1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,000 I sincerely believe that what we have done in the past as a nation overtly and covertly 2 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000 is a direct reflection on the kind of people that we are. 3 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:40,000 And I feel obligated to help set the record straight so that we know what we are and w... 4 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000 so we can divest ourselves of those evils and become again a great nation. 5 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:56,000 I don't want to live like a beggar for justice. I don't think it's becoming of th... 6 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:05,000 But all those lies that have been told to me and to other people, it's a very bad... 7 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000 And nothing based on lies can withstand very long. 8 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:20,000 I do not want my children and my grandchildren to grow up in a country wher... 9 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000 The American people can handle the truth. It's been that way since the day we were... 10 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000 All we need is the truth. Let's put it to rest. 11 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Most Americans believe the truth surrounding the assassination of President John... 12 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Marina Oswald is convinced that her late husband Lee played no part in his murder. 13 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000 I think he's absolutely innocent of the murder of President Kennedy or Officer... 14 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:07,000 I would like for people in official capacity who say that he is guilty to come up with ... 15 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Absolutely. Not one sided, but all evidence on the table. 16 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000 And only then to decide if he is guilty or innocent. I know he is innocent. 17 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000 But the danger of the truth not being known will destroy this nation actually. 18 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 They maybe don't believe me, but that's the fact. 19 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Beverly Hills is home to a former member of the 1970s House Select Committee on... 20 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:48,000 He resigned with others when their efforts to establish the truth were thwarted. Attorne... 21 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000 The executive intelligence agencies, the FBI and the CIA predominantly, looked upon the... 22 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:02,000 They were not there to help us, to give us the information we needed, and made it ver... 23 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000 And the material they did give us was severely redacted, that is, deleted... 24 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,000 And all we really wanted were the documents done by the investigators as they would do... 25 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Where the facts led us, we would go and we would report on that. 26 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000 And as I said, if those facts told us that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the preside... 27 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000 If it were that Lee Harvey Oswald acted with others, we would have said it. 28 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000 And if it was that others killed the president and not Lee Harvey Oswald, and... 29 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000 How did they frustrate us? They weren't interested in subpoenaing people who were... 30 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000 And people who were subpoenaed, who were lying to the committee, who were in the... 31 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000 What was the right thing? To hold them in contempt and or charge perjury. 32 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000 That required a vote of the committee, a vote of the House of Representatives and a... 33 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 They weren't prepared to do that because they really didn't want to find out the truth... 34 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,000 And when you have a homicide investigation, you're either involved in the truth-findin... 35 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So the government maintains the cases closed. 36 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000 It's left alone individuals to pursue the truth, and it's a long and arduous journey... 37 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000 One such pilgrim is now revealing previously hidden information using the latest comput... 38 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Tom Wilson spent 30 years with US Steel, developing his image processing techniques... 39 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000 His expert evidence in murder cases involving gunshot wounds has been accepted in federa... 40 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000 In 1988, he began to apply that expertise to images from the Kennedy assassination. 41 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000 You look at a picture and you see 30 shades of black and white, and you see a picture ... 42 00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000 You look at a picture and you see 30 shades of diversifying gray, whereas the machiner... 43 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 As you peel away the layers of the photograph, as you were peeling an onion, 44 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000 each of the layers provides to the human being some information that lie within the... 45 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:22,000 And each layer or combination of layers will result in something that is embedded in th... 46 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:30,000 I don't think anyone has ever utilized the equipment to look at the Kennedy images, 47 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:39,000 because if they have, with the expertise that I know our government has had over the pas... 48 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000 then I know they will come to the same absolute conclusion that I have. 49 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000 And it's just been an unbelievable burden ever since, because I know, 50 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,000 I know that President Kennedy was assassinated by somebody from the front an... 51 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:11,000 And the problem hasn't been the burden of knowing the truth that our president was... 52 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:25,000 The problem has been that in my efforts to bring hard scientific technical informatio... 53 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I've tried the media, I've tried the government, I've tried everything I know, ... 54 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Using image processing techniques, undreamt of when Zapruder filmed the assassination,... 55 00:06:47,000 --> 00:07:00,000 As we go further into the brain, we are able to observe all of the damage that has... 56 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:11,000 As you can see, this is the scalp area, the damage to the skull, the area of the skull... 57 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:22,000 and now we can actually go down and see the brain and the exiting bullet has gone thro... 58 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Lee Harvey Oswald did not and could not have fired the fatal shot that killed our... 59 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Tom Wilson's ability to extract hidden information from the assassination picture... 60 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000 This is photonics. This is the absolute science in the measurement of light. 61 00:07:50,000 --> 00:08:01,000 What is in these photographs and what is measured by the computer and backed up by... 62 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Badge Man shooting from the grassy knoll was first revealed in Mary Moorman's picture i... 63 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Tom's initial work confirmed his presence. This encouraged him to apply his technolog... 64 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000 This Pruder film allowed me to be able to go in and look at the head wound initially. 65 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000 The autopsy photographs allowed me to verify that there were inconsistencies within, 66 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:37,000 and the pristine Mary Moorman photograph allowed me to go in and actually measure t... 67 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000 As we go into the wound and as we expand the wound and magnify it, 68 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,000 you can see that the pixel elements or each one of these little dots is represented by... 69 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Now, if there were no wound in the rear of President Kennedy's head, 70 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:03,000 all of the squares would be the basic reflective value or the basic shade of gra... 71 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Every time, every time in my years of experience with this, 72 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000 when there is a concave or convex area that is a deformation of the oculocular, 73 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000 there is absolutely no question that the case is as it goes darker under this situation, 74 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000 that this is going from an area on the top of President Kennedy's head down into an... 75 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:39,000 because the entrance wound that supported this exit wound was fired from the right s... 76 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:49,000 The entrance wound that supported this exit wound was fired from the right frontal are... 77 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000 and it exited through the rear. 78 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Instead of trying to find shooters or gunmen in the photographs, 79 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000 I decided to concentrate on President Kennedy's massive rear end head wound. 80 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000 And what this enabled me to do was to be able to go in, rebuild the head wound as a mold, 81 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,000 use the data thereof, and track back from the head wound back to the source of the shooter. 82 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:22,000 This is a mold that was reproduced from the data points obtained from the pristine Mar... 83 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000 I took eight vertical scans, one, two, and so forth, down to the bottom, 84 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,000 and 750 horizontal scans, which allowed me to have 6,000 pieces of mathematical data 85 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000 that I could actually turn into a three-dimensional mold. 86 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:48,000 I was able to produce the exact replica, not to scale, of course, but an exact replica ... 87 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000 As you can see, this allowed me to be able to show the massive amount of material that w... 88 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:04,000 as the bullet entered the right temporal area, it came within his head and fragment... 89 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 The right fragment is here, the left fragment is here. 90 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000 And this allowed me to determine, as you can see with all the flow of forces here, 91 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,000 that all of the material was blown up, and the entrance of the fragments came from... 92 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Having gathered extensive mathematical data from the assassination images, Tom went to... 93 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Taking precise measurements from the site, he correlated these with his photographic... 94 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000 The results were not as he anticipated. 95 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:48,000 When I came back and took these co-ordinances, which were mapped out using... 96 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:58,000 I could never put President Kennedy at the spot where the Zapruder film said was fram... 97 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,000 because the projectile trajectory from Badge Man wasn't where Kennedy was. 98 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,000 And when I put President Kennedy down the road four feet further, when Badge Man cou... 99 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Mary Mormon was in the wrong location, Mr. Zapruder wasn't fit, the fence was in the... 100 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000 So I had to go back to Dallas, and I had to run more tests. 101 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,000 And what I found out was something that I had overlooked all this time in looking at the... 102 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:40,000 President Kennedy's wound in his right temporal area is at an angle like this. 103 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000 It's coming out of the ground. 104 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,000 And I said to myself, Tom, if the bullet was coming out of the ground, how is this... 105 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Because I never tried to determine where the bullet came from. 106 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000 I only know what it did to President Kennedy's head. 107 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000 This totally bewildered me that I'm at the end of this mission. 108 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:16,000 President Kennedy was assassinated by a man firing a missile from inside the manhole... 109 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:23,000 There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that that is exactly where that headshot came... 110 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000 Jack Brazile, a seasoned researcher of the assassination, believes that a gunman firi... 111 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:44,000 In 1992, he put his ideas to the test with a trained military team. 112 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000 They explored the subterranean world beneath Dealey Plaza. 113 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,440 After carefully analyzing and researching this area, they found that the 114 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:09,440 After carefully analyzing and researching Dealey Plaza through the years, the only t... 115 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:16,440 and the storm drain, which is located directly behind the wooden picket fence th... 116 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:27,440 That's the only two spots that an assassin could hide in and actually squeeze off aro... 117 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:37,440 And then, in lieu of that, being able to escape, it took us approximately 53 to 54... 118 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:50,440 Now, that was stopping and investigating and talking on the walkie-talkies, two coffee... 119 00:14:50,440 --> 00:15:00,440 So we can rest assured that it would take an assassin approximately 20 to 30 minutes to... 120 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:24,440 This ties into the storm sewer in the center of Main Street, and it's easily accessible... 121 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:41,440 The official autopsy photographs taken at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the evening of ... 122 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:51,440 However, Tom Wilson has uncovered new evidence showing that these images have be... 123 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:58,440 The dark areas represent material that are human and or environmental. 124 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:04,440 The white areas represent mortician's materials such as wax. 125 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Some of the obvious areas of disguise are the ear, where you can see the wax material ha... 126 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:41,440 The entire face has been covered with mortician's wax and materials, and most... 127 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,440 I'm not saying that restorative art was not done to President Kennedy before he was... 128 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:53,440 What I'm saying is, how can an autopsy photograph have restorative art on a cadaver? 129 00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:04,440 Tom can prove that another official autopsy photograph, first seen in the men who kill... 130 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:13,440 When image processing looks at this image, the real image that should be seen is this... 131 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:25,440 And all of the area that looks like it is solid white and nice, evenly coated white ... 132 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:32,440 It is not a man-made mortician type material. It is a painted image on a photograph. 133 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:44,440 It is my concerted opinion that this photograph was manipulated for only one... 134 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:55,440 Lieutenant Colonel Dan Marvin has spent his life serving his country. A veteran of eig... 135 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,440 15 years a paratrooper, he served in the elite special forces, the Green Berets. 136 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:07,440 Just a few weeks after the assassination, he volunteered for specialist guerrilla train... 137 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,440 Almost all of the instruction in the guerrilla warfare school was classified. 138 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:19,440 The most secret was the top secret training on assassinations and terrorism. 139 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,440 At that time we went to a different building that had a double barbed wire fence around... 140 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:44,440 On the John F. Kennedy situation, that was brought to our attention as a classic exam... 141 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,440 It involved also the cover up of the assassination itself. 142 00:18:49,440 --> 00:19:01,440 We had considerable detail. They had a mock layout of the plaza in that area and showe... 143 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,440 I don't remember where those were now. 144 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:15,440 They had quite a bit of movie film coverage, it seemed like, thinking back to that time... 145 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:24,440 They told us that Oswald was not involved in the shooting at all. He was the patsy. He ... 146 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:32,440 We did, myself and a friend of mine, form a very distinct impression that the CIA was... 147 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:43,440 During the coffee break we overheard one of the CIA instructors say to the other, thin... 148 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,440 That just reinforced or really added to our suspicions. 149 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:57,440 We really felt before the end of the training was over that one of those instructors may... 150 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,440 I had to do a lot of rethinking. 151 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:16,440 Perhaps it's the way that soldiers are fortunate, I don't know, but I just then... 152 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,440 Otherwise, why would our own people have done it? Simple as that. 153 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:29,440 At Fort Bragg, 15 months after his training, Dan was summoned to meet an official from ... 154 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,440 David Vannick, a fellow officer in assassination training, also attended. 155 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:48,440 First the company man took me aside and showed me his badge, his ID card, and he... 156 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:55,440 He didn't tell me who it was at first. I assumed what he was talking about was kill... 157 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:04,440 He asked me at first if I would accept an assignment to kill somebody. He didn't giv... 158 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,440 And he gave me the name William Bruce Pitzer. Hard name to forget, really, once you hear... 159 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:18,440 And so I told him yes. And then he said we have to, he started to lay out the details... 160 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,440 And the details included the fact that I would have to get him before he retired. 161 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:29,440 And he retired in a very short period of time, if I remember correctly, and he was... 162 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,440 So I'd have to actually get him here in the United States. 163 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:37,440 So I refused because that wasn't the way that we were trained that this was going to... 164 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:45,440 We were supposed to be used as their assets, the CIA's assets, for use in assassination... 165 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:54,440 In the United States, the mafia was supposed to supply resources they need for killing... 166 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,440 So he then asked David Vannick, he went over to David Vannick and talked to him. 167 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,440 Now I don't know what he talked to David Vannick about. He might ask him the price ... 168 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:12,440 But I never saw David Vannick after that day. Now that was in August, the first week of... 169 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:19,440 In November 1963, William Bruce Pitzer was head of the audiovisual unit at Bethesda... 170 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,440 A close colleague at the time was a young petty officer, Dennis David. 171 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:32,440 Two or four days after the assassination, I walked in to his office and I saw he was... 172 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:43,440 He had a movie editor, one of those reel to reel and runs across the screen, and he... 173 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:58,440 There were also some slides, he had some slides that he had that showed tissue slid... 174 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:08,440 And we looked at him, kind of horrified I guess you would say, at the seriousness of... 175 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:20,440 But I remember one of the things that I remembered was that we saw, they had a... 176 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,440 And the only thing we saw was a little hole about here in the temple. 177 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:36,440 And another slide that Bill had showed a huge keeping hole here in the back. 178 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:50,440 And so Bill and I logically assumed that the wound was a frontal injury wound as oppose... 179 00:23:50,440 --> 00:24:00,440 Dennis left Bethesda for a new posting. But in November 1966 a colleague gave him some... 180 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:14,440 He had been found dead in a pool of blood in his studio at Bethesda. The official verdi... 181 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:21,440 When the occupational therapist had told me this, I remember I said, you know that... 182 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:31,440 Because we used to kid him all the time when playing bridge about being a cell phone... 183 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,440 And we'd kind of harass him about it. 184 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:44,440 There are grave doubts about Pitzer's alleged suicide. His left hand had been so mangled... 185 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:53,440 Bill had told me shortly before I had left Bethesda, which was around the 7th of... 186 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,440 He had told me that he was planning on retiring because he had enough time in and... 187 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,440 And he also said he had some damn lucrative offers from some TV networks. 188 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,440 And other people have asked me why I think he was assassinated. 189 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:22,440 And I think it was because that with him retiring, they were, they and I don't know... 190 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:33,440 This 35 millimeter and the 16 millimeter film that he was, that he would take them and i... 191 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:40,440 Or he would have them aired and that would really, you know, blow some people out of ... 192 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:47,440 I could be wrong. I could be all wet. But I do know those films exist because I was... 193 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:59,440 I am absolutely certain that the name that I was given underneath those pine trees in F... 194 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:05,440 I put it completely out of my mind from 1965 until 1993. 195 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,440 And I was watching a special in November 93 about the assassination of Kennedy. 196 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,440 I think it was an aspect. It was a special by Jack Anderson. 197 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:24,440 And at the end of that special on the television, they rolled a list of 42 names... 198 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:31,440 That were somehow associated with the assassination or the cover up or the autop... 199 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:38,440 And I was sitting there in my living room watching that and the name William Bruce... 200 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,440 And it just, it made me go right back to that day in August of 1965. 201 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,440 That was the William Bruce Pitzer that I was asked to kill. 202 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,440 Unless there's two William Bruce Pitzers that worked at Bethesda Naval Hospital. 203 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:11,440 That man, the name of the other Green Beret that was approached by the CIA agent in... 204 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:17,440 Who went through the same training I did, same class I was in. 205 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:25,440 And I have tried ever since I saw the name William Bruce Pitzer come out on that screen. 206 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,440 I've tried to find him. 207 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:41,440 And I've been totally unsuccessful. I sent the letters to the special office and the... 208 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,440 Where they'll take a letter that you send them with the man's name and serial number... 209 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,440 Or if he's deceased they'll send it back to you. 210 00:27:50,440 --> 00:28:00,440 I got no response from them. So I finally sent another follow up letter and demanded... 211 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:09,440 And then I did get a response. But the response was that David H. Vanek never... 212 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:18,440 But Dan still has published army orders proving that Captain David H. Vanek was wi... 213 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Recognizing just what kind of a person I was, which I am hopefully no longer, it is not ... 214 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:50,440 It would be easier for me to just melt into the woodwork and let my family, especially... 215 00:28:50,440 --> 00:29:05,440 Rather than what I've done in the past. And I know that when this, if it is, made public... 216 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:20,440 And I just hope and pray that our love survives it. And I hope and pray that it d... 217 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:35,440 Former FBI agent and professional investigator Bill Turner has been research... 218 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:42,440 His exhaustive probing has given him exceptional insight into the events and... 219 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,440 There was much anger over his failure to provide air cover at the Bay of Pigs. 220 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:55,440 There was much anger when he did not invade Cuba during the missile crisis in October... 221 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:05,440 After the Bay of Pigs, John Kennedy reamed out the CIA for conducting too high a... 222 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:14,440 And he said he wanted to continue the campaign against Castro, but he wanted it ... 223 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,440 And so the Kennedy brothers did develop a secret agenda. 224 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:26,440 And Bobby was a protagonist in which there would be a series of sabotage raids. 225 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:32,440 There would be continued assassination attempts against Castro. 226 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:40,440 And there would be teams ready to go into Cuba if the time was right for a second... 227 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:52,440 So all of this was low profile but high intensity and was going on right after the... 228 00:30:53,440 --> 00:31:01,440 Building on the foundations laid by Bill Turner, using classified documents newly... 229 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:08,440 the investigation into the Kennedy brothers secret agenda against Fidel Castro has bee... 230 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:14,440 Project Freedom is the name given to that agenda by two Atlanta writers and... 231 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:23,440 Over the last seven years, Lamar Walden has built up a formidable database on this sec... 232 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:29,440 Together with colleague Tom Hartman, they have gained unique access to individuals... 233 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,440 and have unraveled some of the darkest secrets lying at the heart of the... 234 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:42,440 The Kennedys were determined to see some sort of action taken on Cuba one way or the oth... 235 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:49,440 primarily because they wanted to avoid Cuba becoming a political football during the 1... 236 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,440 And those would of course be kicking off at the first of the year, 1964. 237 00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:01,440 The reason that this came about was the efforts against Castro of course started i... 238 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:10,440 Nixon wildly escalated them in 1960 in an attempt to have Castro assassinated prior ... 239 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:17,440 He was unsuccessful in that. Kennedy inherited many of these programs which... 240 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,440 There was Project Mongoose which Bobby to a large extent supported a CIA program. 241 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:34,440 It didn't work. None of these programs worked and so Bobby in utter frustration and I th... 242 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:44,440 said I'm going to take, I'm going to create my own program. We are going to run this o... 243 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:51,440 Project Freedom again was Bobby Kennedy's project that he ran only with his most... 244 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:57,440 So you had Bobby at the top based in Washington and also based much of the time... 245 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:04,440 That was Bobby's main liaison with the other small handful of exile leaders that he... 246 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,440 Those leaders would sometimes contact Bobby directly but most of the time they would g... 247 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:18,440 So a second invasion of Cuba was being planned using a force of Cuban exiles. Rob... 248 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:33,440 Harry Williams was in the invasion brigade of the Bay of Pigs and when he was recuperate... 249 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:40,440 And Harry, I can tell you, he has a tremendous presence, almost a charisma if ... 250 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:54,440 And so I did interview him and he told me that the action was going to be based out ... 251 00:33:54,440 --> 00:34:07,440 But the character changed when they cooperated or co-opted a high official in... 252 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:17,440 So this developed along the line and at that point the second invasion became more of a... 253 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:34,440 John Kennedy in his settlement with Premier Khrushchev, the Soviet Union, the missile... 254 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:45,440 That was part of the agreement. So this had to be kept from the Soviet Union, it had t... 255 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,440 Harry was reporting directly to Bobby Kennedy. 256 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:57,440 The United States in the summer and fall of 1963 had a great need to get more low leve... 257 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:05,440 One of the reasons the Bay of Pigs had failed was because we didn't have good intelligen... 258 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,440 Well, Bobby Kennedy was determined not to let that happen again. 259 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:18,440 So there was a general effort throughout the summer and fall of 1963 to get people into... 260 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:25,440 But these would be people who would go in legitimately, would be able to walk the... 261 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:31,440 They had to have ways of finding out what the man on the street thought about the coup, ... 262 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:41,440 And indeed there were many, many mysterious visits by young men in their early 20s to ... 263 00:35:42,440 --> 00:36:01,440 Oswald supposedly returned from a trip to Mexico City, a very enigmatic trip, in whi... 264 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,440 This again established his bona fides as a Castro partisan. 265 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:20,440 And I'm sure if it was actually Oswald, because there's a lot of evidence that it ... 266 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:31,440 And upon his return to Dallas, he was in essentially the same role that he had been... 267 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:46,440 And the final denouement, of course, was that this intelligence operation in which he wa... 268 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,440 They controlled him, and that's where he wound up in the Dallas School Book Building. 269 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:57,440 And he was simply, like he said in his own words, the Patsy. 270 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:14,440 Tom and Lamar's detailed study of recently declassified documents has revealed a secr... 271 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:23,440 Beginning in September of 1963, several agencies in the U.S. government, that Bobb... 272 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,440 They were worried about what would happen if Castro found out about the plan and... 273 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:36,440 And so Bobby was faced with a serious problem here. He had a plan that had a very good... 274 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:42,440 What if Castro found out about it? And what if Castro found out about it before it... 275 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:50,440 Not a military attack, but some sort of hit and run thing. What if he were, for exampl... 276 00:37:50,440 --> 00:38:02,440 And so Bobby had his advisors put together a series of contingency plans around this Cu... 277 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:16,440 People involved in them like Alexander Haig and Joseph Califano, who put together this... 278 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,440 We want to very carefully control the release of information about the evidence. 279 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:31,440 We want to control the evidence in a way that we can prevent inflammatory information fr... 280 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:39,440 that would cause Americans to demand an immediate invasion of Cuba that could lead... 281 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:48,440 There were very low level operatives and informants working for the CIA, whose prim... 282 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:56,440 And these people had been working with the Mafia for much longer than they had been... 283 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:13,440 Those people not only told the Mafia bosses like Traficante and Marcello about Project... 284 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:26,440 Dangling Oswald, the forces involved, I'm firmly convinced, were the same ones that... 285 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:34,440 And I'm talking about the combination or the alliance between the CIA and the Mafia to... 286 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:50,440 And I think that what happened at Dallas was simply that having the personnel and teams... 287 00:39:50,440 --> 00:40:00,440 And that's where it all came from, out of that whole collaboration between the mob a... 288 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:09,440 And I probably should add rogue elements of the CIA because I know that the director... 289 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:29,440 One of the more startling bits of evidence that Oswald was either a member of Project... 290 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:34,440 And he received a telephone call from Bobby Kennedy just a few hours after Jack was... 291 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:40,440 And Bobby's comment to him was, one of your guys did it. One of your guys just killed ... 292 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:52,440 And this clearly demonstrates that Bobby's first response was that he recognized eith... 293 00:40:52,440 --> 00:41:13,440 And this also shows us how and why the Cuba contingency plans were immediately invoked... 294 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:32,440 We know from sources who were actually working on Project Freedom that Robert... 295 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:46,440 Immediately after the autopsy, the body was then delivered into the care of then... 296 00:41:46,440 --> 00:42:11,440 It's very clear from all the conversations we've had with the people who were close t... 297 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:25,440 I am very convinced that the assassination of John F. Kennedy came from the collaboratio... 298 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:36,440 And I feel very strongly that that apparatus that was set up to assassinate Castro simp... 299 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:53,440 If the truth came out today about what really happened, it certainly would be a major... 300 00:42:53,440 --> 00:43:08,440 I think that people in this country should know how the government is able to cover u... 301 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:21,440 People that you trust betrayed you. The government that you trust, the officials t... 302 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:42,440 And for that I'm angry for all the Blakeys and Fords and God only knows whom, Posners... 303 00:43:42,440 --> 00:44:02,440 But when that hope is taken away and you reduce human being like me to the level of... 304 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:17,440 So this is, that's the reason that I'm here, because nobody has the right to play God o... 305 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:41,440 When the government engages in the truth finding process and in some way doesn't te... 306 00:44:41,440 --> 00:45:04,440 I think it is terrible just to know that a nation can have within its own government... 307 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:15,440 A nation is strong when it does things openly, courageously, and according to the...
