I learned of an important book published by a French author about the subject, but the story behind the book is just as important as the words printed on its pages. This book is Farewell America. When I tried to get a copy of this book I figured that the easiest thing to do would to go through a bookseller and try to get the address of the publisher. I was surprised to learn that the publishing company never existed. I later learned that this "company" was nothing but a French intelligence front. Nowhere in the United States could I get a copy of this(although today a few copies are available from a used book store in Philadelphia). I had to contact a French used book store in Canada to get one. I learned that this book was published in French and German and distributed throughout Europe. Apparently it was a good seller as it received favorable reviews in the largest newspaper of France. In America it received not a mention. After the assassination of Robert Kennedy 10,000 copies were sent to Canada for distribution in the United States. There they waited as orders were processed. But, then the US government pressured the Canadian government to confiscate these books and destroy them. Thousands of copies were destroyed, but not all of them. Today there are probably about 2,000 left. By the time I read this book I had read many books and works on the assassinations and had come to my own personal conclusions. I was surprised when I read this book and it pretty much followed my conclusions and even went so far as to name some of the chief villains. such as Texas oil baron H.L. Hunt. I start by letting you read an article about the book and its author followed by excerpts taken right out of the book: Excerpts from an article in The Rebel(Feb 13, 1984) by Bill Turner "The Frenchman had called the day before, long distance, saying he had to see me. It was September, 1968, three months after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles. I was familiar with Lamarr's project: a book titled Farewell America, which contended that the assassination of John F. Kennedy at Dallas on Nov. 22 was a conspiracy that robbed America of her future....We screened what turned out to be a motion picture version of Farewell America. As a sonorous narrator chronicled John Kennedy's political career, still photos of the President with kings and kids, pols and people, rolled along with shots of his grim-faced enemies: Dallas oil baron H.L. Hunt; the pro-Blue General Edwin A. Walker whom Kennedy had cashiered; the Big Steel executives he had forced to rescind price hikes; FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover; who considered Camelot subversive; Richard Nixon; and on and on....Then the music became dramatically somber as actual footage showed John and Jacqueline Kennedy boarding Air Force I in Fort Worth for the short hop to Dallas. There was the motorcade downtown, spliced together from the home movies of spectators lining the route. And then - the Zapruder film." [Note at the time the author saw this film and this French author had it in possession it was not yet shown to the American public or in public domain. It was still locked in the vaults of time life. It would not be until a subpoena by New Orleans district attorney Garrison that the public would have the opportunity to view it. Now then, how did the French fella get in possession of it?] "...The Zapruder film is horrifyingly graphic....There is no mistaking that he was killed from a shot from the front...I rushed to Hollywood with the film to have it analyzed by experts. They pronounced it authentic, probably a second or third generation copy. I then understood why Life, which had taken a stand in support of the Warren Report featured Gerald Ford's rendition of how the no-conspiracy conclusion was arrived at, had kept the film sequestered. In fact an anonymous caption writer at the magazine had described the head-shot frame as a shot from the front, and a number of subscribers received copies with that caption. But the press run was quickly stopped at tremendous expense, and the offending place broken and replaced by one whose caption was in conformity with the official position....An explanation of how the French had pierced Life's tight security over the film was offered by Richard Lubic, at the time a staffer on Life's sister publication Time. He told me that very early in 1968 the film was missing for several fays from its vault in the Time-Life headquarters in New York...Although the obvious conclusion was an inside job, no suspects were ever --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: (1:2621/10) Ä BAD_MSGS (1:101/505) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ BAD_MSGS Ä Msg : 11 of 26 From : SysOp 1:2621/10 Sun 20 Mar 94 23:29 To : All Fri 25 Mar 94 16:30 Subj : fare2.txt ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ obvious conclusion was an inside job, no suspects were ever hauled on the carpet..." " Gen. Charles de Gaulle, the taught President of the Republic bent on restoring France as a world power, never believe that Oswald acted alone. "You're kidding me, he scoffed to an interviewer. "Cowboys and Indians!" De Gaulle, himself the target of an assassination attempt by right-wing military officers the year before Dallas, reflected the deep-seated skepticism that prevailed in Europe following the publication of the Warren Report. From Lond to Moscow American travelers were braced with the questions: Who was behind it? In politically-sophisticated Europe, the "lone nut" theory was as ludicrous as square wheels....But it was not until 1967, when Jim Garrison burst upon the scene, that an inner circle of French government including De Gaulle and his secret service chief Andre Ducret, made a move. " The first overt act came in the form of a phone call from New York to Garrison. The caller identified himself a representative of Frontiers Publishing Company of Geneva, Switzerland. He said that his firm had an important work in progress on the Kennedy assassination which would soon be published in Europe, and wondered if Mr. Garrison would be interested in taking a look. It was like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit." " Within days the D.A.'s mailbag brought three blackbound volumes of manuscript. The title of this opus magnum, Farewell America, seemed to say that of the world should bid adieu to the country it had known. the author of the record was James Hepburn, whose name was nowhere to be found in the Writer's Directory...." "...The manuscript borrowed liberally from published critics of the Warren Report, but it also displayed a remarkable breadth of knowledge about the roots of the Cold War, the interlinkage between the large corporate and banking interests and ever-growing American intelligence apparatus, and the inner workings of the international petroleum cartels....The manuscript was clearly staff-written or at least scribed by Hepburn with the aid of resources far beyond the reach of the ordinary author. This was later confirmed when the manuscript saw the light of print and the dust jacket declared: "Farewell America was begun in the spring of 1967 and written in New York, Spain, and Paris with the assistance of various European and American specialists." " The theme of the manuscript was that JFK was killed by an amalgam of powerful interests both public and private, that had nightmares about a Kennedy dynasty that might extend through a Teddy presidency. This amalgam, which is called the Committee, perceived Kennedy as a menace to the global superiority of the United States by his week-kneed stand on relations with the Soviet Union and his determination to bridle the nuclear arms race. Despite his uppercrust upbringing he had caved in to the racial-equality rabblerousers such as Martin Luther King. And he had landed on the might corporations as US Steel with the memorable line: "The American people will find it hard, as I do, to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility can show such utter contempt for the interests of 185 million Americans." As Farewell put it, "there is not better way for a President to contract a growing number of enemies than to express himself to explicitly on the multititude of subjects with which he is concerned."" " Farewell's bottom line was that JFK's enemies, collaborating with CIA headquarter's and other parties at interest moved to exorcise the Kennedy curse As engineered by The Committee, it was a scheme of Machiavellian complexity that at the same time was diabolically simple: a sponsorship level, a supervisorial level, a /"gun" level - possibly professional assassins recruited from the ranks of Cuban exiles embittered over Kennedy's failure to supervene with military forces in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasions and to invade the Red island during the 1962 missile crisis..." --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: (1:2621/l10)
