Cosmic Reality - 1
Rules 1 thru 4

One day my sister made the comment, "That's just another example of Cosmic Reality." Laurie did not have to explain the phrase "Cosmic Reality". What I found ironic is that my life had been dedicated to the search for some ultimate wisdom, some way of explaining life and our reason for participating. I had looked at it all: from the economic/political structure of the world to the probability of Earth being visited by extraterrestrial, from ancient history to quantum physics, from Hitler's Nazis to nuclear power, from Megalithic man to crystals and healing with energy. I spent a lifetime studying Life while Laurie lived Life. And, in the end she not only understood Cosmic Reality, she even had a name for it.

"Cosmic Reality" is just such a perfect match of two words. Yet, I do not remember ever hearing or seeing them together until Laurie's remark. I suspect Laurie can explain Cosmic Reality easier than I can, however, I am the one who wanted to be the writer. What I know for sure is that Laurie's understanding of Cosmic Reality has allowed her to create a very wonderful life.

This presentation is intended to bring the reader to a working knowledge of Cosmic Reality. Such knowledge will provide the individual access to personal power. By being "empowered" you will finally understand total freedom. Those who have been ruling the world for millenniums accessed Cosmic Reality, took the power, and have ruled Reality as they and we have perceived it upon Earth. These self-proclaimed rulers of Reality can be thought of as the Black Nobles and they are your enemy.

The Black Nobles are your enemy because they have willingly conspired to keep mankind ignorant. It is ignorance that is the ultimate enemy, the Black Nobles are simply its agents. The irony is the Black Nobles believe they are acting in our best interest. They do not view themselves as evil incarnate. They are corporate executives, financial wizard, world leaders, scientists of all varieties, religious entities, and others. They have names you would recognize and some you will never hear.

My introduction into the reality of the Black Nobles came forty years ago when they shattered the foundation of my childhood mind - when they assassinated John Kennedy.

In murdering Kennedy someone assassinated the ideals of an American generation which continued to judge the American dream in terms of American reality. It was my generation that questioned the Vietnam War right into oblivion; which began to use drugs to alter consciousness; which searched other cultures in quest of a messiah, yogi, teacher; which popularized concepts of social justice. As a product of my generation I had an ingrained suspicion America was not what it seemed. In great part, that paranoia was a direct consequence of Kennedy's death and the lies generated concerning who had murdered him and why assassination had been required.

An unanticipated consequence of the Assassination was the impact it had on a generation of minds conditioned by the schools, family, and churches to believe in certain accepted concepts. In one tragic moment all that learning began crumbling like a house of cards. In witnessing the stopping of the world for those three days in November 1963, to have felt the confusion and fear, to have seen the sudden changes of the entire look of the nation, my generation moved away from a belief in the stability of life and were more apt to believe the only thing permanent in the Universe was change.

This subtle paranoia that I carried with me since November 1963 allowed me to question everything and anything - nothing was sacred. When the high school English teacher proposed a debate and a classmate proposed the subject be Flying Saucers, I volunteered to take the position that UFO's actually existed. At the time of my volunteering, I had never even considered the possibility that spacecraft from another planet could be watching Earth. After researching available data, I had no doubt that someone up there was watching.

When an acquaintances told about living in a haunted house, I began studying ghosts which led to the whole field of "Occult Sciences". "Occult" simple means "hidden". Today the same subjects are categorized as "New Age", "Metaphysics", "Psychic Research", and "Quantum Physics".

Twenty-five years ago the scientific community was not even acknowledging the possible truths behind any of the occult sciences. Yet, had any of those scientific minds studied the evidence, they, like myself, would have to acknowledge the wealth of data supporting many claims made concerning the existence of spirit, the power of the mind over the body, telepathy, reincarnation, etceteras. Today there is an entire area of science called "Enerology" which is the study of energy as it effects human health. There also exists a science called "Psyonics" which deals with energy manipulation to allow "Time Travel", as well as development of unbelievable weapons.

I have discovered many secrets since the day Kennedy died. I even joined the U.S. Army and managed to get to the highest echelons of the United States Intelligence Community. I have known whom my enemy is for a long time. Most of this very book was finished in 1988. Yet, while I could identify the enemy, I had no weapon with which to defeat them. Even knowing that ignorance was the Black Nobles ultimate weapon and that knowledge was the required counter-weapon was not enough. I still did not know what that all encompassing weapon of knowledge entailed. It took five years before I understood Cosmic Reality and the power it offered to defeat the enemy.

The following discussion of Cosmic Reality will provide you the knowledge needed to control your own destiny and that of the world. You will learn the truth about history and science. You will change.

Change will set you apart from your friends and family and others who are not aware of Cosmic Reality. You may feel alone and overwhelmed as you discover the truth about all you have been taught to believe. But, remember you are never alone.

A physicist once revealed a secret to me. He said, "Sometimes something is not suppose to happen and it does. To explain the situation we go to the X factor."

"What is the X factor?" I asked.

"Well, in the final analysis it is God. When we can find no other explanation we end up turning to God."

For many of us, Science has been the God of the Twentieth Century. In the end, it was science that proved not only the existence of God, but the existence of the human soul. This is not science fiction or religious quackery. I have spent a lifetime uncovering secrets concerning the Kennedy Assassination, Nazi Germany, psychic powers, extraterrestrial influence, secret societies, even the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. But the most simultaneously horrifying and inspiring secrets are those of science.

By the end of this book you should have ample scientific and historic proof that you are a manifestation of your soul. That your soul is a manifestation of something divine. That you have a moral obligation to access the knowledge and power of your soul and its divine counterpart. And, most of all that you are not alone....
Cosmic Reality: Rule #1

My brother Mark was teaching his six years old daughter Amanda the sport of fishing. Mark managed to bait the hook and cast it out into the lake. Much to his disappointment, the bait went one way and the hook another. Much to his relief, Amanda did not see the bait detach from the hook. Mark thought, "Well, we never catch anything, anyway, and she will never know the difference." Mark said nothing to enlighten his daughter to the reality of a baitless hook.

A short time later, excited shouts from Amanda caused Mark to chuckle. Amanda was claiming to have caught a fish. All the way down to the shore Mark chuckled, knowing Amanda must have caught herself a bouquet of seaweed. But, upon joining his proud daughter, Mark was startled to find a fish dangling at the end of Amanda's line.

In Mark's reality, fish do not bite empty hooks. But, in Amanda's reality the fish was going to bite the bait she believed was on her hook. Apparently the fish bought into Amanda's reality and not Mark's.

One could argue the fish saw something shining and took a chance. I contend this is an example of the First Rule of Cosmic Reality: Reality is what we think it is.

Oh, sure you have heard this before, maybe in connection with "Positive Thinking". But, did you know that Einstein's 1905 theories led to a scientific basis for "Reality is what we think it is."?

In the late 1600's Isaac Newton formulated a view of the world where God dictated creation would be based upon certain rules which Newton identified. While experiment and observation supported this Newtonian Physics, certain phenomena could not be explained by the list of God's.

In 1905 Einstein was attempting to explain certain of these seemingly unexplainable phenomena; it is unlikely he intended to bring down Newtonian Physics and God himself in the process. Einstein provided a way of proving the existence of the atom which was, at that time, suspected but not yet experimentally identified.

Einstein explained photoelectric phenomena by hypothesizing the existence of the photon as being a particle manifesting as a wave of light. Then he claimed gravity was a result of the geometry of space - an illusion of light being bent as it passes near a large mass. And, finally the equation of E=3M2 which simply stated that there is no matter, matter is the consequence of energy in relationship to itself. And, as human experimental probing adds energy into any situation, anytime a scientist interacts with his environment, that environment has been changed. There was nothing stable or permanent, Reality was the result of a random interaction of energy, and the best God could do was give quantum physics a method to determine the probability something would happen. God was a dice player and odds maker.

Einstein rejected this rendering of his initial theories and believed that God did not play dice. He believed there was a yet unidentified power at the very foundation of reality which would easily explain the existence of electric, magnetic, gravitational, and nuclear energy fields. During the ensuing years just such a unifying field has been identified by quantum scientists of the 1980's.

But Einstein did not wait 45 years for the proof that God existed. In 1943 he and others took a shortcut. During a U.S. Navy experiment a ship and its crew were accidentally shifted into another time zone. Among other things, the experiment proved human beings are comprised of electromagnetic fields that can exist apart from the physical body. They had established the existence of the human soul.

The "Philadelphia Experiment", as it has come to be known, also demonstrated the existence of multiple time lines. Any given future is only a possible future. The future depends upon what happens in any given present. What will happen tomorrow depends upon what happens today. Today's reality will influence tomorrow's reality - what we think is what we will get. Reality is what we think it is - Rule #1 of Cosmic Reality.
Cosmic Reality: Rule #2

Back to Mark and his fishing lesson: Amanda thought she would catch a fish and so did the fish. Amanda and the fish shared the same reality, which was much different from Mark's. Two against one and Mark's reality did not exist. This brings us to the Second Rule of Cosmic Reality: it is necessary to have a prevailing opinion of what reality should be to have any order to life. In other words, the majority rules. Amanda and the fish outvoted Mark and their reality prevailed over his.

Cosmic Reality: Rule #3

The Third Rule of Cosmic Reality is that those who are in positions of power will keep everyone else from knowing the first two rules of Cosmic Reality, which only makes sense. If you control a given reality, you certainly do not want that reality messed with, do you?

Cosmic Reality is the reality of those who have been controlling the reality of everyone else. Certain men have kept secrets from us, to keep us ignorant of the powers each and everyone has at our command. By keeping the secrets of Personal Power from the masses, these self acclaimed rulers have maintained their economic, political, cultural, and social control over the world. They have also inflicted upon the planet a present and a projected future that are frightening, in the very least.

There is however, the promise that if enough people come to realize Cosmic Reality, the future will be spectacular. Understanding Cosmic Reality has allowed those in power to retain their power. It has also resulted in scientific ventures into time travel, mind control, alchemy, manifestation, and much more. By Jesus Christ's acceptance of Cosmic Reality, the feat of resurrection was possible. Secret organizations throughout the world teach Cosmic Reality to chosen individuals. To reach the pinnacles of world power you must belong to one or more of these secret societies.

Our view of whom and what we are as individuals and nations have depended upon what we have been told is our economic, cultural, social, political, and technological histories. By maintaining a fictional history of this planet, the secret societies have prevented us from evolving into an understanding of Cosmic Reality and to benefit from that knowledge.

One's approach to the present and future depends upon one's perception of a given reality which ultimately hinges upon the past. Past, present, and future all hang together. Change your perspective on any one and the others must shift.

This book will take the reader down a path that will change perceptions of reality. It is a path encompassing 2,000 years, leading to secrets jealously guarded by history's most powerful men and organizations. Through search and luck I have uncovered some of the secret history of this planet.

By revealing the true background to our reality, reality will shift. As more and more people begin to understand Cosmic Reality, individuals will begin exercising their own personal individual powers. It really is simply a matter of getting the word out. Sometimes control over reality is as simple as telling your daughter the bait fell off the hook. Sometimes changing reality takes technological assistance, as in the case of the fall of the Communist Reality.

By dominating the means of spreading information, the Communist leadership enhanced control over the masses. Not only were television and printed media run by the governments, devices that could print or copy were strictly managed and regulated. Typewriters, copy machines, computers, etceteras were all in the hands of the leaders. However, for whatever reasons, when FAX technology allowed printed material to be sent over telephone lines and copied on the other end, the leaders did not react to the danger. FAX equipment became the primary manner of spreading word of the new belief. This new belief was one that saw the end of one Communist nation after another until it was all over within three short months.

While FAX technology allowed rebellion leaders to organize in an unprecedented manner, I contend something else was at work. This "something else" has come to be known as "The Hundredth Monkey Syndrome".

Two separate scientific groups, from two different countries, on islands separated by hundreds of miles simultaneously studied the same species of monkey. Neither group knew of the other's efforts, until after publication of their individual studies. On one island, a female monkey began mimicking the humans who washed their potatoes before eating. Soon, the immediate family of this one monkey also began washing potatoes. The scientists watched the slow spread of this new knowledge until the day the hundredth monkey learned the benefits of washing a potato. Suddenly, every member of the island's monkey population began washing potatoes. Hundreds of miles away on another island, the second set of scientist were astounded as all the monkeys on their island began washing potatoes. Somehow, over hundreds of miles of ocean, the message was sent and heard by the same breed of monkey: washed potatoes are much more pleasant to eat than unwashed.

Reality had shifted for these monkeys. Perhaps they did not even remember ever having eaten an unwashed potato. The story is true and it has sent many a human mind in search of the connecting link: what medium allowed for the transmission of the knowledge surrounding washed potatoes?

It was, of course, just the Second Rule of Cosmic Reality in action. For, it is not just the numbers of people thinking a certain thing that creates that thought into reality. It is the power of the thought; and, one extraordinary thinker can outweigh millions of humans who give little thought to anything. Or, a terrific idea, like washed potatoes, can have such impact on the minds of those knowing the fact, that the thought becomes overpowering. Or the idea that Communism was just not working and it was within the power of the people to make a change. Powerful concepts can change reality. However, the change depends upon getting the word out.

Cosmic Reality: Rule #4

Powerful people keep the masses ignorant in order to control reality. Histories are rewritten and scientific facts are kept as secrets to prevent individuals from understanding their own personal powers and threatening accepted reality. If each person understood the power of their own thoughts, reality would take on a whole new meaning.

Rule Four of Cosmic Reality is: Success lies in the being not in the doing. To change reality all any of us have to do is to change our own individual way of thinking. While you may not have to go marching, or protesting, or outwardly involving yourself in reality changing, altering your way of thinking is not the easiest thing to accomplish.

One approach is to think of reality as a drawing. If you change the background, the foreground is effected. By understanding the true historical past, your perception of the present will be altered. In viewing the present in a new light, you will see your own role differently. You will have changed the way you think.

But this book will provide more than just historical truth for you to use. The rules of Cosmic Reality you will be presented are based upon scientific fact. While it is not necessary that you fully understand the science, by having access to the secrets of science your belief in Cosmic Reality will be strengthened.

It is hoped the information presented in this book will aid the reader in gaining a more accurate perspective on history and science. To make the process of relearning less painful, much of the information is autobiographical. By explaining how I came to uncover such hidden secrets and how this new information impacted upon my life, your discovery of hidden history and science may be less upsetting than if the Nightly News suddenly jarred you with stories concerning time travel, space visitors, psychic weapons, secret societies ruling the world, or even the truth about who ordered the assassination of John F. Kennedy....

COSMIC REALITY - 2
THE KENNEDY CONNECTION

When the town's elementary school burned down double sessions at the other schools resulted in shorter school days in November 1963. I was home, changed and already at my neighbor's, a few houses down the street. It was just after 2:15 PM Eastern Standard and the radio was on in the kitchen which I had walked through after entering by the back door. I was through the dining room and in the living room when I felt I was walking through some kind of barrier. I stopped puzzled, asking aloud, "What's happening?"

My attention was drawn to the voice from the radio. "It is confirmed, President Kennedy is dead of gunshot wounds. He was shot down while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. We repeat, President John F. Kennedy has died of a gunshot wound...."

"What are they saying?" My mind was stumbling to make sense of whatever was happening. I felt lightheaded, as if my reality had somehow shifted. Nothing seemed right. And, Kennedy was dead. The man who had been from my state, the man whom I campaigned for, the man who represented every dream I had been taught to honor, the very embodiment of everything I had been taught to admire and desire - the war hero, the religious man, the good father and husband, the wealthy and charismatic President of the United States was dead. Someone had shot him. Someone had shot and killed the President.

My friend came down the stairs and said, "What's wrong?"

"They killed Kennedy. He's dead," was all I said before retracing my steps through the dinning room, past the radio in the kitchen, out the back door, across the vacant lot behind the houses, and back home.

Mom was in the kitchen when I walked in and she said, "I thought you went to see Lois?"

Again I relayed the news, "President Kennedy is dead. Someone shot him." I did not stay to watch the shock overtake my Mom. She followed me to the television. That day reality changed in one dramatic moment after another, as one after another the people of the nation and the world confronted the Assassination. Each of us had our realities shattered so dramatically that all of us remember where we were and what we were doing the day John Kennedy died.

Some of us wanted to get it all behind us and chose to accept the conclusion that Lee Oswald single handily killed Kennedy. Oswald happened to be some sort of egocentric looser who just happened to be working in a building providing the best vantage point for assassinating Kennedy in the motorcade. Some of us chose this official view of history.

Others of us believed this view was too simplistic and left all too much to chance. There was more to the story. Even others were sure that the rest of story was being actively covered up. A few became obsessed with uncovering the full truth behind the Assassination.

For me the Assassination was something less than an obsession and something more than a hobby. I immediately began compiling data concerning the murder. By the time I was a Sophomore at the University of Massachusetts, my file on the Kennedy killing and ensuing cover-up was an inch and a half thick. Much of the data was comprised of notations as to what subject was covered in which newspaper, magazine, or book.

During that sophomore year, a critic of Oswald alone theory came to speak at the University. The setting was informal and casual in a small dormitory lounge. The man, whom I will call James White, believed the official version of Kennedy's death was wrong.
The Warren Commission, which had been given the task of investigating the President's death, concluded Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from a Carcano rifle at the Presidential motorcade. One bullet passed through the President's coat and shirt 5 3/4 inches below the collar and exited through the throat just below the Adam's Apple. The apparent major difference in the clothing holes and bullet trajectory through the throat was explained as the clothing ridding up, as the President waved to the crowd. This single bullet went on to enter Texas Governor Connally under his right armpit. The bullet exited Connally's chest, below his right nipple and reentered his body, shattering his wrist and exiting again. The bullet's final wound was in the Governor's right thigh. A second bullet missed. The third entered the President's brain. There were no conspirators. Oswald planned and executed the killing alone.

Critic James White was discussing the numerous problems with the Warren Commission verdict when I asked what he thought about the third wound on Kennedy's body. White did not know what I was talking about. I produced my file and quickly located a notation concerning a newspaper account concerning statements of two FBI agents present at Kennedy's official autopsy.

FBI Agents Sibert and O'Neill stated that in addition to the neck and head wounds, a third apparent bullet wound was located in Kennedy's upper back. The FBI agents also claimed the autopsy surgeon Dr. James Humes thought the wound was an entrance wound and could not figure where the bullet had gone. Humes probed the wound, which was not very deep, thus more of a puncture.

White was confused for a major reason: nowhere in the Warren Commission Report were the FBI agents mentioned as attending the autopsy, and their official report had not been available to the Warren Commission. White's first exposure to this FBI connection was my notation concerning the newspaper account. He copied down the information.

Within days, I realized my Kennedy file was missing. In my naivete I thought it had been misplaced. Ten years later I discovered James White had died in a bar room brawl two weeks after our encounter. I believe the protectors of the Assassination's secrets had killed White and stolen my file - assuming a college sophomore would give up the search rather quickly.

These unknown protectors had stopped White and myself from pursuing the truth. They did not stop David S. Lifton years later when he uncovered the key to the Assassination puzzle and the third undiscussed wound. As soon as I saw the book BEST EVIDENCE on the bookstore shelf I had to have it, and am glad I did not wait to purchase this extraordinary book. The copy I have is the only one I have ever seen anywhere. It is a seven-hundred-page, heavily documented book which I am about to summarize to just the basics. My apologies to Mr. Lifton for the intense simplification of his work.

BEST EVIDENCE by David Lifton

Someone had a motive for killing the President of the United States compelling enough to plan assassination. Obviously, the planners realized the resulting murder investigation would be as comprehensive as ever conducted. However, the likelihood of a clue turning up would be diminished if the authorities were able to apprehend an assassin as soon as possible. The longer the investigation went on, the more danger it presented for the Assassination's planners. It would be advantageous to have someone around to take the blame - someone like Lee Oswald.

If you wished to have someone specific blamed for the killing, you would want him captured as soon as possible. It appears the Assassination planners provided authorities with data immediately implicating Oswald:

The bullets hit the President at 12:30 P.M. and by 12:38 police radio transmissions to the dispatcher pinpointed the sixth floor sniper nest at the Texas Book Depository. This information came from police radio calls by officers at the scene claiming the information was from an unidentified witness. Within fifteen minutes of the Assassination, the dispatcher was giving the height, age, and weight of Lee Oswald, provided by another Dallas Sheriff on the scene, who also received his information from an unidentified source. Yet, when the dispatcher rebroadcast the information the words "slender build" had been added to Oswald's physical description.

The question asked by David Lifton was - how did the dispatcher know the suspect had a "slender build"? Lifton also noted that while each policeman was ordered by the dispatcher to get all relevant information regarding informants' identities, none of the officers did. In each case, valuable witnesses never came forward remaining unidentified.

At the time of Kennedy's trip to Dallas, Oswald was working at the Texas School Book Depository where a sniper's nest was found. Discovered there was a rifle supposedly traced back to a mail-order request signed by Oswald who had been using an alias. Oswald's palm print was detected on the rifle, along with fibers from his shirt. The two recovered bullet

fragments and an intact bullet were ballistically determined to have been fired from the Carcano rifle. The only other piece of evidence required to provide an ironclad case against Lee Oswald was President Kennedy's body. To convict Oswald, Kennedy would have to be shot by a bullet entering from the rear.

This problem of showing a rear shot created a problem from the beginning. The following graphic shows the motorcade route. The Presidential limousine made a drastic 90 degree turn onto Houston Street and proceeded directly toward the Texas Book Depository. As the motorcade approached Elm Street and an even more drastic turn, the cars slowed down to a crawl.

The best shot would have been at that point on Houston Street (0), just before the turn down Elm Street. By the time the first rear shot was available (1), the limousine was on Elm Street and moving away. The fatal shot (3) was the third bullet fired. Both of the following photos were taken from the Sixth Floor Window where the Sniper's Nest was found. But shooting down Houston would create a frontal wound.

When a bullet enters a human body, the entrance wound corresponds to the dimension of the bullet. In exiting the body, however, the bullet blows open a wound many times larger than the entrance. Thus the size of a given wound can indicate entrance and exit paths. Supposing someone wished to frame Oswald, Kennedy's body had to show a rear entrance wound and an exit hole in the frontal portion of the body.

To set Oswald up it was imperative no bullets or wounds be discovered from any direction other than the sixth floor sniper nest where Oswald's Carcano rifle was planted. The real assassins had to fire from positions in front of Kennedy while using exploding ammunition referred to as "dumdum" bullets. This type ammunition creates a small entrance wound while mushrooming out and disintegrating before transversing the body. There is seldom an exit wound.

In Lifton's scenario, one or more assassins fired from in front of the Presidential limousine aiming at Kennedy, while someone else (Oswald - maybe) fired from the rear of the motorcade at Governor Connally using the Carcano rifle. Bullets previously fired from the rifle were planted at the scene with one in good enough condition to leave no doubt in the minds of ballistic experts as to what weapon fired it.

As bizarre as it seems, to create the required illusion, the Assassination planners had to gain control over Kennedy's body to surgically alter the physical evidence! Entrance holes in the front of the body would be enlarged to mimic exit wounds. The remains of the spent bullets still inside the body would be extracted through these enlarged openings. Small holes opposite the surgically altered wounds would be added to correspond to entrance wounds. To a surgeon ignorant in forensic medicine, an illusion of a bullet's trajectory trough the body would then exist. The man who conducted the Kennedy autopsy - James Humes - was not qualified in Forensic Pathology and had never autopsied a gun shot case, nor had any of the other autopsy pathologists present.

Yet no matter how well conceived, the plans of men all to often fall prey to the unexpected. Abraham Zapruder's film was one such event: no one planning the murder could have foretold that Zapruder would capture the entire assassination on film. Theoretically, with no perceived reason to limit the number of bullets fired, shooting Connally from the rear would have strengthened the case against Oswald. With the Zapruder film's chronicle of the exact timing between Kennedy being shot through the neck to the fatal head shot, the wounding of Connally confused the situation.

The Zapruder film's introduction of time limiting the number of bullets was only one unplanned element. Two more difficult problems dealt with the actual impact points on the President's body - namely the throat and head.

John Kennedy was alive although not breathing when brought to Parkland Medical Center, minutes away from Dealey Plaza and the Texas Book Depository. In attempting to resuscitate the President, the attending physicians needed to do a procedure called a tracheotomy, which clears a passageway to the lungs by making a small hole in the throat area. As the President's tie and shirt were removed, the doctors found a small bullet hole in his throat - perfectly positioned as an incision point for the tracheotomy. Five Dallas attending physicians believed the bullet which had pierced the throat was lodged somewhere in the lungs, because Kennedy's respiratory system continued to be erratic even after the successful tracheotomy.

While the throat wound was not fatal, the head shot was lethal. President Kennedy died before the Dallas doctors could ascertain for certain the path the throat wounding bullet had taken. The path of the bullet hitting Kennedy in the head did not appear to be a mystery to the Dallas doctors, during their nationally televised news conference later that afternoon. I clearly remember Dr. Malcolm Perry pointing to his own right temple demonstrating the point to entrance.

This most important event was carried on the three major networks, yet Lifton could not locate any piece of film concerning that press conference. So, although still photos exist with Perry pointing to his right temple, the film record has apparently disappeared from the libraries of the three networks.

The Dallas doctors believed a bullet entering the front right temple traveled through Kennedy's brain and obviously exited at the point where the skull had been blown open in the lower right rear area. The soft brain tissue had failed to stop the mushrooming dumdum bullet which blew open a telltale exit wound in the right rear skull. The bullet entering the neck was believed to have traveled downward to effect the respiratory system.

It would appear the conspiracy to frame Oswald as the sole killer had failed. The tracheotomy incision made by the Dallas Doctors could be surgically enlarged to look like an exit wound. But to reverse the picture presented by the President's broken skull would, if possible, require a massive amount of surgery. Certainly such surgery would be apparent to any autopsying physician.

In fact, the official autopsy doctor James Humes testified to the Warren Commission that Kennedy's brain had been surgically autopsied before the official autopsy began! However, Humes had related this information in such technical data that no one understood what he was really saying. Humes graphically and technically related what he had seen before beginning the autopsy. Unfortunately, there were no neurosurgeons on the Warren Commission, nor was there one among the critics of the commission's verdict. It was not until an interested David Lifton requested a neurosurgeon friend to provide a layman's explanation of what Humes had said that the truth became known.

The Dallas doctors described Kennedy's head wound as in the lower right rear of the skull, egg shaped, about 2 inches by 2 3/4 inches in size. What Humes found at Bethesda where the autopsy was conducted was a massive head wound, 5 1/8 inches across extending from the lower right rear upward for six inches. Between Dallas and Bethesda, the wound described by numerous doctors in both locations had been expanded by twice its size.

Moreover, at Bethesda the wound was completely devoid of scalp and some 70% of the right brain was missing - observations the Dallas doctors had somehow failed to perceive. Furthermore, when Humes removed the blood-saturated head wrapping - wrapping that had not been applied to the President's head in Dallas - skull fragments had fallen on the Bethesda autopsy table.

And what of the throat wound? Instead of a cleanly cut incision extending the small bullet hole for an inch and a half, Humes found a widely gaping wound with irregular edges about three inches long. Regardless of the apparently sloppy technique, Humes realized a tracheotomy had been conducted and Humes did not immediately interpret the tracheotomy as an exit hole. Humes did not know about the bullet wound until the following morning when he spoke by telephone to Dr. Perry in Dallas.

Humes changed the official results of the autopsy to include the conclusion the tracheotomy had been made at a point where a bullet had exited the throat. The official version was not released until November 24, two days after the autopsy. In this way, Humes was able to explain away the strange, apparently shallow puncture wound found in Kennedy's back during the autopsy reported by the two FBI agents. In the official autopsy results, Humes raised the wound so it would correspond to an entrance wound for a bullet supposedly exiting in the front throat area later used as the point of the tracheotomy.

Yet the Dallas doctors believed the neck wound was an entrance point for a bullet that became lodged in the upper respiratory system. Humes contributes additional confirming data concerning the Dallas observation by noting the right lung was bruised near the top. Humes ordered photographs taken of this area - shots which were not included in the official set of autopsy photographs

But when and where could all this have taken place? The body was wrapped in a sheet and placed in a bronze casket, put aboard Air Force One and flown to Washington where the casket was taken to Bethesda for the autopsy. The only possible way for the body to have been surgically altered, in the allotted time frame, would be for the bronze casket to have been empty.

Lifton located witnesses in Bethesda who saw the President's remains in a body bag as he lay in a plain, gray shipping casket. Somewhere in route the body had been removed from the bronze coffin, brought to a facility capable of taking x-rays and surgically altered. In a crazy episode reminiscent of a Keystone Cops routine, the President's body was returned to the bronze coffin and brought into the autopsy room in time to be officially autopsied by Humes.

Lifton's evidence was impressive and well presented in his BEST EVIDENCE. But, I would have still had a hard time swallowing this far-fetched scenario had it not been for one little piece of my history. I remember being fifteen years old and watching televised views of Bethesda during the time the President's body was arriving where they showed the second coffin being taken off an ambulance and brought into the rear of the building where the autopsy was to take place. I remember the commentators wondering what it all meant.

Was it just luck that had the television tuned into the network with a camera in position to see the second coffin? Granted, David Lifton was able to answer innumerable questions voiced by myself and others. And, he certainly provides a vast treasure of documented evidence to support his claims. But, it was my memory of the second coffin that forced me to accept Lifton's strange theory as the most probable manner in which the President was executed and how that execution was made to look like the work of one crazy person named Oswald.

Lee Harvey Oswald

Who was Lee Harvey Oswald? That question led me to look in David Lifton's bibliography of BEST EVIDENCE for more information on this supposed crazed killer. The most interesting listing was a book entitled LEGEND: THE SECRET WORLD OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD written by Edward Jay Epstein. The book was out of print and my bookstore clerk said it would take months to locate an available copy. I decided the expense and time were not worth getting a book I was not positive would be of value. Perhaps I would have gone to a library in hopes of finding the Epstein book, but more likely I would have just forgotten the whole thing. As it was, I left the bookstore and continued on to my next stop, a large discount store. As I was making my way through the store, I came upon a section of discount books. On a whim, I searched and found a $1.98 copy of Epstein's critical data on Oswald!

In October 1956, Oswald entered the Marine Corps where he finished seventh in his basic training class. In August 1957, he set out for Atsugi Air Force base, 35 miles southeast of Tokyo, Japan. Atsugi was also the location for the Joint Technical Advisory Group containing one of the CIA's main operational bases in Asia, as well as the homebase of the ultra-secret spy plane, the U-2.

In November 1958, Oswald redeployed to the United States where he was honorably discharged from the Marines. A year later, in September 1959 Oswald defected to the Soviet Union. In response to the defection Oswald's discharge was downgraded to dishonorable in September 1960. Secretary of the Navy at the time was John Connally, later with Kennedy in the Dallas motorcade as the Governor of Texas.

Oswald stayed in the Soviet Union for two-and-a-half years until June 1962, when he returned to the United States with his Soviet wife Marina and his daughter. A year-and-a-half later Oswald was killed in Dallas while in police custody for the killing of President Kennedy and the wounding of Governor Connally.

There are facts which could lead one to believe Oswald was an assassin working for the KGB. He had, after all defected to the Soviet Union. In addition, in October 1963 a month before the assassination, Oswald went to Mexico and the Soviet Embassy where he talked with a member of the KGB. In fact, the evidence of Soviet complacency in the Assassination was compelling enough that on June 24, 1964 Richard Helms, manager of covert CIA activities, met with Chief Justice Warren to inform him of the possible KGB connection. It is probable that the Warren Commission may have believed in the KGB link.

It is important that we do not underestimate the amount of planning that went into the Assassination. In covert operations, a good plan is to create two or more deceptions. The backup deceptions are there in case the primary cover story is blown. In the Assassination, the primary cover story is that Oswald was a crazy, disaffected individual working alone to kill the President of the United States. If someone dug deeply enough and broke through the lie concerning Oswald's sanity, a second protective lie had to exist. In the Kennedy killing, the planners needed Oswald specifically as the patsy to effectively create the second Assassination cover story - namely that Oswald was working for them Soviets.

By making the Warren Commission members believe Oswald was a KGB agent any piece of data that did not fit the Oswald-crazy-man scenario could be overlooked by individuals believing they were working in the best interest of the nation. In those dark days following the Assassination with the fear associated with the Cuban Missile Crisis a year before not forgotten, some of those covering up important data concerning Kennedy's death may have firmly believed they were protecting the American people from being informed of a Soviet involvement in the Assassination. In protecting Americans from the truth, some may have believed they were protecting the world from nuclear crisis.

Another set of evidence has been interpreted in two ways. The evidence is derived from Oswald's activities upon his return to the United States, beginning in April 1963 when he went to New Orleans. During that time, Oswald has been linked to the Mafia, as well as both Pro-Cuban and Anti-Cuban activities. This leads to the possibility that the Mafia planned and executed the Assassination due to their perceived need to stop John and Attorney General Robert Kennedy from further pursuits against organized crime. Or one could argue Fidel Castro was out to get the President because of a CIA plot to assassinate the Cuban leader. A number of books have been written supporting both these interpretations. However, all such theories are based upon the assumption that the disaffected Oswald, while he did not act alone, was part of the assassination team.

For a number of years I was a Personnel Security Officer for the United States Military. That position provided knowledge concerning the requirements for obtaining and keeping a security clearance, which gave me a unique perspective on Lee Oswald. In fact, I came to believe Oswald was working as an American spy when he defected to the Soviet Union. If Oswald was still working for the American Intelligence Community when he returned to the U.S., his activities in New Orleans takes on an entirely different interpretation. Perhaps he was spying on the Cuban and Mafia organizations, rather than a mentally disturbed participant.

Oswald's unit in Japan was the Marine Air Control Squadron One, codenamed"Coffee Mill", which assisted in tracking America's super-secret spy plane the U-2. As a member of this unit, Oswald must have held at least a Secret Clearance, probably even a Top Secret Clearance.

While assigned to Coffee Mill, Oswald did certain things which should have been grounds for immediate revocation of his clearance and, therefore his access to secret U-2 information.

* October 27, 1957: Oswald grazed his own upper arm with a derringer's .22 caliber bullet and was charged with having an unregistered weapon. Confinement was suspended.
* June 1958: Oswald was convicted in a summary courtmartial for using "provoking words" and was sentenced to 28 days in the stockade.
* October 1958: Oswald went for medical treatment after an apparent nervous breakdown which should have resulted in revoking of his clearance but did not.

This failure of authorities to take any security precautions concerning the erratic, irresponsible, and certainly not trustworthy Oswald is baffling. This apparent breakdown in normal security practice was particularly glaring in light of the September 1958 complete compromise of the U-2 IFF radar system. This situation would have been considered a major security breach involving Oswald's unit and should have brought all unit members under intense scrutiny.

Such an investigation should have uncovered Oswald's regular attendance at the local bar where the hostesses were believed to be possible communist agents. The soldier's monthly $85 could not have supported the $60-$100 cost of a date, never mind frequent visits.

In light of the rest of Oswald's background, I began thinking it is likely he was acting as an American informant, in some capacity. With this working theory of Oswald being an American agent, I began looking for other evidence that could paint Oswald as a spy, or when he went to the Soviet Union as a double-double agent. After all, Oswald's favorite television program was the story of an FBI double-double agent, "I Lived Three Lives".

In October 1959 a month after arriving in the Soviet Union, Oswald met with the Senior Consular Officer in Moscow Richard E. Snyder. Oswald wanted to renounce his U.S. citizenship. Snyder testified that Oswald made remarks concerning valuable information he intended relating to Soviet authorities.

On May 1, 1960 Francis Gary Powers had his U-2 shot down by a missile that probably homed in on the spy-plane's radar. Oswald had access to information which could have assisted the Soviets in downing Powers. The U-2 incident and Oswald's stated intention to Snyder to provide the Soviets information, naturally leads one to believe Oswald could have been guilty of releasing secret information on the U-2 project. Such action would have put him in a position of being indicted under U.S. espionage acts. Even if innocent, Oswald would have come under suspicion by competent American authorities.

On the face of it, Oswald should have feared the consequences of returning to America where he should have been brought up on espionage charges whether guilty or innocent. Yet Oswald did return to America and was never even questioned about the U-2 incident and his possible compromise of classified data.

This all seemed confusing until one piece of data was brought to light: as of May 1959 the CIA had been informed by the most valuable undercover American spy in the USSR that the U-2 program had already been compromised. Any information Oswald could have provided the Soviets was already dated by the time of his defection six months later. Thus, before his defection, Oswald was an ideal candidate for playing double-double agent: he could endear himself to the Soviets by releasing classified information the U.S. knew had been compromised while posing no real security hazard.

Consul Snyder in Moscow had continued contacts with Oswald and one episode in particular made Snyder believe there was some sort of unofficial-official communication with Oswald outside State Department channels. Oswald's mother Marquerite obtained an appointment with two State Department officials in Washington concerning her missing son, which resulted in a query letter being sent to Moscow by diplomatic pouch on February 1, 1961. While Snyder had still not responded to the query on February 13 a letter from Oswald arrived postmarked February 5. The only explanation Snyder could offer regarding how Oswald knew about Marguerite Oswald's concerns was to assume he was in communication with someone outside official State Department channels. If Oswald was still a loyal American in spite of his Soviet defection, that channel would be someone working for the U.S. Intelligence Services. Marguerite herself later suggested on the night of November 22, 1963 during an FBI interrogation of her, that her son was a government agent.

Based upon the U-2 incident, the logical probability that Oswald would be brought up on espionage charges did not dissuade the defector from requesting a return to the United States. He also made the request that his Soviet family accompany him.

On May 31, 1962 as Oswald prepared to leave the Soviet Union, FBI headquarters ordered Oswald be interrogated upon his return. The FBI already had an open file on Oswald since his defection. An initial questioning of Oswald's associates had been conducted five months after his defection, a month before the U-2 was shot down. There exists an FBI memorandum that was supposedly sent to the State Department indicating that an impostor could assume Oswald's identity - although it is unclear why this message was sent. The lookout card that was supposed to have been placed in Oswald's State Department file in response to the memorandum was never found. Another reported FBI action taken regarding Oswald was on November 10, 1959 when a "flash" notice was placed on Oswald's FBI fingerprint card to preclude an impostor.

Upon his U.S. return, Oswald was interrogated by FBI Agent John W. Fain who suggested the ex-defector be reinterviewed and took it upon himself to requestion Oswald on August 16, 1962. Four days later the Oswald case was closed, although it is not known whether a finger print check had confirmed Oswald's identity. Dropping the case is perhaps not extraordinarily suspicious except in considering the FBI's decision not to question Oswald's Soviet wife as part of its ongoing program of interrogating Russian éémigréés; even more suspicious due to the wife's uncle being a ranking member of the Soviet Military Intelligence Service.

Dropping the Oswald case in light of the U-2 incident, his defection, supposed fear of an impostor, along with the FBI failure to question Oswald's wife borders on criminal neglect unless the FBI knew Oswald worked for another intelligence agency.

Even the CIA acted strangely upon Oswald's return - failing to follow through on procedure for interviewing returning expatriates. Yet, while the CIA would have been interested in Oswald's remarks concerning anything the Soviets had done, the FBI was the agency which should have shown the most concern that Oswald or his wife could be working as a KGB agent and that Oswald may have broken his security oath and passed classified information to the Soviets.

The evidence indicates the CIA and FBI were either very incompetent regarding Oswald or that they knew he was an agent for some other U.S. intelligence agency. If it was incompetence, it stretched throughout the intelligence community: after four months in Fort Worth, Texas Oswald became an employee of Jaggars-Chiles-Stoval a firm working on classified military maps. The ex-defector who could have already broken his security oath was once again given access to American secrets. The Soviets considered map work so important that every map of the Soviet Union was classified and any released for public use had built-in errors.

From the Soviet point of view, Oswald's return to the U.S. particularly with a Soviet wife would have presented a bad image. Perhaps the Soviets just wanted to be rid of the Oswald problem and did not consider image. On the other hand, suppose Oswald convinced the Soviets that he could return to the U.S. and be a friend to the Soviets in some role.

At the map firm, Oswald could have been a Soviet agent passing on vital secrets. Or he could have been working as a double-double agent passing information with U.S. built-in errors. In any case, Oswald was in a critical position. If he was an agent for either country, only some mission of greater importance would have taken him away from Jaggars-Chiles-Stoval. Epstein could not determine why Oswald was fired from the firm in April 1963.

It was then Oswald went to New Orleans and became involved with Cuban and Mafia activities. The increasingly agitated activities of Cubans and the growing anger of the Mafia against Robert Kennedy's Attorney General activities were a threat to the Administration if not Kennedy himself. As New Orleans was a central hot spot, it would have been advantageous to get a government agent into New Orleans to spy on the Cubans and Mafia. Lee Oswald had grown up in New Orleans, his uncle had Mafia connections, and Lee was a supposed communist sympathizer. If he was an agent for the U.S., Oswald had unique credentials for infiltrating the on-goings in New Orleans.

Who was Lee Harvey Oswald? I believe the evidence indicates he was an agent for the United States government. Just as it took a neurosurgeon to uncover what autopsy surgeon Dr. Humes had really said to the Warren Commission, it took a Personnel Security Officer to see something was very suspicious concerning Oswald's continuing access to classified information.

But what agency? The United States Intelligence Community is comprised of both a military and a civilian branch. The civilian branch is further divided into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) responsible for foreign espionage and counterespionage and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which looks at domestic intelligence and counterintelligence. The military branch is overseen by a control group at the Department of Defense level with each service (Army, Air Force, and Navy) operating independent intelligence operations.

Oswald, as a Marine, was in the Navy which operated the Office of Naval Intelligence or ONI. While serving as a Marine, the most critical data Oswald had access to was on the U-2 and that project had been under the security jurisdiction of the Air Force and not the Navy. However, the airbase where Oswald was stationed was also the location for CIA activities.

If Oswald was a American agent, the ONI is front contender. Epstein's book on Oswald connects various documents relating to Oswald to the ONI. For instance, Oswald's October 1959 Moscow meeting with Consul Snyder to renounce his U.S. citizenship was reported in a State Department telex with copies forwarded to the CIA, FBI, and the ONI. Interestingly, the Commander of Naval Operations in Washington was additionally notified in a separate cable sent by the Moscow Naval Attaché.

Another strange connection to the ONI was made after Oswald's return a month before the Assassination. Oswald supposedly made a trip to Mexico where he went to the Cuban and Soviet embassies, in hopes of returning to the USSR after a visit to Cuba. The CIA's Mexican agents were watching the Soviet Embassy and on October 10 informed the FBI, ONI, and the State Department about Oswald's activities.

While there was no request made for further investigation into the matter, something continued to bother the CIA field agents: on October 23 the CIA Mexican office requested a photograph of Oswald from the ONI. The ONI failed to respond. (After the Assassination a photograph appeared, supposedly taken outside the Soviet Embassy in Mexico by the CIA and purported to be Oswald - although it clearly was not. The CIA was to later claim that photograph was not theirs and that no pictures had been taken during that time frame. For although photographic records were standard procedure, for some unexplained reason the day Oswald was supposedly at the Soviet Embassy no pictures were taken.)

And, remember the "lookout" card that was supposed to have been placed in Oswald's State Department file in response to the FBI memorandum concerning a possible Oswald impostor? While the lookout card and memorandum was not located in State Department records, the ONI Oswald files did have a copy of the memorandum.

The possibility the Office of Naval Intelligence had a certain Lee Oswald in its employment is very interesting if one accepts David Lifton's belief that Kennedy's body - the best evidence as to what had really happened in Dallas - had been tampered with before the autopsy. The Assassination's planners would have attempted to gain absolute control over the official autopsy report. It is interesting to note that not only were the attending doctors absolutely ignorant about Forensic Pathology, all the doctors were Naval officers. None of those officer reported any perceived problems with the autopsy.

Granted the doctors were there because of their positions at Bethesda. In addition to Admiral George Burkley, the President's doctor, in attendance was the Surgeon General of the Navy, Commanding Officers of the Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, the Bethesda Naval Hospital, and the Navy Medical School.

However, none of the problems with the autopsy would have existed if the law had been carried out. The Dallas Medical Examiner did not autopsy the body as was stipulated by law. As the Medical Examiner attempted to claim Kennedy's body, Secret Service agents at the scene had emphatically refused to release the remains. To some, this action appears a bit odd and quite unauthorized; did the Secret Service agents take this great responsibility upon themselves because they were afraid someone would try to further harm an already dead President?

This final controlling effort on the part of the Secret Service is suspicious in light of the whole plan. To have succeeded in the complex scenario envisioned by the planners of the Assassination, they would have had to:

* possessed detailed information concerning the Dallas trip well in advance;
* depending upon the number of wounds incurred by the occupants of the automobile, planted the correct number of bullets linkable to the Carcano rifle;
* controlled the limousine to eliminate any adverse physical evidence;
* set up the sniper's nest tied to Oswald and facilitate its finding;
* and gained control over Kennedy's body.

David Lifton identified one group fully having the opportunity to accomplish all these varied tasks - the U.S. Secret Service. The Secret Service planned the details of the Dallas trip to include the route the motorcade would take. Control of the limousine was in their hands, and it was Secret Service agents who discovered the two bullet fragments in the car after the autopsy had been conducted some nine hours after the Assassination. Lifton also makes a case that the limousine's windshield may have been switched to eliminate evidence of a bullet having come from the front glass. Even the one intact virtually perfect, infamous One Bullet, Bullet 399, was discovered in the immediate vicinity of a Secret Service Agent on a stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

And moments before Lee Oswald was shot to death while in Dallas Police custody by Jack Ruby, Oswald conversed with Secret Service Inspector Thomas J. Kelley, who went on to brief the Warren Commission on the x-rays taken of the President's body at the autopsy. If Lifton is correct in his assessment of the evidence indicating there was a great deal wrong with the autopsy, interpretation of the x-rays was a critical element. Why was a Secret Service agent used to brief this data instead of some objective qualified expert?

When all is said and done, if you believe there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy and frame Oswald, you have to accept that members of the Secret Service, Navy, and Dallas Sheriffs' Department were implicated and the resulting cover-up further implicates the CIA and FBI. What common element could unite such apparently divergent agencies and men in such an awesome event. What could bring two or three dozen men to willingly participate in the assassination of a President of the United States?

This may be the crucial problem for all the "conspiracy buffs". The amount of planning and control over all aspects of the Assassination implicates too many people. How could these people keep the secrets for over forty years? The very concept of this vast conspiracy stretches the imagination.

And there was one more piece of the puzzle that was very perplexing and bothersome....

The Nazi Connection

If we assume Oswald was not an insane killer who acted alone, we must also assume he was manipulated into playing the patsy. Someone had to be the manipulator. In espionage parlay, we are looking for a "handler". We are looking for someone who placed Oswald at the right place at the right time, that is the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963 at 1 PM.

Ruth Paine informed Oswald of a job opening at the Texas Book Depository and her neighbor Buell Wesley Frazier gave Oswald a ride to work on Assassination Day. Frazier later testified Oswald carried a package with him which could have contained a rifle. Frazier said Oswald claimed it was curtain rods. But this is the end and beginning of Frazier's involvement.

Ruth Paine, on the other hand, was involved with both Lee and Marina Oswald before and after the Assassination. Ruth was working with the East-West Contact Service arranging cultural exchanges between the US And USSR when introduced to the Oswalds in February 1963. In July, Ruth offered to have Oswald's wife Marina live with her and promised to give Marina $10 a week. In October, Ruth told Lee about the job at the Texas Book Depository. After Lee had been killed by Jack Ruby, Ruth provided critical evidence linking Lee with yet another assassination attempt.

A would be assassin fired out of the night, through a window at Major General Edwin A. Walker on April 1963. Walker had been forced to resign from the Army due to his extremist right-wing activities. Although no motive for the attempted murder of Walker has ever come to light, Ruth Paine provided a direct link between Oswald and the Walker incident.

Ruth claimed to have found a note supposedly written by Oswald to his wife implicating himself in the Walker shooting. Ruth turned this note over to authorities after finding it where Maria Oswald was supposed to have hidden it. It is not known why Marina kept such a note (if she did) after Lee told her to destroy it along with other incriminating evidence she had destroyed.

The proof in Lee's own handwriting that he had shot at Walker was used to further demonstrate Oswald's capability to murder and his unbalanced mentality. If Oswald was being set up as a patsy Ruth Paine was very influential in leading him there. But how did Ruth get into the picture?

Ruth and her estranged husband Michael were introduced to the Oswald's by Volkmar Schmidt. Schmidt had come from Germany in 1961 to do geological research in Texas. During his interview with author Epstein, Schmidt felt it was important to let Epstein know that in Heidelberhg, Germany Schmidt had lived with Dr. Wilhelm Kuetemeyer, supposedly involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the end of World War II. Schmidt went on to paint Oswald as a totally alienated individual who verbally attacked President Kennedy's foreign policies and who compared General Edwin A. Walker to Hitler. Oswald, Schmidt claimed, had added that both Kennedy and Walker should be considered murderers.

Schmidt certainly substantiated Oswald's supposed disillusionment with America and Kennedy, links him to Walker by way of a motive, and introduced Ruth Paine into the unfolding scenario. But how had the German come to play his critical part?

Schmidt was introduced to Oswald by George DeMohrenschildt in early February 1963. DeMohrenschildt had come into Oswald's life just after the defector returned to the U.S. in the summer of 1962. DeMohrenschildt had arrived in America in May 1938 from Germany. During the war he was connected to three suspected Nazi agents:
* through a letter from Nazi Baron Knostantin Von Maydell;
* through contact with Saburo Matsukata believed to be coordinating German and Japanese intelligence activities in the United States;
* through the address book of a suspected Nazi agent where DeMohrenschildt's name was listed.

Not only was DeMohrenschildt associated with known or suspected Nazis, he had been investigated at one time or another by the FBI and CIA. According to CIA files, the Office of Naval Intelligence had investigated DeMohrenschildt during the 1944 time frame. The ONI denies it ever investigated the man.

DeMohrenschildt married into theTexas oil community in 1952 and worked in the oil business. Judging from some of his known acquaintances, DeMohrenschildt possessed influential contacts in both finance and the Navy. In May 1963 DeMohrenschildt left the United States for Haiti. Years later after returning to the U.S. DeMohrenschildt agreed to a March 1977 meeting with Epstein to talk about the Kennedy murder. During the second day of interviews with Epstein, DeMohrenschildt went home for lunch and supposedly committed suicide. It is to be assumed DeMohrenschildt's full role in the Assassination died with him.

What was bothersome about DeMohrenschildt was the potential Nazi link. Could a Nazi oath have bound all the seemingly diverse people involved in the planning, execution, and cover-up of the Assassination? This was initially just a passing thought. Too bazaar to be considered. Required too much imagination.

Except for one thing: my imagination had already been stretched beyond any science fiction novel. I had reason to suspect modern day Nazis had developed psyonic weapons commonly referred to as psychic weapons. Not only that, the U.S. Navy was involved in the initial experimentation that led to these weapons and that experimentation was conducted in 1943. A year later was the time frame the Office of Naval Intelligence was supposed to have investigated DeMohrenschildt.

COSMIC REALITY - 3
Just Because You Are Paranoid
Does Not Mean They Are Not Out To Get You

Cosmic Reality: Rule #5

If thoughts create reality than everything that happens is a direct consequence of someone's thought. "Coincidence", "chance", "luck" and the such are events created by unidentified thought patterns. If the thought behind the event can be identified, the event is no longer an unexplained coincidence.

The Fifth Rule of Cosmic Reality is "Chance is a pseudonym for thought." It is a rule that is easier to understand the older one gets. After the years pile up with their diverse "chance" events, a pattern can be seen. Seemingly unimportant events from childhood can suddenly take on unanticipated meaning in adulthood.

I have already described seemingly chance events that impacted upon my research efforts in the Kennedy question, such as finding Epstein's out-of-print book on Oswald. To demonstrate Rule Five, it is necessary that we look closely at certain other events in my personal life. It will make the learning easier, the learning of incredible facts, to see it as I saw it - not in a book but through one strange experience after another....

Just Because You Are Paranoid, Does Not Mean They Are Not Out To Get You

By the time I entered the University of Massachusetts, I was extremely well versed in occult subjects. However, I was not a "psychic", in that I did not demonstrate any abnormal powers. However, a practical joke was to lead me to accessing telepathic powers.

The ability to know what someone is thinking, or to get a telephone call from someone you are thinking about, or to find you are thinking the same thing your companion is simultaneously considering are everyday examples of telepathic thought. More extraordinary examples are those where strangers seem to be thinking the same things - such as the case of the radio where Marconi was joined by two other men simultaneously developing equipment and concepts for wireless communications.

While accepting the theoretic existence of telepathy, it was a practical joke which made me an advocate of thought communication. My college Freshman roommate Barbara got me to partake in a hoax appearing to demonstrate telepathy.

Thirty-six playing cards were placed six across, six down, faces up. One conspirator pretended to be capable of telepathy, while the other pretended to be a simple observer. The "mark" would be instructed to pick a card while the "telepath" was out of the room. Upon the return of the telepath, the apparent observer would make an outwardly innocent remark which actually contained a code indicating the position of the mark's chosen card which would be identified by the telepath.

We had gotten very good at passing accurate coded statements and were having a great deal of fun. Then one mark, Judy, asked if she could try being the telepathy. I was absolutely stunned when Judy correctly picked five consecutive correct cards. The practical joke had taken an unexpected turn.

Barbara and I confessed and began to diligently attempt telepath. To make a long story short, we discovered that telepathy could be enhanced through practice, that some people are better senders, others better receivers, and that telepathic communication became easier between some people than others.

The pressures of college life pushed my interests in telepathy, UFO's, and other odd subjects out of the way. The new interests involved Anatomy, Astronomy, Statistics, Medieval History, Soviet Society, the rise and fall of a number of empires as I pursued a diploma first in Physical Education and then in History....

I had spent the first two years of college as a Physical Education major. It was Fall of my Junior year and I had just gone to the last class of the new schedule. I had been following a path leading to the bookstore to purchase necessary textbooks. I found myself standing at a branch where the bookstore went one way and the History Department the other. I realized, to my great surprise, I was actually considering changing my major and in my junior year.

While I had excelled at college history course I had taken at the University and was not happy with the Physical Education curriculum, I had never given any thought to changing the entire outlook on my future. I had almost always intended being a PhysEd teacher. At that branch in the road, I looked at my watch and realized I had been standing there for almost an hour. The next thing I remember was being in the History Department requesting a change in majors and my future.

Because the school scheduling had already taken place, many History courses were full and I was left to searching through what was left. To fill my schedule, I had to take a course on Russian History and one on Soviet Society. They introduced me to Russia and I was soon obsessed with learning everything I could about the nation and its people. By the end of my senior year, I was an acknowledged expert on the Soviet Union. This background in Soviet affairs would lead me to the highest echelons of the American Intelligence Community, where I again found an opportunity to use telepathy.

In 1974 I went on Active Duty with the United States Army as a Direct Commissioned Second Lieutenant. I was twenty-five years old and viewed myself as a civilian spying on my government. Basic Training of eleven weeks was conducted in Alabama. By the end of those eleven weeks, each officer was to have orders for their next post - another school. At the new schools, the newly commissioned women officers would learn operations of specific branches, such as Intelligence, Air Defense, Medical, Military Police, etceteras.

Five women, including myself, were in the graduation parade, still without orders. Intervention by a visiting general was the only thing that got our orders to us before the graduation ceremony. While all five were designated to go to Fort Huachuca, Arizona and the Army's Intelligence Training Center, three of us were to go on to Fort Devons, Massachusetts to attend the Army's school on electronic warfare and espionage. The three of us were officers of the Army Security Agency - nicknamed the "Super Spooks" because their work was maintained as "super secrets". Supposedly to be asked to join this unit, you had to be in the top 10% of the population (whatever that entails).

Between schools, I had a few weeks of unassigned duty. I went to a Major who was putting together a Soviet study and asked if I could help. I prepared the first Program of Instruction on the Soviet and Warsaw Pact Military Forces ever presented at Ft. Huachuca. (The Army had been preoccupied with Viet Nam and the European Communist World had been somewhat ignored.) After attending the Electronic Warfare Course at Fort Devons, I joined a small unit, located on a small Army post, thirty miles outside Washington, DC

One mission of my unit was to advise the Army as to its vulnerabilities to Electronic Warfare and Espionage conducted against U.S. forces by foreign nations. However, as in the Huachuca case, preoccupation with the Vietnam Conflict had resulted in the neglect of the Cold War problem. In fact, all aspects of the Soviet and Warsaw capabilities were very poorly understood. Before being able to tell the Army about its vulnerabilities, we had to determine what the threat actually was. This mission had been ignored until I came along.

Expertise gained in college and more recently at Huachuca made me the right person. The Army had sent me to the right place outside DC, and there was a mission only I could accomplish. Within eighteen months of becoming an Army Lieutenant, I was considered the expert on the Soviet Union's capability to conduct Electronic Espionage. I had effectively joined the Establishment.

It is ironic my metamorphosis from civilian to U.S. intelligence expert was in thought as well as deed. Soon my paranoia concerning America was replaced with a total preoccupation with analysis of the Soviet Union's capabilities to wage war and conduct electronic espionage. My fear of the Soviets intensified as their awesome military capabilities came to be understood. That fear turned to confusion when it became apparent the vast Soviet electronic espionage network was more concerned with spying on American industry and financial institutions than on U.S. military forces!

My question became one of what the Soviets feared. Why were they so concerned with American finance and industry. Initially, I decided such concern stemmed from the need for the Soviets to address their own economic problems from a world view. This interpretation came to be doubted in the fall of 1977.

A friend in the Pentagon had been sent an article from one of the various weekly tabloids concerning an undersea weapon system. This very sketchy article claimed a super-secret U.S. Navy weapon system had been placed on the ocean bottom along the U.S. West Coast. Supposedly, the project had been accomplished without the knowledge of the U.S. Congress and was financed by American industrialists. The project was codenamed "DESKTOP". As a Pentagon Security Officer, my friend began asking questions about the accusations in the article. Soon a high level Navy officer was demanding a cessation from further discussion of DESKTOP.

If American industrialists were involved with deploying weapon systems without the knowledge of the U.S. government, the Soviets would certainly have justifiable reason for expending intelligence gathering efforts toward institutions financing such activities. If such a situation did not exist, why was the Navy so interested in stopping any discussion of the DESKTOP article which implicated the U.S. Navy as working for the industrialists.


Thus far a number of events have been mentioned which resulted in my becoming very interested whenever the subject of U.S. Navy came up. First there was the decision to change my college major which resulted in my becoming well versed on the Soviet Union. That in turn provided the background allowing me to enter the ranks of a selected few with the Army Security Agency. Because my unit had the unique task of explaining the threat, I was given access to the strange knowledge that the Soviets were extremely interested in U.S. industry and financial institutions. Because I had a Pentagon friend whose mother read the tabloids and sent her a clipping on DESKTOP, my paranoia about the Soviet threat had once again turned to a paranoia concerning the United States itself. Who was running the show? And what was the Navy's role in all this?

Then, of course, I read Lifton's book, followed by Epstein's book which led to questions of culpability on the part of a number of naval officers and/or the Office of Naval Intelligence in the Kennedy Assassination. It was ironic that one of Kennedy's strong points leading to his election was his heroic escapades as a Naval Officer fighting the Japanese in World War II.

When I left the Active Army in 1978, I had spent four intense years considering conventional and nuclear war; electronic espionage; working within a government bureaucracy I knew was capable of watching its citizens in a way Adolf Hitler would have loved. When I got back into the swing of civilian life, I was shaken by the apparent unconcern of my friends and family as to the "real" state of life. It was as if two worlds existed. Civilians were concerned with rent, mates, and babies. The world of government was concerned with missiles, guns, oil, world finances, and psychic warfare.

If it was not for a practical joke involving telepathy I would never have stumbled upon the most secret of the US secret activities. Over the years, I had maintained a higher degree of telepathic ability than most because I was willing to practice. For instance, when the phone rang I would attempt identifying the caller before answering. My Army job afforded me the opportunity to really practice.

I was studying a CIA picture of a Soviet vehicle which had shown up in East Germany that looked like an Electronic Warfare System with antennas hanging off the roof. I realized that I was getting strong, independent thoughts providing an in-depth understanding of the equipment. I researched through known Soviet equipment and found the same vehicle which had the same mission I had somehow known. I had to wonder if I had somehow stumbled upon some kind of long-range telepathic link that had allowed me to intuit the purpose of the vehicle.

The same thing happened a short time later when I was studying a newly identified Soviet unit in East Germany. After reading the reports concerning the unit and focusing on its location in East Germany, I suddenly gained a detailed understanding of its mission. This time I was more inclined to conclude I was reading someone's mind who was involved with the Soviet Army.

My knowledge of telepathy allowed me to accept this unusual extra-insight and integrate it into my intelligence analysis. While I always confirmed telepathic input with real world intelligence, it was telepathy that facilitated my efforts. I also found the more I used the technique of long-range telepathic intrusion, the easier the telepathic thoughts came to me.

Yet, to be honest, I sometimes found myself attributing my intuitive grasp of intelligence data as a talent rather than a result of telepathy. However, one episode convinced me the knowledge I accessed had some telepathic connection.

I had been "scanning" a newly identified Soviet vehicle being seen more frequently with Soviet units. Its purpose was still unknown until I suddenly knew its mission - one I did not know was technically feasible. I called a meeting of my engineers and laid out the theory I had concerning this mission. Each one of the five experts claimed it could not be done.

Later, in frustration, I wrote the complicated mathematical equation at the base of the theory across the blackboard in my office. A Major working for another Army unit stationed in the same building, was walking by the open door and noticed the equation on the blackboard. He introduced himself and asked what the equation related to. I told him it was an idea I was working on. He asked to use my phone, had a brief conversation, and then asked if I would follow him. On the other side of the building American engineers were accomplishing the supposedly impossible.

Somehow I had mentally picked up a project that was highly secret and technologically advanced. Had my information come from the other side of the building or the other side of the world? Regardless of point of origin, the information had traveled by thought waves.

Along the way, there was an article in the national magazine "Time" that spoke of a psychic research unit working for the U.S. Government. I convinced a Full Colonel to look into the matter; he reported I would not be able to access this group as it was a highly secret organization. Regardless of my high-level clearances, this group was impossible to reach through conventional means.

Instead, I attempted telepathic intrusion upon the group. I found it to be a highly technical operation designed to research the possibility that psychics could use be used to telepathically intrude upon foreign governments - called "remote viewing". More bothersome, I also discovered they had the added mission of researching the potential for developing psychic weapons.

While believing the information I had mentally perceived was obtained telepathically from real life, I had no way of confirming this data. Thus, the images were filed away with other images that were equally as disturbing.

As I was saying, the transition from Army to civilian life was difficult: I felt I was caught somewhere between worlds. I needed to talk to someone trained in psychological and psychic concerns. I mentioned this need to an acquaintance who said she knew just such a man. A few days later, she took me to the office of Vincent Collins.

Within moments of our meeting, a telepathic conversation began. I immediately knew Collins worked for the super secret U.S. Government group investigating psychic weaponry; he simultaneously realized I knew of the project. Confusion followed as Collins mistakenly thought I had also been associated with the project. I finally understood his misconception and stopped the verbal silence, saying aloud, "No, I did not participate. I telepathically intruded."

"You are that powerful a telepath?"

"I guess."

There followed a verbal discussion of what I had done in the field of electronic warfare and espionage - required knowledge for those working on the psychic question. Collins also provided an explanation of why he was again working as a psychiatrist; he had simply burnt out and gone back to psychiatry for a needed break from the psychic project. After an hour, I left with an appointment to see Collins the following week. At that second meeting, Collins showed me a number of drawings and asked me to explain what they were. Each of the drawings represented components of electronic devices designed to operate in "psychic frequencies".

Energy fields composed of electric, magnetic, and gravitational forces are found in various forms throughout nature. Certain energy fields impact directly on our physical senses - primarily those in the visual and audible ranges allowing our eyes to see and our ears to hear.

Our eyes work by converting light into brain signals interpreted by the mind as images of physical reality. Our ears respond to energy fields known as sound waves. When sound waves strike the eardrum, the eardrum vibrates. These vibrations are then converted into electronic signals interpreted by the mind as language, music, noise, or other sounds.

We have built electronic sensors to access other energy fields, such as radio, television, telephone, radar, telemetry signals from aircraft identification to space communications. Yet, in all these systems there is a common process of receiving specific energy fields and converting them into electronic signals to communicate something.

The human body is a complicated communications center capable of carrying millions of messages simultaneously. These messages can dictate the beating of the heart, muscle movements, automatic workings of the organs, as well as complicated thoughts concerning energy fields. These energy fields being used within the body can be measured and are within a limited range. The "psychic weapons" technology was focused on controlling or disrupting the human body/mind's electromagnetic fields.

By showing me the drawings, Collins was testing my knowledge of the internal workings of devices designed to work within the frequencies used by human beings. After passing his test, Collins asked me to conduct some long-range telepathy; one of the drawings he showed me was the target. I had no idea what it was, and neither did Collins. "Why is it important?" I asked.

Collins allowed me to telepathically enter his mind to find the answer. Someone out there had a working psychic disrupter and it was not the Americans. The device depicted in the drawing seemed to be the "missing piece to the puzzle". Whoever had this device had access to a weapon which could disrupt the mental and/or physical fields of the human body. It would be technically possible to control human minds or destroy human bodies by transmission of energy fields.

I left Collins with the understanding it would take me some time to be able to get the mind set to conduct a long-range intrusion of the sort he required. Since leaving the Army I had not needed to resort to long-range telepathy and I was "rusty". It was the morning of the third day that I felt balanced enough to try.

I had been awake for only a few minutes and my body was still very comfortable. I thought about Collins' drawing and focused on the remembered image until it filled my mind. I allowed the image to move away until it merged with its physical counterpart. I should have maintained the link and been able to understand the details of the physical mechanism. Instead, my mind was suddenly filled with images of the Nazi swastika and I was momentarily filled with terror. Three times I attempted an intrusion and ever time it was as if my signal was being jammed.

I waited almost a week before making another attempt and the result was the same. It was then I called Vincent Collins. He asked me to come over right away. When I got to Collins office he was finishing packing. His first words were, "You attempted a remote viewing of the drawing? What happened?"

After relating my failed attempts, Collins confirmed that similar results of seeing swastikas and feeling terror had occurred whenever any American or allied psychics had tried to uncover the secrets behind whoever controlled this device. But, Collins had much more to relate. Since my attempt, a number of psychics had either died, disappeared, or become mentally unbalanced. He himself had been comatose for three days with no medical reason being found.

Collins believed my telepathic signal had tipped off whoever was in charge of a psychic weapon that they were being telepathically intruded upon. He explained that, like a fuzz-buster radar detector, it was possible to use human detectors to sense incoming telepathic signals. Collins further believed that my signal was so powerful it spooked those people into utilizing a psychic weapon against all known psychics working for any government. Those psychic researchers and psychics who had survived were being called back into government service, Collins among them.

"What the hell should I do?" I was not really concerned about protecting myself, but I was suddenly furious at whoever had attacked the very fiber of human individuals. There was an enemy out there who had the most powerful weapon yet conceived and I had no way of knowing how to fight it.

Again Vincent Collins allowed me to access his mind telepathically. I was stunned. Standing in front of me was a human male who's mind was telepathically sending me pictures of who and what he really was at the energy level. The life force inside Vincent Collins had its source in another part of the galaxy. Individuals from another world were incarnating into human existence to assist human kind in surviving.

In a very quiet, compassionate voice Collins intoned, "We can not tell you what to do. We can only guide your efforts. The only clue I can give you is to read THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT. The only warning I can give is that they will be looking for you. The fact you were never officially connected to our work will keep you safe, if you can refrain from putting out a signal they can trace. And, now you have got to get away from here, I am obviously targeted and watched."

I had not really gotten beyond the door and as he reached to open it, I asked, "Is there any common denominator to those who were attacked."

Collins replied, "There were reports of a stranger showing up and connecting with the victims just before the attacks. They all were blond males, youngish."

"That's it, young, blond males?"

With eyes that pierced my soul, this entity known on the physical plane as Vincent Collins silently let me know there existed a cosmic reality beyond anything I had ever imagined.

Some weeks later, Miami, Florida had a localized rain storm that dumped some sixteen inches on the city in a few hours. It was the most incredible downpour I have ever experienced. The roof was virtually vibrating from the amount of rain. The phone rang somewhere around ten o'clock. The voice on the other end was not familiar. "Who is this?" I asked.

"John, you met me the other night over at Sebastian's."

My mind began relaying details of that night when my friend and I stopped at a local bar. There were only a few people there and one was a blond guy who I had danced with for awhile. He was a great dancer, but I had only stayed about an hour.

"How did you get my number?"

"You gave it to me."

My warning system was flashing all over the place - I never but never gave out my telephone number. Blond male, Vincent Collins, psychic weapons, how the hell could they be on my trail. I had not gone telepathic even on a limited scale. Maybe the original telepathic signal I had sent had somehow been traced to Miami. They may have then done a routine check of files to see who was in Miami and maybe my name came up. Maybe this was just a routine and rather desperate search for anyone who could have sent such a powerful telepathic signal a couple of months before.

I decided to play the game. To the voice on the telephone I responded as cheerfully and calmly as I could, "Glad you decided to use the number. What's up?"

"Well, I've got some great hashish and don't live but a block from you - thought you'd like to come over."

"In this rain?"

"It's only one street up and a few houses down. You can make it. Come on."

"What's the address?"

Just from the house to the car was enough to get soaking wet. As I turned on the engine I was still second guessing my decision to confront this John menace. If he was somehow the blond male enemy my avoiding him would not work. But, to play the game and look innocent would probably take them off my trail. But, the rain itself was sufficient reason not to be out on the streets. I had just barely found the street John lived on before the rain was so bad I could not see out the windshield and pulled over.

I was thinking what an idiot I was to be out in the rain when a rapping on the door scared the **** out of me. Here was a strange blurred face in the window. The door was opened and here was this soaked face, blond hair John saying, "Glad you found it." Somehow I had stopped in front of John's house and he was there to greet me in the pouring rain.

The small apartment on the rear of the house was obviously not being lived in. The telltale signs of use, such as a Kleenex laying about, or knickknack, dirty dishes, the things one leaves around just in living - all these were missing. It was furnished and set to look lived in but the little things were missing.

John's obvious ploy was to subdue my conscious mind by offering the hashish. He would be looking for the telltale theta signal of telepathy.

The conscious mind operates in frequencies designated beta. Alpha signals originate in states of calmness whether just before and during sleep or in meditative states. The theta signal originates during the deepest levels of sleep where the accompanying rapid-eye-movement has caused this deep sleep condition to be called REM sleep. Theta signals have also been tied to psychic activity.

John would not need to have me confess my knowledge, he would only need to sense the theta signal to know of my telepathic powers. In spite of the large amount of excellent hashish we smoked, I was able to maintain control and never spiked a theta signal. In fact, to keep from slipping into a theta wave link, I concentrated on teaching John the very, very basics of the Occult Sciences. I spent about three hours boring this man before he had enough, deciding I was really very simplistic and I returned home.

Had I actually escaped from the grasp of my enemy? Or had I really given this guy my telephone number. Of one thing I was certain, I had not given out that number. Perhaps my visits to Vincent Collins had gotten them on my trail. And, for many years I just assumed that a record of my visit had put me on a list of possible telepaths and it had taken a few weeks to get around to checking me out.

It took a dozen years before I rethought that encounter with John. I think the original meeting with John at the local disco had resulted from my visits with Collins. My name was on a suspected telepath list. But, the second visit by John may have been something all together different. I had reason to believe that the record breaking, unexplained amount of rain comprising the downpour of that night was a direct result from John's arrival from another time. I had learned that certain men had learned to "time-travel" and that breaking the barriers of time was often accompanied by abnormal weather conditions. The key to this time-traveling was a book, and the only clue Vincent Collins had left me.

THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT

Vincent Collins did not have to explain what he meant by THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT. I had just bought the book, although I had not read it. The 1979 book by William L. Moore effected me as had David Lifton's BEST EVIDENCE: I saw it and had to have it. But it was only with Collins' prompting that I read it.

I had actually bought the book before noticing the publishers blurb, "An account of a search for a secret Navy wartime project that may have succeeded - too well." Again I was encountering the U.S. Navy and secret weapons. (It should be noted that at this time, I still had not read Lifton's BEST EVIDENCE and the Navy connection to Kennedy was still unknown.)

Moore's nonfiction account concerns the U.S. Navy's experiments in invisibility during World War II. It was a logical result of an arms race that saw one technological feat matched by another. The simple torpedo with its explosive detonated by the impact with a ship's hull, was surpassed by a torpedo that could be detonated when magnetic sensors on the torpedoes came in contact with the hull.

Some Americans thought these weapons could be forced to detonate if they encountered a strong enough magnetic field before that produced by the hull of the ship. They theorized that by using the ship as they would a radio antenna, they could radiate a magnetic field of such power that the torpedo would explode as it entered the field before impacting the hull. They were, in effect, conceiving of an energy shield similar to the one that would later be a reality in the unreal world of "Star Trek".

There is some indication the initial conception of creating a magnetic field to detonate the weapon was expanded based upon a fact of science. While no one can explain why, whenever a magnetic field exits there is a complementary electric field. Thus one continually hears of the "electromagnetic" field. Some thought it possible that in creating a powerful magnetic field, the corresponding electromagnetic field would be strong enough to interfere with an enemy's radar.

Radar, by the way, is just another byproduct of the same techniques used in radios and televisions. In all three cases, the first step is to create an electromagnetic wave radiated through an antenna. In signals used for radio and television communication, the signal is intercepted by a receiver which is able to decipher the message as voice, music, data, or visual pictures. In radar, however, the receiver is actually co-located with the antenna: the signal goes out, bounces off some object, and returns to the receiver where electronic measurements are calculated on the distance, size, or even speed of the object.

It was thought a strong enough electromagnetic field surrounding a ship could interfere with an enemy's radar signal to a point where the radar receiver would not be able to understand or, perhaps, even receive a returning signal. Then someone expanded upon this theory to wonder if it was possible to also interfere with light itself which is just another form of electromagnetic energy. If the energy field surrounding the ship were of sufficient strength, the theory went, light signals would be distorted to the point the human eye could not perceive them in the same way the radar receiver could be made useless.

In wartime, there were no time nor facilities to take a long cautious experimental approach to proving theories. Instead, the scientists went for broke: they had to see how far they could go in one experiment. The October 1943 experiment was conducted on the USS Eldridge (1,240 ton, 306 feet long), destroyer escort DE 173.

The Eldridge was berthed at the Philadelphia Shipyard the day they attempted creating their energy field. They were using a powerful electromagnetic generator called a degausser. The air surrounding the ship grew slightly darker until it evolved into a thin cloud of green mist accompanied by the sound of a rushing - like a powerful wind encircling the vessel in a counterclockwise direction. The USS Eldridge disappeared in the mist. Minutes passed before the ship again appeared, although the form of the ship displacing the water beside the berth had remained observable throughout the entire period of the vessel's invisibility.

The prevailing theory is the electromagnetic field they generated had been of such intensity that light waves had actually been bent making the ship invisible to the human eye. The prospects of such an ability must have instilled the warriors with thoughts of incredible victories. There was, however, one problem - the sailors who had been on the ship during the experiment also disappeared. Unlike the inanimate ship, the humans did not come out unscathed.

Moore uncovered evidence that some of the sailors did not reappear with the ship. Others became mentally deranged and died. A third group were those who were observed to become invisible after the experiment. Supposedly, these people could be brought back into physical alignment if someone reached out and touched them. Yet eventually they are all supposed to have disappeared.

The Philadelphia Experiment demonstrated the possible consequence incurred by individuals coming under attack by powerful electromagnetic fields; in addition to physical death and mental dysfunction, they could experience disruption of the molecular cohesion of the physical body resulting in disappearance.

COSMIC REALITY - 4
Your Daddy Was a Weirdo

In the last chapter we discussed Cosmic Rule #5 concerning chance being a pseudonym for thought. Most of the time chance brought me a book that provided pieces of the puzzle. Some secrets were "freebies", provided by a person who had access to certain information. People just tell me the strangest things. And many of these people came through my Army involvement.

After leaving the Active Army I joined an Army Reserve unit. For one weekend a month and two weeks during the summer, I again put on the Army uniform. One of those two week stints took me to a training center where I met an inspector for the United States Federal Prison systems.

This government employee and I had been conversing for some time before he told me about an experience that was still bothering him. While inspecting a prison facility in the Washington DC area, a prison official showed the inspector a building on the prison site not being used for prisoners. The building was a storehouse. Inside were boxes upon boxes. When the official opened one box, the inspector was shocked to see black military uniforms. According to the official, these were to be worn by members of the Federal Police Force - a security force to be created when the U.S. President federalized all state police.

My disbelief mirrored the inspector's initial reaction. But, the possible existence of such a federal police force, he further explained, could already be ordered by law. He wrote down a number and sent me off in search of Presidential Executive Order 11921....

Executive Order 11921

Executive Order 11921 was issued as part of the Federal Register (Volume 41, Number 116), dated June 1976, to provide the office of President of the United States with:

* the powers of government censorship;
* control over the production and distribution of all materials and their production facilities including petroleum, solid fuels, gas, electric power, water, food, farm equipment, fertilizer, and minerals;
* complete control over the means of transportation;
* and the right to distribute health resources.

The only thing an aspiring presidential dictator had to do upon gaining the presidency was to enact Executive Order 11921 "in any national emergency type situation that might conceivably confront the nation". What that entails is not stipulated.

Existence of a contingency plan to centralize basic economic, transportation, and health activities of America by an agency of the federal government was unnerving. The degree of nationalization planned would give the U.S. President the powers of a dictator. Images of a dictator brought forth thoughts of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany which took me back to Vincent Collins and his NeoNazis operating psychic weapons.

Envisioning a federalized police force wearing black uniforms brought forth images of Nazi troops strutting through Europe and Russia. Images of Europe in the thirties brought forth realities of the forties when an estimated four million members of the Nazi party appeared to have evaporated after the war - and with them went untold billions of dollars in pillaged treasures, stolen from throughout Europe.

I have always wondered where all the money went and where the Nazis had taken refuge. The problem was to convert pillaged funds into something respectable. Again fate entered the picture and I came in contact with the nuclear power industry through John G. Fuller's WE ALMOST LOST DETROIT.

Fuller's nonfiction account of the Fermi nuclear reactor that went critical and has remained a nuclear graveyard, put the fear of God in me. After researching the nuclear industry I was convinced those who were perpetuating its growth were totally out of their minds.

The secret dangers of nuclear factories demands a book of its own and is beyond the scope of what we are doing here. What is important is that a chance encounter with a book provided an explanation of what happened to the Nazi treasure. Billions of dollars could have been sunk into the nuclear industry while not affecting other economic sectors controlled by established power brokers. The best part was that nuclear industry could never really become a competitor to oil.

When your local power company goes to the price regulation people to ask for a rise in the cost to the consumer, the power company is asking for its investment money back. Rate hikes are dependent upon investment money. The more the power company invest, the more they can charge. Nuclear power plants suck up an enormous amount of investment money and can never become cost effective. To cover the expenses of one nuclear plant you could pay off pollution-free conventional power plants many times over. In fact, the only reason nuclear power plants were allowed to be built was probably to convert dirty money and/or have an excuse to continue bilking the consumer with outrageous hike rates.

And, again whether Nazi money was at the root of nuclear evil or not, the United States government was involved in yet another cover-up: nuclear plants have gone to meltdown and Americans have been lied to about the results. I no longer questioned why the Soviet Union had been so active in spying on U.S. industry and financial activities.

President Eisenhower's last address to the American people carried the warning to beware of the military-industrial complex. I also heard that at the end of his life Lyndon Johnson spoke often of a conspiracy. I wondered if this was the rambling of an old man or whether he also knew of a financial and industrial conspiracy that could effectively control the U.S.

Another book enters the picture: Howard S. Katz's THE WARMONGERS. This nonfiction documents the interrelationship of finance and industry, as well as, the manner in which they control the fields of politics and academe. It was obvious; America was under the control of a select and limited group of men. What was bothersome was the question of what type men?

What if Kennedy understood the dangers of such a merging of industry and finance. Reasons given for his assassination were that he was trying to bust the power of the unions, that he was after the Mafia, that he had ordered a withdrawal from Vietnam, and just simply that he was a threat to too many people. But what if Kennedy had uncovered a conspiracy to gain complete control over the United States and perhaps the world. Could he have seen the "handwriting on the wall" and anticipated a day when a law such as Executive Order 11921 would exist to legalize a federal police force?

My paranoia was continuing to be substantiated by my learning and experiences. Black uniforms marched through my thoughts. Vincent Collins had asked me to do a longrange telepathic intrusion on a group resulting in my mind being filled with the very symbol of Nazi Germany - the swastika. And was the Nazi connection through Oswald's handler George DeMohrenschildt something more than an interesting antidote from a bygone past? And what was the Navy's role from DeMohrenschildt to the autopsy?

It all boiled down to this: could the facts concerning the planning, execution, and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination been kept secret because the main players were all NeoNazis tied forever by some oath of loyalty? At about this time Cosmic Rule #5 kicked in again and an acquaintance of mine in the Army Reserve unit handed me a book saying, "I think you might like this".

The Bohemian Grove

The full title of the book is The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats - a Study in Ruling-Class Cohesiveness. It's author G. William Domhoff has a 1974 copyright on this tale of a retreat located in the 2700 acres of California redwoods owned by the Becktel Corporation. The Becktel corporation has a record of having employed a number of America's high level government officials as well as being responsible for building half the nuclear plants in the United States by the 1970's. Let me repeat this fact: the Becktel Corporation was the world's greatest builder of nuclear power plants.

Domhoff acknowledges the power of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Committee for Economic Development, the Business Council, the National Municipal League, and other organizations for planning American policy and managing consensus for those policies. However, he claims these organizations are the government interface for those of wealth belonging to interlocking social circles and having common economic interests. Domhoff claimed (1974) that 1%
of the population owned

* 25-30% of all the privately held wealth,
* 60-70% of all corporate wealth,
* received 20-25% of the yearly income,

* are the directors of American economic/financial institutions,
* control academic and research foundations,
* and dominate the federal government

(page 82, The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats - a Study in Ruling-Class Cohesiveness).

None of this is new. By the time I read Domhoff's work, I had compiled hundreds of references substantiating Domhoff's view of US reality. The startling aspect to Domhoff's research was uncovering the paganistic ceremonies conducted at the Bohemian Grove by the Bohemian Club. The Bohemian Club is apparently the most powerful of the identified social clubs for the power people. Once a year the Bohemian Club holds a retreat which has been held annually since 1880. Men wearing red flowing robes with pointed hoods, accompanied by funeral music and torch light, partake in this strange ceremony where a muslin wrapped wooden skeleton, carried in a coffin is cremated. The skeleton represents Care - a symbolic representation of the concerns important men bear daily. Care is burned in this ceremony marking the beginning of a two week retreat.

Basing his facts on a 1970 guest list and 1968 club membership list, Domhoff claimed 1500 men (no women allowed) attended this ceremony. Further, he found 40 of the 50 largest industrial corporations, 20 of the top 25 commercial banks, 12 of the top life-insurance companies, 29% of "Fortune" magazine's top 797 corporations of 1969 were represented by at least one director or officer (page 31). Domhoff says, "Cabinet officers, politicians, generals, and governmental advisers are the rule rather than the exception for Lakeside Talks, especially on weekends." (Page 15, The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats - a Study in Ruling-Class Cohesiveness).

In spite of the ominous guest list, it was the pagan aspects to the ceremony that I found most disturbing. Did these people really believe in wood nymphs and tree spirits and the wisdom of the owl?

A Pause Before Continuing the Tale

I should probably note that my continuing interest and active research into the question of Kennedy had become a way of fighting. Kennedy was only one subject I was pursuing in the quest for knowledge. I had always been on this quest; since Vincent Collins and an introduction to psychic weapons, never mind the possible Nazi connection, the quest had become more desperate. In many ways, I felt not only the survival of my freedom was at sake. There was something more fundamental that was also threatened. It had something to do with the freedom of the mind, the freedom to think. Could a psychic weapon be used to control our very thoughts? If our minds are really like complicated communication centers, could the right signal jam our ability to think?

That was my motivation. Fear. And fear is a very powerful form of personal energy. My fear was focused on an intent to learn everything possible. From the age of thirty, my life became mission oriented: I would fight the enemy as I had been trained to fight, as an intelligence officer. Understanding the enemy, is the weapon the intelligence officer brings to the commander.

The reason I bring this up is it provides the key to understanding the thought behind all the seemingly chance introductions to information, whether by book or by mouth, that took me this far and beyond. The main question I have had all my adult life was who killed Kennedy followed by a hundred "whys?". I have long envisioned a future where all the secrets have been uncovered. The most compelling reason for my having done anything was to learn more. In the process I have lived alone with my books and computer, considered a hermit by those who are less than my friends.

Because my life was simplified down to the basics, I have been able to focus most of my effort to asking questions and being led to the answers. The original draft of this book was in excess of 600 pages. You would have been bored. It only demonstrates my fanatical approach to learning.
