Tape Two Side One
|
||
|
||
---It's worth noting too, that Malcolm was on the receiving end of
|
||
a number of hostile activities a few nights before he was
|
||
assassinated. He was assassinated on February 21st of 1965. About
|
||
a week before, maybe as much as eight or nine days before, his
|
||
home, Malcolm X's home in New York was firebombed. Eye witnesses
|
||
saw a policeman walking into his house and the police later claimed
|
||
that Malcolm X firebombed his own home in an attempt to create the
|
||
notion that somebody was actively opposing him and a firebomb was
|
||
found, I believe it was on his wife's dresser, and the claim was
|
||
them bandied about by the authorities that Malcolm X had firebombed
|
||
his own home. It is also worth noting that there appears to have
|
||
been a dress rehearsal of Malcolm X's assassination a few days
|
||
before he was actually assassinated. In a rehearsal for an address
|
||
in New York City, there was a disturbance in the audience and a
|
||
fellow said "nigger, get your hand out of my pocket", and there was
|
||
then a scuffle and Malcolm X broke up the scuffle. Nothing much
|
||
came of that. Later on, however, those exact same words led to a
|
||
scuffle which appears to have been the cue to the assassins to open
|
||
fire on Malcolm X. It is worth noting that John Ali was present at
|
||
this particular address in which what appears to have been a dress
|
||
rehearsal for Malcolm's assassination took place.
|
||
|
||
Now when Malcolm X was assassinated, he was giving a speech at the
|
||
Audubon Ballroom in New York City. One of the interesting aspects
|
||
of his assassination was that all of the speakers who were
|
||
scheduled to appear at this event cancelled at the last minute.
|
||
Malcolm X was there, but somehow it appears that the word got out
|
||
that this was not going to be a place to be. But for whatever
|
||
reason, all of the scheduled speakers but Malcolm X cancelled the
|
||
day of his assassination. Again, bear in mind that there was at
|
||
least one active BOSSI and FBI agent present on Malcolm's security
|
||
staff at the Audubon Ballroom, the aforementioned Gene Roberts or
|
||
Brother Gene, and that he was operating at the behest of Anthony
|
||
Ulazowitz (sp) and John Caulfield, later key Watergate operatives
|
||
on behalf of Richard Nixon, that they at the time were working with
|
||
the BOSSI, the New York City Anti-Organized Crime and Red Squad,
|
||
tabbed by Division Five of the FBI to work against both the Nation
|
||
of Islam and Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity.
|
||
|
||
Now in the audience when Malcolm got up to speak, there was this
|
||
same disturbance that had taken place a few days earlier. A guy
|
||
said "Nigger, get your hand out of my pocket", and there was a
|
||
scuffle in the audience. Malcolm said "Cool it brothers, cool it".
|
||
At that point, one of the two combatants pulled a German Luger out
|
||
of his pocket and began opening fire at Malcolm X. Another man in
|
||
the audience pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and fired and struck
|
||
Malcolm X at virtually point-blank range. The assassins then
|
||
exited out one of the side doors, firing at Malcolm X the whole
|
||
time and holding most of the audience at bay. Malcolm's own
|
||
security people fired and wounded one of the assassins as they were
|
||
escaping.
|
||
|
||
Now that night there was a fire at Mosque Seven in Harlem, which
|
||
had been founded by Malcolm X and eventually the leadership of
|
||
Mosque Seven was taken over by Lewis X, as he was calling himself
|
||
at the time, now Lewis Farakhan, who incidentally had publically
|
||
called for Malcolm X's death following Malcolm's break with and
|
||
condemnation of Elijah Muhammed. But the night Malcolm X was
|
||
assassinated, Mosque Seven had a very serious fire. The same
|
||
evening, interestingly enough, there was a very mysterious fire at
|
||
the apartment of Muhammed Ali, the famed prize fighter, also
|
||
perhaps the best known member of the Nation of Islam and for a long
|
||
time a very close political supporter and personal friend of
|
||
Malcolm X.
|
||
|
||
The fire at Muhammed Ali's apartment was a rather strange one. No
|
||
one knew that Muhammed Ali and his wife at the time were going to
|
||
be at this restaurant, yet they got a call at the restaurant
|
||
telling them that their apartment was on fire. Many people have
|
||
raised questions about this. It is also worth noting that within
|
||
a few days of Malcolm's assassination, of the mysterious fire at
|
||
the Mosque Seven, the mysterious fire at Muhammed Ali's apartment,
|
||
the law offices of Percy Sutton, a New York City councilperson,
|
||
actually, I believe, later a congressional representative, Percy
|
||
Sutton's law offices were vandalized a few days later and also the
|
||
New York offices of the Organization of Afro-American Unity,
|
||
Malcolm's organization, were vandalized a few days later.
|
||
|
||
It is worth noting again that Lewis Lomax, who had investigated the
|
||
assassinations of both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, concluded
|
||
that the intelligence community was behind it. He had, as I said,
|
||
landed a movie contract about the assassination of Malcolm X, which
|
||
implicated the intelligence community. While driving to the set
|
||
one day, the brakes on his car failed and he was killed in an
|
||
accident. He also, Lomax that is, was pursuing leads in Louisiana
|
||
which would have connected the assassination of Martin Luther King
|
||
with that of John F. Kennedy and specifically, he was looking into
|
||
the activities of the people surrounding the 544 Camp Street, 531
|
||
Lafayette Place address that was run as the Guy Bannister Detective
|
||
Agency. Guy Bannister, former head of the FBI Chicago office, also
|
||
a former Office of Naval Intelligence operative, as accurately
|
||
portrayed in the movie "JFK". In addition to operating on behalf
|
||
of the CIA's anti-Castro Cuban efforts, the Bannister Detective
|
||
Agency was also very active against the civil-rights movement and
|
||
they put out a racist publication called "Louisiana Intelligence
|
||
Digest" which maintained that the black civil-rights movement was
|
||
part of the international communist conspiracy. Something that
|
||
both J. Edgar Hoover and Arthur Haines, Sr., James Earl Ray's first
|
||
attorney, were also advocating at this time and Louis Lomax had
|
||
developed some contacts in Louisiana and had been pursuing
|
||
evidenciary tributaries leading in the direction of Bannister and
|
||
company when he was killed in this one-car automobile accident.
|
||
|
||
A few days after Malcolm X was killed, one of his top aides in the
|
||
Organization of Afro-American Unity, a fellow named Leon 4X Ameer,
|
||
(by the way, the Xs in the names of the Nation of Islam, the Black
|
||
Muslims, as they are popularly referred to, that reference, and you
|
||
will see, you know, John 23X, Louis 14X, and so forth. When an
|
||
African-American joined the organization, he traditionally retained
|
||
his first name, X was put, basically, in place of his last name to
|
||
indicate that this was a slave name and that at some point, he had
|
||
a different name, but that this had become lost to history and
|
||
depending on when you joined the organization, that determined the
|
||
number before your "X". For example, if you were the fifth member
|
||
of the Nation of Islam named John, you were John 5X. If you were
|
||
the 14th named Louis, you were Louis 14X, etc. That is what those
|
||
Xs refer to).
|
||
|
||
But one of Malcolm's top aides, Leon 4X Ameer, went to the FBI,
|
||
about, I think it was ten days after Malcolm was killed, and
|
||
indicated that he felt that there were elements not only within the
|
||
Nation of Islam proper, but within the US government that were
|
||
behind Malcolm's assassination. He then was found dead, himself,
|
||
a few days later at the age of 32 in his apartment in Boston.
|
||
Initially, they said it was suicide, then they changed that to a
|
||
drug overdose, but the final disposition of the case was that he
|
||
died of natural causes, despite the fact that he was in good health
|
||
at the age of 32. It is worth noting that Ameer took his wife and
|
||
child and relocated them from Boston prior to his death, because he
|
||
felt that his life was in danger and he did not want his wife and
|
||
child to die if and when the assassins came for him. That is still
|
||
the official version of the death of Leon Ameer, namely, natural
|
||
causes at the age of 32 within ten days of (actually it was about
|
||
a week) having visited the FBI and voiced his suspicions about U.S.
|
||
governmental involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X.
|
||
|
||
It is worth noting that the Socialist Workers Party, elements of
|
||
which had been very close to the Nation of Islam, were also the
|
||
targets of COINTELPRO disruption at this time, and that freedom of
|
||
information act documents that have been declassified in the
|
||
interim, have revealed that in no uncertain terms, the friction
|
||
that grew between the Socialist Workers Party and the Nation of
|
||
Islam, and in particular, the Organization of Afro-American Unity,
|
||
were as the result of agitation by the FBI.
|
||
|
||
James Chabaz (sp), who was Malcolm X's successor, in the
|
||
Organization of Afro-American Unity, was himself assassinated a few
|
||
years after Malcolm X. And it is worth noting that one of Elijah
|
||
Muhammed's sons was arrested and convicted on a drug charge. This
|
||
officially discredited him and for a period of time, the most
|
||
powerful man in the Nation of Islam became John Ali, who was,
|
||
again, a documented FBI informant. It is also worth noting that
|
||
John Ali was around many of the areas where Malcolm X was prior to
|
||
his assassination. Malcolm was going to disembark, for example, at
|
||
the Los Angeles airport. Some of his security people noted that
|
||
John Ali was present when Malcolm X was going to land at the Los
|
||
Angeles airport. Because of his stated hostility to Malcolm X,
|
||
this was after Malcolm's break with Elijah Muhammed, the plane of
|
||
Malcolm X was rerouted to another terminal and law enforcement was
|
||
alerted. Again, John Ali was physically present at this what
|
||
appears to have been a dress rehearsal for Malcolm X's
|
||
assassination.
|
||
|
||
Oh, another detail that I forgot, concerning the circumstances of
|
||
Malcolm's death, the Audubon Ballroom where he was killed, is
|
||
directly across the street from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in
|
||
New York City, one of the finest medical institutions in the city.
|
||
The hospital was called and they were asked to rush medical
|
||
assistance over to Malcolm X, who was only across the street and no
|
||
medical assistance was forthcoming. It took a long time and
|
||
finally, Malcolm's aides got a stretcher from the hospital and put
|
||
him on it and carried him over to the hospital. But that is again
|
||
among the strange circumstances surrounding his assassination, was
|
||
that for some reason, the people at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital
|
||
were unable to dispatch an emergency unit across the street. It
|
||
was so bad that his aides went across the street, got a stretcher,
|
||
and wheeled him across the street to the hospital. The hospital
|
||
proffered no assistance whatsoever.
|
||
|
||
Now again, after one of Elijah Muhammed's sons was arrested and
|
||
convicted on a drug charge, John Ali, documented FBI informant,
|
||
became the most powerful member of the Nation of Islam. Eventually
|
||
the organization was taken over by Wallace Muhammed, another of
|
||
Elijah Muhammed's sons, who promptly undertook to reform the
|
||
organization along the lines that Malcolm X, himself, had
|
||
advocated. In the first place, Wallace Muhammed lifted the edict
|
||
against black-white political cooperation, one of the main sources
|
||
of the break between Malcolm and Elijah Muhammed.
|
||
|
||
He, that is to say, Wallace Muhammed, also changed the ideology and
|
||
the theology of the Nation of Islam. One of the aspects of the
|
||
Nation of Islam's philosophy or political viewpoint, which had also
|
||
alienated Malcolm X, was the explicit doctrine of the Nation of
|
||
Islam that the white race was created by a mad scientist named
|
||
Yakob (sp). That was an official element of their doctrine. That
|
||
obviously worked to the disadvantage of black people and actually
|
||
worked to the advantage of people like the Aryan Nations, part of
|
||
whose racist ideology is that black people are genetically and
|
||
intellectually inferior to white people. The tenet of the Nation
|
||
of Islam that the white race was created by a mad scientist named
|
||
Yakob (sp), in my opinion, was very much to the liking of people
|
||
like Robert Miles and Tom Metzger and George Lincoln Rockwell and
|
||
H.L. Hunt, because it would tend to discredit black people
|
||
intellectually. That was one of the things that Wallace Muhammed
|
||
dispensed of when he took over the leadership of the Nation of
|
||
Islam. And no sooner did Wallace Muhammed put these reforms into
|
||
effect than Lewis Farakhan, as he was calling himself then,
|
||
formally Lewis X, head of the Boston Mosque of the Nation of Islam,
|
||
who had publically called for Malcolm X's death as a result of his
|
||
hostility or his opposition to Elijah Muhammed, who eventually
|
||
succeeded Malcolm X as the head of Mosque Seven, who was reportedly
|
||
in the Newark, New Jersey mosque at the time of Malcolm's
|
||
assassination. At least one of the convicted assassins has stated
|
||
that the assassination of Malcolm was planned at the Newark mosque
|
||
and some of the people convicted were security people from the
|
||
Newark mosque.
|
||
|
||
Lewis Farakhan broke away from Wallace Muhammed and set up his own
|
||
organization, the Nation of Islam, which he is the head of to this
|
||
day. He then reinstated the prohibition on black-white political
|
||
cooperation, which was one of the things Malcolm X broke with
|
||
Elijah Muhammed over, he reinstated the preposterous tenet that the
|
||
white race was created by in a laboratory by a mad scientist named
|
||
Yakob (sp), another of the things that Malcolm X opposed. And
|
||
apparently, the opposition on the part of Farakhan and his
|
||
organization to black-white political cooperation did not apply to
|
||
cooperation between himself and his organization and a doctrinaire
|
||
white supremacist like Tom Metzger and Robert Miles. Make of that
|
||
what you will.
|
||
|
||
We will talk about Jesse Jackson in a couple of minutes, but it is
|
||
worth noting too that Lewis Farakhan has been very active in
|
||
promoting dissension in the progressive political community. He
|
||
has achieved a lot of publicity in connection with some of his
|
||
statements about Jews and Judaism. Traditionally, blacks and Jews
|
||
have been two of the pillars of the progressive political community
|
||
in the United States. There is now a great deal of friction
|
||
between them, although some of that undoubtedly applies to Israeli
|
||
support for, or is justified by and stems from, Israeli support for
|
||
South Africa. At the same time, I suspect that a lot of that is
|
||
being actively promoted by the forces of reaction in this country,
|
||
who would like nothing better than to see blacks and Jews going
|
||
after one another, because divide and conquer is an old, tried and
|
||
true tactic.
|
||
|
||
It is worth noting, too, just as there are questions concerning
|
||
Lewis Farakhan and his succession of Malcolm X, and it is
|
||
interesting that it was not Wallace Muhammed who revised the Nation
|
||
of Islam, and reformed it along the lines advocated by Malcolm X,
|
||
but it is Lewis Farakhan, who again called for the Malcolm X's
|
||
death, and who then broke from Wallace Muhammed when he put into
|
||
effect reforms advocated my Malcolm, he is now the individual who
|
||
wears Malcolm X's mantle. He also is an individual who has been
|
||
actively collaborating with some of the white-supremacist elements
|
||
that Malcolm had devoted his life to working against.
|
||
|
||
There are similar question about Jesse Jackson and the
|
||
assassination of Martin Luther King as well. Jesse Jackson drew a
|
||
lot of fire, or a lot of flak, I should say. I should watch my use
|
||
of words under the circumstances, but Jesse Jackson drew a lot of
|
||
flak from the people surrounding Martin Luther King for his
|
||
behavior around the time of Martin Luther King's assassination. It
|
||
is a matter of public record that Martin Luther King was at least
|
||
considering breaking with Jesse Jackson. Martin made a number of
|
||
statements to some of his aides that "he felt it was time for him
|
||
to make his mark and Jesse to make his own mark" then when Martin
|
||
Luther King was assassinated, Jesse Jackson showed up at a press
|
||
conference shortly afterward with a bloodied shirt and claimed that
|
||
he had cradled the dying Dr. King's head and this was one of the
|
||
things that boosted Jesse into the public eye. Many of Martin's
|
||
close associates were outraged over what they viewed as
|
||
self-aggrandizement and exploitation of Martin's death by Jesse
|
||
Jackson and they claim that, in fact, Jesse Jackson was not
|
||
cradling the dying Dr. King's head at all. Later, after years of
|
||
hostility between people like Coretta King, who as late as 1984,
|
||
was unwilling to endorse Jesse Jackson for president, Jesse
|
||
admitted this on the Phil Donahue show, on a national television
|
||
audience, that he had been lying for 20 years about his behavior
|
||
vis-a-vis the assassination of Martin Luther King.
|
||
|
||
I had always wondered how Jesse Jackson got that bloodied shirt,
|
||
because if he was not cradling King's head, and he later eventually
|
||
admitted that he had been lying about that, where did he get the
|
||
bloody shirt? It indicates at least the possibility of
|
||
foreknowledge. The question is whose blood or the blood of what
|
||
was on that shirt and where did Jesse get it? Now, on the Phil
|
||
Donahue show, Jesse admitted that he had been lying, that he had
|
||
not actually cradled the dying Dr. King's head, but he said there
|
||
was so much blood where Dr. King fell that this was how he got the
|
||
blood on his shirt. Well, there was certainly a lot of blood on
|
||
the ground where Dr. King was lying. There also would have been
|
||
some blood on the back wall where the round penetrated Dr. King's
|
||
head, but there would not have blood all over the apartment and
|
||
again one wonders how Jesse Jackson came up with that bloody shirt.
|
||
Beyond that, regardless of how he actually came up with the shirt,
|
||
the fact that he would lie for twenty years about his behavior vis-
|
||
a-vis the assassination of the man whose mantle he now wears, and
|
||
you take a look at anything that comes up in the news concerning
|
||
black people in this country or just about anyplace else in the
|
||
world, and you see how long it takes for Jesse Jackson to appear in
|
||
the camera. Jesse is a real good guy at garnering publicity. He
|
||
is almost ubiquitous, but the fact that Jesse would lie for twenty
|
||
years, to me, disqualifies him as any kind of political leader.
|
||
Beyond that, and even more alarmingly, aside from the fact that he
|
||
admitted that he lied about cradling King's head, shortly after
|
||
George Bush was elected in 1988, after having run his campaign
|
||
along explicitly racist lines with the Willy Horton ploy, Jesse and
|
||
George Bush gave a press conference in which they agreed to, George
|
||
challenged him, he said we've worked together on a number of policy
|
||
issues in the past and he challenged Jesse to deny that and Jesse
|
||
did not deny it then both Jesse and George Bush stated that they
|
||
felt that James Earl Ray should not be paroled. Well, Jesse has
|
||
been quite vocal in other contexts about hardly his opinion that
|
||
there was more to the assassination of Martin Luther King than just
|
||
some lone racist, and yet he at a press conference with George
|
||
Bush, former director of the CIA and president-elect, he stated
|
||
that he was opposed to releasing James Earl Ray. That also raises
|
||
some very, very serious questions about Jesse Jackson. Jesse also
|
||
has made some comments which have tended to promote friction
|
||
between the black and Jewish communities in this country. Whatever
|
||
Jesse's intention, that certainly works to the benefit of the
|
||
forces of reaction. It should be noted that when a coup d'etat is
|
||
staged, in the viewpoint of the coup plotters, it is not only
|
||
necessary to destroy the target, but to replace the target with a
|
||
substitute whose political interests are at one with one's own.
|
||
Now in this case, in this context I should say, we can view the
|
||
assassinations of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King as, in
|
||
effect, a coup d'etat. In effect, a blow at a nation within a
|
||
nation, namely the black community in the United States, and with
|
||
such a coup having apparently been executed, it would have been
|
||
essential to replace the two target individuals, namely Martin
|
||
Luther King and Malcolm X, with individuals whose viewpoints and
|
||
activities would be suitable to the people who had staged the coup.
|
||
Although we do not have definitive information, and I do not mean
|
||
the things that I am saying to be viewed as definitive about either
|
||
Jesse Jackson or Lewis Farakhan, at the same time, there are enough
|
||
questions about the activities of both men to lead to a serious
|
||
investigation as to whether or not Lewis Farakhan was perhaps
|
||
designated as the LBJ to Malcolm X's JFK and that Jesse Jackson may
|
||
very well have been tabbed as a similar successor to Martin Luther
|
||
King as well.
|
||
|
||
There is an odd postscript to the assassinations of both Martin
|
||
Luther King and Malcolm X. A few days, in fact four days, after
|
||
Malcolm X was assassinated, that was February 21st, 1965, there was
|
||
an abortive attempt to assassinate Martin Luther King as well.
|
||
Martin Luther King was attending a movie in Los Angeles and police
|
||
received a tip and they discovered a large dynamite bomb at the
|
||
theater, which had it gone off, would have certainly killed Dr.
|
||
King and virtually anyone else in that theater. Eventually an
|
||
American neo-Nazi named Keith Gilbert, was convicted of this
|
||
assassination attempt on Martin Luther King. Gilbert maintained
|
||
that while in prison, he was receiving support from very powerful
|
||
forces. It later came to light that he was receiving money and
|
||
that the individual he was receiving money from was a fellow named
|
||
Loren Eugene Hall, himself a paramilitary white right-winger and
|
||
white-supremacist who had been one of the main informants for then
|
||
Reagan legal-counselor Edwin Meese concerning the case of Edgar
|
||
Eugene Bradley. Edgar Eugene Bradley was sought by Jim Garrison in
|
||
New Orleans in connection with the assassination of John F.
|
||
Kennedy. Edgar Eugene Bradley was a resident of the state of
|
||
California. Garrison filed an extradition request, then deputy
|
||
state attorney general Charles A. O'Brien (sp) reviewed the
|
||
Garrison extradition request, recommended that it be granted.
|
||
Activity on the Garrison extradition request for Bradley was
|
||
delayed by then-governor Reagan until after Richard Nixon was
|
||
elected president and then was turned down without comment. The
|
||
Edgar Eugene Bradley extradition request was handled for Reagan by
|
||
then Reagan legal advisor, legal counsellor Edwin A. Meese, who
|
||
later, of course, became attorney general of the United States and
|
||
who also was a highly ranked intelligence officer with the Army
|
||
reserve, both then and now.
|
||
|
||
The guy who Ed Meese dealt with primarily was a former CIA
|
||
operative in connection with the anti-Castro Cuban activities and
|
||
a white-supremacist named Loren Eugene Hall, who in 1989
|
||
incidentally, was indicted for running a methamphetamine ring in
|
||
Oklahoma. His son, Loren, Jr., who was also indicted and named in
|
||
the indictment, stated at a press conference that the entire
|
||
methamphetamine ring was being used to channel funding to the
|
||
contras. That, by the way, from the Dallas Morning News of
|
||
September 13th of 1989. It was this guy who was providing
|
||
financial support to Keith Gilbert while he was in prison for
|
||
having placed this huge dynamite bomb in an L.A. theater four days
|
||
after Malcolm X was assassinated in New York. Now Keith Gilbert
|
||
eventually became one of the top lieutenants for Richard Gernt (sp)
|
||
Butler, the head of the Aryan Nations compound at Hayden Lake,
|
||
Idaho. Later Keith Gilbert broke with Butler and established his
|
||
own compound a few miles down the road.
|
||
|
||
Interesting enough, Keith Gilbert was linked to a fellow named
|
||
Michael Wayne. Michael Wayne's name came up in connection with the
|
||
assassination of Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles. A Michael Wayne
|
||
was known to have been at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles,
|
||
asking what route senator Kennedy was going to take to exit from
|
||
his press conference. Michael Wayne was also a very, very close,
|
||
not a double, but he resembled very closely Sirhan Sirhan, the
|
||
patsy in the Robert Kennedy assassination. The individual
|
||
generally cited by most investigators as actually having pulled the
|
||
trigger on Robert Kennedy was a white supremacist named Thane
|
||
Eugene Caesar who worked for Lockheed's Burbank facility, and
|
||
specifically worked in the top secret area associated with the
|
||
CIA's U-2 project. Oswald also was affiliated with the U-2.
|
||
Caesar was working as a security guard for a security service in
|
||
the Ambassador Hotel the night of the shooting. He was a
|
||
documented white-supremacist and, again, he worked in the Lockheed
|
||
Burbank facility and another engineer in Lockheed Burbank was
|
||
Richard Gernt Butler, one of whose top lieutenants was Keith
|
||
Gilbert, whose name was linked in L.A.P.D. files to Michael Wayne,
|
||
a Sirhan double, who was in the Ambassador Hotel. And again, it
|
||
was Keith Gilbert who was convicted of this attempt on the life of
|
||
Martin Luther King four days after Malcolm was killed. Not that
|
||
that necessarily proves anything, but when you take those
|
||
coincidences in combination with the enormous number of evidenciary
|
||
tributaries linking various aspects of our assassinations and
|
||
political assassinations, it is pretty clear that this is more than
|
||
just coincidence, and I personally have always felt that the Keith
|
||
Gilbert-Richard Gernt Butler-Thane Eugene Caesar, Malcolm X
|
||
assassination-Martin Luther King assassination-Robert Kennedy
|
||
assassination link has never been properly investigated.
|
||
|
||
It is also worth noting that the people who brought the Sirhan
|
||
family into the United States were college friends and political
|
||
associates of Richard Nixon, who was a prime beneficiary of the
|
||
assassination of Robert Kennedy and the director for security for
|
||
Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign was a fellow named James Golden, who
|
||
was on leave from his position as director of security for the
|
||
Lockheed Corporation, at which Thane Eugene Caesar was employed.
|
||
And again, that does not prove anything either, but when you
|
||
examine this country's political assassinations, be it the
|
||
assassinations of the Kennedys or Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X,
|
||
Incidentally there is an echo which comes forward right to this
|
||
day. One of the main civil rights leaders of the early '60s,
|
||
Medgar Evers (sp) the field secretary for the National Association
|
||
for the Advancement of Colored People, he was assassinated in 1963,
|
||
a few months before Kennedy was assassinated. A white-supremacist
|
||
named Byron de La Beckwith (sp) has been indicted for his
|
||
assassination and is going to stand trial. He has been able to
|
||
wiggle out of this so far. When Byron de La Beckwith was seeking
|
||
to avoid indictment for the assassination of Medgar Evers, much of
|
||
his political support came from former Major General Edwin Walker.
|
||
Edwin Walker had been a divisional commander in Germany and was
|
||
replaced by John Kennedy because Edwin Walker was violating Army
|
||
regulations by obliging his troops to study the "Blue Book" of the
|
||
John Birch Society. It is a violation of U.S. military regulations
|
||
to force your troops to study political doctrine. Edwin Walker was
|
||
fired by John Kennedy. He then came to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area
|
||
where he became a protege of H.L. Hunt and in the fifth volume of
|
||
the 26 volumes of Warren Commission testimony and exhibits, it is
|
||
revealed, or it is documented that, Edwin Walker's John Birch
|
||
Society cell was used as a vehicle for bringing military
|
||
intelligence agents over from Munich, Germany to operate at the
|
||
field level in the assassination of John Kennedy.
|
||
|
||
It is also worth noting, too, that one of the things cited by the
|
||
Warren Commission to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was not a
|
||
politically-motivated assassin, (he wasn't an assassin at all, he
|
||
was a patsy) but the Warren Commission stated that Lee Harvey
|
||
Oswald had previously tried to assassinate Major General Edwin
|
||
Walker, who was an ultra-right winger. Therefore, since he tried
|
||
to shoot a right-winger and he wound up shooting a liberal, he was
|
||
not politically motivated.
|
||
|
||
This information first surfaced, according to the Warren Commission
|
||
investigation or cover-up, on December 3rd 1963, when Marina Oswald
|
||
revealed this to the FBI during an interrogation. The FBI then
|
||
notified the Warren Commission. However, this does not explain why
|
||
on November 29, 1963, a Nazi newspaper in Munich, Germany, named
|
||
the Deutsch----unclear-----, published by a guy named Gerhard Frey
|
||
(sp), still active on the German Nazi scene, and having a number of
|
||
highly-ranked SS officers and former officials from Goebbels
|
||
propaganda ministry on its editorial staff, that newspaper revealed
|
||
the information that Oswald had shot at Walker on November 29,
|
||
1963, based on an interview with Edwin Walker, that Edwin Walker
|
||
gave by telephone to Gerhard Frey on November 23, 1963 which was a
|
||
full eleven days before Marina Oswald supposedly revealed that to
|
||
the world.
|
||
|
||
Now, you do not have to be Columbo or Sherlock Holmes to figure out
|
||
that that throws serious doubt on the validity of the Warren
|
||
Commission's investigation, but that is just one of many
|
||
evidenciary tributaries leading between our various assassinations
|
||
and attempted assassinations. That does not mean that, yes, Major
|
||
General Edwin Walker and the Hunt organization were connected to
|
||
Byron de La Beckwith and the assassination of Medgar Evers, yet at
|
||
the same time when we see so many of the same elements and the same
|
||
names cropping up in connection with our political assassinations,
|
||
supposedly unconnected, and supposedly not having any serious
|
||
political ramifications, I think we are in a position to stand back
|
||
and take a look at these killings and to view them in much the same
|
||
light as the assassination program conducted in Germany in the
|
||
1920s, long before the world became familiar with the name of
|
||
Adolph Hitler, long before National Socialism took over in Germany
|
||
and helped plunge the world into war, that there were a series, as
|
||
I said, of assassinations conducted in Germany which paved the way
|
||
for the rise of fascism in that country. But in addition to the
|
||
leaders of the German revolution, such as Karl Liebnick (sp) and
|
||
Rosa Luxembourg (sp), doctrinaire communists themselves, democratic
|
||
leaders ranging from Kurt Eisner (sp), Karl Guirise (sp), Gustav
|
||
Landauer (sp), Walter von Rattenau (sp), these are names that
|
||
history has not remembered and they should have. As we look at our
|
||
assassinations and our attempted assassinations, I think it is
|
||
important that we clear away the obfuscation, that we learn to see
|
||
the forest despite the trees that have been placed in our way,
|
||
because in my opinion, and I think the evidence argues very
|
||
strongly in that regard, we here in the United States went through
|
||
a similar historical event to the assassination programs in Germany
|
||
and Japan that paved the way for the rise of fascism in those
|
||
countries. And, if we do not recognize the facts concerning our
|
||
own history and understand what happened and why it happened, we
|
||
ourselves are going to ultimately face results as devastating as
|
||
what eventually stemmed from the assassination programs in those
|
||
countries as well.
|
||
|
||
That basically concludes the main body of the lecture this evening.
