Somewhere in the World, If He Has Not Yet Been Killed, There Is An M OLTMANS. A GALLERY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT Somewhere in the world, if he has not yet been killed, there is an American General who could testify that L EDGAR HOOVER, ALLEN DULLES and I RD NIXON conspired in the assassination of PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY. by WILLEM OLTMANS. A GALLERY INVESTIGA -41111.11111111111111111 AN= ver the past two and a half years, Gallery has FM OLT published several important investigative reports about the still unsolved murder of IFK and about a secret group of men who hold the real power in this nation— power that permits them to sabotage even White House efforts, when it suits their purposes. The most recent of thes reports was Mark Lane's examination of the strange events surrounding the "suicide" of George De Mohrenschildt just hours before this key witness was due to testify before a Congressional committee. Now, on the following pages, you will learn for the first time about another important witness who—after he told his story to one of Europe's most distinguished journalists— vanished and has not yet been found. The mystery of that missing witness and the significance of his disappearanc reach far beyond the General himself and into the entire network that is being used even today to keep the truth about the John Kermecl assassination from ever being told., WE URGE YOU TO READ EVERY WORDS INTRODUCTION BY L.

  • XII. David Ferrie
    KII. DAVID FERRIE (388) In connection with its investigation of anti-Castro Cuban groups, the committee examined the activities of David William I'er- rie, an alleged associate of Lee Harvey Oswald. Among other conten- tions, it had been charged that Ferric was involved with at least one militant group of Cuban exiles and that he had made flights into Cuba in support of their counterrevolutionary activities there. (389) On Monday afternoon, November 25, 1963, Ferric, Moreover, voluntarily presented himself for questioning , to the New Orleans police, who had been looking for him in connection with the assassination of President Kennedy. (1) The New Orleans district attorney's office had earlier received information regarding a rela- tionship between Ferric and accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald,(2) including allegations that : Ferric may have been acquainted with Oswald since Oswald's days in the Civil Air Patrol youth organization in 1954-55, Ferric may have given Oswald instruction in the use of a rifle and may have hypnotized Oswald to shoot the President, and that Ferric was in Texas on the day of the assassination and may have been Oswald's getaway pilot. (3) (390) Ferric denied all the contentions, stating that at the time of the President's assassination, he had been in New Orleans, busy with court matters for organized crime figure Carlos Marcello, who had been acquitted of immigration-related charges that same day. (4) Other individuals, including Marcello, Marcello's lawyer, the lawyer's secretary, and FBI agent Regis Kennedy, supported Ferrie's alibi. (5) (391) Ferric also gave a detailed account of his whereabouts for the period from the evening of November 22, 1963, until his appearance at the New Orleans police station.

  • Lee Harvey Oswald's Last Lover? the Warren Commission Missed A
    Lee Harvey Oswald’s Last Lover? The Warren Commission Missed A Significant JFK Assassination Connection It is reasonable to be suspicious of claims that challenge our understanding of history. But it is unreasonable to ignore evidence because it might change one’s mind or challenge the positions that one has taken in public. History shows us that new information is rarely welcome.–Edward T. Haslam Lee Harvey Oswald was an innocent man who was a government intelligence agent. He faithfully carried out assignments such as entering the USSR and pretending to be pro-Castro. Lee Harvey Oswald was a brave, good man, a patriot and a true American hero . .–Judyth Vary Baker If Judyth Vary Baker is telling the truth, it will change the way we think about the Kennedy assassination.–John McAdams Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson famously remarked that Lee Harvey Oswald “was quite a mysterious fellow.” One of the most enigmatic episodes in Oswald’s adventure-filled 24-year life was his 1963 sojourn in his birthplace, New Orleans, where he arrived by bus on Apr. 25 and from which he departed by bus on Sept. 25, less than two months before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Warren Report The Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination and concluded that Oswald, acting alone, was the assassin, found nothing of significance in Oswald’s 1963 stay in New Orleans. The picture painted by the 1964 Warren Report is of a lowly, lonely and disgruntled leftist and pro-Castroite who occasionally pretended to be an anti-Castro rightist.

    WWhheenn TTrruutthh IIss SSttrraannggeerr TThhaann FFiiccttiioonn… Behind Oliver Stone’s J.F.K. (1991) by Nick Zegarac Disclaimer: For those new to The Hollywood Art, this is not a political series. It is a repository for history and content relating to great motion pictures of the past and present and, on a more personal note, is dedicated to those iconic figures of the silver screen which have brought some special focus and meaning into its’ author’s life. However, the following article involves Oliver Stone’s movie J.F.K (1991), a film and a topic that begs further understanding of the actual events that took place before and after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963. It is my sincere hope that history will not be quick to judge this article as a further contribution in support of mere conspiracy theories, lone gunman mythologies or even fictionalized urban legends that continues to surround that assassination. What follows then is a retrospective of history itself – some will undoubtedly argue, as clouded through the lens of a propagandist film maker, but that this author would suggest derive far more credence, respect and investigation than history has had the time or interest to make clear to the American public to date. It is in support of deriving clarity from the facts as presented in Oliver Stone’s film and through a sincere investigation of other informational and archival materials made available elsewhere, and with the humble and utmost esteem and reverence extended to the Kennedy family, for what is undoubtedly a far more intimate - rather than national - tragedy, that this article appears.

Elsevier, Amsterdam 2009 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij111zezi01_01/colofon.php © 2015 dbnl / Wouter Meijer 7 Inleiding ‘Ik trek me geen flikker aan van wat de Nederlandse kranten schrijven, ik ga altijd zelf kijken,’ zegt Willem Leonard Oltmans in het vroege voorjaar van 1997 tegen Theo van Gogh in een reeks interviews die Van Gogh in dat jaar met Oltmans opnam. De opmerking is typerend voor de eigenzinnige journalist, die op 30 september 2004 op 79-jarige leeftijd zou overlijden. Oltmans' grote proces tegen de Nederlandse Staat - waardoor hij naar eigen zeggen al vanaf 1956 onophoudelijk werd tegengewerkt en getreiterd - was ten tijde van de serie vraaggesprekken met Van Gogh nog volop aan de gang. Oltmans woonde op dat moment in een eenkamerwoning in de Amsterdamse Jordaan en probeerde rond te komen van een minimumuitkering, omdat hij in Nederland niet meer aan het werk kon komen. In mei 2000 werd het slepende conflict beëindigd dankzij de uitspraak van een arbitragecommissie onder leiding van voorzitter Pierre Vinken. Een passage uit het vonnis van de commissie luidt: ‘Ten aanzien van de immateriële schade voegen arbiters daaraan toe dat een ruime vergoeding op zijn plaats is, nu de Staat de reputatie van Oltmans ten onrechte ernstig heeft beschadigd en vervolgens zijn rehabilitatie tientallen jaren is blijven tegenwerken.’1 Oltmans kreeg gelijk en ontving een schadevergoeding van ongeveer 7 miljoen gulden netto2 (3.176.461 euro) - een exorbitant hoog bedrag voor een Nederlandse rechtszaak.

    Ghosts of the Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, and the Truth of Crime Jonathan Simon* It seems to me important, very important, to the record that we face the fact that this man was not only human but a rather ordinary one in many respects, and who appeared ordinary. If we think that this was a man such as we might never meet, a great aberration from the normal, someone who would stand out in a crowd as unusual, then we don't know this man, we have no means of recognizing such a person again in advance of a crime such as he committed.
