Foreword
By Jim Marrs
"There is nothing new to learn about the assassination of JFK."
Words like these have become almost a mantra among sanctimonious
media pundits and complacent publishers. The problem is that they’re
not true.
In this book, Ed Haslam takes our knowledge of the dark underpinnings
of the 1960s to a new level by offering a whole new look at events
surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He
focuses on activities in New Orleans during 1963, reaching far beyond
Lee Harvey Oswald’s leafleting or his contacts with anti-Castro
Cubans, government agents and mobsters.
Anyone who has seen the Oliver Stone film JFK or has read one of the
many books on the assassination knows of New Orleans District
Attorney Jim Garrison’s ill-fated prosecution of International Trade
Mart Director Clay Shaw.
We know of Guy Banister, the ex-FBI agent who was connected to the
CIA, anti-Castro Cubans and the accused assassin Oswald. We know of
David Ferrie, a defrocked priest who was connected to the Mafia, the
CIA and Oswald.
Shaw was able to successfully argue that he had never met Ferrie or
Oswald. Today, we know that claim is simply untrue.
It is now well-accepted that officials within the federal government
of the United States of America took steps to effectively block and
derail Garrison’s probe. It seemed the New Orleans investigation was
at an end.
But what if all that activity in New Orleans had nothing to do with
the assassination? What if there was some other reason for sabotaging
Garrison’s investigation?
After all, there is not one hard piece of evidence linking the Shaw-
Ferrie axis to the events in Dealey Plaza. Ferrie, the man connected
to Oswald, the Mob and the CIA, never got closer to Dallas than a
Houston phone booth, and there was never any serious accusation that
Clay Shaw went to Dallas.
Could there have been a deeper secret reason why the Garrison
investigation had to be shut off? And could that reason have had more
to do with contaminated polio vaccines and the secrecy of a deadly
biological weapon experiment than any plotting against President
Kennedy?
In his 1995 book Mary, Ferrie & the Monkey Virus, Haslam opened a
whole new can of worms when he revealed the medical experiments that
had taken place in David Ferrie’s apartment in 1963.
He was one of the first to bring to the public the now well-
documented story of how the polio vaccines of the 1950s was
adulterated with a cancer-causing virus derived from monkey glands.
Federal certification officers were aware of the possibility of the
polio vaccine being defective but were pressured into approving the
vaccine by powerful medical interests, including Dr. Alton Ochsner of
New Orleans.
Once the magnitude of the cancer-causing viruses in the polio
vaccines became known, a massive covert effort was undertaken in an
attempt to find a cure or preventative. All this was clandestine
work, very hush-hush. No one wanted the American public to know that
the polio vaccines inoculated into millions of our citizens were
contaminated with dangerous monkey viruses, perhaps causing the
cancer epidemic of recent years.
But then the story took an even darker turn: the CIA began to take an
interest in the work. After all, this was a time when documented
efforts were under way to find a subtle way of assassinating Fidel
Castro. Military and intelligence eyes sparkled at the prospect of
somehow injecting Castro with cancer. His death would appear natural,
and there would be no accusations from the Soviet Union.
But what was Oswald’s role in all this activity? The evidence of
Oswald’s intelligence work for the U.S. Government is overwhelming.
Did he become involved in a biological weapons experiment so
monstrous that its secret had to be maintained at all costs?
Diligent researchers know that Oswald was playing intelligence games
in New Orleans in the summer of 1963. One day he was handing out pro-
Castro literature on street corners, some of it stamped with the same
address as Banister’s anti-Castro office at 544 Camp Street. Another
day, Oswald was offering his services to anti-Castro militant Carlos
Bringuier. Oswald’s duplicity resulted in what appeared to
authorities as a staged fight between Oswald and Bringuier on a New
Orleans street.
Oswald was arrested for disturbing the peace. While in jail, he did
not ask to see a lawyer but instead someone from the FBI. Despite
being outside normal business hours, FBI Agent John Quigley arrived
and spent more than an hour with Oswald, who commenced to detail his
activities since arriving in New Orleans, almost as though he was
making a report to superiors. Yet Oswald made no public mention of
David Ferrie or his work at Ferrie’s cancer lab.
According to information gathered by Haslam, Oswald also was much
more closely connected to his uncle, Charles “Dutz” Murret, and New
Orleans crime lord Carlos Marcello than previously suspected.
But Haslam’s primary focus is on the strange and horrible death of
Dr. Mary Sherman, whose charred body was found in her home in July
1964. She had been stabbed multiple times. Her body exhibited the
effects of extreme scorching and heat, yet there was only superficial
fire damage to her bed and home.
He also delves into Oswald’s work with Ferrie in the covert cancer
lab and its fatal results. His research provides a plausible
explanation for the caged white mice reported in Ferrie’s apartment,
Oswald’s missing time at the Reily Coffee Company, and for the never
fully understood trip to Clinton, LA, by Oswald, Ferrie and Shaw.
Readers of Haslam’s previous book, Mary, Ferrie & the Monkey Virus,
will recall the author’s suspicion that Dr. Sherman’s death may have
been the result of an accident involving a linear particle
accelerator used in the cancer research. In this updated account,
Haslam lays out strong evidence that just such a device was in use on
the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital grounds near Tulane in the
1960s.
His previous work was embraced by the late Mary Ferrell, that
indefatigable Dallas JFK assassination researcher. When asked her
opinion of Haslam’s research, Mary replied, “Based on what we know
today, I think it’s totally accurate.”
In this new volume, Haslam brings the one thing missing from his
earlier work — a living witness.
The importance of this new testimony was summed up by consummate
conspiracy debunker John McAdams, who stated, “If Judyth Vary Baker
is telling the truth, it will change the way we think about the
Kennedy assassination.”
Ed Haslam’s research may indeed change the way we think about the
assassination, about Lee Harvey Oswald and about the greatest health
scandal in history.
The tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy may come to be
seen as a mere bump in the road of a series of national scandals and
conspiracies which have plagued the United States right up to today.
