Who
is Jim Moore?
See also: http://www.freedomdomain.com/assassinations/skeleton02.html On August 12, 1980, a national
tabloid weekly, Globe, carried a front-page headline "Onassis
Had JFK Killed and Many Others Slain". (1) The story was purportedly written
by 34-year-old Peter Renzo, a New Yorker who claims to be a CIA
agent. Globe announced that "Beyond the Gemstone Files was
being published as a book and was being made into a movie. The
book publisher was none other than an airline company, Fighting
Tigers, Inc., based in Los Angeles. As if it weren't peculiar
enough that an airline would turn book publisher with such an
"incredible" manuscript, it turns out that Fighting
Tigers, Inc. is a subsidiary of Air America, as is Republic
Picture Corporation, the firm making the movie. Air America,
according to numerous published reports in Newsweek, Ramparts,
Nation and the book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia," is a CIA front. (2) Why would the Central
Intelligence Agency publish a book that blames the CIA for the
assassination of President Kennedy? A federal lawsuit filed in the
U.S. District Court in Nashville, Tennessee (Case No. 80-3025) may
provide the answer. (3) Jim Moore, a freelance writer and
political activist, claims in his multimillion dollar suit against
Renzo, Globe, Hustler magazine and seven other defendants that he,
not Renzo, wrote the story and that the CIA is pushing it as a
"fictional" account of the assassination to cover up the
fact that it is anything but fictional. Living in poverty and in hiding,
the author claims he is marked for death by the government: "Air America, Inc. is widely
reputed to be a corporation owned and controlled by the United
States Central Intelligence Agency, and ... the sole purpose of its
actions ... are to forever discredit both the plaintiff (Moore) and
his work by presenting it in a sensationalized, ‘fictional'
context rather than as the serious, academic work of investigative
journalism intended," claims the lawsuit. Renzo was recently involved in a
controversy with the television show "Speak Up America"
over the bombshell manuscript. He was contacted by the NBC-TV
program and signed agreements to present his “evidence” in a
show that was supposed to have been aired in October. "The people from 'Speak Up
America' came out and filmed for seven hours on September 4,"
Renzo claims. "The following week, they
said it would be sooner than that - in fact, the last week of
September. But there was only a teaser about what would be seen next
week. The next week, the entire show was canceled." NBC
denies a cover-up "It was only a few small
seconds of material on the last show in early October," claimed
an NBC spokesperson. "Nobody stopped anything. It was our
choice." However, Moore claims to have
contacted the tabloid and the book publisher and movie company,
warning them against the further use of "pirated"
material. "The articles published
... are plagiarized from an article written by myself May 1,
1975, and which has previously been published, practically word for
word, in the February 1979 issue of Hustler Magazine," Moore
wrote to the CIA-front organization. "Publication of this
article by Hustler has resulted in a federal lawsuit being filed in
U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Thomas A.
Wiseman presiding." Fighting Tigers, Inc. refused to
answer his letter. Paul M. Levy, attorney for Globe, refused to seek
a retraction from his client, claiming only that: "... the rights to Beyond
the Gemstone Files were purchased by Globe for valuable
consideration from Fighting Tigers, Inc. on July 9, 1980.... Globe
had no prior notice of any right or interest in such book other than
those asserted by Fighting Tigers. "As a consequence of Globe's
good faith, arm's length transaction with Fighting Tigers, it is
necessary that we deny any ostensible claim that you may
have." What is the story of "the
Gemstone Files?" What are they? Where did they originate? And,
finally, what role have they played in such shocking government
cover-ups as Watergate and the assassination of President Kennedy? Jim Moore has long been
considered "an enemy of the state." "It wasn't by choice, and it
wasn’t because I believe there’s a better country somewhere else
on this planet," he says. "I believe strongly in America
and its people; we are the hope of the world and we can never afford
to forget that, But there are people in power who are trying to
destroy everything America was ever supposed to mean. Those people
consider me an enemy of the state " While still in high school, Moore
(then known as Riley) was tinkering with "spy satellites"
in the school basement. His creation of a Very Low Frequency (VLF)
radio receiver for the detection of underground nuclear tests
catapulted him to hometown fame as a 1963 International Science Fair
finalist. He won honors from the Navy, Air Force, NASA, National
Science Foundation, and financial support from Boeing Aircraft and
Western Electric. Just over a year later he spurned
a four-year engineering scholarship and set out on a lifelong quest
to "find out who killed my President." "I had to know," he
insists. "I sensed on that terrible day that something was
wrong, awfully wrong, with my country and the direction in which it
was headed," He became a newspaper reporter, where he started his journalism
career. At the age
of 19 he was writing for the Associated Press and was one of the
youngest departmental editors of a daily newspaper anywhere in North
America. His first newspaper job was with the Pratt Daily Tribune,
the newspaper where the late Ben Hibbs, revered editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, got his start, From there he went to Chicago and
worked on a weekly tabloid, The National Insider, where he buried
himself in the Kennedy case between writing consumer fraud and
political articles. "Elmer Gertz, one of the
lawyers for Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, was the lawyer who read my
material for any possible libel problem," Moore says "He
warned me about getting 'too deep' into the Kennedy thing; it only
spurred me on with even greater intensity." In 1968 he turned from reporter
to politician, heading the Illinois campaign for Senator Eugene
McCarthy's independent bid for the presidency. He openly challenged
Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley political machine and, in a
stunning legal victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, he altered the
course of American politics with a resounding triumph for the one
man - one vote concept. "With the assassination of
Robert Kennedy, I left politics. It smelled too bad," he
recalls. Aware of the links between the CIA and the Mafia, he turned
his attention to organized crime, exposed a nationwide watch
counterfeit ring that threatened to destroy some nationally known
watch manufacturers whose products were being counterfeited on a
massive scale. He was offered bribes not to publish the story, but
refused and published it anyway. He was beaten "as a
warning." When he persisted, a contract was put on his head by
the Tony Accardo mob; it was dropped only after he left Chicago and
went into hiding in Tennessee "I couldn't hide
forever," he realized. "I feel I was put on this earth for
a purpose, and to deny that was to deny my very existence.” He began publishing the Fairview
Flyer, a controversial weekly newspaper just outside Nashville.
Within a year he was arrested for, he says, "the crime of
publishing a newspaper on Sunday in violation of a newly-enacted
blue law created just for my benefit." Despite the support of
John Siegenthaler, publisher of The Tennessean and a former Justice
Department official under Robert Kennedy, Moore served more than two
months in the Williamson County Jail. "It was immediately after I
was released from jail," he says, "that I contacted
Congressman Henry Gonzales about my investigation of the Kennedy
assassinations and their links to Watergate." In a four-page letter dated June
27, 1975, Moore named E. Howard Hunt as being involved in a cover-up
in Mexico City involving Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged visits to the
Soviet and Cuban embassies there. He also pointed out to the
congressman that columnist Jack Anderson had also linked CIA agent
Gordon Novel, sought for testimony in the assassination, to a scheme
by Richard Nixon to erase the Watergate tapes and replace them with
forgeries. Moore and Gonzalez had been
corresponding since early February 1975, when Gonzalez, who had
ridden with Kennedy in that fateful motorcade in Dallas, was
single-handedly trying to revive the Kennedy probe. "I deeply appreciate your
suggestions," Gonzalez wrote on February 24. "If my
resolution is passed by the House and an investigative staff is set
up, your information would be helpful to them." Shortly after Moore sent Gonzalez
a copy of "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone Files," Gonzalez
pounced on Moore's charge that E. Howard Hunt, the Watergate
mastermind, was possibly linked to Oswald "I didn't pay much attention
to investigators who repeatedly claimed there was a massive
conspiracy to cover up the JFK assassination," the Texas
congressman said. "But since Watergate, I
think these conspiracy claims should be viewed in a different
light." According to a report in The
National Enquirer, August 26, 1975: "A key question Gonzalez
wants answered is the whereabouts of Howard Hunt one of the major
Watergate figures - on the day of JFK's assassination." "I think it's more than
coincidence," Gonzalez said, "that Hunt had been head of
the CIA station in Mexico and that Lee Harvey Oswald made a
mysterious visit to Mexico City shortly before the assassination. "We again run into the name
of Howard Hunt in the attempt on Wallace's life, An hour after the
shooting, Hunt was sent to Arthur Bremer's apartment on Charles
Colson's orders." Colson was counsel to President Nixon. A few weeks later, on September
16, Gonzalez wrote Moore again: "I am deeply indebted to you
for the details which you have shared with me in respect to Gordon
Novel and other figures which you feel should be subpoenaed once the
investigation is under way. "Could you possibly verify
your statement that E. Howard Hunt was Chief of Station in Mexico
City at the time Oswald supposedly visited there? This is very
important, and I am wondering if you will let me have further
information in verification of this statement." The original claim, Moore says,
was made by Tad Szulc, a nationally-known and respected reporter
with the New York Times and an expert on national and international
intelligence operations. "I sent this to Gonzalez,
along with a more detailed report on Hunt which placed Hunt in
charge of the covert photography operation across the street from
the Soviet and Cuban embassies. The whole story that Oswald was in
Mexico City was a hoax. The CIA took photographs of everyone who
entered or left the buildings; this had been standard operating
procedure for months. The photo in the Warren Report is obviously
not Oswald and the CIA could never come up with a photo of Oswald
after that initial foul-up because they didn’t have any photos of
Oswald. Oswald had not been there." A few months later, Gonzalez
revealed that there was a $35,000 contract on his head and that the
FBI was reluctant to even investigate. Then, on March 7, 1977,
Gonzalez resigned as chairman of the House Select Committee on
Assassinations, claiming that "because vast and powerful
forces, including this country's most sophisticated crime element,
won't stand for it," the JFK probe would never be completed. "This criminal element is
all-pervasive, loaded with nothing but money and in many ways more
potent than the government itself." Forces allied against the probe,
he said, included "the Kennedy family and heavy business
interests in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who don't want all the old
JFK muck raked up." The committee investigation, he
said, was "a put-on job and a hideous farce that was never
intended to work." "They never did want the
Kennedy conspiracy unmasked. They were so right. The JFK probe is
over." Moore, however, tried to continue
working with the committee, dealing with Robert Tannenbaum, staff
counsel. In early April, Moore consented to a meeting with people he
thought were committee investigators. The meeting was supposed to
take place at a suburban theatre, but Moore claims no one showed up. "But on the way home some
fool tried to run me off the road. I called the police and reported
the license number and was told nothing could be done. After that, I
cut off all contact with the House Assassinations Committee.” Several months later, on November
15, he sent a copy of the Gemstone manuscript to Larry Flynt,
publisher of Hustler Magazine, and proposed a 12-part series on the
Gemstone Files similar to a serialized "History of Organized
Crime" that Hugh Hefner had run in Playboy. The manuscript was
rejected . On January 31, 1978, Moore
received a form letter from Flynt, apparently sent out to
journalists and investigators around the country: "You may know that I have
offered a one-million dollar reward to those who help to bring
President Kennedy's killers to justice. Already we have received
hundreds of telephone calls and letters....Join us in this
effort." “My reaction was to get on the
phone to Hustler and to send the Gemstone manuscript back again.
Maybe now, I thought, was a better time." Mark Lane, whose name is synonymous with conspiracy, JFK and Jim Jones, was Flynt's attorney. It was he who received Moore's article. Nashville attorney and former
criminal court of appeals judge Charles Galbreath, a personal friend
of Flynt's, later told Moore: "Mark Lane, with whom I am
associated in the James Earl Ray case here, was my house guest this
past weekend and I showed him the manuscript and he remembered
discussing it with Larry together with his plans to publish it last
year before Georgia. Mark told me he recommended against publication
because of the obvious speculative nature of the theories outlined
therein." Telephone records of South Central Bell also show two long-distance conversations between Fairview, Tennessee and Flynt's offices in Columbus, Ohio and Beverly Hills, California on February 14 and 17. The first call, placed at 12:58 p.m. and made from telephone number 615-799-2694, was made to 614-464-2070 and lasted 13 minutes. The second call, three minutes long, was made at 10:46 a.m. on February 17 from the same number to 213-552-0012 in Beverly Hills. Both numbers are listed to Larry Flynt's business interest. During these critical
negotiations over the publication of the Gemstone Files, another
victim of the Kennedy conspiracy was to fall -- this time Larry
Flynt himself. Flynt and his attorney Gene Reeves were gunned down
in Lawrenceville, Ga. by then unknown gunmen. Flynt hovered
near death with a gaping hole in his stomach; Reeves lay in critical
condition. Flynt has never walked since. A week later, Moore routinely
filed two letters, both of them mentioning his manuscript by name.
One was from author Mary McCarthy; the other was from author Tom
Miller. They would become critical pieces of evidence in the trial
that was to follow. On April 23, 1978, Mark Lane
reported that Flynt's million-dollar reward offer had produced
important new evidence: "I now have a top-secret
document that is the single most important document uncovered since
the Kennedy assassination." That document was "A Skeleton
Key to the Gemstone Files.” Althea Flynt, Larry's wife, made
a statement that was to be repeated again and again in the coming
months: "My husband believes that it
was the CIA trying to silence him. And I believe it as well." Rampant rumors within the Flynt
organization were that the publisher had been shot because word had
leaked out about the Gemstone File. Suspicion focused on the
"former" CIA and FBI officials Flynt had hired to help
him, apparently forgetting a simple truth; once in the CIA, always
controlled by the CIA. Author Neal Wilgus, in his book
"The Illuminoids" also linked the two events in a listing
of news events of the year when he wrote: "1977-attempted assassination of
Hustler publisher Larry Flynt in Lawrenceville, Ga. after Flynt
announced a $1 million reward for new evidence in the JFK
assassination and released the so-called ‘Gemstone File' which
reportedly implicates government officials in the murder; Flynt's
attacker escapes unidentified and is still at large..." This account, published in book
form in March 1979, had to have been written either before the
shooting or just after. No one knew the Gemstone Files were going to
be published, despite the shooting. In fact, they were not published
until February 1979, when the magazine's cover proclaimed: "Exclusive! PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S KILLERS REVEALED!" An introduction to the article
never mentioned the possible link between it and Flynt’s
near-murder. Nor did it mention the name of the author ... or at
least not the true author. The story bore the byline of Bruce
Roberts, a man who had been dead for quite some time. "Fingering the heartless
forces responsible for the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy is a commitment HUSTLER made more than a year ago," the
introduction read. "As a result, we're bringing you a condensed
version of The Gemstone File, which was presented to us with the
following warning: 'Everyone else who has had this information is
now dead'- including its author, Bruce Roberts. While this
speculative report has been dismissed by some critics as an
‘amalgam of facts and apocrypha by a paranoid researcher who died
from an overdose of natural causes,' we'd like you to be the judge.
Roberts claimed to have been one of the crystallographers who
pioneered the development of artificial gemstones, later used in
laser research. Withdrawn and reclusive during his last years, he
accused the CIA of secretly injecting him with cancer cells shortly
before his death. The documents Roberts left behind - which in its
full form runs more than 1,000 pages - is possibly the most
comprehensive and frightening probe into the JFK killing to
date." Elsewhere, the publisher wrote: "Throughout his story,
whenever new voices become powerful and commanding, there is a
traceable pattern of violent response. Whether from the right or
from the left there is a stealthy, savage reaction, like a shaft of
ramrod steel. From Jesus Christ to Chile's Salvador Allende, the
markings are clear. Action calls forth reaction, and nowhere is this
more clear than in the savage history of our own country: Abraham
Lincoln, Huey Long, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and all
the others whose cries for justice have been stilled by the
staccato burst of the gun.... "The article that follows
... may be considered by many to be a work of madness. But remember,
through the ages all innovative work of genius has been thought to
be the product of insanity. One need only reflect on the spectacle
of Galileo recanting before the Church. It was madness, they said
for him to advance the notion that the earth moved around the sun.
And they were right; it was madness, even though he was correct. The
astronomer’s thinking was madness because it upset the settled
scheme of things and could not be demonstrably proven for all to
see. For that reason, Galileo's idea had to be dismissed and done
away with perhaps, just like the Gemstone File....it should never be
overlooked that the hellish vision the article contains may well
bear the germs of truth, virulent though they may be. "The author of this article
is deceased. How he died is not known. "We do not presume to judge
the material that follows - material we have obtained as a result of
our advertisements calling for information about the JFK
assassination....We consider only this: The Gemstone File is a cry
that needs to be heard. Whether or not your ears are deaf is a
matter for you alone to decide." When the article was published,
Moore went to Charles Galbreath, who had been forced off the
judicial bench because of a letter he had written to Flynt's
magazine on official court stationery lamenting, in explicit
language, the fat that oral sex was still illegal in Tennessee. Galbreath asked Moore to meet him at his home, where he
agreed to act as intermediary. "I was unable to contact
Flynt," Moore recalls, "I couldn't get through the lower
levels. I was being blocked. So I went to Galbreath.” "I agree," Galbreath
wrote in a letter of February 7, 1979, "that the evidence of
plagiarism from the misspelled word (Moore had deliberately
misspelled the name of a top Vatican figure and Hustler had
unknowingly copied and reproduced the error when it copied the
manuscript) is conclusive. There is no doubt that Hustler will
recognize its obligation to you for the unauthorized use of the
material." Ironically, correspondence
between Galbreath and Flynt began disappearing from the judge's
files at about the same time. Later, Galbreath added that
"I have no doubt that Larry Flynt will be fair. He has always
impressed me that way and I have talked to him enough since his
injury to believe he has not changed." James Heinisch, representing
Hustler, agreed that the article had been plagiarized and an offer
of $2,500 was made through Galbreath. Moore, citing the original
proposal of November 15, 1977 and the million-dollar reward offer,
turned the settlement down, noting that he had spent 15 years of his
life researching the Gemstone Files. Meanwhile, publication of the
manuscript had created a storm of controversy. Gallery publisher Nils A. Shapiro
sharply criticized Flynt's decision to publish it: "It's unfortunate that so
many publications have, in the years since 1963, attempted to cash
in on public interest by 'sensationalizing' and exaggerating their
reporting of the assassination case. The February issue of Hustler
magazine states boldly (and misleadingly) on its front cover:
"Exclusive! President Kennedy's Killers Revealed!" Gallery
would have liked nothing better than to have this be true - whether
the news came from Hustler or Newsweek or NBC. Unfortunately, the
poor suckers who bought copies of that issue quickly learned that
the article inside was very likely a work of fantasy; even the
magazine's own introduction was careful to point out that the piece
may have had no validity whatsoever, contained no documented proof,
and was probably nothing more than the 'speculation' of one man who
'claimed through his inventions in the field of artificial gemstone
technology (the cornerstone of laser beam application)...he became
privy to worlds that can just barely be imagined, let alone glimpsed
by ordinary mortals.' "That front-cover line may
have sold a lot of copies of Hustler, but it was a black mark in the
field of serious investigative research...." Not everyone who read the article
felt "suckered," however. The April 1979 issue of Hustler
contains two sobering letters from readers: "Whoever Bruce Roberts was,
he told more truth in the February 1979’s Hustler than anyone else
ever has about what's going on at the top of our government. I hope
it awakens the voters." (Signed James Montgomery, Oronogo,
Mississippi) "I bought your February
issue and found my worst nightmare exploding right out of your pages
in The Gemstone File expose. Needless to say, I am afraid, hopeless
- but even worse, uninformed. I've talked to friends and have tried
to tell them what I read in your magazine. They don't want to hear
about it. One friend said, 'Why, if everybody knew about what really
happened, we would lose faith in the American way." (Name and
address withheld by request) Reflecting on the Gemstone
revelations, Moore says: "Of course it was
speculative! What they received was just a summary. I couldn't very
well send them three file cabinets dull of documents, letters,
photos, etc. What they published was just a proposal to publish a
12-part series - fully documented with photographs of the JFK gunmen
- there were four of them - and government documents detailing what
really happened. There just wasn't room in one article. But they
printed it anyway, and I think that decision played right into the hands of the CIA. It was an
opportunity from the very pits of hell (I can't bring myself to say
heaven-sent) to pounce on the truth and totally discredit it. Now
that the CIA is even pushing the story as a book and a movie, it's
obvious! "But America is going to
pay, and pay dearly. Sadly, the people responsible will be dead by
then; it will be the people of this country who have to pay ... in
oil prices, in inflation, in CIA control of the country, and,
finally, in nuclear war. He points to the lyrics of a
Rolling Stones song: "Who killed the Kennedys? After all, it
was you and me" and claims that the apathy Americans hold for
their government is ultimately responsible. "You can't give away the
right of your own destiny, and we've done that in this country. For
a very brief period, there was an effort by the people to regain
control, but they failed and now the Mafia-CIA is stronger than
ever. Do you realize we are living Orwell's 1984?" Stubbornly, the Tennessee author
attempted to publish the complete version of the Gemstone Files on
his own, claiming that Hustler had censored their version "to
protect highly-placed individuals still in power." With the
help of a U.S. senator from Tennessee, Moore pushed on ... only to
be arrested for alleged possession of marijuana at his country home. "I was away for the weekend.
When I came home I found the police waiting for me, claiming they
had found three marijuana plants on my front porch in plain view of
the road. Hell, if I’d wanted to grow my own, I had 40 acres to do
it on; why put it on the front porch?" Again, he was hauled off to jail,
where he was held incommunicado, denied bail and visitors. "The
sheriff's office even lied to the judge, claiming I had been
released as ordered. They kept me in jail and burglarized my home
and office, then tried to destroy the evidence of the burglaries
being reported. I even have a handwritten note, signed by a deputy
sheriff, stating that my mail privileges had been cut off for no
reason." The mail cutoff was particularly
hard to swallow, he says, because he was then corresponding with
Congressman Robin Beard and the Nuclear Regulatory Agency over
possible sabotage and union corruption at the world's largest
nuclear reactor in Hartsville, Tennessee. "I only got out of that
hellhole by accident," he grins. "I had to go to trial in Fairview and
also in Franklin. They took me to Fairview, where the charges were
thrown out, then never remembered to take me back to jail. The
Fairview police chief, A. A. Moore (no relation) told me to get the
hell out of there; if the county wanted me they were supposed to
have come and gotten me and he wasn't going to do their dirty work
for them." After six weeks’ imprisonment,
Moore doggedly returned to writing. His research on electronic mind
control was hailed in a 1979 book as "astounding." He claims the government used
electronic mind control techniques on Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack
Ruby. Dorothy Kilgallen, he says, discovered this and was murdered. His own lawsuit against Hustler
took a peculiar turn. On April 16, 1979, before his imprisonment,
Moore had received a letter from Galbreath in which the judge said: "I have asked repeatedly for
Mr. Heinish to answer my many letters so as to give the official
position he is taking, but he has not seen fit to do so." Writing to Larry Flynt, Galbreath
pleaded: "Please have him write me. I
have assured Moore all along that he would be treated fairly. Don't
let Heinish make a liar out of me." On May 8, Heinish had finally
replied, claiming the article was really not a Hustler exclusive, as
advertised, but had been published in City of San Francisco Magazine
in August 1975. "I've never seen the San
Francisco article," Moore says, "but if it was published,
it was stolen from my home while I was in jail. I finished the
manuscript May 1, 1975 and sent it to Congressman Gonzalez. What
happened to it after that, I don't know. I do know that Larry Flynt
received it from me through Mark Lane in 1978." On May 11, Galbreath introduced a
note of mystery into the already mysterious case of the Gemstone
Files when he wrote: "I am becoming increasingly
disillusioned with Flynt's organization. I have a feeling he is no
longer in complete command of things. Under the circumstances, I
would not be adverse to filing suit on your claim since I am
convinced it is meritorious." Before suit could be filed,
however, Moore was jailed on the marijuana charges. When he was
released, Galbreath had had a change of heart, despite having signed
a contract to represent the author. Two days later, Dickinson
disappeared; he has not been located since, although rumors persist
that he was incarcerated in Central State Hospital, a mental asylum. "I've tried to find out,
because he still has some of my documents," Moore says,
"but they just tell me that's confidential information that
they can't release." On April 20, 1980, Moore wrote a
letter to U.S. District Judge Thomas Wiseman, telling him of
Dickinson's disappearance and asking for an investigation. He never
received a reply. Today, Moore stands alone in his
quest for vindication. He lives in poverty and, representing himself
in court, has filed a pauper's oath. "I have a fairly strong
feeling what will happen," he says, "and why the CIA keeps
pushing this case. This whole thing is a trap; they want to locate
the evidence I have obtained over the past 15 years. They know it
would do no good to kill me; that would just be a catalyst - it
would all come out then because I've made copies of everything and
have distributed them to people I trust, with instructions that if
anything happens to me these papers should be released to the news
media in their entirety...all three filing cabinets full … photos,
everything. Moore claims one of the Kennedy
hitmen, James Frattiano, is now working for the government as an
informer against Mafia bigwigs. "The government will protect
him until hell freezes over. Jimmy 'The Weasel' Frattiano did the
same thing I did - he wrote it all down and made copies so they
can't touch him. He's home free." Frattiano's testimony on Mafia
executions recently convicted his Mafia superiors in a California
trial and Frattiano is now living a new life with a new identity
under the federal witness protection program. "The CIA, through Air
America, Fighting Tigers, Inc., and all the rest is trying to smoke
me out into the open," Moore claims. "The statement in
Hustler about 'everyone who has had this information is now dead'
was just a warning to me to keep my mouth shut. Well, dammit, I
won't do it!” "This country will never
regain its integrity and dignity until it can face the realities of
its past - just the way an alcoholic can't cure himself until he
admits he is an alcoholic. I wish I could think of something witty
and original to say, but I can't. I keep thinking about phrases like
having but one life to give for my country, and no forth. The true
patriot isn't the guy swilling beer and watching the Super Bowl,
accepting everything he's told; the true patriot is the person who
can see the truth, good or bad, and then work to make it better. "Someone once said that if
you don't have anything worth dying for, you have nothing worth
living for - but I like another one better, from Dante's Inferno,
when he said "The hottest levels of hell are reserved for
those, who in times of great moral crises, maintain their
neutrality." That's where America is at today, and we'd better
wake up to the fact - we're in the middle of the greatest moral
crises of our national history, perhaps in the history of the whole
human race." Despite the death cloud hanging
over him, Moore is pursuing his career, writing the things he
believes should be written. For him, the circle has come around
fully. In 1962 he was designing Very Low Frequency nuclear test
detectors for spy satellites; today he's working on a book, his
first ("the first with my name on it, anyway"), that
reveals the extent to which Very Low Frequency and Extremely Low
Frequency radiation is destroying the human race. "It's a helluva lot worse
than nuclear radiation or chemical wastes or any of that. It's worse
because we don't know about it. The Navy wants to use this
technology for World War III - and to hell with the health and
safety of the civilians the military is supposed to be protecting.
The Navy and other agencies are constructing huge radio
transmitters, some of them pouring out 800 million watts of
