That's 46 00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:37,290 exactly true. 47 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:45,790 The assassination of John F.

The government couldn't wait to close the 53 00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:12,730 the case. 54 00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,030 Me, I never let it go. 55 00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:20,790 I've done my own research from Dallas to Havana, and I still haven't found all 56 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:21,790 the answers. 57 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,680 That's how I wound up on this bridge. A guy named Ron said he had some new 58 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,140 evidence. I have some very classified papers here that I've held on for years. 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,920 But my health won't let me do that anymore. 60 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,600 So I wanted your team to investigate. 61 00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:42,220 Okay. 62 00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:45,500 They deal with the assassination of President Kennedy. 63 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,580 Ron didn't want to give his last name. 64 00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:55,440 He did want to give me those papers, classified CIA papers. 65 00:03:56,020 --> 00:04:00,580 He said he was developing a movie about the assassination when someone gave them 66 00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:01,379 to him. 67 00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:06,980 He took one look and locked them away until he decided to hand them to me. 68 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560 You know, I've always followed the Kennedy killing and studied it. Is there 69 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,040 something new here I'm going to learn? 70 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320 It tells a lot of different stories. 71 00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:20,320 The CIA is at the top of the list and Nixon. 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Nixon. Nixon. 73 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,440 Richard Nixon. 74 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,740 The assassination of one president leads to another president. 75 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:33,980 This story needs to be told to the people. They need the truth because 76 00:04:33,980 --> 00:04:35,020 has ever told the truth. 77 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,600 Where did you get these? 78 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,980 I got them from a CIA agent. 79 00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:40,420 Now, that's a little bizarre. 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,220 CIA agents don't normally start handing out classified documents. 81 00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,180 No, but this young man wanted to see this story told. 82 00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:49,420 Where is he today? 83 00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:51,270 I think he's dead. 84 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:56,730 You seem frightened a little, are you? 85 00:04:57,050 --> 00:05:01,310 I've been frightened during... Because you have these? 86 00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:02,610 Yes, sir. 87 00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:04,930 And I sleep with a gun under my pillow. 88 00:05:05,230 --> 00:05:06,830 Well, now that I have them, should I? 89 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:09,550 Maybe. Maybe. 90 00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:15,670 He sleeps with a gun under his pillow. 91 00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:17,850 After all this time. 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520 The forces behind the conspiracy are still out there. 93 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,220 These CIA documents might give a clue who they are. 94 00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:28,880 I had some reading. 95 00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:38,500 Turns out those papers set out a motive for JFK's murder in black and white. 96 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,120 And sure enough, Richard Nixon is in the middle. 97 00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:45,580 It goes back to 1959. 98 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,520 when Vice President Nixon oversaw Operation 40, a CIA hit squad out to 99 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,020 Fidel Castro, who just seized power in Cuba. 100 00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:03,960 After JFK was elected, Operation 40 agents joined a failed invasion of Cuba 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,740 at the Bay of Pigs. 102 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,580 According to these papers, JFK refused to try again. 103 00:06:12,190 --> 00:06:16,050 So the Operation 40 gang decided to kill JFK. 104 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:23,010 They figured they'd point the finger at Castro and get rid of him for good. 105 00:06:25,610 --> 00:06:32,130 This gets even wilder, people. These documents link the killing of JFK to 106 00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:33,610 Watergate. How's that? 107 00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:39,130 Well, there was this Operation 40 back in the 50s that Richard Nixon was in 108 00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:40,130 charge of. 109 00:06:40,170 --> 00:06:45,710 that had E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, all of the same cast of characters that 110 00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:50,010 ended up being involved in the Watergate break -in. These guys are working for 111 00:06:50,010 --> 00:06:54,010 the committee to re -elect the president. In those days, the aptly 112 00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:59,470 They were an assassination team back in the 50s. Nixon leaves offices in the 113 00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:03,250 private sector for eight years, but these guys kept on operating. 114 00:07:03,550 --> 00:07:04,890 Comes 1972, 115 00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:09,750 up comes Watergate. I think Nixon was set up on Watergate. 116 00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:15,880 by these same people that these documents now link to JFK. But why would 117 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,760 want to do that to Nixon? Nixon had asked the CIA for all documents 118 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,660 dealing with the Kennedy murder, and I think that these rogues in the CIA did 119 00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:34,720 not want Nixon sticking his nose into the JFK murder eight years after it 120 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,640 happened. But, Governor, where do we start on this? 121 00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:41,980 Well, I'm going to go talk to somebody that knows a lot about it, but 122 00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:43,080 unfortunately he's dead. 123 00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:45,980 Not that that would stop you. 124 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,300 The man who knew more than anyone about the forces behind the JFK assassination 125 00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,600 was Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. 126 00:07:58,270 --> 00:08:02,650 Prouty worked in the Pentagon as a military liaison to the CIA. 127 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:05,030 He died in 2001. 128 00:08:05,690 --> 00:08:09,330 But he left his secrets with a man named Len Osanic. 129 00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:14,450 Osanic got Prouty to record hundreds of hours of testimony on video. 130 00:08:15,610 --> 00:08:21,290 I need to know about the CIA, the Secret Service, the Pentagon, the Russians, as 131 00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:22,310 well as the Cubans. 132 00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:30,340 The murder was a carefully planned job. Remove the protection. 133 00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:32,640 You're going to have somebody assassinated. 134 00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:39,960 And it was evident in the area of Dallas that the Secret Service coverage either 135 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,540 didn't exist or was at a minimum. It was a major, controlled coup d 'etat that 136 00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:48,160 was absolutely effective. 137 00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:54,300 Letcher Prouty backed those CIA documents, but he also took the 138 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,620 another direction, back to Lee Harvey Oswald. 139 00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:01,560 Which means that he had been with the CIA. 140 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Oswald was a patsy, no question about it. 141 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,480 And that the murderers were professionals that I knew existed. 142 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,780 He said it flat out. 143 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,320 Oswald was framed. 144 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,360 I'd heard enough. 145 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,100 Yeah, there are a lot of different ways to go in this case, but there was only 146 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,340 one way for me to go. 147 00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:23,600 I was headed to Dallas. 148 00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:28,100 Coming up. Fire in the hole. 149 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:30,680 Dealey Pleasure. 150 00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:35,460 Jesse Ventura finds shocking new evidence at the JFK crime scene. 151 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,500 You were literally. 152 00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:43,840 10 to 15 feet away from the fatal headshot, and the Warren Commission 153 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,420 called to have him testify? 154 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,380 Then, a surprise admission at a place built to support the Warren Commission's 155 00:09:50,380 --> 00:09:51,400 lone gunman theory. 156 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,500 Well, I go home. I think there's more to it than Lee Harvey Awful. 157 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,080 And later. 158 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,660 Jesse confronts the man who thought he'd put all the conspiracy theories to 159 00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:06,280 rest. You won't let me talk because I want to interject some stuff here. I'm 160 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,040 sorry, Vince, but... Jesse 161 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:19,440 Ventura 162 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,980 has touched down in dollars to reopen the investigation into the assassination 163 00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:25,820 of President John F. Kennedy. 164 00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,020 Dealey Plaza. 165 00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:32,520 This is where the president was murdered on November 22nd, 1963. 166 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:39,380 The questions are, who fired the shots and where did they come from? 167 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:43,360 Several police officers are rushing up the hill at this time. 168 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,820 This is the event that inspired my work with conspiracies. 169 00:10:48,140 --> 00:10:50,600 This is why I always question authority. 170 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960 This is where it happened. 171 00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:58,310 There's the turn in the road where the motorcade slowed down as Kennedy's 172 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:59,310 convertible approached. 173 00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:04,850 Up there, that's the Texas Book Depository, sixth floor. 174 00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:08,470 That's where Oswald supposedly fired the shots. 175 00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:12,670 But over there, that's the grassy knoll. 176 00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,390 That's where a lot of witnesses thought the shots came from. 177 00:11:17,170 --> 00:11:20,370 That's where the conspiracy theories were born. 178 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,300 And that's Bill Newman. 179 00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:29,920 He was standing right there on that terrible day. 180 00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:38,100 He's one of the few witnesses who survived to tell his story. 181 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,920 Many others died mysteriously. 182 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,920 Bill may be alive today because he slipped through the cracks. 183 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:52,080 Well, Bill, this is about the spot right here that you and your family were 184 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,440 standing at? That's correct. 185 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,360 and my two children, Bill, who was four at the time, and Clayton, who was two. 186 00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:06,200 President Kennedy came down just about the center lane. He was out from the 187 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,780 probably some 10 or 12 feet. 188 00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,600 But you were this close. 189 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:15,580 As the president's car turned left onto Elm Street, probably some 100 feet or 190 00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:21,100 less from us, the first two shots rang out. And it was a boom, boom like that, 191 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,700 just as the car got straight in front of us. 192 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,440 Third shot rang out. 193 00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:30,940 The side of President Kennedy's head blew off. 194 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,640 You could see the brain matter and the blood fly up. 195 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,060 Mrs. Kennedy, she screamed out, oh my God, no, they've shot Jack. 196 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,920 I turned to Gail and I said, that's it, hit the ground and we threw our children 197 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,400 down and covered them on the ground. 198 00:12:46,180 --> 00:12:48,740 I thought the shot had come from directly behind. 199 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,880 Directly behind? Shot down from behind. 200 00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:55,600 Did you see anything in the book depository building or anything? 201 00:12:56,820 --> 00:12:57,820 No. 202 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,380 No, I mean, I had no reason to look at the book depository. 203 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,340 I read the report you were interviewed by the FBI, a one -page report. 204 00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:10,320 Your wife, about, what, two -thirds of a page report? 205 00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:12,080 You have it. I have it. 206 00:13:12,380 --> 00:13:16,160 There's yours and there's your wife. That was the only, I would say, the 207 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,040 official contact that we had with her. 208 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:20,680 Any authorities. 209 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,120 You were literally 10 to 15 feet away from the fatal headshot, and the Warren 210 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800 Commission never even called to have you testify or talk to you? 211 00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:36,160 No, Governor, we were never contacted by the Warren Commission, and I question 212 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,620 that because others like yourself would ask that same question. 213 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,500 The Warren Commission. 214 00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:46,400 The new president, Lyndon Johnson, set it up a week after the assassination to 215 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,640 investigate the killing. 216 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,540 The report concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. 217 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,520 But before he died, commission member Gerald Ford admitted that the CIA had 218 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,500 destroyed or withheld critical evidence. 219 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,320 A Warren commission didn't even talk to you. Never interviewed. 220 00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:06,620 No. 221 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:11,600 It seems to me like they had the answer before they asked the questions. They 222 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,720 already knew the conclusion. 223 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,300 The Warren Commission's lone gunman theory relies on something called the 224 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:28,920 bullet. One bullet would have caused all the non -fatal wounds to JFK and Texas 225 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,540 Governor John Connally sitting in front of him. 226 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Warren Commission staffer Arlen Specter came up with that one. 227 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,560 What do you know? 228 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,420 He wound up a sinner. 229 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,880 Gerald Ford later admitted that he'd changed the description of JFK's wounds 230 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,000 make the theory sound more plausible. 231 00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:51,460 He wound up president. 232 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,700 You help the Warren Commission in the cover -up, good things can happen. 233 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920 So the fatal shot, as far as you're concerned. Fatal shot came from right 234 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,160 Remember, Kennedy said went back and to the left. 235 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,180 Back and to the left, all right? 236 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,940 Back and left. 237 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,980 The sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, where Oswald allegedly 238 00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:33,080 fired the shots, is now a museum. 239 00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:36,920 The museum presents the Warren Commission's version of events. 240 00:15:37,820 --> 00:15:40,800 How come we can't ever get into the real shooter nest? 241 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:45,530 Preservation. The wood floor is the same way it was back then. Even the markings 242 00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:48,730 on the floor, which are visible on the crime scene photos, are still there. 243 00:15:49,330 --> 00:15:52,990 Preservation is the only reason that they do that and keep it the way it is. 244 00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:57,190 Yeah, see, I have a difficult time with him making these shots. 245 00:15:57,950 --> 00:16:02,410 I think that it's virtually next to impossible. The guy was not a very good 246 00:16:02,410 --> 00:16:05,830 to begin with because in the military, when you only qualify as a marksman, 247 00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:07,390 that's the lowest you can be. 248 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,900 I had a chance to test the same type of rifle, same ammunition, and try to 249 00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:17,040 recreate Oswald's shooting sequence. 250 00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:22,000 Assassination expert Jim Fetzer warned me about the weapon. 251 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:27,180 The Mannlicher Carcano, the bolt action was so difficult that when you side in 252 00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:30,840 with the telescopic sight, after you work the bolt, you're thrown off the 253 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,120 and you have to re -side again. 254 00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:33,380 We got the crate. 255 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,160 It's supposed to be 190! 256 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,900 to recreate the elevation and distance of Oswald's perch. 257 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,660 Those hay bales represent the spots where JFK was hit. 258 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Oswald supposedly got off three shots in 6 .3 seconds. 259 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,160 He had to shoot through trees, too, and his target was moving. 260 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,120 Just for the record, I was an expert marksman in both pistol and rifle. 261 00:17:03,950 --> 00:17:08,230 When I was governor of Minnesota, I amazingly still qualified as an expert 262 00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:09,230 years old. 263 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:10,849 All right, weapons going hot. 264 00:17:11,089 --> 00:17:12,089 Go ahead. 265 00:17:14,170 --> 00:17:15,170 Sure. 266 00:17:15,329 --> 00:17:16,650 Stand by, fire in the hole. 267 00:17:17,589 --> 00:17:19,069 Yeah, slam it. 268 00:17:19,589 --> 00:17:20,589 Slam it? Yeah. 269 00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:26,670 Stand by, fire in the hole. 270 00:17:28,450 --> 00:17:30,890 Then take the rest out. 271 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,280 How fast? 272 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,160 117. 273 00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:50,880 Well, let's go again. 274 00:17:54,220 --> 00:18:00,240 The Mannlicher is so cheap and hard to work, there's no way Oswald could get 275 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,900 three shots that fast. 276 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,160 How much? 277 00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:07,720 884. Fire in the hole. 278 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:13,080 I hit the target a few times and even got in a head shot. 279 00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:18,010 But nowhere near the time Oswald supposedly pulled it off. 280 00:18:19,330 --> 00:18:22,670 And he did it in six. 281 00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:26,610 This is impossible. 282 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:34,390 And I'm not the only one. In the past, a lot of reenactments by expert marksmen 283 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:39,830 failed, including ones by CBS News and even the Warren Commission. 284 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,960 I told the sixth floor museum curator, Gary Mack, about our little test. 285 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,760 You're the curator of this museum, so naturally you have to follow museum 286 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,760 policy. 287 00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,260 Let's pretend we're not here. 288 00:18:54,460 --> 00:18:58,680 Okay. Let's pretend you and I are sitting out having a cold one. Okay. 289 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,960 good. What's your position at that point? 290 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,020 Personally. Personally. Personal position. 291 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,040 Well, I go home. 292 00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:07,900 I think there's more to it than Lee Harvey Oswald. 293 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,680 Even the guy who's paid to spout the party line doesn't buy the official 294 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,760 I can't prove it. 295 00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:20,360 I have some bits and pieces that to me say there's got to be more to it than 296 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:21,880 Oswald. But I can't prove it. 297 00:19:23,540 --> 00:19:29,080 And there are a lot more questions about Lee Harvey Oswald's actions that day. 298 00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:35,760 Evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was set up. 299 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:41,500 I submit to you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a low -level agent of the federal 300 00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:46,520 government of the United States. Then, hiding in plain sight, Oswald's widow 301 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,680 meets the governor. 302 00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:50,300 He asked me a very brutal question. 303 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680 Would you sacrifice your children for the truth? 304 00:19:54,670 --> 00:19:58,930 And later, yet another U .S. president is linked to the assassination 305 00:19:58,930 --> 00:20:04,230 conspiracy. He had been unable to remember where he was on November 22, 306 00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:16,050 Jesse Ventura and investigator Alex Piper are in Dallas, Texas, tracing the 307 00:20:16,050 --> 00:20:19,910 route taken by Lee Harvey Oswald after he allegedly shot President John F. 308 00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:22,810 Kennedy. His path from the book depository. 309 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,460 would lead to his death two days later when he was shot by Jack Ruby in the 310 00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:29,160 basement of Dallas police headquarters. 311 00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:35,600 After the assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald had plenty of chances to 312 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,540 but he didn't. He hopped a bus, but didn't make it to the Greyhound station. 313 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,600 He got out in traffic and took a taxi cab past the train station and over the 314 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,580 bridge to his rooming house a couple of miles away. 315 00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:57,450 And when he gets here, he went inside, he changed his clothes, supposedly, 316 00:20:57,690 --> 00:21:00,470 obviously picked up the revolver and gun. 317 00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:05,510 And then the lady who owned this place said to him, you know, the president's 318 00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:08,370 been shot, you know, because, of course, it was all on television and all that. 319 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:13,510 And then he just went out the door. At this point, Oswald supposedly took off 320 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:17,910 foot. He'd walked three quarters of a mile when he was stopped on this 321 00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:21,350 residential street by a cop named J .D. Tippett. 322 00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:23,700 There you see 10th and Patton. 323 00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:30,600 Oswald supposedly fit a Dallas police radio description of a JFK suspect, a 324 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:36,620 white male, around 30 years old, about 5 '10". That description was based on a 325 00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:41,580 single witness in Dealey Plaza who said he saw someone in a book depository 326 00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:45,980 window. How could he tell the guy's height six floors up? 327 00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:52,480 Tippett is coming the same direction and pulls, you know, and then confronts 328 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000 Oswald right here. They have a conversation out the window. 329 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,260 Tippett gets out of the car and starts to walk around, and that's when he's 330 00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:02,560 shot. And that's when Oswald shot him about four or five times with a 331 00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:04,940 and yet they found shell casings on the ground. 332 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Why would he leave the evidence of shell casings lying next to the body? 333 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,560 You know, too pat, too easy, you know, is what it says to me. It's too perfect. 334 00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:19,020 After the shooting, Oswald continued his walk. 335 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Is this location on the way? Well, it's in the general direction, but it is a 336 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,580 slight detour. And this is where the official story gets even more dicey. 337 00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:34,540 Because the next thing Lee Harvey Oswald did was go to the movies. 338 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,500 Jim Mars was waiting for us outside the Texas theater where Lee Harvey Oswald 339 00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:42,500 was arrested. 340 00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:48,120 Mars is a major figure in the JFK conspiracy world. His book was a source 341 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,940 Oliver Stone's JFK movie. 342 00:22:50,260 --> 00:22:52,740 I always found it kind of strange that. 343 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,640 Here the guy has just murdered the president, allegedly shoots a police 344 00:22:57,820 --> 00:22:59,340 and ends up here. 345 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,880 Now, why Oswald was in the theater opens up a whole other area of investigation. 346 00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:08,940 So I think he was here to try to make some kind of contact to find out what's 347 00:23:08,940 --> 00:23:13,300 going on, what's happened here. So you're saying he came here to meet a 348 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,080 and then whoever it was that he was working for or working with cut him 349 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,420 I think that's what happened. And called the cops on him. 350 00:23:21,930 --> 00:23:23,430 So who was the contact? 351 00:23:23,810 --> 00:23:26,990 Jim Mars says Oswald worked for the CIA. 352 00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:34,790 I submit to you that Lee Harvey Oswald was a low -level agent of the federal 353 00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:35,790 government of the United States. 354 00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:40,770 Other evidence backs Jim Mars and Fletcher Prouty's claim that Oswald was 355 00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:41,770 CIA. 356 00:23:41,930 --> 00:23:46,570 Oswald was a U .S. Marine stationed at the CIA base in Atsugi, Japan. 357 00:23:47,530 --> 00:23:53,270 At 20, the ex -Marine defected to the Soviet Union, then returned to Texas two 358 00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:56,890 years later without a hitch, but with a new wife. 359 00:23:57,430 --> 00:24:02,610 Then he struck up an unlikely friendship with an educated older man named George 360 00:24:02,610 --> 00:24:08,690 DeMorenschild. A lot of experts think DeMorenschild was Oswald's CIA handler. 361 00:24:09,410 --> 00:24:14,010 If anyone would know if Oswald was CIA, it's his widow Marina. 362 00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:15,750 We did some digging. 363 00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:20,370 We found that after all these years, she still lives in the Dallas area. 364 00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:22,150 I got her on the phone. 365 00:24:22,930 --> 00:24:26,930 I think that Lee worked for the government. I think that he was an 366 00:24:26,930 --> 00:24:27,930 operative. 367 00:24:30,250 --> 00:24:32,270 How much do I fear for my life? 368 00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:36,910 Do you know what the Navy SEALs are? 369 00:24:38,450 --> 00:24:41,470 Well, I'm one of them. I don't carry that type of fear. 370 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:43,050 All right, bye -bye. 371 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,780 Her great fears for her children. 372 00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:52,880 And I can't blame her in light of what she's lived through and what she knows. 373 00:24:53,420 --> 00:24:56,180 She asked me a very brutal question. 374 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,400 She said, would you sacrifice your children for the truth? 375 00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:10,060 Marina Oswald agreed to meet with me. I had a lot of questions to ask. 376 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,960 Coming up, Jesse Ventura meets Marina Oswald, the widow of JFK's alleged 377 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,480 assassin. She said that she initially believed Lee did it because all she 378 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,400 learned was the government side of it. 379 00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:30,160 Then, confrontation with the man who's tried to kill off the JFK conspiracy 380 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,240 theories. Okay, off. 381 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,520 And later. 382 00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:34,660 Let's listen to it. 383 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,020 Exclusive. A bombshell confession from one of the conspirators. 384 00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:47,670 Jesse Ventura is breaking new ground in the JFK conspiracy. 385 00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:56,010 Evidence suggests clear connections between the alleged assassin and the 386 00:25:58,230 --> 00:26:01,630 Now the governor is headed off to meet Lee Harvey Oswald's widow. 387 00:26:02,550 --> 00:26:08,250 Marina Prusakova was 19 and living with her uncle, a prominent KGB officer, when 388 00:26:08,250 --> 00:26:10,850 she met the U .S. defector in Minsk in 1961. 389 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840 She and Oswald married six weeks later. 390 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,940 Marina Oswald met me in a public place just outside Dallas. 391 00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:27,100 She brought along her second husband, Kenneth. 392 00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:32,700 We talked for two and a half hours, but she refused to speak on camera. 393 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,940 She said she didn't want to put her daughters in jeopardy. Nearly 50 years 394 00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:39,980 later, she's still afraid. 395 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,080 Asked her point blank, were you a Russian agent? 396 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,580 And she said, absolutely not. 397 00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:50,920 She also felt that Lee was at some level working with the CIA. 398 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,900 She did feel also that George DeMorenshield was a CIA agent. 399 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,160 She felt that George had came onto the scene out of nowhere. Like he said, why 400 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,320 would this rich guy, George DeMorenshield, take any interest in us? 401 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,320 poor. 402 00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:15,320 She said that she initially believed Lee did it because all she learned was the 403 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,279 government side. 404 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,540 But she said today she unequivocally feels he did not do it. 405 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,240 I did get this totally verified. 406 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:29,140 She took the famous photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald holding the gun and the 407 00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:33,620 communist paper. She looked me right in the eye. She said, yes, I took that 408 00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:36,640 photograph. It's not doctored. It's not anything. 409 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,880 I said, why? 410 00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:40,660 She said, I don't know why. Lee wanted it done. 411 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,120 I got the impression that Lee was under instruction to get those photos taken. 412 00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:50,920 And I believe it was all part of creating the setup, you know, to create 413 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,880 photos of him with the gun. 414 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,360 I found an investigator who linked George H .W. 415 00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:12,580 Bush to the plot. 416 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,940 Russ Baker was his name. 417 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,160 He dug up a lot of secrets about the Bush family for a new book. 418 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,080 I want to meet this guy. 419 00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:22,420 I knew you would. 420 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,340 I expected another CIA connection, even another president. 421 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,060 But Russ Baker was about to tell me secret history. 422 00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:39,060 Nobody really thinks of George H .W. Bush being part of the JFK 423 00:28:39,380 --> 00:28:43,580 I came across the astounding fact that he had been unable to remember where he 424 00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:45,540 was on November 22, 1963. 425 00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:51,500 And of course, anyone over the age of five. I remember where I was. I was in 426 00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:55,660 seventh grade and junior high. They announced it, dismissed us and sent us 427 00:28:56,250 --> 00:29:00,850 George H .W. Bush was actually in Dallas the night before. He stayed overnight 428 00:29:00,850 --> 00:29:06,070 in Dallas, and that day he was there in the morning. We only know that the next 429 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:10,770 shows up after the shooting in Tyler, Texas, which is a short plane flight 430 00:29:10,770 --> 00:29:14,940 there. And he gets up at a Kiwanis Club meeting and is about to deliver his 431 00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:17,840 speech. And then he says, I've just learned that the president has died. And 432 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,860 then he goes to a public phone and he calls the FBI and he identifies himself 433 00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:26,180 name. And he says, I may have some idea who shot the president. 434 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,820 What he was doing was creating a reason to put a document into the government 435 00:29:30,820 --> 00:29:34,240 records showing that he was trying to be helpful and that he was in a place 436 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,340 other than Dallas around the time of the assassination. 437 00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:42,810 This move by George H .W. just adds to suspicions he was involved with the CIA 438 00:29:42,810 --> 00:29:48,570 long before he was appointed CIA director by President Gerald Ford in 439 00:29:49,950 --> 00:29:52,690 Warren Commissioner Gerald Ford. 440 00:29:53,390 --> 00:29:58,450 Is there documentation that backs this up? There are two key documents, both 441 00:29:58,450 --> 00:30:00,070 declassified FBI documents. 442 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,820 This is an FBI document stating that George H .W. Bush reported that a young 443 00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:10,620 Republican in Houston had threatened to kill the president the day before the 444 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:11,620 assassination. 445 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,740 Moreover, an old friend of his, a fellow by the name of George DeMorenchild, was 446 00:30:17,740 --> 00:30:20,540 essentially the handler for Lee Harvey Oswald. 447 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,520 George DeMorenchild. 448 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:28,960 Most every person agreed he was the CIA connection to Oswald. We didn't know his 449 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,960 other connections. 450 00:30:30,650 --> 00:30:35,590 He's a good friend of George H .W. Bush? George H .W. Bush was a roommate in 451 00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:36,710 prep school with his nephew. 452 00:30:36,990 --> 00:30:40,630 Really? And then there's a connection there, naturally, because George H .W. 453 00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:44,170 Bush was CIA, and so was George DeMorenchild. 454 00:30:44,490 --> 00:30:45,409 Well, that's right. 455 00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:49,470 Oswald's handler, this George DeMorenchild, whatever happened to him? 456 00:30:49,690 --> 00:30:55,250 Well, fascinating thing, Jesse. In 1976, when George Bush was the head of the 457 00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:56,470 CIA, he received a letter. 458 00:30:57,310 --> 00:31:01,590 from George DeMorenchild, and he says, Dear George, congratulations. 459 00:31:03,390 --> 00:31:04,610 I need your help. 460 00:31:04,810 --> 00:31:08,730 I'm in trouble. There's some kind of a net closing in on me. Perhaps I've been 461 00:31:08,730 --> 00:31:13,330 indiscreet and talking too much about Lee Harvey Oswald. Six months later, 462 00:31:13,530 --> 00:31:16,350 George DeMorenchild is dead from a shotgun blast to the head. 463 00:31:17,490 --> 00:31:19,790 They called it a suicide. 464 00:31:22,090 --> 00:31:24,430 So we got another connection to a president. 465 00:31:24,670 --> 00:31:26,090 It seems a little tenuous to me. 466 00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:31,150 Well, check this out. This is also from Russ Baker. This was taken outside the 467 00:31:31,150 --> 00:31:35,510 school book depository just after the assassination. Just after it. Does this 468 00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:36,830 man look familiar to you? 469 00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:38,830 Man, I don't know. 470 00:31:39,290 --> 00:31:43,370 That looks a lot like George H .W. Bush to me. Oh, come on. That could be 471 00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:46,870 anyone. Well, a lot of people seem to think it. That does bear resemblance. 472 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,380 Then there's the famous picture of the three tramps that were arrested in 473 00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:53,000 Plaza right after the shooting. 474 00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,940 Now, there they are being marched across Dealey Plaza. 475 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,300 Many experts say they were dressed too good to be tramps. And you see the short 476 00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:05,180 tramp in the back, the old man tramp right there? 477 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,880 A lot of experts think that that is E. Howard Hunt, the CIA agent. 478 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,520 Operation Bodyguard? 479 00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:12,740 The water knee burglar? 480 00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:13,940 Yep. 481 00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:15,820 The one and only. 482 00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:24,610 Coming up, Vincent Bugliosi put Charles Manson behind bars, but he's not willing 483 00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:29,690 to confront JFK's real killers. Tell me he had no connection to the CIA. 484 00:32:30,210 --> 00:32:36,050 I'm sorry, Vince. And later, the tramp's photos lead to a startling confession 485 00:32:36,050 --> 00:32:39,350 and make the conspiracy very real. 486 00:32:39,550 --> 00:32:42,650 Do you feel fear today in speaking out? 487 00:32:47,820 --> 00:32:52,500 Jesse Ventura's investigation into the JFK conspiracy has taken him to Los 488 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:57,140 Angeles. His next stop is at the home of a very influential friend. 489 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,540 Vincent Bugliosi was the DA who put away Charles Manson. 490 00:33:01,940 --> 00:33:06,740 He's the prosecutor who wants to charge George W. Bush with murder, religiously 491 00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:08,600 lying to take us to war in Iraq. 492 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,380 And he's author of the latest, most comprehensive book on the JFK 493 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:16,080 More than 1 ,600 pages. 494 00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:19,720 concluding that Oswald did it on his own. 495 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,640 Vince, in a nutshell, why do you think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and killed 496 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,640 President Kennedy? 497 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,220 Jesse, Lee Harvey Oswald, everything, everything pointed to this guy's guilt. 498 00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:35,720 Let's assume for the sake of argument that the CIA or the mob said, let's kill 499 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,280 Kennedy. Oswald would have been just the type of guy that the CIA or mob would 500 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,160 want to rely upon to commit the biggest murder. 501 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,820 in American history. I'm being sarcastic now. 502 00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:51,260 Okay, then let me be sarcastic back. Just the type of guy you'd set up to be 503 00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:54,720 patsy. You haven't read about... I've read a lot. 504 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,880 All right, let me ask you this question, okay? You're going to get some tight 505 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,520 -lipped assassin that's got a track record for you that you know is going to 506 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,520 the job done. 507 00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:08,320 You'd hire the good guy that can shoot that will get the job done. That's 508 00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:12,500 And you'll set up the crazy guy. That's the answer. And you'll set up the crazy 509 00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:14,340 guy to take the fall. Okay. 510 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:20,480 There's no evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald ever had any association of any 511 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,080 whatsoever with these groups believed to be behind the assassination. 512 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,679 Okay. You won't let me talk. No, wait a while. You got your... Wait a while. 513 00:34:30,699 --> 00:34:33,179 Wait a while now. Are you going to let me interrupt you when you're talking? 514 00:34:33,380 --> 00:34:37,480 But when you tell me he had no connection to the CIA, who's George 515 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,800 Shield? That was his handbook. 516 00:34:40,020 --> 00:34:40,759 George DeMoren was not CIA. 517 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,920 Absolutely not. 518 00:34:42,260 --> 00:34:43,260 Absolutely not. 519 00:34:43,980 --> 00:34:48,320 Vince. Absolutely not. Both the House Select Committee and... The Warren 520 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,040 Commission. And those I should... The Warren Commission I definitely should 521 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,540 believe. Wait a minute. Turn the camera off. 522 00:34:56,090 --> 00:34:59,570 Vince is a friend, but that's what we're up against. 523 00:34:59,970 --> 00:35:04,030 You can pile up all the evidence in the world and they don't want to listen. 524 00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:08,090 Why hasn't anything leaked out in close to 47 years from all these 525 00:35:08,090 --> 00:35:11,010 conspiratorial groups? Because there's nothing to leak out. 526 00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:13,250 Well, something did leak out. 527 00:35:15,690 --> 00:35:18,710 I got a lead on that photo of the three tramps. 528 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:24,250 A guy said he had firsthand evidence about that and a lot more. 529 00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:28,790 He told me to show up at a motel on Hollywood Boulevard. 530 00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:31,290 This wasn't the walk of fame. 531 00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:33,810 This guy was lying low. 532 00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:43,408 Who's that? 533 00:35:43,410 --> 00:35:44,490 Jesse Ventura. 534 00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:58,310 Saint John Hunt is the son of E. Howard Hunt, the CIA spook who ran Vice 535 00:35:58,310 --> 00:36:04,850 President Nixon's hit squad, Operation 40, who reunited the old gang to break 536 00:36:04,850 --> 00:36:06,310 the law for President Nixon. 537 00:36:06,910 --> 00:36:10,490 He went to prison for masterminding the Watergate break -in. 538 00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:17,450 Hunt died in 2007, and he took his secrets with him. Well, not all of them. 539 00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:22,470 Your father, E. Howard Hunt, he was involved, obviously, he was a CIA 540 00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:25,190 his whole life. 27 years in the CIA. 541 00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:30,550 And there's many tie -ins with the murder of John Kennedy as well as 542 00:36:30,690 --> 00:36:34,950 Certainly you have the Cuban faction that was involved in Watergate and can 543 00:36:34,950 --> 00:36:38,830 traced back to the Cuban Revolution and to the overthrow of the Castro regime. 544 00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:43,990 St. John, let me ask you this. Do you feel fear today in speaking out? It's a 545 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:46,970 more sunlight that comes onto this. The more exposure I get. 546 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:51,900 in telling my story, puts me in a greater level of danger. 547 00:36:52,940 --> 00:36:56,740 St. John Hunt's story provided some dangerous answers. 548 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,940 First off, there was that photo of the three tramps at Dealey Plaza, the ones 549 00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:05,480 who looked too clean -cut to be hobos. 550 00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:10,280 You know, my gut has always told me that that old tramp has just... 551 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:15,020 So much of a resemblance to my dad. He had very unique looks. He had a very 552 00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:18,140 long, thin nostrils, you know, pointed face. 553 00:37:18,420 --> 00:37:20,900 He had this kind of jowl thing going on here. 554 00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:25,480 Well, if it's any consolation, I've looked at both your father's photo and I 555 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,940 agree with you. Yeah, I was aware of all these things, but, you know, I just 556 00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:32,280 didn't know what to think. And, of course, my dad would never talk about it 557 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:38,660 until he brought me down to his bedside in Miami, Florida, when it was thought 558 00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:41,100 that he was going to live. much more than another few weeks. 559 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,840 That's when a father was about to make a startling confession to his son. St. 560 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,080 John Hunt wanted me to hear some tapes he'd recorded in his father's final 561 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:59,420 E. Howard Hunt's deathbed confessions about who really killed JFK. 562 00:38:00,970 --> 00:38:06,390 He was getting old, and you sat with him, and he confessed that he 563 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:10,450 in the murder of John Kennedy to you? That's exactly true. That was stunning 564 00:38:10,450 --> 00:38:11,450 information. 565 00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:13,470 Shocking. 566 00:38:14,130 --> 00:38:18,910 He said that there was, in fact, a plot, that the plot was to have been carried 567 00:38:18,910 --> 00:38:22,270 out in Miami, and it was changed to Dallas. 568 00:38:22,610 --> 00:38:26,010 Well, rather than saying anything more, let's listen to it. All right, here we 569 00:38:26,010 --> 00:38:27,010 go. 570 00:38:29,190 --> 00:38:35,810 Coming up, the first time on television, a JFK conspirator confesses and names 571 00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:40,210 names. I was a bench warmer for the big event. 572 00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:51,110 Jesse Ventura is with the son of CIA operative E. Howard Hunt, about to hear 573 00:38:51,110 --> 00:38:55,550 Hunt's deathbed confession of his role in the JFK murder conspiracy. 574 00:38:56,490 --> 00:39:02,090 He admitted what to you? Exactly. He admitted that the code name for the 575 00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:05,690 operation to assassinate President Kennedy was called the Big Event. 576 00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:07,870 And he was proud of it. 577 00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:12,890 How is one proud of that? I mean, they really felt that determined that Kennedy 578 00:39:12,890 --> 00:39:14,410 was so bad for the country? 579 00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:17,390 Well, not for the country, for the interests. 580 00:39:17,770 --> 00:39:21,750 Operation 40 took people out. That was their job. That was their mission. 581 00:39:22,070 --> 00:39:24,270 And it was the same bunch of guys. 582 00:39:24,970 --> 00:39:26,810 that were trying to assassinate Castro. 583 00:39:27,110 --> 00:39:32,150 David Morales, Frank Sturgis, who would have done anything to avenge the failure 584 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:33,129 at the Bay of Pigs. 585 00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:36,690 Well, rather than saying anything more, let's listen to it. All right, here we 586 00:39:36,690 --> 00:39:37,690 go. 587 00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:46,670 Sturgis and Morales and people of that yoke stayed in 588 00:39:46,670 --> 00:39:53,270 apartment houses during preparations for the big event. 589 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,280 Their addresses were very subject to change. 590 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,120 I was a benchwarmer on it. 591 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:09,840 We backtracked the chain of command during the run -up for the big 592 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,840 event. 593 00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:16,380 There it was, all spelled out, E. Howard Hunt admitting a plot. 594 00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:20,920 And it verified the information I'd gotten from old Ron. 595 00:40:22,570 --> 00:40:27,070 Let's go beyond Kennedy and let's go to Watergate. What were they there to find 596 00:40:27,070 --> 00:40:28,970 when they burglarized this place? 597 00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:35,990 My father told me that there was a safe that they were to get into, and that 598 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:41,370 safe was evidence linking President Nixon to Operation 40. 599 00:40:41,590 --> 00:40:48,510 The information that 600 00:40:48,510 --> 00:40:49,530 was in that safe. 601 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,600 Would that have also led to Kennedy? It very much would have led to Kennedy. Do 602 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,240 you have any idea why those notebooks disappeared? What was in them that would 603 00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,660 cause them to be that sensitive? 604 00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:08,160 These guys were an intact, ready -to -go group of assassins. They were sent 605 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,720 worldwide to eliminate foreign leaders, diplomats, anybody that was unfriendly 606 00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:15,040 to the United States government. 607 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,760 And at that time, many people believed Kennedy. 608 00:41:18,510 --> 00:41:22,530 was unfavorable to the United States government. Absolutely, absolutely. So 609 00:41:22,530 --> 00:41:26,850 they had to do was take this Operation 40 and send it to Dallas. And just point 610 00:41:26,850 --> 00:41:30,790 it in that direction. These guys were queued up and ready to go. They were 611 00:41:30,790 --> 00:41:32,510 locked, loaded, and ready to rumble. 612 00:41:32,850 --> 00:41:34,810 The tapes added one more element. 613 00:41:35,010 --> 00:41:37,590 Another future president pulled into the plot. 614 00:41:38,490 --> 00:41:39,750 First Richard Nixon. 615 00:41:40,510 --> 00:41:41,910 Then Gerald Ford. 616 00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:44,530 Then George H .W. Bush. 617 00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:47,310 Now... LBK. 618 00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:54,580 He, in my opinion, had an almost maniacal urge to 619 00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:55,580 become president. 620 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:02,600 He regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that. 621 00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:06,840 Lyndon Baines Johnson, the vice president who became president. 622 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,500 Now, this is a person that my dad implicated in the plot directly. 623 00:42:13,450 --> 00:42:17,450 Looks like it took a dying man to finally get to the truth. 624 00:42:17,870 --> 00:42:23,070 All these years later, people are still afraid to tell what they know. 625 00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:29,210 Maybe that's why our leaders talk about change while everything seems to stay 626 00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:30,210 the same. 627 00:42:30,270 --> 00:42:34,190 Maybe they know something we don't. 628 00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:40,690 This is where JFK was laid to rest. 629 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,400 The eternal flame marks his grave. 630 00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:49,800 I came here to shoot this final statement, but the Army wouldn't let me. 631 00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:57,040 A guy named Ken Hawes from their public affairs office told us, they don't like 632 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,420 our show and what we've got to say. 633 00:42:59,740 --> 00:43:02,380 So I got my congresswoman on the case. 634 00:43:02,660 --> 00:43:07,100 All she got was more runaround, more bull, and no answers. 635 00:43:07,740 --> 00:43:12,240 Almost 50 years later, it's still the same old military industrial complex. 636 00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:18,140 The same power still calling the shots, still threatening, still trying to keep 637 00:43:18,140 --> 00:43:19,140 us from the truth. 638 00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,920 A lone gunman, a magic bullet. Wake up. 639 00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:26,620 I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is Conspiracy Theory.
