SECTION THREE
The Witness
It’s a frequent observation that it could not really be a conspiracy that killed JFK, “because someone would have talked.” They cite catchy sayings like: “Because three people can keep a secret—as long as two of them are dead.” That’s all very persuasive except for one very important fact: it simply isn’t true; people have talked.
Contrary to common perceptions, many important witnesses have come forward and have had a lot to say, too. It’s just usually drowned out in mainstream media, which would rather “engage our intellects” with nonsense than discuss the questions we ask of our government.
And by the way, that saying is actually: “Three can keep a secret if two are dead.” It was on the door on the way out of the office of Mafia Godfather Carlos Marcello.481 That’s the same Carlos Marcello who was reportedly involved in the JFK assassination and was one of the people who “talked” (even though supposedly no one has, according to the government).
Marcello talked to a mob lawyer, Frank Ragano, who eventually went public with it. Right after the assassination—gloating about it—he talked to that attorney, and it was about one of the guy’s own clients; he said: “When you see Jimmy [Hoffa], you tell him he owes me and he owes me big.”482 I have a hunch he wasn’t talking about lunch that day either.
You’ll find a lot of interesting things that people have said in this section. They’ve talked plenty . . . you just haven’t heard it from all the puppets in the press. So stop looking at their sleight-of-hand attention diversions (because that’s all they are) and pay attention to what some knowledgeable people have contributed to an intelligent appraisal of what really happened, often at great risk to themselves. In some cases, the “talk” came from FBI wiretaps and some other interesting sources, like that mob attorney. And almost all of it runs counter-current to what we’ve been told by our own government. But that seems to be a recurring pattern in this case, doesn’t it?
