The Gerald Ford White House significantly altered the final report of the supposedly independent 1975 Rockefeller Commission investigating CIA domestic activities, over the objections of senior Commission staff, according to internal White House and Commission documents posted today by the National Security Archive at The George Washington University (www.nsarchive.org). The changes included removal of an entire 86-page section on CIA assassination plots and numerous edits to the report by then-deputy White House Chief of Staff Richard Cheney.There is an abundance of information here that analysts can pour over for years to come. All the right-way suspects of that era and beyond were involved in a massive cover-up: Nelson Rockefeller, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, the CIA, and others. A person most vigorously defending the public's right to know and aggressively attacked several secret agencies during his years in office was Idaho's Sen. Frank Church. Incidentally--or maybe not--he lost his next election and died conveniently a few years later.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
