Hi, thanks for your comment. I understand. Short answer: The Nov. 1963 assassination of JFK. Prouty resigned/retired 1964. Prouty had been tracking JFK’s decision and efforts to eliminate the CIA after it’s independent Bay of Pigs fiasco with JFK being left out of the loop. Prouty also wrote the book “JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy (Second Edition)
Why did he write these books? My guess: The assassination did it. In the JFK/CIA/Vietnam/ Bay of Pigs book he was very explicit and detailed naming documents, names (great majority of which he knew personally). The book’s difficult to read as he skips back and forth, but it’s nothing but factual naming documents, people, places, dates, etc. He also, fully documents Vietnam being a planned CIA war, even detailing the shipment of US weapons, originally intended for invasion of Japan, to North Vietnam, immediately upon signing end of Japan war. Also detailed the CIA shipping at least 100,000 (as I recall) North Vietnamese farmers into South Vietnam delta region to insure war. I even had a USMA room mate who got assigned with the CIA in Vietnam. Today we’d call Prouty a “whistleblower”.
