The True Facts Concerning the Conspiracy and Cover-Up Have Still Not Been Revealed to the American Public 329 Conclusion 335 The Katzenbach Memo e’re going to begin with the “Smoking Gun” related to the tragedy of November 22, 1963. What you’re about to read is a verbatim copy of a Justice Department Wmemo from the then-acting Attorney General of the United States, Nicholas Katzenbach, to new President Lyndon Johnson’s aide, Bill Moyers. It was written shortly after Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby and is the clear- est documentation that exists, to this day, of our government’s intent to cover up the truth—for whatever reason—behind the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. November 25, 1963 MEMORANDUM FOR MR. MOYERS It is important that all of the facts surrounding President Kennedy’s Assassination be made public in a way which will satisfy people in the United States and abroad that all the facts have been told and that a state- ment to this effect be made now. 1. The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial. X JESSE VENTURA 2. Speculation about Oswald’s motivation ought to be cut off, and we should have some basis for rebutting thought that this was a Communist conspiracy or (as the Iron Curtain press is say- ing) a right-wing conspiracy to blame it on the Communists. Unfortunately the facts on Oswald seem about too pat—too obvi- ous (Marxist, Cuba, Russian wife, etc.). The Dallas police have put out statements on the Communist conspiracy theory, and it was they who were in charge when he was shot and thus silenced. 3. The matter has been handled thus far with neither dignity nor conviction. Facts have been mixed with rumor and speculation. We can scarcely let the world see us totally in the image of the Dallas police when our President is murdered. I think this objective may be satisfied by making public as soon as pos- sible a complete and thorough FBI report on Oswald and the assassination. This may run into the difficulty of pointing to inconsistencies between this report and statements by Dallas police officials. But the reputation of the Bureau is such that it may do the whole job. The only other step would be the appointment of a Presidential Commission of unimpeachable person- nel to review and examine the evidence and announce its conclusions. This has both advantages and disadvantages. I think it can await publication of the FBI report and public reaction to it here and abroad. I think, however, that a statement that all the facts will be made public property in an orderly and responsible way should be made now. We need something to head off public speculation or Congressional hearings of the wrong sort. Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Deputy Attorney General (R) – ITEM IS RESTRICTED To see the entire document, please visit the following website: maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=756877 Introduction AUTHOR’S NOTE: There are many video clips I will be referring to, which will convey some fascinating information. To make it easier for you to WATCH ALONG AS YOU READ, I’ve put all the links online at “Jesse Ventura—The Official Facebook Page”: facebook.com/OfficialJesseVentura. his case has so much blatant evidence that totally blows the doors off the official version of the tragedy that took place fifty years ago in Dallas that it’s ridiculous. I’ve listed 63 solid reasons in this book which— Tfrom a standpoint of criminal law—is 62 more than I really need to prove reasonable doubt. One solid point is all it takes to convince a jury; and you’re about to see dozens of them. This proves a conspiracy to assassinate the 35th President of the United States—period. That’s really how I looked at this case—like an attorney taking it to court. And I can tell you straight up that there is no way they would convict my client in this case; with the knowledge and the witness testimony that now exists, Lee Harvey Oswald would have been found innocent of doing this crime. In fact, since Bill O’Reilly apparently thinks he knows so much about the JFK assassination, I’d like to publicly challenge him to answer my 63 points. Or—if Mr. O’Reilly is “too busy” to come up with so many responses—how about a public debate? Let’s do it. Let’s set it up! I’ll be there, Bill. Xii JESSE VENTURA This book even comes with a guarantee. I don’t just say it was a conspiracy— I show the evidence, and far beyond any reasonable standards of proof. I guaran- tee you that there is more than sufficient evidence and that, after examining it, any reasonable person will be convinced of that fact. I’ve also decided to break with convention and begin this book with some conclusions because I know that’s what people want and—especially in this case—truly deserve. So bear in mind that proof for these conclusions resides in the pages that follow. John F. Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy involving disgruntled CIA agents, anti-Castro Cubans, and members of the Mafia, all of whom were extremely angry at what they viewed as Kennedy’s appeasement policies toward Communist Cuba and the Soviet Union. President Kennedy sought peace and was viewed by these groups as a cowardly traitor by not giving in to their overwhelming call for war. Those groups—it should be clearly noted— are precisely the same groups that Attorney General Robert F.

M J Foren. 1(1): 005. ABSTRACT November 22, 2018, marks the 55th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, one of the most traumatic murders in U.S. history. Two official investigations were conducted by the Warren Commission’s Report in 1964 and the House Select Committee on Assassinations’ Report in 1979. Several scientific studies have also been conducted to find the truth about the murder. However, none of the studies has focused on the rifling angle comparison between the alleged mur- der weapon (CE 139) and the nearly intact bullet (CE 399). Although the bullet was the only useable physical evidence found on Governor Connally’s stretcher, the bullet and the rifle have not been used in any forensic examinations, mainly because these two pieces of evidence are the protected items under the National Archives.

  • Was Lee Harvey Oswald in North Dakota
    Chapter 28 Lee Harvey Oswald; North Dakota and Beyond John Delane Williams and Gary Severson North Dakota would become part of the JFK assassination story subsequent to a letter, sent by Mrs. Alma Cole to President Johnson. That letter [1] follows (the original was in Mrs. Cole’s handwriting): Dec 11, 1963 President Lyndon B. Johnson Dear Sir, I don’t know how to write to you, and I don’t know if I should or shouldn’t. My son knew Lee Harvey Oswald when he was at Stanley, North Dakota. I do not recall what year, but it was before Lee Harvey Oswald enlisted in the Marines. The boy read communist books then. He told my son He had a calling to kill the President. My son told me, he asked him. How he would know which one? Lee Harvey Oswald said he didn’t know, but the time and place would be laid before him. There are others at Stanley who knew Oswald. If you would check, I believe what I have wrote will check out. Another woman who knew of Oswald and his mother, was Mrs. Francis Jelesed she had the Stanley Café, (she’s Mrs. Harry Merbach now.) Her son, I believe, knew Lee Harvey Oswald better than mine did. Francis and I just thought Oswald a bragging boy. Now we know different. We told our sons to have nothing to do with him (I’m sorry, I don’t remember the year.) This letter is wrote to you in hopes of helping, if it does all I want is A Thank You.

Image may, to some extent, (and sometimes almost perfectly) represent process. But process is always superior to and always more real than image. If process precedes image this might suggest also that mind precedes matter and energy. * Everything we believe, or say we know, is based on a factual or value judgment. Both kinds of judgment always entail the other to some extent, and nothing can be known or exists for us without them. * No fact or purported fact is true or false without someone to assert and believe it to be such. If an assertion or claim is deemed true or false then, and we are thorough, we should ask who is it that says so (or has said so), and what criteria are (were) they using? There is no such thing as "faceless" truth or reality -- at least none we are capable of knowing. * You can't escape reason.

  • November 22 1963 the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A
    November 22 1963 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A Lincoln City Libraries Booklist compiled on the 50th Anniversary of the Historic Events At 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, while traveling in an open-air motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America, was assassinated by gunfire from the Texas School Book Depository, alongside the presidential motorcade route. Arrested later that day was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the U.S. in 1962. Arraigned for the murder of Kennedy and Dallas police office J.D. Tippit, Oswald himself was killed by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby while he was being transferred between jails. An official governmental investigation into the assassination – the President’s Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, chaired by Earl Warren (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States) – concluded in an 889-page report, released in September 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, as did Ruby in later killing Oswald. Conspiracy theories have abounded in the decades following the Warren Commission’s findings, and numerous other investigations of the assassination have resulted in a variety of other “official” opinions. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, formed in 1976, released a report in 1979 that concluded that although Oswald was, indeed the “lone shooter”, there may very well have been a conspiracy behind his actions to assassinate Kennedy.
