New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) GARY NULL: This program is a continuation of our ongoing series titled: "Hidden Agendas: Conspiracies, Cover-Ups and Lies" at the highest levels of our Government, in regard to deceptions foisted upon the American People regarding essential information about the roles of Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald in the John F. Kennedy Assassination. We have been led to believe that the Warren Commission Report was the first and last word on this case. Many individuals are challenging that. We have invited those individuals to share with us insights, documentation and other information, much of it being revealed here, for the first time, to the American People. Please excuse the poor broadcast quality today because I am not in the studio. I'm not in New York. I'm about five thousand miles away from New York, continuing to do investigations on this. I'm tracking certain ballistic and forensic information, and I'm interviewing people who, hitherto, have not been heard by the American People so that I can bring you new information. On our conference line right now are two individuals who have some unique insights: Jack Schweick[sp], who has written on Oswald, especially about the Atsugi [Naval Air] Base in Japan. He was in intelligence before being in the Marines. He has sued the CIA for files. And we'll learn about the alleged fourty-four drawers of files on Oswald and also [on] all the people on that base, and what Lee Harvey Oswald was doing there. Also, we have Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. Now Colonel Prouty is a unique individual in this scheme of things. In the movie, JFK, it was Donald Sutherland who portrayed the role of L. Fletcher Prouty or some facsimile of his role. L. Fletcher Prouty was Chief of Special Operations of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff, and he established worldwide offices. He was a senior Air Force officer, Officer of Special Operations in the Office of the Secretary of Defense in the office headed by General G.B. Erskine with Edward Lansdale, CIA-to- United States Air Force on staff. He was also the chief of Team B, which was Special Operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force. And that's very important in military terms. Special Operations was the official function responsible for the military support of the clandestine operations of the CIA. Let's begin with L. Fletcher Prouty. Welcome to our program, Mr. Prouty. L. FLETCHER PROUTY: Good morning, Gary. Nice to be with you. GARY NULL: First off -- is it correct that there was some facsimile between you and the character portrayed by Donald Sutherland in Oliver Stone's film, JFK? L. FLETCHER PROUTY: Yes. Oliver Stone met with me in 1990 and asked me to be an advisor to the film because he had read material that I had written, and he had written a part into his film that he called "Mr. X". At the time, I didn't know that. And I read the script when it first came out in November 1990, and I found the "Mr. X" there and I recognized myself and words I had written and things I had said. So, at a speech at the National Press Club, in January 1992, Oliver Stone turned to the audience and said: "Everybody asked me, `Is there a real `Mr. X''." Well, I was on the podium with him, and he turned and pointed to me and said: "There's my `Mr. X'." And so, the secret broke. And that's the story of it. It was pretty simple. He just worked it into the film so that he would have an authoritative voice for certain parts of the film, as you saw represented by Donald Sutherland. GARY NULL: Alright. Let's go to the actual events, or at least those events that you have some insight on so that we can get a handle on this. We have already -- in the first eighteen parts of this special investigation (twenty-five hours of broadcasting on this) -- laid out various aspects of this puzzle. We have seen the role of Organized Crime -- at least those individuals who, on FBI tapes, have made statemtents, either true or false (at least they've made the actual statements), that there was going to be a hit on the President, either in Miami or later in Dallas. We also had extensive insights about the CIA being "out of control", and about, even at that time, special renegade elements within the CIA who were very much opposed to President Kennedy's mishandling of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and about the fact that, at a time when he could very easily have given the support which would have caused the destruction of Castro's tiny Air Force and ended what people in the military/industrial complex, the Armed Forces, the general public, the Texas conservative element, viewed as a substantial threat, he backed off. They found this incomprehensible. And, as a result, some feel that elements of that [the CIA] were responsible for the assassination. But it couldn't have been done without having members of the Secret Service, the FBI and the Military participate because it was going to be, not only the assassination itself, but they were fully aware that you don't go out and kill the President of the United States unless you can protect yourself. You have to know that you can protect yourself if there is a special commission, if there is a special investigation. So, bringing in people from different segments [of the Government] at different levels would have been a job that only military logistics experts could have pulled off. Organized Crime has never been able to maintain. They don't have the intellectual dexterity, they have too much braggadocio and they're too unreliable. But they are capable of killing, and they do. And they are capable of being used, in effect, as a front for various aspects [of Government crime], as they had been in their anti-Castro efforts after the fall of Cuba's Battista Government, which supported their corruption. Since Castro didn't support them, they were losing many millions of dollars. So they were conducting regular activities, we now know, with the aid of the CIA and with the knowledge of the FBI.

As evidence accrues concerning the corporate mass media's thirty year cover-up of the corporate CIA's coup d'etat against the People of the United States, the need for citizen reportage becomes ever more striking.
