“Deep State” Researcher Mae Brussell Was a Visionary Who Foresaw the Rise of Fascism in America

 

Dubbed the “Queen of Conspiracy” and a “modern Sherlock Holmes,” Mae Brussell (1922-1988), the daughter of a prominent Los Angeles rabbi and a Beverly Hills housewife, became one of the 20th century’s foremost researchers of the so-called “deep state.”

The latter concept implies a hidden aspect of the U.S. government dominated by the CIA and FBI working on behalf of the interests of large corporations, which carries out illegal activities with impunity.

Reading some ten newspapers a day, along with hundreds of books on assassination and espionage, Brussell was a pioneer researcher into the John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., assassinations.

She was also way ahead of her time in recognizing the hidden CIA involvement in Watergate, the Jonestown massacre, Charles Manson killings, Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), and murder of John Lennon among other “deep-state” crimes.

Before CIA whistleblower Philip Agee was writing on the topic, Brussell understood the CIA to be an instrument of a plutocratic elite intent on stamping out progressive movements and anyone who threatened their authority.

The Kennedy assassination, in her assessment, provided a “blueprint of espionage work for any operation.”

Brussell stated that a “linear connection” existed “between [John] Kennedy’s assassination and Bobby Kennedy’s and the incident at Chappaquiddick (involving Senator Ted Kennedy) and Martin Luther King and [the attempted assassination of 1972 presidential candidate George C.] Wallace. It wasn’t just planned for Dallas; it wasn’t just that they didn’t want JFK because of the Bay of Pigs invasion.”

Even as right-wing a figure as Richard Nixon became the target of the “deep state” in the Watergate coup because some of his policies were too liberal.

Considering Nixon to be the “frontman” for a criminal cabal that seized control of the U.S. government in the wake of the JFK assassination, Brussell depicted him as a key figure in Operation Paperclip, under which the CIA recruited Nazis after World War II.

The CIA’s adoption of Nazi methods was evident in the cultivation of germ weapons at its biological weapons laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and its carrying out of medical and psychiatric experimentation on unwitting subjects under Operation MK-ULTRA, where CIA psychiatrists used hypnosis to turn people into zombies that could be programmed to commit political murders.[5]

Additionally, Brussell reported on the CIA’s proclivity to stir revolts, overthrow governments, and support fascist coups like in Greece in 1967 and Chile in 1973, and its development of a wide range of high-tech assassination weapons, including guns disguised as loudspeakers and vapors that could erase human memory.  (more...)
