From the March-April 1999 issue (Vol. 6 No. 3) |
Our last issue's article on JFK's policy in the Congo received some very good comments from several of our readers. In that article we studied Kennedy's overt political policy in the Congo, how it differed from Eisenhower's and how it grew out of his early studies of Third World imperialism firsthand. In this issue, Lisa Pease continues our focus on the former Belgian colony. This time around, we study the covert action plots of the CIA in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba and the probable murder of Dag Hammarskjold. Lisa uses two sets of startling new documents in this piece.
Elsewhere, Milicent Cranor continues her compelling study of the incredible new medical evidence garnered by Jeremy Gunn's inquiry while with the ARRB. As Milicent shows, this supposed bastion of the official story has now become a pile of Swiss cheese. No one can now say that it supports any official story much less the Warren Commission's. In other ARRB news, we chronicle the rather outrageous efforts of the Zapruder family to both have their cake and eat it too. That is, the government has proposed a multimillion dollar deal with their attorney, Bob Bennett, and yet this king's ransom does not include the forfeiture of the copyright to the film! Shocking, even for Washington. We try to show what the possible reasons for this could be. Elsewhere on the JFK front, Raymond Gallagher explores the mystery of how Jack Ruby made it so easily and conveniently into the basement of the Dallas jail with such exquisite timing. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
On the MLK front, we feature two stories. Mike Vinson dissects Gerald Posner's awful opus on the King case by showing the errors in the book and also showing what was deliberately left out. Jim Douglass presents an article based on interviews with former FBI agent Don Wilson. This one discusses some of the new evidence now under study in the Justice Department investigation into the King case.
Finally, we include two obituaries, one about an archenemy of the truth and one who did what she could to further it. David Belin was one of the most vociferous backers of the Warren Commission fairy tale. We try to explain why with some new knowledge gleaned from the obituaries about his death. Pearl Gladstone was just the opposite: a woman who loved and worshipped the truth at any cost. To anyone who knew her, her passing means a real loss for her family, her friends, and our cause. Rest in peace.
