By the time that The Family moved from Midland to Houston in the summer of ’59, it was as much a hub of extremism as Dallas.

The John Birch Society, the anti-communist Christian proselytizers that preached unrestricted Capital-ism, had a grip on the city like a vice.

Some people believe that the ancient Sumerian word that The Hebrews translated into “salt” also meant “vapor,” which they take as proof that Lot’s wife was vaporized, proving that nuclear war destroyed Sodom and Gomorra.

Tolstoy chose poverty, seeing ascetic morality as the only path to holiness.

And The John Birch Society believed that unrestricted acquisition of material wealth was a Christian’s primary duty.

After getting booted from King Arthur’s administration, Dullis’s interest in TX intensified.

He contacted a couple Houston-based officers.

And he visited Dallas just weeks before 11/22/63 to give a reading from his new book for The Council on World Affairs, the only event to promote the book’s release.

In 1895 Henry Cabbage Lodge, who would become the first Senate Majority Leader, already foresaw the dominoes of colonial expansion: “In the interests of our commerce... we should build the Nicaragua canal, and for the protection of that canal and for the sake of our commercial supremacy in the Pacific we should control the Hawaiian islands and maintain our influence in Samoa…and when the Nicaragua canal is built, the island of Cuba…will become a necessity…”

In 1898 The Homelan not only supported Cuba’s revolt against Spain, but Ruckafella even goaded Spain into the conflict.

Black Gold was oil and White Gold was sugar and access and control of this prized gold yin-yang was solidified by the yellow press.

The explosion of The USS Maine, docked in Cuba, was blamed on the Spanish, even though they’d peacefully accepted its presence until then, and Spanish documents revealed that they wanted to avoid war at all costs, knowing that their navy was inferior to The Homelan’s.

But Ruckafella, along with Harryman, made zillions on The Spanish Homelan War, The Homelan’s first war that wasn’t in self-defense.

In Cuba’s revolution of ’59, The Homelan and The Mob both supported the overthrown dictator, Batista.

As far back as the 19-teens we’d diminished Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua basically into colonies for our investment banks; Wall Street and Capital City fudging together each other’s policies, The Marines on call to intervene when needed.

And this itsy-bitsy little island Cuba sat only 90 miles off The Homelan’s coast.

Homelan companies controlled 80-100% of Cuba’s utilities, mines, cattle ranches, and oil refineries; 40% of its sugar industry; and 50% of its public railways.

And Cuba was the primary operating base for The Mob’s casinos.

Three years to the day before 11/22/63, The NYT reported that Castro had booted Foreign Oil.

And by the spring of ’61, King Arthur had just taken office, and The CIA already had 1,400 exiles armed and trained.

King Arthur told a press conference: There’ll be no military intervention in Cuba.

And four days later, CIA forces landed on Cuba’s south shore for The Bay of Pigs Thing.

Castro’s army crushed these CIA forces in three days.

One Cuban Intel official named Pops as the organizer of funding to assassinate Castro.

Official resignation is the most common first step a CIA agent takes upon embarking on a delicate mission.

It creates deniability.

The more sensitive your work, the more unlikely you acknowledge even working there.

But on 11/22/63, Hovver wrote Pops at The CIA.

Thirteen years before Pops would be appointed commander there, he saw to it that another man with his same name got hired as a gofer in a position so lowly that he wasn’t even allowed to talk on the phone.

But the mere presence of his name on the records was all the cover that Pops, the secret employee, needed.

The CIA probably first recruited Pops to use him as leverage against Grandfather.

But Grandfather’s predominance as a senator was anchored beyond budging.

Grandfather never forgave King Arthur for The Bay of Pigs Thing and firing whichever Dullis Bro.

Grandmother said about King Arthur: “(He) is a very ambitious young man who has neglected his work not only to fill his ambition, but the ambition of his father as well . . . It is fearful to think that a man of wealth can set out to gain an office and let it be bought for him.”
