DAVE EMORY -- JULY 5, 1992
Observations on America's 216th Birthday
 
[...continued...]
 
DAVE EMORY [continues]:
For many years on this broadcast I have been discussing the 
assassination of President Kennedy. It was an extremely important 
political event. It was basically a fascist coup in the United 
States. Kennedy had run afoul of many powerful elements of this 
country, including the national security establishment or large 
elements of it. And they ultimately took his life.
 
And the significance of studying the Kennedy assassination is to 
understand, first of all, that there is a continuity of covert 
action from what the United States does abroad, to what it does 
at home. Many liberals, and conservatives as well, accept that 
the United States and its intelligence system and military 
foment coups and set up death squads in other parts of the world 
-- the Third World in particular. But yet there remains an 
obvious blind spot that, if the U.S. national security 
establishment will do that to preserve its hegemony, and that of 
the multi-national corporations abroad, they will certainly do 
that here. And they have done it, and have been doing it for a 
long time.
 
It's also worth understanding the assassination of President 
Kennedy in order to understand that the core group of that coup 
were basically fascist. In "The Guns of November, Part 4", in 
*Radio Free America* [i.e., the *other* program of that name] 
shows #11, #12, #13, #15, and the miscellaneous archive show 
called "Lee Harvey Oswald, Edwin Walker, and the Fourth Reich", I 
go into the numerous Nazi connections and fascist connections to 
President Kennedy's assassination. In addition to elements 
associated with the Gehlen spy organization, the Nazi eastern 
front intelligence unit which was brought into the United States 
at the end of World War II, elements associated with the closely 
intersecting anti-bolshevik block of nations put together by 
Adolph Hitler in 1943, as well as domestic fascists, were deeply 
involved in the assassination of John Kennedy.
 
The people who killed Kennedy were explicitly fascist, many of 
them Nazis. But to give you an idea of just how extreme the 
political views of that coup group were -- a fellow named George 
De Mohrenschildt, who was one of the Oswald family's many 
"babysitters" in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. De Mohrenschildt had 
been a German spy during World War II. He had been arrested, 
although never convicted or even indicted as far as I know. But 
he had been arrested for spying on the Aranzas(?) Pass coast 
guard station during World War II. He was very close to Baron 
Constantine Mehdel(sp?) and worked with him. Mehdel for a time 
was in charge of all *Obfehr*(?) activities in North America -- 
the *Obfehr* being the Third Reich's military intelligence 
service. It should be noted that De Mohrenschildt's father used 
to call himself George *Von* Mohrenschildt, but when World War II 
broke out he changed it, because it was not fashionable to have a 
"Von" in your name. His father had managed the Bakuu oil fields 
for the Nobel family in Tsarist Russia. After the war, he went to 
work for U.S. intelligence.
 
But one of the other White Russian/Gehlen/ABN [Anti-Bolshevik 
Nations] associated people who were involved with handling the 
Oswalds, a fellow named Illya Mamantov, in speaking of George De 
Mohrenschildt (now bear in mind, George De Mohrenschildt was a 
Tsarist and a German spy during World War II -- a pretty ripe 
piece of fruit, all in all.), in referring to De Mohrenschildt, 
Mamantov referred to him as an Eisenhower Republican and a 
leftist, in the same breath. Kennedy was viewed as a card- 
carrying communist by the people who ultimately took his life. He 
did pursue a cold war policy in many ways, that has been a source 
of criticism on the part of many on the "left" of John Kennedy. 
They ignore the fact that anyone who was gonna be elected 
President of the United States in 1960 would *have* to have been 
a cold warrior. Otherwise, they simply would not have been 
elected.
 
Fact of the matter is, John Kennedy ran afoul of the national 
security establishment, and in a variety of ways:
 
He refused to provide air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion in 
1961. He then fired much of the leadership of the CIA, including 
Allen Dulles, who was CIA director and lied to Kennedy about the 
Bay of Pigs. Allen Dulles later served on the Warren Commission, 
supposedly investigating his assassination.
 
In 1962... Of course, that firing of much of the leadership of 
the CIA did not endear him to that institution. It should also be 
noted that Kennedy, in 1962, proposed joint space exploration 
between the United States and the Soviet Union. That was 
*absolute* *heresy* in 1962.
 
And later, during the Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy refused to 
either bomb or invade Cuba, and opted for a blockade instead. 
That greatly angered the military, who wanted him to use more 
force.
 
Kennedy, in 1963, was moving in the direction of detente with the 
Soviet Union. [He] made a very important speech at American 
University in which he acknowledged the Soviet Union's sacrifices 
during World War II. That speech made a tremendous stir in the 
Soviet Union.
 
In August of 1963, Kennedy signed the atmospheric test ban 
treaty, the first substantive arms limitation agreement between 
the United States and the USSR. That was bitterly opposed by the 
military. And what that did was oblige both the US and the USSR 
to stop testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, which they 
used to do. Because basically, nuclear fallout was being 
distributed around the world.
 
Kennedy also was working in the direction of a diplomatic 
rapprochement with Castro's Cuba. A *quid pro quo* had been set 
up: Castro, although a socialist, was also a Cuban nationalist. 
And he recognized that, ultimately, the best, the best thing for 
his country, would be to have at least a non-hostile, if not 
friendly, relationship with the enormous power to its north. 
Kennedy, in turn, wanted to move Castro away from the Soviet 
Union. So a *quid pro quo* had been set up. The Kennedy 
administration had set up a back channel, a back-door diplomatic 
channel, to Cuba. And Castro, in exchange for moving away from 
the international communists in his own circle, was going to 
receive from the United States not only diplomatic recognition, 
but Kennedy was going to take responsibility, on behalf of the 
United States, for the brutal dictatorship of Cuban dictator 
Fulgencio Batista -- which, in fact, was set up by the United 
States. This greatly angered not only the CIA, but the anti- 
Castro Cuban community as well.
 
And Kennedy also was moving in the direction of pulling the 
United States *out* of Vietnam. He issued National Security 
Action Memorandum 263 [NSAM-263] in October of 1963. That called 
for a phased withdrawal of all U.S. personnel from Vietnam by 
Christmas of 1965. And then four days after he was killed, the 
troop withdrawal was cancelled by NSA-273, and troop increases 
and covert operations were scheduled. I have read those documents 
into the record in their entirety. And in "The Guns of November, 
Part 3", an addenda to it, you can examine those, as well as 
hearing from Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who was in charge of 
joint, in charge of special operations for the joint chiefs of 
staff, and who drew up the report from which President Kennedy 
made his decision for a phased withdrawal from Vietnam.
 
Kennedy certainly was a cold warrior in many respects. Again -- 
no one was gonna be elected President in 1960 *without* being a 
cold warrior.
 
But all of those things greatly, *greatly* angered the military. 
And ultimately, they took the law into their own hands and they 
eliminated President Kennedy.
 
Typically, however, anyone who examines President Kennedy's 
assassination has to run the gauntlet of not only being called a 
"fool" or a "kook", but basically being, to a certain extent, 
personally and politically ostracized. Anyone who is willing to 
deal with the truth of Kennedy's assassination is gonna be writ 
out, not only of the mainstream media and culture; but in fact 
the "progressive" media, as well, dump all over anybody who goes 
*near* the Kennedy assassination.
 
During the recent furor over the Oliver Stone film, *JFK*, I 
would note that both Oliver Stone *and* New Orleans district 
attorney Jim Garrison came under fire from the "*progressive*" 
political community just as much as they did from the mainstream 
media and the government itself. Such publications as *The 
Nation*, *In These Times*, *Z Magazine*, *The Progressive*, *The 
SF Weekly* -- all of these publications joined together, and many 
of their pundits joined together, to dump all over Oliver Stone 
and Jim Garrison.
 
This is singularly unfortunate, because when any group of people 
chooses to ignore its own history, they do so at their own peril. 
And in many ways, *ignoring* the events of 11/22/63 has gotten us 
to the present situation. We experienced not only a coup, but a 
fascist coup. And the results of that coup are very much with us, 
very much with a great many other people, both living and dead, 
around the world.
 
Unfortunately, though, it remains a basic principle of 
"intellectual" orthodoxy that there was *no* conspiracy behind 
Kennedy's assassination, despite *massive* evidence to the 
contrary. And in particular, on the part of "progressive" 
political forces, Kennedy is viewed as a demon and somebody who 
basically, if he was killed [then] "good riddance to bad 
rubbish".
