sabotage... one learns something conspiratorial every day...The public will not see Donald Trump’s White House records for years, but there is growing concern the collection will never be complete – leaving a hole in the history of one of America’s most tumultuous presidencies.
Trump has been cavalier about the law requiring that records be preserved. He has a habit of ripping up documents before tossing them out, forcing White House workers to spend hours taping them back together.
White House staff quickly learned about Trump’s disregard for documents as they witnessed him tearing them up and discarding them. “My director came up to me and said, ‘You have to tape these together,’” said Solomon Lartey, a former White House records analyst. The first document he taped back together was a letter from Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, about a government shutdown. “They told [Trump] to stop doing it. He didn’t want to stop.” Read more: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/17/historians-having-to-tape-together-records-that-trump-tore-up And by the way, see: a leadership going to shreds... Trump is a crass showman who does not care about the Hollywoodian protocols of historical proportions. Here we have the latest hullabaloo about the deletion of stupid Trumpolobola history, that most media have claimed to be fanciful all along his presidency, while Wikileaks, the purveyor of true historical records is being hunted until Julian Assange dies in prison. For the power in charge, it does not matter which prison, US or UK, but one can imagine his pain of being denied to be a human being. And this is the crux of history. We cannot have the truth. It is sanitised for our consumption, mostly packaged by our “liberal” media and comedians like Stephen Colbert — and sometimes redirected towards the officialdom versions by “academia” on the pay-roll. The record of deception and sabotage is as long as history itself. And this of course is part of my mega-project “The Age of Deceit” which is becoming bigger than Ben Hur. On 21 April 1943, de Gaulle was scheduled to fly in a Wellington bomber to Scotland to inspect the Free French Navy. On take-off, the bomber's tail dropped, and the plane nearly crashed into the airfield's embankment. Only the skill of the pilot, who became aware of the sabotage on takeoff saved them. On inspection, it was found that aeroplane's separator rod had been sabotaged, using acid. Britain's MI6 investigated the incident, but no one was ever apprehended. Publicly, blame for the incident was cast on German intelligence, however behind closed doors de Gaulle blamed the Western Allies, and later told colleagues that he no longer had confidence in them. http://www.yourdemocracy.net.au/drupal/node/35134 In The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Prouty’s exposed the CIA’s brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War. It was first published in the 1970s. However, virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, having been purchased en masse by shady “private buyers.” Certainly, Prouty’s allegations ― such as how the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower–Khrushchev talk ― cannot have pleased the CIA. The Secret Team appears once more with a new introduction by Jesse Ventura. The book was republished in 2011. https://www.amazon.com.au/Secret-Team-Allies-Control-United/dp/1616082844 Prouty’s assumptions could be verified: U2 flyovers of the Soviet Union had been banned by the White House, because of incoming peace talks between Eisenhower and Khrushchev. The CIA organised the famous U2 flyover nonetheless in order to sabotage these talks. Had the plane not been seen by the Russians, this mission would have been wasted. So the plane was sabotaged to crash inside the Soviet Union and create a bit more than an anti-peace sentiment. Whether or not Powers, the pilot, knew this or not is not said, but it is likely that he knew but played the game of innocence rather than take the cyanide pill. So contrary to the popular version that the Soviet had shot the plane down, Powers had landed in a field, where the plane that had experienced mechanical failure broke up slightly. Had the plane been shot by a rocket, it would have disintegrated in space into a million pieces — and Powers would not have been able to tell the tale. As well, Powers had his identification papers with him, which is totally contrary to spy etiquette. Furthermore the filming equipment on board Powers’ U2 was barely an improvement on those used during WW2 on US bomber. So the CIA succeeded in destroying the peace talks...
