FTR#‘s 1415, 1416 & 1417: Interviews 1, 2 & 3 with Ed Haslam and Dr.‘s Alan Cantwell, Len Horowitz and Garth Nicolson

Intro­duc­tion: Thir­ty years ago, Mr. Emory brought togeth­er researchers whose work set the pace for inquiries into the ori­gins of AIDS as well as Gulf War Syn­drome.

That land­mark broad­cast brings togeth­er four indi­vid­u­als with exper­tise bear­ing on the pos­si­bil­i­ty that AIDS and oth­er dis­eases may have been cre­at­ed in lab­o­ra­to­ries, rather than by nature.

Dr. Horowitz (author of Emerg­ing Virus­es: AIDS and Ebola—Nature, Acci­dent or Inten­tion­al, hard­cov­er, Tetra­he­dron, copy­right 1996) traces the prob­a­ble ori­gins of AIDS and Ebo­la to: a 10 mil­lion-dol­lar Pen­ta­gon project aimed at cre­at­ing dis­eases to destroy the human immune sys­tem; Richard Nixon’s “war on can­cer;” Lit­ton Bio­net­ics; the Nation­al Can­cer Insti­tute’s Spe­cial Virus Can­cer Research Pro­gram; the Mer­ck, Sharp and Dohme com­pa­ny and the cre­ation, test­ing and mar­ket­ing of vac­cines.

Dr. Cantwell (the author of numer­ous books includ­ing AIDS and The Doc­tors of Death, Aries Ris­ing Press, copy­right 1989) has devel­oped infor­ma­tion that dove­tails with Dr. Horow­itz’s research and focus­es on can­cer research and the test­ing of the exper­i­men­tal hepati­tis B vac­cine (pro­duced by Mer­ck, Sharp and Dohme) on gays in New York City.

Ed Haslam (author of Mary, Fer­rie and the Mon­key Virus: The Sto­ry of An Under­ground Med­ical Lab­o­ra­to­ry, Wordsworth Press, copy­right 1995) ana­lyzes the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the polio vac­cine with SV-40, a can­cer-caus­ing mon­key virus and dis­cuss­es the pos­si­bil­i­ty that this con­t­a­m­i­na­tion led to a soft-tis­sue can­cer epi­dem­ic cur­rent­ly sweep­ing the Unit­ed States. In addi­tion, Haslam presents the pos­si­bil­i­ty that AIDS may have result­ed (acci­den­tal­ly or delib­er­ate­ly) from this con­t­a­m­i­na­tion and research into pos­si­ble ways of neu­tral­iz­ing the SV-40. Haslam con­nects this research to the milieu involved in Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion and the mur­der of Dr. Mary Sher­man, a pio­neer in Amer­i­can can­cer research. Ed also notes Richard Nixon’s actions as Vice-Pres­i­dent, many of which fore­shad­owed his launch­ing of “The War On Cancer”–an appar­ent cov­er for bio­log­i­cal war­fare.

The con­clud­ing sec­tion of the pro­gram fea­tures Dr. Garth Nicol­son, who (along with his wife Dr. Nan­cy Nicol­son) has done research into a genet­i­cal­ly-altered micro-organ­ism, which appears to be caus­ing some of the ill­ness known as “Gulf War Syn­drome.” This organ­ism (called a mycoplas­ma), fea­tures the addi­tion of a gene from HIV, ren­der­ing it much more path­o­gen­ic. The broad­cast also cov­ers the fright­en­ing fact that ongo­ing U.S. vac­cine pro­duc­tion and admin­is­tra­tion is shroud­ed in secre­cy by the Food and Drug Admin­is­tra­tion. In addi­tion, many vac­cines cur­rent­ly being admin­is­tered are heav­i­ly con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed with virus­es and viral par­ti­cles, which may very well be caus­ing a vari­ety of dis­eases. Mr. Emory con­sid­ers this pro­gram to be one of the most impor­tant he has pro­duced in his almost two decades on the air.

Mr. Emory’s Latest Patreon Talks: Further Discussion of Kirk Killing and Brilliant Analysis by Ex-CIA Analyst Larry Johnson

Kirk’s killing was long in the mak­ing, with his secu­ri­ty deeply com­pro­mised and the fram­ing of “Lee Har­vey” Robin­son dis­tract­ing from accu­rate analy­sis. Tren de Aragua may well have been con­jured up by CIA to jus­ti­fy regime change in Venezuela. Regime change in Iran and Venezuela actu­al­ly aimed at strength­en­ing the Petro-Dol­lar and U. S. glob­al eco­nom­ic hege­mo­ny.

Intro­duc­tion: These pro­grams con­tin­ue pre­sen­ta­tion the legal con­cept of “Choke­holds” on the JFK assassination–dynamics that prove, legal­ly, that there was a con­spir­a­cy.

FTR#1271 Interview #10 with Jim DiEugenio about “JFK Revisited”

This broad­cast con­tin­ues our vis­its with Jim DiEugenio–author of Des­tiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited–selected by Oliv­er Stone to write the screen­play for his lat­est doc­u­men­tary.

Jim begins by relat­ing Oliv­er Stone’s address to the Cannes Film Fes­ti­val, fol­low­ing the screen­ing of JFK Revis­it­ed.

Not­ing the evi­den­tiary archives assem­bled and cre­den­tialed by the ARRB, he not­ed that “con­spir­a­cy the­o­ry” has become “con­spir­a­cy fact.”

Record­ed on Vet­er­ans’ Day of 2022, we not­ed Oliv­er Stone’s own ser­vice as a dec­o­rat­ed com­bat infantry­man in Viet­nam, and recapped how JFK was with­draw­ing the U.S. from Viet­nam when he was killed.

As we tran­si­tion into analy­sis of the bal­lis­tic and medical/forensic evi­dence, a telling quote frames the dis­cus­sion of CE399 (the “Mag­ic Bul­let”) and the sit­u­a­tion in Park­land Hos­pi­tal on 11/22/1963:

JFK Revis­it­ed: Through the Look­ing Glass by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Sky­horse Pub­lish­ing [HC]; Copy­right 2022 by Jim DiEu­ge­nio; Intro­duc­tion Copy­right 2022 by Oliv­er Stone; ISBN 978–1‑5107–7287‑8; p. 225.;

. . . . [Josi­ah] Thomp­son gave an impor­tant speech at the 2003 Duquesne Uni­ver­si­ty JFK Assas­si­na­tion Con­fer­ence. He revealed that, in a 1993 inter­view, O.P. Wright’s widow—who also worked at Park­land Hospital—said that more than one nurse had approached her I the twen­ty-four hours after the assas­si­na­tion because they had found bul­lets on gur­neys. . . .


FTR#1270 Interview #9 with Jim DiEugenio about JFK Revisited

Noth­ing is more impor­tant in the JFK inves­ti­ga­tion than the role of the media, the ele­ment we rely upon for our infor­ma­tion. That dis­til­late pro­vides us with our basis for mak­ing intel­li­gent, mea­sured deci­sions.

In our long series of inter­views with Mr. DiEu­ge­nio about his book Des­tiny Betrayed, we not­ed that the media have func­tioned close­ly with the intel­li­gence ser­vices and oth­er fed­er­al agen­cies to active­ly cov­er-up the truth.

The pro­gram begins with Jim’s review of the medi­a’s role in the Gar­ri­son case.

Next, we syn­op­size the role of media vis a vis the War­ren Report, includ­ing: Major net­works and MSM print voic­es (NYT, WaPo) endorse report, despite the fact that the 26 vol­umes of tes­ti­mo­ny and exhibits had yet to be released; War­ren Com­mis­sion­er John J. McCloy’s CBS inter­view where he doesn’t answer Wal­ter Cronkite’s query, nor does he men­tion that his daugh­ter Ellen heav­i­ly liaised with net­work man­age­ment on the pro­gram; Alec Baldwin’s expe­ri­ence with NBC, who wouldn’t let him book guests crit­i­cal of the War­ren Report and is told that NBC’s stance is to sup­port the offi­cial ver­sion of the assas­si­na­tion (Tom Brokaw—“No Gar­ri­son”); Back­ground on the Sarnoff fam­i­ly’s intel­li­gence con­nec­tions.

We then syn­op­size Life Mag­a­zine’s role in the cov­er-up, includ­ing: Though not dis­cussed in JFK Revis­it­ed, it was Life that pur­chased Zaprud­er film and then re-arranged the still frames in its issue sup­port­ing War­ren Report; Hen­ry Luce’s role as enabler of the Pow­ers That Be (his idol, BTW, was Mus­soli­ni); C.D. Jackson’s role with Life—though not dis­cussed in film, he was a life­long intel/national secu­ri­ty play­er; Life’s pub­li­ca­tion of the cov­er pho­to of “Oswald” hold­ing the rifle and pis­tol he sup­pos­ed­ly used in the killings; Oswald’s wed­ding ring on dif­fer­ent fin­gers of  “Oswald’s” hand. 

Next, we high­light key aspects of the rifle alleged­ly used by Oswald, includ­ing: The salient fact that in Texas (at that point in time) any­one could pur­chase a rifle over the counter with­out doc­u­men­ta­tion; Why would any­one plan­ning a polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion pur­chase a mail-order rifle?; Dif­fer­ent bar­rel lengths of  “Oswald’s” rifle in var­i­ous pre­sen­ta­tions; dif­fer­ent mount­ings of sling on “Oswald’s” rifle in var­i­ous pre­sen­ta­tions; The fact that mail order box wasn’t in Oswald’s name, so he couldn’t have received the weapon; the dis­parate time frames involved in send­ing the weapon through the mail. 

We con­clude with dis­cus­sion of the rifle and foren­sics vis a vis its present on 6th floor “sniper’s perch,” includ­ing: The remark­ably neat place­ment of the spent car­tridges in the “sniper’s nest;” Reporter Tom Alyea’s dis­cus­sion of how the “sniper’s perch” looked pri­or to appar­ent inter­fer­ence.
