<< That is the astonishing claim of JFK researcher Professor
Lawrence Merrick, author of an upcoming blockbuster book
Killing the Messenger: The Death of JFK.
"We now know the real reason why President Kennedy was
assassinated," declared Prof. Merrick of Cambridge, Mass.
"It appears that some individuals within our government
were determined to maintain the secrecy surrounding
captured UFOs -- and decided to silence the President
before he could speak.">>
Could this be hype to promote his book in order to cash in on Kennedy and/or
UFOs?
<< Prof. Merrick says he began a search for the undelivered
speech after learning the President's original handwritten
notes had fallen into the hands of Texas Governor John
Connally -- who was riding in JFK's death car that fateful
day in Dallas.>>
1. How did he learn of this speech?
2. How did he find out that Connally received the notes?
<< "I was surprised to find that Kennedy handed Connally the
speech, which was on note cards, to look at, shortly before
the motorcade set off at 12:55 p.m.," said Prof. Merrick.>>
How does he know this?
<< The governor was badly wounded in the gun attack.
"Connally was terrified for his own life," said the
historian.
"He paced the bloodstained index cards in a safety deposit
box with orders to a trusted aide that the contents not be
revealed until after his death.">>
1. Was a DNA test done on the blood stains to see if the blood belonged to
Kennedy or Connally?
2. If this professor is in this to expose the truth ... how come he didn't
display a scanned version of these note cards on the Internet along with
samples of Kennedy's handwriting?
<< When Gov. Connally died in 1993, the aide removed the cards
and held on to them.
Last year, Prof. Merrick tracked down the aide, who passed
the speech on with a guarantee of anonymity.
Prof. Merrick was flabbergasted when he read the cards. He
took them to five handwriting analysts, who agreed the
speech was "95 percent certain" to be Kennedy's.>>
1. Seems he could have also posted the results of the handwriting experts on
the Internet.
2. Why did this aide, who was presumably afraid of the government suddenly
decide to trust this professor to keep him safe from harm?
3. Have you seen the statistics about how many witness' to the Kennedy
murder were done away with? The Secret Service, CIA, FBI, etc., (the
conspirators) would have covered every base and would have searched
Connally's residence, office and banks for any trace of evidence that they
wanted to keep secret and they would have used National Security as the
reason/excuse for doing so.
<< Research reveals that just days before his trip to Dallas,
JFK met with his predecessor President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, notes Prof. Merrick.
"I believe he was seeking advice on whether to go public
with the facts about UFOs," Prof. Merrick said. "But other
government insiders apparently felt the truth about UFOs
would cause widespread panic. And they were willing to kill
to keep the information secret.>>
Is professor Merrick psychic? Does he have notes, recordings or some other
evidence other than his idea that Kennedy went to see Ike for advice on
disclosing UFO information.
<< "I hope now President Clinton will give the speech that
should have been delivered 36 years ago.">>
How old is this article? Clinton is out of the picture.
<< Here is what the President would have said:
My fellow Americans, people of the world, today we set
forth on a journey into a new era. One age, the childhood
of mankind, is ending and another age is about to begin.
The journey of which I speak is full of unknowable
challenges, but I believe that all our yesterdays, all the
struggles of the past, have uniquely prepared our
generation to prevail.
Citizens of this Earth, we are not alone. God, in His
infinite wisdom, has seen fit to populate His universe with
other beings -- intelligent creatures such as ourselves.
How can I state this with such authority?
In the year 1947 our military forces recovered from the dry
New Mexico desert the remains of an aircraft of unknown
origin. Science soon determined that this vehicle came from
the far reaches of outer space. Since that time our
government has made contact with the creators of that
spacecraft.
Though this news may sound fantastic -- and indeed,
terrifying -- I ask that you not greet it with undue fear
or pessimism. I assure you, as your President, that these
beings mean us no harm.
Rather, they promise to help our nation overcome the common
enemies of all mankind -- tyranny, poverty, disease, war.
We have determined that they are not foes, but friends.
Together with them we can create a better world. I cannot
tell you that there will be no stumbling or missteps on the
road ahead.
But I believe that we have found the true destiny of the
people of this great land: To lead the world into a
glorious future.
In the coming days, weeks and months, you will learn more
about these visitors, why they are here and why our leaders
have kept their presence a secret from you for so long.
I ask you to look to the future not with timidity but with
courage. Because we can achieve in our time the ancient
vision of peace on Earth and prosperity for all humankind.
God bless you. >>
Are these the words that were written on the note cards, or more of the
professor's psychic insights?
If Kennedy found this UFO evidence back in the early 1960s how come no one
else has found the same information he found and wouldn't he have been smart
enough to copy the evidence and leave it with his brothers, trusted aides or
other confidants?
Looks to me like this professor is just promoting his book and out to make a
buck. It would be interesting if he did have irrefutable proof of what he is
proposing.
