This program is a continuation of our ongoing series titled:
"Hidden Agendas: Conspiracies, Cover-Ups and Lies"
at the highest levels of our Government, in regard to deceptions
foisted upon the American People regarding essential information
about the roles of Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald in the John F.
Kennedy Assassination. We have been led to believe that the Warren
Commission Report was the first and last word on this case.
Many individuals are challenging that. We have invited those
individuals to share with us insights, documentation and other
information, much of it being revealed here, for the first time,
to the American People.

Please excuse the poor broadcast quality today because I am not in
the studio. I'm not in New York. I'm about five thousand miles away
from New York, continuing to do investigations on this. I'm tracking
certain ballistic and forensic information, and I'm interviewing
people who, hitherto, have not been heard by the American People so
that I can bring you new information.

On our conference line right now are two individuals who have some
unique insights:  Jack Schweick[sp], who has written on Oswald,
especially about the Atsugi [Naval Air] Base in Japan. He was in
intelligence before being in the Marines. He has sued the CIA for
files. And we'll learn about the alleged fourty-four drawers of
files on Oswald and also [on] all the people on that base, and
what Lee Harvey Oswald was doing there.

Also, we have Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. Now Colonel Prouty is a
unique individual in this scheme of things. In the movie, JFK, it
was Donald Sutherland who portrayed the role of L. Fletcher Prouty
or some facsimile of his role. L. Fletcher Prouty was Chief of
Special Operations of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff, and he established
worldwide offices. He was a senior Air Force officer, Officer of
Special Operations in the Office of the Secretary of Defense in the
office headed by General G.B. Erskine with Edward Lansdale, CIA-to-
United States Air Force on staff. He was also the chief of Team B,
which was Special Operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force.
And that's very important in military terms. Special Operations was
the official function responsible for the military support of the
clandestine operations of the CIA.

Let's begin with L. Fletcher Prouty.
Welcome to our program, Mr. Prouty.

L. FLETCHER PROUTY:
Good morning, Gary.  Nice to be with you.

GARY NULL:
First off -- is it correct that there was some facsimile between
you and the character portrayed by Donald Sutherland in Oliver
Stone's film, JFK?

L. FLETCHER PROUTY:
Yes. Oliver Stone met with me in 1990 and asked me to be an advisor
to the film because he had read material that I had written, and he
had written a part into his film that he called "Mr. X". At the
time, I didn't know that. And I read the script when it first came
out in November 1990, and I found the "Mr. X" there and I recognized
myself and words I had written and things I had said. So, at a
speech at the National Press Club, in January 1992, Oliver Stone
turned to the audience and said: "Everybody asked me, `Is there a
real `Mr. X''."   Well, I was on the podium with him, and he turned
and pointed to me and said: "There's my `Mr. X'." And so, the secret
broke. And that's the story of it. It was pretty simple. He just
worked it into the film so that he would have an authoritative
voice for certain parts of the film, as you saw represented by
Donald Sutherland.

GARY NULL:
Alright. Let's go to the actual events, or at least those events
that you have some insight on so that we can get a handle on this.
We have already -- in the first eighteen parts of this special
investigation (twenty-five hours of broadcasting on this) -- laid out
various aspects of this puzzle. We have seen the role of Organized
Crime -- at least those individuals who, on FBI tapes, have made
statemtents, either true or false (at least they've made the actual
statements), that there was going to be a hit on the President,
either in Miami or later in Dallas. We also had extensive insights
about the CIA being "out of control", and about, even at that time,
special renegade elements within the CIA who were very much opposed
to President Kennedy's mishandling of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and
about the fact that, at a time when he could very easily have given
the support which would have caused the destruction of Castro's tiny
Air Force and ended what people in the military/industrial complex,
the Armed Forces, the general public, the Texas conservative element,
viewed as a substantial threat, he backed off. They found this
incomprehensible.

And, as a result, some feel that elements of that [the CIA] were
responsible for the assassination. But it couldn't have been done
without having members of the Secret Service, the FBI and the
Military participate because it was going to be, not only the
assassination itself, but they were fully aware that you don't go
out and kill the President of the United States unless you can
protect yourself. You have to know that you can protect yourself if
there is a special commission, if there is a special investigation.
So, bringing in people from different segments [of the Government]
at different levels would have been a job that only military
logistics experts could have pulled off. Organized Crime has never
been able to maintain. They don't have the intellectual dexterity,
they have too much braggadocio and they're too unreliable. But they
are capable of killing, and they do. And they are capable of being
used, in effect, as a front for various aspects [of Government
crime], as they had been in their anti-Castro efforts after the fall
of Cuba's Battista Government, which supported their corruption.
Since Castro didn't support them, they were losing many millions of
dollars. So they were conducting regular activities, we now know,
with the aid of the CIA and with the knowledge of the FBI.

     If you agree that this story deserves broad public attention,
     please help to disseminate it by posting it to computer
     bulletin boards, and by posting hardcopies in public places,
     both on and off campus.  As evidence accrues concerning the
     corporate mass media's thirty year cover-up of the corporate
     CIA's coup d'etat against the People of the United States,
     the need for citizen reportage becomes ever more striking.
