JFK 50th: The keys to understanding his assassination

by Jim Fetzer

On 22 November 2013, the Oswald Innocence Campaign will be hosting the premiere event to commemorate the 50th observance of the JFK assassination in Santa Barbara, CA, at the FessParker Doubletree Hotel (1-10:30 PM). Presenting cutting-edge research on the death of our 35th President, which holds the keys to understanding what took place, it will feature some of the best authors on some the most important evidence that clarifies and illuminates that tragic event in Dallas on 22 November 1963.

The research presented will advance extensive, detailed evidence establishing that the assassination of JFK was a “national security event”, which involved crucial elements of the most powerful institutions in the American government, including the CIA, the Joint Chiefs, the FBI and the Secret Service, who conspired with the Mafia, anti-Castro Cubans and Texas oil men to remove JFK from office and replace his policies with those of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

As Ralph Cinque has observed, this November 22nd, the government and the media are going to be going all out with the official lie about JFK--and with extreme prejudice. They are going to pull all the stops to promote the indefensible and long-disproven lie--one more stomach-churning time. What can we do to stand up to this evil pomposity? We can literally stand together--in Santa Barbara. We can come together and evoke the call for JFK truth.  A coup d-etat took place in 1963, and we have been living with the results of it for half a century--with millions of dead across the globe. With the death of John Kennedy, the US became a perpetual warfare state, and we live every day of our lives with the consequences of that monstrous fact. So, join us on this very special day to find strength in numbers, to make a blip on the national radar and take personal responsibility for disseminating the truth about JFK.

What you weren't supposed to ever know

The evidence that substantiates the scenario of the assassination as a national security event is extensive and compelling.  It has generated enormous resistance even within the JFK community, where several of those who will present their findings have been banned in a massive effort to suppress the truth and preserve the illusion that it was an event of a different kind, where the view that "the Mafia did it" or "the Cubans did it" or "the KGB did it" are frequently advanced, but where none of them could have effected the cover-up that was indispensable to convey the false impressions this conference will correct:

*  Lee Harvey Oswald was working for the government when he was framed for the death of JFK

* Photos and films allegedly taken during the assassination were altered to conceal the truth 

* Autopsy photos and X-rays were changed and faked to support a false account of the murder

* LBJ was a pivotal player--perhaps the pivotal player--who 

brought about the assassination

* George H.W. Bush was not only in Dealey Plaza but took an active role in carrying out the plot

* There were multiple shooters who tied the conspirators together to insure their mutual silence

* They included a Deputy Sheriff, an Air Force expert, an anti-Casto Cuban, a Police Officer and a Mafia shooter 

* LBJ's personal hit-man, who killed a dozen people for Lyndon, also appears to have been directly involved

* The Mafia could not have extended its reach into Bethesda Naval Hospital to alter X-rays and photographs

* Anti-Castro Cubans would have been unable to substitute someone else's brain for that of JFK

* While the KGB had the capability to alter films, it could not have gained access to the Zapruder film

The experts assembled for this unique conference--which will explain how it was done, who was responsible and why, and how it was covered up--have invested decades upon decades of their lives to research on crucial aspects of the case, including the medical, the ballistic, and the film and photographic evidence.  They include the leading authorities on the role of Lyndon Baines Johnson, on the involvement of George H.W. Bush, on the management of the cover-up, on the death of key witnesses intimately related to JFK and by others who personally knew the man accused of killing him.  If you are there, you will understand what went down.

It's Santa Barbara, not Dallas, for the 50th

The 8 hour program will consist of 6 1/2 hours of informative presentations followed by 1 1/2 hours of music, socializing, dancing, and fun. We will be commemorating but also celebrating both our awareness of JFK truth, our strong conviction that that truth shall prevail and that the “official fabrication" that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered JFK shall not endure. We have chosen Santa Barbara because Dallas is going to be run "tighter than a drum" with regard to its public events and, in relation to research, the meetings to be held there will be dominated by nostalgia for the past, not by cutting-edge research.

Our stand is unequivocal: the hit was ordered by the highest levels of government, including key figures in the CIA, the FBI, the US military and from within Kennedy’s own administration, including his own Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson. Precisely as he claimed, Oswald was "a patsy":  he was framed to distract attention from those who were responsible.  He was even captured in a famous photograph standing in the doorway at the time of the shots, which is one of the key findings that the government has tried to suppress for the past 50 years.  We will present proof making all of this beyond a reasonable doubt.

The exact site is the elegant Fess Parker Doubletree Hotel, which is right on the beach in the resort area of Santa Barbara. It is a spectacular 5-star hotel. The program will be presented from 1-5:30 PM, with an hour and a half break for dinner, and then continue from 7-9 PM, followed socializing and dancing, with music by The Pacific Coast Blues Band, including a performance of their new song, "He Didn’t Do It", an anthem for JFK truth. The conference will also include a photographic exhibit with large productions of detailed studies by Richard Hooke, Ralph Cinque, Donald Fallon and Larry Rivera.  For information about reservations, send an email to Ralph Cinque at oswaldinnocent@yahoo.com. It is advisable to book space early.
 

THE SPEAKERS: "JFK: The Assassination of America"

1-2 PM: Phil Nelson, “The Pivotal Role of LBJ in the Death of JFK”

Phillip F. Nelson is the author of LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination (2nd revised edition, 2011), in which he explains that Lyndon Baines Johnson was the cardinal instigator of the plot to kill JFK. LBJ forced his way onto the ticket as the Vice Presidential nominee in Los Angeles in 1960, telling reporters that he had studied history and had discovered that 1/4 of US Presidents had not survived their terms.  He said he was "a gambling man", but LBJ only bet on sure things. Phillip explains how Johnson was uniquely positioned to assemble the key men--from the financiers to the operational planners and the cover-up experts--to complete the job. And it was all done at the expense of a "patsy" named Lee Harvey Oswald.
 

2-3 PM: John Hankey, "What was George H.W. Bush doing in Dealey Plaza?"

John Hankey, an expert on the role of George H.W. Bush in the assassination of JFK, has produced and directed "JFK II: The Bush Connection" (2003), which is also known as "Dark Legacy: George Bush and the Murder of John Kennedy".  He also authored "Was George H.W. Bush involved in the assassination of JFK?" (2011).  John has been teaching history and English in the Los Angeles City school system for nearly three decades, including exploring alternative approaches that suggest revisions to what passes for “history” in the courses and texts that are used for instruction in American history.
 

3-4 PM: Peter Janney, "Tying Up Loose Ends: The Murder of Mary Meyer”

Peter Janney grew up in Washington D.C. during the Cold War era of the 1950s and 1960s. His father Wistar was a senior career CIA official. The Janney family was intimately involved with many of the Washington political elite that included the family of Mary and Cord Meyer, as well as other high-ranking CIA officials such as Richard Helms, James Jesus Angleton, Tracy Barnes, Desmond FitzGerald, and William Colby. In his gripping book, Mary's Mosaic (2012), Peter illuminates the magnitude of real-life evil perpetrated by the CIA far beyond that which most of us could never imagine. A graduate of Princeton, Peter is a clinical psychologist who lives by the sea in Beverly, Massachusetts.
 

4-4:30 PM: Ralph Cinque, "Photo Fakery: Morphing Oswald into Lovelady"

Ralph C. Cinque has worked in the health field as a chiropractor and health spa operator, and he is the former president of an international physicians' group. Ralph has also been an avid student of the JFK assassination for many years, and he has had a series of articles on the assassination published on Veterans Today and on LewRockwell.com.  It was his observation that the clothing that Doorman was wearing rather than his facial features was the key to his identification, which has proven to be exactly right.  He has been the moving force behind and the founder of the Oswald Innocence Campaign.
 

4:30-5 PM: Larry Rivera, "The Pervasive Role of Buell Wesley Frazier"

Larry Rivera, the son of a career military man who served as CID officer in the Army, was residing in Germany on 22 November  1963 and, at age 6, will never forget his father's reaction upon hearing of JFK's murder: "Johnson!" Larry is a Certified Network Engineer, who also owns an automotive wholesale parts business. He has made a lifelong study of the JFK assassination.  He first visited Dealey Plaza in 1991 and  subsequently attended The ASK Symposium in 1993 for the 30th observance. He has done extensive work on Billy Lovelady and on Joe Molina and recently published on Buell Wesley Frazier and the Altgens6.
