Part 15, PACIFICA RADIO Investigates the Murder of President Kennedy
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DAVID LIFTON:
"Behind the Scenes", basically, is my attempt to bring this to the
House Select Committee on Assassinations and the way I was basically 
laughed at. And Professor Blakey said that he took it very seriously.
In a two-hour phone conversation, he said that he was really going 
to look into it. But then we learned later that he got one of the 
FBI agents, Seibert, to file an affidavit saying that he was 
mistaken about the surgery [to the President's head that was first 
noticed at Bethesda], but he only publishes SIX WORDS of the 
affidavit -- which is absurd -- and he locks up the rest for fifty 
years. And I think that situation is now going to change, if this 
legislation goes through. Then we'll see what Seibert REALLY said.
And I KNOW, from speaking to that agent, that he said he stands 
behind his statement. And the FBI documents indicate that he did.
So I don't know what the full sentences were that he wrote, but I
charge Blakey with manipulation of this situation, you know. 
I mean, he did not let this hypothesis .... He DID NOT investigate 
this properly. There should have been public hearings on this matter.
This is the most SERIOUS matter raised.

Okay, what else?  You asked me about the "clandestine intermission."
The "clandestine intermission" is one of the most complicated parts
of my book. And it's hard to do on the radio without a chart. Okay?
But, having said that, let me just say that I try to explain, in my
book, my personal analysis of how you can have multiple coffins
arriving at the room within the same, let's say, forty-minute time
frame, and not have everybody saying, "There are two caskets here.
What's going on."  And, basically, it involved the fact that one
group of people were told to leave the room and sequestered in
another room for awhile for the taking of X-rays.

And this is in the FBI report. I explain what that means. I put it
on a time-line and show how this works. Nevertheless, the fact that
some people were sequestered (most of them were) does not mean that
nobody knows that there are two coffins. And there are two instances
where people are aware of the fact that there are two caskets.
And what had happened in those two instances was that one was told
that it was a security measure, okay? -- that they needed two
caskets for security. This matches what the casket team was told:
that they had been following a "decoy" ambulance.  Well I'd like to
see a memo to the file in the Justice Department [reading]:

  "By the way, Attorney-General Robert Kennedy, when your brother's 
   body was brought back here, if you hear reports that it was in 
   another casket, don't worry. We were using a decoy ambulance."

I mean, certainly, he and his sister-in-law Jacqueline Kennedy did
not know any such thing!  And this kind of thing is nonsense.
So I'd like to see someone produce a document about that, if it was
so legitimate -- an official "decoy". 

That's number one.

But secondly, another guy was told -- and he was Jenkins -- that the
body in the second coffin was that of an Air Force colonel! Now this
"Air Force colonel" story, which apparently was only told to Jenkins
(I can find no other evidence for it), is false because Jenkins was
told -- according to what he told me in my 1979 interviews -- that
this was an Air Force colonel who was buried the next day at
Arlington National Cemetery.  I did very good investigative work on
this, and I have a letter with the letterhead of Arlington National
Cemetery (way back when I did my book) stating that there were no
burials. There were just no burials on Saturday, and certainly no
Air Force colonel was buried there.  So, I think I really batted
that one right out of the ball park. And I think it's just a cover
story. So some people became aware of two caskets and they were 
told a story. 

This sort of thing ought to be done under oath.  In fact, I have the
moment on camera. I didn't put this in my "BEST EVIDENCE" research
video which, in thirty-five minutes, sums up my findings. I didn't
put this part in, but I actually have film footage of James Jenkins
going through "the Air Force colonel" story, and then he has this
moment of truth. And it's a very cute kind of candid-camera moment
on my camera when he realizes that this story is just that: a story.
No one ever opens the coffin. No one ever says: "Look. Here's the
Air Force colonel's body."  It's just a story. 
That's my belief about it.

GARY NULL:
Okay.  One last thing: the X-rays and photographs.

DAVID LIFTON:
Well, that's very hard to do as one last thing. Again, we are
limited by the fact that we are on the radio, and you need to look
at things. Basically, I would say that the two most serious problems
with the X-rays and the photographs is the area in the back of
President Kennedy's head: the back of the head, according to both
the Dallas doctors -- who see the relatively small hole, about the
size of an apple or an egg -- and the Bethesda doctors who see this
much bigger hole, according to the dimensions on the autopsy chart
and the testimony.  When we enter the world of autopsy photographs,
it's like going into Alice in Wonderland. Suddenly, there is neither
a small hole nor a big hole. There is NO hole!  There is NO HOLE at
the back of the President's head! It appears intact. How did that
happen?  Are these photographic forgeries, or was there
reconstruction?  And we [see] have the President's body, but with
some section of the back of the head or the scalp pasted over.
Whatever it is -- however it was done -- the back of the President's
head looks pretty much uninjured, except for a small textbook-like
bullet entry on a drawing that was created by the House Select
Committee on Assassinations, based on these photographs.
So, the back of the head looks relatively intact. The wound is at
the top of the head, according to the photographs. And on the
X-rays, it's even at the front of the head, according to the 
lateral X-ray.

So what do you do with this kind of evidence?  Well, common sense
tells us that the X-rays and the photographs CANNOT be [showing] the
condition of the President's body as it was in Dallas. They are not
even showing the condition of the body as it was in Bethesda. 
How did this stuff get created? Is it reconstructions? If so, what
was the time frame?  When did they do it?  Or, is it photo forgery?

And those are the two hypotheses. In my book, I have gone down the
path of reconstruction. But however it was done, I believe that it
was falsified.  The question is: Can you prove it? And I take the
word "prove" very seriously. If it could be proven, frankly, the
case is solved because then you'll have the people who phonied the
autopsy of President Kennedy.  If you could find the people who
phonied the diagram of the shooting -- which is what the autopsy is
-- I believe you have solved the Kennedy Assassination, 
in many respects.
                       (to be continued)

     If I can arm you with the disturbing truth that still underlies
     World events:  that the ruling elite killed President Kennedy
     also to kill the American People's hopes for freedom through a
     "government of the People, by the People and for the People";
     that the wheels which they set in motion thirty years ago on
     the streets of Dallas have been steadily and stealthily gaining
     momentum, rolling over the Constitutionality and the prosperity
     of our American society, until we are just now able to discern
     the faint outline of a totalitarian spectre, which the ruling
     elite has long since been preparing to impose upon us, at the
     horizon of the looming twenty-first century ....
     If I can arm you with the harrowing truth that you and I will
     sweat and bleed not nearly as much under their yoke of serfdom
     as will our little children and our future grandchildren ....
     If I can assist you in these realizations, then my efforts will
     have been partially successful.

     As I see it, the best way that you and I can harvest the
     seeds of realization that are being planted here is for
     each of us to join together to combine our individual
     strengths into one huge arm powerful enough to wield
     the awesome sword of the law, forged in Constitutionality, 
     against the totalitarian forces who are subverting our 
     Government and gradually herding us all into subjugation.    
     And so I urge you to contact either one of two legal institutes
     that I know of having the courage, the resolve and the respect 
     for justice necessary to serve as that sword of legality:
