Five Fatal Moments in American History
Unfinished business in a nation's history can undermine citizens' trust in government and sense of participating in a meaningful collective life. In the case of fatal moments such as assassinations and terrorist attacks, the damage adds to the impact of the attacks and helps the attackers achieve their goals of demoralizing the people and fraying the social fabric. Compounding the problem, government agencies and the media often show reluctance to reveal what they learn because they lack 100% assurance of its validity or because they fear the public reaction. As a result, people often believe that certain crimes remain unsolved or are even unsolvable when in fact they have already been solved but the information is being denied to the public. Therefore, anyone who learns of such Hidden Truths has a duty to bring them to the attention of the widest audience possible.
Five such fatal moments have occurred in the past 50 years that are considered unsolved, and yet evidence and logic point to solutions for all five of them.
First, we now have new evidence and reasons to believe that Mary Pinchot Meyer, the main girlfriend and confidante of President John F. Kennedy during his White House years, was shot to death on the Canal towpath in Georgetown by a hired killer at the behest of the KGB: www.scientiapress.com/findings/kgbmeyer.html .
Second, while Meyer's tragic end perhaps merited only minor news coverage, it may now have gained much greater significance because it raises anew the question of whether the KGB organized the assassination of John F. Kennedy himself. In fact, a reinterpretation of evidence regarding Meyer suggests that CIA may have long known that the KGB indeed was behind the assassination of JFK. But CIA has kept this information to itself because it has no mandate to report to the public: www.scientiapress.com/findings/kgbkennedy.htm.
Third, there is evidence suggesting that the correct characterization or diagnosis of the role of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney in the run-up to the September, 2001 terrorist attacks is criminal negligence. This interpretation suggests that the 9/11 Commission Report was a cover-up and that, on the other side of the issue, the various conspiracy theories are incorrect. There has indeed been a conspiracy--Bush and Cheney covered up for their negligence, in part by distracting the public via their calls to attack Saddam Hussein's Iraq. But this conspiracy took place after 9/11, and it is ongoing: www.scientiapress.com/findings/amoc.htm.
Fourth, telling circumstantial evidence suggests that the FBI has learned the identity of the Anthrax Mailer of 2001. He was an al Qaeda terrorist named Abderraouf Jdey. But because FBI is still pursuing the scientists who provided Jdey with his anthrax and perhaps because of other reasons, the Bureau has not yet shared this information with the public: www.scientiapress.com/findings/mailer.htm.
Fifth, it appears that FBI has also concluded that Jdey brought down American Airlines Flight #587 on November 12, 2001 with a shoebomb, killing 265 people. But, for the same reasons as in #4, the Bureau has not yet released this information to the public: www.scientiapress.com/findings/mailer.htm.
In each case, knowledge of the true stories of the fatal moments resides in government agencies and/or the news media. While in some of the cases their unwillingness to make their information public is fully justified, in every case the public still has a right to know the truth. So it is incumbent on every patriotic American who learns of these stories, even if they are not 100% proven, to share them with fellow Americans and to call for the government agencies and news media to tell the public what they know.
