Chapter 13
The 1976 Election and Conspiracy Fever
To dramatize what might happen and probably did happen in 1976, this
chapter has been prepared by assuming the attitude typical of today's
innocent Americans. A new disease is sweeping America. No, it's not
the flu; it's conspiracy fever.[1]
People afflicted by the disease imagine conspiracies everywhere. They
believe, for example, that the CIA arranged for the takeover in Chile
and the assassination of Salvador Allende. They even think Henry
Kissinger had something to do with it. These poor feverish devils have
the strange idea that J. Edgar Hoover was a fiend rather than a public
hero. They imagine that he ordered a vicious campaign against Dr.
Martin Luther King and a conspiracy against most of young America called
Cointelpro. Some even think Hoover had King killed. There are some
Californians with the west coast strain of this bug who imagine that the
FBI and the California authorities created a conspiracy in San Diego and
Los Angeles against black citizens. The California group also think
there was something strange about Donald DeFreeze and the Symbionese
Liberation Army. They suspect an FBI or California state authority
conspiracy, complete with police provocateurs, double agents, faked
prison breaks, and a Patty Hearst, alias Tania, all thrown in by our own
government to create a climate that would make the public accept the
prevalence of terrorism and demand a police state.
The disease spread to Congressmen as well. It does not seem to be
limited, as it was before Watergate, to people under the age of 30.
There are even Congressmen with a more virulent form of the malady who
are convinced their telephones are still being tapped. They, along with
thousands of others who suffer, no doubt reached this conclusion just
because they were told by a CIA-controlled media that hundreds of
telephones were tapped a few years ago.
Early forms of conspiracy fever are no longer considered to be
dangerous. For example, all those sick citizens who imagined
conspiracies in the incidents at Tonkin Gulf, Songmy, Mylai, the Pueblo
and the Black Panther murders are now considered to be more or less
recovered, since it turns out it was not their imaginations working
overtime after all. Even the special variety of the fever which caused
the impression that the CIA murdered a series of foreign heads-of-state
is no longer on the danger list.
There is still one form of the illness, however, that is officially
considered to be very dangerous, virulent, and to be stamped out at all
costs. It is the version producing the illusion that all of America's
domestic assassinations were conspiracies. Those infected believe the
conspiracies are interlinked in a giant conspiracy to take over the
electoral process in the United States and to conceal this from the
American people. Some citizens are known to have this worst form of the
fever. They include a Congressman or two. Others have come down with a
milder form in which they imagine separate conspiracies in four
assassination cases (John and Robert Kennedy, Dr. King, and the
attempted assassination of George Wallace).
Members of the Ford Administration, particularly David Belin, Mr. Ford's
staff member on the Rockefeller Commission, went along with an analysis
made by Dr. Jacob Cohen, a professional fever analyst, that the disease
has been spreading rapidly because of a small group of "carriers"
traveling around the country who are infecting everyone else. Some of
these carriers, called assassination "buffs", were thought to have
contracted the fever as many as twelve years ago.
In the disease's worst form, the patient imagines that there exists a
powerful, high level group of individuals, some of whom have
intelligence experience. The highest level of fever in these patients
produces the idea that this high level group, usually called the PCG,
will eliminate presidential candidates not in their favor or under their
control. Others imagine that Jimmy Carter has been brought into the PCG
by threats against his children and careful briefings by George Bush.
It is worth analyzing the sick people with this domestic assassination
conspiracy fever to see how far their imaginations take them. They
calculate that the PCG, fearing exposure if any president is not under
their control and influence, will go to whatever lengths are required to
insure the election of the man they do control. The idea is that Gerald
Ford was nicely in the PCG's pocket because he has been covering up for
them ever since 1964. He has continued to help them through 1975 and
1976 by maintaining a steady cover-up effort on all four cases. Jimmy
Carter was perhaps brought under control. The feverish "buffs" figure
that the PCG would have been sure to eliminate Jimmy Carter unless he
could be controlled.
The scenario continues into the future. The more control exercised by
the PCG, the stronger they become and the more people in the executive
branch become beholden to them to continue covering up the cover-ups.
So, wake up America. Wipe out this disease. It's just as dangerous as
Communism, if not more so. Like the general in "Z", Americans must
realize that such a disease has to be eliminated whenever and wherever
it appears.
