Dear Forum Members and Readers:

Legacy Of Ashes: The History Of The CIA by author Tim Weiner, winner of the Pulitzer
Prize, and also author of Blank Check: The Pentagon's Black Budget.
Legacy is published by Doubleday, August, 2007.

"This is a timely, immensely readable, and highly critical history of the CIA, culminating
with the most recent catastrophic failures in Iraq." Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk
Down.

"Legacy of Ashes, like all first-rate histories, is not only richly informative but provocative,
and insightful. It is a combustible mix of deeply researched history, solid reporting, and
revealing anecdotes. Tim Weiner's history of the CIA explains not merely the past but the
present, laying out in fine detail the structural and philosophical flaws that have dogged
the agency from day one and which continue to leave the country unduly vulnerable." Ted
Gup, author of Nation Of Secrets.

"This is a fascinating, deeply scary book. With prodigious reporting and on-the-record sources,
Tim Weiner shows why the CIA has done so poorly in traditional intelligence.

It's a riveting tale and also a warning, America must develop the ability - and the will - to know
and face the facts about the world." Walter Isaacson, author of EINSTEIN: HIS LIFE and UNIVERSE.

Commentary:

I am one hundred (100) pages into this book. It is incredibly well researched, and written.

The entire development of the OSS, The Central Intelligence Group, and then the Central
Intelligence Agency is authoritatively and powerfully developed and written. The development
of the careers of the Dulles brothers, and their attitudes leading up to the JFK Assassination
must be read if you are really interested in the JFK Assassination.

This book also delineates the Sequential Time Line Analysis and development of key Pentagon,
CIA, and White House figures. I think that this book is quite revealing.

What is the real secret purpose of the CIA ?

Keep asking yourself that Question. Did the CIA really fail at so many missions, or were they
"very highly controlled successes for other non-obvious reasons ?"

As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material
completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions
and Theories.

Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies,
thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?

Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation
of JFK Researchers who may not be as well versed as you.

Comments ?
Respectfully,
BB.

Dear Mr. Brychek;Thank you for your unfailing questioning and encouragement on this site; if we had 100 people like you years ago, we would have solved all the aspects of this conspiracy, the CIA and other black ops intelligence agencies would have been defunded and the criminals prosecuted and jailed and we would be enjoying the halcyon days of yore with all the vultures of hell trodden underneath. Thanks to you and the other researchers here in their work!!Tom Bigg

Ken Murray and Tom Big made some supportive contributions.

Today there are allegedly 21+ known U.S. Intelligence Agencies.

Today, and for decades, there is ZERO TRANSPARENCY FOR THE BLACK BUDGET.
