JFK FILES RELEASED
President Trump is making sure the JFK files will finally, FINALLY be released to the public after 60 years of waiting. Trump should have released the files during his first term, but he was talked out of by Mike Pompeo, who was CIA Director at the time. Perhaps Pompeo thought the public couldn’t handle the truth. The Republican neocon establishment and Democrat statists always talk about protecting the public, but what they’re really protecting are themselves by blocking awful truths that make them and their institutions look even more corrupt than they are.
Trump has changed since his first term. Two assassination attempts and endless law fare will do that. The public knows the Deep State is hopelessly corrupt and it existed even in Kennedy’s time. (It existed during Andrew Jackson’s time for that matter). Eisenhower clearly warned us about it.
The security institutions that are part of the Deep Sate have treated the US public as mushrooms. They’ve kept us in the dark and fed us bullshit. That time is over. We need to see the un-redacted files. We pay taxes to keep the circus in DC operating—we need to know what they are doing and what they have done.
I have long been interested in the truth behind Kennedy’s assassination. Some would call it “conspiracy theory”—but it’s not that. It was simply a conspiracy. Those who knew the truth at the time were either threatened into silence or murdered. The CIA was ruthless when it came to covering their tracks. The most ruthless of all was Allen Dulles, the CIA Director who was fired by Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs disaster. Allen Dulles and his brother were long-accustomed to wielding power in upper echelons. John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under Eisenhower. Allen Dulles was a diplomat in Europe and ran a spy ring toward the end of WWII. He was friends with many Nazis.
Allen Dulles may have appeared mild-mannered with his mustache and omnipresent pipe, but he was a shark—a cold-blooded ruthless beast. Allen Dulles should have been a suspect, but instead he was appointed to the Warren Commission and manufactured the ‘lone gun nut’ result he wanted. Oswald was innocent and was set up as a ‘patsy’ just as he said. For more information about Allen Dulles, I recommend the book, “The Devil’s Chessboard,” by David Talbot.
Another book I read recently was about a famous newspaper columnist named Dorothy Kilgallen. She was a bright, fascinating woman who became very influential and famous in her day. She was a frequent panelist on the popular TV game show, “What’s My Line?” A relentless bulldog of a reporter, she began investigating the murder of President Kennedy and she obtained an exclusive interview from Jack Ruby. Kilgallen was writing a book and she said it would be a blockbuster and blow the case wide open, but she also became aware she was being watched. There were subtle threats to her life. She died after visiting a male friend and reporter who many said was a CIA agent assigned to her. He put barbiturates in her drink and she died at her luxury townhome. It was a very suspicious death covered up by CIA handlers. Her book draft disappeared. A friend and confident who knew about the book died suddenly as well.
I recommend her biography: “The Incredible Life & Mysterious Death of Dorothy Kilgallen.” The book is well-written, funny and entertaining—and horrifyingly tragic toward the end. Many others who looked too closely at the JFK assassination at the time met similar fates.
Let’s hope we finally get the unvarnished truth with the bark left on. Then perhaps we can find see the Epstein files as well.

Philip K. Bell: Trump's tariffs are saving the American steel industry
One of President Donald Trump’s most impactful moves during his first term was applying 25% tariffs on nearly all steel imports. As a result, the American steel industry saw a revival.
On March 12th, he reinvigorated that action by closing the exemptions and loopholes that had weakened it over time. He was right to do so. …

ICYMI: “Trump’s tariffs are saving the American steel industry”
The American steel industry will be “reinvigorated” by President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs on steel imports, writes Steel Manufacturers Association President Philip K. Bell in today’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — describing how President Trump’s action to close loopholes and exemptions will strengthen the critical industry.
“The American steel industry, in other words, is going in reverse, primarily because of increasing imports from exempt countries and product exclusions. With global overcapacity soaring, foreign producers everywhere will take advantage of any gaps in America’s tariffs to find an outlet for their excess steel in the U.S. market.
The harmful impact of a ton of imported steel sold at the domestic industry’s expense does not depend on whether it comes from an ‘ally’ or ‘adversary’ country.
A stable supply of domestically produced steel is more important than ever to America’s national, economic and energy security. In the face of the considerable pressure likely to come to exempt certain countries and weaken the tariffs, the president has stayed strong and continued to put America first on steel trade.”

Reminder Q199 from 17NOV17
The world cannot handle the truth.
President Dwight Eisenhower gave the position of secretary of state to John Foster Dulles and the position of director of the CIA to Allen Dulles in 1953. It was the first and only time in history two brothers were appointed to head the overt and covert sides of American foreign policy.
