Fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
— Jim Garrison
There will come a time when testimony taken by the Commission will be made public. But it might not be in your lifetime. There may be some things that would involve security. This would be preserved but not made public.
— Earl Warren
Security classification is intended to protect the nation from an enemy, not one branch of government against another or the public, nor to protect the American people from knowledge of mistakes. I do not accept as valid the view of Mr. Arthur Sylvester, the former press officer of the Pentagon, that the Government has a right to lie to the people of this country.
— J. William Fulbright
I want to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.
— John F. Kennedy
I made it very clear to the CIA recruiter that the invitation to come on campus was still open and that the administration was not in any way trying to discourage the CIA from coming to UCSB.
— Stephen Goodspeed, Vice-Chancellor
University of California, Santa Barbara
Perhaps Mort Sahl answered best:
“…certain people had to take President Kennedy’s life in order to control ours. In other words, as Richard Starnes of the New York World-Telegram said, the shots in Dallas were the opening shots of World War III. There’s been a great change in this country since Kennedy. I’m afraid a great deal of our hope was interred with his remains.”
“They don’t want to lose their power. And they don’t want to fall. It has become government by hoodlum. And I don’t blame them. If I were them, I wouldn’t want to fall either. I would pull out all the stops as well, as they have. On the other hand, while I know that neo-Nazis would want to kill a man like John Kennedy, I don’t understand why liberals would want to protect them from prosecution.”
“Once the neo-fascists became bold enough to slay the President on the street, they showed their hand. They showed how arrogant they had become. Now it’s a question of symptom. That crime was a national symptom. If we can turn our back on that, we will pay a terrible price. That will be the end of this democracy.”

Just a reminder that remains a claim you have failed to prove.
It has become government by hoodlum.
