This article outlines the CIA connections to the Washington Post, in part. Since two of the founders of the CIA, Prescott Bush and Nelson Rockefeller, were the big money people behind Nixon, then it is interesting to read of the animosity between the CIA/Post people and Nixon. This same group had embraced Kennedy.
Ben Bradlee at the Washington Post and Cord Meyer of the CIA, and their wives, had socialized with Jack Kennedy and his wife, often in the company CIA counter-intelligence chief James Angleton. They were called the Georgetown crowd.
Nixon was the Bush/Rockefeller answer to reaching out to the religious right. Nixon brought the Southern Democrats, who were religious conservatives, into the Republican Party, in 1968, in his Southern Strategy.
Kissinger is and was a Bush/Rockefeller man. So, when Kissinger is schmoozing the CIA-connected Katherine Graham of the Post and the Georgetown Crowd, that is the same Kissinger who led the CIA’s support of the coup against the President of Chile, to keep Rockefeller industry from being nationalized, in 1973.
Bradlee’s buddy Cord Meyer helped to kill Jack Kennedy, according to E. Howard Hunt of the CIA, who admitted that he helped kill Kennedy, on video, in 2007.
Hunt led the CIA’s Watergate break-in during the 1972 election.
The same people in this Georgetown crowd were responsible for grooming Kennedy and then killing him when he did not work out well for their interests, which is to say the CIA war in Vietnam.
Time, Newsweek, the Republic, and the Post are all CIA propaganda rags.
The problem described in the article is probably correct, that the elite preferred the elite Kennedy over the rank and file Nixon.
But, their lack of understanding that Nixon was their best chance to rule the nation is staggering.
What this article is really about is the political infighting that takes place over which man will represent the elite in the White House.
But, it is just more CIA propaganda.
