Conclusion to Hartwell Perspective on Government Conspiracy
by Dean Hartwell © 2007
It has been over four decades since the assassination of President Kennedy. At least two other government-sponsored conspiracies have taken place and perhaps others have as well. All of the three events described in this book produced policies that favored going to war and silenced politicians who tried to stop it, either by their deaths or by creating a political atmosphere in which no one dared question the need to attack others.
Some would say that this record of incidents leading to war is just a coincidence. If no one disputed the official findings of the government in each of these events, that might be so. But when evidence of government involvement piles up in case after case, as it does with the Kennedy assassinations and 9/11, we can call it coincidence at our own risk.
Despite clear evidence of government conspiracy, no government official has ever been indicted for any crime connected to any of these events. Again, it could be because no one within the government acted. But the evidence of cover-up in each of these cases by the official government authority should be enough to implicate government individuals. We simply cannot expect the government to put its own on trial, especially when members of the government planned and carried out the crimes for which they could be tried.
Indeed, the government plotters can even decide what jurisdiction will control the investigation of the crime and choose the one most favorable to adhering to an official theory. In the assassination of President Kennedy, for example, advisors to both JFK and President Johnson insisted that the federal government handle the investigation, even to the point of removing, in defiance of federal law, Kennedy’s body (for the autopsy) from the Texas hospital where he died. President Johnson called for the Warren Commission to write the official theory not long after he learned that Waggoner Carr, the Attorney General of Texas, was about to call for a Texas investigation. Strangely, there was no federal law against murdering the President then.
In the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the Los Angeles Police Department retained jurisdiction over handling the murder case as there was no federal law against murdering a presidential candidate then. Still, the FBI was allowed to investigate alongside the LAPD. Neither one did much to track down two suspects who fled the scene shortly after the murder and both helped put together an official story that declared the case shut down. The trial that followed heard much evidence that contradicted the official story, but few noticed since the defense attorney made several stipulations with the prosecution that made the evidence appear immaterial.
As for 9/11, the conspirators needed to convince the public that the airplanes caused the twin towers to fall. It not only tied in with the rest of the story, but the allegation established federal jurisdiction since the federal government handles crimes above the ground. Evidence of controlled demolitions from the ground, while plentiful, would have gone to a New York state grand jury, who might have taken a greater interest in the crime since its citizens were killed and because most of the plotters were likely aligned with the federal government and could not influence the state of New York easily.
The next major government conspiracy, if it hasn’t happened by the time you read these essays, will take on a new form. By now suspicion about the Kennedy brother assassinations has risen to the point where the shooting of a political leader would cause outright distrust of our political system if not handled in an open manner.
Airplanes will not be used again, especially so soon after 9/11. Passengers are now wise to the possibility that someone else on the plane could act to hijack it. Precautions have been taken to bolt cockpit doors so as to prevent a mutiny.
The next conspiracy may well be more subtle. In fact, it has been going on for many years. But to understand and to identify it, we must come to terms with what the conspirators plan to do. More than anything else, the conspirators need government stability or they cannot carry out profit-making wars.
They must keep an eye on anyone or any issue that could threaten this stability, which is why the Bush Administration has been using the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on United States citizens and why there has been an erosion of our civil liberties for some time now. But individuals mean little to these conspirators (they killed 3,000 people on 9/11 while pretending to protect our nation). They watch to make sure the masses don’t go in a direction toward serious dissent.
These conspirators have fixed recent presidential elections. Since there was no massive protest that could threaten President Bush, they’ll use that trick again to install pro-war candidates if they have to. Likewise, Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, initially amid fanfare. Though public opinion has turned against the President, it has not forced any change of policy. No matter what Bush does, no one is seriously going to suggest impeachment because the Republicans can still block it.
We are stuck. Though we may be a ways off until there are concentration camps for dissenters and police officers on every street corner, we are going in that direction. The wars we fight overseas make the government tighter on the people back home. Laws like the Patriot Act happen because of wars like the one our leaders say we are fighting on terror.
What can we do? Voting does little good because if we finally get a politician who is not bought off by lucrative money from war-related and other special interest groups, the election will be rigged against them. We could complain to our elected officials, but most have little incentive to advocate serious change like demanding an investigation of 9/11 that asks proper questions and targets the proper suspects. We could move to another nation but that means living business here unfinished.
Short of a violent revolution (which I think we should avoid), the only way to effect real change in leadership would be for those of us familiar with these specific acts of government-sponsored crime to expose them to the rest of the world.
It won’t be an easy task.
We don’t have a whole lot of media attention to help us. Books and the Internet will help us make our case. But before we can form a new network, we must understand that what is at stake is the very freedom that we once knew and the need to get the truth about any subject we wish.
By identifying ourselves as dissenters, we can form bonds with like-minded people and find strength in numbers in saying why we need our government system that produces these conspiracies to change. By sounding the alarm that we do not accept our government as it is, we will force the world to listen.
