Connections Between E.T. Technology, the H-Bomb and Fusion Power?

Part 1: The story of Dr. Hannes Alfven

While reading the so-called Majestic (MJ-12) UFO documents, I came across the name of Hannes Alfven in an alleged CIA report from 1950, titled Analysis of the [censored] Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology. I had never heard of Alfven before so I did some quick research and learned that 20 years later this electrical engineer won the 1970 Nobel physics prize, at the age of 62. Before receiving the Nobel, he had been for decades considered an unorthodox scientist and found great difficulty in getting his papers published in major science journals. Alfven's vindication in 1970 inspired jealousy in scientists who hitherto had greater academic stature in physics than he.

I'm not a scientist or even close to it, but I'll attempt to describe the discovery in physics for with he won the Nobel. Alfven was the discoverer of the phenomenon of Magnetohydrodynamics, or MHD. In the simplest terms possible, it is the effects of magnetic fields on a rotating conductive liquid or liquid metal (such as mercury, or the liquid iron outer-core of the Earth). In short, such a conductive liquid can actually store energy obtained from induced magnetic fields and use it later - a virtually weightless electric "fuel", when applied to propulsion (of UFOs?). Imagine a theoretical aircraft motor consisting of a torus (donut shaped metal tube) with mercury rotating inside it. Microwave generators or laser beams on the ground would be used to induce magnetic fields into the mercury, adding more potential energy into the system, with the motor acting as a powerful battery to store the energy until needed. In addition, the motor generates its own magnetic field which feeds back into the system, creating a dynamo effect. Theoretically, the resulting ionization of the air surrounding the craft would create enough lift for flight. The plot of Tom Clancy's novel Hunt for Red October revolves around a Russian submarine powered by a similar motor, using liquid helium instead of mercury. For a much more lucid explanation of magnetohydrodynamics, read the wikepedia article on MHD.

The partially censored 1950 CIA report discusses "ULATT Exploitation" - Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology Transfer Exploitation. In other words, the military and commercial uses of extraterrestrial technological materials which had been recovered by the Army/Air Force. To read the whole report click here. In the "discussion" section it goes into an analysis on the aerodynamics and possible modes of propulsion of the recovered UFOs. It speculated that a type of fusion reaction propulsion using a vortex of liquid acted upon by magnetic fields. In a paragraph near the bottom of the document it mentions Dr Alfven:


(4.) "Dr Hannes Alfven has been consulted due to his work in electrically conductive fluids in magnetic fields. Analysis of the the fusion reactor and the surface tension qualities of the outer skin of the aerodyne suggested that the craft moved through the air by means of [censored]. It is believed that the craft travels through space by means of ionizing plasma and the planet's magnetic lines of force flowing into the atmosphere. This may help explain how the fusion reactor can function in a space environment"


Hannes Alfven, one of the greatest scientists in the field of plasma physics, was born in Sweden in 1908. In 1934 he received his Ph.D from Uppsala University on the thesis of Investigations of the Ultra-Short Magnetic Waves. After several years teaching physics at Uppsala and the Nobel Institute For Physics, he became, in 1940, professor of electromagnetic theory at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and five years later was promoted to the Chair of Electronics/Plasma Physics. Due to skepticism or lack of understanding on the part of the major science journals, Alfven had few major papers published aside from his landmark 1942 paper on Magnetohydrodynamics in the journal Nature. Despite ridicule from mainstream astrophysicists, most of his early theories on electromagnetism in outer space have since been proven - yet still meeting fierce resistance because of Alfven's (and later plasma physicists') criticisms of Einstein's Special and General Relativity, and for his outspoken views against the Big Bang Theory and Black Holes, based on his plasma cosmological model . To make matters worse, in the eyes of his peers, he thought gravity (as an attracting force only) as being merely a mathematical representation of the the observable universe. The force which mainstream physics dubs "gravity" was to Alfven the physical manifestation of the electromagnetic force, the infinite interactions of attracting/repelling free electrons and ions (plasma) which comprise over 99% of the observable mass in the universe. To put it crudely, according to the plasma cosmological model gravity effects are actually the balancing-out of positive and negative electrical charges - on a Universal scale.

In the late-1940s, according to the previously cited 1950 CIA report, Alfven worked as a consultant to the U.S. Government in the scientific investigation of propulsion units from UFOs recovered by the the Army between 1941 and 1948. In other leaked MJ-12 reports, scientists speculated that the propulsion units generate power from the fusion of hydrogen into helium nuclei, by means of magnetic fields. We'll look much more closely at that subject later.

In 1950 Alfven garnered the attention of astrophysicists with his book Cosmical Electrodynamics. One the tenets of his cosmological model holds that electricity follows the same physical laws in outer space as it does on Earth: If a closed circuit exists, a conductor influenced by a magnetic field will produce an electric current. According to Alfven and plasma theory in general, electric circuits created by plasma/magnetic field interaction pervade the universe, all connecting in a gargantuan web of electrical currents.

Read other "Top Secret Majic" documents at majesticdocuments.com. That website is making a serious effort to authenticate all of the supposed leaked majestic documents in its possession. It rates the chance of the 1950 CIA report being authentic as "moderate". Anyone interested in the subject of crashed UFOs and the U.S. military utilization of alien technology will be well-rewarded by visiting the site. The more I read the reports, the more authentic they appear to be, complete with blacked-out sections and stamps and counter-signatures. They are loaded with information not necessarily pertaining to UFOs, merely making oblique references to the subject. The large amount of minutia contained in the reports makes me wonder why a hoaxer would bother including it. He or she would require a vast amount of knowledge in several branches of science, and of politics, military procedure and government document formats to make the reports look real.


Part 2: Timeline of crashed UFO recoveries (1941-1954), based on available MJ-12 documents:
CLICK HERE TO READ THE MEMOS AND REPORTS LISTED BELOW

Spring(?), 1941: Cape Girardeau, Missouri...see note below**

Feb. 1942: In a memo from President Roosevelt to General George Marshall, Roosevelt writes of "...finding practical uses for the atomic secrets learned from celestial devices..."

Mar. 1942: Memo from Marshall to Roosevelt: "...It was learned by Army G2 that Rear Admiral Anderson recovered an unidentified airplane off the coast of California with no bearing on conventional explanation... This Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources they are in all probability of interplanetary origin."

Feb. 1944: Memo from Roosevelt to Special Committee on Non-Terrestrial Science and Technology: "...application of non-terrestrial know-how must be utilized to create super weapons of war..."

July 16, 1947: Report from General Nathan Twining to Army-Air Force Headquarters: "As ordered by presidential directive, dated 9 July 1947, preliminary investigation of a recovered "Flying Disc" and remains of a possible second disc, was conducted by the senior staff of this command." Twining then describes in detail the inside of a "flying disc", everything from the typewriter-like keys that control the propulsion system to a 35-foot diameter doughnut shaped one-inch plastic-like tube inside the craft filled with a clear liquid, possibly heavy water (deuterium). He discusses Werner Von Braun's speculation that the craft propels through the atmosphere by ionizing the surrounding air.

July 22, 1947: Report of the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit: "...two crash sites have been located close to the White Sands Proving Grounds. Site LZ-1 [Landing Zone-1] ...was located approx. 75 miles northwest of the town of Roswell. Site LZ-2 was located approx. 20 miles southeast of the town of Soccoro, at Lat. 33-40-31, Long. 106-28-29..." The report describes "the five bodies recovered from a damaged escape cylinder" at LZ-2..."Several MPs suffered nervous breakdowns and one committed suicide. Ground personnel at Sandia experienced some kind of contamination resulting in the death of 3 technicians"..."The most disturbing aspect was there were other bodies found not far from LZ-1 which looked as if they had been dissected as you would a frog"..."Animal parts were reported found inside the craft at LZ-2".

Sept. 19, 1947: Report of "Project White Hot". "No one, without express permission from the President, may disseminate the information contained in this report or communicate it to any unauthorized person not possessing MAJIC SECURITY CLEARANCE."..."Several bodies were discovered...autopsy information obtained so far suggests that the occupants mimic the features of [orientals?]...the powerplant (severely damaged) [censored] neutronic engine [censored] Heavy water and deuterium (light hydrogen) elements appear to be the primary ignitor. A series of coils and heavy magnets connected to the neutronic engine via an oddly arranged [unreadable] of electrodes appears to be the motive force...The following elements were analyzed and found to exist inside the small neutronic powerplant which was found inside ULAT-1 [Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology]: (a) UF6 [uranium hexafluoride] in metallic form, (b) hydrogen-fluoride gas, (c) water and uranium tetrafluoride, (d) powdered magnesium and potassium chlorate...(f) U-235 in metallic form...(h) thorium isotope material...(j) plutonium powder." **The report makes an oblique reference of a recovery of a crashed "ULAT" in 1941 which provided scientific information utilized in the Manhattan Project (atomic bomb project). According to ufoevidence.org and other researchers, this crash recovery probably occurred in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the spring of that year.

October 30, 1950: Report of CIA Office of Scientific Intelligence: "ULATT - Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology Transfer Exploitation Program"..."Analysis of the Corona and Oscura Peak, New Mexico Wreckage of Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology" conjecturing on flight dynamics, power plant and propulsion, construction, avionics and navigation. "...construction methods are unknown at this time", "analysis of the fusion reactor..."..."travels through space by utilizing the ionizing plasma and the planets magnetic lines of force..." "Dr Hannes Alfven has been consulted due to his work in electrically conductive fluids in magnetic fields..."

Summer, 1952: Majestic 12 Fifth Annual Report: "Current studies in other-worldly visitations are in three phases: (a) Technology exploitation, (b) Interplanetary travel, (c) Cultural communication"..."...the ability to reconstruct the technology that may be eons ahead of us, the boost to our current efforts would be incalculable..." In the section called Nuclear Weapons Development, the report infers that MIT, in researching the minaturization of nuclear warheads, has been studying the micro-circuitry recovered from crash UFOs, and that development of similar technology was possible by the end of the decade. The section called Biological Weapons Programs is shocking, if true: "The samples extracted from bodies recovered in New Mexico have yielded new strains of a retro-virus not totally understood, but give promise of the ultimate BW [Biological Warfare] weapon". "...Los Alamos and Oak Ridge...are attempting to duplicate the water drive and plastic core elements found on the engine being kept at HAFB" [Holloman Air Force Base]..."The craft found at site L-2...what remained of the powerplant was examined and determined to be a magnetic drive propulsion powered by a fusion reactor of sorts."..."The second craft that impacted at site L-3...five bodies recovered, two of which were found in a severely damaged escape cylinder, and the remaining three were found some distance from the cylinder. Recovery and autopsy of the occupants are covered in detail in a separate study GRAY SUIT...ULATT EXPLOITATION/MAJESTIC SERIES 4..."..."On 6 December 1950, IPU [Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit] dispatched a scientific team to El Indio/Guerrero on Texas/Mexico border...Teams transport debris to...[Holloman] and AEC Laboratories at Sandia, New Mexico."...

April 1954: MAJESTIC-12 Special Operations Manual: "Extraterrestrial Entities and Technology, Recovery and Disposal". This amazing 32-page illustrated document, set in type, outlines the procedures and goals of the recovery, cleansing of the area, taking inventory, and disposal of a crash site materials. In chapter 4, titled "Receiving and Handling", this document gives crating and un-crating instructions on where you send the parts, or the bodies, and other material.

By 1950 the recovery of propulsion units from crashed UFOs had led to major efforts to develop military and commercial uses of fusion power. A two-prong effort developed in the early-50s: Project Sherwood, a secret military program at Los Alamos to transmute uranium into plutonium and tritium (H-Bomb project), and Project Matterhorn at Princeton University to develop the "stellerator" fusion reactor prototype, under the direction of its inventor, Dr Lyman Spitzer.


CONCLUSION: By now, we can see a definite link between recovered UFO technology and the development of the A-Bomb and H-Bomb, Biological Warfare research, micro-circuitry, plasma energy research, and fusion power. Of course, this conclusion hinges on the veracity of the above quoted MJ-12 documents. As mentioned at the beginning, the documents have been researched for authenticity and the chances are high that some or most of them are copies of actual government reports.

Part 3: Developments in fusion power and plasma physics since 1953:
In the time period of 1950-58, research in fusion power was still highly classified, particularly in Project Sherwood, which focused on nuclear weapons development using magnetic fields to generate hydrogen isotopes for the H-Bomb. Over at Princeton, Project Matterhorn was having less success with Spitzer's "figure-8 donut" Stellarator fusion reactor. By 1953 the Atomic Energy Commission's Director, Lewis Strauss, was nonetheless enthusiastic about the commercial possibilities of generating electricity via fusion power. Thus, Project Matterhorn benefited from increased funding from the government's Atoms For Peace program. Strauss' hopes were way overblown, but it encouraged further research in plasma physics. Project Matterhorn was the beginning of what soon became the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), which exists to this day. Since research in fusion power was declassified in 1958, the PPPL has made slow and steady progress in generating electricity with a controlled fusion reactor - their most recent reactor could generate 10 megawatts of electricity. The success of fusion power finally appears to be within reach - thanks in part to E.T.?

"They" Are Trying to Take Our Guns Away (?)

Despite the fact that the U.S Supreme Court ruled that gun ownership is an absolute civil right, those mean old commie Democrats and their dupes are still trying everything imaginable to undermine gun ownership. Read the shocking statistics below and see this erosion of our Second Amendment rights for yourself!:

Number of Privately Owned Firearms

The estimated total number of guns held by civilians in the United States is 270,000,000. Population of United States: a little over 300 million

Rate of Civilian Firearm Possession per 100 Population

The rate of private gun ownership in the United States is 88.8 firearms per 100 people

Number of Privately Owned Firearms - World Ranking

In a comparison of the number of privately owned guns in 178 countries, the United States ranked at No. 1

Rate of Privately Owned Firearms per 100 Population - World Ranking

In a comparison of the rate of private gun ownership in 179 countries, the United States ranked at No. 1

Percentage of Worldwide Firearm Ownership by U.S. Citizens

Approximately 800 million guns in the world are privately owned. With 270 million guns, U.S. citizens own slightly less than one third of all privately held firearms in the world.

UFO Secrets and the Deaths of Marilyn Monroe and JFK


There are at least a dozen variations on the theme of conspiracy in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but the weirdest one is the theory that Kennedy was killed because he had revealed the nation's most important UFO secrets to his erstwhile lover Marilyn Monroe, whose own death in 1962 is still a mystery to many people. The actual story is more complicated than that, and more interesting.

Part 1: CIA Background Information

The best place to begin this story is probably with three men in the Central Intelligence Agency who had access to the United States' most sensitive secrets: Allen Dulles, General Charles P. Cabell, and James J Angleton. All three were heavily involved in intelligence work during World War 2, and after the war they rose rapidly in the ranks of the newly created CIA. Allen Dulles held the most power between them and became CIA Director in 1953. Allen with his brother John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State made for an extremely influential partnership in U.S. government. The mysterious Army/Air Force General Cabell held the post of Chief of Air Force Intelligence from 1948-1951 (the relative lack of online information about him is amazing). In 1949 he initiated Project Grudge for the further investigation of UFOs, and later, Project Blue Book (the public version of it). In 1953 he became Deputy Director of the CIA.  James Angleton, charter member of the CIA, was the legendary head of the CIA's Counter Intelligence division from 1954 until his forced retirement in 1975. Angleton's job was to combat foreign espionage on U.S. soil and communist infiltration of U.S. intelligence services, as well as the protection of the country's deepest UFO secrets - at any cost. These functions he shared with his arch-rival FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, to whom Allen Dulles had granted the highest "need-to-know" clearance - at Hoover's insistence. Read Dulles' memo pertaining to Hoover.

All three were involved in the abortive Bay of Pigs "covert" operation in Cuba, with Dulles and Cabell more heavily involved than Angleton. Dulles angered Kennedy for being conveniently out of the country as covert airstrikes failed to destroy the Cuban Air Force and Cuban exiles floundered in the swamps of the Bay of Pigs. General Cabell (whose brother Earl was mayor of Dallas) begged Kennedy at the last minute to send U.S. military air support to the exiles but Kennedy refused, disgusted at the ineptitude of the operational planning which had left the exiles without sufficient ammunition or air support in the first place. Kennedy took public blame for the failure, but most could see that the top echelon of the CIA would have to go.  Kennedy waited his famous "decent interval" (7 months) before firing Dulles, Cabell and Richard Bissell.

Even before the Bay of Pigs debacle in April 1961, Dulles had been disturbed by Kennedy's keen interest to be fully briefed on the UFO situation. Many years before, according to an alleged government report from 1947, the young Congressman Kennedy became privy to information about the famous "Roswell" incident of July 1947. If the report is reliable, Kennedy came to the White House with wide-open eyes on the subject, and soon after his inauguration in January 1961, insisting to Director Dulles that as President of the United States he was authorized to be informed about any and all government secrets and covert intelligence operations, including what was euphemistically called Psychological Operations (which included propaganda and disinformation aimed at the Soviets, discrediting or intimidating UFO witnesses, even detaining uncooperative citizens without charge- in the name of National Security).  From an internal CIA report supposedly obtained from James Angleton's private files soon after his death in 1987: September 1961 (?), The Director of the CIA [MJ-1] writes to other members of MJ-12 that "As you must know, LANCER [Kennedy's Secret Service code name] has made some inquiries regarding our activities which we cannot allow. Please submit your views no later than October. Your action [in] this matter is critical to the continuation of the group. Although the exact date and Allen Dulles' name are missing from the report, it is unlikely to have been written by his successor, John McCone, who reportedly had a close relationship with President Kennedy. However, McCone had been Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission in the late-1950s, hence he must have had a very high security clearance and probably knew more details about UFOs and aliens than Kennedy.

After the failure in Cuba, Kennedy issued a string of National Security Action Memoranda which devastated the CIA; henceforth, the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon - not the CIA - would have the final say on all covert operations (click here for detailed info on these subjects). Dulles and Cabell knew that their careers were doomed. Angleton somehow managed to retain his job, despite the fact that the New York Times had made a mockery of the pre-invasion security with stories about Cuban exiles planning to overthrow Fidel Castro.

On June 28, 1961, Kennedy "requested" from Dulles a summary of MJ-12 Psychological Operations - MJ12 being the super secret high-level government department that knew all the secrets about UFOs and aliens recovered and studied by the U.S. Government - the secrets that had to be kept no matter what (even from certain Presidents). In the same document linked above, Dulles insinuates that the only time a president must be informed about alien beings is if the aliens are a threat to National Security, or if they put on a public display and can no longer be debunked. On November 5, just before Dulles left the CIA, he responded to Kennedy's June 28 request with an astounding statement near the end of his memo: "For reasons of security, I cannot divulge pertinent data on some of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities which have been deemed properly classified under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954." 


 Part 2: UFOs, MM and JFK
The sexual affair between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy is well documented. Prior to 1962, Monroe and Kennedy had met twice - at public functions. In February 1962 Marilyn, at the invitation of Kennedy's sister Pat, attended a dinner party in honor of the president in New York City, where Kennedy asked Monroe for her phone number and she gladly gave it to him, beginning their short-lived affair. Monroe was friends with Robert Kennedy but contrary to rumor the two never shared a sexual relationship.  According to a book by ex-FBI Deputy Director William Sullivan, FBI wiretaps ordered by J. Edgar Hoover had failed to find evidence of any sexual indiscretions on Robert's part.

As the spring of 1962 progressed, Monroe's access to the Kennedy brothers had dwindled; the political ramifications of the Kennedys' relationship with Monroe being publicly exposed was only too obvious. Hoover - well-documented as a political blackmailer - had already made it clear to the Kennedys that he would leak damaging personal information about them to the media if he ever felt that his position as FBI Director was being threatened.  Political realist Robert heeded Hoover's words, but John continued his affairs with various women, apparently believing that in personal matters like sex, as president he was immune from media exposure.

Marilyn Monroe, depressed and feeling abandoned by the Kennedys, took to drinking and drugging even more heavily than usual. A highly reliable CIA memo from August 3 1962 - signed by James Angleton - describes the results of recent government wiretaps on Monroe's home phone. Click here for a closer view of the actual memo, in which Monroe in conversations with friends like newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen discusses a secret military base where "things from outer space" were being kept, as well as government plots to kill Fidel Castro, information garnered from President Kennedy when they had still "dated" each other. Still upset about being neglected by the Kennedy brothers, she talked about her secret diary and speculated on the effect it would have should it be published in the newspapers. She also considered the possibility of calling a press conference and "telling all".  Monroe died of an alleged accidental drug overdose the next day, August 4 1962. According to the autopsy report, the contents of her stomach contained the equivalent of approximately 80-100 doses of the barbiturates Nembutol and chloral hydrate.


Part 3: The Assassination

The James J. Angleton Files:

Many of the CIA documents cited above were allegedly stolen from the personal files of James Angleton upon his death in 1987, the same year (coincidentally?) that the bulk of so-called MJ-12 documents began to began to mysteriously show-up in documentary film makers' and UFO researchers' mailboxes. In 1999 a researcher named Timothy S. Cooper began to receive MJ-12 documents from a secretive source who went by the name of Thomas Cantwheel, a self-described former CIA Counter Intelligence officer who worked with Angleton. In a letter to Cooper, Cantwheel claimed that he had been instructed by Angleton that upon his death, Cantwheel was to destroy any documents in Angleton's personal files that could tie the MJ-12 group to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. According to Cantwheel, these particular documents had been previously pulled from the CIA files by Angleton at the request of Allen Dulles, in order to protect the agency from embarrassment in the event they were ever leaked to the White House or news media. Cantwheel claimed that he had literally pulled documents from the fire as they were being burned. These fire-scorched documents - original watermarked carbon copies and stamped "CI" for Counter Intelligence - can be viewed here (pgs.1-2) and here (pgs.3-9).  A few last comments about Angleton: As Director of Counter Intelligence, Angleton - by definition - had access to every file in every intelligence agency in the U.S. Government, and maintained close contacts within the FBI. In fact, this poet/spy was a sophisticated, urbane version of J. Edgar Hoover whose power may have equaled Hoover's own. There is a distinct possibility that Angleton ran a secret false-defector program - run outside of normal CIA channels in case the agency had been penetrated by Soviet agents - a program which likely included alleged JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 and was allowed to return to the U.S. in 1962 with no interference from the U.S. State Department.


The Space Program and the Sharing of UFO Data with the USSR:
November 12 1963 - 10 days before the Kennedy assassination: Memo from JFK to CIA Director John McCone: "...I have initiated [censored] and have instructed James Webb [Head of NASA] to develop a program with the Soviet Union in joint space and lunar exploration...helpful if you would have the high threat cases [UFOs] reviewed with the purpose of identification of bona fide as opposed to classified CIA and USAF sources..." This rather mysterious memo, with huge black-out areas, goes on to say, "When this data has been sorted out,...arrange a program of data sharing with NASA where Unknowns [actual alien spacecraft] are a factor. This will help Mission Directors in their defensive responsibilities." What Kennedy meant by NASA's "defensive responsibilities" is unclear. A handwritten notation dated 11/20/63 states: "Angleton has MJ directive". There is no proof that sharing highly classified information with the Soviet Union led to Kennedy's death, but one can easily imagine the anger and disbelief that Kennedy stirred-up in the Pentagon and in the intelligence community.  Angleton, with an automatic distrust of anything Russian and responsible for guarding America's secrets, could not have like the idea in the slightest. That same day - November 12 - Kennedy allegedly had a phone conversation with the Soviet Premiere Khrushchev on the Hot Line, a call in which they discussed the dangers of confusing UFOs with missiles and inadvertently triggering a nuclear war. In a 2004 TV interview, Khrushchev's son Sergei said that such a conversation between his father and Kennedy did indeed take place in the autumn of 1963. Quoting from the alleged transcript - Kennedy: "Mr. Premiere, I have begun an initiative with our NASA to exchange information with your Academy of Sciences in which I hope with foster mutual concern over this problem [UFOs] and hopefully find some resolution. I have also instructed our CIA to provide me with full disclosure on the phantom aspect and classified programs [i.e. MJ-12]..." Here we can see Kennedy still pressuring the CIA to give him full access to all UFO data.


The theory that UFO secrets were responsible for JFK's death can be lumped into the general conspiracy category of "The CIA and Military-Industrial Complex Did it". It was just one more thing that tipped the scales in Kennedy's disfavor. There was a sizeable minority of average Americans who were virulently anti-Communist, who hated losing Cuba and hated the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The same attitude pervaded the CIA and Pentagon. But the "rogue elements" of the U.S. government did not need to take an active role in the murder of JFK. Like former Army Intelligence officer L. Fletcher Prouty once said, you don't have to order an assassination of a president, you just take away the security and let it happen.
 
Postscript
Of all the people mentioned in this article, Allen Dulles almost literally has the last word on the JFK assassination. He was appointed as one of the seven Commissioners on the Warren Commission, where he loyally looked after the CIA's interests and denied conspiracy to the bitter end. According to the 1989 book High Treason, the CIA records that pertained to Lee Harvey Oswald, which were requested by the Commission Staff, were withheld from the Commission until the Warren Report had already gone to press. In 1971, the shadowy General Cabell - then retired - went for a routine medical examination and died in the doctor's office.
