Wait till the Kennedy stuff comes out. The CIA will be scrambling. Though, in
hindsight, though I was mad at the time sealing the records, I have a feeling
that if we knew then what we are about to find out, we might have had a nuclear
war.

I'm finally reading Greg Grandon's book, Kissinger's Shadow, which has taken
two years to get to BARD. It is informative and horrifying. It describes how
our present situation is a result, partly, of Kissinger's influence on our
foreign policy. I knew some of this stuff. Some of it is new, although I've
heard vague references to it. This is actually an example of what Mary and I
have been talking about. Back in the 70's, I had no access to the kinds of
information which is now available to me because of the internet and
accessible technology, so I only knew what I could glean from the mass
media, meetings, and perhaps WBAI, the New York Pacifica station. I have a
feeling I wasn't listening to WBAI at that point because I was angry at the
way they covered the "Babylift" and the aftermath of the Vietnam War. So
there's information about some of the things that were going on that I
didn't begin to know about until I began hearing it on Democracy Now, e.g.
the fact that the war could have ended toward the end of Johnson's term, had
it not been for Kissinger's interference. It's a terrible story. All the
folks who are mourning over Hillary's loss should remember that during the
campaign, she claimed Henry Kissinger as one of her good friends and as an
advisor.
