The "Freedom of Information Act" [USA] provided some interesting tidbits this week about the Kent State Killings. Republican supporters [and conservatives everywhere] are surely eating their shorts today as this embarressing news comes out. That is one criminal bunch of freaks operating as a political party.
The media is also "outed" as an arm of the political powers of the day, having obediently portraying these murders of college kids as "just a reaction to violent protests", which , as the new info shows, was not true: It was a planned execution to send a message to other protesters of the Cambodia bombings.
Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes was a known criminal with gang associations, and was an FBI hump, allowed to be free only by doing their bidding. The FBI activity he was involved in was also 'criminal' , as the newly released information shows.
quote: "Rhodes was the perfect messenger. Bumbling and mediocre, with a long history of underworld involvement, Rhodes was a devoted admirer of Nixon, and of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Public records reveal that Rhodes was a virtual stooge for the FBI because of the agency’s files tying Rhodes directly to organized crime."
The crime that day? - quote: "The fact that the Guard got direct orders to set, aim and shoot flies directly in the face of the official cover story that they were responding in panic to a random shot fired at them, or that they were defending themselves from some kind of student attack."
Governer Rhodes had ordered this illegal, politically motivated, killing of Kent State students. There was basic propaganda being thrown around, much like what we see today with Bush "creating and enemy" in non-patriots who protest the Iraq war, the Kent State students were called "Brownshirts" in an attempt to stop [out of fear] the protest over the Vietnam and Cambodia wars.
- quote: "They’re worse than the brownshirts and the Communist element and the night riders and the vigilantes. They are the worst type of people that we harbor in America….”
Ha ha ha - they were just regular students like you and me. It was all about deflecting attention from the illegal and immoral bombing of Cambodia, that was what the students were protesting, a protest that was "justified" as the details of the illegal Cambodia bombing campaign came clear. They were killed in cold blood too, as the tapes show.
---------more quotes from the link:
When Kent’s ROTC building was torched on May 2 under suspicious circumstances (student protestors couldn’t get it to light until a mysterious “biker” showed up with a canister of gasoline) it provided the perfect cover for Rhodes to dispatch the National Guard.
But contrary to law, they were supplied with live ammunition
For 37 years the official cover story has been that a mysterious shot rang out and the young Guardsmen panicked, firing directly into the “mob” of students.
This week, that cover story was definitively proven to be a lie
--
Prior to the shooting, a student named Terry Strubbe put a microphone at the window of his dorm, which overlooked the rally. According to the Associated Press, the 20-second tape is filled with “screaming anti-war protectors followed by the sound of gunfire.”
But in an amplified version of the tape, a Guard officer is also heard shouting “Right here! Get Set! Point! Fire!”
The sound of gunshots follow the word “Point.” Four students soon lay dead. Two days later, two more would die at Jackson State University, as police fired without provocation into a dorm.
