-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Were We Controlled? Lincoln Lawerence(C) 1967 University Books, Inc. New Hyde Park, N. Y. out -of-print ------- Excusa, but in the last post two pages were missing. Om K ----- A very interesting book. A bit of a hard read at the beginning, but then, the author(a psuedonymn) is covering some hard to grasp subjects. One thing to notice is that the operation( or at least parts of it ) began before even JFK was elected. Also there are very many interesting facts and theories presented. And for those with questions about Bunge corporation, it is discussed also. -- This book has recently been reissued in an annotated version, with much additional material, Highly reccommended. MIND CONTROL, OSWALD & JFK: Were We Controlled? by Kenn Thomas Adventures Unlimited Press POB 74 Kempton, IL 60946 Om K --[7]-- 18 Evaluating The Structure Of The Rumor Before we move on to the execution of the crime, let us admit that it is simpler to accept the theory of the lone killer Oswald than even to consider The Rumor. It is far more comfortable to embrace the idea that Oswald's momentary madness alone caused the tragedy and that after it was over, we were left with just a bad memory. But we are haunted with the realization that the facts simply do not fit this concept. We are left with Mr. One a nervous, guilt-ridden man who fears the exposure of The Rumor. What supports this conjecture? Penn Jones, Jr., editor and publisher of the Texas newspaper, The Midlothian Mirror, has established in his excellent reports that at least thirteen persons who possessed possibly crucial information about the assassination have met with mysterious deaths. Penn Jones has probably done more than anyone outside of the official investigative agencies to turn up new facts about the case. In his reports, Mr. Jones makes it quite clear that someone (Mr. One) is still tidying up loose ends. One renowned member of the American press was aware of The Rumor and it troubled her. She was the late Dorothy Kilgallen, widely read gossip columnist and feature writer. The only reporter who had a private interview with Ruby, she must not be discounted simply because she dealt in the sensational. Dorothy numbered among her news sources, as this author has good reason to know, some of the most reliable authorities in high positions in the nation. She also had an army of press-agents and crackpots feeding her unfounded stories. If it so pleased her to fill a column with interesting readable fluff, she was not above doing exactly that. As the daughter of a famed veteran reporter, when the big story came along, Dorothy knew very well how to pinpoint the truth and cut away all superfluous nonsense. She was the woman dubbed by both Damon Runyon and Ernest Hemingway as "the best reporter of our time." The simple facts of the matter are these: Dorothy went to Dallas. She unearthed something so sensational that it would appear that she was thrown a healthy "bone" to keep her away from her typewriter for the moment. The "bone" was an accurate advance exclusive scoop of part of the testimony of the Warren Commission. It was an unprecedented favor granted to her; it was probably done to divert her from going in certain other directions in her investigation of the case. This, in the opinion of the author, was not done by the Government! In August of 1964, her exclusive bylined scoop made every reporter in America jealous. This, however, didn't really satisfy Dorothy. Underneath was a craving to print what she thought she had really uncovered. As a willful spirited loner in her field, it was inevitable that when the mood eventually struck her, she would "leak" some of what was evidently intended never to reach print. She did exactly that. On the night of December 21, 1964, she suddenly cast aside caution. In the middle of her column, after an innocuous item about Judy Garland, Dorothy switched into high-gear and wrote the following item. Her heading indicates she was absolutely sure her source was beyond question. It was MEMO TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON: "'Please check with the State Department ... the leaders of our Armed Forces or our chief scientists, to discover what, if anything, we are doing to explore the ramifications of 'cloud-busting' which in its refined stages means thought control [our emphasis] . . . and could change the history of the world. We could catch up if someone in command gave the word before it was too late." Later, in the fall of the next year (September 3, 1965), Dorothy Kilgallen wrote that she knew that if the whole story of the reason for Marina and Lee's behavior ever came out, it would split open the front pages of newspapers all over the world. We believe it was The Rumor she was writing about when in that same column she warned, "The story isn't going to die as long as there's a real reporter alive—and there are a lot of them alive." In a fascinating account in Ramparts magazine, reporter David Welsh offers the following postscript to Dorothy Kilgallen's role in the Oswald investigation. In connection with her death on November 8, 1965, Welsh reports: A) A make-up man on her TV show quoted Kilgallen as saying shortly before her death that she would "'crack this case." B) A show-business intimate of Dorothy's claims that she told him in the last days of her life, "In five more days I'm going to bust this case wide open." C) Mary Branum, an editor of Screen Stars magazine, said she received a phone call a few hours before Dorothy's body was discovered announcing that Kilgallen had been murdered! D) Dr. James Luke, a New York City medical examiner, said there was no way of determining whether her death by "acute barbiturate and alcohol intoxication" was an accident, a suicide ... or murder! Was there in fact any connection between Dorothy Kilgallen's investigation of the Kennedy assassination and her death? We do not know . . but she must be credited as the first to sound a serious warning in print to the general public about thought control. We do not believe that the unfinished story of Dorothy Kilgallen will be lost forever in yellowing old back issues. We certainly agree with our many hard-working compatriots who have researched the point to an almost unbelievable degree that the witnesses who saw puffs of smoke from the knoll area were right. There were indeed two rifles in play at the moment of the assassination. This would confirm the public testimony of the Governor of Texas and his wife whose observations, if accurate, would mean there had to be bullets from more than one source. It was never, according to The Rumor, ever intended to be any other way. However, before we get to the second killer, consider the choice of Lee Oswald! Mr. One had Lee Oswald "tested" very carefully to see if he would crumple when the crucial moment came or would calmly follow his control instructions. These tests came in two stages. The first test was designed to see if, under instructions, Lee would shoot at General Walker, a prominent public figure. He was given the instructions. Lee took his rifle. He met an aide of Mr. One's. They drove to Walker's house. Lee calmly aimed the rifle and as soon as the other man saw that he would and did pull the trigger, he deliberately knocked the rifle off-target and led Oswald away to the car and they escaped. Nothing was to be gained by actually killing Walker. In fact, much could be lost. The second test was to determine if Lee would calmly execute a man even further up the ladder of public prominence. This time, a few weeks later, he was told that the former Vice President of the United States was to be his target. Lee showed up at his rendezvous point and indicated he was under complete control and ready to act. This pleased Mr. One, who felt that Oswald was now ready. This incident was later brought out in the Warren Commission report. It must be noted that only The Rumor can explain why Oswald "thought" he was going out of the house to shoot Vice-President Nixon who was not even in the city at that time! Mr. One and his aides evidently stayed close to the scene in Texas during the months of preparations for the fatal day. His penchant for determining for sure that a person's "control" was complete may have prompted him to order Tino De Angelis to New Orleans—at the time Lee Oswald was still there with Marina. De Angelis did admit to making a trip to New Orleans—seemingly a most remote place indeed to a man who had the troubles he did. This trip is noted in File 7036, Document 326, on page 28 of the Court Records. In reconstructing the time-table of the crime, we see Lee Harvey Oswald, completely under R.H.I.C. control, calmly waiting at a window for the Kennedy car to pass by the metal traffic sign. This, he has been instructed, is the precise moment he is to fire at the President. Another gunman is on the knoll near the overpass (a crack marksman elected by Mr. One, unknown to Oswald, to re-inforce his shooting). His nerves are steady and his reflexes liquid-smooth for R.H.I.C. is completely in control, allowing no anxiety or nervousness to upset his aim. He is therefore better than the average marksman at this moment. The car passes the sign. Both gunmen start fire at almost the same time. Then the almost robot-like Oswald, as per his instructions, leaves the rifle and unconcernedly slips downstairs and shortly thereafter OUt of the building. He is carrying his pistol on him. (This differs with printed theories that he went home and got it.) He has been controlled to forget his deadly rifle attack the minute he has fired three shots and to have no more memory of having fired them. He is, however, controlled to expect that he may have trouble with a policeman that day. If it comes and it is serious if he is accused of committing some major crime he is to shoot his way out of the trouble! He is controlled to believe that unless he does, he will be convicted of a very serious charge. (He is told to take this action in the hope that he will shoot it out and be conveniently killed!) He has been controlled to understand that some great excitement will cause the Depository to be shut down—no work for the day. When that occurs, he is simply to quit work and kill time for the rest of the day . . . do anything that he enjoys . . . but of course . . . always with pistol handy in case of trouble. The "trouble" comes when sharp-eyed Tippit does spot Oswald from the description . . . senses he may be the killer . . . and of course is himself killed while trying to pursue this point! Oswald has been controlled many times to call for the legal help of John Abt if he ever needs aid. (This to throw a false clue toward the political left). He does. When Abt does not show up, he doesn't call any other lawyer . . . simply because he wasn't controlled for that eventuality. The control only went so far, and therefore so did Oswald's robot-like demand for legal help. He remained calm and of course sure of his innocence in connection with the President's slaying. * * * In the same city . . . Jack Ruby reacted in his typical extroverted and sensitive way to what was a traumatic experience for "his" Dallas . . . and underneath lay the "controlled" Ruby waiting for the signal of a phrase that he was pre-set to act upon, according to The Rumor, when he heard it over the telephone. That phone call came shortly before 10:00 a.m. On Sunday. Ruby was directed to slip immediately under "control" . . . to behave politely to everyone and go about his business in a normal manner and to kill Lee Harvey Oswald! He was already thoroughly primed as to his motives which were at the least sentimental and somewhat credible. This call was simply to say, in effect, do it now. When just a minute or two later Karen "Little Lynn", one of the performers in his Carousel Club, telephoned to ask a favor, she recalls that he replied, "Well, I have to go downtown anyway". He did go downtown . . . and the familiar face of Jack Ruby was his passport to the right area . . . and he did indeed (completely under R.H.I.C. control) kill Lee Harvey Oswald!! But there was a fateful crack in the R.H.I.C. curtain and through the inadequate application of R.H.I.C. to Jack Ruby's subconscious, he never quite forgot certain conversations that he overheard during his original indoctrination. He heard and retained (partly in his conscious) some fearful realization of an anti-Semitic, Nazi-like nature to the conspiring group who were trying to control him. Like a child who is trying to talk about something beyond him, Ruby attempted in some of his public testimony to express some of this in words. He did very badly and in fact sometimes appeared rambling and disturbed—as indeed he was, but for a reason no one suspected. There are a few facts in connection with Ruby's mutterings which we should evaluate for just a moment: For some reason, never explained, the assassination had its greatest effect (except for the U.S.) in, of all places, Argentina. On the night of the tragedy, Dr. Arthur U. Illia, President of Argentina, called an extraordinary first cabinet meeting. Just how extra special this was, is indicated by the fact that he did not call such a meeting again until June 10, 1965—and not again until his third and last one, which he called when he was ousted from office in July of 1966. Did he call that first cabinet meeting because he felt that something had happened that day that would benefit a group dedicated to ending his stay in power in Argentina and perhaps in some way gave this group the power—or the money—to eventually move him out of office? Were these people in this "group" the anti-Semitic fascists that Jack Ruby feared? Consider this. Directly after the military coup removed Illia from office in 1966, this appeared in The New York Times of July 3: "The arrest of six directors of a Jewish-led credit union cooperative heightened tension among Argentina's half million Jews today." Later, in the article, it was noted that "nervousness has been rising among the Jewish community" since the military coup and "police squads arrested several shopkeepers in raids in a largely Jewish shopping arcade . . ." To be sure, the impact of Kennedy's death caused many a foreign leader to give thought and express grief. But in Argentina, for some strange reason, a most extraordinary cabinet meeting was called by the man who was later ousted by a group whose Nazi-like actions were reported in The New York Times in the manner above. We debated whether to include this slim clue to the possible credibility of Ruby's fears. We have included these facts because we think you should make the decision as to whether they in any way support what is known as The Rumor. Why, you may ask, if The Rumor is true did all the authorities fail to uncover it? In this author's opinion, one can only marvel that so many investigators, at so many points, pecked away with such integrity at the only visible threads of evidence left by what surely was the cleverest, most technically sophisticated crime ever committed. Without starting from the approach we have taken—without prior understanding of the tools and the motive it is an almost unsolvable crime. If The Rumor has any basis in fact, then the patterns in this book will provide a handy guideline to future researchers who will seek out the truth. Over and over again, those who investigated De Angelis and members of the Commission staff asked questions that laid bare parts of the structure of The Rumor. Instead of ridiculing their ignorance and lack of attention to their task, we often wondered as we reviewed the whole story what led them so often to the very edge of what may be the Big Truth. The Rumor does offer: 1) A motive for the assassination. 2) An explanation for the aberration of time in so many of the witnesses' stories. 3) A key to the strangely mentally-confused Jack Ruby's actions and statements. 4) The only rational explanation for the Nixon incident. 5) The only answer to the question of why "crack marksman" Oswald could not hit the easy target provided by General Walker's stationary figure at a window. 6) The only credible explanation for the self-destructive course taken by De Angelis and Allied. 7) The unlocking of the riddle of Oswald and Marina. But, you may say to yourself, who would believe that a man would be prepared years before to come back to this country to perform such an act? Not all among us were sleeping. One at least considered the possibility. That man told the Commission: "But just the day before yesterday information came to me indicating that there is an espionage training school outside of Minsk . . . I don't know whether it is true . . . and that he [Oswald] was trained at that school to come back to this country to become what they call a 'sleeper' . . . that is a man who will remain dormant for three or four years and in case of international hostilities rise up and be used." This extraordinary statement was made by J. Edgar Hoover! Is it all true . . . or is it just a Rumor? pps159-173 ------- ABOUT "LINCOLN LAWRENCE" Lincoln Lawrence, (under his own name) has written for newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media for over 25 years. He has been a network news TV commentator. He has a vast number of important information sources in Washington and New York. At the time of the assassination he was working on a project (for a highly respected American organization) which called for the active participation of President John F. Kennedy. Towards this end, he was working in liaison with the Department of Defense. Shocked by the news from Dallas, and unsatisfied with the printed accounts . . . he worked quietly behind-the-scenes for almost three years preparing this analysis of what he feels, in the cold light of the future, will be considered the most challenging of all the rumors about the tragedy. In no sense does he feel he is proving a conspiracy (he avoids the word in the book) . . . but rather . . . as the title implies . . . simply examining the structure . . . of a rumor. A rumor, so deadly in its implications, that Lincoln Lawrence felt it could not be ignored! --fini-- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations.
