"We must keep the people busy with political antagonisms. We'll therefore speed up the question of reform [of tariffs within] the Democratic Party; and we'll put the spotlight on the question of protection ...[for] the Republican Party. By dividing the electorate this way, we'll be able to have them spend their energies at struggling amongst themselves on questions that, for us, have no importance whatsoever."
United States Bankers magazine, 1892

Gatekeeping is an evolving strategy that has to set the bar a little higher to adapt to the better and better informed info-elites, such as folks on this discussion board and the internet newbies to covert crimes.
The CIA-media planners have been trying to get a piece of the internet's investigative journalism to co-opt the know-somethings.
FAMILY OF SECRETS
An interview with the author, Russ Baker
Gore Vidal called Baker's book about the Bush Dynasty and America's invisible government one of the most important books of the past ten years. In Family of Secrets Baker asks the obvious, but unanswered question, how can "such a clan occupy the presidency or vice presidency of the US for 20 of the past 28 years" with yet another Bush, Jeb Bush waiting in the wings. Family of Secrets reads and was conceived as a detective story, based on more than 500 interviews and thousands of documents, backed up by more than a 1000 footnotes. And even though the book uncovers a secret political life for all Bushes it is much more than a family expose. In this interview Russ Baker describes the powers behind the scenes, with examples from the CIA, oil and banking, and how these institutions are created by, and make use of people like the Bush family.
Russ Baker is an investigative journalist and has written for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, The Nation, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and served as a contributing editor to the Columbia Journalism Review, and is the founder of <http://whowhatwhy.com/>, a nonpartisan, nonprofit investigative news organization.

About TUC Radio and Maria Gilardin:
We became independent radio producers before the age of computer editing and internet distribution. Alternative Radio and WINGS were my inspiration. David Barsamian presents most of the really famous names in radio, Frieda Werden works with and for women. I decided to focus on themes such as globalization, corporations, ecology, Native Nations and climate change.
Recently I sat in a restaurant and opened my mail. When I told the waitress that I was going to order a desert after all because I had just received a check with a donation she said that she wished to live like I do, with so much trust in the kindness of strangers.
Please remember that you can affirm that trust and be that stranger whose gift will have an immediate effect because I live that close to the edge. Now, in October 09, I have just a little over $800 in the bank and in twenty years my balance has never been higher than $7,200. Nevertheless in 17 years I have not missed a single program.

I would have to believe they knew exactly what was going to happen. Pretty sure a case could be made that Vietnam benefited the Bush dynasty greatly.
Well if you could post a source on that please do, haha. Maybe I'm just falling into believing the mainstream narrative. I don't think Robert McNamara knew what Vietnam would be before he got into it.
