Finding Our
Way Back to Truth by Following a String of Facts
By Edward
Curtin
“To lead you to an overwhelming question…/Oh
do not ask, “What is it?”/Let us go and make
our visit.” – T.S. Eliot, The
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

- If you find yourself lost and confused in a dark
wood, then perhaps following this network of knots
strung on a long string of dates listed below will
help you find your way back home, where the bread of
truth awaits you on the kitchen table.
As we
know, children love to trace, to connect the dots,
to make connections, but often the connections they
make frighten adults who try to ignore their points
or offer some ridiculous circumlocutions. Maybe we
adults are much like children in our desires to make
connections, but the thought of it frightens us,
even when we are already frightened by being lost
amidst a forest of propaganda. Suppose we could
for a while calm those fears and concentrate long
enough to trace through the dim glimmerings of a
faded pattern a clarifying story that would jolt us
into an awareness that could change our lives and
society. I offer here an arc of history that you
may consider tedious. Try patience. I could yell,
I could scream, I could try all the classical
argumentation and logic that comes “naturally” to
me. I could be a wise guy, amuse you, try to
provoke you, curse, sing a song, stomp my feet –
even write post-modern gibberish. As Andre Vltchek
says, it’s hard – I’m putting it nicely – to get
through, to have an impact that counts. We
desperately want to believe in a world where we
really are children and BIG Daddy (apologies to Burl
Ives) has told the truth. And yet we know that is an
illusion. Obviously I have reached some stern
conclusions, but I think the conclusions follow from
the facts. See what you think. Follow these
knots. They are a sampling. There are many more.
-
1957 – Massachusetts Senator John Kennedy
delivers a Senate speech in support of the
Algerian liberation movement, in support of
African liberation generally, and against
colonial imperialism. The speech causes an
international uproar, and Kennedy is harshly
attacked by Eisenhower, Nixon, John Foster
Dulles, and even liberals such as Adlai
Stevenson. He is praised in the third world.
- 1959 –

of Pigs invasion of Cuba – code-named the Zapata
Operation – the CIA discovers that the Soviets
have learned the date of the invasion and
informed Castro. Knowing the invasion is doomed
in advance, the CIA Director Allen Dulles
doesn’t tell Kennedy. When the invasion fails,
the CIA blames JFK who angrily says he wants “to
splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and
scatter it to the winds.” Kennedy fires Dulles.

to inform him that he’s heard gossip that a
Houston man, James Parrot, has been talking
about killing Kennedy when he comes to Houston
(JFK had been in Houston the day before).
Parrot is questioned and deemed harmless. Bush
tells the FBI agent that he’ll be going to
Dallas in the evening, though he fails to
mention that he was there the night before. At
1:50 PM the Dallas police arrest Lee Harvey
Oswald in the Texas Theatre and charge him with
the murder of Dallas police Officer J.D.
Tippett. A few minutes after Oswald’s arrest
and his exit out the front door to waiting
police cars, a second Oswald is arrested in the
theatre and surreptitiously taken out the back
door. Later in the day Oswald is charged with
also killing President Kennedy from behind from
the 6th floor of the Texas School
Book Depository. But the fatal shot to
Kennedy’s head comes from his right front.

its drug-dealing modus operandi, joined to the
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), floods
the United States with illegal drugs up to the
present day.
- 1967 –
Martin Luther King delivers his Riverside Church
speech – “A Time to Break Silence” – denouncing

On June 6 in Los Angeles, Senator Robert
Kennedy, on the cusp of becoming the Democratic
nominee for president, is assassinated. The
accused lone assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, was
standing in front and to the right of RFK. None
of the bullets from his gun struck the Senator.
The autopsy shows Kennedy was killed by a bullet
from behind and below that entered his head
behind his right ear. Sirhan is subsequently
convicted as the lone crazed gunman, despite
many witnesses seeing a girl in a polka dot
dress with a male companion, running down the
back stairs of the hotel, shouting. “We shot
him! We shot him! We shot Senator Kennedy.”

notices that these skilled undercover operatives
have taped locks open from the outside so that
the tape is showing.
- The
Watergate story is primarily reported by
reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who

on January 20, 1981.
-
1985-88 – The Iran-Contra scandal plays out as

had been hatched by the Hill and Knowlton public
relations firm and was a lie – a successful lie.
- 1991 –

exclusively on Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols. Evidence pointing to others involved
was dismissed, even the report of Air Force
General Benton K. Partin, the U.S. Air Force’s
top explosive expert, showing in detail that
explosives were planted inside the building at
critical structural points on the third floor.
- 1996 –
May 12. On CBS’s Sixty Minutes Clinton’s
Secretary of State Madeleine Albrecht says that
the deaths of over 500,000 Iraqi children as a
result of the sanctions are worth i1997 – The
Project for the New American Century, a
neo-conservative enterprise, three of whose

go on to serve in the George W. Bush
administration.

- 2000 –
September. The Project for the New American
Century releases a position paper, “Rebuilding
America’s Defenses,” stating that the United
States will not be able to enforce its will on

The paper introduces a new word to refer to the
United States of America – “the homeland.”

“rethink the unthinkable,” giving public notice
that the U. S. planned to withdraw from the ABM
treaty. He warns against “weapons of mass
destruction” and “weapons of terror” in the
hands of rogue actors. The speech closely
follows the reasoning of the PNAC paper of the
previous year in urging an aggressive foreign
policy. Cheney and Rumsfeld are in the
audience.
- 2001 –
June 22-23 Exercise Dark Winter takes
place at Andrews Air Force base. The scenario
involves anonymous threatening letters sent to
mainstream media. The letters threaten more
letters to come with anthrax. Judith Miller,
author of Germs, and a notoriously
deceptive Iraq war hawk for The New York Times,
participates, playing Judith Miller of the New
York Times.
- 2001 –
September 11. The terrorist attacks in NYC and
Washington, D.C. occur. The media immediately
starts referring to them as another Pearl
Harbor, a new Pearl Harbor. CBS News reports
that before going to bed at night George W. Bush
wrote in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st
century took place today.” The site of the Twin
Towers is first referred to as “ground zero,” a
nuclear war term, by Mark Walsh, identified as a
freelancer for Fox News by the Fox News
interviewer on the street of lower Manhattan.
Presciently anticipating the official
explanation for the buildings collapse, Walsh
adds that the towers obviously collapsed “mostly
due to structural failure since the fires were
too intense.”
- 2001 –
September 12. The New York Times headlines a
story: “Personal Accounts of a Morning Rush that
Became the Unthinkable.” Another headline under
the byline of future editor Bill Keller, Iraq
war hawk, reads, “America’s Emergency Line:

newly created Homeland Security and becomes in
charge of politically motivated terror alerts.

FBI eventually accusing government scientist
Bruce Ivins on little to no evidence, resulting
in Ivins’ alleged suicide.
- 2001 –
Throughout the first three weeks of October the
major media use the word “unthinkable”
repetitively, echoing its association with
nuclear war, just as the World Trade Center site
is similarly referred to as “ground zero,”
another nuclear term. A phony “anthrax” letter
containing a harmless white powder, postmarked
in St. Petersburg, Florida on September 20, is
sent to Tom Brokaw of NBC. The letter, not made
public until October 22 after the media’s
repeated use of the word “unthinkable,” begins:
“The Unthinkabel” Sample Of How It Will
Look. Judith Miller of the New York Times
receives an anthrax threat letter also sent from
St. Petersburg.
- 2001 –

outside the classroom in Florida on September 11th
he “had seen this plane fly into the first
building. There was a TV set on….” Problem: No

since it wasn’t televised live. Much later a
tape someone had made was shown on television.
- 2002 –
October 2. At the Cincinnati Museum Center
President Bush gives a speech linking Saddam
Hussein to the September 11 attacks and says
that “we cannot wait for the final proof – the
smoking gun – that that could come in the form
of a mushroom cloud.” He urges the disarming of
Iraq.
-
2002-10 – Regular color-coded terrorist alerts

March. The U. S. attacks Iraq based on lies.
- 2003-8
– Bush wages war on Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

detention, black sites, torture, spying on
Americans, the loss of Constitutional rights,
etc.
- 2007 –
February 10. Barack Obama, having been a U.S.
Senator for 2 years 1 month announces he is
running for president.
- 2008 –
September. An international financial meltdown
occurs. The government claims it was
unforeseen. The Bush administration bails out
the big banks and financial institutions.
- 2008 –
November. A seriously inexperienced Senator from
Illinois, Barack Obama, comes out of nowhere to
be elected president on a populist platform of
“hope” and “change.” He receives more backing
from Wall Street than his Republican rival.
Liberals and progressives go wild for joy. Hope
and change is proclaimed.
- 2009 –
Lawrence Summers, former CEO of Goldman Sachs,
takes up his position as head of Obama’s
economic team. Timothy Geithner, former head of
the New York Federal Reserve, whose father,
Peter Geithner, oversaw the Ford Foundation’s
programs in Indonesia developed by Obama’s
mother (who also worked for another notorious
CIA front, USAID) becomes Secretary of the
Treasury. And Robert Gates, former CIA Director
and George W. Bush’s Secretary of Defense
continues in that position for Obama.
- 2009 –
March. Obama meets with the CEOs of fifteen big
banks and tells them that “my administration is
the only thing between you and the pitchforks ….
I’m not out there to go after you. I’m
protecting you.”
- 2009 –

troops to Afghanistan, saying this “will bring
this war to a successful conclusion.”
- 2010 –
Obama vows to carry forward the Bush tax cuts
for the richest Americans.
- 2010 –
and ongoing. Obama chooses his drone war kill
list every Tuesday; says the killing of American
citizen Anwar al-Awlaki “is an easy one.”
- 2011 –
Obama and partners attack Libya and brutally
kill Muammar Gaddafi. Libya descends into chaos.
Hilary Clinton exults.
- 2009 –
and ongoing. Obama attacks Afghanistan, Iraq,
Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, etc. Does
nothing to stop the Israeli slaughter of
Palestinians. Supports and arms terrorists in
Syria and other countries. Engineers a coup
d’etat in Ukraine and supports neo-Nazi forces
attacking eastern Ukraine. Encircles Russia
with NATO troops and military exercises. Starts
a new Cold War. Maintains military commissions
and indefinite detention. Prosecutes more
whistleblowers than all previous American
presidents combined, but does not prosecute any
banksters or torturers. Charges Edward Snowden,
Thomas Drake, Jeffrey Sterling, Chelsea Manning,
John Kiriakou, et al of violating the 1917
Espionage Act. Acquiesces in the military coup
against the democratically elected leader of
Egypt, Mohamed Morsi and his subsequent
imprisonment. Spies on Americans and other
countries. Maintains a national state of
emergency and the Patriot Act with minor
adjustments. Prosecutes “the war on terror”
initiated by George W. Bush. Rules over a
technological, computerized war of killing all
over the globe and a technological, computerized
spying apparatus here at home. Spreads
USAFRICOM throughout Africa, killing black
Africans and undermining governments with
Special Forces. And does all this and more with
a smile. Then, before leaving office he creates
the fraudulent Russia gate story to continue the
new Cold War and to undermine any possible
cooling of US/Russians tensions under a possible
Trump presidency.
- 2016 –
Trump is elected President to the shock and awe
of the Democrats and their supporters.
Immediately, the undermining of Trump begins to
make sure he doesn’t follow through on his
promise to reduce nuclear tensions with Russia.
- 2017 –
Donald Trump, the new reality-TV president,
takes office and comes under incessant attack
from the Democrats and the main stream media. He
reneges on most of his campaign promises,
including reconciliation with Russia, and tweets
so many moronic messages that he plays into the
Democrats’ hands. Propaganda expands
exponentially as the game of personality
politics plays on. Meanwhile, the structures of
oligarchic rule continue un-abated, both at home
and abroad. Trump continues Obama’s war
policies, killing people around the world.
It should
be clear from this small portion of events over the
years that there is a connecting link, that there is
a bloody thread running through them connecting key
players and the obvious ongoing presence of a secret
structure that recruits its team to maintain this
oppressive system. To see it should be gutsy child’s
play. It is not an issue of either/or; we can’t
explain how we have come to this terrifying
situation of rule by a murderous, militarized
national security apparatus serving the wealthy
elites by concentrating on either individuals or
structures. People such as Barack Obama, the
Bushes, Trump et al. don’t emerge from thin air
(though in Obama’s case it seems that way, and some
have speculated on his CIA links). These people
grow out of a system that has cultivated and
nurtured them. They become spokesmen for the
secretive and powerful moneyed forces some call the
Deep State, the shadow government, the power elite,
etc. (The scholar Peter Dale Scott sees a hidden
link between the JFK assassination, Watergate,
Iran-Contra, and 9/11.) Spokesmen, yes, they are
that, but executive spokesmen; they are not innocent
victims; they are free executive executioners,
ordering death and destruction around the world and
threatening a nuclear holocaust. People and ongoing
structures are intertwined. Individuals count, but
so do structures.
We are now
living within a structure of non-stop and almost
total propaganda that individuals, with the help of
alternative structures of communication such as
alternative media, can penetrate and understand, but
only if they are willing to trudge through the
forest of history that will allow for context and
the connecting of dots. In the end, it takes desire
and work. There are no excuses when, at least for
now, the World Wide Web makes available so many
voices for truth. Many individuals concluding alike
can lead to change. Connect and be outraged. This
is the path to true patriotism, a love of one’s home
country and the world that is our home. We are not
lost children without a way out of the forest of
deception and fear. Follow the knotted string to
freedom. Add to it.
The
psychiatrist Allen Wheelis once wrote a brilliant
little book called, How People Change.
His “childish” conclusion was that they change
because they want to. Simple but true.
Edward Curtin: - Educated in the classics,
philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology, I
teach sociology at Massachusetts College of Liberal
Arts. My writing on varied topics has appeared
widely over many years. I write as a public
intellectual for the general public, not as a
specialist for a narrow readership. I believe a
non-committal sociology is an impossibility and
therefore see all my work as an effort to enhance
human freedom through understanding.
