From the May-June 2000 issue (Vol. 7 No. 4) |
In this issue we complete our three-part coverage of last year's landmark trial which exposed the conspiracy in the Martin Luther King case. Author Jim Douglass takes our readers to Memphis and into the court room to give us what virtually no other media outlet did: a detailed synopsis of what really happened there and what compelled the jury to decree that Loyd Jowers had played a role in a wide conspiracy to murder Martin Luther King. But Douglass goes beyond the actual trial and he supplements his report with interviews he did with some of the witnesses and participants. To say the least, what went on there was riveting, and for once, the evidence for conspiracy was taken under rules of evidence and the jury ruled on it favorably. The verdict of history has been altered. The editors wish to thank both Douglass and Mike Vinson, last issue's reporter, for their valuable and singular contributions.
We are also proud to print one of the most important pieces of work product that the Assassination Records Review Board filed. Douglas Horne worked as a staff member on that body from nearly the beginning. He took a strong interest in the medical evidence. This culminated in a 32-page memo advancing the thesis that there were actually two post-mortem examinations of President Kennedy's brain. Horne goes on to reason that this second examination was of a separate brain than the first. Further, that the photos at the National Archives, shown to the House Select Committee of Assassinations and accepted by them as genuine, cannot be of the real damaged brain of President Kennedy. Pay close attention to the words of John Stringer.
In other stories, author Bill Turner recalls his old friend Carl McNabb (alias Jim Rose) and some of his work on both the JFK and RFK cases. Milicent Cranor minutely examines the famous Sibert-O'Neill report on JFK's autopsy and shows why it cannot be considered the Holy Grail of what happened at the Bethesda autopsy. (In this report, note the startling testimony of Robert Knudsen.)
Finally, Arlene Tyner continues her fascinating study of the CIA's mind control experiments, which, in this case, touch on the John Kennedy case. Is Dr. West the reason for the erratic behavior of Jack Ruby in his very last years?
