The conspiracy, they said, was centered in Moscow, Russia \u2014 yes,&nbsp;<em>that<\/em>&nbsp;Russia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was, in fact, the justification for converting the federal government to a national-security state type of governmental structure after the end of World War II. The argument was that a limited-government republic type of governmental structure, which was the nation\u2019s founding governmental system, was insufficient to prevent a communist takeover of the United States. To prevail over the communists in what was being called a \u201cCold War,\u201d it would be necessary for the federal government, they said, to become a national-security state so that it could wield the same type of sordid, dark-side, totalitarian-like practices that the communists themselves wielded and exercised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conviction that the communists were coming to get us became so predominant, primarily through official propaganda and indoctrination, especially in the nation\u2019s public (i.e., government) schools, that the matter evolved into mass paranoia. Millions of Americans became convinced that there were communists everywhere. Americans were exhorted to keep a careful watch on everyone else, including their neighbors, and report any suspicious activity, much as Americans today are exhorted to do the same thing with respect to terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They Killed King for the Same Reason They Killed Kennedy Amidst all the anti-Russia brouhaha that has enveloped our nation, we shouldn\u2019t forget that the U.S. national-security establishment \u2014 specifically the Pentagon, CIA, and FBI \u2014 was convinced that Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist agent who was spearheading a communist takeover of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[135,16095,1372,25504,11226],"class_list":["post-50695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberty","tag-cia","tag-jacob-g-hornberger","tag-jfk","tag-the-future-of-freedom-foundation","tag-us-pentagon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50696,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50695\/revisions\/50696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
