Joseph Milteer:

Joseph Milteer

Miami Prophet, or Quitman Crackpot?


The fellow at the right is named Joseph Milteer. He looks benign enough, but in fact he had some very nasty political opinions and some very nasty friends. These political opinions and these friends are the reason many conspiracists think he had "foreknowledge" of the Kennedy assassination.

Milteer was a political activist in far-right, racist circles from Quitman, Georgia. He was independently wealthy, and traveled constantly. On one of his trips, to Miami, he made statements about Kennedy being killed. In CrossfireJim Marrs reports that:

On November 9, 1963, a Miami police informant named William Somersett met with Joseph A. Milteer, a wealthy right-wing extremist who promptly began to outline the assassination of President Kennedy.

Milteer was a leader of the arch-conservative National States Rights Party as well as a member of other groups such as the Congress of Freedom and the White Citizen’s Council of Atlanta. Somersett had infiltrated the States Rights Party and secretly recorded Milteer’s conversation.

The tape, later turned over to Miami police, recorded Milteer as saying, "[During Kennedy’s impending visit to Miami] You can bet your bottom dollar he is going to have a lot to say about the Cubans, there are so many of them here . . . The more bodyguards he has, the easier it is to get him . . . From an office building with a high-powered rifle . . . He’s knows he’s a marked man." (p. 265)

For this, Jim Marrs calls him "The Miami Prophet."

Was he that? Or was he just a racist blowhard? If you read Marrs’ account, you might be inclined to believe that he knew something. But even in the account Marrs provides, it’s interesting that Milteer says nothing about "triangulation of crossfire," or a "kill zone" or multiple shooters. If Milteer had any "foreknowledge" he had foreknowledge of a single shooter.

Anthony Summers’ book Conspiracy deals with Milteer in two places. In the text he recounts the following edited version of Milteer’s conversation with Somersett (p. 404):

INFORMANT: I think Kennedy is coming here on the 18th, or something like that to make some kind of speech . . .

EXTREMIST: You can bet your bottom dollar he is going to have a lot to say about the Cubans. There are so many of them here.

INFORMANT: Yeah. Well, he will have a thousand bodyguards, don’t worry about that.

EXTREMIST: The more bodyguards he has the easier it is to get him.

INFORMANT: Well, how in the hell do you figure would be the best way to get him?

EXTREMIST: From an office building with a high-powered rifle. . . He knows he’s a marked man . . . .

INFORMANT: They are really going to try to kill him?

EXTREMIST: Oh yeah, it is in the working . . . .

INFORMANT: Boy, if that Kennedy gets shot, we have to know where we are at. Because you know that will be a real shake if they do that.

EXTREMIST: They wouldn’t leave any stone unturned there, no way. They will pick somebody up within hours afterwards, if anything like that would happen. Just to throw the public off.

Then, in a long footnote (p. 624), Summers adds the following:

Joseph Milteer, the right-wing extremist who said two weeks before the assassination that the President’s murder was "in the working," told a police informant afterward that "Everything ran true to form. I guess you thought I was kidding you when I said he would be killed from a window with a high-powered rifle." Asked whether he was guessing when he made the original remark, Milteer replied, "I don’t do any guessing." According to the informant, Milteer said there was no need "to worry about Lee Harvey Oswald getting caught because he doesn’t know anything." The right wing, said Milteer, was "in the clear," adding that "the patriots have outsmarted the Communist group in order that the Communists would carry out the plan without the right wing becoming involved."

Again, note that Milteer takes "credit" for knowing that Kennedy was going to be "killed from a window with a high-powered rifle." This is the Warren Commission’s version of what happened. More to the point, it was the version that law enforcement officials and the media were publicizing when Milteer talked to Somersett.

Rather than having "inside knowledge" that the media were pushing an inaccurate account, Milteer accepts what law enforcement officials and the media were saying!

He does seem to accept that Oswald is a "patsy" that has been manipulated. But he says a "communist group" was manipulated by "the patriots" (presumably, Milteer’s racist buddies) to do the killing.

Does anybody believe it happened this way?

But while a careful reading of Summers and Marrs will make one doubt that Milteer actually had any "inside knowledge" of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy, it’s the stuff that these authors suppress that is the most damning.

A more complete account of what Milteer told Somersett is found in an article in the September 1976 issue of Miami Magazine by Dan Christensen. Titled "JFK, King: The Dade County Links" it provides details omitted from conspiracy books.

Somersett: …I think Kennedy is coming here on the 18th…to make some kind of speech…I imagine it will be on TV.

Milteer: You can bet your bottom dollar he is going to have a lot to say about the Cubans. There are so many of them here.

Somersett: Yeah, well, he will have a thousand bodyguards. Don’t worry about that.

Milteer: The more bodyguards he has the easier it is to get him.

Somersett: Well, how in the hell do you figure would be the best way to get him?

Milteer: From an office building with a high-powered rifle. How many people does he have going around who look just like him? Do you now about that?

Somersett: No, I never heard he had anybody.

Milteer: He has about fifteen. Whenever he goes anyplace, he knows he is a marked man.

Somersett: You think he knows he is a marked man?

Milteer: Sure he does.

Somersett: They are really going to try to kill him?

Milteer: Oh yeah, it is in the working. Brown himself, [Jack] Brown is just as likely to get him as anybody in the world. He hasn’t said so, but he tried to get Martin Luther King.

After a few more minutes of conversation, Somersett again spoke of assassination.

Somersett: Hitting this Kennedy is going to be a hard proposition, I tell you. I believe you may have figured out a way to get him, the office building and all that. I don’t know how the Secret Service agents cover all them office buildings everywhere he is going. Do you know whether they do that or not?

Milteer: Well, if they have any suspicion they do that, of course. But without suspicion, chances are that they wouldn’t. You take there in Washington. This is the wrong time of the year, but in pleasant weather, he comes out of the veranda and somebody could be in a hotel room across the way and pick him off just like that.

Somersett: Is that right?

Milteer: Sure, disassemble a gun. You don’t have to take a gun up there, you can take it up in pieces. All those guns come knock down. You can take them apart.

Before the end of the tape, the conversation returns to Kennedy.

Milteer: Well, we are going to have to get nasty…

Somersett: Yeah, get nasty.

Milteer: We have got to be ready, we have got to be sitting on go, too.

Somersett: Yeah, that is right.

Milteer: There ain’t any count-down to it, we have just go to be sitting on go. Countdown, they can move in on you, and on go they can’t. Countdown is all right for a slow prepared operation. But in an emergency operation, you have got to be sitting on go.

Somersett: Boy if that Kennedy gets shot, we have got to know where we are at. Because you know that will be a real shake…

Milteer: They wouldn’t leave any stone unturned there. No way. They will pick somebody within hours afterwards, if anything like that would happen, just to throw the public off.

Somersett: Oh, somebody is going to have to go to jail, if he gets killed.

Milteer: Just like Bruno Hauptmann in the Lindbergh case, you know.

It seems the conspiracy books leave some things out. They usually don’t tell readers about:

  1. The 15 look-alikes that Kennedy has travelling with him? If you’re going to shoot Kennedy, you wouldn’t want to hit one a’ them look-alikes, would you?
  2. The fact that Milteer named the man who was supposedly going to kill Kennedy — one Jack Brown — and nobody has linked him to the assassination. Interestingly, after the assassination, Brown was forgotten.
  3. The fact that the language about taking a disassembled gun up into a tall building was in the context of shooting Kennedy on the veranda of the White House, in warm weather.

It seems that presenting Milteer as "The Miami Prophet" (Marrs’ term for him) rather than "The Quitman Crackpot" requires withholding information from your readers.

A Generic Scenario

Had JFK been killed by some bizarre or exotic means — poison in his breakfast cereal or a hand grenade thrown into the presidential limo — and Milteer had described that, his statements might be impressive. But in fact he described the most generic possible assassination scenario.

He was far from the only person who did. Dallas Secret Service chief Forest Sorrels was questioned by the Warren Commission about planning for the Dallas motorcade:

Mr. STERN. When you laid out the motorcade route and drove over it — and I take it you drove over it several times —

Mr. SORRELS. Yes, sir.

Mr. STERN. Did you consider or discuss with Mr. Lawson the possibility of any danger to the President from the buildings along the route?

Mr. SORRELS. Well —

Mr. STERN. Did you think about any of the buildings as presenting any particular problem?

Mr. SORRELS. All buildings are a problem, as far as we are concerned. That, insofar as I have been concerned — and I am sure that every member of the Service, especially the Detail — that is always of concern to us. We always consider it a hazard. During the time that we were making this survey with the police, I made the remark that if someone wanted to get the President of the United States, he could do it with a high-powered rifle and a telescopic sight from some building or some hillside, because that has always been a concern to us, about the buildings. (7H338)

Sorrels was not the only person who thought about this. Presidential aide Kenneth O’Donnell recounted to the Warren Commission a conversation that took place in Fort Worth on the very morning of the assassination:

Mr. O’DONNELL. Well, as near as I can recollect he [JFK] was commenting to his wife on the function of the Secret Service and his interpretation of their role once the trip had commenced, in that their main function was to protect him from crowds, and to see that an unruly or sometimes an overexcited crowd did not generate into a riot, at which the President of the United States could be injured. But he said that if anybody really wanted to shoot the President of the United States, it was not a very difficult job — all one had to do was get a high building some day with a telescopic rifle, and there was nothing anybody could do to defend against such an attempt on the President’s life. (7H456)

So did JFK have "foreknowledge" of his own assassination?

Vindicating Milteer: the "Cancelled Motorcade" in Miami

But Milteer’s importance is inflated, in the conspiracy book accounts, by the supposed fact that the Kennedy’s "Miami motorcade" was cancelled because of Milteer’s statements. Marrs claims:

Captain Charles Sapp, head of Miami’s Police Intelligence Bureau, was concerned enough with Milteer’s remarks to alert both the FBI and the Secret Service. Again, apparently no word of this right-wing plot reached Secret Service agents involved in Kennedy’s Dallas trip. Sapp in later years, however, recalled that plans for a Miami motorcade were scrapped and the President instead flew to a scheduled speech by helicopter. (p. 265)

And Summers notes that:

While the Assassinations Committee found no reference in the documentary record, it has been reported that there was a last-minute change in the Miami program. Captain Sapp recalls that a planned motorcade was cancelled — for fear of trouble from the anti-Castro movement. On arriving at Miami Airport late in the day, the President flew by helicopter to and from his speech-making at the Americana Hotel. (p. 405)

Summers is vague and apparently evasive about what the House Select Committee found. In fact, anyone reading their Report should note the following:

A Miami journalist later reported that a decision was made to transport President Kennedy from Miami International Airport to a Miami Beach hotel by helicopter to avoid exposing him to assassins by having him ride in a motorcade. The committee could find no documentation for this report. (p. 230)

For the article written by the Miami journalist [claiming the motorcade was cancelled], see Christensen, Dan, "JFK, King: The Dade County Links," in Miami Magazine, September 1976, p. 25 (JFK Document 003360). Christensen could not document his assertion therein that a planned motorcade was canceled, other than to say that "many people" believed that a cancellation had taken place; see outside contact report with Dan Christensen, Feb. 2, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Document 004434). Persons cited by Christensen as sources for corroboration of his version of the cancellation did not recall that his version was correct; see outside contact report with the Honorable Seymour Gelber, Feb. 2, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Document 005533); outside contact report with Attorney Richard Gerstein, Feb. 2, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Document 013458): interview of Miami field office Special Agent Talmadge Bailey, Mar. 1, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations, pp. 5-7 (JFK Document 009385): and interview of Miami field office Special Agent Robert J. Jamison, Feb. 28, 1978, House Select Committee on Assassinations, p. 2 (JFK Document 007063). (p. 635)

So Christensen, who wrote the otherwise fine article quoted above, began a factoid that has been endlessly repeated in the JFK conspiracy books.

The House Select Committee seemed unaware that a couple of years earlier the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (Church Committee) had studied this issue. On January 9, 1976 the Church Committee sent a letter of inquiry to the Department of the Treasury, outlining the basic "Milteer" story, and noting that "We are also generally aware that President Kennedy visited Miami, Florida on November 18, 1963, and that a scheduled motorcade through downtown Miami was cancelled." The Committee went on to request "A detailed explanation as to why the President’s Miami motorcade was cancelled, including a statement as to whether there was any relationship between the cancellation and Milteer’s threat."

An official response came from James T. Burke, Assistant Director of the Secret Service (Protective Intelligence).

There is no evidence in Service files to indicate a presidential motorcade was planned for the Miami visit. The survey reports indicate helicopter travel was planned from Miami International Airport to Bal Harbor and a motorcade was to be utilized only in case of inclement weather. The Secret Service advance agents for this visit both recall that helicopter travel was planned from the beginning of their survey on 11-11-63. There is no basis for the insinuation that helicopter travel was planned as a result of the Milteer threat.

(Source: National Archives documents: 121-10002-10063 and 121-10002-10064)

More recent research has made it even clearer that no motorcade was cancelled.

Researcher Gordon Winslow found a memo dated November 1, 1963 (over a week before Milteer’s statements), from William Jibb (Administrative Assistant to Senator George Smathers) to Dick Pettigrew (a Florida political operative) outlining the confidential itinerary for Kennedy’s trip to Tampa and Miami. Since Smathers was a Democratic senator from Florida, his staff was heavily involved in planning the trip. Winslow found this in the Smathers collection at the University of Florida in Gainesville.


Gordon Winslow’s web site, Cuban Information Archives, is an excellent source for information on Cuban exiles, and goings-on in Miami.


The schedule has Kennedy arriving at Miami at 5:00 p.m. for a rally at the Miami International Airport. Then at 5:30 it says "Departs from Miami International Airport by helicopter for Americana Hotel on Miami Beach." No motorcade mentioned.

Thus the "cancelled motorcade" factoid, which was debunked in 1976, is being repeated in conspiracy books two decades later (and counting).

One can see why. Inflating the importance of Milteer lends credibility to the notion that he actually knew something about a forthcoming assassination — rather than being merely an extremist given to wild talk. And it allows conspiracy book writers to imply that it was somehow sinister that information about Milteer was not passed along to the Dallas Secret Service — in spite of the fact that Milteer never said anything about a threat to Kennedy in Dallas.

More on the "Cancelled Motorcade"

If conspiracy books should have long since quit repeating the factoid about the "cancelled motorcade," the issue turns out to be a bit more complicated.

Researcher John Fiorentino has established that there was a motorcade in Miami. In fact, there was both a helicopter trip from the airport and a motorcade along a few blocks in downtown Miami, as shown on this aerial photo which Fiorentino has supplied. Indeed, Fiorentino has found a photo from this motorcade.

Although Kennedy indeed departed for the Americana via air, his helicopter actually landed at Haulover Beach Park heliport. From there the President departed by automobile to the Americana.

Here is the President’s itinerary beginning at 5:30 p.m.

5:30 p.m. President left speakers’ stand and, after shaking hands with many in the general public area and guests in the VIP section, boarded helicopter.

5:35 p.m. Helicopter departed airport.

5:45 p.m. Helicopter arrived heliport, Haulover Beach Park.

5:48 p.m. President departed helicopter by automobile.

The presidential car, a Mercury convertible on arrival, and a Continental hardtop on departure, was driven by SA Greer. The Secret Service follow-up car, a Ford convertible, was driven by SA Rybka.

What do we make of this apparently conflicting evidence? Quite simply, as the William Jibb memo proves, a helicopter trip was planned from the beginning. Apparently, in the thinking of people making the plans, the helicopter was taking Kennedy to the "Americana Hotel on Miami Beach," since the chopper landed as close to the hotel as it could.

So the conspiracy books are wrong on two counts. The helicopter trip was planned from well before Milteer spouted off to Somersett. And the motorcade (brief as it was) was never called off.

Vindicating Milteer: Call from Dallas on the Day of the Assassination

But yet another claim about Milteer would provide compelling evidence that Milteer had foreknowledge of the assassination. He supposedly called Somersett from Dallas on the morning of November 22nd, and predicted that Kennedy would be killed. According to Marrs:

On the day of the assassination, Milteer telephoned Somersett, saying he was in Dallas and that Kennedy was due there shortly. Milteer commented that Kennedy would never be seen in Miami again. (Crossfire, p. 265)

Groden and Livingstone, in High Treason (Baltimore: The Conservatory Press, 1989, p. 408) assert:

At 10:30 A.M. on November 22, Somersett received a phone call in Miami from Milteer in Dallas, stating that President Kennedy would be there that day and would not be visiting Miami again.

And Henry Hurt, in Reasonable Doubt (New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1985, p. 411) claims:

On November 22, Milteer telephoned his "friend," the informant and told him he was in Dallas. Prior to the midday events, Milteer told the informant that Kennedy was expected in Dallas that day and would probably never again visit Miami.

Damning. But is it true?

Photo of Milteer in Dealey Plaza?

One piece of evidence offered to support the presence of Milteer in Dallas is a blow-up from a photo by James Altgens of the presidential limo on Houston Street, just seconds before the turn on Elm. The photo is shown below, with an arrow pointing to the "Milteer" figure.

Robert Groden, in The Killing of a President, shows his readers the photo, and then claims:

Milteer stood on Houston Street, next to eyewitnesses Carolyn Walther and Pearl Springer. While the crowd about him called out greetings to the President, Milteer stood silently, his right arm held up at a 90 degree angle. Then the first shots were fired. As pandemonium erupted in the Plaza, Milteer quietly disappeared into the crowds. (p. 196)

The House Select Committee was aware of the "Milteer" figure, and put its panel of photographic experts to work on it. The panel was unconvinced. First, they pointed out two facial features that clearly differentiated the spectator on Houston Street and Milteer.

 

All of the available Milteer photographs show the membranous portion of Milteer’s upper lip was very thin. The enhanced photographs of the spectator suggest a rather full and thick upper lip. This is not a trait apt to be influenced by normal variation in facial expression.

In the earliest photographs Milteer has a full, regular hairline with no central or lateral retreat suggestive of incipient baldness. In the photograph that was apparently taken when Milteer was about 55 years old, his hairline is virtually identical to that of the earlier photographs. The latest photograph, taken about a decade after the assassination, shows Milteer with a full head of hair. The spectator, however, appears to have little, if any, hair. The extent of the balding, though, could not be ascertained; no hairline is visible, and in fact, the entire frontal crown of the head appears bare.

But the height of the spectator provided even more conclusive evidence:

The only available height record of Milteer gives his stature as 64 inches. This corresponds to about the seventh statural percentile of American males. That is, about 93 out of 100 adult American men would be taller than Milteer. Also, about 35 percent of adult American females would exceed Milteer’s reported height. In contrast, the spectator alleged to be Milteer is taller than 4 of the 7 other males and all of the 16 females in the line of spectators shown in the motorcade photograph. Based upon Milteer’s reported height, the probability of randomly selecting a group of Americans where so many are shorter than Milteer’s reported height is .0000007. Moreover, an analysis based upon actual measurements of certain physical features shown in the photograph yields a height estimate for the spectator of about 70 inches — 6 inches taller than Milteer’s reported stature. (HSCA Volume 6, pp. 242-257)

In short: the spectator wasn’t Milteer. He didn’t even particularly look like Milteer.

Somersett’s Account

So Willie Somersett’s account is the only evidence of Milteer being in Dallas on the day of the assassination. Unlike the November 9 conversation, which was taped by Somersett, we have only Somersett’s word for Milteer’s "call from Dallas." And interestingly, his earliest accounts don’t mention any such call.

Consider for example a transcript of an interview he had with the Miami Police Department just four days after the assassination.

MIAMI POLICE INFORMANT

INFORMATION ON MILTEER

November 26, 1963

PAGE 4

[….]

Q: Do you know whether this Milteer has ever spent any time in New Orleans?

A: He said that he had been to New Orleans and that he had been to Dallas Texas. This probably would have been 5-6 months ago, he didn’t specify a certain time, but he was in New Orleans, Dallas, and Gulfport Mississippi, and in Biloxi, Mississippi and in Jackson, and he spent quite a time in Alabama.

[….]

Q: Do you have any idea of your own thought, what is your thought, do you think maybe Milteer could have been in Dallas, Texas in the last two weeks?

A: Yes, he could have been there, I am satisfied that he could have been most anywhere he wanted; he has two cars ready to move at anytime.

Q: You have seen no evidence that he was there?

A: No. He didn’t say that he was, the only thing he said that he had been in Texas.

Q: He didn’t say when he had been in Texas?

A. No, he didn’t say. He had been in New Orleans, Houston, different places in Louisiana and in Texas.

Not only does Somersett fail to mention the "phone call from Dallas," he fails to mention it in the precise context of whether Milteer had been in Texas. Milteer’s conversation with Somersett included some wild and some very nasty statements, but not that particular one.

The "Milteer called from Dallas story" seems to have originated in Somersett’s conversations with Jim Garrison’s cockamamie investigation. It can be found in "MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION BETWEEN [BUD] FENSTERWALD AND BILL SOMERSETT" from the New Orleans District Attorney’s office. It’s National Archives document 180-10099-10133. Dated June 5, 1968, it’s the first known instance of Somersett mentioning this supposed incident.

Somersett had some other interesting things to say in this interview. For example:

Milterr’s [sic] account of the shooting in Dallas is that Ruby shot from the Mall and that Tippett [sic] shot from the top of a building. A good guess is that this was the Daltex Building. Milterr [sic] was not clear about Oswald’s role although he thought he was downstairs in the book depository rather than on an upper floor. Somersett guesses that it might have been Milterr [sic] himself that fired the shots from the windows of the book depository.

Somersett appears, by this time, to have become rather a buff! While it’s difficult to disentangle Milteer’s crackpot notions from things added by Somersett, one gets the clear impression that Somersett is "improving" on Milteer’s account a bit. Certainly the "phone call on the morning of the assassination" seems to be a Somersett addition to the story, with no basis in fact. Further, Somersett’s silly scenario with multiple shooters differs from Milteer’s recorded account which had only a single gunman in a tall building.

How reliable was Somersett?

Not surprisingly, authorities who had been receiving information from Somersett were becoming skeptical. A Secret Service memorandum of March 10, 1967, describes some of the things Somersett claimed to have heard from Milteer, and notes:

The informant, William Somersett (CO-2-43,860), who has furnished information in a number of cases involving Presidential interest, has been described as overenthusiastic, prone to exaggeration, and mentally unstable.

This is National Archives document 180-10091-10212.

But even in 1963, Federal authorities considered Somersett a rather suspect informant. It is true that a November 27, 1963 FBI letterhead memorandum describes Somersett as "a source who has furnished reliable information in the past, and in addition has furnished some information that could not be verified or corroborated . . . " (Record Number 124-10008-10267). However, an FBI memorandum from Rosen to Belmont written on the same day says:

It should be noted that Somersett was discontinued as an informant in 1961 for indiscretions on his part which threatened to expose a reliable Bureau informant and that Somersett is regarded as a "professional informant" who is in the business of furnishing information primarily for monetary gains.

[…]

In connection with the investigation of the Birmingham bombings, Somersett furnished information bordering on the fantastic, which investigation failed to corroborate. (Archives Record Number 124-10012-10306)

Thus conspiracy authors have been ill-advised indeed to accept the "phone call from Dallas" on Somersett’s uncorroborated testimony. But it gets worse. There is solid evidence Milteer wasn’t in Dallas. The following is a report from the United States Secret Service — Atlanta office, dated 11/27/63.

SYNOPSIS

Check on potentially dangerous
persons November 22-25, 1963.
All accounted for. PRS so advised.

DETAILS OF INVESTIGATION

Immediately after learning of the President’s assassination at Dallas we began ascertaining the whereabouts of known subjects who might be suspected.

Capt. R.E. Little, Intelligence Division, Atlanta Police Department, had seen J. B. Stoner in Atlanta one hour before the assassination. He is, we feel, the most likely of the group to do something drastic.

FBI Agent Charles Harding contacted their agent at Thomasville who immediately ascertained that J.A. Milteer was in Quitman at the time of the assassination.

We also learned that Lee McCloud was in Atlanta.

Herbert Wallace Butterworth, according to FBI Agent Harding, was in Philadelphia at the time and was under surveillance. They continued surveillance until after the funeral on November 25.

Olga Butterworth, sister of Wallace, was at her home in Wallingford, Pennsylvania.

Inspector Torina called me on November 24 — and a little later SA Holmes from PRS — requesting that we review files and advise if any dangerous subject might appear in Washington. I informed them of our previous check. (National Archives document 180-10091-10198)

Several other documents reiterate the finding that Milteer was in Quitman. For example, an FBI memorandum from Rosen to Belmont written on November 27, 1963 says:

Atlanta has advised that investigation indicates there is no truth in the information furnished by Somersett and that Milteer was in Quitman, Georgia, on 11/22/63. (Archives Record Number 124-10012-10306)

The day before, an "Urgent" teletype from SAC Atlanta to "Director" [Hoover] and the SACs in Birmingham and Dallas said:

J. A. MILTEER RESIDE [sic] QUITMAN, GA. INVESTIGATION HAS INDICATED MILTEER WAS IN QUITMAN ON NOV. TWENTYTW [sic] TWO, SIXTYTHREE. (Archives Document Number 124-10012-10384)

Conclusion

Rather than having any "foreknowledge" of the assassination, Milteer gave a generic assassination scenario virtually identical to one that John Kennedy himself articulated. Mixed in were wacky elements that conspiracy books conceal from their readers. No Miami motorcade was cancelled because of his ranting, and he was not in Dallas on the day of the assassination.

Given Milteer’s extreme right-wing politics and his hobnobbing with potentially violent types, it’s tempting to believe that he must have "gotten wind" of some real assassination plot. The problem is that there just isn’t any evidence of it. The "Milteer story" has been known for over 30 years, and researchers have been unable to connect him or his associates to any of the "usual suspects" in the assassination — the CIA, anti-Castro Cubans, Texas millionaires, defense contractors. He was "connected" to the FBI alright. They were spying on him.

Although Milteer’s rag-tag racist associates were capable of violence, they lacked the technical expertise to pull off an elaborate assassination plot. And they lacked the friends in high places that would have been necessary to pull off a "coverup" of a killing they did.

By 1967 the Secret Service decided that Milteer was not dangerous nor a security risk. He was, quite simply, a crackpot who shot off his mouth and in doing so gained an entirely unmerited place in Kennedy assassination conspiracy books.

    The JFK Assassination: It Was Johnson

    Cloak and Dagger

    Perspective.

    Without it you can never understand why President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. In 1963, the South was risking civil war over desegregation. Riots throughout the south had already killed federal marshals and countless Civil Rights workers. The army, air force, navy, marines, and intelligence services were no more eager to integrate. The Ku Klux Klan was in full force, and had, by 1963, made numerous death threats against Kennedy, the last of which correctly predicted the date, time and place: Dallas, November 22, 1963. Before that, in Miami, a Klansman named Joseph Milteer was recorded as he predicted the assassination would take place from an office building, with a high powered rifle. He predicted a patsy would be quickly arrested. He predicted that the Cubans and communists would be set up to take the blame and that the right-wing would escape any blame.

    All of these predictions came to pass, except one: Castro and the Russians could not be blamed, because the KGB had conclusive evidence that Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson was responsible for the assassination. Indeed, not long afterwards, Robert F. Kennedy would confront Johnson directly and ask "why did you have my brother killed?"Thus, the plans to invade Cuba for the false flag operation that killed Kennedy were scrapped. Instead, the war machine turned its attention to Vietnam.

    Here’s a look at the key players acting under Johnson, their varied motivations, and who gained from the assassination…


    RFK Confronts LBJ on Why he Killed His Brother

    The Klan’s Lodge Recruitment Strategy

    Klan meeting in- you guessed it- a Masonic lodge, circa 1964. This is one reason secrecy and deception are the hallmark of the lodge then and today.

    Klansmen recruited in Masonic lodges. Masons were told desegregation was a Communist plot, and that it was their duty to "protect Southern heritage" or "defend America" against Communism by subverting federal rulings ordering the integration of schools. Attacking the Civil Rights movement and its leaders was attacking Communism, Klan leaders claimed. In reality, they were attacking and subverting federal law.

    Not an Accident, an Homage

    US Navy Barracks in Coronado, CA. The groundbreaking of this building was in 1967, a time when racial tensions divided not just civilians but the armed forces. This overt Nazi swastika awas designed to be viewed only from the air, and only the most naive and gullible would believe the symbolism was accidental. The naval staff that approved or even commissioned the design saw the architect’s plans even before any construction began. In the 60’s there were over 5,000,000 American freemasons. Among them, protected by sympathizers or condoned by silence, there were militant segregationists (Klansmen) whom were able to infiltrate the military and recruit members, and elect their own to high office, e.g. the Senate and Congress. The Klan is a Masonic society that even then was about 100 years old, and it was its numbers which gave it the significance afforded it here…

    "Threat to assassinate President Kennedy inDallas Texas, November 22, 1963…"
    A Nov 17, 1963 FBI telex details J. Edgar Hoover’s cynical request to maintain updates through "logical racial hate group informants to determine if any basis for threat…" Once received, the warnings would be dutifully scrapped by Hoover, and these informants had a nasty tendency to pay dearly for their patriotic duty- their attempts to protect President Kennedy often cost them their lives.
    Note the reference to a planned assassination plot by a militant segregationist group [the Klan, White Citizens Council, et al], which had led to the cancellation of Kennedy’s trip to Miami, Florida days earlier (below).

    FBI Tapes: The Klan in Florida and Dallas

    How close did the segregationists bring us to civil war in 1963? Closer than you think. Observe the following historical clips for perspective. Once it became clear the assassination was orchestrated by militant right-wing segregationists, retribution would have been certain and devastating.

    Jim Garrison’s Clay Shaw Trial of 1967 would link Johnson to the obvious coup.

    Milteer worked for Wallace and Thurmond
    Joseph Milteerworked on both Strom Thurmond and George Wallace’s presidential campaigns, both of whom ran on fervent segregationist platforms.
    What happened to George Wallace, i.e., the shooting during his presidential campaign which left him paralyzed, may be directly linked to his possible involvement in the Kennedy assassinations. "Lone nuts" are remarkably common means of deadly political retribution. Wallace was also linked with Thane Eugene Caesar, a key figure in the assassination of RFK.

    Like E. Howard Hunt, President Lyndon Johnson’s Personal Attorney Admits Johnson Killed JFK
    In 1967, Jim Garrison’s case against Clay Shaw wasn’t just about Shaw. Shaw was a way to get to a much larger fish: Johnson. And Johnson knew this. The Garrison case implied Johnson was to blame for Kennedy’s assassination, and the findings in that trial actually helped lead to Johnson’s refusal to run in 1968…despite Shaw’s acquittal. At the time of the assassination and until his death, Johnson was represented by a law firm partnered by Barr McClellan, the author of "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.". So in terms of credibility, you can’t get a better source: the very lawyers who defended Johnson against accusations of complicity. An interesting quote by the author, Barr McClellan: "When asked if he was concerned for the safety of his twin sons, he said: ‘The Democrats are pretty much out of power, really, in the state of Texas. So…they’re in good shape.’" (Barr McClellan is father of Bush White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan)

    Warren Commission Member andPresident Gerald Ford Confessed CIA Cover-Up of JFK Assassination, Directly Implicating Johnson

    But why Johnson?

    Simple. Only the newly sworn-in President Lyndon Johnson had full control of the CIA and FBI immediately after the assassination. No one else had this authority. Moreover, Johnson’s suspect presidential orders regarding the case dismiss any argument he was unaware of the cover-up. As Vice-President Lyndon Johnson’s ties to organized crime led to Kennedy dropping him from the ticket in 1964, Johnson found ready, secret allies in the planners of a segregationist-t-masonic coup consisting chiefly of high level Klansmen in high office and the military and members of the intelligence communities recently fired by Kennedy over the Bay of Pigs. The Klan, before you dismiss them too soon, was a major political force in the South and was the engine behind segregation and the deadly attacks on the Civil Rights movement. It was a national movement which chapters, or Klaverns, in almost every state and was an organized, monstrous political apparatus dating back to the early twenties, when membership had reached approximately 5,000,000. On November 9, 1963, one Klansman had already predicted Kennedy would be killed in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and moreover, Klan death death threats had also led to cancellation of Kennedy’s Miami visit.

    That member, Joseph Milteer, even predicted in a secret recording that Kennedy would be killed from an office building, with a high-powered rifle, and that a patsy would be arrested immediately thereafter. It is telling that the man whom Johnson chose to head the Warren Commission was himself a former leader in the KKK, Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. Is it any wonder if any evidence pointing to the Klan’s involvement, no matter how small, was immediately discounted by the Warren Commission? Earl Warren had become progressive by then, since after all, he was the one that helped desegregate the schools, but the protection of the Klan made it clear that he chose to undermine the investigation from day one. Maybe he believed Johnson’s claim: that exposing the segregationist role in the killing would incite civil war. Maybe it was a cop-out because he knew it would reflect terribly on his past, as a Klan leader in Bakersfield, CA. After all Hugo Black, another Supreme Court justice, never lived down his Klan affiliations either.

    The most compelling witnesses implicating Johnson, directly and indirectly, included at least two members of Warren Commission members:

    • Barr McClellan, Johnson’s personal lawyer, who outlined Johnson’s leading role in the assassination and the motives behind it..
    • President Gerald Ford, a Warren Commission member who admitted the CIA was clearly responsible for destroying critical evidence and covering-up the Kennedy assassination. Like now, back then the CIA answered only to the president of the United States. In 1963, the moment Kennedy died, it was Johnson.
    • Hale Boggs, another member of the Warren Commission
    • Howard Hunt, A CIA operative in Dallas on the day of the assassination. He was one of the infamous "three tramps" photographed as they were being led by a Dallas officer with a Klan insignia on his left sleeve. He asserted Johnson was the mastermind and pointed out the obvious, that all roads led to Johnson and that only he could have controlled all the federal branches needed to maintain a cover-up of that magnitude; such as the FBI and and CIA.
    • Johnson’s Mistress, Madeline Brown, who was with him the night prior to the assassination.

    Madeline Brown made for an interesting witness indeed. She described a meeting with Johnson that included H.L. Hunt, J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolsen, Richard M. Nixon, John J. McCloy.

    "Tension filled the room upon his arrival," Brown said. "The group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later Lyndon, anxious and red-faced, reappeared… Squeezing my hand so hard, it felt crushed from the pressure, he spoke with a grating whisper, a quiet growl, into my ear, not a love message, but one I’ll always remember: "After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again – that’s no threat – that’s a promise."

    It’s important to note that John J. McCloy, whom Brown claimed was present at that meeting, was a member of the now discredited Warren Commission which "investigated" the assassination, appointed by none other than Johnson. Nixon himself was in Dallas on the day of the assassination.

    As Vice-President Lyndon Johnson’s ties to organized crime led to Kennedy dropping him from the ticket in 1964, Johnson found ready allies in a segregationist-masonic coup consisting chiefly of high level Klansmen in local and federal office.

    Indeed, in 1963, at least two Supreme Court Justices were once members of the KKK, and knowing even "former" Klansmen were masonically oathbound to protect their own, Johnson would appoint one of them, Chief Justice Earl Warren, to lead a mock investigation of the assassination. Warren was a former Klan leader in Bakersfield, California. At the moment of Kennedy’s death, Johnson assumed Executive power, and had all the resources of the army, navy, CIA, FBI, etc. to conceal and destroy evidence, silence witnesses and intimidate the press.

    Klan death threats had led to a cancellation of a Miami visit in 1963, but on Nov. 9, 1963, almost two weeks before the assassination, Klansman Joseph Milteer detailed a plot to kill Kennedy in Dallas, from an office building with a high powered rifle. The recording of this conversation can be heard here.

    The videos below should clearly demonstrate the power of the segregationists, particularly Klansman, in the months preceding Kennedy’s death. It took federal troops to bring the first black students to all white schools, and what ensued as a result were literally deadly riots throughout the south.

    In November of 1963, fueled by a backlash against African-American voter registration drives in the Deep South and school desegregation efforts across the nation; the Ku Klux Klan was at its most powerful since the 1920s. For the first time, even churches offered no sanctuary, as they were targeted with a vengeance. In the 1960s, and at the time of the assassination, at least twoSupreme Court Justices, Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Hugo Black, were tied to the KKK. Kennedy’s civil rights stand, and his sending of federal troops to protect the first black student to enroll in the University of Alabama, was in fact declared an act of war by the Klan. Nor did it help that Kennedy was the first Catholic president the nation ever had: the KKK hates Catholics as much as it hates Jews and Blacks. To see a leaflet of what was expected from a member of the Klan, click here.

    "We do not accept Jews, because they reject Christ, and, through the machinations of their International Banking Cartel, are at the root center of what we call "communism" today. We do not accept Papists [Catholics], because they bow to a Roman dictator, in direct violation of the First Commandment, and the True American Spirit of Responsible, Individual Liberty. We do not accept Turks, Mongols, Tarters, Orientals, Negroes, nor any other person whose native background of culture is foreign to the Anglo-Saxon system of Government by responsible, FREE individual citizens."

    Also see Pope Leo XIII’s Encyclical on Freemasonry of April 20, 1884. More on the long standing feud between the freemasons and the Catholics, as most evident in northern Ireland with the Orangemen freemasons and the Catholics. The Klan was founded by Scottish Rite freemasons.

    UPDATE Jan 23, 2007: E. Howard Hunt Dead

    Convicted Watergate burglar, suspected "Third Tramp" in Dallas, and CIA operative E. Howard Hunt, 88, finally comes clean on what is obvious to anyone but a few masonic History Channel pseudo-historians: Lyndon Baines Johnson Killed Kennedy. He should know: evidence places him in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

    "LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place," Hunt writes, according to the tabloid. "He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. [John] Connolly, to ride with him instead of in JFK’s car – where…he would have been out of danger."

    A blurb from Hunt’s publisher states that in American Spy, "a legendary CIA operative and central figure in the Watergate scandal at last tells his story."

    Incidentally, you may be interested in the phone calls Johnson made to Washington Post columnist Joseph Alsop right after the assassination as efforts were made to create a truly independent commission.

    Johnson calls the Washington Post

    In that same week, the day after the assassination, Johnson spoke with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. 14 minutes of this conversation has been erased.

    The 14 Minute Gap Short documentary discusses the erasure of a Lyndon Johnson Presidential phone call to J. Edgar Hoover recorded less than 24 hours after the assassination of President Kennedy. More here.

    Now, kind reader, this is no call for anarchy. This is a call for you to search your conscience. You know when you’re being lied to by the press and broadcast media, and that it happens all the time. That doesn’t mean you have to ignore their arrogance, their appeals for your silence is an appeal for your complicity in treason, in murder. Do not be silent, question the lie and the brotherhood of corruption that peddles it, as this your civic duty.

    A particular American, a war hero, was murdered in cold blood, in front of women and children. What was left of his body was deliberately mutilated to prevent forensic examination, and witnesses to his murder were intimidated and silenced. Evidence was destroyed. Yet throughout this all, the obvious culprit was inescapable and known to authorities, as if the voice of the dead cried out for justice. This was our president, President John F. Kennedy.

    The men who gained from this murder are not all dead, some remain in power, such as Sen. Arlen Specter. But they are not the only ones alive, or the only ones protected by the establishment press.

    "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can for your country." President Kennedy is often quoted as saying.

    What you can do, the very least you can do for your country, is avoid the complicity of silence that damns us all, and call the broadcast media and the press into account…

    Sen. Arlen Specter’s role? Protect Coup Lynchpin, V.P. Lyndon Johnson, and Brother Segregationist Masons implicated in the JFK Assassination
    The South’s Masonic Segregationist Brotherhood Risks Civil War in 1963
    • How Lyndon Johnson used JFK’s enemies to assassinate him;
    • The South’s Masonic Segregationist Brotherhood Risks Civil War in 1963 over Integration;
    • How the Klan threatened and predicted the killing of President Kennedy in Dallas, detailing the use of a scapegoat and high powered rifle to be fired from an office building;
    • The use of Dallas police officials in the Klan who would instigate the initial stages of the cover-up with fired CIA agents;
    • How right-wing militant Attempts to Blame Cuba for Assassination were thwarted by Warren Commission;
    • Why Specter’s Magic Bullet Theory made him an accomplice after the fact

    These facts are self-evident: in 1963, much of American society still supported segregation, and it wasn’t just the south. The militant branch of this element found a means to undermine recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly the desegregation of public schools, in masonic lodges throughout the country. This was especially so in the south, since Southern masonry included members in law enforcement, politicians, lawyers, judges, publishers, etc.

    There in the secrecy of the Brotherhood, hypocrites and pseudo-moderates whom publicly praised the popular civil rights movement were trying desperately to undermine it and its leaders inside the lodge.

    Those who found the thought of black children attending public schools and universities odious enough to risk civil war over it weren’t just Anglo-Saxon bigots in the Craft, some were right-wing masonic Jewish leaders like Arlen Specter, the Worshipful Master of the Laws of Physics, whose own children- being white- never faced the same type of discrimination as blacks in America, whose own children were never turned away from public schools and universities. Indeed, in 1968, when King and RFK were assassinated, over 5 million Americans were segregationist freemasons, with both Gentile and to a smaller extent, Jewish members.

    All of them were white, conservative males and most of them so opposed to civil rights they would do anything in their power to secretly undermine federal law, starting at the local level and ending at the Supreme Court, where at least two Supreme Court Justices, Hugo Black and Chief Justice Earl Warren, had ties to the KKK but distanced themselves from the ideology long ago, giving us the same desegregation ruling their former kin were rioting over in the south.

    Because the KKK was implicated in the JFK assassination from the very beginning,Warren- as an ex-Klan leader in San Bernadino, California- had a conflict of interest in taking over the investigation, which was precisely why Johnson chose him. Warren had a duty to recuse himself from the case. He didn’t. And what we got was a mockery of justice so obscene even Nixon called the Warren Commission "the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind." Worse, the true extent of the Klan’s "Invisible Empire" in our executive, judicial and legislative branches of government was concealed for over 40 years, and this was due largely to segregationist and bigot press assets recruited into the same society.

    Some say it was the Mafia who killed JFK, some say it was the CIA and FBI, some say the Klan, and some say it was elements of the military. Before you miss the forest for the trees, stop a moment, and consider this: Not everyone could be in the FBI or CIA, not everyone could be a general, a Supreme Court Chief Justice, a network executive, a major publisher or a mob boss. But just about anyone in the all-white FBI, CIA, Supreme Court and Mafia of 1963 could be a member of the KKK. And many were, particularly Klansmen recruited in Masonic lodges. They were told desegregation was a Communist plot, and that it was their duty to "protect Southern heritage" or "defend America" against Communism by subverting federal rulings ordering the integration of schools. Civil Rights movement and its leaders was attacking Communism, Klan leaders claimed. In reality, and obvious to everyone else, they were attacking and subverting federal law.

    And in Johnson’s case, the great majority of fellow masons in federal and local law enforcement were subservient to his degree, and had to bend to his whims, secretly subverting the law and often without explanation. In 1963, they numbered over five million in the US alone. Among those in the freemasonic societies were Klansmen. The Ku Klux Klan was simply another branch of freemasonry, and there are many branches of it with many names. For our purposes, "freemasons" will be defined as male, white-only secret societies who met in Masonic lodges consisting largely of segregationists, such as the Scottish Rite.

    In this massive secret "fraternity" of freemasons there were militant segregationists (Klansmen) whom were able to infiltrate the military and recruit members, and elect their own to high office, e.g. the Senate and Congress. The Klan is a Masonic society that even then was almost 100 years old, and it was its numbers which gave it the significance afforded it here…

    Segregationists Use Cold War to Discredit Civil Rights Movement as Communist, Provoke Invasion of Cuba

    FBI director Hoover was one of many Masonic leaders of the time to claim that the Civil Rights movement was a Communist plot. Integration, he claimed, was introduced by the Commies to destroy America and it is no mystery that he secretly attempted to smear Martin Luther King as a Communist sympathizer.

    The CIA and FBI segregationists in the plot, knowing Kennedy would be mourned, also tried to pin the assassination on the Communists by creating a pro-Castro patsy in Lee Harvey Oswald. This was the element New Orleans DA Jim Garrison discovered: a segregationist plot to kill the president, blame Castro and use the public outcry to win support for an invasion of communist Cuba. This was, in fact, already a tactic in the CIA playbook:

    "…a) The precision rifle. In guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle should always be considered as a possibility. Absolute reliability can nearly always be achieved at a distance of one hundred yards. In ideal circumstances, the range may be extended to 250 yards. Public figures or guarded officials may be killed with great reliability and some safety if a firing point can be established prior to an official occasion. The propaganda value of this system may be very high…. "

    CIA Assassination Manual; Operation PB Success, 1954

    The segregationists wanted a fellow mason as President, and Lyndon Johnson, as VP and as a mason, was in the position to make a coup possible. It would have been impossible otherwise, because if Johnson was true to Kennedy and his own office, there would have been no cover-up by federal authorities. Kennedy’s limo wouldn’t have been washed and refurbished, as Johnson ordered, destroying all evidence therein that pointed to multiple trajectories. Indeed, of all the missing evidence in the Kennedy assassination, most of it pertains to that which could be used to prove ballistic trajectories; that is, evidence that substantiated witness, film, analog and photographic evidence of multiple shooters. All such evidence, including Kennedy’s brain, was in the hands of people hired by, and controlled by Johnson.

    Johnson had motives rooted in self-preservation to volunteer for the coup, as he was already facing conspiracy and/or murder charges in Texas for the murder of agricultural agent Henry Marshall, and he knew Kennedy planned to drop him from the ticket in ’64 for that very reason- his mafia ties and the uncovered Texas murder sprees.

    But he also knew that segregation would be key to uniting the segregationist conspirators in the CIA, FBI, military, etc. To call Johnson a bigot would be incorrect, he was not, but he did hate the Kennedys enough to lead him into a segregationist ambush in Dallas. Johnson, as a mason, was surrounded by segregationists, such as SR 33rd degree mason J. Edgar Hoover, and he used them to do his dirty work when it was convenient. He did, however, generally act independently once in power, making it clear to all that the segregationists he used in the coup that they would not dictate his agenda. Or did he?

    Despite signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and pushing for it, Johnson, was also the lynchpin in the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. In the case of RFK, Johnson knew RFK was on to him, and should Robert Kennedy become president not only would he face justice but so would all those who helped him. As for King, then protesting fiercely against the Vietnam war, his assassination would not have been possible without Johnson’s wink and nod. That is another story, however, to be covered later.

    The Rise of the Neo-Segregationist on "Liberal" and Conservative Networks

    Those segregationists of the 60s are still highly visible figures thanks to network executives hoping to legitimize a neo-segregationist movement which has already eliminated every black senator and congressman from the GOP. Among them is "former" Klansman Pat Buchanan, a fierce segregationist and unabashed white supremacist, Sen. Trent Lott, Sen. Robert Byrd, etc. But these are just the obvious ones. Leaders who favored segregation, secretly, you don’t know. They are in both parties, and the only thing you do know is that they are not just tacit fraternal brothers in silly aprons, they are married in spirit and intentions. They are network executives in CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, they are publishers, they are businessmen, lawyers, and judges. Their secret handshake is a big middle finger to you and the rule of law.

    If you don’t believe it, ask yourself these simple questions:

    How is it that an extremist group, with a history of terrorism ranging from the murder of political leaders to the bombing of federal buildings and churches nationwide, can do so under the banner of "free speech"?

    How is it that a group which has plotted cyanide gas attacks against Americans as recently as 2003; how is it this group of extremist, anti-American terrorists can have each and every atrocity excused as "lone nut" activity far removed from the the group the "lone nut(s)" belonged to, a group which publicly threatened and promoted the same violence before it happened? How is it? One would think those in charge were sympathetic to, were members of, or once members of the same terrorist group. And one would be right.

    We are, of course, talking about the Klan. We are, of course, talking about a terrorist group whose violent activities are defended by BOTH parties as an innocent and harmless cross-burning, secret fraternal brotherhood exercising their free speech, a free speech unique in that it includes a right to kill and terrorize Americans under the banner of the First Amendment.

    This can only be so if both parties have members whom tacitly endorse or excuse the activity of these fellow masons, and make no mistake, the Klan is a Masonic organization and always was. They meet in the lodge, when not out burning crosses, and though many masons in other secret orders who meet therein detest them, they are in denial about the actual number of neo-segregationists in the Brotherhood as a whole.

    Nor can they ignore the obvious as they hold their tongues, being oathbound to silence as a prerequisite to seeing the "light": powerful men in the highest levels of office, fellow masons, protect the Klan because secretly they share the same ideals, which if spoken aloud, would cost them their seats. Sen. Robert Byrd, a Klan recruiter and Democrat, for example, calls his own membership in the Klan a "youthful indiscretion" but if you think about it, it’s a claim easily countered. If you ask Sen. Byrd, under oath, to testify against other Klansmen past and present, or answer yes or no as whether he was involved in, or even witnessed any Klan lynching or murder, you will have the true sum of his "remorse." The Democrats won’t call him on it, because they know it will condemn them all. And the GOP won’t call him on it because their party has even more extremists, and besides, both parties have members who meet in the same temple of secrecy.

    As for the Klan agenda, if the aforementioned supposition of Klan sympathy and membership in the highest levels of federal office is true, it follows there would be a parallel agenda from its members in both parties. And that, too, is there. Clearly there.

    "At their annual meeting last June in Indianapolis, the Baptists also adopted a resolution against secret societies, which reads in part: ‘we … call upon all Christians to … [avoid] any association which conflicts with clear Biblical … teachings concerning the taking of oaths, the secrecy of activities, mystical knowledge, or racial discrimination’….Dr. James Holly of Beaumont, Texas, told me this [the Lutheran ban on joining freemasonry] was aimed at the known fact that white Freemasonry is affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan…"

    President John Quincy Adams on the Masonic Press

    President John Quincy Adams, in his Address to the People of Massachusetts, said of the Masonic press:

    "I saw slander organize into a secret, widespread and affiliated agency…….I saw self-invoked imprecations of throats cut from ear to ear, of hearts and vitals torn out and cast off and hung on spires. I saw wine drunk from a human skull with solemn invocation of all the sins of its owner upon the head of him who drank it."

    A Warning Against Freemasonry Unheeded

    JFK address to newspaper publishers regarding secret societies, April 27, 1961.

    "I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County…. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …."
    Sen. Robert Byrd, as a a KKK recruiter, in a letter to Imperial Wizard Samuel Green of Atlanta, April 8, 1946. This letter was written AFTER Byrd claimed to have left the Klan. 18 years later, his notorious filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act was behavior consistent with other unrepentant "ex-Klansmen" who remained in office. These men publicly distanced themselves from the domestic terrorists, yet privately condoned or advanced Klan agendas; e.g., killing civil rights legislation or appointingsympathetic judges.
    In another letter Byrd wrote that he would never serve in the military:
    "…with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

    Segregationists Risked Civil War to Keep this Girl from Attending a White High School

    Whether aired on conservative or "liberal" channels, racist neo-segregationists such as Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are given airtime to make segregation palatable to unwary audiences who never lived through it. These pundits form a self-styled elite, spawned of an Ancient and Accepted Brotherhood of domesticated blueblood carnie rejects on a crusade to carry on the work of segregationist Masters. Idols like George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, etc., one of whom "stood up to the federal tyranny" of desegregation and lined Central High Schoolwith the Arkansas National Guard that nine black school children be denied an education (see above).

    The Zapruder Film: This film, which Specter and the Warren Commission tried desperately to keep from the American public, is the most chilling proof ofSpecter’s impossible trajectory. The force of the fatal head shot thrusts Kennedy’s head backward, which means he was facing the shooter.

    In fact, numerous witness reported that their testimony was creatively edited to contradict their own written testimony.

    Concealing the Throat Wound

    Dr. Malcom Perry, one of Kennedy’s attending surgeons at Parkland Memorial Hospital, noted there "was an entrance wound below his Adam’s apple." Later, the Warren Commission, faced with yet more evidence of multiple shooters, would attempt to deny this entrance wound existed, offering the implausible contention that it was a tracheotomy….on a man that was dead on arrival. Indeed, there was no swelling or discoloration on Kennedy’s face, indicating he died instantly.

    Johnson did this…Kennedy’s Missing Brain n
    The whereabouts of Kennedy’s brain remain a mystery, and it’s a shame too, because not only did it hold bullet fragments, it conclusively proved trajectory. It was last seen in a steel bucket, preserved in a formaldehyde solution in Admiral Calvin Galloway’ cabinet in Bethesda Hospital, Maryland. This was critical evidence, because it not only verified the trajectory of the fatal head shot, but through bullet slivers which were found in the first set of x-rays taken in Parkland Memorial Hospital, proved more than one weapon was used. At least two bullet fragments in Kennedy’s face betrayed the presence of mercury loaded ammunition, traces of which were found on brain tissue in what are now missing slides.

    JFK’s Casket Dumped at Sea

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A bronze casket used to transport President Kennedy’s body from Dallas to Washington was dropped from a military plane into the ocean two years after he was killed, according to assassination documents. Kermit L. Hall, a member of the now-defunct Assassination Records Review Board, said Friday that documents to be released Tuesday by the National Archives show that the casket was flown several miles off the Maryland-Delaware coast in early 1965 and dumped in an area where the military discards unstable and outdated weapons and ammunition. The reasons for the disposal aren’t clear, but it fuels speculation among assassination researchers that it was discarded to hide foul play.

    Mac Wallace, a Johnson Crony and Convicted Hitman in the Sniper’s Nest
    According to the Warren Report t, there was a single fingerprint lifted from the carton designated "A" in the "sniper’s nest" which could not be linked with Oswald, any other employee of the Texas School Book Depository, or any law enforcement officer that had handled the carton. The fingerprint remains in the National Archives, labeled "Unknown." ;
    However, by 1998, a 14 point match with Malcolm Wallace’s prints would be made, thereby directly linking Johnson to the assassination. (Wallace’s prints were, of course, on record after his conviction for murder.) On March 9, 1998, A. Nathan Darby, A.L.C.E., a Certified Latent Fingerprint Examiner, and a member of the International Association for Identification, signed a sworn affidavit stating that he found a positive match between the "Unknown" print from Carton "A" and the 1951 print of Mac Wallace.
    For easier comparison, the "Unknown’ print from the sniper’s nest on the right has been duplicated and superimposed in red over the Wallace print on the left. The match becomes obvious even to the layman. .

    Even as President Kennedy’s limo sat in Parkland Memorial Hospital, Johnson ordered the Secret Service and FBI agents to wash out the vehicle, destroying critical evidence of multiple gunmen; particularly bullet slivers and slugs from rifles other than Oswald’s alleged weapon. Even bullet holes in the chassis which betrayed tell-tale impossible trajectories to fit the Lone Gunman were repaneled and refurbished at Johnson’s orders. Some who were allegedly provided false credentials by Johnson himself, who was in charge of security that day in Dallas. This criminal evidence tampering, which would have led to the immediate arrest of any other suspect in a similar situation, was dutifully ignored by the Warren Commission. .

    From the very beginning,the Klan agenda was one of terrorizing blacks and depriving them of their rights; formulating the Jim Crow laws that lasted well over 100 years, and waging war on Catholic immigrants, particularly Irish-Americans and their immigrant forebears. What do you see on the broadcast media and major print media today? On FOX? on CNN, ABC? etc. You see stories about white victimization, and poor and middle class whites whom are truly victimized, but not by those the media would have you think. Who placed the yoke on your backs, if not wealthy white CEOs trying to divert the attention of constituents from their own corporate misdeeds, from manipulating the price of oil to enrich election coffers, to price-gouging hurricane victims in Hurricane Katrina. Who killed your president in Dallas, and let loose over 40 years of darkness and confusion, if not the mason Johnson and the neo-segregationists crying wolf today? They point fingers at the nearest scapegoat lest you turn around and see the Washington cabals who would enslave Americans anew, but this time, the shackled will be black and white, Jew and Gentile, mason or "profane" (non-mason).

    The Pat Buchanans, the Rush Limbaughs and Ann Coulters of this self-styled elite, this ancient and accepted brotherhood of domesticated, blueblood carnies; literally carry on the work of their own segregationist idols who "stood up to the federal tyranny" of integration; idols who lined the Central High School with the Arkansas National Guard, that nine black school children be denied an education. These fascist mouthpieces are, by design, given air time to make segregation palatable to unwary audiences who never lived through it. Don’t think for one second that a show which airs their hate-mongering imbecilities do not necessarily share their ideology, because the very reason they are invited on such shows is to make that ideology legitimate. This a textbook PSYOP targeting a domestic audience, and MSNBC, FOX, CNN, ABC the most grievous purveyors.

    You see attacks on immigrants, Muslim and Catholic (Hispanics in particular) with the same vitriol and ignorance of 100 years ago, with the same language you would find in Klan founder and Scottish Rite Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pikee‘s Arkansas newspaper, this by the same group of pseudo-Christians who burn the cross to say it honors Jesus. The agenda is the same, and the Klan has become acceptable in "civilized" debate, thanks to FOX and CNN in particular.

    The broadcast and print media, in a democracy, are the eyes and ears of a nation. Without an objective media, committed to hard truth at any price, the nation is deaf, dumb and blind. As such, the people of this nation are helpless in protecting themselves against those who would destroy their rights. Masonic law now supersedes the Constitution but it does so by subversion, and no judge, lawyer, or public official who secretly honorsMasonic law above the Constitution can be expected to protect your rights. Inasmuch as the Bill of Rights threatens the tacit rule of Masonic law, the Constitution will be attacked.

    And is it not so today? it follows that if your rights are an inconvenience to the establishment, they will use their assets in the press and broadcast media to tell you these Constitutional rights are bad for you, bad for the nation and a threat to your security, and that you wouldn’t miss them anyway. Yet they themselves are the biggest threat of all to your liberty. They will pardon each and every Klan conspiracy because the link between the neo-segregationists in the Scottish Rite and Klan is one impossible to hide, and politicians in both parties would fall in scores. Literally.

    Those of you who believe them deserve the contempt they show for you behind your back.

    Now, it is perhaps understandable that the media remain silent in the face of evidence that condemns them, but they have gone far beyond that. All the networks, at one time or another, and sometimes concurrently, attacked those who simply tried to tell the truth. And it is for this crime they will be held to account as the sleeping giant of public awareness finds the true extent of the criminal betrayal.

    The illusion of consensus or fact is easily attained by a monopolized press. Only five CEOs now control everything you hear and see, and in 1963, it was three. In the 1960s, the Ku Klux Klan had led uprisings and riots which prompted federal troops to enter the south. Despite unchecked terrorism and political killings throughout the south, and Klan death threats which led to Kennedy’s cancellation of a Miami visit on Nov 9, 1963; despite threats which outlined, in precise detail, the Dallas plot of Nov. 22 1963…. the Klan escaped scrutiny.

    Only five CEOs control what you read, see and hear.

    UPDATE SUMMARY

    • More on the Warren Commission’s Worshipful Master of the Laws of Physics.
    • The Spurious Threat of Civil War Cited by Johnson Apologists for the Concealment.
    • Who Gained by Helping Lyndon Johnson.
    • How the Washington Post Censors the News.

    Let’s have a long and objective look at the man who presently judges our Supreme Court judges. It’s not a pretty picture. It is Arlen Specter, the hero of the Washington Post that promulgated the findings of the most discredited and corrupt murder investigation in American history- The Warren Commission, which even Nixon dismissed as "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind". It was created by the number one suspect in President Kennedy’s assassination, vice president Lyndon Johnson, who would not be on the ticket in 1964, who was about to be prosecuted for the murder of Texas agricultural agent Henry Marshall in 1961. Among those who now concede Johnson was the lynchpin of this segregationist Masonic coup of 1963 is Barr McClellan, his personal lawyer.

    According to Johnson’s mistress, Madeleine Brown, one of the Warren Commission members, director John J. McCloy (CIA), actually met with Johnson, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, and Richard Nixon the night prior to the assassination. Nixon was also in Dallas on the day of the assassination. Here we have eyewitness, credible evidence the Warren Commission was formed before the assassination. Actually, we have had it since the 60s. But your friends at the Washington Post and similar news assets believes you don’t need to know this. Or perhaps don’t want to know this.

    In 1963, anti-Civil Rights, anti-Catholic segregationist Masons numbered over 5 million. Of these, many were in high office, particularly members of the Scottish Rite, whose members include segregationist Trent Lott, Fritz Hollings, Sen. Strom Thurmond and Sen. Robert Byrd, the latter a Democrat who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As you may recall, these segregationist masons had a presidential candidate in Alabama Gov. George Wallace, and at their disposal they had a terrorist branch called the Ku Klux Klan. Indeed, through theprotection of the Scottish Rite, the Klan has acted with impunity in the 60s,70s, 80s and 90s. (The Scottish Rite, in fact, created the Klan soon after the Civil War.) Even SR member Sen. Byrd was a high level Klansmen, a Klan recruiter, a Kleagle. Nixon’s speech writer, Pat Buchanan, was so fiercely segregationist and pro-Klan it became a White House joke.

    In 1963, at least two Supreme Court Justices,Hugo Black and Earl Warren, were members of the Klan. FBI records reveal that Chief Justice Warren, in fact, was a Klan leader in Bakersfield, CA. It was for this reason Johnson chose him to lead the Warren Commission, because the inherent conflict of interest would tie his hands. Exposing the Klan’s role would expose his own past, hitherto concealed, and seriously threaten his right to remain on the Supreme Court on 14th Amendment grounds. The Klan, at the time, was reviled by most of the nation and even many in the South. Ironically, Warren had gone a long way in distancing himself from the Klan. In the 50s, it was his court that desegregated the schools in Brown vs. The Board of Education, a ruling which was the very thing the segregationists despised Kennedy for defending.

    Warren’s spurious objective in protecting Johnson, some have noted, was to prevent a civil war between the segregationists and the rest of America. But if this were true, he would have exposed the Washington segregationist cabals that were willing to risk civil war, thereby negating their political influence as criminal conspiracy charges would be leveled on a scale unseen in American history.

    He didn’t expose the cabals, however, because he was a member. Warren was Scottish Rite. Just like Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, Allen Dulles, Gerald Ford, John J. McCloy, etc.

    That segregationist masons were a powerful force in Washington DC is without question, but they were also powerful outside of it.In the broadcast and print media, closet segregationist Masons were overwhelming. They owned the three major networks of the time- ABC, CBS, andNBC; and "liberal" papers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. As such, for advancement or sheer bootlicking, editors and broadcasters and were more than happy to print stories dismissing Johnson’s possible role in the assassination, however obvious.

    Knowledge is Power. Use it

    No one likes to think their own government is capable of such profound obscenities, much less that they have done it unchecked for so long. But ignoring the problem will give you the government you deserve. Maybe you think you have no power, but you do.

    You don’t have to buy from GE, Disney, or Viacom, or any of the products advertised on their propaganda organs, e.g. NBC, CBS, and ABC. You choose to. You own stock in these companies, you don’t have to accept CEOs bound by the Mason’s cable-tow- you can unseat them. (Look what they did to Enron.) You have the power of the purse.

    To these men, you are the "profane" non-mason that number in the vast majority of Americans, and if not, you are the lower ranking masonic base of the feudal pyramid, appeased by secret perks and flattery, that will never advance to any degree beyond that of a muzzled servant; bound lifelong in servile obedience to masters known and unknown; for ends had you known from the beginning, you would recoil in horror and disgust.

    Like the Harlot on the Beast drunk with the blood of the saints and prophets, they believe you cannot touch them, that they will never know grief. They believe that they are a sovereign nation unto themselves, and their authority exceeds the Constitution’s. But is this confidence truly warranted? Actually, it is anything but true. All of this immunity and power depends on your not knowing its true face, and now you know it.

    You have a trump card.

    You now know who they are. You know what they can do, and what they have done. And most of all, you know they are in power because you put them there, and now that you know at what cost, you can also remove them.

    Dems and GOP: Designed to Serve Same Ends- how and why

    If you are one to label yourself a liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, the following should give you pause for thought. All scientific methodology depends on experiments that can be reproduced, and here is a test you can try for yourself. Is our press the greatest threat to our peace, education, and political integrity?

    The surest test of a monopolized or controlled media is an absence of true diversity. If you read the BBC news feeds, or Yahoo, or Google, they will often point to the same stories. The many papers linked within, as well, are going to point to AP, Reuters or UPI source feeds. That’s why all of these news portals are basically carrying the same stories. Look at the left hand pane of this blog with the news feeds to Yahoo, Google, Reuters, AP. Notice how the same stories keep popping up? And usually, this stories are of little or no relevance to you because the primary purpose of the print and broadcast media is to distract, inflame or mislead the public. Informing you is incidental.

    John Quincy Adamss, in his Address to the People of Massachusetts, said of the Masonic presss:

    "I saw slander organize into a secret, widespread and affiliated agency…"

    Even in his time, it had become a threat. The role of the press in undermining republics or protecting the architects of tyranny can not be overstated here. One infamous protocol describing the means of their controlling the media rings so true as to bring a chill up your spine, particularly when you consider corporate cabals such as AOL-Time Warner ((CNN), Viacom (CBS), General Electric (NBC) or Disney (ABC):

    "What is the part played by the press today? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties…

    "Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. Even now this is already attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them….
    "All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions –aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical. . . Those fools who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are following the organ of their party they will in fact follow the flag which we hang out for them…
    "Thanks to such methods we shall be in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to tranquillize the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received, always very cautiously feeling our ground before stepping upon it. . . We shall have a sure triumph over our opponents since they will not have at their disposition organs of the press in which they can give full and final expression to their views owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the press.
    "Cases of the manifestation of criminality should remain known only to their victims and to chance witnesses — no more."

    If indeed, a cabal of criminals can buy up press assets of all possible complexions to direct your thinking into their own opinions, how can you tell if what you’re reading now isn’t propaganda too?

    Simple. They will all have this in common: if they cannot avoid discussing it altogether, they will avoid discussing freemasonry in a negative light.

    These are protocols written by masons, and the easiest way to determine the integrity of a newspaper or broadcast media is to see their reaction when questioned on the mere existence of a Masonic press. Like the mason’s seal on the dollar bill, a Masonic press is self-evident. But unlike the seal, it is self-evident BY WHAT IS NOT SEEN. If they deny partisan, secret collusion amongst editors and broadcasters is rampant today, you know they cannot be trusted; either for the outright lie, journalistic incompetence or pure gullibility. If they deny its power or influence, you likewise know you have been lied to, because if there was no Masonic press, Lyndon Johnson would have been arrested the same day Kennedy was shot. Why? The Billy Sol Estes Affair would have dominated the news stories, because a grand jury was now hearing evidence that Johnson was responsible for the 1961 murder and cover-up of Texas federal agricultural agent Henry Marshall. Johnson would be suspect number one, particularly after he destroyed evidence in a presidential assassination by immediately ordering the president’s limo washed and refurbished. Why did he do it? because that limo held key evidence- slugs and trajectories that pointed to multiple trajectories, and hence, multiple shooters.

    In the same protocols we read:

    "We must compel…action in the direction favored by our widely-conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly prompted by us through the means of that so-called ‘Great Power’ — the Press, which, with a few exceptions that may be disregarded, is already entirely in our hands."

    The Great Power, the Masonic Press, isn’t a fantastic concept at all. It’s here now, and it is the aforementioned handful of companies we know as mediaopolies.

    So the question remains……….

    What is it about obstructing justice in a presidential assassination that makes Specter, as lead investigator in the Warren Commission, especially qualified to chair the Senate Judiciary panel that will grill Supreme Court judges? After all, that Johnson killed Kennedy is an open secret in Washington DC. They know that enough Americans know the truth about Johnson to represent a true threat, but as long as it’s kept out of the news, they also know they won’t have to answer for the silence that marks complicity. It is an open secret like the one that we can never win the drug war on a prohibition model that is always linked to massive spikes in organized crime and political corruption.

    I think the Washington Post owes us an answer to that. What makes Specter exceptionally qualified, as a man of no character, to judge men of superior character? Those of superior character qualifies just about 99% of the population, unless you also have blood on your hands and advanced your career in politics through it.

    Incidentally, you may be interested in the phone calls Johnson made to Washington Post columnist Joseph Alsop right after the assassination as efforts were made to create a truly independent commission.

    Johnson calls the Washington Postt

    Dare we challenge the Post? Oh yes. Yes we do.

    Now, kind reader, this is no call for anarchy. This is a call for you, as a voter, to search your conscience.

    This particular American was murdered in cold blood, in front of women and children. He was a war hero, he was also our president.

    The men who gained from this murder are not all dead, some remain in power, some know all the players: for instance, former President Gerald Ford, a member of the Warren Commission whom is also Scottish Rite. Another is Sen. Arlen Specter. But they are not the only ones alive, or the only ones protected by the establishment press.

    You wouldn’t vote for a murderer if you had the choice. You have that choice.

    The first step must be taken by Pennsylvania constituents. But it must be taken.

    The following document is an instructional guide on assassination found among the CIA’s training files for "Operation PB Success" — the agency’s covert 1954 operation that overthrew the democratically elected government of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in June 1954. The CIA released it to the public on May 23, 1997, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

    Assassination was indeed a part of the CIA’s plans in Guatemala. According to an internal CIA history, the agency drafted lists of Guatemalans "to eliminate immediately in event of [a] successful anti-communist coup." Planning for assassination included budgeting, training programs, creation of hit teams, drafting of target lists of persons, and transfer of armaments. The CIA history states that "until the day that Arbenz resigned in June 1954 the option of assassination was still being considered."

    According to the official history, the assassination plans were never implemented. But names of the targeted individuals were deleted when the documents were made public, making it impossible to verify that none of them were killed during or in the aftermath of the coup.

    In the 1970s, revelations about CIA assassination plots led to strict prohibitions against U.S.-sponsored assassinations.

    A STUDY OF ASSASSINATION

    DEFINITION 

    Assassination is a term thought to be derived from "Hashish", a drug similar to marijuana, said to have been used by Hasan-Dan-Sabah to induce motivation in his followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the cost of their lives.

    It is here used to describe the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides positive advantages to that organization.

    EMPLOYMENT

    Assassination is an extreme measure not normally used in clandestine operations. It should be assumed that it will never be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by members of an associated foreign service. This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing communications to paper. No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded. Consequently, the decision to employ this technique must nearly always be reached in the field, at the area where the act will take place. Decision and instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum of persons. Ideally, only one person will be involved. No report may be made, but usually the act will be properly covered by normal news services, whose output is available to all concerned.

    JUSTIFICATION

    Murder is not morally justifiable. Self-defense may be argued if the victim has knowledge which may destroy the resistance organization if divulged. Assassination of persons responsible for atrocities or reprisals may be regarded as just punishment. Killing a political leader whose burgeoning career is a clear and present danger to the cause of freedom may be held necessary.

    But assassination can seldom be employed with a clear conscience. Persons who are morally squeamish should not attempt it.

    CLASSIFICATIONS

    The techniques employed will vary according to whether the subject is unaware of his danger, aware but unguarded, or guarded. They will also be affected by whether or not the assassin is to be killed with the subject hereafter, assassinations in which the subject is unaware will be termed "simple"; those where the subject is aware but unguarded will be termed "chase"; those where the victim is guarded will be termed "guarded."

    If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be called "lost." If the assassin is to escape, the adjective will be "safe." It should be noted that no compromises should exist here. The assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands.

    A further type division is caused by the need to conceal the fact that the subject was actually the victim of assassination, rather than an accident or natural causes. If such concealment is desirable the operation will be called "secret"; if concealment is immaterial, the act will be called "open"; while if the assassination requires publicity to be effective it will be termed "terroristic."

    Following these definitions, the assassination of Julius Caesar was safe, simple, and terroristic, while that of Huey Long was lost, guarded and open. Obviously, successful secret assassinations are not recorded as assassination at all. [illegible] of Thailand and Augustus Caesar may have been the victims of safe, guarded and secret assassination. Chase assassinations usually involve clandestine agents or members of criminal organizations.

    THE ASSASSIN

    In safe assassinations, the assassin needs the usual qualities of a clandestine agent. He should be determined, courageous, intelligent, resourceful, and physically active. If special equipment is to be used, such as firearms or drugs, it is clear that he must have outstanding skill with such equipment.

    Except in terroristic assassinations, it is desirable that the assassin be transient in the area. He should have an absolute minimum of contact with the rest of the organization and his instructions should be given orally by one person only. His safe evacuation after the act is absolutely essential, but here again contact should be as limited as possible. It is preferable that the person issuing instructions also conduct any withdrawal or covering action which may be necessary.

    In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically, he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the identities of the other members of the organization, for although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go wrong. While the assassin of Trotsky has never revealed any significant information, it was unsound to depend on this when the act was planned.

    PLANNING

    When the decision to assassinate has been reached, the tactics of the operation must be planned, based upon an estimate of the situation similar to that used in military operations. The preliminary estimate will reveal gaps in information and possibly indicate a need for special equipment which must be procured or constructed. When all necessary data has been collected, an effective tactical plan can be prepared. All planning must be mental; no papers should ever contain evidence of the operation.

    In resistance situations, assassination may be used as a counter-reprisal. Since this requires advertising to be effective, the resistance organization must be in a position to warn high officials publicly that their lives will be the price of reprisal action against innocent people. Such a threat is of no value unless it can be carried out, so it may be necessary to plan the assassination of various responsible officers of the oppressive regime and hold such plans in readiness to be used only if provoked by excessive brutality. Such plans must be modified frequently to meet changes in the tactical situation.

    TECHNIQUES

    The essential point of assassination is the death of the subject. A human being may be killed in many ways but sureness is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally unstrung by the seriousness of this act they intend to commit. The specific technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables, but should be constant in one point: Death must be absolutely certain. The attempt on Hitler’s life failed because the conspiracy did not give this matter proper attention.

    Techniques may be considered as follows:

    1. Manual.

    It is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few are skillful enough to do it well. Even a highly trained Judo expert will hesitate to risk killing by hand unless he has absolutely no alternative. However, the simplest local tools are often much the most efficient means of assassination. A hammer, axe, wrench, screw driver, fire poker, kitchen knife, lamp stand, or anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice. A length of rope or wire or a belt will do if the assassin is strong and agile. All such improvised weapons have the important advantage of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal machine gun failed to kill Trotsky where an item of sporting goods succeeded.

    In all safe cases where the assassin may be subject to search, either before or after the act, specialized weapons should not be used. Even in the lost case, the assassin may accidentally be searched before the act and should not carry an incriminating device if any sort of lethal weapon can be improvised at or near the site. If the assassin normally carries weapons because of the nature of his job, it may still be desirable to improvise and implement at the scene to avoid disclosure of his identity.

    2. Accidents.

    For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated.

    The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface. Elevator shafts, stair wells, unscreened windows and bridges will serve. Bridge falls into water are not reliable. In simple cases a private meeting with the subject may be arranged at a properly-cased location. The act may be executed by sudden, vigorous [excised] of the ankles, tipping the subject over the edge. If the assassin immediately sets up an outcry, playing the "horrified witness", no alibi or surreptitious withdrawal is necessary. In chase cases it will usually be necessary to stun or drug the subject before dropping him. Care is required to insure that no wound or condition not attributable to the fall is discernible after death.

    Falls into the sea or swiftly flowing rivers may suffice if the subject cannot swim. It will be more reliable if the assassin can arrange to attempt rescue, as he can thus be sure of the subject’s death and at the same time establish a workable alibi.

    If the subject’s personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may be used [2 words excised] to prepare him for a contrived accident of any kind.

    Falls before trains or subway cars are usually effective, but require exact timing and can seldom be free from unexpected observation.

    Automobile accidents are a less satisfactory means of assassination. If the subject is deliberately run down, very exact timing is necessary and investigation is likely to be thorough. If the subject’s car is tampered with, reliability is very low. The subject may be stunned or drugged and then placed in the car, but this is only reliable when the car can be run off a high cliff or into deep water without observation.

    Arson can cause accidental death if the subject is drugged and left in a burning building. Reliability is not satisfactory unless the building is isolated and highly combustible.

    3. Drugs.

    In all types of assassination except terroristic, drugs can be very effective. If the assassin is trained as a doctor or nurse and the subject is under medical care, this is an easy and rare method. An overdose of morphine administered as a sedative will cause death without disturbance and is difficult to detect. The size of the dose will depend upon whether the subject has been using narcotics regularly. If not, two grains will suffice.

    If the subject drinks heavily, morphine or a similar narcotic can be injected at the passing out stage, and the cause of death will often be held to be acute alcoholism.

    Specific poisons, such as arsenic or strychine, are effective but their possession or procurement is incriminating, and accurate dosage is problematical. Poison was used unsuccessfully in the assassination of Rasputin and Kolohan, though the latter case is more accurately described as a murder.

    4. Edge Weapons

    Any locally obtained edge device may be successfully employed. A certain minimum of anatomical knowledge is needed for reliability.

    Puncture wounds of the body cavity may not be reliable unless the heart is reached. The heart is protected by the rib cage and is not always easy to locate.

    Abdominal wounds were once nearly always mortal, but modern medical treatment has made this no longer true.

    Absolute reliability is obtained by severing the spinal cord in the cervical region. This can be done with the point of a knife or a light blow of an axe or hatchet.

    Another reliable method is the severing of both jugular and carotid blood vessels on both sides of the windpipe.

    If the subject has been rendered unconscious by other wounds or drugs, either of the above methods can be used to insure death.

    5. Blunt Weapons

    As with edge weapons, blunt weapons require some anatomical knowledge for effective use. Their main advantage is their universal availability. A hammer may be picked up almost anywhere in the world. Baseball and [illegible] bats are very widely distributed. Even a rock or a heavy stick will do, and nothing resembling a weapon need be procured, carried or subsequently disposed of.

    Blows should be directed to the temple, the area just below and behind the ear, and the lower, rear portion of the skull. Of course, if the blow is very heavy, any portion of the upper skull will do. The lower frontal portion of the head, from the eyes to the throat, can withstand enormous blows without fatal consequences.

    6. Firearms

    Firearms are often used in assassination, often very ineffectively. The assassin usually has insufficient technical knowledge of the limitations of weapons, and expects more range, accuracy and killing power than can be provided with reliability. Since certainty of death is the major requirement, firearms should be used which can provide destructive power at least 100% in excess of that thought to be necessary, and ranges should be half that considered practical for the weapon.

    Firearms have other drawbacks. Their possession is often incriminating. They may be difficult to obtain. They require a degree of experience from the user. They are [illegible]. Their [illegible] is consistently over-rated.

    However, there are many cases in which firearms are probably more efficient than any other means. These cases usually involve distance between the assassin and the subject, or comparative physical weakness of the assassin, as with a woman.

    (a) The precision rifle. In guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle should always be considered as a possibility. Absolute reliability can nearly always be achieved at a distance of one hundred yards. In ideal circumstances, the range may be extended to 250 yards. The rifle should be a well made bolt or falling block action type, handling a powerful long-range cartridge. The .300 F.A.B. Magnum is probably the best cartridge readily available. Other excellent calibers are .375 M.[illegible]. Magnum, .270 Winchester, .30 – 106 p.s., 8 x 60 MM Magnum, 9.3 x 62 kk and others of this type. These are preferable to ordinary military calibers, since ammunition available for them is usually of the expanding bullet type, whereas most ammunition for military rifles is full jacketed and hence not sufficiently lethal. Military ammunition should not be altered by filing or drilling bullets, as this will adversely affect accuracy.

    The rifle may be of the "bull gun" variety, with extra heavy barrel and set triggers, but in any case should be capable of maximum precision. Ideally, the weapon should be able to group in one inch at one hundred yards, but 2 1/2" groups are adequate. The sight should be telescopic, not only for accuracy, but because such a sight is much better in dim light or near darkness. As long as the bare outline of the target is discernable, a telescope sight will work, even if the rifle and shooter are in total darkness.

    An expanding, hunting bullet of such calibers as described above will produce extravagant laceration and shock at short or mid-range. If a man is struck just once in the body cavity, his death is almost entirely certain.

    Public figures or guarded officials may be killed with great reliability and some safety if a firing point can be established prior to an official occasion. The propaganda value of this system may be very high.

    (b) The machine gun.

    Machine guns may be used in most cases where the precision rifle is applicable. Usually, this will require the subversion of a unit of an official guard at a ceremony, though a skillful and determined team might conceivably dispose of a loyal gun crew without commotion and take over the gun at the critical time.

    The area fire capacity of the machine gun should not be used to search out a concealed subject. This was tried with predictable lack of success on Trotsky. The automatic feature of the machine gun should rather be used to increase reliability by placing a 5 second burst on the subject. Even with full jacket ammunition, this will be absolute lethal is the burst pattern is no larger than a man. This can be accomplished at about 150 yards. In ideal circumstances, a properly padded and targeted machine gun can do it at 850 yards. The major difficulty is placing the first burst exactly on the target, as most machine gunners are trained to spot their fire on target by observation of strike. This will not do in assassination as the subject will not wait.

    (c) The Submachine Gun.

    This weapon, known as the "machine-pistol" by the Russians and Germans and "machine-carbine" by the British, is occasionally useful in assassination. Unlike the rifle and machine gun, this is a short range weapon and since it fires pistol ammunition, much less powerful. To be reliable, it should deliver at least 5 rounds into the subject’s chest, though the .45 caliber U.S. weapons have a much larger margin of killing efficiency than the 9 mm European arms.

    The assassination range of the sub-machine gun is point blank. While accurate single rounds can be delivered by sub-machine gunners at 50 yards or more, this is not certain enough for assassination. Under ordinary circumstances, the 5MG should be used as a fully automatic weapon. In the hands of a capable gunner, a high cyclic rate is a distinct advantage, as speed of execution is most desirable, particularly in the case of multiple subjects.

    The sub-machine gun is especially adapted to indoor work when more than one subject is to be assassinated. An effective technique has been devised for the use of a pair of sub-machine gunners, by which a room containing as many as a dozen subjects can be "purifico" in about twenty seconds with little or no risk to the gunners. It is illustrated below.

    While the U.S. sub-machine guns fire the most lethal cartridges, the higher cyclic rate of some foreign weapons enable the gunner to cover a target quicker with acceptable pattern density. The Bergmann Model 1934 is particularly good in this way. The Danish Madman? SMG has a moderately good cyclic rate and is admirably compact and concealable. The Russian SHG’s have a good cyclic rate, but are handicapped by a small, light protective which requires more kits for equivalent killing effect.

    (d) The Shotgun.

    A large bore shotgun is a most effective killing instrument as long as the range is kept under ten yards. It should normally be used only on single targets as it cannot sustain fire successfully. The barrel may be "sawed" off for convenience, but this is not a significant factor in its killing performance. Its optimum range is just out of reach of the subject. 00 buckshot is considered the best shot size for a twelve gage gun, but anything from single balls to bird shot will do if the range is right. The assassin should aim for the solar plexus as the shot pattern is small at close range and can easily [illegible] the head.

    (e) The Pistol.

    While the handgun is quite inefficient as a weapon of assassination, it is often used, partly because it is readily available and can be concealed on the person, and partly because its limitations are not widely appreciated. While many well known assassinations have been carried out with pistols (Lincoln, Harding, Ghandi), such attempts fail as often as they succeed, (Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill).

    If a pistol is used, it should be as powerful as possible and fired from just beyond reach. The pistol and the shotgun are used in similar tactical situations, except that the shotgun is much more lethal and the pistol is much more easily concealed.

    In the hands of an expert, a powerful pistol is quite deadly, but such experts are rare and not usually available for assassination missions.

    .45 Colt, .44 Special, .455 Kly, .45 A.S.[illegible] (U.S. Service) and .357 Magnum are all efficient calibers. Less powerful rounds can suffice but are less reliable. Sub-power cartridges such as the .32s and .25s should be avoided.

    In all cases, the subject should be hit solidly at least three times for complete reliability.

    (f) Silent Firearms

    The sound of the explosion of the proponent in a firearm can be effectively silenced by appropriate attachments. However, the sound of the projective passing through the air cannot, since this sound is generated outside the weapon. In cases where the velocity of the bullet greatly exceeds that of sound, the noise so generated is much louder than that of the explosion. Since all powerful rifles have muzzle velocities of over 2000 feet per second, they cannot be silenced.

    Pistol bullets, on the other hand, usually travel slower than sound and the sound of their flight is negligible. Therefore, pistols, submachine guns and any sort of improvised carbine or rifle which will take a low velocity cartridge can be silenced. The user should not forget that the sound of the operation of a repeating action is considerable, and that the sound of bullet strike, particularly in bone is quite loud.

    Silent firearms are only occasionally useful to the assassin, though they have been widely publicized in this connection. Because permissible velocity is low, effective precision range is held to about 100 yards with rifle or carbine type weapons, while with pistols, silent or otherwise, are most efficient just beyond arms length. The silent feature attempts to provide a degree of safety to the assassin, but mere possession of a silent firearm is likely to create enough hazard to counter the advantage of its silence. The silent pistol combines the disadvantages of any pistol with the added one of its obviously clandestine purpose.

    A telescopically sighted, closed-action carbine shooting a low velocity bullet of great weight, and built for accuracy, could be very useful to an assassin in certain situations. At the time of writing, no such weapon is known to exist.

    7. Explosives.

    Bombs and demolition charges of various sorts have been used frequently in assassination. Such devices, in terroristic and open assassination, can provide safety and overcome guard barriers, but it is curious that bombs have often been the implement of lost assassinations.

    The major factor which affects reliability is the use of explosives for assassination. The charge must be very large and the detonation must be controlled exactly as to time by the assassin who can observe the subject. A small or moderate explosive charge is highly unreliable as a cause of death, and time delay or booby-trap devices are extremely prone to kill the wrong man. In addition to the moral aspects of indiscriminate killing, the death of casual bystanders can often produce public reactions unfavorable to the cause for which the assassination is carried out.

    Bombs or grenades should never be thrown at a subject. While this will always cause a commotion and may even result in the subject’s death, it is sloppy, unreliable, and bad propaganda. The charge must be too small and the assassin is never sure of: (1) reaching his attack position, (2) placing the charge close enough to the target and (3) firing the charge at the right time.

    Placing the charge surreptitiously in advance permits a charge of proper size to be employed, but requires accurate prediction of the subject’s movements.

    Ten pounds of high explosive should normally be regarded as a minimum, and this is explosive of fragmentation material. The latter can consist of any hard, [illegible] material as long as the fragments are large enough. Metal or rock fragments should be walnut-size rather than pen-size. If solid plates are used, to be ruptured by the explosion, cast iron, 1" thick, gives excellent fragmentation. Military or commercial high explosives are practical for use in assassination. Homemade or improvised explosives should be avoided. While possibly powerful, they tend to be dangerous and unreliable. Anti-personnel explosive missiles are excellent, provided the assassin has sufficient technical knowledge to fuse them properly. 81 or 82 mm mortar shells, or the 120 mm mortar shell, are particularly good. Anti-personnel shells for 85, 88, 90, 100 and 105 mm guns and howitzers are both large enough to be completely reliable and small enough to be carried by one man.

    The charge should be so placed that the subject is not ever six feet from it at the moment of detonation.

    A large, shaped charge with the [illegible] filled with iron fragments (such as 1" nuts and bolts) will fire a highly lethal shotgun-type [illegible] to 50 yards. This reaction has not been thoroughly tested, however, and an exact replica of the proposed device should be fired in advance to determine exact range, pattern-size, and penetration of fragments. Fragments should penetrate at least 1" of seasoned pine or equivalent for minimum reliability. Any firing device may be used which permits exact control by the assassin. An ordinary commercial or military explorer is efficient, as long as it is rigged for instantaneous action with no time fuse in the system. The wise [illegible] electric target can serve as the triggering device and provide exact timing from as far away as the assassin can reliably hit the target. This will avid the disadvantages olitary or commercial high explosives are practical for use in assassination. Homemade or improvised explosives should be avoided.

    THE MURDERERS

    LBJ

    LBJ killed JFK

    Many say that "LBJ would kill to be President."
    He already had several people killed before 1960,
    shot by marksman Malcolm Wallace, who JFK had enabled to get free
    from the murder of John Kinser, Henry Marshall, and possibly more.

    LBJ sought the Vice Presidency, a ceremonial position of less power
    with the blackmailing help of FBI Chief Edgar G. Hoover,
    only because he was now just a bullet away from being President

    Why was JFK killed?
    Who had the motive and opportunity?
    Who benefited?
    Who changed things after his death?
    Who had the power to do it?
    Who had the power to cover it up?

    Lyndon Baynes Johnson was a political rival of John F. Kennedy.
    Kennedy appointed him his running mate ostensibly to "unify the Democratic Party"

    But LBJ became VP under threat of exposing Kennedy’s lady friends
    by LBJ with the help of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

    JFK and RFK debated what to do for hours, according to his secretary Mrs. Lincoln.
    It was the wrong decision, to appoint an enemy as a possible successor.
    LBJ took the opportunity and had JFK killed to become President.

    On the night before November 22, 1963 LBJ told his mistress:
    "Those SOB’s will never embarrass me again.  That’s not a threat.  That’s a promise."

    LBJ often referred to the Kennedy’s as the "Irish Mafia"

    Johnson appointed the Warren Commission to investigate who he had killed.

    The day after Kennedy’s burial
    Johnson issued Executive Order 273
    reversing Kennedy’s Order 263 to pull out of Vietnam
    thus beginning the War in Vietnam
    and giving the military industrial complex what it wanted
    billions in defense spending on a long, unwinable war


    Lyndon B. Johnson
    Congressman Albert Thomas winks at LBJ as if to say "we won!"
    LBJ insisted that Jackie Kennedy be photographed by his side with Lady Bird as he was sworn in as President on Air Force One. 
    LBJ made sexual comments disrespectful to her and JFK, and referred to the Kennedy’s as the "Irish Mafia"

    Malcolm "Mac" Wallace’s fingerprints were on the gun

    Did Johnson have reason to believe that John F. Kennedy was going to be assassinated?
    "Yes." 
    "The American people need to know what actually happened during those years."

    LBJ knew who they were.

    Strange relics of the ancient world.

    A bewildering enigma.

    A series of amazing finds challenges our entire notion of the ancient world. They show that deep in antiquity Humanity was considerably more advanced than we have ever dared believe.

    Amongst other things our early forbears were fully cognisant with complicated medical procedures,


    possessed sophisticated computers, and had access to a mysterious source of lighting. Even more staggering is that some of these finds date back millions of years.

       

    Strange Finds.

    Strange discoveries of objects that should not exist have often placed a huge question mark against what we know of the world. Particularly compelling is the evidence that suggests that deep in antiquity Mankind was considerably more advanced than we have ever dared to imagine.

    At the very least these finds encourage us to ask deeper questions concerning the world that once was. For only through a spirit of true inquiry can we ever hope to acquaint ourselves with these forgotten pages of our planets history.

    Let us then examine a few of these finds, and see what conclusions can be drawn.

    The Coso Artifact.

    In 1961 a strange stone was found in the Coso Mountains of California. Strange, because when it was sawed open it was found to contain a bizarre mechanical device. This comprised of an hexagonal layer of some unknown substance, which surrounded an inch thick porcelain cylinder, which in turn contained a shaft of bright metal around 2 mm in length. Around the porcelain cylinder were rings of copper, which remarkably showed no signs of corrosion.

    Later examination at the Charles Ford Society confirmed the device as some kind of mechanical instrument. Photographs taken of the object showed the metallic shaft fixed to a tiny spring. This led to it being labelled as some form of electrical device. Experts who examined it compared it to a spark plug. Critics maintained that this is exactly what it was – a Champion spark plug that offered little mystery

    When however certain geologists insisted that the rock in which it was encased was over half a million years old, the mystery sky rocketed. What was it doing there? How had it got there? On the face of it there was no plausible answer. Just the unthinkable – that this was a relic from a past era of high technological advancement – one that existed over half a million years ago.

    To this day the Coso Artifact continues to excite considerable speculation with widely differing views. Some insisting this is just an elaborate hoax and others who see the Coso Artifact as evidence of an advanced civilisation at an unimaginably early age.

    The Morrisonville Enigma.

    In 1891 there was an even more remarkable find. A woman in Morrisonville Illinois was shovelling coal when a piece broke open in front of her. To her astonishment she found it contained a beautiful gold chain of elaborate workmanship.

    The local newspaper gave the following account:

    " Mrs Culp thought the chain had been dropped accidentally in the coal, but as she undertook to lift the chain up, the idea of its having been recently dropped was shown to be fallacious, for as the lump of coal broke, it separated almost in the middle, and the circular position of the chain placed the two ends near to each other; and as the lumps separated, the middle of the chain became loosened while each end remained fastened to the coal….."

    Nor was the Morrisonville incident the only one of its kind. In 1844 an unidentified gold artifact was discovered in a quarry in England.

    Workmen blasting granite, came across the discovery of an item of gold thread about eight feet below the surface. It was embedded in rock thought to be over 60 million years old. Experts sent at the behest of the Times newspaper concluded that the object had been artificially manufactured, but ventured no opinion as to how it could have found itself embedded in rock so unimaginably old.

    The Salzburg Cube.

    In 1885 a block of coal was found to have a strange steel cube embedded inside of it. Later tests confirmed it to be artificially manufactured and experts were astonished. The edges were sharp and straight, and there was little doubt that this was a machine made instrument that seemed part of a much larger instrument.

    The Rhodesia Man Mystery.

    In 1921 the discovery of a Neanderthal skull in Rhodesia revealed an astonishing mystery. The skull had been pierced by a high velocity projectile, similar to a bullet. Mysterious, because it was disclosed that this injury must have occurred at the moment of death, and not afterwards. It meant that whoever fired the fatal bullet must have fired it many thousands of years ago. In his book Secrets of the Lost Races, author Rene Noorbergen had the following to say: "A German forensic authority from Berlin has positively stated that the cranial damage to Rhodesian man’s skull could not have been caused by anything but a bullet."

    The fact that the skull was found fully 60 feet below the surface of the ground attested to the fact that this was no recent injury, and experts were baffled. Even so certain conclusions seemed obvious: The most apparent of these was that in times considered too remote for intelligent life, this creature had been gunned down by a high velocity weapon. The neat entry point of the wound testified to the great speed of the projectile, which had created a perfectly rounded hole.

    Ancient computer.

    One of the most significant finds that gives undisputed evidence of hitherto unsuspected ancient knowledge is the so called Antikythira device ! This mysterious mechanism comprising of a series of interlocking cogs and wheels was found at the site of an ancient shipwreck just off the Greek island of Antikythira.

    Straight away it became apparent that this was something extraordinary, and although heavily corroded, radiograph examination revealed the existence of a precision instrument of great complexity. A differential turn table with interlocking cogs testified to its high degree of craftsmanship. But what was it ?

    At first experts dubbed it a navigational instrument, but detailed investigation revealed it to be something a good deal more complex. Certain similarities with later astronomical instruments led to it being labelled a planisphere – a calendrical device that gives the year round positions of stars and planets. Other inscriptions, unfortunately damaged, seemed to refer to zodiacal positions with a degree of accuracy that involved considerable expertise.

    Important Questions.

    Incredibly the wreck from which the device was salvaged dates back to nearly one hundred BC. This created an immediate stir. Such refined craftsmanship was at that time unknown, and was to remain so until the 16 th century. Now suddenly this fortuitous find raised important questions. For this kind of precision instrument to exist there must equally have existed a sophisticated method of production. But up until that moment no hint of such capability had ever been found .

    Awesome achievement.

    So what can we make of the Antikythira device ? Is it just an archaeological oddity – a simple aberration to the established order, or does it represent the tip of a vast treasure of unexplained ancient technology ?

    In our opinion this strange instrument categorically places the technology of it’s era in a completely different light. We are seeing something that should not have existed for over 1500 years, and once again we are left in awe at achievements that leap out across the void that separates our understanding of these distant ages.

    But whatever the meaning and function of the Antikythira device, we must not forget that it’s importance represents no more than a small gem in a large crown of strange and magnificent finds.

    Global Catalogue.

    No corner of the globe is without some strange enigma of things that seem impossible to explain. Indeed the catalogue of these finds is highly impressive. Ancient lenses polished as finely as any we have today – pieces of an ancient battery, magnificent astronomical observatories, sophisticated toys resembling heavy earth moving equipment – these are only a small element of a rich vein of finds that is slowly extending our perception of ancient times. There is even evidence that ancient man may have flown in aircraft.

    It is a known fact that ancient druidic legends speak of frequent flights using the power inherent in ley-lines. By some unknown means these ley-lines were capable of raising flying machines that according to author Rene Noorbergen regularly flew backwards and forwards between England and Greece. He writes: " Druidic tradition tells of such heroes as Mog Ruith, Bladud and the magician Abiris, who possessed flying vehicles activated by the ley-line energies and were able to travel in them as far as Greece."

    Ancient electrical supply.

    Particularly compelling is evidence of an ancient electrical supply. This seems to have been utilised much as we use electric current today.

    One area especially rich in evidence of this sort is ancient Babylonia and Persia. A discovery of several clay pots excavated in Iraq revealed an amazing discovery. Each of the pots appeared to have been soldered with a lead/tin alloy, topped with copper discs, sealed with bitumen. Far sighted investigators discovered that when a mixture of copper sulphate and acetic acid was added to the pots it produced around 2 volts of electricity.

    Over the years many more electric cells were discovered, almost as if this was part of a mass-produced industry. Also of amazing importance is the discovery of electroplated gold jewelry using a technique only recently discovered in this modern age.

    Strange Lamps.

    Written evidence in mystical Hebrew literature speaks of strange energy sources and of lamps that ‘lit themselves’!

    Also strange, are seafaring stories from the last century. More than one sea-man described strange orb like lamps hung by natives in the jungles of South America. These lamps were apparently self-sustainable utilising a source of energy that seemed impossible to explain.

    In 1601 a Spanish writer and explorer who followed theConquistadores to South America wrote of a strange pillar on which was a brilliant white object that illuminated the whole of the surrounding area to quite some distance.

    The ancient historian and travel writer Pausanias, once wrote of a temple with a light that burnt continuously for at least a year. Even more amazing is the account of the discovery of the sepulchre of Pallas near Rome. This was said to have been lit by a light source that had kept the interior of the chamber illuminated for over two thousand years.

    Medical Knowledge.

    Unusual early knowledge of medical procedure is another strange aspect of the ancient world. Perhaps the most bizarre evidence of this sort concerns the discovery of numerous skulls from the Neolithic age that appear to have been trepanned.

    In his book Colony Earth, author Richard Mooney explains the process in the following terms. "Trepanning today is an operation in which a section of bone in the skull is removed, either to ease pressure caused by a tumour or blood clot, or to remove splinters of bone caused by a skull fracture, and the cavity closed by a plate. The operation is hardly minor and requires great skill and care to perform. It is difficult to believe that Neolithic man – if he was, as has been thought, extremely primitive – could have carried out such operations with the crudest techniques, a flint knife, and no anesthetics or notions of hygiene."

    Apparently survivors of this treatment later went on to live for years afterwards. This in itself was remarkable, as even in relatively recent times patients undergoing surgery had a high mortality rate from infection or blood poisioning.

    Soviet Finds.

    Particularly well documented evidence of ancient cranial surgery comes to us from research in the former Soviet Union.

    Examination of several skulls found at the site of Ishtikunuy near Lake Sevan in Armenia, revealed a highly developed technique of skull surgery employed over 4000 years ago. One patient had suffered a serious head injury, presumably leaving sensitive brain tissue exposed. Despite these difficulties the surgeons of the day had neatly plugged the fracture using a carefully shaped wedge of animal bone. From the way the patients bone tissue had enveloped the plug, it was possible to deduce that the woman had survived the operation and went on to live for quite some time afterwards.

    Ancient brain surgery.

    Soviet scientists uncovered even more starling evidence, this time involving surgery directly on the brain. It was found that one woman had been successfully operated upon to remove an inch wide object that smashed through her skull. This had penetrated directly to the brain. Sensationally the surgeons of the day were able to cut around the object to remove the splinters, before closing up the wound using animal bone. Once more the patient was able to live on for many years afterwards.

    Admiring the great skill of these early surgeons one scientist, Professor Jagharian remarked: "Considering the ancient tools the doctors had to work with, I would say they were technically superior to modern-day surgeons."

    Ancient X-ray machine.

    In Peru a rock drawing from Toro Muerto appears to a show a figure with raised arms, with what appears to be an X-ray plate of the thorax. Fully visible are the ribs of the chest cavity, and a central column resembling the spine. Little information is available on the circumstances of this find, which if genuine represents yet another amazing insight into the astonishing complexity of the ancient world.

    Far reaching conclusions.

    In detailing the sheer wealth of these strange and bizarre finds we could go on and on. All we have done here is to just barely scratch the surface of the many enigmas that surround us. In so doing we have seen the image of a world that once was. We see it slowly take shape in front of us. A world completely at variance with the established view of things. It means that sooner or later, the pieces of this gathering jigsaw will force even the most hardened skeptic to accept the full majesty of the world that once was.

    Strange maps of the ancient world.

    Staggering mystery.

    A number of ancient and medieval maps reveal a staggering mystery. With unmistakeable clarity they reveal outlines of territory not officially discovered for hundreds of years later.


       

    Strange Maps.

    There is a growing belief that extraterrestrials might at one point in human history have bequeathed to our race sophisticated aerial maps showing the lay-out of this planets principal geographical features including the main continents, oceans, and deserts!

    Undiscovered Lands.

    A firm indication of this influence is the existence in the ancient and medieval world, of maps apparently showing the existence of lands and continents not officially discovered until many hundreds of years later! Additionally these maps appear to show polar regions in the northern and southern hemispheres as they would appear when stripped away of their ice. Add to this the certainty that at least three thousand years before Columbus the ancients of China and Greece both knew the precise location of the Americas, and quite literally you have a mystery that sets the history of the world on end! In particular it raises the obvious question of just how the ancients knew the whereabouts of these continents with such great precision!

    Long term communication.

    The weight of evidence suggests this knowledge was not confined to merely knowing of these places but must also have involved a prolonged and sustained physical communication of cultures across the whole of the ancient world! But how did this contact first occur? How did peoples separated by vast stretches of ocean, suddenly find the confidence to cross these immense distances of open water, in the sure and certain hope they would find land there?

    This is a question of crucial importance. People don’t suddenly load up a boat with provisions and sail into the great blue yonder without knowing where they are going. It would be suicide! Take Colombus for instance. People of the time said the Atlantic was uncrossable! They said there was no land there to find! Yet Colombus was confident! It was a confidence built on ancient records stating that westwards of the Pillars of Hercules there existed a sizeable continent at a distance of barely one months sailing time!

    The ancient records were certain of it, and Columbus trusted in them. As history proves, it was a trust that was more than amply rewarded. Let us then take a look at this ancient perception of the world as they knew it, and see if it really is as sensational as the evidence suggests! Let us see if there could indeed be an extraterrestrial connection.

    The Piri Reis map.

    By far the best known map in this category of unknown territories is the Piri Reis. Devotees of Von Daniken will be well acquainted with it, but for those who may still not have heard of it, here is a brief outline.

    The Piri Reis map – a fine example of early cartography – is named after the nephew of a famous Turkish admiral, Kemal Re’is! The map was captured from the Spaniards in a naval engagement, and given to the admiral by a Spanish prisoner who had sailed on three of Columbus’s New World voyages! The map, now heavily annotated in Turkish apparently shows newly discovered lands and territories stretching far south towards the tip of Latin America! In addition the coasts of Africa and South America appear to be in precise latitudinal context!

    Aerial Map.

    In Chariots of the Gods, Von Daniken claims the strange distortions depicted on the Piri Reis map are explained by the fact that it was a copy of an aerial map or photograph taken at a height of five thousand miles above the Earth! At this height the curvature of the Earth would become highly prominent thus rendering any flat based map in a seemingly distorted perspective! Von Daniken believes the map also shows details of continental Antarctica as it would appear when stripped of its ice! In other words as it would have been thousands upon thousands of years earlier!

    Von Daniken gives the following verdict: "Undoubtedly our forefathers did not draw these maps. Yet there is no doubt that these maps must have been made with the most modern technical aids – from the air!" According to Von Daniken such mysteries could only be interpreted in terms of alien involvement!

    In his book "Secrets of the Lost Races", author Rene Noorbergen gives details of a remarkable scientific analysis of the map conducted by Professor Charles H Hapgood, and mathematician Richard W. Strachan. Together with students at Keene State College in the United States, they came to the conclusion that the centre of the Piri Re’is map was located on the Alexandria meridian, as it crosses the Tropic of Cancer. Its incredible accuracy baffled the entire team of investigators! Comments Noorbergen: "The map bears irrefutable testimony to a scientific achievement far surpassing the abilities of the navigators and map makers of the Renaissance, the Middle Ages, the Arab world, or any of the ancient geographers. It is the product of an unknown people antedating recognised history!"

    Noorbergen continues: "Hapgood contends that the original source maps from which the Piri Re’is was made must have been drawn using a circular grid based on spherical trigonometry, with the focal point situated in Egypt."

    Critics.

    Sceptics remain doubtful of these claims, pointing out that much of the map below the River Plate estuary appears to be ill defined and largely guesswork! Even so the question of its antiquity still poses questions. Beyond doubt the map is a copy of a much earlier original. Colombus is known to have relied on such maps and if it does predate his epic voyage then this alone would make it a map of extraordinary importance. And then of course there is the uncanny impression that this is indeed an aerial projection! Whoever drew it had access to aerial surveying techniques that far ahead of their time.

    The Franco Rosselli map.

    An even more revealing map is the Franco Rosselli, now kept in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. This is a relatively small but richly illustrated copperplate engraving, hand coloured on Vellum by Francesco Rosselli, a renowned Florentine cartographer of the 15th century. Click here for picture.

    At the time Rosselli painted his extraordinary world map measuring just 6 X 11 inches, cartography was still a new and experimental art, which makes its revelations all the more astonishing.

    A careful study of the Rosselli map shows its its depiction of Antarctica is extremely well painted. Features such as the Ross Sea, and Wilkes Land are particularly easy to identitfy. It becomes clear this is a work of supreme accuracy. In fact the map names this area quite specifically as Antarticus! Even more perplexing is the fact that this extraordinary map was painted around the year 1508, and at that time Antarctica had still to be discovered, and indeed was not sighted until several centuries later! So what is it doing on a 15 th century Florentine map?

    Important implications.

    Whatever the explanation it means a severe backward revision of Antarctica’s date of discovery! And there are many other implications. For instance, a continent such as Antarctica is no easy place to circumnavigate. Treacherous pack ice can engulf the sturdiest of todays ocean going vessels, and it is well nigh impossible to believe that any sailing ship of the 15 th century was up to the task of surveying the entire Antarctic coastline. This after all runs to many thousands of miles. An undertaking of this magnitude would be barely possible today, let alone four hundred years ago! Yet we have the definite proof that somehow this mapping was completed and the evidence is quite clearly illustrated in this remarkable piece of Florentine cartography!

    So where lies the answer to this riddle? Who could possibly have accomplished such a feat? Whatever the answer, it seems plain that the Rosselli map, like the Piri Re’is, must have had to rely on aerial surveying techniques! Any other method is quite unthinkable. True, the map has glaring errors to it, but these occur in more northerly latitudes that ironically were no mystery to the people of the fifteenth century! Like the Piri Re’is map, this Florentine marvel is obviously a copy of a much earlier original. But who could have possessed aerial mapping techniques in the Middle Ages?

    Who indeed? The fact is that here yet again we find another map whose existence challenges the cosy status quo of established history!

    Orontius Fineus Map.

    Other maps broaden the mystery yet further. These include the Orontius Fineus map of 1531, which apparently shows the outline of Antarctic rivers covered by a mile thick glacier, and the Hadji Ahmed map of 1559 that clearly depicts the outline of the Ice Age land bridge that extended between Siberia and Alaska!

    Zeno Brothers Map.

    Another cartographical mystery is the Zeno brothers map of the 14 th century! The Zeno brothers from Venice were known to have carried out an extensive exploration of the north Atlantic, including parts of Greenland and Iceland, and are even rumoured to have sailed as far as Nova Scotia in Canada! As a result of these voyages the brothers brought back a map of their travels which was lost and then later recovered several centuries later.

    Although the map appeared to confirm the fantastic extent of their travels, later scholars were baffled by the fact that it seemed to depict the true outline of Greenland as it would appear when stripped of its ice! There is simply no way the Zeno brothers could have known of this outline, and it became apparent that the map they had relied on must have been a copy of a much earlier original! In addition the map appeared to be based on a polar projection thought to be far beyond the modest abilities of 14 th century cartographers!

    "Impossible" voyages.

    As well as strange maps we have evidence of "impossible" early voyages, that should never have happened! These are truly incredible feats of navigation dating back to epochs so remote, they become difficult to imagine. One of these is the habitation of Australia, around 30,000 years ago! The fact is Australia never formed part of the south-east Asian mainland. Its history of habitation is consequently late! The question is how did this migration occur ?

    Here the only logical explanation is by sea. Yet the strange thing is that man at this time is supposed to have been little more than a hunter gatherer. We hear no mention of him acquiring boat building skills. We hear no mention of him possessing the logistical and navigational capability to span at least 100 miles of open sea ! Yet this is precisely how we are told that prehistoric man reached Australia !

    The question has to be asked : How would men of that time know where they were going? After all it’s one thing to sail a boat in confined coastal waters barely a mile or two from the shore, but quite another to sail off to a land so far away that it isn’t even visible! And remember that 30,000 years ago boat building would have consisted of no more than cutting down a likely shaped trunk of a tree and putting it straight in the sea.

    It is important to consider these implications because whichever way you look at it there is no avoiding the fact that if 30,000 years ago man did sail to Australia he must have known where his journey would take him. He was hardly likely to load up his tree trunk and point it at the open sea in the hope that he might find land there! That would almost feel like committing suicide.

    A probable explanation is that like Colombus these early navigators knew exactly where they were going, and to do this they must have had maps – maps that could only have existed in a geographically cognisant society! Maps that were either drawn up by former advanced periods of human civilisation, or left behind by visiting aliens.

    Easter Island.

    Another "impossible" voyage is the colonisation of remote Easter Island. This is thought to have occurred around 1000 BC. But who at that time could possibly have known of the existence of this remote speck of rock?

    Renowned for its enigmatic stone statues, Easter Island is one of the remotest places on Earth. It is surrounded by thousands of mile of unbroken ocean. Yet despite this, its early colonisers knew precisely where to find it. By all accounts they were artisans of the high Andes plateau; voyagers who travelled thousand of miles to this remote outpost with the express purpose of building their strange statues!

    Once again this was not a stab in the dark, but a planned and deliberate attempt to reach a tiny island whose location was known from the outset! A feat that would have been completely impossible without accurate maps! And the origin of these maps? Perhaps a clue can be found in the ancient birdman cult of the early islanders! They believed the bird-men lived in a celestial domain "whose king possessed a reflection of higher values"!

    Another element linking Easter Island to alien visitation is the fact that engraved effigies of the creator god Make-Make look surprisingly like a helmeted astronaut!

    It is also interesting to note that statues found carved in the ground were not left there through lack of motivation to raise them, but because their eyes looked skywards towards the domain of the bird-men. In fact the original name of Easter Island means "eyes watching the sky". It is exciting to think this may have been to herald the return of the "Bird-men", by whose knowledge the island was discovered!

    Alchemy – Was it ever really possible?

    Divine Science.

    Alchemy, the fore runner of our modern chemistry, is a subject rich in mystical significance! But has Alchemy ever really been possible? We examine the evidence.

       

    Alchemy.

    Alchemy, the fore runner of our modern chemistry, is a subject rich in mystical significance! At the heart of this "Divine Science", as it was known, was the belief that metals and alloys could be changed into others, by the action of certain compounds in conjunction with planetary alignments.

    For centuries the quest for the Philosophers Stone and the Elixir of Life consumed the minds of dedicated individuals who forfeited everything in their quest for ultimate knowledge. They believed that base metals could be changed into gold and sought vigorously the formula that would give them the gift of perpetual youth. Fortunes were squandered and marriages broken in the quest for this magic, which we now look upon quite smirkingly as something which could never happen!

    But can we be sure that these dedicated efforts were really as futile as we are led to believe, or was there more to this eccentric art than first meets the eye ?

    Art of the Black Lands.

    What we do know is that Alchemy is a very ancient craft dating back to at least the days of the ancient Egyptians. In fact the very word alchemy, from which we derive our modern word chemistry, is a modern corruption of the old name for Egypt – the black lands, after the black mud of the river Nile.

    In his book "Egyptian Magic" the eminent scholar and Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, Wallis Budge, had this to say regarding the name and use of alchemy:

    "Side by side with the growth of skill in performing the ordinary process of metal working in Egypt, there grew up in that country the belief that magical powers existed in fluxes and alloy’s and the art of manipulating the metals and the knowledge of the chemistry of the metals, and of their magical powers were described by the name Khemeia, that is to say ‘the preparation of the black ore (or power) which was regarded as the active principle in the transmutation of metals. To this name the Arabs affixed the article Al, and thus we obtain the word Alkhemeia or alchemy, which will perpetuate the reputation of the Egyptians as successful students of white magic and of the black arts".

    Alchemy then is of Egyptian origin. But who had taught them this craft? Was it just a matter of good fortune that their minds ran to such things; or had they discovered the seeds of an already well established science that once flourished during the halcyon days of the Golden Era? A science now almost totally forgotten and ridiculed as far too implausible to be taken seriously !

    Atlantis.

    As in all things Egyptian, there are many who ascribe the influence of this knowledge to lost Atlantis. Knowledge carefully preserved to survive even the immense catastrophe that wiped it all away.

    An inkling of how this might have been accomplished comes to us from the Babylonian priest and historian Berossus! According to Berossus the secrets of this earlier age were carefully preserved in specially built vaults. He writes of certain priests who foreseeing the coming disaster made sure that the secrets of the pre-flood era were securely buried in the City of the Sun at Sippara, close to Babylon.

    Repositories of knowledge.

    In Egypt itself there is much talk of buried vaults containing treasure chambers filled with great books of knowledge and wisdom. It was from just such a source that we owe our knowledge of Atlantis. As we heard in an earlier chapter the priests of Sais had access to records dating as far back as ancient Atlantis – nine thousand years before Plato. Other secret repositories of knowledge may never have been found, and one such chamber is rumoured to exist close to the pyramids of Giza.

    After the great deluge these records were diligently sought after and most of them recovered. It was this knowledge – along with other influences such as culture bearing beings – that was to constitute the main impetus for the speedy resurrection of man’s fortunes. In the aftermath of the great disaster it formed an unbroken link with that past age of brilliance and included in these records might well have been the full secret of the craft of alchemy!

    Modern doubts.

    The shame is that today the very notion of alchemy is greeted with mirth and hilarity, an example of distorted medieval thinking, with no scientific basis.

    The real pity of this closed thinking, is that if there was ever an age capable of understanding the scientific implications of alchemy then this is it; for in theory the workings of alchemy are quite plausible. We know for instance that many substances have molecular structures that are to a great extent similar. All it takes to turn one into another is the rearrangement of its molecules. To turn lead into gold for example requires the displacement of just one molecule. It really is that simple !

    Of course the difficulty lies in the minute size of these molecules, and the problems in manipulating them. Nevertheless we are now seeing the first tentative steps in the development of machines capable of manipulating the tiniest particles! Indeed given time the transmutation of base metals into gold and silver, by molecular engineering might well become no more than a routine process.

    The Elixir of Life.

    The transmutation of metals was only part of the alchemical quest. The other more elusive goal was the Aqua Vitae, the so called Elixir of Life!

    Here we are faced with one of the most basic of human desires to not only prolong life, but also to remain perpetually young ! The quest for this secret has carried on for hundreds of years ! Throughout history, particularly in the Middle Ages, there have always existed those who believe that this Elixir can be found by arcane methods of purifying substances in conjunction with the power of the Earth and the planets! In effect they believed they could find the secret to retard, if not entirely bring to a halt the aging process.

    Again we find ourselves in an area where modern research is catching up with well established ancient beliefs. For the aging process is something that we now know a lot more about. In fact the genes responsible for aging can now be identified and isolated, and from this vital step it is surely no more than a matter of time before the influence of these genes is modified and the aging process curtailed and retarded.

    Malignant Virus.

    Some observers choose to see aging in terms of a malignant virus, and although we commonly accept our lifespan to be somewhere in the order of eighty years or so, these theorists say there is no reason why we should not live out life spans up to ten times as great ! The fact that we don’t, is they say the result of this malignant aging virus which they believe can in time be isolated and removed !

    Significantly, ancient writings show a progressively diminishing life expectancy. In the early Biblical days for example, people living five or six hundred years was nothing unusual. People have often questioned the method of counting years in these times, but as we saw earlier the definition of a year as 365 days was already known and used ! At no stage in the Bible, or in any other document relating to these fantastic life spans are we led to believe that when dealing with peoples ages one year equals anything other than the currently accepted three hundred and sixty five and a one quarter days .

    But if it is true that people did live out these fantastic life-spans what was it that allowed them to do so? Moreover why did this longevity abruptly fall to a life-span of years that is much like our own ? What happened to make it this way ? For that matter why did the alchemists in their "divine art "feel the secret of longevity could be manufactured by use of a secret formula ?

    Curtailed development.

    Here the implications are truly staggering. Once we lived out fantastic life-spans encompassing half a millennia, and now our allotted life expectancy falls to well below a century. As we mentioned earlier it’s almost as if at some time in our development we inherited a devastating aging virus that even in this technological era still bedevils our species.

    Perhaps the Elixir of Life was the secret formula that retarded the affects of this destructive gene virus, a secret formula that became lost and forgotten. Or perhaps it was just handed down and administered to trusted initiants, who kept it a closely guarded secret.

    The fact is these secrets were never meant for the masses, but only those felt worthy to discover them!

    Ancients among us.

    The folklore surrounding the Elixir of life refers to people alive today who have lived for thousands of years. People perpetually young, who just drift from place to place, never settling, or placing roots. These wanderers are rumoured to work to a secret agenda, influencing governments, and the mood of the people with subtle behind the scenes activity. Then having accomplished their mission in one place they then move to the next.

    Practical Science.

    Seen through the light of modern eyes these romantic legends are seen as just that – quaint fables that have no place in modern science. Yet in its day alchemy has been termed the science of sciences, and in the Middle Ages more than one practitioner of these ancient crafts became famed for their skill in them..

    The truth is we find numerous exciting references to alchemists who were accredited with great success in the process. In fact the 13th century British alchemist Raymond Lully, had such a firm reputation for his skill that he was accorded special facilities by Edward the Third ! In the book "The Lure and Romance of Alchemy", CJS Thompson describes "that when Lully arrived in London, lodgings in the Tower were assigned to him – not it should be stressed as a prisoner – and that there he made gold".

    Constantinos writing in 1515, declares that he actually saw "the gold pieces that were coined from the metal which at that time were still named in England, The Nobles of England, or the Rose Nobles".

    The Impossible science?

    We also find hints that the Elixir of Life, was not the undiscovered chimera it is thought to have been. In fact extracts from Medieval manuscripts clearly mention that the "impossible science" may have been more than just a fleeting dream.

    The historian Alberuni commenting on the claims of Hindu alchemy gives us the following insight: "They (the Hindus) have a science similar to alchemy which they call Rasayana, an art which is restricted to certain operations, drugs and compound medicines. It’s principles restore the health of those who are ill beyond hope and give back youth to fading old age".

    Pills of Immortality.

    The writer CJS Thompson describes "a curious legend concerning a Chinese alchemist Wei-po-Yong, who wrote a treatise on a preparation called the Pills of Immortality,"which after a prolonged study he is said to have ultimately succeeded in making"!

    The authenticity of some of these obscure manuscripts is bound to be open to question yet undeniably there is a consistent written record of alchemists who were said to have discovered this Elixir of Life! We also find tantalising manuscripts detailing the exact steps involved in the alchemical process but these are disappointingly wrapped in a vague mystical prose made purposely unintelligible.

    People who arrive at a knowledge of these things feel, quite understandably, that they have been hand picked by a supernatural power, and that any disclosure of this knowledge to people unprepared or unequipped to handle it represents a desecration of what to them, are divine truths and sciences!

    The situation regarding knowledge of these things can best be expressed in terms of a well worn phrase that "those who talk don’t know, and those who know won’t talk "!

    Because of this veil of secrecy the arguments of those for and against, are bound to be confined to circumstantial evidence, though we feel that here too it will not be long before mainstream science begins to catch up with this "chimera", and places alchemy in it’s rightful place as an accepted scientific process.

    Nuclear Warfare in Antiquity.

    Ancient Nuclear Warfare.

    Did ancient civilisations indulge in nuclear warfare? We are not referring to relatively recent civilisations such as the Greeks or Egyptians, but civilisations that existed in a time unimaginably distant.


       

    Nuclear wars in space and deepest antiquity!

    There is a feeling amongst some scientists that a highly deadly form of star wars may be taking place between alien civilisations far out in space. Fodder for these theories comes from unexplained explosions witnessed by numerous astronomers.

    Deep space explosions.

    Five or six years ago an article in the Herald Tribune it said there had been at least 80 unexplained explosions in deep space during the last decade alone! This had baffled many of the leading scientists and astronomers who were at a complete loss to explain the phenomenon! According to the article the largest of these explosions had occurred "180,000 light years away in the large Magellanic Cloud outside our galaxy"!

    The article also related that "Ray Klebesadel, a leading scientist at Los Alamos, said this event was definitely not a supernova!" According to him the explosion was more like a nuclear bomb blast! This was a view also echoed by a nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedmann who declared: "Tremendous activity of this sort could well be life out there involved in a war"! Another quote is from James Oberg of Houston who is on record as saying: " It is a legitimate theory that star wars may be taking place!"

    Controversy.

    More recently the continuing phenomenon was dealt with in a piece in the Times of London which outlined the controversy it had sparked! Academics were sharply divided between those who insisted there was no mystery to address and others who were firm converts to the idea of a stellar Armageddon being fought out in the depths of the universe! Some felt the explosions to be no more than igniting meteors in the Earth’s upper atmosphere! Then just as adamant was the view that the evidence pointed unmistakably to a point of origin many trillions of miles distant!

    Solar system

    Significantly prominent occultists and astrologers have always believed that a devastating form of star wars once occurred much closer to home – within the boundaries of our very own solar system! The basis of these views concern the fact that Mars and to some extent the Moon and Venus show signs of once having been filled with running rivers and considerably more of an atmosphere than is presently the case! Conditions that would certainly make the existence of intelligent life possible! But inter-planetary wars in the solar system? Could it really have happened?

    Enormous collision.

    What we can say for certain is that far from rising up on the planetary scale of evolution Mars and the Moon are actually decaying! They once held a reasonable atmosphere with running rivers but now look sparse, empty and barren! In fact a closer look at the Martian surface shows that at some stage in it’s history it was subjected to an enormous collision which literally tore out a canyon over 2500 miles long! Additionally as photos from the Viking landers showed quite plainly the surface of the planet is absolutely strewn with small chunks of rock resembling the debris from some tremendous explosion! But where could such an explosion have come from? The solar system now looks so sedately dormant that it’s hard to imagine such violence!

    Planet X

    For some time it has been theorised that a planet between Mars and Jupiter just literally exploded into fragments to create what we now know as the asteroid belt! Planet X as it became known has attracted much fascination! It’s existence was even theorised by a mathematician Johann Bode.

    Bodes Law.

    According to the theory – known as Bodes Law – actually the work of Johann Titius – there exists a definite and repeatable ratio of the distances of the planets to the sun. Six planets were then known but astonishingly the distance of the others as yet undiscovered were correctly deduced by this law which is now relegated to no more than a baffling coincidence!

    What is of great interest to us is that according to this law there should be another planet between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, exactly where the asteroid belt now lies! Occultists believe this was once the location of a sizeable planet that was literally blown apart by an incredible weapon of destruction, or impact with another planetary body! The former would require a weapon considerably more potent than anything we know today, because although nuclear weapons are quite capable of destroying all surface life, the actual structural existence of the world itself would never be threatened!

    Mythology which is habitually an eye to events of long ago frequently makes mention of celestial wars, and even the Bible makes at least one reference to a war in the skies!

    The Titans and Olympians.

    In a nutshell occultists believe that the planets Venus, Mars and the Moon were once inhabited by advanced societies who fought out a planetary war on a scale outlined in mythology as the clash between the Titans and Olympians! The result was a Solar System in chaos – the destruction of a planet – and the orbital change of Venus to a position considerably closer to the sun! In the break-up vast debris such as seen on Mars would have been thrown out in all directions. The Martian and Lunar atmospheres, together with their rivers and whatever life on them would quite literally have been flung into space rendering the planets forever uninhabitable!

    Terrestrial Evidence.

    On Earth the evidence of nuclear wars deep in antiquity is even more convincing! Here we not only have the physical scars but the graphically written accounts of some of the most ancient texts on Earth. The Mahabharata, an ancient Indian saga at least five thousand years old speaks of flying machines called Vimanas that were used to launch a powerful weapon of destruction; " a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe!"

    Here is a reference concerning the destruction unleashed by two warring sets of adversaries: "The Earth shook, scorched by the terrible heat of this weapon. Elephants burst into flames and ran to and fro in a frenzy, seeking a protection from terror. Over a vast area other animals crumpled to the ground and died. The waters boiled, and the creatures residing therein also died. From all points of the compass the arrows of the flame rained continuously!

    Later we find: "An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousand suns rose in all its splendour. It was the unknown weapon, the iron thunderbolt, …..a gigantic messenger of death!" The effect of this weapon was that, "The corpses were so burnt that they were no longer recognisable. Hair and nails fell out. Pottery broke without cause. Birds, disturbed, circled in the air and were turned white. Foodstuffs were poisoned!"

    Message for our age.

    To any other generation verses of this nature would surely have seemed no more than poetic hyperbole. They had after all nothing to compare them with. Unfortunately we know only too well the awesome capability of nuclear weapons and their immense destructibility, and it would take someone of particularly low imagination to fail to see the similarity between these accounts and what we now know of a nuclear holocaust!

    Worldwide perception.

    Nor is the Mahabharata the only ancient text to describe such things. Similar accounts of great destruction are also found in the Tibetan Stanzas of Dzyan, the beliefs of the Hopi Indians, and even in the Bible! The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is widely thought of in these terms, particularly since their location is now occupied by the mysterious Dead Sea hollow – one of the most inhospitable places on earth!

    Charred ruins.

    Written evidence is one thing, but when it comes to physical evidence of these conflicts this too is very imtriguing. Here we enter into the realms of another baffling enigma – the vitrified remains of fortresses, ziggurats, and towers that have been subjected to an unaccountably sharp blast of heat. In his book Secrets of the Lost Races writer Rene Noorbergen talks of charred ruins to be found between the River Ganges in India and the mountains of Rajamahal. "The walls have been glazed, corroded, and split by tremendous heat. Within several of the buildings that remain standing even the surfaces of the stone furniture have been vitrified: melted then crystallised. No natural burning flame or volcanic eruption could have produced heat intense enough to cause this phenomenon. Only the heat released through atomic energy could have done this damage"! Also in this same region a human body was discovered with a radioactivity "which was fifty times above the normal level".

    To order a copy of Secrets of the lost Races please see the book column on the right.

    Worldwide phenomenon.

    This baffling enigma of vitrified ruins is to be found all across the world. No more so than North America where the strange remains of vitrified rocks and dwelling places defy logical explanation. In South America the Brazilian ruins of Sete Ciddaes are enormously revealing. Author Noorbergen writes of "ruins melted by apocalyptic energies…"! Elsewhere, in Mesopotamia sizeable ziggurats – a form of early pyramid – have been found melted to their base in a vitrified mass!

    In the Arabian desert blackened stones litter the sands over a wide area, showing signs of having been subjected to intense radiation. In Israel the location of the Dead Sea and it’s mysterious connection with Sodom and Gomorrah bears evidence of an amazing focus of heat that is thought to have gouged out the entire area in a massive explosion. Vitrified rock created under intense pressure is a frequent discovery, and in 1952 archaeologists discovered a vitrified area of sand that stretched out over hundreds of square feet! Apparently deposits like this are similar to those left behind at the White Sands atomic testing site in America!

    In fact wherever we look in the world the baffling enigma of vitrified ruins challenges our intellect! From Peru, to Scotland and Scandinavia; to the plateau’s of China and India, this indelible evidence attests to some undeniably violent act! Not everyone will be convinced of a nuclear answer but as we have seen the evidence is extremely compelling. Intriguingly a number of established scientists also find themselves seduced by the evidence.

    Official endorsement.

    In 1909 when academics were first beginning to grasp the awesome power of the atom, physicist Frederick Soddy wrote in his Interpretation of Radium: "I believe that there have been civilisations in the past that were familiar with atomic energy, and that by misusing it they were totally destroyed."

    The sun is becoming stronger.


    Violent Sun

    Data recorded over the last century shows that solar activity is on the increase. This increase has been noticeably apparent over the last thirty years and seems part of a continuing pattern.

    But how much more violent will our sun become and what are the likely consequences?

       

    The sun is getting stronger

    It’s official! Latest studies reveal our sun has suddenly become more active. In fact solar activity over the last 40 years has shown a dramatic increase in comparison to the average taken over the 250 years since records were kept. Currently this increase represents no threat to us but inevitably the question has to be asked: How long will it be before the sun becomes too hot for comfort?

    Worst case scenario.

    The answer to this is vital for survival. Throughout this site we have outlined many possible hazards and dangers that we cannot afford to ignore. With the sun these fears become especially pronounced because solar activity is something which falls entirely outside our control. A firm and stable sun is vital for our survival and any change to its activity could prove disastrous to our existence. In plain language increased solar activity is the very worst case scenario. Asteroids and polar reversals may be terrible to contemplate but when it comes to the sun we have a source of catastrophe from which there would be absolutely no chance of escape or recovery.

    Optimum conditions.

    Until now the sun has proved itself to be reassuringly steady. It is precisely because of this that life thrives so well here. Without these optimum conditions life would be impossible and it is fascinating to note the critical parameters within which life flourishes. If the planet was just a little too hot or cold no life would exist, and this is why we depend on the sun to remain as stable as it is.

    Massive fireball.

    The uncomfortable truth is that eventually the sun will destroy the Earth. Scientists estimate that in several billion years the sun will heat up and expand to such a phenomenal extent that it will literally absorb the Earth together with most of the other planets in the solar system. Finally with its energy expended it will shrink back to explode in a massive fireball.

    Solar surge.

    The question is: Could the first stages of that demise be already upon us? In other words, is the sun about to enter the next – and most explosive phase of its life cycle? What is certain is that over the last century there has been a doubling of the strength of the suns magnetic field. This period there has also seen a corresponding surge of solar energy and no one can be sure what the long term consequences will be.

    Global warming.

    Some scientists are now saying that global warming is principally attributable to increased solar activity rather than emissions from fossil fuels. This may well be so but it would be the height of folly to ignore our resonsibilities in this dilemma. Solar forces are certainly beyond our control but if the sun has suddenly become more violent then it was never more important to maintain our atmosphere in as heathy a state as possible. Quite simply the Earth’s atmosphere is our sole defence against harmful solar energy and we need it to survive!

    Worst danger.

    Of all the dangers that we face, increased solar activity is definitely the most prominent. Even if we can do nothing about it, we can at least make sure we don’t make matters worse for ourselves by damaging the atmosphere – our sole protection against the universe.

    The truth about Astrology. 


    New found respect.

    To conventional science astrology has no basis in fact. However times are changing. New knowledge and sense of direction mean that astrology now has a more wider respect.


    Today Astrology is even  the subject of study courses at University. But how does it work?

       

    Astronomy v Astrology.

    Science v Mysticism.

    Today professional astronomers heap buckets of cold water on astrology, but it wasn’t always this way. In fact up until the turn of the last century there was almost no distinction between astronomy and astrology.

    Then a new so called "new enlightenment", persuaded the pseudo intellectuals that the stars and planets couldn’t possibly have any effect on what goes on down here on Earth – least of all to the point of predestining a persons character. From then on astronomy became the sensible interpretation of the stars, while astrology was downgraded as the provenance of fools and eccentrics.

    Exact Science.

    The fact is astrology does work. The stars and planets do affect our lives. An example of this is our own sun. Without it we could not exist. We depend on it for life. Then again there is the effect of the moon on the tide. Just two examples that prove planet Earth is very much affected by celestial affairs The ancients realised this connection far better than we do. Even in the very earliest societies astrology was already an exact science – probably the second oldest profession that exists.

    Working science.

    The amazing thing is that even the most skeptical astronomer is forced to admit that astrology works. What they do somehow find hard to accept is that a persons entire outlook can be shaped by the stars and planets. Even astrologers find it hard to explain the mechanics of the process, yet surely the answers are not so difficult to understand. In fact the explanation falls well into the realms of pure science.

    Celestial Forces.

    Although we look upon space as an empty void the reality is far different. Instead we find a maelstrom of competing forces – turbulent energy and radiation streaming out in all directions. The sun is a prime source of this energy, and our planet receives a heavy bombardment from it. If it were not for the filtering effects of the atmosphere much of this energy would be dangerous. As it is only a fraction reaches through to the surface, and is of little harm to us. Nevertheless it does have an effect on us, influen cing weather patterns, affecting broadcasting equipment, electrical devices, and undoubtedly our moods and character.

    Energy Streams.

    This is the crux of how astrology works, because this stream of energy is constantly fluctuating. It means that a person born now will be subject to different forces than one born in five minutes time. If anyone doubts the veracity of this assertion we can do no better then illustrate our point with photos taken from SOHO – NASA’s solar space telescope.  As can be seen from the images below the energy streaming away from the sun is always different These differing fluxes of solar energy clearly demonstrate why it is vital for the astrologer to know the exact time of a persons birth. It is also vital to know ones precise location of birth because different latitudes receive hugely varying amounts of this energy.




    Cosmic Energy.

    In addition to the energy we receive from the Sun there is the additional Cosmic energy that permeates through from the rest of the Earth’s Galaxy and also the Universe beyond it. This interacts with the Suns energy, and the planets, so that broadly speaking the effects are predictable when studied over a very long period. This is because the Sun completes its apparent yearly course to the same background of stars – the indomitable Zodiac – whose stars and constellations all emit fantastic amounts of energy that despite the enormous distances involved still finds its way to our planet. This creates cycles of influence which for thousands of years were observed, noted, and written down.

    Stamp of character.

    In turn this energy imposes a virtual stamp on a persons character, so that if their date and birth location are precisely known, an incredibly accurate assessment of that persons character can be made by any competent astrologer. This includes every aspect of their character, as well as their optimum choice of career and leisure activities. In short a complete dissection of the person that they really are!

    Planetary Influence.

    The planets play a defining role in astrology. When major planets align on the sun they create massive forces, that in turn cause extra solar activity sending out streams of energy that affect every aspect of our lives. From early times it was noted that when planets align in a certain way events repeated themselves to a certain pattern. Likewise people were also shown to be influenced in a predictable pattern, and so the science of astrology was born. A science in the truest sense of the word. One that today’s scientists and astronomers would do well to explore.

    See how the planets also have an effect on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and catastrophic weather patterns.
