Retrospection on the Assassination

This 1992 book is very readable and contains many interesting essays that may educate you. Chapter 1 tells how HEL remembers the 1950s. The election of JFK made a difference due to the people; the times they were a-changing. Pages 43-4 tells of the "bureaucratic phenomenon" but doesn't ask if any clique or secret society is responsible. Chapter 2 tells of JFK's medical history. He quotes the curious comments of Dr. Humes on the adrenal glands (pp. 55-6). There would be no reason for covering up any Addison's disease. HEL suggests the use of cortisone by JFK affected his personality: euphoria, strength, endurance, warmth, and libido (p.59).Chapter 3 tells certain findings are conclusive: the back of the head is missing (p.71). If the photographs and X-rays don't show this, they are forgeries. Or from another body. HEL derides the theory that "the Mob killed Kennedy" on the grounds that they couldn't do a cover-up. But their controllers could! Chapter 5 discusses the events at Bethesda. The face in some of the autopsy photographs does not look like JFK, but of a younger man (p.135). Chapter 6 discusses the conflicts of the autopsy. This is one of the most important chapters in the book!Chapter 14 tells of the discussion for a 1991 documentary. "The large hole in the back of the head was an exit wound" (p.287). These witnesses insisted there was not entry wound in the back of the head (p.293). Chapter 16 quotes the House Committee report that the authenticity of the photographs was never established (p. 314-6). Chapter 19 discusses some other major political killings following the assassination of JFK. HEL notes that if George Wallace ran for President he would have taken enough votes from Nixon so McGovern would have won (p.403). Friends of this lone gunman soon died or disappeared (p.407). More potential witnesses were bumped off when the House Assassination Committee started in 1977 (p.414). Page 418 summarizes the bottom line of American political history.Chapter 20 summarizes the changes in America since the Nixon and Reagan reigns (p.422); it doesn't cover the 1990s. Page 458 claims the Schoolbook Depository rifle was not fired that day (from negative evidence)! Chapter 24 discusses JFK's "intent to withdraw from Vietnam", while the military sought to send in combat troops. That happened with the new President. Vietnam is important since it borders the oil-rich South China Sea; and Big Oil is the most powerful special interest in the country.Chapter 25 tells of Jim Garrison's investigation. "A secret investigation ... pointed in the direction of Hoffa, Marcello, some Texas oilmen, and a few involved with the CIA in the New Orleans and Dallas area" (p.511). But Garrison couldn't get a conviction of anyone. David Ferrie, and others, soon died (p.513). Pages 518-9 discuss the justice system: "too often a case can be rigged". Jim Garrison was the first official to question the Warren Report in the 1960s. Oliver Stones's "JFK" was based on Garrison

High Treason - The Great Cover Up

The book is marvellous and the truth is coming out about his murder. Oswald was a patsy, at that time the US and the public were obsessed with the Soviets, any mention of the word and all hell broke loose. It was convenient to say Oswald was a communist, he had bad eyesight, so how he ever shot the President from 5 storeys up in a moving car, with a rifle like that is beyond belief. People need to use their brains and realise an assassination of ANY US President and get away with it, the assassin has to be more powerful and have powerful friends. The person who ordered the murder of Kennedy will never come to justice. Assassinations have gone on for years, look at Abraham Lincoln, wouldn't it be uncanny if the person who ordered the death of Lincoln, another family member ordered the death of Kennedy. They say there have been similarities with the two Presidents.

Informative, Intriguing, An Important Book To Read.

"High Treason 2" is a great companion piece to "High Treason." Sure, there are some allegations in here that seem a little, too big to be true, but if you really look, you realize they probably are. This is a convincing study of the way politics really works. It dissects the perversions in our system and uncovers the shocking truth. I was surprised when I read about the amount of evidence that shows that Arthur Bremer might not be the only person to blame for the shooting of George Wallace. There is just too much in here that you cannot go against. I hope many people take the time to read this book. It crushes Gerald Posner's "Case Closed." "High Treason 2" is an important and informative book that shows the bitter truth about America's government and system of power and control.

Extremey important work

Livingstone interviews nearly everyone at the Bethesda Autopsy. Virtually each person's recollections do not coincide with the Official Story. There is no question after reading this book and viewing AUTOPSY PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THE BACK OF THE HEAD WAS MISSING, UNLIKE THE PICTURES, WHICH SHOW AN INTACT BACK OF THE HEAD. THERE ARE BIZARRE, MACABRE REVELATIONS, THAT COME FROM THE MEDICAL PERSONNEL. No need to theorize, Livingston lets the people talk for themselves.Mind Boggling
