Assassinations

 

New: Former President Ford Admits CIA Compromised the Warren Commission's Probe of JFK Assassination by Don Fulsom (01/09/08).
In a foreword to a new edition of the Warren Commission Report, the late president states that the CIA destroyed or kept from investigators critical secrets connected to the assassination of President Kennedy.

The Attempted Assassination of George Wallace by Denise Noe. (09/14/03; updated 09/19/07)
Arthur Bremer tried to fill the void in his miserable life by taking the life of Gov. George Wallace in 1972. He failed on both counts.

Gerald Ford's Role in the JFK Assassination Cover-Up by Don Fulsom (11/11/06; updated 3/12/07).
Warren Commission member Congressman Gerald Ford pressed the panel to change its description of the bullet wound in President Kennedy's back and place it higher to make "the magic bullet" theory plausible, enabling the Warren Commission to conclude that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. Ford was J. Edgar Hoover's informant on the commission and did the FBI director's bidding to squelch the investigation from naming other assassins. When a Dallas County deputy constable heard shots coming from the nearby grassy knoll, he rushed there to find veteran CIA asset Bernard Barker, posing as a Secret Service agent. No Secret Service agents had been assigned to cover the grassy knoll and all accompanied President Kennedy to the hospital.

Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of President Kennedy by Don Fulsom (10/16/06).
 New Orleans godfather Carlos Marcello – with Jimmy Hoffa as his bagman – funded Richard Nixon's 1960 presidential bid with $500,000 in cash stuffed in a suitcase. Later Marcello – known as the Big Daddy of the Big Easy – would be named a key conspirator in President Kennedy's assassination.

Why Jack Ruby Killed Lee Harvey Oswald by Mel Ayton. (11/25/05)
Contrary to the claims of conspiracy writers, Jack Ruby died telling the truth. There is no credible evidence he was part of a conspiracy. Ruby murdered Oswald for personal reasons – he wanted to show that ''Jews had guts''; he felt emotionally distraught about the Kennedys, and he wanted to fulfil his life long dream of becoming a real hero.

Part II: Why Sirhan Sirhan Assassinated Robert Kennedy by Mel Ayton. (09/06/05)
From the beginning, both Sirhan's lawyers and the U.S. media sought to portray the assassination of Robert Kennedy as the act of a deranged individual bent on seeking fame and notoriety. But Sirhan was a political assassin. He murdered Kennedy to advance the cause of the Palestinians.

The "Assassination" of Marilyn Monroe by Mel Ayton. (07/24/05)
Since Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, an unabated stream of books, articles and documentaries have attempted to link her death to then U.S. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy -- despite the complete lack of any credible evidence.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination: What Really Happened? by Mel Ayton. (06/12/05)
Obfuscation, manipulation, lies, greed, and distortion of the facts have characterized this case, allowing James Earl Ray to escape full blame. The truth of the matter is that Ray murdered King and he acted alone when he shot him. One or both of Ray's brothers -- before and/or after the fact -- may have aided him.

The Robert Kennedy Assassination: Unraveling the Conspiracy Theories by Mel Ayton. (05/08/05)
A majority of U.S. citizens continue to believe that Robert Kennedy's assassination was part of a larger conspiracy. The fact is that Sirhan Sirhan acted alone.

Sirhan Sirhan: Assassin of Modern U.S. History by Denise Noe. (05/27/04)
Sirhan Sirhan assassinated Robert Kennedy on the first anniversary of the Six-Day War "willfully, premeditatively, with 20 years of malice aforethought." He also assassinated modern U.S. history.


Richard Nixon’s Greatest Cover-Up: His Ties to the Assassination of President Kennedy by Don Fulsom. (10/15/03)
Nixon’s ties to the assassination of President Kennedy run deep, from his association with Jack Ruby, his ties to Jimmy Hoffa and the Mafia, and his connection to CIA operative E. Howard Hunt. On a tape recorded in Nixon’s White House office in 1972 he told two top aides that the Warren Commission Report pulled off "the greatest hoax that has ever been perpetuated." No one knew that better than he did.

Part Two: The Mysterious Death of CIA Scientist Frank Olson by H. P. Albarelli Jr. (05/19/03)
In 1996, Manhattan D.A. Robert Morgenthau opened a new investigation into CIA Scientist Frank Olson's 1953 "suicide," assigning the case to a special Cold Case Unit staffed by two veteran prosecutors. Details about the activities and findings of that ongoing inquiry have never before been revealed. Investigative journalist and writer H.P. Albarelli Jr. conducted his own seven-year examination into Olson's death. In Part Two, he reports his findings about one of the U.S. government's greatest conspiracies and unsolved mysteries.

Part One: The Mysterious Death of CIA Scientist Frank Olson by H. P. Albarelli Jr. (12/14/02)
When CIA Scientist Frank Olson plunged to his death from the 10th floor of a New York hotel in 1953, his death was ruled a suicide. Twenty-two years later a special Presidential Commission investigating the CIA's development of potent drugs for use in biological warfare and assassinations revealed shocking new details about Olson’s death. In 1996 Manhattan D.A. Robert Morgenthau opened a new investigation into Olson’s death based on startling discoveries uncovered by forensic sleuth James Starrs that put to lie the CIA’s version of how Olson died. (12/14/02)

Assassinations and Attempts in U.S.: A compilation of presidents, other U.S. officials and notables since 1865 who were targets of assassination plots.

Who Killed Martin Luther King examines some of the more recent theories of the crime, including allegations that there was a St. Louis conspiracy.

James Earl Ray is from the viewpoint of a man who served time with Ray in prison, then went on to become a journalist, and continued to follow the case, with some emphasis on Ray's mentality, how he escaped from prison, and why there is reason to believe white supremacists may have been behind King's murder.
