If it included the words "Intelligence" and "Police," it would describe the USSR / Russia almost perfectly, wouldn't it?

After reading Weissberg's letter at the link above, consider the close relationship between Readers Digest editor Fulton Oursler and his wife with Asst FBI director, "Louis Nichols".

Oursler's subordinate, Editor Ed Thompson, was the son of Luce protege, Ed Thompson, editor of Life Magazine. Ed Thompson the son oversaw Epstein and Hurt. During WWII, Thompson's father happened to be editor of the USAAF intelligence "magazine" and was the most authoritive USAAF intelligence officer on day to day affairs of the Luftwaffe. His asst., Maitland Eddy, also of Life magazine, just happened to be father of a yacht builder who employed defector to the USSR, Webster, in his final years.

Fulton "Tony" Oursler, Jr, 84, of Nyack, NY, passed away September 18th, with his loving family at his bedside.

....He joined Reader's Digest in 1956. In 1964, he completed his father's unfinished auto-biography Behold This Dreamer. He retired from his position as executive editor in chief and vice president at Reader's Digest in 1986. In 1992, he joined Guideposts Magazine as editor-in-chief. Fulton was instrumental in the founding Angels on Earth, a magazine devoted to first person stories about encounters with angels. During his career, Fulton worked with many writers including James Mitchner, Cornelius Ryan, Charles Lindbergh, and Edward J. Epstein. He was especially proud of his extensive work on "Roots" with Alex Haley.....

Hurt tried to "muscle" Billy Joe Lord. Hurt was sponsored by Readers Digest after teaching in Kennebunkport and "falling under the influence" of Bush and his best friend, Bemiss, a cousin of Hurt's wife. Hurt's father-in-law happened to be the brother of Langbourne Williams, Jock Whitney's Freeport Sulphur front man.

There is no "deep state", it is a refuge of those too lazy or inattentive to pursue and sift through detail and an excuse for right wing extremist nonsense.

What there is are ambitious, greedy capitalists who prioritize pursuit of money and the influence it buys, over patriotism and ethics. Consider the men who have "fronted" for the alleged "Deep State" since 1945.
Hat salesman, former U.S. senator, Harry Truman
non-political soldier, Dwight Eisenhower
youthful, wealthy, former U.S. senator, JFK
Senate Leader LBJ who crashed and burned in 1968
Dick Nixon, who Eisenhower never invited into the White House
Unelected POTUS and former House minority leader, Gerry Ford
Former nuclear engineer, Navy submariner, Georgia governor. Jimmy Carter

Sorry, Tom, but you're full of beans.

Your proclivity to look for "connections" through 17 degrees of separation, or whatever, and your stubborn belief that the evil, evil, evil CIA (and the woebegone, duped-by-KGB FBI?) is the cause of most of the world's ills, tends to do that to you.

You've probably just read too much garbage by John L. Hart, Leonard V. McCoy, John L. Hart, Richards J. Heuer, Cleveland Cram, "Jumbo Duh," Jefferson Morley, David Wise, Tom Mangold, et al. ... ad nauseam.

My point is that Upton Sinclair had it right, one hundred years ago, in "The Brass Check". "Ownership of the Owners" is a treatise on how the advertisers control the messaging, to protect themselves from being criticized by the journalists who they pay a large portion of the salaries of. Journalists, even those employed by NPR and PBS because both are partially funded by foundations of wealthiest capitalists, are dissuaded from biting the hands that feed them. (See Gary Webb).

Webb was more a victim of "Access journalism" than he was by stepping on toes of advertisers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Carroll_(DIA)
Lieutenant General Joseph Francis Carroll (March 19, 1910 – January 20, 1991) was the founding director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the first commander of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI or OSI).[1]
....He was instrumental in catching noted gangster Roger "Tough" Touhy, which brought him to the personal attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. In May 1944, he was transferred to the Washington headquarters of the FBI, where he held progressive positions as supervisor in charge of bank robbery and kidnapping matters, chief of the Criminal Section, and first assistant to the assistant director of the FBI in charge of the General Investigations and Accounting Division.[1]

At the end of World War II, the U.S. Government was faced with the problem of disposition of war surplus property throughout the world. Upon special request from the administrator of the Surplus Property Administration, Carroll was lent by the attorney general and the director of the FBI to the Surplus Property Administration (later the War Assets Administration). In this assignment he organized and directed the Compliance Enforcement Division, directing all investigative activity associated with surplus property disposal. In May 1947, he was recalled to his former position in the FBI as an administrative assistant to the director of the FBI.[1]....
.....
On February 1, 1960, General Carroll was promoted to lieutenant general and became The Inspector General of the U.S. Air Force stationed at Headquarters, U.S. Air Force, in Washington, D.C. He remained in that position until October 1, 1961, when the secretary of defense, Robert S. McNamara, appointed him to his last assignment as the first director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, with the responsibility for controlling Department of Defense (DoD) intelligence resources assigned to DIA and reviewing the intelligence functions assigned the military departments in satisfying the intelligence requirements of the DoD. He retired September 15, 1969.[1]

This is written by a former RC priest, the son of Gen. Joseph Carroll. Gen Carroll happened to employ Declan Ford's brother, in the tiny post WWII Alien Property Dept.:

.....Upton Sinclair, for example, showed the rapaciousness of capitalism, the vampire-like appetite with which it feeds on the blood of human beings. Even with "reforms" ("The Jungle" led to the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration), the profit-worshipping economy to this day eludes controls that would protect majorities of citizens in this country and across the world. Sinclair Lewis, for his part, showed how the simultaneously banalizing methods of capitalist enterprise (false advertising, consumerism, pieties of affluence, amoral bureaucracy) are exactly what that enterprise created to keep from being criticized. ...

The two tortured political marriages of Richard Nixon
By BY JULES WITCOVER
JUN 17, 2013 | 11:15 AM

....But the account also underscores that Eisenhower had early doubts about Nixon's maturity for the presidency and how in his fashion he tried to ease him off the Republican ticket in 1956. Nixon's gritty determination not to be pushed aside finally won out. Also related is the thin familial bond forged by the courtship and marriage of Ike's grandson David and Dick's younger daughter Julie that never quite solidified. Nixon later made known that in all those White House years he was never invited to the Eisenhower living quarters there.

You cited Epstein. I think his record indicates he protects the FBI and CIA. I don't disagree Oswald's "diary" is suspect.
Oswald was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Weiss of his generation. The point being Huey, Carl, JFK, Oswald, and Ruby, all "hadda go"! Carl Weiss, in his time, "was introduced" by, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Zangara .

One thing in Tommy's favor is the "muscling" of Billy Joe Lord by Henry Hurt, at the direction of Bemiss, indicates there was enough concern about what was not known about Oswald among the elite of the mid 1970s political class, that they put themselves in position to be this exposed. The Church and HSCA investigations rattled them enough for Ford to not leave it at the farce "Commission" controlled by his unelected V.P., Rockefeller. Ford took the extra precaution of appointed the visibly unqualified Bush as DCI.

The background of the creation of the Federal Reserve:

Quote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Federal_Reserve_System#The_National_Monetary_Commission,_1907-1913
......
Prior to a particularly severe panic in 1907, there was a motivation for renewed demands for banking and currency reform.[4] The following year, Congress enacted the Aldrich-Vreeland Act which provided for an emergency currency and established the National Monetary Commission to study banking and currency reform.[5]

Fed Reserve.JPG
The chief of the bipartisan National Monetary Commission was financial expert and Senate Republican leader Nelson Aldrich. Aldrich set up two commissions – one to study the American monetary system in depth and the other, headed by Aldrich, to study the European central-banking systems and report on them.[5]

The grandson of Sen. Nelson Aldrich wrote a book. It helps to explain what we are witnessing in real-time... the second Federal Reserve bailout, (fool me once, shame on you,....) on the backs of adding to the debt burden on the shoulders of our grandchildren, to keep Trump-n-cult living in the style they are accustomed to. No "Deep State", merely the right wing control paid for by the wealthiest republican party donors......

Should we be impressed by these strung-out gossamer "connections," not unlike the mess of strings and thumbtacks in that schizo, dreamlike scene in ... "A Beautiful Mind"?

Should we expect (or demand!) that all Americans who are strongly anti-Communist and/or anti-Fascistic-KGB-MAFIA intermarry, do business with, and rub elbows with rabble rousing Plebes like you and I?

Why do you carry-guilt-by association to such ridiculous extremes (if, indeed, it IS guilt ... hmm)?

Sorry, Tommy.... you jumped the gun. I amended what you've quoted to the extent my point is lost, in what you've quoted.

People dismiss what they don't understand as "Deep State", because it's weedy. It's too much of a bother to exert the concentration and expend the time to get down into the weeds, examine the detail.

I was not finished. I presented a page from the book by the grandson of the Senator, Nelson W Aldrich, credited with drafting the legislation authorizing creation of the Federal Reserve.

The grandson came to my attention because of his several friends who were C.I.A. The C.I.A. is not "Deep". It plays by Trump's script, as described by Henry Breck, godfather of the son of DCI Bush's counsel, Tony Lapham, who also allegedly never served with CIA prior to Bush "bringing him on board".

Worked at the CIA

A memorial service for Anne Iglehart Sommers, a Baltimore native and former CIA employee, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Christ Church of Georgetown in Washington.

Mrs. Sommers died Friday at her home in Chevy Chase of lung cancer. She was 63.

In the early 1950s, she was a CIA operations officer for East Germany for two years. In May 1953, she married Frank Feldher Sommers, a CIA officer. They lived in Frankfurt, Germany; Vienna, Austria; Bern, Switzerland; and Vientiane, Laos.

Mrs. Sommers served on embassy committees and school boards in each of these cities.

From 1981 to 1991, she was an administrative assistant at the International Management and Development Institute, a non-profit group in Washington that worked with Fortune 500 companies and major corporations abroad.

Mrs. Sommers attended the Calvert and Bryn Mawr schools in Baltimore and graduated from Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

She is survived by her husband; two daughters, Wing Sommers Blake of Washington and ....


Not to be outdone, after her failed marriage to A1bert Bruce, Jackie's best friend Leigh married another CIA associate, ofParis Review:

Wasn't Jackie's sister married to Michael Canfield, adopted son of Evan Thomas's boss and Allen Dulles's autobiography editor, Cass Canfield, who paid for private security during Svetlana's "stay" at Kaintuck, with newly married Priscilla Macmillan?

And Tommy, didn't Charles Bartlett grow up on Jupiter Island, with Poppy and Pres? I don't think the CIA kill their own fair haired boys n girls, do you?

“The Brits were the most bloodthirsty of all,” said Henry Breck, Groton ’54, a CIA case officer in India in the 1960s. “Of course, if you’re in a real war you must fight hard — and the upper classes fight the hardest. They have the most to lose. …

Henry Breck s the godfather of bonesman Lewis Lapham’s grandson. Lapham’s son, Anthony was best man in Breck’s wedding. Anthony Lapham’s wife Burks’ father was bonesman Harry Payne Bingham.

Anthony A. Lapham was sponsored by bonesman David C. Acheson and then by bonesman George HW Bush.:

...Warren then said that A1bert Jenner of Chicago had been suggested. Warrem did not identify the source of the suggestion. ...Warren said that he had checked on Jenner with a number of people and they all recommended him.

Two of Jenner's references were mentioned by name. Tom Clark former Attorney General of the U.S. and active supporter in the Truman years of J. Edgar Hoover's anti subversion efforts, knew Jenner through their common participation on the Judiciary Committee of the American Bar Association. The other named supporter of Jenner was Dean Acheson, who had worked with Jenner on Acheson's committee on civil rights. Jenner came to the Commission then with recommendations from and past connections to one of the people involved in creating the Commission and someone who was at one time at least, close to Hoover.

Unfortunately, there is very little additional information on the selection of Counsel and organization of the Commission in the Executive Session transcripts....

Sorry, Tommy.... you jumped the gun. I amended what you've quoted to the extent my point is lost, in what you've quoted.

People dismiss what they don't understand as "Deep State", because it's weedy. It's too much of a bother to exert the concentration and expend the time to get down into the weeds, examine the detail.

I was not finished. I presented a page from the book by the grandson of the Senator, Nelson W Aldrich, credited with drafting the legislation authorizing creation of the Federal Reserve.

The grandson came to my attention because of his several friends who were C.I.A. The C.I.A. is not "Deep". It plays by Trump's script, as described by Henry Breck, godfather of the son of DCI Bush's counsel, Tony Lapham, who also allegedly never served with CIA prior to Bush "bringing him on board".

Say.... Tommy, didn't Jackie work for Guinzburg at Viking, just after she wrapped things up with Ari, in Greece, and wasn't Plimpton with Bobby in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel, and isn't Train, Tom Devine's Wubriny partner? And wasn't Jackie's best friend, Leigh, all "spooked up"?

Dear Tom,

I couldn't care less what your opinions are on the "evil, evil, evil CIA", the Georgetown Set, Skull and Bones, The Dulles Brothers, Operation Gladio, Reader's Digest, the Rothschilds, the Bilderberg Club, The Trilateral Commission, The World Bank, The Council on Foreign Relations, Globalism, George Soros, Bohemian Grove, The Federal Reserve, The Rockefellers, John McCone, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

In my humble opinion, you're not really "full of beans," you're simply ... well ... a rather ill man.

Pot..... kettle. Tommy, if it isn't obvious to you by now, considering Jack surrounded himself with Bartlett and Bradlee and Bartlett allegedly introduced Jack and Jackie on the occasion of the wedding of his spooky brother, David, and Smathers was in Jack and Jackie's wedding party, (dare I say it?) Jack and Jackie were.... Deep State!

LOL ! Hal Korda is my hero, Tommy. Despite not even finishing high school, he climbed into a plane on a NY airport tarmac in 1962 and told the passengers, top executives of the major U.S. steel producers, to rescind their recent price hikes, and they did.
Oswald did not complete high school, either. Reindeer don't even attend school....

Hal Korda ... was he married to the maid of a niece of a  second cousin twice-removed of David Rockefeller, or something?

Sept. 9 (P)-Police said today they had made a prize catch in their dragnet for teen-aged hoodlums. The youth, Louis Guzman, 14, is accused of hurling a gasoline bomb to light the scene while his companion opened fire on a group of people on the lower East Side Aug. 23. The shooting resulted in the death of Theresa Gee, 15. John Cruz, 17, now awaits trial for first-degree murder in the case. Aoother teen-ager was killed the same night in the lower East Side, and youthful crimes since then have taken throe other lives. Guzman, who weighs only 75 pounds, was described as one of the firebrands of Cruz's Forsyth Street gang. The tiny youth was arrested yesterday in hiding at his home, police said, and charged with juvenile delinquency. The continuing drive to round up young criminals has netted 387 youths under 21 since it began Friday night. Also picked up was Harriet (Tiny) Fleming, 20, a Negro girl accused last year of a razor attack on two young daughters of an Iranian diplomat. Police said this time she was caught burglarizing an apartment. The girl was freed on probation last year on the slashing charge. In the meantime, the district attorneys of the city's five bor oughs were called to an emergency meeting with Mayor Robert F. Wagner and Police Commissioner Stephen P.
