IN THIS EPISODE~ Thanks to the "decidedly-NOT-grounded-in-Primary-Resource-Material-Study"-variety of books, blogs and movies over the years, our understanding of the truth of the dynamics between the Kennedy Brothers and the National Security Apparatus has become a bit...skewed...over the decades since The President's murder.
Sadly, many people newer to The Case are unaware of the truth of this dynamic. For example, some actually believe that "Operation MONGOOSE" was a CIA operation, or that Allen Dulles had a hand in "Operation NORTHWOODS". Or worse, that CIA placed Brigadier General Ed Lansdale in charge of MONGOOSE. Why? Because they heard an "expert" say it, saw it in a movie, or read it in a blog or book.
We will read and discuss Primary Resource Documentation regarding MONGOOSE, and take a Deep Dive into the JCS-proposed horror show that was NORTHWOODS, and look at (1) aspect of NORTHWOODS that seems to have intrigued the Attorney General. So much so that~six days after JFK rejected it~ RFK circled back with the JCS, to see if it might really work.
