The enemy I was referring to were/are the progressives who are entrenched in the federal gov’t including the CIA that he headed ,, he just couldn’t get his head around the fact that it wasn’t rhetoric , the most dangerous enemy of the USA was then and remains now many of his friends and colleagues in D.C. ,, it seems as if you are referring to him being able to see the external threats , U.S.S.R. et al ...
No. I see communo-fascism as global. IMO its intellectual center is here in the USA. One cannot be a highly ranked CIA official associated with drug operations in the Golden Triangle and counterintelligence operations without understanding plants, disinformation, and treason. Hence, he had to know, especially as Director. IMO, the "nice guy" stuff was just a cover story.
Further, you have to be aware of the Bush family forebears, which include highly placed officials in our government and banking going way back. For example, GHWB's uncle, George Herbert Walker (after whom both presidents were named), was head of the St. Louis Fed bank and was a key player on Jekyll Island. Cousin William Walker, a current CIA operative, was heavily involved in both Iran Contra (in which GHWB was heavily involved) and staged the bogus "Racak Massacre," used to start the war in Kosovo under Clinton. That's right, he was a big player for both the Republicans and Democrats. Now, rethink the whole premise of the story that started this thread.
In no way is GHWB "naive."
