...it was more of a pivotal point in history than I think anyone imagined at the time.

This an excerpt from former New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, who brought the only charges against anyone connected with the assassination. It's from his book, "A Heritage of Stone".

"President Kennedy's program of deescalation necessarily had a tremendous impact on elements of our military-intelligence structure. From their point of view, we had reached a position from which we were close to military hegemony over the world, and this rich young man, this transient, was undoing it all by the systematic voluntary surrender of our military advantages.

The steady, ineluctable, course toward ending the Cold War placed Kennedy on a collision course with the strongest forces in the United States government. His course, if continued, meant the end of the long hayride of billions and billions of dollars of military purchases. It meant the end of the Pax Americana, the new imperialism which had crept into foreign policy at the end of World War II. It meant the beginning of the end of the dominance of the Pentagon and the CIA over American foreign policy, and, indeed over much of the domestic policy as well. It meant, in sum, the beginning of the end of two empires. one international and the other a bureaucratic structure internal to our government and more powerful than all the rest of the government put together.

But the empires did not end. As luck would have it, a lonesome warehouse employee happened along and, because of personal adjustment problems he was having, removed the President. Incidentally, this lonely man rescued from possible oblivion the most powerful warfare structure on the face of the earth."

memorable quotes...

"As long as the police carries out the will of the leadership, it is acting legally."

Dr. Werner Best, Heinrich Himmler's right-hand man in the Gestapo.

another...

"The government has an inherent right to lie to save itself when faced with nuclear destruction".

Arthur Sylvester, former Assistant Secretary of Defense.

....he might have added..."when faced with Terrorists".
