For instance, CIA wanted war in Vietnam and a whole world of undemocratic stuff more, which JFK opposed. Now the nation fights wars for profit. “Money trumps peace,” is how George w Bush put it.

Another example, JFK ordered racial integration of CIA and FBI; both agencies which lied to the public about their own roles in covering up the assassination conspiracy. Now the NAZI Trump and racist MAGA are ending DEI and as much progress as possible.
