The following are some of the assassinations or plans for assassinations that I have read in CIA files.

In the files that George H. W. Bush removed from the CIA and the other agencies in 1976 were 1,000's of files on political assassinations that had been or would be done in the future under the direction of the CIA.

***************************************************

The John Birch Society (JBS) was set up by Nelson Rockefeller. The reporter knew two people at the original meeting. They needed a right-wing, anti-communist organization. Nelson Rockefeller decided that Robert Welch was the man to run JBS, so he arranged for the sale of Welch's Candy Company (where Robert Welch had been working for his brother John) to Nabisco (which was a Rockefeller controlled company) at a highly inflated price, and Welch was given an income to run the John Birch Society.
