CITY OF HATE

I still remember that hot Dallas day in August of 1965 when my family drove on the Stemmons Freeway past the Texas School Book Depository Building. I was startled by how dark red it was. We had only seen it on a black and white television while living in Houston. “There it is, Dad,” I exclaimed. I felt equal measures of thrill and repulsion as I stared at it in awe. But now, since we were moving to Dallas, I could visit it frequently and examine the crime scene for myself. I did just that many times in the some nineteen years that I called Dallas my home.

The atmosphere of my new neighborhood in North Dallas was icy and at that time many young Americans were now heading to Vietnam purportedly to free a people strapped by the incursions of communism. A brittle, intolerant attitude persisted in Dallas, as she tried to shake the stain of recent events. People from around the country and the world were condemning Dallas as ‘The City of Hate’, a shadow that Dallas is still trying dodge. A humble reporter from the Midlothian Mirror, Penn Jones, Jr., began to knock on the doors of living witnesses and published his findings. Startling revelations were suddenly revealed. Gradually, dissent against the war began to solidify, as people realized our mission in Vietnam was questionable. In the same breath, a small coterie of brave individuals began to vocalize their doubts about the conclusions of the Warren Commission.

I am very incensed by the recent zeitgeist that has emerged regarding conclusions of the JFK assassination. This in a nutshell is that Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone in order to secure a place in history for himself. In order to make this model fit, these new Pro-Warren Report Constructionists have to omit, yes white-out, many, many bits of information. These facts have to be completely cut-out to make it fit! People, please review part II of The Men Who Killed Kennedy. Lee Bowers, a railyard worker, saw much activity behind the picket-fence before, during, and after the shooting. Couple this with the testimony of Ed Hoffman and Gordon Arnold, along with the pristine Mary Moorman photo, and thus you can piecemeal a convincing mosaic of intrigue and high-level conspiracy.

The new and last (lost) episode of The Men Who Killed Kennedy implicates LBJ. This was shown once on The History Channel quite a few years ago, and I fortunately got to see it. It was then pulled and buried and never heard from again. In the special, it was told of a meeting at the house of big oil man, Clint Murchison, where both LBJ and Richard Nixon were present. I will try to get my hands on this installment, and also research why it is that it was suddenly suppressed.

For me, fragments of evidence are consummate refutations for the single assassin theory. Ruby`s rub with organized crime is obviously one. And how did he get into the Dallas police basement just moments before he shot Oswald? He didn`t get in from the Main Street ramp, as the Warren Commission alleges! Oswald was obviously connected to U.S. intelligence. Just study on this. How could the pristine bullet have been so unscathed? Why did Seth Kantor see Jack Ruby at Parkland Hospital? Why was Ruby stalking Oswald on Friday and Saturday? Why hasn`t the Nix film been studied enough? Why is a new cover-up in place in the waning days of the troubled Bush Era?
