AN= -41111.11111111111111111 FM OLT Gallery has ver the past two and a half years, 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 's examination of the strange events surrounding the "suicide" of 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.
