“Based on everything I have seen, Hunt doesn’t have a leg to stand on because the deeper he gets into this the more he runs the risk of exposing himself. We had just all kinds of material on Hunt. We had a deposition from Joe Trento saying, yes, he saw the internal CIA memo. We produced one witness indeposition, Marita Lorenz, who was Castro’s lover at one point, and she said that Hunt was taking her people and running guns into Dallas. Lorenz said that a couple of days before the assassination Hunt met them in Dallas and made a payoff. What they were all doing, whether it was connected to the assassination, we don’t know.

“I think if Hunt keeps pursuing this, all he’s doing is setting the stage for more and more people to come forward and say bad things about him, and raise more evidence that he was in Dallas that day and that he must have been involved in something. If it wasn’t the assassination it must have been some kind of diversionary activity or maybe it was something unrelated to the assassination and the wires got crossed and it was a coincidence at the time.” — Victor Marchetti, “Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out,” Full Disclosure (My emphasis.)

In 1966 I worked at Glen Towers near Beverly Hills where Mafia Don, John Roselli, lived. One night in a discussion of the government he said, “Who’s really stupid is the CIA. They’re so stupid they killed their own President — trying to get some bookie!”

“Oswald was now in the most dangerous of two worlds. He was acting out pantomimes under the command of a violently pro-Castro cabal dominated by autonomous intelligence operatives and Mob elements…” — William Turner

John Connelly as into race horses — was he the “bookie”?

Decadent Worker 49“(New York Times, Moscow) The new U.S. Embassy must undergo a major reconstruction because it is riddled with bugging devices so sophisticated that American intelligence agents do not fully understand them, the American assigned to investigate the problem said Monday.

“The investigator, James Schlesinger, a former CIA director and secretary of defense, said the Soviet bugging devices represented ‘a higher plateau of technology’ than the United States had seen. He indicated that Soviet intelligence services are ahead of the United States in this area…

In Operation Mind Control Walter Bowart indicates that the low-level microwaves with which the Russians have been accused in the past of bombarding the Moscow U.S. Embassy were not intended to produce cancer, as was charged, but were thought control carrier waves. There was no way the U.S. could have named the true purpose of the Russian microwaves, in Bowart’s opinion, without revealing elaborate C.I.A. involvement in mind control.

If, in fact, the Russians are ahead of the U.S. in spying devices or their application, think how far ahead of both the Japanese and the Germans might be.

Since 1979 I have known for a fact that not only was I electronically bugged for audio, as discovered in 1977, but that — somehow — there was also a video component involved! When I told Wendy Marshall about this she decided I had lost my mind. I have, of course, been reluctant to speak of incredible things when my credibility is so important for exposing the genocide conspiracy. Yet there is no possibility I am imagining things; when I am alone and draw a symbol in the dust beside the road and then erase it, THEY know what it was.

Until the other day, I had never heard of a photo-optic filament. I knew there were audio bugs the size of fly specks. Evidently there are t.v. cameras — photo-optic filaments — as thin as hairs.

At Georgia Tech they have developed something called a Remote Vital Signs Monitor. From a distance of up to thirty feet it can measure someone’s pulse, breathing, etc. For years — again, since 1979 — I have been telling people, much to their entertainment, that The Conspiracy can tell when I have an erection or when I am producing alpha waves in meditation.

“A scholar by his very nature is inclined to all sorts of intellectual and moral corruption, his main vice being the exaltation of his knowledge and his own intellect, and scorn for all the ignorant. Let him govern and he will become the most unbearable tyrant, for scholarly pride is repulsive, offensive, and more oppressive than any other kind. To be the slave of pedants — what a fate for mankind! Give them free reign and they will start performing the same experiments on human society that they now perform on rabbits, cats, and dogs.” — Michael Bakunin, Statism and Anarchy, 1873

“Government by science and men of science… cannot fail to be impotent, ridiculous, inhuman, cruel, oppressive, exploiting and pernicious.” — M. Bakunin, God And The State, 1871

“A fnord is a major premise which is overlooked.” (11/27/77 letter to Mohandas and Freda)

“On the election, our computer ‘FUCKUP2′ indicates my changes are 5-2…. The computer is not much, a $300 unit located in Fulton, Union County, Kentucky next to the U.P. office. Since the computer is named the ‘Final Universal Cybernetic Kinetic Unitary Programmer’ it is called as the square of the initials of the location.” (Ibid.)

“You want a good strong sisal fiber made rope, and it should be well waxed with wax from plant origin so the knot slips freely up and down the rope. The rope should be pre-stretched, using a sand bag of the same weight as the Commie Satanist to be disposed of… The knot is put behind the left ear of the customer, the object is not to strangle them, it is to snap the vertebrae at the base of the skull.” (Undated letter to Sally Ballard)

“Right you are, there is no need for putting on the government agents any more. The object of this was to keep the heat off yourself as an individual by hinting at the ‘organization’ behind the great revolutionary conspiracy. Then they did not ‘bust’ you, but kept you on surveillance in hopes of finding the top leaders…

“On the Jesuits, you may be right but the proviso to tell no lies may stumble them. They are so used to telling lies that it is a difficult habit for them to break. I do not trust them as potential co-workers for this reason.

“The political program of the Jesuits would turn the world into one big vast peaceful graveyard. They believe the basic nature of man to be evil and man must be kept under control. This is anathema to an anarchist, who believes the basic nature of many is good — which is true.” (Letter to Kerry, 5/5/’76)

“I did find out the working mechanics of the conspiracy. It comes from the prosecution of Elanore Hemstreet, who worked for the State of California and found two payroll checks to non-existent people were being cashed by a judge. She blew the whistle and the effect was the judge sentenced her to three days in jail for ‘contempt of court.’ She had a friend who was a legal clerk, Bill Lowery. Bill spent months trying to find out what was going on by checking out the legal library. He finally found out. Our legal system is founded on English Law circa 1608. This was a ruling by High Justice Lord Coke that the Crown and the Agents of the Crown were immune to prosectution for their crimes. This is used by judges who throw out iron clad cases brought by serfs against some big corporation. It is thrown out as ‘without merit’ by the judge. You can check on this easy enough and find out it is true. I wrote to the Blackstone College of Law in Chicago and got their brochure which bragged on the law being exactly the same in South Africa, Britain, India, Australia, etc. BRITANIA VAIVES THE RULES!” (9/27/’76 letter to Crabb)

“Pershing’s group identified a secret society in India as the moving force behind all the horseshit going on. Sure Brahamins. This outfit held the world in subjection for several thousand years and I guess they long for the ‘good old days.’…

“Those Feebies and such who spy on you figure to learn what is REALLY GOING ON! They gave me considerable attention so I pulled a Joe Valachi on them and spilled the beans. The trouble was that there were so many pots of beans of so many different flavors that they got their computers all fucked up. Thank God for the kids in Berkeley inventing a resurrection of the Bavarian Illuminati. It gave me another bullshit story to tell the government agents.

Decadent Worker 47Excerpts from “Jonestown: CIA, Assassinations, Drugs and Mind Control” by John Judge, Critique (Box 11451, Santa Rosa, CA 95406) Spring/Summer 1986, #12/22:

“It seemed the first reports were true, 400 had died, and 700 had fled to the jungle. The American authorities claimed to have searched for people who had escaped, but found no evidence of any in the surrounding area. At least a hundred Guyanese troops were among the first to arrive, and they were ordered to search the jungle for survivors. In the area, at the same time, British Black Watch troops were on ‘training exercises,’ nearly 600 of their best-trained commandos…

“A new word was coined by the media, ’suicide-murder.’ But which was it? Autopsies and forensic science are a developing art… Dr. Mootoo, the top Guyanese pathologist, was at Jonestown within hours after the massacre… While the American press screamed about the ‘Kool-Aid Suicides,’ Dr. Mootoo was reaching a much different opinion.

“There are certain signs that show types of poisons that lead to the end of life. Cyanide blocks the central nervous system… The facial muscles draw back into a deadly grin, called ‘cyanide rictus.’ All these telling signs were absent in the Jonestown dead. Limbs were limp and relaxed, and the few visible faces showed no sign of distortion.

“Instead, Dr. Mootoo found fresh needle marks at the back of the left shoulder blades of 70-80% of the victims. Others had been shot or strangled. One survivor reported that those who resisted were forced by armed guards. The gun that reportedly shot Jim Jones was lying nearly 200 feet from his body, not a likely suicide weapon. As Chief Medical Examiner, his testimony to the Guyanese grand jury investigating Jonestown led to their conclusion that all but three of the people were murdered by ‘persons unknown.’ Only two had committed suicide they said. Several pictures show gunshot wounds on the bodies as well.

“At the Jonestown site, survivors described a special group of Jones’ followers who were allowed to carry weapons and money, and to come and go from the camp. These people were all white, mostly males. They ate better and worked less than the others, and they served as an armed guard to enforce discipline, control labor and restrict movement. Among them were Jones’ top lieutenants, including George Phillip Blakey… This special guard survived the massacre… The dead were 90% women, and 80% Blacks. It is unlikely that men armed with guns and modern crossbows would give up control and willingly be injected with poisons. It is much more likely that they forced nearly 400 people to die by injection, and then assisted in the murder of 500 more who attempted to escape. One survivor clearly heard people cheering, 45 minutes after the massacre. Despite government claims, they are not accounted for, nor is their location known.

“George Blakey, who married Debbie Layton, was from a wealthy British family. He donated $60,000 to pay the leas on the 27,000-acre Guyana site in 1974. Lisa Phillips Layton had come to the U.S. from a rich Hamburg banking family in Germany. Most of the top lieutenants around Jones were from wealthy, educated backgrounds, many with connections to the military or intelligence agencies.”

Decadent Worker 46“And this is the irony, and the tragedy, of the postwar years: that while, from his own point of view, Reich’s development seemed totally rational and logical, the detached, and necessarily superficial, observer could only see increasing evidence of extravagance and disintegration… His ’scientific’ discoveries became ever more preposterous — the orgone accumulator, the cloudbuster, even a motor that was supposed to work off orgone energy. (Many Reichians claim to have seen the motor operating: the driving force was an orgone accumulator, excited by a half-volt battery; it drove a twenty-five-volt motor.)

“And then, in what seemed like an irrevocable step into sherer insanity, Reich suddenly decided that the human race, and himself in particular, were being observed by beings from outer space in flying saucers…

“Reich had paid no attention to all the publicity about flying saucers, even when, in 1952, some visitors to Orgonon reported seeing shining objects in the sky… But after reading Major Donald Keyhoe’s Flying Saucers Are Real, Reich remembered the visitors who had reported shining objects the previous year… What intrigued him was that Keyhoe said that UFOs were often surrounded by a bluish light, and moved noiselessly. To Reich, this immediately suggested orgone energy.” (pp. 214-5-6)

“Temperamentally, my sympathies are with Gardner and Cattier — Reich seems to be a thoroughly dislikable human being. Moreover, I agree with the critics that it was not Reich’s ideas, but his paranoiac behavor, that landed him in jail. Colleagues in the Vienna group had already noted his paranoid tendencies when he was in his twenties. It was Reich’s combination of aggression, ambition, and craving for success that led to most of the rebuffs he received. It seems to me that it was this eagerness for recognition that thwarted the natural expression of his genius. By the mid-1930s, the sense of rejection had turned him into a man with a huge chip on his shoulder, and it was this, rather than his revolutionary ideas, that caused his endless personal problems.

“I must also admit to a thoroughgoing dislike of the Communist aspect of Reich’s personality. I am not now speaking of his ‘Communist phase,’… but of that tendency in him that made him seem, for a time, such an admirable recruit to Communism: a kind of intellectual thuggery, an ability to treat complex issues with a crude and unrepetent reductionism…

“Then why write a book about someone I find it so hard to like? First, because there is a kind of horrifying fascination in watching a man of Reich’s immense vitality make a series of wrong choices that bring him to disaster. But second, and more important, because I find it impossible to agree with critics who feel that he went off the rails after the discovery of the orgone. Anyone who takes the trouble to follow Reich’s development in detail quickly realizes that these critics were not in full possession of the facts. There was no sudden insane conversion to the idea of orgone energy; Reich made the discovery slowly and logically, step-by-step, in the most approved scientific manner.” — Colin Wilson, The Quest for Wilhelm Reich: A Critical Biography (pp. 233-4)

Decadent Worker 45“Such viewpoints, coming from the most respected ‘experts,’ indicate all too clearly that developing nations, short of acting by themselves, have nothing but indifference and genocide to expect from most of the accredited, established institutional forces of the so-called ‘North.’

“At present, three positions can roughly be distinguished within the ‘North’… Each of these corresponds to a different tactical posture, with different time-phases and target-populations, but thoroughly identical in content and intent. The ‘Kill-them-All’ posture of the Mont Pelerin Society, the fanatics of monetarism, is the ‘right-wing’ posture. On the left is the British-Fabian (and Andropov-supported) parody of the new world economic order identified with the Brandt and Palme commissions. And, in case all the tactical maneuverings do not succeed, there is the faction that advocates a deliberate crash. This faction is directly identified with the oldest Venetian family fortunes and intelligence networks.

“The standard-bearer for the Mont Pelerin Society is its founder, the aging but eternally hysterical Friedrich von Hayek, an Austrian nobleman turned British subject who is both a member of the Fabian Society and the grandaddy of all monetarism. He presents his views:

‘I don’t know to what extent the big banking institutions of the West can outlive a collapse of their debtors in the underdeveloped world… We should do nothing, nothing, nothing… (The Third World Nations) will have to crash. We’ll have to realize that at the best we may save the West… If you try to prevent the collapse, you are certain to be driven deeper into the mess… We must return to freedom. Chile very nearly did it. It’s a curious thing. Given what the term ‘anarchy’ means, it is dictorial countries that are prepared to withdraw from the control of the economy… My model is the Roman Empire in the 2nd century A.D.’…

“What more revealing expose could there be of the world-outlook of the rentiers, the coupon-clipping aristocrats living fatly on their estates in an immutably preserved pastoral countryside, while the rest of the world ekes out a living, with the proceeds being skimmed off to feed the lords! They want to eternally keep on clipping the coupons of the world, undisturbed by technology, science and — in their deranged minds, the worst — people!

“This is why they insist that resources are fixed — and block anything that increases resources — in order to be able to conclude that the ’struggle for life’ demands the elimination of more than two million people — which the Global 2000 Report they inspired specifically calls for!

“To measure how much worse these wildlife aristocrats are than Hitler and all the petty amateurs in crime that surrounded him, hear the ICUN’s Mike Cockerell say that the WCS document was too mild: ‘The World Conservation Strategy document missed out on population as an issue, quite deliberately, although it admitted that population is the cause of the problem.’” — Club of Life, International Bankers’ Real Agenda: Global Depopulation, February 1983

Decadent Worker 44“Goats Forever!” — Robert Anton Wilson, Werewolf Bridge (MS)

Brother-in-law’s private amusement seemed to increase.

“Kerry,” he said, groping for words, “there is a game where the people form a large circle and hold hands — and then they choose a person to be in the middle of that circle, called ‘the goat.’ Now, the object of this game, for the goat, is to break out of the circle. For all the other participants — the people who make up the circle — the object of the game is to keep the goat from breaking out, at their particular point in the circle.”

I sat there, annoyed at the change of subject.

“Getting back to that anarchist and the Ryder Coffee House,” I said, trying to hide my annoyance at Gary, “he’s got a lot of other weird ideas besides anarchy…” (p. 115) Dreadlock

“Oswald was overbearing and arrogant throughout much of the time between his arrest and his own death. He consistently refused to admit involvement in the assassination or in the killing of Patrolman Tippit.” — The Warren Report

One of the things he mentioned most often was the concept of the scapegoat, that it was originally termed escape goat and that it was derived from a tribal ritual mentioned in Leviticus. “The custom was to take two goats and to kill one of them and to sprinkle the altar with the blood, and then to take the other goat and bestow upon it the sins of the tribe. Then they let the scapegoat go, to wander in the wilderness.” (p. 56) Dreadlock

Somewhere in Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi with Curt Gentry (W.W. Norton & Company, 1974) there is, I seem to recall, a reference to some Process Church literature that says: “Hail to the Goat!”

In the early eighties in Riviera Beach, Florida, I told a man I met casually the story of the two goats. He said, “Isn’t the Tryall Club of Jamaica a tribal organization?”

Of course the Knights Templars were accused by the Church of goat worship: of the bizarre Baphomet, resembling the ancient European horned god of the hunt.

In my opinion Lee Oswald was ritually sacrificed, a sacrificial goat. In Leviticus Aaron appoints the goats, casting a lot. In the Discordian Society Slim Brooks chose as his name Aaron Immanuel Viking I, and his title: “Keeper of the Submarine Keys. (”I like that because it brings up two questions,” Slim said. “What submarine? And why is it locked?”)

I think I am the escape goat — ritually designated to wander in the wilderness of conspiracy politics with all the sins of a horrid secret society on my head. (You thought I thought I am a philosopher-king, huh?)

“Kerry, there are some tribal societies who take a man and subject him to an ordeal, and if he survives that ordeal they make him their king.” (p. 60) The Dreadlock Recollections (c) 1984 - Not, however, if you “expose the assassins” and don’t keep “state secrets” and are a Taoist Anarchist who won’t rule.

Decadent Worker 43SORRY, WRONG LEON

“There was no Castro involvement in the Kennedy killing to the best of my knowledge. If so, it was very indirect. That is, those who wished to curry favor with Castro might have got in it for this reason. This would be the Mafia. They want to get the gambling going again in Cuba. The Mafia gambling joints are in top shape and ready to go. They have caretakers and were undamaged during the ‘revolution.’” — Co-man Ra (9/15/76 letter to KWT)

My respect for Co-man Ra’s expertise on the JFK murder is related to his ability to furnish logical explanations for evidence which otherwise makes little sense. Take, for example, the Second Oswald cases. As one of the people suspected by Warren Report critics of impersonating Lee Oswald just prior to the assassination, I’ve thought more about this subject than many.

These impersonations were exceptionally crude or inept — therefore seeming hardly the work of professionals who could, on the other hand, insure that even the U.S. Government and media would cover up their crime. How would anyone smart enough to get Earl Warren to furnish them an alibi, so to speak, be stupid enough to try to incriminate Oswald before the fact with: individuals using his name who drove cars when Oswald could not drive; impersonators who were older and heavier than Oswald and, most puzzling, why did one of the two impersonators who actually looked something like Lee Oswald insist upon calling himself, instead, Leon Oswald?

Co-man Ra said the crude Oswald impersonations were the work of people within the conspiracy who wanted the truth to come out. For that to happen, the complacent and trusting American public had to be sensitized to the reality of conspiracies. In order to accomplish that, the framing of Oswald was botched by means of overproduction and deliberate ineptitude.

Within a few years of accepting this explanation, I came to realize that fake names are seldom selected among intelligence professionals randomly — especially when they are trying to expose operations in which they are involved. So the next question was: Who was Leon? Probably one of the higher-ups in the conspiracy.

Having by the early eighties gone through a number of convoluted experiences regarding JFK murder studies at the hands of nominal Marxists, among others, the notion of Communist involvement no longer seemed the manifest absurdity it once had. My reading of Murrow’s Betrayal and the Hugh McDonald books, Appointment in Dallas and LBJ and the JFK Conspiracy, lent weight to such a hypothesis. Among serious scholars of JFK’s death, these volumes are not reputable. In substance they are deemed bogus confessions. Among conspirators themselves the first is rumored to be the work of the Illuminati while the other two are said to represent David Rockefeller’s version. What I found convincing about them, notwithstanding, was how much they resembled in content my own assassination-connected experiences. There was present a ring of truth, a certain atmosphere I recognized, not to be found in the more abstract works. If they were disinformation jobs, it was still the disinformation of those who knew what they were talking about. Betrayal says JFK was killed to keep him from learning that Soviet missiles had never actually been removed from Cuba. Appointment and LBJ say the assassination was instigated by the KGM, more or less further implying the CIA found out about it beforehand and either assisted or did not oppose.

As for the Leon mystery, nowhere in my assassinationology readings was it solved. Leon Trotsky? “Oswald Armed for Murder” is shown holding two copies of The Militant, a Trot newspaper. Note as well that the shadow under his nose fails to jibe with the shadow of his body on the ground. When confronted by the police with this photo, Oswald said it was obviously his head pasted on somebody else’s body. So it is possible somebody was trying to imply that Oswald was working for Trotskyists, or they were trying to smear the Trots who, in any case, were high on J. Edgar Hoover’s shitlist.

Then, circa 1981, I read a book called The U-2 Affair with a footnote that seemed to settle the Leon question. As I was to write in the October 1984 issue of The New Libertarian: “At the time of the events in Dallas, the Russian ambassador to Cuba was Sergei N. Kudryavtaev — arrested in Canada many years earlier for participating in the spy ring that stole the secret of the atom bomb from the U.S. at which time he operated under the code name, ‘Leon.’”

This opinion I also previously expressed over the air on KPFA in Berkeley on Doug Wellman’s “SubGenius Hour Radio Show (More Than an Hour, Less Than a Show).”

Any suspicion that I might have fallen in with the assassinations to begin with because I was the fair-haired destiny’s tot of Nazi eugenic plots, was as yet, far from my mind. And while this Leon theory seemed to contradict Co-man Ra’s opinion, it certainly coincided with what Brother-in-law said to me about the desirability of the war against an Asian race instead of against Caucasian Cuban Castillians.

Now although Sam Konkin, who publishes The New Libertarian, is rather too much the anarcho-capitalist for my Bakuninistic tastes, we are friends — and he has never made any secret of his connections with the Institute for Historical Review, with many of whose personnel and ex-personnel Sam is on good and close terms.

One of the reasons I dislike Konkin’s (and Ayn Rand’s) Austrian Economics is that they are so Austrian — part and parcel with them, almost inevitably, come the Holocaust Revisionist Historians who, if they are not practitioners of Hitler’s Big Lie Technique, sincerely believe Hitler was framed for a Holocaust that never was.

Enter Leon Number Three via the Klaus Barbie trial: one of Barbie’s closest post-war associated, also a friend of Otto (Werewolf) Skorzeny, was Belgian nationalist Nazi, Leon Degrelle. Says Charles Higham in American Swastika (p. 291f): “Leon Degrelle is still at it. He appears on the pages of The Journal for Historical Review, published in Torrance, California,” by the above-mentioned Institute. I blush to say, “which states among other things that the Holocaust was an invention of the Jews.” — Kerry Wendell Thornley
