so jerry's dead...

jerry ford , tricky dick nixon , george hw poppy bush , ronnie reagan , jimmy carter


so jerry ford is dead --like when reagan died , i say good riddance .--but unfortunately , this guy DEFINITELY carried serious secrets to the grave with him .

never a towering intellect , young jerry did have an admirable work ethic . he was a pretty good athlete at the university of michigan and reportedly turned down chances in college to play pro football for green bay and detroit , opting instead to earn a law degree at yale --the home of skull and bones btw --he then served in the navy during world war two and after the war launched a career that led to politics in 1948 .

as a michigan congressman , ford eventually reached the position of minority party leader in the house of representatives in 1963 and after the assassination of jfk in november of that same year , he was appointed by lbj as a member of the warren commission investigating kennedy's assassination .

at wikipedia we found this concerning gerald ford and the warren commission :

"The last surviving member of the Warren Commission, Gerald Ford, died on December 26, 2006.

According to Jim Marrs, author of Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy (1989), at pp. 466-67: many Kennedy assassination researchers consider Gerald Ford to have been the FBI’s 'spy ' on the Warren Commission. This was confirmed by a memo from Cartha DeLoach, a close aide to FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, in which DeLoach noted:

' I had a long talk this morning [December 12, 1963] with Congressman Gerald R. ‘Jerry’ Ford . . . He asked that I come up and see him . . . Ford indicated that he would keep me thoroughly advised as to the activities of the Commission. He stated this would have to be on a confidential basis, however, he thought it should be done. He also asked if he could call me from time to time and straighten out questions in his mind concerning our investigation. I told him by all means he should do this. He reiterated that our relationship would, of course, remain confidential. '

Marrs quotes former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, the only prosecutor to bring criminal charges related to the Kennedy assassination and the subject of director Oliver Stone’s movie, JFK: ' Ford [also] enjoyed the reputation of being the CIA’s best friend in the House of Representatives. '

According to Marrs: ' Ford’s name as a member of the Warren Commission was recommended to President Johnson by Richard Nixon. A World War II Navy veteran, Ford became the Commission’s most industrious member, hearing seventy out of the ninety-four witnesses who actually met with commissioners. '

Marrs reports that Ford ' also profited from his time on the Commission. Ford had his first campaign manager and former Nixon for President campaign field director John R. Stiles hired as his special assistant. Ford and Stiles went on to write Portrait of the Assassin, a book that presented selective evidence of Oswald’s guilt. '

Marrs claims that Ford used classified Top Secret Warren Commission material in his book, and that Ford effectively perjured himself about during confirmation hearings for his appointment as Vice President before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1973. Ford apologized and said that he had not attempted to mislead the committee. He was confirmed, sworn in as Vice President, and eventually became the nation's first unelected president. "

for his role in the coverup of the assassination of kennedy , jerry ford was owed a big debt . hale boggs majority leader (and father of future news reporter cokie roberts ), also a member of the commission , later said that the whole thing was crooked . he may have eventually paid for saying that with his life --dying in a mysterious plane crash believed caused when the pilot supposedly deliberately flew into icing conditions .


if we look at who kennedy angered while president , we get an idea of who his killers most likely were and how jerry ford fits in to the mosaic and who he was carrying water for as president .

First , at the top of the list of suspects, we've got the cia , and their anti-castro cubans --they blamed kennedy for their failure at the bay of pigs invasion of cuba .

kennedy his administration , deeply embarrassed by the fiasco of the invasion , publicly took responsibility for the failure --and then quickly fired cia director allen dulles and his main deputies , richard bissell and charles cabel .

kennedy threatened to "smash cia into 1000 pieces and scatter it to the wind" . he wrote an executive directive taking clandestine military operations OUT of cia's hands and placed all such operations--"black ops" --under DIRECT authority and oversite of the joint chiefs of staff --thus under direct military control and as we all know the president of the Us is COMMANDER AND CHIEF of the military .

this was a huge blow to cia --under allen dulles--who was a very close associate of prescott bush btw -- black ops had become cia's special province .

Second on the list of suspects are the cia's partners in crime --the mafia . the kennedy's turned on their father's old organized crime bootlegging business partners AFTER they had helped stuff ballot boxes for jfk in chicago in the election of 1960.

jack appointed his brother bobby as attorney general --bobby unleashed the justice department on the mob despite them also being in bed with cia in the drug smuggling , gunrunning and money laundering businesses and most importantly , the mob was helping cia try to kill castro after having lost mob casino and gambling interests in cuba as a result of the cuban revolution .

Third on the suspects list were the vietnam warhawks in the pentagon and their defense contractor cronies . they wanted war , not only an invasion of cuba , but war in south vietnam and the opportunity to loot the public treasury as defense contractors like halliburton are doing today as a result of the war in iraq .

vietnam cost taxpayers at lowest estimates , $250 billion dollars--and that's in 1960s-70s dollars that were still pegged at a value of $32 dollars per ounce of gold --not the worthless paper dollars backed by nothing but "faith" that we use today -- printed day and night , hand over fist by the privately owned "federal" reserve banks . today's ny gold fix was at about $626.90 per ounce...$250,000,000,000 in 1960's dollars , would be close to $5,000,000,000,000-- $5 trillion in today's terms . shortly before he died , kennedy signed an order later reversed by lyndon johnson that would have brought home 1000 american advisors from south vietnam followed by ALL american troops out by 1965--in 1965 after an american FABRICATED attack on american ships called the gulf of tonkin incident --president johnson used the FABRICATED attack on americans as excuse to massively escalate and eventually commit 500,000 troops to the vietnam war--just as bush would use a FABRICATED attack on 9-11 to launch and massively escalate a PHONEY war on terror.

Fourth on the murder suspects list-- the eastern wallstreet bankers running the federal reserve whom kennedy angered by issuing silver certificates --money actually backed by silver --the last president to do so --nixon as president would later take the dollar completely off of the gold standard --allowing the privately owned banks of the 'federal reserve' to run the printing presses day and night --issuing worthless paper money --helping destroy the Us industrial-manufacturing base --watering down the Us standard of living --under nixon the us continues and accelerates the policy that allows the already rich fat cats taxbreaks for relocating factories and high paying manufacturing jobs overseas --beginning the loss of Us manufacturing base-- "nixonomics" helps lay the groundwork for the highly speculative casino capitalism of the reagan 80's-- "reaganomics" --particularly impoverishing the Us middle class --but "reaganomics" was preceded by "ford-onomics"--the vetoing by "president" gerald ford of social welfare spending bills designed to alleviate suffering of the poor--the "great society" anti-poverty programs of the 60's because ford viewed these programs as "too costly" --but strange these 'fiscal conservatives' never seem to find war too costly---

-it was under nixon that the Us negotiated the secret deal in which in return for the Us helping them stay in power , the saudi crown princes stipulated that they would only sell oil to the world in Us dollars --dollars no longer backed by gold but instead artificially bolstered by being connected to the world's demand for oil

Fifth on the list --kennedy also angered the oil-garchs of texas and new york --"new york" meaning the rockefellers-- by threatening to cut the oil depletion allowance . it was , if memory's correct , a 27% tax break to oil millionaires and oil billionaires because , as the reasoning goes --every barrel of oil they pump out of the ground leaves one less barrel of profit available for the oil-garchs in the future --so they need a big tax write-off from the rest of us taxpayers to insure that they will continue to have the same rate of profit in the future that the oil-garchs have grown accustomed to while they go out and look for new sources of oil and continue to make obscene profits .

the kennedy brothers angered all of these powerful groups --and ALL at the same time --and paid for it with both their lives and the kennedy family continues to pay for it as recently as 1999 with the death of john kennedy jr , in a plane that crashed for NO logical reason --see john hankey's amazing , jaw dropping , eye-opening videoes "jfkII --the bush connection to the kennedy assassination " and "the assassination of jfk jr. " both videoes are embedded on this deskRat chronicles blog site .

but back to jerry . in 1973 ford was appointed vice president by nixon after nixon's running mate and vice president spiro t . agnew resigned and plea bargained "no lo contendre" --no contest --when faced with prison . in other words ,vice president agnew said "i'm not going to contest these bribery and tax evasion charges against me -- and i'll take a deal to avoid doing hard time ."

as ford was being confirmed vice president by congress , nixon was already being consumed by watergate --the break-in burglary scandal almost entirely based on nixon's lying , perjury , and illegal efforts to prevent an investigation into the nixon-men's burglary and bugging of the democratic national committee offices --an investigation that nixon feared could lead to the uncovering of "the whole bay of pigs affair"-- words nixon's staff member bob haldeman revealed were nixon's private code term for the kennedy assassination .




to keep from being impeached and tried , nixon is forced to resign about 10 months after ford's appointment to the vice presidency and jerry becomes both the first non-elected vice president as well as the first non-elected president in Us history. --a historic indivdual indeed !



just a brief look at president jerry ford's cabinet and we see young future neo-cons dick cheney as ford's chief of staff and donald rumsfeld as ford's defense secretary .

we also see henry kissinger as ford's national security advisor and secretary of state--a holdover from nixon's rockefeller connections -- and what else do we see ?

viola!

why , it's george herbert walker bush !

george hw bush , the son of prescott.

the same prescott who backed richard nixon's political career and led nixon to congress and then led nixon to the vice presidency and after jack and bobby kennedy's murders , eventually led nixon to the presidency .

the same prescott bush who was skull and bones "brother under the skin" with robert lovett--also known as "the architect of the cia" . prescott , who was skull and bones brother under the skin with the man in charge of recruitment for cia .

prescott ,who with future cia director under reagan william casey and prescott's son george hw opposed john kennedy's attempts to smash and scatter cia .


the same george hw whose zapata off-shore oil company was conveniently "drilling" for oil only 30 miles away from cuba in the exact same area cia was using as staging grounds for its covert attacks and bay of pigs invasion of cuba . the same george hw bush who publicly chided kennedy to "muster the courage" to try another invasion against castro .

but back momentarily to prescott, who for decades was on first name buddy-buddy basis with allen dulles director of cia--architect of bay of pigs and were old cronies from the old "hitler project" days back when the dulles brothers and prescott and the harriman brothers--business partners and in-laws of the rockefellers --all financially bankrolled and helped put adolph in power in germany--and of course made a fortune in the process--especially in the defense contracts when the war hitler promised to deliver broke out --but that's another story--or is it merely a connected chapter of a long long bloody and murderous saga ?

but anyway , first it's george hw bush , as jerry ford's ambassador to china in 1974 and then SUDDENLY , it's bush as ford's cia director in 75--surprisingly put in as director at cia--supposedly with no previous cia experience --- just in the nick of time to refuse to cooperate with those nasty house committee on assassinations investigations that were taking place and seriously questioning the cia's role in the assassinations of john f kennedy , martin luther king , and robert f kennedy --what a coincidence !!!

especially since george hw bush's name-- "george bush of the cia" --SOMEHOW , is on a memo from j edgar hoover written nov 29, 1963 titled "the assassination of john f kennedy"--and says that the day after john kennedy's murder , j edgar hoover personally "briefed george bush of the cia and captain william edwards of the defense intelligence agency on the possibility of the involvement of misguided anti-castro cubans in the murder of president kennedy" . and to this day george hw bush can't remember exactly where he was the day jfk was murdered , but thinks he may have been in texas somewhere .

whew ! jerry and george got there just in time to PRESERVE THE WARREN COMMISSION VERSION of oswald--a lousy shooter in the marine corps -- as the lone gun killer pulling off an almost miraculous feat of marksmanship that day in dallas in nov 63--a feat that the fbi's best experts could not duplicate--though they heartily tried ! --

it's strangely almost like that "miraculous feat" of flying pulled off by the 9-11 hijackers --though ALL their flight instructors said in interviews to the ny times and washington post that they were ALL lousy pilots and even said that two of the 19 hijackers were so bad they shouldn't have been allowed to drive a car, least of all fly airplanes !!!


but back to ford --as we look back on the cabinet of 'president' jerry ford , we also see nelson rockefeller as his vice president . nelson rockefeller of the standard oil ,now exxon rockefellers --a family of billionaire oil-garchs fat off an oil depletion allowance if ever there was one .

it went sort of like this : kissinger-- a rockefeller family minion had brought in to the nixon administration as his military advisor 'general' al haig .

aug 8 , 1974 ford assumes presidency .

aug 20 , he nominates rockefeller as his vice pres .

sept 9 ,1974 he pardons nixon for ANY crimes he may have committed as president .

--the nixon resignation and pardon --clearing ford's path to the presidency -- was believed arranged by "general" al haig .

al haig may be one of those guys that no one knows exactly how he became a general.

his bio says he was born in 1924 and dreamt from childhood about being a soldier--yet at age 20 after two years at notre dame , he enrolls in west point --think about it ? --it's 1944 --the Us is at war --jerry ford , richard nixon , john kennedy george hw bush --even henry kissinger who wasn't even born in america , are ALL serving in the Us military --yet according to his official bio , al haig who from childhood dreamt of being a soldier --is 20 years old but not in the military ? something 's sounds rotten in the cotton .

haig then spends the next three years at west point serves in korea leads a batallion in vietnam . he rises like a meteor up the military ladder to 4 star general and commander of nato forces--at least that's what the official bio says...

the late colonel fletcher prouty--a REAL colonel worked as military liaison between the pentagon and cia --he was played by donald southerland in oliver stone's movie jfk --prouty said that the cia had so thoroughly infiltrated the Us government the media the business world and the military that there were guys walking around in uniform with general's insignia who never served a day--their records were kept in false files and cia paid their salary by secretly reimbursing the military for any funds paid out to these cia generals --to illustrate his point , prouty related an incident when the ranking head of the airforce called him up one day and complained that he did not know several of the men on the list that he was being required to promote to general--and that no one he knew knew of these men or could recall ever having served with them --prouty nicknamed these men the 'secret team' one day they hold military credentials the next day they hold diplomatic credentials or they are a banker at a mega-corporation or a senior editor at the network evening news . he hinted that a high profile 'general' that most americans have heard of who also later served as high ranking Us diplomat was one of these "cia generals".

" Haig moved into the spotlight and controversy when President Nixon promoted him over some 240 more senior officers to be a four-star general and the Army's vice-chief of staff. Nixon's action to push Haig into the military's front rank was consonant with the effort to get the ' President's men ' into positions of authority in various federal agencies. However, he was soon to return to the White House, serving as special assistant to the president in 1973-1974. In the months after the Watergate break-in, Haig, once termed ' the ultimate professional, ' played a vital role for a beleaguered President Nixon. It is not coincidental that Haig was instrumental in the negotiations leading to Nixon's resignation in August 1974 and to Gerald Ford's accession to the presidency. Soon afterwards, Haig was named commander-in-chief, United States European Command, and supreme allied commander. He spent the next five years at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ",

daniel schor on npr today-- just moments ago --as i was typing this post-- said that when gerald ford assumed the vice presidency that nixon told ford that john connally would receive nixon's support for president at the end of the term and not ford --this is a bombshell if you have seen john hankey's video "jfkII --the bush connection to the kennedy assassination" because hankey devotes the time to explore WHY nixon --a republican --brought john connally --former democratic goveror of texas into his cabinet when nixon became president

john connally



--from wikipedia:

"Republican President Richard Nixon appointed Connally, a Democrat, as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1971. That year he famously told a delegation of Europeans worried about exchange rate fluctuations that the dollar is 'our currency, but your problem.' [1] He served as secretary until 1972.

In 1973, when Lyndon Baines Johnson died, Connally took part in eulogizing his old friend during burial services, along with the minister who officiated the services, Rev. Billy Graham. Millions around the world viewed Connally's eulogy as the most famous moment of the four days that marked the death and state funeral of LBJ, because it was a reminder that he was wounded in the assassination that made his mentor and fellow Texan president.

Later in 1973, he joined the Republican party. When Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned that same year, Connally was one of Richard Nixon's top choices for vice president. However, Nixon ultimately chose Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., the House Minority Leader from Michigan, probably because he knew that the moderate Ford could be easily confirmed by both houses of Congress whereas Connally would run into liberal Democratic opposition."

according to hankey everybody on nixon's staff was "flabbergasted" as to why he brought connally on board as part of his cabinet .

connally once an aide to congressman lyndon johnson , was the one who lured jfk to texas nov 63 , held his hand as he led kennedy into the kill zone and even took bullets himself by sitting in the seat in front of kennedy in the limo that day .

connally told one story while in the hospital about what he saw during the assassination and told another story later testifying before assassination investigators --watch the video and see for your self ---

hankey quoting nixon's staffer bob haldeman also says that it WAS john connally who INSISTED that george hw bush be given a white house job before him --even though it is now common knowledge connally despised george hw bush--is it in part because of the bullet wounds connally took from shooters bush and e howard hunt were helping supervise in dallas that day?


according to hankey's research , it was bush who then brought his co-worker , cia assassin , bay of pigs supervisor , soon to be WATERGATE BURGLAR-- e howard hunt into the nixon whitehouse .


hankey asserts that nixon paid hunt $2 million dollars to keep hunt quiet after hunt went to jail for watergate --well nixon didn't actually pay hunt himself--he merely authorized the payments --hankey says the money came from bill liedke--george herbert walker bush's oldest business partner in zapata offshore oil --the same bill liedke who stepped aside and let bush have sole ownership of zapata when cia needed bush's oil platforms and island locations 30 miles from cuba for drug smuggling , listening posts into latin america and as staging areas for the bay of pigs invasion .

what we see today in these "tributes" to jerry ford are continuations of 'national security ' state cover ups at the highest levels that stem from the successful coup d'etat that took place in november 63 -- jerry ford said he pardoned nixon because the nation could not be governed with nixon being dragged from courtroom to courtroom on national tv --you damm right-- because nixon would HAVE to be silenced else he tell on his co-conspirators in the assassination of john kennedy--co-conspirators still today occupying public office and members of families comprising the "who's who" of america --co-conspirators still busy at work putting dictators into power and then going to war against those same dictators--in the name of "spreading democracy" and /or FABRICATING false flag attacks against the Us in order to go to war against "terrorists" and in the process , looting the public treasury with lucrative defense contracts.

as marine corp general smedley butler would say , the same man who went up against these same families back in the 30's when they tried and failed to recruit him to lead the fascist Us coup d'etat plot known as the "wallstreet putsch" --a plot whose goal was to install a government in the Us modeled on the fascist governments of 1930's europe , and in the process curtail Us freedoms --he would say , "war is a racket".

'president' jerry ford who died yesterday , served for years in congress on defense appropriations sub committes , served on the warren commission , served as the pardon man to blatant murdering criminals nazis and fascists , was coverup man and pardon man for the unpardonable and served most of all as water carrier for those "who's who" families and their sordid war racket .
