Kennedy - a micro-analysis; the second half reviews the contexts of the assassination - a macro-analysis. For both ease of reading and economy, all supporting documentation and citations appear in the End Notes which are keyed to the text's page numbers (and then to each page's paragraphs). The Introduction reviews the events of November 22nd-24th, 1963, and the official "case" against Lee Harvey Oswald. Chapter 1 analyzes the story of the finding of a rifle in the Depository. Chapters 2 and 3 establish why the weapon was first called a "7.65 Mauser bolt action rifle." Chapters 3 and 4 prove that F.B.I. testimony on the alleged assassin's rifle was incorrect, if not deliberately misleading. Five missing rifle reports, all of them linked to the F.B.I., suggest that the rifle originally found could not be traced. The rifle examined by the F.B.I., however, was traced to Klein's, and from Klein's to Dallas. The contradiction strongly suggests a rifle substitution to implicate Oswald. New evidence is presented in Chapter 5 indicating the Italian Armed Forces Intelligence Service questioned the identity of the alleged assassin's rifle - and that the C.I.A. intercepted the secret report, and then suppressed the Italian analysis for thirteen years. Chapter 6 examines Oswald's evident innocence. Chapter 7 establishes through an analysis of the famous Zapruder film that no one could have assassinated the president with one Mannlicher-Carcano and three rounds fired from the Depository. Chapter 8 presents new F.B.I. lab evidence proving the so-called "magic bullet" is a fraud - evidence suppressed for twelve years. Chapter 9 establishes that Kennedy was hit by at least one soft-nosed, fragmenting bullet, and that he suffered wounds from weapon rounds fired from at least two directions. Chapter 10 reviews part of the history of Alpha 66, the anti-Castro/ Cuban-exile organization, its leaders, and their known association with a second "Oswald" - and the organization's possible complicity in the Kennedy assassination. Chapter 11 links Cuban-exile assassination attempts against Fidel Castro with the C.I.A. (and the Alpha 66 officer who worked with the C.I.A. to kill Castro) and a proposed plot to frame Oswald for the Kennedy killing. Chapter 12 reviews the career of a high American intelligence officer and his possible role in the framing of Oswald in what might have been a faked Mexico City visit to the Soviet and Cuban embassies. Chapter 13 presents new evidence on Jack Ruby's early role as a police and intelligence informant from 1938 through 1963, and reviews the evidence establishing Ruby as a Hoffa-Lansky gangster with a special interest in Cuban affairs. Chapter 14 reviews the first Syndicate-Intelligence assassination attempt against Castro, and presents evidence to suggest that the only surviving member of that operation may have helped reputed Syndicate chief Meyer Lansky gain control of organized crime by staging the Appalachin "Mafia" meeting. iii Chapters 15 through 21 link the Kennedy assassination with anti-Castro assassination attempts, Watergate, the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, and seventeen deaths since 1970, thirteen of them violent. And We Are All Mortal reviews and analyzes these recently-released documents: 1. the November 28th, 1963, Italian Armed Forces Intelligence report on the alleged assassin's rifle, and the C.I.A. dispatch which proves that the C.I.A. intercepted the Italian report and then suppressed both; 2. the F.B.I. spectrographic lab reports, invalidating the so-called "single-bullet" theory, suppressed for eleven years; 3. the Treasury Department's CD 853 on a Cuban-exile terrorist group and its association with a second "Oswald"; 4. the F.B.I. "Criminal Informant" reports on Jack Ruby in 1959, suppressed for twelve years; 5. the Hoover memorandum to his aides and staff, November 28th, 1963, reviewing his briefing of President Johnson, strongly suggesting Hoover hinted to the president the Dallas police were involved in the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. I thank the University of Hartford library staff for its assistance; Professor Harald Sandstrom for his scholarship and insight (and the students of ISP 223 and 225 whom we both taught in the Kennedy assassination courses in 1976 and 1977); John Richters, III, for his help and humor; Patti Rakauskas for her hard work and patience; the staff of MATECH, INC., for its magic; Larry Montgomery for his support and sustenance of this book; English Department Chairperson Robert Logan, the University Sabbatical Committee, Charles Condon, and Provost David Komisar; and Arts and Sciences Dean Frank Chiarenza (who read the manuscript and helped untangle some of its unnecessary complications). I thank all those who worked with the Connecticut Citizens Commission of Inquiry in getting the word out, especially Susan Fowler and Kim Magid; the citizens of Connecticut for their interest and active support; the media people of Connecticut for their help in pursuing the truth, especially the staffs of Channel 3 and Pat Sheehan, Channel 8 and Bob Norman, and Channel 30; scores of radio stations, including WPLR, WTIC, WDRC, WRCH, WKND, and WPOP; Ivor Hugh for his confidence and friendship; Bob Baldwin and the West Hartford News; and the two-dozen newspapers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York which helped raise the New England area's consciousness. iv I thank The University of Hartford campus radio station, WWUH, for carrying my broadcast, Assassination Journal, and the University's student newspaper for its coverage and courage (it has existed under several names, including the Callboard, Liberated Press, and Informer). I thank former deputy sheriff, justice of the peace, and judge of the lower court of Coconino County, Flagstaff, Arizona, James F. Brierley, for his valuable commentary on CE 399. I thank my parents for their pride and loving interest. I thank broadcaster Brian Dow for his courage and love. I thank my daughter for her patience and understanding; and I especially thank my wife and best friend, who never lost faith. This book is, therefore, dedicated to Alycia Brierley Evica v INTRODUCTION ..· It was November 22nd, 1976. Frank Sturgis had just finished being interviewed in an hour of close questioning by a roomful of newspeople at the University of Hartford; earlier, in a private interview, John Richters and I had questioned Sturgis for over two hours. Now, as we moved toward the stage at the University of Hartford's Student Center, where Professor Harald Sandstrom, Richters, and I would question Sturgis for another two hours before an over-capacity audience, an observer remarked to Sturgis: "They sure asked you some hard questions." Sturgis paused for a moment. Turning to me, he fixed me with a dark-eyed, expressionless stare. A blunt, dangerous-looking index finger shot out and almost touched my chest: "No..

  • The Best Barber in America by John Vacha
    The Best Barber in America By John E. Vacha When Elbert Hubbard called Cleveland's George Myers the best barber in America, people listened. Hubbard's was a name to be reckoned with in the adolescent years of the Twentieth Century. His Roycroft Shops in New York were filling American parlors with the solid oak and copper bric-a-brac of the arts and crafts movement. His periodicals, The Philistine and The Fra, brought him national recognition as the "Sage of East Aurora." One of his essays alone, "A Message to Garcia," ran through forty million copies. You could say he was the Oprah of his day. Myers himself was certainly aware of the value of a testimonial from Elbert Hubbard. Across the marble wall above the mirrors in his Hollenden Hotel establishment, he had imprinted in dignified Old English letters over Hubbard's signature, "The Best Barber Shop in America!" Though he played on a smaller stage, George A. Myers managed to compile a resume as varied and impressive as Hubbard's. He was recognized as a national leader and innovator in his profession and became one of the most respected members of Cleveland's black bourgeoisie. As the confidant and trusted lieutenant of Mark A. Hanna, he became a force in Ohio Republican politics. Behind the scenes, he campaigned effectively to maintain the rights and dignity of his race. In later years he maintained a voluminous correspondence with James Ford Rhodes, providing the historian with his inside knowledge of the political maneuvers of the McKinley era. It wasn't a bad record for a barber, even for one who had bucked his father's wishes for a son with a medical degree.

  • Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US
    Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US The moral cesspool of National Politics Introduction Since leaving a start-up company as a result of the dot-com bust, I have engaged in, among other things, reviewing the literature to try to understand the controversy regarding various, potentially linked, events, including: the murders of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy; Iran-Contra; the PROMIS affair; the October surprise; domestic call-boy—corruption rings; the Panama invasion, and the two Iraq wars. Note: Most people who read the following will find it extremely disturbing, since it shakes our confidence in our basic institutions and leaders. However, I believe that the material below is accurate. It represents a distillation of many books and web references which, though written independently by credible researchers, corroborate each other. Although I have footnoted many of the statements, I chose not to be even more comprehensive to make the document shorter and more readable. It is not enough to just document excesses, though. I plan another white paper to deal with correcting those excesses.1 Initially, two key remedies appear to be: Almost complete transparency in government, and declassification of almost everything over, say, 10 years old. Setting up independent review panels of any federal operations that have the capacity to commit, or allow, significant crimes. Decriminalization of drug possession and distribution. Drug money is funding almost all the illicit activities, and maintaining a web of corruption that is so pervasive that the entire government is dysfunctional2. 1 The revelations in this document are less than a few percent of that convincingly presented in the literature.

INTRODUCrION Congress enacted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organi- zations statute' ("RICO") in 1970. Its aim was to take on the ever increasing problem of organized crime's corruptive grip on legitimate businesses and unions.2 RICO was a fresh approach to the problem of uprooting organized crime? "[T]he RICO statute was intended to provide new weapons of unprecedented scope for an assault upon organized crime and its economic roots."4 However, RICO does not exist in a vacuum. The statute also affects legitimate interests, such as those of labor.' Criminal and civil RICO actions brought by the government can affect labor interests in both positive and negative ways.

ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.' Cases involving electronic surveillance' by law enforcement agen- * Copyright 1982, Benjamin M.

  • The Mississippi of the West?
    THE MISSISSIPPI OF THE WEST? Michael S. Green* During the 1950s, African Americans in Las Vegas began referring to their city and state as the "Mississippi of the West." Magazine writers and civil rights advocates around the country picked up on the phrase. As the leading scholar of Las Vegas history, Eugene Moehring, wrote after cataloguing and condemning local racism: [T]his conclusion seems a bit overdrawn. While Las Vegas was certainly no bastion of equality, it was no worse a town for blacks than Phoenix, Salt Lake, and most medium-sized cities in California. Indeed, segregated housing, schools, and job dis- crimination were common throughout the mid-twentieth-century west. So too was the rippling effect of the national civil rights movement.' As NAACP attorney Franklin Williams said during a 1954 visit, Las Vegas was "a non-southern city with the pattern of the deep south ....Human rights in the western states are in a vacuum. "2' How this situation developed is both tragic and ironic. The tragedy of racism and segregation is obvious. The irony lies in the evolution of Nevada's political economy, the witting and unwitting role of the federal government, and the growth of Nevada's largest industries, gaming and tourism. Together, these factors managed to worsen de facto segregation while also sowing the seeds of its destruction.3 The inseparable issues of slavery and race affected Nevada's origins as a territory and a state. The Compromise of 1850 had created the Utah and New Mexico territories, which divided present-day Nevada: Utah included the Great Basin north while New Mexico included the bulk of what is now Clark County, Nevada, including Las Vegas.
