Former Romanian intelligence chief Ion Mihai Pacepa’s Programmed to Kill. Lee Harvey Oswald, the Soviet KGB, and the Kennedy Assassination gives us a professional analysis of Oswald’s path to the murder of JFK. Here historian Kenneth J. Dillon and researcher Steven J. Dillon discuss the high points of the book and how its KGB rogue theory outperforms other theories of the assassination. But Pacepa was unaware of JFK’s lady friend Mary Meyer’s story and the Mafia role.
Kenneth J. Dillon and Stephen J. Dillon of Scientia Press discuss noted Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley’s The Evolution of Civilizations: An Introduction to Historical Analysis. New York: Macmillan Company, 1961, including Quigley’s methods and teachings about how civilizations evolve, with implications for the future prospects of Western Civilization.
On April 4, 1968, a single bullet from an assassin’s rifle killed renowned civil rights leader Martin Luther King. Many investigators have argued that James Earl Ray, the alleged gunman, was part of a conspiracy, and some have pointed to FBI or CIA. But he pleaded guilty and was treated as a lone gunman. A very few observers have suggested that the KGB perpetrated King’s murder. Now Kenneth J. Dillon of Scientia Press has devised a theory that shows why we should consider the KGB the leading suspect. See https://www.scientiapress.com/kgb-theory. Here Dillon is interviewed by Stephen J. Dillon.
New evidence and analysis suggest that Nikita Khrushchev and the KGB were behind the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and a Mafia sniper participated in the shooting.
Some observers have always considered the Soviets a likely suspect. Lyndon Johnson evidently did. According to the House Select Committee on Assassinations’ chief counsel, Robert Blakey, after the assassination the Soviets went on nuclear alert. Johnson assured the Soviets that the US had no evidence of Soviet involvement and planned no reprisals. He also ordered the suppression of any hint of a KGB conspiracy for fear that an outraged public would demand retaliation that would lead to nuclear war.1 The Soviets had a palpable, powerful motive: to gain revenge for the humiliation of Khrushchev and the USSR in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
Certainly, the idiosyncratic odyssey of Lee Harvey Oswald into the Soviet Union and a Russian marriage as well as his contacts with Soviet diplomatic offices preceding the assassination afforded the KGB many opportunities to interact with him. In a sense, therefore, the KGB is the elephant in the living room of suspects in this case. Yet repeated investigations have failed to turn up specific evidence that would implicate the KGB.
There are good reasons to think that the KGB arranged the murders of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, as well as of other Americans. Note: “good reasons”, not definitive proof. In each case, I will argue that We must consider the KGB the leading suspect (except that the KGB and the Mafia collaborated on the JFK assassination). This perception can guide further investigation that can result in the more definitive finding that the KGB arranged these and related murders.
First, I will explain how the KGB and Mafia have emerged as the prime suspects in the JFK assassination. Not only was this the most important and best-known case. New evidence and interpretation point to the KGB’s role in particular and have implications for the other murders. Second, I will treat each of ten likely KGB murders in summary fashion. Third, I will touch on factors that have hampered resolution of these cases for many decades. Fourth, comparing the cases, I will identify characteristics of the KGB’s art of deniable murder. Fifth, I will draw some conclusions.
Sekhmet (“The Mighty One”), lioness goddess of ancient Egypt, spread terror with her bloody rampages. Yet she became the protector of kings and a favorite personal goddess of millions of Egyptians.
Why did Egyptians have a goddess who required such assiduous and even obsessive propitiation? Why did other Egyptian goddesses play roles similar to Sekhmet’s? What explains Sekhmet’s dual nature as destroyer and protector? Why did Egyptians call her the Eye of Ra? Why did she originally appear with an oval disk on her head?
We now have good answers to these questions. But in order to understand them, we need to see why we should think that Sekhmet was Planet Venus. And that requires us to investigate a major case of scientific rejectionism.
There are good reasons to think that Earth has turned over on various occasions. But who can be surprised that this perception—so removed from everyday experience—seems less than instantaneously persuasive?
The good reasons include telling evidence in narrative testimony and correctly interpreted myths of the ancients, embedded patterns in ancient cultures that give evidence of inversions, and the insights and arguments of two formidable researchers. Now we can: add new reasons that strengthen the case; specify the approximate dates of four inversions; extend the theory to the five great mass extinctions of prehistory; comprehend that Earth is actually prone to inversion; and point to where to find more evidence. Understanding inversions helps us correct errors in interpreting past planetary and Earth science while providing clues relevant to climate change.
Based on his interpretation of ancient sources, Immanuel Velikovsky argued famously that Venus had emerged from Jupiter as a comet; interacted with the Earth and Mars in the second and first millennia BC, causing the Bronze Age catastrophes; and then finally settled into a nearly circular orbit of the Sun.
Three lines of reasoning support a Revised Venus Theory.
First, instead of the various unpersuasive suggestions that Velikovsky and others have made for how a cometary Venus could have emerged from Jupiter, we should consider the possible consequences of the immense gravitational field of Jupiter, which pulls toward it a stream of asteroids and comets, as with Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994.
Students have long struggled, often in vain, with the rules of Latin grammar. The structure of sentences in Latin seems strange to the mind of an Indo-European native speaker. Also, Latin’s heavy use of gerundive and absolute constructions: all those verbal nouns entail a very different pattern of thinking than goes on in modern Indo-European languages.
Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) was a noted historian, polymath, and theorist of the evolution of civilizations.
Born and raised in Boston, Quigley planned to pursue a career in biochemistry. But he soon shifted to history, to which he brought an analytical, scientific approach and a questing spirit. After receiving a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D in history from Harvard University,1 he taught at Princeton and Harvard. In 1941 Quigley joined the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, where he came to teach a highly regarded course, “Development of Civilization”.
A top secret Canadian intelligence report leaked in 2004 may provide the missing piece of evidence needed to identify the long elusive Anthrax Mailer of 2001. FBI’s theory of the case is flawed.
While confirmation is still lacking, we now have enough shreds of evidence to piece together a theory of the case that resolves key anomalies. In turn, that theory can point us toward where we might find confirmatory evidence. [Note: Many observers wrongly accepted invalid objections to an al Qaeda theory of the case. See the rebuttals to seven objections in The Anthrax Mailings Can’t Have Been al Qaeda.]
