EXCLUSIVE
- The Jericho Report
The industrial-military complex was stunned by Dwight Eisenhower's parting warning of its danger and power. Privately, though, many of the top military brass, who had seen cost-effective weapons procurement plans killed in favor of contract awards that were nothing more than political bribes and payoffs, were pleased. Their loyalty, at least for the most part, was to their forces - and they wanted safe, effective weapons systems, not shoddy cost-cutting that would blow up in their faces while at the same time lining the pockets of crooked campaign contributors. Many military leaders knew the difference between legitimate secrecy on behalf of national security and that "phony" political secrecy designed only to protect the guilty, the crooks, the extortionists and those who used the national treasury as their own personal petty cash account. When President John Kennedy came into office, there was mixed feelings about him. Many thought he was "one of them" while others dismissed him as a "showboat" whose so-called heroism was just political grandstanding. In the next few pages you will discover the serious mistakes Kennedy made, offending that military-industrial complex, that led him to believe he was about to be overthrown by a military coup d'etat. Instead, he was assassinated on the streets of Dallas. You will discover how President Kennedy feared a military coup led by Admiral Lyman Lemnitzer, a member of the John Birch Society and Ku Klux Klan - and Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, along with Air Force General Curtis LeMay, Army General Edwin Walker, CIA Director Allen Dulles and even Vice President Lyndon Johnson.
