When Did We Loose Our Country?

This series of articles continues to examine what the shadow government and the deep state are and how they have gained so much control over the U.S. government and society in general.

       When did we as citizens loose control of this nation? Some, like Ron Paul (L), has stated that it happened with the coup in 1963.* The assassination of our President by those in the CIA. Our research says that it happened earlier, in the mid 1950s and that they emphasized their control in 1963 by assassinating the President. It was meant as a clear warning to other officials in the future of what could happen to them if they got in the way of the Deep State.

*  Ron Paul Says The CIA Murdered JFK In A Successful ‘Coup’

       In our series from 2018 on the origins of the Deep State** we attempted, in a short series, to lay out what they were and how they operate. A short series turned into eight articles and they only covered 1946-1962. The massive amount of information we uncovered, just on activity in the 1950s, was staggering. We were told our conclusions on the assassination were dangerous and we ended the series. This was before the latest release of JFK files by President Trump showing the proof of the CIA’s involvement. Some Kennedy files are still being withheld. You can guess why.

    ** The Shadow Government and The Deep State

      In 1947 President Truman signs the National Security Act of 1947, creating the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council. The CIA is accountable to the president through the NSC — there is no democratic or congressional oversight. Its charter allows the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties… as the National Security Council may from time to time direct." This loophole opens the door to covert action and dirty tricks.

      With this loophole the CIA creates a covert action wing, innocuously called the Office of Policy Coordination, led by Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner. According to its secret charter, its responsibilities include "propaganda, economic warfare, preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti sabotage, demolition and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world." In other words, they will form into a covert government within the government.

      Without supervision or accountability and with deniability this Deep State began interfering with other countries around the world for political reasons, known only to them, and/or profit. In order to cover-up and mislead not only the world but our own legitimate (at that time) government. To accomplish this Operation MOCKINGBIRD*** was launched and continues to this day. It is the planting of Deep State assets in EVERY media outlet and film producer in the country with the intent on shaping opinion to fit their narrative, not truth.

  ***Inside Operation Mockingbird — The CIA’s Plan To Infiltrate The Media

      With the world being gas-lighted, they began a massive assault on what they saw as targets around the world. These are just a few of the main ones partaken in the 1950s.

• Italy — The CIA corrupts democratic elections in Italy, where Italian communists threaten to win the elections. The CIA buys votes, broadcasts propaganda, threatens and beats up opposition leaders, and infiltrates and disrupts their organizations. It works -- the communists are defeated.

• 1953 - Iran – CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.

• 1954 - Guatemala — CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.

• 1954-1958 - North Vietnam — CIA officer Edward Lansdale spends four years trying to overthrow the communist government of North Vietnam, using all the usual dirty tricks. The CIA also attempts to legitimize a tyrannical puppet regime in South Vietnam, headed by Ngo Dinh Diem. These efforts fail to win the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese because the Diem government is opposed to true democracy, land reform and poverty reduction measures. The CIA’s continuing failure results in escalating American intervention, culminating in the Vietnam War.

• 1957-1973 - Laos — The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections. The problem is the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an "Armee Clandestine" of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the CIA’s army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. starts bombing, dropping more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs dropped in World War II. A quarter of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves.

       After the election in 1960 the outgoing President Eisenhower had made his concerns about the Deep State known to the world in his farewell address. He warned of a behind-the-scenes shift in Washington DC that had “grave implications” for America.. He spoke of a group of unelected insiders that threatened to take full control of the U.S. government. He revealed a shadow government that had already taken over. "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist,” he stated. He relayed his fears of a rising force within the government that was taking over foreign policy to the incoming president and the U.S. government.

      What President Eisenhower failed to grasp is that it was already too late. We, at The American Constitutionalist, believe that the mid to late 1950s is when we, the people, lost control of our country without even knowing it. To this day many Americans don’t understand that they are living a fantasy wrapped in red, white, and blue. Can something be done? We will continue this discussion soon.
