In other words, there were honest FBI people who were going out, after the assassination, and doing honest investigative work, and filing honest reports. But these reports were thrown in with other reports of dubious authenticity; reports which can be demonstrated to be phony -- false. And then, from the very top, J. Edgar Hoover and his top echelon was able to reach into this smorgasbord of evidence and pull out, selectively, whatever case they wanted to present to the public. GARY NULL: There is one other character whom you didn't mention, though I'm sure you're aware of, and that is: JFK had replaced Allen Dulles as the head of the CIA, and Allen Dulles ends up being one of the key people on the Warren Commission. JIM MARRS: Exactly. Isn't that like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse? GARY NULL: And there was no man in the history of the intelligence community, before or since, who's ever been as connected to everything within the intelligence apparatus -- and very much a hands-on person -- as Allen Dulles. JIM MARRS: That's true. And let me point out that during the Warren Commission hearings, the allegation came up, just as it's still alive today, that Lee Harvey Oswald was a U.S. intelligence agent. His wife and his mother have both publicly stated that this was so. So they asked Allen Dulles while they were meeting with the Warren Commission -- they said: If he had been an agent with the CIA, and you were still the head of the CIA, would you admit it? And he said, "No." They said: You would lie about it? He said: Yes, I would. And so, that's kind of where we are. I would point out that this current committee in Congress that's debating whether or not to open up the files on the Kennedy Assassination ..... the very first item that they have listed that they would shield -- that they would keep files hidden on -- is to protect the identity of a U.S. agent. Well, that's kind of a catch-22. If Oswald was indeed a U.S. agent, then by the parameters set by the new Congressional committee, they can't release any information about it. Isn't that something? GARY NULL: Okay. Well, in any case, we all know that anything the CIA is going to release is going to be COMPLETELY on their side. Any damaging files, they will have destroyed or not turned over. JIM MARRS: You know, let's not forget, by the way, that [President] Gerald Ford, when he was on the committee, was virtually an informant for J. Edgar Hoover. GARY NULL: I was not aware of that. Let's quickly go through the other inconsistencies and disinformation from Dealey Plaza. JIM MARRS: Well, of course, there's just a plethora of information there. Beginning with the fact that the majority of people said that the shots came, not from the School Book Depository, but from down near the triple underpass, from behind the picket fence on the Grassy Knoll. There are even eyewitnesses such as Malcolm Summers and Jean Hill and Sam Holland and the railroad people who actually said they saw the flash of light, saw the figure under the trees, and saw smoke drift out from under the trees. And there's a point there too. For years, apologists for the Government have claimed: Well, there couldn't have been smoke because even if there had been somebody there with a high-power rifle, modern rifles do not smoke. Well, being the owner of several bolt-action rifles myself, I can assure you that if you have one that's freshly oiled, you'll get a nice white puff of smoke. And sure enough, in a film made by a newsman named Dave Wegman, we have a frame showing Kennedy's car, with the stricken President, just beginning to enter the triple underpass. And hanging in the air, coming right off the Grassy Knoll, is an obvious white puff of smoke. So these people were all telling the truth, and it is the Government that has lied all these years. We've got Beverly Oliver who was taking film from the south side of Elm Street, and she had her film taken by men who identified themselves as FBI agents. And there's a point there. In the hours following the assassination, and for several weeks, and in fact, all the way up into the summer of 1964 when the Warren Commission was already writing their report saying that Oswald was the lone assassin, the FBI was in Dallas, actively, in the newspaper and on the radio, asking people to turn in their films, their photographs, any pictures they had taken in Dealey Plaza; and, of course, ostensibly to investigate, to help solve the crime. The fact is that very few of those people ever got their pictures or their films back. And so, all these years I've had people saying: Well look, if there's a big conspiracy, where's the evidence? Well heck! They TOOK the evidence up. They just took it away. So there was an ongoing, concerted effort to take up evidence and to hide anything that would point to the reality of what went on. And the witnesses, the majority of whom said that shots came from the Grassy Knoll, were discredited, were laughed at, and were ignored. GARY NULL: Alright. Let's go through a few of the particulars here: the lack of Secret Service agents protecting the roofs, and the speed of the motorcade. Those are two primary issues that have not been properly addressed. JIM MARRS: Okay. Number one: the security for the motorcade. A lot of people don't understand, Gary, that that motorcade that Kennedy was in in Dallas, where he met his death, that was the SECOND motorcade of that day. Earlier in the morning, Kennedy rode in a motorcade from downtown Fort Worth out to Carswell Air Force Base where he boarded Air Force One for the short hop over to Dallas. Now, having been a police reporter there in Fort Worth starting way back in the mid-60s, I came into contact with a lot of police and sheriff's people and everybody else who participated in that motorcade. And they said that security was especially tight, and that they had orders to keep people off of the overpasses and off of bridges that would overlook the motorcade route -- that they had armed men stationed on rooftops, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Most importantly, they had orders that there were to be no open windows facing the mototcade route. And, in fact, they had orders to go into buildings and close windows if they saw a window go up along the motorcade route. NONE of this was done in Dallas. NONE OF IT ! (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If I can arm you with the vital truth that will awaken you to the realization that this power elite was able to terrorize the People of the United States by scattering their president's brains onto the streets of one of our cities, when they could have less flagrantly induced a fatal disease in him .... If I can give you the mass-media-concealed information that you need to understand that they had to blow out the brains of President Kennedy in full view of the American People in order to instill fear and despair in the People and in all future presidents, and in order to then proceed, no longer obstructed, to slaughter fifty-eight thousand young Americans of my generation and to slaughter two million Vietnamese people .... If I can arm you with these realizations, then my efforts will have been partially successful. As I see it, the best way that you and I can reap a harvest from the seeds of realization that are being planted here is for each of us to join together to combine our individual strengths into one huge arm powerful enough to wield the awesome sword of the law, forged in Constitutionality, against the totalitarian forces who are subverting our Government and gradually herding us all into subjugation. And so I urge you to contact either one of two legal institutes that I know of having the courage, the resolve and the respect for justice necessary to serve as that sword of legality: William Davis Ramsey Clark The Christic Institute International Action Center 8773 Venice Blvd. 39 West 14th St., suite 206 Los Angeles, CA 90034 New York, NY 10011 1(310)287-1556 1(212)633-6646 John DiNardo ~~~ ~~~
