Call Waiting

One of my favorite movies is the 1970's spy thriller Telefon. In this
film, the KGB has hypnotized Russian agents to carry out assassinations
and acts of terrorism, prior to committing suicide on completion of
their programmed mission. All of this takes place without the
programmed subjects having any knowledge that they are mind-controlled.
These individuals have been programmed to react when the lines of a
Robert Frost poem are recited to them over the telephone. Placed all
over America as "sleepers," these robot-assassins live out their lives
believing they are ordinary Americans, until the fateful moment when
the telephone rings and a voice begins to recite, "The woods are
lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go
before I sleep. Remember, comrade, miles to go before you sleep".

Pure Hollywood fantasy about a paranoid conspiracy theory, right?

Yes. No. Maybe.

I admit that I am split on whether or not I really believe in such a
thing as a mind controlled, programmed assassin. A part of me refuses
to accept that this concept is anything more than an irrational fear
and a good, but slightly paranoid, Cold War-type plot for a movie like
Telefon.

Then there is another part of me that looks at the information about
Project MKULTRA pried out of the CIA via the Freedom of Information Act
and I somehow can't quite bring myself to dismiss the idea as just mere
concept.

We now have substantiated proof that the CIA was working on projects to
control human behavior. And given the history of the agency as revealed
in once classified documents, it is safe to say that the CIA would have
had a great interest in creating the perfect agent: one who didn't know
he/she was an agent. One who was mind-controlled. (In The Control of
Candy Jones, author Donald Bain tells of Candy Jones, a leading New
York fashion model whose story is perhaps one of the best documented
cases of successful mind-control by the CIA via drugs, hypnosis and
intensive programming; Ms. Jones underwent hypnotic regression therapy
after exhibiting disturbing personality shifts and eventually what had
happened to her emerged. The story that unfolded told how Ms. Jones had
been programmed by hypnosis to act as a spy and courier for the CIA in
the Far East, all the while in a deep hypnotic trance. Once the CIA was
through with her, she returned to her former life with absolutely no
memory of what had happened to her).

Such a scenario would be plausible denial at it's finest, producing the
ultimate patsy. Consider the following extract from the "Real Story
Series" booklet entitled "Who Killed Robert Kennedy?" by Philip
Melanson:

"Since World War II, the US military and the CIA have conducted
extensive research into mind control and its relation to national
security...Fearing that the Russians might produce a "sleeper killer"
as a weapon against the West, the CIA began to pursue research on their
own programmed assassin. An agency memo in January 1954 discussed
a "hypothetical problem": "Can an individual...be made to perform an
act of attempted assassination involuntarily?" Can someone be turned
into a "trigger mechanism" that can be "induced to perform the act of
attempted assassination at a later date"? The target of the attempted
assassination was to be "a prominent politician [of the foreign
country] or if necessary, an American official."
Melanson writes further that it would be much easier to create
a "patsy" than to program an assassin and also wrote that hypnosis
expert Milton Kline, a CIA consultant, estimated that he could create
such a patsy in as little as three months.

During their investigation and research into the history of LSD,
authors Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain were allowed access to a special
reading room at the Hyatt Regency in Rosslyn, Virginia. Documents
pertinent to the CIA's MKULTRA program were being opened to the public
as the result of a Senate subcommittee led by chairman Senator Ted
Kennedy. In the prologue to their book, Acid Dreams, they write:

In the course of our inquiry we uncovered CIA documents describing
experiments in sensory deprivation, sleep teaching, ESP, subliminal
projection, electronic brain stimulation, and many other methods that
might have applications for behavior modification. One project was
designed to turn people into programmed assassins who would kill on
automatic command. (1)
Most conspiracy researchers are familiar with the CIA's mind control
program MKULTRA. It was led by creepy scientist-spook Dr. Sidney
Gottlieb, who testified before the same subcommittee only after
receiving a grant of immunity from criminal prosecution. MKULTRA was
launched in April of 1953 as a continuation of mind-control experiments
that originated in the Nazi death camps of such notoriety as Dachau.
(MKULTRA, ARTICHOKE and other CIA projects became possible because of
Project Paperclip, a US Army scheme that smuggled Nazi scientists,
intelligence personnel and other war criminals to the United States
from Europe at the end of WWII.)

The start of the Cold War and the Korean War in particular gave the go
ahead to mind control research with the advent of "brain washing" as a
house-hold name. Supposedly a development of the Communist-Chinese, the
term was actually coined by a magazine writer later discovered to be on
the CIA payroll as an "agent of influence". On the premise of
a "brainwashing gap," the CIA got permission for research into
countering alleged communist mind control efforts and set out to
develop their own to aid in the espionage battle.

MKULTRA Calling: A History of Horrors

The abuses of MKULTRA are just beginning to see the light of day.

On November 19, 1953, an Army scientist and germ warfare specialist
named Frank Olson, who was working on an MKULTRA project, was without
his knowledge or consent, slipped a dose of LSD in a drink at a party
attended by other CIA personnel. For weeks afterward he remained in
what many witnesses described as a state of depression and paranoia. He
confided to one CIA doctor that the agency was putting something in his
coffee to keep him awake at night, that people were plotting against
him and that he heard voices commanding him to throw his wallet away,
which he did, even though it contained several uncashed pay checks. On
the last night of his life, he checked into a room at the Statler
Hilton hotel in New York City along with a CIA agent assigned to watch
him. Olson allegedly jumped through a closed hotel window and fell ten
stories to his death. It was Dr. Gottlieb who had slipped him the drug
at the party. An elaborate cover-up eliminated any clues as to the
actual circumstances of his death. The full truth of what happened
would not come to light for twenty years. (On a recent episode of the
television show Unsolved Mysteries, serious doubts were raised as to
whether Olson actually jumped through the window unaided.) Olson's
widow was eventually awarded a large cash settlement in connection with
his death at the hands of the CIA.

Dr. Ewen Cameron, a prestigious psychiatrist who directed the Allain
Memorial Institute in Montreal, Canada also worked for the CIA during
MKULTRA. With financial backing from the CIA, Dr. Cameron developed a
bizarre method for reprogramming people. This involved "sleep therapy"
where a person was knocked out with sedatives for months at a time.
Next, the phase involved "depatterning" in which the person was given
massive electro shocks and frequent doses of LSD in an attempt to wipe
out past behavior patterns. Then, the doctor would attempt to
recondition the person's mind using a technique called "psychic
driving," in which the person was again heavily sedated, locked in
a "sleep room" where tape recordings of various messages were played
over a speaker under the person's pillow as many as a quarter of a
million times. (2) (Nine of Dr. Cameron's former "patients" have filed
lawsuits against the American government in a claim that they are still
suffering from trauma as a result of these experiments.)

Another death attributed to the program was that of Harold Blauer in
1953. Blauer was part of a study conducted by a group of doctors
working under an army contract at the New York State Psychiatric
Institute. He died a few hours after an injection of MDA, a
psychedelic, amphetamine-derived drug, similar to the 90's "rave" drug,
Ecstasy. The drug had been supplied by the Army Chemical Corps in co-
operation with MKULTRA. One army researcher later admitted that "we
didn't know if it was dog piss or what it was we were giving to him."
(3)

And in perhaps one of the most bizarre and horrifying abuses, Dr. Paul
Hoch, while performing experiments for the army as a CIA consultant,
gave intra spinal injections of LSD and mescaline to psychiatric
patients, later lobotomizing them. In one experiment, after a
psychedelic had been administered, Dr. Hoch gave a subject a local
anesthetic and asked him to describe his visual experiences as surgeons
removed pieces of his brain. (4) (The list of other abuses occurring
during MKULTRA is a lengthy one that could fill a large volume.)

The CIA appears to have chosen to experiment primarily on certain
groups: prisoners, mental patients, "foreigners," sexual deviants, and
minorities. Much of the experimentation occurred at places like the
Addiction Research Center, a federal hospital for drug addicts in
Lexington, Kentucky. CIA documents describe experiments conducted in
which persons were given LSD for over seventy-five consecutive days in
double, triple and quadruple doses. The majority of these subjects were
black males.

Abuses of inmates at Vacaville Medical Facility in California, a prison
psychiatric hospital, were also conducted under the auspices of
MKULTRA.

Consider the following excerpts from a series of articles that ran in
the Napa Sentinel, entitled, "Mind Control" by Harry V. Martin and
David Caul:

People have found it difficult to accept that an individual can be
hypnotized to perform an act which is against his moral principles.
Some experiments have been conducted by the U.S. Army which show that
this popular perception is untrue. The chairman of the Department of
Psychology at Colgate University, Dr. Estabrooks, has stated, "I can
hypnotize a man without his knowledge or consent into committing
treason against the United States." Estabrooks was one of the nation's
most authoritative sources in the hypnotic field...Dr. Estabrooks
actually conducted experiments on U.S. soldiers to prove his point.
Soldiers of low rank and little formal education were placed under
hypnotism and their memories tested...One of the experiments involved
placing a normal, stable army private in a deep trance. Watkins was
trying to see if he could get the private to attack a superior officer,
a cardinal sin in the military. While the private was in a deep trance,
Watkins told him that the officer sitting across from him was an enemy
soldier who was going to attempt to kill him. In the private's mind, it
was a kill or be killed situation. The private immediately jumped up
and grabbed the officer by the throat. The experiment was repeated
several times, and in one case the man who was hypnotized and the man
who was attacked were very close friends. The results were always the
same. In one experiment, the hypnotized subject pulled out a knife and
nearly stabbed another person...Dr. James V. McConnel, head of the
Department of Mental Health Research at the University of Michigan,
said, "The day has come when we can combine sensory deprivation with
the use of drugs, hypnosis, and the astute manipulation of reward and
punishment to gain almost absolute control over an individual's
behavior...A U.S. Navy psychologist, who claims that the Office of
Naval Intelligence had taken convicted murderers from military prisons,
used behavior modification techniques on them, and then relocated them
in American embassies throughout the world. Just prior to that time,
the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee had censured the CIA for its
global political assassination plots, including plots against Fidel
Castro. The Navy psychologist was Lt. Commander Thomas Narut of the
U.S. Regional Medical Center in Naples, Italy. The information was
divulged at an Oslo NATO conference of 120 psychologists from the
eleven nation alliance...Dr. Narut, in a question and answer session
with reporters from many nations, revealed how the Navy was secretly
programming large numbers of assassins. He said that the men he had
worked with for the Navy were being prepared for commando-type
operations, as well as covert operations in U.S. embassies worldwide.
He described the men who went through his program as "hit men and
assassins" who could kill on command. Careful screening of the subjects
was accomplished by Navy psychologists through the military records,
and those who actually received assignments where their training could
be utilized, were drawn mainly from submarine crews, the paratroops,
and many were convicted murderers serving military prison
sentences...After his NATO lecture, Dr. Narut disappeared. He could not
be located. Within a week of so after the lecture, the Pentagon issued
an emphatic denial that the U.S. Navy had "engaged in psychological
training or other types of training of personnel as assassins." They
disavowed the programming centers in San Diego and Naples and stated
they were unable to locate Narut, but did provide confirmation that he
was a staff member of the U.S. Regional Medical Center in Naples.
As we shall see, Project MKULTRA may have culminated in such horrors as
the People's Temple tragedy in Jonestown, Guyana, the Kennedy
assassinations and more.

A Directory of Lone Nuts

To my knowledge, we have no actual proof that the CIA was successful in
actually creating a programmed assassin.

Or do we?

In the late 60's and early 70's, political assassinations changed the
course of three presidential elections. In each of these cases,
responsibility was placed on a "lone nut," conveniently relieving any
need for public inquiries into possible conspiracies. Research into
assassinations and attempted assassinations, various murders and
mayhem, and covert activities of America's intelligence community aimed
at American citizens contain our best evidence of the possible success
of mind-control experiments that may have produced programmed
assassins.

Also present in some of these cases was the CIA technique of
using "doubles" and even theatrical effects to deliberately create
confusion, promote propaganda and negative sentiments
against "subversive groups" or to bolster the portrait of the "lone
nut" in the minds of Americans. It is possible that these "doubles"
were also programmed and mind controlled. (During the Vietnam era, the
CIA's Operation CHAOS was routinely and illegally conducting domestic
spy operations on a large number of U.S. citizens, attempting to prove
a link between the anti-war movement and world communism. To this day,
the files that the CIA maintains on private citizens are one of the
Agency's most closely guarded secrets).

The cases of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, John
Lennon, Governor George Wallace, the People's Temple "massacre" at
Jones Town, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the so-called "Zebra"
murders, and even the Charles Manson Family are rife with tantalizing
clues that seem to suggest that mind-control has been achieved by the
CIA. Consider the following, itemized list in America's Directory
of "Lone Nut" Assassins:

Sirhan Sirhan

Sirhan Sirhan was/is portrayed as the "lone nut" who assassinated
Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5,
1968. There is strong evidence of the presence of the CIA in this
assassination. The LAPD (which appears to have been under the direction
of the CIA at the time of the investigation) figures prominently in the
cover-up which took place after the shooting.

The fatal wound that killed Robert Kennedy came from a gunshot behind
his right ear. Sirhan, according to multiple witnesses, fired his gun
from Kennedy's front and was never behind the Senator at any time. Once
the shooting started, Sirhan was quickly hauled to the floor by several
people who had been assigned to guard Kennedy that day. (It has been
alleged that Sirhan, like Lee Harvey Oswald, was simply a mind-
controlled patsy and that the real killer was Thane Eugene Cesar, an
armed security guard and a Kennedy-hater with right-wing ties. Cesar
was in the perfect position to fire the fatal shot as he was behind and
just slightly to the right of Senator Kennedy and had been guiding him
by the arm through the crowd at the moment of the shooting).

In what is perhaps one of the best cases for proof of successful mind-
control, the evidence strongly suggests that Sirhan may have been
programmed (by the CIA) with hypnosis and drugs. (Sirhan claims to have
no memory of the killing.)

Master hypnotist William J. Bryan, Jr., who allegedly worked for the
CIA, bragged about hypnotizing Sirhan prior to the assassination, as
well as the serial killer known as the "Boston Strangler," Albert
DeSalvo. Bryan, by his own account, had been the "chief of all medical
survival training for the United States Air Force, which meant the
brainwashing section." He also claimed to have been a consultant for
the film "The Manchurian Candidate," which was based on Richard
Condon's famous novel about a man who is captured by Communists and
hypnotically programmed to return to the United States to kill a
political leader. Condon's novel was itself based upon the CIA's
ARTICHOKE program (the successor to Project BLUEBIRD), which sought to
find a way to create a programmed, amnesiac assassin. Project ARTICHOKE
eventually became Project MKULTRA.

In the July-August, 1997 issue of Probe, author/researcher Lisa Pease
elaborates further:

How far did these experiments progress? There is little in the way of a
written record. In the wake of the exposes during the Watergate period,
exiting CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all files relating to the
CIA’s various mind control experiments destroyed. A few years later, a
small number of documents was found and reviewed by the Senate. In
these few documents may lay some hints as to what happened to Robert
Kennedy. One surviving document in particular bears an uncanny
resemblance to the circumstances surrounding the assassination. The
1954 CIA document describes efforts to find a way to induce an
individual “to perform an act, involuntarily, of attempted
assassination against a prominent [deleted in original] politician or
if necessary, against an American official.” (And the original document
contained) the suggestion that the subject be “surreptitiously drugged
through the medium of an alcoholic cocktail at a social party.” Sirhan
had been drinking Tom Collinses that night. His last memory was of
pouring coffee for a pretty girl, described by a waiter there as
wearing a polka dot dress. Had Sirhan been surreptitiously drugged? The
use of drugs, or hypnosis, or likely a combination of both, would go a
long way towards explaining Sirhan’s strange behavior as recorded by
the witnesses that night. Several witnesses noticed something odd in
Sirhan’s behavior before and during the shooting. Earlier that evening,
one of the Western Union teletype operators, Mary Groh, noticed Sirhan
staring at the teletype machine as though transfixed. “[H]e came over
to my machine and started staring at it. Just staring. I’ll never
forget his eyes. I asked what he wanted. He didn’t answer. He just kept
staring.” One of the men attempting to overpower Sirhan during the
shooting, George Plimpton, was amazed that Sirhan’s eyes were “dark
brown and enormously peaceful.” Another man in the same position,
Joseph Lahaiv, described Sirhan as looking “very tranquil” during the
struggle. Two waiters, Vincent Di Pierro and Martin Patruski, reported
that Sirhan appeared to be smiling. A cook named Yosio Niwa said, “I’ll
never forget that guy’s face...I was so upset...he was smiling....”
When Sirhan was taken from the scene, a patrolman shined a flashlight
in Sirhan’s eyes to check for indications of drugs or alcohol. On the
stand at Sirhan’s trial, the patrolman “couldn’t recall” what he
determined. But in an earlier statement he had said that Sirhan’s
pupils “didn’t react” to the light and that they “were real wide”. The
official records from Sirhan’s blood test were lost by the Los Angeles
Police Department...If the bulk of the witnesses, who gave matching
stories, are correct, then Sirhan couldn’t have fired the shots, and
was in a disassociative state during the shooting. If he was under
hypnosis and given amnesia-producing drugs such as the CIA was
experimenting with for well over fourteen years by that time, then
Sirhan’s claims of memory loss and innocence, while strange, may well
be true...for seekers of truth, the full record presents the very
likely and disturbing possibility that Sirhan was a mind-controlled
patsy performing an act of “attempted assassination” to distract from
the real killers.
In his book, "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate," John D. Marks
details the CIA's efforts to hypnotically program people and adds the
following:

The veteran admits that none of the arguments he uses against a
conditioned assassin would apply to a programmed "patsy" whom a
hypnotist could walk through a series of seemingly unrelated events, a
visit to a store, a conversation with a mailman, picking a fight at a
political rally. The subject would remember everything that happened to
him and be amnesic only for the fact the hypnotist ordered him to do
these things. There would be no gaping inconsistency in his life of the
sort that can ruin an attempt by a hypnotist to create a second
personality. The purpose of this exercise is to leave a circumstantial
trail that will make the authorities think the patsy committed a
particular crime. The weakness might well be that the amnesia would not
hold up under police interrogation, but that would not matter if the
police did not believe his preposterous story about being hypnotized or
if he were shot resisting arrest. Hypnosis expert Milton Kline says he
could create a patsy in three months; an assassin would take him six.
Phrases from Sirhan's private notebooks show the characteristics
of "automatic writing" of a hypnotically programmed subject and he even
makes references to mind control, money, drugs, the Occult and even the
name "Di Salvo."

Witness Sandra Serrano, who was harassed/intimidated/ridiculed by LAPD
polygraph operator Sgt. Enrique Hernandez as he tried to get her to
change her story (Hernandez had ties to the CIA and may have been a
professional CIA interrogator) reported that just prior to the
shooting, she saw Sirhan with a "Latin" man and a girl in a polka-dot
dress ascending an emergency stairway in the hotel where RFK was shot.
Other witnesses saw Sirhan near a coffee machine inside the hotel with
a girl in a polka-dot dress who was whispering to him. (Sirhan has said
that the last thing he remembers prior to the shooting of RFK was
having a cup of coffee with a girl. The next thing he remembered
afterward was being restrained after firing his weapon at Kennedy. This
suggests the possibility of additional drugs being placed in his
coffee, and further hypnotic suggestions being given to him just prior
to the shooting)

Immediately after the shooting, witnesses saw this same woman and a
male companion (the "Latin") leaving the hotel and gleefully
exclaiming, "We shot him! We shot Senator Kennedy!" Prosecution
psychiatrist Seymour Pollack, who was convinced that Sirhan had been
programmed by someone, asked Sirhan while under hypnosis if anyone was
with him when he shot Kennedy, to which he replied in a hushed
tone, "the girl, the girl."

Lee Harvey Oswald

The alleged "lone nut" assassin of JFK had numerous ties to the
intelligence community and served with the Marine Corps at Atsugi,
Japan ( originating base of the U2 spy plane flights) during which time
LSD and other drugs were known to have been field tested there by the
CIA.

There is the implication to be considered by his known presence at
Atsugi that Oswald may have been the first "Manchurian Candidate" patsy
from which many others were later fashioned. The use of
numerous "doubles" in the Oswald saga is well documented by other
researchers, as well as many instances of what may indicate the use of
programmed collaborators. (See "Kerry Thornley" below)

James Earl Ray

The alleged assassin of Martin Luther King may have also been a
carefully chosen and groomed patsy. This case provides us with evidence
of the FBI and CIA's involvement in the assassination of what they
termed as a "black political dissident". (J. Edgar Hoover's hatred of
King is well documented, as well as his agency's attempts to discredit
King, whom the FBI felt had communist ties. It should be noted here
that the FBI's infamous COINTELPRO [Counterintelligence Program] was in
full force during the 1960's and early 1970's and is possibly still in
effect to this day, but under a different name). (fn1)

Suspiciously, Ray (who by all accounts was not a very sophisticated
criminal) was somehow able to obtain enough money to secure a phony
passport, travel by plane all over Europe and elude the authorities who
were looking for him, acting more like a seasoned spook then the small
time burglar and thief he actually was.

While there appears to be no overt evidence of mind control where Ray
is concerned, the case remains of interest for the use of the Ray
doubles "Paul Bridgemen," "Eric Starvo Galt," and "Ramon George Sneyd."
Ray employed all three of these names. It came to light later that
these aliases were identical to the names of three men who lived near
each other in Toronto (a city where Ray had never been). All of these
men were about the same height and build and all bore facial scars that
were similar to Ray's.

In the tradition of intelligence "handlers," there is the
mysterious "Raoul," whom Ray claims was his contact during the days
leading up to the assassination.

Though a rifle found at the scene allegedly had a single fingerprint
that was attributed to Ray, no prints matching his were found in the
room he rented across from King's motel and from which Ray supposedly
fired at King. (It took the FBI's fingerprint section two weeks to
identify this fingerprint, even though they were comparing the print
against a master set of prints that contained only 720 samples. This
would indicate that the print alleged to have been found on the rifle
was of a very poor and dubious quality).

Recent tests (pushed for by Martin Luther King's son) have also
provided strong indications that the recovered rifle was not the weapon
that was used to assassinate King. Tennessee Judge Joe Brown ruled that
12 out of the 18 test bullets that were fired through the rifle had
markings different from the markings on the bullet that killed Dr.
King. These test results alone seem to support the contention that Ray
was groomed for his role as a patsy.

Charles Manson

Manson and his followers committed the Tate-LaBianca and other killings
during the late 1960's. Manson used mind-control techniques such as
hypnotism, high doses of LSD, and programming to turn peaceful flower
children into killers, but one has to wonder just exactly where did
Manson learn to program people?

Manson was part of the "hippie element" at the time of the CIA's use of
drugs and the MKULTRA experiments in an attempt to discredit the left
wing anti-war movement in America.

Manson's supply of LSD may have come directly from the CIA. A new type
of LSD known as "Orange Sunshine" was being used by the Manson Family
immediately prior to the Tate-LaBianca murders according to Family
member Charles "Tex" Watson, who wrote in his prison memoir that it was
the use of the Orange Sunshine LSD that finally convinced him that
Manson's Helter Skelter, apocalyptic vision was real. (13) And this
special LSD may have been supplied by the CIA. Orange Sunshine was
manufactured and distributed by a group known as "The Brotherhood of
Eternal Love" who operated out of a beach resort near Los Angeles. The
Brotherhood had among it's drug manufacturers and dealers, one Ronald
Stark, a person with known connections to the CIA. It is believed that
Stark was responsible for the manufacture of up to 50 million hits of
LSD). (14)

It is also interesting to note that Manson, an avowed racist and having
a known affinity for right-wing beliefs, was somehow conveniently and
completely linked with the left-wing by the news media. It can be
argued that the Manson murders "nailed the coffin shut" in the minds of
many Americans as far as the image of the Hippies as a peace-loving,
political movement was concerned, and by all indications, this seems to
have been just one very weird part of a successful CIA operation to
discredit the anti-war movement in America.

Manson's personal obsession was with "Helter Skelter" and his belief
was that this event would ignite a black-white race war in America; the
Tate-LaBianca murders and the murder of musician Gary Hinman were
definitely staged with false clues that the killers (or perhaps someone
else) hoped would be blamed on elements of the "black militant"
movement.

Manson has said in interviews that he based some of his "philosophy" on
the science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert
Hienlien. In a scenario perhaps reminiscent of Mark David Chapman's and
John Hinckley's infatuation with Catcher in the Rye, could Stranger in
a Strange Land somehow have been Manson's program-trigger mechanism?
Was the concept of Helter Skelter part of Manson's program?

And consider that if a hippie-ex-convict-nobody like Charles Manson
could program people to kill, then why not the U.S. Government?

In the book, Helter Skelter, Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi
discusses Manson's programming techniques in depth, likening much of
Manson's programming abilities to the same thing that takes place with
recruits in the U.S. military. But Bugliosi also hints at "some missing
element, "some aspect of Manson's personality that we do not
understand" that enabled him to program his followers to kill.

Manson was in prison during the time that the CIA was known to be using
inmates at Vacaville prison in the MKULTRA experiments, a fact that
leaves one to speculate that perhaps Manson was some sort of mind-
controlled guru cum agent provocateur, set loose against
the "subversive" left-wing elements by the CIA to discredit them.

Since his incarceration for the Tate-LaBianca murders, Manson has again
served part of his time at Vacaville.

Arthur Bremer

The attempted assassin of Governor George Wallace of Alabama was
described in the media as a deranged loner, but he wasn't alone at all
if you count the involvement of the CIA and the
Nixon/Watergate "plumbers" who figure prominently in this case. (It has
been suggested that George Wallace's political campaign could
potentially have taken too many votes away from rival presidential
candidate Richard Nixon if Wallace was allowed to stay in the
presidential race. He was conveniently eliminated by Arthur Bremer).

On Monday, May 15, 1972, Bremer attempted to assassinate George Wallace
at a campaign rally in Laurel, Maryland. According to researchers,
within one hour after the Wallace shooting, Nixon aide Charles Colson,
having invented a ruse to place blame for the shooting on radical
extremists of the left wing, ordered Watergate "plumber" E. Howard Hunt
to break into Bremer's apartment and plant Black Panther and Angela
Davis literature there. (Bremer, however, had political convictions
leaning towards the extreme right. None other than George Wallace
himself stated that he wondered how members of Nixon's staff had found
Bremer's apartment so quickly after the shooting.)

But this "loner" actually had quite a few friends. One of these
friends, Dennis Cassini, turned up mysteriously dead in the trunk of
his own car before he could be questioned. (5) The FBI didn't even
bother to investigate his death. According to The Milwaukee
Journal: "The former Wisconsin College Republican State Chairman said
(that) Donald Segretti, confessed political spy and Republican saboteur
in the 1972 presidential campaign, urged him to recruit persons in
Wisconsin to do dirty tricks to embarrass the Democrats."

Arthur Bremer was from Milwaukee. Records show that Bremer traveled
extensively while stalking Wallace on his campaign trail, staying in
expensive hotels, running up debts totaling $5,000 dollars, which he
paid. Quite unusual for a busboy whose total earnings were under $2,000
dollars for the entire year. Bremer was also identified prior to the
assassination as the man seen accompanying Watergate-operative Anthony
Ulasewicz in Michigan. (The personality revealed by Bremer's diary was
used as a source for the character of Travis Bickle in the original
screenplay of the movie Taxi Driver, which would, curiously, later
drive John Hinckley in his own presidential assassination attempt).

Bremer was sentenced to 63 years in prison and has never given any
explanation as to why he shot Wallace.

Project Mind Kontrol:

Part Two

Did the U.S. Government Actually Create Programmed Assassins?

By Curt Rowlett

Mark David Chapman

Yet another "lone nut" assassin who killed "leftist" John Lennon in New
York City on December 8, 1980.

Chapman had possible ties to the CIA as a former World Vision Employee.
(World Vision Missionaries is an "international evangelical order" that
has performed espionage work for CIA). Allegedly, while working for
World Vision, Chapman was trained in terrorist infested, war-torn
Beruit as a "security guard".

Less than four months before John Hinckley Jr. attempted to gun down
Reagan, Chapman shot and killed John Lennon in what may have been a
practice run for Hinckley's later assassination attempt on Reagan. It
is known (via the Freedom of Information Act) that the FBI kept an
extensive file on Lennon and considered him to be a "dangerous left-
wing subversive."

The FBI was able to keep Lennon from obtaining permanent residency in
the United States, watched his apartment, followed him and even tapped
his telephone. According to British Journalist Fenton Bresler, who
wrote the book, "Who Killed John Lennon?," the FBI viewed Lennon (who
was a close confidant to ultra-radicals Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman)
as a dangerous radical who exerted a strong influence on the public
through his music and political activities.

After shooting Lennon, Chapman sat down and calmly began reading from
The Catcher in the Rye, a novel by J.D. Salinger. (Interestingly, J.D.
Salinger, author of "Catcher" served in the Counter Intelligence Corps
during WWII with Henry Kissinger. Others have theorized that this book
served as some sort of post-hypnotic suggestion or program "trigger").
(6) Chapman himself claims that he killed Lennon to promote the reading
of "Catcher in the Rye," yet according to those who knew him, Chapman
never exhibited strong feeling about the book until just prior to the
shooting.

Chapman has been quoted as saying this about the shooting:

"He (Lennon) walked past me and then I heard in my head, 'Do it, do it,
do it, like that,' I don't remember aiming. I must have done, but I
don't remember drawing a bead or whatever you call it...I had no
emotion, no anger....dead silence in the brain."

Fenton Bresler believed that Chapman was a brainwashed hit man. He
wrote that, "Mark David Chapman is in many ways as much the victim of
those who wanted to kill John Lennon as Lennon himself."

The police detective (Arthur O'Connor) who interviewed Chapman
immediately following the shooting was convinced, due to his strange
demeanor, that Chapman was under the influence of some sort of hypnotic
programming. (Chapman has officially been portrayed as simply an
obsessed Beatles fan who stalked and killed Lennon for fifteen minutes
of fame. A source of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, told me
about how he once worked in a record store in Decatur, Georgia where
Mark David Chapman often shopped for records. He claims Chapman was not
a Beatles fan at all, but rather that he seemed obsessed with the music
of Todd Rundgren). O'Conner stated that "It is definitely illogical to
say the Mark committed the murder to make himself famous. He did not
want to talk to the press from the very start. It's possible Mark could
have been used by somebody. I saw him the night of the murder. I
studied him intensely. He looked as if he could have been programmed."

Although Chapman has been portrayed as a loner, he was anything but. He
worked extensively with children as a camp counselor for the YMCA and
appeared to have had a normal social life.

John Hinckley, Jr.

The attempted lone nut assassin of Ronald Reagan, whose death would
have placed CIA-spook-vice-president George Bush into the white house
eight years earlier than when he was eventually elected. (It should
also be noted that the members of the Bush and Hinckley families are
old friends, both families having made big money in the Texas oil boom.
In fact, Bush's son, Neil, was supposed to have had dinner with Scott
Hinckley, John Hinckley's brother, the evening that John went on his
shooting rampage. John Hinckley, Sr., a reputed CIA officer and close
friend of George Bush was also an important World Vision official).

Like Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley, Jr. also had a copy of Catcher
in the Rye in his possession when apprehended. According to official
reports, Hinckley was also heavily "influenced" by the Travis Bickle
character from the Martin Scorcese film Taxi Driver. (In this film,
Robert DeNiro plays an obsessed gunman who plans to assassinate a
presidential candidate, a character that was inspired by Arthur
Bremer's personal diary).

Like Arthur Bremer, Hinckley traveled extensively around the U.S., and
prior to his assassination attempt on Reagan, was arrested at the
airport in Nashville, Tennessee with three handguns. Curiously,
Hinckley was not placed under any surveillance after this incident. And
in emulation of both Sirhan Sirhan and Bremer, Hinckley also kept a
dairy in which he detailed his plans for shooting Reagan.

There are reports that a Hinckley "double" named "Richardson" traced
Hinckley's path from Colorado to Connecticut, all the while writing
letters to Jodie Foster, just as the real Hinckley did. This Richardson
was arrested with a weapon at New York's Port Authority bus terminal,
claiming he was going to kill Reagan. Richardson and also had links to
World Vision Ministry. No less a figure than conspiracy queen Mae
Brussel allegedly spotted an apparent Hinckley double prior to the
assassination attempt and reported this to the Secret Service. (The
Hinckley double's true name is Edward Richardson, a person who looked
amazingly like Hinckley).

One has to ask the obvious: what are the odds that two "unstable" men
could be obsessed with the same actress from the same film at the same
time, while "behaving" under nearly exact circumstances? That both of
these men were intent on re-creating the Travis Bickle character's
assassination scheme from the movie "Taxi Driver"? What are the chances
that two separate "mentally unstable," lone individuals, with so many
odd similarities, would reach critical mass at the same time and in the
same way?

It is known through court records that Hinckley underwent psychiatric
treatment just prior to his attempt on Reagan and that at the time of
the shooting, he was under the influence of psychiatric drugs.

Found not guilty by reason of insanity, he remains confined to a
psychiatric hospital where he has occasionally corresponded with such
notables as serial killer Ted Bundy and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme of
Manson Family fame and the attempted presidential assassin of Nixon
replacement, Gerald Ford. (There has been speculation that master
mindcontroller Manson himself ordered Lynette Fromme to shoot Ford).

Kerry Thornley

Kerry Thornley has claimed that he and Oswald were both mind-controlled
patsys and involved in the JFK assassination without conscious
knowledge.

Thornley served in the Marine Corps with Oswald. He too, was once
stationed at Atsugi, Japan. Thornley has come to believe that he was,
against his will and without his knowledge, part of the conspiracy that
killed John Kennedy. (Thornley once worked at a Mexican restaurant in
the Little Five Points area, my former neighborhood in Atlanta,
Georgia. I remember him being pointed out to me once at a party and he
was a familiar local figure to everyone. At that time, Thornley was
regarded as just another oddball street personality who had wacky ideas
about the JFK assassination, and no one really gave any particular
credence to what he had to say. This was prior to the revival of mass
interest in the Kennedy assassination that was generated by the release
of the Oliver Stone film, JFK).

Thornley testified before the Warren Commission and at the time he
claims he was satisfied that Oswald was Kennedy's killer. In the book,
Conspiracies, Cover-ups and Crimes, author Jonathan Vankin interviewed
Thornley and reveals, among other things, that Thornley was
living/working in New Orleans at the same time that Oswald was living
there and in a neighborhood that was host to a whole cadre of
intelligence agencies. Thornley reportedly met both Guy Bannister and
David Ferrie while in New Orleans, and after moving to L.A., he met
John Roselli, one of the country's most powerful mobsters and an object
of suspicion regarding the Kennedy assassination. (Roselli was later
found chopped into pieces and stuffed into an oil drum which had been
dumped off the Florida coast shortly before he was to testify before
the House Select Committee on Assassinations)

Vankin's book discusses how in 1961, while living in New Orleans,
Thornley was introduced to a man named "Gary Kirstein" in a New Orleans
bar called the Bourbon House. Thornley recalls that Kirstein was "sort
of a neanderthal racist" and was writing a book titled, "Hitler Was a
Good Guy". Thornley, in recalling the most memorable parts of his
conversation with Kirstein states that he (Kirstein) and himself
debated theoretically on how to assassinate President Kennedy, as if
they were two writers discussing how it could be written in a novel.
Thornley also says that Kirstein basically predicted everything that
was going to happen in the next twenty years, including the Manson
Family, the war in Vietnam, etc. (Thornley states that at the time he
listened to this conversation, he was bored and disbelieving of
Kirstein and that he had blotted out the memory of this conversation
for ten years)

Thornley now believes that Kirstein may have been E. Howard Hunt, CIA
spook extraordinaire and infamous Watergate "plumber". Thornley later
wrote an article entitled, "Did the Plumbers Plug J.F.K., Too?" that
appeared in an Atlanta underground newspaper. In the book Secret and
Suppressed, Thornley wrote an article titled, "Is Paranoia a Form of
Awareness?" in which he writes:

After I wrote Did the Plumbers Plug J.F.K., Too?, I got two unusual
phone calls. First was a male voice imitating the sounds of a speeded-
up tape recorder or a gibberish-talking cartoon character. Ten years
earlier a (New Orleans resident) named Roger Lovin and I used to
address one another in the Bourbon House with identical noises to those
I was now hearing on the other end of the line...This time I simply
replied with a word or two of bewilderment, and the caller hung up.
Within seconds, the phone rang again. Now a male voice-not Roger's-said
very clearly, "Kerry, do you know who this is?" When I answered in the
negative, he said, "Good!" and again the caller hung up. (7)
Thornley said the voice on the telephone brought back "eerie memories"
and sounded similar to the voice of the "Kirstein/Hunt" individual from
New Orleans. (Shades of Telefon?) Also while in Atlanta, Thornley went
to the Atlanta police during a time that an interest in new allegations
regarding the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. were being
investigated because he again "remembered that Kirstein had also talked
about killing King". Twelve days after making statements to the police,
Thornley was attacked and pistol-whipped by two men in ski masks who,
strangely, took only his identification.

Thornley believed that he was programmed for some part in the
assassination of Kennedy and that "Kirstein" was his controller and may
have implanted some sort of device in his brain.

Donald DeFreeze

The "leader" of the Symbionese Liberation Army, who (like Manson) was
imprisoned at Vacaville during the time of the MKULTRA experiments, may
have been a CIA, FBI "agent provocateur". He may also have been mind-
controlled. According to the Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen:

There was something queer about the SLA all along. Its leader,
Donald "General Field Marshall Cinque" DeFreeze-career crook and
informer for the LAPD-emerged from the California penal system's
Vacaville Medical Facility where he'd come under the tutelage of CIA
agent Colston Westbrook, a psychological warfare specialist. Westbrook
enlisted DeFreeze into his "Black Cultural Association." Armed robber
DeFreeze obtained early release from Vacaville by performing "a favor"
for prison authorities. (Doing a "favor" was in reference to submitting
to psychiatric experiments). The SLA went public with the assassination
of African-American Oakland school superintendent Dr. Marcus Foster on
Nov. 6, 1973. Just weeks earlier, a neo-Nazi group issued a flyer
predicting Foster's death. "Black men" were witnessed scurrying from
the scene of the crime but the arrested shooters were whites. Black
face makeup was discovered in their apartments. (8)
Regarding the use of makeup and other theatrical props, consider the
following: In a Strange Magazine article, The Makeup Man and the
Monster: John Chambers and the Patterson Bigfoot Suit, author/editor
Mark Chorvinsky mounted an investigation into whether the
famous "Wright- Patterson Bigfoot film, a virtual cornerstone in the
investigations and belief of the existence of Bigfoot, was actually a
hoax perpetrated by renowned Hollywood makeup/effects artist John
Chambers. The film was allegedly shot on October 20, 1967 and shows
what is purported to be an actual Bigfoot creature as it walks through
the forest in California. The footage has been featured in numerous
television shows and films and is usually the film people think about
when debating the reality of the creature.

During Chorvinsky's investigation, he interviewed many of Hollywood's
most prominent makeup artists. Chorvinsky writes: "I have investigated
many phenomena over the past decade, and some of the cases have been
quite controversial, but rarely has anyone requested anonymity...I'm in
the awkward position of knowing more than I can tell at this time. One
aspect of either (John) Chambers' career or the legends surrounding it
is the buzz about Chambers' involvement in government-sponsored "black
box" work. No one has ever been willing to go on the record concerning
this alleged work, but within the Hollywood makeup community it is
generally believed that such work did occur and that it has added to
the secretiveness of Chambers and his closet associates...Widespread
rumors in the makeup community depict Chambers applying a wig and
prosthetics to a cadaver to fake the death of a foreign ruler, and
engaging in a number of "Company"-sponsored "non-theatrical" projects.
These black box rumors are all reminiscent of Mission Impossible plots,
many of which relied on disguises, some courtesy of Chambers' makeup
prowess. One rumor depicts the CIA watching Mission Impossible on
television and getting disguise ideas from it, then going after the
makeup artist, Chambers, to work for them...we do know for a fact that
Hollywood makeup artists have been instrumental in various
military/intelligence projects...In this regard I interviewed Bob
Schiffer, the head of Disney's makeup and hair department with over
sixty years in the business. The veteran makeup master touched on this
sensitive topic:

John did mention to me at one time that he was involved in something
for the government. Some of us, including myself, were recruited during
World War II by (then Lieutenant) Gordon Bau for undercover work of a
certain type. Sometimes we did not know what the makeup was used for. A
lot of us did camouflage work in World War II. I was also involved in
the years after the war. In the Bay of Pigs invasion we made up people
to look Cuban. (Emphasis added) (9)
The SLA saga continues to make its presence known because of the
possibility that CIA-sponsored mind-control programs may have been
used, in part, as a means to control the public's perception of black
militants and left-wing politics in America.

Was DeFreeze mind-controlled? His history is somewhat clouded, but it
appears that he first worked as a snitch/informant for the LAPD's
Criminal Conspiracy Section, supplying information about black militant
organizations during the 60's. During the early 70's, DeFreeze was
serving a sentence in Vacaville Prison during the time that the CIA was
alleged to have been conducting drug experiments there at what was
notoriously known as the "third floor." According to author Mick
Farren:

"DeFreeze became a (CIA) test subject and also recruited others under
the cover of leading a self-help group called the 'Black Cultural
Association.' DeFreeze's own statement is that he was drugged and
conditioned by CIA agents and instructed that he would become "the
leader of a radical movement and kidnap a wealthy person." After
escaping through a conveniently unlocked exit door, DeFreeze did
exactly that."

Rev. Jim Jones

Jim Jones was the supposed mastermind behind the People's Temple
massacre in Guyana where over a thousand people died. One would have to
wonder if perhaps Jim Jones had also read Stranger in a Strange Land or
Catcher in the Rye.

It is possible that the real purpose behind Jonestown was to create a
breeding ground for mind-controlled assassins like Chapman and
Hinckley. (The People's Temple also had ties to the World Vision
ministry).

The official version of this story is that Jones' followers committed
mass suicide by swallowing cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in an act of
religious devotion to Jones. However, new information stresses the
possibility that this "massacre" was in reality an MKULTRA mind-control
experiment, conducted by the CIA, and that most of the dead were
actually murdered. (Drugs such as those used in known MKULTRA
operations were discovered at Jonestown, including a whopping 11,000
doses of Thorazine, a major tranquilizer used in psychiatric
hospitals). (10)

In a recording made during the final moments of the mass deaths in
Jonestown, Jim Jones can be heard shouting, "Get Dwyer out of here," in
reference to Richard Dwyer, a CIA agent who was present during
the "massacre". Evidence gathered by other researchers points to a
strong CIA presence in almost all of the dealings of Jim Jones before,
during and after Jonestown and to the Guyana site itself.

There is evidence that Jones used doubles and even some confusion as to
whether it was the genuine Jones whose body was found among the dead,
as photographs of what is alleged to be his body are missing his
tattoos.

Witnesses to the shooting of Congressman Leo Ryan and others at the
Jonestown site describe the assailants as "zombie-like" and
emotionless.

In reference to a rumored "death list" compiled by the People's Temple,
a congressional aide was quoted as saying, "There are 120 white,
brainwashed assassins out from Jonestown awaiting the trigger word to
pick up their hit." (Emphasis added) (11)

Serial Killers

The explosive rise in the 1980's of the serial killer phenomenon makes
one wonder if perhaps what we are seeing is the result of government
mind-control experiments gone awry, that perhaps these repetitive
killers are part of a stockpile of "sleepers" who woke up too early or
whose programming mechanism has been inadvertently triggered in some
way.

Consider that for the most part, serial killers tend to prey on the so-
called "undesirables" of society, such as prostitutes, homosexuals, and
other targeted minorities of the ultra-right wing. (The FBI's
Behavioral Science Unit has stated that as many as 150 serial killers
may be operating undetected in the United States).

Serial killers, like mind-controlled sleepers, outwardly appear normal
to the rest of the world, but also seem to be acting under a programmed
obsession to kill, usually in the same way, over and over again, as if
trying to fulfill some sort of mission that is echoing around in their
heads.

Examples of this phenomenon would include the infamous Zodiac serial
killer who terrorized the Vallejo and San Francisco areas of California
during the mid-60's. It has been verified that at least five people
were murdered there by an unknown killer who called himself "Zodiac."
(The Zodiac case is officially still unsolved and the killer has never
been caught or positively identified. Some investigators have theorized
that Zodiac may have even continued his murder spree as late as 1978,
but this has not been positively verified).

This highly intelligent and purposely enigmatic killer sent dozens of
letters, some containing coded messages and diagrams, to area
newspapers. In these letters he detailed his crimes and taunted the
police by threatening to commit future crimes. Zodiac claimed that
within the coded information he had identified himself to the
authorities. Many investigators believe that the Zodiac murders may
have begun in Riverside, California in October of 1966 with the murder
of an 18 year old college student named Cherie Jo Bates. Zodiac's MO
was to attack couples who were parked in their cars in out of the way
lover's lanes, but strangely, his last verified murder was of a lone
male cab driver named Paul Stine in downtown San Francisco.

The case is still open to debate as far as Zodiac's motives are
concerned: According to one researcher, many of the Zodiac murders took
place on important dates according to the astrological signs of the
Zodiac. According to another, the postmarks of four of Zodiac's
letters mailed in 1974, in the order of their mailing, form a giant "Z"
on a map of the Bay Area. During the time of the known murders, the
press and media strongly hinted that the Zodiac was a crazed hippie and
thus aligned with left-wing politics. Author Gareth Penn has theorized
that cabdriver Stine may have been chosen because Zodiac needed a
victim who he could place in a certain area at a certain time in order
to construct a giant, geometric shape on the San Francisco Bay area
landscape as a sort of evil, multi-dimensional, art project.

Among the many cryptic letters that Zodiac sent to the press and police
was a highly intricate and complex character cipher containing over 300
coded symbols. (This cipher was eventually cracked by an amateur
husband and wife team who saw it in the paper).

The Zodiac's exact body count is still disputed to this day as police
officials and other investigators are unable to agree on the exact
number of his victims.

Interestingly, one letter attributed to Zodiac was mailed from San
Francisco and arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle on February 14,
1974, seven days after the Symbionese Liberation Army had kidnaped
Patty Hearst. In this letter, the author pointed out that the
abbreviation "SLA" meant "kill" in the old Norse language.

The Zebra Killings

San Francisco's "Zebra killings," a murder spree roughly simultaneous
during the time that the SLA was active, were allegedly perpetrated by
American Black Muslims motivated by "revenge" on the white race. Given
the history of such tactics as the use of disinformation and smear
campaigns against "subversive" groups, it is possible that this was a
CIA/FBI program to discredit the Muslim movement in America, and that
the murders were possibly committed by whites in black face makeup. For
a 179-day period, the "Zebra" killers brutally assaulted, robbed, and
sodomized a total of twenty-three persons, leaving fifteen dead.

These crimes were allegedly carried out by a Nation of Islam group that
called themselves the "Death Angels" and who believed that they were
serving Allah by killing "blue-eyed devils," i.e. Caucasians. To become
a Death Angel, a member supposedly had to kill either nine white males,
five white females, or four white children in order to earn
their "wings". Polaroid photographs were taken of the victims at the
murder sites as proof by the murderers that the killings had been
accomplished. These murders were supposed to guarantee the killers a
special place in Mecca in the afterlife. (The police estimated that up
to two thousand persons earned their "wings").

The code-named "Zebra" killings (so-called by police because the crimes
involved black on white crimes) took place in San Francisco during a
six month period from 1973 to 1974 and occurring during the time of
CIA/FBI involvement in Vacaville and anti-subversive type operations in
California. The murders involved shootings, stabbings, and hackings
with machetes.

On January 28, 1974, the killers claimed five victims in one night. A
group of five black Muslims were arrested and accused of being the
principal perpetrators, but one defendant (A.C. Harris) turned
informant and testified with immunity. According to some sources, up to
twenty of these killers were never caught or identified. The Nation of
Islam paid for three defense attorneys during the trial. All of the
suspects received life sentences.

Disconnected Connections

The religious "cults" that come under public scrutiny always seem to
involve accusations of mind-control. Do the implications of government
involvement in a place like Jonestown and what we now know about
MKULTRA suggest that we will see this sort of history repeat
itself? "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
are the very words that were displayed prominently on a sign above the
pulpit at Jonestown.

What will future investigations reveal as to CIA/intelligence ties
lying behind other groups such as the Branch Davidians or even Heaven's
Gate? Consider the rumblings that have been heard regarding Timothy
McViegh and a supposed mind-control device implanted in his buttocks.
Perhaps McViegh received a special telephone call just prior to the
events in Oklahoma City...?

In response to public outcry in 1977, Congress forbade further research
into mind-control and demanded that these programs be terminated.
Former CIA man Victor Marchetti has revealed that as of today, so-
called "black programs" working with mind-control still exist, only now
they are better hidden. A new project that works with "synthetic
telepathy" supposedly has the ability to remotely transmit microwave
voices into the heads of targeted persons. This device and others are
known as Less Than Lethal (LTL) weapons, according to an article that
ran in the April, 1994 issue of Scientific American. (12) During the
NBC documentary The Other Side, Major Edward Dames of the Pentagon's
Defense Intelligence Agency stated that "The U.S. Government has an
electronic device which could implant thoughts in people." He refused
further comment afterward.

And so the beat goes on. Your tax dollars are at work, even as you
sleep. And who knows, maybe the next ringing telephone could be a "wake-
up call" for either you or me?

King Pharmakos: JFK and Masonic Mind Games

by Jason Wynd

John F. Kennedy, the one and only Catholic president of the United
States, was a human skapegoat, a “pharmakos.”... Masonry does not
believe in murdering a man in just any old way and in the JFK
assassination it went to incredible lengths and took great risks in
order to make this heinous act correspond to the ancient fertility
oblation of the Killing of the King.

—James Shelby Downard: “Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of
Symbolism,” Secret and Supressed.

In his last, unspoken speech, JFK was to have said these words: “We, in
this age, are the watchmen on the worlds of world freedom. For as was
written long ago, “Except the Lord keepeth the city, the watchmen
waketh but in vain.’” So much has been writen and speculated upon the
JFK assassination that there seems nothing that could possibly be added
to deepen or fathom the mystery. It stands as the grand-daddy of
conspiracy theories, the one outstanding case of myth overlapping with
conventional history, and even the scoffers are forced to concede the
reality of the occult agenda. What new, unconsidered element can we
posibly add to the pot to spice up the dish and make it worth serving
up yet another time for consumption? Perhaps the existece of not
inconsiderable evidence that suggests Kennedy himself knew of his
destiny, and even perhaps had a hand in its enactment? This, of course,
would be the ultimate conspiracy theory to end all theories, and
perhaps even to render them obsolete, for if the victim and the
perpetrators were themselves working in tandem, where exactly can the
conspiracy be said to exist? Everywhere and nowhere, plainly. President
John F. Kennedy was quoted as saying, a mere ten days before his
death: “The high office of President has been used to forment a plot
against the American people. Before I leave office, I must inform the
citizen of his plight.” These words have been taken as further evidence
of the threat which JFK posed to the shadow government, but they may
also indicate that JFK was not wholly unwitting a player in his own
assassination: in offering himself up to be martyred on the cross of
conspiracy, it was almost as if he was assuming responsibilty for the
sins of his office. After all, the office of the President in the 20th
Century would seem to have become nothing less that the exoteric,
mundane equivalent to the old, apocalyptic tradition of “the beast”;
not, of course, in the true esoteric sense of “instructor,” but rather
in the judo-christian sense of “anti-christ,” the world-deceiver—he who
leads the world, through evil wiles and false charm, to the very edges
of Armageddon. America, of course, needs a dashing hero for its tyrant,
not so much someone it can respect as someone it can adore. Yet the
office of president has be reduced, in paranoid thought, to little more
than that of a janitor: he keeps the House looking orderly, clean and
respectable for visitors, appearing to run smoothly, but he is “boss,”
as such, only of his own closet, stuck amongst the brooms and dustpans
with all the other Whitehouse “plumbers.” By such reasoning, the whole
of visible world government becomes no more than a broom closet, a
basement underlying a pyramidical heirarchy of control that extends to
who knows what kind of heights. The whole circus of elections and
senates and state and whitehouses is seen merely to be a form of
mindless “entertainment” for the masses, with no more intrinsic value
than the latest flood of TV bile-fodder. Presidents, like TV talk-show
hosts, come and go, but the program remains essentially the same (it’s
at this point that paranoia and cynicsm overlap).

Kennedy was the last American president to be a hero to his people. It
is well known that he modelled himself after the Arthurian mythos, and
Arthur in turn is but an updating of the Christ archetype, complete
with friend-betrayer, Lancelot. In his spare time, Kennedy was said to
be mildly obssessed with the idea of being assassinated, and his
sacrifice—willing or not—was beyond doubt the most public act of murder
in history: apart from any other meaning it may have had, it functioned
as the most powerful and profound act of propaganda ever accomplished.
As the scapegoat for a nation, maybe even an entire race, JFK’s death
was not so much a political blow as a mythical, psychological one: a
coup, the aim of which has never really been acknowledged by the
public. If we are to take paranoid reasoning to its logical conclusion,
beyond the sphere of the mundane and the temporal and into the surreal,
or spiritual, we have no choice but to accept that the object of the
JFK assassination was not that of mere espionage or intrigue—but that
of sorcery.

By presenting the initiate with vivid and cathartic scenes of such
archetypal matters as life and death and inducing their direct
participation, it was hoped to instill certain gnostic and epiphanous
experiences deeply within the subconscious.
Jacques Vallee

Part of the Kennedy mythos is owing to the fact that he was—and by and
large still is—perceived as an “innocent”: young, attractive, poetic of
nature (of Irish descent, no less), and above all idealistic.
Regardless of his mind or hands, it is generally agreed that his heart
was in the right place, and his undeniably nefarious dealings with the
mob, the intelligence agencies, and so forth, as well as his shady
relations with Marilyn Monroe (and probable hand in her death), have
all been, to this day, successfully stone-walled or white-washed out of
existence. No one writes books about the corruption of Camelot, but
only about the corrupt forces which overthrew it, so Kennedy himself
remains a more or less untarnished symbol of the ideal leader-figure,
not least of all because he was murdered. Bumped off conveniently, like
Lincoln, and like so many artists and rock stars, before he could
himself tarnish this image with “unworthy” or misguided acts. Who
killed JFK is as irrelevant, finally, as how: the evidence is right
before our eyes, on film no less. That’s the point: we have only to
look. The most inspired and deranged answer is also the simplest and
most incredible: the driver did it, namely the president’s very own
right-hand man! There exists a very poor copy of the
supposed “evidence,” as presented by “agent” Bill Cooper, who
demonstrates that the Zapruder film was scraped and scratched about and
over-exposed to conceal the actions of the driver. In the film in
question, it is just about possible to see the driver, William Greer,
turn around (as the senator behind him reaches over and takes the
steering wheel) remove a pistol from his jacket, and point it at
Kennedy, following which occurs the famous exploding head shot. There
are, besides this irrefutable and most confounding “evidence,” enough
disparate sources (in my own experience) claiming the same thing to
give this theory as much, and maybe a lot more, weight than any other
theory about the assassination. Apart from anything else, it goes a
long way to explaining one curious detail—namely, just what the hell
Jackie was doing when she clambered onto the back of the car. If they
were really being shot at from without, why would she try to escape the
automobile? Any rational-minded person would simply get their head
down, out of sight, while attending to their bloodied hubbie. Instead,
she scrambles madly over the back seat and onto the boot of the car,
and is there forced back inside by one of the SS running alongside the
car. The “official” explanation for this curiosty of human behaviour is
that she was trying to salvage her husband’s brains; like so many
other “offical explanations,” it seems little more than a sly jibe at
the näivete of the public’s critical faculties: a mini-version of the
Big Lie Theory, cases of which are so abundant in the history of
conspiracy and foul play. This quasi-explanation is just strange,
absurd and improbable enough for most people to believe it: what it is
saying is that Jackie lost her own head, and acted completely
irrationally. But is it not logcial to assume there may be another,
more rational interpretation of her behaviour? That, fearing she was
next, she did what any sane person would do—she made a run for it?

The point of uncovering the “real assassin” in this case is just this:
to the paranoid mind, it doesn’t matter who did it. To him the JFK
conspiracy is of such far-reaching dimensions as to include absolutely
everyone who has any reason to be included. Those behind the conspiracy
keep their silence, for obvious reasons, while those who attempt to
expose it are simply silenced, one way or another. Our paranoid knows
how paranoid all this sounds, even to himself, but he has no option
left, once he has taken on board the magikal dimension to the mystery,
which extends it in his mind from local to global to cosmic
proportions. As a psycho-story or collective myth spilling out from our
psyches into the world at large, we are all involved in it. As the
great mystic-paranoid researcher James Shelby Downard warns us:
Do not be lulled into believing that just because the deadening
American city of dreadful night is so utterly devoid of mystery, so
thoroughly flat-footed, sterile and infantile, so burdened with the
illusory gloss of baseball-hot dogs-apple pie-and-Chevrolet, that it
exists outside the psycho-sexual domain. The eternal pagan psychodrama
is escalated under these so-called modern conditions precisely because
sorcery is not what “20th century man” can accept as real.

So let’s look at it this way, through a paranoid glass, darkly: the
conspiracy was so intricately planned and so masterfully orchestrated
as to include the president’s own bodyguard, and not only to include
him, in fact, but to place his finger right there on the trigger of the
proverbial “smoking gun.” What does this imply? like everything else in
the paranoid’s “plot,” its meaning is symbolic more than factual. It
even becomes conceivable, via the folklore or “Manchurian candidates,”
that “They,” by whatever combination of hypnotic suggestion, intensive
pre-programming, microwave emissions, etc, which were presumably used
on Greer (just as they were used on Whitman and Hinckley and Chapman
and Sirhan Sirhan and all the other “lone nut” assassins), might just
as well have been used to get Kennedy to kill himself—on national TV,
for example. Now there’s a coup for you. But this although such an
event would be sufficiently dramatic, it would not have served the
specifically sorcerous purposes of the assassination, as living
propaganda, directed at the collective consciousness of America (and by
extension the world). It was not only necessary that the king die, but
that he be sacrificed by others, much, if not exactly, as Christ had
been before him.

The whole conspiracy-mania that has since ensued, the subtle but
pervasive sense of malevolence, is as much a part of the “plot” as the
murder itself. The cover-up has been from the start deliberately in
evidence to all and any who care to look for it, but what lies beneath
it is another matter. The conspiracy in a sense is the cover-up,
arranged in many layers, like an onion, like chinese boxes, each one
composed of elements of the truth, but arranged in such a way as to
constitute just more corrosive, paranoia-inducing deception. Kennedy
was sacrificed, not because he was gunning for the mafia, or out to
dismantle the CIA, or to reveal “the alien truth" to the American
public, or to withdraw from Vietnam, or end the cold war, or any single
factor: the man himself was never a threat to any of the above, for how
could one man, and a puppet-man at that, ever be a threat to those that
hold the strings? All these so-called murder motives were presumably
part of the reason that Kennedy was chosen to begin with, and it seems
fair to assume, finally, that JFK was elected precisely in order to be
martyred, i.e., for his pharmakotic qualities.

“The ultimate purpose of that assassination was,” as Downard puts
it, “not political or economic, but sorcerous; for the control of the
dreaming mind is the underlying motive in this entire scenario...”
The intent, then, behind all the “lies, cruelty and degradation” was
simply this: total disillusionment of the people. The murder of JFK
proved to the American people, and to the world, at a subconscious
level, certain, basic “facts”: Innocence does not protect; crime pays;
no one is safe. The precious order of so-called civilization is no more
than a thin and tenuous facade, which at any moment can—and will—
collapse, revealing only awful, all-consuming chaos behind it. The
president, or any other world figure, is no more than a marionette, a
figure-head just waiting to explode, leaving nothing behind but smoke
and brains. The real “power” of government is spread out, diffused,
impossible to pinpoint or expose, or to resist; it is vast and
unknowable, like God himself. It may depose or dispose of these figure-
heads it has chosen when and how it likes, by means fair or foul but
usually foul, subtle or brutal, but most often a sly, insidious
mixture of the two. All politics is a game of chess, in which the power
is on high, unseen, and in which the pieces have only and exactly the
power which they are permitted to wield, as tools. In this our present
example of the paranoid perspective of “politics as theatre,” it is
proven, beyond reasonable doubt, by a single act—unimaginable travesty
to cement the tragedy and add insult to injury—when what by all rights
should be impossible, from the point of view of “the pieces on the
board,” happens: PAWN TAKES KING.

The very image of the world’s beloved idol having his brains blown out
the back of his head in broad daylight (by his own driver, what’s
more), captured on film and so witnessed over generations, is now
imprinted on the collective consciousness of mankind forever. Such a
program serves, above all, as both warning and threat, and, most
implicitly and perhaps most diabolically of all: a promise. All is not
aught, nothing is true, everything is permitted. Abandon hope: the
gates of Hell have blown open. One bullet can end the dreams of a
lifetime, of a hundred million lifetimes, of history itself. So what
are you going to do about it? The question is not a question, the
question is a sneer and a gloat.

Like a haunted house draining its occupants of will in return for sleep
without nightmares, American people are mental captives of a Horror
that feeds them misinformation as its stone bell tolls the death of
individuality.... The hoodwinked populace, unfortunately, will sink
lower and lower as they discover the extent to which they have been
duped and may, reactively, search for a ruler to drug them or put them
to sleep, to make them less aware. (Downard)

More than anything else, JFK’s death propagated a sense of total,
final, unquestionable and irredeemable powerlessness; of paranoid
awareness, certainly, but also of despair. These three attitudes—
paranoia, impotence, despair—are consolidated in the dim, dark and mute
acquiesence of the mass. Acquiescence to the indisputable existence and
the unchallengable sovreignty of malevolence and chaos, of conspiracy
and deception, and of evil across the board.

Uncle Sam’s Arms: Jonestown and the Politics of Genocide

by Jason Wynd

Consequently, in the interest of future world order, peace, and
tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the
American people.
—Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

Just what is it that makes the United States of America the
most violent, volatile and dangerous country in the world, a veritable
hot-bed of murder, madness and mayhem? America is the first truly
modern nation, the first to be founded on guns, not just on sex and
violecne, but on drugs and rock ’n’ roll too. Originally the
government, according to the consititution, was simply a party of
elect “organizers” (not controllers) employed by the people for the
people. The people, in order to ensure against any exploitation of
their liberty or rights by their government, was a fully-armed and
organized force in itself, and if the people could at a pinch do
without the government, the government had no function, or even
reality, outside the will of the people. In The Ominous Parallels (New
York, Penguin, 1993), Leonard Peikoff cites the constitution of the
Founding Fathers: “‘to secure these rights [of the individual],
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed...’ The powers of the government are,
therefore, limited, not merely de facto or by default, but on
principle: government is forbidden to infringe man’s right...”

Since the time of the Founding Fathers, however, the original
intentions have been wholly perverted, the pyramid, as such, inverted,
and the all-seeing eye closed for business. Government’s purpose became
no longer to protect and serve its people, but rather to oppress and to
abuse them, and if possible to do away with them altogether. Two
factors are essential to the maintenance of this autonomous, self-
serving “government”: having formed its own armies, it seeks first of
all to keep the potentially subversive “mass” both docile and servile,
to impose upon them a level of almost total dependence, faith and
loyalty towards their “big borther”, or Uncle Sam. This blind “loyalty”
is achieved by what is known as “the protection racket”: the social
climate of the nation must be one of instability—volatile,
unpredictable, chaotic, and to this end a level of urban aggression and
petty crime must be maintained, if not merely encouraged, then actively
created. “The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the
more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to
create problems and then offer the solutions.”

The second factor esssential to the State’s supremacy over its people
concerns the power inherant in that people, contingent on the sheer
strength of numbers and the solidarity of the group: this solidarity
must be stripped away by any means possible, steadily eroded, and
replaced by fear, suspicion, and confusion. At an emotional and
psychological level, this serves to isolate the individual from
his “people,” and leads to a falling away of his responsiblity and
courage, as he feels less and less the strength of the community, and
only the security of hiding within it. At a more concrete level, within
that community, as mistrust and suspicion grows, there will be a
corresponding breakdown organization, communication, understanding and
stability, leading to confusion and false docility in the individual,
and to the a steady turning of the group towards the government body,
in search of their lost sense of order and cohesion. Little by little,
then, the people are made to give up everything: their solidarity,
their power, their dignity, their self-respect, their freedom, and
finally, most mundanely, their arms. All arms are property of Uncle
Sam.

A strange kind of vicious circle is propagated this way: the more
violent the society becomes, the more demand there is for personal
protection, while at the same time, the more suspicion, hostility and
paranoia increases between the individuals living in this society.
Through steady manipulation not only of information (via the media) but
of the events themselves—social engineering creates its own propaganda,
its own proofs and finally its own history—the “rising tide of
violence” in society is blamed on the availability of these arms, just
as if people had no choice as to how they used them. Hence the liberal
portion of the population favors disarmament on a national scale,
failing to realize that—the very argument many have used against
disarmament on a global scale—these arms are a major, perhaps
essential, deterrant against the government overriding the people
entirely, and establishing an overtly totalitarian state. If arms were
simply outlawed, it is reasoned, a great many people would hold on to
their guns anyway (in perfectly justified paranoia), whereas if the
majority can be convinced that it is for their own protection that they
must surrender up their arms (the very last thing that protects them),
then the desired police state might more effectively be established.
Above all else, this program requires the complete annihilation of the
argument that, if guns were criminalized, only the criminals would have
them, bascially by suggesting that only a criminal would need to have a
firearm in the first place. The fact is, rather, that once guns are
rendered illegal, only the government and its armed forces would have
them.

All this has been a major digression, for two primary reasons: one,
that of all paranoid perspectives, perhaps the most pervasive and
organized—in the US at least—is that of the “patriot movement” which is
summed up above, namely, the fear of a military take-over by the
government. The second reason for the digression is that this
hypothetical agenda—the disarming of the populace in order to make them
vulnerable to a coup d’etat—ties in more or less seamlessly with a much
profounder, more sinister and far-reaching agenda, one that pertains to
a different order of paranoia altogether, that of event manipulation,
or what we have termed “Masonic Sorcery Theatre.” From this particular
perspective, all violent crimes and aberrational acts of mayhem—one way
or another—are seen as but individual enactments of a vast,
unimaginably complex and mind-numbingly grotesque global operation that
can only be adequately described—with all the implications of the word—
as diabolical. The upshoot of this macabre and twisted agenda appears
to be—in the equally macabre and twisted mind of the paranoid—nothing
less than the reduction of society to a state of fear and loathing—of
outright insanity, savagery, cruelty and wanton chaos—and of the
individual himself to little more than a stark, raving lunatic. Yet at
the same time, both the chaos and the insanity are—in the paranoid’s
awareness—seen as strictly ordered, and even programmed, according to
specific designs. These designs are, by definition, beyond the scope
of any single perspective or human imagination, but may best be summed
up by the phrase, “apocalypse engineering”; or else, more
esoterically: “immanentizing the eschaton.”

To bring this cosmic agenda back down to Earth, and to the original
premise, the program of event-manipulation or “mythological
engineering” which our paranoid imagines to be behind all wordly
events is intended to do away with all individual rights for self-
protection, and even autonomy of any kind, by accomplishing what might
be termed, “the criminalization of the citizen” (balanced of course by
the mafia-intelligence link-ups which amount to the mirror image of
this: “the citizenship of the criminal”). All this intrigue involves
the most profound type of propaganda imaginable, its aims not only to
alter the roles of the individual in society, but that of his very
nature within the world, in short, to prove that he is an
uncontrollable maniac who—given the slightest chance—will go on an
insane killing-spree and wipe out half the neighbourhood. Of course,
this is really the founding lie of all government: to justify its
laying down of the law in the first place it must first establish the
need for this law. Disorder is required to make a demand for order,
therefore, government must create a sufficient level of crime and
social upheaval to merit the strong-arm tactics which it has always
intended to employ. The element of sheer depravity and of wanton
violence that is more or less new to our present century is an
indication—to the paranoid—of just how far this “agenda” has
progressed, and of just how “strong” this “arm” intends to become.

The basic nova technique is very simple: always create as many
insoluable conflicts as possible and always aggravate existing
conflicts—This is done by dumping on the same planet life-forms with
incompatible conditions of existence—There is of course nothing “wrong’
about any given life form since “wrong” only has reference to conflicts
with other life forms—The point is these life forms should not be on
the same planet.
—William Burroughs, The Ticket that Exploded

If a considerable percentage of the population is
considered “volatile,” i.e., violently unstable, this will justify the
direction of the entire apparati of society towards the creation of a
kind of giant lunatic asylum, one in which—it could be argued—all laws
and restrictions are designed only to punish or oppress those insane or
evil enough to resist them. In other words, “anyone who steps out of
line will get swatted.” Of course, what this entails is a self-
fulfilling agenda of legalized violence and oppression, in a word,
tyranny. Once again, paranoid awareness can been seen to overlap
comfortably with ordinary “cynicism,” or what in this case amounts to
simple logical deduction.

The concentration camp may well be the closest we have come to seeing a
working model of this theoretical future society that exists in the
best nightmares of the paranoid. It should be noted that it was
possible to survive in a Nazi concentration camp, provided one was
prepared to shift one’s allegiance from victim to victimizer—or from
individual to “state,”—and become, in effect, one of the guards. What
we have called “the criminalization of the citizen” appears to be—in
the eyes of the paranoid at least—part of a larger program that
involves a sort of across-the-board “clean-up deal” aimed at
all “undesirable elements” in society, who are to be marked for
displacement and possible eradication in the dreaded “relocation
centers.” If such a program were ever to be realized, however, it would
logically be necessary to target certain minorites first, in order to
avoid a general panic—and even possible uprising—in the face of wholly
indiscriminate government persecutions. So long as the individual can
feel assured that it’s only the other guy—the nigger, the fag, the
kike, the junky, the hippy, the freak, the weirdo, the smoker or the
jay-walker—he will usually be willing to remain passive and do nothing,
on the slim chance that he himself will escape the persecutions.

Knowing, of course, that the “nigger-lover” or “liberal,” or anyone who
makes any attempt to intervene—or even criticize the process—will be
treated with the exact same measure of expedience. Such a person is
designated immediately to the ever-growing ranks of “undesirables,” a
definition that will presumably extend its reach to eventually include
the entire population, minus those in power, naturally.

To sum up this hypothetical agenda, then, the population must, as
individuals, be reduced to:

a) slaves, i.e., trusting, servile and dependent.
b) wimps, i.e., powerless, disorganized and fearful.
c) dupes, i.e., meek, passive and ignorant.
d) creeps, i.e., isolated, selfish and aggressive.

The concentration camp, as a model, serves all four of these purposes:
it serves not merely as a prison and a slaughterhouse, but also as a
laboratory. At the same time, the idea of it functions not only as a
threat and a warning to the world, but also as a form of propaganda, a
means for showing what slaves and creeps the human race is made up of.
Which brings us to Jonestown.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it

—Sign over Jim Jones’ chair at Jonestown

Jonestown was many things to many people, but what concerns us
here is first and foremost the paranoid’s perception of Jonestown,
namely as being one isolated case in a larger design; from this
perspective, then, Jonestown might best be seen as a model for the
future: one of many, but one of the few to ever be exposed for what it
was. In the paranoid’s understanding, many other secular “religious”
communities founded by the intelligence network in actual fact serve
similar purposes (the paranoid’s list is extensive, and should be
researched with a sober head: the Moonies, the Rajneesh Foundation in
Oregon, Horesch’s Waco commune and the “Heaven’s Gate” troop all have
the ear-marks of government-funded programs). First of all,
these “communities” serve in a not-so subtle fashion to round
up “undesirables”: drifters, hippies, blacks, single women, etc.

Secondly, they appear also to function as experimental environments in
which the “inmates” are used as guinea pigs for testing the latest
advances in mind control drugs, new viral strains, and so forth. The
end of these experiments—if not actual genocide—appears to be to reduce
individuals to a state of total submission and relative mindlessness.
(Basically the same procedure was perfected by Pavlov and his dogs: a
simple “reward and punishment” agenda, though in the present case it
would be enhanced immeasurably by the use of hallucinogenic drugs and
all the latest tools of “psychotronic” technology. ) Thirdly, the
camps would serve as raw material for a more elaborate kind of social
engineering, or pyschological warfare. When news of Jonestown came out,
for example, the “facts” of the matter were almost entirely fabricated
with a specific end in mind, and the results speak for themselves, even
if few ever bothered to look closely at the evidence. The public—
unquestioning, unthinking—will always to believe what it is told,
provided it is told by a sufficiently authorative source such as the
mass media. But the facts of Jonestown flew brazenly in the face of
the “offical story,” as we shall see, thereby leaving ample room for
the paranoid imagination to flower in.

Jim Jones himself had possible but unverified connections to the CIA,
and although his vocation as religious dictator came at an early age
(his father belonged to the Ku Klux Klan, and Jones worked as a
minister and faith-healer as a young man), there seems little doubt
that his career did not really take off until someone—almost certainly
with governmental affiliations—was behind him. There are various
conflicting theories on this, however, and it is not in our interests
to pit them against each other. The original reports on the news and in
the papers were that 400 had died in Jonestown, but that 700 had fled
into the forest. By all accounts there were at least 1,100 people
there. A week later, however, the official body count was 913; 167
survivors returned to the US. The original explanation of this
discrepancy was that the Guyanese “could not count.” Next, the bodies
were said to have been hidden behind the pavillion (a small house, yet
the authorites had been on the scene for days). The official account
finally stated that some bodies had been on top of other bodies, in
other words, that 408 bodies had somehow hidden another 505 bodies from
view. This is a typical example of a cover-up adhering to the rules of—
keep them in the dark, but if possible, insult their intelligence while
you’re at it! (equating with Hitler’s “Big Lie” theory) Any thinking
person would simply have returned to the original report, and assumed
it to be the correct one: 400 had died, 700 had fled into the jungle. A
week later, 500 of this 700 was also dead, at which point there
naturally arises the question: who killed them?

The facts of the case are many and myriad, so let us allow an “expert”
of paranoid awareness to take over at this point, the following quotes
from John Judge’s piece, “The Black Hole of Guyana,” in Secret and
Suppressed.

At the Jonestown site, survivors described a special group of Jones’
followers who were allowed to carry weapons and money, and to come and
go from the camp. These people were all white, mostly males. They ate
better and worked less than the others, and they served as an armed
guard to enforce discipline, control labor and restrict movements...
The dead were 90 percent women, and 80 percent blacks. ...According to
survivors’ reports, they entered a virtual slave labor camp. Worked for
16 to 18 hours daily, they were forced to live in cramped quarters on
minimum rations, usually rice, bread and sometimes rancid meat. Kept on
a schedule of physical and mental exhaustion, they were forced to stay
awake at night and listen to lectures by Jones... The camp medical
staff... administered drugs, and kept daily medical records.

Infractions of the rules or disloyalty led to increasingly harsh
punishments, including forced drugging, sensory isolation in an
undergound box, physical torture and public sexual rape and
humiliation. ...On the scene at Jonestown, Guyanese troops discovered a
large cache of drugs; enough to drug the entire population of
Georgetown, Guyana (well over 200,000) for more than a year... The
actual description of life at Jonestown is that of a tightly run
concentration camp, complete with medical and psychiatric
experimentation... Jonestown was an experiment, part of a 30-year
program called MK-ULTRA, the CIA and military intelligence code name
for mind control... a combination of drugs, drug mixtures, electroshock
and torture as methods for control. The desired results ranged from
temporary and permanent amnesia, uninhibited confessions, and creation
of second personalities, to programmed assassins and preconditioned
suicidal urges. One goal was the ability to control mass populations,
especially for cheap labor. ...Pete Hamill called the corpses (at
Jonestown) “all the loose change of the sixties.” The effect was
electric. Any alternative to the current system was seen as futile, if
not deadly... The message was, get a job, go back to church... There
was no answer but death, no exit from the grisly future... The official
message was very clear... Dr Mootoo found fresh needle marks at the
back of the shoulder blades of 80-90 percent of the victims. Others had
been shot or strangled.. The gun that reportedly shot Jim Jones was
lying nearly 200 feet from the body, not a likely suicide weapon...
Only two (of the bodies) had committed suicide... The US Army
spokesman, Lt Col. Schuler said, “No autopsies are needed. The cause of
death is not an issue here.” ...At the scene, bodies were stripped of
identification, including the medical wrist tags visible in many early
photos... (It) took nearly a week to bring back the Jonestown dead,
bringing in the majority at the end of the period. The corpses, rotting
in the heat, made autopsies impossible. ...The long delay made it
impossible to reconstruct the event... Several civilian pathology
experts said they “shuddered at the ineptness” of the military.

Congressman Leo Ryan was shot down at the Port Kaituma airstrip, along
with several newsmen accompanying him, “even though the troops were
nearby with machine guns at the ready... The (newsmen) were clearly
killed by armed men who descended from a tractor-trailer at the scene,
after opening fire. Witnesses described them as ‘zombies,’ walking
mechanically, without emotion, and ‘looking through you, not at you,’
as they murdered. Only certain people were killed, and the selection
was clearly planned.”

Jim Jones was but a more civilized and respectable development of the
murderous and treacherous confidance man that has exploited our trust
and gullibility since time, or at least sundials, began. He was a
professional psychotic—a new breed of pseudo-spiritual tyrant with
grandiloquent ends and the very basest of means. The prototype of this
modern archetype/assassin was none other than Hitler himself, and the
religious- community-cum-correction-center-cum-concentration-camp was
not reserved only for suckers and fools—though undoubtedly these were
the first to go—because the agenda, as such, includes us all.

And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of
the methodology of the bookkeeping. All science is merely a means to an
end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains
only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
—Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

The most unsettling factor to all this, and the greatest
justification for genuine paranoia, is that, as Judge states, “the
Jonestown model survives, and similar camps, and their sinister
designs, show up in many places.” To the paranoid, then, Jonestown was
a freak exposure, but not a freak occurrence. The “suicide-murder” (a
classic newspeak term coined for the occasion) both led to and resulted
from this exposure, and it becomes highly doubtful that the scandal was
either inadvertent or unexpected, as so many have assumed, but rather a
deliberately contrived event, for precise, if obscure, purposes. This
is by far the most challenging area of the paranoid’s weltanshauung.
When a story of this nature hits the newstands—says the paranoid—it
comes ready-made for a specific effect, the lie not only in the bias of
the presentation, but in the actual manipulation of the events
themselves. The tactics of psychological terrorism are those by which
the government may best tyrannize a people and keep them in total
apprehension of—and dependence on—their supposed “protectors.” In order
for protection to be needed, the threat must first be invented, and the
lurking paranoia which the public senses must be realized. The most
obvious effects of the “official story” of Jonestown on the mass psyche
were the following:

Firstly, it fostered the belief that people in general are so slavish,
so irresponsible, so hopeless and desperate as to take their own lives,
not from personal despair, but merely at the whim of some adored madman
posing as a guru. Secondly, it confirmed a growing mistrust in
religious cults and alternate movements in general, the feeling being
that these people were not to be pitied but despised—that essentially
they got what they deserved. Religion itself was thereby debased
and “exposed” as an unrealistic and dangerous scam, strictly for
suckers and fools. Beyond all this, however, beyond the conscious
conclusions which the public reached, the fact remains that—at a
subconscious level (as with the JFK coup and the Manson murders)—the
public always knows what has really happened, even if they cannot
rationally apprehend this knowledge.

One blatant indication of this aspect of the drama is the sign over
Jones’ place: Those who do not remember the past are condemned to
repeat it. To the paranoid observor, this is typical of the kind of
knowing smirk that so often serves as a signature for the handiwork of
Masonic psychosexual mind games, because, for those who never even
figure out what happened, for whom the past itself is but an elaborate
fiction designed to confound them, what chance do they have but to
repeat it?

In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create,
secure and apply new weapons... a class of weapons so subtle and
sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as
to earn for themselves the name “silent weapons”... Everything that is
expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent weapon... It
shoots situations, instead of bullets... from a computer, instead of a
gun... It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical
or mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone’s
daily social life. Yet it makes an unmistakable “noise,” causes
unmistakeable physical and mental damage, and unmistakeably interferes
with daily social life, i.e., unmistakeable to a trained observor, one
who knows what to look for.”
—Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

To the discerning mind of the paranoid, the “message” of
Jonestown was multi-layered, intricate, and profound, consisting of two
main directives: one for the conscious mind, the other for the
unconscious. This one-two-punch strategy is the very essence of
paranoid awareness, in that it serves to illustrate and to accentuate
the rift or split between what we are told to believe, and what
actually is, between the way things seem, and the way they are. It is
the sworn duty and the sacred obsession of every paranoid everywhere to
reconcile these two perspectives, and so mend the rift in his own
psyche, and so correcting his own basically schizoid perception of
reality. This he does—or attempts to do—by bringing the occult depths
to the surface, and so disposing of the illusory facade of consensus
reality, if only for brief moments at a time. His endeavor is thus far
greater than simply the dissemination of “suppressed” information and
the spreading of paranoia as a means to subvert and expose public
ignorance and complancecy: he is—perhaps unwittingly but nonetheless
devotedly—doing the work of all artists and poets enslaved to their
Muse, that of introducing the conscious mind to its own underbelly, of
bringing the great unconscious to light. Once again, then, it is not
the question of paranoia’s validity that counts here, but rather the
question of its having come into being at all. True or false, the
existence of paranoid awareness is a postmodern form of folklore or
mythology that is of incalcuable interest to us, because, whatever else
it may be, it has emerged, and not from the conscious mind—its profound
irrationality testifies to that— but from the unconscious. Hence, like
all such emerging archetypes, it brings with it its very own message,
and its very own meaning.

So long as the two realms of conscious and unconscious remain separate,
unsynthesized, this disparity remains humanity’s greatest weak point,
its Achilles’ heel if you will. There can be no doubt that the
controlling powers—if control they do, and being themselves dedicated
adherants of the paranoid perspective and thus enslaved to its rules—
are acutely aware of this weakness, and do all they can to exploit it.
Hence the preonderance of the double-edged technique of mystification,
which has proved to be the most effective, destructive form of
psychological warfare at their disposal. Consciously, the public is
left unenlightened, unprepared, unsuspecting, none the wiser for all
the information, while at the same time jaded, more cynical, uncertain,
and despairing. Unconsciously, on the other hand, the public intuits
the very worst, the truth behind all the half-truths and lies, this
intuition serving to strengthen the fear and desperation, without
actually helping them to understand its meaning. This split or division
in the psyche is the essence of the moral conquest of the mass now
underway—the house divided must fall, and so is the defenseless psyche
like an unguarded fortress, surrounded on all sides by armies of
darkness. Being unsynthesized or comprehended by ordinary
consciousness, the public’s knowledge can be acted upon, nor even
thought about, yet neverthless it is there. The mass will find their
thoughts ever more pervaded by seemingly irrational fears and despair,
rendering them like the paralysed prey in the shadow of the predator.
What all this amounts to, in a word, is paranoia, without awareness.

From the point of view of the aware paranoid, it goes something like
this: When the head explodes the image serves as trigger, goes directly
to implant and activates signal, transmits subliminal
broadcast “explaining” catastrophic act as result of long series of
manipulations along a vast and tangled chain of conspiracies, that ties
up all levels and facets of social, cultural and political bodies, in a
sticky, deadly web of deception and destruction. Aim: psychological
undermining of foundation of reasonable belief system of mass populace,
whose tendency is to trust that all will work out alright if they sit
tight. The subconscious info-feed will establish an unformed but solid
base of certainty: IT WON’T.

Every lie and half-truth in this battle serves the same purpose: to
induce a slow schizophrenia, a disassociation on the part of the
individual which in turn leads to emotional imbalance, an increasingly
manic personality, a general apathy and despair (without apparent
cause), and a steadily encroaching sense of hopelessness and isolation.
All of which leads inexorably on to growing intolerance, impatience,
anger and disgust, with the world and with humanity itself: in short, a
blank, hollow race of sub-men, ready at the flick of a switch to become
wild beasts or cornered rodents. This notion is not a new one, and it
reached a kind of preliminary fruition with the Hitler Youth, Hitler’s
goal being the creation of an “Army of Darkness” indoctrinated from
birth (“breeders” were employed to “deliver” the new recruits) with all
the baser, most “evil” or destructive instincts, and untarnished by a
single shred of humanity. Obviously, if an individual’s existence is
ordered and directed within a controlled environment from the very
first moments of his life, then this individual will come out more or
less exactly as intended. Constant subjection to intense images of
violence, and to violence itself, repeated brutalities, sexual
degradation, exposure to insanity, hatred, lust, greed, anger and fear,
with narely a glimpse of any of the opposing extremes (joy, kindness,
love, etc), will ensure the child grow up in a world of evil, with no
notion of anything beyond it. So that, in thought and deed, to all
intents and purposes, “evil shall be his good.” If this child is
rewarded for acts of spite and punished for acts of kindness, then his
standards will be the absolute inverse of what we consider, in our
vanity, to be “decent” and “right.” Yet he will remain “innocent” in
his own mind, having never known or suspected any different. (The
bizarre and largely insubstatiated—even by the paranoid’s standards—but
nonethless rampant cases of Satanic child abuse at Military Day Care
Centres across the US may be only the tip of the iceberg, and to the
paranoid mind they certainly suggest evidence of a global program of
diabolic ramifications. Fortunately this topic is beyond the scope of
the present work.)

Each time a wanton murder occurs, on TV, in the world, real or
simulated or both at once, a similar drama unfolds in the human psyche.
A murder that is with precise yet wholly impersonal (because inhuman)
occult motives—as in every so-called “assassination”—serves several
purposes at the same time. The “undesirable” is disposed of, the public
is subconsciously warned and threatened, and—most importantly of all—
the status of human nature takes another step backwards, towards
irredeemable savagery. The latest “blank generation”—following hot on
the heels of generation “X”—is something of a hybrid still, yet it is
perhaps closer to this primal “heart of darkness” than humanity has yet
come before. It would seem, by the reckoning of paranoid awareness,
that a utopia of assassins is now all but upon us.

LSD AND THE JFK CONSPIRACY

What do Hassan i Sabbah, Amitaba Buddhists, Albert Hoffman, CIA and Lee
Harvey Oswald have in common?

At the end of World War II, U.S. military intelligence uncovered
evidence according to which the Nazis used hallucinogenic drugs to
conduct mind control experiments. After dosing inmates at Dachau with
mescaline and other psychedelics, the Nazis could force their subjects
to reveal even the most intimate secrets. The Americans secretly
imported many of the Nazi scientists and soon started to apply many of
the their findings.

By the National Security Act in 1947 President Harry Truman terminated
the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and replaced it with an entirely
new organization -- the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) -- intended
for "intelligence gathering only". By 1953 CIA's own massive and
notorious mind control experiments -- orchestrated by Richard Helmes
and a team of research scientists from the CIA's Technical Services
Technical Division were in full swing. Called MK-Ultra, it included
pioneering experiments in hypnosis, lobotomy, electroshock, sensory
deprivation, ESP, and drugs. Hypnosis and drugs produced the "best"
results, and the CIA finally settled on Lysergic Acid Diethylamide --
LSD-25. Discovered by Dr. Albert Hoffman in Switzerland in 1943. and
developed by corporate researchers at Sandoz Pharmaceutics, LSD quickly
became a recreational pursuit of affluent movers and shakers like
Aldous Huxley. In the early days of MK-Ultra, while pretending detached
devotion to a scientific cause, the CIA's own agents eagerly tripped on
the new drug. But by the time the MK-Ultra ended -- if it has ended --
there was a lot more to come.

The former CIA director and MK-Ultra master mind Richard Helms ordered
the shredding of MK-Ultra and LSD documents due to a "burgeoning paper
problem".

"We do not target American citizens,' he said.

In the 1970's, following hearings on CIA abuses -- based on the
fraction of documents that survived destruction -- the US Senate came
to an entirely different conclusion: thousands of US citizens had
served as guinea pigs, given LSD without their knowledge or consent by
the CIA's technical services staff. When the government finally
admitted to dosing some 1,000 unsuspecting people from 1955 to 1958,
paying millions to incapacitated victims and families of those who
committed suicide, one could only wonder what it was that they did
shred...

In addition to "clandestine" LSD operations, the CIA had set up
academic fronts -- such as the "Society for the Investigation of Human
Ecology" at Cornell -- which dispensed grants for drug
experiments. "Operation Midnight Climax" had prostitutes spiking the
drinks of unsuspecting johns just to see what might happen --
in "bordellos" which were actually CIA safe houses equipped with
cameras and one-way mirrors. At the Lexington Narcotics Hospital black
patients were given gradually increased doses of LSD for 75 consecutive
days. After being slipped LSD at a CIA "party", and plunged to his
death from a 10th floor window. It was covered up as suicide until
1975, when CIA finally "apologized".

Meanwhile, the military also got into the act, when the US Army
chemical corps used some 1,500 enlisted men as LSD guinea pigs. The
Army actually filmed tripped-out troops in drill field exercises worthy
of the Three Stooges.

But the military had much larger plans, as revealed by a November 16,
1953 document ordering 30 million doses of LSD from Sandoz. When Sandoz
refused to fill the order, the CIA got the Eli Lilli & Co. to crack
Sandoz's LSD formula, with Lilli assuring the Agency of "tonnage
quantities". One ton would be enough for 2.5 billion doses!

Even more ominous is the claim by a former contract agent that the CIA
helped underground chemists establish San Francisco LSD labs in the
60's.

But did the CIA actually create the Flower Children of the 60's? In
their book "Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the 60's Rebellion", Martin
Lee and Bruce Shlain posit just that.

Allen Ginsberg: "Am I the product of one of the CIA's experiments in
mind control? Have they by conscious plan or inadvertent Pandora's box
let loose the whole LSD fad on the US and the world?"

Dr. Timothy Leary: "The LSD movement was started by the CIA. I wouldn't
be here now without the foresight of the CIA scientists."

John Lennon: "We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for
LSD. They invented LSD to control people, but what they gave us was
freedom."

Given all the lies and the destruction of documents, we can only
imagine the CIA's reaction to the unprecedented youth movement of
the "psychedelic generation"...

Some believe that the whole thing is a result of an experiment which
backfired; however, in tripping out America's youth, the CIA could well
have known exactly what it was doing. What started as a storming of the
Vietnam's war barricades ended in the doldrums of drugged apathy. Did
the CIA want the Nation's youth, especially the radical ones, to "turn
out, tune in and drop out" -- right out of the anti-war political
process? If not, that effect -- like the assassinations of John F.
Kennedy (JFK), Martin Luther King (MLK), and Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) --
was certainly fortuitous for the right-wing establishment of the time.

Many of these questions can only be answered with more questions, so
let's just stick to the facts. Unlike other researchers, the government
scientists treated LSD as a weapon, and were -- therefore -- eager to
learn how to implement it as such. The OSS (forerunner of CIA)
researchers had already carried out experiments with cannabis
derivatives in search of a truth serum. The CIA's goals were much
higher. They wanted more then just ways of getting inside the minds of
government employees having access to sensitive information. They were
looking for a perfect brainwashing method capable of producing a
perfect assassin, so they stepped up the former OSS experiments to use
more potent psychedelics -- including LSD -- on many unsuspecting human
objects.

The creations of such puppets assassins was precisely the goal of CIA's
LSD experiments. Based on the experiences of the medieval cults of
assassins, such as the Hashishim of Persia, or the Amitaba Buddhist
cults of Japan, the CIA was also bent on discovering the ways of
creating "perfect assassins" capable of committing a murder without
questioning the task and without a trace of memory of the assignment
itself. Assassinating the foreign heads of states and replacing them
with pro-American puppets was an integral part of the post WWII cold
war, so -- naturally -- these experiments were conducted in the
atmosphere of utmost secrecy in the remote CIA outposts of Manila and
Atsugi, Japan.

Speaking of which, it is worth noting that 17-year-old marine Lee
Harvey Oswald was stationed at the Atsugi, Japan US Naval base in 1957.
Atsugi was one of only two overseas stations where the CIA tested LSD.
Many researchers have maintained that Oswald was in fact a CIA agent --
possibly even an MK-Ultra drug-and-hypnosis puppet. Whether set up as
shooter, patsy, or both, was he the agency's first successfully mind-
controlled "Manchurian candidate"? Was he the mold from which others --
like Sirhan Sirhan -- were later fashioned?

And indeed, there is much similarity between Oswald, Sirhan (RFK
assassin), Hinckley (failed Reagan assassin) and Chapman (Lennon
assassin). Despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to the opposite,
every single one of them was characterized as a "lone nut". After the
act, all of them seemed as if they were in some kind of post-hypnotic
trances, they were described as "very tranquil" and exhibited extreme
physical strength. After killing John Lennon, Chapman calmly
read "Catcher in the Rye" by D. Salinger while awaiting police. The
same book was found in the possession of failed Reagan assassin John
Hinckley, Jr. (And it may be worth mentioning that the book's author
served with the future Nixon's Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in
the counterintelligence corps.) Patty Hearst, of the Simbianese
Liberation Army, claimed she had been mind-controlled.

A Konformist Special: The Jonestown Jenocide

Robert Sterling

Part I

A LONG, LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY... John Travolta, 70's
icon thanks to "Welcome Back Kotter", "Saturday = Night Fever", and
"Grease", is enjoying a incredible comeback in = critical and
commercial smashes such as "Pulp Fiction" and "Face = Off". Speaking
of "Saturday Night Fever", the Bee Gees are in the = Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. The Black Crowes and Lenny Kravitz wear = bell-bottoms
and platform shoes. The biggest box-office attraction = this spring
was "Star Wars", and "The Eagles Greatest Hits, Volume = One" has now
sold 24-million copies in the U.S. And the biggest = concerts of last
year were by KISS and The Sex Pistols. It should be obvious by now
that America is in the middle of a huge = love affair with the
seventies, the wacky and wild decade that was a = by-product of the
sixties rebellion. But all is not well from that = era of long ago.
Take the combative anti-gay Anita Bryant politics, = for example. Or
how about double-digit inflation and high = unemployment rates? And
then there's that whole ABBA thing. One recent ugly element of the
seventies has returned in the news = recently: krazy kults led by
psychotic would-be dictators, a la Jim = Jones and The People's
Temple. Of course, there is the Aum Supreme = cult of Japan, the
"Branch Davidians" of Waco, Texas, and, with the = most disturbing
sense of deja vu, the 39 "suicides" of members of = Heaven's Gate.
Yes, we were told from the korporate media (with a = strong dab of
paranoia), the threat of such uncontrolled cults = preying on the
weakest members of society is certainly something to = beware,
especially now that cults have the nefarious internet as an = ally.
The undercurrent of such talk, of course, is that something = must be
done about these cults, or a whole bunch of mass suicides = are sure
to ensue.

What happened at Rancho Santa Fe (as well as in Waco and Tokyo) is =
still not completely clear, but the real story behind the events in =
Guyana are fairly evident during an honest inspection of the facts. =
And when one compares the level of deceit in the reportage of the =
deaths in Jonestown, there is little doubt that the "mainstream" =
korporate media is an unreliable source for truth in this area.

THE SUICIDE HOAX

Let's start with the biggest lie of the whole Jonestown affair: that =
this was a mass suicide. This has been repeated so many times that =
it is accepted as fact, and the association is so great that when =
most people hear "Jonestown", the first thing which pops in their =
head is "Kool-Aid".

The association is false. The source of the "Kool-Aid Suicide" stories
was the U.S. State = Department, who presented the story immediately
after the "suicides" = were reported as though it was the only obvious
truth. A U.S. Army = Spokesman pronounced with complete authority,
"No autopsies are = needed. The cause of death is not an issue here."
The bodies were = then allowed to rot in the jungle, making it
impossible for American = officials to perform any such unneeded
autopsy. Despite the lack of need, Dr. C. Leslie Mootoo, the top
Guyanese = pathologist, was at Jonestown hours after the deaths, and,
refusing = the assistance of U.S. pathologists, accompanied the teams
that = examined the bodies. His conclusions? Dr. Mootoo found fresh
= needle marks at the back of the left shoulder blades on 80 - 90% of
= the victims. Others had been shot or strangled. A surviving =
witness stated that those who resisted were forced by armed guards =
to comply. Dr. Mootoo's opinion, and that of the Guyanese grand =
jury investigating Jonestown, was that all but three (only two of =
which were "suicides") were murdered by "persons unknown." If one was
to go over the deaths in Auschwitz, it is almost a = certainty,
considering the horrendous conditions those who were = there were
under, that 0.2 % of all deaths could be attributed to = suicides.
Yet, if anyone was to argue that Auschwitz was a suicide = camp
housing a bunch of religious freaks and not the compounds of = murder
that they were, they would (rightfully) be condemned for =
intellectual dishonesty, and their motives would be questioned. No =
such actions are taken on those who continue to insist the same =
about Jonestown, despite how the facts speak to the contrary.

BODY COUNT BAD MATH

But that is merely the beginning of the deception. The original =
count of numbers of deaths was 408 (an odd number to use if the =
number was an estimate), with the added claim that 700 had fled into =
the jungle. The final total was changed to 913. To explain this =
rather minor difference in arithmetic, American authorities first =
explained that those backward ignorant Guyanese "could not count." =
Perhaps because the first "official" explanation of the bad math was =
so insulting, it was then proposed that they missed a pile of =
bodies, as if a pile of dead bodies is something easily overlooked. =
Finally, the "official" explanation that settled the whole question =
was presented: bodies were stacked on top of each other. Of the 150
photos taken of the massacre, not one shows any body = lying under any
others. Those who first worked on the bodies, to = release the gasses
of decay, had to puncture the dead, making it = unlikely that they
missed any of the dead. Even without these = facts, one must wonder
how 408 bodies - 82 belonging to children - = could cover 505 others.

With minor exceptions, pictures show the dead were found in neat =
rows, face down. The pictures also show drag marks leading to the =
bodies, indicating that victims were murdered elsewhere and placed =
there by someone else.

These facts have lead to another likely conclusion: 408 was indeed =
the correct original body count. The other 505 were hunted down and =
slaughtered, then dragged back.

But who would do such a thing? And why? And why were American =
officials giving such deceptive answers about Jonestown? To answer =
these questions, one must unravel the mystery of who Jim Jones was.

GANGSTER WITH A BIBLE

On May 13, 1931, James Warren Jones was born in Indiana, the state =
that would later give us whiny hard-rock megalomaniac Axl Rose and =
dim-witted heartbeat-away-from-President Dan Quayle. His father was =

in the Ku Klux Klan.

Jones became a Bible-thumping "faith healer", with a side business =
of selling monkeys. He used wet chicken livers as evidence of =
cancer which he removed by "divine powers." He adopted eight =
children, both black and white. Already the stench of criminal =
activity surrounded him, and his landlady referred to him as "A =
gangster who used the Bible instead of a gun." Fortunately for =
Jones, the local police chief at the time was Dan Mitrione, a friend =
from childhood. Mitrione kept him from being arrested or run out of =
town. Mitrione would later enter the International Police Academy, a
CIA = front for training counterinsurgency and torture techniques.
Despite having few sources for known funds, Jones found the money to =
travel with his wife and family to Brazil in 1961. Coincidentally, =
Mitrione was there as well, having advanced quickly in the IPA, and, =
while training security forces in torture and assassination, had =
beggars kidnapped so he could keep in practice. Mitrione was later =
kidnapped and murdered by guerrillas in Uruguay, which became the =
basis of the Costa Gavras film "State of Siege". Jones made regular =
trips to Belo Horizonte, site of CIA headquarters in Brazil - and =
where Mitrione was located. Apparently, this wasn't the only curious
intelligence link to Jones. He claimed he was part of U.S. Naval
Intelligence to some of his = neighbors. The U.S. Embassy provided
him with transportation, = groceries, and a large home. "Some people
here believed he was an = agent for the American CIA," one person was
quoted as saying. = Considering his dear friendship to Mitrione and
the funding of = "ministries" in Latin America by the CIA, the belief
makes quite a = bit of sense. In any case, according to his neighbor,
Jones "lived like a rich = man."

MADMAN OR MESSIAH IN UKIAH?

Soon after the JFK assassination, Jones returned to the states with =
$10,000. In 1965, he formed the first People's Temple in Ukiah, =
California, and set up Happy Havens Rest Home. Without trained =
personnel or proper licensing, Jones' camp drew in elderly, =
prisoners, people from mental institutions, and 150 foster children =
transferred often by court order. Among those who contacted him: =
"missionaries" from World Vision (an international evangelical order =
that often fronts for the CIA), the local chapter head to the John =
Birch Society, and leaders of the Republican party, whom his =
"church" members did voter organization and fund-raising for the =
Dick Nixon '68 campaign. His advisers included a mercenary from =
UNITA, the CIA-backed Angola army. Also jumping on board was the =
Layton family, whose patriarch, UC Berkeley chemist Dr. Laurence =
Laird Layton, had worked on the Manhattan Project and was chief of =
the Army's Chemical Warfare Division in the early 50's. (Mrs. =
Layton was the daughter of Hugo Phillips, a German =
banker/stockbroker who became rich representing Siemans & Halske and =
I.G. Farben, two notorious Nazi Holocaust profiteers.) Despite his
rather right-wing history, Jones suddenly declared = himself a liberal
and a socialist, and a reincarnation of Jesus = Christ and V.I. Lenin.
At this point, suspicions were developing of = his church, which was
backed by jack-booted armed thugs who dressed = in black uniforms.
Using blackmail, extortions, and any other way = possible to swindle
money from those in his clutches, Jones took all = he could from his
followers, much of it in the form of welfare and = social security
checks. The local press reported about "seven = mysterious deaths" of
those who attempted to leave the "church" due = to conflict with
Jones. Accusations of kidnapping, beatings, and = sexual abuse began
to be whispered.

To escape controversy, Jones moved to San Francisco, and became an =
important fund-raiser for the political establishment there. Soon, =
he was schmoozing with the liberal and radical elite, meeting with =
(among others) Rosalynn Carter and Angela Davis. Jones was rewarded
with being put in charge of the city Housing = Commission, and key
followers were awarded jobs in the Welfare = Department. The bulk of
their membership came from the unemployed = and dispossessed people
found here. The cult preyed on the poor and = helpless, going out of
the way to enlist women, children, and = minorities. They recruited
many of their members directly from S.F. = mental hospitals. The move
did little to change the controversy = surrounding his "church", and a
1977 expose was called an attack by = Jones. He then moved his Utopia
to Guyana, aided once again by the = U.S. Embassy.

KOUNTDOWN TO NOWHERE

After receiving complaints lodges by relatives of cult members, =
Congressman Leo Ryan visited Jonestown of November 18, 1978 to =
investigate human rights abuse. Congressman Ryan was a noted CIA =
critic, and had authored the Hughes-Ryan Amendment, which would have =
required CIA disclosure in advance to the congressional committees =
on all covert operations. Ryan had been given no answers or help =
from the State department despite the numerous inquiries. He =
arrived with U.S. Embassy official Richard Dwyer, as well as some =
journalists, including Tim Reiterman (who had covered the Patty =
Hearst story for the San Francisco Examiner.) It is likely Ryan =
already suspected what was going on. And then all hell broke loose.

At the airstrip, Leo Ryan soon became the first congressman to die =
in the line of duty, along with four other reporters. (The Hughes-
Ryan Amendment was killed in congress soon afterwards.) The =
assassins were described by witnesses as "glassy eyed", =
"mechanically-walking zombies", and "devoid of any emotion." Others =
were shot, including Dwyer and Reiterman. Soon after that, the mass =
slaughter began.

A plausible explanation for the events that unfolded is that Jim =
Jones (or someone else) ordered the murders when Ryan's unexpected =
visit threatened to expose what was happening. In the chaos that =
followed, a mass extermination was carried out. Just who were the
zombie assassins? Well, besides the 913 dead, = there were 167
survivors who returned from the camp. All news = reports concede
there were at least 1100 individuals at the camp = (and most place it
at 1200.) Who are these 20 or more people = unaccounted for? The
survivors report that there was a special all-white group that = were
armed, well-treated and free to exit the compound. These = guards
were never accounted for by any news reports. Perhaps it is = these
same guards (assuming the total population was 1200) a = congressional
aide was referring to in a AP quote which stated, = "There are 120
white, brainwashed assassins out from Jonestown = awaiting the trigger
word to pick up their hit." Of course, they may have had a little
help. Over 300 American Green = Berets - trained for CIA covert
assassinations - were in the area at = the time. So were nearly 600
British Black Watch commandos, who = were there on a "training
exercise." Suddenly the death toll seems = relatively low.

DAN WHITE'S LITTLE GAME OF SOLITAIRE AND OTHER CURIOUS DEATHS

But these weren't the last strange deaths involved with Jonestown. =
Nine days later, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor =
Harvey Milk were slain by Dan White, who was either a "disgruntled =
police agent" or "angry about gays." These explanations were =
supplied to explain his utterly irrational behavior during the =
killings, as, sure enough, he was described as being in a bizarre =

sweets. Implausible, but easier to report in the news than stating =
he was a brainwashed assassin. Moscone and Milk had extensive =
financial backing from Jones during his stay by the Bay, and soon =
they both were going to be investigated in connection to missing =
funds from the People's Temple. That is, until a lone gunman took =
care of them.

Michael Prokes, a Jones aide, held a press conference and stated the =
CIA and FBI were withholding an audiotape of the massacre. He also =
stated that he was an FBI informant. Right after that, he went to =
the restroom... and never left. His death was proclaimed a =
"suicide".

In Georgetown, several Temple members were killed after the =
massacre. The man charged with the murders, Charles Beikman, was an =
early follower of Jones and had become an "adopted son" of his. =
Beikman was a Green Beret. Jeanne and Al Mills, who were writing a
book on Jonestown, were = bound and shot to death at their home. In
Detroit another survivor = was killed near his home, and another was
involved in a mass murder = of school children in Los Angeles.
Ironically, the dead may not have included Jim Jones himself, as was =
claimed. The body alleged to be his didn't show his tattoos in the =
photographs. Fingerprints had to be checked twice, and his dental =
records were never looked at. He was known to use doubles.

THE CIA AT GUYANA AND THE TWO BILLION DOLLAR BLACK HOLE

As the massacre unfolded, Jones is tape recorded as yelling, "Get =
Dwyer out of here!" Jim Dwyer was later found at the airstrip, =
methodically washing his hands. In 1968, Dwyer was listed in the
publication entitled, "Who's Who in = the CIA". When asked if the
allegation was true, he replied, "No = comment." Of course, Dwyer
isn't the only link to CIA in Guyana. Besides = those previously
mentioned, John Burke, the U.S. ambassador, and = Richard McCoy,
another official, were both heavily involved with the = intelligence
community. The U.S. Embassy in Georgetown also housed = the
Georgetown CIA station. At the time, Guyana had a socialist =
government, and thus was a likely target for covert operations. Dan =
Webber, sent to Guyana after the massacre, was CIA as well. The
"official" attorney for the survivors, Joseph Blatchford, was =
involved in a scandal involving CIA infiltration of the Peace Corps.
Then there is the missing money that just "disappeared" after the =
mass death. Conservative estimates place the amount at $26 million.
Others place it at $2 billion. Judging the history of bank loot =
understatements, the second figure is likely closer to the truth. =
At the time, a major international money laundering operation was =
headquartered in Italy involving the Vatican and a mysterious =
fascist quasi-Masonic lodge known as the P-2. (The operation =
probably led to the murder of Pope John Paul I, but that's another =
conspiracy.) The P-2 had a major operation located in nearby = Panama,
and had numerous CIA links themselves. All this was = disturbingly
echoed in the S & L swindle of the eighties, which had = CIA and Mafia
prints all over the place. Add in the FBI files on the Black Panthers
and Weathermen found at = the site, an attempt to lure Mark Lane (JFK
assassination critic and = James Earl Ray lawyer, among other things)
and Donald Freed (Lane's = sometime JFK collaborator and recent
Simpson case investigator who = has linked the Brentwood murders to
Mafia in the L.A. underworld) to = Guyana (which succeeded in having
Lane witness the airstrip murders = after Jones hired him as a lawyer)
and a bizarre plot to kidnap = Grace Walden Stephens (witness to the
Martin Luther King = assassination) and smuggle her to Jonestown, and
you have the = makings of a full fledge spook operation.

DID JIM JONES READ "CATCHER IN THE RYE"?

Perhaps the strangest CIA connection of all to Jonestown was the =
previously mentioned World Vision. As stated, the evangelical order =
often fronts for the CIA. They performed espionage work for the CIA =
in Southeast Asia while Operation Phoenix (the murderous project =
that left 40,000 people dead) was in full effect. In Honduras, they =
were a presence at CIA Contra recruiting camps in the war against =
the Sandinistas. In Lebanon, their camps were where the fascist =
Phalange butchered Palestinians. In Cuba, their refugee camps =
hosted numerous members of the anti-Castro terrorist group Alpha 66 =
of Bay of Pigs fame. After the Guyana massacre, World Vision developed
a scheme to = repopulate Jonestown with CIA-linked mercenaries from
Laos. Laos, = of course, was where the CIA was running it's "secret
war" during = Vietnam, which for the most part was a smokescreen for a
widespread = opium trafficking operation. One particularly important
World Vision official was John Hinckley, = Sr., an oil man, reputed
CIA officer, and friend of George Bush. = You may have heard of his
son. Less than four months before Hinckley Jr. became known as Jodie =
Foster's biggest fan, another member of the World Vision order, Mark =
Chapman, gunned down John Lennon in what may have been a practice =
run for the bigger hit on President Reagan. A policeman who found =
him was convinced he was a mind-kontrolled assassin. Chapman was =
clutching the novel "Catcher in the Rye" - which was also owned by =
Hinckley Jr. (The book was written by J.D. Salinger, who worked in =
military intelligence with Henry Kissinger in W.W.II.) Before going =
to trial, Chapman plead guilty after a voice in his head (he =
attributed it to God) commanded him to do so. Considering the history
of World Vision and what went on previously = in Guyana, it is likely
that the real purpose behind repopulating = Jonestown was to create
another breeding ground for brainwashed = zombies like Chapman and
Hinckley. Even after the massacre, nearby = there was a place called
Hilltown, a compound of 8,000 blacks that = followed kult leader Rabbi
David Hill, who held his flock with an = iron fist. Hill had so much
power behind him that he was referred = to as the "vice prime
minister" of Guyana. There was also another = place in Guyana called
"Johnstown", as well as similar operations in = the Phillipines and
Chile. It appears that Jonestown (and World = Vision's later attempt)
is hardly the exception to the rule of using = obscure locations in
Third World nations as laboratories for kult = operations.

KRAZY KULT OR KONCENTRATION KAMP?

The site in Guyana was originally a Union Carbide mine, and was =
loaded with an abundance of precious natural resources. It is very =
likely that the site was chosen to exploit these resources with =
cheap labor - and cheap labor was plentiful. Members of Jim Jones' =
"church" were bound and gagged immediately after landing in Guyana =
and taken to the compound. They were pumped with drugs, and =
Jonestown had enough to drug 200,000 people for over a year. Among =
the drugs found: Quaaludes, Valium, morphine, Demerol, Thorazine (a =
dangerous tranquilizer), sodium pentathol (a truth serum), chloral =
hydrate (a hypnotic), and thallium (which confuses thinking), and, =
of course, cyanide. They had both cramped living quarter and meager =
rations of often spoiled food. They were then forced to work slave =
labor for 16-18 hours a day and required to stay up day and night =
listening to Jim Jones lecture. Among the charming punishments the =
flock endured were forced druggings, sensory isolation in an =
underground box, physical torture, public sexual rape and =
humiliation, not to mention your average ordinary beatings and =
verbal abuse.

If all this leaves a strange feeling of deja vu, the reason may be =
because all these drugs and treatments were used in the CIA's =
notorious MK-ULTRA program, which was implemented to test and =
implement brainwashing and mind control techniques, supposedly to =
protect us from some nefarious "communist threat". A 1974 =
government report admitted that certain "target populations" were =
used, namely blacks, women, prisoners, the elderly, children, and =
inmates of psychiatric wards. The Orwellian-named Center for the =
Study and Reduction of Violence, using the research of =
Strangelovian-doctors Jose Delgado and Louis "Jolly" West, was =
attempting to draw guinea pigs from the "target populations" to test =
drugs, implants, and psycho surgery techniques on at an isolated =
military missile base in California. The dead at Jonestown were 90% =
women, 80% blacks, and included 276 children. Which leads us back to
Auschwitz and the ultimate deja vu. = Auschwitz, after all, was not
just a death camp: it also was a slave = labor camp for chemical
monolith I.G. Farben. There, the outcasts = and refuse of society
that no one cared about were treated to = similar abuses while a
select few profited from the misery. The = brains behind the Final
Solution became much of the brains behind = MK-ULTRA. The MK is often
said to stand for "Mind Kontrol" - = representing the Germanic origins
of the project. Going the full = ten yards, however, it is possible
that MK merely stands for "Mein = Kampf".

SOME OPINIONS THE HISTORY BOOKS FORGET TO INCLUDE

Much of this was known by Congressman Ryan, who probably suspected =
that Jonestown was a front for something even more sinister. In =
1980, Ryan aide Joseph Holsinger received a paper, entitled "The =
Penal Colony", which explained that CIA MK-ULTRA operations did not =
terminate in 1973, as officially proclaimed, but were instead =
continued in public hospitals, prisons, and religious kults which =
were used as fronts. Holsinger later stated at a S.F. psychologist =
forum on Jonestown that he believed the CIA worked with Jones to =
perform medical and mind kontrol experiments at People's Temple. If =
Congressman Ryan had not been killed - a big if - much of this =
information would have undoubtedly been uncovered, and many =
skeletons in the CIA closet would have been uncovered with a domino =
effect.

Michael Meiers, author of "Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment?", =
had this to say: "The Jonestown experiment was conceived by Dr. =
Layton, staffed by Dr. Layton and financed by Dr. Layton. It was as =
much his project as it was Jim Jones's." Layton, remember, was head =
of the Army's Chemical Warfare Division. Former Temple member Joyce
Shaw said it best, when wondering out = loud if Jonestown was "some
kind of horrible government experiment, = or some sort of sick, racist
thing... a plan like that of the = Germans to exterminate blacks."

In October of 1981, Jonestown survivors filed a $63 million lawsuit =
against Jonestown era Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and CIA =
director Stansfield Turner. The suit stated that the State =
Department and CIA conspired to "enhance the economic and political =
powers of James Warren Jones," conducting "mind control and drug =
experimentation" there. The suit was dismissed four months later =
for "failure to prosecute timely," and all requests for appeal were =
denied. (Turner would become a director of Monsanto, now best known =
for providing the world with the benignly named poison and brain-
damaging substance "NutraSweet".)

All this, of course, is forgotten in "official" or "mainstream" =
accounts of the event. Instead, the "acceptable" version of =
describing Jonestown blames the victims, echoing the ignorant grunt =
uttered by Pete Hamill, who dismissed the dead as "all the loose =
change of the sixties."

CONCLUSION

Hanging over Jonestown was a mocking sign that proclaimed, "THOSE =
WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." One of = the
most elegant slogans of Holocaust survivors is "Never forget."
Jonestown makes it clear that, no matter how well meaning, all these =
slogans are but words. Never forget? We obviously already have. =
That Jonestown could unfold before our eyes without the realization =
of precisely what was going on says volumes. Certainly the blame =
falls partly at the feet of a powerful military-industrial complex =
that feels no shame for its deeds, and certainly partly at a =
Korporate Media that has become the witting mouthpiece (and =
collaborator) for this same cabal. But ultimately, the blame falls =
at the feet of the people, their brains dulled from all those Brady =
Bunch episodes and Bay City Rollers albums they consumed during the =
glorious seventies. By the time the Guyana massacre rolled around, =
the masses were too ignorant and apathetic to neither know nor care =
about the truth. Instead, they swallowed the official version and =
waited obediently for their next piece of mindless glop. What's worse,
if one was to try to inform people of the truth, = instead of outrage
at those behind the evil deeds, the attacks would = be leveled at the
informant for uttering such disturbing facts. See = Gary Webb (of
CIA-crack fame) and his treatment from his editors and = his fellow
"journalists" for proof. Or try bringing up this story = in polite
company and see the kind of response you get. Could the Holocaust
happen again? It already has, and will continue = to happen. One
wonders if it ever really ended.

ARRoGANT CoURiERS WiTH ESSaYS

Holden Caulfield's Perception
and Gradual Acceptance of the "Real" World.

In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden views the world as an evil and
corrupt place where there is no peace. This perception of the world
does not change significantly through the novel. However as the novel
progresses, Holden gradually comes to the realization that he is
powerless to change this.

During the short period of Holden's life covered in this
book, "Holden does succeed in making us perceive that the world is
crazy".1 Shortly after Holden leaves Pencey Prep he checks in to the
Edmont Hotel. This is where Holden's turmoil begins. Holden spends
the following evening in this hotel which was "full of perverts and
morons. (There were) screwballs all over the place."2 His situation
only deteriorates from this point on as the more he looks around this
world, the more depressing life seems.

Around every corner Holden sees evil. He looks out on a world
which appears completely immoral and unscrupulous. The three days we
learn of from the novel place a distressed Holden in the vicinity of
Manhattan. The city is decked with decorations and holiday splendor,
yet, much to Holden's despair "seldom yields any occasions of peace,
charity or even genuine merriment."3 Holden is surrounded by what he
views as drunks, perverts, morons and screwballs. These convictions
which Holden holds waver very momentarily during only one particular
scene in the book. The scene is that with Mr. Antolini. After Mr.
Antolini patted Holden on the head while he was sleeping, Holden jumped
up and ran out thinking that Mr. Antolini was a pervert as well. This
is the only time during the novel where Holden thinks twice about
considering someone as a pervert. After reviewing Mr. Antolini, Holden
finally concludes that maybe he wasn't making a "flitty" pass at him.
Maybe he just like patting guys heads as they sleep. This is really
the only time in the novel where Holden actually considers a positive
side. This event does not constitute a significant change. As Holden
himself says, "It's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only
comes out when it feels like coming out."4 The sun of course is a
reference to decency through the common association of light and
goodness. His perception of the world remains the same.

The one conviction that does change during the novel is Holden's
belief that he can change the world. On his date with Sally, Holden
reveals his feelings. "Did you ever get fed up?... I mean did you ever
get scared that everything was going to go lousy unless you did
something..."5 Holden goes through several plans. Holden at one point
contemplates heading out west where he will pretend to be a deaf-mute
and live a quiet life. At another point Holden proposes to Sally to
escape this world with him. It is finally to his younger sister Phoebe
that Holden reveals his ultimate plan. Although Holden describes the
situation in a very picturesque and symbolic manner he essentially
tells Phoebe that he wants to prevent children from growing up. He
blames the world's corruption on adults and believes that when he stops
the children from growing up he will preserve their innocence and save
the world.

It takes most of the book before Holden begins to realize that he
is helpless to stop this corruption. Finally, he realizes that not
only is there nothing that he can do, but there is nowhere he can go to
hide from it. Holden takes awhile to comprehend these concepts. One
good example is when Holden is delivering the note to his sister. He
encounters a "fuck-you" written on the wall. Holden careful rubs this
off with his hand so as to protect the innocent children from reading
it. Later on he finds "fuck-you" scratched into the surface with a
knife. He discovers that he can't efface this one. Even in the
timeless peace of the Egyptian tomb room at the museum there is an un-
erasable "fuck-you." This incident is the beginning of Holden's
realization that his dreams are infeasible.6

Ironically enough, it is one of the "innocent" children that he is
trying to protect who helps him come to terms with this realization.
It is Phoebe who challenges his plan to escape out west. As he is
telling Phoebe that she can not run away, he discovers that he too can
not run away. "You can't ever find a place that is nice and peaceful,
because there isn't any."7

The final break-down comes near the end of the book when he is
watching Phoebe on the carousel.

All the kids kept trying to grab for the gold ring, and so was old
Phoebe, and I was sort of afraid she'd fall off the goddam horse, but I
didn't say anything or do anything. The thing with kids is, if they
want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say
anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it's bad if you say
anything to them.8

In the above passage from the novel, Holden hits the final
breakdown. Being "the catcher" becomes obviously unrealistic. The
gold rings are ironically not gold but really brass-plated iron. The
gold rings are symbols of the corrupted world which always "wears" a
shiny surface to hide its evil. It is at this point that Holden sees
that he can not stop children from growing up and therefore losing
their innocence. They will fall if they fall, there is nothing that
can be done.

Shortly after this point Holden has his nervous breakdown. His
breakdown is due to this depressing realization that the world is
corrupt and filled with evil. He knows now with a sickening certainty
that he is powerless to stop both evil and maturation. As a matter of
fact, it is "bad" to do so.

Daddy's Little Princess:
JonBenét Ramsey & The Air In Colorado

"Evil on this scale is impossible to comprehend. To know who murdered
JonBenét Ramsey is to know what world we live in, where we are."
James R. Gaines, former managing editor, Time Magazine, January 20,
1997 issue

December 25, 1996 seems, in retrospect, a perfect day for a ritual
occult slaying. Among the scholars who believe that Jesus was a real
figure, the year of his birth is most commonly believed as being in 4
B.C., making the date the 2,000th Xmas celebration since his coming.
And indeed there were celebrations on 4 B.C.: the holiday is older than
the Christian myth. To quote Acharya S.:

Many of the world's crucified godmen have their traditional birthday on
December 25th. This is because the ancients recognized that (from an
earthcentric perspective) the sun makes an annual descent southward
until December 21st or 22nd, the winter solstice, when it stops moving
southerly for three days and then starts to move northward again.
During this time, the ancients declared that "God's sun" had "died" for
three days and was "born again" on December 25th. The ancients realized
quite abundantly that they needed the sun to return every day and that
they would be in big trouble if the sun continued to move southward and
did not stop and reverse its direction. Thus, these many different
cultures celebrated the "sun of God's" birthday on December 25th.

What we have in Yuletide, then, is a resurrection myth celebration, a
day of recognizing a moment of a new age. We still see this myth in an
updated form in the modern "Baby New Year" mythology, who comes on
January 1, which was day seven of the Feast of Fools - and now
curiously of Kwanzaa, the African-American holiday.

(Incidentally, among the religious cults which celebrated such a holy
day was the Mithra sun god cult that Roman Emperor Constantine was part
of. Along with holding December 25th sacred, Sunday - the day of the
sun - was their holy day of the week. Coincidentally, at around the
time of Constantine's reign, the Christian cult leaders made December
25th the celebration of Jesus' birthday and Sunday their Sabbath.
Although this was considered an act of blasphemy by other Judaic cults,
Constantine issued the Edict of Milan soon after, officially granting
tolerance of Christianity in the Roman Empire.)

And so, the morning after this metaphorically significant day, a phone
call was placed in Boulder, Colorado at 5:52 A.M. The receiver of the
call was a 911 dispatcher for the Boulder Police Department. The sender
of the call was an ex-beauty queen named Patsy Ramsey. The
message? "Send help. Send help."

Help was indeed sent. As Officer Richard French arrived less than seven
minutes later, Patsy was in hysterics. She showed Officer French a
three page handwritten note. As she wept, her husband John appeared
cool and collected, although he appeared to pace quite a bit.

The note began simply enough: "Mr. Ramsey," it stated. "Listen
carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign
faction. We respect your business but not the country that it serves.
At this time we have your daughter in our possession."

Written in block letters with a black felt-tip pen, the note had some
major oddities. The author knew of John's business activities and a
recent huge bonus he had received. The amount demanded for ransom was
$118,000, the identical amount to his bonus. The money, the note said,
was to be in $100,000 in $100 bills and the rest in $20 bills, placed
in "an adequate size attaché case" (the note had an accent mark on the
e for attaché, just as there is on the second e of JonBenét.) The note
had details of Mr. Ramsey's career in the Navy, describing a year he
spent in the Philippines at Subic Bay, called in the note the SBTC, as
though the writer referred to the place often by those initials. It
also had phrases such as "The delivery will be exhausting," "Any
deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of
your daughter," and "we are familiar with law enforcement
countermeasures and tactics," the kind of jargon popular in military
memos. Finally, the note referred to him as "John" 3 times in the last
paragraph, but only as Mr. Ramsey in the formal opening. Based on this
evidence, it was clear that the writer of the note was a sophisticated
person with a military background and intimate knowledge of John
Ramsey's life.

Seven hours later, JonBenét, their lovely six-year-old daughter and a
regular child-beauty pageant champion, was found, dead. Her body was
sprawled on the cement floor of a windowless little room in the
basement. Dressed in a white knit shirt and long underwear, there was
duct tape over her mouth and a garrote made from a white cord around
her throat. Another cord was around her right wrist. The body was
covered with a white blanket, and her red pageant nightgown was laid
beside her. She had a red-ink drawing of a heart on her left palm.

John Ramsey had found the body himself, after his wife had said, "I
want you to search this house. From top to bottom." He immediately
bolted to the basement, stopping at a small broken window on the north
side of the house, which caused Fleet White, Mr. Ramsey's best friend,
to notice the anomaly. Of course, only a midget or child could fit
through the window, not likely candidates as big time kidnappers. There
were a lot of rooms and corridors in the basement, but John went
directly to the one where JonBenét was found.

He immediately yanked the tape from her mouth and carried her upstairs,
laying her on the upstairs living room floor. As a Vanity Fair source
reports, "What was interesting was when Ramsey brought the body
upstairs he never cried. But when he laid her down, he started to moan,
while peering around to see who was looking at him." Patsy then
collapsed on top of JonBenét and began praying to Jesus. The net affect
of their actions was to hinder the investigation by messing up the
crime scene.

Despite the lack of the crime scene, one thing is immediately apparent:
the "kidnapping" story is thoroughly implausible. Kidnappers don't make
a habit of killing their ransoms, and if they do, they certainly don't
leave the booty behind. Even if JonBenét was murdered in an accident,
they would've dragged her corpse along and continued their extortion
ploy. Furthermore, there was no sign of a forced entry, no footprints
in the melting snow around the house, and, though the Ramsey's would
later insist they didn't set their alarm system at night, there was no
way for the "kidnappers" to know that.

Further facts began to be revealed: a "practice" ransom note was
discovered, on the same legal paper as the final note. A practice note
would not be carried to the premises, so that means both notes were
written there, meaning that the "kidnapping" tale was a last-minute
created fantasy, likely to cover up an "accidental" slaying.

As Vanity Fair reported, the autopsy revealed more, with phrases
like "chronic inflammation" and "epithelial erosion" among the
highlights of the redacted report. Dr. Richard Krugman, a child abuse
specialist, noted a vaginal abrasion which "is a sign of trauma, [but]
it's not a sign of sexual abuse necessarily." Dr. Robert Kirschner of
the University of Chicago's pathology department went even further,
pointing out that her vaginal opening was twice the normal size for six-
year-olds. He stated, "The genital injuries indicate penetration, but
probably not by a penis, and are evidence of molestation that night as
well as previous molestation."

There was also blood and urine stains on JonBenét's underpants, a
cleaned-up crime scene and body, and evidence that the child had
been "re-dressed" after the murders, with the cords around her neck and
wrist loose as though it was staged.

Right now, it may be a good time to stand back and state what is rather
apparent: either the Ramsey's were the killers or assistants in the
murder, or they have been the victims of some rather hi-tech silent
midgets with no footprints.

Dr. Cyril Wecht, the forensic pathologist better known for his
criticism of the JFK autopsy, has no doubt about molestation or who the
guilty party is. "This to me is evidence of sexual abuse," he said in a
newspaper interview. "I think any forensic gynecologist and forensic
pathologist would agree with that." He would also state, point
blank, "If she had been taken to a hospital emergency room, and doctors
had seen the genital evidence, her father would have been arrested."

Of course, whenever someone has pointed any finger of guilt in this
case, the "legitimate" arm of the korporate media has long condemned it
as a "rush to judgement", as though the Cliff Notes evidence just
detailed isn't compelling enough. Instead, the korporate press has long
bent over backwards in this case. Newsweek would report early on that
Ramseys' experts concluded neither John nor Patty wrote the notes, as
though the Ramsey experts were not biased. (In fact, an investigator of
the ransom note testing states, "Out of the 74 names submitted for
testing, Patsy's handwriting was the only one that set off alarm
bells," and handwriting analyst Sheila Lowe has found the note and Mr.
Ramsey's known writing "very similar".) Newsweek's cover story report
on the subject in January 1997 not once suggested that the Ramseys were
involved (though such beliefs were already circulating), and took the
whole case as a "mystery" and presenting the kidnapping tale as
plausible. If any blame was placed on the parents, it involved their
usage of JonBenét in beauty pageants, a predictably pious condemnation
while they tried to find some sort of "meaning" behind the Boulder
slaying, thus allowing them to discuss the subject while avoiding the
facts. If only there was such "fairness" in the reporting of Timothy
McVeigh or the alleged Unabomber.

Compare this also to the treatment of Louise Woodward, the British au
pair who was tried (and found guilty) on murder charges of nine-month
old Matthew Eappen. The official story is that Woodward must be the
guilty party, as she was with Matthew when he died, but the evidence
was indicative that the killing injury could have happened days before
the death. Presumably, if Woodward is the only one who could have
caused the injury, that would mean that Matthew's parents were
incredibly cold and remote to their own child. Despite these facts, the
state wasted little time declaring the 19 year-old girl a killer rather
than investigating the Eappens (who, incidentally, were fairly
wealthy), and the pundits predictably followed suit. Shrill right-wing
ideologue and Dick Riordan suckup Jill Stewart (writing for the
allegedly progressive L. A. New Times) declared Woodward a baby
murderer before the trial had been finished, and Ellen Goodman stated
as fact that Woodward "is still a killer who acted in anger as well as
frustration." With all this hysteria surrounding the Au Pair Trial, you
can't help but wonder if maybe it was an attempt to distract us from
the more blatant and disturbing facts swirling from Boulder.

Eventually, though, even much of the mainstream press has cracked in
the JonBenét tale, as the previously mentioned October 1997 Vanity Fair
article seems little doubt whom the author finds the guilty party. And
naturally, in their attempts to atone for their dishonest coverage, the
reports always predictably bring up the specter of O. J. Simpson. But
in fact, besides involving murder, sex, and wealthy men, the Simpson
and Ramsey cases widely differ. There has been no demonization of John
Ramsey as an icon of evil, no usage of his name as a code word to
incite anger in masses. There has been no Dominick Dunne to feign their
moral outrage about the incredible injustice to civilization involved
in the JonBenét death.

Within 24 hours of the Brentwood slayings, there was an onrush of media
declaration that Simpson was guilty. Even now, the Ramsey's are given
the benefit of the doubt in their search for "the real killers." In the
middle of October, the Associated Press began reporting as legitimate
the possibility of another "suspect" in the Boulder case, a 54 year-old
man who lived six blocks away. The reason for suspecting him? 32 years
before, he was convicted of misdemeanor indecent exposure (mooning
someone would qualify as that), a conviction that earned him the label
of "a child abuser" in the AP report. Meanwhile, serial killer Glen
Rogers was working within blocks of the Nicole Brown Simpson's condo at
the time of the slayings, and has been known to brag about his
involvement in the murders, providing such juicy details as the color
underwear she wore (according to Rogers, it was yellow.) The LAPD
hasn't investigated it, insisting that Rogers has an airtight alibi.

Perhaps there is a better case to link to the JonBenét case: the sad
story of Susan Smith and her two children. At first, Mrs. Smith
proclaimed she was a victim of a vicious carjacking who kidnapped her
two children, and described in gory detail a suspect that was little
more than a crude caricature of a 70's black jive-talkin' sitcom
character. The story sounded utterly outlandish, and yet, soon
afterward, there was a frenzy to find the suspect, with the usual civil
rights violations of minorities. Eventually, Susan broke, and confessed
to murdering her children herself, and it soon was revealed that she
was a victim of molestation by her father, a born-again
fundamentalist "Christian". Susan Smith was given life in prison,
although if her non-existent monstrous black carjacker had ever been
captured, he certainly would've been given the death sentence and
demonized as a far worse icon of evil than Susan ever was for slaying
her own children. Susan's father, despite admitting to his crimes, was
mysteriously never charged for his own activities.

The JonBenét Ramsey (and Susan Smith) case reveals a pattern of
trivialization of child molestation evidence. This is not some modern
phenomenon concocted in the 20th century, but rather, a secret that has
a dark, ugly history. Freud came face to face with it, when he
abandoned his own seduction theory (his belief that most of the
psychological problems his upper-class female patients had were due to
molestation by their fathers) when it was viciously attacked, due
mainly to the nasty implications of it. But even today, it is at the
center of many stories that often grab headlines. Most of the focus in
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow's divorce case has been on his romance with
Soon-yi Previn, Mia's adopted step-daughter. The korporate media is
more often than not silent of the more disturbing charge, that he
molested Dylan, their adopted seven-year-old daughter. Whenever such
charges are briefly mentioned in korporate pieces, it is quickly added
that "the charges are unsubstantiated." What they fail to mention is
that Connecticut state authorities, based on the testimony of Dylan and
others, have stated that they do believe Woody did molest her, but
decided not prosecute anyway, under the excuse of "wanting to spare the
children further suffering." Woody's film career has continued without
pause. Then there is the case of the Menendez brothers, who, after
admitting to murdering their parents, painfully revealed that they were
ruthlessly abused and molested by them over the years, and the twin
emotions of fear and revenge drove their slayings. Rather than
investigating the Menendez claims, they too were viciously demonized
for trying to escape the murder charges and accused of making up their
abuse. (Leading the charge, unsurprisingly, was our good friend from
Vanity Fair Dominick Dunne.) And of course, there is the wild tale of
Wacko Jacko, which, even though the accusations against him are widely
believed to be true, are merely passed off with a laugh among other
smirking monologue jokes on Jay Leno. The King of Pop was last seen
fondling "his" baby on the cover of Life magazine, and the accompanying
story forgot to mention the serious charges against him.

(Curiously, the one case where child molestation has been magnified
rather than minimized in the mass media is the charges against David
Koresh, charges which somehow are to justify the mass murder that
followed in Waco.)

And so, perhaps JonBenét's death has been relegated to the tabloids for
any real investigation because it is so tawdry and so doomed to wallow
in sensationalism due to the dirty laundry it uncovers. Perhaps. But
perhaps the dirty laundry goes much deeper, and it is these darker
truths which are intentionally being submerged in the Ramsey case.

"There is a killer on the loose! I don't know who it is, I don't know
if it's a he or a she, but if I were a resident of Boulder, I would
tell my friends to keep... to keep your babies close to you. There's
someone out there."

Patsy Ramsey on CNN

In all the trees that have been slaughtered covering the JonBenét
story, precious little has been written about John Ramsey's business
dealings, besides that he's rather successful. If it is mentioned, it
usually is inserted as an afterthought, briefly brought up and then
almost immediately discarded as unimportant. If Mr. Ramsey is
considered to be a murder suspect, however, what he is and what he is
involved in should remain central to the investigation.

Who is John Ramsey? A former Navy officer, he moved to Atlanta in the
early seventies. John combined his knowledge of electronics engineering
and marketing to form a computer firm, Advanced Products Group. The
firm would merge with two other firms in 1988 to form Access Graphics,
and he and Patsy moved to the new headquarters in Colorado. The company
would later have a major change of fortune: it was bought up by
Lockheed Martin, and soon became a company with one billion dollars a
year in sales.

Lockheed Martin is the "new and improved" version of Lockheed after
buying up Martin Marietta, combining two of what were among the
nation's (and world's) biggest defense contractors. Lockheed in the
70's, as described by Jonathan Vankin in The Big Book of Scandal, was
a "a company that sold billions of dollars in weapons every year, while
covertly functioning as one of the world's largest organized crime
syndicates." As Tom Jones (chair of smaller rival Northrop Corp, not
the Las Vegas lounge singer) admitted, "Sure, we bribed people. We were
just following Lockheed's business model." Lockheed chairman Dan
Haughton replied, "We prefer to call them 'kickbacks'."

Among the fine agents (or, in Lockheed's code, "locust") for Lockheed
was their Middle Eastern representative, Syrian arms merchant and CIA
asset Adnan Khashoggi, chum of Ollie North, major player in the Iran-
Contra scandal, and cousin of Dodi Fayed, soon-to-be husband of Lady
Diana before their little "car accident". Officially, Khashoggi earned
$106 million in Lockheed "commissions" for his work, though knowing the
arms business, that may be an understatement.

Lockheed's locust for Japan was Yoshio Kodama, a right-wing nationalist
with strong ties to the Yakuza. Rather than being tried for war-crimes,
the CIA got him off - and back into the corridor's of power.

Allegedly, Khashoggi funneled $1 million of his funds into Trickie
Dick's re-election campaign. (As for Lockheed, officially, they were
the only major corporation not shaken down for cash by Nixon's CREEP
committee.) On September 1, 1972, Nixon met in private with Japan's
Prime Minister, Kakuei Tanaka. Three days later, Japan began buying $1
billion in anti-submarine planes, and soon after All-Nippon Airways
ordered $400 million in Lockheed Tristar Passenger Jets. Kodama began
receiving crates of yen.

In the mid-70's, a congressional committee led by Frank Church began
investigating Lockheed's shady practices. When the committee subpoenaed
Lockheed Treasurer Robert Waters, he "committed suicide". Kodama,
meanwhile, suffered a stroke, and while bedridden, ultra-nationalist
Mitsuyasu Maeno commandeered a plane and crashed kamikaze style in his
home. Maeno's motivation was alleged outrage that his hero had shamed
the nation. (No word if Maeno was clutching Catcher in the Rye.)

Despite even admittance of criminal activity, Lockheed walked. And
walked profitably, winning the Stealth Fighter contract, the most
expensive plane at the time, in the 80's. And yet, despite evading any
punishment for their blatant crimes, we are supposed to chalk this up
as history, that Lockheed, shamed by their illegal activities, stopped
them all by their lonesome selves.

Uh huh. Sure.

Bribery has a not-too-distant cousin, blackmail. And where you see one,
you almost always see the other. As Number Two would say to the
Prisoner, "By hook or by crook." Carrots work great, but sometimes
sticks work even better.

The "carrot and stick" strategy was used in Operation Gladio, a
successful attempt by the CIA to control politics in Italy, an
operation that soon covered all European nations. Supposedly fearing
governmental takeovers by communists or socialists, the CIA began
backing and controlling candidates that it deemed preferable, fascists
who often were Nazi collaborators and drug-dealers. The CIA pumped
funds in campaigns for their personal picks, and financed propaganda
units posing as objective news reporters. (Among the "journalists"
involved in this scheme include Walter Pincus, writer of the Washington
Post's Gary Webb hit piece, and future Ms. Magazine editor Gloria
Steinem.) Using the bait of sex and drugs, they would lure politicians
in compromising positions as well, having them in their pocket for life
or be destroyed by scandal.

Just how low did Gladio blackmail go? A recent sex scandal in Belgium
gives a clue. In the summer of '96, Belgian police arrested Marc
Dutroux, who was accused of kidnapping young girls, sexually abusing
them, and killing them. Two teenage girls were found chained and
starving in his basement, and there were dead bodies on his property.
All quite Silence of the Lambs stuff, but it soon was revealed that the
police had long suspected Dutroux was a pedophile killer. They had let
him be. Dutroux, meanwhile, a working stiff on welfare, became wealthy.

Though Belgian officials have done their best to hinder the
investigation, the reason Dutroux got away with it for so long was that
he and his friends were using the girls for sex parties involving the
elite in business, military, and politics. A judge who attempted to get
to the bottom of the matter was soon dismissed by his superiors in the
Ministry of Justice.

To think that Dutroux masterminded this blackmail operation all by his
lone nut self would be utterly absurd. To suggest that it was a modern
manifestation of Gladio at work would be quite logical. In any case,
even Time Magazine, in one of the rare mentions they've had on this
apparently unimportant scandal, described shadowy links from this
operation to mobsters, and mentioned the usage of "underground tunnels."

Ah, yes, underground tunnels. The same kind of tunnels described by the
kids at McMartin preschool, who also claimed they were the victims of
Satanic ritual abuse, claims which were utterly mocked in the mass
media. In fact, they still are mocked in the mass media - despite the
evidence to the contrary, including wide-spread sexually transmitted
diseases among the kids. People Magazine is not particularly noted for
its investigative journalism, yet had a reporter "investigate" the
McMartin pre-school story. After interviewing Dr. E. Gary Stickel, the
UCLA archaeologist commissioned to excavate the McMartin site, the
reporter wrote back to headquarters that no tunnels had been uncovered.
When Dr. Stickel heard this, he was surprised, as he told the reporter
the exact opposite, which his 185 page Report of the Archaeological
Excavation of the McMartin Preschool Site duly notes. "I told her the
children said there were tunnels and we found tunnels. It was as simple
as that." After alerting People of the apparent failure to communicate,
People began researching his evidence - and then the story was bumped.
People, incidentally, is owned by the Time Warner, the people that
bring us both Time and Life magazine.

Why the cover-up in McMartin? As reported by Alex Constantine and Ted
Gunderson, among others, McMartin was a front for CIA brainwashing of
children. (The elder McMartin, who was involved in the building of the
preschool in 1966 - when the tunnels were built as well - worked for
noted CIA front Hughes Aircraft.) It is hardly a solitary case: the
usage of children in brainwashing experiments (often using Satanism and
pedophilia) is a well documented phenomenon.

Among the other noted cases besides McMartin:

* Franklin, Nebraska. A well-connected black right-wing businessman
named Larry King - not the talk show host - sang the national anthem at
the GOP convention in 1984 and 1988. He also headed the crooked
Franklin Credit Union, which was closed after it was uncovered King had
swindled $39 million. Investigation soon found the predictable links to
CIA-Mafia cocaine money laundering... and then began uncovering that
King was the head of a Satanic pedophilia ring, which led to high
powered politicians in our nation's capital. Soon after, the
investigation was sandbagged. A documentary uncovering the scandal,
Conspiracy of Silence, was set to appear on The Discovery Channel on
May 3, 1994, but was pulled from the air the last minute, despite
having been cleared by channel lawyers. They have shelved it ever since.

* The Presidio Army Base in San Francisco. A huge sexual abuse scandal
first broke out in the early eighties at the Orwellian named Presidio
Child Development Center. At the center of the day care center scandal
was Lieutenant Colonel Michael Aquino, head of the Satanic Cult Temple
of Set. He was also an army intelligence expert in psychological
warfare with a top secret clearance. Despite the children giving a
bulls-eye description of Aquino's bedroom, Aquino was never charged
with any crime, and the children's abuse was dismissed as another
hysteria.

* The Finders. Though not as well-known, the Finders is nonetheless an
astounding case. Six seriously abused children were found in
Tallahassee, Florida with two members of the cult. A raid of a Finders'
warehouse in Washington, D.C. found loads of graphic child pornography.
Investigators checked with the State Department on a passport that was
found, and were told to "terminate further investigation".

They soon discovered that the Finders was a CIA front that supposedly
had "gone bad", and that the leader of the cult, Marion David Petite,
had a wife who was a "former" CIA agent and a son who worked for Air
America. The case against the Finders was quickly dropped.

PART TWO

The Konformist

Volume 1
April 1998

Daddy's Little Princess:
JonBenét Ramsey & The Air In Colorado

Perhaps the most shocking claims are made by Cathy O'Brien, who writes
about her own alleged Satanic abuse as a CIA sex slave from early
childhood in her book Trance Formation In Amerika. Her husband,
a "former" CIA agent named Mark Phillips, rescued her and has since
supposedly helped her recover her memories. There are many who believe
he is little help to her. Many of her memories and claims have been
provably false, and yet there are many claims that have been repeated
elsewhere by others independently. Among her more interesting (and many
state more verified) report are that George Bush molested her and her
daughter while strung out on heroin (curiously, Mr. Bush was a regular
at many of Larry King's parties in Franklin), and that she was gang-
banged by the Bennett Brothers, William (finger-wagging Book of Virtues
writer and former commander of our phony drug war) and Robert (current
White House counsel to Bill Klinton in his tame by comparison
Peckergate scandals involving Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky.) Cathy
O'Brien claims she was drawn into this web of horror at early
childhood, recruited because of her fresh good looks and her family
connections in the occult underworld. The name of the program she was
involved in is claimed to be called Monarch.

In retrospect, the Monarch operation may go even deeper than anyone has
alleged. Scratch the surface of many juicy tabloid tales, and they seem
to flow from the same CIA-Mafia-Satanic well that no korporate
journalist dares to drink from. The richer victims in the Manson
slayings were reputed (by sources of Ultimate Evil author Maury Terry)
to have been involved in trafficking kiddie porn as well as LSD.
Michael Jackson has strong ties to the Mafia, which is said to be
behind his infatuation with Italians. The Menendez parents also have
been linked to Mafia, which may explain the not-so-irrational fear of
their sons. (Oddly, Mr. Moral Outrage Dominick Dunne, who has
apparently patterned himself after Truman Capote and comes from a
wealthy Eastern establishment family, never found time or interest to
cover the Jacko case or the McMartin Trial, and apparently is entirely
uninterested in the Ramsey affair. One of his daughters was murdered by
her boyfriend, who then received a stunningly light sentence, and one
of his sons was "kidnapped" during the Simpson trial which required him
to temporarily leave the trial, a story that never has been fully
explained.)

But of course, the korporate media has conveniently ignored the
possibilities in these cases, often going out of the way to denounce
the more blatantly disturbing ones. There is, for the example, the
Remembering Satan story, which Lawrence Wright wrote in 1993 for the
New Yorker. Despite a confession from a Washington state county
sherriff and Republican Party leader, Paul Ingram, of being involved in
Satanic ritual abuse of his daughter and others, Wright presented the
theory of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (a "foundation" loaded
with CIA agents) that the stories were imagined fantasies of guilt,
supposedly brought on by his being a deeply fundamentalist Christian.
Certainly it couldn't be that his "Christianity" was a cover for the
same things done by high-ranking Republicans in Franklin.
(Interestingly, Susan Smith's father also was a high-ranking GOP man
and a self-proclaimed "born-again Christian", perhaps explaining why he
was never charged for his admitted crimes - and which suggests there's
even more to that case.)

In the end, all these tales prove one thing: that the place to find the
truth is in Hollywood fantasy. After all, wasn't it Raymond Shaw's
mother in The Manchurian Candidate who, kissing his lips passionately,
reveals herself to be not just his kontrol agent but secret lover? In
the master Jack Nicholson vehicle Chinatown, wasn't the big plot twist
that the big and powerful running Los Angeles were involved in
molesting their own kids? (The director of the movie, Roman Polanski,
was incidentally also the director of Rosemary's Baby and the father of
Manson victim Sharon Tate's never-born child.) Wasn't the movie Angel
Heart about the lords of Louisiana being dedicated to multi-
generational Satanism? And, when it was finally uncovered who killed
Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks, didn't it turn out to be her father, who
appeared to be "possessed" by demons, thus indicating that in his
bizarre tale of strange happenings, David Lynch was really exposing the
bleak machinations behind black magick occultism hidden in Middle
Amerika?

All of which leads us full circle back to Colorado and Jon-Benét. The
Ramseys certainly fit the same bill. Which is perhaps why one
investigator of this stuff put it to me, "Cathy O'Brien is a Jon-Benét
Ramsey that lived."

To label John Ramsey and Access Graphics as a stick in CIA stick and
carrot affairs may seem a outrageous allegation. And perhaps it would
be irresponsible journalism. Almost as irresponsible as noting that Mr.
Ramsey, a well-connected military fellow, resided in Atlanta when a
string of over 30 child murders happened in the black community between
1979 and 1981. There are urban legends that the FBI and CIA were
actually behind them, that the young bodies were used for some bizarre
experiments. (It is interesting to note that the Center for Disease
Control has it's headquarters in Atlanta, and that these murders struck
in the early days of the AIDS epidemic which has targeted blacks and
homosexuals. Preceding the epidemic, homosexuals were recruited
into "experimental hepatitis-B vaccination programs" run by the CDC in
ads specifically targeting them.) Other tales say it was members of
white upper crust families getting their rocks off. The Feds would
later pin the blame on Wayne Williams, a black male, over dubious fiber
evidence that they proclaimed proved he was the lone madman killer.
Even by official claims, however, he was only behind up to 23 of the
slayings, leaving over a half-dozen officially unsolved, but beings
these were minority children, it was swept away with the "Case Closed"
pronouncement.

I suppose it would also be irresponsible to note that Patsy Ramsey was
born and raised in Parkersburg, West Virginia, a city better known for
the Federal Bureau of Public Debt Building, a project located there at
the heavy insistence of West Virginia's longtime Senator (and longtime
Appropriations Chairman) Robert Byrd. Byrd, it should be noted, is
fingered by Cathy O'Brien as one of her main oppressors. He has also
been alleged (by an article in a fundamentalist Christian magazine) to
be one of the main people behind the formation of Michael Aquino's
Temple of Set. Do two rumors equal a truth? No, but in any case,
Senator Byrd is a "former" member of the KKK.

Adding to the irresponsibility, it turns out Patsy Ramsey's father, Don
Paugh, was an engineer for Union Carbide, the fine folks who brought us
korporate murder in Bhopal and whose former mining camp in Guyana
provided the spot for Jim Jones little Utopian community. Early on, Don
was asked to help out John Ramsey's then struggling business, and
became vice president in charge of operations. According to Jeff
Merrick, a former John Ramsey associate, "The word is that John was
going broke and Don bailed him out financially." How he did that on his
middle-class income is questionable. The Paughs may have instead used
their impressive connections via the Miss America Pageant circuit,
which both Patsy and her younger sister Pam had been contestants in
after both being crowned Miss West Virginia. Due to her programmed,
controlled manner, famed-sportswriter and 1977 Miss America judge Frank
Deford wrote in his notes that Patsy was "a little automoton." JonBenét
was particularly noticed for her ability to freeze all motion and hold
a pose, an incredible feat considering she was only six years old.

Yes, all this is irresponsible perhaps, but very illuminating. And
perhaps as illuminating as an alleged claim in the Star that a large
amount of kiddie porn had been downloaded on Access Graphics computers.
The article also noted that AG did a lot of work in Amsterdam's red
light district. Of course, in the tale of JonBenét, the tabloids have
been the lone korporate media sources to proclaim shamelessly that the
Ramseys are indeed the culprits. However, this report in particular is
a blockbuster, as it hints at JonBenét being only part of a pattern.
While the Star seemed to point the finger solely at Mr. Ramsey, the
fact remains Access Graphics is part of Lockheed Martin, and thus any
child pornography on their computers indicates a major scandal.

As pointed out in Grossed-Out Surgeon Vomits Inside Patient! An
Insider's Look At Supermarket Tabloids, by Jim Hogshire, a study by
Deborah Gruenfeld revealed that headlines tend to influence people's
beliefs to a degree which makes the articles nearly worthless in value.
Further, tabloids only trail marginally behind mainstream journalism in
terms of believability (which, considering the equally disgusting level
of deceit in both, is quite understandable.) Thus, the best way to
influence public opinion is not through well-reasoned and well-written
articles, but by having headlines with sensational - and thus attention-
getting - claims shoved in the face of the most number of people. Like,
say, at the checkout counter of a supermarket.

The founder of the model for supermarket tabloid publishing was a man
named Generoso Pope. In 1951, as Mr. Pope would readily admit in his
own "Who's Who" Biography, he worked for the CIA in their psychological
warfare division. In 1952, he bought the Hearst-owned New York Enquirer
(he changed the name to The National Enquirer) and started his media
empire, supposedly independent of his lone one year stint (or so he
claims) in league with Langely. Pope financed the purchase via a loan
for twenty grand from mobster Frank Costello, who also happened to be
godfather of Pope's children. According to Pope, the loan was at "zero
interest." Thus, the beginnings of tabloid journalism have the
predictable intelligence/Mafia fingerprints all over the place.

In retrospect, it all makes sense. At the time, the CIA plot known as
Operation MOCKINGBIRD was in full effect, an attempt to put it's bloody
tentacles over the entire korporate media apparatus, an attempt that
has clearly succeeded. But as any expert of Machiavellian plots will
tell you, to truly kontrol something, you also must kontrol the
alternatives. It should then be no surprise that suddenly the
supermarket tabloid popped up, to give the masses a false option
of "choice". By being an option that is so easily discredited, it
somehow manages to reinforce the "legitimacy" and "integrity" of
mainstream korporate journalism. The tabloid also serves for middle
America as another kontrol mechanism, the pages filled with a
reactionary ideology that is disgustingly racist and sexist, which
explains why tabloids regularly have been propaganda mills for the
ruling klass. And finally, the tabloids are the perfect place to throw
a legitimate story that the elites desire to discredit.

Which leads us back to the front page report by the Star linking Access
Graphics to kiddie porn. So far, neither John Ramsey or Lockheed Martin
have sued. In fact, they have not even bothered to comment. Which is
odd, considering the disturbing claims that the Star made. So the
question is why have they not commented, and why did the Star publish
it in the first place. I'll let you make up your own minds of the
meaning of it, but if anyone has a better explanation than that it was
released by the Star to discredit the report, I'd like to hear it.

In any case, the usual suspects have all lined up in the predictable
ways.

How big is Haddon, Morgan & Foreman, the law firm representing the
Ramseys? As Denver Post columnist Chuck Green put it, "Take a look at
their offices here in Denver. Then take a walk over to the Governor's
Mansion a few blocks away and tell me which is bigger, and I'll tell
you which one is more powerful." Among the firm's clients are Gary
Hart, Governor Roy Romer, former Governor Richard Lamm, and, curiously,
Hunter S. Thompson. Alex Hunter, Boulder's district attorney, is a
political ally of the firm, which may explain why rather than
investigating the Ramseys, the D.A.'s office has often seemed more like
collaborating with them, sharing evidence with the legal team of the
unindicted and uncharged Ramseys. Thanks to arrangements made by their
lawyers, the Ramseys were provided with copies of their original
statements and police reports if they would agree to talk with the
police. The Hunter office has taken as plausible the "lone nut
intruder" theory first promoted by the Ramseys, who have pointed the
finger of suspicion at any person close to them that seemed to doubt
their silly tale. By April 1997, the Boulder police decided they could
no longer trust the D.A.'s office, and decided to stop sharing
information. Soon after, their computer system was hacked into.

There was fluid found on and near JonBenét's body. Rather than be
checked immediately for DNA, it was held, and then later sent to
Cellmark Laboratories, the wonderful lab whose supposed impeccable DNA
testing "proved" that O. J. Simpson was the real killer. There is no
disputing that biological material had been recovered from the JonBenét
crime scene, yet soon it was reported that no semen had been found at
the crime scene. You would think that by now, those fabulous sleuths at
Cellmark would've uncovered something, semen or not, but so far it has
been nil. Cellmark, of course, is located in Maryland, right near the
Pentagon and the heart of the Military Industrial Komplex.

Soon after hiring their law firm, the Ramseys hired Patrick Korten to
be their spokesman, a job Korten held for the Department of Justice
under Ed Meese. Korten's firm, Rowan & Blewitt, is a PR firm that
boasts of being specialist in "crisis management", a nice term
for "spin doctors," which Mr. Korten had a lot of practice during the
corrupt reign of Meese in the DOJ. During the Meese years, there was
the scandal behind the bilking of Inslaw over its Inslaw software,
which ultimately led to the death of journalist Danny Casolaro.
Curiously, Casolaro was in Martinsburg, Virginia for a planned
interview with members of the staff of good old Senator Byrd on the
night of August 9, 1991. Casolaro had mentioned to others that one
chapter of his planned expose on government corruption would be about
Byrd, and he believed the secrets that would crack the Inslaw case
resided with Byrd staff members. What happened in that meeting, or if
it indeed happened, is an open question, for the night of August 9 was
the last time he was seen alive. He was found dead in his hotel room
the next day, officially labeled a suicide though clearly not.
Incidentally, August 9-10, 1991 coincided with the 22nd anniversary of
the Tate-LaBianca slayings (22 being the year cycles in a the Crowley-
inspired Thelemic Calender to match the number of trumps in a Tarot
deck.)

And so, the creepy occult fingerprints appear once again. Perhaps it is
but a coincidence that the lone Ramsey press conference, which some
have compared to a Ramsey infomercial, was on May 1, coinciding with
the occult holiday of May Day or Beltain. Or maybe other events
swirling in the air of Colorado can provide some clues.

In nearby Denver, the DIA (Denver International Airport) opened in
February 1995, 16 months later than planned and way over budget. It was
a scandal all by itself, a mystery where all the money disappeared,
labeled as government "bungling" and "incompetence". But to some, there
is a far greater scandal hidden in the answer as to where the money
actually went.

The airport is loaded with secret society symbology. The capstone for
the DIA is a Masonic symbol, located at the part of the terminal called
The Great Hall, which is the Masonic name for their meeting hall. On
the Masonic Capstone is inscribed "NEW WORLD AIRPORT COMMISSION", a
group that, strangely, is not officially known to exist. There are many
murals at the airport with apocalyptic themes. Some believe these
murals represent a blueprint for the plans of the elites. One of the
murals depicts 3 caskets containing dead women, each representing
groups the elites may label expendable. One is an African or African-
American woman, the other is Jewish, and the third is a Native
American. In the same mural is shown the destruction of city and
forest, a little girl holding a Mayan Tablet that predicts destruction
of Civilization. Another mural depicts a green giant "Darth Vader" like
figure wearing a gas mask destroying a city. In this mural women can be
seen carrying dead babies. Another mural depicts a boy collecting
weapons from all the other children of the world. The boy has a huge
iron fist and is pounding all the weapons into plowshares on an anvil.
The boy appears to be German.

Perhaps you can dismiss this as mere artistic license, a public arts
program gone amuck, a Piss Christ or Karen Finley smearing herself in
chocolate. However, artists who made the DIA pieces first claimed in an
interview that guidelines WERE provided for their work. Their story
later changed on this issue.

Disturbing art is but the beginning of explaining the budgetary black
hole of DIA. A man named Phil Schneider claimed during the last year of
construction that the underground airport system was being connected to
a deep underground base. The base is at least 8 levels deep, with a 4.5
square mile underground city and an 88.5 square mile base underneath
the airport. Alex Christopher, Author of Pandora's Box and Pandora's
Box II - an expose of the British instigation through Washington D.C.
over the last 200 years - adds, "It is very unusual that they would
allot a 50 square-mile area on the surface at which to locate an
airport in the middle of nowhere unless they really planned to use it
for something very unusual later. There is a 10-mile, 4-line highway
out to this airport, and there is nothing out there in between the
airport and Denver. Not even a service station, at least in September
1995."

So why is an author of anti-British smears talking about the DIA? It
turns out that, according to Christopher, the Queen of England has been
buying up a lot of property in Colorado under a pseudonym. Along with
the Crown, the CIA has a naturally great interest in the area. Rodney
Stitch, author of Defrauding America, claims to have a copy of a tape
of a CIA agent paying off the mayor of Denver to get the airport built,
to the tune of $1.5 million. Nazis have an interest in the area as
well, as much of the DIA's symbology refers cryptically to the Black
Sun, some sort of Nazi secret occult worship. (Colorado had long been a
strong center for the neo-Nazi movement, most notably through the June
1984 assassination of radio talk-show host Alan Berg.)

If the Brits, Nazis, and the CIA plotting together over an airport with
a huge underground base is too weird for you, then the tales of Lizard
Aliens being involved may be too much to swallow. And yet, that is what
some informants of the DIA precisely state. Some allege that evil
Reptilians and Alien Greys are the true masters of the underground
bases (they are also reputedly the true masters of the Pentagon, but
that's another story) and are using human slave labor in these deep
underground bases, much of this slave labor being children. Supposedly,
when the children reach the point that they are unable to work any
more, they are slaughtered on the spot and consumed as snacks by the
alien lords. (Apparently, the aliens like human children for their veal-
like taste.)

Perhaps this explains why, according to some studies, over 200,000
children each year just "disappear". With the alien connection to all
this, it should be no surprise that the previously named Phil Schneider
also worked and reported on other government underground facilities,
such as Area 51 and in Dulce, New Mexico. Schneider has
since "committed suicide," supposedly hanging himself.

Are the tales of aliens true or fantasy? That is open to debate. There
are some who believe that reports of alien beings involved in black
budget operations is a deliberate leak, an attempted smokescreen to
discredit any legitimate research in the nefarious work of the Secret
Government. There are others who insist that they are the truth. In
either case, the only place where alien sightings are reported in the
korporate media is in the tabloids, which means it is either being
marginalized, being used as propaganda, or (perhaps) both.

Aliens or no, there are some claims that seem to have some validity. On
November 15, 1997, a man performing maintenance on a plane at DIA saw
there were over 120 children on the flight. When he questioned a woman
that was on the flight with the children, she replied, "Social
Services, now get out of here" as she flashed a badge. Checking the
flight plan records, he discovered the plane was headed for Paris, the
same destination as TWA 800.

What is the whole purpose of all this Rocky Mountain weirdness? As the
New World inscription at the DIA indicates, the rumor is that the
Colorado area is where the establishment of the Western sector of the
New World Order will be in the United States. Denver is of a high
altitude and ideal for underground buildings. Curiously, according to
these same sources, Atlanta is supposed to be the control center for
the Eastern Sector, home of the 1996 Olympics (which required a lot of
building and construction) and previous stomping grounds of John Ramsey
himself.

Is all this rumor just hysterical rambling? Or is there some (if not
complete) truth to it all? Is it just a coincidence, or an ominous
warning, that the trials of the Oklahoma City Bombing - which many view
as a Reichstag-like government-staged act of terrorism to promote a
more totalitarian government all to help "protect" us - were held in
Denver? Is there something more to the A-10 that flew to Colorado and
disappeared somewhere around the area of Vail and Eagle and Aspen,
Colorado? Is there more to the "fireballs" that first began being
reported January 11, 1998, a mysterious object that lit up the night
sky up and down, then startled witnesses with a deafening explosion?
(The official explanation is meteors caused by the ultimate konspiracy
komet Hale Bopp, but the explanation doesn't seem to explain why the
meteors all seem to focus on the Denver area.)

Maybe this is too much dot-connecting for some. After all, there should
be some sort of bizarre, astronomically unlikely event with huge hidden
occult/Masonic messages to signify that, yes, indeed, the New World
Order is here, and Denver is where it is being run at. A clue that
would repeatedly use important occult numbers such as 3 (for trinity),
7 (for perfection), and 13 (for bad luck.)

On January 25, 1998, the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl XXXII (which
precedes number XXXIII or 33, the highest degree of Freemasonry, and 32
itself is the freezing point on the Fahrenheit scale.) The Broncos
victory over 3-time winning Green Bay Packers ended a streak of 13
consecutive years where the AFC representative had lost. The Broncos
won by 7 points, scoring 31 (13 backwards.) Their quarterback, the
lucky number 7 John Elway, had previously endured 3 humiliating defeats
in the Super Bowl during his first 7 seasons, then managed to be shut
out from the big game for 7 straight seasons. In his 15th season (or
the 3rd set of 7's) he hit paydirt. The game's Most Valuable Player,
Terrell Davis, scored 3 touchdowns to pave the way to victory.

Of course, the numbers 3, 7, and 13 pop up quite regularly in football,
due to the structure of the scoring system (a system that has important
occult meaning, much like the Fahrenheit scale.) And indeed, that may
explain most of these coincidences. But let's face it: is there
anything, short of Susan Lucci winning a daytime Emmy, as unlikely as
the Denver Broncos actually winning a Super Bowl?

I may add that January 25, 1998 is exactly 13 months after the death of
JonBenét Ramsey.

All that is needed to start the new era is a ritual sacrifice. And one
must wonder if, whether the killer or killers were aware of it, that is
precisely what JonBenét's slaying really was: a butchering of innocence
to start a new covenant.

So, the question must be asked: is JonBenét Ramsey's death, far from
being a pointlessly tawdry tale, one of the most significant event in
the history of mankind? Is it part of some nefarious plot, the work of
occult-worshipping Freemasons, joining forces with the British
Monarchy, Nazis and the CIA, hell-bent on leading us to a destructive
New World Order? Is it even possible that the Ramsey's are actually
patsies, framed in many people's minds for a crime they didn't commit?
Can it be that the hi-tech silent midgets with no footprints I openly
mocked before are, in fact, evil Alien Greys, and that JonBenét's death
is an alien abduction gone haywire?

Unlikely? Yes. Absurd? Definitely. Outrageously silly? Certainly.

But at least it has an even remote sense of plausibility. Which is more
than can be said for the tales that the Ramseys and their mouthpieces
have spun.

[J.D. Salinger served ]in the Army Signal Corps and Counter-
Intelligence Corps from 1942 to 1946

Father's Failings Blamed on Vedanta

By ARTHUR J. PAIS

10/27/2000

J.D. Salinger with daughter Margaret With Catcher in the Rye hailed as
a literary sensation in America and Europe in 1951, its author J.D.
Salinger was on his way to becoming a literary celebrity. But his
increasingly reclusive nature surprised the publishing world and his
fans. Salinger would publish two more works before plunging into a life
of anonymity, frustrating fans, journalists and biographers. Some of
the speculations about Salinger, one of the most celebrated and
fiercely private writers of the 20th century, are now answered in Dream
Catcher, a stormy memoir by his daughter Margaret A. Salinger. Many of
the revelations are not pleasant. He spoke in tongues, drank his own
urine, studied homeopathy, and rarely had sex with her mother, she
reveals.

Margaret Salinger He was also deeply into the Vedanta throughout the
fifties, and it was his interpretation of Vedantic life that ruined her
mother’s happiness and her own, Margaret notes. Salinger, 81, who has
not published anything since 1965, is not saying anything about the
tell-all book. While several books and a recent documentary discussed
Salinger’s obsession with Zen Buddhism, this is the first time anyone
has revealed that Salinger was drawn to Hinduism soon after the
publication of his landmark novel. Margaret recounts how the
conflicting emotions Vedanta philosophy raised in Salinger were the
cause of many unhappy episodes in his life even after he began dating
Claire Douglas, an Irish Catholic girl. Salinger was in his early 30s
at the time; she was at least 15 years his junior. For several months,
Salinger influenced by Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and the book The
Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, thought of becoming celibate. Like his
fictional character, Teddy, Salinger believed meeting a woman would bar
his path to enlightenment. After reading Ramakrishna’s thoughts,
Salinger was convinced that women and gold spell trouble for any man.

The Salinger’s beloved yogi, Lahiri Mahsaya Margaret, 44, who studied
at Oxford and attended Harvard Divinity School, is a nondenominational
hospital chaplain. Her mother, Claire is the source of many of her
anecdotes. Despite his intentions to remain celibate, Salinger was
haunted by Claire. He was relieved to come across Pramahansa Yogananda
who told him women need not be obstacles to enlightenment and karmic
progress. Claire Salinger was attracted Yogananda’s thinking too and
got into kriya yoga. A greater hero for the couple was Lahiri Mahasaya,
Yogananda’s guru, who was a married man, proving that yogic attainments
could be open to family men and women. But when Margaret recently
studied Lahiri Mahasaya’s work, she wondered how her parents,
especially the mother, could not detect misogyny in his ideas.

Margaret Salinger with son “It was like reading the obituary of our
family before we even became one,” she says. Her own birth was not
welcomed by her father, she reveals. From time to time, he would try to
give up sex, and her mother often got him drunk on wine so that he
would make love to her. Her own conception was an accident, and
Salinger’s distress over the impending birth drove her mother into a
deep depression. Towards the end of the 1950s, as she became more
involved in kriya yoga and Hinduism, Salinger suddenly switched to
Scientology, making her even more miserable. Why is Margaret Salinger
revealing all this? In her words, she is “absolutely determined not to
repeat with my son what had been done with me.”

Project BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE

The earliest of the CIA's major programs involving the use of chemical
and biological agents, Project BLUEBIRD, was approved by the Director
in 1950. Its objectives were:

(a) discovering means of conditioning personnel to prevent unauthorized
extraction of information from them by known means, (b) investigating
the possibility of control of an individual by application of special
interrogation techniques, (c) memory enhancement, and (d) establishing
defensive means for preventing hostile control of Agency personnel. [4]
4] CIA memorandum to the Select Committee, "Behavioral Drugs and
Testing," 2/11/75.

As a result of interrogations conducted overseas during the project,
another goal was added -- the evaluation of offensive uses of
unconventional interrogation techniques, including hypnosis and drugs.

In August 1951, the project was renamed ARTICHOKE. Project ARTICHOKE
included in-house experiments on interrogation techniques,
conducted "under medical and security controls which would ensure
that no damage was done to individuals who volunteer for the
experiments. [5] Overseas interrogations utilizing a combination of
sodium pentothal and hypnosis after physical and psychiatric
examinations of the subjects were also part of ARTICHOKE.

The Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), which studied scientific
advances by hostile powers, initially led BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE efforts.
In 1952, overall responsibility for ARTICHOKE was transferred from OSI
to the Inspection and Security Office (I&SO), predecessor to the
present Office of Security. The CIA's Technical Services and Medical
Staffs were to be called upon as needed; OSI would retain liaison
function with other government agencies. [6] The change in leadership
from an intelligence unit to an operating unit apparently reflected a
change in emphasis; from the study of actions by hostile powers to the
use, both for offensive and defensive purposes, of special
interrogation techniques -- primarily hypnosis and truth serums.

4. cited "A 1952 (several years prior to initial U.S. interest in LSD-
25) report that the Soviets purchased a large quantity of LSD-25 from
the Sandoz Company in 1951, reputed to be sufficient for 50 million
doses." (Ibid., p. 16.)

"A primary justification for field experimentation in intelligence with
EA 1729 is the counter-intelligence or defense implication. We know
that the enemy philosophy condones any kind of coercion or violence for
intelligence purposes. There is proof that his intelligence service has
used drugs in the past. There is strong evidence of keen interest in EA
1729 by him. If for no other purpose than to know what to expect from
enemy intelligence use of the material and to, thus, be prepared to
counter it, field experimentation is justified. (Ibid, p. 34)

Between 1955 and 1958 research was initiated by the Army Chemical Corps
to evaluate the potential for LSD as a chemical warfare incapacitating
agent. In the course of this research, LSD was administered to more
than 1,000 American volunteers who then participated in a series of
tests designed to ascertain the effects of the drug on their ability to
function as soldiers. With the exception of one set of tests at Fort
Bragg, these and subsequent laboratory experiments to evaluate chemical
warfare potential were conducted at the Army Chemical Warfare
Laboratories, Edgewood, Maryland.

In 1958 a new series of laboratory tests were initiated at Edgewood.
These experiments were conducted as the initial phase of Material
Testing Program EA 1729 to evaluate the intelligence potential of LSD,
and included LSD tests on 95 volunteers. [101] As part of these tests,
three structured experiments were conducted:

1. LSD was administered surreptitiously at a simulated social
reception to volunteer subjects who were unaware of the purpose or
nature of the tests in which they were participating;

2. LSD was administered to volunteers who were subsequently
polygraphed; and

3. LSD was administered to volunteers who were then confined
to "isolation chambers".
http://www.parascope.com/ds/documentslibrary/MKULTRAappendixA.htm

With regard to the history of CIA's ethics policies, the MKULTRA
experiment program gestated from 1951 to 1952. This was the very period
in which DOD's CMS, with CIA participation, engaged in discussions that
led to the Secretary of Defense's 1953 enactment of an ethics policy
for human experiments based on the Nuremberg Code. The relationship
between these Nuremberg Code discussions (and policy) and CIA's MKULTRA
activities is a subject of the Committee's inquiry.

Through the course of MKULTRA, CIA sponsored numerous experiments on
unwitting humans. After the death of one such individual (Frank Olson,
an army scientist who was given LSD in 1953 and committed suicide a
week later), an internal CIA investigation warned about the dangers of
such experimentation. Ten years later, a 1963 IG report recommended
termination of unwitting testing; however, Deputy Director for Plans
Richard Helms (who later became Director of Central Intelligence)
continued to advocate covert testing on the ground that "positive
operational capability to use drugs is diminishing, owing to a lack of
realistic testing. With increasing knowledge of the state of the art,
we are less capable of staying up with the Soviet advances in this
field. "The Church Committee noted that "Helms attributed the cessation
of the unwitting testing to the high risk of embarrassment to the
Agency as well as the moral problem He noted that no better covert
situation had been devised than that which had been used and that 'we
have no answer to the moral issue '"[ 9 ]

Following revelations of MKULTRA and other unethical CIA practices
President Gerald Ford issued the first Executive Order on Intelligence
Activities in 1976 which, among other matters.
prohibited "experimentation with drugs on human subjects, except with
the informed consent, in writing and witnessed by a disinterested third
party, of each such human subject and in accordance with the guidelines
issued by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects
for Biomedical and Behavioral Research." Subsequent Executive Orders by
Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan expanded the directive to
apply to any human experimentation: "No agency within the Intelligence
Community shall sponsor, contract for, or conduct research on human
subjects except in accordance with guidelines issued by the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare. The subject's informed consent shall
be documented as required by those guidelines." [ 10 ] CIA has issued
guidelines implementing the Executive Order and has provided them to
the Committee.[ 11 ]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

Remaining Tasks
The primary focus of CIA's initial search was records on the use of
ionizing radiation on humans by the U.S. Government. The agency did not
initially search specifically for information on such topics as the
1949 "Green Run" release (an intentional release of radiation in
Hanford, Washington) or the activities of the JAEIC, CMS, or Joint
Panel on the Medical Aspects of Atomic Warfare. Nor did CIA initially
focus on activities of the Soviet Union and other countries that may
have prompted U.S. agencies to consider human radiation experiments
(e.g., when the Soviet Union sent approximately 40,000 troops to a test
area to conduct military exercises 30 minutes after an atomic bomb test
in Totsk, Kazakhstan, on September 14, 1954).

In response to specific Committee queries, CIA has provided documents
that describe activities of the OSI. CIA continues to search for
records in light of five Committee requests. These requests include:
(1) records on CMS, the Joint Panel on the Medical Aspects of Atomic
Warfare, and other DOD and/or interagency medical intelligence
organizations involving human experiments, (2) foreign medical
intelligence records on human radiation experiments, (3) records on
work done by other agencies, (4) records on ethics policies, and (5)
records on the Green Run and other intentional releases.

The Committee awaits completion of ongoing records searches that CIA
has been conducting on the above and other topics raised by the
Committee.

Notes
[ 1 ] In contrast to all other agencies, CIA maintains custody of
virtually all of its records; only a small number have been transferred
to the National Archives and none to any Federal Records Center.

NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INDEX OR INVENTORY DESCRIBES THE SIZE AND
ORGANIZATION OF THE RECORDS THAT CIA MAINTAINS.

[ 3 ] CIA did investigate the use and effect of microwaves on humans in
response to a Soviet practice of beaming microwaves on the U.S. Embassy
but determined that this was outside the scope of the Committee's
purview. CIA also sponsored radioisotope tracer experiments involving
irradiated LSD and other chemicals on laboratory animals as part of
MKULTRA. The Army conducted similar tracer studies on humans at
Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland during this period. Beginning in 1967,
CIA's Office of Research and Development and the Edgewood Arsenal
undertook a Joint program for research in influencing human behavior
with drugs, which included human experimentation (including on prison
inmates) and was performed by the same University of Pennsylvania
researchers who had performed the tracer studies. It is not known
whether the joint program included radioisotope trace studies on
humans.

[ 4 ] Helms testified in 1975 that he ordered the records destroyed
because "there had been relationships with outsiders in government
agencies and other organizations and that these would be sensitive in
this kind of a thing but that since the program was over and finished
and done with, we thought we would just get rid of the files as well,
so that anybody who assisted us in the past would not be subject to
follow-up questions, embarrassment, if you will." Church Committee,
Book 1. at 403-04.

[ 5 ] CIA officials have suggested this reference to radiation might
have meant "ultrasonic radiation" because they found another document
in which the possibility of using "ultrasonics and other radiant
energy" was proposed and rejected. This suggestion. however, seems
unlikely because the summary document also lists "sound" as a field
that was explored in addition to radiation.

BLUEBIRD is the cryptonym for a CIA mind control program that ran from
1951 to 1953. Other mind control programs include ARTICHOKE, MKULTRA,
and MKSEARCH. The purpose of the book BLUEBIRD is to prove that the
military and the CIA have been creating Manchurian Candidates for
operational use since the second world war. This fact is described
repeatedly by G.H. Estabrooks and in CIA documents on BLUEBIRD and
ARTICHOKE obtained through the Freedom of Information Act."

The 33-Year Question

"...The nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the
means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end."
--Aldous Huxley

Amidst anguish and outrage, a question has plagued the collective
subconscious of America for 33 years: Who killed President John F.
Kennedy?

As one who was alive when it happened, I can testify to the effects of
that act upon myself and to what I observed around me.

Tragedy is traumatic.

I was pulled out of junior high Spanish class and sent out on the
street selling newspapers containing the grim news. Only twice in my
lifetime were kids hawking papers on the street in our town: the day
JFK was assassinated, and the day Ruby shot Oswald.

Kennedy's murder represents far more than the unlikely act of a "lone
nut" or even a concealed political conspiracy. A four-tiered network of
power interests was responsible for the Killing of the King of Camelot,
with the all-seeing eye of the Illuminati at the top of the pyramid.
Hanging from the Illuminati puppet strings are the Masonic and
other 'secret' societies, followed by the national security state
apparatus/subculture. A rogue's gallery of various commercial,
ideological, political and bureaucratic partners fill out the
foundation of this conspiracy.

What is the Illuminati?

In 1785, a bolt of lightning struck a courier en route to Paris from
Frankfort-on-the-Main. "Original Shift in Days of Illuminations," a
tract written by Adam "Spartacus" Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati,
was recovered from the dead messenger. It contained the secret
society's long-range plan for "The New World Order through world
revolution."

The Bavarian Government promptly outlawed the society and in 1787
published the details of The Illuminati conspiracy in "The Original
Writings of the Order and Sect of the Illuminati."

The Illuminati was publicly founded May 1, 1776, at the University of
Ingolstadt by Weishaupt, a Professor of Canon Law. It was a
very "learned" society; Weishaupt drew the earliest members of his new
order from among his students.

In Adam Weishaupt's own words:

"By this plan, we shall direct all mankind in this manner. And, by the
simplest means, we shall set all in motion and in flames. The
occupations must be so allotted and contrived that we may, in secret,
influence all political transactions."

There is disagreement among scholars as to whether or not the
Illuminati survived its banishment. Nevertheless, under Weishaupt's
guidance, the group had been quite successful in attracting members and
through various manipulations had allied itself with the extensive
Masonic networks in Europe and the United States.

On December 5, 1776, students at William and Mary College founded a
secret society, Phi Beta Kappa. A second chapter was formed, at Yale,
in 1780. The anti-Masonic movement which erupted in the United States
during the 1820s denounced the secrecy of groups such as Phi Beta
Kappa. The society responded to this pressure by going public. Some
researchers note this as the direct cause of the appearance of Yale's
Order of Skull and Bones.

The alumni of Skull and Bones provide a direct link between secret
societies and the state department/national security apparatus.

From "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography":

"...Prescott Bush [Skull & Bones] was a U.S. senator from Connecticut,
a confidential friend and golf partner with National Security Director
Gordon Gray, and an important golf partner with Dwight Eisenhower as
well. Prescott's old lawyer from the Nazi days, John Foster Dulles, was
Secretary of State, and his brother Allen Dulles, formerly of the
Schroder bank, was head of the CIA.

...

"In the later years of the Eisenhower presidency, Gordon Gray rejoined
the government. As an intimate friend and golfing partner of Prescott
Bush, Gray complemented the Bush influence on Ike. The Bush-Gray family
partnership in the 'secret government' continues up through the George
Bush presidency.

"Gordon Gray had been appointed head of the new Psychological Strategy
Board in 1951 under Averell Harriman's rule as assistant to President
Truman for national security affairs. From 1958 to 1961 Gordon Gray
held the identical post under President Eisenhower. Gray acted as Ike's
intermediary, strategist and hand-holder, in the President's relations
with the CIA and the U.S. and allied military forces.

"Eisenhower did not oppose the CIA's covert action projects; he only
wanted to be protected from the consequences of their failure or
exposure. Gray's primary task, in the guise of 'oversight' on all U.S.
covert action, was to protect and hide the growing mass of CIA and
related secret government activities."

It was not only covert "projects" which were developed by the Gray-Bush-
Dulles combination; it was also new, hidden "structures" of the United
States government.

From "The Immaculate Deception" by Russell Bowen:

"According to Nixon's biography, his personal and political ties with
the Bush family go back to 1946, when Nixon claims he read an ad placed
in an L.A. newspaper by the Orange County Republican Party and a
wealthy group of businessmen led by Prescott Bush, the father of George
Bush.

"They wanted a young candidate to run for Congress. Nixon applied and
won the job, becoming a mouthpiece for the Bush group, progressing to
the U.S. Senate and in 1952 the vice presidency.

"In 1960, Vice President Nixon was scouring the world seeking the
presidency. At his side was Prescott Bush. Congressman Gerald Ford was
helping raise funds, as was George Bush.

"It took Nixon eight more years to reach his goal. And the canny
politician always remembered who helped him get there. So again it was
payback time for George Bush. Nixon appointed him Chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and later ambassador to China.

"By 1976, Ford, who succeeded Nixon after Watergate, paid his due bill.
He picked out big job for his old crony, Bush: the CIA. But this time
Bush would not be an underling. Now he would be head man."

[Chive Mynde]

The truth about Kennedy's death is submerged in conspiratorial chaos.

2: Muddy Waters

"A century before the Roman Republic perished, two brothers, the
Gracchi, emerged as popular leaders who were determined to check the
corruption by wealth of the city's institutions. They were both killed.
The murderers, who were never punished, came from the senatorial class
which had felt threatened by the brothers' reforms."
--Peter Dale Scott, "Deep Politics"

One of the most effective tactics employed by the conspirators was
to "muddy the waters" by bringing in as many "suspicious" individuals
as possible into the assassination arena, giving different reasons for
each person's presence. If they had a covert reason for being in Dallas
on November 22, 1963, all the better. Scores of people were engaged in
varied peripheral plots and sub-plots, many of which were related
tangentially or not at all to the actual assassination. As a result,
the pertinent facts drowned in a contrived whirlpool of suspicious, but
not necessarily related, activity.

But who was REALLY involved?

Rodney Stich's book "Defrauding America" tells of a "deep-cover CIA
officer" assigned to a counter-intelligence unit, code-named Pegasus.
This unit "had tape-recordings of plans to assassinate Kennedy" from a
tap on the phone of J. Edgar Hoover. The people on the tapes
were "[Nelson] Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, [Lyndon] Johnson of Texas,
George Bush and J. Edgar Hoover."

According to Stich's source, "There were conversations between
Rockefeller, [J. Edgar] Hoover, where Rockefeller asks, 'Are we going
to have any problems?' And he said, 'No, we aren't going to have any
problems. I checked with Dulles. If they do their job we'll do our
job.' There are a whole bunch of tapes, because Hoover didn't realize
that his phone had been tapped."

The inner core of the conspiracy is bound tightly together by oaths of
secrecy and affiliations with various secret societies, allied with
various Nazi groups, mind control operations and business ventures.
Much of the operational apparatus used in the conspiracy lay hidden in
the shadow world of ultra-secret national security state entities such
as Division Five of the FBI, the Defense Industrial Security Command
and double/triple agents of various allegiances. "The Torbitt Document"
and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" detail the workings of this actual
operational framework. Agents from "psy" bureaus, future narcs, ultra-
right-wingers, doubles and dead ringers, politicians, spies, cops all
fall into the mix.

Another key aspect of the JFK assassination is mind control. Some
researchers believe Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in the CIA's MKULTRA
project and was subjected to extensive radio-hypnotic intracerebral
control and electronic dissolution of memory while in Minsk, Russia.
But the question of mind control extends far past the mechanics of the
killing itself.

Was Kennedy's murder actually a ritual blood sacrifice?

3: Savage New Times

"I think the subject which will be of most importance politically
is Mass Psychology... Its importance has been enormously increased
by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Although this
science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to
the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know
how its convictions are generated."
--Bertrand Russel

The more one studies mind control, secret societies and the occult, the
more one understands the subtlety and hidden symbolism of the Kennedy
assassination.

James Shelby Downard's underground classic, "Sorcery, Sex,
Assassination and the Science of Symbolism," links American historical
events with a grand occult plan to "turn us into cybernetic mystery
zombies." The assassination of JFK was a performance of the occult
ritual called The Killing of the King, designed as a mass-trauma, mind-
control assault against the national body-politic of the United States.

Mr. Downward's co-researcher and author, Michael A. Hoffman II, wrote
in "Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare" that "fabled alchemy
had at least three goals to accomplish before the total decay of
matter, the total breakdown we are witnessing all around us today, was
fulfilled and these are:

"The Creation and Destruction of Primordial Matter.

"The Killing of the Divine King.

"The Bringing of Prima Materia to Prima Terra."

Hoffman writes:

Since ancient times these were the goals of the Gnostic-Rosicrucian-
Masonic-Hermetic Academy, an elite as real and corporeal as President
Bush's Skull and Bones society at Yale University; the Bohemian Grove
in California; Dr. John Whiteside Parson's Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)
also in California; General Albert Pike's Scottish and Palladian Rites
of Freemasonry and a host of lesser imitators. All of these cults have
or had the highest possible offices, connections and old boy networks.

The Creation and Destruction of Primordial Matter was accomplished at
the White Head ("Ancient of Days"), at White Sands, New Mexico, at the
Trinity Site. The Trinity Site itself is located at the beginning of an
ancient Western road known in old Mexico as the Jornada del Muerto (the
Journey of the Dead Man).

Early in this century a Freemason named Peter Kern was ordered to build
a highly symbolic "Gate of Death" at a key point on this ancient trail.
It was known as the Gate with a Thousand Doors.

At the front of this gate Kern was ceremonially murdered (decapitated)
by a hooded executioner. Gary Trudeau satirized the Aztec-masonic
Comazotz head-chopping cult of the American Southwest in a series of
December, 1988 "Doonesbury" cartoons which depicted Skull and Bones
initiates trying to dispose of a number of heads including that of
Pancho Villa, a key political operative of the cryptocracy who was in
fact also ritually decapitated.

Other occult rituals for the Creation and Destruction of Primordial
Matter were played out in the general area of the 33rd degree of north
parallel latitude in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The Trinity
Site is also at this latitude.

There are 33 segments in the human spinal column which according to
occult lore is the vehicle of the fiery ascent of the Kundalini serpent
force which resides in the human body. 33 is the highest degree of
Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Near the Trinity Site a derelict shack was
symbolically dubbed "MacDonald House." The Creation and Destruction of
Primordial Matter occurred exactly on the Trinity Site, the "Place of
Fire," with the explosion of the first atomic bomb, culminating untold
thousands of years of alchemical speculation and practice.

The Killing of the King rite was accomplished at another Trinity site
located approximately ten miles south of the 33rd degree of north
parallel latitude between the Trinity River and the Triple Underpass at
Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Dealy Plaza was the site of the first
masonic temple in Dallas. In this spot, which had been known during the
19th century cowboy era as "Bloody Elm Street," the world leader who
had become known as the "King of Camelot," President John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, was shot to death.

A widely publicized image which has become perhaps the key symbol of
the enigma of the Kennedy hoodwink, emerged immediately in the wake of
the assassination: a photograph three "tramps" in official custody, who
were unexplainably released and never identified, though speculation
about who they really were has reached fever pitch among investigators.

This photograph is a ritual accompaniment of the Black Mass that was
the ceremonial immolation of a king, the unmistakable calling card of
masonic murder, the appearance of Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, the
three "unworthy craftsmen" of Temple burlesque, "that will not be
blamed for nothing.' This ritual symbolism is necessary for the
accomplishment of what James Shelby Downard and I described in the
first edition of Apocalypse Culture, as the alchemical intention of the
killing of the 'King of Camelot':

"...the ultimate purpose of that assassination was no political or
economic but sorcerous: for the control of the dreaming mind and the
marshaling of its forces is the omnipotent force in this entire
scenario of lies, cruelty and degradation. Something died in the
American people on Nov. 22, 1963 -- call it idealism, innocence or the
quest for moral excellence. It is the transformation of human beings
which is the authentic reason and motive for the Kennedy murder..."

The seemingly random and senseless slaughter of a President the week
before Thanksgiving, by having his head blown apart in those now
infamous Zapruder film frames, is the signpost of humanity's entry into
what David Cronenberg in his Videodrome Rosicrucian cinematic manifesto
termed, "Savage New Times."

The search for the three assassins has become a trip up and down Tim
Finnegan's ladder, a ladder containing "one false step after another."
It is a masonic riddle several magnitudes above the pedestrian, CIA-
Mafia-Anti-Castro-Castro-KGB-Texas rightwing etc. etc.
political "solutions" pushed by the various books and movies which
sometimes only serve to confuse and demoralize us all the more.

The Alchemy of Ritual Murder

What ought to be unambiguous to any student of mass psychology, is the
almost immediate decline of the American people in the wake of this
shocking, televised slaughter. There are many indicators of the
transformation. Within a year Americans had largely switched from
softer-toned, naturally colored cotton clothing to garish-colored
artificial polyesters. Popular music became louder, faster and more
cacophonous. Drugs appeared for the first time outside the Bohemian
subculture ghettos, in the mainstream. Extremes of every kind came into
fashion. Revolutions in cognition and behavior were on the horizon,
from the Beatles to Charles Manson, from Free Love to LSD.

The killers were not caught, the Warren Commission was a whitewash.
There was a sense that the men who ordered the assassination were
grinning somewhere over cocktails and out of this, a nearly-psychedelic
wonder seized the American population, an awesome shiver before the
realization that whoever could kill a president of the United States in
broad daylight and get away with it, could get away with anything.

A hidden government behind the visible government of these United
States became painfully obvious in a kind of subliminal way and lent an
undercurrent of the hallucinogenic to our reality. Welcome to Oz thanks
to the men behind Os-wald and Ruby.

There was a transfer of power in the collective group mind the American
masses: from the public power of the elected front-man Chief Executive,
to an unelected invisible college capable of terminating him with
impunity.

For the first time in their history since the 1826 masonic
assassination of writer William Morgan, Americans were forced to
confront the vertiginous reality of a hidden power ruling their world.
Sir James Frazer writing in The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and
Religion, explains that when the "divine king" is murdered by one who
is himself stronger or craftier, those powers of "divinity" which were
the king's are "Sympathetically" and "Contagiously" transferred from
the vanquished to the victor.

The entry of this awareness into the subconscious Group "Dreaming" Mind
of the American masses instituted a new simulacrum. The shocking
introduction of a diametrically different, new "reality" is a classic
scenario of another phase of alchemical programming known to the
cryptocracy as "Clamores. "

Dave Marsh writing in Rolling Stone magazine (Feb. 24, 1977): "The
Beatles have always had an intimate connection to the JFK
assassination. He was shot the week before Thanksgiving 1963. By
February 1964, the Beatles were number one in the national charts and
the climactic appearance on Ed Sullivan's TV show occurred. Even Brian
Epstein (the manager of the Beatles) believed the Kennedy assassination
helped their rise -- the Beatles appeared to bind our wounds with their
messages of joy and handholding... And the way was paved, replacing
Camelot with Oz."

Now the American people were forced to confront a scary alternative
reality, the reality of a shadow government, over which they had
neither control or knowledge. The shepherding process was thus
accelerated with a vengeance. Avant-garde advertising, music, politics
and news would hereafter depict (especially in the electronic media) --
sometimes fleetingly, sometimes openly -- a "shadow side" of reality,
an underground amoral "funhouse" current associated with extreme sex,
extreme violence and extreme speed.

The static images of the suit-and-tie talking heads of establishment
religion, government, politics and business were subtly shown to be
subordinate to the Shadow State, which the American people were
gradually getting a bigger glimpse of out of the corner of their
collective eye. The interesting function of this phenomenon is that it
simultaneously produces both terror and adulation and undercuts any
offensive against it among its percipients, which does not possess the
same jump-cut speed and funhouse ambiance.

There is a sense of existing in a palace of marvels manipulated by
beautiful but Satanic princes possessed of so much knowledge, power and
experience as to be vastly superior to the rest of humanity. They have
been everywhere. They have done everything. They run the show which
mesmerizes us. We are determined to watch it. We are transfixed and
desperate to see their newest production, their latest thrilling
revelation, even when the thrills are solely based upon the further
confirmation of our dehumanization.

J.G. Ballard: "In this overlit realm ruled by images of the space race
and the Vietnam War, the Kennedy assassination and the suicide of
Marilyn Monroe, a unique alchemy of the imagination was taking place...
The demise of feeling and emotion, the death of affect, presided like a
morbid sun over the playground of that ominous decade."

The role assigned to us is that of zombies called upon by our shadow
masters to perform bit parts and act as stock characters in their
spectacular show. This mesmerizing process produces a demoralized,
cynical, double-mind.

The perpetrators deliberately murdered JFK in such a way as to affect
our national identity and cohesiveness -- to fracture America's soul.
Even the blatancy of their conspiracy was designed to show
their "superiority" and our "futility." "They" were doing to the nation
what they had been doing to individuals for years.

Looking into the subject of mind-control, one finds that the scope is
wide and methods used are sophisticated. Mind control traces its
origins to religious institutional use by priesthoods. Techniques of
mind control developed in our western culture were field-tested by the
Jesuits, certain Vatican groups, and various mystery religions, secret
societies and masonic organizations. Methods tested during the
Inquisition were refined by Dr. Josef Mengele during the reign of the
Third Reich.

After World War II, thousands of Nazi scientists, researchers and
administrators were "smuggled" into the United States against direct
written orders from President Harry S. Truman, through Operation
Sunrise, Operation Blowback, Operation Paperclip and other covert ops.

Soon afterwards, a mind control project called Marionette Programming
imported from Nazi Germany was revived under the new name, "Project
Monarch." The basic component of the Monarch program is the
sophisticated manipulation of the mind, using extreme trauma to induce
Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), now known as Disassociative
Disorder.

In public testimony submitted to the President's Committee on
Radiation, there are amazing allegations of severe torture and inhumane
pogroms foisted upon Americans and other citizens, especially as
children. These same children were used in radiation experiments. They
detail the drug and traumatic methodology of sophisticated mind
control. Candy Jones and Cathy O'Brien tell similar stories of brutal
mind control experimentation as part of the CIA's MKULTRA program. Many
mind control survivors speak of a "Dr. Greene." Some researchers have
identified Dr. Greene as the infamous Dr. Mengele.

But mind control programs and assassinations are merely part of a much
larger "enterprise" being carried out by an international network of
power interests. In 1995, a researcher-lawyer anonymously posted his
ten-year investigation of this conspiracy on the Internet. Calling the
JFK assassination part of a 50-year conspiracy, he detailed the
structure of this international network, which he named "the group."
The inner workings and "New World Order" agenda of this group fit
snugly with what other researchers have called the Illuminati.

[Chive Mynde]

Americans' trust of government has steadily declined since JFK's
death.

4: The New World Order

"After all, it was you and me."
--The Rolling Stones, "Sympathy for the Devil"

Soon after the American Revolution, John Robinson, a professor of
natural philosophy at Edinburgh University in Scotland and member of a
Freemason lodge, said that he was asked to join the Illuminati. After
studying the group, he concluded that the purposes of the Illuminati
were not compatible with his beliefs.

In 1798, he published a book called "Proofs Of A Conspiracy," which
states:

"An association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out
all the religious establishments and overturning all the existing
governments.... The leaders would rule the World with uncontrollable
power, while all the rest would be employed as tools of the ambition of
their unknown superiors."

"Proofs of A Conspiracy" was sent to George Washington. Responding to
the sender of the book with a letter, President Washington said he was
well aware of the Illuminati presence in America. He wrote that the
Illuminati had "diabolical tenets" and that their object was "a
separation of the People from their government."

The decades following the JFK assassination have been marked by
increasing cynicism and disillusionment among the American people
towards a government which acts as an elite, aloof institution at the
disposal of powerful forces both seen and unseen. Washington's prophecy
of "a separation of the People from their government" has come to
fulfillment. As the glaciers of a contrived Cold War melt down,
our "government" is steadily militarizing and expanding its police
powers, turning away from foreign targets of aggression to focus on
domestic "insurrection." Although the foundation of this conspiracy has
been under construction for centuries, the poisoned fruits of these
labors burst into bloom on that dark day in Dealey Plaza 33 years ago.

So did Oz-wald do it all by himself? Or are we all patsies on the
bloody path to the New World Order?

Preface to King-Kill/ 33: James Shelby Downard's Vision

This excerpt from the essay "King-Kill/33" has been out of print since
1987 and the publication of the first edition of Adam Parfrey's
conspiracy anthology, 'Apocalypse Culture.' Subsequent editions
of 'Apocalypse Culture' (including the current Feral House edition), do
not carry it.

The Campaign for Radical Truth in History (http://www.hoffman-info.com)
is pleased to make this excerpt available once again, on the occasion
of the 33rd anniversary of the immolation of America's only Catholic
president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. May his surviving murderers be yet
brought to justice.

Convicted Mafia hit-man Charles Harrelson, a suspected Kennedy
assassin, is incarcerated in a Federal prison for the contract killing
of a federal judge. (The suspect is the father of "Natural Born Killer"
movie star Woody Harrelson, who was directed by "JFK" filmmaker Oliver
Stone). Journalists have thus far shown little interest in attempting
to interview the senior Harrelson and persuade him to provide
information which might lead to the arrest and conviction of those
responsible for Kennedy's killing.

The late James Shelby Downard's primal way of looking at things, which
is the way I think ancient man perceived the world, encompasses a
vision that detects every link and every symbol, beginning with the
significance of names, then places and then the obsessive actions which
stem from the confluence of the two and which have come to be known as
ritual. Publisher Adam Parfrey, who first brought Shelby's work to a
mass audience, states:

"In Downard's writings, the products of his subconscious bubble to the
surface and catalyze painstaking research. The collision of the poetic
against the logical works especially well in the field of conspiracy;
it remains the freshest approach to a field of inquiry..."

I remember sitting in Shelby's airstream trailer in St. Petersburg,
Florida in 1977, along with the great Fortean philosopher William N.
Grimstad and Charles Saunders, a brilliant recluse who was a close
friend of Jack Kerouac toward the end of the Beat writer's life (a fact
missed by every one of Kerouac's numerous biographers; so much for
biographers).

Shelby's conversation that day ranged from the occult significance of
the Theremin musical instrument to the sorcerous implications of
elevators, the relationship he had with an evanescent rabbit named
Petey; the sinister connotations of the circus and the mystical
topography of the American Southwest, which Mr. Downard knew the way
you and I know our backyard.

As he fried our hamburgers, he regaled us in his prospector's drawl
with the hidden wonders of a tapestry of coincidences which he wove
from the seeming mundane details of everyday living, into a magic
carpet of incomparable strangeness and peerless utility.

Parfrey spoke for many of Shelby's friends and associates when he
stated: "Downard has influenced me to look with interest upon the
details and the fantastic convergences of life..."

For my money, James Shelby Downard is the one man most intimately tied
to the once and future November, on the Camelot calendar's 33rd turning
of the wheel, in this age of the Revelation of the Method; the era of
the deluge of hidden facts made public, which Downard predicted would
not liberate us, but only enslave us further.

More than two decades ago he foresaw the coming of this time as the
fulfillment of the final dictum of the alchemical rampage of the
elephant Must Be; the behemoth run amok in the fields of our
nightmares. As the "X-Files" and the other fictional TV shows which
neither I or Shelby have ever seen, purposefully muddy the waters with
a flood of pop drivel disguised as revelation, the actual truths are
lost in the swirl.

James Shelby Downard looked forward to the time beyond Must Be, to the
era which will witness the return of could be. After the coming
cataclysmic chastisement has run its cleansing course, we will once
again wish upon a star and dream a destiny free of the masonic chain
that at present binds our nation as tightly as the hangman's rope once
bound the rotted cadavers on Tyburn Tree.

Despite having been relentlessly targeted and attacked for more than a
half century, Mr. Downard, unlike poor Kennedy, did trip the Harodim on
the winding stairs and did slide down the railing, like a child
outwitting enormously big and powerful bad guys, by the fortune which
Providence reserves for the guileless. --Michael A. Hoffman II

KING-KILL/33°
Masonic Symbolism in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy
By James Shelby Downard with Michael A. Hoffman II

This excerpt Copyright©1998. All Rights Reserved.

manuscript, as well as other writings of Mr. Downard, visit our secure
online store.

The information I present in these pages on the Kennedy assassination
is well-known to certain news agencies who have chosen to suppress it,
just as the motivation for the assassination has been plunged into
cryonic secrecy. Masonic betrayal of the "common man" involves
archetypes of fertility and death symbolism seemingly motivated to
bring about syncretism in opposing principles in order to green Israel,
rebuild the Temple of Solomon and establish a One World government.

It is by way of Masonic sorcery that the union of opposing principles
is supposed to be brought about. The criminals who stage-managed Dallas
in the killing of Kennedy have controlled the American people's will in
exchange for a sleep without nightmares. I publish this in the wake of
the situation Charles Seymour alluded to: "The moralist unquestionably
secures wide support; but he also wearies his audience." Most Americans
are beyond being tired; the revelations have benumbed them.

Most Freemasons apparently have no idea of the evil that is part of
Masonry, and if they do know about it they don't believe it. The same
holds true for most members of the "Clandestine Lodges" and Masonic-
oriented fraternal organizations as well as Androgynous Masonic
Societies.

It is certain that onomatology, or the science of names, forms a very
interesting part of the investigations of the higher Masonry.... --
(Encyclopedia of Freemasonry)

When the ancients saw a scapegoat, they could at least recognize him
for what he was: a pharmakos, a human sacrifice. When modern man sees
one, he does not, or refuses to, recognize him for what he IS; instead
he looks for "scientific" explanations-to explain away the obvious.

--Thomas Szasz, (Ceremonial Chemistry)

The "science of names" word wizardry forms only one segment of the
science of symbolism used by Masons. The JFK assassination encounters
this science in a decisive way and contains a veritable nightmare of
symbol-complexes having to do with violence, perversion, conspiracy,
death and degradation. These elements are important not only as cause-
and-effect in the murder of a president but in the ensuing reaction of
the people of America and the world.

The fertility and death symbolism in the "Killing of the King" rite
which is part of Greening Ritualism that has to do with JFK, has been
suppressed because examination of it must necessarily link it
to "Freemasonry" and its mysticism, as well as to the political
influence it exerts. Obviously this would do some damage to public
confidence in:

a. Masonic progressivism. i.e. Iiberty, equality, fraternity.

b. Those who have shielded the conspirators.

c. The entire mental concept that passes for knowledge about the
genuine nature of the government of the United States.

Mystical Toponomy

Mystical toponomy incorporates word wizardry (onomatology) and the
Masonic science of symbolism. In considering my data it would be
helpful to consider a dictum of Einsteinian physics: "Time relations
among events are assumed to be first constituted by the specific
physical relations obtaining between them."

My study of place names imbued with sorcerous significance necessarily
includes lines of latitude and longitude and the divisions of degrees
in geography and cartography (minutes and seconds).

Let us take as an example the "Mason Road" in Texas that connects to
the "Mason No El Bar" and the Texas-New Mexico ("The Land of
Enchantment") border. This connecting line is on the 32nd degree. The
32nd degree is the penultimate Masonic degree awarded. When this 32nd
degree of latitude is traced west into the "Land of Enchantment" it
becomes situated midway between Deming and Columbus, New Mexico.

Slightly to the north of the town of Columbus are the Tres Hermanas
(three sisters) mountains. It is approximately 32 miles between Deming
and Columbus. The Three Sisters mountains are a minute and some seconds
south of the 32nd degree line. When this line is traced further west it
passes the ghost town of Shakespeare at a distance south of the town
which is roughly equivalent to the distance which the 32nd degree line
passes north of the Three Sisters mountains. The names "Shakespeare"
and "Three Sisters" find a connection in the tragedy Macbeth which
comprises such a large part of JFK assassination imagery.

When this 32nd degree line is traced a little distance farther west,
into Arizona, it crosses an old trail which meandered north of what is
now another ghost town but which at one time was called the town
of "Ruby." Part of the old winding trail became known as the "Ruby
Road." The town of Ruby acquired its name officially on April 11, 1912,
and was notorious for many brutal murders which had ritual aspects.
Four of these homicides occurred in a store attached to the post office
which had been erected over the grave of a Catholic priest.

Continuing on with mystical toponomy, one encounters the fact that Ruby
road twists north into the area known as the Kennedy and Johnson
mountains.

Johnson Mountain is supposedly named after the general manager of the
Peabody Mining Company who also had a town named after him which was
the location of the Keystone and Peabody copper mines. The 32nd degree
of latitude is but a few seconds from Johnson. In this frontier town on
a December evening, 1883, a Colonel Mike Smith and a man Mason were
ambushed by gunfighters described as being of questionable reputation
and questionable character. These terms are employed in Masonic
writings:

He [Captain William Morgan, victim of an early 19th century torture-
murder by Masons] was a man of questionable character and dissolute
habits, and his enmity to Masonry originated in his refusal of the
Masons of Leroy. (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry).

A "keystone" is the designation for which, when set in place, "keys" or
locks the whole. A symbolic keystone is vital to the legend of the
Masonic Royal Arch Degree of York. The earliest known record of such a
degree is in the annals of the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia, on
December 22, 1753. Fredericksburg is also the location of the "House of
the Rising Sun," a masonic meeting place for such notables as founding
fathers George Washington and Benjamin Franklin (of Hell-Fire Club
fame) and George Mason.

The Killing of the King

Never allow anyone the luxury of assuming that because the dead and
deadening scenery of the American city-of-dreadful-night is so utterly

devoid of mystery, so thoroughly flat-footed, sterile and infantile, so

burdened with the illusory gloss of "baseball-hot dogs-apple-pie-and-
Chevrolet" that it is somehow outside the psycho-sexual domain.

The eternal pagan psychodrama is escalated under these "modern"

conditions precisely because sorcery is not what 20th century man can

accept as real. Thus the "Killing of the King" rite of November, 1963
is alternately diagnosed as a conflict Needless to say, each of these
groups has a place in the symbolism having to do with the Kennedy
assassination.

But the ultimate purpose of that assassination was not political or

economic but sorcerous: for the control of the dreaming mind and the

marshalling of its forces is the omnipotent force in this entire

scenario of lies, cruelty and degradation. Something died in the

American people on November 22, 1963-call it idealism, innocence or the

quest for moral excellence. It is the transformation of human beings

which is the authentic reason and motive for the Kennedy murder and
until so-called conspiracy theorists can accept this very real element
they will be reduced to so many eccentrics amusing a tiny remnant of
dilettantes and hobbyists.

President Kennedy and his wife left the Temple Houston and were met at
midnight by tireless crowds present to cheer the virile "Sun God" and
his dazzlingly erotic wife, the "Queen of Love and Beauty," in Fort
Worth. On the morning of November 22, they flew to Gate 28 at Love
Field, Dallas, Texas. The number 28 is one of the correspondences of
Solomon in kabbalistic numerology; the Solomonic name assigned to 28
is "Beale."

On the 28th degree of latitude in the state of Texas is the site of
what was once the giant "Kennedy ranch." On the 28th degree is also
Cape Canaveral from which the moon flight was launched-made possible
not only by the President's various feats but by his death as well, for
the placing of the Freemasons on the moon could occur only after the
Killing of the King. The 28th degree of Templarism is the "King of the
Sun" degree. The President and First Lady arrived in Air Force One,
code-named "Angel."

The motorcade proceeded from Love Field to Dealey Plaza. Dealey Plaza
is the site of the Masonic temple in Dallas (now razed) and there is a
marker attesting to this fact in the plaza.

Important "protective" strategy for Dealey Plaza was planned by the New
Orleans CIA station whose headquarters were a Masonic temple building.
Dallas, Texas is located ten miles north of the 33rd degree of
latitude. The 33rd degree is the highest in Freemasonry and the
founding lodge of the Scottish Rite in America was created in
Charleston, South Carolina, exactly on the 33rd degree line.

Dealey Plaza is close to the Trinity River. At 12:22 p.m. the motorcade
proceeded down Main Street toward the Triple Underpass, traveling first
down ("Bloody") Elm St. The latter was the scene of numerous gun
fights, stabbings and other violence, and it is the location of the
Majestic Theatre, the pawn shop/negro district, and industrial
district.

It was also the home of the Blue Front Tavern, a Masonic hangout in the
grand tradition of "tavern-Masonry": Sam Adams and the Masons of the
American Revolution did much of their conspiring at the Green Dragon
Tavern in Boston. One of the many bars claiming the honor of being the
first Masonic lodge is the Bunch of Grapes Tavern, also in Boston.

The Blue Front was the site of the "broken-man" ritual in which various
members of the "Brotherhood of the Broom" swept the floor and tended
some fierce javelino pigs. The Blue Front was once a fire-house and was
still sporting its fire-pole in the late 1920s. This is extremely
germane symbolism. The national offices of the Texaco Oil Corporation
are located on Elm St., Dallas. Its chief products are "Haviland
(javalino) Oil" and "Fire Chief" gasoline.

On the corner of Bloody Elm and Houston is the "Sexton
Building." "Sexton" is heavily laden with graveyard connotations. It is
closely associated to the beetles of the genus Necrophorus or Sexton
Beetles, so-called because they bury the remains of tiny animals with
their eggs.

Bloody Elm, Main, and Commerce form a trident pattern in alignment with
the triple underpass as any Dallas map will show. Many analysts contend
that at least three assassins were involved in the crossfire ambush of
Kennedy.

It is a prime tenet of Masonry that its assassins come in threes.
Masonic assassins are known in the code of the lodge as the "unworthy
craftsmen." Because Masonry is obsessed with earth-as-gameboard
(tessellation) and the ancillary alignments necessary to facilitate
the "game," it is inordinately concerned with railroads and railroad
personnel to the extent that outside of lawyers and circus performers,
no other vocation has a higher percentage of Masons than railroad
workers.

Minutes after John Fitzgerald Kennedy was murdered three "hoboes"
("unworthy craftsmen") were arrested at the railyard behind Dealey
Plaza.

No records of their identities have ever been revealed nor
the "identity" of the arresting officer. All that remains of those few
minutes are a series of photographs which have reached legendary
proportions among persons concerned with uncovering the real forces and
persons behind the assassination.

Dealey Plaza breaks down symbolically in this manner: "Dea"
means "goddess" in Latin and "Ley" can pertain to the law or rule in
the Spanish, or lines of preternatural geographic significance in the
pre-Christian nature religions of the English.

For many years Dealey Plaza was underwater at different seasons, having
been flooded by the Trinity River until the introduction of a flood-
control system. To this trident-Neptune site came the "Queen of Love
and Beauty" and her spouse, the scapegoat in the Killing of the King
rite, the "Ceannaideach" (Gaelic word for Kennedy meaning "ugly head"
or "wounded head").

The systematic arrangement and pattern of symbolic things having to do
with the killing of Kennedy indicates that he was a scapegoat in a
sacrifice. The purpose of such macabre ritualism is further
recognizable in patterns of symbolism culminating in the final "making
manifest all that is hidden."

Oswald

Oswald means "divine strength." The diminutive form of the word is "os"
or "Oz": denoting strength. The role which "Divine Strength" played in
the Dealey "Goddess Rule" Killing of the King ritual should be given
careful consideration.

One should also note the significance of (Jack) Ruby's killing
(destroying) of "Ozwald" in reference to the "Ruby Slippers" of The
Wizard of Oz which one may deride as a fairy tale but which
nevertheless symbolizes the immense power of "ruby light," otherwise
known as the laser.

Oswald may have undergone biotelemetry implantation in the Soviet Union
while a "volunteer" at a Behavior Control Center at Minsk. Oswald
roomed with Cubans and was allegedly friendly with a Castro-man
identified only as being "burly" and a "key man." "Burly" can mean
burlecue, burlicue or burlesque. The "key," of course, is one of the
most important symbols in Masonry and the symbol of silence.

If Oswald was the result of some Soviet Frankenstein process why did he
have to travel several thousand miles for such treatment when it is a
routine operation in America?

While such activities of the Mill-of-Dread are pro forma at a variety
of institutions at the present, there was once a time when it was
deemed necessary to do such work at Walter Reed Hospital.

These implants were back alley operations in which the victims were
overpowered in some place or other, drugged and then dragged to this
government hospital. They were operated on, continued on a heavy drug
regimen and varied from somnolent to comatose for a number of days. The
electrical function of the victim was recorded and monitored and the
biotelemetry plant tested. Subsequently the victims were "brainwashed"
and returned to the place where they had been seized. The targets then
continued their existence, unaware of how their bodies had been invaded
and their autonomy stolen.

Occasionally, victims were returned to Walter Reed because of abscesses
at the incision or for the replacement of the obsolete device with an
updated one. Biotelemetry implants were made in various parts of the
body depending on the desired effect and function.

Like the disgraceful treatment of the autopsy of President Kennedy,
Oswald's is similarly weird. Oswald was literally butchered in
the "postmortem examination." Pieces were actually cut out of his body.
The major incision in his torso resembled a huge "Y" which ran from the
area of his groin to the solar plexus region. From there incisions were
made to the right and left armpits. The so-called "two horns of the
letter Y" supposedly symbolize the paths of virtue and vice: the right
branch leading to the former and the left to the latter. The letter is
sometimes referred to as the "Litera Pythagorae" (The Letter of
Pythagoras): "Litera Pythagorae, discrimine secta bicorni, Humanae
vitae speciem praeferre videtur" (The Letter of Pythagoras parted by
its two branched division appears to exhibit the image of human life).

In the 47th Problem of Euclid lies a secret of the 3rd Degree of
Masonry. Pythagoras is called by Freemasons "our ancient friend and
brother." One of Pythagoras' main doctrines was the system
of "Metempsychosis" which pertains to the passing of a human soul into
the body of an animal. Perhaps this was the intention of the autopsy-by
incising in Oswald's body the "Letter of Pythagoras" they sought to
expedite transmigration, and they may even have gone as far as feeding
sections of Oswald's corpse to the intended animal, for this too is a
practice of what used to be widely feared as necromancy.

Arlington Necrology

The Kennedy and Oswald burials were both at "Arlington": JFK at the
National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., and Oswald at Rosehill
Cemetery near Arlington, Texas. "Arlington" is a word of significance
in Masonic sorcery and mysticism and it has a hidden meaning which ties
in with necrolatry.

At the Kennedy gravesite there is a stone circle and in its middle a
fire that is called an "eternal flame." The fire in the middle of the
circle represents a point in the circle, the same type of symbolism
that is recognizable in Kennedy's bier and cof fin being in the center
of the rotunda in the Capitol. A point in a circle symbolized the sun
in ancient sun worship. It was also a symbol of fecundity, with the
point symbolizing a phallus and the circle a vagina.

At the Oswald gravesite stands a small tree. There exists an old belief
that a tree which grows at or on a grave is embodied with the spirit-
force of the person buried at that site, and that a twig or branch
taken from such a tree has magical powers.

I suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald's mother should gently remove a twig
from the tree at her son's grave and then at every opportunity touch
FBI agents, CIA operatives, policemen, etc., with that same twig. Such
a procedure couldn't help but be more efficacious in bringing the
murderers of JFK to justice than the Warren Commission was.

Funerary Rites

John F. (Honey Fitz) Fitzgerald, the grandfather of John F. Kennedy,
was elected mayor of Boston thanks in part to his "Wake House"
campaigns which were much imitated. These consisted of a daily
surveillance of the newspapers for announcements of deaths after which
a discreet "sympathizer" would be dispatched and a good deal of
political mileage accumulated in the bargain.

For a time the Fitzgeralds lived near the former site of the Green
Dragon Tavern, established around 1680 and demolished for the widening
of a street in 1820. The Fitzgerald home was on Hanover Street and the
Green Dragon Tavern was on Green Dragon Lane (now Union Street). The
tavern boasted the "first lodge room of Freemasonry in America," the
St. Andrew Lodge located within the tavern proper.

In the mysticism of the Chinese tongs, the Green Dragon is a death
symbol. A symbol of the dragon is worn on a ring or held in the hand of
a "hatchet man." The Green Dragon is supposed to impart the notion of
a "license to kill" for it signifies that the murder is an affair
of "honor": the Green Dragon is the guardian of the god-with-a-thousand-
eyes who protects the sanctity of the third heaven.

Much of Boston's Irish population arrived in American in what were
nicknamed the "coffin ships." Members of the Kennedy family were
acquainted with the "Coffin" family. The Reverend William Sloane Coffin
was the son of the theologian Henry Sloane Coffin; the younger Coffin
was a member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council that Sargent Shriver
headed. "Shriver" or "Shrive" has the meaning of one who grants
absolution to a penitent, and it was customary to call upon a shriver
before death. If the shriver was not available, a "sin eater" was
summoned. The old pious cry which was connected with the request for a
shriving was "Shrive me O Holy Land and Give Me Peace." To this the
shriver would respond "Pax Vobiscum":

...the spell lies in two words, Pax Vobiscum will answer all queries.
If you go or come, eat or drink, bless or ban, Pax Vobiscum carries you
through it all. It is as useful to a friar as a broomstick to a witch
or a wand to a conjurer. Speak it but thus, in a deep grave tone, Pax
Vobiscum! It is irresistible-watch and ward, Knight and squire, foot
and horse, it acts as a charm upon them all. I think, if they bring me
out to be hanged tomorrow, as is much to be doubted they may, I will
try its weights upon the finisher of the sentence. ("Wamba, son of
Witless")

Sargent Shriver, a Catholic and Kennedy by marriage, as head of the
Peace Corps and in association with a Coffin, might be considered to be
in a sensitive position in relation to mystical onomatology.

In the ancient mysteries the aspirant could not claim a participation
in the highest secrets until he had been placed in the Pastos, bed or
coffin. The placing of him in the coffin was called the symbolical
death of the mysteries, and his deliverance was termed a rising from
the dead; the "mind," says an ancient writer quoted by Stobaeus, is
afflicted in death just as it is in the initiation in the mysteries.
And word answers to word, as well as thing to thing; for burial is to
die and death to be initiated. The coffin in Masonry is found on the
tracing boards of the early part of the last century, and has always
constituted a part of the symbolism of the Third Degree, where the
reference is precisely to the same as that of the Pastos in the ancient
mysteries. [My emphasis.] (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry)

President Kennedy sat at the head of a coffin table at the White House.
To his back, over a fireplace, hung a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, an
assassinated president. On either side of the picture were urns that
resembled the type called "cinerary urns" which are vessels in which
the ashes of the dead are kept.

A book about JFK was called Three Steps to the White House. In Masonry
are what is known as the "three symbolical steps." "The three grand
steps symbolically lead from this life to the source of all knowledge."
(Encyclopedia of Freemasonry)

It must be evident to every Master Mason without further explanation,
that the three steps are taken from the darkness to a place of light,
either figuratively or really over a coffin, the symbol of death, to
teach symbolically that the passage from darkness and ignorance of this
life through death to the light and knowledge of eternal life. And this
from earliest times was the true symbolism of the step. (Ibid.)

The body of President Kennedy was placed in a coffin which was
positioned in the center of a circle under the Capitol dome. The
catafalque was "a temporary structure of wood appropriately decorated
with funeral symbols and representing a tomb or cenotaph. It forms a
part of the decorations of a 'Sorrow Lodge.' " This Masonic
Encyclopedia entry refers to the ceremonies of the Third Degree in
Lodges of the French Rite.

Pictures taken of the Kennedy coffin and catafalque show these two
props of the funerary rite as a point in a circle. Fecundity is the
symbolic signification of the Point within a circle and is a derivation
of ancient sun worship.

In the lore of mystery cults and fertility religions was invariably the
legend of the death of the hero god and the disappearance of his body.
In the subsequent search and supposed finding of the body we see the
contrivance of an elaborate psychological ruse. The body was said to
have been concealed by the killer or killers of the hero god. The
concealment of the body was called "aphanism" and is a rite of the
Masonic 3rd Degree. Anyone interested in comprehending the mechanics of
group mind control would do well to study the 3rd and 9th degrees in
particular, and all the grades of Masonry in general. The disappearance
of the body, this aphanism, is to be found in the assassination of
President Kennedy:

The President's brain was removed and his body buried without it ...
Dr. Cyril Wecht, chief medical examiner of Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, past president of the American Academy of Forensic
Scientists, and a professor of pathology and law, received permission
from the Kennedy family in 1972 to view the autopsy materials (at the
National Archives) ... When he routinely asked to see the brain, Wecht
was told it was missing, along with the microscopic slides of the
brain. Marion Johnson, curator of the Warren Commission's material at
the Archives said, "The brain's not here. We don't know what happened
to it." (Los Angeles Free Press, Special Report No. I, pg. 16)

If and when the brain is recovered, the entire process will have been
completed under the term "euresis." In the Masonic Mysteries
are "symbolical ladders." On the Masonic tracing board of 1776 there is
a ladder with three steps, a significant revision of the usual ladder
in such references (seven steps).

There are of course all sorts of ladders: the Brahmanical Ladder (seven
steps), the Kadosh Ladder (seven steps), Rosicrucian Ladder (seven
steps), Jacob's Ladder (various numbers attributed), the Kabbalistic
Ladder (ten steps); then there is old "Tim Finnegan's Ladder" which is
known to some as the "Ladder of Misfortune," and it is seemingly
comprised of one false step after another.

Tim Finnegan was an Irish hod carrier who fell off his ladder while
drunk. Since he was apparently dead, his friends held a "Death Watch"
(black watch or wake) at his coffin. This watch lived up to the
traditional "liveliness" of these affairs and Mr. Finnegan was splashed
with some vintage Irish whiskey (Fitzgerald's?) and
resurrected. "Finnegan's Wake"...

After the Kennedy coffin was removed from the center of the Capitol
rotunda circle, it was taken, with pageantry, to the street for
viewing. The funeral procession made an "unplanned stop" on
Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the "Occidental Restaurant" and a
picture was taken of the flag draped Kennedy coffin with the
word "Occidental" featured prominently over it. In Masonry and in the
lore of the Egyptian jackal-god Anubis, a dead person is said to
have "gone west."

Several months after the Kennedy funeral, "Occidental Life," an
insurance branch of the Transamerica Corporation, ran an advertisement
for group life insurance which it proclaimed to be "new" but contained
a turn that was indeed original: the inferential weird claim was made
that "Until now there was only one way to cash in on Group Insurance"
(my emphasis); apparently some rather profound changes were made in the
manner of things-as-they-are after the "Killing of the King" had become
a fait accompli.

The spontaneous stop was made because of the horse Sardar ("chief"), a
gelding ("Castro"), which was wearing boots pointing around to the rear
in the Kennedy funerary rite. Horses figure prominently not only in the
pleasure of kings but in their murders as well. James Earl Ray was
convicted partly on the evidence of a "white Mustang" (automobile),
Sirhan Sirhan claimed to his psychiatrists, trance-like, that he shot
Robert Kennedy "for a mustang, mustang, mustang ..."

John F. Kennedy had demonstrated affection for the performance of a
lady who was a renowned ostrich-feather fan-manipulator (Norma Jean
Baker a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe). In Egypt, lamenting girls with ostrich
feather-fans sang a song of entreaty of the type that Nephthys and Isis
reputedly sang as a dirge, before the partial resurrection and/or
erection of Osiris. The sad dirge or lamentation has become known as
a "Maneros" consisting primarily of the singers entreating the dead to
return, by singing "come to my house" and then offering inducements of
some type or other.

It is a damn pity that the ritualists didn't have Marilyn Monroe and
Rosemary Clooney sing a Maneros at the JFK funeral, for Rosemary
Clooney just couldn't believe that JFK was dead at the time, and
Marilyn Monroe was killed because of JFK. In Ancient Egypt the entreaty
to the dead of the type said to be performed by Isis and Nepthys was
usually performed with a hawk-fertility-goddess statue present along
with other funerary symbolism.

Jacqueline Kennedy was considered "fashionable, erudite, erotic and
stunningly gorgeous." Mrs. Kennedy visited an exhibition of Egyptian
funerary rite symbols at the National Gallery of Art where she was
photographed with a depiction of the "hawk-headed divinity that was
said to be named Hor-khenty-khem." Recently there was a traveling
nightmare of funerary symbolism touring the country (the Tutankhamen
exhibit of the National Endowment of the Humanities).

Before JFK began his Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death), he was
photographed with Yugoslavian dictator Tito on the winding stairs in
the White House. Tito is a significant name in Masonry since it was the
title given to Prince Harodim, the first Judge and Provost said to be
appointed by King Solomon. The Tito was a reputed favorite of Solomon,
whose temple was a hotbed of thievery, money-changing, male and female
prostitution and sorcery. This ancient Tito presided over the Lodge of
Intendants of this temple and was one of the "twelve knights of the
twelve tribes of Israel."

Let me repeat, JFK was on some winding stairs with a man named Tito.
Winding stairs are symbolically important in Masonry.

The degree of the winding stair is taught in the degree of Fellow
Craft. This is the Second Degree, and a person at this grade is of
course a candidate for the symbolic assassination, euresis, autopsy and
coffin resurrection of the Third Degree.

The number of steps in the winding stair are "odd" although no less so
than the fact that this Tito or Harodim is a name translating as "those
who rule over" the activities of the temple Solomon.

The winding stairs of this temple, according to the Masons, begins at
the porch and winds to a level purified by the Divine Presence
(Shekinah) and dominated by the Divine Strength (Oswald).

President Kennedy preceded Tito down the stairs to a portrait of the
assassinated President Garfield where he was photographed, and another
picture was taken on the stairs before a picture of Lincoln (recall the
black walnut rocker of JFK, comparable to the black walnut rocker
Lincoln was assassinated in; the "Lincoln Continental" limousine in
which Kennedy was shot and the dozens of other parallels between the
two men). It's unfortunate that President Kennedy didn't trip Tito and
then slide down the stair-rail, for he was in a very vulnerable
position as related to Masonic sorcery, and such unorthodox action
might have rattled the "Prince of Harodim."

John F. Kennedy, the one and only Catholic president of the United

States, was a human scapegoat, a "pharmakos." "Pharmakos" or "Pharmak-
vos" can mean "enchantment with drugs and sorcery" or "beaten, crippled
or immolated." In alchemy, the Killing of the King was symbolized by a
crucified snake on a tau cross, a variant of the crucifixion of Jesus.

Jesus Christ was tortured and murdered as the result of the intrigue of
the men of the Temple of Solomon who hated and feared Him. They were
steeped in Egyptian, Babylonian and Phoenician mysticism.

Masonry does not believe in murdering a man in just any old way and in
the JFK assassination it went to incredible lengths and took great
risks in order to make this heinous act of theirs correspond to the

ancient fertility oblation of the Killing of the King.

I have stated that the three hoboes arrested at the time of the
assassination in Dallas are at least as important symbolically as
operationally and that they comprise the "Three Unworthy Craftsmen" of
Masonry. This symbolism is at once a telling psychological blow against
the victim and his comrades, a sign of frustrated inquiry-- the
supposedly senseless nature of any quest into the authentic nature of
the murderers--and a mirror or doppelganger of the three assassins who
execute the actual murder.

As for the three assassins themselves:

Perry Raymond Russo told a New Orleans grand jury that [CIA agent
David] Ferrie said [regarding the assassination of JFK] that "there
would have to be a minimum of three people involved. Two of the persons
would shoot diversionary shots and the third ... shot the good shot."
Ferrie said that one of the three would have to be the "scapegoat." He
also said that Ferrie discoursed on the availability of exit, saying
that the sacrificed man would give the other two time to escape.
(Quoted by W.H. Bowart in Operation Mind Control).

The Warren Commission

Gentlemen, don't pass me by!

Don't miss your opportunity!

Inspect my wares with careful eye; I have a great variety. And yet
there is nothing on my stall.

(Witch in Goethe's Faust I, Walpurgis Night)

These are the thoughts of a huckster-witch which one need not search
for dressed all in black with conical cap; instead, look among the gray
flannel suits in the board rooms and offices of the newspapers,
electronic media, government and advertising agencies-that is, those
who are not busy working for the CIA or Naval Intelligence selling the
public lies.

Mason Lyndon Johnson appointed Mason Earl Warren to investigate the
death of Catholic Kennedy. Mason and member of the 33rd degree, Gerald
R. Ford, was instrumental in suppressing what little evidence of a
conspiratorial nature reached the commission. Responsible for supplying
information to the commission was Mason and member of the 33rd degree,
J. Edgar Hoover. Former CIA director and Mason Allen Dulles was
responsible for most of his agency's data supplied to the panel.

Is it paranoid to be suspicious of the findings of the panel on these
grounds? Would it be paranoid to suspect a panel of Nazis appointed to
investigate the death of a Jew or to suspect a commission of Klansmen
appointed to investigate the death of a negro?

Representative Hale Boggs, the only Catholic on the commission, at
first agreed with its findings and when he later began to seriously
question them he was "accidentally" killed in a plane crash.

HOODWINK. (Definition.) A symbol of the secrecy, silence and darkness
in which the mysteries of our art should be preserved from the
unhallowed gaze of the profane."-Dr. Albert Mackey, Mason, member of
the 33rd degree, foremost Masonic historian of the nineteenth century,
writing in the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry.

That is how they see us, as "profane," as "cowans" (outsiders), unclean
and too perverted to look upon their hallowed truths. Yes, murder,
sexual atrocities, mind control, attacks against the people of the
United States, all of these things are so elevated, so lofty and holy
as to be beyond the view of mere humans.

Ruby

On December 20, 1947, Jacob Rubinstein changed his name to Jack L. Ruby
by decree of the 68th Judicial Court of Dallas, Texas. The etymology of
the term "Ruby": (French) rubis; (Spanish) rubi; (Latin) rubinus,
carbuncle.

ln old law books it was once the practice to print some of the titles
of the statutes in red and these were termed rubrics or a ruby and
hence any fixed, formulated or authoritative injunction of duty was apt
to be designated as being a rubric or ruby.

As a rubinus or carbuncle Ruby is associated with the "Breastplate of
Judgment" used by the Chosen Mispet (High Priests) of Jewish sorcery,
enabling them to receive "divine" answers regarding the welfare of
Judaism; some interpretations claim that the "Breastplate of Judgment"
manifested the immediate presence of Jehovah and was also worn by
Masons in Royal Arch chapters.

This "breastplate [which] contained twelve stones" each symbolized one
of the twelve tribes of Israel. The carbuncle or ruby was connected to
the tribe of Judah (Nohpech).

The term "Jack Ruby" was once used by pawnbrokers to indicated a fake
ruby.

In iconography a ruby or carbuncle symbolizes blood, suffering and
death.

Truth or Consequences

District Attorney for New Orleans, James Garrison, was supported by
a "Truth or Consequences" Club and is alleged to have been an ex-FBI
agent and to have been mentally disturbed at one time. Jim Garrison was
an outsider in the Secret Society machinations of the FBI and may very
well have been pharmacologically or hypnotically induced to set up his
ill-fated investigation and the position he acquired in the "Truth or
Consequences Commission."

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, is a town located on the 33rd degree
of parallel latitude, and near the same latitude John Fitzgerald
Kennedy became an oblation and on the same latitude is the chief Temple
on this planet in the minds of sorcerers, namely the Temple of Solomon
at Jerusalem, which was once located there and is sworn to be rebuilt
on this 33rd degree.

In a literal, alchemical sense, the Making Manifest of All That is
Hidden is the accomplishment of the 3rd Law of the Alchemists and is,
as yet, unfulfilled or at least not completed; the other two have been:
the creation and destruction of primordial mater (the detonation of the
first Atomic Bomb at the Trinity Site, at White Sands, New Mexico, on
the 33rd degree of parallel), the Killing of the King (at the Trinity
Site, at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, near the 33rd degree of latitude).

Only the repetition of information presented in conjunction with
knowledge of this mechanism of Making Manifest of All That is Hidden
provides the sort of boldness and will which can demonstrate that we
are aware of all the enemies, all the opponents, all the tricks and
gadgetry, and yet we are still not dissuaded, that we work for the
truth for the sake of the truth. Let the rest take upon themselves and
their children the consequences of their actions.

The Role of Richard Nixon and George Bush

The Role of Richard Nixon and George Bush in the Assassination of
President Kennedy

By Paul Kangas
From "The Realist," Summer, 1991

A newly discovered FBI document reveals that, George Bush was directly
involved in the 1963 murder of President John Kennedy. The document
places Bush working with the now-famous CIA agent, Felix Rodriguez,
recruiting right-wing Cuban exiles for the invasion of Cuba. It was
Bush's CIA job to organize the Cuban community in Miami for the
invasion. The Cubans were trained as marksmen by the CIA. Bush at that
time lived in Texas. Hopping from Houston to Miami weekly, Bush spent
1960 and '61 recruiting Cubans in Miami for the invasion. That is how
he met Felix Rodriguez.

You may remember Rodriguez as the Iran-contra CIA agent who received
the first phone call telling the world the CIA plane flown by Gene
Hasenfus had crashed in Nicaragua. As soon as Rodriguez heard that the
plane crashed, he called his long-time CIA supervisor, who was now vice
president, George Bush. Bush denied being in the contra loop, but
investigators recently obtained copies of Oliver North's diary, which
documents Bush's role as a CIA supervisor of the contra supply network.

In 1988, Bush told congress he knew nothing about ihe illegal supply
flights until 1987, yet North 's diary shows Bush at the first planning
meeting Aug. 6, 1985. Bush's 'official" log placed him somewhere else.
Such double sets of logs are intended to hide Bush's real role in the
CIA; to provide him with "plausible deniability." The problem is, it
fell apart because too many people. Like North and Rodriguez, have kept
records that show Bush's CIA role back to the 1961 invasion of Cuba
(Source: The Washington Post, 7-10-90)

That is exactly how evidence was uncovered placing Georgc Bush working
with Felix Rodriguez when JFK was killed. A memo from FBI head J. Edgar
Hoover was found, stating that, "Mr. George Bush of the CIA" had been
briefed on November 23rd, 1963 about the reaction of anti-Castro Cuban
exiles in Miami to the assassination of President Kennedy. (Source: The
Nation, 8-1388)

On the day of the assassination, Bush was in Texas, but he denies
knowing exactly where he was. Since he had been the supervisor for the
secret Cuban teams, headed by former Cuban police commander Felix
Rodriguez, since 1960, it is unlikely Bush was also in Dallas in 1963.
Several of the Cubans he was supervising as dirty-tricks teams for
Nixon, were photographed in the Zapruder film.

In 1959 Rodriguez was a top cop in the Cuban govemment under Batista.
When Batista was overthrown and fled to Miami, Rodriguez went with him,
along with Frank Sturgis and Rafael Quintero. Officially, Rodriguez
didn't join the CIA until 1967, after the CIA invasion of Cuba, in
which he participated, and the assassination of JFK. But records
recently uncovered show he actually joined the CIA in 1961 for the
invasion of Cuba when he was recruited by George Bush. That is how
Rodriguez claims he became a "close, personal friend of Bush."

The "official" Rodriguez claims he quit the CIA in 1976, just after he
was sent to prison for his role in the Watergate burglary. However,
according to Rolling Stone reporters Kohn & Monks (Nov. 3, 1988),
Rodriguez still goes to CIA headquarters monthly to receive assignments
and have his blue 1987 bulletproof Cadillac serviced. Rodriguez was
asked by a Rolling Stone reporter where he was the day JFK was shot,
and he claims he can't remember.

George Bush claims he never worked for the CIA until he was appointed
Director, by former Warren Commission director and then president Jerry
Ford, in 1976. Logic suggests that is highly unlikely. Of course, Bush
has a company duty to deny being in the CIA. The CIA is a secret
organization. No one ever admits to being a member. The truth is that
Bush has been a top CIA official since before the 1961 invasion of
Cuba, working with Felix Rodriguez.

Excerpts from "We Were Controlled"

Excerpts from "We Were Controlled," by Lincoln Lawrence, University
Books, 1967:

A small group of hard-as-steel international criminals (with German-
Argentine intellectual and scientific backgrounds) carefully calculated
that:

The coincidence of the assassination of a President of the United
States . . . and the sim- ultaneous scandalizing and collapse of the
commodities market . . . would rapidly drive the stock market down at
least 30 points ! Having advance knowledge of this event . . . the
group would sell short on a heavily financed scale . . . and a profit
of perhaps a half-billion dollars would be divided amongst its
members !

Victims of the advanced techniques of behavior control--R.H.I.C. and
E.D.O.M. Lee Oswald, Jack Ruby and key figures in the commodities
market were used, without their knowledge, as the human tools by which
the end result would be achieved. And thus . . . more money was to be
accrued from one single crime than ever before in history! This, in
effect, is The Rumor. The job of this book is to ascertain whether the
facts support it! In the course of examining the structure of The Rumor
we will learn just how far advanced the art of Behavior Control is
today. Is it a tool, a weapon, Or at the very worst, a scientific
nightmare that threatens our freedom and security?
--pp.23-24

There are two particularly dreadful procedures which have been
developed. Those working and playing with them secretly call them
R.H.I.C. and E.D.O.M. Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control and
Electronic Dissolution of Memory.

Although the general public is still in the dark about the progress
being made (and the implications of such progress upon the freedoms of
man), the United Nations is quite aware of it. The International Brain
Research Organization-IBRO-was formed by UNESCO and held lts first
formal meeting in Paris in October of 1960. Present-day work in thought
control is undoubtedly under UN observation.
--pp.27-28

Returning to our investigation of The Rumor, we note that in tlne
period from 1958 to 1959, a figure in the case decided to go to
Switzerland and apparently to Germany. In Switzerland, he would, he
stated, like to attend the Albert Schweitzer College in order to, among
other things, "broaden my knowledge of German and live in a healthy
atmosphere and Good Moral atmosphere."

The man (under an influence? . . . perhaps one that continued long
after) who applied for a passport to Switzerland and Germany on
September 21, 1959, was Lee Harvey Oswald. The world has a picture of
Oswald as a Castro-Moscow sympathizer. That would lead us to accept his
interest in Spanish and Russian . . . But little known to us was his
interest, by his own statement, in German!

The "strong" man that those close to Lee Oswald said was his best
friend in those months before the assassination was George De
Mohrenschildt. This clever, sophisticated man, whose international
background included friendships With Jackie Kennedy's father and
mother, somehow found time to attune himself to the conversational
sparkle of the Oswald household.

George De Mohrenschildt was born in Mozyr, Russia. His father was of
German descent. George, unlike his brother, obscured his German
heritage by a change of name from Von Mohrenschildt to De
Mohrenschildt. This fact was brought out by assistant counsel Albert
Jenner in information gathered for the Warren Report. Jenner has since
been condemned along with the rest of the Commission for lack of zeal
in digging out the real facts. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note
that he scratched far enough below the surface to uncover the fact that
in the 1940's De Mohrenschildt was involved in a business venture
called Facts, Inc., with a questionable partner, a "distant" cousin
named Baron Maydell. Jenner suggested that Maydell was accused of being
a German spy. De Mohrenschildt admitted that people considered Maydell
pro-Nazi.

A particnlarly odd coincidence showing up as a result of Jenner's
interrogation has to do with De Mohrenschildt's father. He was seized
by the Communist regime for being outspoken, but decided later not to
flee from Russia. To quote De Mohrenschildt, his father heard from
somebody that they (the Communists) had become liberal" and so
he "stayed in Minsk..." Lee Harvey Oswald was later to stay in Minsk.
--pp. 61-63

In the bars and cafes of the world where tired intelligence men of all
nations take their coffee or wine, the inside talk of the profession
often turns to Oswald. He is a natural subject for the after hours
trade-talk that they love so dearly. Oh, it's discreet enough. Men who
work in the same department, in the same office, even in teams on the
same assignments pass the time this way. Trading tidbits on Oswald,
theories about his possible connections with the various intelligence
branches, foreign and domestic, is a popular pastime.

The initial basis for shop-talk speculation as to Oswald's
connections "higher up" rests simply upon his access to money. Money to
travel with.

Ask your next door neighbor if he'd like to travel more . . . he'll
probably look at you oddly and reply, "Of course, if I had the money!"

Lee Harvey Oswald always had the time (which means loss of regular
salary) . . . and he always seemed to have the money.

He travelled to Los Angeles, to Mexico, to London, to Moscow and back.
He travelled to whatever spot his strange destiny drove him . . . and
when he wanted to !

In a questioning session with Wesley J. Liebeler (Assistant Counsel to
the Warren Commission), Nelson Delgado, a "buddy" of Oswald's during
his Marine days, said in part, ". . . and just after he started
receiving these letters-you-see-he would never go out, he'd stay near
the post all the time. He always had money."

Liebeler noted the point and made Delgado repeat the answer.

Oswald had money to pay for the tuition to a college he was interested
in. He had the money to pay back the State Department for the loan they
made to him for his return from Russia. He had the money to buy
firearms, travel constantly, and money for "causes."

An example of this occurred when he printed literature on behalf of the
Fair Play for Cuba Committee without their knowledge or authorization
and at his own expense.

A New York City radio personality, Long John Nebel, has stated that a
Lee Oswald phoned him from Louisiana and offered to make the trip to
New York at his own expense just in order to discuss political matters
on Nebel's top-rated discussion show. (Nebel shrewdly assayed Oswald's
personality and declined the offer.)

For certain things . . . Lee Oswald. . . had money . . . make no
mistake about it. Not for Marina or his home particularly.. . but for
expediting his actions.

Did this money come from the CIA, FBI, State Department, Castro or the
Soviets? No, not according to The Rumor.

But it was there to be had . . . made available to him by some
group . . . for a reason.

The simple fact is the most convincing argument to men who follow the
professional intelligence craft . . . that he was "somebody's man."

The Rumor crystallizes a picture of Lee Oswald as a ''high-jacked
sleeper." In intelligence jargon that simply means that he was selected
by one group and maneuvered into the orbit of another group which
trained and prepared him for work in the future when they (the second
group) might have need for his "special" qualifications. The first
group had secretly spotted him as an ideal person to use as a tool in a
very specia] operation. His desirability was even higher because the
blame for his actions (should he be caught) would fall quite naturally
on the second group. He was the man high-jacked by some of the most
amazing and sophisticated methods known to modern science and secretly-
without his own conscious knowledge-used as a key man in the plot to
kill John F. Kennedy and "rig" the Stock Exchange. He was to play a
major role in crime of our century!

Chapter I

Permindex and Its Five Subsidiaries

When Jim Garrison, the New Orleans District Attorney, began
to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy, he took
the position that regardless of who was behind the assassination,
the American people could take the truth, should have the facts,
and that the right of the American people to know superseded any
damage that might be done to the image of the United States by
the revelation of respected government leaders' involvement in
the crime.
Chief Justice Warren and other members of the Commission
charged to investigate the assassination took another position:
that is, to reveal the assassination scheme would do great harm
and damage to the image of the United States in the eyes of the
world, and therefore, it would be to the best interests of the
Nation that their findings be as were reported by them.
Enough evidence has now been uncovered by the Warren
Commission, other investigative agencies here and in Europe, and
Jim Garrison to reveal an almost total working knowledge of how
the assassination was carried out and by whom.
The killing of President Kennedy was planned and supervised
by Division Five of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a
relatively small department within the FBI whose usual duties are
espionage and counter-espionage activities.
Actually, Division Five acted dually with the Defense
Intelligence Agency which was acting on behalf of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. Directly under the two-pronged
leadership of Division Five and the DIA was the Control Group,
their highly secret policy agency - the Defense Industrial
Security Command.
The Defense Industrial Security Command has always been kept
secret because it acts, in addition to its two official control
organizations, on behalf of NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission,
the U.S. Information Agency, and the arms, equipment, ammunition,
munitions and related miscellaneous supply manufacturing
corporations contracting with NASA, the AEC, USIA, and the
Pentagon.
One can readily observe that DISC is not compatible with an
open Democracy and the U.S. Constitution. Consequently, the top
secret arms manufacturers' police agency has been kept from the
knowledge of even most U.S. officials and Congressmen.
The Defense Industrial Security Command had its beginnings
when J. Edgar Hoover in the early 1930's organized the police
force of the fledgling Tennessee Valley Authority at the request
of David Lillienthal. The police force covered the entire TVA
from Knoxville, Tennessee through Huntsville and Florence,
Alabama into Kentucky and back through the eastern portion of
Tennessee into southern Kentucky. This was one of the first
federal agencies with a separate police force. This force grew
and Lillienthal took it forward to cover the Atomic Energy
Commission, thus tying it into the Army Intelligence Service.
L.M. Bloomfield, a Montreal, CANADA lawyer bearing the
reputation as a sex deviate, the direct supervisor of all
contractual agents with J. Edgar Hoover's Division Five, was the
top co-ordinator for the network planning the execution. A Swiss
corporation, Permindex, was used to head five front organizations
responsible for furnishing personnel and supervisors to carry out
assigned duties.
The five groups under Permindex and their supervisors were:

1. The Czarist Russian, Eastern European and Middle East exile
organization called SOLIDARISTS, headed by Ferenc Nagy, ex-
Hungarian Premier, and John DeMenil, Russian exile from
Houston, Texas, a close friend and supporter of Lyndon
Johnson for over thirty years.

2. A section of the AMERICAN COUNCIL OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
headed by H.L. Hunt of Dallas, Texas.

3. A Cuban exile group called FREE CUBA COMMITTEE headed by
Carlos Prio Socarras, ex-Cuban President.

4. An organization of United States, Caribbean, and Havana,
Cuba gamblers called the Syndicate headed by Clifford Jones,
ex-Lieutenant Governor of Nevada and Democratic National
Committeeman, and Bobby Baker of Washington, D.C. This group
worked closely with a Mafia family headed by Joe Bonnano.

5. The SECURITY DIVISION of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) headed by Wernher Von Braun, head of
the German Nazi rocket program from 1932 through 1945.
Headquarters for this group was the DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL
SECURITY COMMAND at Muscle Shoals Redstone Arsenal in
Alabama and on East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio.

The Defense Industrial Security Command is the police and
espionage agency for the U.S. munitions makers. DISC was
organized by J. Edgar Hoover; William Sullivan, his chief
assistant, is in direct command. We shall later examine the
involvement of a large number of the DISC agents including Clay
Shaw, Guy Bannister, David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby
and others with Permindex's Louis Mortimer Bloomfield of
Montreal, Canada in charge.
As it must be, all of the preceding facts are established
and documented by overwhelming evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
on the following pages.
Gordon Novel obtained the aid of the Columbus office in 1967
when Jim Garrison was attempting to get him back to Louisiana
from Ohio. Personnel of the Defense Intelligence Agency were
subject to assignment with the Defense Industrial Security
Command.
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was in
charge of NASA's Security Division and the Defense Industrial
Security Command in his position as head of counter-espionage
activities in the United States. His agents investigated every
employee of the space agency as well as the employees of the
pertinent contractors doing business with NASA and also
prospective employees of every arms and munitions manufacturer.
The Defense Intelligence Agency is headed by Lt. General
Joseph F. Carroll, a former assistant Director of the FBI.
Carroll worked closely with Sullivan, Hoover and L.M. Bloomfield
in directing activities of the munition-makers' police agency,
the Defense Industrial Security Command. Walter Sheridan, whose
activities are covered later, was the direct liaison man between
Carroll and Robert F. Kennedy during the pertinent period.
The address for DISC is 3990 East Broad Street, Columbus,
Ohio. The Field office for the Command was located at the old
Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville and Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Von Braun had been decorated more than any other Nazi during
World War II. Hoover had worked directly with Von Braun in
connection with NASA's security since his arrival in the United
States in December 1945.
Lyndon Johnson, as Vice-President, was Chairman of NASA, and
he, Von Braun, Bobby Baker, [and] Fred Black had worked
diligently to obtain the nine billion dollar Apollo contract for
North American Aviation in 1961. NASA awarded this contract to
North American despite the fact that it went against the
recommendation of its own source evaluation board.1
Each of the NASA security personnel who were assigned duties
in connection with the assassination were employees or
contractees for Division Five of the FBI and many were connected
with the other four groups. It must be born in mind that this was
a relatively small group within all of these agencies. It was not
official, and it was not an American operation, but was simply
the independent action taken by these men, some of whom happened
to hold official positions.
J. Edgar Hoover was named first Director of the FBI in 1924,
and he immediately organized the anti-communist Division Five for
espionage and counter-espionage work which President Roosevelt
made official in 1936. Actually, Division Five was in existence
as the General Intelligence Division of the Justice Department
since 1919. Hoover, an Assistant Attorney General and head of the
GID, had used the Czarist Russians in tracing the Bolsheviks
during the Red Scare and Palmer raids of that period.2
1924 was the year the Communists finally took complete
control of Russia after five years of resistance by the imperial
Czarists. From 1918 to 1923, the leaders of the Czarists were
leaving Russia with vast fortunes by the tens of thousands. One
of those escaping Russians was John DeMenil, presently of
Houston, Texas, who fled to France, married into the Schlumberger
family, moved to Caracas, Venezuela and then to Houston, Texas
before World War II. He is presently the Chairman of the Board of
Schlumberger Corporation, a world-wide oil well service company.
The forerunners of the Solidarists have been described by
James Wechsler of the New York Post and other writers, before and
during World War II, as the Ukrainian Fascists. The Solidarists
expanded this group to include all East European exiles,
including those of various religious denominations.
Of course, these Russian exiles in all countries of the
world were violently anti-communist and considered themselves as
a government in exile with headquarters in Munich, Germany.3 One
has only to glance at Czarist Russian history to learn that these
people are the most proficient dealers in assassination the world
has ever known.
George DeMohrenschildt, a Russian emigre who refused to join
the Solidarists and who was familiar with the workings of
espionage groups and had worked with them in the past, testified
that J. Edgar Hoover, using Division Five of the FBI, was the
planner of the assassination of President Kennedy. Through
DeMohrenschildt's testimony before the Commission and his
documentation, the connection of the espionage section of the FBI
and the Assassination has been established.4
The public records of the Corporate Records Department of
Italy and Switzerland, Who's Who in the South and Southwest,
1963, 1964, The Invisible Government, The Espionage Establishment
by Wise and Ross, Buddy Floyd murder files, Alice Texas, Warren
Commission 26 volumes., the Grand Jury records of New Orleans
Parish, New Orleans Louisiana, all further substantiate, bolster,
and corroborate the testimony of DeMohrenschildt concerning the
FBI's Division Five's involvement.
Many examiners of the case have concluded that George
DeMohrenschildt was a part of the conspiracy because of his close
association with Oswald during the fall of 1962, and winter and
early spring of 1963, but a close reading of the Russian exile's
testimony before the Warren Commission shows that DeMohrenschildt
was being used by the Solidarists the same as Oswald was being
used, and was to have been tied in with Oswald; in connection
with the assassination. However, DeMohrenschildt, a highly
polished professional geologist, saved himself by moving to Haiti
in April of 1963 in connection with a contract with the
government of Haiti, where he still resided on the day of the
assassination of President Kennedy.
DeMohrenschildt, in retrospect, knew that Division Five of
the FBI and the Solidarists had intended to use him as a
scapegoat along with Oswald, and he did not hesitate to name the
small group within the Federal Bureau of Investigation as the
instigators of the assassination of President Kennedy.5
Concerning the Solidarists, Jack Ruby was a second
generation immigrant from the White Russian area of Poland and
his brother, Hyman Rubenstein, was born there. Ralph Paul, Ruby's
Dallas partner in the Carousel Club, was a Russian immigrant
having been born in Kiev, Russia.6
While in confinement, Jack Ruby said in letters later
authenticated by Hamilton Autographs, New York City, that pogroms
against the Jews in this country were a real threat. He repeated
over and over the words "pogroms against the Jews" in these
letters and in a number of habeas corpus hearings in Federal
District Court in Dallas, and at the same time, he testified that
Lyndon Johnson was the head of the organization carrying out the
assassination plans. Ruby's testimony is acceptable in every
court as an accomplice witness needing only corroboration in so
far as his naming Lyndon Johnson as one of the accomplices. This
has been done.
Ruby's constant use of the words "pogroms against the Jews"
reveal his close affiliation with and his deeply ingrained
awareness of his family's Russian Czarist background. Everyone
even slightly conversant with Russian history knows that the
words "pogroms against the Jews" are exclusively descriptive of
the Czarist Russian Cossacks pillaging and killing of Jews in
their villages and neighborhoods in Russia during the centuries
under the Czars. But to return to J. Edgar Hoover's connection
with the Czarist Russians in exile.
With the Solidarists' vast number of agents within Russia
and the common anti-communist objectives with J. Edgar Hoover,
these two groups immediately merged and have continually worked
almost as one since that time. In 1960, when it was determined
that Castro was a Communist, he too was considered an occupying
force, and the Cuban exiles with the common cause worked quite
naturally into the Solidarist and Division Five organizations.
Another organization participating with Division Five was a
religious group called the American Council of Christian
Churches. A.C.C.C.'s West Coast representative, E.E. Bradley, was
indicted by the New Orleans Grand Jury for complicity in the
assassination. A.C.C.C. launched a campaign in 1964, at J. Edgar
Hoover's request, to elect him President of the United States.7
In 1941, J. Edgar Hoover had his good friend and agent, Carl
McIntire, organize the espionage and intelligence unit under the
cover name "American Council of Christian Churches" with the
headquarters in New York City. This group was able to take in
many innocent religious groups who did not know they were
connected with a spy and propaganda agency. However, Hoover and
McIntire through this guise were able to place agents posing as
ministers and missionaries throughout the United States and most
Latin American countries. We will examine the involvement of this
group's agents later.8
HOOVER was joined in the cabal to murder President Kennedy
by LYNDON JOHNSON, WALTER JENKINS, Johnson's assistant, FRED
KORTH (whom Kennedy had fired as Secretary of the Navy some two
weeks before November 22), H.L. HUNT of A.C.C.C, JEAN DEMENIL,
Houston multi-millionaire, head of Schlumberger, and a director
of the Russian exile Solidarists, CARLOS PRIO SOCARRAS, ex-Cuban
president and long time gambling partner of Jack Ruby and
director of the anti-Castro Cubans, BOBBY BAKER, ex-Senate
Secretary, ROY M. COHEN, New York attorney and head of the Jewish
League Against Communism, CLIFFORD JONES, ex-Lieutenant Governor
of Nevada, Democratic National Committeeman, and business partner
with Bobby Baker and L.J. McWillie, L.J. MCWILLIE, of Las Vegas,
Nevada a partner in Havana gambling with Ruby and Jones, L.M.
BLOOMFIELD of Montreal, a long time friend and agent of J. Edgar
Hoover, FERENC NAGY, ex-Premier of Hungary, WERNHER VON BRAUN,
German Nazi rocket engineer whom Hitler personally decorated for
his work in slaughtering over 7,000 Allies during World War II,
JOHN CONNALLY and CLINT MURCHISON, SR.9
L.J. McWillie, who earlier had been a partner in the Havana,
Cuba gambling casino with Jack Ruby, Clifford Jones and ex-Cuban
President, Carlos Prio Socarras, in 1962 entered a new business
arrangement with Clifford Jones and Bobby Baker at the
Thunderbird Hotel Casino in Las Vegas.10 The Warren Commission
uncovered incontrovertible evidence that Ruby and McWillie were
the closest friends and business associates for over fifteen
years. Ruby and Ray Brantly of Dallas, the Warren Commission
discovered, had sent a number of Cobra guns to McWillie in Havana
in 1958, but Ruby and McWillie had been gun runners for years.11
The complicity of Carlos Prio Socarras, President of Cuba
from 1948 to 1952, with the assassination group was documented
and authenticated in the official volumes of the Warren
Commission Hearings in volume XXVI at page 634:

December 1, 1963

AT T-2 advised on November 29, 1963, . . . . stated that in
the . . . 1950's, Jack Ruby held interest in the Colonial
Inn, a nightclub and gambling house in Hollandale, Florida.
He stated that Jack Ruby, known then as Rubenstein, was
active in arranging illegal flights of weapons from Miami to
the Castro organization in Cuba. According to T-2, Ruby was
reportedly part owner of two planes used for these purposes.

T-2 further stated that Ruby subsequently left Miami and
purchased a substantial share in a Havana gambling house in
which one Carlos Prio. . . . was principal owner. T-2 stated
that Carlos Prio was within favor of former Cuban leader
Batista, but was instrumental in financing and managing
accumulation of arms by pro-Castro forces . . .

On page 650 of the same volume, a revealing document is
found connecting Prio, Ruby, and Robert Ray McKeown, the gun-
runner who was to work with Ruby in shipping the surplus jeeps to
Cuba in 1959, T. Gonzales, who rode the bus into Mexico with
Oswald, and Ramos, who stayed at the Hotel Commercia in Mexico
City with Oswald. The document follows:

Information concerning reported contact between Jack L. Ruby
and Robert Ray McKeown was furnished by President's
Commission on March 2, 1964. . . .

Files reveal that McKeown was one of the subjects in an
extensive investigation . . concerning the activities of
Carlos Prio. . . . Prio, a former President of Cuba . . .
was engaged with others, including McKeown, in attempting to
assist Castro in his revolutionary action against the
Batista regime in Cuba. . . .

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Unit, Bureau of Internal Revenue,
continued the investigation in this matter and charged
various individuals, including McKeown, with conspiracy to
smuggle guns and related equipment to Cuba. The defendants
in this action were as follows: Dr. Carlos Prio Socarras,
also known as Carlos Prio, age unknown, male, resident of
Miami, Florida, citizen of Cuba. . . .

Orlando Garcia Vasquez, also known as Orlando Vasquez, F.
Valdez, Ramos, age unknown, male, resident of Miami,

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt

Chapter III

Roy Cohn, General John Medaris, Joe Bonanno, L.M. Bloomfield, the
Syndicate and the Mafia

Roy M. Cohn, using a representative of Intercontinental
Company of Garland, Texas, a subsidiary of Lionel Corporation,
provided a Dallas located agent to work with Ferenc Nagy. This
agent was Ramon Buenrostro Cortez. Others with Cortez in Texas
were Lorenzo Saunders and a Cuban exile, Ignacio Hernandez
Garcia, alias Fernandez Feito.43
In the September 5, 1969 issue of LIFE Magazine, it was
reported that J. Edgar Hoover punished three of his FBI agents in
New York for cooperating with the United States District Attorney
in New York, Robert Morgenthau, in his prosecution against Roy M.
Cohn on a number of felony charges. The LIFE report has this to
say:

During the McCarthy inquisitions of the early 1950's, Cohn,
as Senator McCarthy's chief counsel, had worked closely with
(Louis B.) Nichols and the FBI in developing cases against
suspected Communists. Agents spent weeks screening FBI
security files and extracting them in memos for Cohn during
the prolonged hearings. Through these years Cohn's
friendship with Director Hoover also developed, and this was
further cemented by their mutual regard for the
multimillionaire boss of the huge Schenley distillery
complex, Lewis Rosenstiel. (Cohn to this day addresses
Rosenstiel variously as "commander-in-chief" or "supreme
commander" and Rosenstiel refers to his younger friend as
"field commander" or "sergeant major").

When Nichols decided to retire from the FBI in 1957, Cohn
set out to land him a job with Schenley. He had the willing
support of another Rosenstiel friend, the late conservative
columnist George Sokolsky, for whom Nichols represented 100%
anti-Communist Americanism. At a social evening in August,
1967, Cohn and Sokolsky agreed to try to sell Nichols to
Rosenstiel as prime executive timber.

The next night they made their pitch to Rosenstiel. Nichols,
Cohn contended, was a genius, truly "one of the greatest men
in America", whereupon Rosenstiel dispatched the Schenley
private plane to Washington to fly Nichols and his wife to a
conference at Rosenstiel's Greenwich, Conn. estate. Under
Cohn's continued urging, Rosenstiel agreed to give Nichols a
10-year contract at $100,000 a year, plus stock options, in
addition to arranging for Schenley's to buy and furnish a
Manhattan apartment for Nichols. The whole package had to be
an impressive introduction to corporate business for a
middle-aged FBI man who had spent most of his adult life as
a modestly paid public servant. Nichols later became
executive vice president in charge of corporate development
and public affairs and was elected to the Schenley board.

. . . Hoover personally ordered the three agents transferred
out of New York. On May 2, each received a letter of censure
and was given 30 days to report to his new post - (Donald)
Jones to go to St. Louis, (Russell) Sullivan to Louisville,
and (Jack) Knox to Pittsburgh.

Bureau men are accustomed to being ordered around in a
fairly peremptory way, but such disciplinary transfers
usually have a gloss of logic. This time the men were being
moved for doing what in essence they were paid to do -
helping a U.S. Attorney protect his case. The ensuing rumble
of protest was so loud that it could be heard even outside
the Bureau, which virtually never happens. Morgenthau was
furious. He confronted Assistant FBI Director John F.
Malone, the top man in the New York field office, and Malone
promptly reported the confrontation to Washington. The next
day Hoover personally directed the New York field office to
inform the three wayward agents that they now had until
midnight the following day - 36 hours in all - to report to
their new stations, which they did.

LIFE went on to say: "Cohn has cultivated a long friendship
with Edwin Weisl, President Johnson's handpicked ambassador to
New York's Democratic party. Weisl .... is a frequent Cohn
luncheon companion."
Weisl was a long time friend of Johnson. As a matter of
fact, during the 1950's, Weisl was the general counsel to the
Senate Space Committee and he and Johnson were constantly
together along with General John B. Medaris, then head of the
Army Space Program. Among other groups, Medaris, during this
program, had been in charge of Wernher Von Braun and the other
Nazi space scientists at Huntsville, Alabama.44
From 1960 to 1963, the ruling hierarchy of Lionel
Corporation was General John B. Medaris, Roy Cohn and Joe Bonanno
(Joe Bananas), a top Mafia man from New York, Las Vegas, Tucson
and Montreal, Canada. Lionel Corporation during this period did
over ninety percent of their business with the space agency and
army ordnance furnishing such items as electronic equipment,
rocket parts, chemical warfare agents and flame throwers. Also,
during this period, General Medaris, though having retired in
1960, remained on active duty as special advisor to Army
Intelligence in the Pentagon.45
The Lionel Corporation management was in direct contact with
Louis Mortimer Bloomfield who, among other things, was a lawyer
with offices in Tangiers, Morocco and Paris, France. Bloomfield
was also the president of Heineken's Brewers, Ltd., Canada.
General Medaris was a director of one of the land
speculation companies of Bobby Baker and Senator George Smathers
in Florida. Joe Bonanno (Joe Bananas) in his capacity as a Mafia
leader, was associated in the Havana and Las Vegas gambling with
L.J. McWillie, Clifford Jones and others.46
In addition to J. Edgar Hoover's close association with Roy
Cohn, he was also a long time friend of General Medaris. Joe
Bonanno (Joe Bananas) had been a personal informer for J. Edgar
Hoover for over a decade during 1963.47
Grant Stockdale, ex-United States Ambassador to Ireland and
former George Smathers Administrative Assistant and a stock
holder and officer in Bobby Baker's vending machine and Florida
land transactions, knew and was closely associated with almost
all of the top figures in the cabal.48
Shortly after President Kennedy's assassination on November
22, 1963, Grant Stockdale was pushed, shoved or fell from the
fourteenth story of a Miami building and was killed immediately
in the fall. As an officer in the Bobby Baker enterprises, Grant
Stockdale had particular knowledge of a good part of the workings
of the cabal and his death was one of a series made necessary to
protect the group from public exposure.
A number of the conspirators' connections in the early
1960's and the various connections, organizations and financial
conduits were revealed in books published in 1969.
Donald R. Cressey revealed in his work, Theft of a Nation,
that a "Lelow" was the top guy of the Joseph L. Bonanno group in
Montreal, Canada. The name was overheard on a telephone tap and
it is believed to be Lazlo Nagy, a close relative of Ferenc Nagy.
There, it is also revealed, "the Bonanno family has for decades
had other interests in Montreal which is a bet taking lay-off
center for U.S. bookmakers and lay-off men re-insure their bets."
All of the investigators looking into Louis Mortimer
Bloomfield's activities in connection with Permindex, the Swiss
corporation, reported him as a banker in Montreal, Canada. He is
not a banker as such, but a bet lay-off man is always referred to
as a banker and this is where the confusion came. In fact,
Bloomfield, as has been shown before, was the contract agent in
charge of Division Five, the espionage agency of J. Edgar Hoover,
and was a Montreal lawyer with offices in Paris, France, and
Tangiers, Morocco.49
Among the large number of suppressed Warren Commission
Documents were two which are of interest here. Their titles are:

1.Allegation Oswald was in Tangiers, Morocco
Document Number 1188
2.Allegation Oswald in Montreal, Summer 1963
Document Number 729

Poor's Register for 1963 lists the corporations and dummy
corporations through which Bloomfield funnelled the funds into
and away from the Swiss banks. They are:

Credit Suisse (Canada), Ltd. (a subsidiary of CREDIT SUISSE
of Berne, Switzerland)
Manoir Industries, Ltd.
British Controlled Oil Fields, Ltd.
Grimaldi Siosa Lines (Canada), Ltd.
Berkeley Property Corp., Ltd.
Canscot Realty Investments, Ltd.
Canscot Building, Ltd.
Beaver Hall Investments, Ltd.
Israel Continental Oil Co., Ltd.
Lenzing Pulp and Paper Corp., Ltd.
Leviton Mfg. of Can., Ltd.
Mirelia Investments, Ltd.
Progress Luminaire, Ltd.
Protrade Commercial Devel., Ltd.
Heineken's Breweries (Can.), Ltd.

Ed Reid, in The Grim Reapers, reveals one of the other
subsidiaries of CREDIT SUISSE and conduits through funds were
funnelled. There the connection of Bobby Baker, Morris Dalitz,
Cliff Jones and others in the conspiracy and their connections
with the conduits are shown. The principle funding agency for
Permindex was the Credit Bank of Geneva, also known as Credit
Suisse.50
The Syndicate Caribbean money structure is partially
represented by the Bank of World Commerce, Ltd., which was
incorporated in 1961 under British law in Nassau, Bahamas.
Nevada's Cliff Jones and Ed Levinson were listed as stockholders.
Tied into the whole structure was a firm known in 1961 as Allied
Empire, Inc., formerly Allied Television Films, Inc., of Beverly
Hills, California. At that time Allied Empire was listed as a
corporate stockholder with ten thousand shares of Bank of World
Commerce stock, and was the holding company for the bank.51
The financial structure has myriad connections. A score of
Las Vegas gamblers and state and federal politicians were
involved in the setup through Anjon Savings and Loan, account
Number 804, and Merritt Savings and Loan of Baltimore, Maryland,
which was bought out by Anjon Account Number 804. By means of a
network of American and British corporate laws, Account Number
804's list of depositor-stockholders includes not only the Bank
of World Commerce - $23,000 - but also a number of Las Vegans.
When all the records are put together, we find that the names of
a number of individuals involved show up again and again in the
complex web of gambling operations in various places on the North
American continent and form compass points which chart a course
to the truth of the operation.
Account Number 804 listed among its stockholders: Irving
Devine, Las Vegas gambler whose wife was named by LIFE as a mob
courier, Clifford Jones, Edward Levinson, John Pullman, one time
president, Bank of World Commerce, M.A. Riddle, B.E. Seigelbaum
and Sav-Way Investment Company.
The persons holding office and stock in the Bank of World
Commerce at the time of its inception were: John Pullman,
president and director; Edward Dawson Roberts, vice-president and
director; Gerald Nelson Capps, secretary and treasurer; N.
Roberts, director; Alvin I. Malnic, director, and Philip J
Mathew, director. Among the stockholders were; Leon C. Bloom,
Jr., Clifford A. Jones, John Pullman, Irving Devine, Edward
Levinson and Allied Empire, Inc.
On September 8, 1967, two of the individuals involved with
the Bank of World Commerce and Anjon Savings and Loan, Account
Number 804, were named by LIFE as "bagmen" for Meyer Lansky in
the syndicate's far-flung gambling kingdom. A third, an alleged
"bagwoman", is the wife of one of the Bank of World Commerce
stockholders. Cash was carried by these people and others, the
article stated, via the Bank of World Commerce into the financial
arteries of an organization in the Bahamas known as the Atlas
Bank, a working subsidiary of the CREDIT SUISSE in Berne,
Switzerland. All three of the boards of directors and staffs of
these money entities were what LIFE described as "studded with
both skimmers and couriers" for the mob.52
Among the fund couriers listed was Ben Sigelbaum
(Seigelbaum), sixty-five years old, political advisor and a long
time associate of Ed Levinson in many of his business endeavors.
Sigelbaum was also a business associate and confidant of Bobby
Baker when the latter was Secretary of the Democratic Majority in
the U.S. Senate. Also named was John Pullman, sixty-seven years
old, original president of the Bank of World Commerce who once
served a prison term for violating U.S. liquor laws and gave up
his American citizenship in 1954 to become a Canadian. He now
lives in Switzerland. Another courier was Sylvain Ferdmann, a
thirty-three year old Swiss citizen described as in international
banker and economist and, by U.S. authorities, as a fugitive
accused of interfering with federal inquiries into the skimming
racket in Las Vegas and elsewhere.53
Ida Devine, wife of Las Vegas gambler Irving (Niggy) Devine,
traveled with Sigelbaum from Las Vegas to Miami with skimmed
money for Lansky; Ferdmann is said to have carried the skim from
the Bahamas to Lansky; and Lansky counted the money in Miami,
took his own cut and dispensed other sums, via different
couriers, to a few syndicate chieftains in the United States. At
that point, the story went on, Ferdmann and Pullman carried the
remainder of the funds to the CREDIT SUISSE in Berne, Switzerland
and deposited them in numbered accounts in the Swiss haven for
secret-money banking.54
An active part in the whole affair was carried out by
Ferdmann, who organized the Atlas Bank as the Bahamas subsidiary
of the CREDIT SUISSE of Berne, Switzerland.
The foregoing further confirms, Bloomfield, Permindex,
Double-Chek and the connections with the same group as was
connected earlier in Credit Bank of Geneva which is one and the
same as CREDIT SUISSE, Miami Astaldo Vaduz, Double-Chek, Alex
Carlson and the other Swiss and Liechtenstein Banks.
Fred Black of Washington, D.C. was a lobbyist for North
American Aircraft and business associate with Bobby Baker and
Clifford Jones. Black has confirmed the connection between Jones,
McWillie, Baker, Ruby and ex-Cuban President, Prio.55
After November 22, l963, Black publicly told many people in
Washington, D.C. he had informed J. Edgar Hoover that an income
tax conviction against him must be reversed or he would blow the
lid off Washington with revelations of the assassination
conspirators.56
Lobbyist Black prevailed upon J. Edgar Hoover to admit error
before the Supreme Court where his case was reversed in 1966.57
Hoover did well to rescue Black from the conviction. Fred
Black, while socially drinking with acquaintances in Washington
has, on numerous occasions, been reported to have told of J.
Edgar Hoover's and Bobby Baker's involvement in the assassination
through Las Vegas, Miami and Havana gamblers. He named some of
these as the Fox Brothers of Miami, McLaney of Las Vegas, New
Orleans, Havana and Bahamas, Cliff Jones of Las Vegas, Carlos
Prio Socarras of Havana, Bobby Baker and others. He stated there
was also a connection in that some of the gamblers were Russian
emigres.58
Don Reynolds, Washington, D.C. businessman and associate of
Bobby Baker and who had a number of questionable business
transactions with Walter Jenkins on behalf of Lyndon Johnson,
also gave testimony concerning Bobby Baker's involvement with the
principals and he has stated on numerous public occasions that
this group was behind the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.59
Black was a stockholder with Baker in the Waikiki Savings &
Loan Association in Honolulu. The other members were Clifford
Jones and his law partner, Louis Weiner. There was the Farmers
and Merchants State Bank in Tulsa where Jones joined Baker and
Black in a stock deal and brought in a Miami pal by the name of
Benny Sigelbaum, a courier of funds and documents to the Swiss
banks for Permindex and the Syndicate.60
Of all the enterprises, none could compare with the
controversial Serv-U Corp., a Baker-Black controlled vending-
machine firm. Ed Levinson, president of the Fremont Hotel, Las
Vegas, Nevada, was also a partner. Grant Stockdale, President of
Serv-U and his money is covered later.61
Formed late in 1961, Serve-U Corporation provided vending
machines for the automatic dispensing of food and drink in
companies working on government contracts. In the next two years,
Serv-U was awarded the lion-share of the vending business at
three major aerospace firms - North American Aviation, Northrop
Corporation and Thompson Ramo Wooldridge's Space Technology
Laboratories.62
Baker and Black each bought stock in the company for $1 a
share, while the others paid approximately $16 a share. Early in
1963 when Baker's Carousel Motel in Ocean City, Md. ran into
financial difficulties, it was bought by Ser-U for $1 million.63
McWillie, Baker and Jones were involved in numerous
transactions together, one of which was the incorporation of
Greatamerica, the conglomerate company. The incorporating papers
in Carson City, Nevada dated April 27, 1962 lists Abe Fortas as
vice-president, general counsel and director. There is not
sufficient evidence made public yet to connect Fortas with the
assassination conspiracy.
One of the incorporators of Greatamerica was Clifford A.
Jones, Nevada Lieutenant Governor from 1945-54 and a part owner
and officer of the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas. The gambling
license issued to Jones and a partner in the hotel was revoked by
the Nevada Tax Commission in 1955 on grounds that underworld
figures had interests in the hotel. The decision was later
overturned by the Nevada Supreme Court.64
On January 5, 1966, Clifford Jones was indicted for perjury
in connection with the grand jury investigation of Bobby Baker,
former secretary to Senate Democrats.65
Baker was indicted the same day for conspiracy, tax evasion
and fraudulently converting to his own use nearly $100,000 from
California savings and loan executives who thought they were
making political contributions.66
Clifford Jones was named a co-conspirator in that
indictment. Baker was later convicted of failing to pay tax on
the $100,000. Jones' case had not come to trial as of the summer
of 1969.67
Abe Fortas was Baker's attorney until Johnson became
President in 1963. At that time he withdrew from the case.68
The two other incorporators of Greatamerica were Helen
Irving and Katherine Waldman, both of Las Vegas, and both also
listed as directors of a Las Vegas concern which got a gambling
license in June, 1964. The same three incorporators - Jones and
the two women - were listed as incorporators when Greatamerica
filed to do business in Texas on January 29, 1963, records in the
Texas Secretary of State's Office in Austin showed.69
Troy Post of Dallas, Texas was the originator of
Greatamerica. It was Troy Post working with Bobby Baker and
Clifford Jones who put the conglomerate together. Edward Levinson
of the Freemont Hotel in Las Vegas was associated with Bobby
Baker, Clifford Jones and L.J. McWillie in the plans for the
assassination of President Kennedy. Levinson refused to answer
any questions before the Senate Committee investigating the Bobby
Baker case in 1964.

times.
Levinson and Morris Dalitz of the Desert Inn and Stardust in
Las Vegas were also connected with Carlos Prio Socarras, ex-Cuban
President, and Cliff Jones in all Havana gambling before and
after Castro took control. Morris Dalitz, Roy M. Cohn, H.L. Hunt
and J. Edgar Hoover had worked together for years in the anti-
Communist movement. They had been active as a group for the Joe
McCarthy investigations during the early 1950's.70
Morris Dalitz, for years had been the head of the Cleveland,
Ohio underworld and as such had been a business partner of Joe
Bonanno of the Mafia and Lionel Corporation. Dalitz and Bonanno
had been a constant target of Robert Kennedy in his organized
crime fight. We shall later look into Bonanno's activities and
connections.
Ed Reid in his 1969 book, The Grim Reapers, published a
picture of Lyndon Johnson at Morris Dalitz' Stardust Hotel in Las
Vegas, Nevada, taken when Johnson and Bobby Baker met with Dalitz
prior to the assassination. Johnson and Dalitz were photographed
together a number of times during the important Las Vegas
meeting. Also at the meeting with Johnson, Baker and Dalitz, the
host, were Ed Levinson, Clifford Jones and Roy Cohn.
The great majority of FBI agents knew nothing about Hoover's
actions and capable agents made a conspiracy case against
Clifford Jones along with Bobby Baker in connection with their
various financial transactions. Jones was indicted in 1964 for
the conspiracy and a second indictment was made against him for
perjury, that is for lying under oath when testifying for Baker.
J. Edgar Hoover pressured the Justice Department and Jones
has not been brought to trial for more than five years after the
charges. Hoover and Jones were personally close friends as well
as a members of the assassination cabal.

Because of the wide publicity and public pressure, Hoover
could not quash the Baker case without a trial. However, he
worked through Abe Fortas on the Supreme Court and Baker's
appeals were handled in such a way as to block any final decree
and to bring questions on the case lasting into late 1969.
Hoover's adroit handling of the Baker case has made it
questionable whether Baker will ever serve a day of his sentence.
History has recorded at least as early as World War II the
definite working together of the Mafia and J. Edgar Hoover
through his espionage department. From 1943 to 1946, Lucky
Luciano and selected Mafia members throughout the United States
worked on the docks of the various ports in the United States and
in other areas with J. Edgar Hoover and the military intelligence
agencies in preventing sabotage. Lucky Luciano's prison sentence
was suspended in 1946 and he was allowed to leave the country to
take up residence in Sicily.71
Vito Genovese and his select Mafia group worked with
Mussolini in Italy before and during World War II and were a part
of Mussolini's Fascist governing regime. However, in 1943, as the
American Forces worked their way up the Italian peninsula, the
same Vito Genovese and his group became active agents for the
United States intelligence agencies and a number of American
officials wrote flowery recommendations for Mr. Genovese citing
his American patriotism, intelligence and ingenuity in carrying
out his assigned duties for the U.S. espionage agencies.72

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt

Chapter IV

The Assassination Attempt on DeGaulle

A group of Fascist French generals dedicated to keeping
Algeria as a French colony were the middle group in the 1961 and
1962 assassination attempts on French General DeGaulle.
A French colonel, Bastien Thiery, commanded the 1962 group
of professional assassins who made the actual assassination
attempt on DeGaulle. Colonel Thiery set his group of assassins up
at an intersection in the suburbs of Paris in this final attempt
in 1962 to kill DeGaulle. The gunmen fired more than one hundred
rounds in the 1962 Colonel Thiery assassination attempt. But
General DeGaulle, traveling in his bullet proof car, evaded being
hit, although all of the tires were shot out. The driver
increased his speed and the General was saved.
Colonel Bastien Thiery was arrested, tried and executed for
the attempt on DeGaulle's life but he was the breaking point
between the operating level of that assassination attempt and the
people financing and planning it and he went to his death without
revealing the connection. General DeGaulle's intelligence,
however traced the financing of his attempted assassination into
the FBI's Permindex in Switzerland and Centro Mondiale Comerciale
in Rome, and he complained to both the governments of Switzerland
and Italy causing Permindex to lose its charter and Centro
Mondiale Comerciale to be forced to move to Johannesburg, South
Africa.
General DeGaulle was furious at the assassination plots and
attempted assassination upon himself. He called in his most
trusted officers with the French Intelligence Agency and they
advised him that they were already working on the investigation
to ferret out who was behind DeGaulle's attempted assassination.
The French Intelligence Agency in a very short while
completely traced the assassination attempt through Permindex,
the Swiss corporation, to the Solidarists, the Fascist White
Russian emigre intelligence organization and Division Five, the
espionage section of the FBI, into the headquarters of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization in Brussels, Belgium.
French intelligence thus determined that the attempts on
General DeGaulle's life were being directed from NATO in Brussels
through its various intelligence organizations and specifically,
Permindex in Switzerland, basically a NATO intelligence front
using the remnants of Adolph Hitler's intelligence units in West
Germany and also, the intelligence unit of the Solidarists
headquartered in Munich, Germany. The overall command of the
DeGaulle assassination unit was directed by Division Five of the
FBI.
Upon learning that the intelligence groups controlled by the
Division Five of the FBI in the headquarters of the NATO
organization had planned all of the attempts of his life,
DeGaulle was inflamed and ordered all NATO units off of French
soils. Under the contract between France and NATO, General
DeGaulle could not force them to move for a period of time
somewhat exceeding one year; yet, he told NATO to get off the
soil of France and put the machinery in operation to remove them
within the treaty agreements with the organization.
The Defense Intelligence Agency, the intelligence arm of all
armed forces in the United States and Division Five, the counter-
espionage agency for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were
both found to have been the controlling agencies in NATO
directing the assassination attempts on DeGaulle's life. DIA and
Division Five of the FBI were working hand in glove with the
White Russian emigre intelligence arm, the Solidarists, and many
of the Western European intelligence agencies were not aware of
the assassination plan worked directly through NATO headquarters.
Even the high echelons of the United States CIA were not aware of
the DIA, FBI and Solidarist directed activities.
Jerry Milton Brooks, a close associate of Maurice Brooks
Gatlin, Sr., testified in New Orleans that Gatlin was a
transporter for the CIA and Division Five of the FBI. Gatlin in
1962 left New Orleans of behalf of Permindex with $100,000.00 in
cash of the FBI's money and delivered the cash on behalf of
Division Five and Permindex to the group of Fascist French
generals planning the assassination of General DeGaulle. Gatlin
flew from New Orleans directly to Paris, France and made the
delivery.73
Gatlin was the general counsel to the Anti-Communist League
of the Caribbean, and he worked directly under Guy Bannister. In
1964 Gatlin was thrown, pushed, or fell from the sixth floor of
the El Panama Hotel in Panama during the middle of the night and
was killed instantly.
Guy Bannister had been in charge of the midwestern FBI
Division Five operation with headquarters in Chicago up until
1955. At this time, J. Edgar Hoover shifted Bannister from an
official basis with Division Five to a retainer and contractual
basis with the espionage section of the agency and moved him to
New Orleans where Bannister worked with the New Orleans police
department and later from a private office at 544 Camp Street.
In his contractual capacity with Division Five, Bannister
had close contacts with all of the armed service intelligence
agencies and worked closely with them on the espionage section of
the FBI's various projects. Bannister was the officer in charge
who dispatched Gatlin with the $100,000.00 cash to Paris for the
DeGaulle assassination group.74
We outline the DeGaulle assassination attempt with President
Kennedy's assassination because the same organization carried out
both operations.
Chapter V

In 1961, European and U.S. Publications Revealed the Defense
Intelligence Agency's Support of the Revolting French Generals

Before the attempted assassination on DeGaulle by Thiery of
Permindex and even before Maurice Gatlin, the New Orleans
business associate of Guy Bannister, had acted as courier of
assassination funds for Permindex between New Orleans and Europe,
a large hassle had developed publicly over the Pentagon and the
Defense Intelligence Agency acting in concert with the revolting
French generals in Algeria. These were the same French generals
who were working with the Defense Intelligence Agency and
Division Five of the FBI through Permindex, Centro Mondiale
Comerciale (World Trade Center) and Italo American Hotel
Corporation in the attempted assassination of DeGaulle in March
of 1962. At the time these facts were put into general
circulation, neither Permindex, Centro Mondiale Comerciale (World
Trade Center) nor Italo American Hotel Corporation had been
brought to public light, although we now know their operations,
connections and purposes.
The story was considered important enough in May, 1961, to
be the subject of the lead editorial in Le Monde, the most
respected and influential newspaper in France:

It now seems established that some American agents more
or less encouraged Maurice Challe, whose experience in NATO
should have put him on guard against the dealings of these
irresponsible people and their Spanish and German
colleagues. Kennedy obviously had nothing to do with this
affair. To make this plain he considered it necessary to
offer aid to General DeGaulle, well-intentioned certainly
but inopportune.

Columnist Marquis Childs noted that some people at the top
were aware of the Defense Intelligence Agency's involvement.
Childs wrote:

As one of the highest officials of France put it: "Of
course your government, neither your State Department nor
your President, had anything to do with this. But when you
have so many hundreds of agents in every part of the world
it is not to be wondered at that some of them should have
got in touch with the generals in Algiers."

And l'Express devoted two full pages to Challe and the DIA
in a report the content of which obviously bore the imprint of
high officialdom. Among other things, l'Express affirmed that:

Knowing the sobriety, the prudence and the ambition of
General Challe, all of his close friends are convinced today
that he was encouraged by his companions (at NATO). In the
course of the final conversations which he had in Paris
certain American agents have told him "succeed quickly - in
less than forty-eight hours - in a technical coup d'etat and
we will support you."

When the first stories of DIA and NATO involvement in the
revolt were being published on April 22, 1961, some of them were
launched cautiously "by officials at the Elysee Palace itself"
according to Crosby S. Noyes in the Washington Star.

At least a half dozen foreign newsmen were given
privately to understand that the generals' plot was backed
by strongly anti-Communist elements in the United States
Government and military services. The leader of the revolt,
General Maurice Challe, was reported to have received
assurances that any move to keep Algeria under permanent
French domination and out of Algerian hands would be in the
interests of the United States. There also was a strong
implication that a change in the NATO policies of General
DeGaulle would be welcome as one of the results of a
successful coup d'etat.

Paul Ghali of the Chicago Daily News reported that:

French army circles in the French capital made it known
that they had 'irrefutable' documents proving that Pentagon
agents in Paris and Algiers promised General Challe full U.
S. support if the coup succeeded. Simultaneously, the Polish
Ambassador in Paris, Stanislaw Gajewski, volunteered the
same information with even more precision to colleagues and
social acquaintances.

Said Il Paese in Rome:

It is not by chance that some people in Paris are
accusing the American secret service headed by Allen Dulles
of having participated in the plot of the four 'ultra'
generals . . . Franco, Salazar, Allen Dulles are the figures
who hide themselves behind the pronunciamentos of the
'ultras'; they are the pillars of an international
conspiracy that, basing itself on the Iberian dictatorships,
on the residue of the most fierce and blind colonialism, on
the intrigues of the CIA . . . reacts furiously to the
advance of progress and democracy. . . .

Pravda reported that:

Taking part in the war against the Algerian people is
not only the France of the arms manufacturers.. The war in
Algeria is a war of NATO. This was openly and cynically
stated by American General Norstad, Commander in Chief of
the Armed Forces of the Atlantic Bloc. U.S. reactionary
quarters are helping the French colonialists. . . . The
traces of the plotters lead to Madrid and Lisbon, these
hotbeds of fascism preserved intact with the money of
American reactionaries and with direct assistance of top
NATO circles. The traces from Spain and Portugal lead across
the ocean to the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence
Agency of the U.S. . . .

A version with a new twist appeared in a non-Communist Paris
newspaper. It was written by Genevieve Tabouis. Madame Tabouis
assured her readers that "the fact that the effort of Challes was
encouraged, if not supported, by the most Atlantic of American
services, is from now on a secret everyone knows.
About this time, General James M. Gavin, United States
Ambassador to France, attended a luncheon of the French American
Press Association. Also on hand was Pierre Baraduc.
Ambassador Gavin stood up to answer questions from the
guests. One of the guests was Sam White, an Australian and Paris
correspondent for the irreverent London Evening Standard. White,
a man of blunt and simple Anglo-Saxon words, handed Ambassador
Gavin a bombshell of a question: "Now that the story that the
Pentagon played a part in the Algerian mutiny has received the
blessing of the Quai d'Orsey, what steps does the American
Ambassador propose to take to kill it?"
By this time, the Defense Intelligence Agency, Division Five
of the FBI and the NATO generals' involvement with the French
Algerian generals was so well established that General Gavin
declined to make any form of denial.
Digressing somewhat but expanding further, it is desirable
to document further the connection between the Defense
Intelligence Agency, Division Five of the FBI, the Defense
Industrial Security Command, the members of the Kennedy
assassination cabal, it's employees and their common, connecting
links and objectives.
The Defense Industrial Security Command is a direct
subsidiary of the Defense Intelligence Agency under the command
of Lt. Gen. Joseph Carroll, who was a long time friend of Hoover
and former Assistant Director of the FBI. The Defense Industrial
Security Command was in operation before the Defense Intelligence
Agency was formed in early 1961. However, before that time, it
had worked with the separate armed forces intelligence agencies
which were all brought together under General Carroll.
The DISC was a police, security, investigative, intelligence
and employee clearance arm of the sprawling military industrial
complex consisting of the Atomic Energy Commission, NASA, the
munitions makers and suppliers of the Army, Air Force, Navy and
Marine Corps and the employees of all of those agencies and those
companies who held contracts with them.
It is not in the least surprising that the syndicate and the
Mafia worked well into the Defense Industrial Security Command
because of their members' ownership in many of the huge
corporations manufacturing munitions and supplies for the
Pentagon, Atomic Energy Commission and NASA.
Henry Crown's and Patrick Hoy's ownership of the controlling
block in General Dynamics between 1960 and 1966 is well known by
the few who bother to keep up with such things. Henry Crown's
close association with the Chicago Mafia figures has been well
documented in Captive City by Demaris.
Joe Bonanno's (the New York, Tucson and Montreal Mafia head)
connection with the munition manufacturing corporation, Lionel,
is also well known. Roy Cohn of Lionel, Ed Levinson, Clifford
Jones and Cleveland mobster, Morris Dalitz, and their business
connections are also totally established.
Joe Bonanno keeps his personal lawyer on retainer (and has
for years) in order to handle the intricate high financial legal
moves in connection with his ownership of munitions, aerospace
and other corporations registered on Wall Street. Bonanno's
attorney is William Power Maloney who is also General Counsel for
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the regulatory agency
over the stock exchanges with headquarters in New York City. And,
J. Edgar Hoover until 1959 vehemently denied that the Mafia even
existed. He said there was no such organization as the Mafia.
The Nazi rocket scientists are on management level also in
the munitions and aerospace industry. Walter Dornberger, the Nazi
general, left the space agency in the 1950's to become a high
official in Bell Aerospace Corporation and he was followed by
over thirty of the Nazi scientists to control level in the
corporations manufacturing munitions and aerospace material. This
still left well over sixty of the scientists at command level in
NASA.75
The Nazis, Mafia and gambling syndicate members were all
brought together under the large umbrella of the Defense
Industrial Security Command and even the larger joint umbrella of
the Defense Intelligence Agency and Division Five of the FBI. Of
course, General Joseph Carroll of DIA could not possibly
participate in any venture without the approval of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff sitting over him in the Pentagon.
The host of munitions and aerospace manufacturing companies
with Mafia Members in the leadership positions began to surface
during the 1960's and one of such connections surfaced as is
shown in the Associated Press Dispatch of October 28,1969, which
reads as follows:

A Pennsylvania manufacturing firm linked to the Mafia
by a Senate subcommittee has won millions of dollars in
defense contracts from the Pentagon.
Medico Industries Inc. of Pittston, Pa., currently is
working on a $4 million contract to produce parts for rocket
warheads used extensively in Vietnam.
Since 1966, the firm has received about $12 million in
Army, Navy, and Air Force contracts. Pentagon records
indicate it has performed well on all its defense work.
Medico Industries' present contracts do not involve
classified material. However, a Pentagon spokesman said the
firm and its principal officers had a security clearance
from Jan. 28, 1968 to June 20, 1968. It was terminated at
the company's request - a request which Pentagon sources
said came after security officials asked for additional
information about its officers.
The company's name has cropped up in the organized
crime investigations of a Senate subcommittee headed by Sen.
John L. McClellan, D Ark.
In 1964, McClellan's subcommittee listed Medico
Electric Motor Co., later to become known as Medico
Industries, as a principal hangout of Russell A. Bufalino,
whom it described as "one of the most ruthless and powerful
leaders of the Mafia in the United States."
William Medico, former president and now general
manager of Medico Industries, was listed in the same report
as among the "criminal associates" of Bufalino.
James A. Osticco, the firm's traffic manager, was
present in 1957 when New York State Police broke up the
Apalachin Conference - a meeting of top Mafia figures from
throughout the United States. The participants also included
Bufalino and Vito Genevese, once described as "king of the
rackets."
Bufalino has been battling deportation since 1952.
According to the McClellan committee's 1964 report, the
Sicilian-born Mafia leader has been active in narcotics
trafficking, labor racketeering, and dealing in stolen
jewels and furs. Last year, Bufalino was charged with
transporting stolen television sets across state lines.
Investigators say Bufalino and Medico have been friends
since Bufalino moved to Pittston from Buffalo, N.Y. in 1938.
A confidential report in the files of state and federal
law enforcement officials refers to a company listed in the
Senate report as being owned by Bufalino and says: "One of
the silent partners in this enterprise is said to be William
Medico . . . who is believed to have money invested in a
number of places where the subject (Bufalino) acts as front
man."
In a telephone interview, Medico said he has no
business interests with Bufalino. He said he has known
Bufalino all his life.
As for the McClellan committee report that Bufalino
frequents the Medico plant, Medico said, "Sure he comes to
see us. We're selling his equipment; he's a customer. I
can't tell him to get the hell out."
The firm's record of getting government contracts goes
back to the 1950's. It has produced such items as
maintenance platforms for the Air Force and Navy, rebuilt
generators for the Signal Corps, rebuilt machine tools and
hydraulic wing jacks for the Army, Navy and Air Force. It
also has had contracts from the cities of New York and
Detroit.
In 1963 it competed with eight other firms to take over
management of a government-owned ammunition plant in
Scranton, Pa., but lost out to a lower bidder.
In 1968 Medico Industries was one of the 166 companies
from which the Army sought bids to produce parts for 2.75-
inch rocket warheads. Ten firms, including Medico, responded
and six got contracts. Medico was not among them.
But in the summer of 1968, the Army announced it needed
still more warheads to fill Vietnam requirements. The four
unsuccessful bidders on the earlier round were invited to
bid again. All four, including Medico, got contracts. The
Medico contract, awarded September 19, 1968, called for
supply of 510,000 parts for $3,090,600.
Then, in December 1968, Medico was among the producers
invited to submit proposals for shifting to production of a
different and costlier type 2.75-inch warhead. The firm
received a contract on Dec. 31 to supply 380,000 parts at a
cost of $4,012,800. That contract is still in effect.
Under Defense Department regulations, a company can not
be cleared for work on classified projects until its key
personnel are given a National Agency check. This includes a
search of FBI name and fingerprint files.
If any derogatory information is found, it is up to the
Defense Industrial Security Command at Columbus, Ohio, to
determine if it is serious enough to warrant further
investigation. If such a determination is made the case is
referred to a higher level for review. No such reference was
made when Medico's application was processed.
In addition to security checks, all prospective defense
contractors also undergo a pre-award review to determine
their ability to produce. The personal background of company
officials is not a factor in such reviews.
Medico Industries' success in obtaining government
contracts has helped it expand from a small electrical
company housed in a former mule barn to a large modern plant
on the outskirts of Pittston. With a work force of about 400
during peak contract periods, the firm is one of the largest
employers in the coal mining area.
William Medico and his four brothers, all officers in
the family firm, are often in the news as participants in
civic affairs, charity drives and occasionally politics, in
the city of 13,000 midway between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.

To return momentarily to some of the employees of the DIA
and DISC involved in the DeGaulle assassination attempt, it needs
to be pointed out that Jerry Brooks and a number of other
witnesses confirmed to District Attorney Jim Garrison that
Maurice Gatlin had carried funds to Europe to finance the
DeGaulle assassination attempt. It was also confirmed that Jack
Ruby was a close associate of Maurice Gatlin and that Gatlin,
Robert Ray McKeown of Baycliff, Texas, (adjacent to the Houston
NASA headquarters), and Jack Ruby were all very closely
associated over a period of at least ten years. As a matter of
fact, Jerry Brooks told Garrison that Gatlin was the one who
called Jack Ruby and Robert Ray McKeown in and ordered them to
drop their plans to ship surplus army jeeps to Fidel Castro in
the spring of 1959.
Ruby, of course, was also very closely connected with L.J.
McWillie of Havana and Las Vegas, the business partner of
Clifford Jones, Ed. Levinson, Morris Dalitz, Bobby Baker and Roy
Cohn. When questioned by the Warren Commission, Jack Ruby had
this to say about L.J. McWillie:

Mr. Ruby: . . . As a matter of fact, on the plane, if
I recall, I had an article he sent me, and I wanted to get
it published because I idolized McWillie. . . .
Mr. Ruby: A fellow whom I sort of idolized is of the
Catholic faith, and a gambler. Naturally in my business you
meet people of various backgrounds. And the thought came, we
were very close, and I always thought a lot of him, and I
knew that Kennedy, being Catholic, I knew how heartbroken he
was, and even his picture - of this Mr. McWillie - flashed
across me, because I have a great fondness for him.76

Also buried deep in the twenty-six volumes of the Warren
Commission report are the following statements which, of course,
show that Ruby had contact with McWillie, Jones, Dalitz of the
Stardust Motel and others in Las Vegas about two and one half
weeks before the assassination time.

GILBERT COSKEY, Casino Cashier, Stardust Hotel, advised
that about four weeks ago an individual from Dallas, Texas,
believed by the name RUBY approached the casino credit
department and attempted to have a check cashed. COSKEY
recalled that the man talked about owning the Vegas Club and
another night club in Dallas. COSKEY stated he took the
check to JOHN TIHISTA, Credit Manager, for approval
informing TIHISTA that the customer reportedly was from
Dallas and owned night clubs in that city. COSKEY stated
that if he recalls correctly TIHISTA refused to cash this
check since the customer had no previous credit with the
hotel. He could recall nothing more concerning this
incident, but after seeing a photo of RUBY in the paper and
reading about his background, he was certain that RUBY and
the person attempting to cash a check at the Stardust were
one and the same.77
JOHN TIHISTA, Credit Manager, Stardust Hotel, advised
that about one month ago GILBERT COSKEY, Cashier in the
hotel casino cage, came to TIHISTA with a check from a
customer to determine whether or not it should be cashed.
According to COSKEY, the customer wanting to cash the check
had no previous credit; however, COSKEY stated that the man
was from Dallas and owned a night club in that city. He
believed COSKEY had stated the man's name was RUBY. TIHISTA
stated that apparently this incident occurred on a weekend
since they were unable to contact the customer's bank, and
therefore, did not accept the check.
TIHISTA reviewed hotel registration recorded for the
months of September, October, and November (1963) but could
not locate a registration for the name RUBY or RUBENSTEIN.
TIHISTA stated there was no credit application for the
name RUBY or RUBENSTEIN at the Stardust.78
JOSEPH STEFAN, Caddymaster, Tropicana Golf Club . . . .
advised that when the news of RUBY'S killing of .I.OSWALD;
first appeared on television, he had the impression that at
one time RUBY might have played golf at that course, since
he is sure that at some time during the past year, a player
from Texas, had given him a card from the Carousel Club in
Dallas and told him to look him up if he ever got to Dallas.
. . .79

Ruby was simply being guided and advised by his superiors in
the gambling syndicate and Mafia section within the Defense
Industrial Security Command.
DISC also has within its group the secondary command level
of the U.S. Information Agency whose duties are propaganda. Fred
Korth, in addition to his close connection with Nazi Walter
Dornberger as fellow board member on Bell Aerospace Corporation,
has been active Director of U.S.I.A. and its subsidiary, Radio
Free Europe.
In any event, one may well rest assured that in the fall of
1969 and 1970, the Defense Industrial Security Command was
continuing its activities on East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio
and at the George Marshall Space Center and Old Redstone Arsenal
along the Tennessee River in Northern Alabama.
When F. Lee Bailey was called to represent Captain Ernest L.
Medina in December of 1969, he was employed by DISC and he had
never seen Medina until both were flown to Columbus, Ohio. After
being together in Columbus a few days and after a number of
propaganda stories were ground out from there, Medina and Bailey
were flown to the Pentagon where they met the national press.
After Ross Perot had flown around the world with food for
North Vietnam prisoners of war as a propaganda venture, he flew
to Columbus, Ohio where new and effective news releases were
issued after several days there in January, 1970. The Columbus
group had earlier secured lawyers for James Earl Ray, Sirhan
Sirhan and others.
The Defense Industrial Security Command, the police agency
of the munitions manufacturers successors to the German cartels,
has many and varied functions.
Chapter VI

Permindex and Double-Chek Agents and their Activities

Double-Chek, a Florida corporation organized and operated by
the CIA and the American counterpart of Permindex and Centro
Mondiale Comerciale, was taken over by Division Five of the FBI
and was used as one of the principal funding agencies for
President Kennedy's death planners. Another was the Tolstoy
Foundation, the Russian Solidarist funding source with its
principal offices in New York City and Munich in Germany, and the
Kentfield Fund in Dallas.80
The Solidarist world network is connected through the old
Orthodox Catholic Church of North America and Synod of Bishops of
the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia which church connected
organization used one of its priests, David Ferrie, in New
Orleans as an agent in the planning of the Kennedy assassination.
Ferrie became a priest and agent for the Solidarists when he
dropped out of the Roman Catholic Seminary in Ohio and joined the
Byelorussian Liberation Front at 3308 West 43rd Street,
Cleveland, Ohio in 1946.81
Donald P. Norton told Jim Garrison he was impressed into the
agency's service in 1957 under threat of exposure as a
homosexual. In September, 1962, Norton was dispatched from
Atlanta to Mexico with $30,000 for an anti-Castro group. He said
he registered in the Yamajel Hotel in Monterrey, Mexico, per
instructions, when he was contacted by one Harvey Lee, an exact
duplicate of Oswald except that his hair seemed slightly thicker.82
In exchange for the money, Lee gave him a briefcase
containing documents in manila envelopes. According to plan,
Norton delivered the briefcase to an employee of an American oil
firm in Calgary, Alberta, who repeated the pass phrase, "The
weather is very warm in Tulsa."83 Breck Wall and Joe Patterson
were in close contact with a person who called himself Archison,
and Jack Wohl from Calgary.
Norton also told of how he met David Ferrie earlier in his
career. In early 1958, he was assigned a courier trip to Cuba and
told to meet his contact at the Eastern Air Lines counter at the
Atlanta airport. The contact was a man who called himself Hugh
Ferrie. "Here are your samples," Ferrie remarked, handing Norton
a phonograph record. "It is in the jacket." The jacket contained
$150,000.00, which Norton duly delivered to a Cuban television
performer in Havana. Norton asserts he went to Freeport, Grand
Bahama, on an Agency assignment late in 1966, and upon his return
to Miami, his contact instructed that "something was happening in
New Orleans and that Norton should take a long, quiet vacation."84
He did, and began to worry about the "people who have died
in recent months--like Ferrie." Then he contacted Garrison.
Norton was given a lie detector test, the result of which was
that he was telling the truth.85
Jules Rocco Kimble said that on the day after David Ferrie
died, he drove a top KKK official, Jack Helm, to Ferrie's
apartment. Helm came out with a satchel of papers which he placed
in a bank safe deposit box. Kimble said that in 1962, he had
flown to Montreal, Canada with Ferrie on business. He promised
the District Attorney's investigators that he would gather more
information and report back to them.86
Shortly afterward, he phoned his wife from Atlanta, saying
he had met an Intelligence contact. "They'll never get me back to
New Orleans," he said. A few days after that, he called from
Montreal, Canada. Kimble came back to Tampa, Florida, where he
was arrested by the city police. Interviewed by Garrison;'s men,
he said that he had once worked special assignments for U.S.
intelligence agencies, and in verification named his Agency
contacts and the box number at the Layafette Street station they
assigned him.87
He averred he had recontacted the Intelligence agency after
Walter Sheridan had counseled him to say nothing to the District
Attorney and go to Montreal where he named some contacts.
Sheridan was the liaison man with Bobby Kennedy for Joe Carroll
of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Sheridan was subsequently
indicted by a New Orleans grand jury for public bribery for
attempting to induce witnesses to make false statements against
Garrison.88
David Ferrie was in Dallas, Texas on the night of November
24, 1963. Ferrie talked to Bob Mulholland, an NBC news man from
the Chicago office, in Dallas the night of the 24th and admitted
that he was connected with Jack Ruby's Carousel Club. Ferrie even
knew the emcee at the club and spoke freely exhibiting a
friendship with Jack Ruby and a knowledge of an number of Jack
Ruby's associates in Dallas.89
We shall return to Ruby, Ferrie and their activities, but
now is as good a time as any to add one more piece of evidence to
the mountain of such inculpating the Defense Industrial Security
Command.
Gary Underhill, a CIA agent with Walter Kostow and Harold R.
Isaacs at the Center for International Studies at MIT, told
friends in early 1964 in New York that a group within the U.S.
Intelligence agencies had planned and brought about the death of
John Kennedy and that he was going to expose them. A few days
later he was found dead in his apartment in Washington, D.C., a
bullet in his head behind his left ear - but Underhill was right
handed.
Harold R. Isaacs, ex-Newsweek Magazine editor, was the
subject of a suppressed Warren Commission document.
David Ferrie, Maurice Brooks Gatlin, Guy Bannister and Mike
McLaney of New Orleans, Robert Ray McKeown of Houston, Jack Ruby
of Dallas and L.J. McWillie of Las Vegas began a partnership in
1953 with Carlos Prio Socarras, Cuba's President from 1948 to
1952, before Batista. Prio and his group were working well with
Batista in operating all of the Cuban gambling houses until about
1957 when Batista began to shake Prio's group down for more than
they felt was reasonable.90
Ex-President Prio, Ruby, McWillie, McKeown and the gambling
partnership in 1957 contacted Castro who was then in the
mountains and secretly began supporting him on Castro's promise
of a more reasonable government tax on the gambling profits.
Prio's partner, Jack Ruby, spent a good part of 1958 directing
the smuggling of arms to Cuba from the Keys in Florida with James
Woodard, an ex-Dallas policeman.91 The arms, ammunitions and
supplies were furnished until the Castro takeover of Cuba in
January, 1959. As had been promised, Prio, McWillie, Ruby,
McKeown and the other partners continued to run the Havana
gambling casinos until 1961 when Castro evicted McWillie, the
last one to leave.92
McKeown, McWillie, Ruby, Prio, McLaney, Gatlin, Bannister
and Ferrie immediately began working with other anti-Castro
exiles, Division Five of the FBI and the CIA to overthrow Castro.93
After the Bay of Pigs disaster, the Prio-Ruby group under
Bannister's direction continued to work with the Cuban exiles
toward an invasion of the Cuban mainland. Bannister, as a free
agent. worked with Warren DeBrueys, Division Five of the FBI's
resident agent in New Orleans. DeBrueys was also a White Russian
and a member of the Solidarists.
DeBrueys' chief assignment in the summer and fall of 1963
was to maintain a close vigil over Lee Harvey Oswald in New
Orleans and Dallas. This he did, and after Oswald's death,
DeBrueys gathered all of Oswald's personal belongings and carried
them to J. Edgar Hoover in Washington, D.C.94
On November 22, before it was known that Kennedy was dead,
Warren Debrueys walked into Parkland Hospital and tried to force
his way into the room where President Kennedy was being attended.
Two Secret Service agents had a terrible fight with DeBrueys,
before he was subdued in the room just outside of Kennedy's. He
was held down by Secret Service agents until help arrived.95
L.J. McWillie, one of Jack Ruby's partners in the ex-
President Prio-Bannister-Ruby group, was a conservative dressing,
highly polished, international socialite who traveled with the
professional golfers in the U.S., Britain and Western Europe.
McWillie entered the partnership with Clifford Jones and Bobby
Baker in the Thunderbird gambling casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in
1962. The Dallas and Oklahoma City police who knew McWillie
thoroughly had him officially designated as a "murderer and
gambler" on his many-page arrest records.96 As all people of this
sort do, McWillie used a number of aliases. Some of these were
Lewis J. Martin, L.J. Chapman, Lewis Olney and others.97
Robert Ray McKeown of Baycliff, Texas, near Houston, another
of Ruby's partners in the President Prio-Bannister association,
also had a many-paged criminal record. McKeown's aliases included
J.T. Brown, H.J. McAllister, Max, Dick McKeown and others.98 Jerry
Brooks further confirmed the close relation between McKeown,
David Ferrie, L.J. McWillie and Ruby when he reported Maurice
Gatlin put a stop to their plan to sell jeeps to Castro in 1959.
Lee Harvey Oswald was recruited into Division Five of the
FBI by David Ferrie in 1956 before joining the USMC.99
Oswald was taken to Memphis, Tennessee, by Division Five of
the FBI while in the Marine Corps. There he received the highest
level of covert espionage activities training during June, July
and August of 1957 at the Naval Intelligence school located on
the Memphis Naval Base. The school is of such a highly secret
nature that Oswald's official Marine Corps records were doctored
so as not to reflect his training there.100
Lee Harvey Oswald was paid by J. Edgar Hoover through a
subterfuge account with the Department of Immigration and
Naturalization, a Division of the Justice Department, and
consequently, he could testify before the Warren Commission
without being technically guilty of perjury that Oswald was not
on the FBI payroll. Fred Cook in The FBI Nobody Knows reveals
this device which Hoover uses in paying covert agents through the
Department of Immigration and Naturalization. Oswald's pay slip
number, which was revealed by the Dallas Sheriff's office, was
the number assigned him out of the San Antonio office of the
Department. Oswald was paid at the Dallas office of the
Immigration Department and their address in the Rio Grande
Building was found in Oswald's notebook.
Oswald was tutored by the Solidarists on the Russian
language and his duties as an FBI espionage agent. The Russian
newspapers and literature which Oswald received were of
Solidarist origin. Just prior to going to Russia in 1959, Oswald
received a Solidarist agent in a long visit at Santa Ana,
California. In 1959 Oswald admitted his connections were "White
Russians".101
The agent came from the San Francisco office of the
Solidarists. The San Francisco office went under the cover name
"Federation of Russian Charitable Organizations," 376 Twentieth
Avenue.102 Oswald had always been a Solidarist and Division Five of
the FBI agent. He had never been employed by the CIA.103
Dallas Chief Deputy Allan Sweatt said in a Secret Service
document that Oswald was being paid $200.00 per month by the FBI
and he even furnished Oswald's informant number, S-172.104 Dallas
District Attorney, Henry Wade, and Texas Attorney General,
Waggoner Carr, in a secret meeting with the Commission on January
24, 1964, gave absolute confirmation of this.
George DeMohrenschildt with his long years of experience in
intelligence roles, testified to facts connecting Lee Harvey
Oswald and Max Clark and his wife, Gali, to Division Five of the
FBI and the Defense Industrial Security Command through the Henry
Crown, Patrick Hoy dominated General Dynamics. He further
revealed the name of the Division Five agent in charge in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area. Here is what DeMohrenschildt said:

Mr. DeMohrenschildt: . . . . . . . in my mind Max Clark
was in some way connected with the FBI, because he was chief
of security at Convair (General Dynamics) he had been a
chief of security. And either George Bouhe or someone else
told me that he is with the FBI to some extent. . . .
Mr. Jenner: Who is Walter Moore?
Mr. DeMohrenschildt: Walter Moore is the man who
interviewed me on behalf of the Government after I came back
from Yugoslavia - G. Walter Moore. He is a Government man -
FBI . . . A very nice fellow, exceedingly intelligent who
is, as far as I know - was some sort of an FBI man in
Dallas. Many people consider him head of FBI in Dallas. . .
.

It should be pointed out here that Albert Jenner, one of the
top lawyers on the Warren Commission staff, had been the personal
and corporate lawyer for Henry Crown, Mafia-connected head of
General Dynamics for a long number of years. Both live in
Chicago.105
Gali Clark is a White Russian who was born of royal blood in
exile in France. She was Princess Sherbatov. She and her husband,
Max, both Solidarists and close friends of John Connally, were
the first Defense Industrial Security Command contacts with Lee
and Marina Oswald when they got back from Russia in 1962. They
visited in each others homes and were closely connected until
after the assassination.
The Director of Security at General Dynamics, Max Clark and
his wife were also members of the Tryall Compound in Jamaica.

publishing law, in the UK at least, allows for quotes from a book, but
usually for purposes of analysis (e.g. book reviews). i could check out
more but so long as one does not try to produce another publication
based extensively on another's, one should be safe.

Can't speak for the law in the UK but here in the states you can only
use a small part and it must include some commentary in order to pass
the fair use execption to the copyright law. Whole verbatim copying of
articles like Chive does on a regular bases is not protected fair use.
It is a violation of copyright.

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt
Chapter VII

Albert Osborne, Missionary for the A.C.C.C. and the Cabal

The actual assassination was done by a team of highly
trained professional assassins from Mexico. These men blended in
well with some of the anti-Castro Cubans under the direction of
the Free Cuba Committee with members in Mexico City, Dallas, New
Orleans, Montreal, Miami, Chicago, Kansas City and Los Angeles.106
The highly trained expert professional riflemen from Mexico
were selected from twenty-five or thirty of the most proficient
firing experts in the world. The group of twenty-five to thirty
professional executioners have been based in Mexico and have been
used by espionage agencies of the U.S. and various countries all
over the world for political killings for the past twenty-five
years.
The Free Cuba Committee, anti-Communist Russian Solidarists,
A.C.C.C. and Division Five of the FBI obtained the team of
world's best Mexican riflemen through the offices of Double-Chek
Corporation, an American based subsidiary of Permindex, the FBI
and CIA funded Swiss corporation, and Centro Mondiale Comerciale,
also known as World Trade Center Corporation, another FBI and CIA
funded corporation which moved from Rome to Johannesburg, South
Africa in 1962. Both of these corporations had been used by J.
Edgar Hoover to fund the 1961 and 1962 assassination attempts on
General DeGaulle.
The existence of the espionage section of the FBI's nest of
professional assassins in Mexico began under the supervision of
Albert Osborne in 1943. It was Hoover's brain child and he has
kept a close management on the unit of twenty-five to thirty
expert riflemen and continues to do so in 1969. He has allowed
the Defense Intelligence Agency to use these men but they remain
as his charges.107
In 1952 two of the professionals, Mario (El Turko) Sapet and
Alfredo Cervantes, took a private contract to assassinate Jake
Floyd, a District Judge in Alice, Texas, and a bitter enemy of
George Parr of Duval County. These men were allowed to take such
private employment but Division Five never knew anything
concerning such unauthorized killings.
At about dusk on September 8, 1952, Sapet and Cervantes
positioned themselves in a field adjacent to the rear of Floyd's
house and when Buddy Floyd, Jake's 19 year old son who resembled
his father, started out of the house to the garage, Cervantes
mistakenly shot Buddy through the head, killing him.
Cervantes, Sapet and Nago Alaniz, George Parr's personal
lawyer, were indicted for the assassination and for conspiracy to
murder. Sapet was caught before he could cross the Mexican border
and was given a 99 year sentence.
Cervantes crossed back into Mexico where he found his
Division Five assassination group and although Mexican
authorities arrested him, political pressure was brought to bear
and Alfredo has remained a free man in Mexico despite sixteen
years of constant effort to extradite him by Sam Burris, the
Alice District Attorney.
Burris and Bill Allcorn, Special Assistant Attorney General
of Texas, were unable to convict Nago Alaniz but one of the
conspirators gave Bill Allcorn pertinent information.
The accomplice told Allcorn that there were twenty-five to
thirty professional assassins kept in Mexico by the espionage
section of the U. S. Federal Bureau of Investigation; that these
men were used to commit political assassinations all over North,
South and Central America, the East European countries and in
Russia; that these men were the absolute world's most accurate
riflemen; they they sometimes took private contracts to kill in
the United States; that the contact man for employment of the
riflemen was a man named Bowen posing as an American Council of
Christian Churches' missionary in Mexico; that you could reach
Bowen through the owner of the St. Anthony's Hotel in Laredo,
Texas.
Albert Alexander Osborne, alias John Howard Bowen, alias
J.H. Owen, a charter member and employee of the A.C.C.C., met Lee
Harvey Oswald and accompanied him to Mexico City in late
September of 1963.
Osborne or Bowen in 1942 organized and operated a Nazi black
shirt group called the "Campfire Council" in the country near
Knoxville Tennessee. The "Campfire Council" was sponsored by the
espionage cover group, the "American Council of Christian
Churches". Osborne so vehemently opposed the United States war
with Nazi Germany that during 1942, he tore down an American flag
and stomped it into the ground. The neighbors complained of the
pro-Nazi activities of Bowen and his young Fascists even though
the rural area in Tennessee where they were located was very
sparsely populated.108
More than six witnesses on the bus trip from Laredo to
Mexico City placed Osborne with Lee Oswald in his company as a
definite traveling companion. The two stayed together during the
entire trip and sat together on the bus.109
On February 8, l964, Osborne was interviewed by the FBI and
lied to them about his name among other things. He gave them the
name John Howard Bowen and gave them the following statement:

Bowen advised that he has been in the Russellville, Alabama
area, speaking at various rural Baptist Churches, and has
been residing at the residence of Wylie Uptain, Rural Route,
Russellville, Alabama. He stated that he intended leaving
the Russellville, Alabama area, February 11, 1964, enroute
back to Lardo, Texas by way of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Bowen stated to the best of his knowledge he was born at
Chester, Pennsylvania on January 12, 1885, and his father's
name was James A. Bowen, and his mother was Emily Bowen. He
did not know his parents, but he was reared in an orphanage
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His grandmother, Sarah Hall,
participated to a limited extent in giving him guidance and
shelter during the early years of his life. His grandmother
and relatives are all deceased, and he has no known
relatives of any kind. . . . . . .

Bowen stated he considers himself an itinerant gardener and
preacher. He was formerly a member of the First Baptist
Church at Knoxville, Tennessee, and more recently was a
member of the First Baptist Church at Laredo, Texas. He has
visited and worshiped at the latter church intermittently
for the past twenty years. . . . . .

. . . . He considers his home to be the St. Anthony Hotel,
Laredo, Texas, and he is well known there by the manager,
Oscar Ferrina. He has been residing at the hotel
intermittently for the past twenty years, and has made trips
to Mexico for the past twenty years as an itinerant
preacher. . . . .110

On February 20, 1964, Osborne was interviewed by FBI agents
in Laredo, Texas and repeated the falsehoods told in the earlier
statement. Then on March 5, 1964, he told FBI agents at
Nashville, Tennessee the amazing story which follows. Please
remember that this is the man who was such a dedicated Nazi that
during World War II, he tore down the American flag and stomped
it into the ground in protest against the United States war with
Hitler's Nazi Germany. A part of the amazing statement follows:

Albert Osborne, whose permanent address is 920 Salinas, Box
308, Laredo, Texas, was interviewed at his temporary place
of residence at the Central YMCA, Nashville, Tennessee,
where is registered under the name of John H. Bowen. (Box
308 is the address of the St. Anthony Hotel in Laredo).

At the outset of the interview, Osborne denied his true
identity and claimed that his name was John H. Bowen;
however he later admitted that his correct name is Albert
Osborne and he furnished the following background
information concerning himself.

Osborne indicated that he was born November 12, 1888 at
Grimsby, England, to James Osborne and Emile Cole Osborne,
both of whom are deceased. He identified his brothers as
Walter Osborne, Grimsby, England;; Arthur Osborne, Grimsby,
England; William Osborne, deceased, and Frank Osborne,
deceased. . . . .

. . . .Osborne admitted that he had been untruthfull in
three previous interviews concerning his own identity and
had furnished false information concerning John H. Bowen,
whom he had previously indicated was an acquaintance for
whom he, Osborne, had been frequently mistaken.....

Osborne was advised that his photograph had been positively
identified by other English speaking people on the Red Arrow
Bus from Laredo, Texas to Mexico City on September 26, 27,
1963. Osborne again denied that he was on a bus with any
other English speaking people and that he himself spoke no
English to anyone on the bus.111

Osborne's associates said he had lived in Central Mexico
since about 1942. One close associate said Osborne had a mission
in Texmelucan, State of Pueblo, Mexico, and "his mission
consisted have no home or ties."112
Rev. Walter Laddie Hluchan of Eagle Pass, Texas, said,
"Osborne has for many years given religious instruction to
Mexican boys who resided at his residence."113
Oscar Ferrino, owner of the St. Anthony Hotel, Laredo,
Texas, said Osborne "is operating a school for approximately 25
to 30 boys" in Pueblo, Mexico. Ferrino has known and taken mail
and messages for Osborne since 1942.114
When not in Mexico supervising his "missionaries," Osborne
traveled regularly to Austin, Dallas and Tyler, Texas. In Dallas
he visited one Cortez and H.L. Hunt. Cortez was reported to be
one of the assassins in the 26 volumes published by the Warren
Commission.115 The same volumes connect a Saunders from Tyler Texas
in the plot with Cortez.
Albert Osborne was in Clay Shaw's office at 124 Camp Street,
New Orleans on October 10, 1963. Later the same day he was in the
office of Maurice Brooks Gatlin, the FBI transporter and Guy
Bannister, the FBI Section Five Southern Manager, at their office
at 544 Camp Street, New Orleans. From there, Osborne went
directly into Mexico City where on the 17th or 18th of September,
1963, he was seen by a Mexican detective with the man posing as
Oswald. A Cuban Negro delivered a large sum of money to the man
posing as Oswald as a partial payment for his part in the
assassination operation.116
Osborne, alias John Howard Bowen, was discovered to have
another person working with him who also used the alias John
Howard Bowen. The second person also travelling as Bowen was Fred
Lee Chrismon, another agent for the munitions makers police
agency, the Defense Industrial Security Command. Chrismon also
posed as a missionary and also used other aliases. Among the
cognomens for Chrismon were Fred Lee, Jon Gould and Jon Gold.
Osborne and Chrismon also bore a marked resemblance and
appeared to be about the same age. Chrismon was a Syrian
immigrant and had been closely associated with Osborne since the
1920's.
Chrismon, Osborne and their riflemen charges in Mexico were
based at Clint Murchison's huge ranch when not posing as
missionaries in other areas of Mexico.
Murchison and J. Edgar Hoover were closer than twin brothers
at Del Charro Hotel, adjacent to Murchison's horse race tracks at
La Jolla, California over the ten years preceding the 1963
murder. Hoover, fraudulently charged over $40,000.00 of his
personal bills at Del Charro to Del Hi-Taylor Oil Company, a
Murchison corporation.117
Penn Jones reports in Forgive My Grief, Vol III that Clint
Murchison, J Edgar Hoover, Paul Raigorodsky and other top members
of the Cabal, met at Clint Murchison's house in Dallas the night
of November 21, 1963 to go over the final plans for the murder.
But back to Del Charro and the race tracks in California.
From 1953 to 1963, J. Edgar Hoover and Clint Murchison met
constantly at Del Charro with Johnny Drew, John Connally, Joe
Bonanno, Carlos Marcello and other Mafia officers. As a matter of
fact, the Mafia was in partnership with Murchison, John Connally
and Hoover in Boys, Inc., the front organized to avoid paying
taxes in operating Del Mar horse race tracks.118 (Connally, as
governor of Texas in 1967, refused to extradite Sergio Arcacha
Smith to New Orleans and was thus carrying out his principal role
in the plan.)
Carlos Marcello, Mafia boss of Louisiana and Texas, worked
with his fellow Mafia commissioner, Joe Bonanno, in carrying out
the assassination. Bonanno and Marcello met at Del Charro and
other points to personally discuss and make decisions of middle
responsibility. David Ferrie was an employee of Carlos Marcello
before and after the assassination.
Carlos Marcello gave David Ferrie final instructions at
about 1:00 pm, November 22, 1963 at the New Orleans Federal Court
House. Marcello had just been discharged from a deportation order
issued by Bobby Kennedy. Ferrie, Alvin Beauboeuf and Melvin
Coffey immediately went to the Alamotel in Houston. The motel was
owned by Marcello and the Mafia.119
Beauboeuf and Ferrie made at least three phone calls from
the Texas gulf coast on November 22nd and 23rd to the Town House
Motel in New Orleans. The Town House is also owned by Marcello
and the mob.120
Bonanno, Marcello and the Mafia were all working directly
under the Defense Industrial Security Command through their
ownership of controlling interests in the large number of
companies engaged in manufacturing munitions, hardware and
suppliers for the Pentagon, Space Agency, A.E.C. and U.S.I.A.121
Jack Ruby was one of Marcello's men in Dallas for a number
of years. In June of 1963, Ruby spent about a week in New Orleans
conferring with Marcello and other members of DISC. The Warren
commission investigators uncovered the Ruby New Orleans trip and
revealed his constant visits to the Sho Bar in the French
Quarter. The Sho Bar was owned by Marcello and the Mafia.122
Jada Conforto, a stripper at the Sho Bar, was sent by
Marcello to Jack Ruby's place in Dallas about one month before
the assassination. Jada left Dallas on November 23, l963, but
returned after Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald.123
Joe Bonanno and Carlos Marcello were both on the ruling
commission of the Mafia and were in constant business contact.
They were very close friends as well. However, their actions
covered here were in relationship to their connection with the
Defense Industrial Security Command.
Joining Hoover, Carroll, Murchison, the Chiefs of Staff and
the Mafioso, along with others, on the ruling committee of DISC,
was the Nazi, Wernher Von Braun, in his capacity as head of Army
Ordnance and Intelligence in rocketry and later as Chief of the
space agency. John Connally had served with the ruling group of
the munition makers police agency during his term as Secretary of
the Navy ending in 1962. As Secretary of the Navy, Connally had
been over the Office of Naval Intelligence.
If one feels the need for further proof of Carlos Marcello
and Joe Bonanno's close association with the assassination group,
it is a simple matter to trace their membership in the
international Mafia to the Swiss corporation, Permindex, and
Rome's Centro Mondiale Comerciale and its Italian Mafia director,
Gutierez di Spadafora. Spadafora, Marcello and Bonanno were long
time associates as ruling members of the international Mafia.
Through Permindex and Centro Mondiale Comerciale and its
functions, Marcello and Bonanno are easily connected with Clay
Shaw, J. Edgar Hoover, the DIA, the Defense Industrial Security
Command, the gambling syndicate and its Miami, Bahama and Swiss
financial conduits, the assassination attempt on DeGaulle and the
entire personnel of the Kennedy death planners.
From the evidence gathered by the Warren Commission, it is
reasonable to believe that one of these highly trained Mexican
professional assassins fired the fatal head shot from behind the
fence at Dealey Plaza. This was the last bullet fired at the time
of the assassination of President Kennedy and it is the one which
struck him from the right front blowing off a large portion of
his right front temple and constituting the coup de grace.
However, at least seven of the Mexican professionals were in
firing position in Dallas on November 22nd. Three of the Mexican
assassins stayed at Tammie True's house in Fort Worth while
waiting their assignment. Tammie, one of Jack Ruby's strippers,
allowed them to stay at Ruby's request and they left for the
return trip to Mexico on Saturday, November 23rd.124
He took the Fifth Amendment seventy-five
times.
Levin
questioned one of Osborne's professionals who was one of the
three who had stayed with Tammie True. Emilio Santana was the
assassin firing from the Dal-Tex Building across Houston Street
from the Depository and behind the President's car.
Santana confirmed many of the facts herein. He went on to
admit his close acquaintance with Jack Ruby, Clay Shaw, Gordon
Novel, William Seymour and the others. As a matter of fact,
Santana told of a close relationship between Ruby and Shaw. This
and other facts gathered by Garrison were corroborated by a host
of other witnesses closely associated with the principals.
Santana confirmed that he had been employed by Clay Shaw. He
further related that Jack Ruby and Shaw made a number of long
trips together and one of these trips took the travelling
companions to Cuba in 1959 where they visited McWillie and the
gambling casinos to work out details in their arms smuggling
assignment.
Santana admitted that while he was an employee of Double-
Chek, he was an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency. This
was the professional assassin and burglar who spent the nights of
November 21st and 22nd, 1963, with Jack Ruby's most loyal, long-
term stripper, Tammie True.
While Oswald was entering Mexico at Laredo on September 26,
two persons going under the names George DeMen and Florence
Parson DeMen, as did a person using the name Anthony W. Oswald,
were entering Mexico 100 miles to the south of Laredo at Cuidad
Miguel Aleman. Also entering at Cuidad Miguel Aleman with the
above three were Samuel Thomas North and Judith Marie Muth North.
All five of the people were Russian exiled Solidarists and
entered by auto at Cuidad Miguel Aleman. They applied for and
were issued their tourist cards in New Orleans on September 17,
l963, simultaneously with Lee Harvey Oswald, their card numbers
from New Orleans being for the six people, 24082, 24083, 24084,
24085, 24086 and 24087.125 On October 3rd, when Lee Harvey Oswald
was re-entering the United States at Laredo, Texas, Anthony W.
Oswald made his re-entry at Cuidad Miguel Aleman, one hundred
miles to the South.126
The various Solidarists and American Council of Christian
Churches' agents were moving in and out of Mexico, Texas and New
Orleans as the date of their most important assignment
approached.
On the bus to Mexico City with Oswald and Bowen, the agent
for American Council of Churches cover name for the espionage and
propaganda unit, was T. Gonzales.127 T. Gonzales was an active
agent with the Jack Ruby, President Carlos Prio Socarras, Richard
Ray McKeown, David Ferrie, and L.J. McWillie anti-Castro group
which had originally run guns to Castro. Gonzales, Prio and
McKeown were indicted for conspiracy to violate neutrality laws
in Houston, Texas in 1958.128
Fred Korth, Lyndon Johnson's protege from Fort Worth, Texas,
was revealed by the Warren Commission to have been sending money
orders and instructions to one of the men impersonating Oswald in
Dallas over a period of a few weeks immediately prior to the
assassination. The manager of the Western Union office in Dallas
and one of the assistant managers definitely tied Korth to the
cabal.129
There was other and compelling testimony implicating Korth
in the planning cabal with HOOVER, ex-Cuban president CARLOS PRIO
SOCARRAS, H.L. HUNT, JEAN DEMENIL, WALTER JENKINS, LYNDON
JOHNSON, CLIFFORD JONES, BOBBY BAKER, L.J. McWILLIE, L.M.
BLOOMFIELD. ROY M. COHN, WERNHER VON BRAUN, FERENC NAGY, JOHN
CONNALLY, and CLINT MURCHISON, SR. Korth's wife remained in Fort
Worth after the assassination and divorced him later, never
returning to Washington, D.C.130 There were at least three other
members of the cabal but documentation is difficult and it would
not be fair to attempt to name them without further proof.
It is fair to point out that LYNDON JOHNSON, with a
compelling motive, was in contact with HOOVER, DEMENIL, PRIO,
JENKINS, COHN, HUNT, BAKER, JONES, McWILLIE, KORTH, BLOOMFIELD,
VON BRAUN, CONNALLY, NAGY, and MURCHISON for the year immediately
before the act and it was Johnson who insisted that Kennedy come
to Texas thus placing him directly under the rifles of the cabal.
Another planning member of the cabal working for Lyndon
Johnson was H.L. Hunt, the Dallas oilman and functioning director
of the American Council of Christian Churches. Hoover had his
agents take H.L. Hunt and his family to New York City at 12:30
pm, November 22, l963. For protective reasons, the Division Five
.i.FBI; men kept the Hunts at a hotel in New York three weeks
until it was determined Hunt's part in the assassination could be
kept from public knowledge.131
To recapitulate, the planning members of the cabal under the
direction of LYNDON JOHNSON, were WALTER JENKINS, H.L. HUNT, L.M.
BLOOMFIELD, FERENC NAGY, FRED KORTH, JEAN DEMENIL, CARLOS PRIO
SOCARRAS, L.J. McWILLIE, JOHN CONNALLY, CLINT MURCHISON, SR.,
WERNHER VON BRAUN, ROY M. COHN, BOBBY BAKER, CLIFFORD JONES AND
J. EDGAR HOOVER as chairman. Of course, there were a number of
other wealthy financiers and lower echelon people working on this
assignment, most of whom did not know the object of their duties
in connection with the assassination plan; some of them did,
however. As in all espionage and intelligence work, the large
number of employees knew only what they needed to to know in
order to carry out their particular assignment and the overall
plan was on a "need to know" basis.

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt

Chapter VIII

Jean De Menil, Oswald, Gordon Novel and Their Activities and
Associates

Jean DeMenil, The Russian Czarist exile and President of
Schlumberger, had used the company organization in 1960 and 1961
to smuggle the rifle grenades, land mines, missiles and other
arms for Double-Chek to the forces invading Cuba.132
DeMenil had these arms boxed and transported by Schlumberger
with the company name and false labeling on the huge number of
containers. Gordon Novel, a Double-Chek agent, Guy Bannister,
David Ferrie, Sergio Arcacha Smith and others worked closely with
Schlumberger in transporting these arms and ammunition.133
Some of the others working for DeMenil on the arms smuggling
were Layton Martens, a second generation Russian exile Solidarist
agent, Alvin Beauboeuf, a Solidarist agent and William Dalzell, a
New Orleans based geologist, Russian exile Solidarist and direct
associate of Jean DeMenil.134
Jean DeMenil worked with the same group in New Orleans in
planning the assassination using Dalzell as his liaison in New
Orleans. However, Guy Bannister was in over-all command of the
New Orleans phase of the operation since he was area man for
Division Five of the FBI. DeMenil brought Sergio Arcacha Smith to
Houston in March of 1963 to work with ex-President Carlos Prio
Socarras, Robert Ray McKeown and the Free Cuba Committee there.135
In Dallas, DeMenil had Paul Raigorodsky, a multi-millionaire
geologist and Russian exile Solidarist director who oversaw the
assignments of George Alexandrovitch Bouhe, Dimitri Roystar and
Peter Paul Gregory. These people, like DeMenil, were popularly
called White Russians. There were exiled from Russia after the
Communist revolution but many were East Europeans whose countries
became Communist controlled some twenty-five years after Russia.136
This conglomerate kept tight control and contact through the
intelligence and espionage arm, the Solidarists and the Orthodox
Eastern Church.
Gregory and Bouhe picked Lee Harvey Oswald and his Russian
wife up when they arrived in Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas, in
June of 1962 from Minsk, the capital of White Russia. Bouhe
furnished money and other necessities to the Oswalds until they
moved from Dallas to New Orleans in April and May of 1963.137
George Bouhe met with Robert Ray McKeown and other participants
in Baycliff, Texas, for several weeks after the assassination.138
Warren DeBrueys took over George Bouhe's assignment with Oswald
when he arrived in New Orleans and continued as Oswald's contact
until Nov. 22, 1963.
In the meantime, Guy Bannister, FBI Division Five's Southern
Director, employed a long term employee of Double-Chek by the
name of William Seymour from Phoenix, Arizona. Seymour was the
same size and weight as Lee Harvey Oswald and, more important, by
his resemblance to Oswald was as that of an identical twin.
Seymour was given the name Leon Oswald and false identification
papers in such a name as well as the name Lee Harvey Oswald and
others.139
David L. Lewis, a New Orleans private investigator, was
employed by Guy Bannister in 1962 and 1963. In late 1962 or early
1963, Lewis first met Leon Oswald. Lewis was in Manchuso's
Restaurant drinking coffee with Bannister's secretary when Carlos
Quiroga, an anti-Castro Cuban, came into the restaurant and
introduced a person resembling Lee Harvey Oswald as Leon Oswald
to Lewis and Bannister's secretary. The secretary confirms this
meeting and says that Leon, Carlos, Lewis and she all had coffee
together.140
About a week later when Lewis was leaving Bannister's office
on assignment, he saw Leon Oswald, alias William Seymour, a
second time as he passed Quiroga, David Ferrie and Leon Oswald in
the hall of Bannister's building. The three men were proceeding
to Bannister's office.141
On a third occasion about ten days later, Lewis entered
Bannister's office and there was a meeting taking place between
Bannister, Quiroga, David Ferrie, Leon Oswald and Robert Ray
McKeown of Baycliff, Texas. Lewis was not sure who the fourth
person was but McKeown was identified by another source.142
At about the same time as the Leon Oswald appearances as
related by Lewis, Sergio Arcacha Smith, leader of the anti-Castro
Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front in New Orleans, was closely
associated with David Ferrie; and Ferrie was in Arcacha's office,
and they were seen together on numerous occasions in New Orleans.
Arcacha admitted that David Ferrie often came to his office in
New Orleans to offer his help in recruiting and training men and
to use Ferrie's plane in the anti-Castro work. Arcacha returned
to Houston with McKeown after the meetings and worked there with
McKeown until the assassination date.143
William Seymour, alias Leon Oswald, then proceeded to
impersonate Lee Oswald at a number of places in New Orleans,
Florida, Austin, Alice, Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas, right down
to November 22, 1963. As per his assignment through Bannister
from the cabal, Seymour made incriminating statements on behalf
of Oswald which were to be used as evidence against Oswald after
the murder. Seymour also went to Florida posing as Oswald and
carried the Fair Play for Cuba part down there in the summer of
1963.144
Seymour, in his masquerade, bought ammunition in Fort Worth,
made pro-Castro remarks in an Irving barber shop and other shops
around Dallas and fired a rifle similar to the Italian one a
large number of times and at a number of rifle ranges in the
Dallas area over a month's period immediately before the cabal's
murder occurred. Two weeks before the assassination, Seymour,
alias Lee Harvey Oswald, alias Leon Oswald, told a car salesman
he would soon come into a large sum of money.145
As Leon Oswald, Seymour in September, 1963, discussed the
planned assassination of Kennedy in New Orleans with Clay Shaw,
David Ferrie and two Mexican appearing men.146 Seymour was
introduced to Mrs. Sylvia Odie by two Mexican appearing men in
Dallas on September 25th as Leon Oswald. At this time, he was
said to have made remarks which would incriminate Oswald in the
murder two months away.147
But Seymour was not the only one impersonating and
incriminating Oswald with statements and acts prior to the
assassination. Gordon Novel's wife testified to Jim Garrison that
Novel was the clean shaved person impersonating Oswald and
fabricating evidence against him in advance of the murder. Novel
was an absolute dead ringer for Lee Harvey Oswald and was in
Dallas, Texas, as well as in Mexico and Fort Worth, in the six
weeks prior to November 22nd, doing his part in the conspiracy.148
Oswald himself, Novel and Seymour, impersonating him, were
following instructions from the cabal of professional anti-
Communists which would blame the killing on pro-Communists and
offset the detente Kennedy was reaching between the two political
worlds.
On November 22nd, William Seymour fired a rifle from the
sixth floor of the School Book Depository Building at President
Kennedy striking him only once in the back. Two of his shots
missed and the one that hit John Connally came from the building
across Houston Street from the Depository Building.
Seymour left the building and was picked up by a Nash Rambler.
The driver took Seymour to the vicinity of the Abundant Life
Temple and let him out to walk the balance of about two blocks to
the Temple, an affiliate of the A.C.C.C. which was provided as a
safehouse for Seymour. He killed Police Officer J.D. Tippet and
then proceeded to his safehouse, the Abundant Life Temple, about
a block from the Tippet murder scene. There he remained until it
was safe to leave town.149
Meanwhile, the Dallas Police were arresting a goodly number
of Permindex agents at the assassination site. An important
figure, James Powell of Army Intelligence on assignment through
the DIA to the Defense Industrial Security Command of Columbus,
Ohio and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was trapped and arrested in the
School Book Depository Building shortly after 12:30 pm. He was
later released along with the others by Captain Will Fritz in
charge of Homicide for the Dallas Police Department.150
Immediately across Houston Street, Jim Braden of Los Angeles
was arrested in the Dal-Tex Building. Braden was also an agent of
the Defense Industrial Security Command of Redstone, Muscle
Shoals, and Columbus.
The chain of evidence connecting Albert Osborne, Fred Lee
Chrismon, alias John M. Bowen, Permindex, and his co-workers
became iron clad when a Black Star photographer snapped a picture
a few minutes after the assassination of Chrismon, alias Bowen,
and two of his charges in the process of being arrested by two
young Dallas police officers at Dealey Plaza. Fritz later
released all three. The Chrismon, alias Bowen, arrest picture
received limited public distribution in 1969 when it was
published in the Midlothian Mirror by Penn Jones, the Texas
editor.
Co-Director of the Mexico based assassins, John H. Bowen,
alias Fred Lee Chrismon, alias Free Lee, alias Jon Gould, alias
Jon Gold, and Thomas Beckam, front, and another assassin in the
process of being arrested at Dealey Plaza immediately after the
assassination.

One of Chrismon's Mexican professionals, Manuel Gonzales,
firing from the fence to Kennedy's right side struck the
President in the right temple killing him instantly. Gonzales and
his aides returned to Fort Worth after the assassination where
they remained at Tammie True's until Saturday, November 23, when
they met Joe Cody, a Dallas detective who flew them to Houston.151
David Ferrie and Ray McKeown met Cody and the professionals
at Houston International Airport and Ferrie, using a second
airplane, flew them to Matamoros, Mexico. On Sunday, November
24th, Ferrie flew to Dallas where he was interviewed by newsmen.152
Late that night, Ferrie flew to Alexandria, Louisiana, where he
was met by Coffee and Beauboeuf and they drove back to New
Orleans where they were arrested by the District Attorney's
Office.
Two homosexuals, Breck Wall and Joe Peterson, on Saturday,
November 23, 1963, at about 6:00 pm, left their rooms at the
Adolphus, picked William Seymour up at the Abundant Life Temple
and drove him to the Driftwood Motel in Galveston where they
turned him over to David Ferrie, Robert Ray McKeown and others at
about 11:00 pm. Seymour then hid out at McKeown's house in
Baycliff, Texas until a few days later when he returned to his
sister's home in Phoenix, Arizona. Jack Ruby called Wall in
Galveston around midnight of the 23rd to check on Seymour's,
alias Leon Oswald, delivery.153
Clifford Jones, Ed Levinson and L.J. McWillie later brought
Wall and Peterson to Las Vegas where they took up residence at
the Castaway Club.154
Gordon Novel, a Double-Chek employee and Bannister agent,
when called before a New Orleans Grand Jury in 1967, decided to
write the man who succeeded Guy Bannister after his death in
1964, Seymour Weiss. Novel told Weiss of Division Five of the FBI
that Garrison was on to Double-Chek's involvement, warned
Division Five not to kill him and suggested the DIA be used to
subdue Garrison.155
The suggestion in Gordon Novel's letter to Seymour Weiss of
the FBI Division Five that the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency)
be used to stop Garrison;'s investigation was immediately
followed by furious activity on the part of a former .i.DIA
liaison man in the Attorney General's Office.
Walter Sheridan, who had served the DIA as liaison man in
the Attorney General's Office, immediately contacted Novel and
took him to a Division Five, FBI polygraph operator in McLean,
Virginia, and Sheridan prepared news releases to the effect that
Novel had passed the lie detector test. The gist of the Sheridan
news releases were that Jim Garrison's investigation in New
Orleans was a fraud and amounted to nothing.156
Then Sheridan, the DIA liaison man, was employed by the
National Broadcasting Company at the behest of the DIA office
where he traveled the length and breadth of the United States
interviewing Garrison; witnesses and attempting to get them to
change their testimony, offering them money and other inducements
to appear on the NBC program which was broadcast in June of 1967.157
Walter Sheridan himself appeared on the program as an
investigator and correspondent for NBC. The program was so
designed as an attempt to show that Jim Garrison had absolutely
no evidence of a conspiracy and it, in fact, was a completely one-
sided attempt to libel and defame Jim Garrison personally. Jim
Garrison continued his investigation.
After the June, 1967 appearance on the one hour NBC
documentary, Walter Sheridan was not heard or seen by the viewers
of NBC's programs which proves that Walter Sheridan was on
special assignment from his DIA position to pursue the
suggestions made in the letter from Gordon Novel to Hoover's Mr.
Weiss that the DIA be used to get Mr. Garrison off the track.158
The Warren Commission did not find that Lee Harvey Oswald
killed President Kennedy. They simply found there was not enough
evidence to find a conspiracy in the murder and the evidence was
weighed against Oswald. Consequently, the Commission left open
the question with an implied instruction to J. Edgar Hoover and
the other agencies to continue the search for a conspiracy.
Hoover not only failed to continue in the investigation, he
has blocked every effort to uncover the assassins and has
ridiculed and harassed everyone who dared question the subject.
He has purposely protected his unsavory secret. Hoover's very
actions in covering the evidence of the crime constitute
admissible evidence corroborating the other evidence of his
guilt. This is a correct rule of evidence recognized in every
State and Federal Court in the land.
The night dispatcher for the New Orleans FBI office revealed
that a warning of the assassination plan was wired to J. Edgar
Hoover five days before November 22, 1963.159 The iron clad
evidence of the warning to Hoover was widely published and
Hoover, of course, never denied it because of his involvement.
The Division Five agent who reported the pending November
22nd Dallas assassination attempt on November 17, 1963, was Lee
Harvey Oswald.160 What clearer evidence of J. Edgar Hoover's part
in the assassination scheme would any reasonable person need?
Well, there is much more. FBI agent Hosty's name, office
address, car license and telephone number were in Oswald's
notebook in Oswald's handwriting. Hoover furnished the Warren
Commission with what he told them was a true copy of the
notebook. The staff discovered that Hoover had left the page out
with Hosty's name. They had to call this to Hoover's attention
twice before he corrected the fraudulent exhibit. Called upon to
explain, Hoover could, of course, make no legitimate excuse.
And more. Richard Case Nagell, a CIA agent who in connection
with an official assignment learned of the plan, sent a
registered letter to Hoover advising of the assassination plans
against Kennedy. Although this was mailed in August, 1963, Hoover
never acted on the warning, but instead arrested Nagell on
another charge.161
Still more. Frame 313 through 319 of the Zapruder film
depicts Kennedy in the process of being slammed violently
backwards and against the back of the seat at the time of the
fatal shot. Kennedy's body is rapidly driven about three feet to
the rear and left and the blood and brain is clearly shown flying
to the left rear and on to the motorcycle policeman to the rear
of Kennedy's car. The result is clear and unequivocal proof that
Kennedy was shot from the front and to the right. Oswald was to
the rear. Result: a conspiracy.
The Commission and Harold Weisberg discovered, after the
Warren group dissolved, that Hoover had reversed frame 313 and
314. Hoover admitted this. He said it was a printing error. The
result reversed the violent backward movement of Kennedy,
fabricated a forward movement and further proved Hoover's
inculpatory action.162
In Esquire Magazine in December, 1966, Don Reynolds was
quoted as revealing that Lyndon Johnson and John Connally were
two of the people involved in the assassination cabal. Reynolds
detailed a telephone call that John Connally made from
Washington, D.C. to someone posing as Lee Harvey Oswald in
Dallas, Texas about two weeks before November 22, 1963. Reynolds
got more specific and said the call was to the YMCA in Dallas and
that John Connally initiated the call.
In the same publication, J. Edgar Hoover was quoted as the
only source who specifically investigated and cleared both
Johnson and Connally.

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt

Chapter IX

Hungarian Prime Minister, Ferenc Nagy's, Chronological
Activities, and Wernher Von Braun

1. June 1946. As Hungarian Prime Minister, Nagy visits the
United States and receives permission for the U.S. Army in
Germany to return fifty-two million dollars in gold reserves
(taken from Hungary by Hitler) to Hungary. At the same time,
Nagy spends one full week in Knoxville, Tennessee,
Huntsville, Alabama and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where he
meets and visits with Nazi scientists working at American
Redstone Arsenal and with Tennessee Valley Authority
management and security agents under direction of the FBI at
Knoxville, Tennessee and Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Albert
Osborne, the A.C.C.C missionary from Mississippi, worked for
the security division of the Tennessee Valley Authority
since 1933, and he constantly reported to the Muscle Shoals,
Huntsville, and Knoxville offices of TVA since 1942, the
time he moved to Mexico.163
2. May 28, 1947. Prime Minister Nagy resigns his post from
Basal, Switzerland, on the German-Swiss border.164
3. Fall of 1947. Ex-Prime Minister Nagy and family settle on
120 acre farm on outskirts of Herndon, Virginia, twenty-five
miles from Washington, D.C., and Nagy becomes agent for any
Communist speaking engagements for Division Five of the FBI.165
4. Fall of 1947 to 1951. Nagy covers United States and becomes
closely associated with H.L. Hunt of Dallas, Texas.166
5. 1951. Nagy becomes president of Central Eastern European
Committee of Refugee Exiles.167
6. 1956 to 1962. Nagy is President and on the Board of
Directors of Permindex, a Swiss Corporation, and CMC, Rome,
Italy, and commutes between Dallas, Washington, D.C.,
Herndon, Virginia, Switzerland and Italy.168
7. Spring 1963. Nagy settles in Dallas, Texas with offices in
the 600 block of Fort Worth Avenue, ten blocks west of the
Dallas School Book Depository Building. He is associated in
the 600 block of Fort Worth Avenue in Dallas with Ralph
Paul, C.A. "Pappy" Dolsen, Jack Ruby, and Sergio Arcacha
Smith, the first two named being close business associates
of Jack Ruby. Nagy's relatives make their residence at 1024
Magellan Circle Apartment D, right next door to Sylvia
Odio's abode who was visited by the two Cubans and William
Seymour on or about September 28, 1963. The 600 block
address of Ferenc Nagy is three blocks from the Fort Worth
Avenue address of Dal-Land Memorials, where Penn Jones
reports the person impersonating Lee Oswald left clothing
shortly prior to the assassination. The 600 block of Fort
Worth Avenue is seven blocks west of the City Lincoln
Mercury plant where a person impersonating Oswald tried to
buy an automobile and made statements which could later be
used to incriminate Oswald some few days before November 22,
1963.169

Then on November 22, 1963, Ferenc Nagy appears in more than
thirty-five photographs at the site of the assassination. He is
shown with an open umbrella at a point to the right of President
Kennedy's car at Dealey Plaza. After the President's car passed
within a few feet of Nagy, he suddenly closed his umbrella and
the last and fatal shots were fired. He is depicted in pictures
after the shots with his umbrella folded and then departing the
area.170
Nagy is easily recognizable in a number of the photos taken
by bystanders. Nagy's forward area of cranium is fully bald while
the back one-fourth portion is covered and the hair is combed
across the back section of his head.
Nagy, the former Prime Minister of Hungary, President of
Permindex and upper echelon boss of Division Five of the FBI,
along with Clay Shaw of New Orleans and L.M. Bloomfield of
Montreal, Canada carried out his assignment in Dallas with
dispatch, but he had his picture taken in the process.
From 1932 until 1945 Wernher Von Braun was Adolph HItler's
most dedicated Nazi rocket scientist. As a matter of fact, given
a few more months time, Von Braun's "buzz bomb" and V-2 rocket in
1945 could have turned the tide and forced the Allies to seek
something less than total victory over the Third Reich. The
enthusiastic Nazi, Von Braun's V-2 rocket had killed thousands
and thousands of British Isle residents, and the sound of the
approach of the V-2 was terrorizing the entire English
countryside.
In 1945, as the Russians were approaching Von Braun's rocket
headquarters, he and one hundred and fifteen other of his Nazi
rocket scientists escaped with valuable papers and traveled west
in Germany until they could turn themselves in to the Allied
armies on the West. Later the same year, Von Braun and the 115
other German scientists were removed to Fort Bliss, Texas, where
they remained until 1950. In 1950, Von Braun and the others were
moved on the the old Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama,
where they remain to this date.
Von Braun, immediately upon arriving in the United States,
made close personal friends with J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon B.
Johnson; and the relationship remained close with Von Braun
working with Hoover in security in the Tennessee Valley Authority
and the Redstone Arsenal; and later, beginning in 1958, they
worked together in the security of the National Space Agency.
1958 was the year that Lyndon Johnson, as Majority Leader of the
Senate, helped to push through the National Space Act and later,
when he became Vice-President, he was made chairman of the
National Space Committee.
Ferenc Nagy, ex-Hungarian Prime Minister, and Albert
Alexander Osborne, alias John H. Bowen, the overseer of the
assassins in Mexico, both reported consistently to the Muscle
Shoals, Huntsville, Alabama area; and there is substantial
evidence their contact in this area was Wernher Von Braun.171
Another of the Nazi space scientists who worked with the
Cabal was Walter Dornberger. He had been the commanding officer
of Wernher Von Braun while both were working for Adolph Hitler's
rocket program. During the time period involved, Walter
Dornberger was a directing officer in the Bell Aerospace
Corporation along with Fred Korth. The former Nazi rocket officer
was directly in charge of the assignment of Michael Paine to Bell
Helicopter Corporation, a subsidiary in Fort Worth, Texas.
Paine's assignment was to provide a place for Marina Oswald
during the approximate eight months prior to November 22, 1963.
He provided for Marina to live with his wife, Ruth, in Irving
Texas. Ray Krystinik testified to the Warren Commission that
Michael Paine, immediately after Lee Oswald was captured at the
theater, said, "The stupid ________, he was not even supposed to
have a gun."
Von Braun first met Clay Shaw in 1945 when he, Walter
Dornberger and about 150 other Nazi rocket scientists abandoned
Peenemunde and traveled south to join the American forces in
Germany close to the French border. The Nazis were brought to the
Deputy Chief of Staff's headquarters where Major Clay Shaw was
aide-de-camp to General Charles O. Thrasher, Deputy Chief,
European Theatre of Operations. Von Braun, Dornberger, and Shaw
maintained the relationship over the years through their mutual
connection with the Defense Industrial Security Command, an
operational arm of the counter-espionage division of the FBI.172
Ordnance Colonel Holgar N. Toftoy was in charge of the Nazi
scientists, and Clay Shaw in the European Command section gave
firm assistance to the transfer of 127 of them to the United
States after they had spent about five months with the command in
Europe.173
In the transfer of the Nazi rocket scientists, the services
of Adolph Hitler's intelligence agency was used extensively, and
Shaw, Von Braun, Dornberger and the others began a very close
association with the Nazi agency and its commander.
The Bundesnachrichtendienst,better known as the Federal
Intelligence Agency, or FIA, is largely dependent on the CIA,
which subsidizes and controls it. The director in 1963 was
Reinhard Gehlen, a former ex-Nazi Colonel 'recuperated' in August
1945 by Allen Dulles, who at the time headed the OSS in
Switzerland and was in charge of American intelligence activities
in occupied Germany.
The Solidarists and Gehlen had conceived the idea of the
"Vlassov Army" which were Russian anti-communist troops, and
Gehlen was given the responsiblity for the underground that
continued to operate behind Communist lines until 1950. In
Poland, Gehlen's guerillas on March 28, 1947 murdered General
Karol Swierczenski, Vice-Minister of Defense, who, under the name
of Walter, had commanded the 14th International Brigade in Spain,
and who served as the model for one of the characters in
Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Gehlen developed his network under the cover of a firm known
as the "Economic Association for the Development of South
Germany". He employed former members of the Gestapo such as
Boemel-Burg, his intelligence chief in Berlin, and Franz Alfred
Six, former SS General and one of Eichmann's subordinates, who
was put in charge of Gehlen's contacts in Western Europe.
With the aid of other highly-qualified specialists, Gehlen
successfully infiltrated East Germany and the Eastern European
states, uncovered Soviet intelligence rings, planted agents among
groups of expatriate workers, and took charge of the refugee
organizations. He worked for the CIA, Solidarists, and J. Edgar
Hoover.
After two years of intense and extensive investigation, Jim
Garrison made a well-recorded public statement showing beyond
doubt that the had traced the Nazi rocket scientists, the World
Trade Center and Permindex, the Fascist Solidarists, American
Council of Christian Churches, Free Cuba Committee, the gambling
syndicate and Mafia, and NASA's Security Division into its
umbrella controlling organization, the Defense Industrial
Security Command of Columbus, Ohio and Huntsville, Alabama.
Garrison; had traced DISC into its larger umbrella, Division
Five of the .i.FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency supervised
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon.
Here is how Garrison's statement came about. On October 31,
1968, Jim Garrison subpoenaed a Tacoma, Washington man for
questioning in his continuing investigation of the John F.
Kennedy assassination.
Fred Lee Chrismon, a "bishop" of the Universal Life Church,
was called to appear before the Orleans Parish Grand Jury on
November 21, 1968. Garrison's office said that Chrismon "has been
engaged in undercover activity for a part of the industrial
warfare complex for years. His cover is that of a 'preacher' and
a 'person engaged in work to help the Gypsies.'"
Garrison's statement continued;; "Our information indicates
that since the early sixties, Chrismon has made many trips to the
New Orleans and Dallas areas in connection with his undercover
work. He is a 'former' employee of the Boeing Aircraft Company in
the sense that one defendant in the case is a 'former' employee
of the Lockheed Aircraft Company in Los Angeles. In intelligence
terminology, this ordinarily means that the connection still
exists, but that the 'former employee' has moved into an
underground operation."
Garrison said that evidence has been developed indicating a
relationship between Chrismon and "persons involved in the

assassination of President John F. Kennedy."

Garrison further reiterated the general findings of his
controversial investigation. "President Kennedy was murdered by
elements of the industrial warfare complex working in concert
with individuals in the United States Government. At the time of
his murder, President Kennedy was working to end the Cold War.
The annual income of the defense industry was well over twenty
billion dollars a year, and there were forces in that industry
and in the U.S. Government which opposed the ending of the Cold
War."
As has been pointed out earlier, Fred Lee Chrismon used the
alias John Howard Bowen and travelled and worked with the Mexico
based assassins, Albert Osborne, Thomas Beckham and others.
Bowen, alias Chrismon, and Becham are shown in photographs taken
November 22, 1963. In the picture on page 48, they are shown
being taken after arrest by Dallas police across Dealey Plaza
immediately after the President's murder.
Fred Lee Chrismon, alias John H. Bowen, alias Dr. Jon Gold,
and his partner, Thomas Edward Beckham, and Albert Osborne were
all working for the Defense Industrial Security Command through

the American Council of Christian Churches.

Garrison also revealed that the Grand Jury records confirmed
Johnson's part when he said, "Who had the most to gain from the
murder? Answer - Lyndon Johnson."
Chrismon, alias John H. Bowen, and Beckham played only small
roles in the big picture, but not Jack Ruby and Ferenc Nagy. Jack
Ruby, agent for DISC through the Mafia and Syndicate had to be in
the basement of Dallas City Hall two days after the assassination
to dispose of a dangerous witness.
Ferenc Nagy, fellow director of Permindex and the World
Trade Center, with Clay Shaw under L.M. Bloomfield, was also in
the Dallas City Hall basement the morning of November 24, 1963.
Buford Lee Beaty, a city detective, said Captain Tabbert
"requested him to watch a man of obvious Hungarian origin who
allegedly was in the basement to secure the release of two of his
employees."174 Beaty and other policemen have confided to friends
that the Hungarian was a former high official and was highly
suspect on the morning of the 24th.
About five years after that memorable morning, a few
American publications uncovered the fact that the Defense
Industrial Security Command was employing agents provocateur.
These are the historic agents used over the centuries by despots
to foment division among the population in order to give the
government the people's support in suppressing an unpopular
segment of the country involved. Provoking agents are also used
effectively in creating a munitions market.
The New York Times reported in 1968 that Stokely Carmichael
and Rap Brown were Federal agents provocateur. Other media named
Eldridge Cleaver and a number of other trouble makers as
provocative agents of the FBI. Such reports were not confirmed,
but they do make interesting food for thought.
Chapter X

Tryall Club in Jamaica and World Commerce Corporation Successor
to the German Munitions Cartels

The genesis of the munitions cartels is found in the following
quotations from H. Montgomery Hyde's book, Room 3603. Hyde's book
is a biography of the experience of Sir William Stephenson during
and after World War II. Stephenson was head of British
Intelligence in the United States during World War II. Here is
what Hyde had to say:175
(In 1946) Stephenson had gone to live in Jamaica, where he
had bought a property at Hillowton, overlooking Montego Bay
- "the finest house in the island," he called it.
(Incidentally, it was his wife's choice). His example was
followed by several of his friends, including Lord
Beaverbrook, Sir William Wiseman, Noel Coward and Ian
Fleming, all of whom acquired estates on Jamaica's beautiful
north shore at this time. For a year or so he showed little
interest in the outside world and was content to enjoy life
on this island in the sun. Only gradually did he recover his
interest in commerce and industry. With some of his war-time
associates, such as financiers Sir Rex Benson and Sir
Charles Hambro in London, General Donovan in Washington, and
a number of Canadian and American industrialists like Edward
Stettinius, former chairman of the U.S. Steel Corporation,
he formed the British-American-Canadian Corporation, which
developed into the World Commerce Corporation, originally
designed to fill the void left by the break-up of the big
German cartels which Stephenson himself had done much to
destroy. Thus he and his colleagues on the board raised an
initial $1,000,000 to help 'bridge over the breakdown in
foreign exchange and provide the tools, machinery and "know
how" to develop untapped resources in different parts of the
world'."

The World Commerce Corporation also played a useful part in
the development and rehabilitation of economically backward
countries. As one American newspaper editorial put it at the
time, "if there were several World Commerce Corporations,
there would be no need for a Marshall Plan". Barter trade
was facilitated on a massive scale. A typical transaction
took place in the Balkans in 1951. Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
were short of dollars and also short of medicinal drugs. But
each country had about $300,000 worth of paprika on its
farms. World Commerce accordingly exchanged a year's supply
of penicillin and sulfa for the paprika, which they then
sold on other markets. While normally working on a
commission basis, the Corporation would sometimes forgo its
profit if it felt it could help an impoverished or
economically backward country by giving it the facilities of
its international connections."

The North Jamaican Hillowton property was later transformed
to Tryall, the exclusive club of John Connally, Paul Raigorodsky
and many others of the cabal.
World Commerce Corporation received funds from the U.S.
International Cooperation Agency and worked closely with Clay
Shaw's World Trade Development Commission and Permindex's various
World Trade Centers.
George DeMohrenschildt, William Dalsell and a number of the
White Russians had worked for I.C.A. for a number of years. This
increased DeMohrenschildt's knowledge of the subject of who was
behind the conspiracy.
The following from Volume XXIV, page 642 of the official
Commission evidence is especially interesting since Albert
Osborne and Gordon Novel had been reported at Tryall, Jamaica on
a number of occasions.

Ylario Rojas continued as follows:

The latter part of December, 1962, the Cuban visited him in
Guadalajara, gave him 900 pesos ($72 U.S.), and on the
instructions of the Cuban, he proceeded to Cozumel by bus,
arriving there shortly after Christmas, 1962. In Cozumel,
ROJAS was met by two Cubans, whose names he could not
recall, and also by a Cuban woman whose first name was
CRISTINA. Although he could not recall the names of the
Cubans, he claimed to have them written in a notebook which
he lift with DANIEL SOLIS, a municipal policeman in Cozumel,
and he affirmed SOLIS would not deliver the notebook to
anyone but him.

About December 20, 1962, .I.OSWALD; arrived in Cozumel,
having proceeded there from Jamaica via Compania Mexicana de
Aviation (CMA) Airlines. .I.OSWALD;, the three Cubans, and
ROJAS discussed the introduction of Cuban propaganda into
Mexico. During the time of these discussions, .I.OSWALD; and
the three Cubans stayed at the Hotel Playa in Cozumel and
ROJAS resided at the home of DANIEL SOLIS. .I.OSWALD;
remained in Cozumel for two or three days and returned to
Jamaica by air, and ROJAS and the three Cubans remained in
Cozumel until about February 15, 1963, when .I.OSWALD; again
appeared in Cozumel from Jamaica and on this occasion stayed
three days. The day following .I.OSWALD;'S arrival, an
American by the name of ALBERT arrived from Jamaica.

ROJAS claimed the Cuban woman, CRISTINA, told him that she,
the other two Cubans, .I.OSWALD; and ALBERT had discussed
the elimination of President KENNEDY. According to ROJAS,
she stated .I.OSWALD; was in favor of killing President
KENNEDY, but ALBERT and the Cubans did not agree with
.I.OSWALD;. ROJAS was told by CRISTINA that .I.OSWALD; had
stated to the Cubans that he and ALBERT had laid plans to
eliminate the President. ALBERT had stayed at the Hotel
Isleno in Cozumel and returned to the United States via
Jamaica the day after his arrival in Cozumel.

ROJAS claimed to have stayed in Cozumel until early March,
1963, when he returned by bus to Guadalajara.

The officials investigating for the Commission pressured
Rojas until he recanted his story. However this action on the
part of the investigators is not reliable in that a large amount
of hanky panky was going on in the Mexican part of the inquiry.
Some of this is reflected in Volume XIV beginning on page 621.

On March 31, 1964, GILBERTO LOZANO GUIZAR, manager of the
Mexico City terminal of the Transportes Frontera bus
company, Calle Buenavista No. 7, Mexico, D.F., emphatically
advised that the original passenger list of manifest
relating to departure No. 2 of bus No. 340 on October 2,
1963, of the Transportes Frontera bus company, is an
authentic record of data pertaining to that particular trip.

. . . . .

He advised that officers of the Presidential Staff appeared
at the bus terminal shortly after the assassination of
President KENNEDY, seeking to review passenger lists of the
bus company for early October, 1963, and it was found at
that time that the completed block of forms for most of the
month of October, 1963, which included the above described
passenger list, was still in the baggage room at the
terminal prior to being discarded. He stated he had torn the
October 2, 1963 manifest from the block of forms and
furnished it to one of the officers. LOZANO advised that one
Lieutenant ARTURO BOSCH, an investigator of the Presidential
Staff, had reviewed the above manifest.

LOZANO expressed the opinion that ARTURO BOSCH had filled in
the blanks in ink at the top of the form as to the time,
destination, trip number, bus number, and date, and had
crossed out the date 'November 1', replacing it with the
notation 'October 2' which appeared on the manifest. . . . .
.

LOZANO stated the hand-printed notation appearing at the
bottom of the manifest, 'Driver, DIONISIO REYNA, FCO.
SAUCEDO,' was also filled in by BOSCH.

LOZANO advised that there definitely was only one section of
bus No. 340 which departed Mexico City at 1:00 pm on October
2, 1963, en route to Monterrey, Mexico, and Nuevo Laredo,
Mexico. He explained that the notation 'Departure 2'
appearing on the top of the manifest, which he believed
BOSCH had filled out, merely indicated the second departure
of a Transportes Frontera bus on that particular day,
October 2, 1963. The first departure of one of their buses
on that day from the Mexico City terminal occurred at 9:00
am with the terminal point being Monterrey, Mexico. He
stated the second departure of a Transportes Frontera bus
from the Mexico City terminal on October 2, 1963, was the
departure at 1:00 pm with the terminal point being Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, and the passengers on this bus were recorded
on the above-mentioned manifest of October 2,1963. He stated
there were three other departures on that day from the
Mexico City terminal, the third departure having occurred at
3:30 pm with the terminal point being Matamoros, Tamaulipas,
Mexico; the fourth departure having occurred at 9:00 pm with
terminal point at Nuevo Laredo; and the fifth departure at
10:00 pm with terminal point being Cuidad Juarez, Chihuahua,
Mexico. LOZANO advised the only bus operating on their line
which would have arrived at Nuevo Laredo between the hours
of 12:00 am and 8:00 am on October 3, 1963, is bus No. 340,
which departed from the Mexico City terminal at 1:00 pm on
October 2, 1963.

At another point the report goes on:

He (ALEJANDRO SAUCEDO) recalled that shortly after the
assassination of President JOHN F. KENNEDY two
investigators, whom he described as being with the "Policia
Federal Judicial" (Federal Judicial Police), appeared at the
Flecha Roja terminal, Mexico, D.F., and requested the
original passenger list of bus No. 516 of September 26,
1963, for review. SAUCEDO remembered that the two
investigators examined the passenger lists, filed by dates,
in a storeroom at the offices of the Flecha Roja bus
terminal and found the original copy for the pertinent date
and borrowed same. He could not recall the names of the
investigators or the exact date they appeared at the office.

SAUCEDO now recalled clearly that these two investigators,
whom he could only describe as being "in their thirties,"
had the duplicate copy of the passenger list which
apparently had been at the Flecha Roja bus terminal office
in Nuevo Laredo when the trip for September 26, 1963, began.
The investigators stated they wanted the original list
because the duplicated copy was not completely legible.
SAUCEDO stated they had the original and duplicate copy of
the passenger manifest for Flecha Roja bus No. 516 for
September 26, 1963, when they left.

SAUCEDO stated the investigators did exhibit to him
government credentials, agency not recalled, and advised
they were interested only in finding the passenger list for
the incoming trip of bus No. 516 on September 26, 1963. When
SAUCEDO asked them if they were interested in locating a
departure trip, they stated they were not, explaining they
had just been at the bus terminal of Transportes Frontera in
Mexico, D.F., where they had located the passenger list for
.I.OSWALD;'S departure from Mexico. . . . . .

During this search and review, an untied, loose bundle dated
October 5, 1963, was located thrown aside in a cardboard box
on the floor of the storage room outside the bin area. This
bundle was reviewed and found to include passenger lists for
dates September 21, 1963 to October 5, 1963, but no
passenger list for bus No. 516 for September 26, 1963 was
found.

The information hereinunder was furnished by T-13:

On March 24, 1963, Captain FERNANDO GUTIERREZ BARRIOS,
Assistant Director of the Mexican Federal Security Police
(DFS), advised that his agency had conduced no investigation
in connection with the travel in Mexico of LEE HARVEY
.I.OSWALD; and did not have in its possession any passenger
lists from any bus lines . . . . . 176

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

SIC TRANSIT GLORIA.
Chapter XI

clay shaw, permindex director, plans a murder

Clay Shaw, under the name of Clay or Clem Bertrand, was
overheard planning the assassination of President Kennedy with
David Ferrie and Bettit, alias Leon Oswald, during the middle of
September, 1963, in New Orleans.
New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison, produced a
witness who told a three-judge criminal district court panel
March 14, 1967, he heard Lee Harvey Oswald, Clay Shaw and David
Ferrie plotting to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.177
Perry Raymond Russo, 25, an insurance salesman from Baton
Rouge, testified he was in Ferrie's apartment in New Orleans in
September, 1963, and listened to a discussion of how to kill
Kennedy and make a getaway. Russo said the plot involved
"triangulation of crossfire," diversionary shooting and the
sacrificing of one man as a scapegoat to allow the others to
escape.178
Russo, a part-time college student who lives with a younger
cousin near the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton
Rouge, was described as "a nice young kid" by a neighbor. A
fellow student at LSU said he was "a quite type who is interested
in politics."179
Under questioning by Garrison, Russo said Oswald was
introduced to him as "Leon Oswald" and Shaw as "Clem Bertrand".
Shown a photograph by Garrison, Russo identified Leon as Lee
Harvey Oswald. Asked if Clem Bertrand was in the courtroom, Russo
pointed at Shaw. At Garrison's direction, he stepped from the
witness chair, walked around the defense table and held his hand
over Shaw's silvery white hair. Shaw, 54, calmly smoking a
cigarette, didn't move. He is the former Managing Director of the
International Trade Mart in New Orleans.180
Russo said he first met Oswald at a party and the next time
he saw him was in Ferrie's apartment where Oswald was "wiping or
cleaning a bolt action rifle. It had a sight on it for hunting."
Garrison showed Russo a rifle and asked if it had similarities to
the one Oswald held in Ferrie's apartment. Russo said: "The
difference to my mind is that this end (front) was not nearly so
bubble shaped." He said the weapon had the same bolt action, but
a shinier stock, and its telescopic sight was larger than the one
on the rifle Oswald had.181
Russo said he had seen Clay Shaw, alias Bertrand, in May,
1963, when Kennedy dedicated a new wharf in New Orleans. "I was
in school," Russo said. "The President was coming down to make a
speech. At that time I saw Bertrand. While the President was
speaking, I was looking around. Bertrand was one of the few not
looking at the President." Police estimated 20,000 people
attended the dedication.182
Russo said that after he contacted Garrison following
Ferrie's death, the District Attorney took him to "a house on
Dauphine Street." Shaw lives at 1313 Dauphine Street. "He stuck
his head out the door and I said, 'That's the man'," Russo said,
referring to Bertrand.
Garrison asked, "Do you recall anything unusual happening at
Ferrie's apartment in 1963?" Russo replied, "Sometime around the
middle of September I went to the house and at that time there
was some sort of party in progress. There were eight or nine
people there. As the party dissipated, it narrowed down to three
people besides myself because I had no ride home."183
Russo testified that Ferrie, 49, a free-lance pilot who was
under investigation by Garrison at the time of his death, did
most of the talking about the proposed assassination. Ferrie,
pacing the floor, said the attempt should have three gunners in
order to provide "a triangulation of cross-fire", Russo
testified. He quoted Ferrie as saying that one man would have to
be sacrificed as a scapegoat. Ferrie, Russo added, was to be the
get-away pilot flying into Mexico to refuel for a flight to
Brazil.184
Objections were raised by Bertrand, Russo said. He said
Bertrand argued that as soon as the shots were fired "the world
would know about it" and once the plane landed in Mexico there
would be no way to get out.185 Under cross-examination by Shaw's
attorneys, Russo said that when he saw Oswald in news pictures
and on television after the assassination, he "could not be sure"
he was Leon Oswald, the man he knew as one of the conspirators.186
Russo was asked if he thought Oswald was "Leon Oswald" when
he first saw the assassin's picture. "I gave it thought, but I
couldn't be positive of the man," he said. "I was not definite.
It was probably the same man. It crossed my mind they were one
and the same but I could not be definite."187
"I knew Leon Oswald, who had whiskers," Russo said. "He was
dirty. His hair was ruffled up."
A second witness said he saw two men - whom he now can
identify as Oswald and Shaw - in conversation near Lake
Pontchartrain in New Orleans in 1963. Vernon Bundy, 29, who said
he was a former heroin addict, walked over to Shaw in court, put
his hand over Shaw's head, and identified him as the man he saw
with Oswald at the lake front. Bundy said one of the men he saw
was young, the other much older. He said he heard the "young guy"
ask the older man, "What am I going to tell her?"188
The witness then said the older man handed over " a roll of
money or it appeared to be. The young guy put his hand in his
right pocket where he had a bunch of pamphlets."189
District Attorney Garrison asked Bundy to identify the
pictures. Bundy said one was of Lee Harvey Oswald, the other of
"the Shaw who has been in the papers lately." Bundy said the
pictures were of the same men he saw at the lake front in 1963.
Then he pointed out Shaw in the courtroom as one of them. Under
questioning by Garrison, Bundy described the "Older man" he saw
as "about 6-foot-1 or 6-foot-2 but I'm not sure because I'm
squatting down. He was distinguished dress, gray hair." He said
the younger man was "a junkie or beatnik guy. He was nasty. He
needed a haircut and a shave. In fact, he needed everything."190
Asked if a man named Layton Martens was Ferrie's roommate at
the time, Russo answered, "No sir." Asked what was the name of
the roommate, Russo replied, "The roommate at the Louisiana
Avenue Parkway apartment was Leon Oswald."191
Layton Martens' name as David Ferrie's roommate was supplied
by Clay Shaw, alias Clay Bertrand, through his attorneys at the
hearing. Layton Martens bore a resemblance to Lee Harvey Oswald
according to the evidence developed in the Clay Shaw proceedings.192
Russo said he saw Oswald at the apartment three or four
times. Asked the last time he saw him there, Russo said, "In the
middle of October or late September, 1963."193
There are two compelling reasons to believe that Seymour and
not Lee Harvey Oswald was the participant in the conspiracy
conversation overheard by Russo. First, Russo testified that the
Leon Oswald involved in the conversation with Ferrie and Bertrand
was the roommate of David Ferrie. It is unquestionable at the
time in question, Lee Harvey Oswald was living with his wife and
daughter on Magazine Street in New Orleans. Secondly, Lee Harvey
Oswald was rather neat and usually clean and clean-shaven,
whereas the Leon Oswald at Ferrie's apartment was dirty, unshaven
and at least, poorly groomed.
The State of Louisiana during Shaw's trial produced over
fourteen witnesses who said that in the latter part of August or
the early part of September, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, Clay Shaw
and David Ferrie went to Jackson, Louisiana, a small town located
not far from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While in Jackson, he
(Oswald) talked to witnesses in reference to his getting a job at
the East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana, and
registering to vote in that parish so as to get the job.
Witnesses were produced who talked to Lee Harvey Oswald or
someone masquerading as him.
The state proved that shortly thereafter, still in late
August or early September, 1963, the defendant, Clay L. Shaw, Lee
Harvey Oswald and David W. Ferrie drove into Clinton, Louisiana,
which is very close to Jackson, in a black Cadillac, parking the
Cadillac near the Voter Registrar's office on St. Helena Street.
While the defendant, Clay L. Shaw and David Ferrie remained in
the car, Lee Harvey Oswald got out of the car and got in line
with a group of people who were waiting to register.194
The witnesses testified that they saw the black Cadillac
parked in front of the Registrar's office and identified the
defendant, Clay L. Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and David W. Ferrie as
the individuals in that car.
Garrison introduced documentary evidence that during the
year 1966, the U.S. Post Office letter carrier for that route
delivered at least five letters to Clay Shaw's address which were
addressed to "Clem Bertrand," the name used by the defendant at
the meeting between himself, David Ferrie and William Seymour in
Ferrie's apartment in mid-September 1963. None of the letters
addressed to "Clem Bertrand" were ever returned to the postal
authorities for any reason.195
On cross-examination, testimony of Clay Shaw at this trial
in New Orleans on February 27, 1969 connected Walter Jenkins and
tied the Rome and Swiss corporations into American subsidiaries
and showed them active during the murder. The pertinent testimony
follows:

Q. Do you know Tommy Cox of Dallas, Tex?
A. Yes, I met him in New Orleans around Mardi Gras some 10
years ago. He was an occasional visitor here and we
corresponded.
Q. Have you ever visited Dallas?
A. Yes. The last time in 1966. . . .

Tommy Cox had previously told investigators that Clay Shaw
and Walter Jenkins were close personal friends and he furnished
pictures of the two of them together.

A. The Witness Clay Shaw, said he decided to take a two-
week vacation at that time and was scheduled to speak
at the San Francisco World Trade Building and
'needless to say, on the morning of Nov. 22, no
speech was given.'
Q. How were these arrangements made, Mr. Shaw?
A. By telephone.
Q. Who did you make the arrangements with?
A. A Mr. J. Monroe Sullivan. May I refresh my memory? It
was Mr. J. Monroe Sullivan, Managing Director of the
San Francisco World Trade Center. . . .

The World Trade Center is the English language translation
of Centro Mondiale Comerciale, the Rome alter ego of Permindex
and of course, the World Trade Centers visited by Shaw on the
dates of and surrounding the assassination were subsidiaries of
Centro Mondiale Comerciale and Permindex. Shaw also testified
that he met World Trade Center official, Fred Vanderhurst in Los
Angeles, Jim Dondson and Charles Walton in San Francisco and a
few days later, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Rourke in Chicago.
During the two years in which the Shaw case was pending and
at the ancillary proceedings and final trial, J. Edgar Hoover
furnished Shaw's defense with witnesses, investigators and
propaganda. Without the immense effort by J. Edgar Hoover on
Shaw's behalf, there is little question that the prosecution
would have succeeded. History has recorded the first instance of
the head of a major Federal law enforcement agency manning the
defense in a State criminal case.
Hoover's actions in providing the Shaw defense is cogent
evidence of his own guilt and this evidence is recognized in all
courts of law as proof.
Chapter XII

William Seymour, Agent for the Defense Industrial Security
Command Participates in a Murder

William Seymour came out of the rear of the Depository
Building about fifteen minutes after the assassination, ran
around the building across Dealey Plaza to enter a car and take
flight. Gordon Novel, the other fabricated Oswald, has been shown
to have been elsewhere at the times in question. All of the
following is taken from the Warren Commission evidence.
A witness, J.R. Worrel, at the time of the shooting was in
the general area across Elm Street from the Depository Building.
He saw the gun being fired from the sixth floor window but did
not get a look at him while he was firing.
After the shooting, Worrel remained in the vicinity for a
while and then proceeded across Elm Street continuing straight
ahead and traversed the east side of the Depository Building
along Housto Early during the New Orleans investigation, Jim G
Depository Building, a man Worrel identified as Lee Harvey Oswald
hurried out of the rear door to the first floor of the Depository
Building, ran to the west corner of the building and turned to
the south disappearing behind the west side of the Depository
Building in the direction of the Dealey Plaza Lawn and Elm
Street.
Dallas County Officer, Roger Craig, saw Seymour coming from
the west side of the Depository and cross the Dealey Plaza Lawn
to enter a car on Elm street. Officer Craig heard Seymour whistle
loudly as he came across the lawn. Officer Craig was the last
person to see Seymour and he testified before the Commission as
follows:

Mr. Belin: Now, about how many minutes was this after the
time that you had turned that young couple over to
Lummie Lewis that you heard this whistle?
Deputy Sheriff Roger D. Craig: Fourteen or fifteen minutes.
Craig: Yes.
Belin: Was this you mean after the shooting?
Craig: After the - from the time I heard the first shot.
Belin: All right.
Craig: Yes. So I turned and - uh - saw a man start to run
down the hill on the north side of Elm Street,
running down toward Elm Street.
Belin: And, about where was he with relation to the School
Book Depository Building?
Craig: Uh - directly across that little side street that
runs in front of it. He was on the south side of it.
Belin: And he was on the south side of what would be an
extension of Elm Street, if Elm Street didn't curve
down into the underpass?
Craig: Right, right.
Belin: And where was he in relation to the west side of the
School Book Depository Building?
Craig: Right by the - uh - well, actually, directly in line
with the west corner - the southwest corner.
Belin: He was directly in line with the southwest corner of
the building?
Craig: Yes.
Belin: And he was on the south curve of that street that
runs right in front of the building there?
Craig: Yes.
Belin: And he started to run toward Elm Street as it curves
under the underpass?
Craig: Yes, directly down the grassy portion of the park.
Belin: All right. And then what did you see happen?
Craig: I saw a light-colored station wagon driving real
slow, coming west on Elm Street from Houston. Uh -
actually, it was nearly in line with him. And the
driver was leaning to his right looking up the hill
at the man running down.
Belin: Uh-huh.
Craig: And the station wagon stopped almost directly across
from me. And - uh - the man continued down the hill
and got in the station wagon. And I attempted to
cross the street. I wanted to talk to both of them.
But the - uh - traffic was so heavy I couldn't get
across the street. And - uh - they were gone before I
could ---
Belin: Where did the station wagon head?
Craig: West on Elm St.
Belin: Under the triple underpass?
Craig: Yes.
Belin: Could you describe the man you saw running down
toward the station wagon?
Craig: On, he was a white male in his twenties, five nine,
five eight, something like that; about 140 to 150;,
had kind of medium brown sandy hair, you know, it was
like it'd been blown - you know, he'd been in the
wind or something - it was all wild looking; had on -
ju - blue trousers.
Belin: What shade of blue? Dark blue, medium or light?
Craig: No; medium, probably; I'd say medium. And, a - uh -
light tan shirt, as I remember it.
Belin: Anything else about him?
Craig: No, nothing except that he looked like he was in an
awful hurry.
Belin: What about the man who was driving the car?
Craig: Now, he struck me, as being a colored male, He was
very dark complected, had real dark short hair, and
was wearing a thin white-looking jacket - uh , it
looked like the short wind-breaker type, you know,
because it was real thin and had the collar that came
out over the shoulder (indicating with hands) Like
that - just a short jacket.
Belin: You say that he first struck you that way. Do you
think that he was a Negro?
Craig: Well, I don't - I didn't get a real good look at
him. But my first glance at him I was more interested
in the man coming down the hill - but my first glance
at him he struck me as a Negro.
Belin: Is that what your opinion is today?
Craig: Well, I - I couldn't say, because I didn't get a
good enough look at him.
Belin: What kind and what color station wagon was it?
Craig: It was light colored - almost - uh - it looked white
to me.
Belin: What model or make was it?
Craig: I thought it was a Nash.
Belin: Why would you think it was a Nash?
Craig: Because it had a built-in luggage rack on the top.
And - uh - at that time, this was the only type car I
could fit with that type luggage rack.
Belin: A Nash Rambler - is that what you're referring to?
Craig: Yes; with a rack on the back portion of the car, you
know.
Belin: Did it have a Texas license plate or not?
Craig: It had the same color. I couldn't see the - uh -
name with the numbers on it. I could just barely make
them out. They were at an angle where I couldn't make
the numbers of the -uh- any of the writing on it. But
- uh - I'm sure it was a Texas plate . . .
Belin: Anything else about the assassination that you think
might be important that we haven't discussed here?
Craig: No; except - uh - except for the fact that it came
out later that Mrs. Paine does own a station wagon
and -uh- it has a luggage rack on top. And this came
out, of course, later, after I got back to the
office. I didn't know about this. Buddy Walthers
brought it up. I believe they went by the house and
the car was parked in the driveway.

Seymour and the dark complected driver vanished under the
same underpass the stricken President passed through and Seymour
remains at large.
At 5:30 pm the same day, Craig went to City Hall where Lee
Harvey Oswald was being questioned and identified Oswald as the
man running across the lawn who entered the Nash automobile.
While at City Hall, Craig or Fritz asked Oswald who owned
the Nash (which Seymour had entered). Oswald inadvertently
revealed that he was aware of Seymour's impersonation when Oswald
replied, "That station wagon belongs to Mrs. Paine. Don't try to
tie her into this. She had nothing to do with it."
At the time Craig saw the person whom he thought to be
Oswald and who, in fact, was Seymour leaving the scene of the
assassination. Oswald was taking a bus and cab to his room in Oak
Cliff. The Commission found this to be so and the evidence
sustaining the whereabouts of Lee Harvey Oswald at this time is
substantial.
Seymour and the dark complected driver had gone to his
rendezvous as had Emilio Santana and Manuel Gonzales, the other
gunmen who had fired from the stockade fence on Dealey Plaza and
the Dal-Tex Building.
Oswald, himself, was calm and unhurried in his trip from the
Depository Building to his room but after a police car honked in
front of his rooming house, his actions changed to indicate some
type of involvement.
After knowing of the assassination, Oswald was calm and
unhurried. According to the reconstruction of time and events
which the Commission found most credible, Lee Harvey Oswald left
the building approximately three minutes after the assassination.
He walked east on Elm Street for seven blocks to the corner of
Elm and Murphy where he boarded a bus which was heading back in
the direction of the Depository Building, on its way to the Oak
Cliff section of Dallas.
When Oswald was apprehended, a bus transfer marked for the
Lakewood-Marsalis route was found in his shirt pocket. The
transfer was dated "Fri. Nov. 22, '63" and was punched in two
places by the bus driver. McWatters, a bus driver, was able to
testify that the transfer had been issued by him on a trip which
passed a checkpoint on St. Paul and Elm Streets at 12:36 pm.
McWatters was sure that he left the checkpoint on time and
he estimated that it took him three to four minutes to drive
three blocks west from the checkpoint to Field Street, which he
reached at about 12:40 pm. McWatters' recollection is that he
issued this transfer to a man who entered his bus just beyond
Field Street. About two blocks later, he got off the bus. The man
was on the bus approximately four minutes.
Riding on the bus was an elderly woman, Mary Bledsoe, who
confirmed the evidence of the transfer. Oswald had rented a room
from Mrs. Bledsoe about six weeks before, on October 7th. On
November 22nd, Mrs. Bledsoe came downtown to watch the
Presidential motorcade. She boarded the Marsalis bus at St. Paul
and Elm Streets to return home. Mrs. Bledsoe stated that she was
certain it was Oswald; who boarded the bus.
William Whaley, a taxicab driver, told his employer on
Saturday morning, November 23rd, that he recognized Oswald from a
newspaper photograph as a man whom he had driven to the Oak Cliff
area the day before. The man asked, "May I have the cab?", and
got into the front seat. Whaley described the ensuing events as
follows; "And about that time, an old lady, I think she was an
old lady, I don't remember nothing but her sticking her head down
past him in the door and said, 'Driver, will you call me a cab
down here?' She had seen him get this cab and she wanted one,
too, and he opened the door a little bit like he was going to get
out and he said, 'I will let you have this one, ' and she said,
'No, the driver can call me one'."
On November 22nd, Oswald told Captain Fritz that he rode a
bus to a stop near his home and then walked to his rooming house.
When queried the following morning concerning a bus transfer
found in his possession, he admitted receiving it. And when
interrogated about a cab ride, Oswald also admitted that he left
the slow-moving bus and took a cab to his rooming house.
The Greyhound Bus Station at Lamar and Jackson Streets,
where Oswald entered Whaley's cab, is three to four blocks south
of Lamar and Elm. If he was discharged at Neely and Beckley and
walked directly to his rooming house, he would have arrived there
about 12:50 to 1:00 pm. From the 500 block of North Beckley, the
walk would be a few minutes longer, but in either event he would
have been in the rooming house at about 1:00 pm. This is the
approximate time he entered the rooming house, according to
Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper there.
While Oswald was in the house, Mrs. Earlene Roberts, his
housekeeper, testified that a police car containing two men drove
up and honked.

Ball: When was that? (Police car honking)
Mrs. Roberts: He came in the house. (Oswald)
Ball: When he came in the house?
Mrs. Roberts: When he came in the house and went to his
room....
Ball: Yes.
Mrs. Roberts: Right direct in front of that door - there
was a police car stopped and honked. . . .
Ball: You mean, it was not the car of the policemen you
knew?
Mrs. Roberts: It wasn't the police car I knew, because
their number was 170 and it wasn't 170 . . .
Ball: Where was it parked?
Mrs. Roberts: It was parked in front of the house . . .
Dr. Goldberg: Which way was the car facing?
Mrs. Roberts: It was facing north.
Dr. Goldberg: Toward Zangs?
Mrs. Roberts: Towards Zangs . . .
Ball: Did this police car stop directly in front of your
house?
Mrs. Roberts: Yes - it stopped directly in front of my
house. . . .
Ball: Where was Oswald when this happened?
Mrs. Roberts: In his room.
Ball: You remembered the number of the car?
Mrs. Roberts: I think it was - 106, it seems to be like it
was 106 . . .
Ball: Did you report that number to anyone, did you report
this incident to anyone?
Mrs. Roberts: Yes, I told the FBI and the Secret Service
both when they was out there . . .
Ball: Did you say there were two uniformed policemen in the
car?
Mrs. Roberts: Yes, and it was in a black car. It wasn't an
accident squad car at all.
Ball: Were there two uniformed policemen in the car?
Mrs. Roberts: Oh, yes.
Ball: And one of the officers sounded the horn?. . . .

Oswald then left the house and the Commission found he
killed Dallas Police Officer Tippit about a mile from the room.
Although there is compelling evidence that someone else killed
Tippit, the Commission cited sufficient evidence to sustain their
conclusion.
At approximately 1:15 pm, Tippit, who was cruising west on
10th Street, passed the intersection of 10th and Patton about
eight blocks from where he had reported at 12:54 pm. About one
hundred feet past the intersection, Tippit stopped a man walking
east along the south side of Patton. The man was bushy headed and
stocky built. Tippit stopped the man and called him to his car.
The bushy headed and stocky man approached the car and apparently
exchanged words with Tippit through the right front or vent
window.
Tippit got out and started to walk around the front of the
car. As Tippit reached the left front wheel, the man pulled out a
revolver and fired several shots. The bullets hit Tippit and
killed him instantly . The gunman started back toward Patton
Avenue, ejecting the empty cartridge cases and leaving them to
later inculpate Oswald.
About twelve persons saw the man with the revolver in the
vicinity of the Tippit crime scene at or immediately after the
shooting. By the evening of November 22nd, seven of them had
refused to identify Lee Harvey Oswald in police lineups as the
man they saw.
Several said the murderer was short and squat - Oswald was
thin and medium height - and another said that two men were
involved. The Warren Commission's own chronology of Oswald's
movements fails to allow him sufficient time to reach the scene
of Tippit's murder from the Book Depository Building.
Four cartridges were found at the scene of the slaying.
Revolvers do not eject cartridges, so when someone is shot, you
don't later find gratuitous cartridges strewn over the sidewalk -
unless the murderer deliberately takes the trouble to eject them.
Of the four cartridges found at the scene, two were
Winchesters and two were Remingtons - but of the four bullets
found in Officer Tippit's body, three were Winchesters and one
was a Remington.
The real killer of Tippit hid in a cavernous building at the
corner of Tenth and Crawford which in 1963 was known as the
Abundant Life Temple. In an aerial view of the area, the
Commission traced the killer's escape path from the scene near
Tenth and Patton to Jefferson Boulevard one block south, thence
to the Texaco service station one block west at Jefferson and
Crawford.
A "white jacket" was found at the rear of the station, which
the Commission said was Oswald's. Consequently it had to have the
killer reverse his path so as to bring him back onto Jefferson.
The killer proceeded straight ahead from the rear of the
Texaco station, across an alley and into the rear door of the
Abundant Life Temple. This view is corroborated by police radio
logs.
Shortly after 1:40 pm, Sergeant Hill came on the air: "A
witness reports that he last was seen in the Abundant Life Temple
about the 400 block. We are fixing to go in and shake it down."
On an alternate channel, Car 95 ordered, "Send me another squad
over here to Tenth and Crawford to check out this church
basement."
The Texas Theatre is on the north side of Jefferson
Boulevard, approximately fourteen blocks from the scene of the
Tippit shooting and twelve blocks from where several witnesses
last saw Tippit's killer running toward the Abundant Life Church
one block north of Jefferson.
At 1:45 pm, patrol cars bearing at least fifteen officers
converged on the Texas Theatre. Patrolman M.N. McDonald, with
Patrolmen R. Hawkins, T.A. Hutson and C.T. Walker, entered the
front door and searched the balcony. The man arrested was Oswald.
He was sitting alone in the rear of the main floor of the theatre
near the right center aisle. About six or seven people were
seated on the theater's main floor and an equal number in the
balcony.
McDonald gave the binding proof that Oswald could not have
murdered Tippit. Oswald snapped the trigger and his gun could not
fire because the firing pin was broken. Oswald's pistol could not
fire so he could not have killed Tippit a few minutes before his
arrest in possession of the useless pistol which could not be
fired under any circumstances.
There is a rule of evidence in American jurisprudence
concerning a pattern of events showing a design or plan. "A
design, plan or intention may be evidenced circumstantially by
conduct showing it. The kinds of conduct usable for this purpose
are infinite in variety. In general, however, it may be said that
any act which under the circumstances and in the light of
experience would indicate a probable design is admissible."
Every experienced trial lawyer and criminal investigator is
well versed in the doctrine of "the Red Herring". The oldest and
most common of tactics is the employment of a device or artifice
in leading the minds of pursuers of the true facts, whoever they
might be, from the trail of logic leading to the perpetrator of
an unlawful act. Such arts and wiles have been with the human
race since there has been one. The devices may vary but their
pattern never does.
It appears that the first and principle red herring in the
present case was Lee Harvey Oswald. The various actions of
Oswald, Seymour and Novel were designed to lead anyone looking at
them to take the actions as all being the actions of Oswald and
thus, lead the investigators to believe Oswald was the
perpetrator in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he
was acting alone.
It further appears that the second and substitute red
herring was to go into effect only in the event it should be
discovered that a conspiracy existed. The various connections of
Oswald with the pro-Castro organization and Seymour with the anti-
Castro Cubans and others was likely designed to lead a false
trail of evidence to suspects other than the person or persons
responsible.
In any event, it is not necessary that the theory of the
secondary red herring be correct in order to convict Seymour for
the murder of President Kennedy. Seymour was weaving a web of
culpatory evidence tying Oswald to the assassination for at least
five months before it occurred.
Seymour first appeared in the evidence of Attorney Dean
Andrews in New Orleans during June and July of 1963. On June 5th,
President Kennedy at a meeting with the Vice President and the
Governor of Texas agreed to come to Texas during the latter part
of November, 1963. After June 5th, the planned trip became known
in many quarters.
Andrews said Seymour was asking about getting his wife's
citizenship papers and changing Marine Corps discharge papers. He
was accompanied by two Mexican Americans who were apparent
homosexuals. Andrews said Seymour was the "real guy" who killed
the President. Seymour visited Pe a's bar in New Orleans in
company with a Latin man and became ill after drinking too much.
This occurred around the middle of August, 1963.
On September 17th or 18th, he appeared in Mexico City in the
company of a Negro and Latin man and the discussed killing of
someone was heard and a large sum of money was passed to Seymour.
On September 25th, he was seen in Austin, Texas by three
witnesses and Seymour told one of them he had been to Governor
John Connally's office. On the night of the same day, a man
impersonating Oswald called the leader of the Socialist Labor
Party in Houston.
On the night of September 26th or 27th, Seymour was a
visitor under the name Leon Oswald to anti-Castroite, Mrs. Sylvia
Odio and her sister in Dallas. He was accompanied by Leopoldo
again and a third man called Angelo.
Leopoldo told the two women "Leon Oswald" had spoke of the
possibility of assassinating Kennedy and that Leon had been in
the Marine Corps and was a crack shot. This evidence standing
alone is sufficient enough to convict all three of a conspiracy.
Seymour and Novel were seen with Jack Ruby in the Carousel
Club and other places in Dallas in October and November by such a
large number of witnesses, the investigators could not locate and
list them all. However, a large number testified to seeing them
together and a Dallas attorney overheard them discussing
Seymour's assassination of another person.
Seymour impersonated Oswald in an attempt to connect Oswald
to a rifle by using his name at a gun shop in Irving. He tried to
show Oswald was expecting a large sum of money by saying he was
while trying out a car in Dallas. He appeared at a grocery store
as Oswald and at a barber shop he made leftist remarks. During
the barber shop, furniture store and grocery store appearances,
in Irving, Texas, he was accompanied by Marina or a woman
impersonating her. Seymour gave the name Oswald and attempted to
cash a large check at the grocery store.
Seymour, as was necessary, kept his rifle practice dates to
sharpen his precision for the assignment. As the dates for
President Kennedy's visit drew near, Seymour's rifle practice
sessions increased and two a day were not unusual. The number of
disinterested witnesses to his practice sessions were
overwhelming. A "sporterized Mauser" was used by Seymour in many
of the target practice appearances.
A Mauser was brought to the School Book Depository Building,
and Truly and two employees were seen with it two days before the
assassination. The five police officers who first discovered the
rifle on the sixth floor of the Depository Building after the
murder described it as a 7.65 Mauser.
Eyewitnesses described an assassin firing from the sixth
floor of the Depository Building at the moment President Kennedy
was killed as resembling Lee Harvey Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald was
shown in a picture taken as the shots were being fired to be
standing at the entrance to the Depository Building. Witnesses
further proved that Oswald did not come downstairs past the fifth
floor before Baker and Truly met him on the second floor.
Then the cheek and hand paraffin test was given Oswald and
it proved he had not fired a rifle. The cheek test was negative.
After the assassination, a witness sees a man resembling
Oswald come out the rear of the Depository Building and run
around the building towards Dealey Plaza. Deputy Sheriff Craig
sees the man coming from behind the building, crossing Dealey
Plaza and entering an automobile which drove under the triple
underpass and disappeared from view. Craig identified the person
as Lee Harvey Oswald but Oswald was definitely established to
have been well into his bus trip to the room on Beckley and away
from the scene of the assassination at the time.
There are many rules of evidentiary law which apply,
especially to the facts in Seymour's case.
First, the rule which provides that if a party fabricates
evidence, the act of fabrication may be used against him to show
a consciousness of guilt. Next, the guilty actions or conduct of
a party may be shown as evidence of guilty knowledge. Then, when
a party takes flight or avoids detection, this too may be shown
as evidence of a guilty conscious and of guilty knowledge. Also,
when circumstances are shown which lead to no other conclusion
but the guilt of the party, no direct evidence is necessary.
However, in Seymour's case the direct evidence of
eyewitnesses who saw him in the act of shooting the President of
the United States had been documented.

Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal

by William Torbitt

CHAPTER XIII

CONCLUSION

Suppressed in the Archives are two Commission Documents
which corroborate the large portion of facts contained herein.
They are:

1. Fascists and Nazis today, Albin Michel, Paris
Document No. 1096
2. Bundesnachrichtendienst file
Document No. 597

In letters smuggled from jail, Jack Ruby constantly said
that Nazis and Fascists were behind the Kennedy murder. Ruby was
much more knowledgeable about the conspiracy than most.
On September 9, 1965, in Judge Louis Holland's court, Ruby
disregarded his lawyers who were telling him to be quiet and
declared that there was a conspiracy in high places behind
Kennedy's assassination. Various news reports related that he
said "people in high places" had suppressed information about
Oswald and about Ruby; said, as his lawyers tried to push TV
microphones away from his face, "The world has the right to hear
the truth"; said that Oswald knew Kennedy was coming to Dallas
even before Kennedy knew it and that newsmen should search "in
the high sources of our political government" to find out how
Oswald got a job at the Depository on the motorcade route; said
that the full story of the assassination would not come out
because "unfortunately some people in high places had so much to
gain by putting me in this position", and when asked to elaborate
on this, said that the results of the lie detector test had not
been divulged, and said that there was a "terrible conspiracy"
behind Kennedy's death and he, Ruby, "happened to be a scapegoat
to walk into a trap and make that possible."
Ruby's lawyer Sam Houston Clinton says that during a routine
hearing he believes was on March 31, 1966, he was seated beside
Ruby, and that a reporter stuck a mike in front of Ruby,
whereupon Ruby said that people just didn't understand and that
if he ever got a chance to tell his story, they would know that
"if Adlai Stevenson had been Vice President, Kennedy would still
be alive today."
After Ruby died, the Associated Press' Bernard Gayzer
reported his accusations against the Nazis and Fascists and
added, "Jack Ruby also complained that his cancer was induced
secretly in jail. . . . (He) was certain it had been injected
into him." New fragments of the story were published elsewhere.
The St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch reported that one of its
columnists, Bill Diehl, had bought a letter Ruby had written from
his jail cell. The seller: Charles Hamilton Autographs, Inc. in
New York, which in turn reportedly bought it and four or five
others like it, from a jail trusty, Thomas E. Miller. In Diehl's
letter, the paper said, Ruby wrote that Johnson "found me as the
perfect setup for a frame. Remember they had the President
killed, and now with me in the picture, they'll make it look as
though Castro or the Russians had it done. Remember the only one
who had all to gain was Johnson himself. Figure that out. "
This report is not to criticize actions on the part of
anyone. It is simply a report of the facts with full
documentation. The actions of the participants stand as criticism
enough for their various roles in the illegal and immoral affair,
and James Earl Ray's report that federal agents killed Dr. King
is compelling evidence that the organization was still going
about its objective in 1969 in the same ruthless manner and using
the same modus operandi as is revealed in this document.
It should be pointed out, that during a few years following
John Kennedy's murder, the crime rate in the United States had
more than doubled. Public opinion surveys during the time
reflected about 80% of the people did not believe the Warren
Commission Report. The general public felt someone or some group
had been behind the murder of John F. Kennedy and the guilty ones
had not been punished. Such an attitude on the part of the public
leads to a gradual breakdown of law, order and morals of the
society.
All Penal Codes in the history of nations have set out a
twofold purpose. The number one and cardinal purpose of a Penal
Code is to deter crime. The secondary purpose is to reform the
offender. There is a basic reason for deterrence of crime to be
the principle purpose of a criminal code. That is, those who are
inclined to commit crime view the prosecution of all criminal
acts of others and they are not willing to face the consequences
when their own prosecution seems certain. Therefore, crime is
reduced and thus deterred.
However, when the head of the National Police Agency joins
with a handful of other government leaders and they both in turn
throw in with crime to murder a president, (and the people have
an uneasy feeling that something of this nature has taken place)
it is only natural that crime and violence increase. The basic
deterrent to crime has broken down.
Also, the national morals by way of osmosis are gradually
lowered and a hardness and cynicism develops among the people
which allows lower and lower moral standards in the society
affected. Thus the United States has had reports of murder by the
Southeastern Asian Command of the Green Berets of hundreds of
agents employed by them. These murders were carried out in
violation of all codes of moral conduct only on the whims or
suspicions of the Green Berets that the murdered Beret agents did
not measure up to what the command felt was proper behavior. The
reports included that Mafia type weighting of the murdered bodies
and dumping them into the South China Sea occurred. No punishment
was afforded the guilty U.S. personnel for their acts.
The reports on the regular news media of a Mafia type
operation by the Generals and Master Sergeants in the Pentagon on
a world wide basis involving millions of dollars in kickbacks and
rake-offs drew very little interest or criticism.
During the last years of the Johnson administration, crime
after crime among officials was reported across the land.
Jack Kennedy's last executive order stated that 1,000 troops
would be brought home from Viet Nam by Christmas, 1963. The
dispatch reported this would leave 11,000 non-combatants in Viet
Nam, all of which would be removed by the end of 1964. Thus, in
his last official act, the slain President evidenced his
opposition to involving ourselves in the Southeastern Asia civil
wars.196
Less than one year after Kennedy's death, responsible
Senators reported the Johnson administration staged a false
incident in the Tonkin Gulf. The U.S. went to war. The munitions
makers and their police force, the Defense Industrial Security
Command, were well paid.
Then, in 1969, there came to light that, during the last
year of Johnson's Commander-in-Chief status, in March of 1968 to
be exact, a Viet Nam order to destroy certain villages and to
kill the inhabitants. An army photographer who observed one of
the massacres was Sergeant Ronald L. Haeberle. He said:

At about 5:30 in the morning of March 16, I left where I was
stationed, Duc Pho, by helicopter for Task Force Barker.
That is an outlying area from the base camp. I was supposed
to hook up here with C Company. I hooked up with C Company
at 6 or 6:30 . . around sunrise.

No one really explained the mission, but from what I heard
from the men, it was suspected that these villagers were
Viet Cong sympathizers and it was thought there were Viet
Cong there . . . I was going in with the second group of men
. . .

We landed in the rice paddies and I heard gunfire from the
village itself, but we were still on the outside of the
village.

There were some South Vietnamese people, maybe 15 of them,
women and children included, walking on a dirt road maybe
100 yards away. All of a sudden, the GI's just opened up
with M16's. Besides the M16 fire, they were shooting at the
people with M79 grenade launchers. I couldn't believe what I
was seeing.

As they moved in, closer to the village, they just kept
shooting at people. I remember this man distinctly, holding
a small child in one arm and another child in the other,
walking toward us. They saw us and were pleading. The little
girl was saying, 'no no' in English. Then all of a sudden a
burst of fire and they were cut down. They were about 20
feet away. One machine gunner did it. He'd opened up . . .

I had been on the ground maybe 45 minutes at this point. Off
to the left, a group of people, women, children and babies,
were standing around. The machine gunner was standing in
front of them with the ammo bearer and all of a sudden I
heard this fire and here this machine gunner had opened up
on all these people in the big circle and they were trying
to run. I don't know how many got out . . .

The some GI's went over to a pile where there were four
people and one GI leaned over a guy who was still alive and
finished him.

There were two small children, a very young boy and a
smaller boy, maybe 4 or 5 years old. A guy with an M16 fired
at them, at the first boy, and the older boy fell over to
protect the smaller boy . . Then they fired six more shots
and just let them lie.

I left the village around 11 o'clock that morning. I saw
clumps of bodies and I must have seen as many as 100 killed.
It was done very businesslike.

Haeberle said he later saw a news story of C Company's
operation in the hamlet, listing a large number of Viet Cong
killed.
Horrible pictures kept coming: of American boys with
belching machine guns killing over 560 human beings in just one
village; of burning homes in Viet Nam; of a five year old putting
his arm around his little brother as the bullets struck; of
innocent dead babies and small children and more dead babies held
by their dead mothers; the grotesque stacks of human bodies of
civilians, women and children totally reminiscent of the Nazi
massacres and atrocities of World War II; and of a mother begging
for the lives of her five children and in the next instant, the
bullets slamming into the entire family group; and of U.S.
soldiers dropping prisoners of war from airplanes to their deaths
in order to obtain confessions from their fellow prisoners.197
Reports kept coming in of one atrocity after another being
committed by American boys under command level orders. The
Pentagon had brutalized our young men but the Pentagon would try
a scapegoat or two and salve the American conscience. The was not
sufficient.
A purgative from within will be needed to restore a moral
balance to the Nation. The arrest, trial and punishment of the
individuals guilty of the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy are the only steps which would provide that purgative.
Aristotle the Greek said "Tragedy moves from pity - to
terror - to cleansing catharsis." Pity was all evident
immediately after the President's death. Terror in the late
1960's followed. Only cleansing catharsis by application of the
criminal laws to the high and low alike in the cabal will restore
the former high collective national conscience.
Law and order return after the catharsis.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR, WILLIAM TORBITT

The author is a lawyer in the southwestern part of the
United States with twenty years trial experience. For two years,
he served as a prosecuting attorney in criminal cases during
1949, 1950 and part of 1951. He has engaged in both civil and
criminal practices and is licensed in all state and federal
courts in his areas and the court of tax appeals.
The author is a typically conservative and successful
attorney belonging to the American Trial Lawyers Association, all
of his area bar associations, Kiwanis and local civic clubs. He
is a family man and is highly respected in the courts before
which he practices. He is not critical of the Warren Commission
or of any other national agency in connection with the
assassination.
The author has participated in cases in the southwest where
professional Mexican assassins have been used to commit political
murder. He has also participated in the trial of cases in the
southwest involving gunrunning activities through Mexico to Cuba,
both before Castro was successful and after Castro succeeded and
became the subject of overthrow by gunrunners from the southwest.
Close relatives of the gambling syndicate members have used
the legal services of Torbitt in complicated cases involving
tracing financial dealings of organized crime in Texas and their
foreign connecting links.
More important, William Torbitt has been a member of the
strong supporters of Lyndon Johnson since 1948. He supported John
Connally in the gubernatorial race of 1962 and earlier was
closely associated in the successful congressional race of Lloyd
Bentsen in the Texas Valley adjacent to the Mexican border.
Torbitt was also a key political backer of Texas Governor, Allan
Shivers.
The author remained close to the conservative Connally-
Johnson political organization and was personally acquainted with
most of the people he writes about until he left them in 1963.
Torbitt remains active in Texas Valley - Mexico border
politics but at a subdued pace. During his term as prosecutor, he
was deeply involved in the investigations and prosecutions of the
gambling syndicate and Mafia operations in Texas.
Except for five years foreign service in the U.S. Navy
during World War II, Torbitt is a life long resident of Texas. He
holds his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
The author says "The Fascist cabal who assassinated John
Kennedy planned to lay the blame on honest right-wing
conservatives, if their first ploy, to lay the blame on Oswald
and the Communists was not bought."
The author set out in this work simply to analyze, bring
together and present his personal knowledge and the evidence
which has been gathered by the Warren Commission, Jim Garrison
and all other investigative agencies connected with the case. As
is the office of a lawyer, he makes legal deductions from the
evidence gathered but consistently refuses to speculate on the
evidence even when some speculation is warranted. He says that
speculation is a close kin to rumor and, consequently, he resorts
only to those legal deductions which courts allow a lawyer to
make from the court approved and documented evidence.
This work is an enlargement of a working paper furnished to
Torbitt by two agents - one with the Customs Department and one
other with the Narcotics Bureau. For obvious reason, their
identities must be protected, but the author gives highest credit
to the investigative work of the two well-informed officers.
The author especially credits the working paper of the two
agents with revealing the heretofore highly secret Defense
Industrial Security Command and its intelligence assignments on
behalf of the munitions and aerospace manufacturers.
The fascistic totalitarian secret police agency is even
stronger and more devious in 1970 and threatens our democracy, he
says.198

You are right, Chive, but, in fact you could go further than that. The
evidence does not merely show that the fatal injuries "could" have
predated Feb 4 (the day Matthew was rushed to hospital), but that they
definitely were old injuries, well into the healing stages. If anyone
wants to see the medical evidence which proves this beyond any possible
argument, I will happily post it here.

But the really astonishing thing about this case is that the
prosecutors, police and doctors knew this all along, and yet still not
only proceeded with the case against Louise Woodward, but began what was
to become one of the most outrageous judicial conspiracies ever seen,
involving the hiding, burial and destruction of exculpatory medical
evidence, perjury by police officers, the bribing of journalists to
write outrageous lies about the defendant in the months leading up to
the trial for the purpose of polluting the jury pool, the blackmailing
of doctors - who were to appear as prosecution witnesses - into lying
about their findings and interpretation of the evidence, the buying off
of another witness (Kathleen Sorabella) who has been proven not only to
have lied, under oath, about the defendant, but to have been given those
lies to tell by the prosecution. Ms. Sorabella, a petty criminal,
slipped up badly during her testimony by including certain facts that
she could not possibly have known unless the prosecutors had secretly
briefed her before the trial. All of this, and much more, is proven, on
record and available in greater detail to anyone who wants to see the
full extent of this criminal conspiracy by those wielding power in
Massachusetts.

The obvious question this raises is: WHY? Why would these people go to
such lengths, risking so much, just to frame a teenage au pair? It all
seemed far-fetched until a vital piece in the jigsaw was found. And it
was this crucial information that those behind the frame-up had
desperately tried to hush up.

Dr. Eli Newberger was head of the child protection team at Boston
Children’s Hospital. Dr. Newberger examined Matthew Eappen on Feb 5,
1997, the day after he was admitted. It was Newberger’s report that led
to the immediate arrest of Louise Woodward on suspicion of battery. That
report claimed that Matthew Eappen had been violently shaken on Feb 4,
during a period when only Louise Woodward was with him, and, moreover,
that during that same period Matthew’s head had been slammed against a
hard surface with a force equal to him falling, head first, from 15ft
onto hard concrete.

Both of those claims were totally false. Matthew was not violently
shaken, as is proved by the absence of neck & spine injuries, axonal
shearing and shearing of inter-meningal vascular tissue. The skull
fracture was linear rather than depressed. Linear fractures are
relatively minor injuries which can be sustained from very low impact,
such as a baby’s head accidentally being knocked against the side of a
cot as the baby is lifted. A head first fall from 15ft onto concrete
could not possibly leave a baby with a mere linear fracture. And you
don’t have to be any kind of expert to know that following such a fall,
or equivalent impact, a baby would sustain external injuries - cuts,
bruises, etc. But Matthew’s head had not a single mark on it. No cuts,
bruises, grazes or bumps. No blood whatsoever.

Newberger is not a fool; he knew all this. He was lying. But why? And
why did he, from that day onwards, treat this case with such fanatical
zeal such as he had never before displayed in any of the thousands of
cases he had previously been involved in? His testimony during the trial
has been described as the most over-the-top performance ever seen by a
medical witness in a murder trial. Even other supporters of the
prosecution have questioned why he appeared so obsessed with influencing
the jury and why he seemed to be on some fanatical personal crusade in
this case.

The answer to all this is that Eli Newberger is a very close personal
friend of the baby’s mother, Deborah Eappen. They have known each other
for a number of years. So when Dr. Newberger was told that a baby named
Matthew Eappen had been admitted to the hospital, he immediately
recognized the name. He knew Matthew well - his mother had taken him to
Dr. Newberger’s home on a number of occasions, as has been confirmed by
Newberger’s former housekeeper. But - and here is the very strange thing
- he never mentioned this to anyone.

Now supposing Newberger had told the truth. What if he had been honest
in his report about the fact that Matthew’s injuries were several weeks
old? Then the police would have had no choice: they would have had to
investigate every person who had come into contact with Matthew during
that period. But by lying, Newberger was able to ensure that there was
only one possible suspect - Louise Woodward. His plan worked; she was
arrested later that day and, because of the faith the DA and police put
in Newberger’s report, both the Eappen parents were in the clear, at
least for a while.

But Newberger knew that would not be the end of it. There were other
doctors involved who also knew that Matthew’s injuries were weeks old.
They would have to be won over. Also there was a great deal of physical
evidence - the skull fracture which had lipped rather than sharp edges
(proof of an old fracture), the dura (the membrane lining the skull),
etc. In the event of Matthew dying, these and other items would have to
be destroyed, lest Louise Woodward’s lawyers might use them to prove
their client’s innocence. Those lawyers and their own medical experts
would also have to be prevented from attending the autopsy too. And
there was also the highly inconvenient police report submitted by Det.
Sgt. Byrne to his boss, Captain Marchand. Byrne had interviewed Louise
Woodward the previous day and had reported that there were no suspicious
circumstances. He even described Louise as a "borderline hero" for the
way she acted so swiftly in giving Matthew mouth to mouth resuscitation
and calling the emergency services. If there was to be any hope of this
frame-up working, Byrne was going to have to be forced to change that
story. And other cops, too, would need to be persuaded to lie about
events earlier that day when they arrived in response to the 911 call.

Enter District Attorney Thomas Reilly, a long term ally of Newberger’s
- the two had worked together on many other cases, including the trial
of the Amiraults. This was the man who could arrange for cops to lie,
evidence to go missing, doctors to be "heavied" into pretending to
believe the "junk science" they were to be given as scripts, and
journalists to be paid off to feed all manner of lies about Louise
Woodward to the community from which the jurors would be selected. And
this was the man with the power to manipulate events to ensure that
Louise Woodward would be denied bail, and thus be safely locked away in
Framingham jail, where she would be unable to answer the lies, pending
her trial.

Later I will post the details of how Reilly did all those things and
much more.
