomber: Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, later General Roosevelt, son of the sitting president.

Coincidence? Joe Senior didn’t think so.

“Harry [Truman], what the hell are you doing campaigning for that crippled son-of-a-bitch that killed my son Joe?” — Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.

Sixty-four years ago yesterday, Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., naval aviator, met his untimely death in the skies over England.

Flying a B-24 Liberator bomber, on a TOP SECRET experimental mission, the details of which were not made public knowledge for FIFTY YEARS AFTER THE FACT!!

“British military officials did not want their people to know that planes packed with explosives, under shaky radio control, were flying over the country [England].”

A B-24 Liberator packed with high-explosive [ten tons worth], manually taken aloft and flown — part way to the target — guided the rest of the way to the objective by remote control from a chase plane, the two-man crew having previously bailed out. Intended to destroy German “V” [Vengeance] weaponry. A “flying bomb”, part of the Operation Aphrodite project.

It was Joseph Jr. that the father, Joseph Sr., had been grooming to become the first Irish Catholic President of the United States. Joseph Jr. had already completed two tours of duty flying Liberators and was due for return to the U.S. but volunteered for this experimental mission, knowing full well the danger.

For inexplicable reasons, the Liberator, chock full of high explosives, exploded spontaneously, Joseph Jr. and his co-pilot meeting instant death, bodies not recovered [BNR].

Amazingly so, Elliott Roosevelt, THE SON OF PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, was flying in an accompanying “chase plane” and witnessed firsthand the explosion of the Liberator flown by Kennedy!!! ~ The Flying Bomb! Military Thoughts

This first Kennedy death may very well have presaged the deaths of Jack and Bobby which I loosely summarize as one group of wealthy outsiders trying to horn in on the turf of the Establishment and getting taken care of…permanently.

REMOTE-CONTROLLED TERROR

While Nazis with little use to the Elite were put on trial for war crimes, those with special knowledge were given a free pass and whisked away to the United States via the magic carpet ride known as Operation: PAPERCLIP.

This very quickly put the power players in Washington well ahead of everyone else in everything from rocketry to biological warfare to mind control to remote-controlling vehicles.

Today, there is an entire new phase of warfare being fought by remotely-piloted aircraft so much so that the Air Force can’t find enough teenagers willing to work joysticks and those they do find they give medals to for sitting behind TV screens as they rain down death and destruction worlds away. Annoyingly, even teens can still find a conscience.

“These moments are like in slow motion,” he says today. Images taken with an infrared camera attached to the drone appeared on his monitor, transmitted by satellite, with a two-to-five-second time delay.

With seven seconds left to go, there was no one to be seen on the ground. Bryant could still have diverted the missile at that point. Then it was down to three seconds. Bryant felt as if he had to count each individual pixel on the monitor. Suddenly a child walked around the corner, he says.

Second zero was the moment in which Bryant’s digital world collided with the real one in a village between Baghlan and Mazar-e-Sharif.

Bryant saw a flash on the screen: the explosion. Parts of the building collapsed. The child had disappeared. Bryant had a sick feeling in his stomach.

“Did we just kill a kid?” he asked the man sitting next to him.

“Yeah, I guess that was a kid,” the pilot replied.

“Was that a kid?” they wrote into a chat window on the monitor.

Then, someone they didn’t know answered, someone sitting in a military command center somewhere in the world who had observed their attack. “No. That was a dog,” the person wrote.

They reviewed the scene on video. A dog on two legs? ~ Dreams in Infrared: The Woes of an American Drone Operator, Nicola Abé, der Spiegel

Fortunately for the vampiric world Elite, drones are now being developed to take that last pesky bit of human compassion out of the loop and even have them survive combat as inter-communicating insects would.

But these technological leaps have brought into question official narratives on 9/11 and Malaysian airliner MH370.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad thinks both Boeing and the CIA are hiding the true story behind the missing jet liner:

In a blog entry posted on 18 May entitled “Boeing Technology – What goes up must come down”, Dr Mahathir Mohamad makes ten claims which he believes render the search operation for the aircraft, and the 239 missing crew members and passengers on board, a “waste of time and money”.

“The plane is somewhere, maybe without MAS markings,” reads Dr Mohamad’s post on chedet.

“Someone is hiding something. It is not fair that MAS and Malaysia should take the blame,” 88-year-old Dr Mahathir, who was Malaysia’s prime minister between 1981 and 2003, alleges. ~ Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: “CIA Hiding Something” Claims Former Leader Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Kashmira Gander, the Independent

Prime Minister Mohamad may be on to something.

At least as far back as 2007, media were reporting about a remote control civilian airliner technology that was intended to make a future 9/11 impossible.

Boeing, in particular, has a patent on what is known as an uninterruptible autopilot system:

Boeing Wins Patent On Uninterruptible Autopilot System
Homeland Security NewsWire

New technology can be activated by the pilots, government agencies, even on-board sensors; not even a tortured pilot can give up control; dedicated electrical circuits ensure the system’s total independence…

But is this technology the result of an unforeseen event or simply the unveiling of a completely planned agenda accomplished because of that very same technology that was already in use?

One thing is for sure: if all you do is listen to your government and watch CNN, the world you think is out there is much more dangerous than you know.

The immortal words of President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his Farewell Address have become the rallying cry for awakened Americans sick of being drained by war.

After over a decade, citizens of the United States have nothing to show from their participation in the “War on Terror” except lighter wallets, horrifying humiliation at the airport terminal…and sons without arms, legs and faces. Many are left with no son at all.

But an increasingly-oppressive corporatized government has been reaping massive rewards in the science of population control.

“Drones” (known in the military as “Unmanned Arial Vehicles” or “UAVs”) are easily dealt with by determined nation-states. Russian-equipped Iranians downing a top secret U.S. Stealth drone towards the end of 2011, bears this out. It was a drone overloaded with the best in American military technology and Barack Obama gifted it to them.

Even modestly-knowledgeable and little-funded operations like those of the University of Texas can hijack a flying robot.

But for the common citizen, a drone can be a terrifying eavesdropper (and remote killer) and their use in the continental United States is now an Orwellian fact.

Some of the personalities engineering this new age of death from above are right out of a science fiction movie.

Fast forward to 1 minute in of this promotional video where iRobot managing director Joe Dyer calls the drones and systems he sends into the field his “children” —then corrects himself.

Feeding the government war machine is so lucrative and so vast that contractors have their own contractor to help them land that big contract.

One such “source for competitive solutions” (always need the term “solutions” in your business catch-phrase) is the firm “Washington Technology”. They put out an interesting article explaining the latest push in citizen identification: “biometrics”.

As the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) drives an ever-increasing demand for effective identification technology, biometric systems are being used to deliver these capabilities to the battlefield.

Biometric data includes measurable physical or behavioral characteristics used to uniquely identify an individual, such as handwritten signatures, iris scans, fingerprints, facial recognition, voice recognition, thermal signatures and DNA samples. The value of biometric systems lies in their ability to reliably and consistently identify an individual – thereby denying a terrorist or enemy the power of anonymity. To date, more than 16,000 individuals have been placed on the Department of Defense (DoD) Biometrics Watchlist (a list of identities of interest to the Department), including more than 1,800 high value targets; more than 1,600 insurgents have been placed on “security hold” – significant milestones in force protection.

The military has now amassed extensive knowledge in the use of biometrics as well as built a staggering database of “terrorists”. Ellen Messmer of Network World noted:

When it comes to biometrics, the U.S. Department of Defense has gained vast experience during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the military has captured millions of fingerprints, facial images and iris scans in order to identify and collect details about terrorists and dangerous insurgents.

…Suspects are tracked down based on fingerprints found on exploded bomb fragments, for instance, that are matched against a database in the United States in less than three minutes using satellite communications.

…The Department of Defense is … eager to expand its biometrics efforts into new areas that include DNA, as well as what’s called “multi-modal biometrics” that fuse various types, like fingerprint or iris, in order to obtain a more perfect match on subjects.

The science of biometrics “strips away the ambiguity of a person’s identity,” said Dr. Myra Gray, director of the Biometrics Task Force. In “high-target tracking,” biometrics is a tool that will “deny anonymity to adversaries” and is now being used in Iraq and Afghanistan on detainees and suspected terrorists, Gray told attendees at the Biometric Consortium Conference going on in Tampa this week.

“We have 3.5 million records stored” on 2.3 million total identities, Gray said.

All of this sounds really patriotic and inspiring…until you start redefining just who a “terrorist” is.

In 2009, then Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano put out a report which stated you, Patriotic Americans, were the next “terror threat”; Pro Lifers, Christians, Libertarians, Tea Partiers and veterans returning from war. It is your face they wish to scan and record, and they’re doing it now.

The UK has been the premier test bed for the Surveillance State and now, even grocery chains are getting in on the action with facial recognition scanners mapping customers who just need their milk and bread.

COMING TO AMERICA

In San Diego County, California, police are now cataloging anyone they arrest via biometrics and a new “Tactical Identification System”. Your permission is neither wanted nor asked.

The local Bay Area NBC affiliate reported the story with this headline:

Facial Recognition, Once a Battlefield Tool, Lands in San Diego County

The quick and quiet roll-out of battlefield technology in the hands of local law enforcement has more than a few rattled;

The use of this technology was rolled out without any public hearings or notice. The secrecy of the program has alarmed privacy experts and raised questions about whether San Diego is the leading edge of an alarming future – one in which few people escape cataloging in a government database.

Perhaps, you’re thinking, “Don’t get arrested” and everything will be OK.

In Texas, random citizens are corralled and intimidated into participating in a Federal “DNA screening” where they are asked to give saliva or blood.

The local Dallas/Ft. Worth news channel seemed to have some trouble getting details from either the contractor or the government:

NBC DFW confirmed that the survey was done by a government contractor, the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which is based in Calverton, Md.

A company spokeswoman referred questions to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

An agency spokeswoman sent an email confirming the government is conducting the surveys in 30 cities across the country in an effort to reduce impaired-driving accidents.

She did not respond to another email from NBC DFW asking specific questions about the program.

DNA is a powerful, personal signature. It is all too easy to contrive a story about testing for impaired drivers as a ruse to have access to a citizen’s blood or saliva.

In Tennessee, drivers stopped at “check points” don’t get asked.

It’s bad enough to see militarized police at such a “check point” but when you add a soldier into the mix, you get that twisting sensation in the pit of your stomach.

Federal, state and local governments try to put you at ease (or acclimate you?) by using National Guard soldiers instead of Active Duty. This gives the appearance of adhering to the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act which restricts the use of full-time military for domestic operations.

However, those same Guardsmen have been slowly assimilated into a Federal force structure via some disturbing precedents.

Many of us have seen the toll long deployments have taken on the National Guard serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. You have to stretch “citizen safety” pretty far to defend sending part-time Guardsmen to participate in the “War on Terror”.

But you may not know that the “state militias” have extended their reach far beyond the Middle East.

* The New Jersey National Guard has deployed to Botswana.

* The South Carolina National Guard recently deployed in support of Bill Clinton’s war in Kosovo (yes, there are still rotations to Kosovo, Bosnia and Serbia, all invisible to the mainstream media).

* The Tennessee National Guard is “partnering” with Uganda.

* Two years after Lithuania declared her independence, she partnered with American military: the Pennsylvania National Guard.

* A Missouri National Guardsman was killed in Guatemala.

The Guard is stretched so thin bouncing all over the world that, when they’re needed at home, they aren’t there.

The culmination of this migration has been centralizing the National Guard and giving the Guard’s highest-ranking officer a seat on the Active Duty Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is a move that left James Joyner of Outside the Beltway baffled:

In a move that makes no sense whatsoever, Air National Guard General Craig McKinley has become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. …

The National Guard Bureau’s top officer is now a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A provision in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law Dec. 31 by President Obama, adds the Guard leader to the nation’s highest military advisory group.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff advises the president on national security matters.

Its members voiced firm opposition during a hearing on Capitol Hill in November as lawmakers pushed to create a seat for the Guard.

During the Nov. 10 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the six four-star generals voiced opposition to the proposal, saying it would create needless confusion and reduce their authority.

“There is no compelling military need for this change,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said at the time. …

So, the entire Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense opposed this move and yet it was made anyway? Why?

—Baffled, unless you have plans for those National Guard soldiers to carry out an important Presidential mission.
