- Kennedy’s chances for reelection in 1964 likely would become minimal if it was demonstrated that
the Russians had fooled him, leaving missiles behind in Cuba – Larry Hancock, Shadow Warfare - Book: Shadow Warfare by Larry Hancock & Stuart Wexler: Paperback, Hardcover, Kindle
- “Right up until his death FDR persisted in the delusion that he personally was endowed with the gifts and the wisdom
to build a foundation for world peace through friendly relations with Moscow” – from one of Pawley’s letters - “I have reached the painful conclusion that if our present version of détente continues in the pattern of the past,
within 10 years the United States of America will fall under the dominion of, what will in effect be, a one world
government dominated by the Soviet Union following some ultimate conciliation by the US President who finds
that he has no alternative with our physical destruction. There is evidence that some US policymakers deem
such an outcome as a rational and perhaps the only way to avoid a nuclear war. It would indeed be the supreme
masterpiece of human irrationality if the United States were, out of fear of nuclear war, or in pursuit of a welfare
state economy, to allow an industrially inferior but agressive and expansionist Soviet power to achieve a position
of clear military superiority.” – Ibid - The CIA’s infiltration of the media = Operation Mockingbird
